Chapter Twenty-Seven: Here Comes the Opportunity
"Mr. Fan, today's newspaper." An apprentice in the garment factory, grinning and holding a stack of newspapers, delivered it to Fan Wuxi's office.
The time is already October 1982, Fan Wuxian is now seven years old, but his body is like a crop with chemical fertilizer, surging wildly, the fifteen-year-old brother Fan Kang's height is not low, but compared with Fan Wuxi, the advantage is not very big, at this time Fan Wuxian is almost 1.6 meters, it looks like some adults, plus his mind is unusually mature, and he has been in a "high position" in the past few years, so he naturally has a kind of Wang Ba who is not angry and prestige, and it seems that he really has a little bit of leadership.
Today's Fan Wuxian has a total of three offices, one is the pig farm, the other is the garment factory, and the other is naturally his home, but he usually shrinks at home and can't come out, only after school or on weekends, he will come to the garment factory or pig farm to go around, to see if there is anything that needs to be pointed out, after all, his career foundation is here, how can he not care more.
As for the family, it is natural that only the three Wang brothers will occasionally come to visit, Master Feng and Master Cheng on the garment factory are old, and they take care of their own identity, of course, they will not come to the door, at most, when there is something, send an apprentice to call Fan Wuxi, and let him go directly to the garment factory to deal with it.
In the past, Fan Wuxian was at home to read the newspapers that Fan Heng brought back, such as the People's Daily, the People's Liberation Army Daily, Guangming News and other big newspapers, the news was relatively simple, since his own entity became bigger and bigger, he was not limited to looking at these news mouthpieces and public opinion, but went directly to the post office to pick dozens of the most influential newspapers at that time, and ordered two copies!
Not only that, Fan Wuxi also opened a reading room in the garment factory, which was used to store newspapers and was open to employees, of course, after all the newspapers were delivered, one of them entered the reading room, and the other was sent directly to Fan Wuxi, through the browsing and analysis of these print news, it is still very possible to grasp the pulse of the times.
Fan Wuxian does not only rely on the important events he learned before he was reborn to eat and drink, but strives to consider at a deep level in various social phenomena, if he is not reborn, how should he deal with various situations?
Reading makes people smart, and over time, often between the lines of a certain news or an editorial, Fan Wuxian can always capture some sensitive information, although it is so inconspicuous, but he knows how much impact this information will have on the lives of the people.
For example, the news published in a local newspaper today lifted his spirits.
The newspaper said that the residents of Changchun are keen to plant the Junzi Orchid, and there has gradually been a Junzi Orchid fever, and the article also expresses the author's feelings of praising the beautiful life of the new society through the expression of orchids in ancient poems, and there are some detailed figures to confirm the hot market of the Junzi Orchid in Changchun, and said that the Changchun Municipal Axe intends to set the Junzi Orchid as the city flower.
"This thing is finally going to happen-" Fan Wuxian's expression was a little uneasy.
Flipping through it again, I found more interesting questions in some tabloids.
It is said that a merchant raised a gentleman's orchid was favored by a foreign businessman and bought it at a price of 10,000 US dollars; It is said that a Hong Kong businessman wanted to exchange a "world-recognized ultra-luxury high-end crown car" for a pot of Junzi orchid named "Fengguan", but the owner, Kwok Fengyi, the manager of a flower company, refused on the spot. It is said that an old man raised a few precious varieties of Junzi orchid, and he was not allowed to be seen, but one night he was stolen, and he was so angry that he immediately lost his breath; It is said that a man drove a long distance from Shenyang to Changchun to steal flowers, and after succeeding, he returned overnight, and finally died in a car that overturned in a hasty escape.
Stories like this are being renovated, manufactured, and fermented every day, each with a name, a nose and an eye.
The local media in Changchun are also adding fuel to the fire, publishing articles one after another saying that Junzi Orchid is good, elegant in character, a gentleman in flowers, and can freshen the air at home, nourish people's appearance, and be good for health.
Originally, a few yuan a pot of flowers soared day by day, hundreds of yuan, thousands of yuan, tens of thousands of yuan, and at that time, the salary of ordinary workers was only about thirty or forty yuan, if you raise a pot of Junzi orchid, sell it for hundreds or thousands of yuan, it is undoubtedly a great fortune.
After reading the newspaper, Fan Wuxi gently rubbed the corners of his forehead, a little worried.
Over the years, the improvement of material life seems to have surpassed people's humble expectations. More and more household appliances are appearing in urban shopping malls, washing machines that began to be made in China three years ago have reached the output of two million units by the end of the year, the total number of televisions has reached 10 million, and the demand for refrigerators has also shown a blowout growth, a few years ago, the three major items of the newlywed family were "bicycles, sewing machines, and watches", and now they have become the "new three major items", televisions, washing machines and refrigerators.
Even if Fan Wuzhi is not reborn, he can also expect that the demand for household appliances will directly detonate the Chinese household appliance fever that will last for more than ten years, because the technical requirements of these products are not high, so that those enterprises that wake up first, including the weak and small in the state-owned companies and private enterprises, they will find the gap in development, and some of the home appliance companies that will be in the limelight will appear in the next two years, and make an appearance.
However, whether it is Panasonic TV, Toshiba refrigerator or Coca-Cola, these things have triggered everyone's rush to buy frenzy, which is understandable to Fan Wuxi, but it is incomprehensible, this year it occupies everyone's attention, like a crazy demon, it is this kind of ornamental plant with a tall shape and elegant smell.
Changchun people have always had the custom of planting Junzi Orchid, but no one has ever regarded it as very valuable. However, under the secret promotion of one or some ignorant interest groups, this very ordinary flower was actually sold at the price of gold.
"Alas! Just like the stock market in 2007, after madness, it will inevitably perish, and it depends on who is willing to stay there and take over! After sighing sadly, Fan Wuxian quickly put away the newspaper and went directly to the pig farm.
