Chapter 262: Striding Forward
In January 1989, something big happened.
It has nothing to do with the current Chinese, it has to do with the sand sculpture netizens of later generations: Japan's Showa Emperor collapsed, the crown prince Prince Akihito took the throne, and changed Yuan Heisei.
The so-called Showa boys, Heisei abandoned houses, Reiwa social animals, the wheels of history are slowly rolling.
In the morning, the sun is warm.
Xu Million pushed the cart and walked on the Cotai Avenue of reform and opening up, seeing who was cutie.
I have money in my pocket, I don't panic, and my future is bright.
"Xiao Xu!"
"It's a little early!"
"Yo, Xiao Xu is here. ”
"Did you eat it in the morning?"
He walked into the compound of the Asian Organizing Committee and greeted people all the way, all members of the performance team, who came to the meeting today. At the beginning of the new year, it is natural to hold a conference to summarize and arrange.
In a large auditorium, Xu Fei shrank in the corner, listening to a match.
In December, the central government transferred a new leader, surnamed Wu, to serve as the director of the National Sports Commission and the executive chairman of the Asian Games.
There are two main things, one is the Wanwan issue.
In fact, Wanwan is already preparing to participate in the Asian Games, and the same as the Olympic model, instead of the so-called "national flag", the flag will be used instead.
However, it is only defined in English internationally, ChineseTaipei. The mainland translates as Chinese Taipei, and they translate it as Chinese Taipei.
The Asian Organizing Committee specially sent people to negotiate, and later it was agreed that Wanwan could use the title of Chinese Taipei within the scope of the competition, and we would continue to use China.
The second thing is to sing.
The organizing committee has found a lot of composers, but they can't shirk writing. The newly appointed leader happened to have a classmate who was engaged in music, so he contacted him and wrote a song "Holding High the Torch of the Asian Games".
Haven't heard of it, have you?
I haven't heard of it either.
Everyone thought it was a song "Asian Heroes", but it was actually a propaganda song. Because it is a popular song, the leader feels that it is not dignified.
At noon, the meeting ended.
Xu Fei rubbed a meal, turned around again, and found an office.
"Knock knock!"
"Please come in!"
Pushing the door in, there was a person sitting inside, it was the old king who received him last time.
"Xiao Xu, come on, come on, sit down. ”
Lao Wang was very enthusiastic, poured water to make tea, and said with a smile: "I heard that your performance is very outstanding! The leader of the belt he brought back liked it very much, especially the interviews with the local people and the masses. ”
"When we went, it was planned like this, but the conditions were insufficient and the level of filming was limited. ”
"Understand, understand, but this idea is very good, and it is an important supplemental information. ”
Lao Wang handed over a cigarette, "What have you been busy with lately?"
"Write a script. ”
"Oh, a new play?"
"Yes, it's going to be filmed this year. ”
"Then I'll wait and see, hey, by the way, the second part of Hutong is going to be broadcast, right?"
"Just this month. ”
After chatting a few words, Lao Wang got to the point and said: "The sponsorship was approved by the leader, saying that local brands should still be encouraged." ”
Brush!
Xu Fei's eyes lit up immediately, he was emotional, and he didn't pretend to be, "Ouch, hey, I'm here, this is great! Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
"No, no, we have to thank you. The organizing committee is poor, and even a set of costumes has to be considered twice, so I can only rely on your support. ”
Lao Wang took out a contract, "This is a draft agreement, if you have no opinion, you can sign it today." ”
“......”
Xu Fei swept it, two sets of costumes for the opening ceremony, and asked for them to be provided in time, and he also had to pay some sponsorship fees.
Not much.
You must know that in order to sponsor popular events such as the Olympics and men's basketball, brands such as Nike and Adi not only pay sponsorship fees, but also provide additional training expenses for athletes, which is not comparable at all.
He signed it neatly, thought about it and said, "I take the liberty of asking, is the award uniform in place now?"
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, "Do you still want to sponsor award uniforms? You are engaged in fashion fashion, right? Are you good at sportswear?"
"As long as the country needs it, we will do it if we don't do it!"
"This ......"
"Otherwise, I'll bring the sample later, and you can take a look. ”
Get!
When people saw it, this hot patriotic heart was not easy to refuse, so they nodded and agreed.
............
Dad got back 830,000 yuan, plus the capital, plus the profits of the clothing store, the Xu family's assets exceeded one million.
With money, Xu Fei wanted to toss, and the idea of Wuyang Wuyang was squeezed into his head, and he wanted to do everything. To tell the truth, he plays media and entertainment, and he has no bottom in finance, and he can make some money while rubbing it off.
Clothing is also OK, clothing is closely related to the entertainment industry, and there is a lot of income.
He came out of the compound of the Asian Organizing Committee, ran to the Forbidden City, and then went east, across a moat - this place is called Beichizi.
It was full of alleys, and Xu Fei stopped at the door of a house and knocked on the door.
"Squeak!"
Li Chengru's face was revealed, "Yo, why is Teacher Xu free?"
"Wander around and bring good news by the way...... You've got a nice yard!"
When Xu Fei entered the door, he saw that it was also a courtyard house, slightly larger than his own, dilapidated, with a strong atmosphere of life and a large number of people.
"Twenty years ago, it was a broken house. ”
Li Chengru led it inside and said with a smile: "Our family used to live in Fengtai, No. 1 Zhengyang Toutiao, and there were about a dozen rooms. Later, the family didn't have much money, so my mother sold the house and replaced it with a smaller one. ”
"This can't be purely based on the size, it has to look at the location, can Fengtai compare with the Imperial City?"
