Chapter 286 Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

After chatting with Mr. Ni.

Learning that he had other things to do back in Si Jiu Cheng and had already bought an evening flight, Su Yehao instructed the lobby manager to arrange a car to take him to the airport later.

On the way home.

Su Yehao finally had the chance to look at the documents prepared by the old gentleman, namely the "Feasibility Report on the Development of Domestic Computer CPUs and Operating Systems."

It was a thick stack, more than thirty pages long, meticulously prepared.

However, as he read, Su Yehao gradually realized something was amiss. Mr. Ni had introduced several related research institutions in the section on chips.

He also mentioned that the higher-ups had begun to realize that the government should play the role of investor and supporter in the development of these industries, rather than trying to dominate them. Therefore, they were trying to reform several research units into enterprises and raise funds from the market.

In the concluding section.

Mr. Ni also mentioned that Su Yehao's attempt to develop the foundry business was correct, as it could solve the problem of lacking relevant manufacturing capabilities.

Therefore, he only suggested that Su Yehao provide financial assistance when those research units were reformed, to be used for the research and development of low- to mid-range integrated circuits and chips.

In short.

Mr. Ni expressed his understanding of Su Yehao's difficulties. He was probably aware that it would be difficult to compete with the top international manufacturers under the current circumstances. Therefore, he chose not to force it and prepared to start with low- to mid-range products to solve some more pressing problems, such as those in home appliances and consumer electronics, to avoid large-scale imports from foreign countries.

These high-volume products might not be the most advanced in terms of technology, but they occupied a considerable market share and would not be subject to the restrictions of the Wassenaar Arrangement.

As for the operating system.

Mr. Ni also concluded at the end of the article that he had bought an Apple computer for an in-depth experience and agreed with Su Yehao's previous statement that "it can replace Microsoft." Domestically, operating system R&D enterprises such as Zhongsoft Linux, Zhongke Hongqi, and Landian had emerged, and they were expected to solve the potential security problems in the official departments' office environment.

From the lines, it could be seen that the old gentleman believed they had a high chance of success, and even mentioned at the end that "repeated development will lead to unnecessary waste of funds."

Stunned, Su Yehao closed the document after a while, and said with a wry smile:

"My goodness, I think I spoke too soon. I should have read this document before making a decision. Is it still possible to return to the hotel? I have a feeling he's already gone. No wonder he was so easy to talk to today, no wonder he was smiling so happily."

Under the bewildered gazes of the driver and Linda Yun, Su Yehao hurriedly called the hotel manager.

He learned that Mr. Ni had just checked out, didn't use the hotel's car, and left with his suitcase, saying he was going out for a walk.

When Su Yehao called the old gentleman directly, he found that the call could not be connected, probably because the phone was turned off.

Putting himself in the other's shoes.

If Su Yehao encountered the same situation, he felt that he would also run away to avoid leaving room for regret.

Linda Yun asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you get scammed?"

"No, I just got carried away and said too much..."

Su Yehao smiled wryly and waved his hand, adding: "Forget it, I'll just give the promised funds. At worst, we'll discuss it later and limit the research and development direction to hardware and software for mobile phones. Not many companies are paying attention to this area at the moment, so the pressure will be slightly less."

Currently, the huge value of the Nasdaq technology sector is built on the rise of personal computers. This cake is too big, and rashly intervening will inevitably stir up a hornet's nest.

As for mobile phones, they are still just tools for making calls, and the two are not on the same level, so the restrictions will be much smaller.

After returning home, he found that Nangong Tian had gone to the company.

Su Yehao went to the study and read Mr. Ni's documents again from beginning to end.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the little girl hadn't returned yet, he called her and learned that Mrs. Nangong had come to Hong Kong again today and was taking her out for dinner to talk business. It was said that she was trying to open the largest nightclub in Hong Kong.

Liren Royal Court Club, she was already running clubs in Casino, 1997, and her mother was quite experienced in this area.

When Su Yehao helped the little girl manage her finances and make money by buying Yahoo stocks, Mrs. Nangong also invested a sum after hearing about it. Her family was already doing well, and now she had no worries about food and drink, and had invested in many projects recently.

Declining the invitation to have dinner together, Su Yehao went out again, taking the time to see Nong Qingying.

After returning to Hong Kong, Nong Qingying was now helping to establish the SK2 Hong Kong headquarters. She had rented a floor in the Sihai International Building in Central, with an area of more than 700 square meters, which was enough.

In addition, she was fiddling with the mansion on Barker Road that Su Yehao had helped her buy. The furniture had been bought and was being delivered to the new house one after another. She had also hired a professional landscape design company to re-lay the lawn and plant flowers in the flower beds.

When Su Yehao arrived at Barker Road, Nong Qingying was in the living room, leisurely watching TV.

He sniffed and joked, "There's still a smell in the house. You're not opening the windows to ventilate. Do you want to be a formaldehyde purifier?"

"I don't live here often. It's so hot outside. I'm waiting for the gallery to deliver the oil paintings I bought. What if they hang them in the wrong place if I don't supervise them myself?"

Nong Qingying smiled happily and continued, "It's really spacious here. I can't wait to move in. Finally, I don't have to worry about scratching other people's cars when parking. I can just leave the car in the yard. The mansions on Barker Road can now fetch a monthly rent of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which means I earn 10,000 dollars for every extra day I live here."

Su Yehao looked around and asked, "You must have spent a lot of money on adding furniture and appliances, right? What are you going to do with the feng shui house?"

"Of course, rent it out as soon as possible. My parents are reluctant to live there. The money they earn from fishing at sea is not as much as the rent. I heard that you bought me another house, and the old couple scolded me. I said I paid for it myself, but they didn't believe I could earn so much, and always felt that you were supporting me."

Nong Qingying kicked Su Yehao with her foot, asking him to help her get a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and then added: "Adding black pine, ginkgo, and other things, all kinds of things together, it will probably cost more than 10 million. I only realized how expensive these things are when I was decorating. Fortunately, your feng shui house was already decorated when you sold it to me, otherwise I would have had to live in a pile of cement with my original situation."

"You can sell those investments in the United States if you think it's appropriate. I can't see the future trend. Then you'll have plenty of money on hand."

"Ah? Do you think it's already peaked?"

"I'm not sure. After I sold my Yahoo stocks, they've risen another six points now. Fortunately, I made more than 300 million US dollars from options and long stock indexes to make up for the loss. Now it's purely gambling on luck."

Hearing this, Nong Qingying immediately took out her mobile phone and called her financial manager, asking them to cash out as soon as possible.

Her confidence in financial management comes entirely from Su Yehao.

Now hearing him say that there might be risks, she immediately prepared to take the money and leave. She had earned more than 40 million US dollars in total in the past two years, which is equivalent to more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. How could she not be satisfied?

The US stock market was not open.

Nong Qingying was happily looking forward to what gifts she should buy to reward herself after the money was in hand, while Su Yehao suggested that she continue to look for other projects, such as going to the mainland to pick a few more good stocks...
