My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 96 This spy is really a spy
Weidong finally realized the benefits of having help.

Erfeng was held by Dong Xueying the whole time while she looked at the new car and the pig offal in the cargo compartment, so she couldn't come over to attack closely.

It can be seen that they are very familiar with each other, standing side by side outside, chatting and laughing.

Wei Dong was naturally squeezed out of the most central seat for watching the color TV. Only then did he realize that every day people would go to his house and Erfeng's house to carry the TV over to watch.

The viewing activity was organized by Erfeng, under the pretext of watching the ZY spirit, so cadres from the surrounding villages and towns would also come to watch the news every day.

Since there was no differential transmitter in the entire Shangzhou city, the signal was received entirely by the fishbone antenna that came with the differential transmitter.

Even though we can only watch one channel at this time, it mainly broadcasts special meetings and news reports, as well as children's education programs and cultural programs. It still attracts a large number of villagers. They start watching at 7 o'clock every day and squeeze in to watch until after 9 o'clock, and then go back.

This move clearly put an end to the issue of some commune and brigade cadres who wanted to question whether letting Weidong or Erfeng collect and sell bacon was speculation before the Spring Festival.

Because the TV talks about reform and opening up every day.

I even saw on TV that the commune brigades were going to be abolished!

Invisibly, it suddenly brought the farmers of Baifeng Mountain closer to the highest level of thinking.

But in the past two months, a TV series has been broadcast every day at 8:30, and it has definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.

Such as "The Man from Atlantis" and "Blood Ties".

People from the surrounding area who were more than ten or twenty miles away traveled across mountains and rivers to watch the TV series!

Not a single episode was missed.

Wei Dong also patiently watched an episode of "Huo Yuanjia" with everyone else, which was said to have just started airing yesterday.

The two brothers, Shitou Maoer, who practiced martial arts every day, squatted in front of Weidong. They must have been shocked that there was such a way to practice martial arts?!

The good-for-nothing from a martial arts family who had never been looked at seriously by his family suddenly displayed his prowess on the day of the competition and defeated his enemies with a mysterious fist that fell from the sky. This was a thrilling scene.

The hundreds of farmers on the basketball court naturally exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Dong could only say wow, isn't this just the same pretentious routine used in those short video dramas?

After forty years, it’s still the same?
Of course, he wasn't watching a TV series, and he almost subconsciously noticed that there were no commercials in this TV series?!
Such a huge hit, a milestone TV series that later left a deep impression on the minds of those born in the 1970s and 1980s in China, but there were no interstitial advertisements before and after the broadcast?

Even now, the picture quality of the brick TV is still very outdated, like a slide show, and there are mottled interference patterns when playing TV series.

Between each program, there is a handwritten program title preview.

But how can there be no TV drama ads?

This is so unreasonable.

Before, Weidong only watched the news, and he did notice that there were several very crude advertisements before and after the news broadcast, all of which were at the level of handwritten slides.

That's why he was so sure that the Yanwu tape recorder would be a global success, not because the product was so amazing, but because the advertising format was so novel.

So I no longer paid much attention to these uncompetitive opponents.

But at this moment, the TV series "Huo Yuanjia" reminded him that there is a difference in the advertising broadcast time.

Is it better to broadcast it before the news or before the TV series starts?
At least these two are better than being in front of some "Preschool Broadcast" program.

No, if they were selling tape recorders, maybe they would really have to be broadcast before this famous 6:30 children's program!
Weidong has absolutely no knowledge or experience in advertising and media.

However, influenced by the era in later generations where one is forced to watch advertisements even when watching a short video, one’s own advertisements must be placed before such popular dramas to be effective!

Thinking of this, I quickly took out the notebook in my pocket and wrote it down.

It is definitely too late to watch "Huo Yuanjia". I don't know what will be the next hit drama after this one is over. The next hit drama will probably be "Chen Zhen" or "Shanghai Beach". That one will definitely attract crowds of people.

If you happen to be recommending a Chinese tape recorder, camera or pickled snacks during a plot like the one in "Chen Zhen" where the Jipjul warriors are beating up the Japanese, would it have a miraculous effect?
Oh shit, this requires sufficient product supply, or setting up a sales network in advance.

But how much does it cost to stock up on goods in advance, and how many provinces’ college students do we need to contact to set up a sales network in advance?
Time must be very tight.

I vaguely remember that "The Legend of Chen Zhen" came out soon after "Huo Yuanjia", but by the third part, "Huo Yuanjia's Son", the craze had passed.

Wei Dong suddenly felt that time was running out. While he was thinking about this matter in his mind, Jin Zhuoqun, who had been in Pingjing for a month or so, happened to be looking for him.

I called Yu Songhai, Rongdu Office, and Hongguang Factory Sales Department and left messages. Things are looking up, so please contact them as soon as possible.

Yu Songhai understood Rang Weidong's attitude very well, and directly told Jin Zhuoqun to try his best to get it done according to his way. However, if a large investment was required, Rang Weidong would most likely not give it. However, he could report to Sunshine Daily and contact the head office to assist in the progress of leading the inscription.

With only a salary of 100,000 yuan, Rang Weidong would rather invest the money in building a food factory than spend it on getting connections for writing inscriptions.

