Chapter 230: Hitchhiking
It is natural for young people to admire Ai. Liang Wensheng is usually bold and thick-skinned, but he feels uneasy and not good at speaking in front of Zhao Jiamin.
"What am I afraid of? Forget it in this kind of situation. Didn't you see how gloomy Director Guo's face was just now..." Liang Wensheng whispered.
Shu Yang is a typical dog-headed military strategist type of person, who enjoys watching the fun and making trouble. "There are only a few days left. Once the exhibition is over, there will be no chance..."
Liang Wensheng didn't say anything. Several people at the scene began to walk towards the conference room. There were so many of them that the ordinary negotiation room could not accommodate them all.
Qiu Huoming was sitting in the rest area, having only read one-third of a book. He had played with walkie-talkies when driving with his friends before, but later on, the controls became stricter and required verification, so he simply dismantled the walkie-talkies.
The components in the walkie-talkie were assembled in a modular way, and the integrated circuit board was multi-layered, so it could be used directly after being assembled. It was nothing like now, where even high-frequency transistors had to be purchased by someone else...
Nowadays, radio enthusiasts subscribe to a magazine called "Radio". They can buy some materials on behalf of others. Many people's knowledge of semiconductors started from here...
He didn't know how much time had passed before he felt hungry. He looked at the time and it was time for dinner.
Qiu Huoming stood up and looked around. Zhao Jiamin and the others had not returned yet.
He touched his stomach, put the book away, then walked out and got the meal ticket from Brother Chen.
Brother Chen is the staff member who is usually responsible for connecting with students.
"Brother Chen, why haven't my classmates come back yet?" Qiu Huoming asked after collecting the meal tickets.
"I don't know about that. None of them asked me for meal tickets..."
Qiu Huoming thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's still busy."
After waiting for a while, they still didn't show up, so Qiu Huoming turned and walked towards the cafeteria.
I don’t feel anything usually, but today I’m alone and I still feel a little lonely.
As he was walking, someone caught up with him from behind. Zhang Song put his hand on his shoulder, panting, "Finally I caught up with you. Zhen Xin and the others didn't want to play with me. We are all classmates, but we always form small groups..."
Qiu Huoming slowed down his pace, "What about them? Don't they want to eat?"
"Who would have thought that once I arrived at the venue, the person was gone. I walked around for a long time but couldn't find him."
Zhang Song sighed, "Then I got hungry, so I came back."
There are only 4 days left before the museum closes, and the number of visitors has indeed decreased a lot recently.
Not long after returning from the cafeteria, Liang Wensheng and his group finally showed up.
Even Zhen Xin and the others were there.
Zhang Song stood up in a flash and asked Zhen Xin, "Why did you dump me?"
Zhen Xin was a little surprised. "No way. We met Liang Wensheng and his team at the exhibition. Director Guo happened to say that we were going to a foreign guest restaurant today, so we went together."
Zhao Jiamin walked over from behind them quickly, holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, and sat directly opposite Qiu Huoming. "Today is the day I spoke the most."
She unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water. "Actually, I think restaurants for foreign guests are just so-so..."
Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I think so too."
Zhang Song clicked his tongue, "I haven't eaten it yet."
"There's an extra serving of French fries with ketchup, which is quite delicious. The rest is just average." Liang Wensheng walked over, pulled over a chair and sat next to Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this man. While he was talking to him, his eyes kept glancing at Zhao Jiamin from time to time.
Zhao Jiamin was originally very sensitive, and she avoided his gaze in annoyance.
Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Qiu Huoming and asked, "Do you want some water?"
Qiu Huoming nodded and said, "Drink." His tone was crisp and excited. He looked at the half-empty bottle of water in Zhao Jiamin's hand with anticipation. After not seeing her for a few days, she was so open-minded.
Zhao Jiamin put down the bottle, Qiu Huoming stretched out his hand, and she took out a can of Coke from her backpack and pushed it towards Qiu Huoming along the table.
Qiu Huoming acted decisively, and flexibly bent his hand that had already touched the mineral water bottle and grabbed the Coke.
"Wow, he's still steaming." Qiu Huoming said in surprise.
"It was given to me by a friend I just made..." Zhao Jiamin smiled brightly.
Qiu Huoming's heart was filled with alarm.
"Her name is Sophia..." Zhao Jiamin explained slowly.
"Oh, it was her. She even scolded me." Liang Wensheng interrupted, "But she apologized later."
This was something he and Zhao Jiamin had experienced together, and he felt a vague sense of pleasure in his heart, as if because of these things, he was closer to Zhao Jiamin.
Zhao Jiamin glanced at him and swallowed the words she was about to say.
In that situation, when the two sides were arguing with each other, he walked over, which was a tacit consent. Anna had the upper hand, and he listened to Anna's advice. Sofia just cursed "get out" which was considered polite.
He probably still feels that he has been wronged.
