Chapter 693 Color TV
In Zhenxing Electronics, Hong Kong Island, Lou Shouxing is receiving a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner.

This foreigner spoke with a very authentic London accent and was dressed in typical old money style with the Union Jack. Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of arrogance that he hid very well.

However, facing Lou Shouxing at this moment, he was still very polite, with a stiff smile on his face, as if "his voice and appearance are still vivid in his mind". It was obvious that this John Bull with the Union Jack knew how to judge the situation very well and was still quite flexible.

"Mr. Lou, if we want to get this batch of goods, what price do we need to pay?"

Listening to his words, Lou Shouxing couldn't help but secretly think that the good stuff in his house was really attractive.

"Mr. Kren, I need your help. I want to buy some small things in the United States." Lou Shouxing said with a smile.

This answer made Mr. Kren frown: "It's difficult, you know."

I don’t know what he is thinking.

Lou Shouxing smiled: "No, no, no, Mr. Kren, you misunderstood. What I want to buy is not some mysterious thing. I am a businessman and the owner of an electronics factory. I am not interested in what you expect."

Mr. Kren was relieved. "So what are you interested in, my friend? Maybe I can help you."

"I want to acquire a company's display device patents and color TV technology in the United States. As you know, my company manufactures electronic products, and I want to expand my product line of consumer electronics. This is not difficult for you."

Kelun was a little curious: "Why don't you just take action?"

Lou Shouxing smiled: "Just like it's hard for you to get the goods that I can get, maybe you are better at dealing with them. Professional matters should be left to professionals, right?"

Mr. Kren agreed with his statement very much: "You are right, Mr. Lou. In this regard, we are indeed more suitable than you. I am very honored to be able to help you. I will try my best. As for the color TV technology, I can guarantee that even if I can't acquire it in Citigroup, I will get it from our country for you. I can even give you our domestic color TV technology first. Mr. Lou, I think our deal has been concluded?"

At this time, John Bull still had a lot of industrial products on hand, unlike decades later when his industrial assets were almost completely destroyed.

Television technology is advanced these days and involves huge economic interests, but it is not a very sensitive thing. Compared with the goods in Lou Shouxing's hands, this transaction is still worth it. Besides, Mr. Lou paid for it, so it is a normal technology transaction.

Zhenxing Electric is a Hong Kong company. Hong Kong was the jewel in the Queen's crown at that time. For John Bull, the color TV technology did not leak out.

Lou Shouxing reached out and shook the hand he extended: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Kren."

The two men shook their hands vigorously a few times and then withdrew them.

The hair on this foreigner's hands is really prickly, Lou Shouxing complained in his heart.

Not long after, Gao Zhendong received the document sent by Lou Shouxing from Hong Kong Island. When he opened it, he found that it was the production technology of color TV.

However, what is strange is that this speed is a bit too fast. Moreover, according to the information, this technology did not come from RCA in the United States, but from a John Bull factory. However, Gao Zhendong did not recognize the name. It is estimated that it disappeared in the long river of history in the following decades.

Gao Zhendong took a look through it and found it very complete and basically ready to use.

He also saw Lou Shouxing's letter, and then he realized that it was John Bull's people who provided the technology first, which is why it was so fast. I really don't know how Lou Shouxing managed to knock this thing out of John Bull first.

He picked up the phone and called the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.

Gao Zhendong plans to transfer this technology directly to the 12th Ministry of Machine Building. Now that he has it, why not let the people in the country enjoy it sooner?
Moreover, this kind of thing is beneficial to the Lou family.

Even though decades later, televisions may seem like common goods to us, in those days, they were enough to alarm the leaders of ministries.

Our first color TV was not produced until the end of 1970 at the Haihekou TV Factory. Actually, there is not much difference between color TV and black and white TV. To put it bluntly, it is mainly because of the difference in fluorescent materials.

When the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building answered the phone and learned that it was Gao Zhendong, he was very surprised and also a little happy.

Although Gao Zhendong could call his desk directly, this didn't happen very often.

Now that he called, the most likely possibility was that he had some good news.

Sure enough, Gao Zhendong did not keep the person in suspense, but explained the matter directly.

You can keep your own stuff a secret, but there’s no need to keep it secret if it’s something you got from outside. This kind of pretense is not pure enough. I don’t pretend.

"Hello, leader. Good news. My wife's elder brother got a color TV production technology from John Bull."

"Color TV? What a great thing! With all the information?" The leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building were very happy. This thing was in great demand whether for their own use or for export.

