Chapter 882 Falling Out (7000 Words)
“Mm, delicious!” There were not many dishes on the table, but they were all served in earthenware bowls.
There were salty braised pork, steamed chicken with rice flour, steamed pork intestines with rice flour, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, meat with sand, longan meat, sweet glutinous rice, stewed pork feet with white radish, stewed pork ribs with dried cowpea, and another dish was pickled green peppers fried with fat.
The green peppers were dried and then added with salt and placed in a jar.
Of course, there was also the indispensable home-cooked roasted rabbit, which used chopped peppers from the farmers.
There were not many vegetarian dishes, one cold bean sprouts with vermicelli, one stir-fried local frost-bitten spinach, and one stir-fried choy sum.
In fact, many dishes of the locals in the southwest are not spicy. Among the steamed dishes, only one is spicy with pork intestines, and the rest are spiced and sweet.
“People’s living standards are really good now.” Liu Hai whispered when he saw that the owner of this farmer actually had a Panda 1 mobile phone.
"Our company sends them to farmers. If there are any problems with the rabbits or orchards, they can contact technicians. We send two mobile phones to each rural cooperative." Xiaoyun answered in a low voice.
"It's very expensive to install a wired phone in the countryside now. It's better to buy a mobile phone."
"The cost of buying a mobile phone is only half of the cost of a fixed-line phone."
"A fixed-line phone costs about 3,000 yuan, and the cheap Panda 1 mobile phone is less than 2,000 yuan now."
"The main restriction on the development of mobile phones now is the construction of base stations."
Liu Hai nodded. In July 1993, the number of mobile phone users in our country exceeded 50 million. There were many mobile phone users in several large cities in China, and the other was on the island opposite. Of course, most of them were Panda 1 mobile phones. The ex-factory price of Panda 1 mobile phones is about 1,500 yuan now, and the price has dropped again during the Spring Festival.
"Can you let the manufacturers of base station equipment produce more equipment? There is a huge demand for this in China now, which is very helpful for us to understand the situation of rural cooperatives." Xiaoyun asked again.
"This is not something I can worry about. I am only responsible for the technology." Liu Hai certainly knew that he could not increase the production rashly, and the mobile signal towers in each place were planned. Just like this place, there is a signal tower on the top of the opposite mountain, which can cover a large area of the entire hillside here.
In addition, this place is a place for immigrants to relocate, and many projects need to be done. After all, people will definitely get injured during the project, which is inevitable. If you have a mobile phone, you can communicate faster.
"This radish tastes very good, and the temperature difference between day and night on the mountain here is large." Xiaoyun ate a piece of round white radish.
Liu Hai nodded. The dried radish here in the previous life was very delicious. This round white spring radish has been frost-frozen, but it is not the kind that is damaged. After cooking, it is very fresh and sweet, and this radish has no tendons.
Dried beans are also very comfortable to eat, unlike some dried beans bought online in the previous life, which look dry, but have tendons after soaking. This depends entirely on the time when the farmers pick the beans.
After picking the tender beans, they should be boiled and dried immediately.
The color of dried beans after being exposed to the sun for several days is beautiful, but it will be a little dark if it is cloudy.
Liu Hai, Xiao Yun and his junior sister Wang Hongmei sat at one table, and the children sat on the other side.
The family has two daughters. The older daughter is probably in junior high school, and the younger daughter is still young.
The two little girls were busy serving dishes and so on.
The standard for this meal is 20 yuan per person, which is not low at this time.
When leaving, Xiao Yun gave each child in the family a red envelope.
The family also wanted to give the children of Liu Hai and his group New Year's money, but they were rejected.
Ninety percent of the farmers are actually very simple.
In the afternoon, we went around the neighborhood again. Liu Hai mainly observed the construction of the new immigrant village, while Xiao Yun mainly looked at whether the various project announcements were in place, because some projects of Wanjiafu Company were funded in advance.
