Chapter 102 Shen Ruobing Gives Birth
The United States was dismayed to learn that its third largest automobile company, Chrysler, had fallen into the hands of the Chinese. However, it is now an established fact, and if they want to change it by force, it may cause even greater trouble.
After all, this acquisition and merger was completed under the guidance of the US Treasury Department. We can't just slap ourselves in the face!
I originally thought that it was an American car company acquiring another American car company. Although the acquirer was only a small car company, such an acquisition and merger felt a bit like a snake swallowing an elephant. But since they were able to come up with the money to acquire it, what else can you say?
But they never expected that another American automobile company had already been acquired by a Chinese automobile company, and they accidentally lost the country's third largest automobile company, Chrysler Corporation. Now Chrysler Corporation has become a Chinese automobile company.
But on the surface, Chrysler Corporation is still an American automobile company, but it has been acquired by a Chinese company.
So for the time being, we can only accept it with a pinch of our nose. Fortunately, although Chrysler Corporation has been acquired by the Chinese, it is still in the United States and can still bring taxes and jobs to the United States. If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem unacceptable.
Of course, Yang Hai would not think of moving Chrysler Corporation out of the United States. After all, this is a bit unrealistic.
Besides, the Chrysler automobile brand has a considerable market share in Europe and the United States, and being the third largest automobile company in the United States is no joke.
However, after Yang Hai completed the acquisition of Chrysler Corporation through Jianghe Automobile Company, there were still many things he could do.
For example, in the name of cooperation, they could invest in a super factory in China to produce all brands of cars under the name of Chrysler Corporation, thereby rapidly expanding their share in the Chinese and entire Asian automobile markets.
Jianghe Motors can also obtain technical support from Chrysler Corporation and various patent authorizations, allowing Jianghe Motors to make rapid progress in automobile manufacturing technology.
After reaping enough benefits, if the United States still wants to redeem Chrysler Corporation, Yang Hai doesn't care as long as the price is right. Anyway, he has learned the technology and obtained the patent authorization.
Yang Hai made a special trip to the United States. In addition to completing the acquisition of Chrysler Corporation, he also spent a lot of money to acquire various patent technologies from companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy or had already gone bankrupt at low prices. Most of these patent technologies were related to automotive technology, semiconductor technology, and technical patents related to lithography machine production technology.
For example, Cymer is an American company. Currently, there are only two companies in the world that are capable of producing lithography light sources, Cymer and Japan's Gigaphoton (Komatsu), both of which are suppliers of ASML.
However, at this time, Cymer was just a supplier of ASML and had not yet been acquired by it.
Of course Yang Hai had to strike first and take over Cymer first.
Another way is to poach employees from major companies with high salaries, including Texas Instruments, ASML, Philips, and ABM.
No matter which well-known overseas company, there are always Chinese scientific researchers. If you want to recruit some talents back to China, as long as you are willing to spend money, there will basically not be too much difficulty.
I remember that the Shanghai Microelectronics Equipment Company in China also recruited a lot of talents who returned to China. Therefore, shortly after its establishment, it successfully developed and produced a 90-nanometer lithography machine and soon achieved mass production.
Obviously, these technologies are all thanks to the scientific research talents who have returned to China, because they have almost mastered these technologies abroad.
However, after the successful production of the 90-nanometer lithography machine, there has been no further breakthroughs, while the international lithography machine technology has already broken through to 40 nanometers and has been put into mass production.
Not only that, the 28-nanometer lithography technology has also been developed and will soon be put on the market.
However, before Yang Hai was reborn, although it was rumored that Shanghai Microelectronics had mastered the production technology of 28-nanometer lithography machines and the first 28-nanometer lithography machine was about to be delivered for use, no one could explain what exactly was going on.
Anyway, Yang Hai felt that it was very unreliable to pin his hopes on Shanghai Microelectronics, so it would be better for him to invest on his own to develop and produce lithography machines.
So Yang Hai established the HuaWei Electronic Equipment Factory to develop and produce semiconductor packaging equipment on his own.
Although a large number of scientific research talents have been introduced through Li Ying, Lu Manman, and other channels, it is obviously far from enough, so we must continue to find ways to tap some scientific research and technical talents from major companies.
It also includes finding ways to acquire some technical patents, or even directly acquiring some companies in the industrial chain.
This sounds simple, but it is very difficult to actually do it. It is not something that can be done by just spending money. The key is to find a way to convince these people and make them willing to return to China for development.
It is difficult to impress them by just talking about how much annual salary they will receive or what kind of benefits they will receive. The key is to talk to them about some great principles, so that they will resolutely return to China to develop and serve the motherland for the sake of the country's scientific and technological development and prosperity, just like the scientists of the older generation.
Only then can you further impress them by offering them annual salary and good benefits.
Not only can you serve the motherland, you can also make money and the benefits are very good. The key is that it is close to home and you can go home to visit your family at any time.
In this way, it will be easier to convince these talents to return to China with him for development.
Yang Hai often personally meets these promising talents and persuades them to return to China for development to show his sincerity. He also makes some promises to them in order to reassure them and allow them to return to China for development.
As a result, Yang Hai traveled back and forth between the United States and China, the Netherlands and China, and Germany and China several times to discover scientific and technological talents and acquire some companies or technical patents.
Before they knew it, the due dates of Shen Ruobing, Li Ying and Lu Manman were approaching. Although Yang Hai also wanted to stay with Li Ying and Lu Manman and wait for them to give birth to their babies.
But he had to return to China and wait for Shen Ruobing to give birth. After all, Shen Ruobing was his legitimate wife.
If he didn't accompany Shen Ruobing to give birth to the baby, but instead went to the United States to accompany Li Ying and Lu Manman to give birth to the baby, that would be a bit too unreasonable.
