Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

The hotel is relatively clean, the beds and quilts are relatively clean, especially to Wang Weidong's surprise, there is a shower for bathing in the hotel, and hot water is provided 24 hours a day.

After a day and a night of driving, Wang Weidong felt his body was sticky to the lake, so he and Guan Tingting had a quick bite of food in the small state-owned restaurant outside, and then returned to the hotel.

Turn on the shower head, hot water rushes down, and the bathroom is suddenly shrouded in white mist.

The hot water splashed on his body, taking away the exhaustion all over his body, and Wang Weidong hummed happily.

"Pull the radish ~ pull the radish ~ hey yo yo ~ hey yo yo ~ hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey yo hey yo hey yo hey yo hey yo yo

"Zhining."

The bathroom door opened silently, Wang Weidong stopped singing and looked towards the door.

Guan Tingting came in wearing slippers.

She said shyly, "Brother Hong Chang, let me wipe your back for you."

Guan Tingting's initiative exceeded Wang Weidong's expectations. People in this era are still very conservative in their bones. Even couples who have been married for many years will not be so honest with each other.

Just thinking that Guan Tingting is a college graduate, majored in media, has been exposed to a lot of Western culture, and has a more open personality than ordinary people, Wang Weidong immediately felt relieved.

It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together.

The two immediately pulled out carrots in the bathroom.

The next day.

Sunlight fell on Wang Weidong's cheeks through the glass window, gently waking him up.

Opening her eyes, she saw Guan Tingting resting her chin on her hands, staring at him curiously with wide eyes.

Seeing Wang Weidong waking up, Guan Tingting wasn't shy at all, she leaned forward and took the initiative to give a mouthful.

After some lingering, Guan Tingting snuggled into Wang Weidong's arms, played with his big and strong palms, and said in a soft voice: "Let's go to the park today. Liu Tongjian has already told me about the interview. It must be reported to the newspaper for approval."

"Okay, if it can be published in the newspaper, it will be more beneficial to our recruitment. We can't rush to contact the university now." Wang Weidong nodded.

Guan Tingting immediately became excited when she heard the words: "I have studied in Beijing for four years, and I am very familiar with the surrounding attractions. Let me be your guide today."

Wang Weidong reached out and pinched her little nose, and said, "Then I will take care of Comrade Tingting."

In fact, Wang Weidong is more familiar with the capital than Guan Tingting. He was in the first week, but he has lived in the capital for decades.

I don't know what's going on in the Siheyuan?Without my interference, how did the plot of the original work develop?
Thinking of this, Wang Weidong felt a little interest.

While Guan Tingting was taking Wang Weidong for a tour in the capital, Liu Tongjian came to the newspaper early in the morning.

Putting the document package on the table, Liu Tongjian knocked on the door of Editor-in-Chief Zhou's office.

Editor-in-Chief Zhou raised his head from the manuscript, saw that it was Liu Tongjian, and asked with a pleasant expression, "Tongjian, so early? Could it be that the manuscript is finished?"

Liu Tongjian is the writer of "Science and Technology Times". His articles are full of emotion and emotion, and are very popular among readers.

"It's already been written, but I want to change the subject." Liu Tongjian said.

...

"Change the subject? Isn't the latest plow developed by the Dongfang Tractor Factory very good? The comrades from the Tractor Factory have called several times to urge them."

"Editor-in-Chief, take a look at this." Liu Tongjian placed the materials of the Orchid Color TV on the editor-in-chief's desk.

Editor-in-Chief Zhou picked up the material and read it carefully, and immediately frowned: "Tongjian, a month ago, you were going to write an article about Lanhua's TV, so our newspaper office specially applied for a quota from the above. Approved an Orchid TV set.

To be honest, the color display of Orchid TV is much better than that of my family.

I heard that the picture tube used in the TV is still produced by the Lanhua TV Factory.

For such a TV, we really should promote it vigorously.

but.

After all, the Lanhua TV Factory is located in Ningzhou City. Even if we send people to Ningzhou to interview the comrades of the TV Factory, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.

"There's no need to go to Ningzhou. Liu Hongchang from the Lanhua TV Factory is now in the capital."

"Really? We contacted the reception desk of the Lanhua TV Factory a while ago. According to the female section chief of the Lanhua TV Factory, Liu Hongchang is so busy all day long, why did he come to the capital?"

