Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 991 Men also love gossip

Every night, watching TV at the gate of the automobile factory has become a daily entertainment for many people around.

As long as it doesn't rain, even in the middle of winter, the TV will still be surrounded by three layers of decorations.

Not only the residents nearby, but some people would rather walk for half an hour and come here.

Middle-aged men also enjoy not only watching TV but also finding a few people to chat about gossip.

Don’t think that men don’t like to gossip. What they talk about are not family matters, but national policies and international situations.

Especially what advanced weapons that country has and why the two countries are fighting.

That country is powerful, that country is timid. Sometimes they argue over the smallest differences and end up getting red in the face.

When no one can convince anyone else, that's when everyone quietly watches the news broadcast.

Whenever the news broadcast reports again that the people of that country are in dire straits, the discussion will begin again.

"I tell you, Hussein will never be able to defeat Persia. You can tell that from the land area and population of the two countries."

"Is this what war is all about? If that were the case, we should have beaten Xiao Zi to death. But what happened?"

"How can it be the same? At the beginning, we had no industrial capacity at all, and our equipment was far behind others.

The two countries of Hussein and Persia are equally matched, and now it comes down to who has greater potential for war.

Just like our country, if the territory is smaller and there is no strategic depth, it would be dangerous. "

"Huh, you are short-sighted. Do you know what war is? War is the continuation of politics.

This is no longer the World War II era. Behind every country there is a big country supporting it.

Is this a comparison of our own national strength? This is a comparison of how much support the country behind us will provide. "

Seeing that the other party was speechless, he immediately became like a victorious general returning home.

"Let me tell you something. We all know that there are two superpowers in the world. They each have their own followers, or camps.

But considering the situation in recent years, the northern superpower is not far from falling apart."

After hearing what this person said, everyone around looked over.

The person who had been speechless by him before finally found an opportunity to fight back.

"Bullshit. The Northern Powerhouse was our big brother back then.

How shocking is that steel torrent, and how it will collapse? Impossible."

“Humph, I don’t even want to talk about the world situation with someone like you who knows nothing.

Think about how these two military powers treat their allies. Let’s start from the beginning and you’ll understand once I explain.

Just talk about the South Korean War, you say that they are bullying you, the little brother? And what did the big country in the north do?

If our country hadn't sent troops, South Korea would have been finished long ago, am I right?"

"That doesn't mean anything."

"Don't worry, there's more to come. Pharaoh was defeated in the Middle East War, what did the northern powers do?

When someone else's younger brother beats up your younger brother, you just watch and give him some innocuous weapons from stock?

Then came South Vietnam, which was also a younger brother of the northern power, right? This time it was beaten again. But look at what the northern power did again?

There are many examples like this, and I am too lazy to talk about many things.

He only thought about taking advantage of his younger brothers, and only remembered to give them something to eat when he had money.

When a younger brother is bullied, he will just stand aside and watch indifferently, and at most shout a few words of encouragement to you. Can you tell me how to be a boss like this?

When two bosses lead a group of thugs to fight, shouldn't it be soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals?

The boss brought a group of people to bully you, and you just watched? Or shouted a few words of encouragement?

Even if you take these little brothers to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, it will be useless, right?

You are such a coward, boss. I can just follow the boss over there and still have the same good food and drinks. Why should I follow you?

If people lose their morale, the team will be hard to lead and will eventually fall apart."

I have to say that what this man said was quite insightful. Many people at the scene fell into deep thought after hearing his words.

When Wu Wentao moved the TV out of the office, he was a little puzzled as to why these people were so quiet today.

You have to know that this time of year is usually when men brag and chat.

"We won't be watching TV today. Let's play the movie Shaolin Temple on TV.

Many people may have watched it, but the TV show is not that good to watch, it’s better to watch a movie.

I'll go back tomorrow to see if there are any other movies showing."

Those who gather here to watch TV every night are naturally not from wealthy families. Most of them do not have money to buy a TV, or are unwilling to spend so much money on one.

Going to the cinema to watch a movie costs money, so at most they would just let their children go, but they themselves would not be willing to spend the money.

This movie was really popular a few years ago, so I am naturally happy to be able to watch it at this time.

It doesn't matter what you watch, it's just a way to kill time, watching a movie is better.

“I haven’t watched Shaolin Temple yet, thank you Captain Wu.

But the TV screen is too small. I’d rather watch movies on a big screen.”

"It's good enough to see some of them, but you're still being picky. If you don't want to see them, just leave. Don't just stand there and not do anything."

"Who said I won't watch it anymore? I just said it's more comfortable to watch on a big screen."

At this time, after Wu Wentao installed the VCD and put the disc in place, the movie started playing immediately.

In an era when entertainment activities were scarce, being able to watch TV was a good thing.

Many people who had not seen the movie began to stare at the TV seriously.

Fortunately, there are few people with myopia in this era, otherwise we would not be able to see from a distance.

The scene immediately became quiet; even the children who always loved to run around sat quietly in front of the TV.

More than an hour later, as the movie ended, some grown men who had never been to a movie theater couldn't help but sigh.

“That’s why young people nowadays love to go to the cinema. This movie is so good.

If I were a few years younger, I would go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Wu Wentao carefully checked the VCD. Apart from finding that the outer shell was a little hot, there were no other problems.

After playing it for several consecutive days, Wu Wentao once again walked into Chen Changan's office holding the VCD.

"Director, this VCD is really useful. After using it for so many days, I found two problems that can't really be considered faults.

One is that the noise is a little bit loud. It is not obvious outdoors, but you can hear some sound indoors or next to a VCD.

Secondly, after more than an hour of playback, the outer shell will be a little hot.

I only play it for an hour or so each time and then turn it off.

It’s unclear whether the shell will get hotter over time.”
