July, the rainy season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rain was pouring down, the sky was dim, and the sound of heavy rain seemed to drown out all sounds. This kind of weather makes people dreary and depressing.

The father of the rest of his life, although he is the director of the factory, is not much different from the ordinary worker, and it is still a tube building. In this era, housing is tight, and it is actually not easy to live in a tube building and use running water.

Yu Sheng looked at the rain curtain outside the house, lifted the spoon and stuffed a mouthful of porridge into his mouth, thinking back to the conversation he had with his father just now.

"This can be ......," Yu Tiecheng said in a changed tone, "but...... Only this time, the next is not an example. You are still a student, you should focus on your studies, review hard, and strive to get into a good university next year. ”

"But ......," Yu Sheng argued. Trained in a video game notebook, he has set himself the goal of making a video game, and the hydro game console is just a springboard to video games when the conditions are insufficient.

Time does not wait for me, the video game notebook records that video games have emerged since the late 70s and became the darling of the market. Its changes can be described as changing with each passing day, Gou is new, **** new, and new day by day.

From simple to complex, from complex to more complex, from more complex to super complex. The later you enter the video game industry, the more you need to learn, and the slimmer your chances of getting ahead.

Of course, this is not to say that latecomers have no opportunities at all, even if they are all video games, there are several very different market segments. Logically speaking, there is still a chance to enter at any time.

However, from the subjective point of view of the rest of his life, he still feels that the earlier he enters, the greater the chance.

"Nothing." Yu Tiecheng said, "This time it is already an exception for you to participate in the Qi fair with this hydraulic game machine. The purpose is to let you see the world, do you really think that foreigners will fall in love with your little toy with no technical content and place an order? ”

Yu Tiecheng said as he picked up a thickened Canton Fair commodity album from the coffee table.

He opened the album and said to Yu Sheng, "Look at all the commodities on display at the Canton Fair." The number below the product photo is the number and volume of transactions they have made, do you see that there are similar things to your hydro game console here, have you got the order? ”

I took the Canton Fair album for the rest of my life, and it can be seen that the album has a lot of money, and full-color books are not common now. Even the most intense senior year review is difficult to do with printed papers, and basically copy the questions with straw paper and then do it.

The rest of my life turned very slowly, page after page, and the commodities at the Canton Fair can be divided into several categories. The largest trading volume and the largest trading volume are silk fabrics.

The second place is handicrafts such as porcelain, which have traditional Chinese characteristics.

In third place is local specialties such as dried shiitake mushrooms.

The fourth place is a small number of mechanical appliances, some materials that can be used in industry.

A thick Canton Fair commodity album was flipped down, and there was indeed nothing similar to a water-powered game machine to get an order. There is not even a product similar to a water-powered game console in the catalogue.

"There is no similar product of water game machine on this at all, why do you say that my water game machine will not be able to get an order at the Qi Fair?" Yu Sheng put down the album and said to his father.

"You're so confident in your hydro console?" When Yu Tiecheng saw his son's persistence, he couldn't say whether he was relieved or disappointed. For a person, it is always good to have persistence. However, if you insist on going in the wrong direction, you are obsessed.

"Have faith!"

Yu Sheng said loudly, he felt that he was not convincing with such empty white teeth, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight for a shot.

"I can give a military order. If I don't get the order for the hydro game machine, then I will honestly review for the university entrance examination. If I get an order for a hydro console, I can continue to develop new products. ”

Yu Tiecheng looked at his son's desperate appearance, felt a little funny and cute, and thought of his own kid in his heart, he was really still a child who had not been stormy, and everything was too optimistic. However, since he has the consciousness of issuing a military order, it is better not to dampen his enthusiasm.

Yu Tiecheng said with a smile, "Okay, if your hydraulic game machine can get foreign exchange orders, you can develop new products, if your hydraulic game machine, no one asks, and no one places an order." You kid just go back to school. ”

"Okay!" Yu Sheng said.

The kitchen and toilet in the tube building are outside the bedroom. Mother Li Zizhen came in with porridge outside the door, looked at the father and son as if they had reached an agreement, stopped quarreling, and showed a smile.

