Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 279 Asking for Technology in the Name of a Foreign Businessman

Watson waved his hand: "All right, that's it, I have a total of ten thousand dollars on me, do you think it's enough?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "The other party only has 6000 yuan in hand. If you exchange it into US dollars at a price of 3000:[-], you only need more than [-] US dollars. The US dollar is in short supply. If it weren't for private exchange, it would be illegal. , I really want to partner with you to exchange foreign exchange."

Watson curled his lips: "I'm a university professor with a good reputation. Even if you want to partner with me, I won't do it with you. It's too shameful. Only those moths on Wall Street can make any money. .”

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "What does Wall Street do?"

In the past few days, whenever Watson mentioned a new term, Niu Xiaoqiang would get to the bottom of it. If he didn't ask thoroughly, it would not be enough, and Watson had two big heads.

He was afraid of being asked, so he smiled wryly: "Can you stop asking? I will send you a lot of magazines and books after I return to China. You can learn it by yourself. I am a university professor, not an artificial encyclopedia. It is not suitable for the job of translation."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't wait for this, so he happily agreed.

After the car arrived at the pier, the driver Lao Liu said goodbye and went back.The three of them waited not long before the cabin door of the passenger ship opened.

The three boarded the boat one by one with the tickets they had bought. Watson looked at the sparkling river outside, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he got on the wrong boat when he came to China for the first time, and he unconsciously showed a funny expression on his face.

"Professor, what are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at the embarrassment I encountered when I first came to your place. At that time..."

Watson recounted that experience, Niu Xiaoqiang also laughed after listening to it, and kept saying that Watson was so courageous that he dared to act privately in a strange place.

Passengers in the cabin seemed a little cautious, peeking at Watson and Niu Xiaoqiang from time to time.Chinese people are like this in front of foreigners. They always feel that foreigners are noble and superior to themselves. They dare not even take a breath when they see foreigners.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't care about the astonished and curious eyes of others, and chatted with Watson on his own, and the journey was quite pleasant.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the passenger ship docked at the wharf in Aoshan Town, and the three of them got off the ship.

Watson came to Aoshan Town last year, but was picked up by someone sent by the government the next day.Revisiting the old place at this moment, he seemed a little emotional, and kept turning his head to look at the environment of this small town.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't urge him, but followed him slowly.

Watson looked at it for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked: "Xiaoqiang, this place is similar to what I saw last year. I didn't find a new factory built anywhere. Where is your factory built?"

Niu Xiaoqiang pointed to the hill not far away: "My factory is built on the hill over there."

Watson seemed a little surprised: "There isn't even a factory building over there, how can you open a factory?"

Niu Xiaoqiang talked about the air-raid shelter, and Watson's eyes widened after hearing this: "It is actually possible to build factories in the air-raid shelter? This idea is really strange."

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled: "Don't be surprised, you'll know when you see it with your own eyes."

Watson nodded and stopped talking, but his face was always full of doubts, obviously unacceptable.

After walking not far, Yu Simei suddenly said, "Xiaoqiang, something happened in the factory."

Niu Xiaoqiang looked up and saw many small black spots on the hillside.He understood at a glance that the whole family of those little black dots was full of people. Looking at the scale, there were hundreds of people at least.

At present, there are only a few dozen people in the factory, which shows that something must have happened on the mountain, otherwise there would not be so many people gathered there.

Niu Xiaoqiang's expression changed, his career had just started, but he couldn't bear the toss, so he ran away in a hurry: "I'll go over to see the situation first, you guys walk slowly."

The two of them saw him running so fast, how could they have the intention to walk slowly?Immediately ran after him.

Although Watson's physique is much stronger than Yu Simei's, he is not used to walking on mountain roads, and he is still far ahead on flat ground. When he ran on the mountain road, Yu Simei quickly caught up with and overtook him.

When he ran out of breath to the place where the crowd gathered, he found Niu Xiaoqiang standing in the middle of the crowd with a gloomy expression, staring at a dozen men.

Worried that Niu Xiaoqiang would be hurt, Watson pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, protecting Niu Xiaoqiang behind him like a bodyguard.This is not the first time he has come to China, and he knows that foreigners are very protected in China, and under normal circumstances no one would dare to harm foreigners.

Watson's appearance quieted down the noisy scene in an instant, and all the people present turned to stare at him, with expressions of extreme astonishment on everyone's faces.

Watson didn't have time to talk to other people, so he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Niu Xiaoqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and sneered disdainfully: "Professor, do you still remember what you told me about the patented technology?"

Watson nodded: "Of course I remember, is the current situation related to patented technology?"

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed even more disdainfully: "That's right, the middle-aged man with glasses on the opposite side is a Japanese, he came to my factory in the name of investigation and investment, and wanted to snatch the patented technology in my hand. In his hands, it is estimated that he will use these technologies to apply for patents, and then he will be able to earn money by collecting patent fees.”

Watson has heard about these behaviors of the Japanese for a long time, and he is very disdainful of such despicable behavior. When he saw that what he had heard happened before his eyes, he couldn't help snorting: "The Japanese are really shameless!" , extremely shameless!"

Fang Dongping was standing beside Niu Xiaoqiang. He didn't know much English. Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was chatting so enthusiastically with this foreigner, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Xiaoqiang, who is he?"

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't be in the mood to introduce Watson's identity now, he whispered: "Master, I'd better deal with the matter before me and tell you in private."

Fang Dongping nodded, and looked at the dozen or so people opposite him with disgust: "I was puzzled, the Japanese didn't even sign the contract, they just said to come and inspect, why did the province send a working group to help? What's annoying is that they force us to provide the prescriptions to the Japanese side for free, indiscriminately, what kind of thing is this?"

Niu Xiaoqiang sneered and said, "Mostly the higher-ups want to attract investment. Think about it, if a large foreign project is brought in in the inland area, how sensational is it? Those brains can make a lot of money by it." For this, why is it so strange that they sent a special working group?"

　Thanks to the book friend "Espimas" for the reward and support, bow!
