After Tao Tao left, Lin Yuan thought about it, and then called Fang Shijin again, this was a matter of the copper factory, and he had to discuss it with Fang Shijin. After listening to it, Fang Shijin agreed with Lin Yuan'www.biquge.info s opinion.

After deciding on the matter, Lin Yuan began to think about what gift to bring to the chairman again. The last time he brought the "Pine Crane Longevity" brocade, the effect was very good, and this time he still considered bringing a piece of art. Zhou Shixiang told him that the chairman likes to collect art, and the chairman has nothing else, and only art may arouse his interest.

What kind of artwork can I bring?

Lin Yuan didn't study this thing, but he knew one - it was best that it wasn't sold in the market. If you can buy it casually from the market, even if the price is high, it is not interesting. The chairman has money, and he doesn't think that a gift is precious if the price is high.

However, after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any suitable artwork.

He called Fang Shijin again to ask for his opinion. Fang Shijin laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm a rather tacky person, and I'm used to thinking about gifts from a secular point of view, so don't ask for my opinion." I think Secretary Lin, you are more similar to the chairman's personality type, they both belong to the kind of people who are polite and cultured, your hobbies should be similar, what you like, the chairman should also like. You just bother to think about it yourself, as long as you choose well, I will buy it, it doesn't matter if the price is high, the copper factory can afford it. ”

Fang Shijin couldn't come up with an effective suggestion, but Lin Yuan couldn't come up with an idea for a while. After a few laps around the office, he moved on to the third floor to the summer office. Maybe there's a good idea for summer?

Hearing what Lin Yuan meant, Xia "Gege" smiled and said: "Even a smart person like you can't think of anything, what can I, a stupid woman, come up with?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that what he said was too unladylike, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and his face turned a little red.

Xiaowei often said that she was a stupid woman in front of him, but Lin Yuan didn't expect Xia to say the same thing, and his heart couldn't help but flutter. He condensed his mind and said with a smile: "Thousands of clothes, sycophants don't wear, although I know it's fake, but my heart is still very comfortable, otherwise I like you here, what you said makes me feel very confident." It's just that if this continues, my self-confidence will be inflated blindly. ”

Summer smiled softly, "I really admire you, not pat your ass, really." ”

What Xia said was sincere, Lin Yuan could feel it, but being praised by the beauty in front of him, Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He snorted in disguise and said, "In order to maintain a good impression in your eyes, I can only hold on to the foot of the bed by the toad." It's just that I can't think about it well at the moment, and I really can't put it on. ”

Summer's eyes suddenly lit up, "I remembered something." As he spoke, he rummaged through a pile of newspapers on the table, and soon found a copy of "Chaiyuan City Daily", "I saw a report from the newspaper yesterday, how about you take a look?" ”

According to the requirements of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, this newspaper will be banned at the end of this year, and it is now mid-November, that is, it still has more than a month to be published. The reporters of the newspaper will be diverted at the end of the year, and they are all busy making connections and finding a way, and few of them are fulfilling the requirements of the municipal party committee to "stand on the last shift." The quality of the newspaper was not very good, and now it is even more "rotten", so Lin Yuan has not looked at this newspaper as carefully as before. At this time, seeing that Xia suddenly turned out a copy of "Chaiyuan City Daily" to him, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, he came to her to discuss bringing gifts to the boss of Shannan Company, but she inexplicably asked him to read what report, what does it mean?

Summer handed him the newspaper, pointed to one of the reports, and said, "This is it, how about you take a look?" ”

Lin Yuan took a quick look.

The article reports on a folk artist in Chai Yuan painting on a gourd with a soldering iron, and is accompanied by a photograph of a large gourd with both people and scenery. The black and white photo is not very clear, but you can feel that the painting is good. This craft is called "hot painting", also called "hot painting", the name is very appropriate, it is indeed "hot" out, "branded" out. Lin Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "the master is in the folk", what he said is too right, there are really capable people in the folk!

What does it mean to just show him this report in the summer? Just interested in this art?

