Chapter 536 Who Is the Villain?

Master Ni frowned and began to think.

It was already a little hot in May in Beijing, but the sweat on his head was definitely not because of the hot weather.

Li Ye looked at Master Ni quietly, waiting for his next reaction.

He now needed to determine whether Master Ni would ignore the agreement signed with Hong Kong Island for the benefit of the Computer Institute, abandon the investors and cooperate with the subordinate enterprises of the post and telecommunications system.

Although Master Ni was highly regarded in later generations, the factories under the Computer Institute and the Post and Telecommunications represented the collective interests.

In the hearts of most people like Master Ni, national interests must be the first priority, and they are very firm.

This is also one of the reasons why many Chinese senior executives in the West in later generations could not beat Indian senior executives.

No matter how much salary you get or how many awards you get, when the mainland "officially" calls you, the sense of honor hidden in the blood of many people may be activated.

But Indian senior executives do not have this hidden attribute. The belief of "learning well and serving the country" does not exist for most of them.

Similarly, another part of Run people, in order to gain the trust of the West, tried to discredit their hometown by cutting off their own back, but in the end, it might not be useful.

Faith is a very magical thing. You think you don't have it, but you may not have it, and people don't believe it.

After thinking for a while, Master Ni finally asked: "Student Li Ye, are you sure that our research results have been leaked?"

Li Ye shook his head slowly and replied calmly: "I am just guessing and worrying, but the Fourth Post and Telecommunications Factory has indeed applied for a research project on program-controlled switches, and has made breakthrough progress. According to gossip, the research results come from you."

"Huh~"

Master Ni exhaled a long breath, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then he looked at Li Ye and said: "Student Li Ye, our research results have not been leaked, and they will never be leaked."

"."

Master Ni said it very seriously.

The last time Li Ye talked with Master Ni in the corridor, they left each other contact information. At that time, Li Ye felt that Master Ni regarded him as a "messenger".

So Li Ye understood that Master Ni was not speaking to him, but to the Hong Kong investors.

Li Ye nodded slowly and said nothing more. There was no need to be too serious about verbal assurances. The final result would reveal the truth of the matter.

But Master Ni suddenly said, "Our research has reached a critical stage. We will be preparing for the final test in the next few days. Do you think the betting bonus from Hong Kong Island is okay?"

"."

Master Ni had worked in overseas companies before. He must have known that this kind of scientific research needed to be kept confidential and that the research progress could not be disclosed to the outside world. But he told Li Ye now.

Li Ye smiled slightly.

"As far as I know, Mr. Pei Wencong has never had the habit of breaking contracts, and the Hong Kong Island side will come to check the research progress the day after tomorrow."

"That's good," Master Ni nodded and said, "I believe this is a milestone cooperation. Our current scientific research model in the mainland is relatively single. I hope that more people like Mr. Pei can come to the mainland to invest in scientific research and technology in the future."

Li Ye understood.

Master Ni has a long-term vision. Not only is the research funding in the mainland tight, but the approval process also requires layers of procedures. Therefore, if Pei Wencong suddenly appears and can set an example, there will be an important source of research funding.

If more businessmen like Pei Wencong who are generous and patriotic come to cooperate, then researchers like Master Ni will feel more comfortable at work and have more research results.

That's why Master Ni was sweating on his forehead just now. If the cooperation with Hong Kong Island becomes a one-time deal and the reputation is ruined, then it will be more than just a deal that will be ruined?

What will be ruined is the reputation of countless researchers in the mainland and the possibility of "changing" the rules.

So, who is wielding the "short-sighted" hammer this time?

. . . . . . . . .

The next morning, Master Ni arrived at the unit five minutes early, and then found that Liu Lianxiang had arrived early with two people from other units.

Not only did they arrive early, they also opened the cabinet where the experimental samples of the programmable switch were stored.

Master Ni's face suddenly darkened.

"Old Liu, why did you open the cabinet? What are you doing?"

There are only two people who have the key to this cabinet, one is Master Ni and the other is Liu Lianxiang. The two have agreed that the things inside must not be shown to outsiders.

But Liu Lianxiang's face is uglier than Master Ni's.

"Why are you still asking me? Old Ni, what happened to our trial samples? They were just successfully tested yesterday, but now they are all a pile of parts? And what about the experimental data? Why did they disappear?"

Master Ni glanced at Liu Lianxiang and said indifferently: "Last night I suddenly had some technical improvement ideas, so I dismantled the samples. As for the experimental data, I locked it in another cabinet."

"You are talking nonsense."

Liu Lianxiang scolded angrily, but because there were outsiders around him, he suppressed his anger and said: "Hurry up and organize people to assemble and restore the samples, and then give me the experimental data."

Master Ni's eyes condensed, and he looked at the other two people fiercely.

"Old Liu, I will give you the experimental data, who are you going to give it to?"

"This program-controlled switchboard is the hard work of twelve of us and the hope of twelve families. Who are you going to hand it over to?"

"."

