214 Meet
BΔi JΔ«ng also snowed this season, the snow fell very heavily, but there was no snow on the road, the hard-working cleaners kept clearing the snow to keep the road smooth, and Wang Chenggong's car drove really well, so the group arrived at Shen Lao's house smoothly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the BΔi JΔ«ng office of the Gosho Club is directly responsible for the liaison between the Gosho Club and the charitable foundation named after Shen Lao, Wang Chenggong usually has the opportunity to deal with Shen Lao, and he is very familiar with Shen Lao's residence, so as soon as he got off the bus, he took Xiao Yang and Wen Wan to Shen Lao's home.
Since they had already called Shen Lao in advance, when several people knocked on Shen Lao's door, Shen Lao's wife and secretary hurriedly welcomed Xiao Yang and the others to the living room, and notified Shen Lao, who was resting in the back.
It didn't take long for Shen Lao to come to the living room with a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Yang heartily: "Welcome, welcome!" β
Xiao Yang and the others hurriedly stood up and called out respectfully: "Hello Shen Lao!" β
Although Shen Lao was already 84 years old and full of silver hair, he was still very good, he smiled and asked a few people to sit down, and then sat on the main seat himself, and smiled at Xiao Yang: "You are Xiaolin, right?" β
Xiao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I am Xiao Yang." I am fortunate to be able to visit you today! β
Shen Lao waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be so polite when you come to me, just be casual, just like in your own home." In fact, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and your club has donated a lot of money to the foundation in recent years, and I would like to express my gratitude to you. β
Xiao Yang said: "It's nothing, I just did a little insignificant thing, and it's still far from you." β
Boss Shen laughed and said, "Haha, the two of us don't want to praise each other." He looked at Wen Wan and Wang Chenggong and said, "I know this little Wang, who is this little girl?" β
Xiao Yang hurriedly said to Shen Lao: "This is my wife Wen Wan, we have already held a Western-style wedding in Switzerland on New Year's Day, and we will hold a Chinese-style wedding in BΔi JΔ«ng this month, and we will invite you to attend at that time." β
Shen Lao was very happy, he nodded again and again, "I will definitely arrive then." β
Xiao Yang hurriedly motioned for Wang Chenggong to take out the invitation and the gift he brought, and handed it to Shen Lao, after Shen Lao took it, he first looked at the invitation carefully, nodded again and again, and put it aside, and then took the long box containing the gift and asked Xiao Yang: "What is this?" β
Xiao Yang said: "This is a little gift for you, I hope you like it." Please open it and take a look. β
Shen Lao groaned: "Originally, I have never accepted gifts from others, but I fell in love with you, and I accepted your gifts." β
He opened the box and saw that there was a scroll inside, although it had not been opened yet, but it could already be seen that its paper had turned yellow, and it looked like an ancient sè, Shen Lao's expression couldn't help but become solemn, he opened the scroll carefully, and after looking at it for a while, his hands couldn't help but tremble, looking very excited.
Shen Lao asked the secretary to bring a magnifying glass, and then looked at the scroll carefully for a long time, then raised his head and said to Xiao Yang: "This is the authentic work of Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty." Then he lowered his head again and read out the contents of the scroll: "
Yesterday the snow deep donkey had no hooves, and today the snow clear donkey can be ridden.
At this time, I went to visit Yang Daoshi, and the blue sky still pressed Yang Huasheng.
Although there are many scenes outside the Taiping Gate, the plum blossom water is cold.
Qixia has an appointment and can't do it, and she is lonely with the neck of the crow of Qianfeng. β
Then he looked up and said to Xiao Yang: "This is Xu Wei's own poem "Riding a Donkey in the Snow to Visit a Taoist in the View and Reminiscing about the Covenant of Qixia", where did you get this word?" β
Xiao Yang said: "I bought it from a merchant in Italy, according to him, his ancestors participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and this painting was brought to Italy by him from China. β
Shen Lao didn't ask anything more, but he knew that the process of Xiao Yang getting this character was definitely not simple, it had been more than a hundred years since people brought this character to Italy from Huaxia, and he had not sold this character for more than a hundred years, how could he easily sell it to others? Xiao Yang must have paid an unimaginable price. He shook his head, put the scroll back in the box as it was, and then handed it to Xiao Yang and said, "This gift is too precious for me to accept." β
Xiao Yang's process of getting this painting is indeed very tortuous, he accidentally knew through De Laurentiis that the Italian merchant had such a scroll in his hand, he thought it was very suitable as a gift to Shen Lao, in addition, this scroll is also a national treasure of China, he can't sit back and watch it lose overseas, so he sent someone to find the Italian merchant through De Laurentiis's relationship and ask him to buy this scroll.
The Italian merchant was not short of money, and his family kept the scroll as a family heirloom, and of course he refused to sell it. In the end, it was De Laurentiis who played an important role in it, with his status in Italy, and the businessman also had something to ask for, and finally had to look at his face and agree to sell the scroll, but he offered a high price of 1.5 million euros, hoping to scare off Xiao Yang and keep the scroll, but he didn't expect Xiao Yang to listen to this price, and without blinking his eyes, he beat the money and won the scroll.
