Chapter 3112 We Need to Deepen Cooperation
In the Huaxia accommodation area.
Duanwu led a group of people to greet the arriving guests at the door.
"Anan, it's been a long time."
A year has passed, and Duanwu has grown a lot taller and more mature than before.
Perhaps it's because he's now the team leader, but he speaks much more steadily.
He gave Fatty Nan a big hug and greeted him with a smile.
"It's so nice to see you on Dragon Boat Festival."
Do you know?
"I almost didn't make it."
"Those damn bastards actually made us participate in the competition under the name of Hong Kong."
Fatty Nan had just started talking when Helen nudged him twice from behind. Fatty Nan immediately understood and then smiled at Duanwu.
Duanwu understood the implication and didn't discuss the matter further.
My father said that it was our land, and we would take it back sooner or later.
Just like when the Portuguese had a revolution, they wanted to return the territory to them.
At that time, he wondered, since they were going to return it, why shouldn't we accept it?
Later, after listening to his father's analysis, he understood what the Portuguese were planning.
Their attempt to colonize it concealed a huge conspiracy.
Because once the other side is recognized as a colony, it means that the other side can obtain the right to national self-determination, that is, the right to decide its own future.
In other words, the people living there could choose to return, become independent, or maintain their superior-subordinate relationship with the Franks.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, the domestic authorities are negotiating with the Portuguese to clarify that it is a historical issue.
Hong Kong is also a legacy of history.
Of course, although it has not been taken back, its domestic influence is gradually penetrating into Macau through the Peninsula Hospital.
Duanwu was unaware of this, but Old Chen and Yang Xiaotao had already taken action.
Even Kowloon in Hong Kong is a wedge.
"Hi, Yang Zengyi, how is it, long time no see."
Helen went up to greet Duanwu, and the girls behind her also turned their attention to her.
The boy in front of me was very tall, and his simple clothes looked quite decent on him.
With his hands in his pockets, he revealed two small dimples before even speaking, and his smile was like a warm little sun.
When Duanwu saw Helen, she smiled generously and said, "Hello, Helen, I'm so grateful for your help last time."
"I brought a gift with me this time to express my gratitude."
Helen understood that the other party was referring to the help she had provided with pagers and computers in Hong Kong.
"is it?"
"That's great!"
Helen was delighted to hear about the gifts, while Duanwu nodded. The two sides then introduced the participants to each other before entering the accommodation.
At that moment, Alphat walked over from the side.
Upon seeing this, Duanwu immediately ran forward, "Uncle Fat."
Dragon Boat Festival!
The two's enthusiastic embrace surprised everyone present.
It's important to know that Alphat's status here is no lower than Helen's.
Seeing the two people, one dressed simply and the other dressed expensively, happily embracing each other and even patting each other, I felt a sense of disharmony.
Soon, everyone arrived at the rest area and began talking about the competition.
Although he didn't see Miao Miao, seeing several familiar faces from the Dragon Boat Festival still made Alfat very happy.
He then handed over the information he had collected over this period to Duanwu, saying, "I arrived early. Here is the information I collected. You can take a look."
After saying that, he took out a few sheets of paper from the small box.
On the other side, Fatty Nan also took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "I also have some information. I have to say, there are a lot of participants in this game competition, and quite a few experts as well."
Duanwu didn't stand on ceremony. He took the documents, glanced at them, and then handed them to Xiaoyu and Xingxing beside him.
The group looked at each other, and finally Xiaoyu took the documents and left the room.
"Wait a moment, I'll have someone print out a few more copies so everyone can take a look."
As Duanwu spoke to the group, Albert initially didn't understand, thinking it referred to a photocopier.
But the machine next to the computer in the distance was something I didn't recognize at all.
Then, I learned from Duanwu that the machine was a printer.
"You've figured out the printer!"
Alphat exclaimed, his expression excited.
He knew what Yang Xiaotao was doing before he left Beijing, but it needed to be kept secret, so he didn't know how far it was going.
Duanwu nodded and said, following the script that had been given before the trip, "This was made a long time ago, but it has been in the experimental stage."
Hearing Duanwu say this, and seeing Duanwu wink subtly, Alphat immediately understood and then stepped in to play the straight man.
How many words can your printer print?
"That depends on how many words are on a single page on the computer!"
"That's amazing?"