At this time, color TVs had just started mass production, and they brought this thing back? "I've seen it, it's very complete, basically at the level where you can produce it once you learn it. I brought this thing here just to learn from it, we don't have this thing here. Do you think you can send someone over as soon as possible to make a copy? It would be a great thing if the masses can use color TVs as soon as possible."

The 17th Ministry of Machine Building had nothing to do with color televisions, but the 12th Ministry of Machine Building was in charge of it. When the leaders heard this, they were surprised that Comrade Gao Zhendong was still so selfless that he donated the technology that his family had obtained.

Color TVs are not important for food or clothing, but the people really like them. By the way, the economic assistance association and the government like them too.

At this time, the Russians' color televisions were basically in a state of abandonment, let alone the countries of the Economic Cooperation Council.

Even though we don’t have color TV reception ourselves for the time being, it’s great to have takeout.

Thinking of this, the leaders of the 1th Ministry of Machine Building were very excited. Needless to say, if they could produce color TV within one year, it would be a great thing!
"Okay, okay! Thank you so much, Comrade Zhendong. I'll send someone to get it right away!"

There is no need to say too many words of thanks. To Gao Zhendong, these words seem a little pale and powerless.

This is how the relevant personnel of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building recalled the process of him going to obtain the technical information decades later.

"...This document, which opened the door to large-scale exports of home appliances in my country, was casually placed on the table by Comrade Gao Zhendong. If he had not handed it to me personally when I arrived, I would never have thought that such important technical information was so casual in his eyes. Perhaps compared with other achievements from his hands, this technology, which was originally created overseas and later improved by him, is indeed nothing, but for our electronics industry, it has opened the door to a new world..."

Later, this information was handed over to the Haihekou TV Factory by the 12th Ministry of Machine Building. In a miraculous way, the original history completed a fateful cycle here.

After Gao Zhendong handed the information over to the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, he did not rush to make improvements. If he did it too quickly, it would scare people. After all, his method of "improvement" was just to buy a TV in the system store and copy the manual after the system modification. There was basically no time cost, so he would have to wait for some time before making any improvements.

When he got home from get off work, the couple had just finished their meal and were one washing dishes while the other was reading a book when they heard a quarrel at the back of the courtyard. It was quite lively.

The couple look at each other, let's go, go, go~~~~~~
When they rushed to the backyard, they saw Qin Huairu from the middle yard with her child blocking the door of Liu Haizhong's house and cursing.

Sha Zhu is also here. If Qin Huairu has something to do, then that means he has something to do.

However, what was different from the past was that Banggeng did not stick to Shazhu like usual, but stayed away from him and looked at Shazhu with resentment.

What's wrong? This child wasn't like this before.

Gao Zhendong and his wife looked a little strange, but said nothing and just watched the fun from the side.

When people are arguing, just watch the fun without getting involved.

The matter is not complicated. Those unlucky kids in Liu Haizhong have brought forward what happened a few years later in the TV series to the present.

Perhaps the children had a dispute while playing, which was a very common thing among the children in the compound. Banggeng and the other children in Liuhai started quarreling.

Banggeng has been hanging out with Shazhu for a long time, and although he hasn't learned anything else from him, he has learned a lot from his bad mouth. Even though his sons in Liu Haizhong have several sons, they have never scolded him.

The children of Old Liu's family were anxious. When children get angry, they don't speak as tactfully as adults, and they also saw some things that they shouldn't have seen.

"...Bang Geng, I saw your mother holding hands with the idiot from the middle school! Your mother is having an affair..."

At this age, Banggeng probably knew what "having an affair" meant, and he was at his most sensitive age. When he heard this, he shouted and rushed forward to fight with the kids from Lao Liu's family.

The result, naturally, was not good. He was beaten black and blue by the children of Old Liu's family.

Banggeng returned home feeling aggrieved and was seen by his grandmother.

"Oh my, my eldest grandson, what happened to you? Who did it?" Jia Zhang was heartbroken because this was the only child in the Jia family.

Banggeng refused to say anything until Qin Huairu came home from get off work, then he vented all his grievances on his mother.

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was furious. For orphans and widows, the most taboo thing is to be bullied. Once they get used to being bullied, then the bullied will also get used to it, and the bullies will also get used to it.

In Qin Huairu's opinion, this precedent must never be set!

She took the stick and went to settle the score with the Liu family. No matter what, it was wrong for several children to beat one person, and to beat him like this.

Bang Geng refused to go and said something shocking: "No, no, no! It's all your fault! They said you and Uncle He were having an affair!"
