Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Xiao Haichen finally finished his meal, and Zhong Yuemin began to urge him. "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for? Your sister is waiting anxiously."

Xiao Shihua has already put on her small schoolbag, ready to set off with Zhong Yuemin at any time.

Xiao Haichen also got angry and shouted at Zhong Yuemin, "Can't I go to the toilet?"

Zhong Yuemin replied impatiently, "I'm telling you, Zhong Haichen, don't get yourself into trouble for getting beaten. I'll give you five more minutes. If you haven't finished after five minutes, you'll get beaten."

Xiao Haichen stared at Zhong Yuemin with wide eyes and responded stubbornly, "I need to go to the toilet."

Zhong Yuemin looked at his watch and said, "There are still four and a half minutes left."

Xiao Shihua quickly pulled Xiao Haichen away, saying as they walked, "Why don't you hurry up and go to the toilet?"

Five minutes later, Xiao Haichen reluctantly pouted and got on Zhong Yuemin's motorcycle. He also shouted to Chen Yijun behind him, "Grandma, remember to pick me up early."

Unfortunately, the motorcycle was running too fast and I don’t know if Chen Yijun heard it.

As the first rays of morning sunshine shone on the gate of Yanjing Primary School, Zhong Yuemin completed his first "escort mission".

Zhong Yuemin gently placed the little poem at the school gate, his eyes full of pampering and encouragement. "Girl, can you go in by yourself?"

Xiao Shihua looked up, her eyes gleaming with confidence, and answered crisply, "Dad, I can do it."

Then, she jumped off the motorcycle like a happy little bird and ran lightly into the school, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter and a gradually fading back.

Zhong Yuemin watched his daughter walk away, feeling reluctant but also relieved. He quickly turned the car around and drove towards Yanjing No. 1 Kindergarten.

When we arrived at the kindergarten, the morning light had already filled the entire yard. The children were playing in groups of two or three, or gathered around the teacher listening to stories. It was a lively scene.

Zhong Yuemin looked around and found that most of the children had arrived, except for Xiao Haichen, who was late. He smiled playfully and said to Xiao Haichen, "See? You were the last one to leave yesterday, and today you are the last one to come. Isn't this fair?"

When little Haichen heard this, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his little face. He pouted his lips and widened his eyes, as if saying, "I don't want such fairness!" He lowered his head and gently kicked the pebbles on the ground with his toes, refusing to pay attention to Zhong Yuemin.

At this time, a gentle female voice broke the silence: "Haichen is here, why do you look unhappy? Say goodbye to daddy!"

Teacher Li came over with a smile, squatted down, and gently took Xiao Haichen's hand. Her voice was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the haze in Xiao Haichen's heart.

Xiao Haichen looked up at Teacher Li, then quickly lowered his head, pouted, and still refused to speak. But he quietly pulled his hand out of Teacher Li's hand, and then gently and carefully held it. This subtle action seemed to be his way of expressing his dependence on and trust in the teacher.

Faced with this scene, Zhong Yuemin smiled awkwardly but gracefully. He knew very well that the world of children is simple and pure, and every little emotion deserves to be understood and respected.

So, Zhong Yuemin bent down and said to little Haichen, "Haichen, Daddy is leaving. You must listen to Teacher Li and play happily with the other kids!" After saying that, he gave little Teacher Li a grateful look and turned to leave.

The Jianguo Hotel, a landmark building standing in the bustling area of ​​the city, is famous for its elegant European style and first-class service quality.

At this time, the sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the smooth marble floor, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to this solemn place.

Zhong Yuemin walked into the lobby with steady and powerful steps, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness and confidence.

Zhong Yuemin walked to the reserved box with ease and pushed open the door. He saw Li Wenbo sitting there, looking down at a document. Seeing Zhong Yuemin coming in, Li Wenbo stood up quickly and greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Zhong, you are here."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and nodded, walked straight to the table and sat down, then took out a thick stack of documents from his bag. They were the notes he had sorted out after staying up late last night. "Wenbo, take a look at these."

Zhong Yuemin handed the document to Li Wenbo as he spoke. "This matter is more complicated. We must ensure that every detail is foolproof."

