Chapter 379: Like Entering No Man's Land
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. "Good evening. ”
"Today is Monday, February 28, 1983, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Welcome to the "News Series". ”
"The main content of today's program is ......"
“…… The first industry technical standard formulation meeting of the International Electrotechnical Commission and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Branch was successfully concluded in Hujiang......"
"Let's take a closer look at the detailed report......"
In the living room of Director Hu's house, the warmth was warm, and everyone who had eaten dumplings and drank drinks was scattered on the sofa and chair in twos and twos, watching the news broadcast on the TV.
Although Director Hu's daughter and Mina met for the first time, they seemed to have a good chat, and couldn't help but ask Mina about the Foreign Affairs Academy and going abroad.
After all, even if her mother works in the International Policy Research Office, the child will not have the opportunity to go abroad, especially in the Middle East, and even Director Hu has never been there, so her daughter is even more curious.
Mina was absent-mindedly coping, but her mind was all on the news series on the TV.
I heard the announcer Mr. Zhao mention the news about his brother in the preview stage of the program's synopsis.
Although she didn't mention the name, it was enough to make her happy.
In the 80s, it was relatively easy to get on the news series for slightly more important foreign-related news.
For example, in 87 years in history, this kind of thing can be broadcast on the news:
"Located on Qianmen Street in Beijing, the Kentucky Hometown Chicken - Beijing Fast Food Restaurant officially opened today~ Kentucky Hometown Chicken Jingcheng Fast Food Restaurant is the first Western-style fast food restaurant jointly opened by China and the United States, and it is also the largest Kentucky Hometown Chicken among more than 7,400 stores in the world. U.S. Ambassador to China Winston Rhodes attended today's opening ceremony and delivered an important speech......"
However, it is also on the news series, and the treatment is also three, six, nine, and so on. The Kentucky hometown chicken news for the example above may seem like a flowery retelling, but it is actually only 30 seconds long, and it will only follow the announcer's "please watch a set of newsletters below".
is not qualified to be directly in the opening synopsis, and it will be outlined and then expanded.
The international academic conference involved in Gu Biao is more important, and it belongs to the big news that 7~8 articles should be started with the outline of the news broadcast on the day.
Therefore, compared with Gu Biao three years ago, when he helped CITIC Trust complete its first yen bond financing, the exposure has increased.
It has been upgraded from "the newsletter on the news series" to "the seven main news stories on the news series".
People in the real circle know that every step up is very difficult. For some people who have been on the newsletter, it may take half a lifetime of hard work to get on the main news again.
And many more stop in their lifetimes.
Director Hu's daughter Xiao Fang sat next to Mina, and she was keenly aware of the irrepressible joy in Mina's expression.
In the next few minutes, the news about the others began on the TV, and Mina took it back with the same cheerfulness, but changed to a bit of anticipation.
Until the news of the international conference of the IEC Society, it was broadcast.
On TV, there was a 15-second footage of Gu Biao's closing speech.
What's more critical is that there was no narration from the announcer in these 15 seconds, but the original voice of Gu Biao's speech was used.
Mina felt a tremor from the depths of her soul, and shivered, and she actually felt warm and warm all over.
Recently, she can call Gu Biao, but she hasn't seen anyone for a long time. For the sake of secrecy, the unit will not let her leave the capital in the first half of the year.
It wasn't until Xiao Fang pulled her hand that she calmed down.
"Sister Mina, that Hong Kong businessman Mr. Gu is so handsome, I remember that he seems to have also gone out of the Foreign Affairs Academy, are you ......?"
"Yes, no, he's my senior, I'm very familiar with each other, and we go on missions together, so I'm a little concerned. Mina realized what she had just revealed and forced herself to calm herself so as not to be a goof.
Xiao Fang is one year younger than her, but she has just entered college this year, and she is still a freshman at a local junior college in Beijing, which shows that her grades are not very good. But as a female college student, she is still very sensitive to the confused thoughts of her peers in this regard. (Actually, college students in '83 are still quite valuable, but here it is only relative.) )
"So that's the case, Sister Mina, don't you have a lot of beautiful girls in your Foreign Affairs Academy?, are there more girls than boys?" Xiao Fang couldn't help but ask curiously.
Mina explained, "Beautiful...... It's okay, more is not much. The ratio of men to women is 3:2, which is strictly limited when recruiting students. ”
When Xiao Fang heard this, he was actually slightly surprised, and then mysteriously lowered his voice, and asked in his ear: "There are still many boys?" Then you are so beautiful, how can you still be single." ”
"What are you talking about!" Mina was a little stunned.
"I'm telling you the truth, since I was a child, I haven't seen a sister who is more beautiful than you, are you interested in that 'Senior Gu'? None of the boys in our school, including the person I'm talking to, can catch up. At a young age, he can be on the news series, or he still speaks in the original voice, and after watching TV for so many years, he has never seen a precedent. ”
Mina was already a little speechless, this guy actually didn't even think the person he was talking to was out of interest, wouldn't it be too snobbish......
