Chapter 117 News about Ming Pao and Jin Yong
"Hello, hello, hello, Bai school beauty." Yang Wendong naturally thought of the beauty he saw at the University of Hong Kong.
Actually, Yang Wendong, who has watched countless beauties on Douyin in later generations, can be said to be semi-immune to this aspect; it’s just that the visual impact of the twins is too strong
On the other side of the phone Bai Yujie let out a crisp sound Laughing, he said: "Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Yang, what kind of school beauty can I be?"
Yang Wendong said: "I went to your school last time and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see anyone more beautiful than you. Okay, if you’re not the school beauty, who is?”
The term school beauty has been around since the Republic of China, and it certainly exists in Hong Kong as well; but usually, no one really does any rankings.
And there are very few college students nowadays. If you want to be named a school beauty, you generally need not only beauty, but also knowledge and talent.
Bai Yujie on the other side of the phone was obviously a little happy and said: "That's because Yang Sheng comes to our school too few times. If he comes a few more times, he will definitely see many other beautiful female students. !”
Yang Wendong asked with a smile: “Is Miss Bai inviting me to school?”
The word “miss” is still a compliment in this era...
Bai Yujie pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, but mainly, I want to know something about the Rubik's Cube."
"The Rubik's Cube? Have you found a way to restore it, Miss Bai?" Yang Wendong said jokingly.
He also knew that Bai Yujie had something to do with him. Most likely, he wanted to learn more about the Rubik's Cube last time.
Although he is not bad looking, he is not someone who would let beautiful women take the initiative to date him. Especially in this era, women in universities may be more open-minded than ordinary women, but their social background is still affected by the past. of.
Besides, what attracts men most to women is ability, and appearance is just a bonus. Even if women are most attracted to men, appearance is only slightly more important, but it is not the only one. Temperament, talent, etc. are all important. Very important.
Bai Yujie on the other side of the phone said: "That's not true. There is just one person who restored one side, and it was restored many times."
"One side?" Yang Wendong asked in surprise: "That can write Is there a systematic method? Can this method be used to restore one side of the Rubik's Cube in any position? "
The six-sided restoration of the Rubik's Cube is a hell difficulty mode. Many people in the past life couldn't figure it out even if they watched the video. You can definitely learn it.
But it is much simpler to do it on one side, and it can be restored occasionally if you rotate it multiple times.
It’s just that accidental recovery and finding a systematic way to ensure recovery to one side are obviously two different things.
Bai Yujie's somewhat suspicious voice came from the microphone: "Yang Sheng, are you sure there is such a method that can ensure that no matter what direction it starts from, it can be restored to the same one side or the same six sides?"
< br>"Of course." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Bai Yujie obviously didn't believe it and said, "Do you have such a method?"
"What do you think." Yang Wendong asked.
Bai Yujie asked: "Then since you have a method, why are you still offering a reward?"
Yang Wendong said: "Business secrets."
Bai Yujie paused for a moment and said: "I think you are just making things up."
Yang Wendong smiled and asked: "What do you think about this world? Is there no way to restore the Rubik's Cube?"
Bai Yujie replied: "Theoretically, I think it should be possible to restore it, but I think it is unlikely that there is a method that can make the Rubik's Cube recover in any state. Recover."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can treat me to a meal and I'll show it to you?"
Bai Yujie asked back: "Aren't you afraid that if I learn it, I'll get 10,000 yuan?"
"If it were so easy to learn, it wouldn't be valuable." Yang Wendong said nonchalantly.
The Rubik's Cube recovery method, even if there are detailed formulas, information, and even videos, it will take a period of time for a normal person to learn it, and it also requires constant trial and practice.
Besides, he couldn't come up with any information. Just looking at it was no different from groping for it on his own.
The other person on the phone paused for a moment and said: "I can treat you to a meal, but I am just a poor student, so I can only treat you to a meal in the university cafeteria."
"Okay, I haven't eaten at school yet." Yang Wendong agreed with a smile.
Last time I went to the University of Hong Kong, I invited Professor Yang to dinner. Naturally, he ate out. Isn’t it funny to invite this professor to the school cafeteria for dinner?
Bai Yujie asked: "Okay, when will you come over?"
"It depends on your time, I am free during this time." Yang Wendong is really not busy during this time.
Several important things are currently in the waiting period. For example, Qian Shangde is handling the glue factory and technical matters in the United States, Wei Zetao is tracking the new factory and loan matters, and Zhou Xianlong is in charge of the factory. Production.
