Wuyang smiled: "Xiaobao, if you don't say it, I really haven't thought about it, you let me think about it." Wuyang thought about it, if Secretary Zhou was asked to bring it to the leader, it would be impossible not to give it to Secretary Zhou and his wife, then it would be two pieces to give to Mayor Zhu's house, so it would take 6 pieces. Secretary He hasn't considered it yet.

"Xiaobao, you help me choose two green statues of Guanyin, two yellow and one red statues of leaders wearing Mao suits after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a blue chairman wearing the uniform of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, this time it will be so much."

Xiaobao smiled: "Brother Wuyang, how do you know that I made a blue statue?" It took me a lot of effort to get this blue statue right. First cast a section of blue under the neck, then cast the yellow of the neck and face, and then cast the blue on the head, all of which were blind, and when they were taken out of the mold, they did not look good at all, and the red collar badge cockade was added, and after careful carving and polishing, it was basically okay. However, the neck and face are chestnut yellow, and it would be nice to add some red residue at that time. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "Fortunately, you didn't add it, otherwise it would be even more fake, just now, you added a collar badge and cockade, I don't know how to explain it to others." ”

Xiaobao said: "Brother Wuyang, you see, the other parts of the statue are integrated, no matter what means are used, they can't be detected, this red collar badge cockade, you just explain that it is to enhance the effect." ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "It's just like this." But don't do such a multi-toned statue in the future. The statues of the leaders have also been suspended, and the warehouses are not allowed to be sold as commodities and are not allowed to participate in any exhibitions. In other words. It's just me. Only then do they have the power to move out. Xiaobao, in the future, you still have to produce more statues of those animals, don't be afraid of many varieties, the shape almost doesn't matter now, there will be a good one in the future, you can reproduce it, so that our varieties and styles will be rich and colorful. ”

Xiaobao nodded solemnly, "Brother Wuyang." My micro-carving experiment has been successful in stainless steel, I may have to spend more effort in this area, and I have to teach a few of my brothers who want to learn, their carving skills are much stronger than mine, and they are also interested in micro-carving, so I agreed to them. ”

Wuyang said: "You know, our gold and jewelry processing factory will be built soon, and we need a large number of carvers, so you must be prepared in this regard." ”

Xiaobao said: "Zhang Yibo has recruited more than 30 people. My brothers and sisters also recruited some people as apprentices, not counting those who cut stones. There are already more than 80 people, and there are more than 100 people in total, and by the end of June next year, when the new factory starts, these people will be able to do their jobs. At that time, if we recruit some more apprentices, we will have enough carvers. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "The objects carved out by many people can't be sold, and at this stage, it is still mainly to cultivate talents." Xiaobao, your sister-in-law Wu Fang's mother will design some animal graphics, you can focus on this aspect, to engage in things that others don't have, so that we can win by surprise and achieve good sales results. ”

Xiaobao said: "Okay, after taking it, we will carve a part, cast a part, and see what kind of effect is better." As he spoke, he selected the objects, and after the selection was done, he wrote on the box again, and the two of them moved it to the car. Before leaving, Wuyang called Mayor Zhu again to make an appointment.

Secretary Zhou and Mayor Zhu both live in the municipal government compound. At present, the houses of the party and government organs have also been sold to individuals, and the houses of the former secretary Wang and the members of the standing committee of the municipal party committee who have been transferred are still their own, and the only way to take them back is to coordinate through the municipal party committee office, but they have to wait for them to have new housing, and it depends on whether they are willing or not. The address of Secretary Zhou's house was told by Zhou Qian, and Mayor Zhu's home was still written down when the manor sent someone to send him back when he was fishing a long time ago, and later told Wuyang.

The mayor's building is a two-unit five-story building, with a garage on the first floor and a mayor's house on the second floor and above. Mayor Zhu is on the 3rd floor to the west, and Secretary Zhou's home is on the 3rd floor to the east. At that time, the municipal party committee considered that the mobility of the city leaders was relatively large, so they all built apartment buildings, and the land was requisitioned to build a rest community for old cadres, all of which were two-storey villas with a construction area of nearly 400 square meters, and the price per square meter was 800 yuan. This is not to say that the city government has posted a lot of money into it, but because it is an infrastructure project of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, all kinds of taxes and fees have been exempted, and the municipal party committee also stipulated at that time that these villas will not be issued with land use certificates, so that the villas cannot be transferred, and can only be lived by the old cadres themselves or their relatives.

