Since 1983

It was after noon when Yu Jiajia arrived in Xidan.

She first glanced at the overpass, but found no one, then looked around the shopping mall, and finally found a large gathering point 200 meters to the east.

She beckoned the photographers to rush over, and heard the discussion inside from the outside:

Is eight yuan too little?

It must be more than ten yuan!

That's right, I've already taken seven yuan now, and there may be more today.

Let's make room, let's make room. I'm a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily. I want to...

Before Yu Jiajia could finish talking, another group of people squeezed in, Excuse me, we are reporters from China Youth Daily.

Um?

The two groups were startled, and then listened closely, Excuse me, I'm a reporter from the Beijing Evening News...

Good guy!

A small clothes stall caused three newspapers to choose topics. The face of the youth department is not friendly, why even the evening paper is here?

The evening paper belongs to the daily department, and is more inclined to the life of the masses. Moreover, the Beijing Evening News has a long history, and the masthead written by Mao Zedong himself has a huge circulation in the capital.

When the three families shouted, everyone was stunned, and then happily gave way to a passage.

The reporters are here, and they must be in the newspaper.

Hey, will you interview me? What should I say?

In an era when even televisions were rare, newspapers were well-deserved leaders of the media, and they were very sacred things in the eyes of ordinary people.

Yu Jiajia tried her best to rush to the front, but was stopped by some clothes shoppers, who would never let you remember it or not. All she saw was a young stall owner with a teenager, and a few sample T-shirts hanging on the shelf.

After looking at it for a while, she looked away and turned to the side.

On the left side of the stall, there are five large cardboards one person tall, four of which are densely written, and the other half is also written. She looked at them one by one, and there were those who wished and cheered, some who showed off poetry, some who made serious comments, and some who wrote numbers.

What do the three 6s mean?

Yu Jiajia was puzzled, and then looked to the right. There was also a piece of cardboard with 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 written on it, all the way to 25. 5 and 6 had been crossed out, and under the numbers were written The word positive one by one.

It happened that a middle-aged man bought a T-shirt, thought for a moment in front of the cardboard, added a sum under 18, and then returned to the booth.

The boy asked, How much did you guess?

Eighteen dollars.

Yo, you are quite confident.

That is, our China has risen!

The young man smiled, wrote 18 on a piece of paper, added the man's name, date, and the number of purchases, and said: Take it away. If you guess correctly, you can claim the prize. If you lose it, we don't care.

understand!

The middle-aged man carefully stuffed it into his pocket, and asked worriedly: Well, your prize...

I've said it several times! Listen up, everyone. If you put your words here, you will win a prize if you guess correctly. The value must not be less than a T-shirt!

That's good, that's good! The man smiled and left.

Finally got a vacancy, the three reporters hurried over, Hello, I want to interview!

Hello, I am……

Hello, I want to ask...

Chen Xiaoqiao was still very mature just now, and she showed her true colors in an instant, so she quickly asked the boss to take over.

Hello, I'm the stall owner.

Xu Fei came over and said with a smile, My surname is Xu, so I can't disclose my name. I'm an outsider. I'm working in the capital, so I can't disclose my work. I just happen to have some free time, so I want to start a small business.

Hey, this unfolding is wrong!

The three reporters looked at each other, why is this buddy so skilled, as if he often accepts interviews.

Yu Jiajia reacted first, and asked first: Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​selling cultural shirts? Did you come up with the concept of cultural shirts yourself?

In fact, this is called a T-shirt, which is very common in the south, and more and more in the north now. I thought it would be interesting to print some patterned text on the clothes. Later, I had a whim and connected it with the Olympics.

Because I am a sports fan myself, I also know some things. Our country has participated in the Olympic Games several times in history, but at that time, internal and external troubles, weak national strength, did not achieve good results, and even did not qualify for the competition for a time.

I think competitive sports can reflect the strength of a country to a certain extent. Frankly speaking, what is competitive sports about? It's skill and fitness. Only when the national strength is strong, can the common people talk about physical fitness, and the country has this kind of mind to train athletes.

For example, now that the motherland is on the rise, I will participate in the Olympic Games again after many years. I have this feeling myself, and I will definitely shine.

As for why it is called a cultural shirt? It's very simple. In fact, it can be called Olympic craze. Just like the current poetry craze, overseas craze, and qigong craze, they all reflect a cultural phenomenon in today's society, so I call it cultural shirts.

Is that how confident you are in your feelings?

Yu Jiajia is very strange, the other party is like a gambler, betting that the Olympics will set off an upsurge.

I don't have confidence in myself, I have confidence in my motherland and those Olympic athletes! Xu Fei sublimated again.

well said!

The crowd of onlookers gave them face and applauded loudly.

But after all, this is a commercial behavior. Is it possible to make a fortune by tying business with the Olympics? a reporter from the Beijing Evening News asked.

Whoa!

This guy is very sharp ah?

Xu Fei thought for a while and said: First of all, we have to reach a consensus that commercial behavior is not bad behavior or illegal behavior. Now the state encourages farmers to contract, encourages to do business in cities, and encourages self-employed and handicraftsmen, which shows that we are getting more and more Recognize the enormous role that economic operations play in social change.

What I made is just the first person to eat crabs. In a few years, the streets may be full of t-shirts, and no one thinks it strange.

Although I am a clothes seller, I am also sincerely cheering for the Olympics and doing publicity for the Olympics. I neither buy or sell by force, nor shoddy, and even if you write a sentence, I have a discount.

And to be honest, if I pay so much, I have to make some money, right?

So the key is how to operate. The scale is very important. You can't lose everything in order to get rich and lose the bottom line of being a human being. Within the scope of morality and law, I think everyone can accept some fresh attempts.

...

This development was even beyond the expectations of the three families. The talk was eloquent and well-founded. Who is this buddy?

And you see, here is the message board, and there is the gold medal quiz.

Xu Fei led a few people to visit, and introduced: Let everyone compete, how many gold medals can the Chinese team win in this Olympic Games. If you guessed right, come back with the note just now to receive the award.

How much will you give if you guess correctly? Yu Jiajia asked.

That's right, there just happened to be a reporter friend testifying today, and I will never break my promise!

Wow!

The onlookers applauded again.

Can you still play like this? Even though the reporter was well-informed, he couldn't help being amazed at this moment. Immediately, the three families went to interview passers-by again:

I came here a few days ago. It was on the overpass at first. Later, there were too many people and it was too crowded, so I moved here.

Our family of three bought them all. It's expensive, but it happens once in a hundred years. The zero breakthrough is so commemorative.

What? The next session? There will be zero breakthroughs in the next session!

After the interview, they wanted to take pictures again, but Xu Fei declined.

Just kidding, I asked for leave from the film crew, if those gangsters see that you don't train well and come here to speculate, then it's time to quit.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the three families all felt that the trip was worthwhile, as there were too many materials.

Before leaving, Yu Jiajia and the two colleagues looked at each other. They chose the same topic and interviewed at the same time. There was no exclusive revelation, so it depends on the angle and depth.

This is called a front bar.

(and in the evening...)