As for him, apart from understanding these few things and making relevant decisions at the right time, he doesn't really care about anything else. Delegating power to his subordinates is also a basic requirement for a boss, otherwise he will be exhausted even if he has to do all the little things. Just need to know in time.
As the top leader of the company, what he needs to consider more is the future planning. From the current point of view, besides the existing industries, the Rubik's Cube is more important.
Unless he can think of other products with better ideas one day.
"Well..." Bai Yujie said after a while: "Then at noon the day after tomorrow, you come to our school. Before you come, call this number, 257...63."
" Okay." Yang Wendong wrote down the number on a sticky note, and then said: "I will go to school the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Bai Yujie seemed a little happy and said: "Many students in our school are very interested in this Rubik's Cube. When the time comes, Yang Sheng will provide more information in this area so that I can write a "
After listening, Yang Wendong asked: "What kind of information?"
Bai Yujie said: "For example, who invented this thing and how it was invented. Why was this invented?
Or, who is the inventor of this thing? It would be better if Yang Sheng could bring him for an interview! After a pause, he said: "Let's talk first."
"OK, that's okay." Bai Yujie didn't ask any more, and then said: "Then I'll hang up and see you the day after tomorrow."
"Okay...dududu~" Yang Wendong hadn't finished speaking yet. , the phone on the other side hung up.
Really fast?
She is just a little girl with little social experience. Anyone who has some social experience usually makes a phone call. Unless you are dealing with an acquaintance or subordinate, you have to wait, at least until it is almost the same, before hanging up!
……
At noon the next day, Yang Wendong was eating lunch in the office while looking at company information.
As a boss, he naturally doesn't care about rest time and working time. Besides, there is no entertainment in this era. At most, he can watch TV, and there is no such thing in his office. Even at home, although there is a TV, he doesn't watch much. He often can't stand the TV content in this era. In addition, there is only one Li TV station in Hong Kong, so there is nothing interesting to watch.
"Dong dong dong~" A knock on the door sounded.
Yang Wendong looked up and said with a smile: "Haoyu? Come in."
Lin Haoyu walked in, saw the food on the table, and asked: "Brother Dong also eats food from the company canteen?"
"Yes, sometimes it's convenient, so I just eat a little." Yang Wendong laughed. Liao smiled and said: "By the way, I also supervise the chefs in the canteen to see if they are cutting corners."
The food provided to employees by Changxing Industrial may not be as good as some companies in previous lives, but it is not bad now. , there are often shredded pork in the dishes.
Sometimes Yang Wendong feels that it is troublesome to go out to eat, so he picks up some food in the canteen and comes back to eat. However, as a boss, the food will naturally be more, but at this time, at least it is the same as what the employees eat.
After Lin Haoyu sat across from him, he said: "Brother Dong, you also know that I am responsible for rodent control business services, and I have also met many factory owners, warehouse owners and even some people in office buildings.
From my observation, these people are eager to clear up all the relationships with their employees, and few companies give their workers good food. Brother Dong, if you eat the same thing as the workers, it will probably make the news in the newspapers. "
"Haha, those newspapers in Hong Kong actually have nothing to report. "Yang Wendong smiled.
There are many newspaper companies in Hong Kong, but the content is based on a small city in Hong Kong. How can there be too much content? In the past life, even firefighting and cat rescue could become the headlines in Hong Kong. Once Let the mainland netizens laugh.
But when it comes to the rodent control business, Yang Wendong asked again: "The weather temperature has picked up recently, and the rats should have come out. Your business should be getting better and better, right?" ”
Whether it is a sticky mouse board or a rodent control service business, both are affected by the seasons. Once winter comes, you will have to endure hardship.
Although sticky mouse boards can be exported, the global economy is obviously still mainly in the northern hemisphere. The winter in the northern hemisphere has a great impact on fans, T-shirts, refrigerators and home-made sticky mouse boards that rely on high temperatures to have markets.
Fortunately, I came up with sticky notes, otherwise I wouldn’t be as cool as I am today.
This is also the reason why Yang Wendong wants to enter the toy business. This industry is large-scale and is not affected by the seasonal market. Although the sticky notes are the same, the company must continue to develop. You cannot just lie down with the sticky notes. .
Lin Haoyu replied: "Business has been pretty good recently. Many warehouses, office buildings, government departments and even hospitals have been cooperating with us for a long time.
An Yongqiang has been very helpful. He also Let us go to the pier from time to time to do a small manual extermination of rats. Now that we have become famous, many people have taken the initiative to call and inquire.”
"Well, it can be considered a little out of the circle." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Since An Yongqiang has given help, we have to give some benefits. We still need to understand this rule."
