Chapter 618 A big gift

After delivering the "blessing rice", Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian were going back to Qingshui County. After all, they both had jobs, and a week's vacation was long enough.

Wen Qingsheng, who happened to be on a business trip, also returned to the capital and made an appointment with Li Kaijian for a drink. He also told Li Kaijian the date of Wen Guohua's wedding and invited Li Kaijian to attend the wedding.

Li Kaijian attached great importance to it, and before leaving, he told Li Ye: "Do you know Xiaoyu's brother? What kind of gift do you think we should give? I can prepare it when I go back."

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this. I gave Xiaoyu's sister-in-law a big gift. They will definitely be satisfied."

"A big gift?" Li Kaijian was stunned and asked, "What big gift did you give?"

Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "A great gift to show off in front of the big boss. Pei Wencong came from Hong Kong Island this time because of this matter."

"."

. . . . . . .

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the second day after Li Kaijian left, Li Ye and Pei Wencong came to a post and telecommunications bureau affiliated to the Beijing Post and Telecommunications System at the invitation of Pan Xiaoying.

What was originally an ordinary post office was now closed, and no one without an invitation was allowed to enter.

Pei Wencong and Li Ye were led into the conference room and felt dazed as soon as they entered.

The spacious conference room was modified. More than a dozen communication devices were neatly placed in the front. Dozens of telecommunications workers stood there with their hands hanging down, like soldiers waiting for inspection.

After Pei Wencong was settled, he whispered to Li Ye: "This makes me a little nervous. I thought it wouldn't be such a grand event this time."

Li Ye whispered: "This is a historic moment. As someone who has made a contribution, you should feel honored at this moment."

Pei Wencong quickly said: "No, no, no, I just did something insignificant."

It turned out that after Li Ye suggested to Pan Xiaoying that they use the method of "overseas detour" to connect telecommunications between the mainland and the other side of the strait, Pan Xiaoying submitted a corresponding plan application to the higher authorities, which was eventually approved quickly.

Then there is the technical preparation. Factory 506 has a joint venture with Pengcheng Fengyu Company, and Pei Wencong has shares in Pengcheng Fengyu, so it is natural that he needs to contribute.
Therefore, Pei Wencong made a series of preparations before the connection through the channels of Hong Kong Island and bypassed overseas. Whether it will succeed or not depends on today.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, some bigwigs arrived at the scene, including not only those from the postal and telecommunications system, but also those from the United Front system. It was quite a scene.

Of course, there are also reporters who report to whom.

As the on-site commentator and the "team leader" responsible for technical operations, Pan Xiaoying was of course the most eye-catching person on the scene.

"Reporting to XX, everything is ready. Please give instructions on whether to start."

"It's time to start!"

The opening ceremony with mainland characteristics seemed a bit "formalistic" in the eyes of Li Ye, who came from the later generations. But it is undeniable that after this set of questions and answers, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

Especially after dozens of telecommunications personnel reported one by one that "XX Bureau is ready, everything is normal" and "XX Group is normal", Li Ye seemed to smell a little bit of solemnity in this conference room.

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye with a serious expression, wanting to say something, but did not speak due to the atmosphere at the scene.

Li Ye nodded slightly at him, indicating that he felt the same way.

If you are in a developed country overseas today, if you want to dial a phone on the other side of the strait, it may just be a matter of pressing a few numbers. However, the mainland has just started to upgrade its program control, and it is unknown at which stage the problems will occur.

In order to ensure this "simple" call, I wonder how many relevant technical personnel are guarding the lines thousands of miles apart at this moment.

This is also the reason why Pei Wencong is solemn.

The mainland was indeed backward in the 1980s, but if they wanted to do something, the number of people they could mobilize could easily reach thousands or even tens of thousands, which was unimaginable for people in small places.

After the technical department confirmed that there was no problem, Pan Xiaoying took out a list of phone numbers, handed it to the most powerful person on the scene, and asked him to choose one.

Those phone numbers were all of the "reliable Taiwanese compatriots" that Pei Wencong had studied in advance with Pan Xiaoying's team, such as Mr. Gu Long's disciples, Mr. Wen Ruian's friends, and so on.

But the boss looked at those numbers and asked in a deep voice: "Have you contacted these people in advance? What are their situations?"

"."

Many people in the postal and telecommunications system were stunned and did not understand what the boss meant.

There is a custom in the mainland that before the so-called "first time", there will generally be a "trial run" to ensure that there will be no rollover when the big guys arrive.

For example, when a certain production line is officially put into operation, there are such operations, but now the boss asks this question, how should you answer? Does the other party hate this deliberate arrangement?
Pan Xiaoying suddenly had an idea and remembered the idea that Li Ye mentioned.

So she carefully suggested to the boss: "If you feel that these numbers are not suitable, then you can call a random number. In that way, you can get a more realistic understanding of the real attitude of the grassroots people over there towards us."

"Dialing a random number?"

The boss pondered for two seconds, smiled and nodded, then changed a few digits according to the phone number on the phone list and reported a number.

Pan Xiaoying immediately asked her team members to try to make the call.

Everyone around was sweating because no one knew if they could get through to this number, and even after getting through, they didn't know if the person on the other end had good intentions towards the mainland.

"Du~du~du"

The phone actually rang. The number that the boss had temporarily created was not an empty number.

Everyone's heart is full of anticipation, hoping that there is someone at the other home and that they will not ignore the call.

This is also the reason why six o'clock in the afternoon was chosen, as six o'clock is the time for dinner.

"Hello? Who is it?"

An old voice was transmitted through electricity to the conference room in the capital, and also reached the ears of everyone present.

Li Ye saw Pan Xiaoying clenching her fists, obviously very excited.

At this point, her plan has been 90% successful, and whether it can be completed successfully is just around the corner.

"Hello? Hello? Who is it?"

Pan Xiaoying glanced at the boss, and he nodded, letting her speak.

Pan Xiaoying took a breath and asked softly, "Excuse me, is this Taibei?"

"."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. I didn't know if it was because of Pan Xiaoying's tone or her standard Mandarin.

After a few seconds, the person on the other end of the phone spoke again: "Where is this?"

Pan Xiaoying said word by word: "I am in Beijing."

"Danglanglang~"

There was a sound of something falling over the phone, and it was obvious that the old man on the other end was in a state of mood swings.

Just when everyone thought that there would be chaos on the other side for a while, an urgent voice came from the other side.

"Can you guys do me a favor? Hello? Are you still there?"

Pan Xiaoying immediately turned around and looked at the boss, and the boss immediately nodded.

"How can I help you?"

"Help me. Go check if my mother is still alive."

"."

In the conference room with hundreds of people, there was complete silence.

Everyone heard suppressed pleading and anxious waiting in the old man's crying words.

The boss spoke up: "Promise him that as long as he has the address, I will help him find the person."

Pan Xiaoying said quickly: "Excuse me, what is your mother's address? Please speak slowly so that I can ask someone from Hunan Province to talk to you, because I can't hear the address you said clearly."

The scene immediately became lively, and many people's hearts were concerned about the old man on the other end of the phone.

Everyone knows that people can be found, but it is not certain whether they are still alive.
