Age of Legends

Chapter 150 It's Me
As June came, several things happened. First, my father Zhang Zhonghua was actively taking a leave of absence from his job to start his own business and reunite with his previous team.

But it was not that easy. There were all kinds of family matters. Some people saw that he used to be the technical line supervisor and was capable. In addition, all the original FD29 line team members had been marginalized, so they were willing to work with Zhang Zhonghua again.

There are also people who are not optimistic about Zhang Zhonghua. His family thinks that at least he has money now and can still get by. If he takes a leave of absence and works poorly, all this time will be wasted.

Of course, these are relatively rare, and sometimes it may just be an excuse, simply because they do not recognize the prospects and do not want to get involved in this mess.

What made Zhang Zhonghua decide to do this was that he saw the ever-changing market situation and it seemed that there were opportunities ahead. In addition, the original FD29 technology line was just one step away from success. It was very likely that with a little more investment and promotion, it would come out. It would be a pity if it could not be realized.

If it were in the past, with a stable job and a set task plan, it would be impossible for Zhang Zhonghua to continue restarting FD29.

Now the department was closed down, and he, an engineer, became a warehouse manager. This reversal of circumstances made it difficult for him to adapt. If it weren't for the current opportunity, he might have been discouraged.

Another thing is that in the new government work report, it has been confirmed that the land behind Hexianju purchased by Zhang Chen's family will soon be occupied by the large international supermarket Carrefour.

When this information came out, Zhang Chen was also stunned for a moment, because he had the impression that this place was not where Carrefour was located, and the business district was still a level weaker there, so was this another change brought about by the flapping of his wings like a butterfly?
The value of Hexianju is rising rapidly. During the short time that Huang Huifen has been at the real estate center, people come to her every day with quotations to negotiate.

The price changes every day, and it has doubled to over 300,000!
Now, when people who exchange information in that area mention Sister Huang, they all feel like they are playing with eagles every day and then one day they get pecked in the eye.

The ridicule that used to secretly laugh at the joke has also died down. What is going on? Why did a multinational supermarket chain suddenly come in?

Previously, the government's land was left unused for various purposes, and was originally planned to be turned into a flower market.

As a result, policies changed at random. In this rapid period of time, it seemed that as soon as the Rongcheng Cultural Festival was over, the government opened a channel for attracting investment. Immediately, news came that several brands were negotiating with the government. During this period, the valuation of the Hexianju location soared, and finally Carrefour confirmed the contract to move in. Things immediately got out of control.

There were a few people who complained that the price of Hexianju was too high at the beginning, and now they are regretting it very much.

Because the price of the land there was originally low, nearly half the price of other lands, and such a large area, with a seven-meter high ceiling, can be used to build a mezzanine, which looks like a small building. Now with the entry of multinational supermarkets, it has immediately become a hot commodity.

Huang Huifen was also extremely excited. Zhang Chen had originally told her not to show off her wealth, as her family bought a house with money borrowed from their godfather, so it was best not to tell anyone. But who knew that the whole unit knew about it before long.

But knowing is just knowing. Later, everyone found out what kind of place is Hexianju. It is a place that is unlucky no matter what kind of business it is. No one else would want it. But Zhang Chen's family bought it. Haha, but then again, their family can take out more than 100,000 yuan at a time, so they still have some savings! After all, 100,000 yuan is quite high for an ordinary dual-income family in this year. Generally, at least one leader and a normal family can have so much.

Everyone was slandering Hexianju at first, but when the news came out, many people were devastated. It's simply that it's so unpleasant to see other people's fortunes coming better than your own!

But Huang Huifen was also a restless person. She even had the idea of swearing allegiance to the office politics that seemed to be in name only. She did not hide the news of the price increase at all. She felt very happy when she heard the women in the office complaining, "Maybe there is just not enough demand!" and "Others may not necessarily buy it! Several businesses that did this before have gone bankrupt!" with such sour expressions on their faces.

When he got home, he kept discussing with Zhang Zhonghua, "Why don't we sell Hexianju... 300,000... that's quite a high price!"

Zhang Zhonghua also had this idea. "I'm going to set up the company and continue to develop technology. Xi Mingrong's loan still needs to go through the process, and I have to pay for it myself first... I can't just promise everyone that their salaries will be paid as usual. At least these must be guaranteed, and at least some money must be used to start."

Zhang Chen saw that his parents wanted to sell Hexianju while the market was hot. In fact, he could not blame them. After all, the price of a "unlucky place" that no one was optimistic about had doubled. It was difficult for anyone to hold on to it. They all felt that it had almost reached the top and were afraid that the price would drop later.

