Chapter 774 Things before the New Year
"Leader, please enjoy your meal. I will go and greet the others." As the host today, Liu Hai certainly cannot sit at the table to eat first. No matter how high your rank or how rich you are, if you have a banquet at home, you have to greet people in front and behind.

Of course, the same applies to those who go home to help. Even if you are a big boss outside, you still have to pick up your apron and help others when you come back.

Don't act like a boss in the village.

"Coming here is like coming to my own home. You go and greet the others." Sun Aiguo waved his hand.

"Everyone, eat first." Sure enough, Sun Aiguo began to take the initiative to greet others.

"Old factory director, I'd like to toast you." Hou Dong was about to pour the drink.

"Let's toast to us, the newlyweds first." Sun Aiguo waved his hand.

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

"We congratulate the newlyweds..." Liu Hai listened to Sun Aiguo's voice, then went out to greet other people.

When the people in the village saw Liu Hai coming out to greet people, they told him to go and greet the guests while they just ate by themselves.

Liu Hai laughed and lit a cigarette for each of them.

"Uncle San, eat and drink well."

"I know, don't bother us."

"That's right, there are too many dishes, and the table can't hold them all."

"Just eat and drink well, everyone."

Then Liu Hai returned to the house.

"Thank you, leader." Liu Hai picked up the cup and poured the drink.

"I won't be polite to you two." Sun Aiguo raised his glass.

In fact, it’s a pity for Sun Aiguo. Why didn’t Liu Chengcai inherit Liu Hai’s career? But it’s someone else’s choice and there’s no way to ask.

"My dear relatives, Lao Hou, you are a guest from afar, please have a drink." Then Liu Hai called Li Jianshe.

Li Jianshe and Hou Dong also raised their glasses.

I didn’t know what to talk about at the banquet. Everyone came from different places and different industries. Some were happy, while others had a lot on their mind.

After finishing his meal, Sun Aiguo said goodbye.

Li Jianshe's family and Hou Dong stayed for a while and then left. Because Li Jianshe brought some relatives and friends with him, the young couple lived in the countryside.

"Master, my in-laws?" Li Jianshe and his family were in Hou Dong's car. After driving for a while, Li Jianshe couldn't wait to ask.

"You are so lucky, you have a good daughter." Hou Dong was actually very envious.

"You will pretend to be ignorant of your in-laws' affairs in the future. Let me tell you this: when I arrived at our factory 20 years ago, he was the de facto chief engineer of our factory."

"Think about who are the editors of the technical standards implemented by our factory?" Hou Dong said.

Li Jianshe slapped his thigh when he thought of this, because a person's name appeared in many mechanical textbooks and standard process flow in China. At first, some people discussed whether this person was the same person, but many people thought not.

"Tsk tsk!" Li Jianshe couldn't say anything and could only use this to express his surprise.

Zhang Chunhua glanced at Li Jianshe, who said unhappily, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Zhang Chunhua was so angry that she pinched Li Jianshe hard.

Hou Dong actually didn’t know much, but when he left, the factory had already produced a lot of good things.

"Now I feel relieved. I thought my in-laws' money came from illegal sources."

"Haha, some things are better left to you. Look, the old factory director came here in person today to show his support. This is because Chengcai is a little bit out of place. Of course, these are historical issues."

"If it were someone else...humph!" Hou Dong saw it clearly.

"It's enough, it's enough." Li Jianshe didn't dare to think about who is more powerful than Sun Aiguo. With Sun Aiguo's level of influence, being able to eat at the same table with him, let alone eat together, even if they meet and say hello, that would be his honor.

Liu Hai was seeing people off one after another, including the guests and the canteen chef.

As for the remaining dishes, the captain will arrange it and each family will share it.

There was no talk of coming over for dinner in the evening or anything, because the daytime is short in the winter, and after we finished cleaning up, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

The next morning, the group set out early. Liu Chengcai, Wang Hongmei and Li Xuemei went back to their homes. Liu Hai first sent Xiaoyun home, then sent his junior sister to work, and then went to work himself.

Liu Chengcai and Li Xuemei did not take a few more days off, and they did not even consider traveling to get married because they had never thought that they would have such good conditions. However, they decided to travel during the summer vacation and go to Hong Kong Island.

