Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 21
Wang Weidong didn't hear his grandma's report until he went home to cook at night, and he hurried to find his father, Wang Haifu.

Wang Haifu explained what he knew to his son carefully and asked: "The work problem will be solved sooner or later, take your time, it's good to find a job in peace, don't be a moth!"

"Am I doing it for myself? I'm worried about the disabled youth in the factory like Liu Jianguo! Thinking of them, my own interests are nothing!" Wang Weidong replied loudly.

Wang Haifu was so choked by his son that he couldn't speak.

"It's too late today, you should prepare to go tomorrow morning." Wang Haifu said helplessly.

Wang Weidong hurried to Liu Jianguo's house as soon as he left the house.

Liu Jianguo's parents were at home, and the three of them had already finished their meal.

"Jianguo, come with me tomorrow to report to Director Shi about the establishment of a radio factory that we have agreed upon. Tonight, the two of us will have a good discussion, and at least draw a blueprint of the radio." Wang Weidong said.

The factory director of Xiangyang Chemical Factory is a bureau-level cadre, at the same level as the Mushi district leaders, and now the factory director actually has to listen to reports from two young men.

Liu Jianguo's parents had also met the great leaders, but their eyes widened in surprise when they heard Wang Weidong say that.

When Liu Jianguo saw Wang Weidong wink at him, he knew that the letter he wrote to the leader pretending to be his mother had worked.

Liu Jianguo took Wang Weidong to his hut.

Wang Weidong pointed to the stacks of radio magazines and said: "Choose one with a simple circuit from these magazines, and trace the circuit diagram on it, as well as the casing, and tomorrow we will report to the factory manager with the diagram."

"It's much simpler. What kind of one should you find?" Liu Jianguo asked.

Wang Weidong thought for a while and said: "Small size, simple structure, and fewer parts, the better. Fast installation and low cost. Also, install a large battery in the radio."

Nowadays, people's income is low, and it is not a small expense to buy batteries. Larger batteries can save more money.

In this era, no one has heard the term intellectual property rights. Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo looked through dozens of radio magazines and found a few suitable radio blueprints for comparison.

"I think this radio is more suitable. There are only two filters, and the structure is very simple." Liu Jianguo opened a magazine and handed it to Wang Weidong.

"What does filtering mean?" Wang Weidong asked.

Liu Jianguo thought about how to explain so that Wang Weidong could understand.

"It is to make the noise of the radio less, and the listening effect is better." Liu Jianguo said.

"The radio can receive the national one, the provincial and local stations, and the listening effect is enough. Listening to news storytelling and cross talk, there is no need to filter." Wang Weidong said.

In addition to storytelling, master Hou, who talks about cross talk, has come out again recently and is very popular with the masses.

Liu Jianguo is a radio enthusiast and pursues excellence, so he disagrees with Wang Weidong's opinion.

However, Wang Weidong insisted, and finally the two reached a compromise to use only one filter, saving a triode and several resistors, and simplifying the circuit.

In the end, Liu Jianguo drew a blueprint of a radio with only a dozen components, including the horn, magnet, diode, transistor, resistors and capacitors. The circuit board is sparse and the structure is very simple.

Liu Jianguo drew the radio casing from the magazine intact.

This radio has the words "Hongmei" in the lower right corner, which is the trademark brand.

"Let's keep this place for now. When we report tomorrow, let Factory Manager Shi name this radio!" Wang Weidong said.

He felt that Director Shi must be very willing to do this.

"Can we make such a simple radio tonight and play it in front of Director Shi tomorrow, and the effect will be better." Wang Weidong said.

"But I don't have all the components here, so I may not be able to make this radio." Liu Jianguo replied regretfully.

"What else is there?" Wang Weidong asked.

"There is still a triode and a few resistors, and there is no magnetic rod." Liu Jianguo replied.

"Don't you have a radio in your house? I'll bring my radio too, so I can make up this radio! It's a big deal to dismantle it after it's used up." Wang Weidong said.

Before Liu Jianguo could answer, he turned around and left.

When he ran home, Wang Weidong saw his grandma sitting on the Kang and listening to the radio. Wang Weidong picked up the radio and ran outside without saying a word!

Back in Liu Jianguo's country, Wang Weidong saw Liu Jianguo cutting a piece of paper with scissors.

"If there is no circuit board, use this to deal with it, and then connect it with wires." Liu Jianguo explained.

Use a multimeter to measure the resistance on the radio and remove the appropriate one.If you can't find it, you can only deal with it by one or two ohms to see the effect.

Wang Weidong sat on the sidelines and watched Liu Jianguo insert the legs of each component on the paper shell and connect them with wires, and finally solder the wires to the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

Turning the capacitor switch, Wang Weidong heard a clear click from the speaker.

Liu Jianguo turned the knob and there was a rustling sound from the speaker, and then heard a clear voice, which was National TV Station.

"Tune to the provincial station! Tomorrow morning we will wait outside the factory director's office at six o'clock, and we will follow in when the factory director arrives at the office at seven o'clock. It happens to be the time when the provincial news rebroadcasts. Besides, The listening effect of the provincial radio station is also the best." Wang Weidong explained.

Liu Jianguo turned the knob carefully again, and after a while, he heard a clearer voice: "I'll come for two or two if I'm hungry—"

Both Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo couldn't help laughing.

Provincial TV is now broadcasting the crosstalk "Drunk Song", which is performed by a well-known young crosstalk actor surnamed Shi in Heilongjiang Province. The humorous crosstalk is very popular among the masses.

Today, Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo feel very different when listening to this cross talk. This is the fruit of their labor and their hope for the future!

"Jianguo, we must work hard for our better tomorrow!"

Liu Jianguo nodded heavily.

At 06:30 the next morning, on the way to the production area of ​​the factory, Wang Weidong held a cardboard box carefully with his hands outstretched, and Liu Jianguo followed closely behind him leaning on a single crutch.

The two walked into the small office building of the factory, walked up to the second floor and stood outside the factory director's office.

Factory Manager Shi rode his bicycle to the bottom of the office building at five minutes to seven.He locked his bicycle and walked up to the second floor, when he saw two young men standing at the end of the corridor.

Holding the cardboard box, Wang Weidong hurriedly greeted him and bowed: "Director Shi, I am Wang Weidong, and I am here to report my thoughts to the leader today! This is my classmate Liu Jianguo, and we are together."

"You are the grandson of Mr. Wang? You are the son of Mr. Fu? You are the successors of the old workers. Let me come to the office and talk about it!" Director Shi said enthusiastically.