When I arrived at Secretary Zhou's house, it was Mrs. Zhou who opened the door. After Wuyang called Auntie, Mrs. Zhou warmly greeted him into the house, Wuyang held a wooden box in each hand, Mrs. Zhou wanted to pick it up, Wuyang said: "Auntie, this wooden box is quite heavy, you let me put it on the ground, I still have two boxes that I haven't brought in." ”

After moving the other two boxes in, Wuyang said, "Auntie, I invited you a Guanyin, I don't know if you like it." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "You kid, why do you talk stupidly, if you invite Guanyin, you won't like it?" ”

Secretary Zhou came out of the study at this time, and he wanted to say something, so he had to smile: "Xiao Li is here, please sit down." ”

Wuyang smiled: "Secretary, you have a rare opportunity to hide in the study and read." ”

Secretary Zhou said: "I don't have any hobbies, except for work, just reading books, but I can't help it, I have too much entertainment." Sometimes I can't see it even when I get dizzy and my head is swollen. Isn't it advocating learning now, we must guide the city's party members and cadres to study well, and how can we not deeply understand it? I advise you to study hard and set an example for the county's party members and cadres. ”

"Secretary, I have read the textbooks issued by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee several times, and I have also read the experiences of many people on the Internet, but I feel that my ideological understanding is still not good enough, especially in connection with actual work, and I still have to ask the secretary to give more teachings."

Secretary Zhou said: "You have already considered the actual work, which means that you still spent effort to study." In order to link theory with practical work, more efforts must be made. Improve your theoretical level and practical work experience. This is not something that can be solved overnight. Take your time. ”

"Look at you two. That's all there is to it during working hours, but not enough? Xiao Li, sit down, let's take a look at the Guanyin statue. Mrs. Zhou greeted warmly.

Since Xiaobao had already marked it, he immediately took out the statue of Guanyin and the statue in the uniform of the Red Army. "Oh", a few people couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Secretary Zhou used both hands to hold the statue up, but he didn't expect it to be too strong, so he didn't hold it up. "Xiao Li. Is this really carved in stone? So heavy? ”

Wuyang smiled: "Secretary, do you think it's made of the kind of resin in the shops on the street?" If it was something like that, I wouldn't have brought it over. ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled: "Xiao Li, don't care, we've only seen resin." This Guanyin is so well carved, with a kind face, and the appearance of all living beings. This jade is a whole, without a single flaw, where did you find it? ”

Wuyang smiled: "Auntie, this is purely a coincidence. If you really want to look for it, you may not find it yet. If you like it. It has value, perhaps, it was born for you. ”

"Xiao Li, we can't afford such a good thing, just one look is enough, you better put it away." Mrs. Zhou said.

"Auntie, you're going to see the outside. This object was cut from the jadeite that had been carved on the bracelet last time. I spent 200,000 yuan to buy a stone, took out 80 kilograms of jadeite, made 4 such statues, and hundreds of other objects, and spread them evenly, the cost of each is already very small, so small that I am embarrassed to take your money. If you don't like it, just throw it away, and I'm too lazy to take it back. ”

Mrs. Zhou said, "Xiao Li, I have seen some good things. Let's just say that this box, this material, and this workmanship are no less than 10,000 yuan. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Auntie, you are really good eyesight, this box is made of real rosewood." But if you have time, you can come to my house and have a look, my uncle's company, bought a lot of it and put it there, that is, 500 dollars a cubic meter to buy it back, not as valuable as you said. ”

Secretary Zhou had been looking at the statue of the leader beside him, and then he said: "The things sent by Xiao Li, you can accept them if you like, and it will be fine." ”

Mrs. Zhou said, "Am I not thinking about you yet? It's not easy for you to climb to this position, and you can't break the big deal for these things. ”

Secretary Zhou said: "Don't worry, what Xiao Li is talking about is the truth, his godfather and father-in-law are my superiors, and they can't come to talk to me, it's just a courtesy exchange between colleagues." Look at how well the statue of the chairman in military uniform is carved. When the chairman took this picture, he happened to be the same age as me this year, and I liked this image of the chairman very much. With that, he took the statue back to the study.

"Xiao Li, come in and help me settle down."

