Chapter 27: The Spring Festival
Zheng Yan and Tang Hao did not go back to Shencheng, but went directly back to their hometown in Shanghai, and their parents had already returned to Shanghai to prepare for the New Year.
The current Spring Festival is full of flavor, although there is still a week before the New Year, but everywhere is full of festivities. The day after returning to his hometown, Zheng Yan was called by his grandfather to accompany him to write Spring Festival couplets.
The old man had no other hobbies in his later years, and since he retired, he likes to write, play chess, and play with flowers and plants. Zheng Yan didn't want to sweep away the old man's interest.
Zheng Yan is responsible for researching ink, and the old man is responsible for writing. After writing a pair, the old man would appreciate himself, and then let Zheng Yan take it aside to dry.
"Xiaoyan, how is it? Grandpa's writing is okay, right?" The old man seemed to be interested, and even pulled his grandson and asked him to comment on his own words.
Although Zheng Yan doesn't know calligraphy, he also knows that the old man's handwriting is like that. The old man only went to a private school for a few years, and later participated in the revolution to work, how could he have the time to practice calligraphy. But in order to make grandpa happy, he still said: "I see grandpa you wrote this word, with a pen upright, ink evenly, although I don't know calligraphy, but grandpa must have seen the door of calligraphy." ”
Although these are all words of praise for beginners, the old man is still very happy, holding his own written Spring Festival couplets, and reading them over and over again.
Next, Zheng Yan, who had nothing to do, went into the study again and squatted in front of the computer every day.
Zheng Yan knows too much about the current era, and knows that not only China is undergoing unprecedented changes, but the whole world is also experiencing major events. As long as you grasp the several changes in the past few years, you will have the capital to show your strength.
When Zheng Yan was constantly busy, the New Year arrived.
From the beginning of the palm lamp, the sound of firecrackers was heard one after another.
Since 1983, when the first Spring Festival Gala was held in China, it can be said that it has been a reserved program for the Chinese people on Chinese New Year's Eve for more than ten years. The 1987 Spring Festival Gala has begun to have an official host, Li Moran , Wang Gang , Li Xiaojun , Jiang Kun took the lead as the host of the Spring Festival Gala.
The beginning of the song and dance performance, although there is no gorgeous stage special effects in later generations, is also unique.
With the release of the Chinese policy of one country, two systems, especially the determination of the return time of Hong Kong, singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan have also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala one after another. Hong Kong singer Ye Liyi, this time sang "We Meet and Break Up" and "Give You the Sun of Tomorrow". Terrace singer Fei Xiang sang "Hometown Clouds" and "A Fire in Winter".
The people of Shanghai have the custom of keeping the New Year, and the old man will go to rest first because he is old.
Early the next morning, after the New Year's worship, Zheng Yan called Tang Hao, took his cousin Zheng Peng, and went to the Longhua temple fair, the temple fair is also an important traditional folk project, as the former broken four old objects, the Longhua temple fair has just flourished in recent years.
All kinds of small traders and vendors set up stalls and shouted at passers-by. From time to time, pedestrians will stop and bargain. The streets are filled with all kinds of noises and noise, and all kinds of tastes of dead food.
Zheng Yan was strolling around while eating various snacks. From time to time I stop to watch the various shows, juggling. Zheng Yan enjoyed the state of affairs at the moment, because he himself did not know if he would have the opportunity to stop and enjoy these scenery in the future. Or maybe when he has time, the scenery is still there.
Compared with Zheng Yan's leisure and comfort, Zhao Weimin is in dire straits.
Zheng Yan can hide the affairs of his family's company, but how can Zhao Weimin hide it?
Since the last time Zheng Yan and his father collapsed, Zhao Weimin has been avoiding the issue of going home, but when it comes to the Spring Festival, Zhao Weimin has no escape, and there is no way to avoid it.
At Zhao Weimin's house, his father Zhao Yuanshan, eldest brother Zhao Weiguo and second brother Zhao Weijun were sitting in their father's study talking about their work during this time.
"The eldest brother Zhao Weiguo is already a deputy director of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance, and he happens to work under his father; the second brother Zhao Weijun is also a major squadron leader with real power in a special brigade of the Capital Military Region. But what are you? I'm just a college student, why are you talking about you, why are you calling me?" Zhao Weimin thought to himself.
"Weimin, aren't you going to report to me what you've done during this time?"
Hearing his father call himself, Zhao Weimin suddenly came back to his senses, "I didn't do anything?"
"What's the deal with the extra 10 million Huaxia dollars and 12 million dollars in your company's account? What about the equipment that your company imported from the United States? In addition, let's talk about the house in your name one by one. ”
Hearing Zhao Yuanshan's words, Zhao Weiguo and Zhao Weijun were directly stunned. What is the concept of 10 million Chinese coins and 12 million US dollars? As Zhao Weiguo, who works in the Ministry of Finance, knows very well that many state-owned enterprises do not have such a large profit a year. Zhao Weimin registered the company, Zhao Weiguo knew, after all, he handled it, but what happened to this money?
"Dad, don't you know? Our company developed a software, and later we sold the overseas patent license of the software to Sony in Japan, and the money was the first year's patent fee. And the batch of equipment purchased is the server purchased by our company. As you know, the reason why we couldn't use that software in the past was because there were no servers. As for the house, the company was established by the four of us together, and after the money arrived, Zheng Yan thought that everyone else would have to settle down in the capital in the future, so he bought a house directly in the capital, and he bought it there, so I bought a set by the way. Zhao Weimin explained.
No wonder Zheng Yan was unwilling to be funded by the state and developed by the state, it turned out that he had already thought of a way. Zhao Yuanshan muttered to himself. "Now that your company has money, what are your plans next?"
"At present, our company has recruited 20 sales personnel and conducted systematic training. In addition, a college student who will graduate next year is also recruited to be the manager in charge of the company's operations in the later stage, after all, several of us still have to go to school. As for the promotion of the product, we plan to start this year when everyone returns to the capital. After all, that's when the servers we ordered arrived. Speaking of the company's affairs, Zhao Weimin was unequivocal. "As for the scope of the promotion, we are still preparing to start with the capital first, and there are three main reasons for this. First, there is the issue of manpower. At present, our company has too few personnel, and it is impossible to fully roll out the national market. Second, the software itself. It is inevitable that there will be problems with any product after it is launched, and if it is only in the capital, we can also solve it in time and make remedial measures. The third is our company's hunger marketing strategy. As the political, economic and cultural center of the country, as long as we do a good job in the capital's market, enterprises from all over the country will naturally come to visit. ”
Seeing Zhao Weimin, who was the head of the road, Zhao Yuanshan also muttered in his heart, "Is Weimin really suitable for doing business?"
Dong Chuan, who is also a veteran of the company, has a much more dull Spring Festival.
Dong Chuan went home for the Chinese New Year and gave his parents 1,000 yuan, saying that it was his scholarship for the last semester. In addition, I told my parents that the tuition fee has also been reduced by the school, and I don't have to worry about the tuition fee in the future.
In this way, the Spring Festival of 1987 is over.
Zheng Yan and Tang Hao lived a leisurely and dull life.
Zhao Weimin was tormented.
Dong Chuan was the most satisfied, because of the 1,000 yuan, the family finally had a relatively rich New Year.
