When Pan Ye saw her boyfriend coming, she was shocked, thinking that someone was about to act beastly again. The embarrassing things that happened in Hong Kong some nights still left a psychological trauma on the girl.
"No, no, this is domestic. If the leaders see us..."
For the generation that grew up under the red flag and bathed in the spring breeze, sex is regarded as a scourge.
Lin Sanqi knocked over with a sugar-roasted chestnut:
"What are you thinking about? I'm taking you out to play. Come on, this is your first time in Shanghai, right? I'll take you to experience the charm of the first city in the Far East."
Pan Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he closed the door with a smile:
"Let's go. I want to see Nanjing Road and stroll along the Bund. As long as we're not in the room..."
After all, Shanghai was the country's economic center in 1960. Apart from the capital, Shanghai was the only city that received full support from the whole country, so it still maintained a certain degree of prosperity.
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye took the tram to the Bund first. After taking a few photos there, they slowly strolled to Yu Garden.
October is a good time to eat crabs. Pan Ye, who is from the north, may not be used to it, but Lin Sanqi, who is from the south, loves it very much.
As a result, the two asked around in state-owned restaurants but found none of them had crab roe dumplings or crab roe noodles.
I can't even eat enough rice, and I still want to eat crab roe buns? What the hell?
Finally, a staff member at a state-owned restaurant gave me some advice:
"If you have overseas remittance vouchers, go to Songyuelou. They have all the famous Shanghai snacks, but they only serve foreign guests."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he was a foreign guest because he had a Hong Kong ID card, but it was not convenient to use it now. If the relevant departments knew about it, it would cause trouble again. After all, he was still an active two-bar and two-star official.
Lin Sanqi was a little puzzled: "Sister, I've heard of foreign exchange coupons, but I don't know what overseas remittance coupons are."
The hotel waiter was also a little strange:
"What are foreign exchange coupons? I don't know. Overseas remittance coupons are when someone has relatives overseas and they send you foreign currency. When you go to the bank to withdraw money, they'll give you a proportional amount of overseas remittance coupons. Then you can go to designated shopping malls and restaurants to buy things without coupons."
Lin Sanqi understood that the Overseas Chinese Remittance Certificates were actually similar to the later Foreign Exchange Certificates, just with a different name.
He didn't have any overseas remittance vouchers, but he now had a lot of US dollars in his hands. Money is a man's courage. The rich Lin Sanqi pulled Pan Ye and walked towards Songyue Tower.
As a foreign-related hotel in Shanghai, Songyuelou has quite a lot of rules.
When Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye tried to enter the hotel wearing their domestic clothes, they were stopped as expected:
"I'm sorry, comrade. We at Songyue Tower only accept foreign guests. Please forgive me."
Lin Sanqi knew that the other party was doing his duty, so he didn't get angry. He just took out a bag of US dollars from his backpack, a full ten thousand US dollars:
"Look, comrade, I have money. I just heard that your Songyue Tower's 'Eight Ways to Cook Crabs' is very famous, so I wanted to come and try it."
The staff at the door were in a dilemma. Songyue Building had a mission to earn foreign exchange, and they were jealous of so many US dollars, but the customers in front of them were ordinary people in the country.
"But according to regulations, we only receive foreign guests, this..."
Lin Sanqi took out another military officer's certificate. The two bars and two stars on it made the staff feel uneasy. They thought that he had so much money and it came from the capital, so he must be a child of a powerful military compound.
Finally, after asking for instructions, Songyuelou decisively rejected the Chinese guest who was holding US dollars.
The reason is that regulations are rules, and we must adhere to principles!
Lin Sanqi couldn't hold it in any longer now. He cursed and dragged his girlfriend away without even looking back.
Pan Ye followed behind and started laughing with his hands covering his mouth, then he laughed even harder:
After walking for a while, Lin Sanqi was so angry that he laughed at himself. He thought that there was nothing wrong with sticking to principles. What he feared most were those who had no principles in the face of money and power.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi was no longer angry.
If the east is dark, the west will be bright. What you can't eat in Shanghai, you can find in other places. For example, the eight ways to eat crab are divided into crab roe soup dumplings, crab roe big dumplings, drunken crab, crab roe rice noodles, clear-boiled crab roe lion head, crab roe tofu, etc.
Just hearing the name makes your mouth water, but the most authentic way to eat it is still in southern Jiangsu.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi drove his jeep and quickly headed towards Suzhou with his girlfriend...
