Chapter 618 A Great Gift

Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian will return to Qingshui County after delivering the "blessing rice". After all, they both have jobs, and a week's vacation is long enough.

Wen Qingsheng, who happened to be on a business trip, also returned to the capital and made an appointment with Li Kaijian for a drink. He also told Li Kaijian about the date of Wen Guohua's wedding and invited Li Kaijian to come and attend the wedding.

Li Kaijian paid great attention to it and asked Li Ye before leaving: "Do you know Xiaoyu's brother? What gifts do you think we should give? I'll be ready when I get back."

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this. I gave Xiaoyu's sister-in-law a big gift. They will definitely be satisfied."

"Big gift?" Li Kaijian was stunned and asked, "What big gift did you give me?"

Li Ye smiled lightly and said: "It's a great gift to show your face in front of a big boss. This time Pei Wencong came from Hong Kong Island because of this."

"."

. . . . . . .

At five o'clock in the afternoon the next day after Li Kaijian left, Li Ye and Pei Wencong followed Pan Xiaoying's invitation and came to a post office affiliated with the Beijing post and telecommunications system.

What was once an ordinary post and telecommunications office is now closed, and no one is allowed in without an invitation.

Pei Wencong and Li Ye were led into the conference room, and they felt in a trance as soon as they entered the door.

The spacious conference room was modified. A dozen pieces of communication equipment were neatly placed at the front. Dozens of telecommunications staff stood there with their hands down, as if they were soldiers waiting for a review.

After Pei Wencong was settled, he whispered to Li Ye: "Looking like this makes me a little nervous. I thought it wouldn't be such a grand event this time."

Li Ye whispered: "This is a historic moment. As a contributor, you should feel honored now."

Pei Wencong said quickly: "No, no, no, I just did something trivial."

It turned out that after Li Ye suggested to Pan Xiaoying that the mainland should be connected to the other side of the Taiwan Strait through "overseas bypass", Pan Xiaoying submitted a corresponding plan application to the superiors, and it was quickly approved.

Then there is the technical preparation. Factory 506 has a joint venture with Pengcheng Fengyu Company, and Pei Wencong has shares in Pengcheng Fengyu, so it is logical that he needs to contribute.

So Pei Wencong made a series of preparations before the connection through the channels of Hong Kong Island and detoured overseas. Whether it will succeed or not depends on today.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, some big shots arrived at the scene, not only from the postal and telecommunications system, but also from the United Front System. The scene was quite big.

Of course, there are also reporters who report on it.

As the on-site commentator and the "team leader" responsible for technical operations, Pan Xiaoying was certainly the most eye-catching member of the scene.

"Report XX that everything is ready. Please give instructions whether to start the process."

"It's time to start!"

In the eyes of Li Ye, who came from a later generation, the opening ceremony with mainland characteristics felt somewhat "formal", but it was undeniable that after this set of questions and answers, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Especially when dozens of telecommunications personnel reported one by one that "XX Bureau is ready and everything is normal" and "XX Group is fine", Li Ye seemed to smell a little bit of chilling in the conference room.

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye solemnly, wanting to say something, but did not speak due to the atmosphere at the scene.

Li Ye nodded slightly at him, indicating that he felt the same way.

If you are in a developed overseas country today, if you want to call a phone across the Taiwan Strait, you may just press a few numbers. But now that the mainland has just started program-controlled upgrades, I don’t know if the problems encountered will happen in the future. Which link appears.

In order to ensure this "simple" call, I don't know how many relevant technical personnel are guarding the line thousands of miles apart at this moment.

This is also the reason why Pei Wencong is solemn.

The Mainland in the 1980s was indeed backward, but if they wanted to do something, the manpower they could mobilize could number in the tens of thousands, which was unimaginable for people in small places.

After the technical department confirmed that there was no problem, Pan Xiaoying took out a phone number, handed it to the highest-ranking boss at the scene, and asked him to choose one.

And those phone numbers were all "reliable Taiwan compatriots" that Pei Wencong had researched with Pan Xiaoying's team in advance, such as Mr. Gu Long's disciples, Mr. Wen Ruian's friends, etc.

But the boss looked at those numbers and asked in a deep voice: "Have you contacted these people in advance? What's their situation?"

"."

Many people in the postal and telecommunications system were stunned, not understanding what the boss meant specifically.

There is a habit in the Mainland that before the so-called "first time", there is usually a "trial run" to ensure that there will be no rollover when the boss arrives.

For example, when a certain production line is officially started, this kind of operation is done, but now the boss asks this, how should you answer?

Does the other party hate this deliberate arrangement?

Pan Xiaoying had an idea and remembered what Li Ye said.

So she carefully suggested to the boss: "If you feel that these numbers are inappropriate, you can dial one at random. In that case, you can more truly understand the true attitude of the grassroots people over there towards us."

"Dial a random number?"

The boss pondered for two seconds, nodded with a smile, then changed a few digits according to the phone number on the phone bill, and reported a number.

Pan Xiaoying immediately asked her team members to try to dial.

And all the people around were sweating, because no one knew whether this number could be dialed through, and after dialing through, they didn't know whether the person on the other end had good intentions towards the mainland.

"Beep~beep~beep"

The phone actually rang, and the number that the boss temporarily wrote was not an empty number.

Everyone's heart was full of expectations, hoping that someone on the other side would answer the phone.

This is also the reason why six o'clock in the afternoon was chosen, six o'clock is the time for dinner.

"Hello? Who is it?"

An old voice was transmitted to the conference room in Beijing through the current, and also to the ears of everyone present.

Li Ye saw Pan Xiaoying clenched her fists, obviously very excited.

At this moment, her plan has been 90% successful, and whether it can be completed is just around the corner.

"Hello? Hello? Who is it?"

Pan Xiaoying glanced at the boss, and the boss nodded, indicating that she should speak.

Pan Xiaoying took a breath and asked softly: "Excuse me, is your place Taibei?"

"."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, not knowing whether it was because of Pan Xiaoying's tone or her standard Mandarin.

After a few seconds, the other end of the phone spoke again: "Where is it?"

Pan Xiaoying said word by word: "I am in Beijing."

"Danglanglang~"

The sound of something falling came from the phone, and it was obvious that the old man on the other end was emotionally fluctuating.

Just when everyone thought that the other side would be busy for a while, a hurried voice came from the other side.

"Can you do me a favor? Hello? Are you still there?"

Pan Xiaoying immediately turned around and looked at the boss, and the boss nodded immediately.

"Excuse me, what can you do for me?"

"Help me. Go and see if my mother is still alive."

"."

In the conference room with hundreds of people, there was silence.

Everyone heard the suppressed pleading and anxious waiting from the old man's crying words.

The boss spoke up: "Promise him that as long as he has the address, I will help him find the person."

Pan Xiaoying quickly said: "May I ask where your mother's address is? Please speak slowly so that I can get someone from Hunan Province to talk to you, because I can't hear the address you said clearly."

The scene immediately became active, and many people's hearts were concerned about the old man on the other end of the phone.

Everyone knows that people can be found, but it is not certain whether they are alive.
