Chapter 269: Decorating the new home, Lu Chiyu is jealous of the money made by country B’s color TVs!

"Well, I went to check it out this morning. The layout is the same, and the small building here was built together with the buildings in the new residential area. The small building we're staying in hasn't been occupied yet."

Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She loved the big villa, especially the new big villa.

"Great, let's move this afternoon."

As soon as Lu Chiyu finished speaking, General Rong came out from the living room, "Old lady, A Yu, Xiao Gu, come in quickly, let's discuss moving this afternoon."

"Old man, have you known for a long time that Xiao Gu is going to be promoted?" Seeing that General Rong was not at all surprised about the move, Mrs. Rong couldn't help but guess something.

General Rong smiled calmly, "Old lady, guess what?"

Madam Rong: ...This old man has started to let himself go since he found his son. First he changed his name from "Ayue" to "old woman", and now he even dares to play tricks on her.

"Oh, what's there to guess? Judging from your personality, it's very likely that you already knew about your grandson-in-law's promotion to brigade commander. Oh, you didn't even tell us. You're the only one in the family who knows about this. You're so proud, aren't you?"

When General Rong saw his wife uttering "Ha" twice, he immediately felt something was wrong. He wanted to say that Gu Yuan also knew about this, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was not a good idea to involve the younger generation.

So I could only smile and explain, "Haha... well, I'm just worried that something might happen before the final appointment letter comes in, so telling you in advance would make you all excited for nothing."

"Really? I think I've recovered well now. I'll find an opportunity to return to work so I don't end up being completely blind."

Hearing what Mrs. Rong said, General Rong broke out in a cold sweat. His son Ah Yue had been in poor health for many years and was old, so he couldn't bear to let her continue working.

Now their son and daughter-in-law of the Rong family are all successful, and their granddaughter and grandson-in-law are even better than them. The old couple and their son are generals of the Republic, so there is no need for A Yue to work.

So he hurried over to help the old lady: "Old woman, come into the living room and listen to me..."

When the young couple Lu Chiyu saw how General Rong was coaxing Madam Rong, they couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of laughter.

Lu Chiyu was just worried that since the young couple were used to being intimate with each other, it would have a bad influence if the elders also subconsciously became intimate with them.

Just like just now, she subconsciously threw herself into Gu Yuan's arms out of excitement. This behavior was very unusual if seen by others in the 1970s.

Now seeing the "flirting" scene between General Rong and Madam Rong, she only wanted to say: She and Gu Yuan are still too young!

After putting his thoughts aside, Lu Chiyu happily followed the two elders into the living room with Gu Yuan.

At noon, the young couple Lu Chiyu had a discussion with General Rong, Madam Rong, and Rong Feiyang and his wife. After lunch, the family started moving!

The new house has already been renovated, and they just need to move the furniture in.

All the things for Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan's small home were purchased after they moved into the family compound. Based on the principle of thriftiness, they all moved to their new home.

There were General Rong and Madam Rong, as well as several new guards assigned by Rong Feiyang, enough for more than a dozen guards in total. Together with Lu Chiyu and his wife, and Rong Feiyang and his wife, it only took them two hours to move all their things to their new home.

When we arrived at the new home, we even asked the security guards to clean it.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Chiyu and the others finished decorating their new home.

Poor Yang Jie, Hu Dou Dou and others rushed to help with the move, but Lu Chiyu and others had already moved their home.

With things from the old house, the new house has almost nothing missing, at least Lu Chiyu thinks so, but General Rong doesn’t think so!

He mysteriously asked his guards to go to the city, and in the evening he brought back a color TV, a washing machine, a water heater, several fans, a pile of dishes and other new daily necessities.

There's even a dishwasher!

Lu Chiyu was shocked. Where did her good grandfather find these good things? It was obvious that he had planned it for a long time.

With these electrical appliances, life is not much different from Lu Chiyu's previous life.

Yang Jie, Hu Dou Dou and others arrived just in time to help Gu Yuan install these things.

Lu Chiyu, Rong Feiyang and his wife, and the guards were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. This was a new family dinner, and Lu Chiyu and her family had invited quite a few people to their home for dinner.

However, there were still too many people in the kitchen, and soon Lu Chiyu was the first one to be kicked out by his daughter, General Nu Rong Feiyang.

When Lu Chiyu had nothing to do, he went to see Gu Yuan and the others installing the TV.

Lu Chiyu was shocked to see the complicated TV installation at this time.

"Boss, do you understand?" Hu Dou Dou was standing outside in the yard. Yang Jie and others were setting up an antenna on the roof. Hu Dou Dou was acting as a middleman to pass a message to Gu Yuan and Yang Jie.

"It's not very clear yet, a little more to the left." Gu Yuan said.

Then Hu Doudou shouted to the rooftop: "Xiao Jiezi, the boss said it's not clear enough, move a little to the left!"

Yang Jie was yelling at the top: "Hu Dou Dou, you're courting death. Did you call me Xiao Jiezi?"

As the voice fell, Lu Chiyu saw the color TV flashing violently...

Gu Yuan then said to the outsiders: "It's too left-wing. Now you can't see any portrait at all."

Hu Doudou yelled upstairs again, "Xiao Jiezi, you moved too far to the left. The boss said that the portrait can't be seen at all."

Then Lu Chiyu saw the color TV flash again, and some images were restored.

Gu Yuan said to the outside world: "It's much better now. I'll move it a little bit and tell you when it's ready."

