Chapter 240: Jin Yong's Purpose
Hanging up the phone of Beacon Fire, Chen Ping felt a sense of pleasure in his heart that he had succeeded in revenge. But it didn't take long for him to suddenly think of something. He was a little angry by Fenghuo's first call, but his mind was not very clear, and now he remembered that his family lived in Wuzhen at this time.
But at this time, the arrow had to be sent, and in desperation, Chen Ping had to call Huang Guangliang in advance and tell him that Mr. Jin Yong had received it, and asked them to pack up two rooms at home for them to live in, and to prepare dinner.
Huang Guangliang is also a fan of Jin Yong's heroes, and when he learned that Chen Ping was going to pick up Jin Yong's heroes, he put forward a proposal to take Jin Yong's heroes to his home, and now when he heard Chen Ping's words, he was even more excited, and quickly instructed Li Li to clean up the house, and he was also happy to go out to buy vegetables.
When Chen Ping returned to Wuzhen, it was already half past four in the afternoon, and seeing the beautiful scenery of Wuzhen's beautiful water town and rare ancient buildings, Jin Yong and Ni Kuang couldn't help but open the windows on both sides, wanting to enjoy the scenery of Wuzhen as much as possible.
When I returned home, accompanied by Chen Ping, I walked around the small courtyard, and then sat under the old locust tree to rest and drink tea, and I couldn't help but sigh.
"To be able to have a place to live in this chic town, Xiaoyou is really a nice person." Mr. Jin Yong's eyes showed a rare show of envy, and after Ni Kuang on the side walked around the yard, he didn't hide his thoughts and asked, "There are no people who sell houses in this town?" I would also like to buy a set. By the way, how much does Xiaoyou's yard cost? ”
"The yard is three million eight hundred thousand, and there are repair costs, which is less than four million in total."
Million?
Four million is definitely an astronomical number in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the two literary masters, it is not so important.
Jin Yong is even more envious of Chen Ping, if there is such a house, let alone four million, even if it is five million, Jin Yong will not hesitate to take it out.
Although he now settles in Xiangjiang. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the idea of returning to his ancestral land to spend his old age. If he used to have this idea very weak, then now after seeing Chen Ping's yard, this idea has begun to grow quietly.
"I'm willing to pay a high price to buy this yard, little friend, can you cut love?" Ni Kuang directly said his thoughts.
Chen Ping smiled and shook his head.
"Xiaoyou is worried about the price? Don't worry, I will never let Xiaoyou suffer. ”
"It's not. You misunderstood what I meant. This yard was specially bought for my wife to give birth, and besides, our family loves it very much, and it will become our second home. So, you'd better dismiss that thought. Of course, if anyone in town is willing to sell their house, I'll keep an eye out for you. Chen Ping didn't dare to say too much, Nima's, this Ni Kuang is a person who loves more truthfully. Beacon invited him when he was drunk, and he took it seriously. If he said that he would help find a house, he would definitely rely on himself.
Just when the three of them were chatting and drinking tea, Huang Guangliang came back from grocery shopping. Seeing the two rich old men sitting under the old locust tree, he was excited, and quickly dropped the vegetables he bought, and walked over.
Chen Ping also hurriedly got up and introduced the two.
"This is my father-in-law, he is a fan of Jin Yong's heroes."
Huang Guangliang smiled and stretched out his hand. After shaking hands with Jin Yong and Ni Kuang, he sat down.
Ni Kuang was a little dissatisfied. Said: "How did you meet all your book lovers, hasn't anyone in the mainland read my book?" ”
Jin Yong doesn't care about Ni Kuang's jealousy, he and Ni Kuang have been friends for half a lifetime, of course he knows that he is unforgiving, but he is actually quite broad-minded.
Chen Ping was a little curious. asked a little more, and after Ni Kuang told Chen Ping about the book lover he met at the airport, Chen Ping was a little shocked in his heart.
According to Ni Kuang, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties is going to the United States to see his daughter. His name is Robin Li.
Li Yanhong's information instantly appeared in Chen Ping's mind, and the similarity was as high as 90%.
Several people continued to chat, chatting about some common topics and customs. About half an hour later, Chen Ping's phone rang, and he looked at the word beacon on the caller ID. Chen Ping deliberately hung up the phone, and then continued to drink tea as if he was nothing.
The phone rings again, and hangs up again!
Chen Ping thought to himself, your sister, your brother won't answer three calls to you, brother is more generous, as long as you call the third time, brother will answer.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, instead of waiting for the third call, there was a knock on the door.
My family doesn't know anyone here at all, how can it be that someone came here at this point?
When Chen Ping was wondering, it suddenly occurred to him that Nima's, Fenghuo knew the original owner of this house, and he must know about it.
Sure enough, after Chen Ping opened the door, he saw an angry beacon fire.
"Your sister, why did you hang up on me? Do you know that I ran from HZ to S City, and I came to Wuzhen directly without rest, and I was almost tired to death, and you actually hung up on my phone and let me walk here. Fenghuo looked resentful, pushed Chen Ping away fiercely, and walked directly towards the courtyard.
Chen Ping didn't care either, and followed the beacon fire in, while talking.
