Chapter 55: First Arrival in Xiangjiang
Chen Tianliao didn't spend too much energy to run the two singers on the Spring Festival Gala. He felt that he just had to go with the flow. After the CCTV and WHK documentaries came out, he became the brightest star in the Chinese pop music industry. If you want to emancipate your mind and let pop songs appear on the stage on CCTV Central TV, then Chen Tianliao can really say "who else is me". He spends his energy communicating with Kentaro Tokunaga's team. Because the two sides have cooperated many times, the communication is also quite smooth.
Deyong's reputation in the Xiangjiang music scene is also very loud. As the prince of love songs in the Wa Kingdom, coupled with his handsome appearance, especially the fresh meat face that does not lose his masculinity, he has a group of loyal female fans in Xiangjiang, and many singers in Xiangjiang have covered his works. So this time, Deyong went to Xiangjiang to perform, and many record companies in Xiangjiang have come to the door to operate their own singers as concert guests. Because there were two concerts, the Deyong team set up eight people, four people per performance, all of whom were singers with great influence in Xiangjiang. After Chen Tianliao joined, they inserted Chen Tianliao's program into the first performance.
The Deyong team and Chen Tianliao preliminarily determined that Chen Tianliao used the piano to accompany Deyong with two songs and sing one song together. For the chorus repertoire, the opinion of the Deyong team was that Chen Tianliao could help create a Cantonese lyrical song with simple lyrics. Chen Tianliao finally chose songs such as "Half Dream and Half Awake" sung by Alan Tam, "Sun and Stars" and "It's Too Hard to Turn Back" by Jacky Cheung. The Deyong team immediately chose the song "Sun and Stars", because Chen Tianliao's first album for Deyong happened to have the original version of the song.
After everything was done, Chen Tianliao set a date to go to Xiangjiang. Because at present, there are many various community organizations in Xiangjiang. The streets were chaotic, so Chen Tianliao's first thought was to hire bodyguards. At this time, the domestic security market has not yet started, so I can only ask for help from Zhuchuan. Takekawa quickly hired two bodyguards for him from the American Yellowstone Security Company, and rushed to Xiangjiang to give him a front station.
This time, it was Su Wenhai, Xu Wenjing and Chen Mei who followed Chen Tianliao to Xiangjiang. Xu Wenjing took a leave of absence from work a year ago, concentrated on studying with Gao Yuan in the record company, and received a high salary of more than 1,000 every month - a high salary in this era, and dividends at the end of the year. And she has more time to spend with her children, which is a lot of money. Chen Tianliao, who came to Xiangjiang this time, didn't expect her, after all, she had to take care of the child. But after Xu Wenjing heard about it, she took the initiative to ask for help. She felt that she should see the world while she was young, and it happened that her parents and in-laws were in the capital to help take care of the children, so she decided to follow Chen Tianliao to Xiangjiang. Chen Tianliao naturally responds to this teacher's needs.
After leaving the customs at Xiangjiang Airport, Chen Tianliao immediately took out the brick-like big brother and contacted the bodyguard invited by Zhuchuan. These two bodyguards are both American-Japanese, named Kenzo Uchie and Suma Sato. Uchie Xianzao is less than 1.7 meters tall, and he looks like a scholar with a polite and polite nature, but his skin is a little dark. Having said that, many locals on this side of Xiangjiang are also so dark-skinned, and he doesn't stand out more prominently. It's just his two muscular hands that he can see that he is not simple. Sato Suma is half a head taller than Uchie, and although he is wearing a suit, looking at his unruly expression, he knows that this is not a simple character.
The two bodyguards each drove a car. Chen Tianliao and Su Wenhai sat in Neijiang's car, and the two beauties sat in Sato's car. After getting into the car, Chen Tianliao took off the big brother on his waist and said: "This thing is also said to be a convenient mobile phone, this weight and size are heavier than bricks." ”
When he was in Beijing, he had already followed the mobile network of the Asian Games to get two big brother mobile phones, and now in order to facilitate his movement in Hong Kong, he spent nearly 50,000 yuan to buy three more mobile phones. While buying, he cursed the manufacturers who held mobile communication patents in this era for not having children, and took advantage of the opportunity of technology monopoly to make money. When he has time, he has to find Huawei ZTE in this time and space, spend a sum of money, break the monopoly of foreigners, and make the mobile communication industry back to the price of cabbage in his previous life.
Five big brothers, one was left in the capital for Fang Yan to use, one was handed over to Song Xianfeng for use, and three Chen Tianliao brought Xiangjiang, one for himself, Xu Wenjing and Chen Mei shared one, and Su Wenhai shared one. Chen Mei is very interested in Big Brother, but unfortunately, before the telecommunications provider in China was established, the mobile phone signal was only limited to some densely populated areas, and the signal was not very good. At the same time, the analog communication of this era not only has a very poor anti-interference ability, but also a very strong interference ability. When she first got the phone from Big Brother, Fang Yan reported to Chen Tianliao that his instant calls could be heard on the TV in the living room downstairs. Chen Tianliao secretly congratulated himself that he was still young. Otherwise, he used Big Brother to talk here, and the company employees over there used the TV to receive his love words, and the picture was so beautiful. Therefore, Chen Tianliao's definition of this thing is to hold an emergency. Usually, if you don't need it, you don't use it.
Su Wenhai also loved and hated this big brother, and said: "Bulky to bulky, the key is that the network of this thing is not good." You don't know, the last time I went to a department store to buy something, I saw a boss dressed like a dog pouting on the ground in the corner of the wall talking on the phone, he moved a little, and the signal was not good. ”
Chen Tianliao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Then we will make our own mobile phones!"
