Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

As a rare female business leader, her every word and action is being watched by countless people.

On Jiangdao Island, most professional women regard her as a career icon.

Of course, some people think she's just born good-looking.

After venting, I'm still envious.

Being born well is just someone's fate!

"Sister Lou, I heard that the Lou family is planning to establish a research and development center in Europe soon. Is that true?"

"Yes, we have reached a cooperation agreement with Siemens to not only establish a semiconductor R&D center in Europe, but also to build a new factory inland."

Lou Xiao'e's official business this time was to cooperate with Siemens.

The joint venture factory established inland mainly produces digital public telephone exchange systems, computed tomography (CT) systems, and medical devices and related industries.

Their cooperation is multi-industry and comprehensive.

What Siemens received was Knowles' technical assistance in the semiconductor industry.

Compared to Siemens, which is just entering the industry and whose semiconductor division is still in the planning stages.

Lou is undoubtedly a leader in the semiconductor industry and a strong figure who deserves respect.

With Lou acting as a go-between, Siemens adopted a very humble attitude during its negotiations with the government.

The demands and conditions put forward also surprised many officials.

It's not too high, it's too low.

It turns out that these conditions are sufficient.

Yang Jianguo has been working hard to change his mindset.

However, getting everyone to understand this point is still a long and arduous task.

Some people get used to kneeling after kneeling for a while.

Even when the foreigner told him to get up, he would kowtow and say, "Kneeling is comfortable."

Even if you put an iron plate in his back, it wouldn't help.

"Sister Lou, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help."

Li Aimin wanted to start a business, and he planned to set up some factories inland.

But he hadn't decided what to do yet.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Jianguo and said, "You'll have to ask your brother-in-law; he's the expert in this area."

"Brother-in-law." Li Aimin shamelessly stared at him expectantly.

Yang Jianguo shook his head with a forced wry smile and said, "If you really want to do it, you may not see any profits in the early stages, and you might even lose everything."

"It's nothing, I have nothing else but plenty of money." Li Aimin was getting cocky.

"What about basic software and hardware research and development, and overall computer research and development?"

Yang Jianguo slammed two tough nuts in his mouth and placed them in front of him.

Making things difficult for his own family members is something he excels at.

Sure enough, Li Aimin shook his head with a long face and said, "Brother-in-law, you've found two holes to bury me!"

Looking back with a forward-looking perspective, the industry that Yang Jianguo mentioned naturally has unlimited potential.

But a closer analysis reveals how many people die on the road.

Not only for the next twenty or thirty years, but also until the year Yang Jianguo time-traveled, people were still dying one after another on the road.

It seemed as if there was no end in sight.

That's why he specifically allocated funds for software infrastructure and collaborated with local governments to create professional incubation industrial parks.

We will encourage and support more related enterprises to go further down this path.

Even so, Yang Jianguo still wasn't confident that he could get both things done.

5 million sounds like a lot.

If you put it in cash, it would be an astronomical figure, enough to exhaust you to carry.

It can be used in basic research and development, just like throwing stones into the sea.

It didn't even make a splash; it vanished completely!

Yang Jianguo was also worried about this matter, wondering where he could get more money!

Li Aimin delivered it right to my door, hey~

Have it.

"Brother-in-law, we can't do this to our own people."

Li Aimin is speechless. Does he have to be so cruel to his brother-in-law? We're family.

"What if it works out?"

Yang Jianguo didn't force him, and just kept throwing bait out for him.

Yes, the risk is high.

The investment is huge, but what if it succeeds!

Have you ever thought about how big the profit margin could be?

Without high investment, there can be no high returns.

“I wouldn’t allow others to join, but I’ll only agree because you’re one of us and won’t act recklessly.”

Yang Jianguo made it clear to him that he could either run half of the company himself or become an investor and provide funding.

We'll follow the procedures exactly, but there's one condition that needs to be made clear.

Don't try to direct experts like an amateur. If someone is wasting money and messing things up, I'll take care of them before you even arrive.

