Chapter Eighty-Three: Heading North
"Do you want to make a LAN device?" In a simple conversation, Yu Youcheng found that Li Yixuan seemed to have the idea of making LAN communication equipment.
Li Yixuan nodded and admitted: "That's right, the underlying LAN patent expires this year, and I want to get involved in this field." This is conducive to increasing the market share of Oranges computers. It is important to know that the LAN solutions launched by several companies are all for mainframe, medium, and small computers. LAN solutions for personal computers have not yet emerged.
And now that more and more people are using personal computers in enterprises, and no one has noticed this, this is our opportunity. And my LAN is different from theirs, mine is a virtual LAN technology solution. ”
Yu Youcheng......
"What's that?"
Li Yixuan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes." But even if the technology is going to be available, it won't have to wait until our 16-bit computers hit the market. ”
After Li Yixuan finished speaking, he left, and when he returned to the office, he found Guo Yifei coming, looking unspeakable.
"If you have something, just say it, don't hide it."
"I want to go back to Hangzhou."
Li Yixuan paused for a moment, and said after a while: "It's time for you to go home and take a look after you have been out for so long, is there anyone else at home?" ”
"My grandmother, since my father died, my mother and I are gone, and my sister and my grandmother are left in the house, and I don't know what happened to them. Now that the mainland has opened up, many Hong Kong people have returned to the mainland to visit relatives, and I want to go back and see it. Guo Yifei's words were a little sad.
Li Yixuan understood her mood and said, "Understand, just go back alone, what about Auntie?" ”
"Go back with me, and go to my mother's hometown to see my grandma and grandpa."
"Otherwise, I'll go with you." Seeing Guo Yifei looking at him with a wink, "Now that the mainland has opened up, many Hong Kong companies have invested in the mainland, and I also want to see what the investment environment in the mainland is." You know I've always wanted to build a picture tube factory, but the price of land in Hong Kong is so expensive that just a small piece of land can be sold for the White House. I would also like to go and see BJ and see the capital of my country. ”
The capital, Li Yixuan has been to another time and space a few times, but he wants to see the capital of this time and space.
Three days later, Guo Yifei sent a family visit pass to the mainland, and Li Yixuan had already explained her work, so she followed Guo Yifei and her mother to Kai Tak, Hong Kong to catch a flight from Hong Kong to BJ.
Airport.
Nine and Dragon Airlines' MD-80 aircraft slowly landed on the airport's tarmac.
After Li Yixuan and Guo Yifei got off the plane, they found that the capital airport in this time and space was far from being as busy as in later generations, and the entire airport was very empty, and only a few small planes were seen in the distance.
The airport building was not as modern as later generations, and the Soviet-style construction appeared solemn and atmospheric.
As the flow of people came to the waiting hall, I saw a person holding a sign that said Guo Yifei, who should be the person in charge of picking up the plane from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is also true that Hong Kong has not yet returned to the motherland, and Hong Kong people who return to the mainland to visit relatives are basically entertained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Li Yixuan glanced at Guo Yifei, her eyes were full of appreciation, which showed that she did not reveal her identity.
Now, Li Yixuan's worth, although he is not a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, is also a wealthy family that can be ranked first, if mainland officials hear that he is coming to the mainland, and even have plans to invest in the mainland, they have to put up a big battle to welcome the team.
At that time, Li Yixuan will have a headache, and he will be sent every day, but he can't see anything and can't do anything.
Guo Yifei walked forward quickly and shook hands with the other party.
"You are Comrade Zhang Shaohua, I am Guo Yifei. I'm really bothering you this time. ”
"Don't bother, serve the people!" Zhang Shaohua said solemnly.
Li Yixuan, who was on the side, was dumbfounded, () Why did this person speak like this, and he didn't react for a long time. You don't have to shout slogans every time you say a word?
Guo Yifei's mother whispered to Li Yixuan next to her, "They have just experienced WG, and they are talking like this, just get used to it." ”
Guo Yifei introduced Li Yixuan and his mother to Zhang Hua.
After shaking hands with the two of them, he said: "Several comrades from Hong Kong, I am responsible for arranging your itinerary on the mainland, and if you have any questions, you can come directly to me, and I will definitely serve you well." The car is outside, let's get in the car first, the hotel has been arranged, just in the International Friendship Hotel, please come with me. ”
After speaking, he took the bag in Li Yixuan's hand and walked outside first.
