Typhoons come and go quickly, and after a few rains, the weather begins to clear for a long time, and the temperature outside has eased a lot because of the arrival of the typhoon, and it is no longer so muggy.

On the fourth day of receiving a call from Ming Pao, around 9 a.m.

Xu Zhi sat in a taxi to the headquarters of Ming Pao in Chai Wan, and the car passed through a cluster of high-rise buildings, passed through the Hung Hom Harbour Tunnel, and soon passed by the edge of Central to the Ming Pao Building.

It's been a few months since I last came to Mingpao, and I passed through the security guards below and came to the floor of Mingpao.

Although I am good-looking, it shouldn't make the young lady at the front desk think about it day and night for a few months.

Xu Zhi came directly to the front desk: "I crossed your Director Shen, my surname is Xu." ”

The girl at the front desk looked at Xu Zhi and felt that it seemed a little familiar, but the professional quality was still very high, so she immediately flipped through the documents, made another call, and hung up the phone after a while and said: "Hello Xu Sheng, Director Shen is currently in a meeting, I don't know if I can wait for a while." ”

"Okay. Xu Zhi nodded, in fact, he came a little early, although there had just been a typhoon outside, but as long as the sun came out on this day, it wouldn't be cool, so he came out a little early.

After the front desk lady ticked the paper, she immediately walked out and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, please come with me." ”

Following the front desk, I passed through several office areas of Ming Pao, and the last time I came, I just came directly to the reception room at the door. And this time it can be regarded as entering the core area of Ming Pao. The space of the newspaper is much larger than that of Golden Harvest Daily, and the density of personnel and work in it is also much higher. Everyone was busy, and even if they were moving, they were all trotting and slow.

Soon, the front desk took Xu Zhi to a sofa seat next to the director's office, and said to Xu Zhi: "I'm sorry, I can't enter the office when the director is not there, Xu Sheng can wait here for a while, I don't know if Xu Sheng is drinking coffee or tea?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Thank you, just tea." ”

"Okay!" the front desk immediately prepared to go.

Xu Zhi looked around, walked to a bookshelf, and flipped through it casually, all of which were all kinds of newspapers neatly classified according to date, including Ming Pao, Ming Pao Evening News, Ming Pao Weekly, etc., at a glance, they were all this year.

"We Ming Pao will put all the newspapers here every year for everyone's reference, and after each year passes, all the materials will be archived and collected, so that future generations can inquire about the social affairs of the year, what does Xu Sheng think?"

The voice behind him startled Xu Zhi, turned his head, and a half-hundred person stood behind him, and asked, "Are you Director Shen?"

The person who came smiled and said, "Yes, Xu Sheng is really young!"

Xu Zhi asked, "Isn't Director Shen in a meeting? ”

Shen Baoxin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a routine guild every day, I'm about to doze off, Xu Sheng, as soon as you come, of course I have to take the opportunity to come out!"

Xu Zhi asked: "Have these newspapers been stored since '59?"

Shen Baoxin shook his head: "No, it's almost since 62, our Ming Pao didn't develop smoothly at the beginning, and it was almost not until 62 years when it got on the right track that all the newspapers began to be stored, in fact, it was not a bright newspaper, and others such as Oriental Daily, Ta Kung Pao, etc. were also saved." ”

Xu Zhi nodded, he actually wanted to read all the information once, although he knew a lot of time nodes now. But knowing doesn't mean that you can use it, these are two different concepts.

The brain is a magical thing, and later scientists have found that if the storage capacity of the brain is expressed in bytes, it is 10 trillion trillion bytes, that is, 10 billion terabytes, or 10,000 books for a library of 1,000 books.

Except for when I was a child, my nerves were not fully developed. Theoretically, from the beginning of memory, the human eye is like a high-definition camera, slowly storing all the content in the computer, which will go through decades.

Many people may wonder, since the brain memory is so powerful, why can't I memorize it?

It's actually quite simple, the root cause is that you don't want to memorize. You can only force yourself to memorize, but you are not interested in it at all.

And a lot of times we don't think we can remember a lot of things, but it's not that the brain doesn't have a store, it's that you don't think of the link. To put it simply: how do you find a folder on a computer if you don't know the name?

It's the same with memory, it has to have a name, a scene, a link that activates the dormant link in the brain.

Xu Zhi also remembered a lot of things, but he was very unfamiliar with the whole Xiangjiang before, and there was no Internet in this era, so he could only check a large number of newspapers.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhi still asked, "I wonder if Director Xu can lend me these newspapers to read?"

Shen Baoxin was stunned for a moment and said, "All?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, let's start from 70 years! ”

It doesn't make much sense to read the newspaper earlier. The last few years are enough.

Shen Baoxin thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, if Xu Sheng specifies which day's newspaper he needs, I can arrange for someone to find it." But there have been too many newspapers for a few years, and we have long since sealed them, and there is nothing big about them, so we will not move them casually. ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "I'm sorry, it's okay, I just want to see it." ”

Shen Baoxin said: "It's not impossible to really want to see it, but I have to ask first, what aspect Xu Sheng wants to see." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Economically!"

Shen Baoxin smiled and said, "There is a way, I can arrange a photocopier, and then let people pick out all the newspapers about the economy in Ming Pao, and then copy them into a book and send them to Xu Sheng, but the cost must be borne by Xu Sheng." ”

Xu Zhidao: "It's very troublesome and a waste of time." ”

Shen Baoxin smiled: "Xu Sheng doesn't seem to understand one thing, time is more important to us than money, if I agree to lend you all the newspapers, how long will it take you to find the information you need?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "For a long time, I originally planned to take a look at it when I was free. ”

Shen Baoxin said: "If Xu Sheng has a certain achievement in the future, he will understand this truth, instead of wasting his own time, it is better to spend money to solve it, efficiency is the most important, and free time is more precious, rest is the rarest." ”

Almost all the wealthy of later generations have equipped themselves with private jets, not for luxury, really just to save time, because many meetings, investments are a race against time, wasting hours waiting for planes at the airport, and the loss can be millions of dollars or more.

"How much will it cost if the arranger prepares these materials?"

Shen Baoxin replied: "I don't know, I have to ask a special person." ”

Xu Zhi asked: "Ming Pao has this kind of business?"

Shen Baoxin said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, many writers write economic stories, celebrity biographies, and regional economies have to check a lot of information, which actually exists in newspapers that are issued every day. ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "I see, I understand." ”

Shen Baoxin nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, I will talk to the people below later, you can contact you separately for details, please go to my office to talk." ”

"Good!"
