Life 1984

Li Yunhai missed a day of intensive correspondence training because he returned to his hometown.

This training only lasts for half a month and will end on April 4th, just in time for them to participate in the Canton Fair.

After returning from home, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came to the company.

Shen Xiulan came over to ask him how things were going at home?
Li Yunhai said it was okay. My dad was accidentally injured and broke his scalp.

Shen Xiulan said, do you know what score you got?Last night, I specially ran to your computer class and asked about your grades.

Li Yunhai said it would be 40 points at most.

Shen Xiulan said you guessed pretty much, 39 points!You really have to work hard.

This is the lowest score Li Yunhai has ever taken.

Li Yunhai blushed rarely and said, "I really studied hard. I'll try to pass next time!"

Orders received in Hannover in March have been shipped one after another.

Before shipping, Li Yunhai told Jiang Zhijun that all exported goods must undergo multiple inspections. Because returns and exchanges are particularly troublesome, the cost will still be borne by the company, so he would rather strictly abide by export quality standards and try to achieve zero returns. , zero repair.

Although the number of PCs exported this time is only a few thousand units, it represents the face of Sihai Company.

If Longteng PC wants to truly go global, it must achieve world-class quality.

Jiang Zhijun assured Li Yunhai that every exported PC would undergo the most stringent testing.

When Li Yunhai was in Shanghai, he had a phone call with Professor Ni and came up with a new idea, which was to develop a low-cost computer learning machine for teenagers and children.

After Jiang Zhiyuan and his colleagues from the Shanghai Computer Institute came to Sihai Research Institute, they undertook the research and development work of this project.

Sihai Research Institute has experience in developing computer typewriters, but making a computer learning machine is completely childish.

The learning machine integrates many modules on a motherboard. Because it does not need to run complex programs, the configuration requirements are extremely low, even lower than the configuration of a second-hand IBM5150 computer.

A second-hand computer costs just over 1000 yuan.

A lower configuration than this does not require a monitor, and the cost can be controlled within 500 yuan.

Li Yunhai has been abroad and knows that Apple computers have more learning software than IBM computers. By the mid-to-late 80s, there were tens of thousands of learning software on Apple computers, covering all stages of university, middle school, primary school, and enlightenment.

During his inspection in the United States, Li Yunhai experienced a "Starry Sky" learning software from Apple Computer.

After you click on the software, you will see a starry sky picture that can be magnified many times. You can clearly see the surface of each star, which is equivalent to magnifying the entire night sky in front of you, and you can also see the descriptions of these planets.

Even Li Yunhai, a reborn person, was shocked at the time. He didn't expect that computer technology in the 80s was so advanced.

Li Yunhai discussed with Professor Ni, Jiang Zhiyuan and others that the Sihai Learning Machine must be compatible with all software on Apple computers.

Computer learning machines do not have a file system without the use of floppy drives and operating system floppy disks. They use BASIC to execute programs, and it is also an interpreted BASIC that requires input of line numbers. It is also the oldest BASIC.

The CPU uses 6502, an 8-bit microprocessor with a main frequency of 1MHz.The memory is 96K bytes RAM.The first and second level Chinese character libraries of the Chinese character system GB2312 are integrated into two pieces of one-megabit ROM to form one module. 9-pin joystick interface, 3.5-inch double-sided floppy disk drive interface, 25W switching power supply.

It comes with an Apple series 50-wire expansion slot, and the whole machine is compatible with APPLE II computers.

There is almost no difficulty in developing this Sihai computer learning machine.

Professor Ni and Jiang Zhiyuan assured Li Yunhai that they would successfully develop it within 3 months!
That evening, after Li Yunhai had dinner, he drove to pick up Shen Xiulan.

Shen Xiulan said she didn't want to take Li Yunhai's car, but when she saw him coming to pick her up, she still got in the car.

Li Yunhai glanced at her neck and smiled when he saw that she was wearing the necklace he gave her.

