Sincerely.
Meng Zhiyuan's humble office.
"Mr. Meng, Nanxing has acquired several machine tool companies." Lao Mao reported the situation.
"I heard that too.
Those companies are all small companies with outdated equipment.
It is not a good thing for Nanxing to acquire them. "Meng Zhiyuan is still paying attention to Nanxing silently.
Waiting for Nanxing to show signs of decline will add insult to injury.
"Mr. Meng, Nanxing is not having an easy time under the pressure of foreign machine tool companies.
It was Su Mingcheng who kept throwing money so that Nanxing could survive. "
"Su Mingcheng has a good vision.
Even if Nanxing goes bankrupt, Su Mingcheng will not lose money based on those patents. "Meng Zhiyuan values Nanxing's technology patents the most.
If Nanxing goes bankrupt, Meng Zhiyuan will definitely take action to obtain those patents.
"Those patents are indeed very important." Of course Lao Mao also knew.
It is precisely because of these technical patents that the rapid changes in domestic machine tools have been launched, and Zhongcheng has reached its current situation.
"Lao Mao, how is our company's income and expenditure this month?"
"It's okay. With the cost savings, the company's profit this month is not that small, probably..."
"Now is a difficult period for the company. I hope everyone can work together to help Zhongcheng tide over the difficulties."
"Okay, definitely, Mr. Meng, don't worry, the people who are staying now are all Zhongcheng's 'old men', and none of them will leave Zhongcheng."
"That's good. I believe that as long as we get through this period of time, Zhongcheng will have great development in the future."
Meng Zhiyuan is in a dormant state now, waiting for the situation outside to change before he comes out to cause trouble and soar into the sky.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye.
Nanxing.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Wang, the research and development of high-end machine tools is full of difficulties, and there are several technologies that cannot be broken through in a short time." Yang Cheng reported the situation to Su Mingcheng and Wang Weidong.
The situation of the Nanxing R&D Department in developing high-end machine tools is not optimistic.
Yang Cheng gave a detailed report on the research and development situation. There are many problems that cannot be overcome in a short time and will take time to solve.
"It's expected." Su Mingcheng said expressionlessly.
"It's normal to have difficulties." Wang Weidong frowned.
Developing high-end machine tools is not that easy. Everyone knows this.
However, how to develop it next needs to be discussed.
In fact, there are only two options.
One is to continue spending money on research and development.
The advantage of doing this is that high-end machine tools can be developed in the shortest possible time.
Disadvantages: high investment, high risk, and likely to lose everything.
The other is to develop slowly.
First of all, it is impossible for Nanxing to stop developing high-end machine tools.
Therefore, when you encounter difficulties, take your time and grind slowly.
The advantage is that the investment is small and the risk is small.
The disadvantage is that the time to develop high-end machine tools will be greatly extended. Maybe the gap with foreign machine tool companies is getting wider and wider.
"Mr. Su, Yang Cheng and I have discussed it. It's better to take time and slowly grind it out and not rush for success." Wang Weidong said about the next research and development plan.
Wang Weidong suggested that to be on the safe side, it is better not to invest a lot of money in the development of high-end machine tools.
Now, Nanxing is facing internal and external troubles, so Wang Weidong's suggestion is appropriate.
Su Mingcheng was noncommittal, looked at Yang Cheng and asked, "Yang Cheng, please tell me more specifically about the technical difficulties."
"Oh, okay." Yang Cheng was slightly startled. Although he didn't understand why Su Mingyu asked, he still said, "Mr. Su, the research and development of high-end machine tools has these aspects.
The first is ., which has five problems that cannot be solved in a short time.
This takes time to try slowly.
As far as I know, foreign machine tool companies also developed it after a long period of exploration and accumulation of experience. "
"Let's do this." Su Mingcheng hesitated after hearing this, "I'll consult relevant experts about the problems you mentioned. Maybe there will be solutions."
These are the issues Yang Cheng mentioned.
For others, it is difficult and they don’t know how to solve it.
For Su Mingcheng, it is very simple. Su Mingcheng knows how to solve it.
Others need to accumulate experience over a long period of time and explore solutions to overcome problems.
Su Mingcheng doesn't need it.
Su Mingcheng knows the optimal solution. (Su Mingcheng has already maxed out all the skills on earth. In machine tool research and development, Su Mingcheng is also maxed out.)
Now, Su Mingcheng plans to find a 'reasonable' excuse and tell Yang Cheng the solution.
That's right, Su Mingcheng plans to open a 'small hookup'.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
Nanxing fell behind, so it was severely beaten by foreign machine tool companies.
However, Su Mingcheng was not happy.
Su Mingcheng planned to take action to solve the problem and allow Nanxing to grow rapidly and overwhelm foreign machine tool companies.
"Consult relevant experts?" Yang Cheng didn't understand.
Yang Cheng couldn't think of anyone. Who could Su Mingcheng consult?