The three followed and walked out of the airport, where a Toyota Crown was parked in front of the door.
Zhang Shaohua opened the trunk and put the luggage in. Li Yixuan sat in the front co-pilot, and Guo Yifei's mother and daughter sat in the back. Zhang Shaohua twisted the key, and the car left the airport.
Li Yixuan looked at the streets and buildings on both sides of the kilometer, unlike later generations, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the pedestrians were dressed plainly, and their clothes were all monochrome, far less fashionable and bright than those worn by later generations.
At this time, BJ did not have the scene of endless traffic on the road like in later generations, and pedestrians were either walking or riding bicycles.
And it's the oldest-fashioned kind of two-eight bike, which is the same for both men and women, the only difference is that the bikes that women ride are one size smaller than men's.
Most of the buildings on both sides are built in the fifties and sixties, and from time to time you can see BJ's unique courtyard yards.
A unique atmosphere of the 80s is blowing in my face.
A black bridge car passed in the opposite direction, it was the unique Hongqi bridge car of the Republic, the red flag car drove very fast, and Li Yixuan did not see the license plate number on it.
This is the legendary first generation of red flags, Li Yixuan has the idea of going to sit.
"That car just now is the legendary red flag, right?"
"That's right, that's the red flag of our country." Zhang Shaohua explained to Li Yixuan while concentrating on driving, his mouth full of pride.
Li Yixuan looked at Toyota's interior, this should be a top-of-the-line model, but I don't know if it's four-wheel drive.
"Is this a four-wheel drive?"
Zhang Shaohua was puzzled: "Four-wheel drive? That's supposed to be a military vehicle, what do bridge cars do with four-wheel drive, just two wheels. ”
Li Yixuan found himself asking a stupid question, at this time, not to mention the Republic, the world's high-end axle cars are two-wheel drive, Audi's quattro full-time four-wheel drive system has just been exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show as a car, until 1987 Audi's quattro finally won the annual ice and snow rally championship on the Swiss circuit in Northern Europe, four-wheel drive axle car will become famous all over the world.
Since then, all high-end bridge cars, if they do not have a four-wheel drive system, are embarrassed to tell others that they produce luxury cars.
The four-wheel drive system is divided into time-sharing four-wheel drive, full-time four-wheel drive and timely four-wheel drive. Full-time four-wheel drive and timely four-wheel drive are things that came later, and at this time there was only this thing.
Generally, it is assembled on professional off-road vehicles and all-terrain military vehicles, and bridge vehicles are not equipped with time-sharing four-wheel drive. Because the time-sharing four-wheel drive has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, it cannot be driven on paved roads, and it will overturn.
"Comrade Zhang has joined the army?" Li Yixuan heard him talk about the military vehicle and felt that he had joined the army, so he asked.
"I worked as a car transport soldier for 10 years. The Sichuan-Tibet line that has been running for ten years. Zhang Shaohua replied.
Amazing, at this time, the highway into Tibet is not as good as that of later generations, there are highways everywhere, and anyone can travel by car. At this time, the highway into Tibet, no matter which line it is, is a death highway, and it is also the top ten and top five death highways in the world, and it has been ranked for many years. Further up is the Death Highway in the Andes Mountains of South America.
After the car arrived at the Friendship Hotel, Zhang Shaohua and the hotel attendant moved the luggage of Li Yixuan and the others into the room.
"Everything is here, you have a tired journey, take a rest first, I will take you to the Summer Palace in the afternoon, and tomorrow morning I will take you to see Tiananmen Square and raise the national flag." With that, he turned to leave.
"Wait." Li Yixuan called Zhang Shaohua and the waiter.
"Anything else?"
He took out two $10 bills and stuffed them into the hands of the two of them, "You two have worked hard, this is your reward." ”
The two looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, there are rules in the organization that you can't take tips from guests." ”
The server said, "If you need anything, just tell us." ”
The two put down the money and left.
Don't pay for door-to-door delivery, you must know that many foreign-related hotel waiters will ask guests for tips.
"This is a state-level foreign-related hotel, the management is very strict, dare to ask for the guest's tip, not only fired, but also recorded. No unit will want it in the future. Guo Yifei's mother explained.
