"Hey! Isn't this Sima? Long time no see, what's wrong with your head?"

  Walking on the streets of a small town, Sima still wrapped his head with thick gauze, always attracting attention from others. In this kind of small place, it's easy to run into acquaintances on the street, and Sima had already lost count of how many people he had exchanged greetings with.

  No wonder normally Sima is the kind of person who keeps a low profile and walks carefully, this kind of person is hard to notice on the street. But now it's different, with a turban wrapped around his head like an Indian Sikh, if he doesn't attract attention while walking on the main street then that would be strange, among them are some people who had more or less interacted with him in the past.

  Exchange a few pleasantries, and then ask about Sima's head, which is now normal, after all, many people in the small town are curious, and when the other person expresses deep sympathy, Sima quickly makes an excuse to leave.

  "Brilliant streets, suddenly..."

  Just then, Sima's phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was the number of that cigarette machine guy, what was his name again? Wu something? Sima thought it wasn't necessary to remember names like these, people in this line of work rarely used their real names anyway.

  "Hey! What did you say? Has the goods arrived? Arrived in town?"

  Simma answered the phone and said that in just three days, the other party had transported all the goods designated by Simma to Xiaocheng. This was a call to ask Simma where these machines were placed.

  "Ah! That's the warehouse, the old company's warehouse. Just ask along that road and you'll know, I'm taking a taxi there now. See you at the warehouse in a bit."

  He gave him directions to the warehouse over the phone, although the warehouse was a bit far from the city center. However, because it was an old company's warehouse, people in the surrounding area had known its location for decades, so as long as they asked around, they could easily find the place.

  Twenty minutes later, the driver saw a semi-truck with a thick canvas cover on its cargo compartment parked in front of the warehouse gate from afar. It hadn't entered the yard, apparently because it didn't have a delivery order issued by the company and was refused entry by the daytime warehouse manager.

  As for why another daytime administrator was hired, a major reason is that my older cousin is only one person and can't be watching all the time. The daytime shift is basically no problem as long as the person is reliable. Anyway, it's just a warehouse administrator who earns several hundred yuan per month. Moreover, he normally wouldn't have any opportunity to enter the No. 3 warehouse.

  "Ah! Boss, what's with this? Just a few days without seeing you, and that bastard has opened up your head."

  As soon as Sima got out of the taxi, the middle-aged man who was standing next to a semi-trailer and preparing to make a call quickly put down his phone, somewhat shocked by Sima's appearance.

  "Let that blind fool be scolded for a while! Never mind, you've done a good job! It only took two hours to get the machine here. And who is this?"

  Simma waved at him and saw a young man standing beside him, so he asked, "Is this driver still sitting in the driver's seat? Obviously, he is not the driver."

  "This is our factory's technical staff member. He will be responsible for training you on how to use these machines."

  A middle-aged man handed a cigarette to Sima and introduced the young man beside him

  "Old horse! Open this big gate and let them in."

  Simma walked to the security room opposite the big gate and told the old man watching the door that he was actually a warehouse manager, but in fact, he wasn't. He just let him watch the door. Although this old man was older, he was good at his work and never asked any questions. Unlike Old Hu before, he was a completely different person. Letting him watch the door, Old Ma honestly watched the door.

  "Boss, this place is pretty good! It's just a bit close to the city."

  After the car drove into the warehouse, the middle-aged man smiled and said that setting up a cigarette factory in such an innermost warehouse was not a bad choice. It's just that it's closer to the city and closer to residential areas. Otherwise, it would be a good place to make cigarettes.

  After these machines were unloaded in Warehouse No. 3, they were unpacked and tested according to Sima's instructions for the ZJ14 rolling machine set. In fact, it didn't need much debugging, and it was also teaching Sima how to operate this machine. Operating this type of rolling machine looks very simple, with half a knife, a paper tray, and loading material, except that installing the knife is a bit more troublesome, but other things are quite easy to get started.

  "Boss, you're almost there. These 200 boxes of discs and over 300 boxes of filter tips are free for you. This is the operation manual CD, just follow it and you won't go wrong. If there's any problem, just call me directly. If you need any discs, filter tips, packaging boxes or logos, just give me a call, we have everything ready. As for the tobacco thread, boss, we already have the equipment to cut and mix the ingredients, so you don't need to bother others."

  When leaving, the middle-aged man said to Sima, before this, Sima really didn't think that this thing actually had an operational teaching CD. Now these merchants have gone to great lengths to promote their own products!