Unless consulted, R&D personnel of foreign machine tool companies.
But, how could the experts from the foreign devils help?
Wang Weidong also looked at Su Mingcheng with some confusion.
Wang Weidong didn't know what Su Mingcheng meant.
Who to consult?
Who can consult?
The foreign devils won't help.
The Daxia people who serve the foreign devils will not help.
Who else can I consult?
"That's it for today." Su Mingcheng left without saying much.
"Mr. Wang, what does Mr. Su mean?" Yang Cheng asked. He was still confused and didn't understand what Su Mingcheng meant.
"I don't know either, let's wait and see." Wang Weidong didn't know what medicine Su Mingcheng was selling in his gourd.
Not a few days.
Su Mingcheng came to Nanxing again.
"Mr. Wang, call Yang Cheng and the others over." Su Mingcheng's face looked a little happy.
"Okay." Wang Weidong didn't ask any more questions.
soon.
Yang Cheng and others arrived.
"Hello, Mr. Su."
"Stop chatting. Yang Cheng, an expert has given a solution to the problem you mentioned last time.
He dictated it and did not allow me to record it or write it down silently.
Now, I say, listen. "
"Okay." Yang Cheng and others were slightly excited.
"The first problem, the solution
The second. The third. The fifth.
I'm done. Do you understand? "Su Mingcheng finished speaking soon.
Yang Cheng and others did not reply, they discussed in low voices.
“The solution to the first problem should be correct and consistent with our research and development ideas.
The second solution can be verified like this
The latter solution cannot be verified, and you can only try it after the first two solutions are successful."
Yang Cheng and the others discussed for a while, "Mr. Su, the first two of the solutions you mentioned should be feasible, but the latter cannot be determined yet."
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he hesitated and asked something he shouldn't have asked, "Mr. Su, which expert are you consulting?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't. Since the solution is feasible, go and study it." Su Mingcheng sent Yang Cheng and others away.
"Mr. Su, these solutions" Wang Weidong didn't want to ask where the solutions came from, but how much money Su Mingcheng spent to buy them.
"Two million ugly yuan." Su Mingcheng said the number casually.
"Only 2 million ugly yuan?" Wang Weidong didn't think it was much, but felt it was less.
If there is no solution, the money needed by Yang Cheng and others for research and development will definitely exceed 20 million RMB.
"Mr. Wang, this money is equivalent to my investment. You can help with the subsequent procedures."
"no problem."
A few months later.
Yang Cheng and others, with a specific research plan, broke through those five problems.
"Mr. Su, we succeeded!" Wang Weidong, Yang Cheng and others happily explained the research and development status to Su Mingcheng.
"It's good if you succeed. What are the next problems?" Su Mingcheng asked.
"Mr. Su, the previous five problems are just the first step.
Next, there are steps two and three.
There are six steps in total.
At every step, there are six or seven problems.
The problem with this second step is"
"I understand, wait for my news." Now that the cheating was over, Su Mingcheng planned to continue until he developed a high-end machine tool.
A few days passed.
Su Mingcheng came to Nanxing again.
"Already asked.
It's still the same old rules, I say, listen." Su Mingcheng gave the second step of the solution.
"Mr. Su, don't worry, we'll go verify it right away." Yang Cheng and others left in a hurry.
"Mr. Su, what is the consultation fee for this time?"
"It's a little more this time, three million U.S. dollars."
"It's not much, Mr. Su, let's count it as your investment."
"OK."
Another few months passed.
Yang Cheng and others have verified the second step of the solution, allowing the development of high-end machine tools to take another step forward.
"Mr. Su, we have a rough idea of the third step. The details are as follows." This time, Yang Cheng and the others made progress.
They are no longer helpless when facing problems, but have some solutions.
"Do you want me to consult again?" Su Mingcheng asked directly.
"Mr. Su, why don't you wait until we try it?" Yang Cheng and others felt a little embarrassed.
In the first and second steps of the research and development of high-end machine tools, Su Mingcheng "feeds" them.
Yang Cheng and others just verified whether other people's solutions were correct.
Yang Cheng and others felt that they had not contributed much and were a little embarrassed.
"Okay, you guys try it first." Su Mingcheng agreed.
time flies.
It’s the New Year again.
Su Mingyu, Shi Tiandong, Su Mingzhe, Wu Fei, Xiaomi, they are back.
Airport.
Su Mingcheng came to pick them up.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan also came.
Julie didn't come.
"Brother, sister-in-law, little sister, Xiaoshi" Su Mingcheng waved hello.
"Mingcheng!"
"Second brother!"
"You've lost weight, Mingyu, why have you lost weight?" Su Daqiang first cared about Su Mingyu.
"Dad, I'm not losing weight. I've been running to exercise recently." When she was working before, Su Mingyu worked too hard and her body was not that healthy.
Now, in Chou Country, accompanied by Shi Tiandong, Su Mingyu started running to exercise.
