Chapter 252 "Sharing the spoils" and "layout"

Gao Zhendong finally understood what it meant to envy the mandarin ducks instead of the immortals. He couldn't help but think of a famous joke from his previous life: "DuDu and I can never coexist!"

There is no need to lock it carefully. This kind of thing is not something that should be told to outsiders.

No matter how busy he is, he still has marriage leave. The factory gave him three days of leave, which just covered the three days he had to go back home.

When they got up in the morning, they felt a sense of novel excitement, as if everything they did was fresh and interesting. Gao Zhendong took more than 40 minutes to finish breakfast, which could take him 15 minutes by himself.

After dinner, Lou Xiao'e cleared the dishes and went to wash them. Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Why rush? Just leave them there and wash them together at noon."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "No, it would be rude if a guest saw us."

It’s not a bad thing for Gao Zhendong to follow her, and Lou Xiaoe’s tutoring is good.

While Lou Xiao'e was washing dishes, he went to turn on the record player. The music of "A New World" started to sound leisurely, and Lou Xiao'e stopped washing dishes.

She turned her head and looked at Gao Zhendong with a sweet smile, her eyes a little red.

Amid the melodious music, one person washes dishes while the other reads a book, and the years pass peacefully.

After Lou Xiao'e finished her work, the two of them sat together and acted like little money-grubbers, playing around with the share money.

Liang Faming had already sorted out and counted the money yesterday before handing it over to the two men. They didn't bother to count it. After looking at the total, there were several hundred yuan. Among them was a stack of tickets given by the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building and the master, which seemed a little special.

Old Chen still brought over all the tickets that Gao Zhendong had confiscated when Gao Zhendong asked him to be the parent last time.

Gao Zhendong pushed the pile of money in front of Lou Xiaoe: "Here, your pocket money, haha."

Lou Xiao'e happily collected the money: "Haha, I'll depend on you from now on."

Gao Zhendong took out two passbooks and handed them to Lou Xiaoe: "This is a lot of money in the family. You keep it. I won't care about it."

The two passbooks are one big and one small, not in the physical sense of size, but in the amount.

The larger one was twelve thousand, which was basically all royalties, and the smaller one was just over three thousand, which was Gao Zhendong's savings before he started working plus his later salary surplus. Gao Zhendong could not spend all of his salary by himself.

When Lou Xiao'e saw the amount of money, she was a little surprised. She knew that Gao Zhendong was a wealthy man among ordinary people, but she never expected it to be tens of thousands.

In fact, this is not all. Gao Zhendong has 10,000 yuan in cash placed in the storage warehouse. It's not that he doesn't trust Lou Xiaoe, but this is emergency money. Cash is more convenient, and nothing will go wrong there.

He himself couldn't think of any emergency situation that would require such a large sum of money at the moment, so it was just a foolproof plan anyway.

Lou Xiao'e thought about it and pushed the larger one back to Gao Zhendong: "You keep this one. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Hehe, this small one is enough for daily use. Besides, you still get a salary every month."

This means that more than 3,000 yuan is enough for "daily expenses". At this time, most people don't even have 300 yuan at home. Generally speaking, for daily expenses, most people's monthly expectation is around 30 yuan.

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e counted out 200 from the "pocket money" Gao Zhendong gave her and handed it to Gao Zhendong: "Here you go, this is your pocket money, hahahaha."

If other people saw the amount of pocket money, they would probably label Gao Zhendong a tycoon.

Gao Zhendong looked "surprised": "Isn't this too much? I still have more than a hundred yuan on me."

However, Lou Xiao'e said solemnly: "Not much, not much. You are a grown man and you are often outside. How can you not carry some money with you? We have it. Are you timid and afraid that others will rob you? Hahaha." She couldn't help laughing at the end.

In Lou Xiao'e's opinion, if a man has little money and has to think twice before inviting friends to dinner, it is simply a dereliction of duty.

After the two of them "divided" the share of the money, Gao Zhendong put the stack of tickets he had received, plus a portion of his own savings, together and handed them all to Lou Xiaoe: "You take care of this household." These things, to some extent, are more important than money, and the one who takes care of them is the one who is the steward.

As usual, he kept some tickets for nationwide travel that did not have very strict time limits for himself.

"Little Housekeeper" Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose and nodded heavily: "Yes!"

The two smiled at each other, and a strong sense of happiness floated in the house along with the music.

The two of them lived happily together. The next day, Gao Zhendong brought Lou Xiao'e to Old Chen's house, which made Old Chen and his wife very happy. In the eyes of Mrs. Chen, basically all they needed was a big fat grandson, or a granddaughter would be fine, anyway, as long as they had someone to hug.

On the third day, Lou Xiao'e brought Gao Zhendong back home. When Lou's father and mother saw Lou Xiao'e's radiant and gentle appearance, they knew that the young couple was living a happy life. Then they looked at the lonely Lou Shouxing with disdain.