Li Wenbo took the document and began to read it carefully. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and he was obviously digesting the contents carefully.

Half an hour later, he gently closed the document and looked up at Zhong Yuemin, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Mr. Zhong, I have memorized these precautions. Please rest assured that I will definitely discuss it according to your requirements."

Zhong Yuemin smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. "Very good, Wenbo, I have always trusted your ability. Go and get ready. I'll make a phone call to see if we can arrange a meeting today."

Li Wenbo nodded in agreement and watched Zhong Yuemin walk out of the box. He knew the importance of this mission and the responsibility on his shoulders. So he quickly got into the preparations and began to check every detail one by one to ensure that everything was perfect.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin had already arrived at the lounge area in the lobby and dialed a number. A deep and powerful voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Zhong Yuemin." Zhong Yuemin briefly gave his name and went straight to the point. "Can we meet today to discuss what we discussed before?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a pleasant voice came. "Teacher Zhong, I finally got your call. We can talk anytime."

"OK,

After Zhong Yuemin ended the call, he walked steadily back to the room where Li Wenbo was. As soon as he entered the room, he was attracted by the scene in front of him - his eyes fell on the two young men in suits and leather shoes with fair faces.

They followed Li Wenbo attentively, carrying exquisite briefcases in their hands, looking extremely professional and decent. Such a scene really added a bit of momentum that should not be underestimated.

"Mr. Zhong, do you think this will work?" Li Wenbo seemed quite satisfied with his arrangement and looked at Zhong Yuemin with a hint of expectation.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing and joked, "It would be even more perfect if we had a female secretary." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a joking light, and he was obviously trying to ease the atmosphere.

Li Wenbo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a somewhat embarrassed look. "Mr. Zhong, you know, it is really not easy to find a female secretary in the mainland who meets the requirements and is willing to accompany you. How about I transfer one from Hong Kong Island?"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin waved his hands and smiled. "I was just kidding. This is good enough. I really can't personally deal with today's matter, so everything depends on you. I believe in your ability and I believe you can handle everything."

Hearing this, Li Wenbo showed a more determined look on his face. "Mr. Zhong, don't worry. I will do my best to complete this task and I promise not to let you down."

With Zhong Yuemin's careful planning and introduction, the negotiations between Li Wenbo and the Institute of Computer Science gradually got on track, and the air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. At the negotiation table, the representatives of both sides sat upright, their eyes meeting, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

Director Zhang of the Computer Institute was the first to break the silence. His voice was steady and powerful, revealing the confidence and majesty of an industry leader. "I wonder how much money your company is willing to invest?" This question was direct and crucial, and it directly touched upon the material basis for the cooperation between the two parties.

Li Wenbo smiled when he heard this. He gently picked up the teacup on the table and pretended to take a sip of tea, but in fact he was using this short time to calm down and sort out his thoughts. He knew very well that this answer was not only related to the interests of the company, but also would affect the depth and breadth of the cooperation between the two parties.

"Director Zhang, the question you raised is very pertinent." Li Wenbo put down his teacup, looked directly at the other party, and spoke in a sincere and firm tone.

"Regarding the investment amount, we do need to consider multiple factors. First, how much money is needed to smoothly advance the project; second, the proportion our company hopes to occupy in the project, which is directly related to our risks and benefits; finally, the issue of the computer institute's patents is one of the core issues of our cooperation, and its value needs to be clearly defined and reasonably included in the investment considerations. This series of issues requires our two sides to have in-depth discussions and jointly negotiate a fair and reasonable solution."

Li Wenbo's answer not only demonstrated the company's sincerity and strength, but also strategically avoided the embarrassment of directly giving specific numbers.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang smiled. He gently flipped open the document at hand and pointed to the second page. "Mr. Li, this is the result of our team's detailed estimation. If we only focus on the development and production of floppy disks, the estimated initial investment is about 25 RMB. But considering that the focus of our cooperation this time is on Chinese character processing cards, if the two projects are carried out in parallel, the total investment will rise to about 50 RMB. Of course, this is only a preliminary estimate, and the specific amount needs to be adjusted according to the subsequent R&D progress and market feedback."

