Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

I didn't see Lou Xiao'e when I went downstairs; she must still be asleep.

"Sir, you're awake. Would you like breakfast?"

The maid came forward to greet him, and Yang Jianguo politely replied, "Thank you, let's eat together later!"

"By the way, what time does Miss Lou usually get up?"

The maid replied, "Oh, that's not fixed. I get up whenever I wake up."

Yes, the life of the rich.

Simple and unpretentious!

I took a walk in the garden and saw the crystal-clear swimming pool.

Yang Jianguo suddenly felt a little tempted and thought about swimming a few laps.

He did swim in Beijing.

However, these were all people who used to go swimming in the lake. Now that it's strictly regulated, there's a fear of danger.

Railings have been erected along the lake, with warning signs prohibiting swimming.

The swimming pool is too crowded, and I don't have much time to go.

Today he's all alone, occupying the 20-meter-long swimming pool by himself.

How cool it is!

Yang Jianguo went inside and asked the maid if she had any suitable swimming trunks.

"Yes, the old gentleman comes to stay occasionally."

The old gentleman the maid mentioned was naturally Lou Xiao'e's father, Lou's father.

After changing into his swimming trunks, Yang Jianguo went to the poolside.

I stretched my body in the morning sun, ready to dive in.

Then I heard someone behind me say, "Swimming so early in the morning, aren't you cold?"

Spring hasn't arrived yet, and the cold wind is quite biting.

Zhang Qiming laughed and said, "This temperature is nothing, I'll swim two laps first."

Thump~

I saw a figure darting forward in the water like a fish.

Lou Xiao'e sat by the pool, dipped her feet in the water and swam around, watching him swim back and forth.

"Whoosh~" After swimming four laps, Yang Jianguo clung to the shore and lifted his head.

"Great, you swim just as well as a professional."

Lou Xiao'e was impressed; the aura surrounding this man was truly inexhaustible.

Just when you think you understand him, something new suddenly comes up.

How could anyone not be attracted to a man like that?

Yang Jianguo braced himself against the shore, then leaped upwards with his hands behind his back, sitting down on the bank.

The maid brought him a towel and draped it over his face. Yang Jianguo wiped the water off his face and said, "If you want to have a healthy body, you have to exercise regularly."

"You too, exercising more is always good for you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled noncommittally and said, "What are you planning to take with you this time?"

The smile on Yang Jianguo's face gradually faded.

"The technological breakthrough in lithography machines is highly valued by the higher authorities, who consider it a matter of national importance."

"So what?" Lou Xiao'e understood what he meant, but she still wanted to hear it.

She would agree to any of these things if Yang Jianguo asked.

Lou Xiao'e wanted to see if he could actually say it.

Is it important to him, but not to the Lou family?

If they simply take the technology and produce it themselves, what will happen to Lou's?

She used to not care about these things, since in the end they were all just external possessions anyway.

But now, she has a son.

Yang Jianguo remained silent for a long time before saying, "We guarantee that the technology will not be shared or leaked, and internal procurement will only be sold at cost price."

"I promise I won't sell the technology publicly once I take it back."

The technology will definitely be taken away, but whether or not it is used is a big question mark.

If Lou can guarantee the supply to domestic demand, it can maintain the price at cost.

He could persuade others to choose to outsource production to Lou's.

However, once the technology is taken, further research and development will definitely be necessary.

It's hard to say what will happen when domestic technology surpasses Knowles'.

“Okay, this is what you promised me.” Lou Xiao’e agreed to his terms.

In reality, there's not much you can do if you disagree.

Whether from a public or private perspective, the Lou family didn't really have much of a choice.

Loongson is ultimately a major shareholder of Lou's.

Moreover, the other side has a nation that is gradually becoming stronger standing behind them.

The growth and expansion of the Lou family is due to the accumulation and improvement of its technology over the years.

She understands that it also relies on the support of Loongson and the country.

So, from the very beginning.

Lou Xiao'e knew that she had no choice.

