Life 1984

Chapter 345: Face to Face【Please subscribe】

After the original owner left, he left half a room full of briquettes in the wing.

Making a fire with honeycomb briquettes was still a technical job. Fortunately, Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin had both done housework since they were young, so they quickly started the fire.Li Yunhai raised the stove to the vent and fanned it with a fan. The briquettes soon burned brightly.

Zhu Lin squatted next to him and said: "If you renovate next year, you must install heating. We in Beijin have been installing central heating since 1985. But these old houses have not yet been installed."

Li Yunhai fanned the wind vigorously, watching the green flames coming out of the briquettes, and said: "We still need to install water, showers and ceilings. Hey, don't you Beijin people burn Kangs?"

Zhu Lin smiled and said: "I heard from my parents that people in Beijin used to have kangs in their bungalows. Around 1958, comrades from the housing management office dismantled all the kangs in the alley and replaced them with more comfortable beds."

As she spoke, she blew a breath into the furnace. Unexpectedly, the soot flew out, scaring her back and sitting down on the ground.

Li Yunhai helped her up and said with a smile: "It's almost done. The fire is burning brightly. The gas smell is also reduced."

He carried the stove to the bedroom and placed it in front of the bed to keep warm.This kind of old-fashioned house is not completely sealed. There are always gaps for ventilation, so there is no need to worry about gas poisoning.But just in case, Li Yunhai opened a few windows.

The two sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging the quilt and playing bridge.

Bridge requires four people to play together. It is an elegant, civilized, philosophical and scientific intellectual sport. It is known as the game of wise men. It requires continuous practice and reflection to continuously improve one's level and skills.

Li Yunhai is just starting to practice, and he only has Zhu Lin as his opponent. The main thing is to learn the rules in case of emergencies.

Zhu Lin asked: "Are you going to Beidaihe tomorrow?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, will you go together?"

"Who am I? You didn't summon me."

"You will participate as my assistant. I really need an assistant by my side."

"Really need it? Then you have to pay me a salary."

"Haha! How much do you want?"

"For a big boss like you, I can't offer too low, otherwise I'll be sorry for you. Well, give me a few hundred million!"

"Okay! I'll give you several hundred million tonight!"

"How many hundred million can you give me tonight?"

Seeing that she didn't understand the joke, Li Yunhai could only smile.

Bridge is more difficult to learn than Li Yunhai imagined, and there are so many rules.

In the evening, Zhu Lin made meals while Li Yunhai continued to study the rules of bridge alone.

After dinner, Zhu Lin continued to learn bridge with him and asked him if he wanted to call two friends over to play bridge together?

Li Yunhai said forget it, I just need to understand the rules. I'm afraid it might be needed for the interview tomorrow, but most likely it won't be. It's impossible to meet us for so long!
After studying bridge until about eleven o'clock, Zhu Lin felt sleepy and said, "Are you asleep?"

Li Yunhai was studying hard and said, "Wait a minute, I'll play some more."

Zhu Lin lay next to him and closed his eyes.

After Li Yunhai studied bridge and understood the rules, when he came to see Zhu Lin, he saw that she had fallen asleep.

Because there was an important meeting the next day, Li Yunhai did not dare to neglect, so he had to recharge his batteries, and no longer disturbed Zhu Lin. He just walked over and hugged her and fell asleep.

Beidaihe is a tourist attraction and is also said to be the Forbidden City in the east.

The Beijing-Daiyang route was opened in the 20s.

It has always been the practice of many leaders to go to Beidaihe for recuperation and vacation.

Li Yunhai and his party arrived in Beidaihe.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yunhai and the others were brought to a building after a rigorous inspection.

This is Building No. 95 in Xishan District. Looking at the number plate, you can tell that this house is occupied by an unusual number of people.

The courtyard is large and very quiet, with a forest of pine, cypress and poplar trees in the courtyard.There are two big trees in the courtyard that are particularly eye-catching. One is a cedar, with a diameter of more than 80 centimeters and a height of more than 50 meters. It grows very lushly; the other is a French plane tree, which grows tall and thick and is extremely spectacular.

Li Yunhai, Zhu Lin and others came to the living room, sat there for a while, and saw several people coming out of the study over there.

