Packard knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Niu Xiaoqiang's expression, only to see him sigh and say helplessly: "There were originally more than 20 scientific researchers here, but later due to economic reasons, the laboratory had to reduce its expenses, and now there are only five people left." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated: "Where else has one person gone?"

"He's been busy applying for patents these days, and he should be back at this time. ”

As soon as Packard's words fell, a loud voice came from the back door: "Little Packard, don't bother with the idea of patents, no matter what you say, I will not agree to sell patents cheaply!"

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look, only to see a thin old man walking in through the back door. The man had gray hair, wore an old trench coat, and had a somewhat messy beard, which made him a raunchy man at first glance.

Packard, who looked a little unruly, immediately became cautious when facing this old man, only to see him look embarrassed: "Uncle Sam, I don't mean to sell the patent, don't get me wrong." ”

Packard felt a little embarrassed after speaking, and explained to Niu Xiaoqiang in a low voice: "Uncle Sam is the chief engineer of Packard Automobile Company, and he has been working in the company for almost forty years, and he has a lot of affection for the company, no matter how difficult the company is, he has never chosen to leave. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly, and said in his heart: The emotional family is the elder of the company, no wonder Packard respects him so much.

Sam took off his trench coat and threw it on the back chair, then asked in an interrogatory tone, "Little Packard, what is this Oriental man doing, and why did you bring him to the lab?"

Packard hurriedly explained the matter of the gambling agreement, and Sam looked at Niu Xiaoqiang in disbelief after hearing it: "Little guy, are you sure you want to do this?"

Everyone knows that Packard Motor Company is about to be completely finished, and at this time, there are still people willing to take a stake in it and sign a gambling agreement, which is a bit unbelievable in Sam's opinion.

Niu Xiaoqiang showed a very respectful smile: "Mr. Sam, there is no need to doubt my determination, I hope that we can work together in the future to reverse the unfavorable situation and give Packard Automobile Company a new life." ”

Sam laughed when he heard this, "You kid is very good at talking, I hope you are not a person who can only talk about it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang has realized Sam's high status in the company, and if he wants to implement his plan smoothly, he must have Sam's full support, otherwise it will delay things.

Through Niu Xiaoqiang's short observation, he has seen that Sam is a stubborn person and is also very arrogant. If nothing else, his pride comes from his skills.

You can't be too blunt to deal with this kind of person, you have to say good things to open up the situation, as long as you get the favor of the other party, you can easily establish a good personal relationship with the other party.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "Of course I am not a person who can only talk about it, and I also have certain skills, of course, compared to Uncle Sam, the skills I have are not enough." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang is throwing bricks and bricks, deliberately revealing that he is a knowledgeable person, and when Sam is interested, he can take the opportunity to discuss and communicate with the other party, so as to show his strength.

Niu Xiaoqiang knows that it is useless to just say good things to people like Sam, you must have the ability to do it, otherwise the more you say good things, the more disgusted the other party will be.

Sam was interested, tilting his head and asking, "How old are you?" and where did you learn the technology?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said honestly: "I am eighteen years old this year, and all the techniques you learned from my master, don't look at my age, but I have been studying with my master for more than ten years." ”

Not only Sam, but the other three people present were all shocked when they heard this. Linda, in particular, was dumbfounded, "In other words, how old were you to learn the technology of automobiles with your master?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded: "To be precise, I started learning before I was seven years old, of course, at that time, I didn't learn automobile-related technology, but industrial processing technology." ”

Sam seemed a little unconvinced, and asked, "What kind of industrial processing technology?"

"It is mainly for processing machinery parts, such as bearings, transmission shafts and so on. ”

Sam reached out and pointed to the equipment placed in the corner of the laboratory: "There is a high-precision CNC machine out there, don't lie, otherwise we will be able to verify it immediately." ”

Sam seems to be deliberately embarrassed by Niu Xiaoqiang, which is not to say that he is difficult to get along with, but he deliberately wants to investigate Niu Xiaoqiang to see what kind of goods the new largest shareholder of the company is.

If it turns out that Niu Xiaoqiang is indeed a talent, Sam doesn't mind cooperating with his work. If Niu Xiaoqiang is not that material, then I'm embarrassed, where to stay cool, even if it is the largest shareholder of the company, don't want to point fingers at him.

Don't underestimate people like Sam, his prestige in the company is very lofty, if you can't have a good relationship with him, people can pull people to do it against you. If you use administrative means to forcibly suppress him, he can easily resign the company's key technical personnel with him. That's a terrible thing.

Therefore, even if Sam's tone was full of unfriendliness, Niu Xiaoqiang had to lower his profile. Anyway, he is very confident in his skills, just inspect it, it's not a big deal.

I saw him smile slightly: "Mr. Sam knows at a glance that he is a real person, in order to completely reassure Your Excellency about me, I can demonstrate it on the spot." ”

Sam snorted, "Then go over and demonstrate." ”

The group walked up to the machine, and Sam reminded, "This machine is not cheap, you should be careful not to break it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang once saw this machine tool in the laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to Professor Watson, such a machine tool is worth $1.8 million in the United States, in China - sorry, China can't buy it, people don't sell it to you at all.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I promise not to break the machine tool, if it is broken, I will compensate according to the original price." ”

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he began to check the status of the machine tool, and the process of his inspection was all carried out in accordance with the process of the manual. He thought to himself: It seems that this kid really didn't say big things, but he just didn't know what his skill level was?
