The train driver in the courtyard

Inside the workshop of Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

While eating a cucumber, Yang Jizong recounted what had happened to the Yang family in Gangcheng recently.

After the Canton Fair in Yangcheng, Mr. Yang of the Yang family suddenly fell seriously ill, so Yang Jizong hurriedly left Yangcheng and returned to Hong Kong.

The Yang family is a large family, and Yang Jizon has many uncles.

Ever since Mr. Yang passed away, some people have insisted on cooperating with the mainland and supported Yang Jizong to take the throne.

Some felt that the mainland was just a poor relative, and that dealing with them would not only bring no advantage but also carry risks, so they wanted to cut ties with the mainland and seize control of the Yang family.

In particular, Yang Jizong's uncle had long been dissatisfied with the fact that Mr. Yang favored Yang Jizong.

Moreover, this person has close relations with the underworld in Hong Kong City, and he has both people and money under his command.

The two sides fought fiercely.

In Hong Kong City, family infighting is similar to social infighting, and is always full of blood.

Yang Jizong, as the successor chosen by old man Yang, was young and hot-tempered. After being shot, he wanted to go to war with these uncles.

Yes, it literally means going to war.

The kind of battle where you start by shooting at the opponent with a Black Star.

However, Yang Jizong thought of the reminder Li Aiguo gave him when he left, and suppressed his anger.

While shifting focus to the Yang family's business, ensure the smooth flow of inland transportation channels.

On the other hand, the relationship between Uncle Yang and his several uncles was divided.

The Yang family received patriotic education since childhood. Those uncles were just blinded by interests. With Yang Jizong's persuasion, they were able to return to the right path.

"Persuade? Use guns, right?" Li Aiguo asked with a smile after listening.

"I used a combination of hard and soft tactics, so don't ask me. Anyway, I persuaded all the uncles to come back."

Yang Jizong laughed and continued, "My uncle saw that things were not going well and wanted to split the family.

He himself controls several trading companies and has many cronies at home.

I'm ready to continue the fight.

Guess what happened then? "

"Is Mr. Yang awake? Or is Mr. Yang not sick at all?" Li Aiguo asked.

Yang Jizong was stunned for a moment, then gave Li Aiguo a thumbs up: "Brother Aiguo, you really guessed it right. It turns out that this matter was just a trick played by the old man and the housekeeper from the beginning to the end."

"My uncle has already prepared the manpower. He even transferred personnel from 14K and Kowloon Walled City."

"At this time, the old man suddenly came out of the temple, and with him appeared five men with unfamiliar faces."

These unfamiliar faces are probably people sent from the mainland to do work? !

Li Aiguo nodded and signaled Yang Jizong to continue.

"The old man didn't introduce the identities of those men, he just asked me to send them to where my uncle was hiding."

"It was a sunny morning. Uncle was hiding in a building in Sham Shui Po. When he learned that the old man had woken up, he used all the borrowed men to protect himself."

“Those strange men walked in so brazenly. A moment later, fierce gunfire rang out from inside.”

Li Aiguo asked, "In broad daylight, rushing into a building in a downtown area, wouldn't it attract the attention of pedestrians on the street and cause chaos?"

Yang Jizong said: "We have bribed the Chief Chinese Inspector through Zhuyouzai, so those cops cleared the area in advance, saying that they wanted to catch the robbers who robbed the jewelry store.

Even if the passers-by knew what was going on, they didn't dare to get close, for fear of being caught and blamed."

My goodness, Hong Kong City is such a great place, Li Aiguo thought to himself.

“It took about an hour from the time the five men rushed in to the time they walked out.”

"The leader asked me to go in and clean up the scene, and then they got on the minibus that my grandfather had prepared long ago."

When Yang Jizong said this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes and his voice began to tremble.

"I entered the building. There was blood everywhere. There was blood on the ground and on the walls. There were more than 50 people in the building. They were all dead. Only my uncle was alive, but he was almost dead."

Yang Jizong was not only shocked by the tragic scene, but was even more stunned by the outcome of the battle.