Suddenly he understood, did Summer ask him to bring a "gourd" of this kind as a gift? It's a really good idea, both original and artistic. The most important thing is that this kind of art cannot be industrially mass-produced, it is difficult to see it on the market, and it is rare and expensive, especially for artworks.

"Do you mean to let me take a gourd?" Lin Yuan looked at the summer with a smile.

Xia Yanran smiled, "Secretary Lin is so smart, that's what I mean." ”

"It's a good idea, but, how do you find this folk artist? Also, do other people's works go out to sell? ”

"The reporter in the newspaper who writes reports for this artist must know how to contact him, why don't you ask a friend from the Propaganda Department to find that reporter?" Summer is a quick thinker and quickly thinks of solutions.

Right! Xia said correctly, the name of the reporter was signed under the title of the article, and it was not difficult for a friend from the Propaganda Department to contact him.

Lin Yuan suddenly looked at Summer with strange eyes.

Summer was a little embarrassed, "Why are you looking at me like this?" I'm thin-skinned and blushing. ”

Lin Yuan teased her: "You are so smart, how can you call yourself a stupid woman?" In the future, I don't dare to claim to be smart in front of you. ”

Summer smiled: "I'm different from you, I'm an occasional flash of inspiration, you're always smart, how can I compare with you?" ”

Lin Yuan also smiled: "Yes, we are different, you are always modest, and I am always proud, I must learn from you in the future." ”

After laughing with Summer for a while, seeing that the time was not early, Lin Yuan left Summer's office.

Why does time pass so quickly every time I am with summer? Walking in the corridor, Lin Yuan thought strangely.

In fact, the reason is very simple, he has a very thorough understanding of the principle of relativity as an engineering student. Besides, he doesn't have time to think about these things now, he has to hurry up and implement the matter of preparing a gift for the chairman.

The Propaganda Department and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee work on the same floor, so Lin Yuan knows a lot of people in the Propaganda Department. After all, when he was in the Organization Department, he was only a section member, and although he knew the leaders of the Propaganda Department, he had no contact. However, it is better to do this with the leaders of the ministry, because it is necessary to coordinate with the newspaper to let the newspaper's reporters help, and ordinary staff members may not be able to do it. It's not that the average clerk doesn't have enough personal ability, but that he needs more power and a circle to do this kind of thing. What level of people have what level of circle, he has been in the government for so many years, and he understands the truth very well.

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly thought of Ji Xiaoyan.

The Municipal Civilization Office is a first-level administrative unit, co-located with the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Ji Xiaoyan is the deputy director of the Civilization Office, although she is not a member of the ministry's leadership team, but she is also a leader in the Propaganda Department. Moreover, Ji Xiaoyan has a lively personality, is sociable, has a wide social circle, and is a classmate of the party school with him, so it is very suitable to ask her to help with this.

Lin Yuan did not hesitate, and immediately dialed Ji Xiaoyan's phone.

Ji Xiaoyan was really powerful, and soon contacted the folk artist through the reporter of the newspaper. Lin Yuan came forward, and Fang Shijin made the east, and hosted a banquet for Ji Xiaoyan, the reporter and the folk artist in a good restaurant in the city. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lin Yuan made his own request to the folk artist to buy one of his works.

The folk artist showed a look of embarrassment, he was obsessed with hot stamping works just because he liked it, not to sell it for money. Lin Yuan agitated like a spring, praised and fooled, Ji Xiaoyan and the newspaper reporter were also beside him to help, and finally persuaded the folk artists to sell them a piece of work.

Lin Yuan was anxious, and after eating, he and Fang Shijin followed the folk artist to his home. Folk artists have a special studio filled with all kinds of painted gourds. Lin Hai was a little dizzy when he saw it, it was so beautiful, this was simply a "palace" of art, and he couldn't help but be a hit again. In fact, it can't be called "praise", because Lin Yuan is sincerely admired and praised, not flattered to achieve his own goals. Even if people didn't promise to sell him their works, he would also praise them.