Shen Xiulan really liked this necklace. She reached out and touched the jade pendant and said, "How much does the necklace cost? I'll give it to you. It's considered as my purchase."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Okay, it's not expensive, 12 Hong Kong dollars."

Shen Xiulan lost her composure instantly. Although she knew that this necklace would definitely not be cheap, she was still shocked when she heard the price and said, "You really have a lot of money! Then I can't afford it. I don't have all my belongings." 12!”

The black market price of RMB against Hong Kong dollar has always been almost one to one.

Li Yunhai just smiled slightly.

During the evening class, there was a new teacher, a middle-aged male teacher in his 40s.

This teacher was obviously more tempered than the previous one. He called the roll as soon as he came, and then he banged the podium with his knuckles and said with a distressed look on his face: "There are 8 students who didn't come! What kind of learning attitude do you have? I teach a class , if there were students like you, I would expel them directly! And the last exam, the test paper was written by me, how many students failed, please raise your hands."

Only three people in the classroom raised their hands.

Unfortunately, Li Yunhai is one of them.

The teacher stretched out his hand, pointed at the three of them, and said, "Don't you know how to do such a simple question? Since you are here to study adult education, you also want to get a diploma and learn some knowledge. Fortunately, your work unit requires improvement, right? Just With your grades, I dare say you will never improve! Your salary will never exceed 100 yuan!"

Li Yunhai frowned and said, "Teacher, hurry up and start class! Don't waste time. How much we get paid has nothing to do with you!"

The teacher pointed at Li Yunhai and said, "How can you, my classmate, talk? I think you are the one at the bottom of the unit, earning the lowest salary and doing the most tiring work! Isn't that right?"

Li Yunhai didn't want to make trouble with him, so he said: "Yes. You are right. Please start your lecture!"

The teacher opened the textbook and started teaching.

This teacher has a bad temper, but his teaching skills are quite good and his lectures are easy to understand.

The two classes passed quickly. The teacher announced that get out of class was over, packed up the textbooks and left.

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan came downstairs together.

When we were getting on the bus, the computer teacher happened to ride over on his bicycle. When he saw Li Yunhai getting into the Rolls-Royce, he couldn't help but be startled and called to him: "Comrade, please wait a moment."

Li Yunhai stuck his head out and asked, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

The teacher looked at the car and asked, "Is this car yours?"

Li Yunhai said yes.

The teacher was shocked and said, "What's your name, please?"

Li Yunhai said: "My name is Li Yunhai."

The teacher shouted: "Li Yunhai, the boss of Sihai Group?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, teacher, do you know me?"

The teacher chuckled: "Several of my students work in your company, and they all told me that there is only one Rolls-Royce in the country, which is their boss's car. I was just wondering how Mr. Li's car got here. , I didn’t expect Mr. Li to take classes here!”

Li Yunhai said: "I only graduated from a technical secondary school and want to learn some computer knowledge. Teacher, your class is very good!"

The teacher blushed, thinking that Li Yunhai was mocking him, and said, "I just said that your salary was low. I was wrong. I take back what I said."

Li Yunhai said: "No, the teacher is right. I don't get any salary in the company, so I am indeed the lowest one. And the work I do is the most tiring in the company."

Looking at the car going away, the teacher touched his head, got on the broken [-]-inch car, and rode away unsteadily.

Li Yunhai drove to the downstairs of Tianhua Building dormitory.

Shen Xiulan asked: "Is Tianhua Building almost completed? I have been working overtime every night these days, and the lights are brightly lit."

Li Yunhai looked at the tall building not far away and said, "Yes, it has been renovated and will be opened soon."

As he spoke, he held Shen Xiulan's hand and said, "Please invite me up for a cup of tea?"

Shen Xiulan curled her lips and said: "I don't dare to invite you! I don't have a good tea treat, so you should go home! She is waiting for you at home!"

Li Yunhai smiled, parked the car, and followed her upstairs.

Shen Xiulan did not block the door this time and allowed him to come in. She made a cup of tea and brought it over, saying: "Only the cheapest tea. You can leave after drinking it!"

