Chapter 27 The Opportunity Comes
"President Fan, today's newspaper." An apprentice in the garment factory smiled and took a stack of newspapers and sent them to Fan Wubing's office.
It was already October of 1982. Fan Wubing was now seven years old, but his body was growing like a crop that had been fertilized. The height of his fifteen-year-old brother Fan Kang It's not low, but compared with Fan Wubing, the advantage is not very big. At this time, Fan Wubing is about 1.6 meters tall, and he looks like an adult. In addition, his mind is very mature. Having been in a "high position" for several years, he naturally has a kind of bastard air that is not angry with prestige, and it seems that he really has a bit of leadership style.
Fan Wubing now has three offices in total, one is at the pig farm, the other is at the garment factory, and the other is naturally his home, but he usually stays at home and cannot come out. Only after school or on weekends, would I come to the garment factory or pig farm to see if there are any problems that need to be pointed out. After all, my career foundation is here, so it is impossible not to add more care about.
As for the home, of course only the three Wang brothers would come to visit occasionally. Master Feng and Master Cheng at the clothing factory are older and care about their own identities, so of course they would not come. When it is time, send an apprentice over to call Fan Wubing, and let him go directly to the garment factory to deal with it.
In the past, Fan Wubing used to read the newspapers brought back by Fan Heng at home, such as People’s Daily, People’s Liberation Army Daily, Guangming Daily and other big newspapers. When he grew up, he was no longer limited to reading these news mouthpieces and public opinion guides, but went directly to the post office to select dozens of the most influential newspapers at that time, and ordered two copies of them all!
Not only that, Fan Wubing also opened a special reading room in the garment factory to store newspapers and open it to the employees. Of course, after all the newspapers were delivered, one of them went into the reading room, and the other one went into the reading room. It was sent directly to Fan Wubing. Through browsing and analyzing these print news, it is still possible to grasp the pulse of the times.
Fan Wubing didn't just rely on the important events he learned before he was reborn to eat and drink, but tried to think deeply about various social phenomena. In such a situation, how should we deal with it?
Reading makes people smart, and over time, Fan Wubing can always catch some sensitive information between the lines of a certain piece of news or an editorial. What a big impact.
For example, the news published in a local newspaper today lifted his spirits.
The newspaper stated that the residents of Changchun area are keen on planting Clivia, which has gradually become popular. The article also expresses the author's feelings of praising the beautiful life in the new society through the expression of orchids in ancient poems, some of which are detailed. The number of Clivia is shown to confirm the fiery market of Clivia in Changchun, and it is said that the Changchun Municipal Government intends to designate Clivia as a city flower.
"This matter is finally going to happen—" Fan Wubing's expression was a little restless.
Looking through it again, I found more interesting questions in some tabloids.
It is said that the Clivia plant raised by a trader was favored by some foreign businessman and bought it for US$10,000; it is said that a Hong Kong businessman wanted to exchange a pot named "Phoenix Crown" with a "super-luxury high-end car recognized in the world". Clivia, but was rejected on the spot by the owner Guo Fengyi, the manager of a flower company; it is said that an old man raised several precious Clivia varieties, and kept them from being seen alive, but was stolen by someone one night, and he died of anger immediately It is said that there was a person who drove a long distance from Shenyang to Changchun to steal flowers, and returned overnight after he succeeded, and finally died in a car overturned while fleeing in a hurry——
Stories like this are being refurbished, manufactured, and fermented every day,
Each has a name and a surname, a nose and an eye.
The local media in Changchun also contributed to the flames, publishing numerous articles saying that Clivia is good, elegant, and a gentleman among flowers. Putting it at home can refresh the air in the home, improve people's appearance, and benefit health, etc.
Originally a few yuan a pot of flowers soared day by day, hundreds of yuan, thousands of yuan, tens of thousands of yuan, but at that time, the wages of ordinary workers were only about 30 to 40 yuan. Selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars is undoubtedly a fortune.
After reading the newspaper, Fan Wubing gently rubbed his forehead, feeling a little worried.
For several years, the improvement of material life seemed to exceed people's original humble hopes. There are more and more household electrical appliances appearing in shopping malls in cities. The washing machine, which was only manufactured in China three years ago, has reached two million units by the end of the year. The total number of TV sets has reached 10 million units. The demand for refrigerators has also increased Blowout growth, a few years ago, the three major items of a newlywed family were "bicycles, sewing machines, and watches", but now it has become the "new three major items", TV sets, washing machines and refrigerators.
Even if Fan Wubing is not reborn, he can predict that the demand for home appliances will directly detonate the Chinese home appliance craze that lasted for more than ten years. Because the technical requirements of these products are not high, those who wake up first Enterprises, including weak ones in state-owned companies and private enterprises, will find gaps in their development, and some home appliance companies that will be popular in the future will make their debut in the next two years.
However, whether it is Panasonic TV, Toshiba refrigerator or Coca-Cola, Fan Wubing can understand why these things trigger everyone's panic buying frenzy, but it is unthinkable that this year has captured everyone's attention, raging like crazy , but it is this kind of ornamental plant with tall shape and elegant smell.
People in Changchun have always had the custom of planting Clivia, but no one has ever regarded it as precious. However, under the secret promotion of one or some unknown interest groups, this very common flower was actually sold for a gold price.
"Alas! It's like the stock market in 2007. After the madness, it will inevitably perish. It depends on who is willing to stay there to take over!" After Fan Wubing sighed pitifully, he quickly put away the newspaper and went directly to the pig farm.