Lin Yuan quickly picked a big gourd with a height of nearly half a meter, which was part of the main scene of the "Qingming Riverside Map", in addition to the bridge and shop, there were dozens of figures, and the "painting" was very fine, highlighting the master's high artistic level.

Seeing that Lin Yuan chose this work, the owner was a little reluctant. He had been "painting" this work for months, it was the most artistically valuable of all his works, and he didn't want to sell it.

Lin Yuan continued to work with him with the spirit of not giving up until the goal was achieved, and when the spit star splashed the floor of the house half-wet, the master finally agreed to sell the work to them.

As for the price, Lin Yuan asked Fang Shijin to talk to him. Anyway, the copper factory pays for it, and he doesn't care if he spends more or less, just get the gourd in his hands.

Two days later, Lin Yuan and Fang Shijin brought the gourd and came to Shannan Company again.

The reason why they went this time was to listen to Shannan Company's views on the copper factory, Chaiyuan City, and Chaishan Town after visiting Chaishan, and to implore Shannan Company to make suggestions on their work to promote their work to be carried out better.

The chairman was very interested in the big gourd of branded flowers brought by Lin Yuan, and he looked at it very seriously, and kept praising it while looking at it. Of course, Lin Yuan didn't say that they bought it, but lied that one of his friends was good at this craft, and his friend gave him this big gourd when he was a guest not long ago. He didn't know much about this art, and he didn't appreciate it much, so he brought it to the chairman.

The chairman was very moved, he naturally wouldn't believe Lin Yuan's "lies". He is a knowledgeable person, and this brand painting gourd is the work of a master at a glance, and even if he is a master, he can't make it in a short time. Therefore, this gourd has a high artistic value, what kind of friend is he? Will give this thing to him for nothing? To hear it is to lie.

But the chairman can't say it. Lin Yuan said this to show that he was not specifically giving him a gift. As a business owner, he is much more good at gift-giving than Lin Yuan. Although he was a gentle man and a scholar, he was a businessman after all, and in today's society, as long as he is in business, there are things that must be done, and he cannot be independent of society.

He really liked this gift that Lin Yuan brought him. He had not only heard of painting on gourds, but also seen them, but he was not a master, and could only simply write Braille and draw some simple landscapes. The creator of this gourd actually dared to choose to make a "Qingming Riverside Picture" on it, which in itself is a manifestation of "the courage of the artist". From the perspective of painting style, the lines of the picture are delicate, the gray shade is uniform, and the layers are clear, which is definitely the work of the master. This is not made with a pen, but is soldered with an electric soldering iron, the thickness of the lines, the depth of the layers, all have to be done by skillfully operating the electric soldering iron in the hand, which is definitely not what ordinary masters can do. He has collected a lot of artworks, but he does not have any of them, because this thing is easily unavailable on the market, and this kind of works with high artistic value are even more difficult to find. Now that Lin Yuan has brought him such a gift, he is really moved.

Therefore, he also said very sincerely about the prospects for cooperation between the two sides, and Lin Yuan finally saw real hope.

"Deputy General Manager Xiao and Mr. Zhou of the Marketing Department reported to me in detail about your situation after returning from you, and I am basically satisfied, and what makes me even more satisfied is your sincerity. I have made a preliminary decision, that is, to cooperate with you, but I can't make a decision alone, there is a board of directors in the company, and this kind of major issue must be decided collectively after careful study by the board of directors. You can rest assured, we will convene a board meeting soon to study, and it will not take too long, and the results will be available in half a month at most. The last time you came, I said that no matter whether we can cooperate successfully or not, we will be very good friends in the future, and even if we don't cooperate now, we can cooperate in the future. Of course, we still hope to cooperate this time, and we are trying to work together this time. Although the chairman's words were still very flexible, Lin Yuan felt the sincerity of the chairman. With this, the probability of success is very high.

When he came to Shannan, Lin Yuan was still very apprehensive. When he returned, his heart was much more steady.
