Counterattack 1988

Chapter 712 The Travel of Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu【Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass】

In the auditorium of the China Cotton Institute, the applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

Attending this ceremony were not only the leaders of the China Cotton Institute, but also leading comrades from cities, towns and villages.

Wang Lin was invited to speak on stage.

Seeing the black mass of heads, Wang Lin cleared his throat.

He is a business owner, and he is now in charge of [-] to [-] employees. He is used to speaking and admonishing him, and he can handle so many people with ease.

"All of you here are scientists and leaders. I'm just a textile worker. I feel uneasy if I want to talk about the past and present of cotton in front of you."

He thought that this opening remark was not bad, but he didn't get the expected applause.

Wang Lin had no choice but to continue talking on his own:
"The human industrial revolution began with the emergence of the internal combustion engine, and the internal combustion engine is inseparable from energy. Whether it is coal, oil, or natural gas, they all belong to energy. They are known as the industrial blood of a country. However, cotton is also an indispensable part of the human industrial revolution. .The first industrial revolution of mankind began with the textile industry.”

"Although cotton is called a flower, it is not a flower. Its classification of species is more complicated. Cotton belongs to the Malvaceae under the Malvaceae, the Hibiscus family under the Malvaceae, and the cotton genus under the Hibiscus family. In Botany In fact, the scientific name of cotton is cotton boll, also called cotton boll, which is a kind of herbaceous plant.”

When he said this, he smiled softly: "I'm not buying talents, my poor knowledge about cotton is also learned from director Xing Wending and a young doctoral student named Mianling after I came to the China Cotton Institute. , I call it learning and selling now.”

Logically speaking, there should be laughter and applause at this moment.

However, those sitting in the audience were all scientists. They were good at academics, but they were not so good at dealing with the world, so no one laughed or applauded.

Wang Lin didn't feel embarrassed and continued talking.

On this stage, even if he had to bite the bullet, he had to continue his speech.

This is the first time he has given a speech in front of so many scientists!
There are also academicians sitting below!
"The growth of cotton is divided into four stages. The first stage is germination, the second stage is flowering, the third stage is bearing fruit, and the fourth stage is fruit cracking, exposing the cotton fibers inside. These flocculent Fiber, processed and spun into cloth, becomes one of the most important industrial raw materials in the world."

"Cotton in the world is divided into three categories, namely Asian cotton, African cotton and American cotton.

But the ancestors of these three types of cotton are all African kapok.In other words, all the cotton in the world originated in Africa, which also paved the way for Europeans to regard cotton as a treasure in the future.

Cotton is a subtropical plant and has strict requirements on the growth environment. For example, the temperature during the growth period should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius, and it is best to keep it above 16 degrees Celsius. It also needs sufficient light and a large amount of water. "

"That's why there is Asian cotton, African cotton, American cotton, but there is no European cotton. Before the Middle Ages, Europe was cold, humid, and lacked sunlight, so even if cotton seeds fell on them, they would not grow.

Because cotton needs to grow in a subtropical environment, there are not many areas suitable for growing cotton in my country. Nanhai Island and Leizhou Peninsula are counted as a cotton-producing area. In addition, there is a cotton-producing area in Dali to the south of Caiyun, and there is a new province. The area is gone.These cotton-producing areas are all far away from the Central Plains, and they were remote areas in ancient times, and some places were even outside the control of the Central Plains Dynasty.Therefore, before the Song and Yuan Dynasties, cotton was invisible in the Central Plains.At that time, high-ranking officials and dignitaries wore clothes made of silk; the poor wore clothes made of linen. "

"When did the Central Plains come into contact with cotton? At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a historical celebrity named Huang Daopo came out of Songjiang Prefecture, who was regarded as the originator of China's textile industry. Huang Daopo was a child bride for a wealthy family when she was young. , and later unbearable abuse by her husband's family, she fled to Nanhai Island. During her stay in Nandaohai, she learned how to grow cotton from the local Li people and how to spin cotton into thread and then weave cloth. Huang Daopo was around 50 years old , returned to his hometown in Songjiang Prefecture, and brought the cotton planting technology and textile technology back to Songjiang Prefecture. The technology quickly spread from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the Central Plains. Since then, the people in the Central Plains have finally come into contact with cotton and cotton cloth. Songjiang The region has become the center of the cotton textile industry in the country. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanjing also established the Jiangning Weaving House, specializing in the production of silk and cotton cloth.”

"The cotton cloth produced in the Songjiang area, due to its exquisite craftsmanship, high quality and low price, soon replaced silk and became an important export product of our country. In the history of modern trade in the world, the famous Nanjing cloth and Songjiang cloth have been exported to Europe. The Qing Dynasty In the 24th year of Jiaqing, the export volume of Songjiang cloth reached more than [-] million pieces."

