Lao Kang and Xiao Lu come from economically developed areas, and their economic concepts are more advanced than other places. Travelers have experienced the 21st century when the market economy is prevalent, and of course they know what the two guests mean. They just want Fang Hanmin's technology and Service is reflected in value.
But time travelers do not want their 21st century pharmaceutical technology knowledge to become a pure profit-making tool. Fang Hanmin has contributed two brand-new process technologies to Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, reviving two categories of old products. , but he did not receive additional economic benefits other than his normal salary income.
In addition, Fang Hanmin also provided Haihua Pharmaceutical Factory with a process improvement plan for existing products. The other party promised him a certain amount of remuneration. Fang Hanmin declined the good intentions of several leaders of Haihua Pharmaceutical Factory.
Facing the concerns of the two guests, Fang Hanmin pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Mr. Kang, Manager Lu, what kind of cooperation are you talking about?"
Lao Kang and Xiao Lu looked at each other. Doesn't Section Chief Fang know that his skills are valuable? "Chief Fang, we want you to help us with the process transformation of old products. Are you willing to let us buy out your technology at once, or cooperate with us in the form of technology shares?"
"Oh, you want to use money to buy my technology?"
"What, Section Chief Fang doesn't want to sell the process technology to us?"
"Mr. Kang, Manager Lu, I'm sorry, my skills are not for sale."
Lao Kang and Xiao Lu's eyes widened in surprise, "What? Your technology is not for sale? What do you want to do? Section Chief Fang, just now you said that you would help us transform the existing products. Have you regretted it?"
Fang Hanmin raised his glass, "Mr. Kang, Manager Lu, let's drink a toast!"
The two guests were indifferent, "Chief Fang, do you regret what you promised just now?"
"What did I regret? Did I say anything that I regretted?" Fang Hanmin put down his wine glass.
"Chief Fang, you just said that your technology is not for sale. Since you don't sell your technology, there is no possibility of cooperation between us. Doesn't this mean that you are going back on your word?"
"Ouch, where did you go? I said my skills are not for sale, and I didn't say I won't make technological improvements for your old products!"
"Chief Fang, you..." Lao Kang and Xiao Lu were doubtful, "Chief Fang, we don't understand what you mean."
"What don't you understand? Isn't my meaning clear enough?"
Lao Kang and Xiao Lu asked cautiously: "Chief Fang, what do you mean, you don't want to pay for helping us with the process modification?"
Fang Hanmin said calmly: "I volunteer to help you with the process modification, regardless of remuneration."
"Chief Fang, this is not appropriate, not in any way!" Lao Kang and Xiao Lu felt incredible.
"Mr. Kang, Manager Lu, are you unwilling to make technological improvements on the company's old products?"
The two customers hurriedly clarified: "Yes, yes! We are just saying that we are really sorry if you do process modifications for our products without talking about remuneration!"
"That's enough!" Fang Hanmin raised his glass again, "Come on, let me respect you two!"
Putting down the cup, Lao Kang said seriously: "Through these years of hard work in the enterprise, we deeply feel the importance of science and technology as the primary productive force. Chief Fang, you have dedicated your technology for free. This This move is hard for us to understand!”
Fang Hanmin smiled and said, "People's pursuits are different. Some people put money first, but not everyone puts money first. I am not that noble. Money is a good thing. I also need money. Last year, I I only paid off the debt I borrowed to build a house in my hometown last month. However, apart from these, some people have other pursuits in their lives. In a diversified society, there are all kinds of people. Mr. Kang should not feel guilty about this. strangeness."
Manager Lu said meaningfully: "We are all colleagues in the industry. If Section Chief Fang cooperates with us, the future will be long. It will not happen overnight."
Fang Hanmin immediately asked the two guests for relevant information on San Miguel Pharmaceuticals' existing products and promised to take the time to develop a process improvement plan for them. Because this business does not fall within the scope of work of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, Fang Hanmin can only use Sundays and holidays to do this work. He told the other party that the time may take a little longer.
The two leaders of San Miguel Pharmaceuticals were overjoyed to receive free technical help from Fang Hanmin, and they were satisfied even if it took a little longer. This time, they contacted Fang Hanmin. Although they failed to convince him to change jobs, they established a cooperative relationship with Fang Hanmin, and Lao Kang and Xiao Lu returned home with great success.
...
At around ten o'clock in the morning on the weekend, Fang Hanmin received a call from his girlfriend Song Yuping from his hometown town, saying that she was bored at home and wanted to go to the city for a few days.
Fang Hanmin was of course happy, "I told you when we met some time ago that as long as you don't want to stay at home, you can come to the city to play at any time. This week happens to be a weekend and tomorrow is Saturday. When will you arrive? I'll go early. I’ll pick you up at the station.”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Hanmin immediately called the office number of Xiao Min, the attendance officer in the second workshop, and asked her to borrow the dormitory again, "I'm sorry, my schoolmate wants to stay in the city for a few more days. This time it may cost more." Borrow it for a few days.”
"Isn't it the same one from last time? What kind of alumnus? That's obviously your girlfriend! How old are you? Isn't it normal to have a girlfriend? Why do you have to be so coy? In order to support the older young man Fang Hanmin to solve his personal problems as soon as possible, I voluntarily lend my dormitory to that beauty, and I can stay there for as many days as she wants." Xiao Min joked.
"Whatever you say, but you don't need to change new sheets this time." After returning from his hometown last time, Fang Hanmin bought new sheets and was already prepared for it.