Although I have lost weight, I am healthier.
"Running? Why are you running when you have nothing to do? You have lost so much weight." Su Daqiang looked at Su Mingcheng, "Mingcheng, make more delicious food and let Mingyu replenish it.
That little stone is unreliable.
He was the cook and he made Mingyu lose weight. "
Su Daqiang didn't give Shi Tiandong any face.
Su Daqiang is such a 'mean' person.
"Okay, Dad, I'll let Mingyu gain ten pounds in three days." Su Mingcheng agreed.
"Dad, look, I've lost weight too." Su Mingzhe interrupted.
"Don't tell me if you lose weight, go find your Wu Fei." Su Daqiang rolled his eyes.
"Then let Mingcheng cook and make up for me."
Everyone talked and laughed and went back to Taihu Villa together.
"Mom, this is for you." Su Mingyu brought a gift to Zhao Meilan.
Of course, there are others too.
"What gift are you bringing? It's so far away, don't be tired." The relationship between Zhao Meilan and Su Mingyu has improved a lot.
The two of them could talk and laugh together.
Go shopping and buy new year goods.
Decorate the villa together.
Su Mingyu and Shi Tiandong also went to the shore of Linhu Lake and decorated the place where Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan lived.
"cheers!"
"Second brother's craftsmanship is still so good." Su Mingyu praised.
"Xiao Shi's craftsmanship has improved, but the improvement is not obvious, and it is still not as good as Mingcheng." Shi Tiandong also cooks, but Su Daqiang feels that he is still not as good as Su Mingcheng.
"Xiao Shi, what are you busy with in Chou Country?"
"Mingyu, how many years until you graduate?"
"Mingzhe, how are you doing at the company?"
"Wu Fei, are you and the child fine?"
"Second brother, what investments have you made recently?"
"Second sister-in-law, how is the supermarket business? Where is the online store?"
"Mom, Dad, you guys"
Everyone talks endlessly about the shortcomings of the parents.
"Second brother, what's going on with Zhongcheng now?" After her free time, Su Mingyu still wanted to know about Zhongcheng's situation.
“Zhongcheng is still the same, nothing has changed.
However, Zhongcheng has always been profitable.
Zhongcheng laid off many people before.
The office building has also become an old office building.
Meng Zhiyuan had some skills and was able to maintain Zhongcheng. "
"Second brother, where are you in Nanxing? Have you developed new technologies recently?"
"High-end machine tools are being developed."
"Second brother, it's not that easy to develop high-end machine tools, right?"
"Of course it's not easy. However, Yang Cheng and the others performed well and have made some progress."
"It's good to make progress. Second brother, have you spent money on Nanxing again?"
"Yes, but I didn't spend much, just a few million dollars."
"Second brother, have you made money by investing again?"
"It's not bad. I've sold a few houses recently, and the companies I invested in before are also making good profits."
"Second brother, Bitcoin has been fluctuating. Do you want to sell it?"
"No rush, just wait."
"What about stocks? Second brother, what stocks have you invested in recently?"
"I haven't bought A shares recently, but I have bought some ugly stocks."
"Ugly stock? What ugly stock?"
"That's the one."
"Oh, I know, second brother, please help me buy some too."
"Okay. Little sister, when will you and Shi Tiandong get married?"
"Ah? Well, second brother, don't be in a hurry."
"Little sister, you are not young anymore.
The best age for childbearing is
You'd better not miss it.
You are definitely going to have a baby.
For the sake of your children, you should get married early. "Su Mingcheng talked about Su Mingyu's marriage and called Shi Tiandong over.
"Xiao Shi, what do you and Mingyu think? When will you get married?"
"This, second brother, I listen to Mingyu." Shi Tiandong listened more to Su Mingyu.
“In this case, why not get the certificate now.
We can make up for the wedding when we have time. "Su Mingcheng made the decision directly.
"Hey, second brother, you can't do this. Isn't this too hasty?" Su Mingyu was anxious.
"That's it, let's go, let's discuss it with our parents." Su Mingcheng acted vigorously and resolutely.
I told Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan about the marriage of Su Mingyu and Shi Tiandong.
"It's time to get married. Let's get the certificate first. Let me see which day is a good day." Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan also hope that Su Mingyu gets married soon.
"No!" Su Mingyu stopped.
Su Mingyu doesn't want to get married yet.
"I'll think about getting married after I graduate." Su Mingyu declined to get married now on the pretext that she was still in school.
Speaking of marriage, Shi Tiandong was asked about the house, car, and money.
"Well, I bought a small house before.
If you don’t have a car, you can buy it.
As for the deposit, it's not much, just "Shi Tiandong honestly told me his family background.
"That's it? Not as good as my Mingyu." Su Daqiang looked scornful, mocking Shi Tiandong.
"I will work hard in the future." Shi Tiandong was not angry. He had a relatively easy-going personality and promised Su Daqiang that he would work hard to make money. (End of chapter)