You have to know that these people that Uncle Yang spent a lot of money to invite are all famous figures in Hong Kong, especially those from Kowloon Walled City, who are masters who have been on the ring.

Five people actually took down the whole thing.

There were no injuries on the five men.

This is what makes Yang Jizong feel terrified.

It was at that time that he realized that Uncle Yang was too naive.

The reason why the Yang family was able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong was entirely due to the support from the mainland.

Now the eldest uncle of the Yang family has gotten rich and is trying to destroy the relationship with the mainland. He is so stupid.

Yang Jizong lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs before calming down. He then continued:

"My uncle was sent to Argentina to herd cattle. The old man handed over the family business to me.

Now he plays chess with the housekeeper all day long, and lives a leisurely life."

After figuring out the whole thing, Li Aiguo had to admire Mr. Yang.

Wealth is dazzling. The Yang family’s apparent assets are estimated to be tens of millions, but their hidden assets are estimated to have already exceeded 100 million.

Such a huge fortune is enough to turn a father and son into enemies and cause a couple to break up.

After Mr. Yang decided to hand over the family business to Yang Jizong, he naturally had to cut off the thorns for his grandson.

Li Aiguo said: "This time it can be considered a blessing in disguise for you. After going through all this, you will be the head of the Yang family in the future."

"Indeed, after I took over from my grandfather, I went to the lake to follow him."

Yang Jizong stopped talking halfway.

Li Aiguo had already understood that after Yang Jizong paid homage to the dock, he was recognized and officially took over the Yang family's business.

Yang Jizong suddenly asked at this time: "If I hadn't been able to resist my uncle's attack, would my grandfather not have shown up?"

"Why ask me if you already know the answer?"

Li Aiguo sighed silently in his heart. In such a large family, so-called family affection does exist, but it often has to give way to the development of the family.

If Yang Jizong is really a hopeless case, Mr. Yang will definitely replace him with a new heir without hesitation.

Yang Jizong was not depressed. Instead, he nodded and said, "If I were really an incompetent person, I should have been replaced long ago. Not only would I lose my life, but I would also implicate many people."

"Don't worry, I'm watching!"

Li Aiguo patted Yang Jizong on the shoulder and comforted him, then said with a smile, "You're back just in time. I have a new gadget and I need you to apply for a patent in the name of Hextech."

"Is it an electric fly stunner?" Yang Jizong asked with his eyes wide open.

“No, no, no, the principle and structure of the electric fly repellent are very simple, and it is easy for others to circumvent the patent. We don’t make money from patents.

If we want to make a fortune from electric fly repellents, we should focus on large-scale production.

Take advantage of the fact that similar products have not yet appeared, seize the market and make a lot of money. "

Li Aiguo analyzed it, and Yang Jizong nodded frequently: "After I returned to Hong Kong City, I started to build a factory to produce electric fly devices in the name of Hextech Technology."

"What patent are you talking about?"

"Improved magnetic core memory." Li Aiguo said.

"Something to do with computers?"

Yang Jizong is an outstanding graduate of City University of Hong Kong. Many of his classmates are engaged in computer research in North America and are naturally aware of the role of magnetic core memory.

He became excited after getting Li Aiguo's confirmation.

"The name of our Hextech is Black Magic, and now we are finally going to apply for a patent for this high-tech technology!"

People in business also have a chain of contempt. People who sell computers naturally look down on people who sell sweet soup on the street.

"The patent application must be done as soon as possible. We can produce a prototype right away. The Institute of Computing Technology will definitely announce the results by then, which will easily attract other people's attention." Li Aiguo reminded.

Yang Jizong nodded: "Don't worry, I will return to Hong Kong City this afternoon and I promise I won't delay your business."

Li Aiguo has a relatively good understanding of Yang Jizon's abilities.

Now that Yang Jizong has become the head of the Yang family, he has even more power and applying for a patent is easy for him.

Afterwards, Li Aiguo took Yang Jizong to inspect the instant noodle factory.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Comrades from the foreign affairs department originally planned to invite Yang Jizong to a dinner at Donglaishun, but Yang Jizong insisted on having lunch at the Li family.