This is called the retribution of good for good and evil for evil, not that the time has not yet come. Your sister, when you don't answer your brother's call, you should be prepared to be stabbed. ”
When he came to the courtyard and saw the two people sitting under the old locust tree, the resentment on Fenghuo's face disappeared in an instant, and he changed to a surprised look and ran towards the two quickly.
"Oh, two uncles, I want to kill you, why did you come!"
When Chen Ping heard Fenghuo's words, his footsteps paused, and his body almost fell, looking at the enthusiasm on Fenghuo's face and the longing shown in his eyes, Chen Ping was dumbfounded.
Where did this kid learn? The acting turned out to be so realistic?
The arrival of the beacon fire instantly made the atmosphere cheerful. even gave Chen Ping an illusion that the two young people were more happy?
At six o'clock, Li Li came over and called a few people to eat.
At the dinner table, Chen Ping introduced his family to the two again. When Huang Qian was introduced, Fenghuo suddenly spoke up and said, "My sister-in-law is getting more and more beautiful." ”
Huang Qian smiled slightly after hearing this, but her heart was very useful, but she didn't laugh for long before she heard a sentence under the beacon fire.
"Alas, when will my Zhu Ping be so plump!"
He's saying I'm fat!?
This is Huang Qian's idea!
Chen Ping was also embarrassed after hearing this, your sister, a pregnant woman is already very sensitive, and you actually say that she is fat now? Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to make her angry?
After discovering the smile on the corner of Fenghuo's mouth, Chen Ping understood that this kid was taking revenge on himself.
In front of outsiders, Huang Qian naturally didn't want to get angry, so she could only eat in a muffled voice, glaring at Fenghuo from time to time, and by the way, she also piggybacked on Chen Ping.
During the meal, Jin Yong and Ni Kuang also praised Li Li's cooking skills from time to time, which made Li Li even happier.
After eating, several people sat on the edge of the lotus pond in the courtyard and chatted.
Chen Ping seized the opportunity and said, "Mr. Ni, I have to report something to you. ”
After Jin Yong and Ni Kuang heard this, their eyes turned to Chen Ping, and Fenghuo also looked at Chen Ping suspiciously, but when he saw Chen Ping's malicious smile towards him, he instantly understood.
"Oh, brother, the lotus flowers in your yard are blooming well."
Chen Ping ignored him and was about to speak, when Fenghuo spoke eagerly again, and said, "The ancients compared lotus flowers to gentlemen, brother, do you say?" As he spoke, he winked at Chen Ping.
"Yes, "Ai Lian Said" does have a reputation for being out of the mud and not stained." I don't know if Ni Kuang is for show, or if he really has some understanding, and he took over the topic in a timely manner.
Fenghuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Chen Ping: "I was wrong, brother." ”
Chen Ping smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "The two old gentlemen didn't come to Jiangnan this time not only for tourism, right? ”
Jin Yong smiled and didn't speak, while Ni Kuang was also smiling and silent, and the two of them invariably played a closed-mouth meditation.
Seeing that the two didn't speak, Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and then he was silent, sometimes taking a sip of tea. Beacon Fire is also a good learner, your sister, isn't it just a closed-mouth Zen. When my brother and Zhu Ping were together, I often encountered closed-mouth meditation, and my brother had long been used to it.
The yard is quiet, with occasional cicadas and frogs chirping.
I don't know how long it took, Jin Yong put down the teacup in his hand, and then said slowly: "The two little friends are really good at concentration, admire." ”
Seeing Jin Yong's actions, Chen Ping also quickly put down the teacup and turned his head to look at Jin Yong.
"I came this time for two purposes, one is to ask Xiaoyou to authorize Ming Pao to publish "Tomb Robbery Notes", and in return, I will help Xiaoyou contact investors for the film adaptation rights of "Tomb Robbery Notes" in Xiangjiang."
Ming Pao published "Notes on Tomb Robbery"?
Chen Ping naturally knew Ming Pao's influence in Xiangjiang, and Jin Yong, as the chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao, was naturally able to call the shots. If "Notes on Tomb Robbery" can be published in Xiangjiang, it will naturally increase its popularity. At the same time, the return that Jin Yong said is also very attractive, although it may not be realized.
"Second, I participated in the Literary Reform Conference some time ago, and I was also paying attention to the media war in the mainland during this time. I think it's time for online literature to take it in stride. Xiaoyou, do you remember what I said last time I was in Xiangjiang? ”
Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and then recalled what Jin Yong had said, and soon after, Chen Ping showed a shocked expression, and he thought of what Jin Yong said when he was eating at Jin Yong's house.
"If I have the chance, I might join in the future!"
Chen Ping originally thought that Jin Yong had no intention of saying it, but now it seems that Jin Yong had already begun to pay attention to online novels at that time. The most important thing is that in the memory of his previous life, Jin Yong did not meddle in online novels, but in this life, he ......
When everyone is attracted by the identity of Jin Yong's generation of martial arts masters, they often ignore his other identity - the chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao.
Jin Yong is not only a literary hero, but also a businessman.
As a businessman, he naturally has a sharp business eye.
Thinking about this, Chen Ping secretly drummed in his heart, Jin Yong's purpose for coming this time was too big! (To be continued......)
