Chapter 550: Is it that now that she has money, she looks down on me?
While living in Kyoto, Zhou Rong kept in touch with Xu Hanhua via mobile phone.
Due to the small number of base stations, the signal for mobile phones is very poor, and the call quality is not clear and stable. You often have to shout loudly for the other party to hear you. Sometimes, when the communication is going well, the signal will suddenly be interrupted.
Zhou Rong often complained to Zhou Jifan that the "big brother" was expensive, bulky, had poor signal, and was not practical at all.
After obtaining Zhou Rong's consent, Zhou Jifan dismantled the "big brother" and observed the structure inside, hoping to develop a thin and light version on his own.
He wrote down all the things he didn't understand in a notebook and then went to ask the teacher.
It is easy to dismantle a mobile phone, but it is difficult to restore it. Zhou Jifan fiddled with it for a long time and could only barely put all the parts together, but the phone could no longer be used.
Zhou Rong simply donated this "big brother" to Zhou Jifan's class, so that everyone could be inspired by foreign advanced technology and thus promote the progress of related industries in our country.
At present, influenced by the idea of "it is better to buy than to make, and it is better to rent than to buy", the focus of my country's economic development is still mainly concentrated in the field of heavy industry, exchanging markets for technology and introducing a large number of foreign equipment.
Independently innovative enterprises were weaned off or shut down, including large aircraft, nuclear submarines, and semiconductor industries.
If possible, Zhou Rong hopes to contribute to the country's scientific and technological development within her ability...
Zhou Jifan felt very guilty for breaking his mobile phone worth tens of thousands of dollars. He vowed to develop a thin and durable mobile phone and compensate Zhou Rong.
Whenever he had free time, he would bring a few like-minded classmates and teachers to the laboratory to do research together.
Because some components of mobile phones, especially chips, cannot be produced domestically, under the guidance of Zhou Rong, Zhou Jifan decided to develop chips first.
In 66, my country successfully developed the first Type 65 contact lithography machine in domestic history; in 78, it entered the research and development of proximity lithography machines and successfully developed the model JKG-1981 in 3.
In 1985, the first distributed lithography machine in China, BG-101, was successfully developed and manufactured. In the same year, the first scanning projection lithography machine in my country also passed the appraisal.
With the achievements of their predecessors as a foundation, Zhou Rong believed that as long as Zhou Jifan and his team did not give up and had sufficient financial support, they would definitely succeed.
In order to support Zhou Jifan, Zhou Rong accelerated his pace of making money.
Zhou Rong contacted Xu Hanhua by landline and asked him to take people to Qiongdao and Pudong in Shanghai to buy a lot of land so that they could seize the opportunity after the new policy was introduced...
Xu Hanhua thought Zhou Rong had obtained some inside information, so after arranging the work in Pengcheng, he took his assistant to Qiongdao and Modu.
Since March this year, the Dow Jones Index has been rising all the way. By the end of the year, the money Zhou Rong and his colleagues invested in the stock market had doubled.
Zhou Rong contacted Xu Hanhua and asked him if he would return to Jiangcheng for the New Year.
Xu Hanhua said that he would return with his wife and children after he finished dealing with the land in Pudong.
Zhou Rong asked him to bring 20 yuan in cash and attend his own "dividend meeting" as a partner.
Xu Hanhua immediately understood what Zhou Rong meant and said that he would definitely be prepared.
In mid-January of 87, Zhou Jifan went back to Jiangcheng with Zhou Rong during the winter vacation.
January 1th (the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month) is Sunday.
Zhou Rong printed a batch of invitation letters in advance and sent them by mail to all those who had invested money in her, inviting them to gather at Zhenhua International Hotel on January 1.
Those who received the invitation letters didn't understand why Zhou Rong was inviting everyone to dinner again. Just like last year, they dressed up and brought red envelopes just in case.
In order to prevent anyone from coming to "eat for free", Zhou Rong asked the hotel to set up a sign-in desk outside the venue she booked and provided a list. People not on the list were not allowed to enter.
Those who did not contribute money heard that there would be another banquet, so they came with their family elders.
Zhenhua International Hotel is a five-star hotel. Any meal here would cost hundreds of dollars. Even if Zhou Rong's family is having a wedding, they would definitely make a profit by giving a gift of one or two dollars.
By spending a small amount of money, you can not only have a high-quality meal, but also show off to your colleagues when you return to the factory. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
They had eaten two meals in this hotel before, and some colleagues are still envious of them!
But when they arrived at the venue, they were stopped outside because their names were not on the sign-in list and the hotel staff refused to let them in no matter what.
Several people made a big fuss at the entrance of the venue, saying that they were relatives of the host family and were invited, so why couldn't they come in? They also cursed the waiter for being ungrateful and blind, etc.
Zhou Rong heard the noise and learned the reason. He said in a cold voice, "I provided the sign-in list. It was also my decision that people not on the list were not allowed to enter the venue. They are just doing what I told them to do. What qualifications do you have to cause trouble for them?"
Huang Li, Zhou Jiafeng's granddaughter-in-law, said unhappily: "Aunt, we are from the eldest house. We have met several times before. Don't you remember?"
Zhou Rong glanced at her and said mercilessly: "There are too many people who call me aunt, I have no impression.
Only those who invested in me last year can attend today's banquet. We have important matters to discuss, so outsiders are not allowed to enter. Those whose names are not on the list, please leave on your own to avoid hurting the relationship."
Huang Li looked at her parents-in-law and Zhou Jiafeng angrily, hoping that they would help her speak up so that she could enter the venue smoothly.
Zhou Jiafeng glanced at her and said unhappily, "Go back and stop embarrassing yourself here. You and Ji Yan should not show up at any family gatherings in the future."
Huang Li felt that her face was completely lost, and she burst into tears of grievance and ran out with her face covered. Zhou Jiyan saw that his grandfather had started to chase her away, and it was meaningless to stay any longer, so he had to chase Huang Li.
The other people who were not on the list, seeing Zhou Rong's tough attitude, felt that if they stayed any longer, they would lose all their dignity and could only leave in disappointment.
They don’t understand why the aunt/grandmother who used to be so easy to talk to suddenly turned so cruel?
Could it be that she looks down on me now that she has money?
After everyone arrived, Zhou Rong first introduced Xu Hanhua's identity, and then listed several projects he had invested in Pengcheng and Hong Kong.
Zhou Rong: "Thanks to Mr. Xu's good leadership, the team's tacit cooperation, the prosperity of the market, and everyone's trust, several projects we invested in have achieved good returns this year. After deducting various expenses, the profit is 70%.
It’s the end of the year, we’ll report the accounts to everyone and divide up this year’s earnings so that everyone can have a happy and festive year.”
The 20 yuan in cash that Xu Hanhua brought back was all piled up on a large table in front of the podium, like a small mountain, giving everyone a great visual impact.
It turns out that Darong/Aunt/Grandma really meant what she said about helping them make money...
