Those who have a will, everything is done, the cauldron is broken, and the hundred and twenty Qin Pass is finally Chu;
Painstaking people, the sky does not fail, lying down and tasting courage, three thousand Yue A can swallow Wu.
These are two sentences written to himself by Mr. Pu Songling, the author of "Liaozhai Zhi Yi", when he was frustrated. These two sentences accompanied him through the days of poverty and despised by others, and in the embarrassment of ragged clothes and food, he wrote an immortal masterpiece that shocked the world.
"Boss Zhou, we came here specially today, can't you let us go back empty-handed?" A few people came from Nanjiang County, the first of which was a young man with a mustache, a material supplier, and as soon as he entered the office, he said unceremoniously to Zhou Xinghe.
"Sit down and drink." Zhou Xinghe pointed to the stool and said politely to the gang, "Don't worry, I, Zhou Xinghe, am not the kind of person who pays the bill, but there are indeed some difficulties at present, I'm really sorry, can you delay it for a few more days?" ”
"Difficult? We have already understood clearly, the following Mustang sedan is your company! The young man who collected the bill did not sit or drink water, he shook the note on his hand, "Since you have money to buy a car and no money to pay the bill, then we will not be polite today, ready to seize it first, and come and pick it up when you have money." ”
"What sedan? It is nothing more than a car that is about to be scrapped by Taiwanese. Zhou Xinghe smiled, "It's too inconvenient for us to work without a car, it's just used to buy materials and run customers for a walk." ”
"We don't want to talk to you anymore, we owe money and pay back, it's a matter of course." The young man waved his hand to the people who came with him, "Go, drive the car away first!" ”
"We owe you more than 1,000 yuan, and you have to detain our car, which is too much!" Xiao Shen walked into the office and said to these people, "Although we are an old car, it is still worth more than 20,000 yuan!" ”
"Since you can buy a car for more than 20,000 yuan, you don't have more than 1,000 yuan to pay the bill!" Go, we can't manage so much, drive the car away first! ”
"Nope!" Xiao Shen chased downstairs and stopped the group.
"Xiao Shen, forget it." Zhou Xinghe grabbed Xiao Shen, and seeing that she had anxious tears in her eyes, he calmly persuaded her, "Since we owe money to others, if they want to detain the car, let's detain it." ”
The car was forcibly driven away.
Back in the office, Zhou Xinghe saw Xiao Shen's sad look, and he comforted her: "Forget it, don't be sad." It's nothing more than a car that is about to be scrapped, we will have money in the future, I will buy a brand new 'Accord' for you! No, buy a brand new 'Mercedes'! ”
"You, you always paint bread to fill people's hunger!" Xiao Shen broke into a smile and said with disgust.
"I'm not painting bread for you to fill your hunger, nor to make you want plums to quench your thirst, I believe there will be that day!" Zhou Xinghe said with confidence.
Yes, coming to a strange place to start a new business, and still carrying hundreds of thousands of yuan of old debts, Zhou Xinghe and Xiaoshen are like walking in a swamp, every step forward, it is too difficult.
Xiao Shen quit her job and gave up the "iron rice bowl" with a monthly income of about 2,000 yuan and guaranteed income from drought and flood, which still caused an uproar in her home. Xiao Shen is the most favored daughter at home, and she was replaced by her father after he retired early. When the family learned that she was going to marry a poor bastard with no half a waist and was going to Mianyang to start a new business, his father was so angry that he almost vomited blood and said angrily to his daughter: "Your job was replaced by Lao Tzu after decades of bullets!" You quit if you want to say something, which makes me sad! If you really want to quit your job, I'll die for you! ”
In addition to the pressure of the family, the pressure that society puts on the couple is enough to make people have no respite. During this period, Xiao Shen was repeatedly threatened by her ex-husband with a shotgun, and Zhou Xinghe also heard many times that Liu Fengqiong wanted to hire someone to "repair" them - these are all just enough, what's more, they applied for registration near Mianyang Railway Station "Sichuan Xinghe Building Materials Corporation", the house is rented by people, there is no working capital, almost an empty shell! Zhou Xinghe wants to continue to engage in his research and invention, except for the support of his will and resilience, there is no economic and material support!
"Alas, it was so hard then! Creditors come to collect debts, homeowners collect rent, relatives and friends come to ask for money, almost breaking the threshold. When we go out, we have to look back and forth to see if there are any debts to collect. During the interview, Xiao Shen fell into a long-term memory, "It was because of the debt, and Old Zhou was riddled with lawsuits." On one occasion, he was taken to the police station and detained for a day and a night. Later, it was Lao Zhou's friend who lent him 50,000 yuan to avoid being evicted from the house owner, and only then did he solve his urgent need..."