Some farmers are more worried that they can't sell the crops they grow, so when they develop, Wanjiafu Company will invest in them with funds. Of course, if the development is good later, the farmers can buy back the shares.
These farmers did not know Liu Hai's true identity, they only knew that he was a big boss from Kyoto.
At night, Liu Hai and his group stayed in the town, where Wanjiafu's office was located.
Liu Hai visited the office, which had a parking lot and a warehouse, and the staff were basically recruited from nearby.
Wanjiafu has offices in the towns where it cooperates, and this is also a logistics point.
These logistics points also take into account express delivery, of course, the amount of express delivery is not very large now.
In addition, this office also has a cold storage.
In addition, computers are already used for office work here, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere.
"Surveillance is indispensable. If something happens, we can find out who is responsible." Xiaoyun said.
Liu Hai nodded. Having surveillance is good for everyone, and it can also extinguish some people's fluke mentality. There is a lot of water in the agricultural product field.
"This office is also responsible for communicating with some technical departments in the town, such as the agricultural technology department, to know when to apply fertilizer, when to prune fruit trees, and when to bag the fruit."
"The time difference between different places here may be half a month due to the different altitudes. In some places, the fruit trees at the foot of the mountain bloom half a month before the fruit trees on the mountain bloom."
The workload of this office is relatively small during this period, but the workload is very heavy when the fruit is ready.
Now we mainly buy some agricultural and sideline products, such as bacon and sausage, and package them here, and put traceability information on them.
There are also some fresh agricultural and sideline products, such as rabbits, pigs, chickens, cattle and sheep, etc.
The cooperative also raises them in batches according to the plan.
Fresh agricultural and sideline products are inspected by local inspection and quarantine departments, and then they will be transported to local slaughterhouses. The supermarkets are all fresh products slaughtered the night before. If they cannot be sold on the same day, they will all be sold at a low price.
"Not bad!" Liu Haijue's Wanjiafu Supermarket will have a natural advantage in e-commerce in the future, and it will develop much better than JD.com.
It took JD.com many years and cost a lot to build its own logistics system.
These offices will hire temporary workers when they are busy.
The computers here are all Panda 1 computers.
Panda 1 computers have begun to cover the country, especially some government offices.
The railway network communication department also made a lot of money.
The next day, it happened to be the market in the town. This town was also newly built. It was originally in the river valley at the foot of the mountain.
They are all buildings, and they are all cast-in-place buildings.
Motorcycles and vans are the mainstream here. There are also cars, but not many.
The rows of motorcycles in the town are motorcycle taxis.
The motorcycle taxi drivers in these places are very skilled. Liu Hai saw a motorcycle with 6 people including the driver, three adults and three children.
No one cares about this town. There are several motorcycle stores in the town, and the business is also very good.
As for how many people sit in the five-star van, it is difficult to say. Anyway, Liu Hai saw that there are at least more than 10 people in each van.
There are also those low stools in the van.
There are also various things on the roof of the van.
The sound of mahjong in the teahouse sounded again. In some taverns, several people sat together and ordered braised beef, peanuts, and a cup of soaked medicinal wine. The colors of these medicinal wines are very beautiful.
Liu Hai knows some tricks here. Generally, they fry some sugar color in it to pretend to be wolfberry and jujube.
They were all huge glass bottles, with all kinds of things in them, some with medicinal materials, some with bones, and some with snakes.
There were also local doctors who treated injuries.
"This tabby cat is so beautiful!" Junior sister saw an old lady selling a tabby cat.
"This is called Jianzhou cat, it is said to be a tribute in the past, you can see its four paws are white and its head is round." Liu Hai saw that the six kittens in this litter basically looked the same.
"Grandpa!" Xingxing and the others couldn't walk when they saw the kittens.
The person in charge of Wanjiafu accompanied them and asked the price.
As a result, the old lady said that it would cost two yuan per kitten, and one yuan would be fine. The old lady said that she would find a way to live for a few kittens, because she couldn't afford to raise more at home.
