Chapter 349: Winter Bamboo Shoot Detector, Only Used to Illuminate Bamboo

We went to Secretary Zheng's house to see the "winter bamboo shoot detector." Secretary Wei also wanted to go. He got in our car. On the way, Secretary Wei said, "Teacher Wan, your arrival has brought life to our place."

I said, "It's mainly because I met Secretary Tian. I can offer suggestions, but to turn them into reality, I need a good official."

He said: "Secretary Tian is a hard-working person. He doesn't play games."

I said, "Luckily you're a man. If you were a lesbian, you wouldn't be able to praise me so directly."

Secretary Wei laughed, and Brother Yu said, "You are just humorous."

The two villages were only three miles apart, and it only took a few minutes to reach them. Party Secretary Zheng greeted us on the ground floor and then led us into the living room.

Tian Dehan said, "Take out your treasure and admire it." Secretary Zheng's wife said, "Secretary, don't be anxious. Have a cup of tea first."

Everyone sat down and Secretary Zheng's wife brought them hot tea.

After a while, Secretary Zheng brought out a small box and said, "This is a sample. It's still a little rough on the outside, and I'm asking for your opinions."

He put the box on the table and explained it to us:

There is a camera built into the top of each bamboo. The camera scans the bamboo and generates a set of data: the height of the bamboo and the direction of the bamboo tip.

The chip has some fixed parameters: how long and how old the bamboo is, how many bamboo shoots will grow at the drooping point of the bamboo tip, and how far apart each winter bamboo shoot will be.

The chip immediately generates an image based on these parameters, and you know where to start digging."

Secretary Tian smiled and said, "Interesting, it's a pity that there are no winter bamboo shoots yet, otherwise I could go and give it a try."

Secretary Wei said, "There's no need to try this. Researchers have held several meetings here. We've also organized three or four discussions with experts in winter bamboo shoot digging."

Yu Shuichun said, "Oh, I understand. It's actually just about converting the experience of digging winter bamboo shoots into parameters and setting them in the chip."

Secretary Zheng said, "That's right. We don't need it at all."

I said to Tian Dehan, "Secretary Zheng is right. For experienced bamboo farmers, this thing is completely useless. But for those without experience, it's a treasure."

Tian Dehan nodded and said, "It's of no use in places where there are no bamboos."

I said, "Its sales focus is in cities."

"City?" Secretary Zheng was puzzled.

"Yes, in the cities. You said there aren't many people in the countryside who don't know how to dig winter bamboo shoots. They mainly sell to young men and women in the cities."

Think about it: young people in cities these days love to travel to the countryside on weekends, going mountain climbing, rock climbing, and having picnics. Rural people say it's like they're so full they have nowhere to digest their food. Yet they never tire of it.

If you have such a gadget, men and women can go to the countryside together on weekends. They can use this mobile phone-sized device to sweep up and down the bamboo to dig winter bamboo shoots. How fun it is.

The bamboo farmers are also happy. They don't have to transport their winter bamboo shoots to the city to sell. They can dig them up and sell them right away. It's just a guide. It's a win-win situation."

After hearing this, the two Party secretaries Wei and Zheng clapped their hands and said, "You make sense. This market is quite large."

I said, "If you want to do this, do it on a large scale. Produce a set. A detector, an engineer's shovel, and a walking stick. Call it 'Winter Bamboo Shoots Set'."

The detector went without saying, the engineer's shovel was for digging bamboo shoots, and the walking stick was for climbing. The walking stick was retractable. Everything was packed into a backpack called "Winter Bamboo Shoot Collection."

Tian Dehan said, "That's a good idea. Just carry a bag and you'll have all the tools you need."

Secretary Zheng asked, "I understand the meaning of 'collection,' but when we bring it to the market, people don't understand its meaning. Can we just call it 'bamboo shoot tool box'?"

I laughed out loud and said, "Secretary, you might need to learn more about this. In this age of the internet, young people have created so many new terms. For example, what does "Shenma" mean?

