Chapter 178 Cunning and Honest
"Before you ask me, let me ask you a question."
Uncle Pei looked at Pan Yinian with suspicion, "You really haven't figured out how to make money?"
Pan Yinian was stunned. "What makes money?"
Pan Yinian didn't understand.
Uncle Pei, "That Ji Yunchang, your system R&D laboratory, you really haven't figured out how to make a profit?"
"That thing?"
Pan Yinian blinked twice and then became depressed again. "Let's just pay for it first! There's no hope for at least three to five years."
"What? Just adding money? It'll take another three to five years?" Grandpa Pei was so angry that he slapped Pan Yinian on the forehead again. "You unlucky thing, even if you don't make money, you can't lose money!"
"What else can we do if we don't lose money? The payback period for that thing is just like that. Besides, even if we develop it, it's not certain to make money. In fact, I never even thought about making money with that thing." At this point, Pan Yinian's temper flared up, and he said with a twist of his neck, "Besides, this is not about whether it makes money or not. It's about finding a way out for the domestic computer industry and avoiding being strangled in the future..."
Snapped!
Uncle Pei was so angry that he slapped Pan Yinian again. "What's the matter? Are you still proud? Is this what I'm talking about?"
Uncle Pei was so angry that he took out his pipe and tried to light it several times but failed.
Pan Yinian was also angry.
I finally get to show my patriotism and express my feelings, so why do you hit people?
At the beginning, you also hinted to me many times to support Ji Yunchang.
At this moment, Pan Yinian was stuck in a dead end.
The prophetic advantage brought by rebirth provided him with convenience, but also limited his thinking.
Pan Yinian instinctively believed that Ji Yunchang and his system development team were like lotus flowers that would eventually bloom after years of accumulation. For the emerging network, they were more of a future reserve, a technical support when necessary, and an unprofitable department.
even,
In his original conception and planning, he only regarded this team as a cover to enhance the foundation and depth.
Let’s put it bluntly.
Pan Yinian is just an amateur.
Just like us ordinary people, we always fantasize about being reborn and living like this.
But if he were to be reborn, apart from using his foresight to engage in speculation, he could only look into the future and give a general direction.
If we really put it into practice, there is no other possibility except being confused.
Su Ying suppressed her heartache and complaints, snatched the lighter from Uncle Pei's hand, lit it for him, and urged him, "Uncle Pei, you've hit me and scolded me, now it's time to talk about what to do!"
"Humph……"
Grandpa Pei took a deep breath, nodded at Su Ying, then at Pan Yinian, and said, "You two are usually quite smart, but why do you both act so stubbornly? Let me ask you, are these IT and computers considered high-tech these days?"
Pan Yinian, "Yes, it counts, of course it counts!"
Uncle Pei asked, "Is your Xinsheng Network considered a high-tech company?"
Pan Yinian, "Okay!"
"That's right!" Grandpa Pei glared and roared, "Ji Yunchang! A master from the National Institute of Technology, a research and development team of hundreds of people, the country's top system research and development laboratory, a national-level laboratory, what does this mean? In Jiangnan Province, in Jinling, even if he is not the only one, he is definitely one of the top three, right?"
Pan Yinian nodded blankly, "It should...it should be possible."
"Then what are you still standing there for?" Grandpa Pei's eyes widened in anger. "Go to the government and ask for policies and subsidies! A national-level R&D team settled in Jinling. Do you know how great a political achievement this is? It's much more impressive than if they had attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in investment."
"What else are you thinking about?"
"What's missing? What's lacking? What difficulties are there? Why don't you think about it quickly and make a list?"
Pan Yinian, “…”
Damn, it was given away for free again.
Stunned, Pan Yinian slapped his forehead, rolled his eyes, took out his cell phone and called Ji Yunchang.
After a while, the call was connected.
"Master Ji, it's me, Pan Yinian."
"Mr. Ji, can you come over a few days early?"
"It's nothing. I just couldn't help myself and helped the veterans and my classmates vent their anger, and I ended up offending them. The restaurant was vandalized, and the new student network is having some trouble. I'm afraid that if you don't step in, the system development lab won't be registered."
"Also, for the safety of the system research and development lab, I'm thinking of moving you to another location. After all, there are too many people in Fallen Street, and the risks are too high. But my side has been completely drained, and I'm having financial difficulties. I'd like you to talk to the relevant departments and help resolve this issue."
"Also, why does the talent introduction policy only benefit foreigners? We should benefit from it too!"
"When the time comes, please help me with taxes, publicity, and other things, and leave more research and development funds for the laboratory..."
As Pan Yinian muttered, the breathing sounds on the other end of the phone became heavier and heavier.
Pan Yinian, feeling something was wrong, said the last sentence and quickly put the phone into Uncle Pei's ear.
"Pan Yinian, you idiot!"
"Have you been planning this all along? You're using this as a pretext to pull off a big move, aren't you?"
"Tell me the truth, do you really want to build a system?"
Ji Yunchang roared like thunder, making Pan Yinian's ears hurt.
Uncle Pei's ears were buzzing and even his pipe fell off in fright.
Pan Yinian, "It's true, it's true, I swear. If I lie to you, Liu Xiangxi will give birth to a son without an anus..."
Master Pei, “…”
Su Ying and Chen Ningning, "..."
Ji Yunchang, "..."
This little bastard, does he think I'm stupid?
Ji Yunchang regained his luck and planned to make another big bet.
But Pan Yinian's next words made all the anger in his heart disappear.
"Mr. Ji, I'm not lying to you. I really have no other choice. The account is empty. If you really can't spare my face, the only option left for me is to sell the Internet cafe." Pan Yinian said half-truthfully.
"Selling the internet cafes? No, absolutely not. Not a single one of those six internet cafes can be sold."
Ji Yunchang's anger subsided, but he also became anxious.
Those six directly-operated stores are not only the first wave of test fields for their laboratory, but also the source of funds for their future research and development system.
If this is sold, what will happen to their system?
Pan Yinian pretended to be embarrassed, "But..."
"No buts. If I say it can't be sold, then it can't be sold. I'll book the plane ticket now..."
Boom!
Ji Yunchang hung up the phone directly.
Across from Pan Yinian, Uncle Pei looked at him with a bad face as he was picking his ears. "You little bastard, are you getting too bold?"
"No, no, I was just careless in a hurry."
"Bullshit! I think you're doing this on purpose. Don't run away. Try running. Believe it or not, I'll rush back to the capital and corner Ji Yunchang in your house."
"You won't."
"I can……"
Looking at the noisy old man and the child, Su Ying and Chen Ningning breathed a sigh of relief and bright smiles appeared on their faces.
After Uncle Pei vented his anger by hitting Pan Yinian twice, he started to give Pan Yinian some naughty advice.
"You kid, I really don't know what to say to you."
"You say you're honest, but when it comes to cheating people, you're never soft-hearted."
"You're cunning, but you always do things that are thankless."
Pan Yinian was speechless, "I'm not that bad, am I?"
"Don't be so unconvinced. Look at what's written on your list. If you were even a little bit cunning, you wouldn't just want this little..."
