Chapter 347 The Power of Technology

When she stepped onto the streets of the capital again, Su Yun could clearly feel that the people and customs had changed a lot compared to the last time she came here.

The last time I came here, the pedestrians and buildings on the streets had already become vibrant and energetic due to the reform and opening-up policy, but among those expectations, there was still a sense of hesitation and confusion about the uncertain future.

This time, after the whole nation watched the Olympic Games and China achieved good results in the Olympics, people finally saw the gap between themselves and the world level, and their confusion and anxiety were greatly reduced, and their self-confidence was enhanced.

As Su Yun walked along the road, she couldn't help but smile knowingly at the rosy and energetic faces of the people passing by.

"Hey, let me tell you, this restaurant is one of the best here. Many foreigners who come here to travel will come and see it!" The taxi driver chatted with Su Yun while taking her through the streets and alleys to a restaurant as Su Yun had asked before, "Just find a special hotel to drop me off for lunch."

The restaurant was a typical one with red walls, green tiles and carved windows. There were two stone lions at the door. It looked very antique. Su Yun took a quick look and nodded in approval: Regardless of the taste, the environment is good.

People nowadays are relatively simple and honest, and there aren't so many cases of ripping off outsiders. The driver also looked honest, so Su Yun guessed that there shouldn't be any catty people here.

After getting off the car and walking forward, Su Yun saw a dark antique sign with a menu engraved on it standing next to the stone lion. She walked forward with interest to take a look at the small words below the menu, then noted down a few dishes in her mind and planned to go in and order them to try.

To be honest, for someone like Su Yun, who has a very traditional Chinese palate, every time she went to work abroad, it was a tearful story of not being able to eat well. Now, she can finally taste authentic roast duck, stir-fried tripe, brined fire-baked dumplings, fried cakes, sweet bowls of sugar rolls... She almost cried while eating.

While eating, Su Yun inadvertently looked up and saw a clerk hurriedly walking out with a broom and a shovel. She called him curiously, "What's wrong?"

"There's some garbage near the door. A foreign tourist saw it while taking photos next to the stone lion outside and said it was dirty and messy here. Hey, I tell you, you have to get rid of it quickly, otherwise it will affect our international image!" The clerk explained and then hurried out.

Su Yun looked depressed for a while: it's not that she couldn't stand the clerk's haste to respond to foreigners' words as if they were imperial decrees. After all, some of their own people did have the bad habit of littering - not only now, but even after education becomes more popular, this bad habit will still be difficult to change.

But there are such people and such phenomena in foreign countries too, we cannot simply say that the Chinese are of poor quality!

How should I put it? I simply don't like outsiders pointing out the problems in my family without any roundabout way. It's basically a mentality of wanting to cover up one's own shortcomings and thinking that family ugliness should not be made public.

Thinking of this, Su Yun stood up from her corner seat and planned to go out and take a look: firstly, to help explain, and secondly, to see who the foreign tourists were and whether these people had any misunderstandings due to communication.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out the door and looked towards the stone lion, Su Yun was shocked by the bright red and green figure.

The building uses highly saturated bright red and bright green because of its large area, which weakens the contrasting impact of the bright red and bright green. In addition, the ancient Chinese carving and engraving techniques can also give the bright red and bright green a dark transition.

As for a person, even if he is a tall man, he wears a green military coat on top and bright red tights on the bottom, and a pair of red and black sneakers below - damn, these brand-name sneakers haven't changed much in all these years?

Generally speaking, such strong contrasting colors may create a solemn and simple atmosphere in photos or videos through post-production color matching and environmental coordination; however, if you really see it in real life, this person's outfit can only perfectly confirm the saying, "red and green are unbearable to the eyes"...

"You look really good in this red dress! You look so energetic. No wonder foreigners like to wear red when they come to our capital..." The clerk talked to the man enthusiastically while cleaning, regardless of whether he could understand or not.

