Chapter 619 Begging for alms (an update on asking for leave)
"Mr. Liu, due to time constraints today, we will hang up the phone first. We will look for your and other compatriots' relatives as soon as possible. Please wait for our news."
“Thank you, thank you, I know the situation is difficult now. I just hope that if If my mother is still alive, you must tell my mother that the third son is still alive."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, good-bye, please take care of yourself and wait for the day when we are reunited. ”
Pan Xiaoying finished speaking patiently, and then gently hung up the phone receiver.
At this moment, her forehead and palms were covered with sweat, as if she had been engaged in a fierce battle.
“Pah, pah, pah, pah~”
Intense and intense applause rang out in the conference room where there had been no noise just now.
The two big guys took the lead in applauding, congratulating the success of this transoceanic call and congratulating a breakthrough in cross-strait relations.
Li Ye also applauded, feeling filled with emotion.
In the era of "everyone on earth knows about anti-fraud" in a few decades, whenever a call comes in from an unknown person from overseas, if you don't hang up the phone for three seconds, the risk of being defrauded will increase by 200%.
But on this day in 1985, a randomly dialed transoceanic phone call convinced the person who answered the phone that the call lasted for half an hour before reluctantly hanging up.
The reason is that the group of people who ran from the mainland to the other side of the strait are still alive.
After Liu Xunzhang reported the name and address of his old mother, he also reported the hometown addresses of several compatriots and asked Pan Xiaoying to help find out the information.
The desire and concern these people have for their hometown cannot be compared to those people decades later.
As long as this group of people is not dead, it will not be the turn of those clowns to perform on stage.
It’s just that it won’t be long.
The Taiwanese compatriot named "Liu Xunzhang" was only twenty-five when he crossed the sea, and he is now sixty-one years old. And the few other people who arrived on the other side with him and are still alive, Already over seventy.
I wonder if these people would be so angry that they would jump out of the coffin if they knew how messy things would be in a few decades.
After the applause ended, several big bosses gave speeches, speaking highly of the telecommunications staff on site, and even praised Pan Xiaoying.
But Pan Xiaoying's performance surprised Li Ye.
She did not greedy for credit, but said modestly: "Actually, I was inspired by several people in the cultural circles to make this plan."
"This is Mr. Pei Wencong, he is the person in charge of Talang Literary Publishing House in Hong Kong. He has been committed to the "Thousands of Miles Searching for Relatives" activity since five years ago,
We have successfully contacted hundreds of overseas Chinese with their families, and this time provided financial and technical support."
"This is Li Ye, he also has a pen name of Qicun. Blade, when he attended the film festival in Tokyo, he learned about the distress and homesickness of his compatriots who also attended the film festival"
Pan Xiaoying actually showed off Pei Wencong and Li Ye, and then the boss shook hands with the two of them warmly.
Looking at the reporters nearby, they had already found an angle and started taking pictures. Even though Li Ye had the blessing of a reborn bug, his heartbeat could not help but speed up. As for Pei Wencong, he was even more excited.
“This is what I should do, for the sake of the reunion of the motherland.”
“Although the family does not speak the same language, we still want to thank Mr. Pei. Generosity"
The boss gave a few gentle words of encouragement and took one more look at Li Ye before leaving.
Maybe he thinks that although this Li Ye is young, he is different!
After the big boss left, the scene suddenly became lively.
Pei Wencong excitedly said to Li Ye: "I thought it was just a small thing, but now I feel it is so meaningful."
Li Ye smiled and said: "Yes. Don’t you think that some things are more interesting to do than making money?”
“It’s meaningful, not interesting. How can we say that something as big as a family reunion is ‘interesting’?”
Pei Wencong had a rare argument with Li Ye and corrected Li Ye's "speech problem."
Li Ye smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are right, if you want to do more meaningful things If so, you can contact Guizhou Film Studio to help them film "Blood" "Battle of Taierzhuang" will be released on Hong Kong Island earlier. "
"Okay, I will contact them as soon as possible, and it will be on me. Now they have to give me some face."
Pei Wencong agreed without thinking, which made Li Ye very pleased.
In the past, Pei Wencong was not keen on the issue of "reunion", but with in-depth contact with the mainland, he has gradually been influenced into a staunch "reunion fan".
