Chapter Twenty-Four: The Whole Country Is Boiling
Li Mu has been thinking about how he can use his Internet knowledge to earn his first year of college tuition and a laptop in the summer.
What I never expected was that the first money I earned was actually exchanged for selling songs, and there are really a lot of surprises in life.
When Li Mu got the demo of his two songs, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Kexuan was happy, and he didn't want to let Li Mu, a "genius", leave so quickly, so he dragged him stiffly, so he had to take him and Chen Wan to eat the best food stalls in Jinling together.
Li Mu wanted to refuse, he drove back at this point, and it shouldn't be too late to get to Haizhou, but Zhang Kexuan refused to let him, saying that it was not safe to drive at night, and he was not at ease.
Chen Wan also advised Li Mu not to worry, it was a big deal to go back tomorrow morning.
Zhang Kexuan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, tonight at ten o'clock live broadcast of the results of the Olympic bid, if the Olympic bid is successful, there will be a night of celebration in Jinling, I will take you to eat food stalls, drink cold beer, and watch the live broadcast of the Olympic bid!"
Li Mu suddenly realized that on July 13th, at ten o'clock tonight, Samaranch would announce in Moscow that Yanjing had won the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympics...... Indulge it.
Li Mu called his parents to confess, drove Chen Wan's A6, followed an imported Land Cruiser driven by Zhang Kexuan, and came to a food stall located in the most prosperous area of the city center.
In these years, you can still see food stalls in the most prosperous places, and it will not be so blessed in a few years.
The food stall that Zhang Kexuan took everyone to was quite classy, and the most eye-catching thing was the rear projection TV placed in the middle, in this era, large rear projection TV is still a very rare object.
Zhang Kexuan greeted the boss, and the boss took them to the best reserved location, which was very close to the TV and directly in front of the TV.
"We come here a lot to watch. After sitting down, Zhang Kexuan asked Li Mudao: "Xiao Mu, do you like football?"
"I like to watch, but I don't know how to kick. ”
Zhang Kexuan said with a smile: "We don't play football much, we really lack sports cells, but we just like to watch." ”
After speaking, Zhang Kexuan said: "But this year's national football team is a bit awesome, the World Cup Asian qualifiers group stage, won all six games." ”
Ye Tianming said with a smile: "You don't look at what players are in the group stage, Maldives, Cambodia, Indonesia...... I think that when it comes to the top 10 matches in Asia, eighty percent of the national football team will still be finished. ”
Xia said: "Hey, how do I vaguely feel that the national football team has a drama to impact the World Cup this year!"
Li Mu calculated the time, the national football team has now ended the group stage, but the top ten matches in Asia will not start until the end of August, and he is very impressed, because at that time he has already reported to the school and prepared for military training.
As for determining the qualification for the World Cup, it will have to wait until the beginning of October, at Wulihe Stadium, where the national football team defeated Oman 1:0.
In the group stage of the World Cup, the national football team was killed three times in a row, losing all three games, drinking nine bullets, not scoring a goal, and returning home with a miserable defeat.
Zhang Kexuan greeted the boss, ordered a lot of food and drink, focused on a lot of barbecue and spicy crayfish, and finally asked the boss to take out imported Corona beer.
Li Mu was also very happy, he put it in the schoolbag in the trunk of Chen Wan's Audi car, containing a full 80,000 yuan, this money is the first money he earned since he was reborn, but it is not the first pot of gold, Li Mu decided not to tell his family first, buy a laptop in Jinling tomorrow, and then he can really start his Internet layout.
In the summer evening, with food stalls and cold beer, and Chen Wan such a big beauty by her side, Li Mu felt that life was indeed quite happy, because he completely carried the banner of the word awesome in front of Zhang Kexuan and the four of them, so the four of them also respected themselves very much, and took turns toasting and constantly thanking them.
