"With economic opening up, we will develop even better in a few years. As for satellites, it depends on how you use them. The one I'm on actually has the same function as a GPS navigation system. It's like a compass. It gives you a direction, or you give the navigation an address, and it will automatically lead you there."
Do you know what ship navigation is? Yes, you input the starting port and the ending port, and the navigation system will automatically arrange the route, so you don't have to worry about getting lost at sea. But if the service stops, you will definitely lose your way.
"The Rice Compass ultimately serves the end user, which could be an airplane, a ship, a car, a personal mobile phone, or other similar device."
"Why can't we have personal cell phones? What if you're traveling from one city to another and don't know the way? Just enter the place you want to go, and it will tell you how to get there, including walking routes, bicycle routes, car routes, and even bus routes. These features will eventually be implemented; it's just a matter of time."
This was the longest interview Xing Baohua had ever given, and the one in which he explained himself the most.
AVIC wanted him to promote it extensively to enhance AVIC's reputation and promote its commercial applications. In addition, Xing Baohua really wanted to give the rice compass a big boost and pave the way for the development of navigation.
Another factor is relationships. It's usually difficult to interview him, but this time I had to go through connections to get in touch with him. There's no way around it; we have to maintain social relationships, so I gave him that favor.
As Xing Baohua walked out of the CCTV lobby, he saw a girl who seemed to be about the same age as him.
Many beautiful women come and go from CCTV, and quite a few are outstanding, but he recognized her.
Then I realized, isn't this Yang Lan who did the interview?
She was indeed a natural beauty—young, delicate, and pleasing to the eye. But as she matured, she became even more attractive and gained more charm.
"Hey, hello." Xing Baohua greeted him from a distance, which surprised the leader who came to see him off.
Yang Lan stopped and saw a group of people, one of whom greeted her. She didn't recognize any of them and looked a little confused.
Xing Baohua walked over and continued to greet him, "Hello, you look a lot like a friend of mine. May I ask your surname?"
"Oh, oh, my surname is Yang."
"Miss Yang, you work here too?"
"yes!"
"I don't know if I've seen that channel or that program before."
"It's a new show, only two episodes have aired so far, it's called Zhengda Variety Show."
"Is it crosstalk, skits, storytelling, or folk art..." Xing Baohua even sang a couple of lines as he spoke.
Yes, you've seen it.
Xing Baohua narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the leader behind him, "How long will the cooperation between CP Group and you last? I don't care how much money they offer, I'll double the amount for rice. I hope that after the cooperation is completed, rice will be the brand sponsor. Oh, and I'm also the chairman of Columbia Group."
“Sponsorship deals are usually annual, which is easy to handle. CCTV has no shortage of financial resources. However, some collaborations are mutually beneficial. For example, Xing Baohua has the backing of a film company, so he might be able to get a superstar to come and support him with just a word.”
"Okay, okay," the leader quickly replied.
Xing Baohua asked Yang Lan, "Do you have time?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late. He then added, "I'd like to treat you to dinner. Tell me about your show; I'm quite interested in this investment."
Red wine, steak, and a violin performance—it would certainly be romantic for a date, but here it feels more like a work report, with people eating and talking about work at the same time.
Yang Lan graduated from Shanghai International Studies University and has good foreign language skills, but unfortunately she doesn't have the opportunity to go abroad yet.
I wanted to say something grand: as long as he's there, we can go anywhere in the world, even the Arctic Ocean and Antarctica, and enjoy the scenery.
Suddenly remembering the classified information and the hostile forces' plans against him and his key employees, he was too frightened to say that he could go anywhere.
What a great opportunity to take a beautiful young woman on a trip abroad and see the world while she's still young.
I got scared, so I just traveled around the country.
"Where do you want to go? If you don't have the connections, I'll arrange it."
"Before graduation, I wanted to go to the US, but now that I'm working, I'm too busy to go abroad! I'm quite happy with this job and don't want to develop my career outside of the US for the time being."
"Okay, let's travel around the country then. What day of the week do you have off work? Shall we go to Fragrant Hills?"
"..."
It's obvious that this is a wolf.
Almost every local has been to Fragrant Hills at least twice, either in junior high or high school, when they went there with classmates.
To be honest, I just find that place tiresome.
If the other person stops talking, it means they haven't agreed. You can tell from their expression that they're hesitant or even rejecting the idea.
This progress is faster than launching a rocket; who in their right mind would do something like this?
Xing Baohua asked for her contact information, but when he saw that she only had a pager, he immediately sent someone to get her a mobile phone.
"It's too expensive, I can't accept it."
"It's not expensive. I'm the chairman of the rice company, and I'm the one who produces this. It's nothing to give as a gift between friends. Just consider it a local specialty. We don't have many good products from our area, except for rice, which is quite famous."
Local specialties? What the hell are you talking about?
If it were just regular rice, that would be fine, but this is a phone that costs tens of thousands of yuan—a luxury item.
Finally, after Xing Baohua's enthusiastic persuasion, Yang Lan accepted it.
What we received weren't valuables, but local specialties. The chairman of the rice company is right.
Yang Lan returned home to a scholarly family; her father was also a professor.
When I got home to rest, my mom brought up the blind date again.
