Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Old classmates, now that everyone is here, what do you think? Let's go first. We won't go home until we are drunk tonight, especially those of you who came back from the capitalists. You have to make up for the wine you owe today and let us see how much you small capitalists can drink. You can't be cowardly. You can't be beaten down by us socialists..."

A man next to Su Wenbin said loudly to liven up the atmosphere, and then the room became lively, and everyone opened up one by one.

This gathering is not easy. It has been three years since the last gathering. It has been three years since everyone graduated. After graduation, everyone went their separate ways, and some even went abroad directly. In this era, telephones are rare, and there is no mobile Internet. It is really not easy to contact, let alone so many people get together again.

Three years after graduation, everyone has done differently, some good and some bad.

There are eleven people in the room, and they all graduated from Tsinghua University, the top university in China. They were all once the pride of heaven, and they all thought they were very awesome.

"Wenbin, you guys, really, to be honest, you guys should really go abroad to see how well foreign countries are developing. It's really hard for China to catch up. Don't even think about it for 30 to 50 years. China is too backward. I didn't feel it when I was in school, but after going abroad, I found that it was like heaven and earth, really..."

In the room, Zhao Yiyang acted like an elder brother, with a proud look between the lines and a tone of preaching. These words made Su Wenbin and the others curious. They looked at Zhao Yiyang like a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Looking at the expressions of Su Wenbin and the others, Zhao Yiyang had a proud look on his face.

"A bumpkin who has never seen the world..."

Zhao Yiyang couldn't help cursing in his heart. Although they were all classmates, Zhao Yiyang really looked down on these classmates who were doing well in China. The money he earned in a month was not earned by them in several years. What could they compare with him?

"Let's take a simple example, let's take our most commonly used home appliances. Their technology is several blocks ahead of ours. Everyone knows about refrigerators, right? How big are our domestic refrigerators? This is incredible, right? Do you know how big American refrigerators are? The American refrigerators have double doors and are super large. One refrigerator costs more than 20,000 US dollars, which is more than 100,000 yuan in our RMB. Let alone making them in our country, I guess we have never seen one..."

"And their large color TVs, flat-screen, super large, much better than domestic color TVs. By the way, there are also DVD players. Do you know what DVD is? It's a disc player. It's just this big. It can hold a disc. The disc is this big, but it can store a TV series, which is very convenient for watching TV. It's just this small. Do you know how much it costs? More than 5,000 US dollars. Otherwise, why do you say that the United States is rich? They make money from high-tech products, unlike our country..."

"Oh, and there are also mobile phones , this is awesome. Do you know what a mobile phone is? You know what a cell phone is, right? A mobile phone is a more advanced mobile phone than a cell phone. It is just a little bit bigger, but it is much more awesome than a cell phone. People in Finland in Europe have already started to use it. A mobile phone costs more than 2,000 US dollars, which is more than 10,000 yuan in RMB. We are almost there in the United States. There was a promotional advertisement some time ago. What is this? Is this called a gap? You can't deny it. China is backward, and this is an indisputable fact. Really, Wenbin, you guys should really go out and take a look. What do you think we study hard for? Isn't it just to make more money and make our own lives better? How much salary can you get in China in a month? I am in the United States, and now I can get 3,000 US dollars a month, which is more than 15,000 yuan in RMB. Can you get it in China? "

In the room, Zhao Yiyang said with his hands and feet dancing, with arrogance on his face. Zhao Yiyang went to the United States three years ago. As for what he did, I didn't know. Anyway, I just knew that Zhao Yiyang was hanging around in the United States.

Speaking of America, Zhao Yiyang was so proud, as if everything in America was his pride.

But Zhao Yiyang's words made Su Wenbin and other classmates who were in China look a little strange. How to describe it, it was a little uncomfortable. The eyes looking at Zhao Yiyang also slowly changed, from envy and curiosity at the beginning to sneer and even a little disgust.

It was like they were watching a clown show, especially Su Wenbin, who grinned but didn't say anything. He covered his mouth several times to hold back his laughter.

And the fantasy of international students was shattered at once. At this moment, he finally understood why the company's R&D department did not recruit such overseas students.Born. How dare the company recruit such an international student? This is definitely a traitor. If he is recruited to the R&D department, he might sell the company's secrets for money.

"Wenbin, Brother Yang is right. You should really go out and see. If you want to come to France, I also know some people in France and can introduce them to you. With your ability, it shouldn't be a problem to find a job in France."

Zhu Qing looked at Su Wenbin and said with a smile.

"Thank you, but I feel comfortable working in China. Thank you for your kindness..."

Su Wenbin refused directly, with a dull look in his eyes, and he had no yearning for the foreign world at all. Looking at the eyes of Zhao Yiyang and other classmates who returned from abroad, curiosity turned into disdain.

Damn rubbish, after three years abroad, he completely looked down on his own country, damn thing.

A son does not dislike his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not dislike his family's poverty. But Zhao Yiyang and others are now worse than dogs in Su Wenbin's eyes. Talking about his own country, he is full of disdain, and he is still a fucking intellectual.

Su Wenbin sighed in his heart. He couldn't understand why his alma mater would cultivate such students. As a top university in China, it should have cultivated talents for the country, but now looking at this situation, the talents cultivated are probably cultivated for other countries.

The more they talked, the more they drank, and the more drunk they were. Zhao Yiyang and his friends continued to brag and describe the beauty of the free world to Su Wenbin.

However, Su Wenbin and his classmates who were in China seemed to be in a mediocre mood. Wang Zhijie, who was beside Su Wenbin, wanted to speak up and refute several times, but he didn't say it in the end. They were all old classmates. There was no need to pour cold water on them when they were bragging so happily.

Unknowingly, Zhao Yiyang and his friends were all drunk. But after getting drunk, the topic of the crowd changed again, from the bragging just now to complaining, and this change made Su Wenbin confused.
