Mu Dong hurried to the company and saw the old man Fan Zeng waiting in the office.

"Old Fan, it's almost the New Year, why are you still here, don't make a call, I'll send a plane to pick you up. Mu Dong said enthusiastically.

Fan Zeng smiled and said, "Xiao Mu, I came to Quancheng to participate in a cultural event, and I came to see you by the way." At the same time, bring the inscription I promised you. ”

As he spoke, Fan Zeng opened a long bag beside him, took out a pair of scrolls, got up and stood on the small conference table, and slowly opened it.

The four powerful big characters "Dadong Group" came into view, and I saw that these four words were like a dragon and penetrated the back of the paper. Even though Mu Dong didn't know much about calligraphy, he still felt that these four words were very imposing, and he couldn't help but say: "Good words! Fan Lao bothered!"

Fan Zeng laughed and said, "When I look at you, I'm just fooling." Some people say that my style of writing is contrived, and the gesture is craggy, so my daily font is not suitable for use as a signboard, I deliberately chose the face body this time, the font is square, and the momentum is solemn, so as to match the name of your company, boy, in fact, you don't know the word at all, right?"

Mu Dong was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and said helplessly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

"Haha, there is a specialization in the art industry, and you don't need to hide it. Xiao Mu, in addition to this character, I also brought you a character and a painting, I hope you can like it. ”

After speaking, Fan Zeng took out two more scrolls from the long bag and slowly opened them.

A word, on the book "Dapeng spreads its wings, eastward travel thousands of miles" eight words, this time it is estimated that Fan Zeng's own font, only to see the font 嶚嶚, arrogant, looks very unique.

A painting, painting is the red sun of Mount Tai, only to see the vast expanse, the mountains are wonderful, the red sun and white fog reflect each other, a new atmosphere.

Mu Dong was shocked and was speechless.

Rao is that he does not know calligraphy and painting, and he also knows that these artworks are priced in square feet. The painting in front of me is a long strip, about 8 square feet. And this painting is huge, I'm afraid it will be about 15 square feet.

Mu Dong had learned about the price of Fan Zeng's calligraphy and painting before, and he roughly calculated that the market price of the word and painting in front of him should be more than 5 million yuan, or even higher.

Mu Dong stabilized his mind and said sincerely: "Fan Lao, this word and painting, it is really too valuable, I don't know what to say, I like calligraphy and painting very much, I am reluctant to refuse, you see if this will work, I will pay according to the market price, please accept it." ”

Yes, Mu Dong really likes it very much, this character hides the word Dadong, and the meaning is far-reaching. This painting, which depicts Mount Tai in Dongyue and the sunrise in the east, is very close to his name and Dadong Group, and is definitely a masterpiece of Fan Lao's careful consideration.

Fan Zeng smiled proudly and said loudly: "This long strip, six feet apart, this painting, six feet in full, if you get it on the market, it can also be worth some money." However, Xiao Mu, the literati are characterful, you respect me a foot, I respect you a zhang, this is also a kind of reward for your generosity of wine, if you talk about money, it is indecent. To tell the truth, I only give myself a passing score for this word and a painting, which is not a high-quality product, and if you barely leave a paste wall, the old man will be satisfied. ”

Speaking of which, if Mu Dong talks about money again, it will be too disappointing.

He had no choice but to say seriously: "Old Fan, your heart, the kid is ashamed." Let's have lunch first and talk while eating. ”

Fan Zeng agreed, carefully rolled up the calligraphy and paintings, handed them to Mu Dong, and said with a smile: "The calligraphy and paintings are all framed, you can use them directly." Xiao Mu, the preservation of calligraphy and painting requires some knowledge, don't be negligent. ”

Mu Dong understood Fan Zeng's mood, which was basically similar to handing over his own child. He took it and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Old Fan, I will take care of it." ”

……

At the luncheon, Fan Zeng was a little drunk, first, he gave out calligraphy and paintings, and he was stunned, and second, Mu Dong sent someone to get half a catty of dried melon wine at home, and most of it went into Fan Zeng's stomach.

After lunch, Mu Dong personally sent Fan Zeng to the hotel to rest, and allocated him a Mercedes-Benz S600 for him to use during the meeting in Quancheng. After that, Mu Dong hurriedly returned to the company, carefully put on gloves, took out calligraphy and paintings, and admired them for a long time.

Whether these calligraphy and paintings are hung up, Mu Dong took a lot of brains. The final decision is that if you encounter an important reception, you may wish to hang it up and put it on the façade, and it is better to store it carefully.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mu Dongyou received a good news that the Provincial People's Congress sent a notice asking him to go to the Standing Committee tomorrow to fill in some information. This marks the beginning of the work of identifying the qualifications of Mudong as a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress.

That evening, Mu Dong met with Governor Jiang Xiaoliang and gave him a thin gift. It is indeed very thin, only a pound of melon dry wine.

Jiang Xiaoliang was very happy, at his level, he didn't value gifts or anything. What he values is Mu Dong and the Dadong Group he controls, which is a real economic achievement and a shining political achievement.

