Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

A few days later, Qin Jingru was discharged from the hospital, and Sha Zhu intentionally or unintentionally wanted to run into Xu Damao, preparing to take the opportunity to attack him.

But Xu Damao had predicted his moves in advance and simply didn't give him any chances, so he could always avoid him easily.

This made Shazhu very crazy. He felt like he was punching cotton and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

After a period of time, because there was no opportunity, it gradually came to nothing.

……

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was late autumn and the weather was getting cooler.

Ten days ago, the first batch of 15 antennas were transported to the international metropolis - Hong Kong Island through the Port of Jinshi.

And today, this batch of goods carrying the hopes of the Chinese people has arrived at the designated warehouse.

In a luxurious villa in Happy Valley, Wan Chai District, Hong Kong Island.

A young man wearing glasses was reporting the situation seriously to a middle-aged man with a dignified face.

"Dad, the goods from the north just arrived at the warehouse today. What should we do next?"

"Proceed as planned. Zhenting, contact Rediffusion Television and place the advertisement tonight. At the same time, action must also be taken in Southeast Asia..."

The man with the dignified face was still speaking, and the young man with glasses nodded from time to time.

If Sun Zhengguo were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize that this father and son were the famous patriots, the Huo family father and son.

The man with the dignified face is Mr. Huo Yingdong, and the young man next to him is his eldest son Huo Zhenting.

After Mr. Huo finished speaking, Mr. Huo still had a lot of questions, so he asked weakly.

"Dad, this antenna doesn't seem to have much technological content, but it's so expensive. Do you think anyone would buy it?"

"Ah~!" Mr. Huo sighed deeply, "It's because the North lacks foreign exchange, so it's okay if it's expensive! Do your best and leave the rest to fate. There will always be people who are not short of money and will buy it."

"Is it worth it? Daddy, aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will suppress our Huo family?" Master Huo gave a timely reminder.

Who knew that it would be better if he didn't say anything, but once the suppression was mentioned, Mr. Huo was like an angry lion and shouted angrily.

"Zhen Ting, you forgot what I said again. If I don't help, will those foreigners stop suppressing us? Don't forget where our roots are."

"Yes, yes, Daddy taught me that."

Seeing his father angry, Master Huo couldn't stand it and kept admitting his mistakes.

Afterwards he didn't dare to ask any more questions and started making arrangements according to his father's wishes.

That night, every family in Hong Kong with a television could see the antenna advertisement when they turned on the TV.

Although the advertisements sound good and technology can change lives, there is no one who actually wants to buy it.

Because there was only one television station in Hong Kong Island at that time, and it used cable transmission technology, there was no need for an antenna at all.

I'm afraid that if you want to use an antenna, you'll have to wait another two years, until wireless TV stations start broadcasting, and then it will be useful.

Neither the Fok family nor their sons quite understood this, so the advertising in Hong Kong was in vain.

Sun Zhengguo was also unaware of all this and was still waiting for news foolishly!

Half a month later, the Ministry of Commerce was the first to receive the news that antenna sales were sluggish.

Sales in Hong Kong Island were almost zero, and more than a thousand sticks were sold, almost all in Southeast Asia.

The news was then passed to the General Office. After Deputy Director Yu received the news, he immediately met with General Lai.

"Boss Lai, the sales of antennas in Hong Kong Island are not good. Take a look. Here are the sales data."

Upon hearing this, Lai Zong quickly took the data sheet and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, he put down the data sheet and asked with a serious expression.

"Do you know what the problem is? After all, we can sell them here. Could it be that some countries abroad are even poorer than us?"

"No, Mr. Lai, I heard from the comrades in the Ministry of Commerce that Hong Kong Island seems to be using some cable transmission technology, which cannot be used for the time being." Deputy Director Yu quickly explained.

To be honest, he doesn't understand anything about cable transmission technology.

"This should be due to information gap. Comrade Zhengguo has never been abroad, so how could he know this? But it doesn't matter if we can't sell it. At worst, we can just bring it back and sell it in our country."

Mr. Lai comforted himself for a while and then gave new instructions.

"Comrade Changyuan, we can't be impatient and put pressure on Comrade Zhengguo. So, you go to the research institute first, explain the sales situation to him, and ask for his opinion. If it doesn't work, bring it back."

"Okay, Mr. Lai, I'll go right away."

Deputy Director Yu didn't bother to be rude and hurriedly left the office after he finished speaking.

Then he didn't even go back to his office, but got in a car and drove towards the research institute.

This shows that he was also quite anxious.

……

At the research institute, Sun Zhengguo didn't know that there was a problem with sales.

At this time, he was still discussing with the cadres of the branch factory how to increase production.

Neither Li Shengli nor Zhou Weimin said anything, but Zhang Huaibei looked at the inventory on the warehouse list and finally couldn't help it.

"Director Sun, we have another 5 antennas piled up in our warehouse. Why don't we send some to China first? We are being urged to do so everywhere, and we don't know what the situation is overseas. What do you think?"

After listening to Zhang Huaibei's suggestion, Sun Zhengguo did not refute it this time.

How come it’s been so long since the goods from Hong Kong were sent out, but there’s still no news?

Several times he couldn't help but want to call and ask, but in the end he didn't.

Because he believed that once there was any news, the higher authorities would definitely inform him.

Therefore, he had no idea what had gone wrong.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't we wait a few days and see how the sales are going overseas before making a decision."

"Oh~! Okay! Then wait two more days." Zhang Huaibei shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, he is not very worried now. Even if overseas sales are not good, there are still domestic sales!

"Okay, everyone, have confidence. Production will continue. Let's go!"

After the few people reached a consensus, Sun Zhengguo gave a symbolic word of encouragement and prepared to leave.

Just at this moment, Deputy Director Yu walked in without warning.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I hope I didn't disturb you. I have no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have just barged in."

Deputy Director Yu's sudden arrival caught the people in the room off guard, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

Because it was not difficult to hear from his words that his sudden visit this time was definitely not a good thing.

As the head of the institute, Sun Zhengguo had no choice but to be the first to come forward.

"Deputy Director Yu is here, we can't wait to welcome you! Why are you disturbing us? Please take a seat."

……

After a few people shook hands and greeted each other, Deputy Director Yu didn't even bother to drink his tea, and took out the sales data sheet from his briefcase.