However, with my brother's ability, I want young girls not to be snobbish, unless they are hard-hearted.
She had a vague pleasure of being jealous of the other girls.
After sitting at Director Hu's house for a while, Mina politely said goodbye.
Because the dormitories in the ministry are relatively close to each other, Mina doesn't have much time to walk home - the house she lives in now was just divided in August last year.
As for the houses that Han Ting and Gu Biao were assigned to now, they are all idle there, and the units have not been recovered. The level has arrived, what's wrong with the extra house, even if you don't live for a long time, you should keep it. The broken tube building outside the East Second Ring Road is not worth a few dollars.
Back at home, Mina couldn't wait to pick up the phone and secretly called Gu Biao, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
"Brother, are you tired today, watching the news on the air, you seem to have attended many occasions. ”
"Don't be tired, take care of yourself. I can't leave for the New Year, it's hard for you. Gu Biao's voice on the phone was also very gentle, but it did not go beyond it.
He also didn't know if Mina's phone call would be recorded, so the two sides only said words that showed the friendship that should exist between seniors.
Mina: "I miss you a little, when is the next time you're going to go back to China?"
Gu Biao: "Maybe it's January next year, I'll be very busy during the summer vacation." ”
The two talked in a cryptic voice, and after a few minutes of talking on the phone, they hung up reluctantly.
……
When he put down the phone, Gu Biao's heart still felt a little indebted.
This time I returned home, but Mina didn't take care of it, although it was an objective reason.
In the future, you must make up for the elementary school girl.
"Whose phone is it?Mina?" Xiao Sui had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, only to hear an epilogue, and asked casually.
Gu Biao: "Well, I won't say much about it, and she didn't tell me." I've been suffering for her lately. ”
Xiao Sui was slightly embarrassed: "Then you are in a bad mood today, why don't I go home?" Actually, I started school the day before yesterday. ”
After Gu Biao's academic conference, the Lantern Festival was already over, and the winter vacation in the university had long since ended. Xiao Sui is just an internship in the second semester of his senior year, and he is a literary and artistic worker, so his schedule is more casual.
"It's all about it, like I'm going to be a hypocrite. I owe her, and I owe you, don't say it. ”
Gu Biao said, and turned out the light in the room.
……
The next day, with the end of the technical session. Mr. Carl Vinson, CTO of Motorola, represented a group of busiest representatives of the participating enterprises, also left Hujiang one after another and returned to China.
However, Chris Galvin and others are relatively not too busy and rarely come to China, but they are clearly arranged by the organizing committee to eat and drink, and there is a short-distance travel itinerary of about a week - although Chris Galvin is the young owner of Motorola, but after all, he is only less than 30 years old, and the company's daily affairs will not be taken care of at all, he is only responsible for external friendship and insight, and he is naturally not as busy as the CTO.
The follow-up itinerary is paid by the organizing committee to entertain guests, and you can flash at any time if you want to flash in advance.
This is also to reflect the hospitality of the Chinese people, as well as the country's vast land and rich history, which has always been hospitality. In the 80s, even if the Chinese held meetings themselves, how could there really be only meetings and no pure fun schedules.
Gu Biao himself must be accompanied by the whole process and greet foreign friends.
According to the arrangement of the relevant government departments, he first took the group to the nearest Gusu for two days.
The Humble Administrator's Garden of the Hanshan Temple in Tiger Hill was closed for one day each to entertain the participants. I also live in the most high-end foreign-related guest house.
In the next five days, I went to Qiantang.
On the one hand, Qiantang does have enough foreign-related entertainment resources available, and on the other hand, it is also Gu Biao who wants to make a signboard for his investment and slowly blow out the international popularity first.
Finally, Gu Biao also wants to join forces with Han Ting, taking advantage of this relaxed atmosphere of semi-fun, and people from Sony to finalize the development of a new generation of CRT high-definition TV signal technical standards.
Akio Morita himself did not come for some reason, and the highest representative of Sony to attend this meeting was Norio Oga. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the intention and determination to cooperate.
Although Gu Biao does not know much about the development prospects of the so-called "HD/high refresh rate TV" in the CRT era, he does not seem to have heard of how profitable and widely this technology has won the market.
Therefore, it is estimated that these technologies are for TV manufacturers, that is, a piece of chicken ribs that can make a little money, but it doesn't taste much.
But in any case, upgrading the technology from this perspective will definitely be good for winning word-of-mouth gimmicks.
On the other hand, it is a major positive for home game console manufacturers.
Because even if Sharp didn't make much money in history, but when Sharp's new generation of TV is used as a game console output display, the output effect of Nintendo's FC game console has been greatly improved, and it has really solved many experience shortcomings in the Atari era, so that children don't have to "blink and make up frames".
Therefore, even if Han Ting can't make a lot of money and can only make a name, Gu Biao will push this matter hard.
