Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

As for its fixed office location, it is located on a rented floor in the Yangtze River Industrial Building.

The place was cramped and what was worse was that there was a noisy workshop next door, and the deafening noise could be heard all day long.

"Do we have to move our residence here as well?" Huang Zhirou asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Let's move here for now. After the industrial building in Wan Chai is completed, I will move back to the original place." He Yuzhu responded calmly.

In fact, almost every industrial building he led the construction of adopted a similar layout: there were shops on the ground floor and one floor of offices; while the top floor was planned for residences and offices.

Although He Yuzhu himself will not live in these penthouses, they can be distributed as benefits to the company's senior management.

In addition, each building must be equipped with a corresponding management team. Usually, these personnel will choose to work on the top floor, and the remaining area can be rented out.

Huang Zhirou nodded slightly to show that she understood, and wrote down He Yuzhu's instructions in detail one by one.

In fact, before this, He Yuzhu had thought about producing ballpoint pens. However, this technology was too advanced and sophisticated for him at the time, which made him hesitate.

You have to understand that even in our country, it was not until the 21st century that we successfully developed the technology that could be used to produce ballpoint pen rollers!

But it is only 61 years now. If He Yuzhu really intends to get involved in this field, he has no idea where to start.

Because of this, some time ago he only tinkered with things like instant noodles and sausages, and applied for patents for them.

However, at present, the whole process is still in progress.

At this moment, when he saw the ballpoint pen in front of him again, the thought that had originally died down in his heart suddenly burned like a flame.

Before this, since he was in Beijing, it was extremely difficult for him to go abroad, so he had to give up the idea.

But the situation is very different now. After all, he is already in Hong Kong, and it is relatively more convenient for him to travel to any corner of the world.

Regardless of whether I can successfully produce it in the end, it won't be wrong to at least register the patent for the pen refill first, right?

After the matter is accomplished, it would be a wise decision to look for partners with this patent in hand.

"Thank you so much, this is definitely the most precious and wonderful gift I have ever received!"

"As long as you really like it, I will be satisfied."

He Yuzhu smiled and put down the ballpoint pen he was holding tightly in his hand, then walked out of the house side by side with Liao Lieying, ready to go watch the opera performance.

Having said that, at this time, industries such as film and television are not particularly prosperous, but in Hong Kong, people's love for opera remains high.

However, what is popular here is not the traditional Peking Opera, but the unique Cantonese Opera.

In stark contrast to the situation in later generations where cinemas could be found everywhere, at that time, there were theaters everywhere.

He Yuzhu himself actually doesn't have much affection for these theaters, but his girlfriend has a special liking for opera, so as a boyfriend, he has no choice but to accompany her reluctantly.

After listening to the play, the two returned to the office together, and He Yuzhu immediately called his assistant Huang Zhiru into the room.

"Xiao Zhi, I want to tell you something."

He Yuzhu sat at his desk and said seriously,

"Go to the market and buy one of each brand and style of ballpoint pen as a sample and bring it back. At the same time, collect as much relevant information as possible about the ballpoint pen industry."

Huang Zhiru couldn't help feeling a little bewildered when she heard this sudden task, but out of professionalism, she nodded obediently and said:

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away." After saying that, he turned and left the office.

Prior to this, He Yuzhu had successfully applied for patents for instant noodles and sausages, so he was already familiar with the entire patent application process.

When faced with the patent application for ballpoint pens and their refills, he followed the same pattern and methodically carried out all preparations according to the previous format.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Huang Zhiru finally handed over the information she had painstakingly compiled to He Yuzhu, along with a detailed report.

It turns out that as early as the 30s, when the ballpoint pen was first introduced, its related technology had already been patented.

However, most of the patents applied for at that time were design patents, which are usually valid for only ten years; while patents involving inventions and creations have a protection period of up to twenty years.

Today, those patents for ballpoint pen tips have long expired, meaning anyone can freely use the technology.

The ballpoint pen company run by Renault holds patents for appearance design, and these are exactly what He Yuzhu is seeing in front of him at this moment.

These ballpoint pens look like carefully crafted works of art, with various and bizarre shapes.

Among them are not only the majestic and solemn images of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, but also the graceful figures of the gods from Western mythology;

There are vivid reproductions of famous figures in history, as well as various lifelike animal forms and other strange styles.

All in all, each ballpoint pen is a work of exquisite sculpture.

These ballpoint pens are not only extremely exquisite in appearance, but also staggeringly expensive, completely high-end and luxurious.

For the general public, such an expensive price is simply astronomical and they simply cannot afford such high consumption.

At this time, He Yuzhu had already carefully filled out the patent application form.

Afterwards, he immediately sent the form to Hong Chenpei, the director of the legal department of Liao Chong Hing Bank, and as usual, entrusted this professional to handle the patent application on his behalf.

After this matter was properly handled, He Yuzhu was finally able to temporarily free himself from the busy affairs and enjoy a moment of leisure time.

However, it wasn't long before he suddenly realized that he still had something important to accomplish.

It turned out that Pan Qun had previously instructed He Yuzhu to keep a close eye on Jimmy Trading Company's every move and try to properly deal with the mysterious master of Hua Jin who worked under the trading company.

