"Mr. Fan, today's newspaper." An apprentice from the clothing factory smiled and took a stack of newspapers to Fan Wubing's office.
It was October 1982. Fan Wubing is now seven years old, but his body is like a crop that has induced fertilizers, rising rapidly. His fifteen-year-old brother Fan Kang is not very tall, but compared with Fan Wubing, his advantage is not very big. At this time, Fan Wubing was about 1.6 meters tall, and he looked quite like an adult. In addition, his mind was extremely mature and he has been in a "high position" in recent years. Naturally, he has a turtle-like spirit that is not angry and prestige, and he looks a bit like a leader.
Fan Wubing now has three offices, one is on the pig farm, one is on the clothing factory, and the other is naturally his home. However, he usually hides at home and doesn’t come out. He only comes to the clothing factory or pig farm after school or weekends to see if there are any questions that need guidance. After all, his career foundation is here, so it is impossible not to care more.
As for the family, of course, only the three Wang brothers would come to visit occasionally. Master Feng and Master Cheng from the clothing factory are old and take into account their own identities. Of course, they will not come to the house. At most, when there is something to do, they will send an apprentice to call Fan Wubing and ask him to go directly to the clothing factory to deal with it.
In the past, Fan Wubing would read newspapers brought back by Fan Heng at home, such as the People's Daily, the People's Liberation Army Daily, and Guangming Daily. The news was relatively simple. Since his own entity became bigger and bigger, he has not limited to reading these news mouthpieces and public opinion guidance, but went directly to the post office to select dozens of the most influential newspapers at that time, and ordered two of them!
Not only that, Fan Wubing also opened a reading room in the clothing factory to store newspapers and open it to the employees. Of course, after all the newspapers were delivered, one of them was entered into the reading room, and the other was delivered directly to Fan Wubing. Through browsing and analyzing these print news, it was still possible to grasp the pulse of the times.
Fan Wubing does not only rely on the important events he learned before he was reborn to eat and drink, but strives to consider deeply in various social phenomena. If he did not live a resuming life and encountered various situations, how should he deal with it?
Reading makes people smart. Over time, Fan Wubing can often capture some sensitive information between the lines of a certain news or an editorial. Although it is so inconspicuous, he knows how much impact this information will have on the lives of the people.
For example, the news published in a local newspaper today has boosted his spirit.
The newspaper said that residents in Changchun are keen on growing Clivia, and Clivia has gradually become popular. The article also expresses the author's feelings for praising the better life of the new society through the expressions of orchids in ancient poems. There are also some detailed digital descriptions to confirm the hot market of Clivia in Changchun, and said that the Changchun Municipal Government intends to define Clivia as a city flower.
"This matter is finally going to happen--" Fan Wubing's expression was a little uneasy.
After looking through it, I found more interesting problems in some tabloids.
It is said that a foreign businessman raised a Clivia was bought by a foreign businessman and offered $10,000 to buy it; it is said that a Hong Kong businessman wanted to exchange a "world-recognized super luxury high-end crown sedan" for a pot of Clivia named "Feng Crown", but was rejected by his owner Guo Fengyi, the manager of a flower company. It is said that an old man raised several precious Clivia varieties, which were not seen by people, but was stolen one night, and he died immediately; it is said that a man drove a long distance from Chenyang to Changchun to steal flowers, and after succeeding, he returned overnight, and finally fled in a hurry and fell to death.
Stories like this are renovated, manufactured, and fermented every day. Each has a name, a name, a nose and an eye.
The local media in Changchun are also fueling the fire, and have published articles in succession saying that Clivia is good, with elegant character, a gentleman among flowers, keeping it at home can refresh the air in the home, nourish people's face, be good for health, etc.
Originally, flowers that cost a few yuan a pot of flowers rose up day by day, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of yuan. At that time, the wages of ordinary workers were only about thirty or forty yuan. If they raised a pot of Clivia and sold hundreds or thousands of yuan, they would undoubtedly make a fortune.
After reading the newspaper, Fan Wubing gently rubbed his forehead, feeling a little worried.
Over the past few years, the improvement of material life seems to exceed people's original humble luxury. More and more household appliances are appearing in urban shopping malls. Washing machines made in China only three years ago have reached a production of 2 million units by the end of the year, and the total number of TVs has reached 10 million units. The demand for refrigerators has also shown a surge in growth. A few years ago, the three major items of newlywed families were "bicycles, sewing machines, and watches", but now they have become the "new three major items", TVs, washing machines and refrigerators.
Even if Fan Wubing was not reborn, he could have predicted that the demand for home appliances will directly ignite the Chinese electric heating industry for more than ten years. Because the technical requirements of these products are not high, those companies that awaken first, including the weak among state-owned companies and private companies, will find gaps in development. Some home appliance companies that will be in a precarious future will make a debut within the past two years and make their debut.
However, whether it is Panasonic TV, Toshiba refrigerator or Coca-Cola, these things triggered a rush to buy, which is understandable by Fan Wubing, but it is hard to understand. This year, it has occupied everyone's attention. It is like crazy, but it is this tall ornamental plant with a gentle and elegant scent.
Changchun people have always had the custom of planting Clivia, but no one has ever regarded it as precious. However, under the secret promotion of some or some unknown interest gang, this very ordinary flower actually sold for gold.