He asked with great interest about the New Year's plans of Dadong Group, especially the construction of Dadong International School, and Mu Dong invited him to participate in the school's groundbreaking ceremony after the Spring Festival.

Jiang Xiaoliang pondered for a moment and replied: "I am definitely going to go, I suggest that you report to Secretary Tongkang recently, he asked about the school, you can try, can you invite him to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony." ”

Mu Dong was stunned, this was the second time he had heard that Shang Tongkang, secretary of the provincial party committee, was concerned about him, and it seemed that he should indeed have expressed something.

For a long time, among the provincial leaders, Mu Dong has only maintained contact with Jiang Xiaoliang, and has always taken a respectful and distant attitude towards Shang Tongkang, member of the Central Committee and secretary of the provincial party committee.

Recently, Secretary Shang has continuously released goodwill, either the size of the Dadong Group has attracted his attention, or the Liu family has done some work in the back.

But in any case, I must no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb like before.

As soon as he went to work the next day, Mu Dong sent an application to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to visit Secretary Shang, and received a reply an hour later: At two o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Shang received him.

After thinking about it, Mu Dong still went home at noon and brought a pound of dried melon wine, no way, this wine at home is quite famous in a small circle, and it is really suitable as a souvenir.

At 1:40 p.m., Mu Dong rushed to the compound of the provincial party committee, and after some registration, Secretary Shang's secretary took him to the office.

To Mu Dong's surprise, Secretary Shang greeted him at the door, enthusiastically stretched out his right hand, and said loudly: "Boss Mu is here, welcome, welcome!"

Mu Dong was very shocked in his heart, there are two possibilities for Secretary Shang's style, one is that this is the gentle elder's support for the juniors, and the second is that this is a beating on Mu Dong.

In the memory of time and space, Mu Dong, as a small boss who struggled to make a living, did not understand the temperament of the provincial leaders at all, but only heard a little about some of their relatively large deeds during his tenure, and these deeds basically came from the local media. Similarly, his understanding of Mayor Yang Yulu also comes from intensive media coverage.

At this moment, in the face of Shang Tongkang's courtesy, Mu Dong has only one coping strategy, that is, to clamp his tail and be a man.

He bowed slightly, stretched out two hands to hold Shang Tongkang's right hand, and said politely: "Secretary Shang, you can just call me Xiao Mu, I took the liberty to ask to see you and bother you." ”

Shang Tongkang was about sixty years old, tall, ruddy face, and loud voice, he smiled heartily, patted the back of Mu Dong's hand, and said: "I have always thought that entrepreneurs who run well and pay taxes actively should be given enough respect. Mu Dong, the scale of your current enterprise is tens of billions, to put it mildly, this is the scale of a medium-level top 100 county, so the economic value and social value you create are very worthy of respect. ”

Mu Dong became even more frightened. This sounds true or false, but I really don't know whether to believe it or not, and it is better to keep a little guard.

He said politely: "Secretary Shang, I have caught up with the good times, and the leaders at all levels have spared no effort to support the current situation." ”

The two let go of their hands and sat down on the sofa in the reception area, Shang Tongkang's reaction to Mu Dong was a little funny, he saw Mu Dong's vigilance and vigilance, and felt that it was better to open some lids, and this little guy in the province was frightened.

He laughed and said, "Mu Dong, I heard Fan Lao say that you got a lot of good things from him?"

Mu Dongmao suddenly opened, and immediately had a sense of open-mindedness. It turned out that Secretary Shang's kindness came from Fan Lao's matchmaking. No, why haven't you ever heard Fan Lao talk about it?

He hurriedly said: "Yes, Secretary Shang, Fan Lao is kind, this time he brought me two words and a painting." ”

Shang Tongkang said with a smile: "I heard Fan Lao say that he is my alumnus and brother, and this time he was also invited by me to participate in a cultural exchange activity. Mu Dong, you are so blessed, I have been friends with Fan Lao for many years, and only on my birthday last year, he wrote me a picture. ”

Mu Dong hurriedly said: "Fan Lao is wrong to love, and he is sincerely afraid. ”

Shang Tongkang said: "There is no wrong love, there is no love for no reason." Fan Lao also said about this situation, he said that one is to thank you for the gift of wine, and the other is to be moved by your charitable foundation, your current private equity scale is second to none in China, Fan Lao said that this kindness is worthy of respect. ”

I see! Mu Dong solved another mystery in his heart.

He organized the language and said sincerely: "Secretary Shang, a lot of my funds come from overseas investment income. It is just my heart to take out a part of it to benefit the disadvantaged. ”

Shang Tongkang nodded and said, "Although your heart is not big or small, your heart is very grand, and it will indeed benefit many people." For the government, your charitable fund is also an effective supplement to the civil affairs system, which is of great positive significance. Mu Dong, you have good financial strength now, can you discuss something?"

Mu Dong suddenly felt so helpless!