"It's all the same, and the Imperial City Root doesn't feel anything. When I was a child, I stood on the roof and flew kites, and I could hang them on the corner tower of the Forbidden City. ”
!
You can die if you don't pretend to be forced???
The two of them entered the house, the furnishings were ordinary, not rich, and there were a few antiques in the cabinet. The hostess is not there, she may have gone to work, and there are wedding photos at the bedside, which is very virtuous.
His second wife is more well-known, the magic capital Peking Opera Mei Pai Da Qingyi, Shi Yihong.
Li Chengru will be upside down, import fabrics from the south, and take them back to the capital to do it - he was born in Jingshan Garment Factory. So it's not rich yet, it's accumulating.
"You say good news, I guess it must be a matter of sponsorship, eyebrows?"
"The contract I just signed, the clothes for the opening ceremony were taken down. I first asked for 10,000 pairs of shoes, and made them in batches, of which 1,500 pairs were given to athletes, and this one had to be fast and of the highest quality. ”
"Don't worry, nothing can go wrong!"
Li Chengrule slapped his thigh, and at the same time admired in his heart, how much does it cost to have 10,000 sets?
"We'll have to stay for now, let's have a drink. ”
"Okay, I was just looking to see your collection. ”
"No problem, this way. ”
The two of them entered the wing room, which was similar to Xu Fei's study, which was dedicated to antiques.
Xu Fei first saw a Huanghuali table with more than a dozen small jars on it, and said curiously: "What are you doing with so many cricket jars, you raise crickets?"
"I don't raise it, my dad is good for this. ”
Li Chengru picked up one and fiddled with it, and said: "In the past, we had more than 100 cans in our house, but then they were all smashed, and the most expensive one I remember was two oceans, things in the palace." My mom is messing with my dad, and I can buy a bag of noodles for a piece of ocean!"
"Yo, do you collect antiques or family style?"
"Sort of, my dad has a big influence on me anyway. ”
Xu Fei listened to the ancient lectures and watched them at the same time.
There are a lot of good things, there are more calligraphy and paintings, and they are modern, what Fu Baoshi, Huang Binhong, Li Keran, and Huang Zhou have.
He stopped in front of a painting and looked at it carefully...... Hey, Huang Zhou! In later generations, it was not very valuable, and a piece of zhangliu was sold for more than 100 million.
"In the first few years, I used to collect porcelain, jade and miscellaneous ware, but now there are fewer and fewer of them on the market. You're a good painter, a modern painter, maybe it will appreciate in the future, and I'll take a few when I have time. ”
"I just like it, it doesn't matter if it rises or not, and I don't want to sell it if it rises. ”
The two have a common language on this point, unlike Ma Weidu, who relied on upside-down antiques to make money.
Li Chengru looked at a work by Qi Baishi and said, "When I received this painting, it only cost 5,000 yuan, and now I can't take it away without 20,000 yuan." You said that there are fewer and fewer now, but it's true, the treasures in and out of the city are almost finished, and they will be extinct in a few years. ”
"No, there are fake ones. Let's catch up with the good times, and then the water will be deep. ”
The conversation was very enjoyable, and in the evening, the daughter-in-law came back.
Without saying a word, he set a table of hard dishes and began to drink again. drank more happily, and finally Li Chengru let himself go and invited the guests to go to the roof to see the Forbidden City.
So he took the ladder and climbed up, and when the north wind blew, it froze into two sand sculptures.
Looking at the Forbidden City from this angle, the feeling is absolutely different. The corner tower in the northeast corner stands alone in the cold night, ancient and desolate, and has a sense of meaning.
Xu Fei had to admit it and sighed: "You have a good place!"
"Hehe, in fact, I really don't feel good, not spacious. I'm going to save some money and go to the suburbs to buy a piece of land and build a big courtyard house by myself. Get some more cherry trees, I love cherries, I don't know if I can plant them. I can't plant barren mountains, plums, persimmons, pears, anyway, I love to eat fruits. ”
“......”
Teacher Xu squinted at him, where he sighed for a long time, and couldn't help grinning.
Finally came across someone who could pretend to be more forceful than me!
......
Today seems extraordinarily fulfilling.
Xu Fei was full of energy, said goodbye to Li Chengru, and ran to the two miscellaneous courtyards in Daju Hutong - it was already nine o'clock at this time.
After the alley was completed, the courtyard remained empty. There is still a set layout inside, bleak and desolate, the green vines in the corners of the wall are withered, and the tree stumps have fallen down.
The two courtyards are connected, and the moon gate is connected, adding up to sixteen rooms. It's old, it has to be completely renovated, and I will find an engineering team to come over in the spring.
He sat on a stump and summed up, either as a dormitory, or as a warehouse, or to do something to make a living, and he couldn't live there.
There is no toilet, so I have to go to the public toilet outside.
It is impossible for you to dig your own septic tank in the urban area of Beijing, and you have to renovate the pipe network before you can install the toilet. Sensei said that now, some courtyard houses in later generations still have the problem of no toilet.
“......”
He suddenly remembered the Asian Games Village again, and was ready to sell it to the outside world after the closing.
It is said that the person who wrote "The Fairy Tale King" bought ten houses at once, just to store letters from readers - although it is not an Asian Games village.
You can't be worse than anything.
