Father Xiang pondered for a moment.
"Your plan is very good, but it is impossible to complete the acquisition with just this plan. Although you have indicated many conditions, it is still far from enough."
"Do you understand what I said?"
Zhou Chen nodded seriously. He naturally knew what Xiang's father meant. Although the Guoxing Textile Factory was rotten, it had the brand, factory, mature production line, workers, etc.
It can be said that as long as there is sufficient funds, the textile factory can resume production at any time.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation, but starting work does not mean there will be profits, it may also result in losses.
This is also the biggest reason why leaders are unwilling to continue investing, because after calculation, it is simply not worth the cost.
Fortunately, he was prepared and quietly took out another stack of papers from his bag and placed them on the table.
When Mr. Xiang saw the papers, he asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Zhou Chen said: "This is a small invention I researched and developed myself."
"Gizmo?"
Father Xiang picked up the papers curiously and read them one by one. After a while, his brows furrowed.
"what is this?"
Zhou Chen said: "This is the net-type atomizer I invented myself."
"What is a mesh atomizer?" Father Xiang looked confused. He had really never heard of this thing.
Zhou Chen explained: "A net nebulizer is a machine for atomization therapy. Atomization therapy is to use an atomization device to disperse the drug into tiny droplets or particles, suspend them in the gas, and enter the respiratory tract and lungs to achieve the purpose of humidifying the airway and treating respiratory inflammation."
Mr. Xiang didn't understand this professional stuff, but he understood part of it.
"You mean, this is used to treat illnesses?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the current treatment for respiratory diseases in China is basically taking medicine and getting an IV drip, and nebulizer therapy is another treatment method. This method has already appeared abroad, but it is basically still not seen in China."
"For many people, such as the elderly and infants, taking medicine and receiving intravenous drips are not convenient, but atomization therapy can meet the needs of these people. They only need to inhale the gaseous medicine through breathing to achieve the therapeutic effect."
"And these drawings are the mechanism diagrams of the mesh atomizer. I can guarantee that this is absolutely the most advanced mesh atomizer in the world. Even foreign atomizers are not as good as the one I drew."
Father Xiang became more and more serious as he listened. Although he didn't know much about medical matters, hearing Zhou Chen's oral account of being ahead of the whole world took on a different meaning.
"Are you sure this stuff really works?"
Zhou Chen assured: "Uncle Xiang, this is my specialty. I can guarantee with my life that besides me, you are the only one who has seen this drawing."
This is the result of his staying up all night the night before.
He used to be a pediatrician and had been a pediatrician for decades, so he was naturally very familiar with this type of nebulizer that is often used by infants and young children.
This thing has become very common decades later, but in this era, especially in China, it is definitely a huge invention.

Chapter 493: Failed to show off and got slapped in the face
After carefully looking at the pattern on the paper again, Xiang's father's expression became more solemn. He didn't know anything about this kind of thing and couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.
But judging from Zhou Chen’s expression, it doesn’t seem fake.
Thinking about this for a long time, Father Xiang put down the blueprint and asked, "Do you want to use this thing to exchange for Guoxing Textile Factory? No, if it is really as you said, the value of this thing is greater than Guoxing Textile Factory, isn't it not worth it?"
No matter how important the textile factory is, it is just a mess that may go bankrupt at any time. But if this atomizer is successful, it will definitely be a good thing for the country and the people.
As a state official, Xiang's father had a very clear understanding of what was more important.
Zhou Chen said: "Uncle Xiang, you misunderstood. I have never thought of using this thing to exchange for Guoxing Textile Factory. This is not in line with the rules, nor is it in line with my ideas."
"Then what are you doing?"
Of course Xiang's father knew that it would be against the rules to do so, but Zhou Chen showed the thing to him, what did that mean?
Zhou Chen replied: "If I wanted to make money from this thing, I could apply for a patent internationally, but I didn't do that because I don't want to use it to make money. I plan to donate it to the country for free."
"Donate it to the country for free?"
Father Xiang's face was horrified. This thing was definitely more valuable than the textile factory. Zhou Chen was actually willing to donate it to the country for free. It was really beyond his expectation.