But if you do your research honestly, you'll fail; you've gone down the wrong path.

That's not anyone's fault; they have to take full responsibility.

Chapter 524 Li Aimin's Considerations, Making a Decision

Talk is talk, and complaints are complaints.

Li Aimin knew perfectly well that this was a matter that ordinary people shouldn't even think about getting involved in.

Because his brother-in-law took it too seriously, fearing that someone might try to interfere.

Don't end up with little money and disrupting your plans.

High risk, high investment, high return...

It's also possible to lose everything!

Li Aimin hesitated, wondering whether he should go ahead with the deal.

It wasn't that he was timid; it was just that the investment amount was too large.

To see any results, you need to start with a million.

When progress is made, what awaits is not profit, but an even bigger bottomless pit.

He can't afford to be careless when he's throwing in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars!

Over the years, Li Aimin has made a considerable fortune through various businesses and trade.

At best, we can barely scrape together seventy or eighty million.

Seventy or eighty million, that's quite a lot.

If he kept it, he could live a carefree life no matter what he did.

Not just him, but the next three generations won't have to worry.

Therefore, Li Aimin really needs to think carefully about whether or not to take the risk.

If he were alone, he would have voted.

But now, he has a wife and young children...

cough~

Anyway, there are too many people to support, so we have to be careful.

"Think about it slowly, and tell me when you've figured it out."

Lou Xiao'e interjected, "I think this is an opportunity. The Lou family simply doesn't have the spare money, otherwise they would definitely do it."

She was telling the truth; the Lou family was very large and powerful.

It looks like it's making money, but the expenses are also high.

Various advanced equipment and instruments, investment in talent, and technological research and development.

There are also equipment upgrades and replacements; money is needed everywhere.

Otherwise, she genuinely wanted to expand her business.

"Just focus on the current collection system; trying to do too much will only lead to problems," Yang Jianguo said casually.

Yingzi didn't interrupt until they had finished talking.

Then he picked up his chopsticks and urged, "Don't just keep talking, the food will get cold if you don't eat soon."

"Let's eat, let's eat," Li Aimin echoed, lost in thought.

After the meal, Yingzi cleared the dishes, and Lou Xiao'e helped with the washing up.

Li Aimin looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Was Lou Xiao'e being a little too diligent?

"Brother-in-law, let's go outside and talk." Li Aimin wanted to speak with him privately.

They were talking about business, and how confident he really was about the incubator.

"5 points." Yang Jianguo's answer was quite fair.

There was neither exaggeration nor deliberate denigration.

He wasn't really confident; he was just seizing an opportunity.

He had been wondering how such a large country with so many people could not accomplish this!

But when he actually started doing it, he discovered the difficulties involved.

Lack of money, shortage of manpower, and being held back at every turn.

After finally achieving some results, a review of the relevant technologies always reveals areas where they clash with those of foreign counterparts.

There are two options: either pay patent fees to the other party or start over and find a way to circumvent the restrictions.

There's another issue with patent payment, and how important is it?

If it involves core technologies, your product will be rendered obsolete if they stop using them one day.

That's definitely not going to work.

If it doesn't involve the core issues, then this approach would work.

Another issue is the loss of talent. As soon as a capable person makes some progress, various groups come to poach them.

The conditions given are increasingly demanding and exaggerated.

Some people can remain steadfast and unmoved, but most people cannot.

Everyone wants a good life, even if they're doing the same job.

On one hand, they offer you a salary of 200, and on the other hand, they offer a high salary of 10,000, paid leave, free housing, and other benefits.

No one can withstand it; even if someone were in his place, he couldn't withstand it!

Therefore, there is a shortage of both people and money on one hand, and a large-scale brain drain on the other.

Many companies have grown to the size of assembly lines dedicated to training experienced professionals.

New employees are recruited into the factory, and after much training, they can be put into higher-tech research and development to restart projects.
