Although Mr. Yi is old, he has a clear mind, and he remembers his past experiences very clearly, and he is also very organized.

After chatting for a while, Chen Qiaoshan also had a general understanding of the origin of the Xinhua copying industry.

After all, life is not a legend in the market, the Yi brothers in a specific historical period, self-taught, groping for the means of making a living, but finally achieved the reputation of Xinhua "the capital of culture and printing", speaking of which, there are too many accidental factors, and there are many inevitable reasons.

Chen Qiaoshan remembered one thing and asked, "Old man, you should know Zou Lianjing, right?"

"Know, who doesn't know him from Yangxi Town. ”

"'Eat to help Yuan Longping, get rich and help Zou Lianjing. This sentence is widely spread in Yangxi, and the craftsmen of Yangxi and Chaxi are basically brought out by him, and they have made a fortune before and after. ”

Yi Daixing said lightly, but he did not involve the relationship with Zou Lianjing at all.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little curious, it was rumored that Zou Lianjing was the apprentice of the Yi brothers, but looking at the old man's appearance, he didn't look like a familiar person, he couldn't help asking: "I heard that Zou Lianjing is your old apprentice, is there such a thing?"

The old man shook his head, "Don't listen to the rumors outside, Xiao Zou is not my apprentice." Although he vetoed it, he didn't talk about anything else, there was obviously a hidden meaning in it.

Chen Qiaoshan is a little strange, according to Zhang Ergui, Mr. Yi was a doorman at the county's typewriter repair factory in the 80s, and Zou Lianjing was the director of the maintenance factory at that time.

According to the time calculation, Mr. Yi had just finished squatting in prison for more than ten years at that time, and his body was still a little disabled, if the two had nothing to do with each other, how could he be arranged to go to the maintenance shop to see the door.

Yi Daixing seemed to see Chen Qiaoshan's doubts and explained: "At that time, it was still a big collective, and a letter of introduction was needed when going out to do errands, especially with the public. ”

"To tell the truth, repairing a typewriter makes a lot of money, and people suffer a lot of sin. ”

"My brother and I didn't have a serious unit, we often repaired the machine with the front foot, and the back foot went to the public security bureau, at that time, there were very few masters who could repair typewriters, and sometimes the public had no choice, and they had to find a way to get us out to continue repairing the machine. ”

Chen Qiaoshan listened to the narration, which was very similar to asking about going to prison, but it was better to think about it, after all, it was not a good thing, and it was somewhat taboo.

Old Man Yi seemed to see his thoughts, and continued: "Later, my brother and I thought of a way, don't you want to introduce the letter, we will engrave the seal, what's so difficult to get a fake one." ”

"I remember very clearly, at that time, I engraved a 'Wuchang Red Star Cultural Factory' chapter with soap, and I didn't know what office equipment was at that time, but I only knew that it was related to culture, and the letter of introduction was written to support the field, and we were sent to a certain place to repair typewriters, mimeograph machines, etc. ”

"At that time, the management was strict, although we wore the regimental emblem on our chests and held a letter of introduction in our hands, but experienced people could see through the truth at a glance, once in Liangshan, I was caught, my brother ran away first, and the certificates on my body were all forged, and I was locked up as a spy of the United States and Jiang until 79. ”

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, it turned out that this was the reason why the old man had been imprisoned for more than ten years.

"Zou Lianjing's master is Yuan Xichu, and Xiao Yuan is my eldest brother's apprentice, and I only learned about these later. ”

"In the spring of '79, I returned to Xinhua, my legs and feet were not good, and I didn't have the heart to run out, Xiao Zou heard about my situation, so he arranged me in the Yangxi typewriter repair factory. ”

"Is there another typewriter repair shop in Yangxi?" asked Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly.

Old Man Yi smiled: "There is nothing else, there is only this factory in the county, but it was later renamed the county typewriter repair factory." ”

"In fact, there is no business, that is, to give the Yangxi people who repair the machine a affiliated unit, with a unified printing of letters of introduction, invoices and price lists, that is, since then, typewriter repair has become a way for Yangxi people to make a fortune. ”

Chen Qiaoshan finally straightened out the question of the origin of Xinhua's printing industry, and the key node still fell on Zou Lianjing, after thinking about it, he asked again: "Old man, your eldest brother also accepted a lot of apprentices back then, right?"

"There is no one else, just Yuan Xichu, who is said to be an apprentice, and he is eight years younger than me, but unfortunately, he is also unlucky like my eldest brother, and he has seen a good life, but he had a car accident in the south and died in a foreign land. Yi Daixing shook his head again and again, and his mood became a little depressed.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't know what to say, the person in front of him was the first generation of Xinhua Wenyin, and his life experience was difficult to imagine in today's era.