She said, "Lao Yu and Shengsheng came to eat, Lao Yu went to work after eating, Shengsheng didn't sleep all night, and went to sleep after eating." ”

"Sleep after eating, he's a piggy?" Yu Tiecheng picked up the bowl and said, and then said in a disdainful tone, "Whoever raises a little pig lamb like this who only eats and does not grow fat is also unlucky." ”

"Don't talk while you're eating." Li Zizhen said.

Yu Sheng looked up at his father, who was holding a bowl of porridge, and took a piece of pickles, but didn't speak. He knew Daddy was joking, though not so funny.

Yu Tiecheng ate quickly, and after eating, he put on a dark Mao jacket and went downstairs to work.

Li Zizhen finished eating the second, and after eating, she told the rest of her life to remember to wash the dishes and go to work.

They had not been gone long ago, and the sky had not been long before it became dark. The rain poured down from the sky before it was a moment.

After eating the last bite of porridge for the rest of his life, he put down the spoon and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Walk out the door and go to the kitchen at the end of the building to clean.

His movements were mechanical, because, in his head, he was still recalling the military order he had just given.

Hopefully, there will be foreign businessmen who can place orders for water-powered game machines.

There seems to be nothing else to do for the rest of your life other than making a wish.

Wrong!

There is no savior in this world, and there is no immortal emperor. What's the use of praying to the heavens, with this effort, it is better to think about how to package the hydro game machine and give it a name that will attract foreigners.

Thinking of this, Yu Sheng put down the dishes and chopsticks that had been cleaned in his hand, returned to the house, and pulled two dictionaries from the shelf. They are Japanese dictionaries and English dictionaries.

From these two dictionaries, he wanted to come up with a resounding foreign name for the water-powered game machine. The reason why he doesn't translate directly himself is because the second language he learns is Russian.

Now that China is at war with the Soviet Union, it is impossible for the businessmen who come to the rendezvous to have people from the Soviet camp. And the countries of the capitalist camp, at the moment in the eyes of the Chinese, the most powerful are the United States and Japan.

Yu Sheng thinks the same way, which is why he will open these two dictionaries.

Be sure to come up with a good name! With such a thought in his mind, the rest of his life plunged headlong into the sea of words.

The imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

It is almost impossible to start from the dictionary and give two powerful foreign names to a water game machine without knowing two foreign languages, Japanese and English.

Yu Sheng thought about it, since you can't come up with a flashy name, then look for a few words related to the water game machine and come up with a simple and easy-to-understand name.

"Water" and "game", the rest of my life finally locked these two words in the English-Chinese dictionary. The two words are joined together, and it is the English name of the water power game machine.

The name is simple and crude, and if you look at the English name, you will know that the water game machine is a water-related game machine.

As for the Japanese name, yes.

For the rest of his life, he once heard his father tell such a story, since Japan was forced to open its doors to the country after the Black Ship Incident in 1853, it began to have an indescribable admiration for Western civilization. Even the uniforms of the schoolgirls were modeled after the costumes of American sailors. Culturally, foreign words have also begun to be used extensively in Japanese.

Foreign words quoted earlier are also translated into Chinese characters and phonetically annotated. However, as more and more foreign languages were introduced, this inefficient means of translation was abandoned. In the end, it was changed to a foreign vocabulary and directly used katakana phonetics.

In this way, the name of the water game machine is not just a direct translation of the English words "water, game" into katakana.

Yu Sheng looked up the Japanese dictionary for a while and got the Japanese translation done.

Looking at the English and Japanese translations I translated, I felt a sense of accomplishment and admired the lines of the English alphabet and Japanese kana for a while. His eyelids began to heavily, and he lay down and fell asleep.

While Yu Sheng was sleeping, Yu Tiecheng was discussing production issues with workers in the factory. At first, the questions he asked seemed a little ridiculous, but with constant corrections, the questions he asked gradually began to become more reliable.

The words of his wife Li Zizhen this morning made Yu Tiecheng have an epiphany. Instead of sulking alone, it is better to use this sulking kung fu on the workers.

How to listen and how to ask questions are all knowledge, and it is precisely these two disciplines that Yu Tiecheng just learned, and when he practices it at this moment, the effect is also significant.