Li Yunhai took the tea cup, put it on the coffee table, and kept chatting with her.

It was eleven o'clock in the blink of an eye, and he didn't say he was leaving.

The cuckoo clock on the wall suddenly jumped out and made a cuckoo sound.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said: "Look, it's eleven o'clock and you still haven't gone home?"

Li Yunhai pointed to the cup on the coffee table and said, "You asked me to finish drinking this cup of tea and leave, but the tea is not finished yet!"

Shen Xiulan rolled her eyes at him: "If you have the ability, don't finish drinking it for the rest of your life! Never leave it for the rest of your life!"

Li Yunhai picked up the cup, took a sip, put it down, and said: "A lifetime is too long, let's live today well first."

Shen Xiulan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have the ability, do you dare not go home tonight?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "If you dare to keep me, I will not go home."

Shen Xiulan stood up and said, "Whatever you want, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

She got up and got her clothes into the shower.

When she came out after washing, Li Yunhai was missing.

"Hmph! You coward! I knew it. How dare you stay? You'd be weird if Lin Zhi didn't castrate him!" Shen Xiulan glanced at the tea cup. It was almost full. "The tea has not been finished yet, but the person has disappeared!"

She didn't wash her hair, only wore a nightgown. She turned off the light in the living room, pushed the door open and entered the bedroom without turning on the light, and went straight to bed to get ready for bed.

Suddenly she met someone!

Shen Xiulan screamed in fright.

But then he was covered by a big hand.

Shen Xiulan smelled a familiar smell.

She knew it was Li Yunhai.

Good guy!
Not only did he not leave, he actually got into her bed!

"Stop yelling!" Li Yunhai's warm voice came to her ears.

Shen Xiulan touched her heart gently and said, "You scared me to death! Why don't you leave?"

"I can't leave until the tea is finished." Li Yunhai turned over.

Shen Xiulan wanted to get up, but was suppressed by him and couldn't move.

"You are so brave! You didn't come home so late and the car was parked under my building. Be careful that someone snitched on her! Everyone who lives in this building knows her!"

"Don't worry, I have something to say."

"You let me go."

"do not let it go."

"What do you want to do?"

What does he want to do?
Isn't this a well-intentioned question?

Shen Xiulan knew that she couldn't escape today, so she said tremblingly: "This is the last time! Don't think about me again in the future. You are just a scoundrel."

Li Yunhai didn't speak. At this time, his mouth was not for talking.

At 12:30 in the evening, Li Yunhai returned home.

Lin Zhi must have fallen asleep.

Li Yunhai came in quietly, took a shower first, and then gently came to the bed and lay down.

"Hai of Yun!" Lin Zhi's voice was very soft, but it sounded very loud in the quiet night.

"Did it wake you up?" Li Yunhai hugged her. "Well, why did you come back? I had already slept and woke up."

"Oh, I went to Tianhua Building to inspect it. The decoration has been completed and the finishing work is being done."

"When will Tianhua Hotel open?"

"It will take several months, and there is still a lot of preliminary work. The training of employees, the procurement of materials, and the establishment of the catering department are all big projects. We also need to compile and print job descriptions, work processes, work standards, management systems, Running tables etc.”

Lin Zhi had no doubts because Tianhua Building was right next to him and he had indeed been working overtime at night recently.

She changed into a more comfortable position, letting Li Yunhai hug her, and the two of them fell asleep.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time to attend the Canton Fair.

Li Yunhai has high hopes for this Canton Fair.

Firstly, Sihai Group's Longteng PC has just made a splash at the Hannover Fair and has received unanimous praise from overseas peers. This brand-new PC product is extremely cost-effective and will definitely receive a lot of orders.

Secondly, he is also very confident in Sihai Translator. Not only Chinese people need to learn English, but other foreigners also need to learn English. Even people from English-speaking countries also need to learn other languages.

Thirdly, the fourth-generation typewriter has perfect functions and should be a best-seller at this Canton Fair.

At this Canton Fair, Sihai Group still got the five best booths.

The team leader is still Tang Yuxia.