Lou Shouxing shrank his neck and went to the kitchen to urge the cooking. If he didn't urge others to cook, his parents would urge him to get married, so he had better let the cook at home suffer.

Lou's mother took Lou Xiao'e to her room to talk in private. Lou's mother's kind smile and Lou Xiao'e's laughter could be heard from the door from time to time.

Gao Zhendong, Lou's father, and Lou Shouxing, who had just finished cooking the dishes, went to the study.

Looking at the two energetic young people, Father Lou showed a smile that was a bit like an "aunt's smile", one external and one internal. It seemed that he didn't have to worry too much about the days to come.

"Zhendong, I'm not worried about whether you and Xiao'e are doing well, so we won't talk about this matter here, hehe. I asked you and Shouxing to come in because I want to discuss the next steps for Zhenxing Electric."

After attending Lou Xiao'e's wedding, Lou Shouxing would soon go to Hong Kong Island. At this time, he was completely different from the wilted chicken he had been when he was despised by his old mother just now. He showed the grandeur that a corporate helmsman should have.

Before going south, he must first finalize the strategy at home so that he can go and execute it. To put it bluntly, half of Zhenxing Electric is still owned by Lou Xiao'e, so he can just treat it as a board meeting.

Gao Zhendong does have some ideas about Zhenxing Electric's layout in Hong Kong Island.

After listening to Lou's father's words, he nodded and looked at Lou Shouxing: "Brother, you are the executor, what do you think?"

Lou Shouxing thought for a moment before speaking: "My idea is to make electronic products for people's daily use. You don't know how popular the tape recorders you made and the tape recorders your supervisors made are over there. Not only Hong Kong Island, but the entire Western world is our market."

Father Lou pondered for a moment and said, "Well, this general direction is not bad. We have the funds, there is a market over there, Zhendong has the technology, and you have the operational ability. If you don't do it, I'm afraid even God will not be able to bear it."

The two people's ideas coincide with Gao Zhendong's. They are all outstanding people and elites in the industry, so it is not surprising that they have such vision.

Gao Zhendong agreed, "Dad, big brother, you and I have the same idea. Let's make consumer electronics. What are you going to do next?"

"Consumer electronics"? The Lou family father and son thought, well, this category is a good summary!

Lou Shouxing said, "The White Ridge Radio and Telephone and Telegraph Exhibition you mentioned is about to start. I have asked someone to buy a booth. According to your plan, I will bring a tape recorder and tapes there this year to promote them. I have learned more about this exhibition. It is the largest and most extensive exhibition of consumer electronics in the Western world. The advertising effect should be very good."

"After the exhibition, I plan to take advantage of the exhibition to fully promote tape recorders and tapes there. I have studied it and found that according to the latest revision of the Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, and the patent laws of major countries where we have applied for patents first even though we have not signed the treaty, we have 15 to 20 years of protection in the Western world, which is enough for us to become very big."

娄守行果然是不折不扣的商业精英，能去研究《保护工业产权公约》，也是下了不少功夫的。这个公约于于1883年3月20日在高卢鸡的首都签订，1884年7月7日生效。

Its scope of protection is industrial property rights. With continuous revision and improvement, it includes invention patents, utility models, designs, trademarks, service marks, manufacturer names, goods marks or names of origin, etc. The "international patent" often mentioned in the future comes from this.

Its most recent revision was in 1958 in the capital of the country of cork.

Lou Shouxing has already considered deeply the use of international intellectual property protection to buy time and grow stronger, which shows that he is far more than just trying to sell two tape recorders in Hong Kong Island.

However, Gao Zhendong had some different opinions about his ideas.

"Brother, my suggestion is that after we develop for a year or two, gain a firm foothold, build a good reputation, and establish a brand, we can choose suitable cooperative manufacturers, share the patents with them, or license them out at a lower patent fee, so that everyone can produce this product together."

After all, Lou Shouxing had never worked on or understood the entire industrial chain and industrial clusters, and his vision was still not that far-sighted. He was a little confused about what Gao Zhendong said for a while.

"Zhendong, if this is the case, aren't we handing over our advantage to others?"

Father Lou also had similar thoughts. Isn't this aiding the enemy?

Gao Zhendong nodded: "From the perspective of short-term income, we will suffer certain losses, but if we don't do this, our losses will be greater, and we may not be able to expand at all. We must know that if we eat alone behind closed doors, others will not be able to join us, and then they may open another table or even overturn the table directly."

After hearing what Gao Zhendong said, the Lou family father and son fell into deep thought. They had to slow down.

A typical negative example in this regard is the Japanese devils.

For example, their envisioned successor to the Walkman - MD, and hydrogen-powered cars are all examples.