They both stood up quickly and stood solemnly.

An old man with a kind face but not an angry look walked over slowly. He was not tall, but he exuded the temperament of a great man. His clothes were simple but awe-inspiring.

He smiled slightly and stretched out his hand towards Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai took two steps forward, bent down, held the old man's hand, and shouted respectfully and excitedly: "Hello, grandpa."

"Hello, you are Comrade Li Yunhai. You are very young and energetic! This is what young people should be like!" The old man patted the back of Li Yunhai's hand and said with a smile, "I have heard about your deeds. Very cool!"

Li Yunhai was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

In order to relieve the tension, the old man asked with a smile: "Can you swim?"

Li Yunhai said: "Grandpa, I can swim, and I can even cross the Xijiang River."

The old man smiled and said: "Okay! Swimming is good. I tested my body on two aspects. One is whether I can go into the sea, and the other is whether I can play cards. Being able to go into the sea proves that my physical strength is good, and being able to play cards proves that my mind is good."

What words of wisdom full of true insights.

The old man asked Li Yunhai to sit down, took out a cigarette and asked, "Do you want to smoke?"

Li Yunhai knew that the old man never left his cigarette, so he smiled and said, "I smoke too."

The old man took out one and handed it to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai was flattered and stood up to take it.

The old man said: "They made this kind of cigarette specifically for me. The filter tip is particularly long. They said it was to allow me to slowly reduce the amount of smoking. I'm afraid you young people won't be able to get used to it."

Li Yunhai looked at the special Panda cigarette in his hand and found that the filter tip was really long, taking up half of the cigarette.He couldn't bear to smoke it and wanted to keep it as a souvenir, so he put it between his ears.

The old man lit a cigarette and said: "I called you here because I wanted to chat with the young talents. Can you tell me how you made a fortune? How was Sihai Group established? It doesn't involve commercial secrets, right?" "

Li Yunhai smiled, and his nervousness slowly disappeared.

The old man is as kind as his grandfather!

Li Yunhai then recounted the story of how he quit his job and started his own business after graduating from a technical secondary school.

The old man listened attentively and praised Li Yunhai as a very thoughtful and creative young man who had made great contributions to the popularization of computers in the country.

Li Yunhai brought a fourth-generation typewriter and a translator and gave them to the old man.

The old man immediately asked the staff to open the package and played with the typewriter, praising it as a good machine.

In the evening, the old man stayed with Li Yunhai to have dinner with him.

After the meal, the old man asked Li Yunhai if he knew how to play bridge.

Li Yunhai smiled and said he only knew a little.

It happened that the chess master Nie Weiping was also recuperating in Beidaihe and came to visit the old man.

The old man played bridge with the chess master and Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin did not expect that the bridge skills he learned last night would really come in handy today.

Needless to say, Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin were no match for each other, and they were utterly defeated.

The chess master didn't want his guest to lose too badly, so he let go.

The old man didn't point it out, he just said: "You are a nine-dan player in Go, but not a nine-dan player in bridge!"

The chess master blushed and smiled.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin were naturally defeated and said, "Grandpa's bridge skills are really great."

The old man asked: "Computer technology can do anything? Can you make a software for playing chess and cards?"

Li Yunhai said: "It can be done. In fact, there is software for this now, but artificial intelligence is not enough. It is equivalent to the level of amateur chess players, like me."

In 1968, the earliest computer Go program was written.The software introduces an evaluation function to analyze the chess game to estimate the size of the spaces occupied by both sides.

The first generation of Go artificial intelligence in the true sense was developed by a university professor in my country in the early 90s. This software is called Shoutan. From 1993 to 2002, it won the computer Go world championship 10 times, and Shoutan This name is also another name for Go besides Yi.

The old man was very interested and chatted with Li Yunhai about many computer development issues.

Finally, the old man talked to Li Yunhai about investing in Beijin.

"They asked me for permission for the piece of land you asked for, and I gave it my approval. There's just one thing, I can't agree to the 90-meter height you asked for. The height of the building can't be any higher. If it's any higher, tourists will not be able to stand in Taihe. In the temple, you can only see high-rise buildings all around, and you can’t even see the sky.”