Wuyang hurriedly followed into the study, and after Secretary Zhou put down the statue, his eyes stared at Wuyang, "Xiao Li, tell me honestly, how much is this statue worth?" ”

Wuyang smiled: "Secretary, didn't I just talk about it." ”

Secretary Zhou said with a smile: "Little rabbit, don't be sloppy with me, bully me for not understanding the market, with something in hand, do you think I can't find out the price?" If there is a discrepancy between what I find out in the future and what you said today, see how I clean you up. ”

"Secretary, then I'll report the actual price, so as not to say that I deceived the leader. This item plus the wooden box, I spent less than 5,000 fast, but if it is sold, the price should be about 500 million, and if it is auctioned, the price is between 6 and 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ”

Secretary Zhou's face changed for a moment, and he quickly recovered. "Is it really that valuable? Since you're so rich, you're still a fart system? ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "Secretary, if this object is not sold for a day, it will not be able to turn into money, it is just an object." If I sell it one day and it becomes money, won't I be able to do my job wholeheartedly and not think about money? Besides, our country is an official-based country, and if a person has money, he may not be able to keep it. However, if I join the system, even if I am a section-level or department-level cadre, I believe that I still have the ability to protect myself. At least I will always study the laws and policies of the country, and my horizons will be much broader, and I will follow the trend of history, right? ”

Secretary Zhou thought for a moment, "You are young. Where did such a complex idea come from? Was it instilled by your uncle? ”

"I can't hide anything from you."

"Alright. Go back and work hard. Such a thing is not an example. ”

"Secretary, our county is going to carry out a major adjustment of middle-level cadres recently, what instructions do you have?"

"You can work actively and prudently, and in the use of cadres, you must be as fair and just as possible, I know that you will definitely not accept bribes to sell official positions, but it is inevitable that cadres will be selected according to personal likes and dislikes, which is another kind of unfairness. That's right. Those young comrades who go to the county with you can be boldly promoted and used by your county party committee, and you can let them be in charge of a township or a committee or bureau office, and these people will be your team in the future. It is difficult for any leading cadre to carry out his work without his own team of cronies, especially when the work tasks are particularly heavy or cannot be understood by the majority of people, your team members are particularly important. Do you remember my words? ”

Wuyang said: "Xie Lu Xie Secretary Xie's teachings, I will follow them." ”

Secretary Zhou said: "Whatever is done, as long as it is out of public intentions. Just be bold and do it, nothing. When the sky falls, the municipal party committee and the municipal government will give you a top. It's okay, you should go back early. ”

"Secretary, I also have to go to Mayor Zhu's house for the appointment and dismissal of cadres."

"Remember, you can't talk nonsense about who you go to in the future, it's okay for me to have a good relationship with Mayor Zhu, if you change the relationship that is not good, you won't be a good person. This time, you should simply go to the home or office of each Standing Committee member and ask for their opinions, so that they don't have to call you. ”

Wuyang said: "Okay, I will stay for half a day tomorrow in the municipal party committee and the municipal government and report to the leaders." ”

Secretary Zhou smiled: "I see that you are busy, tomorrow is Saturday, and everyone will not go to work in the office, just make a phone call to each of you." In addition, the work of civil servants throwing themselves into the great tide of socialist economic construction that you have carried out this time has already caused an uproar in the whole city after the documents of the municipal party committee were forwarded, and even many cadres of the municipal party committee and government organs have been moved. ”

"It's good." After Wuyang finished speaking, he walked out of the door of the study, and Secretary Zhou sent it to the door of the study.

Holding two wooden boxes into Mayor Zhu's house, Mrs. Zhu, who opened the door, said with a smile: "Xiao Li, what are you doing here?" Look at your box, it's a very valuable thing, you can't bribe your Uncle Zhu. ”

Wuyang put the wooden box on the ground and said with a smile: "Auntie, see if I am a person with the ability to bribe." I've only been working for a few days, I haven't been paid much, and I still have to eat. This is a small jade object, given to grandma and Uncle Zhu as an ornament, it is not worth a few dollars at all. ”

At this time, Mayor Zhu and Grandma Zhu both came out of the room, and Mayor Zhu said, "Come on, sit down." Xiao Li, what are you messing up about? Hurry up and open it and take a look, if it's too valuable, you can move it back for me. ”

Wuyang didn't speak, but opened the wooden box containing the statue of Guanyin, and when Grandma Zhu saw it, her eyes couldn't leave, "Child, what kind of material is this thing made of?" ”

"Grandma, this is carved out of jadeite, do you still like it?"

