Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 180 Blooming Flowers in Shanghai
He Ping originally planned to inquire about egg packaging when he came to Shanghai this time. He wanted to come to egg trays, a paper pulp product that has no technological content. It should be easy to produce, but it may not be popular in the Northeast. I didn't expect such a thing to exist in the country.

However, in the east corner of Sang Yu's harvest, although the egg packaging matter has not been settled, it seems that the business of pens and copybooks has taken a turn for the better.

The reason why President Wang and Liang Yuejin were unable to promote pen copybooks in other places is nothing more than limited by geographical issues and closed information.

Meeting Qin Yongjun on the train this time can be regarded as solving a big problem for Dingtun Primary School. Although it seems that this matter is not beneficial to Liang Yuejin and the others, after all, Qin Yongjun and the others will not give Liang Yuejin a commission for helping to promote the copybook. But this matter needs to be viewed with a developmental perspective.

Fengcheng City is the capital of Liao Province. If Liang Yuejin and the others can open up this market with the help of Qin Yongjun, then the entire Liao Province market can be said to be at your fingertips. At that time, Liang Yuejin and the others will not need to worry about making money for at least a year or two .

After a day of contact, He Ping could see that Qin Yongjun was an open-minded and enterprising character. For this kind of people, it was a blessing to meet the reform and opening up, so that they could show their ambitions.

The only pity is that Qin Yongjun is over fifty years old, but considering that Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei in his forties, this age is not a big problem.

During the two days on the train, there was nothing to do except chatting. He Ping almost became brothers with Qin Yongjun when he got off the train.

The train slowly entered the platform, He Ping got off the train with his luggage, and Qin Yongjun joined his two subordinates.

"Uncle Qin, let's see you next time. I will bring someone to visit you when I return to Ping County."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the factory, call me in advance when the time comes, and I'll treat you well."

The two Wangnian friends, who were more than 20 years apart in age, shook hands and said goodbye on the train platform.

He Ping made an agreement with Qin Yongjun about the pen and copybook. After he came back from Shanghai, he would take President Wang and Liang Yuejin to Fengcheng Toppan Printing Factory to visit Qin Yongjun and discuss it in detail.

He Ping is not afraid that Qin Yongjun will be inspired by him and leave him to start the business of pen copybooks. Pen copybooks do not have any technical content. At the same time, due to the weak awareness of intellectual property rights in China in this era, if this happens, He Ping thinks It cannot be stopped.

On the one hand, He Ping made an appointment to go to Fengcheng Toppan Printing Factory to help expand the market for pen copybooks, and on the other hand, he also tried to use the method of commissioned production to kill possible piracy and follow suit in the cradle.

After parting with Qin Yongjun, He Ping carried his luggage and followed the flow of people to the exit of the train station.

When he walked to the exit, he kept looking around. He Ping called director Xie Jin before he came. Director Xie Jin said that he would send someone to pick him up.

After scanning for a long time, He Ping finally found a white sign held up high, with the words "Teacher He Ping, Ping County" written on it.

He Ping squeezed through the crowd and said hello, "Hi, I'm He Ping from Ping County."

The person who came to pick up He Ping was a middle-aged man with a clear appearance. He introduced himself: "Mr. He Ping, hello, I am Bi Likui, director of production of Director Xie Jin."

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, Bi Likui led He Ping out of the train station, and He Ping expected to board the prepared car.

Unexpectedly, Bi Likui took him to the bus station, and then... began to wait for the bus.

At this moment, He Ping misses the evil 21st century very much, and he never thought that the treatment in Shili Yangchang would not be much better.

Well, wait.

With a distinct Shanghai accent, Bi Likui chatted with He Ping while waiting for the bus, "Teacher He is really young and promising. He has written so many good articles at such a young age."

"You are welcome, don't call me a teacher, just call me He Ping."

Bi Likui seemed to be in his 40s instead of [-], so He Ping had the nerve to let him call him teacher all the time.

"Hey, those who are masters are teachers. When we are engaged in literature and art work, we must not have those outdated ideas, such as ranking seniority, that is all mediocre propaganda. In my business, the most important thing is talent, followed by hard work. Why? Teacher, your talent deserves such a title."

He Ping met many people from Shanghai in his two lifetimes, but Mr. Bi Likui was the first one who spoke so nicely.

That's right, Director Bi is now Teacher Bi, and a gentleman must repay virtue with kindness.

There is no difference between the buses in Shanghai and those in Heping County. If there is a difference, it is that He Ping cannot understand a word of the people on the bus except Bi Likui.

Shanghai people's obsession with the local dialect is similar to that of Cantonese people. It is more of an identity, which is different from the identity of other regions in China.

Later generations have a very interesting term called "New Shanghainese".What do you mean, where there is newness, there is oldness, and there is a gap and some hidden discrimination in between. He Pingke has never heard of new Xi'an people or new Hangzhou people.

He Ping was very curious about Shanghai at this time. The image of Shanghai in film and television and literary works was so profound that He Ping had no deep impression of Shanghai in reality. Later generations also visited Shanghai several times.

Speaking of Shanghai, what impressed him the most was the works of Jin Yucheng he had seen. "Flowers" was originally Jin Yucheng's intention to write about the deeds of anonymous people in the market, but he did not expect that the final product would be a work full of urban culture and regional characteristics.

This last novel about Shanghai that He Ping read in later generations also made He Ping's deepest impression of Shanghai.

While chatting with Bi Likui, He Ping glanced out of the window from time to time. Shanghai in the 80s was very attractive to He Ping. There is a narrative in "Flowers" that focuses on the 60s and 80s.

"Teacher He is very interested in us in Shanghai!" Bi Likui looked at He Ping's eyes constantly looking out of the window, and asked, with a faint sense of pride in his words.

"Yeah, after reading some books, I always have a desire to explore Shanghai."

"Then this time I'm here to see the streets and alleys of Shanghai. Our Shanghai has been the most prosperous place in the country since the end of the Qing Dynasty. After all these years, there are indeed some places worth seeing." Interest in learning has also increased a lot.

"You must take a look if you have time."

Looking at the scenery outside the window, He Ping couldn't help sighing a little, saying that time is gone forever, but the living city in front of him did not make He Ping feel strange, she still showed her delicacy and prosperity restlessly, just like the later generations.

His eyes stayed on the two beautiful figures in white suits outside the car window. After all, this is a big city, and this outfit is not inferior to that of later generations.