Liu Tongjian explained the reason for Wang Weidong's visit.

Editor-in-Chief Zhou's eyes lit up, and he was amazed: "Hey, this Director Liu is really interesting. Even though the Lanhua TV Factory became popular in China with its color TV, it is a small local company after all. The factory is now preparing to build a research and development center, it is a joke."

Liu Tongjian shook his head and said: "At first I also thought that Lanhua TV Factory was a sudden whim, but after meeting with Liu Hongchang, I found that he is a very pragmatic and far-sighted person.

In his view, in the future, science and technology will be the primary productive force. If we fail to vigorously develop science and technology, then we will have to endure the exploitation of large foreign companies, or even be pinched by the neck.

These words made Editor-in-Chief Zhou nod his head again and again. He came from the era of poverty and poverty, so he naturally understood the truth that lagging behind would inevitably lead to be beaten.

"It seems that this Liu Hongchang is indeed a character. What he is doing now is beneficial to the country and the people. As newspapers, we should also do our best. The next issue of the newspaper will be printed the day after tomorrow. You can find Liu Hongchang immediately. Do an interview."

"Understood, I'll go right away."

Liu Tongjian nodded heavily, left the newspaper office, got on his bicycle and headed to the hotel.

But after arriving at the hotel, it was discovered that Wang Weidong had gone out with Guan Tingting.

"It's really strange. They are here to do business, why do they go to the park?"

Hearing from the waiter that the two had booked tickets to the park, Liu Tongjian sat in the lobby of the hotel and scratched his head in doubt.

He was puzzled.

the other side.

Wang Weidong took Guan Tingting out of the People's Park, originally planning to go back to the hotel, but Guan Tingting suddenly had a whim and wanted to go to the bridge to watch juggling.

The policy has been relaxed a lot these years, and Tianqiao has gradually become lively as a gathering place for folk performances.

When you come to the capital, if you don’t visit the overpass, it’s like visiting for nothing.

...

The overpass existed as early as the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally just an ordinary bridge, but only the emperor was allowed to walk here, so it was named overpass.

At that time, in addition to cross talk, drum books, diabolo, wrestling, and boxing, there were also venues for Sanxian, Henan Zhuizi, Shuoqing, horse racing, stilts, lotus falling, bamboo boards, and plasters.

After liberation, the vendors and houses on both sides of the original overpass underwent large-scale renovations, making it more suitable for ordinary people to entertain.

Wang Weidong and Guan Tingting walked and watched all the way, and bought half a catty of cut cakes from the stall selling yellow rice noodle sliced ​​cakes, ready to go back to the hotel.

When passing by the overpass, he deliberately looked under the overpass, but he didn't find Sha Zhu's figure.

It immediately occurred to him that the time has just entered the 80s, Lou Xiao'e has not come back, and the white-eyed wolves of the Jia family have not yet happened to fight for Shazhu's family property.

Back at the hotel, Wang Weidong saw Liu Tongjian.

"Reporter Liu, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It didn't take long. I've got the newspaper's approval to interview you."

"It's a good thing, let's go, let's talk in the room."

Three days later, in the newspaper kiosks in the streets and alleys, the boss comrades put the latest issue of "Science and Technology Times" on the top.

Because the headline on the front page of the newspaper had a huge headline: "The scenery here is unique, let's see how the Lanhua TV Factory broke through the difficulties and obstacles, and broke the monopoly of foreign TV giants on high-end color picture tubes!" "

As newspaper sellers, those bosses and comrades all have keen eyesight. With this title alone, this issue of "Science and Technology Times" must be a big hit.

really.

As soon as the newsstand opened, several passers-by were attracted by the headlines, took a second look before approaching, and threw out a dime.

"Comrade, here's a newspaper."

Without waiting for Comrade Boss to react, he held the newspaper and read it in front of the newsstand.

Soon, many passers-by gathered in front of the newsstand. After reading the newspaper, they did not leave, but instead had a heated discussion.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there are high-end picture tubes in China. It's really amazing."

"It's probably bragging. I have a relative who often travels abroad. He said that domestic TVs use technologies that have been eliminated from abroad. Besides, this Lanhua TV factory is just a small local factory. How could it be possible to develop Where's the picture tube!"

"It shouldn't be so, this is the "Science and Technology Times". Can newspapers tell lies?"

"Don't talk about that, don't you think it's strange for a chef to become the director of a TV factory?"