Grandma Zhu said: "I like it, but I don't know what the price is, the Guanyin I invited back last time was still porcelain, and it cost hundreds, so this is even more expensive, right?" ”

Wuyang said: "I happened by chance, the last time I bought a stone, Uncle Zhu was also present, that piece of jade carved 4 such Guanyin, and there are many bracelets, rings or something, so the price will not be very high." As long as you like, you can open the light yourself and place it next to your porcelain Guanyin. ”

Wuyang said, opened another wooden box, and took out the statue of the leader inside, in the bright light, yellow, orange, shiny, and radiant.

"Xiao Li, in fact, you shouldn't be like this, with my relationship with your father-in-law and godfather, I will definitely do my best to help you, in this way, what do you tell me to say?" Mayor Zhu is more aware of the price of these things, and in front of his family, it is difficult to say it, so he has to say so.

"Uncle Zhu, don't care, just treat it as if it is made of resin, it shouldn't affect the relationship between you and my father-in-law, you took care of me so much before, please just do the same."

At this time, a young man came out of the room, and Wuyang knew that it was Mayor Zhu's son. "Secretary Li, I heard that your martial arts are very good, can we have a fight?"

Wuyang just wanted to change the topic, and as soon as this kid interrupted, he sent a pillow to Sleepy. "Brother, although this is the second time we have dealt with each other, we still don't know each other enough, can you introduce yourself first?"

"Okay, my name is Zhu Qibin, and he is the other one, Wen Wubin. I'm 22 years old now, and I'm graduating from my senior year. I started practicing martial arts at the age of 5, my grandfather was my master, and I also studied martial arts in college, participated in several national competitions, and once entered the top six in individual events. ”

Wuyang said, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" Do you want to go down the path of martial arts, or do you pursue another career? ”

Zhu Qibin said: "Secretary Li, to be honest, let me take the civil service exam, I definitely can't, of course my father can arrange a job for me, but I don't want to work." ”

Mrs. Zhu said: "This child just wants to make a fortune all day long, and it is full of boundless ideas. ”

Wuyang said: "If you want to get rich, it's not a bad thing, but you must have the ability to make money." Brother, you have been practicing martial arts for so many years, how are you doing? ”

Zhu Qibin said: "I don't know what the spirit is, grandpa taught me luck to go through the meridians, and I can already go through some of them, but the second pulse of Ren Du has not been passed, and my grandfather passed away." Grandpa suffered internal injuries when he was young, so he didn't live to be 80 years old. Otherwise, my skills might have been better. ”

"Tell me what your highest ideal is?" Wuyang said.

Zhu Qibin said with a smile: "Secretary Li, how can I have the highest ideals." I just want to practice martial arts well, and I don't have to be too good, I just need to be able to protect myself. Then there is a money of tens or tens of billions of dollars, working for a few months every year, traveling to various parts of the world for a few months, and easily living a lifetime. ”

"I guarantee that more than 95% of the young people who have this idea of yours make up the total. But that's fine, at least you didn't think of using your father's power to appeal for anything, and you also thought of working for a few months a year, which is good. Uncle Zhu, do you support Qi Bin's idea? ”

Mayor Zhu smiled: "You ask him, can our elders manage him." ”

Wuyang said: "In this case, Qibin, you can work with me for 5 years, and you can continue to work with me if you want to continue to work with me in the future, and you can also set up your own door if you want to." ”

He said this because there is no immediate family member in his family to take over for the time being, 5 years later, the cousin of the little aunt's family has grown up, and the cousin is no worse than Wuyang himself whether it is academic performance or martial arts, and now he has his own careful guidance, and his achievements will definitely surpass him in the future, and it doesn't matter if Zhu Qibin is in his own company or not.

"Secretary Li, what kind of height can you let me reach in the past 5 years?"

"I will open up the second line of Ren Du for you, let your martial arts reach a considerable height, bring you into a high realm of business, and fully realize your ideals. Of course, this period must be very hard, you know that it is not easy to practice martial arts, and the degree of hardship you endure determines your height. ”

Zhu Qibin smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of hardship, but Secretary Li, you haven't told me how much money you can make?" ”

Wuyang said: "When the time comes, you will feel that more money and less money is a problem of one more zero and one less zero, in fact, there is no practical meaning." ”

Qi Bin opened his mouth wide, "Isn't that a world-level rich man?" Okay, Secretary Li, I did it. You say, what do you need me to do now? ”

"There's something to do right now." (To be continued......)
