CHAPTER 111: THE NANSHA ARCHIPELAGO
Seeing Lu Yidan coming with Lin Wencong, Ling Shizhe knew that he agreed to join Ambrera.
Lu Yidan, who came here, shook his hand in front of him and said, "Mr. Lu, how are you thinking about it?" ”
"Mr. Ling, General Bu Ling, I am willing to join Ambrera Company." He now doesn't care if the other party is the National/National/Party, he wants to eat, their family has to eat, the coolies can't even support themselves, let alone support the family, it's been more than a year since he came to Hong Kong, the family can't open the pot anymore, and he can't find a job anymore, the family can only starve to death, and the ideology can only be a P in the face of survival, as long as he can eat enough, who cares if his boss is the National/National/Party.
Seeing Lu Yidan's respectful appearance in front of him, Ling Shizhe shook his head, took out the checkbook from the inner bag of his jacket, wrote it down with a pen, tore off the check and handed it to him, and said, "Your paintings are good, I bought them all, this is the money to buy the paintings." ”
Lu Yidan took the check with both hands, and saw that the number column said $10,000, his head was dizzy, he knew what $ meant, it was US dollars, it was a full 10,000 US dollars, which was equivalent to 70,000 or 80,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Mr. Ling, this, this is too much, my paintings are not worth the money." Lu Yidan said excitedly, and the hand holding the check was also trembling.
Ling Shizhe blocked his hand back and said, "Take this, I still took a big advantage to buy these paintings of yours for 10,000 US dollars, you are not an ordinary painter, your works have completely reached the level of masters." I think people like you won't be unknown in the mainland, right? Coming to work in my Ambrera company is a grievance to you. ”
"It's already my honor if I'm not aggrieved, I'm not aggrieved, the boss is willing to reward me for eating." Lu Yidan nodded and said.
Looking at this master of Chinese painting nodding in front of him, Ling Shizhe sighed, is it a hero for a penny, if a person like Lu Yidan is in Europe and the United States or Taiwan/Bay, you can't invite it even if you spend a lot of money, and you may not be able to get any of their works even if you spend millions, but now? Ling Shizhe only had to pay the price of an ordinary employee's salary, so he recruited a master of Chinese painting to work for him, and bought all his paintings for only 10,000 US dollars.
In the exhibition hall, Ling Shizhe saw that many of the paintings were fine, in his memory of his previous life, many of these paintings were sold at sky-high prices, and today it only cost 10,000 US dollars to pocket these national treasure-level paintings, which is really too cheap.
But this is too much to bully him, although now he will be very grateful to himself, but in the future, once he realizes that his painting is worth ten thousand gold, will he still be willing to work for himself?
If you can't do it, you have to find a way to let him work for the rest of his life, this is a national treasure-level figure in front of him, his level is not bad at all with Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, as long as there is this kind of person in his hands, it is equivalent to having a hen that can lay golden eggs, and he doesn't have to worry about not making money.
After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe said: "Your works are very good, I will choose a few paintings as patterns among your many works, printed on the ceramics, if the sales effect is very good, I will set up a studio for you, you only need to paint with peace of mind in the future, all the ceramics that are printed with your paintings, I will give you two percent of the sales profit as your dividend, do you think you are willing to do this?" ”
"Two percent dividends, this, this, this is too generous, boss, I dare not accept it, I dare not accept it." Lu Yidan was completely stunned by the preferential conditions offered by Ling Shizhe, and he was even more frightened, feeling that the money was very hot, so he refused without thinking about it.
"Don't be busy refusing, I'm a capitalist, making money is my goal, I said that I will select a few paintings from your paintings as ceramic patterns, and if they sell well, they will give you these discounts, if they don't sell well, then I'm sorry, you can only work for me honestly, understand?"
It turns out that this is the case, Lu Yidan put his mind at ease, he didn't think that his paintings would be popular, didn't he see that he had held an art exhibition for three days, and he didn't sell a single painting, and he could only give him a part-time job for the rest of his life, and set up a studio for himself? It's just a big pie that the boss painted for himself.
Ling Shizhe saw that he didn't have much confidence in himself, and he didn't explain more, and thought to himself, one day you will see how popular your paintings are.
He took out his business card and stuffed it into his hand and said: "You take this business card, go back and clean it up, give you three days to deal with your own family affairs, and report to the headquarters of Ambrera company in three days, the company's address is written on it." After finishing speaking, without waiting for his answer, Ling Shizhe and his party left.
Lu Yidan stood on the side of the road, staring blankly at the business card in his hand, he couldn't believe what happened today, he didn't sell a single painting, but he didn't expect Ling Shizhe to come, not only spent 10,000 US dollars to buy all his paintings, but also gave him an enviable job, Ambrera Company, in the whole of Hong Kong, I don't know how many people broke how many heads in order to enter this company, and now it actually fell on his head, it feels as unreal as a dream.