"Are you afraid that I'll disturb you? You really didn't mean it last time."
"It's not like we are shady, so what are we afraid of? You didn't bother us last time. I won't let you change new sheets this time because I have already prepared them so as not to trouble you."
"Okay, I'll give you the key before I get off work."
Before ten o'clock the next morning, Fang Hanmin came to the exit of the long-distance bus station and waited. At about 10:40, Song Yuping walked out with some luggage. Today, she was wearing the long dress she bought last time that was not suitable for her profession as a teacher. Her hair had also grown a lot, making her look casual and elegant.
Fang Hanmin took the luggage and asked with concern: "Yuping, what time did you set off in the morning?"
"I set off from home at six o'clock. There are many people taking the bus on weekends. I waited at the roadside station for two buses but didn't get on, otherwise I would have arrived early."
"Leaving at six o'clock? Then you must not have had breakfast. Let's go and eat first."
"What time is it? Is it breakfast or lunch now?"
"It's almost eleven o'clock, of course it's lunch."...
After twelve o'clock at noon, Fang Hanmin took Song Yuping back to the dormitory for single employees. He took out the key and opened the door. Song Yuping was still impressed by the furnishings inside, "Is this the dormitory I borrowed from your female colleague again?"
"Because I'm familiar with her, she usually doesn't live in the dormitory, so it's best to borrow it from her."
Song Yuping said with a smile: "She won't come to help me change the sheets again, will she?"
"I told her that I had prepared all this in advance, and these sheets are new ones. In fact, she was really kind last time."
"I know she means well, so I want to express my gratitude to her. I'm going to stay here for a few more days this time, so why don't I treat her to a meal one day?"
Fang Hanmin hesitated, "Is it necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary! Not only did I borrow her dormitory last time, she also put on new sheets for me. This time I borrowed the dormitory for a longer period of time. I bothered her again and again and bought her gifts. I don't know what she likes. I think I should treat her to a meal."
"I didn't expect you to be much more considerate than me when it comes to social etiquette. Okay, I'll make an appointment with her in two days and tell her that my teacher Song Yuping wants to get to know her."
Song Yuping pushed Fang Hanmin, "Fuck you! Who is your family? However, your reason is very legitimate, otherwise, she may not agree."
Early August is the hottest season of the year. It's noon and the sun is blazing outside. Fang Hanmin suggested resting in the dormitory first and then going out shopping in the evening. He brought a floor-standing electric fan from his dormitory and a basin of water, "Yuping, you have been riding for two hours and the weather is hot. Wash your face and rest for a while. The sheets have been changed."
"Give me the electric fan. Isn't your dormitory still very hot?"
“It’s okay, I have a desktop fan there.”…
In the evening, the scorching sun finally hid below the horizon, and the outdoor temperature dropped by at least three or four degrees. Fang Hanmin and Song Yuping took the bus to the city center, and found a restaurant for dinner.
At night, when the lanterns are turned on, both sides of the street are colorful. After dinner, Fang Hanmin and Song Yuping were walking on the sidewalk. He asked, "Yuping, would you rather watch a movie, go shopping, or go to the central square to watch the night view?"
"The weather is too hot, and the movie theater is probably not very cool, so don't watch the movie. You don't like shopping in shopping malls, so I'll go shopping by myself after you go to work next week. I think we might as well go to the city center square and enjoy the cool air. While watching the night view of the city.”
The central square is a landscape in Shuangling City. It is an open area. There are not only musical fountains, but also various spontaneous performances by citizens. Of course, there are also businesses buying handicrafts. Especially at night in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, the square A large number of citizens gathered on the street, which was even more lively than during the day.
After passing two blocks, they arrived at the central square. Fang Hanmin and Song Yuping stopped next to the musical fountain, enjoying the music and watching the unpredictable shape of the water column.
Walking forward for more than ten meters, there was a small handicraft market. Song Yuping wandered around more than a dozen jade stalls and walked back and forth twice. She seemed to be very interested in jade pendants. After asking and negotiating the price, she chose a pair of jade pendants. .
Fang Hanmin pulled Song Yuping's arm from the side, "Do you want to buy this?"
"yes."
"Why buy it?"
"Wear it around your neck, one pair, one for each of us."
"I don't like it. What's the point of wearing this thing?" Fang Hanmin has never been interested in these things.
"Keep him safe," Song Yuping said nonchalantly.
"Nonsense! Can wearing this thing keep you safe? Yuping, you are a college graduate, do you believe this?"
While talking, Song Yuping had already paid the money, "How can I believe it or not? This thing is not expensive, just wear it and play with it. Take it, I'll give you one."
"I don't want it. You bought it, so you can take it with you. I'm a dialectical materialist, so I don't believe in these things." Fang Hanmin dodged with a smile.
"Fang Hanmin, you are good at everything, but you like to be more realistic. In fact, I have the same view as you. What role can a jade pendant play? Just use it as a gadget." After saying that, Song Yuping took the jade pendant. The string was tied around his neck.
After finally meeting each other, Fang Hanmin didn't want to spoil Song Yuping's happiness because of this trivial matter. He reluctantly took the jade pendant from Song Yuping's hand and put it into his trouser pocket.
"Why don't you put it on?"
"There is sweat on my neck and it is uncomfortable to wear."
Song Yuping shook her head. Through this little incident, she finally understood Fang Hanmin's stubbornness. But Song Yuping had read a lot of books and knew a lot about people with various personalities. She didn't think this was Fang Hanmin's shortcoming.
