Today is the day when the "NB Future Window" was listed in Russia, and the German and Russian colleagues of NB Electric (Russia) Company who have been trained for nearly half a year have made a lot of preparations for this.

Priced in dollars, no amount of rubles can be bought, and it is sold only in department stores in major cities. The sales volume of the first day of the market will not be known until 7 p.m.

The charter is like a person who has nothing to do, but Xia Yao can't be so calm as him, he is absent-minded during class, and after class, he and the female bodyguard Magdalena went to the nearest mall to learn about the sales of "NB Future Window" in St. Petersburg.

In order to finish the experiment, the charter did not leave work until half past five.

Back at the villa, the two ladies were sitting around the roaring fireplace, scribbling over a newspaper with the "NB Window of the Future."

"I'm back."

Xia Yao had just taken a shower, wearing a red round-neck woolen sweater, and his long black hair was scattered over his shoulders. She was born to be a clothes rack, no matter what kind of clothes she wears, she looks so good, her heart is warm, and she comes forward with a warm hug.

This is Russia, not in China, she didn't feel embarrassed because there were two bodyguards, like all Russian couples, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "The rice is in the pot, I'll go and heat it for you." ”

"No, I ate at school before I came back."

Magdalena, who was looking at him with a smile, nodded slightly, pointed to the large stack of newspapers in front of the fireplace, and asked with interest, "How is the advertisement, is there any creativity?" ”

Xia Yao snorted and said, "Sister Lin personally reviewed the draft." In your words, 'high-end, atmospheric, high-grade'. If the printing quality is better. The effect will definitely be better than it is now. ”

Domestic color TV companies invest heavily in propaganda and light production, and would rather spend millions of dollars on the prime time of TV media or spend huge sums of money to invite celebrities to endorse, rather than work production.

NB Electric, on the contrary, is extremely cautious in its advertising investment.

Before the launch of "NB Future Window", I only did the image promotion of the group on the two major TV stations in Hong Kong, a few minutes of short films, and it was not prime time. Even BNB International, German, Spanish and Arabic have only done a few untraceable product placements for NB Electric since its launch.

Or don't do it. To achieve the best results, we must not let potential customers get tired aesthetically.

Therefore, in terms of production, the group planning department attaches great importance to it, and with the assistance of the design department, we ask the best advertising company to design the proposed plan, and solicit the opinions of the regional companies and branches, until everyone feels that there is no problem.

The charter sat down in front of the fireplace, took the newspaper handed by Magdalena, and asked while reading, "Wife, Sister Lin is about to give birth, right?" ”

"Conceived in October. How can it be so fast? ”

Xia Yao put on his gloves and threw a quick firewood into the furnace. said enviously: "When I called some time ago, she was preparing to go back to her hometown with Director Huang for the New Year, and she should be on her way back to the Special Economic Zone." ”

"Will she go back to Germany with Lao Huang?"

"No, she is going to give birth in Hong Kong, all for the sake of the child, after all, Hong Kong's medical care and education are better."

Lin Huixian was one of the first colleagues to go to Hong Kong from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, but due to various reasons, she has not been able to do the same kind of technical immigration as Kwok Junru and Shen Xinru. Every year when I go to Europe, I have a Panamanian passport, but my nationality has not been revoked because of this.

As a veteran of the company, as well as a shareholder of NB Electrician and NB Electrical, she is not short of money. Moreover, as the former director of the Technique Application Laboratory, her husband Huang Li'an is a very popular high-tech talent, and it is just a matter of choice for the couple to immigrate or not, and which country or region to move to.

I helped her apply for a Panamanian passport before, completely for the convenience of going abroad.

Hong Kong's immigration control is becoming more and more stringent, and this will not be a long-term solution. But where will they go in the future, the charter doesn't want to interfere anymore, but said thoughtfully: "Wife, go back in the second half of the year, my mother will definitely want us to have a wedding, your affairs can't be delayed any longer, have you thought about it, immigrate to Hong Kong, or immigrate to Germany?" ”

Marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, Xia Yao blurted out: "Of course Hong Kong, this still has to be asked." ”

"Okay, I'll call Lawyer Wang tomorrow."