"Why are you chatting so lively?"
Pei Wencong was chatting in a low voice with Li Ye when Master Ni came over, followed by a middle-aged man in military uniform. Dashen Ni came here today to provide technical support. He was busy for a long time before he said his first words to Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled and said: "Mr. Ni, you are asking questions knowingly. What else can we talk about at this time? We are talking about the same thing as everyone else! This is"
< br>Since Master Ni brought this middle-aged man here, he must have wanted to introduce each other, but Pei Wencong had never been in contact with active military personnel from the mainland, so he was a little nervous.
And looking at the epaulettes of this soldier, it turned out to be only 23 cents, and the military rank was not low.
So Li Ye asked first. After all, in the minds of overseas people, mainlanders and mainland soldiers are not the same kind of people.
Isn’t it clear that everyone should speak openly and honestly?
"This is Lao Bu, Bu Qingjun, a friend of a friend of mine. I just happened to go to the 506 Factory to learn about some technical issues these days, so I came over to take a look."
"Oh, Hello, Colonel Bu."
Pei Wencong smiled, shook hands with the other party, and then began to greet him.
But Li Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
Even without searching the biometric hard drive, Li Ye knew who this 23 cents was.
His name may not be as loud as Ni Dashen, but his contribution is not small at all, because he is one of the founders of the development of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System project in the mainland, and he is a truly outstanding figure.
In 1983, Korean Air Flight 007 mysteriously wandered over Soviet Russia after taking off from New York.
It was dark, and the Soviet army fired warning shots. The passenger plane was not aware of it, and was shot down by a missile just as it was about to leave Soviet and Russian airspace.
When the news came out, the whole world was shocked. The Cold War was gathering dark clouds. The United States and the Soviet Union suppressed their anger and waited for the results of the black box investigation.
The results showed that the passenger plane broke into the airspace due to a geomagnetic navigation failure. In the same year, U.S. President Ronald Reagan decided to open the GPS system under construction to global civilian use.
For the first time, ordinary people can clearly know where they are on the planet. This year, the person in charge of the Chinese side was able to participate in the American GPS seminar, and the person in charge was this old divination man.
The 506 factory where Ni Dashen has just been transferred has been doing research on radios, so it makes sense that Lao Bu went to understand the technical issues.
"Mr. Bu, what specific communication research project are you talking about? If I didn't know anything, it would be difficult for me to invest in you because there is no feasible project and it cannot pass the board of directors."
"The main research is in the direction of wireless communications. I heard Lao Ni say that you are going to develop mobile phones in the future, right! We can share some research results by then."
"This"
< br>As Pei Wencong exchanged pleasantries with the other party, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and sad.
Because Lao Bu’s purpose of coming today is actually to ask for alms.
Pei Wencong refused because the other party revealed too little.
Of course, Pei Wencong’s decision is fine whether from a business perspective or from an analysis of current social trends.
Don’t do too many things like begging for alms under various pretexts and then squandering money privately.
Li Ye interrupted the conversation between the two parties and said with a smile: "I can't explain the technical things clearly, so let's talk about other things first!"
"."
Master Ni and Lao Bu both looked at Li Ye helplessly. It was not easy to talk to him in the first place, so you kid interjected, "Is there anything else to talk about?"
However, Li Yema continued: "In fact, based on my understanding of mainland research institutions, there is no shortage of talent and confidence, but some other conditions are really simple, such as the income of scientific researchers is too low, which cannot be solved Housing, etc."
"Mr. Pei, you can donate a few scientific research dormitories to improve the lives of scientific researchers!"
The eyes of Ni Dashen and Lao Bu changed. It's weird.
If this is alms, then you are robbing money, right?
But Li Ye knew that a few years later, the Beidou project was finally approved. Lao Bu went to Harbin Institute of Technology to recruit doctoral students, but one sentence made him extremely embarrassed.
“How much salary will be given? Can it provide housing?”
It doesn’t matter if the salary is not high, how can we live without housing? How to get married?
A hen needs a nest to lay eggs!
A project of this level like Beidou costs an astronomical amount of money, and most of it must be promoted by the state, but Li Ye can still afford to build a nest.