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye traveled around southern Jiangsu, enjoying the beautiful scenery and tasting delicious food. The assembly and debugging of the production line at the Shanghai Precision Medical Machinery Factory also went smoothly.
The later "Southwest Medical Equipment Factory" was actually the biological son of the "Shanghai Precision Medical Machinery Factory" in Sichuan, so the engineers of the two factories were the same group of people, and the production lines also had the same ideas.
In other cases, it is the father who teaches the son, but because of the unexpected factor of time travel, now it becomes the son who teaches the father.
Therefore, the Shanghai Precision Medical Machinery Factory got started very quickly, and many of the technologies gave the engineers a sense of déjà vu, and they felt that this was the way it should be.
For the workers, work is even easier. The simplest reason is that some of the settings are very consistent with their working habits, as if these foreign production lines were their own.
Everyone worked day and night, 24 hours a day. It took only 2 days to assemble the production line. Once the power was turned on, all production lines ran smoothly.
The engineers also quickly mastered the basic production of parts. Lin Sanqi also provided "finished products" so that the engineers did not have to spend a lot of time exploring and researching, but only had to follow the production process.
The technology of the 1250 mAh X-ray machine was also mastered by the engineers without any difficulty. Everything was simpler than everyone imagined.
This gave several senior leaders the illusion that my country's scientific research capabilities were not that weak, and that they could easily understand and learn foreign advanced technologies. This also greatly increased everyone's confidence.
So on November 8, representatives from various countries invited by foreign affairs departments and media reporters from various countries took a special train to Shanghai for inspection.
The most enthusiastic among them were the U.S. Representative Office in China and the diplomats from the Russian Embassy. On the train, they had already begun to secretly arrange their tasks.
At this time, US Representative Hank Allen was instructing the Secret Service:
"The Chinese seem to be serious this time, allowing journalists from all over the world to take photos and videos. They seem to be confident, but I think there must be something fishy going on.
Either their production line is fake and the products on the production line are pre-arranged. Or their production line is supported by the Russians. Various possibilities cannot be ruled out.
If the Russians are willing to share this cutting-edge science and technology with China, then our previous analysis that the two countries would fall out will be untenable. We must remind the country that all this is a conspiracy between China and the Soviet Union."
A group of Americans gathered in the box and nodded heavily:
"Mr. Hank Aaron, what do you say?"
"We'll do this then..."
In the Russians' box, several burly Slavs were also holding a meeting:
"Huaxia is no longer our friend, but if it is confirmed that China's X-ray machine technology comes from the United States, then China has betrayed us. Then we will have sufficient reason to turn against them and gain support from other brother countries."
When the other Russians heard this, they also shouted indignantly: "Damn traitor!"
"We should use nuclear weapons to teach them what it means to follow the right master!"
"We must make them pay the price!"
In fact, by 1969, the Russians had indeed launched a blatant nuclear threat against our country and had a clear nuclear strike plan.
If our great man had not finally proposed the "home exchange strategy" and the wise decision of "you bomb me, I bomb the United States", and finally forced the Russians not to take action, otherwise our country would have become a ruin.
This shows that our country’s situation in those years was really difficult, and even the so-called Big Brother could bully us at will.
Lin Sanqi knew what happened later, so in order to prove himself, he urged Leaders Jing and Cheng to launch a big satellite.
After confirming that Shanghai engineers had basically mastered the 1250 mAh X-ray technology, Lin Sanqi suggested directly launching the 1250 mAh X-ray machine.
Leader Cheng, however, was concerned: "If we just bring out our most advanced equipment, wouldn't that be too ostentatious? What if someone else learns from us?"
Lin Sanqi explained:
"For any country that has mastered the 750 mAh X-ray machine, it is only a matter of time before it upgrades to the 1250 mAh one. They may even be halfway through their research and development.
We shouldn't be afraid of technology leaks. If they do, someone could buy one of our machines, take it apart, and study it. All our secrets would be exposed. That's why I'm asking you to apply for various patents in advance. With patents, we don't have to worry about leaks."
Some of our leaders like to involve confidentiality in everything.
Just like some weapons, there is already a generation gap between domestic and foreign ones, and they are very backward, but some leaders still insist on keeping them secret and only want others to know. This is actually a backward conservative way of thinking.
If there really is a leak, it's impossible to prevent it. There are so many pests inside. (End of this chapter)