As soon as the words fell, Hu Doudou outside started shouting towards the rooftop again...

Lu Chiyu was stunned by the complicated process of debugging the color TV. She also saw that the picture quality of the color TV was not very good. The key point was that Gu Yuan and the others seemed to be very interested in this color TV.

Then General Rong and Madam Rong also sat on the sofa and watched very seriously. It seemed that they both liked this color TV very much.

When Lu Chiyu thought about it, she really realized that not only had she never seen a color TV in C Sea, but she had also never seen one in the Gu family or in the homes of General Rong and his wife in Kyoto.

I couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, are there many color TVs produced in our country now? What are the prices?"

And then when Lu Chiyu heard the price of the color TV, he was even more shocked!

When General Rong heard his granddaughter's question, he turned his gaze away from the TV:

"Our country only produced the first color TV this year in Guangcheng. Because the technology was purchased from Country B at a high price, the cost is also not cheap. This 17-inch color TV cost over 8,000 yuan."

"Eight... more than eight thousand?" Lu Chiyu was so shocked when he heard the price that he stuttered!

What does more than 8,000 yuan mean in this era? Pork is only 75 cents per pound now, and the average wage of workers is only more than 20 yuan.

This more than 8,000 is equivalent to a huge sum of millions in later generations!

Lu Chiyu felt it was so unreal that he spent more than one million yuan to buy a small color TV.

Seeing Lu Chiyu like this, the old lady thought she was reluctant to let them spend so much money on the young couple, so she couldn't help but comfort her: "It's okay, Yu. Your grandparents have a lot of allowances, so buying a color TV is not a problem. Don't feel burdened."

General Rong also agreed: "Yes, yes, your grandmother and I have been provided with food, clothing, lodging and travel by the state over the years. We have no place to spend our allowances. Buying a few home appliances for you young people is nothing.

I heard that color TVs are now becoming available to the middle class in Country B. We should also take a look at this thing and experience it."

In Country B, they were still only popular among the middle class. Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Grandpa, are you saying that color TVs are also rare in Country B?"

General Rong didn't understand his granddaughter's train of thought, but that didn't stop him from nodding: "Yes, I heard that this color TV is not cheap in country B. It should be said that color TVs all over the world are expensive now, and most of them are imported from country B. Country B has made a lot of money from countries around the world using this color TV in the past ten years." His tone was very sour when he said the latter part.

The more Lu Chiyu listened, the brighter his eyes became. He couldn't help but ask again: "Grandpa, why do these color TVs make money in Country B?"

General Rong really knew that to reach their position one needed to have rich experience.

"Because they first invented color television technology in the 1950s, and after inventing it, they kept this technology blocked from other countries for a long time.

Even when many developed countries offered high prices, they refused to buy, protecting color TV technology as a top secret. It was only later, when they were able to commercialize color TVs, that they relaxed their blockade of the technology. But now, if you want to buy some color TV technology, the stepping stone is still very expensive, and you can only import their color TVs."

Lu Chiyu had a clear idea in mind when he heard this. His eyes sparkled as he said, "Grandpa, what do you think if we take over this business from Country B? Our country has been working hard to earn foreign exchange over the years. With this color TV market, we will probably be able to achieve our foreign exchange goals more easily."

General Rong was drinking tea from his enamel cup and almost spit out a mouthful of tea when he heard this!

Seeing him like this, Madam Rong couldn't help but said with disdain, "You old man, please don't spray water on A Yu, or I won't forgive you."

General Rong: ...Don’t I have any face? I don’t have any.

However, he didn't care about arguing with Madam Rong at the moment, and excitedly said to Lu Chiyu, "Ah Yu, are you saying that we should produce color TVs in our country and sell them to the whole world?"

"Well, we can also learn from Country B and sell technology and do both at the same time."

Lu Chiyu was really envious of Country B's big business. If Country B could make money from all over the world, there was no reason why their country couldn't.

Moreover, her past life experience taught her that only by making money from all over the world can the people live a good life. Of course, she would not follow the example of Country E which dumped opium to the world in a wicked way, nor would she make a fortune by selling weapons like Country B. Instead, she would honestly make money from all over the world with her technology, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with people all over the world!

Country B: ...stealing business is stealing business. I am really impressed by how you justify it in such a high-sounding way.

They scared us off with military force, and now they want to make money from us. They don’t even give us a chance to survive!

"I need to take it easy." After receiving a positive answer, General Rong calmed down and regained his composure. He had no doubts about his granddaughter's abilities. Suppressing his excitement, he asked tentatively, "Ayu, are you saying you can make a color TV that's even better than Country B's?"

Sure enough, Lu Chiyu nodded: "Yes, I can try to make a color TV with clearer imaging and easier installation and operation.

By then, even if our TVs are sold at the same price as those in Country B, I believe people around the world will still prefer to buy from us."

Lu Chiyu said this with a fox-like smile, and it was obvious that he had plans for this business.

Previously, she only focused her energy on scientific research and national defense, and forgot that she could do some civilian technology business to earn some money around the world. What should she do? She feels like she has missed out on a lot of US dollars.

However, from now on, she has to focus on both scientific research, national defense, and economic and technological strengthening of the country, and both hands must be strong!

When Lu Chiyu was thinking about this, the President of Country B on the other side of the ocean was getting on the plane. Then he shuddered inexplicably on the ladder and almost fell off!