Lin Haoyu said: "Understand, there are indispensable benefits for An Yongqiang. Even for some large office buildings, we will also give some benefits to those who contact us."
"That's good." Yang Wendong nodded.
Lin Haoyu added: "One more thing. In the past few days, I have been thinking about focusing on the development of office buildings on Hong Kong Island. Brother Dong, as you know, there are not many large-scale properties in Kowloon."
< br>Yang Wendong nodded and asked: "Okay, do you have any questions?"
Lin Haoyu replied awkwardly: "I want to place ads in newspapers, but many newspapers are unwilling to give us advertising space."
"Not even if you have money?" Yang Wendong asked curiously: "They dislike being associated with rats." "Relationship?"
"Yes, many newspapers said that even if they give the location, it will be in the corner." Lin Haoyu said: "Maybe it is because the real estate sales have been good recently, and the advertising space in the newspapers has been given to the real estate company. "
"Well, let me take a look." Yang Wendong stood up and found the nearest newspaper from the bookshelf next to him.
He has the habit of reading newspapers every day, because the contents of newspapers can reveal a lot of information, especially now in the 1950s and 1960s, there are too many factors affecting Hong Kong Island.
Then he looked at the advertising spaces that he had not paid much attention to before, and said: "Really, these advertising spaces are for real estate, cars, shopping mall promotions, cosmetics, and even plastic flowers."
Lin Haoyu said: "They won't let go unless we increase the price, but our profits are not high. If we spend too much advertising money, we will lose money.
I also found a company willing to advertise for us in a good location. , but this is a newly established small newspaper called Ming Pao."
"Ming Pao?" Yang Wendong was surprised and asked, "When was this Ming Pao established?"
"This year? It’s the beginning of the year.” Lin Haoyu said.
"Interesting." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "Then cooperate with them. In addition, you can talk to Mingpao to see if you can buy more advertising space. The Rubik's Cube will also need publicity in the future."
"This shouldn't be a problem. They don't have much business now." Lin Haoyu asked strangely: "It's just It’s Brother Dong. The sales volume of this newspaper is very average.
It doesn’t matter if you stick to the mouse board, but shouldn’t you find a big newspaper to promote your Rubik’s Cube? ”
Isn’t it right within Changxing Industrial Company? Few people know that the boss values the Rubik's Cube very much, and that 10,000 yuan bounty is valid for everyone, including company insiders.
Therefore, many insiders are the first to get the moon first. After taking the Rubik's Cube, they went back to study it, but they were all confused and couldn't figure it out.
Yang Wendong asked back: "Have you met the boss of Ming Pao?"
Lin Haoyu replied: "Brother Dong is talking about Mr. Jin Yong? I haven't met him, but the person who contacted me is using the reputation of their boss Bragging, otherwise, this I don’t even like small newspapers.”
Yang Wendong nodded and said: “Well, I am just optimistic about Jin Yong. If his novels are serialized, they will definitely bring a lot of sales to Mingpao. .”
Lin Haoyu scratched his head and said: "I just know Jin Yong's reputation. I have read a little of his novels before, but there are some parts that I can't understand, so I stopped reading!"
"Well , Jin Yong’s writing style is very good, The wording is also better, but you may seem to be struggling a little." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "But I still have to give it a try. If you can finish reading the book, your basic writing skills will be almost there."
After all, they were still illiterate more than a year ago. Even after a year of study, Lin Haoyu and Zhao Liming could not understand all the various idioms or words composed of Chinese characters.
Writing novels in this era is limited by the size of newspapers, and the number of words is generally very concise. At the same time, the number of newspapers is limited, and only those with the best writing skills can publish novels, and Jin Yong is the best among them.
Even Yang Wendong knows many of the words, but this is the first time he has seen them written. This is completely different from the online novels in his previous life~
“Okay, I will read Legend of the Condor Heroes when I have time. " Lin Haoyu said with a smile.
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Well, let's cooperate with Mingpao first and let Liming also place ads on sticky mouse boards. Lao Wei's sticky notes will also work."
Lin Haoyu asked: "Brother Dong, do you like Jin Yong's novels very much?"
"Yes, I like..." Yang Wendong nodded, except that Little Dragon Girl was...;
I read it when I was a child in my previous life. I still don’t understand the TV series, but as I grow up, I think about it It’s uncomfortable. Mingpao deserves to be splashed with paint in this era...
Of course, as a qualified businessman, he also has other business purposes. One is to build good relationships, whether it is because of Jin Yong’s future influence or Mingpao’s future sales. , are all worth making friends with.
Perhaps, there are other opportunities, it depends on the opportunities in the future...
