Chapter 38: Moving
Preparations for the move took four or five days and were not completed until mid-fifth lunar month. Knowing that his brothers were going to move, Yuxuzi deliberately calculated it, and then sent someone to inform the people of "Qingyuan", saying that May 18 was an auspicious day for the zodiac, which was very suitable for moving, and suggested that the brothers move on this day.
The people who traveled through the "Qing Garden" originally didn't care about the yellow calendar and the auspicious days, but since Yuxuzi sent someone to report for this, and there were no two days before May 18, everyone also received this love and set the date of moving on May 18.
During the period when most of the traversers were preparing to move, the negotiation of the transfer of the Qinglou on Fan Wucheng's side was also relatively smooth, and Fan, Song and others and Boss Lu of the "Yanjue Building" had reached a consensus on the transfer of the Qinglou. Of course, from the bottom of his heart, Boss Lu didn't want to transfer his business too much. After all, Liangxiang City is the traffic artery of Nanjing's Youdu Mansion to the south, and the "Yanjue Building" is the largest green building in Liangxiang City. Now let him transfer such a cash cow to others, this Boss Lu is naturally unwilling. But he was unwilling to return, but he had to endure the pain of parting his love. Because the strength of "Qingyuan" itself is there, behind them there are the parents of Liangxiang and the support of the "land snake", and there is also a more powerful arm in Youzhou City. Therefore, Rao is boss Lu has been operating here for several years, and he has some connections, but he still doesn't dare to be the enemy of the "Qingyuan" brothers.
Although he didn't dare not sell, Boss Lu, as a businessman, still planned to raise the price as much as possible at the beginning to earn a little more profit for himself. How do you know that the "Qingyuan" brothers sent him to negotiate, that guy named Fan Wucheng is extremely shrewd, and he is quite knowledgeable in business, and he is tired of dealing with it after several confrontations. As a result, not only did he not take advantage of it, but was depressed by the other party for various reasons. In addition, the woman named Liu Yunyan was involved on the side, so he couldn't do it if he wanted to use the girl in his building to make a beauty trick.
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Boss Lu had no choice but to bite his teeth and stomp his feet, accepted the other party's offer, and was ready to transfer the "Yan Jue Lou" at a price of only 3,000 yuan. This amount of money is equivalent to about a year's income from "Yanjue Building", which can really be called a "bleeding sale". Therefore, when Fan Wucheng reported the results of the negotiations to the committee, several members were amazed and unanimously praised him and Seinfeld for their good skills, and this time they made a great contribution to the team.
Everyone's praise made Fan Wucheng and Song Feiyang a little embarrassed, and they were humble, saying that the reason why this negotiation was so successful was the result of the joint efforts of the brothers of "Qingyuan". If it weren't for the brothers behind them, the two of them wouldn't have been able to do this anyway.
However, the transfer negotiation has come to an end now, and the remaining work is to finalize the details of the transfer with Boss Lu, sign the transfer agreement, and go to the county yamen to go through the relevant legal procedures. Because the move was due in a few days, the committee asked Fan to set the date of the official transfer after the move, so as not to affect the progress of the move.
In this regard, Fan Wucheng did not have any objections, saying that now the initiative of transfer is in his own hands, when to sign, when to go to the yamen to go through the formalities, when to officially take over the operation and management of the Qinglou, these are all decided by his own side. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Yunyan had to deal with her boss, it would be no problem to postpone it until next month.
Seeing that Fan Wucheng was so confident, the four members of the committee were also relieved. After discussing it, several people decided to set the date of the official transfer of the reception on May 20, so that Liu Yunyan could leave about half a month to do a short-term training for those Qinglou women, so that she could be more perfunctory to her boss.
The plan was decided, and Fan Wucheng and Song Feiyang went back to their residences to rest, but the four committee members were not idle, and they still had to discuss how the committee would meet in the future. According to the plan for dispersed residence, Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan were going to move to the "Jingyuan" outside the city. As the decision-making body that crosses the team, the committee needs to meet frequently to deal with the team's various affairs. If it is dispersed into two places, it will inevitably cause trouble for future work, but in order to effectively manage the traversal people living in the "Quiet Garden", it is necessary to adopt this method of dividing the troops.
The reason why it is not managed in a way similar to that of Feilongzhai is that the nature of the two is completely different. Although there are a large number of people in the Flying Dragon Village, it can also be said to be the key interest of the team, but the main body there is still minions and leaders at all levels. These people belong to this era, and they follow the code of conduct of this era. Now the Travelers had established their authority among them in various ways, and a left-behind group of only five people under the leadership of the committee was enough to manage them.
