Of course, this aspect must be looked at in two parts.
One is the horseshoe watch used to control time, and the other is the wire connecting the watch to the explosives.
Let’s talk about the horseshoe watch first. This is a horseshoe watch made in Switzerland, or it would be more accurate to call it a small alarm clock. The brand is Omega.
Although at that time in Shanghai, Ningbo and other places in China, there were already Meihuali clock-making factories and large and small watch workshops or shops run by Chinese people. However, due to limited technology and craftsmanship, they could only simply produce some table clocks or clocks.
Pocket watch.
In China at that time, it was not possible to find a domestically produced clock that could compete with Swiss clocks.
So when Yong Ming opened the carton and saw the small Omega alarm clock tied to the bomb, he knew in his heart that the manufacturer of this time bomb must be the first to accept foreign technology and strengthen light industrial production.
In the north, in terms of market environment and people's thinking, the south pioneered the Chinese style.
This person is relatively familiar with the watch industry and knows what kind of watches can be used as bomb timers. He does not blindly choose watches from some European and American brands to use.
This is because Omega watches produced in Switzerland have always been famous for their accurate timekeeping.
Since 1919, Omega watches have continuously won the Swiss Observatory’s clock accuracy competitions and repeatedly set records for clock accuracy around the world.
Using such an accurate clock as a bomb timer, once the scheduled time to activate the bomb is set, there will indeed be no error.
Let's talk about the wires connecting the timer and the explosives. The wires made of this material must be produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There is no such power wire in Anqiu.
Moreover, the wire used in this time bomb is still the best quality wire, and the diameter of the wire is also relatively large among civilian wires.
At that time, this kind of conductive wire could only be produced in southern China, and Yong Ming was very aware of this situation.
All these circumstances indicate that this time bomb was manufactured in southern China, but it cannot be determined that the bomb maker must be from the south.
The information contained in this time bomb itself can provide Yong Ming with some clues for analysis and judgment, but it is also limited.
Don't underestimate these limited clues. The bomb material and parts alone let Yong Ming know that this "assassination operation" against him was the result of internal and external collusion.
Without the secret snooping and reporting from the Yong clan, it would be impossible to know his daily whereabouts and corresponding activity times.
Without these two conditions as the basis for action, it would be impossible to discuss and formulate an "assassination plan" for yourself.
Without the participation and discussion of external experienced people, it would be impossible to have an accurate and detailed "assassination plan" and prepare for all the details of the "assassination operation".
These are interlocking things, each of which is indispensable.
Compared with plans and actions, no one is more important. All parties involved in the actions are important and indispensable.
Because according to the regulations of the Yong family's office area, anyone who visits without the clan leader's approval in advance, no matter what your status is, will not be able to enter the core area of the Yong family's office area.
This is the regulation that the Yong clan chief's office promulgated and implemented on the third day after Yong Ming took over the Yong clan, adhering to Yong Ming's intention. It has been two years since then.
This regulation is implemented by the "Flying Dragon Team" and supervised by the Yong clan chief's office.
As a result, a protective circle was formed around the Yong family's office area, protecting the entire office area, which was as important as the "brain" of the Yong family.
During office hours every day, visitors who have not registered in advance will not be able to enter the Yong family's internal office area.
If someone tries to force his way in, he will be captured unceremoniously by members of the "Flying Dragon Team" and then sent out.
If a serious physical conflict occurs during the process of trying to break through and enter the office area, the relevant persons will be detained by the "Flying Dragon Team".
After questioning, if the conflict is simply a misunderstanding, such a person will generally be released.
However, if during the interrogation process, the "Flying Dragon Team" discovers that there is something wrong with the person who broke through the barrier, they will immediately enter the interrogation phase to find out the person's true purpose, and then report it to their superiors for further processing.
A situation like this has never happened in the past two years.
On the contrary, in the first six months after the implementation of this regulation, there were many disputes and conflicts caused by not understanding the regulations, but they were quickly mediated and did not cause any bad effects.
After passing the familiarization and adjustment period of the implementation of the regulations, everyone who visits the Yong family office area for business has adapted to this regulation.
Every time before they want to come here to do business, they will submit a special application to the Yong clan chief's office a few days in advance, explaining their purpose of coming, the content of the specific matters to be handled, and the specific time of the visit.
After knowing clearly that his application has been approved, he will come to the Yong family's office area at the agreed time to handle relevant matters or negotiate some matters.
Most of these matters are chores, mainly involving things such as shop leasing, tax payment, rent payment, business cooperation and seeking sponsorship.
Although there are almost no people who come to the office area to look for Yong Ming, Yong Ming still has a lot of considerations when he specially asked people to compile and formulate the management regulations for the office area.
The most important one is that the Yong family's office area must not be allowed to become a free place where people come and go and there is no management.
Today's society is no different than in the past. In the past, people had less mobility, so everyone's horizons were not broad, they didn't know much about the outside world, and they didn't have too many thoughts.
However, since the founding of the Republic of China, various ideological trends have emerged in society, and people's thoughts are no longer as simple and calm as before.
The thoughts of many people, especially young people who have received new education, who have left their hometowns to go out for a while, and come back again, have a tendency to become stagnant and gradually become active.
Another significant change that shows the progress of society is that the gradual popularization of modern transportation has accelerated the pace of life and work in the entire society.
With the emergence of a large number of transportation vehicles such as freight trucks, cars, long-distance buses, trains and ships, it has really improved a lot compared to the previous inefficient "slow era" of oxen and horseback.