These six kittens are well raised. It can be seen that the owner still treats the kittens well. Of course, they are not as fat as those cats raised on cat food in 2020.
Six kittens and a basket with a lid were given 20 yuan, and then another 20 yuan was given to the old lady to wish her a happy new year. The old lady is 72 years old this year.
The old lady wiped her tears excitedly. The price of Jianzhou cats is relatively high in the international market now.
Because Liu Hai drew a pet cat in Toy Story that grew up with the little owner, that is, the Jianzhou cat with white gloves.
It's just in this remote countryside, and there are many such cats in our country.
There are also people selling small native dogs and chickens, and they sell old hens and chickens together.
There are also many vegetable sellers, various mountain products. Liu Hai doesn't know much about these Chinese herbal medicines, so he didn't buy them rashly.
There are also industrial products from outside, various toys, various snacks, and snacks.
There are also various household appliances, TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, and rice cookers.
The most lively one is the one selling VCD discs. A 14-inch color TV is placed on the stall with two external speakers, which attracted many people to watch. The first part of the hurricane rescue is played.
There were all kinds of exquisite VCD discs, but Liu Hai knew that they were pirated.
Domestically, people turn a blind eye to the piracy of VCD discs.
This is definitely not the case abroad. If they find out, they will sue him until he goes bankrupt.
"Haha!" Xiaoyun also saw that these discs were pirated, but he just laughed.
Of course, there are also various restaurants in this town, offering wonton, noodles, rice, stir-fried dishes, braised dishes, stewed dishes, steamed dishes, barbecue, and teppanyaki.
The stew is a large casserole on a honeycomb coal stove, with snow peas and pig's trotters, winter melon and crispy pork, braised tofu, duck meat and kelp, and stewed konjac.
"Well, the heat is good enough." Liu Hai and his family went into a small restaurant. The konjac was obviously made by the farmers themselves. The color was particularly darker, and because it was stewed for a long time, it tasted chewier, unlike the ones sold in the market that would rot as soon as you touched it.
"Don't they say that people here like spicy food? Why aren't these stews spicy?" The junior sister looked at these stews with some doubts?
"Sichuan cuisine has a variety of flavors. They don't pursue any fixed format. As long as it tastes good, it's fine!" Liu Hai watched more short videos in his previous life.
"The Jianghu cuisine in the area south of Shudu is spicy." Liu Hai picked up a piece of braised pork belly, which was very soft and slightly spicy, with more of a five-spice flavor.
The restaurant owner was very happy. He didn't expect to have such a big business before noon.
After Liu Hai finished eating, he came to the door. There was a counter on one side of the door and several clay pots on the other side.
The aroma of the clay pots drifted out, attracting people on the street.
"How is the business, boss?" The boss handed Liu Hai a Chuncheng cigarette. Liu Hai shook his head and refused, then asked.
"Business is not good now!"
"The main reason is that transportation is too convenient now. There are motorcycles and vans."
"When I was in the old field before, transportation was not convenient at that time. Everyone had to walk a long way back, so they had to eat at noon."
"Now many people do a calculation. The money for meals is almost enough for taking a car. It's better to go back early."
"Plus, during the New Year, everyone is eating and drinking at home!"
This situation is similar to Liu Hai's hometown in his previous life. There are fewer and fewer restaurants in the town where he was in his previous life.
Liu Hai's father is a good example. He used to walk for more than an hour to go to the market. After getting things done at the market, he had to eat something before walking back.
It was convenient later. It only took 20 minutes to get there by car. Sometimes, after finishing the work, you can take the van back.
If you really wait until the afternoon, there might be no vans.
These restaurants in the town probably didn't expect that it was not the opponents who defeated them, but these motorcycles and vans.
Just like many physical stores, who would have thought that they were defeated by computers and mobile phones.
However, there were many people in the town during the New Year. After one o'clock, there was a mahjong table in almost every store, and there were many in the special teahouses.