She asked softly, "Isn't it troublesome?" ”

"Investment immigration, no trouble," the charter smiled, and then said: "If you don't want to do investment immigration, then go to Hong Kong to go to university, and then go to the headquarters to work for a period of time after graduation, and you can also get the right of residence." ”

Investment immigration, money or into the company, Xia Yao pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Which is faster?" ”

"Invest quickly, put it down, Lawyer Wang will take care of it."

As he was talking, he was suddenly attracted by the two words on the masthead, and after reading it for a while, he said with a smile: "In China, I only heard that there are 'bargaining oil' and 'bargaining meat', but I didn't expect that even the "Komsomol Pravda" would bargain. Wife, you bought the newspaper, how is it a 'bargaining' method? ”

Xia Yao glanced sideways, and said strangely: "You stay in Shengda all day, you can't feel how much the prices outside have risen, this newspaper was 5 kopecks a copy last year, and now it has risen to 28 rubles, and it is rising every day, and the bargaining is also helpless, if the subscription price at the end of last year is followed, the newspaper will have to close its door." ”

Russia is a people who love to read newspapers.

In the subway, on the bus, in the garden in the middle of the street, you can see Russians burying their heads in reading newspapers. Newsstands are also dotted on the streets.

In Soviet times, newspapers and magazines were very inexpensive, and each household had several newspapers and periodicals. The circulation of newspapers and periodicals is very large, with the circulation of Pravda and Izvestia reaching millions of copies, and even the circulation of the more professional magazine "Drama Life" reaching 80,000 copies.

When he first arrived at St. Petersburg University last year, in order to learn Russian, he subscribed to Pravda, Izvestia, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Russian Culture, Literature, Moscow Leisure, and Frontier Science.

Unexpectedly, in the past few months, a newspaper has already sold for more than 20 rubles. No wonder the newspapers and periodicals ordered at the Holy University are not delivered.

Look at his sudden realization. The female bodyguard Magdalena said, "Mr. Zhang." Komsomolskaya Pravda is considered good, and despite the price increase, it can still be distributed normally. In fact, the entire newspaper and periodical industry has encountered many crises, such as the "Culture Daily", which has gone from a dozen pages to only a few pages at once. It is said that there has been a 'no-newspaper week' in Riga, the capital of Latvia, because after independence, it is difficult to get paper from Russia as before. ”

Charter nodded. He said with emotion: "This is normal, the one-year subscription fee paid when subscribing will be used up in less than two months, the price of paper is rising, and you have to pay a lot of additional printing fees to the printing house, so it is not so easy to survive." ”

It's Russia's business that the Russian publishing industry can't do it, Xia Yao doesn't care so much, and said with a casual smile: "So it's right that our color TV is priced in dollars, if you accept rubles, God knows what kind of loss will happen!" ”

To her surprise. The charter thoughtfully said: "The change of government and the advancement of privatization have had an unprecedented impact on the Russian press industry. On the one hand. The circulation of newspapers and periodicals fluctuates greatly; On the other hand, private individuals can run newspapers, and new newspapers and television stations are emerging one after another.

This may be an opportunity for BNB News to call Mr. Frederrick and Mr. Frank early tomorrow morning and ask them to consult with the city on policies and regulations in this regard. If foreign investment in the press and publishing industry is allowed, then President Daniel is invited to study the possibility of doing business in Russia. ”

"Very good, sir."

Although the general's villa is not comparable with those former high-ranking officials of the Politburo of the CPSU, the corresponding facilities are still relatively perfect. Russians love cleanliness, and even the most ordinary citizens have a bathhouse in the countryside villa, and this villa not only has a bathhouse, but even a very nice sauna.

After reading the literature for a long time and doing experiments for half a day, I was really tired, so I took a comfortable bath, and my spirit suddenly improved again.

As usual, go back to the study to see if there is a fax from the group headquarters through the St. Petersburg branch. At this time, Xia Yao would make a cup of green tea brought from China, and then sit quietly on the side, waiting for him to finish dealing with the group's affairs, and then go back to the bedroom to read or rest together.

There was only one fax from Li Xiaoshan today, and after reading the content of the fax, he grabbed the phone and dialed the number of the group affairs department.

"NB Electric Group Affairs Department, what can I do for you?"