Yu Songhai was very certain of this. Only those with insight would understand the scope and vision behind Weidong's decision to invest 300,000 yuan in Panda.

Jin Zhuoqun's excited phone call was somewhat dampened by the response.

Then I called the Rongdu office. Secretary Zhang answered the phone in a completely different way from reporter Yu. "Okay, I received your message. Please leave your contact information. I will contact you after I report to Comrade Weidong."

As for Jin Zhuoqun's request for money, Zhang Lanzhi remained calm and said, "Comrade Weidong has always actively carried forward the spirit of hard work and simplicity, and has the courage to challenge the difficulty of his work. He also believes that you can complete the task successfully..."

Just paste those slogans of state-owned units on them by the pound.

At that time in Guozhou, Jin Zhuoqun gave Weidong a starting amount of 10,000 yuan. Wasn't she sitting next to him happily eating meat and listening to him?

Even the eloquent Jin Zhuoqun was speechless, because he knew it was useless to talk nonsense with such a stubborn person.

I decided that I must find an opportunity to replace this stubborn secretary in the future!
But he hung up the phone and went to the post office to make a long-distance call to the Hongguang Factory store.

The year 84 was a huge watershed. Due to the surge in business activities, the number of long-distance calls increased, and the few calls that were previously available could basically only be connected to the local manual telephone network.

To make a long-distance call, you have to go to the post office.

It has seriously restricted the commercial development of major provincial capital cities.

Therefore, it was from this time that various places began to introduce expensive automatic program-controlled telephone systems, which allowed people to actually pick up the phone and dial a number instead of having to rely on a human operator to connect someone.

Zhang Lanzhi called the number Weidong had left behind, and went to the Jiangzhou branch of the Jiangzhou police station. "Please help me connect to the Jiangzhou number. This is..."

As a result, since almost everyone was transferred to Haochi Street to support the Malatang business, there were only two girls supporting the small stall in front of the factory gate, plus the yandere girl who was responsible for answering the phone.

Zhang Lanzhi, who had previously reported on the status of her cameras in Rongdu three times, surprisingly didn't use her usual fluent Mandarin, but instead spoke with a standard Sichuan accent: "I'm Dong Xueqing. Cameras are selling really well in Rongdu. What district is your address in when I came last time? A colleague wants to go there."

In reality, Feng Chu was never willing to make long-distance calls, but the country girl who answered the phone had no idea how dangerous a call could be, so she quickly reported her location: "Jiangnan District, the second intersection between the Cotton Mill and the Gear Factory. Actually, take the ferry across the river to Huangyanshi and follow the main road."

Zhang Lanzhi calmly agreed, hung up the phone, went back to lock the office door, put on her military uniform, carried the black shoulder bag under her arm, and set off by train to Jiangzhou.

Weidong was right to describe her as a female spy.

It’s May Day, who doesn’t want to have a day off?

But now it's only one day off, and there's no trick of adjusting the holiday by relying on weekends. Children like Fengchu who study away from home don't have the habit of taking the opportunity to go home.

In fact, Xishan Factory, which is dozens of kilometers away from Jiangzhou city, still belongs to Shuchuan even in the era of the municipality. It is the mountainous area closest to Jiangzhou on the provincial edge.

Therefore, the train journey from Chengdu to Jiangzhou is quite long, taking twelve hours overnight. In an era when the journey from Jiangzhou to Pingjingdu took forty-three hours, it is easy to imagine how winding and difficult it was to speed up this section of provincial railway in the Shuchuan Basin.

Anyway, according to Rang Weidong's memory, the national high-speed rail has been talked about for a long time, and Shangzhou is only barely connected.

This also explains why all the pigs in Sichuan could only be driven to the Three Gorges Estuary for slaughter if the railway troops had not worked so hard to build the Sichuan-Sichuan Railway after liberation.

The Yangtze River was almost the only large-scale import and export channel. It was not until the railway was opened that Shangzhou lost its sole status and gradually declined, including the foreign trade business surrounding live pigs.

Because of this incident, Wei Dong returned to Jiangzhou within two days.

Because the smoked offal made by Li Erfeng and others is not tasty either.

It is definitely a good idea to let Weidong take young children from each household and send them to work in the city.

Every week, some people travel back and forth from Shangzhou to the village, and occasionally some people write letters back to their hometown from Jiangzhou, and they are sure to praise the Rang family.

I have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and I can see the world and earn a few dozen yuan a month.

This is an income that farmers could never even imagine.

So if Weidong comes back to look for more people, there will definitely be people from all three towns and five villages looking for them.

As for when he brought a large basket of pig offal to test the taste of smoked bacon, the whole village gathered around to offer advice and help.

It's difficult. There must be a reason why the practice of smoking and curing offal has not been developed here for thousands of years.

If Weidong hadn't known that some people had become multi-millionaires because of this, he would have definitely given up after testing it once.

The heart, liver, kidney, and tongue have different densities and strong odors. The small intestine is exported to make sausage casings, while the large intestine, bladder, and pig stomach are traditionally used locally to pack air-dried bacon.

But no matter how hard I try, it's hard to make anything delicious.

After two days of smoking and curing, Weidong finally had to give up the idea of ​​smoking and curing.

After earnest persuasion from the two little brats, Shitou and Maoer, he went back to Jiangzhou to find Third Sister Shen to find a solution.
