Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 703: Destroying the Self-developed Plans of Friendly Companies

"By the way, what's the current situation of the red date processing factory invested by Yu City?"

While eating the date sand cake, Gu Jia thought of the red dates that Zhou Jing had invested in Yulin City, which were starting to be harvested this autumn.

"We have started selling bagged red dates and millet. You can see them in supermarkets in Tangdu. The factory is making a health-preserving red date drink. Next year, we plan to collect local sour dates to make a sour date drink."

Zhou Jing went to the living room and turned on the TV and said.

“How is the company’s performance?”

Mother Gu said while eating pastries.

"I don't know. This company doesn't consider profitability. Profits are enough to keep the company running."

The purpose of Zhou Jing's investment in that company in Yulin City was to increase the income of local farmers. It was a poverty alleviation company. The company did not consider the profits, but could increase the farmers' income and sell their products at a better price advantage.

Gu Jia said: "This is the best way to alleviate poverty in rural areas. Instead of passing poverty alleviation funds through layers of government, it is better to establish such non-profit local enterprises."

"The market economy is very complex. Large-scale operations can easily disrupt the market. If too many places do this, price competition will form. To ensure a stable purchase price, subsidies may be needed."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Dad, go see Duck and Rabbit~"

After eating the pastries, the little girl pulled Zhou Jing's finger and said.

"It's time to eat. Let's go after we eat."

Breakfast is ready, Gu Jia goes to prepare the dishes.

Today's breakfast is leek pie, millet porridge, and cold beef. Zhou Jing first takes care of the child while he eats. He puts a leek pie in the child's bowl, mashes it up and feeds it to the child.

“When will the soybeans in my hometown be ripe?”

There are not many soybeans left at home, Gu Jia said. She had originally planned to go back to her hometown during the National Day holiday, but was unable to do so.

"It should be about time now. Let my mom bring some when she comes."

After feeding the child two bites of leek dumplings, Zhou Jing picked up a small piece of beef and put it into the child's mouth.

"Mom~Dad~Grandma~"

The little girl lay on the dining table and shouted happily.

"And grandpa, grandpa, grandma~"

Gu Jia touched the child's face and said.

"Grandpa~Grandma~"

The little girl followed.

"You will have brothers and sisters in the future."

Gu Jia continued.

"Brother~sister~brother~sister~"

The little girl often read family comics and memorized the titles of family members.

"You are the oldest baby in the family. You won't have older brothers or older sisters, only younger brothers and younger sisters."

Gu Jia fed the child a piece of leek dumpling stuffing. When the child talked about her sister, Gu Jia couldn't help but think of Yang Wenwen's daughter. Yang Wenwen's daughter was Zhou Jing's goddaughter. If Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen no longer had that kind of relationship, Gu Jia wouldn't mind her daughter having a godsister who was Yang Wenwen's daughter.

"When are you planning to have a second child?"

Mother Gu looked at the young couple and asked happily.

"next year!"

Gu Jia glanced at Zhou Jing and said.

"Ask for it early next year."

Gu's mother hopes that her daughter will give birth to one or two sons early while she is still young. With such a big family business, having a son will make her feel more at ease.

"Do you want your mother to give you a brother or sister?"

Gu Jia looked at her daughter and said.

"Think~"

"Then you must take good care of your brothers and sisters."

Gu Jia also wants to have two more children as soon as possible. If all goes well, she will have one next year and another before she turns 36.

It is almost November of 13 and 14 is getting closer. Zhou Jing can't help but feel a headache. There is still no hope of perfectly handling the Shura Field.

After breakfast, Zhou Jing put on his child's down jacket and went out for a walk. He went to the activity room and brought the rabbit and duck to the withered garden in the backyard. The rabbit had grown very big, and the two ducks were also quite big. They quacked in the yard. The two ducks, one male and one female, should be able to lay eggs when the weather gets warmer next year.

