In November, at the same time that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took up their new jobs, their "side business" also underwent new changes.

On the one hand, Hong Yanwu's people completely withdrew, and the "China Cinema" and "Tianqiao Theater" were completely handed over to "Dadehe".

On the other hand, Hong Yanwu himself also rented out the home appliance warehouse behind the theater after the inventory was cleared.

As for the 20 or so people who were evacuated, Hong Yanwu did not relocate to other theaters.

In view of the increasing popularity of the "luxury wholesale" business, those "pipelines" were basically assigned by him to soak in various hotels, and were specifically responsible for "making friends" with buyers from all over the world.

As for the remaining four or five who were originally in charge of "managing the eyes", he handed them over to "Xiao Baizi" and "Dayong", the person in charge of the "China Cinema" who was later promoted, to form a new team and be responsible for two things.

The first is to let them go to the door of the friendship store and directly collect "foreign exchange coupons" at the lowest possible price from the hands of more and more "scalpers" who are popping up.

The "eye managers" are all dead people who are good at playing with the root of their arms, and with the deterrence of force, they can prevent those "scalpers" from thinking crookedly.

The second is to let them use these "foreign exchange coupons" to buy goods at the "friendship store" and transfer goods to the new warehouse.

What to buy?

Hong Yanwu asked for Moutai liquor and Wuliangye, two famous liquors, and high-end cigarettes such as "Zhonghua", "Peony" and "Friendship". Because these things are shipped quickly, sometimes it's too late to catch them. Then if you can buy it, you have to buy some.

Especially wine, even if it can't be sold, it will retain its value if it is left alone. It's not good, Hong Yanwu doesn't want to make a move without three or five times the profit. He knows how much Moutai will be worth if it is saved for decades.

And the so-called "new warehouse" is actually the original three-bedroom of Song Guofu's family.

Hong Yanwu agreed to give the two theaters a big deal at that time, and he thought about it, so he simply used Song Guofu's house as a warehouse when he got it. Yes, it's safe and secure.

What is especially suitable in this matter is that since the sister of "Xiao Baizi" got married, the "Xiao Baizi" family is not very convenient, and there are difficulties in housing.

Now it's good, one house is for "Xiao Baizi" to live in, and two rooms are used for inventory. It's not just about solving the substantive problem. This kid can also help Hong Yanwu as the treasury manager. It's a matter of going twice once.

Speaking of houses, there is one more thing to mention. That is, after more than half a year, the main road of the Hong family's old house has been repaired.

Now, except for the small western-style building where Hong Shoucheng lived back then, and the wall, front door, and back door of the house that Hong Yanwu deliberately did not repair, the entire courtyard has basically returned to its original appearance. And there is water, electricity, and heating.

From now on, as long as you pay attention to the roof tiles before summer every year, you can live with confidence. Ten or twenty years will not be a big problem.

But this work has been done to this extent, and it is really tiring for these old craftsmen. Even Unit Sheng and Wang Hanping couldn't stand it.

The two of them made a statement to Hong Yanwu, saying that they really couldn't do the stone building below. What's more, they looked at it, and some of the materials were quite difficult to find right now. Neither stone nor wood floors. If you want to cultivate, you have to allow everyone to rest and think of a way.

In this regard, Hong Yanwu was reluctant to go. Knowing that they worked hard, not only did they agree, but they also gave some more money at the checkout.

Especially for Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping, he also prepared a more attentive gift for each of them.

What was given to Wang Hanping was a pair of hardwood carved chairs. It was accidentally discovered by Hong Yanwu in the Hong family's old home.

In fact, the value of this gift is secondary, and the key is that it has some special significance for Wang Hanping.

Sure enough, the old carpenter's eyes were stunned at first when he saw this chair, and then his eyes widened. Then I turned the chair over with my own hands.

Looking at the bottom of the chair like this, it clearly has the font size mark of "Long Shuncheng", as well as the three small characters of "Wang Hanping".

Needless to say, it is a great surprise for an old craftsman to be able to see it again after a few years and to be able to own his own work.

Naturally, Wang Hanping was so excited that tears came out. After hearing about the origin of this thing, he thanked him more than once, and said to Hong Yanwu, "I have a heart."

And what about the gift to Mr. Shan? Hong Yanwu prepared a six-sided flat chapter and a large material Tian Huang.

The so-called literati are so elegant, and the farewell is too vulgar.

But this thing is too valuable. As soon as I took it, Mr. Shan's love is true love, and he played with it for a long time, but he really didn't dare to ask for it.

Because Mr. Shan can't be described as an "expert", but a "Tongjia", he knows what color and value this Tianhuang is.

I think when Hong Yanwu first bought it, one gram of Tianhuang was ten yuan, which was already more expensive than one gram of gold. Later, he kept buying, and the number of high-quality Tianhuang was naturally less.