Liu Lenovo's face became very ugly. He couldn't imagine how the usually gentle and gentle Master Ni could be so "ignorant" today.

Didn't you see any outsiders present? Where can I put the face of the top leader in my unit?

The two people from outside the unit also frowned, and then said to Liu Lianglian: "Let's go out for a while, and you can discuss it among yourselves first."

"Hey, Director Jiao, please wait a moment. I'll be ready right here. It will take a few minutes at most. Xiao Liu, please make two cups of tea."

Liu Lenovo called someone over and arranged the two guests to the reception room.

Then he closed the door and turned back to look at Dashen Ni angrily: "Old Ni, did you do it on purpose? I begged my grandfather and grandma everywhere, and finally found an OEM unit. You have to mess with me, right? ?”

Dashen Ni's eyes were complicated and he said disappointedly: "Lao Liu, a few days ago you told me that you wanted to swallow up Hong Kong's research results. I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you to actually do it.

While we haven't done anything wrong yet, it's time to step back from the cliff. Breaking the promise or breaking the contract won't bring us any benefits? "

"No, I will bring great benefits to everyone,"

Liu Leanliang said proudly: "We design ourselves, entrust units to produce by ourselves, and sell by ourselves. It only takes one year to produce a value of over 10 million. I am loyal to the collective. What do you think is wrong?"

Dashen Ni said in shock: "Lao Liu, do you know what commissioned research and development is? This research result is not ours, it belongs to Hong Kong. We have signed a contract with Hong Kong. If we break the contract, we will all be sued."

"I'll be sued and I'll be squatted. It has nothing to do with you, Lao Ni. I'd rather be cut off than let the collective interests flow out into the pockets of the capitalists."

"."

Liu Lenovo waved his hands angrily while making an impassioned speech. If an outsider had seen it, they would have thought that he was a righteous and positive figure, while Dashen Ni was the despicable and shameless villain.

Master Ni was stunned for a long time, and then said sadly: "Old Liu, how can you be so short-sighted? Hong Kong Island is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated."

"Am I short-sighted?" Liu Lenovo looked at Dashen Ni with contempt and said with a smile: "I'm afraid some people are used to drinking foreign ink and have forgotten the color of their hearts, right?

The results we have worked so hard to develop are worth tens of millions, but you want to give them to others for three melons and two dates. What are your intentions? "

"."

Dashen Ni seemed to be struck by five thunders, and his ears were filled with a buzzing roar.

During this period of time, he and his colleagues worked hard on research and development for the gambling bonus, but why did he end up with "what was his intention" later?

If what was your intention, why did you come back from overseas in the first place?

Dashen Ni's look of being in a trance made Liu Lenovo even more convinced that he was the "discerning person" of the unit and that he was the mainstay of the unit.

"Think carefully, Lao Liu, the situation at home is different from overseas. Since you are back, you have to do as the locals do and adapt to the environment and ways of doing things here."

Liu Lenovo spoke to Dashen Ni in a gentle tone, then opened the door and shouted outside: "Xiao Zhang, bring two people over and assemble this trial sample immediately."

Master Ni looked at Liu Lenovo coldly and did not stop him.

After he got the news about Li Ye last night, he came over and did some tricks. Now no one except him can restore the sample.

[I don’t know how long the quarrel will last, ugh~]

Master Ni was thinking about how Liu Lenovo would attack him later when he found out that the sample had been tampered with, but Xiao Zhang from outside hurried in.

"Manager Liu, we just got a call from Hong Kong Island."

"Oh, is there a call from Hong Kong Island?"

Liu Lenovo frowned and raised his feet to go out to pick her up.

But Xiao Zhang said: "They said a few words and then hung up. They didn't ask me to inform you at all."

Liu Lenovo was stunned and asked, "What did they say?"

Xiao Zhang said calmly: "They said they would send a technical team over tomorrow to check our research progress."

"."

Liu Lenovo suddenly turned around, gritted his teeth and said, "Old Ni, you called them here, right?"

After a long time, only Liu Lenovo and Ni Dashen were left in the office.

"Old Ni, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You would actually use the power of Hong Kong to deal with us colleagues and brothers. What promises did they give you?"

"I was not given any promises. I was just fulfilling my responsibilities as agreed. Listen to me, Lao Liu, this is our first time cooperating with Hong Kong. From now on."

"You don't need to explain," Liu Lenovo said coldly, "I just want to tell you that it's hard for foreigners to work in the mainland.

The program-controlled switches will eventually need to be supplied to the postal and telecommunications departments. I can guarantee that if they cannot make this deal, no one will buy their program-controlled switches. "

"And I can also tell you that millions of dollars in betting prizes cannot be lost."

"."

Master Ni's eyes gradually dimmed.

He knew that what Lao Liu said was true. It was difficult to do something in the mainland because many joints needed to be opened.

But it's easy to break something. It only takes one or two joints to jam you for three to five years, which can drag you down until you lose your temper and finally have to compromise.

“But is this way of doing things really conducive to the development of technology?”