Lu Yidan pinched himself hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Congratulations to Brother Lu for being able to join an international company like Ambrera."
Lu Yidan turned his head and found that it was Jin Yong who was speaking, and Li Mengyao was standing next to him holding Jin Yong's arm.
Lu Yidan concealed his joy and said: "Thank you Mr. Cha for your help, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been where I am today, our family will not forget your kindness, thank you for your kindness, Lu will repay Mr. Cha for his kindness today." After speaking, Lu Yidan bowed deeply to Jin Yong.
Jin Yong helped him up and said: "Thank you for a little favor, now you go back and deal with your own affairs, I believe we will meet often in the future, maybe I will have to take care of Brother Lu in the future?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, I really want to thank Mr. Cha this time." Lu Yidan knew that he owed a big favor this time, and if Jin Yong wanted to ask him for help in the future, no matter how difficult it was, he would do his best to help.
--------------------------------------------------------
Back at home in Repulse Bay, Ling Shizhe asked Tao Chengan and Lin Wencong to sit casually, Li Qian served tea to the three of them and went upstairs with Li Li, and the three of them were left in the living room.
Tao Chengan first said: "Ling Shao, do you really plan to sell the F-4 to the mainland?" ”
Ling Shizhe scattered a cigarette for each of them, shook his head and smiled: "You really take it seriously, you don't want to think about it, even if I am willing to sell, will the mainland sell it?" ”
Lin Wencong took out a match and lit it, first lit Ling Shizhe's cigarette, then Tao Cheng'an, and finally lit his own cigarette.
Tao Chengan took a sip and said, "Then you ...... just now I thought you were really going to sell it to them. ”
"I'm warning them not to make small moves, you must know that the United States has transferred F-4 fighter technology to Taiwan and the Gulf, and the British government in Hong Kong has set aside such a large piece of land for me to set up an aircraft company, so there must be a big fire in the north."
"That's for sure, the F-4 fighters are too much of a threat to the north, and it's no wonder they don't jump."
Ling Shizhe took a sip of tea and said: "That's why I just beat them, at present, the Japanese are very restless, they have reached out to the Diaoyu Islands, and they have made several diplomatic storms with the national government, in addition, the Nansha side is too far away from our country's land, and at present, those small countries around it have not yet had the idea of fighting Nansha, but it will not be too late in time, they will come in a few years."
The party-state is too far away from Nansha, and the only thing that can defend Nansha in the future is the mainland, and there are no fighter planes with a large range on both sides of the strait, and the F-4 heavy fighter is the only choice for our country, although it is not particularly good, but it is better than nothing, and the F-4 ghost is not very bad.
The reason why I mentioned Nansha in front of Li Mengyao is to remind them that although the two sides of the strait are in a state of hostility, in the face of the general interests of the national nation, partisan contradictions cannot override the state and the nation. If the north understood, he would not be looking for trouble, and we would naturally have a lot less trouble. ”
"What if there's trouble in the north?" Lin Wencong interjected.
Tao Cheng'an's brows furrowed, Ling Shizhe looked at Lin Wencong with a smile that seemed to be smiling, and his pupils were deep as if he wanted to see through Lin Wencong.
Lin Wencong couldn't stand Ling Shizhe's eyes and lowered his head.
Seeing Lin Wencong bow his head as if he had made a mistake, Ling Shizhe sighed in his heart, so he didn't embarrass him, and said: "If they make trouble, it means that they are not the people's government, and sooner or later the people will rebel against them." ”
These words were a bit heart-wrenching, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Lin Wencong regretted it to death: I'm a brainless person, what nonsense, can I say casually that this matter involves both sides of the strait?
Tao Chengan sighed, Lin Wencong was his nephew after all, and he still had to maintain it, and after thinking about it, he broke the silent atmosphere and said: "Ling Shao, Wen Cong is young, he came from over there, and he used to be a soldier's child, so he was a little concerned about it just now......."
Ling Shizhe waved his hand and interrupted: "No need to apologize, I don't blame him, I understand." The F-4 fighter is originally a hot potato, involving the sensitive nerves of both sides of the strait, but I still did it, in addition to my own selfish desire to engage in avionics business, there is also an unrealistic dream of China's big air force in my heart," Ling Shizhe laughed at himself: "For the sake of this illusory dream of a big air force, I went headlong into it, and I don't know whether it will be good or bad in the future, but one thing is certain, even if I succeed in getting the new avionics and installing it on the F-4, the party-state will not buy it." It is better to buy than to build, it is better to rent than to buy, to buy weapons from the United States, no matter how bad the equipment is, there is always the benefit of those filthy officials, and to buy fighters from us, how can I have so many kickbacks for them. ”