  "If we turn these discs into black and white, do some minor processing, and then project them with a projector, can't they be used as educational films for those workers?"

  Simma looked at the dozen or so discs of instructional videos and thought, if it were that easy, it would save a lot of effort. Simma suddenly realized that if they all did it this way, wouldn't it be saving himself a great deal of trouble? He could just find someone to produce these instructional discs and then do some processing to make them seem like movies.

  Then play it with a projector for those workers to watch. This way, those workers can learn to operate the machine while watching the teaching video. For machines like this that are relatively simple to operate, they can be taught first and then some written materials can be provided for professional technicians to study slowly.

  "I'll tell you, let's take the content of this disc and first turn it into black and white, then adjust the light to make it a bit darker, and see if we can get some small dots on the picture, like in movies, what do you think?"

  In a professional digital data production company, Sima said to his boss.

  "You mean to make the video content here close to a black and white movie, is that the effect?"

  The boss understood what Sima meant, which was just to make a simple movie effect out of the content here.

  "Uh-huh! That's right, just make it like a movie effect. As long as it looks a bit like a movie effect, that's fine."

  Simar has seen these discs, all of which were shot with a DV camera. Although Simar is just an amateur, he can also see that the shooting is not professional, but it's precisely because of this unprofessional shaking and so on that makes Simar feel more realistic. If it could be made into a black-and-white old movie effect, I estimate that using a projector to show it should be able to deceive those who have never seen a movie before.

  "This is simple, make a plate for 200 yuan, you have thirteen plates in total. Collecting 2400 yuan from you is enough."

  Although the shop owner's words were simple, the price he asked for was not easy to accept at all. He directly quoted over 2,000 yuan for more than a dozen dishes, which is not a small amount of money.

  Although I regret that the boss of this store is a bit dark-hearted, there's nothing I can do about it now. No choice, who let me be in need of others?

  "Take this clip away from me."

  Seeing the more than 10-minute cigarette-rolling machine advertisement at the beginning of the CD, I knew it was that middle-aged man who sold me the machine by his non-standard Mandarin.

  "What... is this?"

  Obviously, the shop owner was surprised to see that the content of the disc was an advertisement for a cigarette-making machine. Anyone with some common sense would know that such a thing is definitely illegal. Who would need this except for counterfeit cigarettes?

  "Don't even think about asking me for a penny, just help me get it done."

  Obviously, the power of money is always strong, and people often choose to succumb to it. In this money-worshiping society, no one can get by without money, let alone just helping someone with some video recording, which shouldn't be illegal anyway.

  "Ah! That's it! Just like this effect. Give me a bit more of those light spots and speckles. It looks like the kind of old movie projection effect. Right, right, that's it!"

  Looking at the visual effects on the disc, with constant adjustments getting closer and closer to what he wanted, Sima kept expressing his own views on how to make the picture look more like an old movie.

  Until 1910, the invention of sound film by Edison in the United States was still years away from entering China. However, this did not prevent Sima from wanting to use modern digital technology to modify teaching discs and project them onto a screen using an epidiascope in 1915. However, it is clear that such a projector would not be suitable for projecting these educational "movies" outdoors to workers, allowing them to learn how to operate cigarette-rolling machines and silk-reeling machines according to the instructions on the disc.

  But this exterior is just a square box projector and it's obviously not suitable for appearing in front of people, let alone wanting to play these discs also requires the use of a computer.

  If you don't want people to see these at that time, unless a simple projection room is built, and the materials are projected specifically for them. Sima himself operates these devices in the projection room, it seems that the house he originally wanted to use as a garage was used as a projection room, and the size is quite suitable. There can be about twenty people inside.

  "01, this is 02. Target just came out of the computer company."

  "Roger that, roger that, continue tracking, continue tracking!"

  A business vehicle on the side of the road had several police officers inside, holding binoculars and observing a target walking along the roadside while giving orders through a walkie-talkie. Behind the target, a man and woman wearing casual clothes, resembling a couple, were tailing the target at a distance of less than five meters.

  Simma walked on the road, occasionally patting his backpack. If it weren't for wanting to give them teaching videos, Simma would have almost forgotten that he had wanted to buy a laptop computer so much. Today, he finally got what he wanted. In another handheld bag was a projector, all of which were just purchased from a computer company for nearly 20,000 yuan.