Li Wenbo carefully read the data on the paper and calculated in his mind. He remembered that Zhong Yuemin had emphasized the importance of the Han Card project when introducing it. Obviously, this coincided with the focus of the Computer Institute.

Li Wenbo looked up at Director Zhang and said firmly, "Director Zhang, funding is not a problem for our company. As you said, the Han Card project is the focus of our cooperation this time. We certainly hope to advance the two projects together to achieve technological breakthroughs and market expansion together."

At this time, someone interrupted and said, "Mr. Li, regarding the issue of fund payment, we do need to import some equipment from abroad, so we need to use foreign exchange. Can your company provide payment in foreign currencies such as Hong Kong dollars or US dollars?"

Li Wenbo smiled slightly, showing a high degree of confidence and composure. "Of course, whether it is Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, Japanese yen, euros, or British pounds, as long as you need it, we can provide it. Our company has always maintained close contact with the international market and has a variety of foreign currency payment channels. Please rest assured that we will fully support the various needs of the Computer Institute to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

Director Zhang and other members of the Computer Institute nodded their heads in satisfaction upon hearing this. They felt the importance and sincerity of Li Wenbo and his company for this cooperation, and it also strengthened the determination of both parties to work together to create a better future.

Just when the negotiations seemed to have been settled, Director Zhang suddenly remembered another key issue. He frowned and turned to ask Li Wenbo, "Mr. Li, as you know, our computer institute plans to use floppy disks as an important export item to earn foreign exchange. But facing the international market, we have no sales experience at all, which is indeed a problem. What we are worried about is whether we can sell them smoothly even if we produce them?"

This question directly touches on the core concern of the Institute of Computer Science and is also a realistic challenge they have to face when promoting the project. Li Wenbo looked solemn when he heard this. He knew the importance of this issue and understood the concerns of the Institute of Computer Science.

Li Wenbo pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Director Zhang, the question you raised is very critical. First of all, I want to make it clear that the name of our company is Jinhua Investment Co., Ltd. Our main business is investment, not direct participation in the daily operation and management of the enterprise. Therefore, in principle, we will not directly interfere in the internal management and operation of the Computer Institute."

As soon as Li Wenbo finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion in the computer department. Obviously, they were surprised and puzzled by this answer. In their opinion, if they did not participate in management, how would the problem of export be solved? If they could not export, how could they earn foreign exchange? Isn't this nonsense?

Director Zhang immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and encouraged Li Wenbo to continue. "Mr. Li, please continue."

Li Wenbo nodded and continued, "Although we are not directly involved in management, we can use our own resources and advantages to provide assistance to the Computer Institute. For example, in terms of export, we can introduce Hong Kong Island buyers to the Computer Institute and help them establish connections with the international market. As an important hub for international trade, Hong Kong Island has a wide procurement network and rich market resources. This is undoubtedly a valuable opportunity for the Computer Institute."

At this point, Li Wenbo paused and observed the reactions of the members of the Computer Institute. "Of course, we must also make it clear that the Computer Institute itself is responsible for domestic sales. After all, each market has its own unique characteristics and rules."

After listening to Li Wenbo's proposal, Director Zhang frowned and felt uneasy. The original intention of the Computer Institute and Jinhua Investment Company to form a joint venture was to use the power of foreign capital to promote the independently developed floppy disk products to the international market and achieve the goal of exporting and earning foreign exchange.

However, Li Wenbo's words "We can help you introduce buyers from Hong Kong Island" sounded a bit empty and uncertain, which made Director Zhang feel very unreliable.

"Recommendation?" Director Zhang repeatedly pondered the word in his mind. It seemed that it could not bring any substantial help or guarantee to the computer department. Without a stable sales channel and a clear sales plan, it would be a pipe dream to rely solely on "recommendation" to open up the international market.

What made Director Zhang even more dissatisfied was that Li Wenbo's words seemed to reveal an "irresponsible" attitude. They formed a joint venture to share risks and profits, rather than letting Jinhua Investment Company play the role of a mere "introducer". If the export and sales of products cannot be guaranteed, then what is the point of the joint venture?

However, Director Zhang also understood that there were some things he could not say directly in the meeting. After all, every meeting had minutes.
