Daily life of a young couple in 60's Hutong

Chapter 501-510

Chapter 501

Old Gong was too lazy to go see Zhao Lei. He really was too embarrassed to watch. There were so many skilled craftsmen making a bathtub for his son. Couldn't he just find someone else to do it?

Wouldn't it be better to use this time for research and development? He could obviously create higher value, but this guy insisted on going against others. He really doesn't understand the way his brain works.

I thought to myself that I should ignore him, but I didn't let him go. "Have you ever thought about finding a skilled carpenter to do it?"

"If you don't know him, I can introduce him to you." Old Gong suggested sincerely.

Find a skilled carpenter? Zhao Lei pouted, "Find someone to do it, can't I find my master?"

"My master's craftsmanship is so good that there is no need to trouble you." Please, he also learned carpentry from his master.

That's right, he forgot that Zhao Lei had learned the craft from a master, so if they really needed a master to do the work, they wouldn't need to look for him.

"I know what you're thinking. You think that I might as well spend my time researching something." Zhao Lei knew what they were thinking. He thought that since they had an idea, they should not be polite and should start researching directly.

Look, this kid knows it all. Old Gong knows that this kid must know it, but he knows it but has his own ideas.

"This is my love for my children. I want to do it well. If my son can use it, my daughter can use it too."

"Then keep it well, and when the children grow up and have their own children, they can pass it on to their grandchildren." This is what is called inheritance.

"When the time comes, I can tell my grandchildren that this was made by their grandfather for their parents." It's interesting just to think about it.

Oh my god, Old Gong couldn't help but swear, "You, you just became a father, didn't you?"

"You, how come you have already thought about having a grandson?" Old Gong is older than Zhao Lei. Even though his son is already in school, he has never thought about the day when he will have a grandson.

"You think very far ahead. Why haven't you thought about planning your research until that time?" If this plan could be implemented, he would be overjoyed.

As for this, Zhao Lei waved his hand and said, "That's impossible. First of all, I don't know what I will be interested in at that time." Research it. You must be interested in it before you will think about researching it. Otherwise, why would you put yourself in a difficult position?

"Also, if I make a plan now, what if someone else comes up with it and develops it before me? Then my plan will be a big joke."

There is no shortage of smart people in the world. Zhao Lei believes that there must be people who have not had the same adventure as him, but are smart enough to develop better things.

That's right. Old Gong thought about it and admitted that what Zhao Lei said was right. "You plan to wait for approval from the higher-ups before you study it."

It is better to confirm this matter first so that we can know what this kid is thinking. Otherwise, it will be useless for him to worry about it.

"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded. "If the higher-ups don't approve it and think the cost is too high, and disagree with the research, I'll be dumbfounded."

"I can't possibly pay for the research myself." If that were the case, what was the point of his research? He might as well wait another ten years or so. By then, all the research results would be his and he wouldn't have to contribute them.