"What's so strange? Do you still need to see your background when you're doing work?"

For a while, a big discussion arose in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Everyone is excited that Lanhua TV Factory can develop a high-end color display tube, but there are also many people who express doubts about this news.After all, in that era, it was obvious to all that the domestic light industry was underdeveloped.

As one of the most famous universities in Beijing, students from Qinghuachi University naturally joined the discussion.

Especially students majoring in radio, they have a clearer understanding of the status of domestic TV sets, so they simply don't believe that Lanhua TV Factory has such high-end technology.

...

Zhou Yang, a senior student, is one of them. As a top student majoring in radio, he has already completed his graduation defense ahead of schedule and has reserved a place for a government-sponsored study abroad, so he does not need to prepare for graduation like other students.

When he saw the newspaper, he had just finished brushing his teeth and was about to fetch water with a kettle in his hand.

As soon as I walked to the door of the dormitory, I saw my classmate Zhang Hang running over, holding a newspaper in his hand, and said excitedly: "Old Zhou, good news, we also have high-end display tubes in China."

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and said: "How is this possible! My graduation thesis is about display tubes. Now the high-end display tubes in the world are all monopolized by Xiaori. It is impossible to rely on domestic technology and equipment. developed."

"It's really written on it, and Liu Hongchang, the director of the Lanhua TV Factory in Ningzhou, said it himself. You can't believe it!" Zhang Hang knew that Zhou Yang had always worshiped foreigners, so he deliberately said in a condescending tone.

Sure enough, after Zhou Yang heard this, he threw the kettle on the table angrily: "Nonsense, it's nonsense, isn't "Science and Technology Times" talking nonsense? No, I have to report them!"

In fact, he is not interested in the reports of "Science and Technology Times". He has already planned to find a way to stay abroad when he goes abroad.Never come back for a lifetime.

He was angry simply because he felt his own beliefs had been insulted.

How can the moon in foreign countries not be rounder than that in China!
At this time, the surrounding students also noticed Zhou Yang's actions, but the big guys didn't stop him.

Zhou Yang always talks about the benefits of foreign countries on weekdays, but he hates everything in China. The big guys have long been dissatisfied with him.

If there is no education subsidy provided by the country, can Zhou Yang's family afford to go to university?
Newspaper office, big office.

Liu Tongjian was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.

He is now waiting for the sales data of "Science and Technology Times". In order to help Lanhua TV Factory win the headline position, Liu Tongjian issued a military order in front of the editor-in-chief.

If the sales volume of this issue of "Science and Technology Times" cannot be more than that of the previous issue, he will have to clean the big office for a month.

Seeing Liu Tongjian's appearance, the colleagues around laughed and said, "Tongjian, do you regret it? Let me tell you, you shouldn't compete for the headline position. It's just a local TV factory. Is it an important slot?"

"You don't understand!" Liu Tongjian shook his head and said.

What he did was completely in line with Wang Weidong's grand plan.

Wang Weidong only revealed a corner of the big plan to Liu Tongjian, and he was shocked.

If everything goes well, it will only be a matter of time before China regains its standing on the top of the world.

Even if Liu Tongjian made up his mind, he would do his part.

Besides, compared with the predecessors who threw their heads and blood, if he failed, he would just sweep the office for a month, so why not be afraid.

Just when Liu Tongjian was about to go back to work, the editor-in-chief came out with a data sheet in his hand.

He cheered up and said, "Everyone, we succeeded this time! Yesterday's newspaper sales doubled!"

"Hiss twice, did you make a mistake!"

"Are you kidding, the data is passed down from above, how could it be wrong!"

"Liu Tongjian really has eyes, let him pick up a loophole this time."

"Really, why didn't I know Liu Hongchang? Otherwise, this opportunity would be mine."

There was a burst of envy, jealousy and hatred in the office.

The editor-in-chief stepped forward, patted Liu Tongjian on the shoulder, and said, "You did a good job. I will help you apply for a prize at the end of this month. I will also send this article to the awards."

"Thank you, editor-in-chief. It's not my credit that the newspaper can sell well, but the color picture tube developed by Lanhua TV Factory, which really shocked the people of the country."

Before Liu Tongjian finished speaking, he heard a burst of cynicism coming from the door.

"Shocking the people of the country? I think it's more or less deceiving the people of the country!"
