Yang Liufang pressed the buttons a few more times and felt that the program was flowing continuously. He thought it was the same kind of karaoke video player used in the canteen of their supply and marketing cooperative, playing movies. Unexpectedly, when he randomly pressed a station, the first gear The advertisement attracted him. This was the advertisement that Hunan Cable Radio and Television Station, which is known as the country's first provincial cable TV, began to trial broadcast. Looking at the exquisite pictures and colorful exterior scenes, it is comparable to CCTV's "Zhengda Variety Show" that they can only watch on weekends.
Yang Liufang was attracted by the constant stream of TV programs on the hotel's color TV all morning. He squatted on the stool at the end of the bed wearing underwear and shirtless, and pressed the buttons on the TV several times until he felt dizzy before he came down to the bathroom to take a shower.
Maybe it's a professional characteristic, because the one he represents has sanitary ware, so Yang Liufang always takes a second look when staying in a hotel. He discovered that the bathroom in the Wolongshan Hotel was from a brand called TOTO that he had seen in Jiesheng's factory. The toilet, bathtub, showerhead, etc. were all of this brand. The product looked smooth and radiant, and felt silky and soft. Yang Liufang secretly praised: It is indeed a big brand. When he came out wrapped in a bath towel after washing and was about to change clothes, he realized that he couldn't find his clothes. Yang Liufang was embarrassed.
He went to the bedside and dialed the number at the front desk based on the accommodation information in a guest note book placed on the bedside table. Through the front desk, he learned that he drank too much last night and vomited into a mess. Director Wang arranged for his clothes to be sent to the laundry room. Soon the front desk arranged for a waiter to go to the room. Yang Liufang took over and changed into his pajamas with a blushing face, and took the elevator downstairs.
Amidst the melodious sound of the piano, Yang Liufang walked to the front desk and happened to see Mr. Wang from Wolongshan Hotel come in accompanied by several leaders. He motioned to the waiter to keep Yang Liufang. Yang Liufang was arranged by the waiter to sit in a nearby coffee shop. Here Yang Liufang found someone playing the piano. It turned out that the sound of the piano in the hall came from here, and it was played by a real person. Soon a waiter came over with a drink list and asked Yang Liufang to take his order. When Yang Liufang saw the names on it, he had never heard of cappuccino or American latte. He was even more dumbfounded when he saw the prices at the back. A cup of cappuccino costs 18, so does an American latte, and a German dark beer costs 38. Anyway, they all cost 8. At that time, the wages of workers in Yangliu Fang Factory, Shi Fang and Shi Yong's wages were relatively high, only more than 380 RMB, and they could only drink ten glasses of German dark beer here without eating or drinking.
Of course Yang Liufang could afford to drink it now, but he had never drunk it before, and he felt that it was not worth the few 8 bucks for a cup of coffee or drink. Just when he was at a loss, Director Li came over. He sat elegantly on the curved sofa seat opposite Yang Liufang. Without even looking at the order, he told the waiter: "Two cappuccinos."
"Okay sir." The waiter bowed and left.
"You're a bastard, this is five-star service. Although our hotel doesn't have stars, it's higher than those with stars."
"President Li, thank you for your advice. I really don't understand. To be honest, I don't know what I would do if you didn't come." Yang Liufang said honestly but awkwardly.
"Learn slowly." As he was talking, the waiter brought two cups of coffee. Yang Liufang saw a heart shape sprinkled with caramel-colored powder on the small coffee cup full of foam. He didn't know how to drink it, so he imitated Li. The director took a sip, the foam covered his upper lip, and smacked it.
"In addition to being slightly sweet, it also smells like swill."
"Pfft!" After hearing this, Director Li spit out the sip of coffee he had just taken. The waiter quickly came over and wiped him with a paper towel.
"Oh, you are said to be a country bumpkin, that's true."
"Really, Director Li, I think green tea tastes better and it's not so expensive."
"Oh, did you know? Nowadays, many high-end business occasions drink this. Learn to drink it, and don't make people feel like they have not seen the world."
"Director, when it comes to seeing the world, I really saw the world today, not just staying in a high-end hotel and drinking coffee, hahaha..." So Yang Liufang watched TV in the hotel and talked with his factory and workers. The situation of watching TV at home is different.
"Silly boy, don't tell me, my house also rotates the antenna. I don't know much about it. I heard that it is to meet the needs of receiving international and domestic high-end guests. Such high-end hotels and guesthouses have separate TV systems. But we can ask Ask a professional.”
"Director Wang?"
"Yes." As he said this, he called the waiter over, took out a small wallet from the inner pocket of his suit, took out a five-yuan note and handed it over, and the waiter took it respectfully.
"Miss, please help me go to the front desk and ask the waiter for help. Call the room of Director Wang of Xizhou TV Station and say that a gentleman named Li and a gentleman named Yang are waiting for him in the coffee shop."
"Okay, wait a moment sir."
About half an hour later, Director Wang came down in a suit and tie. He ordered coffee skillfully and sat down as elegantly as President Li.
"How are you? Did you have a good rest?" Yang Liufang felt that this place was as familiar as Director Wang's home.
"Thank you, Director. It's very good. The beds here are made by our factory."