Chen Xueru was still busy counting rat tails in the street office.

Director Zhang walked into the office and shouted at Chen Xueru, "Secretary Chen, your work today ends here. Go back quickly. You have guests at home."

Counting rat tails is a dirty job.

Those smelly and dirty rat tails should be sorted out and placed in a special cardboard box.

The street office staff are unwilling to do it.

When Secretary Liu saw Chen Xueru was about to leave, he was unwilling to do so.

"My dear Director, I have guests at home too, and I want to go home too, what should I do?"

Director Zhang said with a straight face: "Were your guests also arranged by the Foreign Affairs Department?"

Upon hearing the arrangements made by the foreign affairs department, Secretary Liu immediately shrank his head and remained silent.

Secretary Liu, relying on his seniority, idles around in the street office all day long and likes to gossip behind people's backs.

The street office officials who were counting rat tails were happy to see her suffer a setback and began to grumble among themselves.

"Secretary Chen's husband is an advanced individual who has eliminated the four evils. Some people don't even know how to take a piss and look at themselves."

"Besides, Secretary Chen spent the whole morning counting five boxes of rat tails, while some people only count one box a day, and he still has the nerve to ask for leave."

Chen Xueru was no longer surprised by Li Aiguo's behavior.

After nodding to the director of the subdistrict office, he looked at the staff and said with a smile: "You have all worked hard today. I will take a break and bring you some delicious food when I come back."

Now even some of the complaints from the street office staff who were dissatisfied with Chen Xueru disappeared.

Seeing this, Director Zhang nodded in appreciation.

Chen Xueru is capable, good at uniting her comrades, and has driver Li as her backer.

Deputy Director Liu of the Street Office is about to retire this year, so perhaps Chen Xueru should take over.

Thinking of this, Director Zhang took the opportunity to send Chen Xueru off and asked with a smile: "Comrade Xueru, your recent progress is obvious. Do you have any ideas for further progress?"

Chen Xueru was stunned, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Director, I am a member of the organization and I will follow the organization's arrangements."

"I know Driver Li is very busy at work. When you go back, please have a good discussion with him." Director Zhang said a caring word and turned to go into the office.

A simple family dinner ended with laughter.

Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru personally sent Yang Jizong to the train to Shenzhen.

After watching the train leave, Li Aiguo rode his bicycle with Chen Xueru towards the courtyard.

Halfway through the journey, Chen Xueru brought up the issue of promotion.

"This is a good thing. After all, our Miss Chen is a good girl who is actively seeking progress." Li Aiguo agreed without hesitation. Chen Xueru was worried that Li Aiguo would object, but she felt very happy when she heard this.

She leaned her face against the broad back, feeling the breeze brushing against her cheeks, her heart filled with happiness.

The bicycle moves forward steadily on the road, and the sound of the chain turning seems to be a sweet accompaniment.

The sunlight shone on them, covering them with a layer of golden glow.

Chen Xueru closed her eyes gently and listened to Li Aiguo's heartbeat. The steady rhythm made her feel extremely at ease.

While riding, Li Aiguo suddenly stepped on the brakes.

The bicycle that was moving forward suddenly stopped, and then Li Aiguo felt something soft behind him, and a soft cry.

"Ah! What's wrong?"

“The road is full of potholes!”

Chen Xueru, who was about to let go, didn't dare to move. Smelling the fragrance of Chen Xueru's body and the softness of her back, Li Aiguo pedaled the bicycle with more passion.

As long as people have passion, it is easy to get dizzy.

The bicycle rushed uncontrollably towards a series of large and small potholes.

At this time, Chen Xueru felt safe, but her face turned red when she was stared at by an old lady passing by.

Just as she was about to let go, Li Aiguo stepped on the brakes again. This time he didn't just brake, he really rode into the pits, one after another.

“Ah! Ah! Ah~!”

Both Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru had red faces, but the former was holding it in, while the latter was embarrassed.

“It’s a real pitfall”

"Ah."

Chen Xueru hummed softly, but felt that the rough man did it on purpose.