But of course Xiao Yang wouldn't say these things to Shen Lao, he smiled and said to Shen Lao: "Shen Lao, don't shirk, I don't know calligraphy, this scroll is also a waste to me, and it can be regarded as worthy of it in your hands." Actually, I didn't spend much money, a friend helped me get it. I was afraid that it would be a fake and make you laugh, but I was relieved to have your palm. β
In fact, before Xiao Yang bought this scroll, he asked the experts of the auction house to appraise it, and he only paid the money after confirming that it was genuine, but now he just said it for the sake of An Shen's heart.
Shen Lao stroked the box, pondered for a long time before nodding and said: "Since you are so sincere, I will not be hypocritical, I have accepted your gift, but I am only keeping it temporarily, I will make a will, and after I am a hundred years old, this scroll will be donated to the country." In the end, it is better for such treasures to be kept by the state. β
Xiao Yang nodded: "Anyway, this thing is already yours, and what to do with it is your zΓ¬ yΓ³u." β
Shen Lao smiled: "I still have to accept your love, so let's do it, I can't ask for your things in vain, it just so happens that you are going to hold a wedding in 16rΓ¬, and I will bring you a gift that day." β
Xiao Yang hurriedly said: "No need for gifts, it's best if you arrive." β
Shen Lao waved his hand and said: "There is no need to refuse, the courtesy is still exchanged, and it is not a valuable thing, just a little heart." β
Xiao Yang listened to Shen Lao's words and did not refuse.
Shen Lao opened the scroll again, spread it on the table, admired it carefully, and called Xiao Yang and the others to the table, and introduced the author of this work to Xu Wei with great interest: "Xu Wei Xu Wenchang, you should have heard his name, right?" This is a legendary figure, he and Xie Jin, Yang Shen and called the "three great talents of the Ming Dynasty", the Ming generation for nearly three hundred years, how many talents, he can be among the three major talents, it can be seen that his talent. β
He was proficient in poetry, literature, calligraphy, painting, drama, history, food, and even the art of war. It's a pity that he had a rough life, and in his later years he was even more destitute, so he could only make a living by selling words and paintings. Speaking of this, Shen Lao shook his head and sighed, and said a few regrets.
"Xu Wenchang's calligraphy he thinks is the best he has learned, the so-called 'calligraphy first, poetry second, text third, painting fourth', of course, descendants have some different views on it, but his calligraphy is indeed a very high achievement. He can be said to have started the style of calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty, Tao Wangling once said that his calligraphy is "called wonderful, said to be a bright person", which is quite a high evaluation; Mr. Qi Baishi once called himself "a lackey under the Qingteng Gate", and he admired Xu Wenchang very much. β
Speaking of this, Shen Lao traced the scroll with his fingers in the air and said, "Actually, my calligraphy has also been influenced by Xu Wenchang, but I have not yet owned his authentic handwriting. The price of his work is too high to afford. Speaking of this, Shen Lao shook his head and smiled: "But now, I can also observe the master's works every day, maybe there will be a breakthrough in my calligraphy." β
Xiao Yang and the others stood respectfully at the table, watching Shen Lao trace the scroll void with great interest, and they didn't dare to come out, in front of such a master, they could only listen, and they couldn't insert a word.
At this time, Shen Lao's wife came out and said, "The nanny has prepared dinner and is ready to eat." β
Xiao Yang hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Lao, but Shen Lao said: "Don't leave today, just have a meal here with me, it's rare that I'm happy today, Xiaolin, you accompany me to drink two cups." β
Seeing that Shen Lao's enthusiasm was difficult, Xiao Yang could only stay in Shen's old house to disturb him.
Shen Lao put the scroll into the study, and when he came out again, the meal had already been set up in the restaurant, and Shen Lao let Xiao Yang and a few people to the dining table, and then personally opened a bottle of rice wine that was very old at a glance and said: "Come, drink some, this is very good rice wine, not intoxicating." βγ Wen Wan hurriedly stood up, took the rice wine, first poured it for Shen Lao, then poured a glass for Shen Lao's wife, then Xiao Yang and herself, Wang Chenggong still had to drive, so she didn't drink.
