Chapter 546: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (79)

The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Seventy-nine)

Like Lance said, this is the beginning of a new era.

As soon as mobile phones, also known as cell phones, came out, the country immediately issued a host of new policies to endorse them.

For example, everyone can go to the local business office and get a free phone number based on their identity documents.

There are even free, paid, and customized options.

This is Lance's suggestion.

Most people choose free numbers, and these numbers cannot be selected. The numbers that go faster are placed at the front, and the numbers that go slower are placed at the back. The main point is to take a tough attitude, and it also eliminates the problem of some people who have no money but want to pick numbers.

Some people didn't want to get it at first, but when they heard that it was free, or even that the better ones had to pay extra, the DNA in their bones was moved.

"Cao Fang, are you going to pick it up?"

"Of course I will go. Not only me, but I will also get one for the elderly at home. I will also buy them a cell phone. It will be very convenient. If they miss me or something happens to them, they can just call me."

"Oh, you are really generous. You still have to pay the monthly bill for the phone, right? That must cost a lot of money."

Cao Fang put on her newly bought peony-patterned vest and walked out neatly.

"It's better to pay a little money every month than to be late when something really happens. Besides, other people are paying a lot of money to buy it, so why shouldn't we hurry up if we can get it for free?"

She said this and walked away in a hurry. The neighbor couldn't help but mutter something as he looked at her back.

"Why do I feel like getting something for nothing is a bad thing? How can this be given away for free? And the one who made this is none other than Director Lan from your Brilliant Factory 1. Do you really think we don't know? Who knows if you are his hired help?"

There are many people who have this idea, but when I really see my friends and neighbors getting free numbers, and those who have money buy some kind of mobile phone, it’s so convenient to just make a phone call and notify people directly when something happens.

Many people were so envious that their eyes turned red. After seeing the news that several rich people were fighting for some good numbers, they couldn't sit still anymore.

This is a free thing, it would be a waste if you don’t take it!

The penetration rate of the first generation of mobile phones was very high because the policy provided subsidies of 30% for each mobile phone.

A basic mobile phone has a built-in recorder function in addition to basic calling functions. These two functions make this phone sold all over the country.

When the cash flow for the first quarter came out, Director Chang was shocked when he heard about the amount of tax paid by Lance.

"How many, how many?"

He was shaking as he spoke on the phone in his hand, and the other party told him another number.

"…Oh my goodness."

Chang Xin's hands trembled after hearing this number.

He knew that mobile phones were selling well, but he didn't expect that the tax paid in just one quarter would reach a number that he couldn't even imagine.

But the next second Chang Xin calmed down again.

It's not that he wasn't jealous of Lance and the others making money, but mainly because he knew one thing from the beginning: the popularization of mobile phones this time was endorsed by the country, but that was also because Lance had no intention of making money from it at all.

If Lans hadn’t developed the necessary configurations for mobile phones and brought the prices down to the lowest, it would never have been possible to popularize them.

Not to mention that Chang Xin was responsible for following up on Lans's affairs, so he naturally knew that Lans actually spent a lot of money on charity - why was the mobile phone penetration rate in remote areas higher than expected?

All of this was made possible by Lans's investment. I wonder how many people have heard of Director Lan's name now.

Director Chang only knows one side of the story.

It is true that Lance paid the money, but the will of the world was also involved.

The will of the world promised to give them a world gift before he and Song Ning left - this would ensure that when they went to the next world, they would not be too unwelcome by the will of the next world.

To put it simply, the world will put a label on them, which is equivalent to helping them spread the word to other world wills: "These two people are good and helpful to our world will, so everyone should be nicer to them."

This buff was very attractive to Lance, so he reached an agreement with the will of the world.

In addition, since the dozen or so masters came over and Lance disclosed some new technologies to them, the country suddenly gained great confidence.

This confidence comes from powerful and advanced technology. Also because this technology comes from Lens, the country has indeed made great concessions to Lens's proposal to popularize mobile phones.

Lance also spent almost all of his profits to ensure that the deal between him and the world's will could be reached.

Lance did not hide these things from Song Ning. Although Song Ning didn't understand at first, he easily agreed after thinking about it.

He even hugged Lance and agreed with him, "Actually, this is pretty good. What we eat, drink and use are all pretty good now. I see Director Chang comes over every day and brings some things. We can hardly put all the special supplies at home. We don't lack money to spend, so we use the best. There's no point in spending so much money. It's good to do some good deeds."

He was not a luxurious person. When he was working in the loess land, he was always down-to-earth. If there was money Lance earned, he would naturally spend it. If there was nothing to spend, he would also give some of his own money to Lance.

Song Ning was very open-minded and even took the initiative to ask Lance.

"Do you have enough money? If not, I can come to your place and help you. The teacher said recently that I have learned enough and can come to help you."

Lance originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Song Ning's expectant eyes, he agreed for some reason.

What he didn't expect was that with Song Ning's joining, their pace became faster.

It seemed like Song Ning was born with the ability to think of what the needs of this era were. Soon they launched practical home appliances such as electric blankets, induction cookers, rice cookers, etc.

After that, refrigerators, washing machines, and electric fans came into the public eye one by one, and the names of Song Ning and Lance also became household names as these home appliances became popular.

The two of them get up early to exercise together every day, then go to work, eat together in the cafeteria at noon, and occasionally deal with a few foolish people who try to seduce them.

In the evening, Lance would usually take Song Ning to the place Director Chang told them to buy specially supplied fresh vegetables, fruits and meat, and then return to the clean courtyard that Director Chang had hired to take care of it for a long time to cook. After dinner, the two would either go out to see the night view together, or take a walk in the nearby park. Sometimes they would take time to go to concerts and watch movies.

Later, Song Ning became reluctant to move, so Lance bought the property next to the courtyard house and renovated it into a small garden, where he would take Song Ning for a walk every night.

Thanks to a little help from the world's will, they still have a nightlife even when they are seventy years old. This makes Song Ning feel a little embarrassed when he occasionally talks about it, but every time he sees the affection in Lance's blue eyes, he can't say no.

Forget it, Lance will stop doing it when he can’t do it anymore, so just let him be.

What he didn't expect was that it took many years for this idea to finally come true. Until the last second before he closed his eyes, Song Ning still couldn't believe it.

So is Lance's training and maintenance over the years really that effective?
