Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

In Hangzhou, he went to Shifeng Mountain and transplanted fifty wild Longjing tea trees, as well as more than a dozen precious tree species such as pipa, snow pear, papaya, kiwi, pomegranate, citrus, and pecan.

After visiting these two places, Qin Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the fact that even in this era, they are still worthy of the title of "paradise".

Time flies. After university started, Qin Zheng immediately found Shen Junxian, his teacher who taught solid-state physics.

"Teacher Shen, I designed three things during the summer vacation and I would like you to review them. Do you have time?"

Shen Junxian said in surprise: "You definitely have time. Let's go to our department office and let me take a look."

The two of them came to the office and saw Mr. Hu Zhenzhong, who taught mechanics, was also there.

After greeting Teacher Hu, he naturally knew what was going on and looked very excited.

When they opened the drawings, they saw words like "semi-automatic twin-drum washing machine" on one piece of paper, "fast heating" on another, and "electric rice cooker" on another.

Yes, nowadays, there are no hot water heaters or semi-automatic washing machines in the world, but according to Qin Zheng’s memory, electric rice cookers have already appeared in Japan, but their technological content is not high.

The level of both teachers is naturally very high. After looking at the drawings, they were both very excited.

"Qin Zheng, your design ideas are very creative and the design plan is ingenious. There is no problem and it can even be produced directly."

Teacher Shen was amazed. This student was really unexpected.

He already knew that Qin Zheng had designed two devices and had created a lot of foreign exchange for the country.

"Teacher Shen, Teacher Hu, I would like to ask you to communicate with the school and ask our school-run factory to produce samples so that we can make improvements."

"No problem. I'll go find the department chair right away."

The two teachers left the office in a hurry.

Two days later, the samples were produced, and the verification results were as expected, with promising results.

Not long after, Yang Xinglin and Guo Xinping from the military region came to Peking University, along with representatives from Zhongrun Company.

"Comrade Qin Zheng, according to our investigation, electric rice cookers have been available in Japan for two years, but the hot pot and semi-automatic twin-drum washing machine are not yet on the market, so you can apply for a patent. Moreover, the electric rice cooker you designed is better than the Japanese one in terms of both appearance and practicality, so we can also apply for a patent."

Jiang Dingfeng, the representative of Zhongrun Company, said politely with a smile on his face.

After negotiations, the military, Zhongrun, Jingda and Qin Zheng signed a four-party agreement. The core content was naturally to determine the responsibilities and obligations of each party, as well as the distribution of benefits.

Of course, Qin Zheng still did not want any patent fees, but he could receive a salary from Zhongrun Company. In this way, he added another identity: Deputy Director of the R&D Department of Zhongrun Company, and was assigned an office in the Beijing office. However, there was no restriction on working hours, and he could even just get paid without going to work. Of course, it would be best if he could go there for one or two days a month.

Now is an era that emphasizes dedication. Having too much money is a sin. Qin Zheng is not short of money. It would be better not to have the obvious money like patent fees. It would be better to put a tight ring around himself and make people salivate.

As for Zhongrun Company, that’s incredible!

Its predecessor was the underground communication station of our party in Hong Kong Island during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In 1948, it was reorganized into Zhongrun Company, which was affiliated to the Central Trade Department of China and was the general agent of various Chinese import and export companies in Hong Kong Island.

Before the 1980s, Zhongrun’s main task was to organize exports to Hong Kong, import important materials for the mainland, and ensure the supply of the Hong Kong market. Its trade volume once accounted for one-third of the country’s total foreign trade. In short, in a word, this company was red and had the mission of earning foreign exchange for China.

"Qin Zheng, you are now also a member of our Zhongrun, so you must take some time to get to know us. If you have time, let's go to Hong Kong Island together so that you can learn about the situation in capitalist society."

After the negotiation, Jiang Dingfeng pulled Qin Zheng aside and talked. His attitude was much more casual at this moment.

"That's a must, Manager Jiang."

"Hey, why call me manager? From now on, just call me Brother Jiang. I will just call you by your name."

“Listen to Brother Jiang.

"Qin Zheng, your first two inventions have earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country. Almost a quarter of our country's foreign exchange is created by your inventions. I feel that today's two inventions have generated greater benefits. To be honest, your salary is still too low."

Jiang Dingfeng was very clear about the value of Qin Zheng's invention. He only said that he earned a lot of foreign exchange, but did not say the specific amount. In fact, it had exceeded 10 million Mi Yuan.

Patented products like this have very high prices internationally and the profits are staggering, especially when they are licensed to certain countries, where money comes in even faster.

However, Qin Zheng's income was totally disproportionate to the foreign exchange he created, so Jiang Dingfeng really felt sorry for Qin Zheng.

"Brother Jiang, as for money, it's good enough as long as you have enough for your daily use."

"You are really open-minded."

Looking at Qin Zheng's appearance, he really didn't care about how much money he had, and Jiang Dingfeng was impressed.

Qin Zheng's salary at Zhongrun is not low. Based on the salary of Zhongrun's domestic employees, it is RMB 2.1 million per month.

For Zhongrun Company's employees in China, this income is just an average salary and is not much.

Qin Zheng did not refuse the salary. He wanted to act like he regarded money as dirt, but if he overacted, it would have the opposite effect.

With this income backed by the state, Qin Zheng knew that he could patronize the commissioned store at will. After all, he had longed for the goods in the store.

There are four most famous consignment stores in the capital, namely Dongdan, Xisi, Beixinqiao and Caishikou. Due to the shortage of goods, people put their unused items in the consignment stores to sell, which can alleviate the shortage of daily necessities.

Therefore, the commissioned stores at this time became the favorite of the people, because they were not only convenient and flexible and met the needs of the people, but the transaction price was agreed upon by the principal and the customer, and the transactions were fair and reasonable.

There are many treasures owned by collectors in later generations, all of which were bought from commissioned stores in the fifties and sixties. It can only be said that there are always people who are aware of finding bargains. And judging from the amount of material resources in society, those who knew how to find bargains in the fifties and sixties can only be said to be experts. They were really experts!

Through the three things Qin Zheng invented, the professors at the school had an intuitive understanding of his level of knowledge.

In terms of knowledge mastery, this student has already reached the level of an undergraduate graduate, and in some aspects, even exceeded it.

After all, these three things involve categories such as electromagnetism, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid physics. As a result, Qin Zheng enjoyed the treatment of special tutoring by the professor, and he had less and less freedom in school.

During the National Day, happy events come to the Qin family again!