Seeing others playing mahjong, Xiaoyun and his friends also felt a little itchy. In the afternoon, they returned to Wanjiafu's office in this town and played mahjong at several tables until the evening.
The restaurant owner was asked to deliver the food in advance!
On the third day, Liu Hai came to the construction site of the Three Gorges Dam. Construction had already begun here, with countless engineering machinery, countless workers, and countless materials.
This is also the place where the dam was built in history. Liu Hai only took a rough look and did not inspect it closely.
The main reason is that there are many vehicles and various construction machinery on the construction site. No one can guarantee whether there will be any accidents.
Liu Hai is more concerned about logistics, such as the workers' accommodation environment and the food in the workers' canteen.
"During the Chinese New Year, we not only have triple wages, but also subsidies."
"At least two meat dishes are guaranteed every day. Today's lunch is braised pork and spicy chicken!" The general manager of the engineering department here took Liu Hai to visit the kitchen here.
The color of the braised pork is a bit dark, it seems that too much soy sauce is added, but it is nothing for the workers.
Those who do this kind of physical work have to eat a lot of oil and salt, and they have to eat animal oil. If you eat vegetable oil and soybean oil, you will get hungry easily!
Spicy chicken is to boil the chicken and chop it into pieces, and then add red oil and spicy flavor.
There are also two vegetarian dishes, one is tofu, and the other is stir-fried lotus root.
In some places, work cannot be stopped, so they take turns to eat, and some are delivered to the construction site.
Of course, there must be more than one canteen.
Liu Hai's family ate here at noon.
Of course, the taste is definitely not as good as in the restaurant, and they also use a lot of oil and salt.
Of course, Liu Hai and his group ate more vegetarian dishes.
In the afternoon, Liu Hai left the construction site here and went to the nearby resettlement site to take a look.
This time, we looked at a place where sheep were raised, but the sheep here were all raised in pens, growing forage grass and crop straw, corn straw, soybean straw, and there were special equipment to knead these straws into silk, which is a special silk kneading machine.
These are the local yellow goats and black goats here.
The sheep here are mainly supplied to the big cities here, and the price of cattle and sheep has been a little low in the past two years, mainly because the grassland in the north has a large output.
However, the south prefers to eat goat meat instead of sheep meat on the grassland.
And here people like to scald the skin when eating mutton. At noon, Liu Hai and others had a mutton hot pot.
There are two flavors of simmered pot, one clear soup and one spicy.
Scalded mutton is now also available in Wanjiafu Supermarket in Kyoto. The mutton skin is stewed soft and glutinous after being burned.
On the fourth day, Liu Hai found a place to fish. Maybe it was because of winter, he didn't catch any fish.
On the fifth day, Liu Hai went down the river to the Baiji Dolphin Protection Area. Now there is no reclamation of the lake here. Instead, the lake is constantly being withdrawn and the lake is being dredged.
The dredged silt is used to reinforce the surrounding embankments, making the embankments wider and the lakes deeper, so that more water can be accommodated.
However, there is always something here, that is, schistosomiasis, so Liu Hai and others don't dare to eat river food here.
On the sixth day, the group returned to Kyoto and officially started work.
Although many things in history are different, such as the personal income tax implementation regulations that were only implemented in 1994, they have been implemented for decades.
But some things are still on the trajectory of history, such as an air crash at Fei Goose's home.
On March 22, Fei Goose International Airlines Flight 593 crashed in Siberia, killing all 75 people on board.
It was because the captain asked his children to operate the aircraft illegally and turn off the automatic aileron driving system, which caused the aircraft to tilt and the autopilot to fail.
So some things are destined and cannot be escaped even if you want to.
Fortunately, this situation is unlikely to happen in China, and the security inspection of domestic air flights is now very strict.
The Bald Eagle had to wait until after 9/11 to become more strict in this regard.