"Of course, we've started using it in China. It's really easy to use for office work. My dad typed up an exam paper for me and it only took him less than ten minutes."
Duanwu gave a wry smile, and Alfat immediately laughed when he heard this, because his brother Tao was really capable of doing such a thing.
Hearing this, Xingxing's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy.
However, the thought of his mother brought a touch of warmth to his heart.
He had no father, but he had the best mother.
"That's such a pity!"
"Yes, it's a pity you're not here, otherwise you would definitely have gotten a share!"
"That's impossible, we learned different things!"
"cut…"
"Don't be angry anymore. Come to my place later, and we'll have a good competition!"
"I'm afraid you'll lose badly!"
"You're just bragging!"
"Whoever loses has to cook."
"Okay, I want braised pork."
"You have to win first."
The two chatted, and everyone around them could tell that their relationship was unusual.
Helen, who was constantly translating for Juliet and the others, looked at the two of them and heard their conversation. She immediately recalled her father's introduction of the Duanwu family.
Especially the other party's father.
It is said that he was a very talented, powerful, high-ranking, and very enlightened middle-aged man.
Even his father had many praises for him!
Such a person must be reasonable.
When Juliet, Anna, and the others looked at the printer, the shock in their hearts was far greater than what they saw.
Is this still the backward and ignorant China?
Perhaps it was true before.
But now, in their eyes, there is only mystery!
A mystery that defies comprehension!
Ms. Shuya looked at the machine in front of her, trying to hide the surprise on her face, but fine wrinkles still appeared on her carefully maintained skin.
Similarly, Alphat's old butler squinted his eyes, certain that China was not only showing off the machine, but also looking for buyers.
And what they have in abundance right now is money.
As long as their relationship with China remains close, their status will be guaranteed.
Even in the worst of times, one could seek refuge in Beijing.
This is what Mosidov told him; it's very necessary to strengthen ties right now.
Squeak… As the sound stopped, Wang Guodong took the paper off the printer and examined it closely; it was the same as the one on the computer.
This relieved Ran Hongbing, who was in charge of the maintenance, as he was finally able to complete the task.
"Your Majesty, may I take a look?"
Looking at the white paper in Wang Guodong's hand and the words on it, Ms. Shuya couldn't help but ask a question.
"of course can!"
Wang Guodong handed the paper to the other party, then nodded to Jiang Ningning, who was operating the computer. The latter then operated the computer again, and soon a dozen or so sheets of paper were printed.
Wang Guodong glanced at it again, then handed it to Duanwu and the others.
Upon receiving the paper, Duanwu immediately distributed it to everyone, then led a group of friends to the side.
At this moment, having fully witnessed the benefits of printers, Ms. Shuya could no longer hold back and asked, "Wang, did you just make this printer?"
Wang Guodong immediately nodded, "Yes, this is a printer we developed specifically for computers!"
"Oh, that's fantastic!"
Ms. Shuya received a definite answer, and then glanced at the printer next to the computer.
She knew that before this printer, the main function of the computers here was to play games.
But now…
Playing games is just a secondary feature.
Having a printer is like giving a computer two hands, allowing it to do more things.
"Your Majesty, I think we need to have a talk!"
Wang Guodong didn't expect the other party to be so direct, but he had already made a contingency plan before coming, so he smiled and nodded.
"However, I'd like to ask for your help before that."
Wang Guodong was referring to something that happened previously.
Ms. Shuya immediately nodded, "That's no problem."
"But you only brought two this time?"
"This might not be enough!"
Wang Guodong smiled and said, "We brought two, that's enough!"
Ms. Shuya laughed along with her.
At this moment, the old butler stepped forward and gave a slight greeting, "Mr. Wang, it's been a long time!"
Upon hearing the old butler's bow, Wang Guodong hurriedly stepped forward and warmly extended his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Beilanbanlong, it's been almost a year since we last met, long time no see!"
"Yes, it was in Beijing last time that we met. I didn't expect to meet you here again. It's an honor!"
"Me too, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The two exchanged pleasantries. Shuya glanced at them, especially giving the old butler a serious look, before walking over and smiling. "Gentlemen, why don't we leave this place to the young man and talk inside?"
As he spoke, he looked at Duanwu and the others who were discussing something.
Wang Guodong and the old butler smiled at each other and then nodded.