It was 11:25 p.m. Hong Kong time, and the colleague on duty may be having a late-night snack, but he didn't connect the first time, and the second time he didn't connect, until the third call, a familiar voice came from the phone.

"Second sister?" Xia Yao's ears were sharp, and Zhang Lin's voice could be heard from so far away.

The charter grimaced, pretending to be serious and replied: "During duty hours, no one answers the phone, I want to complain to Director Liang." ”

Pretending to be a ghost, Zhang Lin was happy, and said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Vote, just vote, and you don't have a salary, it's best to fire me." ”

"If you want to pick a child, no way."

Zhang Lin was not interested in arguing with him, and asked directly: "It's so late, if you have something to say, you have nothing to say about it, so you have nothing to do and give the phone to Xia Yao." I haven't seen her for so long, so I miss her. ”

"You'll talk about it later, let's get down to business first, do you have a pen at hand?"

Zhang Lin looked very impatient and urged: "The phone is recorded, let's talk quickly, international calls are expensive." ”

The charter looked at the fax sent by Li Xiaoshan, and said slowly: "I have read the topic of Mr. Li going to BJ to attend the CPPCC meeting, and it is not impossible for him to take the first shot when it comes to 'anti-pseudoscience'." However, the plan was not thorough enough to make an impact, so I proposed that the planning department work with the laboratory to develop a plan and set up a support team for him. ”

Finally took those swaggering qigong masters, Zhang Lin, who was not ignorant of this plan, was excited, and asked eagerly: "San'er, sister starts school late, or let my sister go with Mr. Li?" ”

"No, you don't need to be there for this kind of thing."

The charter paused, and then said: "The stakes are high, and as for how to do it, the planning department has a plan before. In short, either you don't do it, or you have to do it thoroughly, crack down on the arrogance of the charlatans over there, and determine the status of the NB laboratory in the domestic academic community in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, since Mr. Xie and Principal Gao have a plan, then I won't ask more questions and let Xia Yao answer the phone."

kept saying that international calls were expensive, but as soon as Xia Yao took the phone, Zhang Lin forgot what she said before. The two chatted for nearly half an hour before they hung up.

Back in the bedroom, Xia Yao reminded worriedly: "Husband, human science is not so easy to oppose, even Qian Lao thinks that the research work on the specific functions of the human body is very important, and we stand on the opposite side of him, which is not a good thing for the group and the laboratory." ”

As early as more than ten years ago, the famous scientist Qian Lao expressed his support for the study of the specific functions of the human body from the perspective of developing human potential in an interview with the journal Nature. He said: "When a new scientific study is first proposed, there is always opposition from it, and the person who takes the lead is always against it, so you have to have courage and hold your back. ”

It was during that visit that he first introduced the concept of "human science".

Next, he was out of control, not only served as the honorary chairman of the "Human Science Society", but also held a ridiculous "Quantum Physics and Human Science Symposium" with a group of so-called scientists.

Write letters to the head of the Central Committee, and raise the flag for "human science" in public and private settings, as well as in various media. And those "masters" also appeared one after another, and some of them even infiltrated the treatment team for the old head of the central government, claiming that it had special functions, and used extremely clumsy magic tricks to deceive the trust of the old head of the center.

Gradually, a violent air current was formed, sweeping over all regions, all kinds of people, etc. In just a few years, there are more than 60 million qigong fans, dozens of qigong newspapers and periodicals, various qigong academic works, qigong medical hospitals, and qigong performances.

In the eyes of the charter, this is simply a shame for Chinese scientists. If he hadn't been abroad, out of sight, he would have taken care of those "masters" a long time ago.

"Old confused, old confused, the older you get, the more confused you get."

He sighed lightly and said lightly: "Qian Lao is a very accomplished scientist, but it doesn't mean that he won't be confused. Newton is great, his great achievements in astronomy, optics, mathematics, and mechanics for the establishment of science are well-known and illuminated in history, but when he is old, he will be confused.

We do not want to stand on the opposite side of him, but to defend the dignity of science, dispel ignorance and superstition, and oppose pseudoscience, and we must not let a lie repeated a thousand times become the truth, and we must not let our domestic colleagues engaged in scientific research become the laughing stock of the whole world.