Qiu Huoming let the Coke sit for a while before he opened the pull ring. With a "pop" sound, bubbles were heard.
"Shall I give it to you first?" Qiu Huoming looked at Zhao Jiamin and asked.
"I'm full of water. Last time, Jinxiu spilled your Coke, so this time I'll fill one for you."
Liang Wensheng felt better after hearing this. This was just compensation.
Qiu Huoming was no longer polite after hearing this and immediately took a sip. The gas rushed up and he burped. He couldn't help but praise, "It feels great."
Zhang Song asked curiously, "What does it taste like?"
"Aerated cough syrup..."
The can of soda was finished in no time.
Unlike the heated version last time, this time it tasted closer to what he remembered.
After coming down from the court countless times, the memory of drinking soda with his roommates at the entrance of the canteen came back to him, and Qiu Huoming took a look at the current scene.
All those good friends stayed in the future, leaving me alone in the past.
Just as he was in a daze, a hand passed by his eyes. "Are you crazy? Your eyes are wide open. Is this soda poisonous?" Zhao Jiamin's voice rang out in front of him.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Maybe it's too delicious."
Liang Wensheng turned his head away, feeling sad in his heart. Shu Yang assisted from the side, saying, "Brother Sheng, after the Canton Fair is over, let's find a chance to get together."
Zhang Peiliang has been getting close to Qiu Huoming recently. He put a slap on Qiu Huoming's shoulder and squeezed in between Qiu Huoming and Liang Wensheng.
"I have agreed with Huo Ming that since our two families live close to each other, we are planning to have an ice skating competition so that we can make friends through sports..."
Zhang Peiliang is in the Journalism Department of Jinan University and is the propaganda officer in their school’s student union. He doesn’t hold a high position, but he knows a lot of people.
"Everyone please leave your contact information. Our school often holds activities, so we can make an appointment to participate together then..." Zhen Xin suggested with a smile.
"I agree. Our Agricultural College is a lot of fun. We have fields and animals... You are welcome to come to our school to play." Li Xiaoyue is a kind-hearted person.
Zhang Peiliang immediately took out a notebook from his schoolbag and said, "Everyone, please write down your addresses. I will go to them one by one later. Don't deny me food when I come..."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Song Fengwen, who was in a bad mood today, laughed.
Everyone wrote down their contact information.
Zhang Peiliang worked harder and copied one for each person.
Liang Wensheng carefully put away the paper he had written.
In the afternoon, when Qiu Huoming was about to finish work, he received another guest. When he came back, he saw Teacher Xu standing and talking with Zhang Song and Zhao Jiamin. When he saw him coming, he immediately waved to him.
"Teacher Xu, why are you here? Has the fee been approved?" Qiu Huoming hurriedly trotted a few steps, came closer and asked.
"You guessed it right, right?" Teacher Xu said after looking at his watch.
"Ten more minutes." Qiu Huoming replied.
"Go get the computer first, you guys come with me and go straight back to school with me, I brought the car today."
"Okay, I've got a ride!" Qiu Huoming said happily.
"Teacher Xu, your money..." Halfway through the journey, Qiu Huoming glanced at his handbag.
Teacher Xu glared at him and said nothing.
When we arrived at the technology company's booth, Rudy was not there. Instead, Chen Li from the foreign trade company was standing at the intersection.
"Sister Chen Li." Qiu Huoming greeted her.
"Xiao Qiu, nice to see you again." Chen Li said with a smile, and then turned her gaze to Teacher Xu, "Director Xu, I have written the purchase documents and the contract. Mr. Rudy is waiting for you in the negotiation room."
"Thank you for your help. Let's go and get this done today..." Teacher Xu said with a smile.
Qiu Huoming glanced at him and it seemed that Teacher Xu had found a foreign trade company to handle this transaction. Well, it was better to let professionals handle foreign-related matters.
Since April 80, Bank of China has started to issue "Foreign Exchange Vouchers", or "Foreign Exchange Vouchers" for short.
(Foreign Exchange Certificates)
Foreign exchange coupons are very popular these days. They can be used in places such as Friendship Stores and Hongqiao Airport Duty Free Shop.
Things like the backpack and thermos cup that Gu Xiaoran used before can only be bought in these places.
Even some large items that require tickets to purchase, such as color TVs and refrigerators, are available there.
There are also scalpers waiting at the gate of the "Canton Fair". Now 100 "foreign exchange certificates" can be exchanged for 130 yuan.
That is quite a bargain. You have to know that foreign exchange is strictly controlled at present. Some people who are preparing to go abroad have no channels and can only exchange money on the black market, and the exchange rate is simply outrageous.
Simply put, foreign exchange certificates mean that they can be exchanged from the official and exchanged for US dollars at a normal exchange rate.
Qiu Huoming had never seen these things before when he lived in a small county town.
The differences between people are obvious.