After Liu Hai arrived at the factory, he acted as if nothing had happened and few people knew that Liu Hai's son was already married.

Today is January 1984, 1, and the Spring Festival is not far away.

FiberHome Technologies also signed a contract with Luotuo to help the company build a mobile communications network and train relevant technical personnel.

Of course, these technical talents will mainly be responsible for the management and operation of mobile communication network equipment.

The total amount of the contract this time exceeded 4.5 million US dollars. Camel is very wealthy and paid directly in US dollars, unlike the two people next door who bought flying motorcycles and used various deductions to pay off their debts.

The reason why no one is trying to grab the market share of flying scooters in some Eastern countries is because they are too courageous.

You can exchange any resource and even owe debts.

Although Bald Eagle's company coveted these businesses, they did not dare to bear the risks of being owed money by a country, and the money owed was not US dollars but oil. Besides, there were also Niu Niu's dealers involved in this matter. These shameless people would use any means.

As for Fat Bear, let alone him, he has more than enough oil in his own home, so why would he produce this thing to exchange for oil?
As for why the fat bear became increasingly weaker, it was because its light industry was ruined, and mainly because its population was too small.

Why the Eastern giant can become the global manufacturing base for light and heavy industries in 2020? Population is an inseparable factor.

It is not only a manufacturing base for light and heavy industries, but also the country that creates the most jobs in the service industry.

Liu Hai had friends who lived abroad in his previous life. The service industry abroad is really hard to describe. The first problem is the service attitude, and the second is the price.

When you go to a restaurant to eat, not only do they charge you an employee health tax, but they also charge you various fees and tips.

You may spend 100 on food, but the total cost for other things may be 130.

For example, if the water pipe or something in your home is broken, you need to make an appointment. If you make a good appointment, it will arrive in a week. If you make a bad appointment, it will take one or two months.

And the price is so high that it makes you scratch your feet, so many people boast that foreigners are good at doing things. If your water pipe bursts, it will take a week or a month to fix it after making a phone call. Do you choose to fix it yourself or wait? Liu Hai certainly knows that there may be another deal behind this deal.

Luotuo, the rich man, is relatively honest, much more honest than Da Mu next to him. This guy is not a good guy. He owes others money and doesn't want to pay it back, and he also wants to occupy other people's homes.

As for why the Eastern superpower is not afraid of him owing debts?

Because it is a big country!

Besides, there are still dealers who will pass it on, and we will deal with it when the dealers can’t handle it.

Anyway, the oil that Babylon and Persia had to pay back with their rockets will almost be paid back in seven or eight years, and now both sides are still continuing, mainly attacking each other's airports.

It just so happens that some countries in the East need this oil to ensure domestic industrial production.

The guy next door was extremely envious because the price of the oil was lower than the market price, but unfortunately he couldn't buy it.

What will be the consequences of industrial products produced from oil at prices below market price?
That is, international factories are constantly moving to certain countries in the East.

Some countries in the East are now focusing on infrastructure construction, building roads, railways, and water conservancy facilities.

Liu Hai continued to be busy with his liquid-fuel rocket engine, teaching building 001, and keeping an eye on the fighter jets.

Xiaoyun hurried back to Hong Kong Island because the mobile communications company there was about to open.

With regard to mobile communications in Hong Kong Island, the higher authorities are following the benchmark, and this is also an opportunity for demonstration.

Therefore, those sent there are the best soldiers and technical backbones.

As for where these elite technical backbones come from, of course some of them were sent to Kyoto from several major cities in China to learn technology.

Now the skills have been learned, but the people have not come back.

Originally, we planned to launch mobile communications business in these major cities this year, but now our superiors say that the plan has changed and it may not be possible until next year.

Because after this group of people finish the construction in Hong Kong Island, they will go to Luotuo to build.

Several big cities were furious when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do as export business is important now.

So these big cities recruited a group of relevant talents and sent them to Kyoto for training.

On January 1984, 1, mobile communications services were officially launched in Kowloon, Hong Kong Island.

The most expensive Panda phone in the country costs 1 RMB.

That translates to $2500 in U.S. dollars.

The current exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is fixed, which seems to be 7.75.