In the clinking of glasses, Li Mu knew that the name of the four-member band was Jinling Noise Control, Li Mu did not make any comments on this somewhat strange name, anyway, he didn't understand the names of many rock bands, such as what frost night before, sunrise last night and so on.
After chatting a lot, Li Mu found that these four rich second generations do have an unparalleled passion for music and rock, and he has always been a music lover, so when he chatted, he felt more and more speculative.
Unconsciously, the time was half past nine in the evening, Li Mu was a little dazed, but he could see that quite a lot of pedestrians had gathered on the street, they were wearing the national flag, holding the national flag high, and even painting the national flag on their faces, a large group of people gathered in the downtown area, and the police were waiting on the side, but they did not want to come up and interfere.
Li Mu blew a bottle of Corona, looked at the crowd around him, and looked at the live broadcast of the central station on the big screens hanging outside the commercial building, and was excited.
In 2001, the Chinese people were happy, and there were two national celebrations, one was the successful bid for the Olympic Games tonight, and the other was the qualification for the National Football World Cup on the night of October 7.
There are more and more people, more and more, and you can even see some young men paying for their own money, buying a bunch of pure water and drinks, and distributing them to everyone on the street.
"The Olympic bid will definitely succeed!" I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice, and the crowd immediately burst out with huge energy: "The Olympic bid will definitely succeed!"
Li Mu smiled heartily, he would definitely succeed, and in about half an hour, it would really be a celebration for the whole country.
Zhang Kexuan was deeply affected and said: "I paid for all the Corona of the boss, and I will send it for free on the street when I successfully bid for the Olympics!"
The other three rich second generations immediately said that they wanted to participate together.
Li Mu said: "You should learn from others to buy canned beer now, there are so many people, it is not good if the beer bottle causes accidental injury." ”
Zhang Kexuan suddenly realized: "It's still Xiao Mu's thoughtfulness. After speaking, Zhang Kexuan waved his hand: "Boss Zhou!"
The boss in his thirties hurried over, Zhang Kexuan was his old customer, and the business brought to him made him a lot of money, and Zhang Kexuan was refreshing, and he didn't have the frame of the rich second generation looking down on people, so the boss had a very good relationship with him.
Zhang Kexuan took out the key of his Land Cruiser from his waist, handed it to the boss and said: "Lao Zhou, you help, our brothers are drunk, you drive my car out, help me buy canned beer, buy as much as you can, and when the Olympic bid is successful, I will invite the big guys on the street to drink!"
Lao Zhou was stunned, and then slapped his thigh: "Count me in!"
At this time, there is really a sense of national pride stirring in everyone's heart, Li Mu said: "Count me in, the six of us, buy as much wine as you want, let's share it evenly." ”
"Then I have to be my share!" Chen Wan didn't want to be left behind.
Fortunately, there are police officers to maintain the order of the crowd, and the road also leaves space for cars, Boss Zhou handed over the business to his wife to take care of, and drove Zhang Kexuan's car away with a guy.
In the era when drunk driving was not checked, as a rich second generation but had the consciousness that he couldn't drive after drinking, Li Mu's impression of Zhang Kexuan climbed up a lot.
Because the results were about to be announced at ten o'clock, Lao Zhou didn't dare to delay, drove around, bought about a dozen cases of canned beer, and came back, and the time was almost ten o'clock.
Zhang Kexuan held a cigarette and beckoned everyone to move more than ten boxes of beer out of the car, piled up on the side of the road layer by layer, a box of beer 24 cans, more than 10,000 people in the downtown area, but it can be regarded as a heart.
At ten o'clock, Samaranch finally came out with a long cry.
This year, there are four candidate cities, Istanbul, Paris, Toronto and Osaka, so at the moment when Samaranch did not say the name of the city, no Chinese person dared to be 100% sure that Yanjing could succeed, oh no, except for Li Mu.
At 22:08, Samaranch on TV said two words from his mouth: "Yan-Jing." ”
Suddenly, the whole country was boiling......
