January 1, 1984, New Year's Day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ＠，

It seems that most of China's traditional festivals are related to reunion. Although the history of New Year's Day is short, it also means reunion.

Yu Tiecheng, who had been busy running for a month, rushed back from afar on a green train. As his wife, Li Zizhen fried a few side dishes and filled the table.

The family of three was happily eating a reunion dinner.

"How's it going in the factory lately?" Yu Tiecheng asked for the rest of his life. Because of the rest of his life, Yu Tiecheng has already cultivated him according to the successor of Huaxia Factory.

The position of factory director, to put it bluntly, is a management post, how to build and maintain a system, so that the whole factory can work efficiently, is the most important job of the factory director.

As for the product itself, there is also innovation, these things should actually be worried about by the people below. The director of the factory cannot say that he does not pay attention to this aspect, but basically it is to decide the general direction at an important time.

"It's in good condition, the production line is running normally. Although "Catching the Ball" cannot be mass-produced, the R&D team has overcome the time record and the alarm clock, and now the game watch can be said to be a real game watch. ”

Yu Tiecheng nodded, this group of technicians from all over the world is indeed easy to use, but this is not what he wants to hear, he asked again, "What about these?" ”

"In addition to these...... I guess it's nothing. Yu Sheng replied a little confused.

These days, he is mainly in the R&D department, first, his own efficiency in them will be relatively high, and secondly, the knowledge level of these people is okay.

"You......" Yu Tiecheng looked disappointed, and when he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Li Zizhen interjected, interrupting him and said.

"Don't talk about this or that today, hurry up and eat. You've been out for so many days, I'm still tired if you're not tired. ”

"Got it, eat, eat." Yu Tiecheng smiled and took a chopstick dish.

Yu Sheng picked up the bowl and ate half a bowl of rice, and when he wanted to continue eating, he heard a knock on the door.

Listening to the sound and rhythm, it seems to be Nick, but it is a little hurried, maybe something happened again.

"I'll open the door." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the door and opened the door, and a somewhat frightened face was placed in front of Yu Sheng outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng asked.

Nick, who has always been polite, was rude today, and walked directly into the door, muttering, "It's over, it's all over." ”

"What's over?"

"The video game is over, and my company is about to go bankrupt." Nick explained as he heard Yu Sheng's questioning.

Yu Sheng's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What?" What's going on? ”

"What's wrong? What are you two talking about, your faces are so ugly. Yu Tiecheng looked at Yu Sheng, whose face suddenly changed, and asked.

The rest of his life translated what Nick just said into Chinese.

Yu Tiecheng touched his chin and said, "Don't worry, you let him slowly explain what is going on." ”

Yu Sheng repeated the words, and Nick began to tell everything he heard on the phone, and Yu Sheng translated what he said into Chinese.

"In this way, Japan's largest video game company made a very bad game that collapsed the entire American video game market. Nick's company, which was originally engaged in toy trading, invested in video games when they saw that the market was good. With the collapse of the whole market, their company is also insolvent and is going to collapse, right? This is capitalism......"

Yu Tiecheng finished summing up, and finally sighed.

"That's pretty much it. Dad, if Nick's company is shut down, Nick doesn't care if he goes back or not, but no one wants the goods we produce. What should I do? These days, the warehouse is already halfway open, and it will be full in about a week if production continues, so do you want the workers to stop producing first? ”

Yu Sheng asked.

"No, production still has to be produced. We are now a private company, and the most important thing is to give people confidence. If production is stopped rashly, rumors will be triggered, and then the gossip will be flying all over the sky, and the people's hearts will be scattered, and the factory will not have to be opened. ”

Yu Tiecheng said.

"So what to do?" Yu Sheng asked, lost in thought.

Li Zizhen looked at the two of them and was thinking about things without speaking, coughed, attracted the attention of the two and said, "I have an idea, you said that the things in our factory can be sold to Japan?" Didn't Lao Liu's family go back to Japan, can you let them sell it? I've heard that Americans like what Japanese like, and that our stuff sells so well in the U.S., so it can be sold in Japan. ”

"Sell to Japan? It sounds a little interesting, but it really works? Yu Tiecheng heard Li Zizhen's proposal and fell into thought.

"Okay, of course it works, why not?" Li Zizhen didn't know where to take out a bunch of materials, removed the dishes and chopsticks, and put them on the table, "That time Lao Liu asked us to help him bring things to Japan, so I kept a snack eye and asked Lao Liu and his brother to help find some expired magazines in Japan." Even though I don't know Japanese, I was able to analyze some useful information by looking at the pictures and kanji above. ”

"Look, dad." Li Zizhen followed the guidance attached to the footer label, turned the page she had been optimistic about, she pointed to the advertisement on this page and said, "This thing, does it look a little similar to our factory's 'game watch', you look at the picture, there are Arabic numerals 50,000, and the one behind it seems to be a Taiwan." In Japan, machines of the same type as ours can reach 50,000 units of sales, so why can't our products? ”

Yu Tiecheng said, "The idea is right, but can the Japanese buy our machines?" I've only heard that we Chinese buy Japanese goods, saying that Japanese goods are easy to use, but I have never heard of Japanese people buying Chinese goods upside down. We can sell it in the United States because of Nick, the boss of the land. Let's go to Japan to sell, even if Lao Liu's orphaned brothers are there, they haven't stood up yet, how can they help us. ”

Li Zizhen glanced at Nick, and then said, "The country of Japan, or the Japanese, in my opinion, is still not open-minded enough, the pattern is too shallow, the self is sensitive, and the competition for survival is cruel, so it has become a kind of pathological virtue: cruelty and cruelty."