Then, as expected, certain forces in the Tocharian country finally emerged, and the Bald Eagle would taste the bitter fruit he had sown.
Then something happened internationally, that is, Lao Er exported White Swan model aircraft to some Eastern countries, priced at 150 million pounds each.
However, the deal was strongly opposed by Fat Goose.
Of course, not only Fat Goose, but also the Third Leader, Xiaobook, Xiaobangzi, etc. also expressed strong opposition.
On the contrary, there are still bald eagles in Europe, and it seems like this is not a problem.
Some countries in the East have announced that they are ready to shelve this matter.
The people on the second brother's side immediately became anxious and directly spoke harshly to the third master. If you, the third master, object, I will export some harsh things to Xijin.
And the second child made a public speech, that is, since the boss wants to oppose this business, you must compensate for the loss.
Some countries in the East are planning to purchase 10 aircraft, which is equivalent to 1.5 billion pounds. If your boss objects, you will buy it yourself. If you don't compensate us for our losses, then we will stop being brothers.
1.5 billion pounds, the hearts of the people in the second son’s family are bleeding.
Then many people from the second child's family took to the streets and said that the boss was still interfering in our housework. This was simply unreasonable. They had supervised us too much before, and now they still want to control us.
As for some countries in the East, they remain silent.
However, privately, Lao Er directly introduced White Swan-related talents to certain Eastern countries.
The second child and the eldest son almost fell out. There were more and more voices in the second child's family opposing the eldest son, who believed that the eldest son was interfering in his own housework.
However, the boss still expressed his opposition to this business.
Liu Hai knows that this matter is not that simple, but there will be a historical turning point in the second half of the year, that is, Fat Goose's family will be in chaos, and the journey will let Fat Goose know why the flowers are so red, and of course it may be earlier.
In late March 1994, the number of mobile phone users worldwide exceeded 600 million.
The number of domestic mobile phone users has exceeded 70 million.
As for how long it took for mobile phone users to exceed 600 million in history, Liu Hai didn’t know. Anyway, there were definitely not so many users in 1994 in history.
The main reason is that the first-generation Panda mobile phone is cheap. The ex-factory price is only 1,500 yuan, which is less than 200 pounds when converted into pounds. The exchange rate of pounds has reached 8. The exchange rate of the US dollar is now only a few points. Before the dollar fell, the exchange rate reached 6. .
At that time in history, the price of our mobile phone in 1994 reached 20,000 yuan.
There are two restrictions on domestic mobile phone users. One is the construction of base stations, and the other is production capacity. If the superior department had not stipulated a ratio, I am afraid that all of them would have been exported.
In fact, the share of Panda mobile phones has reached more than 85%. Although there are Puma mobile phones and Motorola mobile phones on the surface, these are OEM mobile phones. The only real mobile phones are Nokia mobile phones that are not Panda mobile phones.
In other words, the communication base stations and communication systems used by more than 85% of mobile users in the world are products of FiberHome Technology.
The sales volume of second-generation Pokemon reached 30 million units at the end of March, and there are countless users of first-generation Pokemon who are eagerly waiting for their babies to be reincarnated.
At the same time, the number of Internet users in our country has grown explosively and is expected to exceed 100 million this year. On the one hand, the government is vigorously adopting computers for office work, and on the other hand, the price of the first-generation Panda computers has also reached a very low level.
Even the sales of Panda II computers in China are extremely hot. Panda II computers are sold in two directions. The first is wealthy individuals or companies, and the other is Internet cafes. The country has implemented temporary management measures for Internet cafes. It is stipulated that minors are not allowed to access the Internet. In addition, fire safety and other aspects of Internet cafes must be in place.
Of course, in fact, there are still some gaps in management in this area. For example, the owner of an Internet cafe has a large pile of ID cards, belonging to relatives and friends.
It is definitely not as severe as in 2020. There is no way around this.
Other developing countries have also benefited from this, as the price of computers has dropped, and the price of mobile phones has dropped, allowing these countries to start accessing the Internet.