Wang Lin talked eloquently and reviewed the history of cotton.

However, there was no interaction in the audience.

No laughter, no applause.

Wang Lin suddenly understood that just because the audience was a group of serious scientists, they thought that listening carefully was the greatest respect for the speaker.

Therefore, Wang Lin continued to speak.

"In 1969, my country replaced the Oriental country as the world's largest exporter of cotton cloth, replaced the United States as the world's largest producer of cotton yarn; in 1988, my country became the largest exporter of clothing. It was also in this year that our Aixiu Group was established and established Participated in the first Canton Fair. Among the clothing products exported by my country, we, Aixiu Group, are fortunate to occupy a place. Next, our goal is definitely to become the world's largest exporter of textiles! The textiles of our Aixiu Group will be Work hard for that goal."

"If my country wants to become the only textile center in the world, it needs to have the entire industrial chain of the textile industry from cotton to weaving to printing and dyeing, and then to garments. As the world's largest textile exporter and cotton consumer, last year, my country's annual consumption of cotton is more than 400 million tons, but the annual output of cotton is only 380 million tons. There is still a gap of 40 tons, which needs to be filled through imports. Therefore, we, Aixiu Group, decided to invest in the construction of a 5 mu of cotton production area, reducing dependence on imported cotton."

Wang Lin's voice became high-pitched: "Here, I would like to sincerely thank all the scientists and cotton experts present here. It is because of your efforts that our country's annual cotton production can increase every year, and our country can grow in the world. Today's achievements in the textile industry, your feats will be engraved in the credit book of history. Dear journalists, I have a proposal, you don't want to shoot me anymore, you should point your lens at these great scientists, They are the greatest idols of this era, and they are worthy of our respect!"

The reporters in the audience turned their cameras and took pictures of the scientists.

Wang Lin said with a smile: "In order to better support the cause of cotton scientific research, on behalf of Aishu Group, I donated 500 million RMB to the China Cotton Institute. Thank you, my speech is over."

There was warm applause from the audience.

Wang Lin sweated secretly, and finally he didn't feel ashamed to throw it to the Zhongmian Institute.

Naturally, the leader delivered a passionate speech next.

Wang Lin stepped off the stage and sat down to listen to the speech.

Mianbo was sitting next to him.

"Mr. Wang, you know the history of cotton quite well, which really impresses me." Mianling took the initiative to talk to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin chuckled and said, "It's really learning and selling now. It's all the knowledge I learned from you in Zhongmian."

Mianbo said: "That's what it said, but you can remember it, and say it beautifully, that's very rare."

Wang Lin asked: "Are you really surnamed Mian?"

Mianbo said: "What's wrong?"

Wang Lindao: "The surname Mian is rare. This is the first time I've seen it."

"Mian is indeed a surname, but the population is really small. There are only a thousand people in the whole country! And there are no famous historical figures, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. How can the surname Wang be the whole world? Yes, there are many famous people in history.”

"It's because I'm ignorant." Wang Lin said, "Why did you name it Cotton Boll? Your father likes cotton very much, doesn't it?"

"I'm named after my grandfather."

"Oh, your grandfather must have studied cotton?"

"My grandfather is Director Xing."

"..."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "So that's it. You must have been fascinated by it since you were a child, and the family tradition has been passed down, so you like to study cotton, right?"

Mianbo asked: "There are some factors involved. Mr. Wang, in the eyes of many people, the textile industry is a low-end industry, which is not comparable to those high-tech industries and heavy industries. In developed countries, they have already begun to eliminate the textile industry. You With so much money, why do you want to develop in the textile industry?"

Wang Lindao: "The key is that the textile industry can solve the employment problem of a large number of people, which is in line with our national conditions. The textile industry is not only low-end industries, but also mid-end industries such as printing and dyeing and ginning. And I think that any industry, As long as it is done well, it can be top-notch. The textile industry is not as high-tech as the computer, nor as advanced as the automobile industry, but this industry is very important, and it is related to all aspects of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation."

Mianbo said: "You are very special."

Wang Lindao: "You are even more special."

The two smiled at each other.

The ceremony is finally over.

Wang Lin notified the company's finances that a huge sum of 500 million yuan had been deposited into the corporate account of the China Cotton Institute.

This can also be regarded as Wang Lin's modest contribution to my country's textile industry.

Mianbo will follow Wang Lin to Loudong to guide the early reclamation work in the cotton area.

Wang Lin and the others stayed at the China Cotton Institute for another night.

That night, Xing Wending and others warmly entertained Wang Lin again.

Wang Lin learned his lesson this time and stopped drinking with them.

He underestimated these scientists last night, thinking that those who do research must not drink much, but he accidentally got tricked and got drunk by them.