For most of the day, after visiting a small half of the workers in the workshop, Yu Tiecheng found out what the problem in the factory was.

No, there are no orders, but people's hearts are scattered.

The old factory manager died unexpectedly due to a sudden illness, and he parachuted into the factory, if he was actively involved in production at that time, maybe it would be nothing.

However, due to his own inaction, as well as some rumors from the brother factory next door, and some orders were snatched away by the brother factory. It is inevitable that the idle workers will not start to think too much.

Thinking about it, I feel that there is no future for a soldier who does not understand production. Those who can transfer the relationship to the factory will transfer the factory to the factory, and those who can't transfer see no hope, and they will be let go. In addition, if there is no order, if you are idle, you will be idle, so you will do private work.

Anyway, the materials in the factory are not money, and some "scrap" can be used to process things that can be exchanged for money, except for some effort, almost zero input, but with good output, why not do it.

Yu Tiecheng analyzed this and launched self-criticism.

The predicament faced by Qingtai Machinery No. 3 Factory today is inseparable from itself. If you want the three factories to get out of the predicament, you naturally need to start from yourself in order to solve the problem.

Taking advantage of the break, Yu Tiecheng stood on top of a table and shouted loudly at the workers below, "Comrades, please listen to me......

The workers, including Liu Changjiang and Chen Jinnan, all looked in the direction of Yu Tiecheng's shouting.

"I know that not only is there a problem in the factory now, but everyone is facing difficulties now, and the children who have gone to the mountains and the countryside in the past few years have returned. There are no jobs and most of them are unemployed at home. If there is no work, there is no food, and everyone uses 'waste' to do some work in private, and as a factory director and father, I can understand. ”

Yu Tiecheng first revealed the matter of doing private work, and then continued, "Comrades all know that the provincial trade fair will be held in a few days. Our factory also has a quota for exhibitors. Zhang Gong and Zhao Gong in our factory have been preparing for the expo for several months.

Comrades all know the importance of foreign exchange, our country, just reform and opening up, everything is ready to be prosperous. If our factory's products can get foreign exchange orders. If nothing else, at least the matter of the children in the comrades' families taking over the post can be solved.

The children have jobs, and those of us who are parents are not at ease. It's really a bit chaotic in society right now, and it's not a good thing to have a job.

To be able to get foreign exchange orders, not only the children have jobs, but also our factories have jobs. Whether you can evaluate the advanced, whether you can increase your salary or not, at least when you celebrate the New Year, you can also have meat to eat, and you can live a better life, right? ”

The workers below began to whisper, and the time when honor was very important was different from a few decades ago. Times are changing, and today's workers are more concerned about whether the children in the family can have jobs, and if they have a job, they will have the opportunity to share a house, and if they have a chance to share a house, it means that they can marry a wife and have children.

What I still care about is food and clothing, it is best to increase wages, but if you can't increase wages, it's not good to pay some benefits.

"Director, what if I can't get a foreign exchange order?"

A worker raised his hand and asked.

Before Yu Tiecheng could speak, the worker who asked the question was glared at angrily by the workers around him. Fortunately, he is a famous brainless man in the factory, and no one blames him.

In the eyes of the workers, Yu Tiecheng dared to say this in front of so many workers, which means that he has a firm grasp of the foreign exchange order.

In the eighties, being a soldier, even as a demobilized soldier, was respected. Although it is always said in private that the new factory director does not know how to engage in production, no one speaks ill of the soldiers.

Yu Tiecheng has never commanded indiscriminately and let go of his mouth, so this time he still has the credibility to speak publicly.

Even in the worst-case scenario, nothing more than not getting a foreign exchange order, nothing has changed. Everyone is not stupid, since there are benefits to success, and failure will not get worse, why oppose it.

"We have to believe in ourselves and we will definitely get foreign exchange orders. Are there any more comrades who have questions? Yu Tiecheng asked.

His gaze swept over the workers below, some of them looked at him, some avoided his gaze, looked around, and no one asked.

"So be it, all of them, adjourn!"

Qingtai Machinery No. 3 Factory has begun to gather initial cohesion. (To be continued.) )