"Thank you." Under Su Yun's gaze, the man actually said thank you in a strange accent.

The problem is, the voice sounds a little familiar...

When Su Yun was about to go back into the store with doubts in her heart, the man happened to look to the other side to pose for a photo - so, the face that managed to support the bright red and green contrasting outfit with its amazing looks bumped into Su Yun who was about to go back.

The clerk didn't look closely to see if Su Yun wanted to go in or out. He just saw Su Yun appear at the door, so he subconsciously thought that Su Yun, a southern tourist who was wrapped up tightly and seemed to be afraid of the cold, wanted to come out to see the big star. He immediately greeted her warmly: "Girl, don't be shy. This star is very easy-going. Come over and maybe you can take a photo with him. He is the male lead of "Zorro"!"

"Don't you know who she is?" The clerk didn't notice Su Yun's disguise, but Zha Lan could see through it at a glance, so he continued to ask back in that strange Mandarin accent.

"It's been a long time since we last met! Come in! I'll treat you to dinner! Authentic special roast duck!" Su Yun didn't give him a chance to continue talking. She acted enthusiastically like meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and grabbed him from the chair and walked him into the store.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" The translator who took the photo of him was stunned.

"Young man, it's obvious that you know each other. Don't worry about it. The roast duck in our store is famous..." The clerk saw that the two really looked like they knew each other, so he quickly stopped the middle-aged uncle who wanted to come forward to translate, and acted like a hospitable person who would not let him leave until he had eaten.

Ten minutes later, Zha Lan and the translator, who were dragged in by Su Yunsheng, sat in another private room. The waiter brought the dishes that Su Yun had just ordered and also took out a small bottle of wine: "This is a gift from our boss. Eat slowly."

After the clerk left, Su Yun asked directly, "Why are you here?"

"I finished filming and wanted to take a break. I heard that China's inland areas have recently opened up to tourism, so I came to take a look." Zha Lan waved her hands. "You know what, apart from being a little dirty and messy here, many of the scenery and ancient buildings are extremely beautiful!"

"Although I know you tend to speak bluntly and bluntly, you shouldn't be so 'direct'." Su Yun frowned.

This was not just her worrying for nothing. Some people accused Zha Lan of insulting China just because he complained about dirt and mess. Once foreigners are involved in this, it will directly arouse public outrage among the Chinese people. For example, the pair of brand-name sports shoes he was wearing were later labeled because of the cotton problem, and then the sales in the Chinese market also took a sharp dive.

"I like China and the Chinese people very much, and Paris is just as dirty. I'm not wrong, every place has its good and bad sides, and we need to face them squarely." Zha Lan said seriously.

"And the Chinese people like me very much!" When he said this, he looked like someone who had been suppressed for many years and now finally got the chance to show off. "In China, I really felt like a superstar. Not only do they like me, but they love me very much! They are very enthusiastic towards me!"

Su Yun helplessly said: He is so cunning when doing business, but in real life he is so stubborn. The contrast is really too outrageous.

Fortunately, he is not very popular among his compatriots in his native France, so they are not afraid that his words will affect his image.

His high level of favorability towards China is very beneficial to his development and his subsequent plan to enter the Asian market with Batman.

In view of the above reasons, Su Yun did not get entangled with Zha Lan's contrasting personalities any longer.

However, Su Yun's idea of ​​finishing the meal quickly and then going their separate ways was interrupted by Zha Lan's next words: "I heard that your company recently developed a very small handheld computer? It's called a PDA?"

"Well, most people like to call it a PDA." Su Yun nodded and took out the Creator One she carried with her. "But, I have something else to tell you..."

"What you mean is that you took a gift from a friend you don't have a very good relationship with and opened it to get the inspiration for making this?" Zha Lan replied with a forced smile.

Facing Su Yun's surprised look of "How did you know this?", Zha Lan knocked on the table in anger: "Do you know that I had to accompany the store owner for a meal to get it?! Do you know what the price is for me to accompany you for a meal?!"