"Yes, I heard about it. Lao Li, what's wrong? It's disturbing my dream."
"I'm fine, Xiao Yang, I need to ask you for advice."
"What's the matter? You're welcome, brother." At this time, the waiter came over with coffee. Wang Tai gave her a two-yuan note, and the waiter bowed and took it. Yang Liufang repeated to Director Wang many and clear things that he could not understand about the hotel TV station.
"What's wrong with this? Hotels are equipped with closed-circuit televisions. Nowadays, many high-end hotels, especially some of your high-end communities in the south, basically install closed-circuit televisions."
"Closed circuit? What is this?"
"As the name suggests, it circulates in a closed area, just like our tap water pipes. If you fill it with water and maintain a constant pressure, it is stable. The same is true for closed-circuit television. If the TV signal is transmitted through the equipment in a closed line, it is stable. .”
"Equipment? What equipment?"
"It is a video camera, DVD player, etc., which is equivalent to a small TV station. It records the programs of cable or satellite TV stations, or buys master tapes, and plays them online for people in the area."
"Network?"
"Oh, it's just pulling the strings. You don't do TV, so why do you know so clearly?"
"What should I do?"
"What to do?"
"Do CCTV."
"Wait a minute, let me think about it, closed-circuit television...well, yes, this is a trend, I think it is OK, you have the sales channel of the supply and marketing cooperative, yes, it is absolutely OK." He thought while thinking, Talk to yourself. He patted his thigh and continued: "Well, let's do it together! Our TV station will approve the procedures and issue various CCTV operation licenses. At the same time, let the technicians help you lay the lines, and you are responsible for selling the equipment."
"Well, thank you Wangtai. That's what I think. I'll sell the furniture for the equipment as well."
"Ah, that's great. Taken together, the furniture factory will have a few more products for sale."
"Yes, since you mentioned having that equipment, you will definitely need a desk, a case for the equipment, a swivel work chair, and filing cabinets."
"This man is better than a monkey when it comes to hair. No wonder you can make a fortune."
"That's President Li's favor. Wang Tai, please take good care of me in the future."
"We are all brothers and we take care of each other. I will go back and convene an office meeting to discuss it. We are not like you, and you can make decisions on everything. We are a unit directly under the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee. All matters big and small must be democratic. We will vote by a show of hands at the meeting. . But this is something that is beneficial to the people and can bring revenue to the TV station. There is a high probability that everyone will agree. I will call you if I have the result. "
"Well, let's hit the leather factory. The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative are also working there."
The three of them chatted a lot and had lunch together at Wolong Mountain before Yangliu left. Because the investigation results have not yet been announced, President Li can only continue to wait in the hotel for the ban to be lifted. Wolongshan Hotel often holds important provincial and municipal meetings, so Wang Tai is a frequent visitor here.
Yang Liufang called Zhang Feng to pick him up. On their way back to the tannery from Wolong Mountain, the two of them made a special trip to the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Yang Liufang asked Zhang Feng to park the car at the entrance of the store department, and the two got out of the car and walked around the hardware store. Merchants from other sales departments saw Yang Liufang's car and hurriedly came over to greet him. Since Yang Liufang dared to appear so brazenly, it at least meant that the matter was not serious or had been resolved. Yang Liufang shook hands with everyone and exchanged greetings. More and more people gathered together, like a hero welcoming a triumphant victory.
The canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative, which has had a constant flow of customers since its completion, was also affected by this incident. Other sales departments were worried about being implicated. In addition, the hardware store was closed and the internal roads were blocked. They did not dare or were unwilling to go far away to eat here. Now the canteen can only accommodate retail customers on the street every day. When the director and staff are not eating, they can only watch videos in the canteen out of boredom. There was a mess downstairs, and the staff wanted to watch the excitement after hearing it. Unexpectedly, it was his boss, so he rushed up to tell the director, and the fat canteen director hurried down to greet him.
"Oh, Boss Yang, you're back. I heard that Mr. Li was arrested. I wanted to go see him but I didn't recognize anyone. Let's talk to Director Li. He said he was also quarantined for review. Are you all okay?"
"It's all good, it's all good."
"Has the matter in the sales department been resolved? When can the lockdown be lifted?"
"It's solved. I also learned about the news in advance through my friends at the TV station. It is estimated that the lockdown will not be lifted until all investigations are completed."
"Oh, there is finally hope."
"Is the cafeteria phone still open?"
"It's connected, it's connected."
"Come on, let me make a call."
Under the guidance of the canteen director, Yang Liufang went up to make a phone call. He first called Yanhua at the leather factory and told her that the matter was basically resolved and asked her to call Director Li's mother-in-law not to worry her. He had already met Director Li in Wolong Mountain and was well-fed and well-clothed. But now that the results have not been announced, she is not completely free yet.
Yang Liufang called Director Gong, the former president of the headquarters, and gave a detailed report on the situation. Yang Liufang reported carefully and Director Gong listened attentively. It's just that he didn't say that he wanted to cooperate with the TV station to do business, because he was afraid that Mr. Gong would still be angry. He also called the industrial and trading company to find Director Yan to report the situation. When he called Wang Shan's office at the industrial and trading company, Wang Shan was looking for him anxiously.