Then, the three of them led the translator to the lounge next door!
Not long after, Ms. Shuya left with a smile on her face and quickly got into her car and drove away.
Meanwhile, after returning to his post, the old butler picked up the satellite phone and called Mosidov.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yes, Master, there is a printer right here. I saw it print out the files on the computer myself."
Upon hearing this, Mosidov took a deep breath on the other end of the phone and said, "I understand, I'll contact Sijiucheng right away."
"Master, I think we can act as agents and have the young master handle things."
"Just like Great Wall Motors, you know, this only benefits us."
"Furthermore, we need to deepen our cooperation and ideally come up with more projects to keep Mr. Gu on our side."
At this crucial moment, the old butler still wanted to remind his master, after all, in his eyes, his master lacked some courage.
If he had been more ruthless and had simply dispersed the believers or eliminated those who were causing trouble, they wouldn't be facing their current predicament.
"I see."
After a long pause, Mosidov's affirmative voice came through the phone, and then the call ended.
Back in her office, Ms. Shuya immediately picked up the phone, but instead of reporting the situation to her superiors, she called the head of the family.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but there is indeed something very important right now."
After a few polite exchanges, Ms. Shu Ya explained the situation: "I believe that the emergence of this printer will change the way we work now."
"And in the future, it will become an essential item for people, just like the television set in their homes."
“Sir, if we are not able to quickly seize the domestic computer market, then I think it is necessary for us to take the agency rights.”
"Even if it's just domestic, it's fine."
"At least, we don't have to worry about our money being earned by third parties."
After Ms. Shuya finished expressing her opinion, the old man on the other end of the phone, with a pipe in his mouth and a solemn expression, looked on.
After a moment, he said, "You need to understand, this computer uses a Chinese operating system. If we want to use it, we'll need to learn that damned Chinese. Do you think the freedom-loving French people will accept this?"
Regarding this question, Ms. Shuya said very seriously, "Sir, you may not know, but the other party's keyboard is arranged in English, which means that English can be used."
The other side remained silent.
"Moreover, we do not currently have the capability to complete a French operating system, and we haven't even built a computer for it yet."
"Sir, we must face our own shortcomings, because that is a fact."
"Furthermore, they haven't stopped progressing. You can tell from the printers that they are constantly researching and improving computers."
The other side remained silent.
However, Ms. Shuya's last words successfully moved the other party, and the old man's voice of compromise could be heard on the phone: "I want to know their quote."
"You should know that this computer costs fifty thousand US dollars."
"Sir, I just spoke with a senior official on their behalf. If we buy in bulk, the price is negotiable."
The old man suddenly put down his pipe. "How much do they cost?"
"Starting at 100,000 units, each unit costs 45,000 US dollars."
"Starting at 500,000 units, at $40,000 per unit."
"Starting with one million units, each unit can be discounted to $30,000."
"This is the discounted price he offered us, but I think there's still room for negotiation."
Shuya explained the prices, which were, of course, internal prices.
If we actually buy it back, the price can be adjusted domestically.
Of course, based on the current average income in France, it's about seven thousand US dollars a year.
A family usually consists of two people.
In this way, a family only needs to use two years' worth of savings to buy a computer.
If it were lowered even further...
They can earn more.
"Shuya, I need some time to persuade more people in the family. In the meantime, I'll trouble you to keep in touch with them."
After a long silence, the old man opposite him slowly spoke, ultimately unable to let go of this benefit.
"Understood, I will keep in touch with them."
"However, they are sending a printer to West Germany tomorrow, at that time..."
"We need to hurry."
After Ms. Shuya finished speaking, the person on the other end cursed and then quickly hung up the phone.
As Ms. Shuya walked to the window, she looked at the bustling street outside, her gaze lingering on a Velociraptor, and her expression suddenly became complicated.
She knew that her family would definitely agree.
Since the family began collaborating with the other party on the calculator and insulin projects, they have made a lot of money.
However, these things are not enough to satisfy people.
Therefore, they will seize this opportunity and then make more money.
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked to the workbench next to him, and then turned on the computer from China.
After waiting a moment, I opened a folder and wrote down the current collaborative projects inside.
Looking up, one can clearly see some of the projects that China has publicly announced.
And at the very top of the list is none other than Imperial Jade Liquor.
