The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 590 Rice Porridge

After being busy for a while, Liu Hua felt exhausted, so he rested at home for two days. When he was bored, he would watch TV. He could still watch TV dramas during this period, but after that, the dramas would be a mess and unbearable to watch.

"That's not a fifth-generation fighter jet. It's a third-generation fighter jet, a modified J-10."

Liu Hua stumbled upon a program and saw the Director spouting nonsense.

"Our most advanced aircraft right now is the J-10. We are still far from being able to develop a fifth-generation fighter, so we can only make certain improvements on this basis." The admiral said magnanimously, "As for that blurry photo you released before, it was also a modified J-10. There are many research institutes and aircraft manufacturing companies, and everyone has their own research."

The host asked curiously, "Some people say that's our country's new type of carrier-based aircraft."

"Carrier-based aircraft? Our country doesn't even have an aircraft carrier, so where would we get carrier-based aircraft?" the admiral retorted. "What would we need carrier-based aircraft for? We don't have any plans to build an aircraft carrier right now."

This statement is half true and half false. We do not have any plans to build aircraft carriers, because our current aircraft carriers cannot be called "construction," but rather "repair," repairing a half-finished, broken-down product into a finished product.

"General Zhang, when will our country be able to have its own aircraft carrier?"

The admiral shook his head: "An aircraft carrier is a very complex system engineering project. Our country's shipbuilding industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, but there is still a certain gap to bridge if we want to build an aircraft carrier. Moreover, at present, our country's strategy is a defensive navy, mainly a coastal defense force, and the naval aviation is mainly land-based. Therefore, we cannot have an aircraft carrier in the short term, let alone carrier-based aircraft."

If the Americans knew the truth, they'd be furious and yelling, "I don't believe you! You old bastard!"

Perhaps because our J-10 aircraft was developed earlier, the US has accelerated the production of their F-22s considerably, and it is expected that all final orders will be delivered by the second half of next year.

Just then, an economic crisis hit, and if we just fanned the flames and ignited a fire, we might be able to shut down the F-22 production line next year.

However, to be honest, our fifth-generation fighter jet is more advanced than the F-22, so even if the US doesn't dismantle the F-22 production line, it won't have much of an impact on us.

Moreover, we can immediately begin testing sixth-generation fighter jets, which will put the US in a desperate situation. After all, they are running out of steam. They have already produced fifth-generation fighter jets with such difficulty, so sixth-generation fighter jets are destined to die in the womb.

Just as Liu Hua was about to go back to work, Lei Jun came to visit, so Liu Hua decided to take an extra day off and have a good chat with his grand-apprentice.

"Master, I have already resigned from Kingsoft."

“Kingsoft just went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last month,” Liu Hua said in surprise. “You resigned less than a month later. Kingsoft’s stock must have plummeted.”

"I have resigned from the position of CEO, but I will retain the position of Vice Chairman of the Board," Lei Jun said with a smile. "The company's stock price is currently quite stable."

"What do you want to do after you resign?" "I want to start my own business." Lei Jun said with a smile, "Actually, I've thought a lot about this over the past year. I basically handed over the work of the last year before the company went public to my deputy, so the company was able to make a smooth transition. The board members of Kingsoft also know my thoughts and are understanding of me."

"You're such a kind person," Liu Hua praised. "What industry are you planning to work in?"

“Didn’t Apple launch smartphones?” Lei Jun said with a smile. “I also plan to start with smartphones and then take charge of building an Internet of Things company in other industries.”

Liu Hua smiled and nodded: "Your work over the past ten years has not been in vain. Many college students start their own businesses as soon as they leave school, only to end up getting hurt. I have faith in you because of your experience, network, and capital accumulation over the past ten years."

Lei Jun smiled and said, "Actually, I have already completed the construction of my team this year, and I will soon start working on the new mobile phone. I will set up the company headquarters in Beijing, and I will often come to bother you. You mustn't find me annoying."

"Come on, it'll be more lively with more people." Liu Hua said with a smile, "I can't offer you much help. If you have funding problems, I can help you. Also, BOE's screens are world-class, and having shares in BOE can also help you with that. In addition, our company's battery chips are all open to you."

Liu Hua thought for a moment and said, "There's also the mobile phone camera. Sony is currently the world's best mobile phone camera manufacturer. Seagull in our country is not much worse than Sony. I happen to have a connection with Seagull, so I can put in a good word for you."

Lei Jun clapped his hands: "They say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. With just a little help, you've solved most of my problems."

"Stop joking around," Liu Hua said with a smile. "I'm still waiting for your phone. I won't use a smartphone until your phone comes out."

"The pressure is immense," Lei Jun said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll definitely get you using a smartphone as soon as possible."

Liu Hua tapped the table: "Oh right, and the mobile phone operating system too. I own the copyright to the Linux operating system, and I'm licensing it to the world for free. This system is very secure. With a few modifications, it can be used as a mobile phone operating system. I'll license it to you as well."

Lei Jun almost wanted to pick him up, hug the old man in front of him, and kiss him twice. He hadn't even figured out his own phone yet, and Liu Hua had already solved 60-70% of the problems for him. It would be a miracle if his company didn't succeed.

Lei Jun came from an ordinary family with no powerful connections. He had to work his way up step by step on his own. But now he was experiencing the benefits of having powerful connections. He was not a rich second-generation, but he was a rich second-generation. Even the average rich second-generation did not receive as much support as he did.

"Teacher, my company will officially open the day after tomorrow. I will cook a pot of rice porridge then, and all my partners will drink this bowl of rice porridge together. You must come!"

The rice company was officially established. Lei Jun cooked a pot of rice porridge using Jingxi rice. The rice cooker wasn't very good, and Lei Jun's porridge-cooking skills weren't very good either, so the porridge was thick and sticky.

"Come on, drink this bowl of rice porridge. From now on, we'll be brothers fighting in the same trench." Lei Jun raised the small bowl in his hand and said with a smile, "Drink this bowl, and may everything go smoothly for us in the future."

While drinking the porridge, Liu Hua complained, "It's so thick, you don't consider an old man like me at all. Besides, you don't even have some pickled vegetables with your porridge. Can't you even afford Liubiju?"