At that time, Xiao Shen followed Zhou Xinghe with an iron heart and started a business, and he was more capable than a man. She not only has to take care of the food and clothing of the adults and children in the family, but also travels between Mianyang and Chengdu for a long time in order to open up the market; Dozens of pounds of things, she never hired porters, she moved up and down by herself; At that time, there was no money for advertising, and every night she carried a paste bucket with Zhou Xinghe and posted advertisements all over the city; She takes her son to school, sometimes reluctant to ride a three-cent tricycle.
In order to save the economy, Zhou Xinghe traveled on business, could only nibble on steamed bread and drink cold water, and often slept at the railway station bus station at night; In order to continue his invention and develop new products, he stayed up for a long time, even all night, so that he was dizzy and blackened many times, and hit the wall head-on; He was so tired that he fell asleep regardless of time and place, and even the thunder and rain shocked him not to wake up. And once there is a small gain in the economy, he is not used to improve the difficult life, but desperately put it into product development and reproduction; On some key technical issues, he did not hesitate to spend money to ask scientific research institutes and universities to help solve the experiment. As a result, many collaborators, relatives, and friends who are eager to achieve quick results have misunderstood, so that some people have fled with money, some people have stolen some patents, and want to use some of the research results that Zhou Xinghe has achieved to start another production of counterfeit products, so that various complaints are constant, lawsuits are entangled, and creditors are profitable.
"At that time, the creditor came to the door to ask for the account, did not listen to your explanation, did not tell you any reason, and pointed and scolded people is still good." Xiao Shen said, "Some ruthless people, seeing that you can't get money, even the office phone, desks, chairs and benches have been moved..."
It's miserable, the past is unbearable to look back on!
What made Zhou Xinghe most memorable was that once at Xiao Shen's sister's house, more than a dozen members of Xiao Shen's family gathered together, and in view of the difficult living conditions of Zhou Xing and his two children, they did not even have a basic livelihood, and tried their best to advise Zhou Xinghe not to think about wrong and give up the unreachable and uneconomical straw building materials research and invention as soon as possible, and do something else instead. Zhou Xinghe understood their painstaking efforts, but did not agree with their idea of quick success, and explained to them softly: "Yes, we are currently very difficult. However, I think this difficulty is only temporary. I believe that if my project is successful, I have not thought about tens of millions of dollars, and my goal is to calculate in billions. ”
Xiao Shen's sister saw that Zhou Xinghe was so obsessed and did not know how to be evil, and in her opinion, she was talking wildly, and she was a little angry. Probably she knew that Zhou Xinghe often stayed overnight at the station because he had no money to stay in a hotel, and she said in a mocking tone: "Hmph, calculated in hundreds of millions? You don't have any money tonight and just went out for the 'night'! One 'night' is one 'billion', and two 'nights' is two 'billion'! ......”
According to Zhou Xing's usual personality, he would definitely flick his sleeves away, but this time when he heard this, he just calmly said to her: "Sister, what you just said should be a spur to me Zhou Xinghe." ”
In fact, Zhou Xinghe really did not say wild words, and the facts proved his prediction in the future.
"Yes, in today's society, people do a little thing, and what they want is to see the benefits of immediate results and bran and rice. It is too rare for a person like Zhou Xinghe to focus on the future, handle the relationship between immediate and long-term interests, dive into invention and creation, and persistently pursue his life ideals! In the process of writing, a writer friend of the author, listening to me talk about the process of Zhou Xinghe's invention and creation, he commented with emotion, "In our current society, why is the manufacture of counterfeiting and counterfeiting repeatedly prohibited, the phenomenon of corruption emerging endlessly, and some people even risk killing their heads and going to jail to sell drugs, sell guns, abduct women and children, just want to take the shortcut of the outbreak, fantasize that when they wake up, they will become billionaires!" ”
Oh, here is a detail to explain to the reader: I don't know if it is a ghost to make a difference, or to grow melons to get melons, the group of people who came to the "Galaxy Company" in Nanjiang County to force debts mentioned earlier, Zhou Xinghe owed them more than 1,000 yuan, but they forcibly seized and drove away a car worth more than 20,000 yuan. There were 8 people in their car, and because the condition of the car was really bad, the road back to Nanjiang was not easy, and before the car reached Nanjiang, it turned over the bottom of the cliff - they really didn't have enough to lose! The crash left one of them seriously injured and seven lightly injured. Due to the injury of the other party, the entire vehicle was scrapped, and the matter was closed.
On September 5, 2021, the "Voice of the People" column on page 38 of the fourth issue of "Clean Government Internal Reference" published the headline "A Subversive Revolution in the Field of Mainland Architecture and Building Materials", in which the third section (page 42) of the subtitle "May the great invention of Xinghe new materials be vigorously promoted by the state and benefit mankind": "In today's China, there are two people and two projects to use the high-tech achievements developed by themselves to go to the world: one is Mr. Yuan Longping and his hybrid rice, which are solving people's feeding problems; One is Mr. Zhou Xinghe and his straw building materials, which are solving people's housing problems." In line with the great strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and technology.