Because the attack on the newspaper was planned and led by this person.

Therefore, He Yuzhu had long harbored murderous intentions towards this enemy and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, Pan Qun particularly emphasized that he hoped He Yuzhu could solve this problem through other clever and covert means. The most crucial point is that Jimmy Trading Company must not be aware of any connection between this matter and the newspaper.

I have been so busy with various affairs recently that I have no time at all.

It was not until now that He Yuzhu finally had some free time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to drive to Jimmy's Trading Company in Wan Chai.

The location of this Jimmy Trading Company is relatively remote, far away from the newspaper office, and is completely outside the territory that He Yuzhu had worked so hard to build.

Come to think of it, this was his first time to set foot here! After arriving at the destination, He Yuzhu stopped the car steadily and walked into the store.

The store is not very big, but it is filled with all kinds of radios. In addition to the finished radios displayed in prominent positions, you can also see a lot of spare parts samples in the corners.

Looking back on my time in Beijing, the radios I came into contact with were basically all old-fashioned models that used vacuum tube technology.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

In comparison, transistor radios are really rare!

Moreover, those tube radios were incredibly large, which was a world of difference from the small, exquisite and lovely radios in front of us.

Not only have the sizes of these radios placed on the counters become very small, but even the materials of their casings have changed significantly.

The wooden shell that was common in the past has disappeared, and it has been replaced by a new shell that is carefully made of plastic as the main material.

The larger ones are about the size of an ordinary book; some of the most miniature models are only as big as an adult's palm.

Just then, a clerk came up to me enthusiastically and asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, sir, what would you like to order?"

He Yuzhu picked up a radio, looked at it with interest, and asked:

"How much is this radio?"

Upon seeing this, the clerk immediately started to explain in detail: "All the radios in our store come from faraway America! The prices are generally around hundreds of Hong Kong dollars!"

Hearing this offer, He Yuzhu frowned slightly, then pointed at the spare parts in the corner and asked curiously:

"Why do you sell these parts here?"

"We are mainly engaged in wholesale business here. A considerable number of factories choose to obtain parts from us for product assembly!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was stunned, thinking to himself, it turns out that it is possible to directly purchase parts and assemble them in this way! He then said:

"Could you please tell me more about this assembly?"

The clerk cleared his throat and began to narrate:

"The truth is... Although the monthly salary of workers in Hong Kong is as high as 200 Hong Kong dollars, it is much higher than that in the mainland. However, compared with the salary level in the United States, it is simply a drop in the bucket! For example, our Jimmy Company usually imports all kinds of required parts from the United States, and then entrusts them to the factories here to complete the assembly work. Finally, we purchase them and sell them to the outside world."

After listening to this explanation, He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"You just mentioned that all these things are imported. Aren't they all assembled locally?"

Hearing this, the clerk's expression instantly became a little unnatural. He smiled awkwardly and responded hesitantly:

"Uh... yeah, yes, these parts are indeed manufactured in America, but they are just assembled and welded here."

He Yuzhu didn't say anything more when he saw this, but just asked a new question:

"Then may I ask, is it impossible to produce these parts ourselves in Hong Kong?"

The clerk shook his head helplessly and replied:

"Alas, it's because we lack the relevant advanced production technology here!"

He Yuzhu asked again:

"I would like to ask, is your store simply a wholesaler of parts? Do you have the relevant technology to produce these parts that can be transferred?"

The clerk shook his head and replied:

"I'm sorry, sir. We only have spare parts wholesale business here. We don't have the technology to produce spare parts that we can transfer to you."

After hearing this answer, He Yuzhu did not give up and asked again:

"So, is your boss in the store now?"

After obtaining accurate information, He Yuzhu asked the clerk without hesitation to meet the boss in person.

The clerk hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned and walked toward the back of the store, apparently to report the situation to his superiors.

Not long after, the clerk came back and respectfully invited He Yuzhu into the inner room.

In fact, He Yuzhu's visit to this business was not just to buy parts or obtain production technology, he also had another unknown purpose.

However, when he learned that the other party was running a radio business here, he couldn't help but feel moved. He secretly thought that perhaps he should have a good contact and communication with him to understand the ins and outs of it and see if it would be possible for him to also get involved in the radio manufacturing field.

After all, compared with the traditional machinery industry, although it can also make profits, the profit margin is relatively limited. He Yuzhu has long been eager to enter the more profitable electronics industry, but unfortunately he has not been able to find the right opportunity and way to achieve it.

Now, by chance, I have come across this business engaged in the electronics industry. Naturally, I don’t want to let go of this rare opportunity easily. I plan to try to dig out some useful information and resources from it.

Soon, He Yuzhu was led by the clerk to an elegantly decorated office.

There was a man sitting at the desk, who looked quite young, about 30 years old. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and looked gentle and refined.

Judging from his appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that such an elegant man is actually an agent of the US 1st Bureau. What is even more unexpected is that all the difficulties encountered by the newspaper before were caused by the secret manipulation of this man named Jimmy.

He also instigated two staff members to rebel. Fortunately, He Yuzhu had special abilities.