Li Yunhai said: "I got the approval and said it can be built to a height of 68 meters. I think it is enough."

The old man said: "This is a very good project. Next to it is the ancient Forbidden City. The contrast between the new and the old is very strong. After your square is built, I must go and see it in person. Walk."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, grandpa, I will report to you then."

The old man said to the staff around him: "During the construction process of Sihai Plaza, there will definitely be a lot of resistance. When the Jianguo Hotel was started, many people in the surrounding area objected, saying that it would block the sunlight in their houses, and that it would bring benefits to them. Make noise, run out in the middle of the night to cause damage, no construction is allowed! I will never allow such a thing to happen again! Even if they have a reason, they can't stop it! What's more, they are making trouble unreasonably! Reform and opening up is the general trend, and we must firmly follow the trend Move forward and never look back!”

This is to encourage and support the construction of Sihai Plaza!
With the tone set by the old man, Li Yunhai seemed to have received a reassurance that he could invest boldly with confidence.

The old man said to Li Yunhai: "If you encounter difficulties that they cannot solve, you can report it directly to me and I will help you solve it!"

Li Yunhai straightened his back and said solemnly: "Thank you, grandpa." After the meeting, Li Yunhai, Zhu Lin and others withdrew.

They stayed at a state-run hotel in Beidaihe.

This is a resort area, and most of the western-style buildings were built before liberation.

Li Yunhai and the others live in a European-style mansion.

After returning to his residence, Zhu Lin relaxed and said: "I have been so nervous. Let alone talking, I don't even dare to express my anger! You are really amazing and you can handle it with ease."

Li Yunhai said: "The main reason is that grandpa is easy to talk to."

Zhu Lin said: "I didn't eat enough just now, and I didn't dare to eat or drink too much. I was afraid that I would need to go to the bathroom and look embarrassed. I'm so hungry now, what should I do?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "That's not true, is it? Why do you need to be so reserved? Then let's go outside and find something to eat!"

In Beidaihe in winter, the wind is cold and dark clouds are hanging over the city.It is peaceful but not lonely, and the scenery is unique. The European-style buildings left over from the Republic of China period give people an exotic feeling.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin came to the street and found a self-employed restaurant that was still open.

"Boss, is there anything left to eat?" Li Yunhai asked.

The store owner replied: "Yes! There are late night snacks, fried noodles, soup noodles, etc."

Zhu Lin said: "Let me have a bowl of fried noodles!"

Li Yunhai ordered a bowl of noodle soup.

The store prepared noodles and served them.

Zhu Lin picked up a piece of fried rice noodles with chopsticks and handed it to Li Yunhai's mouth.

Li Yunhai also took some stamped beef for her to eat.

Zhu Lin smiled softly: "Are we considering the case as a case in point?"

The two of them had dinner and walked along the street.

"It would be nice if it snowed." Zhu Lin looked up at the cold sky and said, "Seawater can also freeze, which is called sea ice, but I haven't seen it yet."

It's extremely cold today, with the north wind howling.

Snowflakes suddenly appeared in the sky.

The first snow falls gently, covering the earth like feathers, bringing a sense of tranquility and serenity.The snowflakes are densely packed, like countless elves flying in the air.

Zhu Lin jumped up happily: "Look, it's snowing! What I said is too good, isn't it?"

She stretched out her hands to catch the snowflakes in the air.

Li Yunhai said: "You are the queen. If you give an order, the snow will not stop falling. Just like Wu Zetian. She wanted to see the flowers, so she wrote a poem: Ming Dynasty went to Shangyuan to announce the spring as soon as possible. The flowers must be there. I sent it all night long, not waiting for the dawn wind to blow. Then I reported to the Flower God. The next morning, all the flowers were in full bloom. Only the peonies did not bloom. As a result, Wu Zetian was furious and demoted to Luoyang. If the snow doesn't fall, you can do it. There is a decree to demote it to June!"

Zhu Lin chuckled and said: "Then I won't become a tyrant? But the snow in June is quite refreshing."

Her face is delicate and picturesque, like the snow in early winter, pure and cold.The eyes are deep, like the starry night sky, hiding endless wisdom and mystery.Her hair was draped over her shoulders, with a few strands of snowflakes falling gently in her hair, complementing her black hair and making her even more elegant.