Such an essence makes them good at learning advanced, but they will become white-eyed wolves that they can't raise. As long as the country they worshipped declines, they will turn back.

During the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, the Japanese would use ships to transport the most beautiful women who knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to China. Find excellent people in China, such as those who have been educated in Jinshi, and improve their races. In modern times, I don't hear about the defeat of Japan, and the American army stationed troops on their territory. Japanese women also took the initiative to join the arms of the American garrison in order to improve the human race.

I think that based on the blind admiration of Americans in Japan today, as long as Mr. Nick agrees to go to Japan and assist in sales, he will definitely be able to do it. ”

Li Zizhen's words were relatively naked, and he didn't become vague at all because he was here for the rest of his life.

Yu Sheng listened to her words and looked at Nick, not to mention, Nick, who is in his twenties, has gone through the experience of being in China and in Huaxia Factory for half a year, getting rid of the childish milk fragrance that has just come out of the campus, and has some mature taste. Moreover, the facial features also look a little good.

He looks like this, in a foreign country, saying that he is a star, and some people believe it.

Yu Sheng has never denied that this world is a world of faces, if this world does not look at faces, then the shell design of game watches does not need to be torn down so many times, looking for a balance between manufacturing and beauty.

"I'll ask Nick first." Yu Sheng said to his mother, then turned to Nick and said to him, "Nick, if your company fails, can you not go back to the United States and help Huaxia Factory go to Japan to sell "Catch the Ball". ”

"Japan?" Nick asked, and he thought for a moment, "If you need me to go, I'm fine." ”

As he spoke, he sighed in his heart that when he first came to Asia a few months ago, he thought he was going to Japan, the most prosperous country in Asia, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, he would really have the opportunity to go to Japan.

Life, it's amazing.

Li Zizhen and Yu Tiecheng discuss the details of the Japanese market. ※％，

As two people who were born and grew up under the red flag, have seen bloody battles, and have seen large-scale group battles. The method of discussion adopted is basically the same as that of pre-battlefield analysis.

I've seen similar simulations many times before in my life, and I'm not surprised. Although Nick was more curious, the two of them spoke too fast, and with his Chinese proficiency, he felt a headache when he heard it.

It's not too cold outside the house, and it even seems a little warm. Anyone who has studied geography knows that this is the calm before the storm and the warmth before the strong cooling.

Behind this gentle hand is the furious face of bad weather. It is impossible to want only one without the other, the two of them are like the yin and yang fish in the Taiji diagram, and they exist together.

Chinese in the eighties still had a strong interest in festivals. Not to mention that Yu Tie became a New Year's Day, and he made ten pigs and distributed them to each employee.

Although the wages of the Huaxia factory are not low, most of the products are still supplied according to the ticket. Although there are cases of private transactions, but the price is high and the quantity is small, if it is not very urgent, just to satisfy the appetite, generally no one will exchange money for meat tickets.

Children who still have the smell of meat on their bodies pick up pebbles to play and play under the dim street lamps of the warm winter evening.

The little stupid dog, with a bone in his mouth, ran stupidly after the child. As soon as the child stopped, the little earth dog also stopped, tilting his head and looking up at the child, and the little tail behind the buttocks wagged happily.

Nick and Yu Sheng leaned on the boulder next to the factory gate, Nick saw this scene and said with emotion, "When I was a child, I also had a dog at home, and my father named him Dahei." He is a brown-black Labrador Retriever. When I was very young, I used to ride him around. My childhood can be said to have been spent in his company. Playing with him and holding a frisbee, he once deliberately threw the frisbee out for me to pick it up.

I think Daikoku is like a human and very smart. However, when I was a freshman in high school, one day I came back from school and my dad suddenly told me that Daikoku had died.

You know, I couldn't believe it at the time, I didn't believe it at all.

Although Da Hei's eyebrows are white, his beard is white, and he doesn't like to move so much, but he is just old, and he is still far from death, why did he die all of a sudden.

My dad took me to see Dahei's body and said that he died peacefully. Looking in the direction of my school, I watched quietly, and finally closed my eyes.

I looked at his face, and saw that he was indeed lying there peacefully, and that he was indeed dead.

I've been depressed for almost a whole year, and maybe you don't understand the feeling. I haven't had a dog since Daikoku died.