In addition, in June this year, didn't the Beijing "Commercial Bureau" and the "Second Light Bureau" jointly hold an export exhibition in Hong Kong?

The exhibition was a huge success, attracting 160,000 visitors. Because of the low price, special handicrafts are almost swept away from the outside market.

Jade, stone, bone carving, enamel, ware, interior painting, and Chinese painting are the most sought-after transactions.

Then it was exactly the same as Hong Yanwu expected. Go out this time, and people in the country will know the market outside. And people outside also know that domestic prices are low.

In this way, after this exhibition, the number of buyers from Hong Kong to the mainland began to increase significantly, and the price of special handicrafts in China was also adjusted.

In the past, "plan first, price second" is not much advocated, mainly pursuing "internal and external differences, separate prices".

Therefore, now Tian Huang's internal price has more than doubled, and it has to be doubled externally. That is to say, Hong Yanwu's delivery of Mr. Order's things is at least 1,002 according to the internal price.

How scary this is for Mr. Shan. He didn't know that Hong Yanwu had more high-grade Tian Huang in his hands than in the store.

But then again, Hong Yanwu's gift is also sincere.

On the one hand, he knew that Mr. Shan himself was a seal carver, and this seal stone would definitely be well preserved and used to the fullest.

On the other hand, he was also afraid that the small stone western-style building would be gone. What's more, there is also an uncle's old house, now I don't want to repair it, and I can't find a layman if I really want to repair it. I'll have to point to someone else from now on.

So he refused to take it back.

In the end, Mr. Shan pushed back and forth several times, and Mr. Shan seemed to see Hong Yanwu's thoughts. called out the youngest girl, Shan Xiangyun. Introduced to Hong Yanwu.

"My daughter is in the Forbidden City construction team. To tell you the truth, your small western-style building will be repaired in the future, and I'm afraid I can only let her do it for you and help you raise it. I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy, to tell you the truth, one is that I am old, and this time the four hospitals are finished, and I feel that I have to do it myself, and my physical strength is a little out of reach. In addition, I have a more important thing to do, that is, I want to take advantage of the fact that the old craftsmen are still there, and try to summarize their skills and write them into words, so that they can be left to future generations. It's not something that can be done in a year or two, and I hope you understand. ”

That actually means that if you make it clear to your face, don't give me a generous gift, lest I won't be able to help you in the future and everyone will be unhappy.

But Mr. Shan just didn't expect it. Hong Yanwu was very pleased when he heard this, not only saying that this matter should be done, but also expressing his willingness to contribute money to support it.

This made Mr. Shan really puzzled. He asked Hong Yanwu.

"What the hell do you think? I wanted to do this in the past, and I even crossed the level to report, but then it was deliberately yellowed by the above. Now I see that the big guys are getting old, and I feel that if I don't do it, no one will do it. I brought it up again, and reluctantly tried to do it myself. But why are you so supportive? You're not in the construction business, and I really can't care about your family's business if I do this......"

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Mr. Shan. To tell the truth, it was only through you that we repaired the house that I really felt the beauty of the ancient building and the seconds of the ancient building. I also think that this knowledge is too precious, and it would be a pity that no one would summarize and lose it, and misuse the things of the ancestors. On the other hand, it's also for myself. Today, we still have you to help repair our house, but who will we find in the future? Who will we find in the next generation? Since I have the financial ability, I can do something to help you keep it as much as possible, why not?"

"If we can really leave these skills behind, even if the people are gone, the houses are gone, and future generations can build better ones. But these things are going to be lost. Even if the people are there, the house is there, it's useless, sooner or later it will disappear one day, and there will never be any more. Do you say?"

"And I can definitely imagine how ugly it would be if people who don't know how to pretend to understand are building up randomly, and the capital is full of red and green, carving dragons and painting phoenixes. This kind of capital is only cheesy, not beautiful, it is visual pollution, it is ignorance and recklessness, and I can't stand it......"

Hey, don't really say it, these words really go to Mr. Shan's heart. The old gentleman was happy at that time.

"Young man, you understand this well, that's what it is. Visual pollution? Well, that's a good word. Just say these words to you, I haven't been busy for you for more than a year. But you don't have to be so polite. You, it's better to take such a valuable thing back. In fact, you can support me in doing this, I am even happier than sending me Tian Huang. If you can buy me some film. ”

So where is Hong Yanwu doing? The more Mr. Shan is like this, he has to give it away. He respects such people. In the end, Bai Lai said to let Mr. Shan play for two days first. I just left it.

The next day, it was even more amazing. He said that he would support it, except that he sent a thousand yuan and said that he wanted to buy film. A box of blank tapes and a VCR were also delivered.

This thoughtfulness touched Mr. Shan even more.

It's true that he didn't have that much confidence in the first place.

With such recognition, I can't help but feel emotional. The old gentleman has to do this well.

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