However, she did not bring it up. Seeing that there was no one on the road, she simply leaned on Li Aiguo.

******
In the following few days, Chen Xueru was busy with promotion matters, submitting various materials and waiting for approval from her superiors.

Yang Jizong returned to Hong Kong and hired a famous lawyer in Hong Kong to apply for patents for the electric fly trap and improved magnetic core memory.

Li Aiguo also gained something.

After three days of hard work, the female workers in Class B of the Spinning Workshop of Beijing Cotton No. 72 Factory produced the first memory in computer history with a storage capacity of K.

The magnetic core memory array is like a large box, and after verification, the capacity is fully up to standard.

Li Aiguo returned to the Institute of Computing Technology and proposed to the director of the institute to reward the female workers of Beijing Cotton No. 1 Factory.

“I think a letter of commendation is unnecessary, so as not to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

But the necessary material rewards still need to be given, after all, without those female workers, we would not be able to manufacture memory in this area."

Professor Xia Zhongsu also supported Li Aiguo's opinion.

After careful consideration, the director decided to take out a portion of the meat coupons from the Institute of Computing Technology and distribute them to the female workers.

When the female workers received the meat coupons, they were all very happy.
Only Zhang Hongxia curled her lips and said with disdain: "Humph, too stingy, just five catties of meat tickets, are you giving it to a beggar?"

Female worker Wang Mei carefully put the meat coupons into her pocket, planning to buy some meat for her mother to satisfy her craving, and then save two kilograms of meat coupons for Zhang Qingshan from the Computing Institute.

Zhang Qingshan has been instructing the female workers in the workshop to "weave" storage devices recently.

Wang Mei felt that this nerd seemed to be quite nice, and their relationship did not end with the end of the project.

Hearing what Zhang Hongxia said, she frowned and said, "Sister Zhang, we have only been busy for a few days, and five catties of meat tickets are not a small amount."

"You are so stupid. Didn't you see the scene during those few days? What we made must be very important!" Zhang Hongxia said in a cold voice.

"Oh, Sister Zhang, you have forgotten the discipline. The Security Department has stipulated that no one is allowed to mention the last production task." The female worker Wang Mei was shocked.

"Look how scared you are! When I, Zhang Hongxia, was in the Eight Great Hutongs, I was the top star.

How many dignitaries wanted to spend the night with me, including warlords, and I had to pick and choose them.

I would be afraid of a small security department?"

Seeing Zhang Hongxia starting to talk about what happened in the past again, female worker Wang Mei's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

On weekdays, Zhang Hongxia liked to talk about the Eight Great Hutongs with the female workers in the workshop, and especially liked to teach those female workers how to serve men.

Seeing Zhang Hongxia talking dirty, Wang Mei made the excuse that she had to go out to work and hurried back to her workstation.

Zhang Hongxia looked at those hostages and her eyes narrowed slightly.

What was produced last time? If you can figure it out, you might be able to make a lot of money from it.

Zhang Hongxia has been lazy for most of her life and has long been accustomed to earning money by lying down. How could she work like an ordinary female worker?

After getting home from work, Zhang Hongxia was too lazy to even cook and just fell headfirst onto the bed.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure sneaked in.

A big hand reached into the quilt and rubbed it.

Zhang Hongxia smelled the familiar stench of dry tobacco and the stench of sweat and impatiently pushed the big hand away.

"Be quiet and don't make any moves. I haven't eaten yet."

"My dear, I brought you roast duck from Quanjude."

The man's face was covered with a cotton mask, which he did not take off even inside the house, so his features could not be seen clearly, but his voice sounded a bit old, and he seemed to be at least fifty years old.

"Hey, why are you so generous today? Aren't you afraid that your wife will find out?"

Zhang Hongxia let go of the other person's hand, suppressed her nausea, and let that big hand do whatever it wanted.

There was a sound of laughter in her ears.

"My dear, my old lady has already turned into an old tree bark. She is not as playful as a little beauty like you with delicate skin and tender flesh.

