Chapter 619: Begging for Alms (Please Take a Leave to Update)

"Mr. Liu, due to time constraints today, we will hang up the phone first. We will look for your and other compatriots' relatives as soon as possible. Please wait for our news."

"Thank you, thank you. I know the situation is difficult now. I just hope that if my mother is still alive, you must tell my mother that the mistress is still alive."

"Okay, Mr. Liu, goodbye. Please take care of yourself and wait for the day when we are reunited."

Pan Xiaoying finished speaking patiently, and then gently hung up the phone receiver.

At this moment, her forehead and palms were covered with sweat, as if she had been engaged in a fierce battle.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah~"

The conference room, which had been silent just now, burst into intense and intense applause.

The two big guys took the lead in applauding, congratulating this transoceanic call on its complete success and congratulating it on a breakthrough in cross-strait relations.

Li Ye also applauded, feeling filled with emotion.

Decades from now, in an era when "everyone on earth knows how to fight fraud," if someone calls from overseas and you don't hang up for three seconds, the risk of being defrauded will increase by 200%.

But on this day in 1985, a randomly dialed transoceanic phone call convinced the person who answered the phone that the call lasted for half an hour before reluctantly hanging up.

The reason is that the group of people who ran from the mainland to the other side of the Taiwan Strait are still alive.

After Liu Xunzhang reported the name and address of his old mother, he also reported the hometown addresses of several compatriots and asked Pan Xiaoying to help find out the information.

These people's longing and concern for their hometown are unmatched by those decades later.

As long as this group of people is not dead, it will not be the turn of those clowns to perform on stage.

It’s just that it hasn’t been long.

The Taiwan compatriot named "Liu Xunzhang" was only twenty-five when he crossed the sea, and he is now sixty-one years old. The other people who arrived on the other side with him and are still alive are already over seventy. .

I wonder if these people would be so angry that they would jump out of the coffin if they knew how messy things would be in a few decades.

After the applause ended, several big bosses gave speeches, speaking highly of the telecommunications staff at the scene, and even praised Pan Xiaoying.

But Pan Xiaoying's performance surprised Li Ye.

She was not greedy for credit, but said modestly: "Actually, I was inspired by several people in the cultural circles to make this plan."

"This is Mr. Pei Wencong. He is the person in charge of Talang Literary Publishing House in Hong Kong. He has been committed to the "Thousands of Miles Searching for Relatives" activity since five years ago.

We have successfully contacted hundreds of overseas Chinese with their families, and this time we have provided financial and technical support."

"This is Li Ye. He also has a pen name: Seven-Inch Blade. When he was attending the film festival in Tokyo, he learned about the distress and homesickness of his compatriots who were also attending the film festival."

Pan Xiaoying actually showed off Pei Wencong and Li Ye, and then the boss shook hands with the two of them warmly.

Seeing that several reporters nearby had already found an angle and started taking pictures, even though Li Ye had the blessing of a reborn bug, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. As for Pei Wencong, he was even more excited.

"This is what I should do, and it is what I should do for the sake of the reunion of the motherland."

"Although the family does not speak the same language, we still want to thank Mr. Pei for his generosity."

The boss gave a few gentle words of encouragement, and looked at Li Ye one more time before leaving.

Maybe he thinks that although this Li Ye is young, he is different!

After the big boss left, the scene suddenly became lively.

Pei Wencong excitedly said to Li Ye: "I thought it was just a small thing, but now I feel it is so meaningful."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Do you think there are some things that are more interesting to do than making money?"

"It's meaningful, not interesting. How can we say it's interesting when a family reunion is such a big event?"

Pei Wencong had a rare argument with Li Ye and corrected Li Ye's "speech problem."

Li Ye smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are right. If you want to do more meaningful things, you can contact Guangxi Film Factory to help their "Battle of Taierzhuang" be released on Hong Kong Island earlier. "

"Okay, I will contact them as soon as possible and keep it on my side. Now they all have to give me some face."

Pei Wencong agreed without thinking, which made Li Ye very pleased.

Pei Wencong used to be not enthusiastic about the issue of "reunion", but with in-depth contact with the mainland, he has gradually been influenced into a staunch "reunion fan".