Zhang Chen thought that this piece of land might be worth tens of millions in the future. If he sold it for 300,000 now, he might regret it later.

I asked, "Dad, what exactly is your fd29 project going to do? Can it be done with just a few hundred thousand dollars?"

"What are you thinking! Experimental equipment may cost several million, but if there is a government loan, the money will be no problem. We can also entrust a factory with instruments and equipment to help us conduct the tests. It's a little troublesome, but it saves money.

What to do specifically, so I ask you to read more.

Let me put it this way. The manufacturing technology of color picture tubes for color TVs is becoming more and more perfect. However, with everyone's pursuit of high-resolution and high-definition color TVs, it is necessary to develop high-resolution color display tubes.

However, the higher the definition of the color display tube, the smaller the beam spot size and morphology, the more serious the repulsion between the electron beams becomes, and the influence of the space charge effect must be considered.

We calculated the transverse electric field of the electron beam, solved Poisson's equation, calculated the space charge effect of the axisymmetric electron beam in drift space, and then used this data to design the electron gun. "

Zhang Zhonghua looked at the confused Zhang Chen and felt sad. When he graduated from the Industrial University, he was the second chief engineer in the factory and was very successful. However, Zhang Chen's grades were always the worst. He was really embarrassed.

Now when I look at my son's eyes full of curiosity, fortunately his grades have improved and he no longer has the clear and stupid look he had before.

“The so-called electron gun is the core technology for manufacturing color TV picture tubes.

The higher the electron gun technology of color TV manufacturers, the better the focusing performance, the clearer the color TV display, and the more restored the color. Therefore, the level of this technology is what is compared in high-definition flat-panel color TVs, which directly determines the core competitiveness of each color TV manufacturer! "

"If this is developed, it means that we will have excellent electron gun technology that can manufacture 29-inch flat-screen color TVs. Of course, this is only theoretical technology.

To actually manufacture it, we still need the assistance of color tube and color TV manufacturers, but once we have this theoretical technology, we can make a lot of money by selling it.”

Zhang Chen suddenly realized, "No wonder NanGuang Company can't strangle you. It turns out that this technology is purely based on calculations and experiments, and it is something stored in your brain."

"No wonder. It would be a shame if it was wasted like this."

"That's right, so I think we can find a suitable price now and sell the house. At least the family will have some money, and we can also pay back your godfather. Although your godfather has never asked for payment, we still owe him such a large sum of money, and your mother and I still feel burdened."

Zhang Zhonghua said.

Zhang Chen nodded. He stopped trying to persuade her. Of course, he would not allow his parents to sell the house to someone else, thus losing more opportunities for appreciation in the future.

He didn't necessarily want to get the most out of these assets, but the so-called right time was far from here. But his father did need money, so Zhang Chen planned to take a roundabout way.

Not long after, godfather Wang Bowen came to the door and said, "I heard that you are planning to sell Hexianju. The value of that place will appreciate in the future, and it will be much more than this price! Don't really do this to pay me back. If the price goes up in the future, you will regret it to death."

Zhang Zhonghua said, "Godfather, you know who we are after all these years. Now that we are planning to sell, it is also for the sake of my company. We originally planned to start a business, and we don't rely on these assets to make money. Now the most urgent task is to develop the technology. If the technology cannot be developed, even if the price increases tenfold in the future, it will be a pity for me!"

Wang Bowen nodded, "I know you. How about this? You sell Hexianju to me. I originally thought that the place is worth more than this. It has just doubled in value. I bought it for 100,000, and someone else bought it for 300,000. I will double it and give you 600,000. And you don't have to pay back the 100,000 I borrowed before. Even if I buy your Hexianju, it will have nothing to do with you as to how much it will increase in value in the future. Don't worry about it. How do you think about it?"

Huang Huifen's eyes widened. "Ah, so you bought it for 70, are you serious?!"

Zhang Zhonghua frowned, "Think it over carefully, godfather. If you really want to buy it at this price, I won't sell it to you! It's too high!"

"No, what's the relationship between us? Do I regret it? What are you thinking? I bought yours for 700,000 yuan. Even if it's high, it's considered supporting your entrepreneurship! Of course, I don't want your equity!"

As Wang Bowen spoke, he enjoyed the gazes from Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen, and at the end he even winked at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was helpless and let him install it. In fact, he just asked Wang Bowen to cover for him, and he used his own money to subsidize his parents.