"Duck, come here~"

The child staggered over to the ducks, squatted down and grabbed one.

Watching the child playing with the ducks, Zhou Jing opened his mobile phone and logged into his secondary account. Zhou Jing's return to BJ yesterday had touched the nerves of Chen Jiaqian, Yang Wenwen and Gu Jia. All three of them sent messages to ask Zhou Jing what was going on.

Chen Jiaqian's situation is easy to deal with. Zhou Jing will be able to see her when he returns to Tangdu.

Yang Wenwen is now completely avoiding Zhou Jing. Since they met in September, she has only kept in touch with Zhou Jing by phone. Especially after Gu Jia found out, Yang Wenwen has been avoiding Zhou Jing even more, leaving Zhou Jing helpless.

After being found out by Gu Jia, Zhou Jing now has no excuse to go back to Yu City. Even if he really has something to go back to Yu City, it is impossible as Gu Jia will not be suspicious. Fortunately, Yang Xin can't leave Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing regrets not letting Yang Wenwen and her daughter move to Tangdu earlier.

[Gu Jia allowed me to see you and CC occasionally, but didn’t let me look for Chen Jiaqian]

Zhou Jing thought for a while and replied to Yang Wenwen.

[Let Gu Jia calm down before watching]

Yang Wenwen looked at the news with half belief and half doubt. After thinking about it carefully, if it was true, Yang Wenwen could understand Gu Jia's attitude. After all, she already had a child and didn't need to have another one. If Chen Jiaqian had a child, Gu Jia could refuse to accept Chen Jiaqian, but she couldn't stop Zhou Jing from recognizing the child.

[You two should move to Tangdu during the winter vacation]

Zhou Jing understood that Gu Jia's forgiveness of him this time did not mean that she accepted Yang Wenwen and Chen Jiaqian. If he continued to mess around with other women, Gu Jia might be really angry, but Zhou Jing really couldn't control his feelings.

[Winter vacation, see if CC will have trouble transferring to another school]

The villa in Tangdu is almost ready for renovation, but Yang Wenwen has no plans to move to Tangdu for the time being.

[If you don’t go to Tangdu next month, I will go back to Yushi]

Zhou Jing must meet Yang Wenwen at least once next month, otherwise the itchy feeling will drive him crazy.

Hearing the door open, Zhou Jing put his phone in his pocket.

"Mom~Duck-Duck-Rabbit-Rabbit has no qi."

The child turned around and shouted at Gu Jia.

"They've eaten." Gu Jia, who was wearing a down jacket, squatted beside the child and touched the rabbit's belly and said, "See if the rabbit is full?"

"Hmm~ Are you hungry?"

The little girl pinched the duck's belly.

Someone was watching the child, so Zhou Jing called her best friend Bai to ask about the pre-sale status of the Ideal 2 generation smartphone and Bluetooth headsets. In less than 2 hours, more than Ideal s were pre-sold online, nearly were sold, and more than were sold for Bluetooth headsets.

Ideal's pre-sale is real. You need to pay a deposit of 100 yuan for pre-ordering a mobile phone and 50 yuan for a Bluetooth headset. With this performance of the new phone on the market, Ideal Technology's goal of selling 40 million smartphones this year has been secured.

Bai Xiyao was originally worried about Zhou Jing's situation. When she heard the sound of Gu Jia playing with the child on the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xmi has given in on the smart speaker patent infringement case. Lei J posted a Weibo saying that a single flower does not make spring, but a riot of colour makes spring in a garden. I guess he's starting to target Bluetooth headsets."

Zhou Jing said: "It doesn't matter. We will shorten the protection period of Bluetooth headset technology to three months. After three months, Jingyin and Yuanchi will be allowed to sell accessories using our technology to other brands."

"Why?"

Bai Xiyao said in confusion.

Zhou Jing said: "If we disrupt their self-development plans, they will keep copying us and will always be one step behind us in innovation."