Tang Yuxia is a woman. Her position and level have reached this level, and it is difficult for her to rise further.If she couldn't be promoted to a powerful deputy position in the province, she might as well sit firmly in the top position of the Commerce Bureau, which was the most powerful department in the 80s.

Li Yunhai organized the most luxurious camp in the company to participate in the Canton Fair.

In order to make the journey more comfortable, Li Yunhai got some soft sleeper tickets.

Tang Yuxia was originally qualified to enjoy the soft sleeper.

Li Yunhai is now the deputy director of the Tianhua Building Management Office. With his status, he can also buy soft sleeper tickets.

He also used some tricks to get two soft sleeper tickets for Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan.

In the late 80s, everything was about money, and the rules for purchasing soft sleeper seats had actually begun to be changed.Those self-employed and township entrepreneurs who have become developed can already ask the captain to exchange soft sleeper carriages for them by giving money.

The self-employed in this period are completely different from the self-employed as understood by later generations. Don’t think that a small vendor selling tea eggs can become a self-employed who needs to take the train to the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta to run business.This is an era when the private economy is just emerging. The self-employed people who travel all over the country are often the trendsetters in the private economy, and they represent the private economy.Many of them have become big bosses and outstanding entrepreneurs in later generations.

If the soft sleeper seats are indeed available and there are no seats available, you can already get a ticket as long as you spend money.

A soft sleeper box sleeps two people, Shen Xiulan and Tang Yuxia together, and Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi together.

Li Yunhai couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he thought about the wonderful journey he and Guo Wanhua took in a soft sleeper car last time.

He told Lin Zhi what Guo Wanhua saw last time.

After hearing this, Lin Zhi was not surprised at all and said, "What's the point? If one person is willing to beat someone else, the other person is willing to endure it. How can you care about what others do?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "You are right, let's do this too?"

Lin Zhi pushed him: "No! It's just one night! When we get to Huacheng, why don't we just let you do whatever you want?"

She can accept playing in the mountains, but she absolutely cannot accept playing on the train.

Seeing her persistence, Li Yunhai had no choice but to give up.

The two of them played cards together and read books to pass the time on this boring long journey.

In the evening, Li Yunhai bought a lunch box and delivered it to Tang Yuxia's box.

But he saw Tang Yuxia lying motionless on the bed.

Li Yunhai asked: "Auntie! What's wrong with you?"

Shen Xiulan whispered: "Tang Bureau has a cold and has been feeling uncomfortable."

Tang Yuxia woke up with a start and said feebly: "Sea of ​​clouds."

Li Yunhai said: "Auntie, would you like to get up and have something to eat? Have you brought any medicine?"

Tang Yuxia shook her head, coughed several times, and then said: "It's okay, no need to take medicine, it's just one night, I can stand it and pass."

Li Yunhai returned to his box and told Lin Zhi about the matter.

Lin Zhi said anxiously: "My mother can't catch a cold! Every time she catches a cold, she gets a fever and her lungs get infected. Really, I'm not scaring you. She has such a serious reaction every time she catches a cold. Yunhai, can you? Did you get the medicine?"

Li Yunhai said: "Don't worry, I will find a way to find medicine."

He found the conductor and asked if there were any cold, cough, or anti-inflammatory drugs?

Sure enough, the train is equipped with a first aid kit.The medicines in the medicine box are commonly used, safe, convenient and effective medicines within the scope of national essential medicines, such as medicines for trauma, high fever pain, acute inflammation, etc., as well as stethoscopes, blood pressure machines, disposable debridement kits, etc.

Li Yunhai told Tang Yuxia's situation, and the conductor carried the medicine box with him to the box where Tang Yuxia was.

Lin Zhi has already arrived.

The conductor took out the thermometer and measured Tang Yuxia's body weight.

Sure enough, I had a high fever, 39.2 degrees!
The conductor prescribed medicine as usual and recorded the passenger's information.

Tang Yuxia fell asleep immediately after taking the medicine.

