Chapter 26 Before the Festival

Anders Helsberg is the world's top compiler expert. His joining made the Keemun team feel like a tiger, and the R&D progress and work quality have reached a new level. By February 15, Du Qiu felt that there was no problem in completing the reservation plan before April 1, so he took both public and private affairs, and gave the R&D team, who had worked overtime for one and a half months in the name of celebrating the traditional Chinese festival, and gave them seven days off to return home and traveling to the capital to reunite with their families and participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

In order to pick up Du Cunzhi, Du Chunhua and Lin Jinyan returned to their hometown in Northeast China last week. Lin Dawei was too young to take Lin Jiayu around in the middle of winter and stayed in Yuncheng. So when Du Qiu took a plane to the capital on the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, only Jiang Danfeng and her parents were with him.

With his parents beside him, Jiang Danfeng was quite quiet, and Du Qiu had no topics to communicate with his two elders, so he bought a bunch of newspapers and magazines while waiting for the plane. When he finished reading the editorial on the front page of Guangming Daily discussing the reform of the higher education system, he couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Chen Zhiyang has good methods, it seems that the overall situation of enrollment expansion has been decided."

In January, the hot discussion caused by the "think-different" advertisement was like the fields blowing through the spring breeze. At first, flowers and plants were overgrown, and all kinds of strange topics were discussed. However, after a period of time, all kinds of weeds were either cleaned up or withered by themselves, leaving only three controversies. After rounds of war of words, the popularity remained unabated.

One of these three controversies is whether Du Qiu is qualified to be compared with those world-class technology celebrities and business leaders. One is whether the doctrine of meanism is the culprit that endangers China's scientific and technological innovation, and the other is why China's education system cannot cultivate world-class scientific and technological talents.

The first controversy belongs to the gossip of Guan Gong and Qin Qiong. The man has reason, and the mother has reason, and no one can convince anyone, but the melon-eating crowd likes it and is very down-to-earth, so the popularity is the most; the second controversy is a metaphysical empty topic, and most people cannot understand what mean is, and rely on the self-interpretation of the text to express themselves. As a result, the more quarrels and the more quarrels, the more chaotic it becomes, it is meaningless; the third controversy belongs to the "Qian Xuesen Question" that broke out ten years in advance, and is highly valued by people from all walks of life. Unfortunately, the topic is too broad and complex, and no one can explain it clearly. Although it is very concerned, no one can give an answer, so the popularity is the lowest.

By the beginning of February, the heat of three controversies suddenly changed, and the third topic began to appear frequently in many official media, but the content was replaced. It was no longer a questioning and denying the education system, but a belief that the education system was fine. The problem was that the education base was too small. As long as the base was expanded, there would naturally be more talents, so universities needed to expand enrollment.

Chinese people attach importance to education and are practical. The expansion of university enrollment involves the interests of thousands of students, teachers and parents. Therefore, this topic almost surpassed Du Qiu's false reputation and boring ideology overnight, becoming the hottest topic before the Spring Festival in 1996, and its attention even exceeded that of the Spring Festival Gala.

The transformation node of the public opinion media is very coincidental and linked to another thing, that is, Chen Zhiyang went to Beijing to meet Yan Shengrong on February 1.

Chen Zhiyang was an old fox who planned it before he could move. Since he learned that he had the opportunity to go to Yunda to become the principal, he held the article that argued for the necessity of university expansion in his hands in the name of further polishing and revision. It was not until he confirmed in Beijing that there was no problem with the Ministry of Machinery Industry that he handed the article to Hou Chengzong and asked him to help submit it to the Ministry of Education.

Hou Chengzong was very powerful. Not only did he quickly submit the article through his own channels, but he also contacted dozens of academicians of the two academies who also supported the expansion of enrollment and signed names on it, greatly enhancing their weight and influence.

According to Liu Yunlai's introduction, the readers of Guangming Daily are mainly intellectuals and have a special status. They often assume the function of a touchstone for public opinion. When the country formulates major policies, they make noises in advance to test the reactions of the elite. In this editorial exploring the reform of the higher education system, the arguments, arguments and statistical data are exactly the same as those produced by Chen Zhiyang, and it is obviously intentional. Therefore, after reading the editorial, Du Qiu believed that the overall situation of enrollment expansion had been decided.