Including other miscellaneous fees, a mobile phone costs 2 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, it is much cheaper than Motorola's. Motorola's price is 3995 US dollars, and the various fees added up when exported to Hong Kong Island may reach 35000 Hong Kong dollars.

Hong Kong Island has been developing very prosperously in recent years, with many business owners running various businesses. On the day of opening, more than 1 phones were connected to the network.

At the telecommunications company stall selling Panda mobile phones, countless people lined up in long queues.

Some scalpers can make two to three thousand Hong Kong dollars by reselling the mobile phones.

Although Hong Kong Island is a small place, it has many wealthy people. In addition, in the past few years, many products from the mainland were exported from here.

Various auto parts, motorcycles, other engines, and even various toys, daily appliances, etc.

"Oh, it seems like I can't make any money." On January 1984, 1, Xiaoyun took her three children back to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, sighing.

Because the number of mobile phone users in Hong Kong Island was underestimated, the capacity of the communication base stations is limited. We are now urgently expanding the capacity of the communication base stations. Before the expansion is completed, mobile phones can no longer be sold.

3 mobile phones have been sold so far, with the cheapest one costing HK$2 and the one with polyphonic ringtones costing HK$25000.

This means that the sales amounted to at least 6 million yuan. The key is how much the monthly rental fee for 3 mobile phones would have to be, not to mention the voice fees or something like that.

It was the first time that Xiaoyun saw an industry that made money so quickly. She saw so many users eager to send money, but she couldn’t sell because there was not enough capacity. If she sold too much, the call quality would deteriorate.

This was also a common problem with early mobile phones. Many times when you made a call there was no response, which meant that the communication capacity was insufficient.

Liu Hai originally wanted to suggest that Xiaoyun start selling it as well. If the call didn't go through the first time, he could just try the second time. It's impossible to do this all the time. However, considering his reputation, he decided not to do it.

"How long will your vacation be?" Seeing Liu Hai looking at him with a smile, Xiao Yun rolled his eyes again, because Liu Hai had asked Xiao Yun to design the capacity based on 10 mobile phones.

However, Xiaoyun thinks that it is not that much. 10 mobile phones would be 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, but now it seems that it will not reach 10, and I am afraid it will not be much different.

Xiaoyun underestimated the human nature of comparison and face. We are all doing business. You have a mobile phone and I don’t. Do I have less face than you? Or am I not as good as you in business?
Therefore, the calling function of a mobile phone is now put last, while face and status are the most important.

"I may be late this year." Liu Hai took a late vacation this year, mainly because of the fighter jet issue.

The fighter's third engine is undergoing intensive testing and will be hoisted after the test is completed the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Liu Hai adopts a modular design. Theoretically, three or four people can replace the engine within a certain period of time. Of course, it will definitely not be such a short time for the first time, let's say one day.

I have to wait until the ground ignition test is completed before I can take a holiday, otherwise I will not feel at ease.

"Do you want to have a reunion dinner together this year?" Xiaoyun asked again.

"You and Junior Sister decide." Liu Hai never makes the decision for women on small matters, because if you make the decision, they might be dissatisfied with this or that.

"This is their new script, take a look at it. Also, these are several other scripts they wrote." Xiaoyun took out a few more scripts.

“......” Liu Hai had no choice. Who asked the person with the script to make him sleep?

Reading the script makes me angry, mainly because the screenwriters in Hong Kong at that time described some aspects in a rather bold way.

This script is a ghost story, telling the story of a female ghost's revenge. Let's not talk about how the female ghost takes revenge.

Then he met a martial monk, and this was actually a serious kung fu movie.

The monk originally wanted to save the female ghost, but after hearing what the female ghost said, he decided to seek revenge on her. The ghost's enemy was a small notebook businessman. That's right, nowadays a martial arts movie doesn't feel like a martial arts movie without small notebooks.

The same is true in gun battle movies. In fact, it is the same in the West. Many times, they would not have filmed a gun battle movie if it were not for Sandezi.

So this time when I went to Xiaoyun, I didn't change the script. As for changing the script, of course I'll talk about it next time, because the fire was put out and no one was in the mood to read the script.

Liu Hai arrived at the factory and went directly to the engine manufacturing workshop, where the final test would be carried out.
