Chapter 185 Overseas Deployment (3k)

"Big brother!" Lou Xiao'e jumped up and ran over. In most cases, she was a bit like a little child.

As Lou Xiao'e was shaking him, he stretched out his hand and said to Gao Zhendong with a smile, "Zhendong, hello, I'm Lou Shouxing."

Brother Lou Xiao'e, Gao Zhendong was quite curious about this man who was pushed to Hong Kong Island to expand the territory because of his ideas. He had only heard of his name but had never seen him.

Gao Zhendong asked himself that if he was in his position, he would not be able to do as well as he did. Of course, if he was in his position, he certainly would not be able to do as well as he did.

I still have some admiration in my heart, I smiled and stretched out my hands to hold the other person's hands: "Hello, brother, I am Gao Zhendong, you have worked hard over there."

Lou Shouxing shook his head and smiled, "It's not that hard. The conditions over there are much better than here. I went there and enjoyed it, haha."

But it's much more dangerous than here, Gao Zhendong thought.

At this time, Lou's father came over and said, "Haha, you all know each other? Then I won't introduce you. It's the New Year, Shouxing should come back to reunite with us. You are all young people, so you should be able to talk to each other."

A few people sat down and talked about everything inside and outside.

Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e called everyone else out, and they themselves took charge of serving tea and water.

After all, what these men said together might be a little sensitive, and it would not be a good thing if others heard it.

After some conversation, Gao Zhendong and Lou Shouxing both had a good impression of each other.

What was slightly different from what Gao Zhendong had expected was that the feeling that came from Lou Shouxing's words and deeds was not that of a purely profit-driven or profit-first businessman, although he was indeed a good hand at business.

On the contrary, it feels a bit like the progressive youths in the capital before liberation. Come to think of it, before liberation, the biggest military leader guarding the capital was surrounded by progressive youths, so it is not surprising that there are more progressive youths in other places.

I think if I didn't have some ideals in my heart, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong Island.

If Gao Zhendong helped the Lou family with the plan once or twice, then his persistence later on would probably not have allowed him to do it if he had no ideals in his heart, or he would have just done it perfunctorily.

However, the feeling that Gao Zhendong gave Lou Shouxing was completely unexpected. This future brother-in-law was not like what he had imagined, a scholar who turned a deaf ear to the outside world and studied step by step all the way. He exuded the honesty and pedantry that are unique to young intellectuals.

Rather, he is more like a decisive fighter, but he also has appropriate skills and methods.

But when he thought about Gao Zhendong's experience, he felt relieved. Before he went to school, he was a soldier and a grassroots commander at that. It was normal for him to be different from ordinary college students.

The main reason was that Gao Zhendong's continuous research results and writings left such a deep impression on him that he forcibly distorted another side of Gao Zhendong in his imagination to the point where it was always overlooked.

I don't think the person who could make such a series of arrangements for his family is someone who sticks to the rules and is inflexible.

This made Lou Shouxing very happy. His sister's personality needed someone like this to protect her and push her forward at the right time so that she could shine.

As we talked, we couldn't help but talk about things in Hong Kong and the outside world.

Lou Shouxing talked about the situation of his own company: "Zhendong, Zhenxing Electronics is doing very well now. Both the transistor radio and the tape recorder you gave us are basically in short supply. Especially the tape recorder. If the sales of transistor radios are mainly targeted at Southeast Asia, then the tape recorder is basically for all customers."

Father Lou also smiled and said, "In this regard, the patent protection that Zhendong requested from the beginning played a big role."

Gao Zhendong smiled: "This can only be done in Hong Kong Island. It is useless to do it in China. Even if we have patent protection in China, we can only sell it to economic aid countries. These countries don't care about patents with you, and they can't even provide large-scale patent protection. It happens that Hong Kong Island is our window to the West, and we can drive a wedge into their country from here."

Lou Shouxing also laughed and said, "That's right. Since we're going to let John Bull keep this tiny place for now, how can we not let them pay a price?"

This is also the reason for the current situation in Hong Kong. We need this window, and it is a window that no party can close.

The United States wanted to close it, but John Bull refused. The Russians wanted to close it, but John Bull still refused. They didn't have to put in any effort and just opened the window easily.

Otherwise, with the military advantage ten years ago, it would have been impossible to defeat distant places, but it would have been easy for them to defeat this tiny place close to the inland. With John Bull's strength, there was no chance of luck at all if he wanted to compete in this place.

