Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 286 Merchants
The old man watched as Yang Zhenyu skillfully installed the printer and then successfully printed out a page of test text.

"Okay, go out. I have some work to do so I can try out your computer." The old man waved his hand and said.

"No, teacher, you can't use it like this. I haven't taught you how to use it yet." Yang Zhenyu said he was hurt. They started to dismantle the bridge before they even crossed the river.

"I'm not blind. What you wrote here is very clear. I can use it myself." The old man said, pointing to several icons on the monitor.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll be leaving first. Another group of guests will be coming soon, and I have to go back to receive them." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Go ahead." The old man waved his hand and said.

"Xiao Yang, where are you going?" When Yang Zhenyu was walking out, his master's wife just came back from outside.

"Ah, Master's wife, I'll go back to the company first. There's still some work over there that I need to take care of." Yang Zhenyu said awkwardly.

The old couple were really kind to him, and whenever they came to their house, they would definitely stay for dinner.

However, it really doesn't work today. I was thinking of slipping away before my master's wife came back, but I still ran into her.

"What kind of work is it that requires you to go back at this time?" said the master's wife, looking at the time.

"Master's wife, I really have work to do. Several important customers are coming, and I have to receive them in person." Yang Zhenyu said with a bitter face.

"So busy?" said the master's wife, frowning.

"It's really busy. You don't know this until you run your own factory. Once you run your own factory, you will be too busy to handle it. There are all kinds of things to deal with. What's more, I'm just starting out here and lack a lot of management talents. A lot of work falls on me." Yang Zhenyu said with a bitter face.

"Okay, since you really have something to do, I won't keep you here any longer. I'll ask for you later to see where you can find suitable talents." The master's wife nodded.

"Thank you, Master's wife. You are much better than my teacher." Yang Zhenyu hurriedly thanked her.

"wait a moment."

"I'll give it to you." The master's wife handed a can of tea to Yang Zhenyu.

You know, not everyone can get a gift from the teacher's wife. Only students the couple value can get it. And among all the students, Yang Zhenyu is the best in academics and career, and he is also the best in the old couple.

"Thank you, Master's wife. I'll leave first." Yang Zhenyu said happily while holding the things in his arms.

After leaving the old man's house, Yang Zhenyu went back to the factory without stopping. There really were a group of important guests coming today.

"Mr. Lou, long time no see." Yang Zhenyu shook hands with Lou Yeqin.

"Mr. Yang, long time no see. I never thought that I would come back alive one day." Lou Yeqin said happily.

At this time, Lou Yeqin was no longer the same person he was when he was young. After decades of ups and downs, he had become a seventy-year-old man.

"Looking at your health, you seem to be busy. You should live a stable life in this city from now on." Yang Zhenyu also said with a smile.

"Haha, that makes sense. This is my home." Lou Yeqin laughed.

"Come on, follow me into the factory and take a look." Yang Zhenyu pulled Lou Yeqin into the factory.

After a visit, Lou Yeqin was full of praise for the Chuyang Factory.

"Mr. Yang, your factory looks very much like a modern factory. In some aspects, it is even more advanced than many foreign factories I have seen. I have to admire it," said Lou Yeqin.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Many of my big factories are much better than mine. My factory is at most one of the more advanced ones in the country." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Mr. Lou, I want to ask you something. Do you have any connections in the United States?" Yang Zhenyu asked. "I do have some connections. What's the matter? Do you want to develop in the United States?" Lou Yeqin nodded.

"No, I just want to register some patents in the United States." Yang Zhenyu said.

"This is not a big problem, but it will cost a lot of money," said Lou Yeqin.

"Money is not a problem, as long as we can get the patent." Yang Zhenyu said.

"That's no problem. Patents are easy to get." Lou Yeqin nodded.

In the United States, many problems can be easily solved as long as you are willing to spend money.

In fact, what Yang Zhenyu wants is the constraints of the PCT treaty. Now the country has not joined it, so it is necessary to register with the contracting parties. Among them, the United States is the strongest.

In addition, another point is that the operating systems are mostly in the United States, so if there is a lawsuit, there will still be more cases in the United States.

Therefore, Yang Zhenyu felt that it would be more appropriate to register in the United States. He might even have to file a lawsuit with companies like Microsoft. After all, the Chuyang system contains some content that Microsoft will use in the future and cannot avoid.

Yang Zhenyu felt relieved to let Lou Yeqin handle the patent issue. The reason was that Lou Yeqin was a businessman with a patriotic complex.

He is willing to do things that are beneficial to the country, and the patents in Yang Zhenyu's hands are beneficial to the country to a large extent.

"Let's go to He's Restaurant for lunch today. It's the restaurant opened by Master He, the former chef from the factory." Yang Zhenyu said, pulling Lou Yeqin.

"Master He actually opened his own restaurant?" Lou Yeqin asked curiously.

"That's right. Before, all places were streamlining their businesses. Master He's entire canteen was also streamlined. So, with no other choice, the couple opened a restaurant. Business was booming, and many units hosted their banquets there." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"I see." Lou Yeqin nodded.

Lou Yeqin is still very concerned about the changes in the mainland, especially after the wind direction changed. He knows clearly that many factories are facing bankruptcy or closure.

If this happens, a large number of workers will lose their jobs and will have to find their own way out in the future.

"Zhenyu is here. The private room you asked for is ready. Come with me." Qin Huairu came forward when she saw Yang Zhenyu and his men coming in.

"We can go there by ourselves. It's not the first time we come here. Please help me call He Yuzhu." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Okay, then you guys go over there, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Qin Huairu nodded without asking any more questions, after all, they were so familiar with each other.

"Who is this?" Lou Yeqin looked at Yang Zhenyu in confusion.

"This is a neighbor from our yard. He works as a manager for Master He and is in charge of all the big and small matters in the store." Yang Zhenyu explained.

"Oh, I thought it was the boss's wife." Lou Yeqin said with sudden realization.

"The boss's wife doesn't come here usually. She's at home looking after the kids. But they might open a branch soon. By then I'm afraid the boss's wife will have to come out and keep an eye on things," Yang Zhenyu explained.

"I see. Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten Chef He's food for many years," Lou Yeqin recalled.

"Mr. Lou is going back to the mainland to invest this time, and he will definitely not be able to come back in the short term. So, in the future, let alone the old cities, you can try to taste snacks from all over the country as much as possible, so that the trip will not be in vain." Yang Zhenyu suggested.

"Your suggestion is good, but my physical condition doesn't allow me to taste them all. I can only pick up what I want to eat." Lou Yeqin shook his head.