At this time, Jiang Danfeng, who took his parents to the airport shop, came back, holding a paper bag with fragrance and asked, "Du Qiu, do you eat fried chestnuts with candy? These are wild hairy chestnuts and they taste very good."

"Give me some to taste."

"You read the newspaper, I'll help you peel it." Jiang Danfeng sat down next to Du Qiu, took out a box of second-hand tape from his down jacket pocket, and said with a smile: "Look, this is what I bought from the store owner's daughter for 10 yuan just now."

It was a box of hodgepodge pirated music tapes. The cover was printed with photos of several female celebrities in a collage form. The most eye-catching one was Jiang Danfeng, and there were two lines of advertising slogans written in bold bold words next to it - "The Snapdragon Queen sang publicly for the first time!" "Sweet and beautiful songs, the enjoyment of billionaires!"

"Ha! This pirated product tastes good." Du Qiu took the tape and looked at the list of tracks printed on the back. Seeing that it was full of popular songs by several queens in 1995, he said with a smile: "You can actually mix with Lin Yilian, Faye Wong and the others in the same album, which means you are really popular."

"It's a pity that it's pirated, so sales cannot be counted." Jiang Danfeng was unwilling to accept it and said, "My Dream is now being put on the streets and alleys, but we don't give us a dime copyright fee."

"Don't care about sales, it's enough to be famous." Du Qiu returned the tape to her and said, "After the Spring Festival, you can use this as a bargaining chip when you go to Hong Kong to sign a contract with EMI, so that they can increase their conditions. After all, you are the queen killer who is now overwhelming Lam Yilian and Faye Wong."

"It makes sense." Jiang Danfeng turned anger into joy, and he laughed and put away the tape, saying, "I didn't expect that I became so popular, like a dream. I became a famous singer in just over a month."

"You underestimate yourself too much. In fact, you are not a famous singer now, but a historical singer, at the same level as Teresa Teng."

"I'm so frustrated?"

"Of course." Du Qiu smiled slightly and said, "It's just that Teresa Teng will write into the history of Chinese pop music, and you will write into the history of China's Internet development."

This is a fact. "My Dream" is the first musical work in history that is not on TV or on record, and it is purely spread by the Internet. It has become popular overnight, which is very representative. Therefore, if someone writes the history of the development of China's Internet, as a singer, Jiang Danfeng will definitely be a name that cannot be avoided.

But at this time, no one knew that the Internet would completely subvert the traditional music industry in the next few years, so Jiang Danfeng just thought Du Qiu was joking and didn't take it to heart. After feeding his two chestnuts in a fancy way, he asked: "Du Qiu, you said you were going to Hong Kong for a while last time. When did you plan to go?"

"It's in May. After the IView is launched, I plan to take a vacation for about half a year. I will go to Hong Kong and Europe at that time."

"Hong Kong will return next year. Kwong Mei-yun said that the housing prices there have been rising and advised me to buy one. It will not only be convenient for living, but also appreciate in value. What do you think?"

Isn’t it because I went to Hong Kong to buy a house in 1996 to wait for the leeks to be cut? Du Qiu put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, “Do you want to live in Hong Kong permanently?”

"If I sign a contract with Emi, I have to go there often to participate in various activities." Jiang Danfeng looked at his expression and said with a smile: "Do you want me to be too far away from you?"

"Where you want to live is your freedom." Du Qiu spread his hands and said, "Hong Kong's entertainment industry is strong outside and strong. It seems prosperous, but in fact it has declined. I don't think you need to waste too much time there, to plaster a few years, learn some advanced vocal skills and business concepts, and then return to the mainland to develop, and your future will be better, just like Faye Wong."

Hong Kong is a dream place for mainlanders in the 1990s. Jiang Danfeng has always had the idea of ​​moving to the past. At this moment, he heard Du Qiu say that she can let her go, but his tone is quite dissatisfied. He immediately gave up this idea and changed his words: "I didn't say that I would live in Hong Kong forever, but I just lived occasionally. I don't know Cantonese, and I can't communicate with locals, so life is very inconvenient."

"If you stay occasionally, you'd better stay in a hotel. Don't rush to buy a house." Du Qiu tucked her chin with his fingers and said, "When you become a big star in a few years, I'll go to Hong Kong to buy a villa and a golden house to hide the beauty."
