In the past, Wang Tianxiao would always analyze things thoroughly in one go when discussing matters with Zhang Wenyuan. This time, however, he was a little more subtle and hid something in the background, which Zhang Wenyuan was naturally not used to.
This can't be blamed on Wang Tianxiao; it's just that things really can't be explained clearly.
Why did he want Zhang Wenyuan to acquire the brick and tile factory?
Of course, it wasn't just that he saw operational and management problems at the brick and tile factory; it was also because, as someone who had been through it all, he knew that in the autumn of 1986, a torrential rain would hit Qingcheng, causing many houses to be destroyed.
In my memory, the brick and tile factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy suddenly rose to prominence against this backdrop.
In the past, people built houses with adobe bricks. The floods made them realize that bricks and tiles were more resistant to water immersion and would be safer. So when they built houses again, they would not choose adobe bricks but use bricks and tiles instead.
Now that Wang Tianxiao knew about this tremendous opportunity, he naturally wanted to seize it.
But we definitely can't tell Zhang Wenyuan this information. We can't just tell him that there will be a major rainstorm in the second half of the year, and many families will need bricks and tiles then, and we just need to wait until that time to make money.
That would scare Zhang Wenyuan to death.
Wang Tianxiao wanted to appear intelligent, wise, and farsighted in front of Zhang Wenyuan, but definitely not a charlatan with uncanny foresight.
In other words, Zhang Wenyuan had a very strong trust in Wang Tianxiao, which most people really couldn't stand.
It was through today's conversation that Wang Tianxiao and Zhang Wenyuan's previously ambiguous cooperative relationship was formally brought into the open, confirming their collaboration.
Wang Tianxiao has basically achieved his goals.
No matter how well Zhang Wenyuan develops later, at least they have a bond.
It was quite a fruitful experience.
.
In mid-June, the station was finally powered up.
The television set that Wang Tianxiao bought also came in handy.
With everyone working together, the tall antenna mast was erected.
Television stations in that era were very limited, and they all used very primitive television signals. There were no satellite channels yet, let alone the later cable digital channels.
For people to receive television, a very tall antenna mast is needed; theoretically, the higher it is erected, the better the effect.
There are several aluminum strips on the top of the antenna mast that form a receiving device. Then, a long signal cable is stretched down from the top of the antenna mast and connected to the television.
This type of antenna has significant limitations; it receives very few stations and is easily affected by weather conditions.
On sunny days, the television picture is generally very clear.
However, the signal drops when it's windy or rainy.
In strong winds, the signal strength often varies depending on the wind direction.
To receive a clearer signal, you need to slowly rotate the antenna mast to find the most suitable angle that will maximize signal reception.
This is a very annoying thing.
Sometimes when you're watching a TV series and it's getting to a crucial moment, the screen suddenly turns into tiny specks, and then you have to go outside and turn on a telephone pole.
In addition, black and white televisions of this era had a built-in antenna, somewhat like the two small antennae of a bee. If it was just a small adjustment, the antenna could be rotated to achieve some effect.
Wang Tianxiao also bought Yellow River brand televisions for the airfield.
We can currently receive three channels: CCTV-1, CCTV-2, and Qingcheng local TV station.
However, none of this is clear.
After watching for a few days, everyone was satisfied with the TV, but their eyes hurt from watching it, and they all lamented that it would be better if the TV screen were clearer.
Seeing everyone's distress, Wang Tianxiao recalled a method he had used in his previous life that seemed to have some effect, so he decided to give it a try.
He bought a lot of Jianlibao (a popular Chinese herbal tea brand), shared the contents with everyone, and then punched holes in the cans, arranged them in a row, and attached them to the antenna.
I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to work so well.
The television was indeed much clearer, and everyone gave him a thumbs up, saying that he was really amazing and could do everything.
However, there are also downsides to having such a clear television screen.
At that moment, the oldest version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio was playing on TV. It was quite terrifying, with classic background music and very simple yet eerie visuals that could scare people half to death.
Especially at the very beginning of the TV series, there's an old man carrying a lantern walking in the dark, with human heads flying around him.
The eerie atmosphere was so intense that not only children, but even many adults dared not look at it.
Whenever those things appear, timid people will hide their heads in their clothes, waiting and asking, "Has it passed? Has it passed?" They will only look again after it disappears.
They were both afraid and yet they all loved watching it; they felt uneasy if they didn't.
Besides TV dramas, there are other interesting programs that have enriched everyone's lives and shown them a lot of other knowledge, broadening the horizons of the people at the station.
Seeing everyone so happy, Wang Tianxiao felt a surge of joy.
Of course, in addition to the station having electricity and television, something very good has happened recently.
That means Li Guanping and Mi Xiaoqing got married.
The custom here is to get engaged before getting married, but the purpose of this custom is to give the man and woman some time to get to know each other and communicate, so that they don't find out after marriage that they are not partners they can live with.
But Li Guanping and Mi Xiaoqing don't need this process.
They've known each other for over half a year, and they know each other inside and out. Getting engaged now would be pointless and unnecessary.
All of Mi Xiaoqing's parents have passed away, leaving only her older sister Mi Xiaohong and an older brother. However, her brother has been living in another city for many years and has not received any news from her.