"I'm just paying you back for your meal, right?!" Su Yun said in a very unreasonable but arrogant manner.

"Is this little thing so important?!" Zha Lan asked back.

"Very important." Knowing that he might not be able to shout at Zha Lan, Su Yun unethically used his speed and advantage to cover Zha Lan's mouth and physically silence him. Then, in front of the translator's stunned expression, he gave a long speech about how important the progress and development of personal computers are.

"This is the greatest machine that humans can create at present, and since its birth, it has been constantly evolving itself to meet the needs of humans' continuous progress..."

"And the PDA in my hand belongs to the microscopic realm that 99% of the world's people still cannot understand..."

"That's one small step for a personal computer, one giant leap for mankind."

Su Yun blew a lot of nonsense, not only the translator was stunned, but even Zha Lan, who was forcibly silenced, couldn't help but reveal a look of shock on her face.

Unfortunately, after Su Yun let him go, he asked Su Yun to show him the true power of this "little thing" on the grounds that seeing is not believing.

Seeing that he seemed to be interested in investing, Su Yun, who felt that he was indeed short of research and development funds, wrote two simple small programs for him on the spot and handed them over confidently.

"A mainframe can do it, too, and even better than you." After carefully and attentively checking it, Zha Lan still shook her head.

Seeing that he would not cry until he saw the coffin, Su Yun took him to the location where Li Xuexiang was filming: when she arrived, she went to find Li Xuexiang first, but unfortunately the location was occupied by a group of young people dancing with radios, so Li Xuexiang had to go to film other scenes first.

Su Yun asked the staff at the time, and they said they would come in the afternoon to see if they could shoot, so Su Yun planned to have lunch first and then come back to wait.

"Do you think you can make these young people stop dancing and leave with just the little gadget in your hand?" After hearing what Su Yun said, Zha Lan and the translator were both incredulous.

They have been in the capital for some time recently. In order to experience the style of China's capital, Zha Lan used bicycles to travel. As they rode along, they would occasionally run into young people who occupied open spaces with radios on their shoulders and danced. They could not be driven away no matter how hard they tried. They were a source of extremely bad noise pollution...

Su Yun took a look at this group of "trendsetters of the times" wearing bell-bottom pants and having all kinds of strange hairstyles. After calculating their ages, she realized that they were undoubtedly the "square dance masters and ladies" that she would encounter in the future. She felt certain in her heart.

After spending some time recompiling a small interference program, Su Yun pointed directly at the radio and started it.

"Huh? Why is there no sound?" The song suddenly stopped while they were dancing, and the surfers gathered around the radio to check what was going on.

At this time, Su Yun ruffled his hair a little, adjusted his sunglasses, and stepped forward with the look of a fashionable young man to offer advice: "I know this, I've seen my second uncle do it, just pat it down hard at a 45-degree angle like this, and it will be fixed immediately. It is said to be a warrior nation-style repair method..."

Wearing sunglasses, Su Yun really looked like a fashionable southern tourist like them, so the trendsetters believed her and really slapped the radio twice.

With her PDA in her pocket, Su Yun quickly closed the interfering program and then quietly returned to the crowd.

"Yo, it's really working!" When the trendsetters heard the radio actually started playing the song again after two beats, they all showed happy expressions.

"It's really useful..." Zha Lan was secretly amazed at the wonderful use of this portable small machine when he needed to do something "bad" secretly, when Su Yun suddenly turned his head to look at him and whispered in his ear.

"This is just the beginning - if I disturb them a few more times, they will automatically touch the radio and continue to use the militant nation-style repair method I introduced... No matter how good the outer shell of a machine is, its interior is fragile."

"Just wait and see. Within three days, this radio will definitely be destroyed by them..."

When the whisper reached this point, Su Yun suddenly smiled with a look of revenge.