"Yes, Uncle Xiang, to be honest, I don't care much about money. As long as I can have a certain living standard, that's enough. I studied medicine because I saw that domestic medicine was looked down upon by foreigners, so I wanted to revitalize national medicine."
"You may think I am boasting when I say this, but this is really my revenge. This net atomizer is the first medical item I invented with great effort. I want to present it to the country through your hands, Uncle Xiang. I just hope that I can get some preferential treatment in the acquisition of Guoxing Textile Factory."
While Zhou Chen was speaking, Xiang's father kept staring at Zhou Chen's eyes. He found that Zhou Chen's eyes were clear and did not seem to be lying.
However, he has lived for so many years and has become very experienced. How could he believe it just because of a few words from Zhou Chen?
"From what you said, if we can't acquire the Guoxing Textile Factory, we won't donate this to the country?"
"No, it will still be donated for free, but it will be donated through Jinling Medical College."
Father Xiang understood that Zhou Chen meant that by donating the mesh atomizer through him, he could be credited with a merit in exchange for his help in acquiring the Guoxing Textile Factory.
"You are so young, but you have so many tricks up your sleeve. If you weren't classmates with Nan Fang, I would really doubt where you came from."
Zhou Chen smiled. Although Xiang's father said this, his expression was smiling and he did not mean to blame him.
"Uncle Xiang, what do you mean?"
Father Xiang said: "This aspect of the matter is not under my direct jurisdiction, but I can recommend someone to you."
"Thank you uncle."
Zhou Chen was overjoyed. It was the best thing that Xiang's father was willing to help.
"I am willing to help you, not because of this atomizer, nor for any other reason, but because of your plan. If it succeeds, I hope you will not go back on your words and must provide those workers with a good working environment."
“Uncle Xiang, don’t worry, if this succeeds, the workers will be our family, and I will never let them down.”
"I hope you can do what you say. I will supervise you."
Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time about the Guoxing Textile Factory. Before leaving, Xiang's father handed the drawings to Zhou Chen.
"Take this back with you. It shouldn't be contributed to the country through my hands."
Zhou Chen was filled with admiration when he heard this. Although the net-type atomizer he invented was not a big invention, it could definitely play a huge role in this era. The fact that Xiang's father could leave such a great contribution unused showed that he was truly selfless.
"I understand. I was abrupt."
Seeing Zhou Chen and his father walk out of the study peacefully, Xiang Nanfang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she also believed that her father would not make things difficult for Zhou Chen, she was still worried, and felt a little inexplicably nervous.
"Dad, Zhou Chen, have you guys finished talking?"
Zhou Chen smiled, while Xiang's father said dissatisfiedly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, so don't worry about it."
Xiang Nanfang stuck out his tongue, and Father Xiang said to Zhou Chen, "It's getting late, we won't keep you here, so be careful when you go back."
"Thank you, Uncle Xiang."
Zhou Chen said goodbye to Xiang's father and mother, and then prepared to leave. Xiang Nanfang followed him, ready to see him out.
Just as I reached the door, Xiang Beifang, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came over with a handbag in his hand.
"Zhou Chen, wait."
Zhou Chen stopped and Xiang Nanfang frowned, looking at Xiang Beifang with dissatisfaction, not understanding what his elder brother was up to.
Xiang Beifang walked up to Zhou Chen with a smile on his face, but considering his burly appearance, the smile looked fake no matter how you looked at it.
"Brother Xiang, is there something wrong?"
Xiang Beifang said: "This is the first time we meet. As your elder brother, this is a gift from me to you. See if you like it."
As he spoke, he raised the handbag in his hand. Zhou Chen took a look inside and saw two bottles of red wine. He didn't quite understand what Xiang Beifang meant.
Is there any trick here?
It's not that he was judging others by his own standards, it's just that Xiang Beifang's attitude just now was not friendly, and his smile now seemed a bit fake.
Zhou Chen also showed a fake smile and declined politely: "Brother Xiang, you are too polite. I won't accept gifts without merit. Forget about the things."
"How can that be possible? This is red wine, a rare commodity that ordinary people can't get their hands on. You must have never seen it before. Take it home and try it. Maybe you'll like it."