After S1, John Bull fought a land battle with the Gallic Rooster, but his fighting spirit was just average. In the war of founding our country, John Bull was captured by the lone hero Mr. Liu with 1 fully armed prisoners, and was nailed to the pillar of shame.

All I can say is that the older generation has a long-term vision. They don’t seek verbal advantage, don’t care about a single city or a single place, but instead consider the overall gains and losses.

Lou Shouxing turned to Gao Zhendong and said, "Zhendong, after this batch of work, should we withdraw?"

In fact, he had some vague ideas in his mind, but he needed to discuss it with his family. He had read the story of "Chong'er's Peace Outside".

"Withdraw? Why do you want to withdraw?"

Father Lou said: "The situation here has greatly improved. The information I have heard from various channels is very favorable. Your layout has been completely effective, so is it..."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Uncle, big brother, why is it that when we rescue people, we often send out resources far beyond what is actually needed?"

After hearing this, the two of them fell into deep thought.

Gao Zhendong continued to give an example: "Why in the past when sending important urgent items, there were often multiple people and multiple routes, all setting off at the same time, instead of just sending one item."

Lou Shouxing said: "You mean, just in case?"

Gao Zhendong nodded: "From ancient times to the present, when we do something very important, we tend to make very thorough arrangements and come up with various methods from all aspects to do it at the same time, rather than just pinning our hopes on one method or one hero. After all, the main reason why heroes are called heroes is that they are rare. If we only rely on one method, the margin of error is too low."

"So my suggestion is that Zhenxing Electric should be retained so that there can be another external channel. This channel is necessary for everyone."

I believe both of them can understand the “whom” in this sentence.

Father Lou smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. Zhenxing Electric is making good profits right now. We are even worried that it might become too big."

Gao Zhendong said: "Why should you be afraid? It's not a bad thing to be bigger."

Lou Shouxing's feeling was probably: Huh? Brother-in-law, we just met for the first time, and you want me to die?

Although this was a joke, Lou Shouxing asked his own question: "Wouldn't it be clear if we became bigger?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head. "I feel that in other places, becoming too big is indeed dangerous, but in Hong Kong Island, it's just the opposite. If it's too small, life and death will be meaningless to all parties, and no one will protect you. If you become bigger and have a greater influence, you will have the capital to check and balance. The situation in Hong Kong Island is complicated, but it's just right for fishing in troubled waters."

What's wrong with becoming bigger? Think about Comrade Lonsdale of the KGB, he almost became a noble like John Bull. If he hadn't been betrayed by a traitor, he would have really been able to open John Bull's eyes. Of course, Zhenxing Electric is different in nature from Lonsdale. Zhenxing Electric only makes components and such.

Lou Shouxing thought about it and felt that Gao Zhendong's words made sense: "Zhendong, your idea does make sense. I'll think about it."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Brother, I'm just sitting at home and thinking about this. You are more familiar with the situation outside. You can decide based on the situation. In short, I suggest that you keep the Zhenxing Electric Products route. As long as it is still useful, the chances of getting a good result will be greater."

The meaning of "home" and "outside" is self-evident.

These words touched Lou Shouxing's heart. He had always wanted to venture out into the world, and now he had enough reasons to do so. So what was he waiting for? Just do it.

Father Lou also thought this was a solution. All eggs should not be put in one basket: "Well, since you all think so, then this matter is settled."

Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Dan: You are right.

Lou Shouxing smiled and said, "I've already inquired about the Bailing Radio and Telephone and Telegraph Exhibition you mentioned. When the time comes, I'll take the tapes and the tape recorder you asked me to make last time and promote it there."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Well, this is something that can only be done in Hong Kong. No matter how well you do in China, they won't play with you."

Lou Shouxing also laughed: "Well, let's use Hong Kong Island as a route to suck a few ounces out of them. This way, when we support our family, we will have more funds available."

Gao Zhendong thought of something: "Brother, you hire a few people over there and slowly research how to make the tape recorder smaller. It would be best if it were not much bigger than a cassette, so that people can carry it with them."

Lou Shouxing felt it was a bit difficult: "Zhendong, those two speakers are hard to handle, right?"

Gao Zhendong put his hands on his ears and gestured: "Then use headphones, that solves the problem. But this thing doesn't need to be released this year. Slowly, at the Bailing Radio and Telephone and Telegraph Exhibition this year, a tape recorder and tapes will be enough."

Lou Shouxing was delighted: "Haha, when it comes to technology, it has to be you. I'll arrange it right away when I get there."

The three men chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly until Lou's mother came to call them.

"Have you masters had enough chatting? It's time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner."
