At the end of January 1992, Taiwan's Legislative Yuan passed the "Cable Television Act" in the third reading, opening up cable television.

In mid-February, a production company called "Lianyi" was registered and established in the Taiwan Department of Commerce, and the upcoming TVBS self-produced programs are produced under this name.

All of this is more than a year ahead of the "history" in Lin Youlun's memory, and the changes brought about by the flapping of his little butterfly's wings are more than that.

The mainland, which is across the sea from Taiwan, has also recently had a major event, and the old chief, who had retreated behind the scenes, made a low-key southern tour, attracting the attention of the whole world, and the day he arrived in Pengcheng was more than a month later than Lin Youlun's memory.

Lin Youlun saw the picture of the old man arriving at the Pengcheng Railway Station through the TV news broadcast, the old man wearing an aluminum-gray peaked cap, a dark gray tweed coat, and a white scarf, walked out of the door, and shook hands with the local government officials who had been waiting at the station for a long time, and did not forget to wave to the welcoming crowd on both sides.

The special correspondent of Ming Pao recorded the scene with a photo, and the photo appeared in the most conspicuous position on the front page of Ming Pao the next day.

On the first day of arriving in Pengcheng, the old chief took a car around the city with great interest, and the car came to the Huanggang port, and the old man stood at the head of the Shenzhen River Bridge, looking at Hong Kong on the other side for a long time.

"After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, I will be in a wheelchair, and I will go to the other side to have a look."

This was just what the old man said to his entourage, so it did not appear in the official news report, but the old man's wish was remembered by many people.

The old man may not know what to do. His every move, word and deed in Pengcheng. It also affects the hearts of countless people in Hong Kong on the other side. On this day, almost all the media and newspapers in Hong Kong discussed this matter.

Earlier, the Hong Kong media had speculated that the old man might meet with Hong Kong business representatives in Pengcheng, but in the end this arrangement did not appear on the old man's itinerary, and the outside world widely believed that the main purpose of the old man's "southern tour" was to solve some problems facing the country, and the Hong Kong issue was not the focus of his trip.

Mr. Lam was previously considered one of the most likely business representatives in Hong Kong to be interviewed. Because in 1986, when the Hong Kong industrial and commercial group visited the mainland for the first time, Lin Youlun was received by the old man alone, and the mainland's relaxation of restrictions on the introduction of Hong Kong films and the cross-strait co-production of films are said to be the results of this meeting.

In the past 91 years, Lin Youlun's series of actions in donating money for the flood in East China, especially the establishment of the Zhi Fund, also proved his good cooperative relationship with the mainland government.

Under normal circumstances, the old man went to Pengcheng to inspect, and Lin Youlun should have appeared in the crowd of people who greeted the old man at the station even if he was an individual, but the media reporters did not see Lin Youlun at the scene.

Quite a few people find it strange. Of course, some people have guessed the reason for this.

TVBS has just been approved to start broadcasting in Taiwan, as the company's largest shareholder. If Lin Youlun gets too close to the mainland at this time, it will inevitably arouse some concerns of the Taiwan authorities.

On the night when the old man handed it to Pengcheng, Lin Youlun appeared at a hotel in Central and had dinner with friends, confirming the previous speculation from the outside world.

The next morning, the old man came to Pengcheng International Trade Building in accordance with the established itinerary and accompanied by the provincial and municipal leaders.

As the tallest building in China, the International Trade Building has created a "Shenzhen speed" of "one floor in three days" during the construction period, and the elderly take the elevator to the revolving restaurant on the top floor, sit by the window, and overlook the whole picture of Pengcheng City. 8 years ago, he boarded the Guoshang Building, in front of the International Trade Building has become a "little brother", the once low house narrow alley is also submerged in the high-rise buildings, the distance is lined with high-rise buildings, the road is vertical and horizontal, all are new buildings, the development speed of Pengcheng makes the old man very pleased.

Leaving the International Trade Building, the old man and his entourage took a car to visit Pengcheng Xianke Laser Company.

D&A Laser Co., Ltd. has introduced the advanced production technology of Philips of the Netherlands, and is currently the only company in mainland China that produces laser records, video discs and optical disc players.

When the car arrived at Xianke Laser Company, Ye Minghua, chairman of Xianke Company, and others were already waiting in front of the office building.

Ye Minghua is a red descendant, his father is the famous General Ye Ting, the old man has some impression of him, and asked very cordially when shaking hands: "You are Ye Lao'er, right?" ”

"No, I'm the fourth." Ye Minghua excitedly shook the old man's hand and stretched out four fingers in reply.

"I remember you, I haven't seen each other for almost 40 years in a blink of an eye." The old man said with emotion, and then asked about Ye Minghua's younger brother.

