The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 649 The Impact Spreads! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In 1971, Beijing was not much different from the past.

The city did not expand, and people's lives continued as before.

The Gulou Repair Shop had by then been renamed the Gulou Machinery Factory.

Their development speed in recent years has been quite fast, making them one of the most outstanding factories in Beijing's industrial system.

The subsidiary bicycle and motorcycle factories are key factories that steadily earn foreign exchange.

Every year, these two factories launch new product lines, which are sold to Europe and America through Fok Tai-heng in Hong Kong Island, and the business has basically stabilized.

Without a doubt, the new products launched by the two branch factories are all designs left behind by Wu Aiguo.

Putting everything else aside, if this model continues to operate smoothly until the mid-1980s, there won't be any problems at all.

And so it was; Gulou Factory was doing quite well.

Wu Zhi got up early to wash and clean himself. While his wife Zhang Li was getting ready for personal hygiene, he was already getting ready to leave for work.

"Old Wu, what do you think of what I told you yesterday?"

Zhang Li hurriedly chased after her and asked in a low voice.

"Just ask Aijun what he thinks, I have no objection!"

Wu Zhi said irritably, "Also, if you really want to do this, you must make it clear beforehand that Ai Jun won't be able to return to the city anytime soon!"

"Why can't we get back to the city?"

Zhang Li said with dissatisfaction, "As long as you take action, isn't it an easy matter to bring Ai Jun back?"

"Have you thought about how you feel about loving the Party and loving the red?"

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said, "In short, this is my attitude. Do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he went straight to work.

Zhang Li stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

This time, she accepted her family's advice and wanted to bring her niece and youngest son together.

After all, his youngest son, Aijun, is already twenty-one this year.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Zhi, the father, wasn't very interested in this matter and didn't even want to mention it.

The key point is that he knows what his wife is thinking; there's no way she could agree to it.

She wanted to use the excuse of getting married to transfer her youngest son back from the farm outside the city.

If it had been a few months ago, he might have actually agreed.

But now...

"Good morning, Director Wu!" "Director Wu is having breakfast!" "Director Wu looks great today!" "..."

As I arrived at the cafeteria, I was greeted warmly by everyone.

Well, they were overly enthusiastic, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, it certainly wouldn't have come to this.

The era of the workers is no joke.

The regular workers in the factory, unless they need something from the factory manager, can completely ignore him. If they are wronged, they can even go to the factory manager's office and bang on the table.

While Wu Zhi, the factory director, deserves respect, he doesn't warrant the workers' fawning. He doesn't have that kind of prestige, nor is there any need for it.

Everyone knew what was going on, but no one said it out loud.

With no other option, Wu Zhi grabbed his breakfast and ran to the office building.

Little did he know, a whole host of factory leaders, including the Party Secretary who had already taken control of the factory, were waiting for him there.

"Old Wu, why were you running so fast yesterday?"

The deputy factory director in charge of production spoke first: "What, you suddenly saw patriotism in a movie and you got so excited?"

"What are you saying!" Wu Zhi chuckled. "It's been so long since I've seen Aiguo. What's wrong with getting a little excited?"

"Wow, I never expected that Aiguo would achieve such great things without making a sound, and become such a big shot!"

Another deputy factory director, who had been with the factory since its inception, exclaimed, "I was quite shocked when I saw it in the movie theater yesterday!"

"Who says otherwise? I was startled too!"

"Who would have thought that in just a few years, Aiguo would have built such a large business empire in Myanmar!"

"That's truly remarkable. According to that documentary, the area controlled by Patriots covers more than 200,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a province in China, right?"

"More than that, if it were placed in the core area of ​​the south, it would be comparable to two provinces, which is quite impressive!"

"Old Wu, hasn't your Aiguo family contacted you?"

"It's just normal correspondence!"

Wu Zhi said embarrassedly, "This kid has a lot of ideas, he never talks to me about these things!"

The factory leaders present believed this.

"Now, if you're asked to contact Aiguo, won't you feel pressured?"

A factory leader with whom he had a close relationship couldn't help but joke, "Who knows, patriotism might just become the ultimate value in Myanmar someday!"

"What kind of pressure could there be between a father and son?"

Wu Zhi said irritably, "Don't take this too seriously. Unless he becomes a powerful figure and gains the approval of higher-ups, it's unlikely to affect me!"

"Otherwise, it's just about watching the excitement and hearing something interesting!"

"Old Wu, since you are selfless, you can naturally think that way!"

At this moment, the secretary couldn't help but speak up: "But others might not think the same way!"

He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Fortunately, since becoming the Party Secretary of Gulou Factory, he has maintained a decent relationship with Wu Zhi, the factory director, and there haven't been many unpleasant incidents.

Mainly, Takeshi is a rather honest and pragmatic person.

They focused all their energy on production and quality control, which at most meant they were a bit stricter with factory discipline, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Who would have thought that Wu Zhi's eldest son, such an honest man, would quietly establish such a large business empire in Myanmar?

The secretary's mind raced, and he had already figured out how to leverage this opportunity to perhaps advance even further.

Therefore, necessary reminders are still necessary. He said, "Didn't the documentary say that hundreds of thousands of educated youth joined?"

"There might be some arrogant and haughty kids from the high-ranking families among them!"

"You'd better warn them to be careful, these guys might cause trouble!"

Actually, he meant to say "seize power," but he changed his mind in the end to avoid giving others grounds for criticism.

"The secretary's reminder is correct!"

The other factory leaders chimed in, "We still need to proactively remind them to be patriotic!"

Wu Zhi was also somewhat worried by what they said, so he could only nod and accept the secretary and the others' good intentions.

Were there any children of high-ranking officials who envied Wu Aiguo's success and wanted to replace him?

There definitely are, and there will be plenty!

These guys are always chanting "Like father, like son," and they're all incredibly arrogant.

Not to mention, it's best not to speculate whether their fathers or elders had any intention of sending them to Myanmar to make a name for themselves.

However, many children of high-ranking officials also went to the countryside to become educated youth!
If given the opportunity to go to Myanmar to make a name for themselves and even replace Wu Aiguo's position, they certainly wouldn't let it go easily.

Wu Zhi was unaware that the documentary being filmed by the Northwest Branch of Myanmar had not yet fully spread its influence.