Li Yunhai held up her pretty face and said, "You are so beautiful."

Zhu Lin smiled sweetly and said: "A Ph.D. in physics can't describe my beauty, and neither can you?"

Li Yunhai said: "The sun is as bright as the morning glow, and it is as bright as the flowers rising from Lubo."

Zhu Lin slowly closed his eyes and whispered: "You won't let me fall asleep again tonight, will you?"

Li Yunhai's heart skipped a beat and he kissed her cold face.

Zhu Lin said: "Let's go back! I want you to warm me."

Li Yunhai said: "I also want to meet the saint."

Zhu Lin said: "Haven't you already met the Holy One?"

Li Yunhai said: "I want to meet you, the queen, with sincerity and openness!"

Zhu Lin understood this time and lowered his eyebrows shyly.

On this deserted Beidaihe Street, the two of them walked back to the hotel holding hands without scruples.

There are not many people traveling here in winter, and there are even fewer people at night.

When passing Yongle Bar, Li Yunhai smiled and said: "There is also a bar here! Do you want to go have a drink?"

Zhu Lin squeezed his hand: "You still want to drink? You'll drink too much later! No drinking! I told you that you want to see the Holy Spirit!"

The two returned to the room and took off their heavy winter coats.

"Shall we wash together?" Li Yunhai asked.

"No, this is your first interview. It should be done more formally."

"Okay, you wash up first, and I'll make a call back."

Li Yunhai turned on the TV in the room and called Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi had been waiting for his call because she didn't know if he was still busy and didn't dare to call his pager.

After receiving the call, Lin Zhi asked impatiently: "Yunhai, how are you?"

Li Yunhai said: "Everything went well, I just returned to the room."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Did you take any photos?"

Li Yunhai was confused for a moment, recalled the scene when he came in, and said, "It seems that Leader Zhuang took the photo. I will ask him tomorrow."

Lin Zhi said: "Great! This photo must also be enlarged and hung in our living room!"

Li Yunhai asked: "Is it snowing in Xizhou?"

Lin Zhi said: "No! Is it snowing in the north?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's snowing so heavily!"

Lin Zhi told him to keep warm, and asked him when he would be back?
Li Yunhai said: "Let me take another look. I will take a walk around the area tomorrow. If nothing happens, I will come back the day after tomorrow."

Lin Zhi said: "If the snow is too heavy and flights and trains are inconvenient, then it's okay for you to stay for two more days."

Li Yunhai said: "I understand. How about Ding Miao and Aunt Guifen? Can they still take care of others?"

Lin Zhi said it was very good, and the food cooked by Aunt Guifen was also very appetizing.

The two chatted on the phone for a long time before reluctantly hanging up.

Zhu Lin washed it for an extra long time this time, for fear that any imperfections might not be washed away, which would affect Li Yunhai's joyful mood when he saw the emperor.

Li Yunhai came out of the shower and found that the TV had been turned off and the headlights in the room were also turned off, leaving only the soft bedside lamp.

His relationship with Zhu Lin developed extremely rapidly.

After all, both of them are not young, so there is no need for much foreshadowing.

Love is like fire, coming quickly and violently.

Love is like dry firewood, it ignites at a moment's notice.

Li Yunhai wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked to the bed.

This is a tourist hotel with very good conditions and a garden view outside the window.Under the illumination of street lights, green trees and white snow complement each other.

Li Yunhai walked over and drew the curtains.

He came to the bedside and looked at the stunning beauty in front of him.

Zhu Lin held his chin and gazed thoughtfully. The tenderness, beauty, and charm were enough to make any gentleman sink.

The famous interlude "Daughter's Love" sounded in Li Yunhai's ears.

Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together, and the spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating.

What about royal power and wealth, and why are you afraid of clear rules?
I just want to be with the one I love forever.

Zhu Lin stretched out his hand towards him.

Li Yunhai held her cold jade hand, slowly leaned down, and kissed the back of her hand first.

Zhu Lin said softly: "Quietly ask Yun Hai, is my sister beautiful?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Beautiful!"

Zhu Lin said with charming eyes: "Isn't it cold outside? Why don't you come in?"

He opened the quilt and got into bed.