"Your move is ruthless. This is how Microsoft took over the global operating system market." Bai Xiyao understood instantly that there are many ways to compete. Simply protecting technology is not the smartest one. Making competitors numb and not innovating is more powerful than technological protection and attack.

"The patent fees we charge should not be higher than their own research costs."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

Bai Xiyao: "I understand."

"Smart speakers and Bluetooth headsets continue to establish their brands, occupy the mid-range and high-end markets, and appropriately abandon the low-end market."

Smart speakers and Bluetooth headsets were first launched by Ideal Technology. Entering this market first but failing to establish the brand and dominate the mid- to high-end market was the biggest failure. Zhou Jing's principle of ensuring profit margins will not change.

"How much are the pre-sale prices for mobile phones and headphones?"

Gu Jia asked after Zhou Jing hung up the phone.

"The phone is over 500,000 yuan, and the headphones are over 300,000 yuan."

Zhou Jing put his phone in his pocket and said.

"Smartphones are becoming more popular this year. Every college student has one smartphone. Will the sales of traditional phones next year be half of what they were this year?"

Gu Jia lamented that last year smartphones were still a novelty in universities, but now traditional mobile phones have been eliminated in universities, and the university’s business hall doesn’t even have space to display traditional mobile phones.

"It would be good if we can achieve 40%. Next year or the year after, our company will start testing smartphones. If we can't sell hundreds of millions of smartphones the year after, we will have to reduce our R&D investment."

The domestic market share of traditional mobile phones has dropped by 70 to 80 percent this year. Ideal traditional mobile phone sales rely entirely on market support in developing countries abroad.

"It's a bit difficult. With the current development, it should be no problem to reach hundreds of millions in 16 years."

Gu Jia roughly estimated that Ideal smartphone sales would reach 40 million this year without any problem. It would be great if it could exceed 60 million next year, and 80 million the year after would be great. It would be a bit difficult to reach over 100 million.

Gu Jia and her mother went shopping for groceries at around nine o'clock in the morning, while Zhou Jing stayed at home to take care of the baby.

Zhou Jing was the only one left at home with his child. He called Yang Wenwen and Chen Jiaqian, comforted Gu Jia, and also took care of the feelings of Yang Wenwen and Chen Jiaqian. He couldn't treat them equally, but he couldn't be too partial to one over the other.

Zhou Jing had sent a message to Yang Wenwen saying that Gu Jia allowed Zhou Jing to look for Yang Wenwen. Yang Wenwen thought it was true and her depressed mood had improved a lot in the past two days. Although the word "lover" does not sound nice, she does not feel lonely with someone to accompany her.

After finishing the call, Zhou Jing went to the study, turned on the computer and checked the stocks.

After the stock market opened, as expected, technology companies such as Jingyin and Yuanchi soared. P Station, which is related to Zhou Jing, and Starlight Youke, which went public last week, also saw a sharp rise, which is good for the domestic technology sector.

The planning of the P station's e-commerce module has been completed, and the upgraded APP has been developed. It is planned to be officially updated in December, and the e-commerce mode will be enabled after the update.

The stock price of Starlight Travel Technology rose by more than 50% in the seven trading days after its listing. The earnings of listed companies are indeed very attractive. If Ideal Technology were to go public, the increase would be even greater.

After dealing with stocks, Zhou Jing checked the company's affairs. Entering the third quarter, Ideal Technology's performance was stable, P Station and Starlight Games were developing smoothly, and Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd.'s performance entered the off-season. As Ideal Technology provided more and more chip orders, Taiwei Semiconductor's performance increased significantly.

The building built for Tangdu Shengtang Chip Design Technology Co., Ltd. has completed acceptance and is scheduled to be put into use next spring. The Tianji chip developed by Shengtang Chip Design Institute can already meet the needs of traditional mobile phones and some low-end communication equipment.

"Dad, let's go play."

The bored little girl hanging on Zhou Jing kicked Zhou Jing's arm with her short legs and said.