Secretary Zheng said, "What?"

"What does Yali mean?"

Secretary Zheng shook his head, and Tian Dehan said, "Pressure."

“What does the rising era mean?”

Yu Shuichun said: "Everything is going up."

"What does Mianba mean?"

Now, no one knows.

I said, "Fresh graduates who go around interviewing to get more job opportunities."

Everyone said, "Oh, that's why."

I said, "Young people have their own way of playing. The toolbox you brought is not trendy at all.

Call it "Winter Bamboo Shoots Collection" to confuse them and arouse their curiosity. It will probably become popular in three days.

You ask him, have you bought a collection recently? He replies, “I have a collection recently.”

Except for Tian Dehan, the other three still disagreed with the name I chose.

Secretary Tian said, "This one belongs to Teacher Yi Wan. This business is originally aimed at young people. They like trendy things, so we gave it a trendy name."

I said, "Times have changed, so naming is different. For example, it's clearly a mobile phone, so why name it 'Apple' or 'Xiaomi'? It's clearly a website, so why name it 'Tomato'? What do these plants have to do with mobile websites? It's just trendy."

Secretary Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

I said, "There's no rush to release it. Contact the manufacturers of the crutches and the engineer shovel, and have them custom-made to your specifications. Add a detector and a custom backpack, and then release it."

Secretary Tian said to Lao Jin, "You will be responsible for contacting Secretary Zheng on this matter. Assist them in communicating with the funding and relevant manufacturers."

Lao Jin said, “No problem.”

Tian Dehan turned his head and said to me, "You are best at writing advertising slogans. Help them come up with one."

I thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "The winter bamboo shoot detector knows everything about the roots and the roots. It can only be used to observe bamboo shoots."

Everyone burst into laughter. Everyone looked at each other with a strange look.

I said, "Your smile is very ambiguous, and I didn't break the rules. It can only be used to photograph bamboo shoots."

Tian Dehan said: "It's similar to the teahouses in Lijiang, named 'Husband is Not Home'. She really didn't break the rules; her husband is mining in Africa."

Everyone laughed again.

Yu Shuichun said: "There is a place that claims to be a city called Chun (Yichun)."

I said to Tian Dehan, "We've built a rapeseed farm in our village, and the village chief called and asked me to come up with a slogan. I came up with one, but he didn't dare use it."

Tian Dehan asked, "Tell me about it."

I said, "Everything here is yellow, come and see."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Tian Dehan said, "Let's just use the first half. The slogan is: Winter Bamboo Shoot Detector, Know the Roots and Bodies."

Secretary Zheng said, "Thank you Secretary Tian and Teacher Wan for your on-site work. I will follow the ideas I just discussed and strive to get the genuine product in January next year."

It was still early, so I said goodbye to Secretary Tian and the two branch secretaries. They had some work to discuss.

As soon as I got in the car, Director Shi called and said that he had accepted a task to lead a team to another province for an inspection. The trip might take about ten days, so he invited me to dinner tonight and asked if I had time.

I said, "There is no question of whether or not there is time. I will run to wherever you point your finger, no matter if there is an earth (XX) or ten thousand feet (XX) ahead.

Shi Ting laughed: "Master, you have a good sense of humor."

I said, "I only have one request. I'll order the dishes. I've brought a chef with me."

"A professional order taker? You always surprise me. Now there's such a profession?"

"Yes. I'll report to the leader then."

After hanging up, I called the person on the phone who knew about this: "At 5:30 pm, you rush to the Lihua Hotel. The situation has changed, so I'll treat you in advance."

Yu Shuichun said, "Shanhong, you are very busy with your work."

I said, "It's mainly because I chose the wrong name. It's called Wanshanhong, which has 3 strokes, 3 strokes, and 6 strokes, which adds up to 12 strokes. I have a busy life every month, so I'm destined to be a hard worker."

He laughed heartily and said, "If a person is idle every month, that's not a life for a human being."