"What are you talking about so lively?"

Pei Wencong was chatting in a low voice with Li Ye when Dashen Ni came over, followed by a middle-aged man in military uniform.

Dashen Ni came here today to provide technical support. He was busy for a long time before he said his first words to Li Ye.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Mr. Ni, you are asking questions knowingly. What else can we talk about at this time? It's the same as everyone else! This is"

Since Master Ni brought this middle-aged man here, he must have wanted to introduce each other, but Pei Wencong had never been in contact with active military personnel from the mainland, so he was a little nervous.

Moreover, looking at the epaulettes of this soldier, it turned out to be only 23 cents, and his military rank was not low.

So Li Ye asked first. After all, in the minds of overseas people, mainlanders and mainland soldiers are not the same people.

If everyone speaks openly, won't it be clear?

"This is Lao Bu, Bu Qingjun, a friend of my friend. He happened to go to the 506 factory to learn about some technical issues these days, and came to see me by the way."

"Oh, Colonel Bu, hello, hello."

Pei Wencong smiled and shook hands with the other party, and then began to greet.

But Li Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.

Even without checking the biological hard drive, Li Ye knew who this two-cent three was.

His name may not be as loud as Ni Dashen, but his contribution is not small at all, because he is one of the founders of the research and development of the Beidou satellite navigation system project in the mainland in the future, a real big shot.

In 1983, Korean Air Flight 007 took off from New York and strangely strayed into the airspace over the Soviet Union.

The sky was dark, and the Soviet army fired warning shots, but the passenger plane did not notice it. When it was about to fly out of the Soviet airspace, it was shot down by a missile.

When the news came out, the world was shocked. The Cold War was thick, and the United States and the Soviet Union suppressed their anger and waited for the results of the black box investigation.

The results showed that the plane broke into the airspace due to a geomagnetic navigation failure. In the same year, US President Reagan decided to open the GPS system under construction to global civilian use.

For the first time, ordinary people can clearly know where they are on the planet, and this year, the Chinese person in charge was able to participate in the US GPS seminar, and this person in charge was this old Bu.

And the 506 factory where Master Ni just transferred has been doing research in radio, so it is reasonable that Old Bu knew about technical issues in the past.

"Mr. Bu, what is the specific communication research project you are talking about? If I don't know anything, it will be difficult to invest in you, because there is no feasible project and it cannot be passed by the board of directors."

"It is mainly research in the direction of wireless communications. I heard from Old Ni that you are going to develop mobile phones in the future, right! Then we can share some research results."

"This"

As Pei Wencong greeted the other party, Li Ye couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and a little sad.

Because Old Bu's purpose today was to beg for alms.

And Pei Wencong had to refuse because the other party revealed too little.

Of course, whether from a business perspective or from the current social atmosphere, Pei Wencong's decision is fine.

Don't be too busy begging for alms under various banners and then squandering privately.

Li Ye interrupted the conversation between the two parties and said with a smile: "It's hard to explain the technical matters, so let's talk about something else first!"

"."

Ni Dashen and Lao Bu looked at Li Ye helplessly. It was not easy to talk, and you kid interrupted. Is there anything else to talk about?

However, Li Ye immediately said: "In fact, from my understanding of mainland research institutions, there is no shortage of talents and confidence, but some other conditions are really simple, such as the income of scientific researchers is too low, and they can't solve housing problems, etc."

"Mr. Pei, you can donate a few scientific research dormitory buildings first to improve the lives of scientific researchers!"

The eyes of Ni Dashen and Lao Bu changed, and became weird.

If we are begging for alms, then you are...robbing money, right?

But Li Ye knew that a few years later, the Beidou project was finally approved. Lao Bu went to Harbin Institute of Technology to recruit doctoral students, but he was embarrassed by one sentence.

"How much salary? Can you provide housing?"

It's okay if the salary is not high, but how can you live without housing? How can you get married?

Hens need a nest to lay eggs!

Beidou's level of project costs astronomical amounts of money, and the bulk of it must be promoted by the state, but Li Ye can still afford the money to build a nest.
