Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 349 What is VCD?
Wang Haifu approached Wang Weidong and asked, "Can you ask someone to send Xiaolong back to that school again?"

"Dad, do you know how difficult it is to send a child to a good school? Ordinary relationships won't work! When Brother Ji Wu goes back, let him take Xiaolong back. Going to school in a poor mountain village, I think it's better than going to school in a poor mountain village." It's better here." Wang Weidong said.

"Ji Wu's daughter-in-law is pregnant. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are very happy. Whether it is a grandson or a granddaughter, this time I can finally hug her!" Wang Haifu continued.

"This is a good thing." Wang Weidong said.

Chen Jiwu got married in his early thirties. Now he is 34 years old and his wife is pregnant.

"I'm sorry to tell you what old Chen said. We are good friends. He vaguely revealed it to me. Chen Jiwu is now a battalion-level cadre. For him, between the ages of 35 and 40 is a hurdle. If you are promoted to a regiment position, you can only retire. You are doing such a big business now. If Chen Jiwu retires in the future and returns to the armed forces department of our Xiangyang Chemical Factory, it will be really meaningless. Why don’t you let him work in your factory in the future? , are all trusted by my family." Wang Haifu said.

Hearing what his father said, Wang Weidong immediately shook his head: "It's okay to give money, but it's not okay to give positions! The company is full of family members, that's not good." Wang Weidong said.

A person like Chen Jiwu is also a down-to-earth person in the enterprise, and will not cause you any trouble. "Wang Haifu persuaded.

"Of course I know this, but I still think it's not good. It's really not good. Before he is discharged from the army, you can tell me. I will find a relationship and arrange him in a better place. If he wants to start his own business, I will Give him money to support him," Wang Weidong said.

"Retired army cadres are all degraded and used. In fact, local governments are generally unwilling to accept such cadres. Their own people can't arrange and promote them. Who is willing to accept cadres from outside? Many retired army cadres like Chen Jiwu are Go to the local area and give it to a casual section chief or deputy section chief or something like that.

Hearing that his son was willing to help, Wang Haifu was very happy.

"Lao Chen and I will tell him what you said later, and he will be happy!" Wang Haifu said.

Now that the family has returned to a harmonious state, the only one who feels unhappy is Xiaolong. Wang Weidong brought a child back, and Xiaolong found that most of his mother's attention was shifted to this child.

Although grandma Huang Guiying assured herself that the child was not his, other people always beat around the bush to find out the origin of the child. Wang Weidong had no choice but to say that the child actually belonged to a friend of his.

Hearing this explanation, everyone else immediately became enlightened.

After Wang Weidong stayed at home for two days, he hurried to Yao Qiming's home, and then asked Yao Qiming to take him to meet those experts and skilled workers from the big northern countries in Harbin.

More than half of these people have already flown back to the northern country from Harbin, and it will take more than half a month before they can come back.

Wang Weidong invited the remaining ten or so people to dinner.Then I bought a gift and went to Professor Zhang's house to pay New Year's greetings.

"It's not enough to always rely on experts from these big northern countries. We must have our own talents in electron tubes." Wang Weidong said.

"I was a college student majoring in radio in the 50s. At that time, I only studied electron tubes, but now I study transistors in college." Professor Zhang said.

"In half a year's time, the skilled workers from the big northern countries will go back, and the workers I have trained can fully take over. But there are no technical experts for development." Wang Weidong said.

"The University of Technology is one of the top engineering colleges in our country. The state invests hundreds of millions of dollars every year. It sounds like a lot of money, but it is not much allocated to various departments and disciplines. If you want, I can help you contact the school. Set up one or two research groups on electron tubes in the school, but you have to invest at least hundreds of thousands." Professor Zhang said.

Now universities are different from before. When they compete with each other, it depends on who publishes more papers and who publishes higher-level papers.There is another very important item, that is who gets the most funds for the project.

Pulling in projects and funds from outside is also generating income for the university.

"It's no problem

, I will take out 50 yuan to do a project on electron tubes, and Professor Zhang will take the lead, conduct research, and bring out a few graduate students who study electron tubes. I will use such people in the future! "Wang Weidong said.

"I have done a lot of projects over the years, but this is the first time I have done a project for a private company." Professor Zhang said with a smile.

Wang Weidong only stayed at home for four or five days and was anxious to go back.

This time, his father-in-law Mrs. Chen, his mother-in-law Mrs. Chen, and Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng all persuaded Chen Jihong to go back with Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong took out 200 yuan and gave it to Xiaolong.

"This 100 yuan is your lucky money, and the other 100 yuan is for buying more delicious food to bring back to your classmates before leaving." Wang Weidong instructed.

When Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong, who was holding the child, walked out from the exit of the Beijing Railway Station, Song Yu and Ou Xiaoyang, who were standing more than 20 meters away, saw this scene.

Song Yu said with emotion: "I really admire Weidong, he is still amazing!"

"Don't mobilize the crowd. What are all the New Year's Eve people running out to do? I'll call you after the two of us live in the hotel. We'll have a meal and then I'll go back to Fushan." Wang Weidong said.

"That's okay, they are all comrades in the trenches." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"Sit in the car, Wang Weidong said to Song Yu: "It's better to take me to Jianguo Hotel, I have lived there these few times, and it feels pretty good. "

Song Yu shook his head and said, "It's better to stay at my place. Anyway, it's empty there. It's more convenient for you two to live there with your children than in a hotel."

Song Yu has his own house in the capital, and Wang Weidong once lived in it.

There are dozens of videotapes of the Hong Kong Island female star that Song Yu likes in the room.

Walking into Song Yu's house in the capital, Wang Weidong scanned the living room subconsciously. He was surprised to find that all the video tapes and VCRs were gone, and what was placed in the living room was a small Kenwood LD DVD player.

There are a stack of plastic boxes on the DVD player, which contain huge discs one by one.

Seeing that Wang Weidong was interested in this DVD player, Song Yu explained: "I asked a friend to bring this back from my notebook. I brought back two sets in total, one for my parents and one for myself. These two ld The DVD player cost me 7 yuan!"

Of course, 7 yuan is in RMB, not Japanese yen, which means that a Kenwood LD DVD player costs 5000 yuan.

"Discs are also expensive, only a few hundred dollars!" Song Yu continued.

Several Japanese companies have been producing this kind of ld DVD player since the 80s, but the price is too high compared to the VCR, and it is not affordable for ordinary Chinese.

In China, there is no market for this tens of thousands of LD players.
