Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

When Uncle Li heard the cell phone ringing, he was stunned for a moment. Can this little brick talk?

"It's turned on, it's turned on..." Zeng Wangcai ignored Uncle Li and the others and pressed a number on the keyboard. Yes, just a number. The first mobile phone didn't have an eleven-digit number.

"Hey, teacher...I'm Wangcai, can you hear me?"

"Can you hear it? The sound is very clear, right? Then I'll say it again, 'The sun sets over the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea...'"

"Okay, okay, it worked. You can keep this phone..."

It worked, the signal was good and the sound was clear.

"Liangzi, we succeeded, haha..."

"Finally succeeded, Wangcai, what would your old lady think if she knew about this?"

"Who cares..."

Uncle Li and his friends looked at Zeng Wangcai and Huang Liang as if they were fools. They didn't hear it with their own ears, so they naturally didn't know that a small brick could communicate.

In the evening, Uncle Li and his friends came again.

The entrance of the grocery store is much busier at night than during the day. Because of the presence of color TVs, this place has become a leisure and entertainment spot for local residents.

In fact, today's television programs are very monotonous. They only play some operas and occasionally insert news programs. The real seven o'clock news has not yet started.

But even this cannot stop people's enthusiasm for watching TV. There is too little entertainment these days.

But tonight, everyone's focus is not on TV.

"Old Li, why are you here just now?" When the first uncle saw Uncle Li and his friends coming, he immediately stood up from his seat and pulled Uncle Li to say to everyone, "We really saw Wangcai holding a small brick and making a phone call today. If you don't believe me, ask Old Li."

It turned out that this old man was also one of the old men who watched Zeng Wangcai making a phone call during the day.

Just now this old man told everyone this strange story as if he was presenting a treasure, but no one believed it.

"Don't look at me, I'm confused myself, wait a moment." Uncle Li walked into the store and said, "Xiao Song, come out for a moment and tell everyone about the phone call. I can't explain it clearly."

Song Yanyan has been working in the store for more than half a year. Facts have proved that if the improvement of service quality is not linked to income, it is just empty talk.

At this time, Song Yanyan had become one of the most popular people in Nanluoguxiang.

"Uncles and aunties, what are you talking about? The boss won't let me speak." Song Yanyan came out and said in a friendly manner, "The boss said that everything is still in the testing stage. We will talk about it after the test tomorrow..."

"Do you need to test the phone?" Uncle Li said with a smile, "Just tell everyone briefly, don't reveal any secrets, just tell them briefly."

Song Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "I'd better not say anything. You can come and see for yourselves tomorrow. There will be many leaders coming, as well as reporters from TV stations. Maybe we can even be on TV."

On TV?

Can you install a phone and appear on TV?

These days, watching TV is a rare thing, let alone appearing on TV.

Uncle Li and his friends have agreed to come early tomorrow morning to see how the first TV installed in Nanluoguxiang is put on TV. They came to the TV station last time when the yard was inspected, but they didn't see it in the end.

The next morning, the three-way intersection where the grocery store was located was full of people.

"Everyone, please make way, please make way..." Zeng Wangcai came out of the courtyard and was almost squeezed into a meat patty. There were actually people holding bowls, eating breakfast and watching the fun.

Who leaked the wind?

"Wangcai, it's such a big scene, it's so lively." Sha Zhu said happily at the gate of the courtyard.

The fact that he contracted the restaurant has not been made public yet, and the renovation has just begun. Since it is open for business, he discussed it with Yi Zhonghai, and believed that harmony brings wealth.

So recently, whenever they have nothing to do, whether it is Sha Zhu or Yi Zhonghai, they always run to the door of the grocery store and try to get close to the residents of Nanluoguxiang.

"It's just so-so..." Zeng Wangcai responded casually, looked at the time, and realized it would be too late if he didn't go out.

He shouted to Director Zhang outside, "Auntie, Auntie, please take people to clear the alley quickly, otherwise the cars will not be able to get in later."

Director Zhang also wanted to clear the way, but today not only the people in the Siheyuan, but also the entire Nanluoguxiang area, all came out of their houses.

Zeng Wangcai finally squeezed out and walked slowly towards the entrance of the alley. When he went out, there were already several black cars parked on the street outside the alley.

Please note that it is a black car. It is not produced by Wuling, but the HQ sedan produced by Shanghai. Most people are not qualified to ride in this kind of car now.

"Hello, leader, hello..." Zeng Wangcai hurriedly greeted the bigwigs who got off the car, even though he only recognized Liu Yong and the other two.

In addition to Liu Yong and Yang Yongan, those who came to watch the test this time included Wu Huafeng, who also brought Zhao Yilin and several other related departments.

At present, the personnel of the special team for Huayao's mobile phone production project have been basically determined, and those who come are all members of the team.

"It's so lively!" Liu Yong, who was temporarily serving as the team leader, got off the car and said in a friendly manner, "Everyone is very enthusiastic. It seems that everyone knows what happened today. Then we should stop being annoying and get off the car and take a few steps."

The bigwigs responded one after another.

Since cars couldn't come in, it was much more convenient to walk. The group walked to the grocery store amid the welcome of the common people.

Reporters from the TV station followed in, set up their equipment, and started filming, and the entrance of the grocery store became a testing site.

"Let's start!" Liu Yong suppressed his excitement.

In fact, the big guys were all very excited and wanted to witness this historical moment, so there was no nonsense.

Zeng Wangcai took out a lot of mobile phones and placed them one by one on the table in front of Liu Yong and other team members.

"I think everyone on the other side has known about it and has arranged for someone to go over there." Zeng Wangcai turned on his phone and introduced it, "Everyone will have one in a while, and you can talk to the person over there without any confusion. You can tell whether the conversation is true or not just by listening to the content."

The audience immediately remembered the sound of the mobile phone being turned on, and the advertising slogan of Huayao mobile phone became known to most people for the first time.

"Press this number and then press the green button, yes, this one... Press 3 on your phone, yes..." Zeng Wangcai taught everyone how to use the phone one by one.

After a while...

"Wow, I'm Liu Yong."

"Wow, Hu Ping, are you Hu Ping?"

"Wai, say the code... Cave demon..."

A group of seven or eight big guys, each holding a small mobile phone, talking to the person on the other end.

The residents of Nanluoguxiang who were watching all this from outside were all shocked. Is there really a phone that can be used to make calls just by holding it in your hand?

If you have one at home, can't you just put it in your pocket and take it with you?

Doesn't that mean you can make and receive calls anytime and anywhere?

A few minutes later, the test was completed and the bosses confirmed the effectiveness of the phone. They all said that the phone filled the gap in domestic communications and so on.

TV reporters recorded this exciting moment.

Liu Yong was very happy and started the last topic. He said to Zeng Wangcai in front of the camera: "Very good, this is very good. I have another question, how is the quality of this thing?"

what?

Are you questioning the quality of this?

Zeng Wangcai said nothing, picked up a mobile phone and stood on a table: "Huayao mobile phone, the fighter among mobile phones, everyone, take a look..."

Snapped!

Zeng Wangcai dropped his phone...