When you left Yanzhi Hutong, I searched for you for a long time. I didn't expect that you were assigned to the textile factory. We are really destined to meet."

"You are really my old enemy. Hmm."

light.

went out.

the other side.

It was pitch black outside, but the computer room of the Beijing Computing Institute was brightly lit.

The director of the Institute of Computing Technology, Professor Xia Zhongsu, researchers such as Zhang Qingshan, as well as Professor Lebedev and several other members of the Russian expert group, all stared at the figure who was busy behind the cabinet.

"Comrade Director, you just told me that the plastic box is your memory with a capacity of up to 72K. Can you explain the principle to me?"

Professor Lebedev looked particularly relaxed at this time.

That afternoon, Professor Lebedev received a notice from the Institute of Computing Technology that an improved model of magnetic core memory had been developed.

At first, Professor Lebedev was indeed shocked.

But when he heard that the memory capacity could reach 72K, he immediately relaxed.

What a joke! The capacity of the latest model of magnetic core memory produced by IBM is only 36K.

The flower-growing country is extremely poor, and its computer talents are trained by the Russians. How can it be possible to produce a capacity of 72K?
The director smiled and said, "Professor, the technology used in the memory was invented by Comrade Li Aiguo. It has nothing to do with our institute, so we are not in a position to disclose it."

"Oh, it has to be kept secret? Let's just wait and see!" Professor Lebedev pulled over a chair, sat on it and smoked a cigar comfortably.

In the past two days, Professor Lebedev has figured out Li Aiguo's background.

Although this person invented things like heating patches, waste heat greenhouses, and mouse-catching boards, the principles of these things are very simple, which only shows that this person is a little smart.

However, computers are truly high-tech.

How can a train worker like you figure this out?
The advantage is mine!

Modularity was not achieved back then, and installing new equipment required rewiring, especially the wiring on the memory was extremely complicated.

Li Aiguo was busy behind the cabinet for most of the day. He felt the greatness of Asan Ge's electrician and finally connected all the wires.

He straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's time to start!"

The director was getting a little impatient waiting and immediately gave the order to start the computer.

As the operator performed some operations, a roar was heard in the computer room and the computer began the inspection procedure.

"Report, the memory is running normally. The current storage capacity is..." Operator Chen Jing confirmed the light symbol displayed on the panel again and said loudly: "The storage capacity is 73728 bytes."

73728 bytes is 72K.

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene, and Professor Xia Zhongsu waved his fist vigorously.

Ouch! At this moment, a groan of pain came from the side, breaking the cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Professor Lebedev hurriedly patting the flames on his legs.

It turned out that when Professor Lebedev saw that the memory capacity was as high as 72K, his mouth opened wide and he didn't even notice that the cigar had fallen into his crotch.

In particular, Professor Lebedev wore a woolen Mao suit today, which is particularly easy to catch fire.

By the time he noticed the fire, it was too late and the fire on his pants was getting bigger and bigger.

"Hurry, come and help!" Professor Lebedev was so flustered that he was tripped by a chair and fell to the ground.

He didn't even bother to cry out in pain, he just wanted to put out the fire.

You must be kidding. If the fire continues, all the hair will be burnt off.

The director, Professor Xia Zhongsu, and those researchers were all confused at this moment.

The location of the fire was very special.

If they rushed to rescue him rashly, would they end up offending the experts?

At this time, a man stood up bravely.

He is Comrade Markov, the Computer Hammer King.

"Professor, here I come!"

Markov roared, flew over, and kicked Professor Lebedev's crotch with his big black leather shoes.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Lebedev uttered a cry of pain.

That cry was filled with endless pain and despair.

It seemed to burst out from the deepest part of the soul, with a hoarse sound mixed with a broken tremor, so sharp that it hurts the eardrums, and the heart suddenly shrinks with the tragic cry.

It was the first time that Li Aiguo knew that a person could make such a tragic scream.

but.

The result was very good.

That kick actually extinguished all the flames.

Markov pulled up the trembling Professor Lebedev and said, "Professor, you don't have to thank me."

Professor Lebedev: “.”