The next day, Wang Lin bid farewell to the comrades of the China Cotton Research Institute, took cotton bolls and her luggage, and headed for Loudong.

It is a thousand kilometers away from Anyang to Gusu.

After they returned to Gusu, they checked into the hotel first.

Wang Lin discussed with Mianling that they would rent a room for her in a hotel in Gusu City for a long-term stay.

Mianling even said that it was unnecessary, so I will live in Loudong. I am here to work, not to enjoy myself. I am already worthy of the high salary you paid me.

Wang Lin said, then I will find you a better house in Loudong County, if there is no good house, I will rent you a long-term rental house in the guest house in the county. The management of the cotton area here needs to recruit talents. I will leave things to you. You know better than me what kind of talents are suitable for these jobs.

Cotton Bell hummed.

That night, Zhou Boqiang and Guo Lingling returned to the hotel to report to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin first introduced Mianbo to Zhou Boqiang.

Zhou Boqiang is the manager of Aixiu Home Textiles, and also the vice president of Aixiu Group. The cotton area will also be managed by him.

Therefore, Mianbo will contact Zhou Boqiang and hand over the work in the future.

After Zhou Boqiang met Mianling, he said to Wang Lin: "The leaders of Loudong County welcome us to invest in the cotton area, and promised to give us [-] mu of land to cultivate cotton fields."

All of this was within Wang Lin's expectation. Unless the other party didn't want to develop the economy, he would definitely agree to the Aixiu Group's investment.

Zhou Boqiang and Mianling will continue to stay in Loudong, Gusu, to handle the preliminary survey, site selection, and reclamation of the land in the cotton area, and to establish a cotton area company.

Wang Lin, Li Wenjuan and others went back to Shencheng.

Before leaving, Wang Lin had a long talk with Zhou Boqiang and Mianling, and discussed some details about the establishment of cotton districts.

Zhou Boqiang is good at communication and management, and Mianbo is good at technology. With these two people staying in Loudong, Wang Lin is very relieved.

When Wang Lin and the others returned to Shencheng, it was already July [-]th.

And July [-]th, that is, tomorrow, is Deng Lijun's concert.

It is Wang Lin's wish to go to a live concert of Deng Tianhou. Isn't the effort in life just a process of constantly fulfilling wishes?
After returning home, Wang Lin discussed with Li Wenxiu and asked her if she wanted to go to Xiangjiang to watch the show.

Li Wenxiu was also very moved.

Because Li Wenxiu is also a fan of Deng Lijun, she doesn't like to listen to music very much, but she likes listening to Deng Lijun's songs very much, and she never tires of listening to them.

Hearing that she could go to the live concert, Li Wenxiu couldn't help but smiled slightly: "I'll go with you? Are you willing to take me there?"

Wang Lindao: "You are my wife, why can't I take you with me?"

"I'm so stupid, I'm afraid I'll lose your face." Li Wenxiu smiled shyly.

Wang Lindao: "Are you stupid? You are so arrogant! Now that the child is weaned, sister Xu and Xiaodie can stay at home. You should go out and see the world, right?"

Li Wenjuan said: "Sister, let's go together! Let's go together!"

Wang Lindao: "Wenjuan, you can't go, you have to stay here. This time, it's my trip with your sister."

Li Wenjuan is also a fan of Deng Lijun. She listens to songs every day, and the song she listens to the most is Deng Lijun's song. After finally having the opportunity to go to the live show, Wang Lin didn't bring her along?
She was really angry this time. She stomped her feet, pursed her mouth, and tears rolled in her eyes: "Brother-in-law, if you dare not take me with you, I will never talk to you again! I will do what I say !"

Li Wenxiu said: "Why don't you bring her with you?"

She knew that Wang Lin was worried about his family, so he couldn't leave the whole family and his son to two nannies, right?
Li Wenxiu thought for a while and said, "I'll ask my parents to come and stay for a few days."

Wang Lin said helplessly: "You always say that I dote on Wenjuan, but now it's good. Look, who is doting on her!"

Li Wenjuan immediately burst into laughter: "My sister still spoils me! Brother-in-law, you have changed! You have changed your mind!"

"..."

What Wang Lin didn't expect was that when Shen Xue and Zhou Porridge heard that Deng Lijun was going to hold a concert, they both said they would go!

Moreover, the two of them still got the news from different channels, and then contacted Wang Lin alone, asking Wang Lin to take her to the show.

Wang Lin was really dumbfounded now, very embarrassed!

Don't forget, Xiangjiang also has Li Jiaxin!
With so many women, can't they fight in Xiangjiang?
But what can he do?
You can't always favor one over the other, right?

Speaking of which, Deng Lijun's performance was facilitated by Wang Lin.

Fortunately, he dug himself a sinkhole!
