Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 872
Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and then replied: "Assembly plus debugging, it will take about half a month."

Zhang Xiaolan looked happy: "So I can earn fifteen thousand dollars in wages?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "Including the design wages a few days ago, you can earn a total of [-] US dollars this time."

Zhang Xiaolan rubbed her hands: "I'm so happy. After getting the money, I'll go buy New Year's gifts for my dad, so that he can have a good time!"

Zhang Xiaolan has made extra money with Niu Xiaoqiang twice, earning a salary of more than 1 US dollars.Of this money, six thousand dollars was used to pay off debts, and she saved the rest for expenses during her studies.

Now that the Lunar New Year is approaching, Zhang Xiaolan has decided to go back to China with Niu Xiaoqiang to visit relatives. If she can afford to buy gifts for her father, Zhang Xiaolan will be able to fulfill her filial piety, which naturally makes her very happy.

Like Zhang Xiaolan, Niu Xiaoqiang also plans to buy some gifts for his family when he returns to China, but he is not very good at buying gifts. In order to satisfy his family, he couldn't help asking: "I also want to buy gifts for my family. Bring something back, what do you think I should buy?"

Zhang Xiaolan immediately replied: "Of course, it is to buy things that are very rare in China, such as radio recorders, color TVs, sports shoes, beautiful clothes, etc. These are nothing in the United States, but they are very expensive in China. If you have time, we can go shopping together."

Niu Xiaoqiang estimated the workload at hand, and then nodded slightly: "After finishing assembling the robot, all that remains is to purchase TV production equipment. This does not take much time. I will call you when the time comes. Let's go shopping for gifts together."

Zhang Xiaolan readily agreed. After entering the laboratory, Niu Xiaoqiang found that Robert was sitting listlessly in front of the computer writing programs.With just a quick glance, he knew that Robert had written a virus program. It seemed that this guy was preparing in advance for his future fortune.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked with a smile: "Senior, where did the professor go?"

Robert turned off the programming interface, and said with a puzzled face: "He went to teach those graduate students, junior, didn't you say you would come here at night, why did you come in the morning?"

"I changed my mind. I plan to work during the day and not add night shifts at night."

Robert said happily: "Then I'll come to program again at night. To be honest, I'm really not used to programming during the day, and I don't even have any inspiration."

Robert is a night owl. He likes to work at night the most, but he can't cheer up during the day.

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Then the senior should come back to work at night."

Robert nodded, looked at Zhang Xiaolan, and asked, "Who is this lady?"

Niu Xiaoqiang introduced generously: "This is Zhang Xiaolan. She is studying abroad at Boston University. She is not only my compatriot, but also my fellow villager and friend. Xiaolan, this is the one I mentioned to you. Senior Robert, he is a top expert in programming and is currently working as a researcher in the artificial intelligence project."

Zhang Xiaolan knew that Niu Xiaoqiang did not praise Robert, he was indeed an extremely powerful person, if he was not so powerful, the relevant departments in the United States would not have detained him for four years.

She hurriedly stretched out her right hand to say hello to Robert. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Robert took Niu Xiaoqiang to the side, and said embarrassedly: "Student, do you have a lot of money recently?"

Niu Xiaoqiang knew what Robert wanted to do as soon as he heard it, and he asked: "Senior, do you want to borrow money from me?"

Robert rubbed his hands: "I want to buy a car, but I don't have any money at hand, so I can only ask you for a turnaround first."

Niu Xiaoqiang originally thought that what Robert wanted to buy was an ordinary model, so he nodded and agreed without thinking.Anyway, Robert will have $350 million in his account immediately, and Niu Xiaoqiang is not afraid that he will have no money to repay.

He generously took out his checkbook and asked, "Is twenty thousand dollars enough?"

Twenty thousand dollars can buy a very good car in the United States. In Niu Xiaoqiang's opinion, this money must be enough.

Unexpectedly, Robert scratched his head: "Well, what I want to buy is a Ferrari. The price has already been negotiated with the car dealer. The total is 27 US dollars."

Because Niu Xiaoqiang was worried that the amount would be too large, he was unwilling to lend it to himself, so Robert assured him: "Don't worry, as long as I get the wages, I will return the money to you as soon as possible, and I will also pay you [-] US dollars." interest."

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "There is no need to pay the interest, as long as the principal is repaid to me at that time, but I am a little curious, why are you so eager to buy a Ferrari?"

Robert chuckled: "I recently fell in love with a girl and wanted to pick her up. If I had a Ferrari, my chances of success would be greatly increased."

Niu Xiaoqiang was speechless: "Aren't you afraid that this woman is not looking at your man, but your Ferrari?"

Robert nodded calmly: "Of course I know, but so what? It's just for fun. If I want to find a wife, I will definitely not find this kind of money-worshiping woman."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled wryly and said: "Well, since you are just playing for fun, then I won't worry about it for you. This is a cash check from Citibank, the amount is 30 US dollars, and the extra [-] US dollars will be treated as Let me lend you money for your girl-picking activities."

Robert was overjoyed, and happily put his arms around Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulders: "Thank you for your great support, junior, don't say anything, I will recognize you as a brother for the rest of my life!"

He greeted Zhang Xiaolan again, then turned and left happily.

Zhang Xiaolan has been in the United States for more than a year, and she is not surprised by this kind of thing.

The two stopped talking, and started to dismantle the wooden box containing the parts together, and put the parts inside in the order of assembly on the ground.

After confirming that there were no problems with the number and specifications of the parts, the two began to assemble them officially.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Professor Watson walked in with a strange expression.Holding a magazine in his hand, he asked with a puzzled look: "Xiaoqiang, when did you start collaborating with others in academic research?"

Niu Xiaoqiang asked confusedly: "Have I cooperated with others in academic research? Why don't I know?"

Watson was confused, and hesitated: "Have you really not done academic research with others?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Of course not. I am busy doing business to make money every day, so I don't have the time to do academic research."

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