Buy it yourself and say that it was bought by Wang Bowen. Keep it in your hands. On the one hand, the assets will not flow out, and your father will have funds for starting a business. Why not do it?

Wang Bowen didn't spend any money at all, but he gained a lot of face and was even proud of himself!
……

The news that Zhang Chen's family sold the Hexianju they had bought for 70 yuan for 10 yuan reached Li Degui. Liu Shuzhen was extremely shocked and talked to Huang Huifen on the phone for two hours, asking her about the whole story.

Although Li Degui has a high income and a wealthy family, he still doesn't have 700,000 yuan. His cousin Li Wei's performance in the third exam was worse than expected. The next exam is the college entrance examination in July. Zhang Chen doesn't want Li Wei to be affected by the news about his family, so he still wishes her good luck in the college entrance examination.

In her previous life, Li Wei's final college entrance examination score was at her usual level, with a score of 530, which just passed the first-tier line and ensured she was admitted to the provincial normal school, which was not bad.

Originally, Liu Shuzhen was not told about the purchase of Hexianju, or they just got some information from other channels and didn't take it seriously. But after it was confirmed, Liu Shuzhen dug up everything in a phone call with Huang Huifen, and finally realized the importance of Wang Bowen in the whole process.

Liu Shuzhen was also extremely envious, so she said, "You guys are really great, Zhang Chen has found a good godfather!"

The weather in Rongcheng in June is still sultry. "Zhang Chen, have you registered for QQ? What's your QQ number?"

Recently it has become popular among high school students to share QQ numbers with each other. Everyone chats on QQ and shares the freshness brought by this new social software.

Everyone carefully registered their numbers, connected, and then used the search for other people function to find someone who was using the software in another corner of the country at the time. They started polite greetings and chatting about all sorts of things, and then after pen pals, a thing called "netizen" came into being.

Many people from all over the world successfully shared their lives, joys, sorrows, and emotions through simple social software, forming the memory of the early Internet.

At this time in Yude High School, this trend naturally did not fall behind. Many students may not have mobile phones, but it is different with QQ numbers. In the afternoon or after school at noon, you can find a computer room, turn on the computer, register with the software, and then you will have a social account and can chat with people on it!

During that period, all the major Internet cafes in the surrounding area were packed with students, contributing another wave of traffic to the Internet cafes.

Zhao Tao was already preparing to open an Internet cafe. Zhao Tao had a very good business acumen, otherwise he would have become a big boss later. The game hall made money with the new model and immediately invested the money into a new track.

Zhao Tao also asked Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei if they wanted to buy shares. Wang Shuowei was rich, especially after Wang Bowen made money, Wang Shuowei became a rich second generation. Of course, it doesn’t mean that he was not a rich second generation before, but he was a limited rich second generation before. Now he has real money, and he has saved up 20,000 yuan, so he also bought shares. Zhang Chen didn’t buy, but Wang Shuowei bought. The Internet cafe makes money, but he can’t buy a big share to control it. If he can’t control it, that little profit is not necessary for him. Wang Shuowei is different. Zhao Tao’s Internet cafe is worth 300,000 yuan, and he invested 20,000 yuan. If he gets a share of the profits, it will be very considerable for him as a student.

But these are just drizzle to Zhang Chen.

Without saying too much, the revenue from the sales he and Wang Bowen made at several stores around the business district where Carrefour has settled has exceeded that of an Internet cafe.

Faced with the enthusiasm of many students in the class to exchange and inquire about QQ numbers, Zhang Chen also gave one out.

Of course, there were also quite a few boys in the class who asked the girls for their QQ numbers one by one, and then "took the opportunity" to ask Shen Nuoyi.

"Zheng Xue has given me her QQ number. Hey, Shen Nuoyi, please write one for me too. I'll add you when I get back!"

Most of them are actions that seem unintentional and done casually.

Shen Nuoyi unscrewed the pen cap and wrote down her QQ number which she had just applied for in neat handwriting.

Then someone just returned to his seat with a list with a Q number on it, and it was snatched away by the person next to him, who quickly copied it!

Later, Shen Nuo's QQ number was even spread to other classes.

Seeing those boys trying various ways to get Shen Nuo's QQ number, Zhang Chen smiled and did not ask for it.

Because of Shen Nuoyi's QQ number, when he called her that night, he urged her to register on the computer. Then when he got her fresh number, he was the first one to add her.

You guys...are still nervously writing in the note column when asking to add a friend that you are "Class XX, so-and-so" and "Let's be friends!", and then expect the other party to accept.

Little did she know that the person number one in her address book at that moment was me.