Li Yunhai said to Shen Xiulan: "Thank you for taking care of her tonight. If the high fever does not go away, feed her another antipyretic medicine."

Shen Xiulan said: "I know."

Lin Zhi was worried about her mother and said, "Well, I'll stay here to take care of my mother. Xiulan, you and I can change beds! It's so late at night, I can't trouble you."

Shen Xiulan glanced at Li Yunhai and said, "It's okay, I can take care of Bureau Tang."

Lin Zhi said: "I'm worried after all. It's better to stay here and take care of her. You two can still have a good sleep, right? There is still very important work to do tomorrow, so you must ensure adequate sleep."

Tang Yuxia opened her eyes and said weakly: "Let Lin Zhi stay here!"

Shen Xiulan had nothing to say now.

She and Li Yunhai stayed with Lin Zhi here until eleven o'clock in the evening before returning to their box.

There are lights in the soft sleeper box, and you can control the switching time yourself.

Li Yunhai turned on the light and looked at Shen Xiulan with a smile.

Shen Xiulan said: "You sleep on the bottom, and I'll sleep on the top."

Li Yunhai said: "Anything is fine. Anyway, we have tried every position."

Shen Xiulan blushed and said, "What are you thinking about? I mean, I sleep on the bed and you sleep on the lower bunk! You have been thinking about these men and women all day long-"

She obviously couldn't say the last word.

She climbed to the upper bunk and turned over to lie on her side.

Li Yunhai sat on a chair and took out a book to read.

After a while, Shen Xiulan asked, "Aren't you still asleep?"

Li Yunhai said: "I was criticized by the teacher, so I have to hurry up and study."

Shen Xiulan said: "It's strange, there are 24 hours a day, and you have to read in the middle of the night?"

"It's clean at night and you can see clearly."

"I'm the opposite of you. As soon as I get up, my mind becomes confused. I can't read any books. I just want to sleep."

"Then you go to bed and I'll read a few more pages."

"I can't sleep with the light on."

Li Yunhai closed the book, turned off the light, and lay down on the lower bunk.

"Xiulan, are you asleep?" Li Yunhai asked.

"Don't talk. I was about to fall asleep when you woke me up again."

"I can not sleep."

"why?"

"Miss you."

"Don't believe it! You don't miss me! Unless you want to be with me!"

"Uh! I really just want to be with you."

"Don't even think about it! It won't work here."

"Oh, can we get to Huacheng?"

"no!"

"Actually, the environment here is better than that in the woods. It has a private space and a bed!"

"go to bed!"

Li Yunhai couldn't tease her, so he had to force himself to fall asleep.

But that thought seemed to have taken root, echoing in his mind.

The beauty is on the upper bunk!
Who can resist this?

Li Yunhai sat up and shouted: "Xiulan, are you asleep?"

Shen Xiulan did not answer.

Li Yunhai put on his shoes, stood up and looked at the upper bunk.

Shen Xiulan turned over and fell asleep with her face facing outward.

Li Yunhai didn't dare to turn on the light, but occasionally there would be lights flashing outside.

Especially when passing another train, the lights will flash.

Li Yunhai looked at Shen Xiulan with picturesque features, leaned over and kissed her.

Shen Xiulan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Yunhai, what are you doing?" Shen Xiulan sat up suddenly and accidentally hit her head.

Li Yunhai smiled sarcastically: "Get up and go to the bathroom."

"Then you're still not sleeping!"

"Xiulan, I really miss you."

"I knew you would mess around! That's why I don't want to change beds with Lin Zhi. If you do this again, I'll go over!"

Li Yunhai lay down on the bed dejectedly: "Sleep!"

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips and smiled: "Be good! When we get to Zhiyuan tomorrow, you can plant Ganoderma lucidum if you want, and eat Ganoderma lucidum if you want! You can do whatever you want!"

Li Yunhai didn't answer her, and deliberately made a long breathing sound.

Shen Xiulan rubbed her forehead, climbed down gently, sat beside Li Yunhai's bed, and kissed him on the face. (End of chapter)
