Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 838 Color TV

This was the first time that Chen Changan, who had lived two lives, had a child. He no longer had his usual calmness and composure. He was more like a child, constantly circling around Zhu Ling.

Looking at Chen Changan like a child, Zhu Ling asked with a smile.

"Is it time to give the baby a name?"

"Yes, yes, give it a name."

Chen Changan nodded, it was time to give it a name.

But Chen Changan was troubled again as to what name to give, and he immediately rejected every one he thought of.

Until he went to bed, Chen Changan still couldn't think of a satisfactory name.

The next morning, although Chen Changan was a little tired, he was full of energy.

Li Chenglin at the gate saw Chen Changan with dark circles under his eyes but a smile on his face.

So he came up to her in a mean manner and said in a low voice.

"Director, although you are still young, you should also be moderate.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a spoiled field, only an ox that is worked to death. If you don't exercise some restraint now, you will suffer in a few years.

Haven’t you heard that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger? Don’t let that time pass and you won’t be able to do it. "

Under normal circumstances, Chen Changan would have to have a few verbal exchanges with Li Chenglin.

But today Chen Changan was happy and glanced at Li Chenglin.

"You learned all these skills from me, can't you have some new tricks?

I'm in a good mood today and I don't want to argue with you. Just go do what you need to do."

How could Li Chenglin just leave like this? He said quickly.

"Director, if you have any good news, please tell me. Let me be happy too."

If it were someone else, Chen Changan might still consider it, because Li Chenglin and he have a life-long friendship.

So Chen Changan said with a smile.

"Zhu Ling is pregnant."

"This is a great joyous event. No, I won't let you go just like that.

You have to set up a table in the workers' restaurant, right? Otherwise it would be unreasonable."

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. You don't need this meal. You just got pregnant, and now is the dangerous time. It won't be too late to talk about it after the full month."

Li Chenglin thought about it and agreed. In recent years, the country's foreign exchange reserves have been relatively abundant.

More investment was also made in various hospitals, coupled with the barefoot doctor training led by Chen Changan.

This has reduced the probability of child death to a very low level. In the past few years, giving birth to a child was literally a journey through the gates of hell.

Many pregnant women do not even go to the hospital to give birth, and it is not uncommon to see two deaths at the same time.

The first thing Chen Changan did when he arrived at the factory was to call Hou Yan and the head of the publicity department.

"With the introduction of the color TV production line, our superiors hoped that our automobile factory could build a TV station.

It lays a foundation for the subsequent large-scale construction of TV stations.

Therefore, your Propaganda Department needs to shoulder this responsibility.”

Hou Yan couldn't escape from this matter even if she wanted to, and she couldn't ignore it. After all, she was in charge of the publicity department.

The head of the Propaganda Section was almost crying, looking very embarrassed.

"Director, if you want me to organize an open-air movie or a performance by a cultural troupe, I can do that.

I really know nothing about this TV station. Even if we have the equipment, we have no programs to broadcast.

This radio station is not just about the basics. It just involves finding two people to read a script, tell a story, and invite a few crosstalk performers.

This TV is about showing people, it's totally different from the radio."

"You don't need to worry about this. Communicate with the art troupe and see how many people are willing to work at the factory's TV station.

In the early stage, which is the preparatory work, our superiors will also provide us with some professionals.

In fact, we don’t have many people here. The current popularity of television is still a little bit off. It’s still too early for our TV station to start broadcasting.”

Then Chen Changan said to Hou Yan.

"It is almost impossible for a TV station to make a profit by setting up a separate account for it. It all depends on the investment from the factory.

When the popularity of television increases in the future, there will definitely be places that want to directly acquire our TV station, or even take it away.

When the time comes, show all the lists to the other party. We can’t spend this money in vain.”

Hou Yan nodded, and the matter was settled simply like that.

After an internal election in the Propaganda Department, Zhu Ling was elected director of the automobile factory TV station, responsible for all the preliminary preparatory work for the TV station.

As time went by, Chen Changan and Huang Gong stood at the factory gate waiting despite the scorching sun.

"Director, tell me whether this is urgent or not. We agreed that the production line will be here this morning.

It’s almost lunch time, but there’s not a single person around.”

Chen Changan stood beside Mr. Huang with a helpless look on his face.

"Mr. Huang, I've already told you to say hello to the security guard and then we can go back to the office and wait.

Look at the cigarette butts on the ground. Tell me how many cigarettes you have smoked.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. If you have the time, can't you bring a few people to make some electric fans?"

“What’s so good about making an electric fan? How can that thing compare to a color TV?

I have been studying cathode ray tubes for such a long time, and now I am about to produce a large color TV. How can I not be anxious?

You are the factory manager. How can you not be present at such a big event as the production line entering the factory?"

Okay, Chen Changan didn’t want to say anything more, just treat it as accompanying Mr. Huang.

"Here they come. Here they come. A convoy is coming. The production line has arrived."

Wherever there is Chen Changan, there must be Li Chenglin.

At this time, Li Chenglin also became a lackey and ran out from a distance to greet the arrival of the production line.

At this time, Chen Changan and Mr. Huang had not seen the convoy yet, but Li Chenglin came back on a motorcycle.

With the arrival of the production line, the automobile factory opened a new chapter.

The production of jeeps, pickup trucks, trucks, rice cookers and color TVs has been realized.

On the second day after the automobile factory completed debugging, Uncle Nie brought a group of leaders to the automobile factory for inspection.

After all, the leaders must know what the production line looks like and whether it can produce normally, as it cost 70 million US dollars to buy it.

As the first color television came off the production line, everyone at the scene applauded.

Uncle Nie was even more excited. After all, the color TV in front of him could be said to be the first in the country, which was of historical significance.

"Hurry up and produce a few more. I'm going to report the good news to my superiors.

In addition, black-and-white televisions from several other factories have been rolled out in supply and marketing cooperatives throughout the city.

Your automobile factory's TV station is also about to start broadcasting. When the time comes, I will use the color TV produced by your factory to watch your TV program."

"No problem, come on, Uncle Nie, cooperate with the reporter from our factory TV station, and let's take a photo together."

Xiujuan, who was standing not far away, was recording the scene with a cameraman.

After hearing what Chen Changan said, he quickly directed the cameraman to come over.

Seeing such a scene, Uncle Nie was even happier.

"Great! So you've already prepared for this. When will it start airing? I'll definitely stay in front of the TV to watch your show."
