Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

The two sides finally reached an agreement to exchange photovoltaic slicing machines for Intel's brand-new 3-micron production line.

Two~

Intel was unwilling to offer other technologies in exchange, and Yang Jianguo did not insist.

Two of Intel's latest production lines.

Once the goods arrive, Yang Jianguo will be quite busy.

First, we'll 'analyze' it, and then hand the technology over to the research institute.

Hopefully, Intel's technology will help their ongoing nanotechnology research and development.

That's right, the research institute's project has officially entered the nanoscale.

They already have enough technology to produce the so-called 3-micron production line.

I agreed to Intel's equipment replacement, but only in order to find inspiration and ideas.

Being complacent and stagnant is not conducive to technological innovation and breakthroughs.

The same applies to nations.

Jordan Andrews, who was pleased about this, was unaware that the other party's desire for the production line was not driven by a thirst for 'advanced technology'.

That thing was just a 'reference point' in Yang Jianguo's eyes!

“Andrew, Loongson possesses a wealth of advanced technologies, though they cannot compare to those of your country.”

"But your country has more than just Intel."

"So don't try to lower prices by using technology that your employer can't get."

"I am very interested in your country's oil recovery and extraction technology. Please submit an offer!"

Yang Jianguo laid out the list of 'licensable' companies held by Loongson on the table, allowing the other party to choose freely.

As an international front man, Jordan Andrews' employers are not limited to Intel.

If he is a greedy, vicious dog, then the owners who raise this vicious dog are a pack of dogs.

That's why Yang Jianguo said he was interested in oil extraction technology.

If I remember correctly, Jordan Andrew once said that one of his employers was ExxonMobil.

"Yang, the technology you want is too sensitive; the government won't agree to it."

Jordan Andrews tried to negotiate a lower price, but the government, of course, would not agree to sell its most advanced oil extraction technology.

"But that's not something I need to consider; it's something you and your employer should consider, isn't it?"

Yang Jianguo's answer was simple: "It's none of my business."

The free market—that's the rule that you Westerners have always touted.

Now, you've taken a liking to the items I've displayed.

They couldn't afford to offer a price and insisted on using other defective products as substitutes.

Sorry, I don't accept!

If you want it, offer real money in exchange; otherwise, we'll discuss it in person.

The seven major oil companies are very powerful, but they are not the only ones in the world that possess advanced technologies.

Royal Oil and Shell both possess advanced mining technologies.

Although the chances of obtaining technology from them are even slimmer.

But it is also an option.

If it weren't for the need to openly and legitimately promote the technology and avoid diplomatic disputes...

Yang Jianguo should just go directly to Lou's purchasing agent; why waste time with him here?

"Yang, I need to talk to the boss and then give you an answer."

As a front man, Jordan Andrews didn't have the authority to make the final decisions.

"Okay, please do it as soon as possible, Andrew."

Yang Jianguo stood up, grasped his hand, and said, "You know, this era is changing very fast. Maybe I won't need it anymore tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jordan Andrew gave a wry smile.

This ancient country undergoes new changes every day.

They were like unleashing a potential that had been suppressed for a century.

Everything that has developed and progressed is happening so fast it's unbelievable.

Although it still has this or that problem and flaw.

However, it cannot be denied that it has already shown signs of rising and possesses the strength to do so.

That counterattack, which took place a few years ago, is still a small-scale conflict.

Let the whole world clearly realize that the giant of the East has opened its eyes.

A backbone forged of steel, no one can break it.

……

In the front yard of the house, several girls in work clothes were busy going in and out.

The courtyard was filled with various flowers and plants, as well as some brand-new decorations that smelled of wood.

Yingzi didn't go to the bookstore today; Huaihua, who was on holiday, was there watching over it for her.

She was directing the girls in the front yard, telling them how to arrange the flowers and plants and where to hang the swings.

Where should the long-backed chair be placed in front of a house's porch?

That's fine, but wait until a few men carry in a 'mountain' together.

The girls were all dumbfounded.

What kind of family is this?