Another popular product is VCD. The manufacturer has been pressing orders for 5 million yuan. As for the production of blank discs, it has already exceeded 2 billion!
This is literally a money printing machine, demand exceeds supply.
In April 1994, the dispute between the second son and the boss became more and more intense. The second son even cut off the energy pipeline of Fat Goose through his own land, demanding that the boss pay 1.5 billion pounds and deliver 10 White Swans to him.
The boss is now forced to do nothing, with a serious fiscal deficit and almost no domestic industry.
The main reason is that Fat Bear made the industrial supply chain too scattered. It was originally to take care of other brothers, but now they are separated. Not to mention the supply of raw materials, various technologies, and production equipment are a long-standing problem. .
In addition, during this period, there was an additional aircraft carrier fleet. An aircraft carrier plus a supporting fleet also cost money.
Anyway, the relationship between the two parties is getting worse and worse, and Fat Goose's currency continues to depreciate due to the deterioration of the domestic economy.
Fat Goose now wants to sell what he has, but after a look, there is nothing to sell.
In history, Fat Goose sold Su-27 for a large sum of money.
The current international crude oil price is outrageously low.
The Babylonian Kingdom and the Persian Kingdom are a bit gloating. These two countries are still in debt anyway, so the countries do not have much foreign exchange, and the foreign exchange they have is mainly in pounds, because the oil of these two countries is basically monopolized by European dealers.
The two countries are very happy to see the large amount of US dollars in the camel's hand next to them, which is constantly depreciating every day.
I cursed in my heart: It's what you deserve! I asked you to lend it to us, but you didn't lend it to us, and now it's worthless!
The camel had no choice but to join the ranks of selling US dollars. There was no way, just watching the US dollar become less and less valuable.
In May 1994, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB fell below 5.
However, this also brought some bad results, that is, Panda mobile phones and Panda computers were no longer competitive in the home of the bald eagle.
IBM and Apple found that their computer sales were actually picking up.
I don't know whether to cry or laugh.
Another thing happened in June 1994, that is, Niu Niu and Gaul announced to seal up a conventional aircraft carrier, and announced to sell an aircraft carrier, and each retained two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Because the economic efficiency of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is beyond doubt, and conventional-powered aircraft carriers refuel thousands of tons each time.
However, Nokia's good days did not last for two days, and Panda Mobile announced an overall price reduction, whether it was Panda 1 or Panda 2.
"Not bad, not bad." Liu Hai looked at a set of demonstrated photovoltaic lighting equipment.
In the end, the photovoltaic lighting equipment used maintenance-free lead-acid batteries.
It is mainly a manufacturer of lithium batteries, and there is no excess production capacity.
Laptops, mobile phones, and Walkmans, these have too high a demand for lithium batteries.
The entire lighting system is a solar photovoltaic panel, which varies in size according to different regions, and then a maintenance-free lead-acid battery, and three low-voltage LED lighting lamps, and two lithium battery rechargeable flashlights, because flashlights are more useful in remote mountainous areas.
"Great!" Sun Aiguo looked at the test data of this equipment. Even on cloudy days, it can provide at least 5 hours of lighting for three lamps.
"Children in remote areas will no longer need kerosene lamps to do homework in the future!" Sun Aiguo said.
Liu Hai knew that the electricity bill in rural areas is not cheap now. There are two main reasons. The first is the large loss. Not to mention the loss itself, there are also some relatives who use electricity without paying and put the loss on everyone. Some even steal electricity.
In 2020, Liu Hai saw a blogger who came to check for electricity theft. Some people stole electricity very arrogantly.
In addition, electricity in rural areas still costs money. Naturally, people who have no money are reluctant to use electricity.
This low-voltage LED lamp uses very little electricity.
"Xiao Liu, can you develop a rechargeable radio? People in remote areas also want to receive information from the outside world." Sun Aiguo proposed another idea.
