Chapter 705 Love Rice



"Who wants to keep up with the times and type on a computer?!"

Upon hearing this, the three people inside the room and Liangzi turned to look at the doorway.

A moment later, Xing Baohua appeared before everyone. It seemed that what was said earlier had been overheard by Xing Baohua, who had just entered the courtyard.

"I was just saying, seeing these things of yours, I was thinking you should at least provide us with a computer or something," the writer said to Xing Baohua, pointing to the television and the refrigerator that had just been moved into the house.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Zhangyan frowned slightly. He had privately obtained the goods from Liang Zi and had intended to inform everyone that they were company property and would be accounted for through official channels.

Who knew that Xing Baohua would arrive just as the goods arrived? What a coincidence!

"What do you mean, 'my goods'?" Xing Baohua glanced at the TV, then at the refrigerator, and, not seeing anything, asked in confusion.

"Your goods include rice, a TV, a refrigerator, and an air conditioner made of rice outside."

As soon as the writer finished speaking, Xing Baohua walked over to the television and looked for the logo. In an inconspicuous place, he saw IDM.

The I and D are very close together, and if you don't look closely, you can easily mistake one for a slightly thicker D.

Looking back at the refrigerator, the brand was the same. No wonder he didn't notice the rice's unique characteristics.

This knockoff is really good! Putting aside the fact that the appearance is a decent imitation, just the fake label alone would make anyone think it's a genuine product from Xiaomi.

"Where did you get these fake things from?" Xing Baohua asked.

The writer was taken aback, glanced at Ma Zhangyan and Baoya Gang, and said to Xing Baohua, "You didn't have anyone bring these here. How did they become fake?"

"no."

The writer asked Ma Zhangyan, "Old Ma, where did you get this?"

Ma Zhangyan sighed. This was a case of the fake Li Kui meeting the real Li Kui. Just now, when Xing Baohua was looking at the sign, he glanced at it too, and who knew that just one glance was enough for him to tell that Liangzi and his group had bought counterfeit goods.

He was an antique collector after all, and he hadn't paid attention to these signs before. But after Xing Baohua finished looking at them, he noticed that there was an extra "I".

So he told Liangzi about how he and his friend were getting some goods to trade.

He then said to Liangzi, "This is the founder and chairman of Dami. Please explain the origin of this matter to him again."

"This batch of goods isn't from rice producers." Liangzi observed Lao Ma's expression, then looked at Xing Baohua.

Xing Baohua nodded and pointed to the television, saying, "From production to market, the DaMi TV has always used LCD screens, not these fluorescent screens. The initial positioning of LCD screens was to target the high-end export market, thus maximizing profits."

And this refrigerator, it's clearly from the 1960s, with rounded corners on both sides. DaMi currently only has two refrigerator models, both square, without any curves, and only available in pearl white and pearl gray. Whether white or gray, they give off a bright and cheerful feel.

After hearing what Xing Baohua said, Liangzi looked miserable. Everyone had worked so hard to get this batch of sought-after goods, but they still ended up being scammed.

However, if you think about it carefully, it's not really a rip-off. The TVs and refrigerators are all genuine products; the only difference is the brand. Since they're not sold in China, who knows if they're genuine?

Liangzi had no idea he would run into the founder of rice here.

"Do you have a screwdriver?" Xing Baohua asked, looking at everyone.

"I'll go look for it." Bucktooth got up to go look for it as soon as he finished speaking.

A moment later, Xing Baohua found a flathead screwdriver, but it was obviously unusable, as most electrical appliances nowadays use Torx screwdrivers.

Then Xing Baohua took out his phone and called Xie Yingying, asking the flagship store to send over the four major appliances, and also to send over a laptop and a printer.

While waiting for the appliances, everyone gathered around a round table to drink tea. Xing Baohua said to Liangzi, "We're all on the same side. Get rid of your batch of goods as soon as possible. I won't hold you accountable for this. Just pretend I never saw it."

After all, the goods were worth over a million yuan. If Xing Baohua notified the industry and commerce bureau, they might all be confiscated.

While counterfeit products may damage the reputation of rice, they will not affect sales at present.

It's uncertain whether this will have any impact in the future.

After that, they put that matter aside and started talking about the script, asking how the preparations were going.

When asked, it turned out they had no clue what to do. Although they had discussed it, they only had a vague concept of what a big production was.

"Have you seen any recent Hong Kong movies? Good films from Hong Kong usually cost around ten or twenty million, like the Police Story 1 and 2 starring Cheng Hong-sheng. Those car chases, stunts, jumping off buildings, and stuff like that. Then there's First Blood, or Tiger Tiger Tiger."

There are quite a few large-scale scenes in it. I'm thinking of making a war film about the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Resistance against the Americans. Airplanes bomb, we hold our ground, the enemy charges, we hold our ground, like the Battle of Shangganling, where only one person is left on the position.

Once reinforcements arrived, the camera panned to a field of red flags, with people swarming towards the position like ants—not just driving the enemy away, but terrifying them to the core.

"That's good. It shows that we have a lot of people and a spirit of not being afraid to sacrifice," said Bucktooth, clapping his hands.

Drinking tea, chatting, making up jokes, that's how we cobbled together the topics.

Xing Baohua deliberately selected a few passages describing the fluttering of the Taiji flag and the assembly call.

They bring up all sorts of stories, like the "Heartless Cannon," explaining how it came about: ambushing a local transport convoy filled with oil drums; using those oil drums to make the cannon, and then adding a short tale about a sharpshooter.

A wide shot is an aerial shot, showing ground combat and other scenes through a dive.