Teacher Xu walked forward a few steps, then suddenly turned to Qiu Huoming and his group and said, "You guys come along too."
Zhao Jiamin approached Qiu Huoming and asked, "Did Rudy give you the photos we took last time?"
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "I gave it to you. I'll give it to you now..."
"No, give it to me when we get back to school."
"It's just one. Please cherish it and don't damage it."
"I take good care of my things..."
In the negotiation room, Rudy was looking at the contract in his hand. When he saw them come in, he immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"Professor Xu, nice to see you again. I was asking about Mr. Qiu this morning, but I didn't expect you to come in the afternoon..." Rudy was very talkative. He asked Teacher Xu and Chen Li to sit down, then turned to look at Zhao Jiamin.
"Dear Miss Zhao, please go to the table next to you and take a rest first..."
"Okay, Mr. Rudy, it's rare that you still remember my name..." Zhao Jiamin said with a smile.
"I have a photographic memory for cute girls..." Rudy stroked his gray beard and said humorously. At his age, these words were not only not abrupt but also made people feel friendly.
There were three people sitting next to his round table, and with his backpack and computer bag on the ground, there was really no room for more.
The three of them were signing the contract, while Qiu Huoming, Zhao Jiamin and Zhang Song were sitting at the adjacent round table.
After a while, the contract was signed. Rudy opened the computer bag and carefully took out the computer. "Professor Xu, please inspect the goods..."
"This bag also comes with a set. I'll give it to you as well. Here's the instruction manual and warranty card. I'll leave you a phone number so you can always contact me if you have any questions in the future..."
Rudy’s main focus is to provide excellent service.
Teacher Xu turned on the computer, used it for a while, checked it, and shut it down after checking it was fine. He said, "Thank you very much..."
After putting away the computer, Teacher Xu put his briefcase on the table, took out a file bag from it, handed it to Rudy and said, "Here is 7600 yuan..."
Rudy took the document bag and counted the US dollars inside. Then he looked up and said with a smile: "The amount is correct..."
He collected the file bag, put it in his backpack, and shook hands with Teacher Xu and Chen Li. "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After the three of them exchanged greetings for a while, Rudy and Chen Li left first.
Teacher Xu carefully carried the computer bag, stood up and said, "Let's go too."
Qiu Huoming took a step forward, "I'll get it."
"Go, go, open the door." Teacher Xu avoided his hand and instructed.
Qiu Huoming walked quickly to the door, opened the door of the negotiation room, and several people came out one after another.
Outside the exit, the school's special car was parked in a different place. Qiu Huoming asked, "Teacher Xu, I remember there were two Red Flag cars in the school..."
Teacher Xu smiled and said, "You still want to ride in a Hongqi, it's good enough to have a jeep..."
When the driver saw someone coming, he opened the door of the cab, jumped out, walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and Teacher Xu bent down and sat in, then put the computer bag in his hand flat.
There was room for three people to sit in the back, with Qiu Huoming sitting in the middle, Zhang Song on his left and Zhao Jiamin on his right.
The car started, the driver skillfully shifted gears, turned on the spot, and drove towards the exit.
With a hint of excitement, Zhang Song reached out and touched the inside of the car. He was from the Department of Electrical Engineering and was very sensitive to motors, but most of his majors were assigned to power systems.
"The sound of this motor sounds quieter than other cars..."
At that time, diesel engines were the only ones that stood out in the domestic motor manufacturing industry, and microcomputers could only rely on imports. After being accustomed to the roar of diesel, the sound of this engine in front of me was indeed a bright spot.
The driver saw his movements in the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing: "This car is not simple, the engine is a four-cylinder, four-wheel drive... It can run 130 kilometers per hour."
Zhao Jiamin asked, "This car is not cheap, right?"
Qiu Huoming stretched out his hand to close the car window, then he moved his arm away and replied, "It will cost about 4 yuan, and you can't buy it without the approval of your unit..."
"So expensive!" Zhang Song exclaimed in astonishment.
"The engine is imported." Qiu Huoming said.
The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said, "Student, you are very knowledgeable."
Teacher Xu held the computer bag and said, "Xiao Zhang is from the Department of Electrical Engineering, right? You have to work hard..."
Zhang Song scratched the back of his head, "This is going to be difficult."
Zhao Jiamin said thoughtfully: "The day before yesterday, I received a client from the United States. He said he wanted to open a car factory in our country. It seems that the sole proprietorship has not been discussed, but a joint venture is feasible..."
Teacher Xu nodded and said, "Joint venture is the best choice..."
Qiu Huo leaned back tomorrow morning. The back seat was very hard and probably had no shock absorbers.
Qiu Huoming has some knowledge of this 212 as the first jeep in China. He can independently develop other parts, but the engine...
The development of fuel engines was very slow until later generations, and there was always a gap between China and developed countries. This gap was not narrowed until energy vehicles overtook them.