"What do you want to play?"

Zhou Jing kissed the child's head and said.

"Playing with cars~"

"Let's go."

Zhou Jing got up and took the child to the first floor. It was a bit cold outside, so Zhou Jing played with the child indoors. The child sat on a tricycle and Zhou Jing walked in front, pulling the rope. There was a relatively spacious activity space on the first floor of the villa.

"Zhou Zhou, come and help mom and grandma get things."

Gu Jia, who had just returned from shopping, heard the child's cheerful voice shouting outside the door.

"Mom is back~"

Hearing Gu Jia's voice, the little girl rode her bike to the door with her feet as if she was riding Hot Wheels.

"Come down and help mommy get it."

Gu Jia took out two oranges from the bag and asked the child to hold them.

The little girl was holding two oranges in her arms. She dropped one after walking a few steps, and when she squatted down to pick it up, the other one also fell.

"Put it in your hat so it won't fall out."

Zhou Jing picked up the orange and put it in the child’s hat.

"Fruits are really expensive these days. Oranges are seven yuan a pound, apples are six and a half yuan a pound, and sugarcane is more than five yuan a pound."

Gu Jia handed the fruit bag to Zhou Jing and said.

"With the development of e-commerce and the economy, the sales channels for fruits and agricultural products will become better and better, and the prices will become higher and higher. At present, the sales of fruits and agricultural products mainly rely on offline sales. If they are not sold in time, many will rot in the fields. It will be very convenient after the fans cover the fields."

Zhou Jing took the fruit to the kitchen, took a piece of sugarcane, peeled it and made juice for the child.

"E-commerce is a blow to street shops. If it can be developed to serve agricultural and sideline products, it will benefit both rural and urban residents. How about Pornhub doing this?"

Gu Jia seemed to see a business opportunity.

"As long as the state supports us, it will be a test of logistics. Let's try it next year. Does Zhou Zhou want to eat sugar cane?"

Zhou Jing said as he bit a piece of sugarcane.

“I want to~ah!”

The little girl hugged Zhou Jing's legs and opened her mouth wide.

"This is how you eat sugar cane. Eat the sweet juice inside and spit out the dregs."

Zhou Jing demonstrated to the child how to eat sugarcane, and then fed a small piece into the child's mouth.

The little girl tried hard to chew the sugarcane and suck the juice inside.

"If it's not sweet anymore, spit it out. Eating the residue will make your stomach hurt."

Gu Jia looked at the child's mouth and said.

"If you spit it out, drink the juice your daddy squeezes for you."

Zhou Jing squeezed half a cup of sugarcane juice for the child to drink.

"Mom hasn't been treated this way. Your dad only knows how to spoil you."

Gu Jia smiled and sighed.

"Let mom drink it, okay?"

Zhou Jing said while holding the cup.

"e~"

Children like sweet things the most. After tasting the sweetness of sugarcane, the little girl looked at the cup hesitantly.

"Mom doesn't drink."

Seeing the child almost drooling with greed, Gu Jia picked up a piece of peeled sugarcane and ate it.

After drinking the sugarcane juice, the child licked the cup and said in a baby voice: "Daddy, I want more~"

"Not today. If I drink any more, my stomach will hurt."

Zhou Jing took the child to the rest corner to play.

After having lunch at home and coaxing the children to take a nap, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the company. After the release of the Ideal 3 smartphone, the smartphone R&D team of Chuangzhi Technology became busy again. The Ideal 14 obtained the first chip launch qualification in . The Ideal will be available in September next year, and the mobile phone software system is still managed by Chuangzhi Technology.

When he arrived at the company, Zhou Jing first went to the office to deal with the matters of the previous two days. The documents and materials piled up waiting for Zhou Jing to deal with were mainly documents from various R&D departments and project departments.

[CCTV Finance Channel invites you to participate in an interview next month]

After Zhou Jing logged into her work account, a message from her bestie Bai popped up.