"Old man, can I take a picture of you?"

"Take pictures?" Old Man Yi was stunned for a long time before he said, "I haven't taken a photo for many years." After that, he asked, "Where to shoot, photo studio?"

"No, I have a camera. Chen Qiaoshan said, taking out a Sony F717 from his bag, which he bought when he accompanied Yan Xiaoqin shopping a few days ago.

The 5.24 million pixels were completely exploded by the thousand-yuan machine of later generations, but the price code is really not cheap, 6,000 yuan smaller.

This is the current popular god machine, and this model of camera, there is a special infrared filter, you need to spend extra money to buy, it is said that you can shoot some inexplicable things after the matching.

Chen Qiaoshan naturally didn't have that kind of hobby, but he just mentioned it to Yan Xiaoqin as a joke, but the consequences were disastrous, and the bruises on his waist didn't go down for several days.

Old Man Yi looked at him fiddling with the cannon barrel there, and couldn't help asking, "Are we filming here?"

"Old man, just sit and I'll take care of the rest. Chen Qiaoshan carried the camera, thought about it, took a few photos in a row, and finally, walked out of the door, took a panoramic view, and even took a picture of the charging sign at the door.

After being busy for a while, Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Old man, do you still have contact with Zou Lianjing?"

Yi Daixing shook his head, "I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and since my brother left, I have gradually cut off contact." ”

After that, he sighed again: "Now is a good era, this line of work is not easy, and it is difficult to go home all year round." ”

Chen Qiaoshan was a little silent, life was obviously unfair to the old man in front of him, but this is the most real life.

After chatting for a while, Chen Qiaoshan was about to leave, but Old Man Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Housheng, can you leave me a copy of the photo you just took?"

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned, then nodded hurriedly and agreed, the old man's current situation is very ordinary, guarding this boundary, he hasn't seen a few people for a long time, and the income can be imagined, "No problem, I'll wash two and send them to you when I go back." ”

Saying goodbye and leaving, Chen Qiaoshan felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but also a little lucky, the purpose of coming to Xinhua was completed by one-third, and the rest was to find a current insider to understand the situation, preferably Zou Lianjing, and also to get the data of local printing practitioners in Yangxi.

The difficulty inside is bigger than the other, Chen Qiaoshan also has a headache, just thinking about it, but he saw a red E46 parked not far in front of him, some special headlights, which are still very easy to distinguish.

Chen Qiaoshan is a little curious, this car is not cheap, it is not uncommon in Yanjing, in the territory of Xinhua, it is a little at first glance, but it is not strange to think about it, there are many big bosses in Xinhua, and there are not a few who are engaged in the upstream industry of literature and printing outside, and there are not a few who are worth tens of millions.

was thinking about it, but saw an acquaintance getting out of the car, it was Zeng Ziqi who sent him to the police station, and there was no one else here, obviously coming for himself.

Sure enough, Zeng Ziqi walked straight over, and when she got closer, she asked, "Hey, are you really a student of Peking University?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little unhappy, there was something wrong with them one by one, Zeng Ziqi was like this, Li Xiao-Lin was also like this, he said angrily: "Yo, isn't this the section chief Zeng of the Cultural Industry Office?"

After speaking, he glanced back at the alley not far away, and said jokingly: "You came here to go to the toilet all the way?"

Zeng Ziqi's face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to tear the person in front of him alive, and the guilt in his heart disappeared completely, which was so hateful.

Chen Qiaoshan shook his head, this is a BMW and Cartier, a proper rich girl Undoubtedly, he decided not to worry about Zeng Ziqi, who knows if there is a certain snake standing behind her, or a fanatical suitor, walking alone outside, or be careful.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't pay any attention to it and walked straight past her.

Zeng Ziqi hated the roots of his teeth, but he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Chen Qiaoshan, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Chen Qiaoshan just didn't hear it.

"Aren't you looking for Zou Lianjing, I know how to contact him. ”

Chen Qiaoshan can't look back now, there is no way, it is easy to find someone, but it is difficult to get in touch, especially if this person is still a big boss.

"You can really get in touch with him, don't lie to me, right?"

Zeng Ziqi rolled her eyes, her father was one of the ten apprentices brought out by Old Man Zou himself, it was not easy to contact him, after thinking about it, she rolled her eyes and said: "I can't still lie to you, Minister Yuan still remembers, her father is Old Man Zou's master, now believe it, right?"

Chen Qiaoshan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Her father is Yuan Xichu?"

Zeng Ziqi looked dazed, Yuan Hong's father has been dead for more than ten years, how did Chen Qiaoshan know about such a secret thing?