At this time, Shen Ruobing was still in the dark and had no idea that her two best friends were also giving birth in the United States at the same time as she was.
Yang Hai was waiting anxiously at the factory door, walking around from time to time, looking a little restless, and picking up his mobile phone from time to time to take a look.
"Ahai! Sit down and wait! Don't be so nervous, Ruobing will be fine." Father Shen said to his son-in-law with a smile.
"Dad! I'm fine! I just don't want to sit down." Yang Hai said with a forced smile.
"It's not easy to be a father for the first time. When I gave birth to my daughter, you were also very nervous and restless." Mother Shen also said with a smile.
"How can we compare the situation back then with that now? Can it be the same?" said Father Shen.
"At that time, we were still in the countryside, and we still had to hire a midwife to deliver the baby. Giving birth at that time was like going through the gates of hell for a woman. If you encountered a difficult delivery or heavy bleeding, you might even lose your life. How could I not be nervous?" "Conditions are much better now, but it's not easy for a woman to give birth. Isn't it normal for Ah Hai to feel sorry for his wife and worry about her and the child?" Mother Shen said.
At this moment, a loud cry was heard from the delivery room, and then a nurse appeared in front of them holding a newborn baby.
"Congratulations, both mother and child are safe. It's a boy, weighing 25.8 kilograms," the nurse said with a smile.
"Haha! I knew it must be a big fat boy. Turns out to be the case. I'm already a grandfather." Father Shen said happily with a laugh.
Yang Hai was of course very happy to have a son, and the three of them gathered around the newborn baby.
After looking at her son, Shen Ruobing was pushed out of the delivery room and transferred to the ward.
The three of them surrounded Shen Ruobing again and began to show concern for this great hero.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly during the delivery, and there were no unexpected situations. Apart from feeling a little weak after giving birth, Shen Ruobing did not have any other problems.
Giving birth definitely consumes a lot of physical energy for a woman. After giving birth, she will look very weak, which is normal. She will recover slowly.
Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Shen went back first. Mrs. Shen said that she would personally make chicken soup for Shen Ruobing to nourish her body.
Before leaving, he told Shen Ruobing to be careful not to be blown by the wind, not to touch cold water, not to eat this, not to drink that, not to do this, not to do that.
If a woman does not take good care of herself during the confinement period, she will suffer from many sequelae in the future, which will be very troublesome.
Yang Hai has a deep understanding of this. Because Yang Hai's mother gave birth to many children and did not take good care of herself after the baby was born, her health was very poor and she had many illnesses that could not be cured.
When Yang Hai was very young, his mother's health was not very good. She often felt pain here and there, and discomfort here and there.
Sometimes he rolled around in pain on the bed, screaming out in agony so loud that half the village could hear him.
In his later years, all kinds of complications arose, such as gallstones. He had surgery and had half of his gallbladder removed.
In addition, he had diabetes and hepatitis ascites. In short, he had to be hospitalized every once in a while and had undergone several surgeries.
She died of illness in her sixties. Not to mention that her family was not well off at that time, even if they had money, her body was full of diseases and it would be difficult to cure, or even impossible to cure.
Therefore, Yang Hai also attaches great importance to Shen Ruobing's confinement. He is not like Shen Ruobing's body, which might become like his mother's if she does not take good care of herself during the confinement period.
But it is impossible to think about it. What era is it now? Moreover, the conditions are so good now. Not only can we keep up with the nutrition, but we also have the time and conditions to take good care of our bodies.
Unlike his mother’s generation, when children had to go to the fields to plant rice and earn work points just two or three days after they were born, their nutrition was not enough and they were lucky to have enough food to eat.
Things like "you can't be exposed to wind, rain or cold water during confinement" and "you have to eat good, nutritious food to replenish your body" are very difficult for ordinary people to do.
Therefore, there are really not many women from that era who have given birth to several children and are in good health without any health problems.
After Mr. and Mrs. Shen left, Yang Hai stayed with Shen Ruobing.
"Thank you for your hard work. Does it still hurt?" Yang Hai said, holding Shen Ruobing's hand tightly.
"It doesn't hurt much now, but it was really painful when I gave birth! It hurt so much that I was dying." Shen Ruobing said with a lingering fear.
"Then we won't have any more children in the future and won't let you suffer this anymore." Yang Hai stroked Shen Ruobing's face with his other hand and said with a distressed look.
"Is it enough to have just one child?" Shen Ruobing asked.
"Don't you want to have another child?"
"What do you mean? Didn't you just say that giving birth is painful?" Yang Hai asked in surprise.
"Since childbirth is painful, do you still want to have a second child?"
Shen Ruobing hesitated for a moment and said, "Although it is indeed a bit painful when giving birth, but after the child is born, when I see the child, I feel very happy and feel that the pain is worth it."
"If we only have one child, he will have no brothers or sisters in the future. Will he be too lonely?"
"My parents only gave birth to me as a daughter, so I don't have any brothers or sisters. When I was a child, I envied those who had older brothers or sisters. I always hoped that I would have an older brother or sister who would care about me and protect me."
"Or if I have a younger brother or sister, I can also care for them and love them."
"If possible, I think we should have another child. Now we have a son, and it would be best if we could have a daughter next time."
"But if we have another son next time, it won't matter. Two sons aren't too many! We can afford to raise them anyway."
"If we can work harder and have better luck, it would be even better if we can have twins, a boy and a girl."
Yang Hai couldn't help but smile and said, "You said it was painful to give birth to one child. Wouldn't it be more painful if you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl?"
"Actually it's not that bad. It just felt very painful at the time. After the baby was born, it wasn't that painful anymore." Shen Ruobing said with an embarrassed smile.