Ye Minghua answered one by one, and led the old man into the company's VIP hall, where the old man listened to Ye Minghua's introduction to the company, and watched the performance of the characteristics, sound effects, functions and retrieval capabilities of the laser disc with great interest.

The information film used to show the laser disc is the documentary "A Bite of China" that was popular all over the world some time ago, and caused a huge response in the Chinese world, the old man has seen this film before, and he is still full of interest when he watches it again, and he also said to the secretary of Guangdong Province who is sitting next to him: "This film is very well shot, every time I watch it, it can make people feel appetizing, not to mention that overseas Chinese will be reminded of nostalgia when they see this film, and even I feel a little homesick after watching it." ”

The old man's second daughter interjected at this time: "This documentary is shot with the most advanced shooting technology in the world, and the effect is much worse when converted into ordinary format, and there is a special screening room in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Museum, where watching this film is the best effect experience." ”

"Don't worry, the Capital Science and Technology Museum will soon build such a screening hall, and you don't need to go to Hong Kong to watch it then!" The old man said with a smile.

"That screening hall was also donated by Lin Youlun, right? Now some domestic newspapers say that his position is not firm, judging from the fact that he made this documentary and the donation for the flood in East China last year, I think he still has his heart set on the mainland. The secretary of Guangdong Province answered.

The old man nodded, "If we want to maintain prosperity and stability after Hong Kong's return, if there are more people like him, we can sleep with confidence!" ”

After seeing the product effect display, the old man came to the laser disc production workshop again, during which he passed through a 30-meter-long aisle, and many employees warmly applauded on both sides of the aisle to welcome his arrival.

While greeting everyone, the old man asked Ye Minghua about the ages of these employees, and learned that they were all between 25 and 30 years old, and they were scientific and technological personnel recruited from all over the country, and the old man nodded with satisfaction.

"It's good, high-tech projects should be done by young people, and hopefully they will be on them."

When I came to the laser disc production workshop, the old man carefully inquired about the company's situation while watching, from the treatment of employees to the source of raw materials to the production quality. When Ye Huaming introduced that they would produce a part of the Hong Kong film laser disc every year, the old man asked with concern how to solve the problem of copyright.

"It's better to let the person concerned explain this question to you." Ye Minghua stepped aside, and a person came out of the crowd behind him, this person was wearing Xianke's overalls, and the old man was not recognized at first sight.

The security personnel have quietly separated the unrelated people on both sides, making sure that this sudden meeting will not be seen by unrelated people.

The old man smiled and pointed at Lin Youlun and Ye Minghua, "Okay, you guys are joining forces to give me a surprise attack!" ”

Lin Youlun hurriedly stood up and explained: "When Xianke was established, I also joined a part of the shares, and you came to inspect it, chief, and I, as half of the master, of course came. ”

The old man looked at Lin Youlun disapprehantly, "Then why didn't you come out just now?" ”

Lin Youlun had an idea and joked: "I have been secretly contributing to the peaceful reunification of Taiwan for the motherland recently. ”

The old man smiled when he heard this, pointed at Lin Youlun and said angrily to the accompanying staff and Ye Minghua: "You see, this is the bad side of capitalism, the capitalists who grew up in that kind of environment, all of them are like him, and they are all like him, and they are duplicitous, although our socialism also takes the road of market economy, we socialist entrepreneurs cannot become like him!" ”

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, since you're here, tell us how Xianke does it in terms of copyright."

"Purchases from copyright owners in accordance with the provisions of international copyright conventions."

The old man nodded, "It should be like this, you have to comply with international regulations on intellectual property rights, and it is not enough to spend this money, right?" For you, it is the left hand to pay and the right hand to collect the money, which is a big burden for our domestic enterprises. ”

"I think this problem should be divided into two looks, not only to see the burden of enterprises to buy copyright, but also to see the role of copyright protection in the development of related enterprises, for a simple example, people want to buy Xianke products for what to do, the purpose must be because they want to listen to songs or watch movies, it is precisely because of the resources of songs and movies, we will have a demand for related products, this is a process of mutual promotion and common development, and the market economy is to use interests to drive development, if piracy is rampant, If the rights and interests of the genuine version are not protected, it will be difficult for good movies and songs to be created, and the development of the entire country's cultural industry will fall into a vicious circle, and at the end it will be defeated by foreign culture in one fell swoop. ”

In Lin Youlun's narration, the old man's expression slowly became serious.

Lin Youlun then said: "Now the strength of the country and the country, everyone only sees the political, economic, military aspects, and the cultural aspects are often ignored, China has 5,000 years of historical and cultural heritage, if the most stubborn is defeated by foreign culture, then in the eyes of future generations, our generation is a sinner!"
