Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Qin Zheng understood. He didn't pay much attention to this matter. He never asked about it again after donating it.

"It's fine to be a middleman. But, Uncle Lou, forgive me for being blunt, even if we get the production rights, we'll only be a downstream manufacturer, and the profit won't be high!"

Lou Jianye gave Qin Zheng a thumbs up and said, "You are an expert. That's true, but private enterprises do not have the right to export."

Qin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lou, you should have noticed that in September this year, the country passed the general principles of public-private partnerships. What do you think?"

Lou Jianye's expression became serious. After thinking for a long time, he said, "From what I have learned, my understanding is that public-private partnership is to occupy the capitalist field with socialist elements, implement a policy of redemption on capitalist industry and commerce, and gradually complete socialist transformation. In public-private partnership enterprises, socialist elements are in a leading position. Of course, the legitimate rights and interests of private shares must also be protected."

"Your understanding is correct. But how much say do you think you will have in the factory after the public-private partnership is completed?"

Lou Jianye nodded. He naturally understood that once the public-private partnership was completed, he would basically have no say and could only sit at home and collect dividends.

He looked up at Qin Zheng and said, "I feel like you have something else to say. What do you think I should do?"

At this moment, he really didn't regard Qin Zheng as a junior, but was talking to him as a person of equal status.

"Uncle Lou, let me tell you. In this country, the private economy will no longer have a legal place to stay. Whether it is a big capitalist or a small private owner, they will only have one identity in the future, that is, Chinese citizens. Do you agree with this?"

"Recognition."

Lou Jianye did not hesitate at all, he must have thought about this issue.

"So, there is absolutely no need for you to add another workshop to the steel mill. If you have the time and financial resources, you might as well find another way."

"What do you suggest?"

"You should be aware of the situation of Zhongrun Company. All the products produced in China are exported by Zhongrun to earn foreign exchange. If you change your thinking, if you open a factory directly in Hong Kong Island, will the result be more ideal?"

Lou Jianye suddenly realized that as a business elite, he naturally understood what this meant.

"You mean I should start over again, get the patent, open a factory in Hong Kong Island, and sell products directly overseas?"

"That's what I mean. You can either open a factory yourself or form a joint venture with Zhongrun Company."

Lou Jianye frowned and thought about it, then returned to the original topic and said, "It seems that you can help me get the authorization license."

But Qin Zheng could hear the subtext in his words.

Helping the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill obtain the authorization license was not out of favoritism. Qin Zheng would naturally not be confused when it came to major issues. He would not participate in the negotiations, and Lou Jianye would not pay a penny less.

As for the suggestions given, they did not cause any loss of national interests. They only allowed Lou Jianye to make arrangements in advance to avoid the same fate as in the drama. What's more, he was also thinking of making arrangements for Hong Kong Island in advance.

"Yes, now I also have a job in Zhongrun Company as the deputy director of the R&D department. It is not difficult to get the license."

Lou Jianye breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had some concerns about Qin Zheng's suggestion and needed to think about it carefully.

The reason why Qin Zheng agreed to come as a guest today was actually for his own purpose. He got straight to the point and said, "Uncle Lou, I have something I would like to ask you for a favor."

After hearing this, Lou Jianye felt a little more comfortable. After all, as a big capitalist, he still felt a little uncomfortable asking a young man for help.

"You said you could help me, and I will."

"I have captured and shot down airplanes on the battlefield, and I still have a piece of the airplane debris. You know, I studied physics at Beijing University, and I can determine that this piece of airplane debris is aluminum alloy. Moreover, I believe that in the future, light metal materials such as aluminum alloy will be widely used in aerospace, transportation, construction, electromechanical and daily life, which makes me interested in aluminum alloy. Therefore, I have consulted some information and sorted out a formula for aluminum alloy. I would like to ask you to help me refine a furnace of aluminum alloy in the steel rolling mill. Of course, the cost will be borne by myself. I wonder if it is convenient?"

After hearing this, Lou Jianye once again lamented Qin Zheng's evilness.

The reason why Qin Zheng is called a monster is not because he came up with a formula, but because Qin Zheng is too thoughtful and not complacent. He knows what he wants and does things very purposefully, and this trait is the most important quality for a person to succeed.

Another reason is that Qin Zheng casually said he would bear the tens of millions of dollars himself, which shows that he is not short of money.

With this understanding, he naturally would not refuse: "Of course it is convenient, and the cost will be borne by the steel mill. It can be regarded as my contribution to the country. After all, what you do is also for the country."

"Thank you, Uncle Lou."

"There's no need to be polite between us."

Qin Zheng pondered for a while and said, "Since Uncle Lou supports me, then I can't let Uncle Lou's efforts be in vain. I will give you a surprise then."

Lou Jianye laughed: "Really? Then I'll be waiting for it."

At this time, a pretty little girl came down, holding the railing and skipping. When she saw Qin Zheng, a curious expression immediately appeared on her face.

When he saw Qin Zheng clearly, he immediately shouted, "Are you Brother Qin Zheng?"

Qin Zheng stood up and said with a smile: "I am Qin Zheng."

"Hello, Brother Qin Zheng. My name is Lou Xiao'e."

The little girl is extremely beautiful, with a pair of big eyes that reveal spirituality, a rosy complexion, fair skin, a full nose, red lips, snow-white teeth, and electric eyes, which make her entire face look perfect.

"Hello, sister Xiao'e."

Lou Jianye said: "Qin Zheng, Xiao'e is my youngest daughter, she is fifteen years old this year."

When Qin Zheng was watching the TV series, he once calculated that Lou Xiao'e should have been born in 1940 and married into the Siheyuan between 1962 and 1963, because Lou Xiao'e once said that she had never met Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu's death time could be determined to be 1962.

With Lou Xiao'e around, the three adults naturally stopped talking about authorization and instead started chatting about family matters.

Lou Xiaoe said: "Brother Qin Zheng, I read the article "Who is the Loveliest Person" and it moved me so much that I cried several times. Can you tell me about the battlefield?

She was obviously more interested in the war that Qin Zheng participated in, and pestered him to tell her stories about the war in Chao X.

"War is cruel and bloody. Do you dare to listen?"

Qin Zheng felt somewhat helpless. Talking about killing people on the battlefield in front of someone's underage daughter might make her parents object.

Lou Jianye and his wife did not have such concerns. Lou Jianye said, "Just tell her one story. She has been protected too well by us and is very curious. Let her know how difficult life is."
