Chapter 882 Walkman
Chapter 882 Walkman
Just a few days after the meeting ended, on March 3, Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose left Hong Kong and arrived in Guangzhou.
On the 28th, Murray MacLehose and his party arrived in Sijiu City. That same evening, Chen Changan received a notice that he needed to be present at the meeting the next day.
At ten o'clock in the morning on the 29th, Chen Changan sat at the negotiation table with several leaders.
After a few brief greetings, MacLehose stated the real purpose of his visit.
“Hong Kong Island’s prosperity and stability are inseparable from the management of the British Empire.
As the lease term draws to a close, Hong Kong Island investors are becoming anxious about the lease term of land in the New Territories, which is greatly detrimental to the development of Hong Kong Island.
If you want to relieve this anxiety, you must eliminate this specific deadline.
So I hope to remove the validity period line in the original contract.
It was changed to "the deed shall remain in force as long as the New Territories remain under the jurisdiction of the British Empire."
Chen Changan laughed angrily.
This really does not regard mainland China as human beings. What kind of excuses are these?
I'm afraid even children can understand the British people's little thoughts.
Why do investors worry about dates when they remove the expiration date?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just wanting to take advantage of Hong Kong for free and never give it back? It's really a daydream.
The faces of the accompanying personnel on the scene, including the translator, changed. No one would look good if they were to use such an excuse.
But Mr. Deng, who was sitting in the main seat, kept smiling and even had the mind to light a cigarette.
“We have always believed that the sovereignty of Hong Kong Island belongs to our country.
Hong Kong Island itself is a part of our country, and this issue itself cannot be discussed.
But one thing is certain: even in 1997, when we resolve this issue, we will respect the special status of Hong Kong Island.
That is, in this century and for a considerable period of time in the next century, Hong Kong Island can still pursue its capitalism, and we will continue to pursue our socialism.
Even if the political status of Hong Kong Island changed in 1997, it would not affect their investment interests.
It is nothing more than one of taking back and one of maintaining the status quo, neither of which will affect the interests of investors. "
Although the speech was not fast, it was powerful.
Murray MacLehose wanted to say something else but was interrupted.
“Regarding the issue of Hong Kong Island, I have made it very clear before.
If the next issue is still about Hong Kong Island, I think we don’t need to talk anymore.”
Then, with a dejected look on his face, MacLehose hastily ended the conversation.
Obviously he failed to complete the task, but for this matter, it would be the same no matter who was in charge.
After Murray MacLehose left, Chen Changan thought everything was fine and just stood up and was about to turn around and leave.
"Changan, I know everything you said at the meeting yesterday.
Your idea on this matter is very good. It coincides with my idea and is even more comprehensive than what I have considered.
I think it is necessary to let the whole country know what you said.
Let the people of the country know that we have the ability and confidence to take over Hong Kong Island."
Chen Changan got into the car with a dizzy head, mainly because he was praised by his leader.
"Director, shall we go back to the factory?"
"Back."
Just as Chen Changan returned to the automobile factory and had just made tea, Engineer Huang rushed into Chen Changan's office.
If Mr. Huang's behavior happened in another unit and he met a narrow-minded leader, he would probably be fired immediately.
But Chen Changan treated Mr. Huang as a treasure.
When the automobile factory was just starting to develop, Shi Heping spent day and night in the workshop.
The continuous imitation of engines led to the development of automobile factories.
Due to health reasons, Shi Heping is basically in a semi-retired state now.
What Wang Xin didn't expect was that after Shi Heping left, another worker named Huang came.
At first, Chen Changan just wanted Uncle Nie to find him someone with good skills and good character in the field of television to help him.
Unexpectedly, the person that Uncle Nie found not only has excellent skills and good character, but also has the same working attitude as Shi Heping.
My desire for new knowledge and new technologies is higher than anyone else's.
This is what Mr. Huang often says.
“The car factory provided me with such good conditions, not only good food, but also housing.
I can study what I like in the car factory and get a steady stream of foreign information.
This is my dream job. What else can I be dissatisfied with? How can I not repay the car factory for its appreciation of me? "
Today, home appliances such as color televisions, rice cookers, and induction cookers produced by automobile factories have accounted for half of the automobile factories' exports.
All of this is the result of Mr. Huang constantly improving the production line and technology.
Chen Changan would definitely treat such a talent as a treasure. He would rather suffer himself than let Mr. Huang suffer any injustice.
"Director Chen, do you know that I have developed a qualified magnetic head based on the formula you provided?"
Chen Changan stood up at once.
"Really?"
"It's true."
Chen Changan believed what Mr. Huang said. Since he said they had researched it, then they must have researched it.
"Doesn't that mean our own Walkman will soon be released?"
"Yes."
Both Mr. Huang and Chen Changan were very excited.
You have to know that it will take another half a year for Xiao Ri Zi to start releasing Walkman. Now the car manufacturers have the opportunity to launch the product on par with Xiao Ri Zi or even earlier.
In this way, the car manufacturer's revenue may be doubled just by selling Walkmans.
During this period, Mr. Huang was not only busy with the research of magnetic heads, but also went to the library of the automobile factory to look through this kind of literature whenever he had time.
The Fok family in Hong Kong Island would send new information, documents, and various magazines to the automobile factory every month.
Mr. Huang is no longer the Mr. Huang who only knew how to work hard but knew nothing about the international market.
Mr. Huang knew exactly what kind of income the Walkman would bring to the automobile factory and the country.
Just as the two of them were holding hands with excitement on their faces.
Li Chenglin strolled to the door of Chen Changan's office.
Seeing the excitement of Chen Changan and Engineer Huang, Li Chenglin knew that there might be new products in the factory.
So Li Chenglin came over with a curious look on his face.
"Director, what interesting thing have we come up with?"
Chen Changan calmed down and said to Li Chenglin.
"You know about tape recorders and cassettes, right?"
"I know it very well. I have it at home. I listen to Master Hou's music, songs, and Peking opera when I have nothing to do.
Whenever there was no TV, I would listen to tapes, and my favorite was "Jasmine Flower".
What a beautiful jasmine flower..."
"Stop, stop, stop, your hoarse voice is not suitable for singing this.
If I say that our automobile factory can produce a tape recorder that can be put in your pocket, would you believe it? "
Li Chenglin tilted his head and looked at Chen Changan as if he was a fool.
"Put that thing in your trouser pocket? I don't believe it. Even if you can put it in your trouser pocket, can it still make any sound?"
Mr. Huang on the side spoke up.
"Don't you know there is a thing called headphones?"