For her and Louji Electric Power to receive such a guarantee from Yang Jianguo was good enough.

After breakfast, the two of them took a car together to the company.

In the conference room, I met the inspection team who had been left stranded in the hotel overnight.

"Director Yang, you left without saying a word yesterday, leaving us all at the hotel."

There's been absolutely no news. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

As soon as I sat down, someone stood up and started nitpicking.

Yang Jianguo glanced at the other person only once before turning his gaze forward:

"Regarding Louji Electric's latest research results, the immersion wet etching method is used for processing."

"I reached a preliminary agreement with Chairman Lou that the Lou family will provide Loongson with its technology free of charge..."

As soon as the decision was announced, people below immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Both the inspection team and Lou's senior executives were shocked by this.

The two reached an agreement overnight, without calling anyone or consulting with anyone else.

The first thing they do is issue a notice, this...

Isn't that too domineering?

Furthermore, technology alone is insufficient; the research process and data are also crucial.

Shouldn't they share this with us? Also, shouldn't we send some people from China to learn from them?

After all, practice makes perfect!

The people at Loongson are much more pragmatic. Why should our technology be provided to Loongson for nothing?

Didn't they pay for each technology license they obtained from Loongson?

How come, when it's reversed, it becomes 'free' provision?

Isn't this going too far?!

To their surprise, Yang Jianguo then announced several more decisions.

This includes their agreement that the technology will only be used for research and will not be used in the commercial sector to compete with Louji Electric.

The procurement of major domestic research and development institutions will all be handled by Louji Electric.

However, Louji Electric only sells at cost price, and the Ministry of Industry will carefully verify whether this price is accurate.

If any falsehoods are found, the party has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.

In short, the country will not compete with the people for profit, nor will it let patriots feel disheartened.

We will never interfere with the market and profits that should be ceded!

However, entrepreneurs must also shoulder the patriotism and corporate responsibility that are due.

A strong nation makes its people strong.

A strong people makes a strong nation.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

We are all working towards the same goal, so we should unite as one and cooperate for mutual benefit.

“I object to…”

Chapter 556 Objections, Someone Is Playing the Deceptive

There were objections, and they came from people on their own side.

Yang Jianguo was not surprised that he had considered this possibility.

"Comrade Li Hong, please feel free to raise any opinions you may have," Yang Jianguo said with a smile.

Li Hong, who was named, was somewhat stiff.

Under the intimidating gaze of Yang Jianguo, she felt immense pressure.

But there are some things she has to say.

Whether Yang Jianguo listens or not is his business, but she has to speak up, otherwise she'll be the one in trouble when she gets back.

"I believe this technology is of great importance and should be handed over to the relevant departments to be in charge of the entire process."

"Louji Electric can produce it, but the technology must be mastered..."

Seeing Yang Jianguo's eyes narrow slightly and his pupils contract with a serious expression, Li Hong paused for a moment:

"It is best to keep it in the hands of Loongson or the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to ensure that no unnecessary losses occur."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lou Xiao'e stepped forward: "What kind of loss are you referring to?"

The in-depth interpretation they mentioned was essentially questioning the Lou Group's stance.

Criticizing her might be biased, but if Lou Xiao'e doesn't stand up for herself, her subordinates will also have opinions about her.

"Where you sit determines where you look," as the person in charge of the Lou Group.

Even when facing Yang Jianguo, there were some things she could back down from, but there were others she couldn't give in to, no matter how hard she wanted to.

Not to mention, now Li Hong has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Chairman Lou, I meant to avoid, not that it will definitely happen."

"That means it won't happen. Since it won't happen, what's the point of preventing it?"

"Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it won't happen. It's precisely because we made preparations in advance that we avoided the crisis."

Just like obeying traffic rules when crossing the street, seeing a warning and choosing to leave instead of taking risks or trying something new out of wishful thinking.

"Leaving the outcome to luck is irresponsible in itself."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and said, "So, you can guarantee that what you say is definitely correct."

“Of course…no.” Li Hong was somewhat unwilling; the other party was cheating.