The situation in the "Silent Garden" is quite different, where the main body of residence will be the traveler. These traversers are theoretically equal to each other, and although there will be functional group leaders, their limited authority can only be exercised within the group, and they have no influence over the traversers outside the group. In order to effectively manage these traversals, it is necessary to have a governing body that is recognized by them. This would necessitate the creation of a body similar to the current Commission. The question of the relationship between this body and the existing Commission and how the two bodies should coordinate with each other will be a big question. If it is not done well, it will lead to a struggle for power with each other and multiple orders, which is definitely not the result that the traversal people want to see.
However, although the method of dividing forces can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems, it also gives rise to new problems that are inconvenient for the Committee to meet. Thankfully, the team now has a few radios in their hands, which can provide a quick and efficient way for both parties to get in touch. After consultation, the committee decided to contact the radio once a day in the morning, afternoon, and evening after the move, and communicate and make decisions on issues that need to be discussed and consulted by the committee that day. In the event of an emergency, emergency consultations can be held at any time via radio. When the radio station fails and cannot be used, the designated personnel will be directly dispatched to transmit human information. In addition to radio communication, members of the Committee meet every 10 days. The venue of the meeting was chosen to be held in the "Qing Garden" or the "Jing Garden" according to the actual situation at the time. ,
After solving the problem of communication and liaison, Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan, two committee members who were about to move, went to work on their own affairs. Because Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin didn't have to move, they were naturally much easier than Li and Xu, and they didn't have anything to do at this time, so they left the small conference room leisurely and went to find their beautiful wife Qingqing and me.
On May 18 of the lunar calendar of the fourth year, the "Qing Garden" was full of people, and it was not lively. Whether it's those who need to move or those who don't stay, they're all busy. The servants went in and out, carrying the luggage that had been packed in advance to the car one by one. The brothers of "Qingyuan" shouted and instructed the servants to move things, while the brothers and brothers said goodbye. Especially Liu Wendong, Hong Yan, Liang Ziyue, and Hu Xueying, two couples, are even more reluctant to give up with each other.
Because the two couples belonged to different functional groups, they were separated from each other and had to live separately. Although the distance between the two houses is not too far, it can be reached in less than two hours by car, and it can be faster if you ride a horse. However, due to the team's safety regulations, if they really want to meet their lovers, the process is quite troublesome. To this end, two couples had applied to the Commission in the hope that they could be placed together or that the procedure for going out could be simplified. The Committee also discussed the matter, but ultimately did not approve their application for adjustment of accommodation.
This was not to say that the Committee was impersonal, but rather that their respective responsibilities were more important. Hong Yan and Liang Ziyue's work focus is in the city, and the importance of their work is needless to say, they are both indispensable positions for the team, and they definitely can't live outside the city. Although Liu Wendong is only an ordinary member of the science and technology group, because the team has put the research and development and production of glass products on the agenda in order to solve the financial deficit problem as soon as possible, as a professional in this field, he must immediately devote himself to related work. For reasons of confidentiality and to avoid unnecessary trouble, the research and development of various new products can only be placed in the "Jingyuan" outside the city. Therefore, he and his wife cannot live together anyway. Hu Xueying's situation is somewhat different, and she was arranged to live outside the city more for security reasons. Theoretically, the archives she is in charge of can be located inside or outside the city, and the reason why it is located outside the city is for security reasons. Compared with the "Qing Garden", the "Jingyuan" is remote and isolated, and the surrounding terrain is simple, which is easy to observe and guard, and can more haode ensure the safety and confidentiality of various archives.
Of course, the Committee also took into account the actual situation of the two couples and, after studying it, approved their application for simplified departure procedures. It was agreed that Liang Ziyue and Liu Wendong could go out alone without security Liliang on the premise that they had notified the committee in advance. This decision is not only to take care of Liu and Liang, but also based on the premise that both of them have kung fu and have a certain ability to protect themselves when they go out alone.
Although the committee did not approve all of their requests, the two couples regretted that part of their purpose had been achieved, so Liu Wendong and others no longer blindly asked for an adjustment of their residence, but accepted the committee's arrangement.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, a procession of more than twenty wagons and five or six horses finally set out - only some of these carriages were traversing themselves, and most of them were hired from the carriage and horse shops in the city. The convoy marched all the way to the "Jingyuan", attracting many people along the way.
Although there are a lot of carriages, but they can't stand the people and things that need to be transported through the crowd, Rao has more than 20 carriages, and he has not been able to transport people and things to the "Jingyuan" at one time, but has run back and forth twice. From 9 o'clock in the morning to about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, all the things that should be moved were moved to the destination, and the "Qingyuan", which had been lively for most of the day, finally returned to its former tranquility.
Because the luggage had to be reopened and the various items inside were placed in place, when the "Qingyuan" stopped, the "Jingyuan" as the destination was still in full swing, and the noise did not slowly calm down until the time of the lantern. And when the "Jingyuan" became worthy of its name again, this huge moving activity finally came to an end.