Yingzi was also stunned by the artificial hill and stood on tiptoe to look outside.

"Hey, slow down, slow down, don't bump it, it's not sturdy."

Li Aimin, carrying a bag under his arm, came in making a ruckus.

Taking a few steps forward, Yingzi pulled him aside and asked, "Aimin, what's this?"

"Sis, it's a rockery, it's man-made. We'll connect pipes later and it'll even run water!"

“Look at this, it flows down from this mountain, then into the ‘lake’ below, and then back down.”

Li Aimin proudly told his older sister how advanced this new gadget was.

But after Yingzi finished listening, her first question was, "How much water will that take?"

"No~"

Li Aimin was both amused and exasperated. How could he be so stingy!

With all the dividends and such over the years, you must be worth at least a million, right?

Just mutter a few words to yourself and that's enough. These days, resentment towards the rich is rampant, so it's best not to be so high-profile.

However, he really did come here for the money.

He felt more at ease asking his brother-in-law to invest in his new business.

"Sister, come here, I need to tell you something."

Li Aimin called his older sister aside and started talking to her about the new business.

He plans to develop real estate in Shenzhen; he's already found the connections and secured the channels.

The land parcels have all been selected; all that's left is to get to work.

But Yingzi's answer was, "I have no money."

This completely baffled Li Aimin; how could she not have money?!

Chapter 469 The Yang Family Style, Assembling a Team

Li Aimin never imagined that his older sister would be unwilling to invest money in him.

She's not like that; she's always been indifferent to money.

It's not that they're hoarding all their money and unwilling to spend it.

"Opening an academy, buying books, and buying these courtyards don't cost money, do they?"

Yingzi chuckled and explained to him where all their money had gone.

It wasn't just the expenses; Yang Jianguo also used the money to invest in Loongson.

In addition, he sponsored several impoverished students.

"No, my brother-in-law also sponsored impoverished students?"

This was the first time Li Aimin had ever heard of such a thing.

"Yes, they're all children from their system. Something happened to their families, and they've lost their ability to work."

There are more than 20 in total, but I haven't asked for the specifics.

Yingzi never questioned the money her husband spent outside the home.

However, he always submits expense reports when he pays his salary.

But the number of people he sponsors increases year by year.

Yingzi really didn't know, how many were there now?

"Cheng, as expected of my brother-in-law."

Li Aimin shook his head and smiled wryly; this way of doing things was just like his brother-in-law's.

I heard my older sister say "sponsoring children" and "investing in government companies".

Li Aimin had no doubt whatsoever; this was classic 'Yang style'.

If one of his older sisters ever tells him, "Your brother-in-law bought himself a car and is going to a big dance hall to dance and drink," he'll be in trouble.

Li Aimin would definitely pop his eyes out; that would be truly astonishing!

“Your brother-in-law said last time that you're better at running the business yourself.”

Seeing that he was about to retort, Yingzi preemptively said, "Your brother-in-law's identity is special after all; it's not good for others to know."

Regardless of whether it's compliant or not, it's unacceptable for people to know that you, an official, are doing business with someone else.

To outsiders, this means they've done something wrong.

Whether it's compliant or not is none of your business; those rules are all set by you officials.

You're the one who calls the shots in everything.

"Okay, then pretend I didn't say anything, I'll go back now."

After thinking about it, Li Aimin decided to calculate a share of the profits for his nephew.

He calls Zhiyuan and Zhiyi frequently, even more often than their parents.

His nephews and nieces are happy to chat with him, because he's tight-lipped and has no worries!

There shouldn't be any problem putting the shares under Zhiyuan's name!

As for why it wasn't Zhiyi, he, as her uncle, will definitely give her a substantial dowry in the future.

But if it involves shares, then she'll be considered someone else's wife after she marries into their family.

Li Aimin naturally liked his niece.

But when it comes to Yingzi's nephew-in-law, who doesn't yet have Yingzi, there's no way to refuse.

He had no interest in giving away his property to an outsider.

"Hey, Aimin, this artificial hill..."