In fact, I have always had a bad impression of you Chinese. Because, I've heard that you eat dog meat. Dogs are good friends of humans, how can they eat them.

However, having been here for so long, I know that Chinese of you are actually good people......"

Yu Sheng listened silently, nodding from time to time, and when Nick finished speaking, he raised his head and said, "I understand what you said." Once, when I was in Yunnan, I had a good friend. He is a person, I still remember his name, called Zhang Liang. On the morning of February '80, it was just dawn, but I didn't see Zhang Liang. He died, at the hands of you Americans.

So, I understand the feeling of a good friend passing away suddenly. And, before I met you, I didn't like you Americans either. I haven't forgotten all of this to this day......"

"Sorry...... War-strife is too cruel. At the time of that war, in fact, our country was able and opposed to this war. Nick apologized.

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all over, when our country resisted the United States-aid-North Korea, when your country was in South Korea with a joint ****, more people died." You didn't live and die with the British before, but now it's all over. Everyone is making money and striving for a better tomorrow. ”

"Yes, the war is terrible, everything is over." Nick repeated, "It would be nice if there was no end to life, and the companion who was with him would not die." If there is, I seem to want one. ”

"Wait......" Yu Sheng said suddenly holding out his hand in front of Nick's mouth.

Nick looked at Yu Sheng, and after about ten seconds, Yu Sheng returned to normal, and he whispered to Nick, "If I find a partner who will never die and never leave, do you think it will be easy to sell?" ”

"How could there be? Still selling! You don't joke for the rest of your life. Nick thought that the rest of his life was to change the subject and relieve the awkward atmosphere just now.

"Let's watch jokes!" Yu Sheng said solemnly.

"Really?"

"Really, you follow my gaze." Yu Sheng said.

Nick followed the rest of his gaze, and there was only one child squatting on the ground playing with children.

"Did you see that?" Yu Sheng asked.

"See what? There was only one child there. Nick replied.

"Can you see what's in his hand?"

"A pebble." Nick replied.

"Bingo! That's it, that's the partner who won't pass away and won't leave you. What do you think? Will it sell well? Yu Sheng asked.

"Pebbles as pets? That's a really ...... idea. Novelty. Nick thought about it for a long time before he came up with an appropriate adjective.

"That's right, it's a stone pet. Why don't you keep a stone as a pet? He is well-bred and obedient. Even if you forget it all night in a corner, he won't get sick or complain about you, he just looks a little 'sluggish'.

According to what you told me about marketing, I think that although stones are not worth everywhere, we can add things that come with it, such as a beautiful box, such as a comprehensive instruction manual.

It contains instructions for the care, feeding, and home training of pet stones.

It can also be written, for example, 'If you take it out of the box, he will look excited; If you put it in an old newspaper, he understands. It's very well-behaved and sensible, and it doesn't need you to teach it, and it will obediently stay on the paper until you move it'.

How does Nick sound? ”

Yu Sheng finished talking about his assumptions and asked Nick.

"Huh?" Nick suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Yu Sheng with amazement, "Have you thought about this idea a long time ago, or are you ......?"

"I just thought of it," said Nick, "first I saw the stone in the child's hand, and then I remembered a Chinese idiom -- the sea is dry and the stones are rotten."

Stones don't die, so it's better to raise them. No need to eat, no illness, no need to take care of eating, drinking, and Lazar. What a cute pet.

Nick, don't you think I can't do that? ”

"Okay! Yes! Yes! Because it was important, Nick repeated it three times, "You're such a genius for the rest of your life!" Stone pets, this idea is really fantastic. ”

As he spoke, Nick jumped up.

The children were curious to watch, and the adults passing by hurriedly pulled them away. I am afraid that the "strange disease" in Nick's body will be transmitted to the child.

"Don't say that, I'll be proud." The rest of his life said shyly.

A good memory is better than a bad pen. Even Nick, a foreigner from the United States who should be very foreign, is still using this technology that doesn't seem to be high-end at all.

The rest of his life watched Nick write and draw in his notebook, not simply listing, but using a variety of different shapes of frames, simplifying different information into phrases, and then drawing connecting lines according to the logical relationships.

Nick told Yu Sheng that this recording method, called mind mapping, can help people sort things out. Even if it is a complicated matter, it will become simple and easy to understand when you use this method to sort it out.

Nick says it was the most useful thinking tool he learned in college.

When I was reviewing for the rest of my life, I sorted out the knowledge points according to the rules of the mind map. From point to line, from line to surface. The knowledge points of the college entrance examination are like a net-like vein, slowly opening in front of him.

The various disciplines are not isolated and unconnected. History requires geographical knowledge, and geography also includes political-economic knowledge.

After sorting out the rest of his life with a knowledge network map, it suddenly became clear that many things that were a little vague in the book, and he summarized and sorted out the answers that were not much different from the correct answers.

Learning efficiency is higher, and it can be said that you can get twice the result with half the effort. (To be continued.) )