Su Wenhai was a little weak-hearted, and said: "Can we do such a high-tech thing? Let's be realistic to make a BP machine." ”
The so-called BP machine is a pager. Because of the huge inertia of this space-time, the technology tree of the point is the same as in the previous life, so there is also a pager, because the sound is similar to the sound of BP, so it is also called a BP machine. It's a machine that receives information. In the beginning, only short English words and numbers can be displayed. When you want to find the owner, you can call the pager and ask the staff at the pager to send a message to the owner. The owner saw it and responded accordingly. If you just want the owner to call back, you can use the automatic pager to dial the number of the pager with the phone, and the phone information will be displayed on the pager. This device was introduced to China in the early days of reform and opening up, but it was expensive and never promoted. It has only become popular in the past two years. This time and space have not yet developed a later Chinese character display system, and if it does, it will be a big gold mine in the next few years.
Chen Tianliao pondered for a while and said with a smile: "It's simple, we have to do BP machines, and we have to do mobile phones." Of course, when the time comes!"
At this time, the domestic manufacturing industry was still quite backward, and Chen Tianliao certainly would not ask for hardships. And so the discussion about mobile phones ended. Only then did he take a serious look at the scenery of the Xiangjiang River.
At this time, Heung Kong Airport was still Kai Tak Airport. Dating back to 1925, the airport was originally a reclaimed wasteland in the second half of the 20th century. Because it is surrounded by downtown neighborhoods and has only one runway in the entire airport, this airport has become one of the most difficult airports for aircraft to take off and land. However, the advantage is that it is separated from Xiangjiang Island by a narrow strait, and it is a downtown area as soon as you go out. In this era, Kowloon City, as an emerging urban area of Hong Kong, was full of newly built skyscrapers, which had the vigorous and upward atmosphere of mainland cities in later generations. It's just that because of the limitations of the land, their pavement is a little narrower. Chen Tianliao looked at the street scene, and he was guilty of homesickness - the illness of missing the future generations.
Of course, Chen Tianliao also wanted to see the famous Kowloon Walled City. This is the source of material for Xiangjiang police and gangster films, and it is also one of the areas with the most troubled children in Xiangjiang. The level of chaos is comparable to that of a no-go zone in Western countries. Chen Tianliao, who was deeply influenced by the Xiangjiang police and gangster movies and the Crazy Boy films, was eager to see this place with his own eyes. According to the history of the previous life, it will be demolished and converted into a park in a few years, and it will become a historical relic. But after thinking about the danger involved, he still suppressed his thoughts.
The car pulls into a hotel in Hung Hom, near Kowloon, near the stadium. After getting out of the car, Xu Wenjing said to Chen Tianliao: "Xiao Liao, you are right, take a walk to broaden your horizons." It's so different from the capital! It's so prosperous!"
Chen Tianliao smiled slightly and did not answer. In another 20 years, the capital will be even more prosperous.
Chen Mei also disagreed with Xu Wenjing's exclamation, and said: "This place is not as prosperous as the United States, and the American cities I went to are not as prosperous as the Japanese country." The world is too big, and there are so many good places. If our motherland wants to catch up, I'm afraid it will take several generations!"
Xu Wenjing felt the same way: "Yes." Don't say that the places you mentioned, even here in Xiangjiang, it is difficult to catch up! Look at the high-rise buildings, the cars on the road, and the clothes worn by the people here...... Alas. ”
Chen Tianliao smiled: "Why do you sigh so much." Let's do our job well, and one day the capital will be more prosperous than here. Mr. Xu, let's have a good rest in the hotel, there are still two days to play. Deyong and they came to Xiangjiang after tomorrow. ”
Xu Wenjing was overjoyed and said, "Okay, you should have a good shopping tomorrow." I've heard that the best place here is Xiangjiang Island, right?"
Chen Tianliao nodded as he walked: "Yes." Xiangjiang Island is a shopping paradise, as long as you need it, you can buy anything. Tomorrow, I will give you and Xiaomei a bank card of Xiangjiang and go shopping on the street. ”
Chen Mei was overjoyed and cheered: "Great, Xiao Liao." How much money is in the card?"
Chen Tianliao said: "Each card is 10,000 Xiangjiang coins." It is about equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary Xiangjiang person. ”
Xu Wenjing was taken aback: "No, this is too much, I can't ask for it." I have money myself!"
Chen Tianliao smiled: "Teacher Xu, don't shirk either." If you look at Mr. Takahara, although he is free, do you know how much I have to pay Mr. Maeda, who he hired? 30,000 Chinese dollars a month. That's still the money for tutoring others. As for you, you have worked hard to tutor me, a genius, for more than six years, and confiscated a penny of my tuition. Now I only honor you with such a bank card, which can't repay your kindness!"
Xu Wenjing blushed and said, "No, I can't accept it, if you give it to me, I'll turn my face!"
Chen Tianliao had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, turned his head to Chen Mei and said, "That Xiaomei, both cards are for you, you can help Teacher Xu buy something." You women know what you women like. Of course, you can also save money. After all, you are going to study in the United States in more than half a year, and you will need a lot of money. ”
Chen Mei snorted and said with a smile: "Okay, I know!"
Su Wenhai also interjected and joked: "What about Xiaoliao, where is my card?"
Chen Tianliao said: "Ah, I almost forgot. You'll be given a card tomorrow too. ”
Su Wenhai was stunned, and asked in surprise and joy, "Really?"
Chen Tianliao smiled: "Of course it's true." When you go back, I'll ask the finance to deduct the money from your salary one by one. Of course, you're my cousin, and I don't count your interest, so you're kind enough, right?"
"Get out!"
