Chapter 913 We Don’t Have the Habit of Being Second
December 20, Sunday, Beijing, heavy snow.
The first snow in 1987 came a little late, but it fell so thickly that when Liu Muhan came to Li Ye's house as a guest, Du Sisi complained incessantly.
"Phew, it's snowing so heavily! All the buses were stopped today, and there were not many people on the road. The old man in front of me fell down, and no one looked after him for a long time. I only helped him up when I got there."
Liu Muhan took off his boots while chatting with Wen Leyu.
There was snow inside the boots and the socks were wet. It was obvious that the snow outside was really thick.
"Come on, little Bao'er, let your aunt hug you!"
After Liu Muhan put on his slippers, he happily came over to hold the child.
The two children are already seven months old. They are fat, healthy, and babbling very cutely.
But today, as soon as Liu Muhan hugged Little Bao'er, Little Bao'er started to grin and struggled to break away and stretched out his arm to Li Ye.
"You're giving him a cold. Go to the heater to warm him up and drink him warm."
Li Ye hugged his son back and said, "Why are you here in such a hurry when there is so much snow on the road? If you catch a cold, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Gao won't blame me?"
"They won't blame you! You are the model for young talents in their hearts. You are perfect and can't find any faults."
Liu Muhan curled his lips, unpacked the luggage he had brought, and took out two things.
"This is venison sent to her by my mother's friend. My mother said it would be good to eat on a snowy day, so she urged me to bring it to you as soon as possible."
"My dad heard that you like calligraphy and painting, so he bought a pair of calligraphy and painting from an old friend and asked me to give it to you for appreciation."
"."
Li Ye looked at the gift Liu Muhan brought and couldn't help but said: "This is too polite! If I weren't very familiar with you, I would have thought you asked me to do something!"
Liu Muhan glanced sideways at Li Ye: "You haven't done enough for me yet? If it hadn't been for you this time, my deputy office would have been ruined."
Wen Leyu next to him smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out you have been promoted. Come over and share the joy with us!"
Liu Muhan said with a smile: "It's all thanks to your help, Xiaoyu! I originally thought it would be delayed for two years! But I couldn't help but finalized four introduction projects in a row. Our director said that I can't even justify not promoting me."
"."
After returning from Japan, Professor Zhao, Liu Muhan and Wen Leyu followed Li Ye's advice and started wholesale technology introduction, completely eliminating the negative impact caused by Liu Muhan's jump from the building due to Guo Huai.
Li Ye said with a smile: "Then you have to fawn over my wife. As long as she is willing, she can give you another level of sex next year."
"Really? Hey, my eldest nephew-in-law, you have to help me. Whether I can rise to the top depends entirely on you."
Liu Muhan fawned over Wen Leyu half-truthfully, and even hugged her arm affectionately.
Wen Leyu got rid of Liu Muhan in disgust, and said angrily, half-truthfully, "You are still on the way to Qingyun! I just made a little profit here, and now I have spent so much money, some people in our unit have given me a slap in the face." Call me, I'm a money-spreading boy."
"."
Wen Leyu has continued to invest in mainland manufacturing since last year. Because of Li Ye's strategy of occupying the market at low prices and building reputation, Laidong Diesel Engine and Changbei's gearboxes finally opened up sales and began to supply light truck manufacturers such as Jinbei and Yanpai, and the profit momentum good.
But compared with the speed of spending money, this speed of making money is obviously insufficient, and cannot be compared with many "high-quality businesses" in Zhongxin Company.
When Sino-Singapore was founded, it had the gold medal of "doing everything that state-owned enterprises don't do". All kinds of quick money were made so fast that manufacturing companies with heavy investment and slow return on capital couldn't catch up.
"Hehehe, I'm just kidding, Xiaoyu, don't listen to my eldest nephew's nonsense. I'm really satisfied this time. I can rest on my laurels with just these few projects, which is enough for me to live a healthy life."
Liu Muhan laughed and joked with Wen Leyu. She was always a person who knew how to advance and retreat. How could she let Wen Leyu continue to spend money next year?
When the favor becomes too big to be repaid, the relationship between the two parties will change.
But Li Ye said: "No, I talked to Professor Zhao yesterday. Next year we will increase the intensity of technology introduction and strive to introduce a complete set of industrial chains needed for modern automobile production."
"Intensify efforts to introduce?"
Now not only Liu Muhan was puzzled, but Wen Leyu was also a little surprised.
Wen Leyu must have supported Li Ye, but every time Li Ye listed the things that needed to be introduced to her, he was very well-planned. Now something suddenly changed, and she didn't understand the reason.
Li Ye breathed out and said: "Our trade relations with the West have become increasingly heated in the past two years, so I think we should take advantage of the opportunity to do more. After all, things are unpredictable, and opportunities must not be missed before they come again."
"."
"My eldest nephew, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by not missing the opportunity? Now our situation is getting better and better!"
Liu Muhan didn't understand what Li Ye said, but Li Ye couldn't explain it to her.
It will be 1988 soon, and the best time for relations between the Mainland and the West is still a little more than a year away. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed before it comes again.
After this period of time, not to mention many sensitive technologies, even slightly advanced technologies will be difficult to buy.
In just the past few years, Lighthouse has been promoting F-16 fighter jets to the mainland. Would you believe it a few decades later?
Although the Soviet Union in the north collapsed in four years, and the mainland also had a lot of opportunities to introduce technology, some things were still backward.
For example, fighter jets, the Soviet Union was the strongest in mathematics, so the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft they designed could be called art, but in other aspects, they were far behind the West.
Two thousand years later, the J11 and J10 in the mainland had been officially equipped, but in the air force's target shooting base, the air-to-air missile with the highest hit rate was neither the J11 nor the J10, but the criticized Eighth Master.
The reason was because of the "Peace Model Plan" between the mainland and the lighthouse.
This gap continued until the 2020s, and it was only caught up with the pursuit of several generations of aviation people in the flower-growing family.
When the J35A was unveiled at the air show and the engine spewed yellow flames, I don’t know how many technical men with white hair were moved to tears.
. . . . . . . . .
In the afternoon, Liu Muhan went back.
Wen Leyu then quietly asked Li Ye: "You said today that the opportunity is rare, did you notice anything unusual?"
Because Fu Guiru made a lot of money in the Black Monday of Dengta Stock Market, Wen Leyu now began to "worship" Li Ye, so she thought that all of Li Ye's abnormal behaviors might be "anticipating the enemy's moves".
Li Ye thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I didn't notice any abnormalities, but I analyzed a little bit of truth based on history.
The people of Dengta don't understand us, and think that if the relationship is good, we are a good follower, but the mainland is too big, once it starts to develop rapidly, some intentions cannot be concealed
Think about Liu Bang, think about Gou Jian.
We, the flower-growing family, have not had the habit of being the second in the past five thousand years."
"The second?"
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye in surprise, and began to appreciate the meaning of this "second" in his heart.
At this time in 1987, the world powers are still everywhere! No matter how you count, the flower-growing family doesn't seem to be the second!