These words were spoken calmly, but they revealed a tone of superiority. Before Zhou Chen did anything, Xiang Nanfang was already angry.
"Xiang Beifang."
Xiang Beifang looked at Xiang Nanfang in confusion and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Can't I give Zhou Chen some red wine to get closer to him?"
"you."
Xiang Nanfang was very angry, but it was difficult for him to refute. Even though Xiang Beifang's words were sarcastic, he was indeed giving a gift.
Zhou Chen was not angry. Instead, he showed a half-smile and looked at the red wine packaging with pretended curiosity.
"Brother Xiang, what winery produces this red wine? Lafite, Latour, Romanee-Conti, Haut-Brion?"
Xiang Beifang, who was waiting to see Zhou Chen make a fool of himself, froze on his face when he heard Zhou Chen's words.
He only knows about red wine, but if you ask him what winery it is, he has no idea. As for Lafite, Latour and so on, he has never even heard of them.
Seeing Xiang Beifang speechless, Zhou Chen did not laugh at him, but said calmly: "I don't like red wine very much, so leave this wine for Brother Xiang to taste. Brother Xiang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Xiang Nanfang sent Zhou Chen outside and said rather embarrassedly: "Zhou Chen, my elder brother, I am so sorry."
Zhou Chen said without any concern: "It's okay, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to contact your father, and this matter might have been even more troublesome, so you helped me a lot."
Xiang Nanfang then smiled and returned to his true nature: "Since you said that, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
"Of course no problem, you choose the location, I'm at home lately, just call me when you've made up your mind."
"Then it's settled."
"Well, go back. It's quite cold outside."
"Then ride slowly on your way back. The road is slippery."
"Then I'll leave first, bye."
"Bye-Bye."
…………
When Xiang Nanfang returned home, he saw his elder brother sitting alone on the sofa, staring at the red wine on the table, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, are you still researching red wine?"
Xiang Beifang's face turned pale. He had just failed to strike back at Zhou Chen, but was instead ridiculed. His face felt like it had been slapped.
"Nan Fang, didn't you say that the boy was from an ordinary family, a worker's son? How come he knows about something as scarce as red wine? And those wineries he mentioned, are they red wine brands? Why haven't I heard of them?"
Although red wine has been introduced into China a long time ago, it is not mainstream in China at this time. Since it is a foreign product, it is very difficult to buy.
He was right. In this era, ordinary people probably have never heard of red wine. He only knew about red wine because it was given to him by a friend.
But compared to the soft red wine, he still prefers the stronger white wine, so naturally he won’t research any red wine brands, wineries or so on.
As a result, he failed to show off today and got slapped in the face, which made him very unhappy.
Xiang Nanfang: "I don't know much about it either, but I advise you to keep a low profile in the future. Zhou Chen is not like your bad friends. You are no match for him at all."
This was her true feelings. She had known Zhou Chen for so many years and was very aware of Zhou Chen's intelligence. Her elder brother Xiang Beifang was more like a reckless man. Except for his better background, he was no match for Zhou Chen in other aspects.
She didn't let her elder brother provoke Zhou Chen because it was also for his own good.
"Humph."
Xiang Beifang snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. Thinking about how he was first suppressed by Zhou Chen's strength and then by his IQ and knowledge, how could he be willing to accept this?
"Nan Fang, you are not really in love with that boy, are you? He is just from an ordinary working-class family. He is not worthy of you, and your parents will not agree."
Xiang Nanfang glared at him and said, "Don't worry about my business. Just take care of your own business."
Of course she knew what she was thinking. She had been in the capital for nearly half a year and had met many outstanding peers, but she was still full of curiosity about Zhou Chen, which showed that Zhou Chen had already occupied a certain position in her heart.
But Zhou Chen didn’t know what he meant to her and didn’t show it at all, so she didn’t dare to reveal her feelings easily.
When Xiang Beifang saw his sister's look, he knew that his persuasion had no effect. He wanted to say more, but his sister didn't give him the chance and went upstairs directly.
"If you don't listen to me, you will regret it someday."
…………
With the help of Xiang's father, Zhou Chen began to busy himself with acquisitions during the holiday, taking his parents to visit officials and discuss acquisitions...