Shen Lao picked up the cup of mellow rice wine and said, "This was given to me by a friend more than ten years ago, and now there are only a few bottles left." I haven't drunk in years, and I'm too old to drink more. It's still you today, and I'm happy to drink it, but I don't dare to drink more, otherwise my wife will nag again. β
Old Shen's wife glanced at him and said, "I don't care about you, can you still live until now?" Doctors say you can't drink. β
Shen Lao said embarrassedly: "I know, I don't drink much today, three small cups at most." Speaking of this, he turned to Xiao Yang and said, "But you can drink a little more, drinking rice wine is good for your body." β
Xiao Yang picked up the cup of amber-like rice wine and said to Shen Lao: "This first cup, I wish you two elders good health and longevity than Nanshan!" Then he drank the glass of wine, and as soon as he took it into his mouth, he felt a rich aroma in his throat, and the taste was so wonderful that he could not help exclaiming: "Good wine!" β
Shen Lao took a sip of wine and said proudly: "Of course it's good wine, it's been cellared for more than 20 years when my friend gave it to me more than ten years ago, how many years has it been now?" If you weren't here today, I wouldn't be willing to open it. β
Shen Lao is a native of Jiangsu, so he prefers lighter Huaiyang dishes, and light dishes are more suitable for the elderly, so today's table is relatively light dishes, he asked Xiao Yang with concern if they are used to eating, Xiao Yang said: "I think it's delicious." β
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Old Shen is so good, your nanny is a chef-level cook, and today's dishes are so delicious." β
Mrs. Shen smiled: "Since you like to eat, then eat more." β
Xiao Yang and the others drank a bottle of rice wine after a while, and Shen Lao wanted to open another bottle, but Xiao Yang refused: "No need to open it again, this rice wine is delicious to import, but if you drink too much, you will still get up, and you will have the opportunity to drink it again next time." β
Shen Lao gave up at this time, and he asked Xiao Yang again: "Why don't I give you two bottles of this wine?" β
Xiao Yang waved his hand and said: "You often have guests here, you have to keep this wine for guests, you can also drink a few glasses from time to time, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor." Besides, I don't usually drink alcohol, I don't know how to taste wine, and this wine is also a waste for me. β
Shen Lao was indeed a little reluctant to drink this wine, he said abruptly: "Since you don't drink alcohol, then I will leave them, I don't have any other hobbies, I have been older in recent years, and I can't drink any other wine, only this rice wine, my wife sometimes lets me drink a few glasses." Let you see the smile. β
Xiao Yang saw that it was not early, and the old man needed to rest early, so he got up and said goodbye, Shen Lao still wanted to leave him to sit for a while, but Xiao Yang insisted on leaving, and Mrs. Shen also reminded Shen Lao that it was not early, Shen Lao agreed, and he asked the secretary to send guests on his behalf.
After a few people went out, seeing that the snow had stopped, Wang Chenggong sent Lin and Chen to Wen Wan's house, and then returned to the Beijing office of the Gosho Club on their own.
The two entered the house, the rest of the family had already rested, and after the two washed up, they entered the room, Xiao Yang smiled evilly and said to Wen Wan: "Have you recovered today?" β
Wen Wan blushed and said: "The recovery is restored, but we only made love two days ago, and you want it again today, will it be a little more frequent?" β
Xiao Yang said: "It's okay, I'm in good health." With that, he turned off the headlights in the room.
Wen Wan had no choice but to half-push and half-push, and enjoyed a ** joy with Xiao Yang, this night, every room is chΕ«n, and there is no need to go into detail.
In the following days, Xiao Yang did not go out again, but there were many guests who came to visit him, and the general managers of several football clubs in China that had cooperative relations with Ge Shao heard that Xiao Yang had returned to China, and they all came to visit him, first, to congratulate him on his wedding, and promised that Xiao Yang would be present on the day of the wedding, and secondly, they also wanted to negotiate with Xiao Yang about further cooperation between the two sides.
Xiao Yang is still very interested in further cooperation with domestic clubs, which can expand the influence of Gosho Club in China, and can also help domestic clubs to become more and more standardized, and can contribute to Chinese football, Xiao Yang is still willing.
However, Xiao Yang is not responsible for the specific cooperation matters, he only reached an intention with the general managers of these clubs, and he welcomes these people to visit the Gosho Club and negotiate with Smith in person.
This result has made the general managers very satisfied, they did not think about negotiating specific cooperation matters now, their purpose is to have a good relationship with Xiao Yang, now Xiao Yang is not disgusted with their visit, and showed enough goodwill, which has made them overjoyed.
You must know that the club is now in a very high position in Europe, and there is no harm in cooperating with them. It is only said that the coaches they sent to the Gosho club to study a few years ago have now risen a notch after returning to China, which is a real benefit for domestic clubs, and maybe they can also get some high-level foreign aid from the Gosho team in the future, Ge Sui's youth training level is very high, and the players who came out of their youth team, even if they can't play in Gosau, are still very practical in the Chinese Super League.
After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with these clubs, several Huaxia companies came to the door, and they came to Xiao Yang as an advertising spokesperson. The real Xiao Yang thought that they were going to sponsor the Ge Shao Club, so they wanted them to go directly to the club to talk, but he didn't expect that those companies were going to find Xiao Yang himself to endorse, which made Xiao Yang a little stunned, he was strange that there were so many big names in the Ge Shao team now, why not go to them.
It was the people sent by those companies who said to him: "Mr. Lin, now you are the biggest name in the Gosho Club, and the Gosho Club can have no one, but it can't do without you, which shows your status." Especially in Huaxia, you are now the most popular star in the sports world, and it is definitely the best choice to find you to endorse. Of course, you can rest assured that we will never treat you badly in terms of endorsement price. β
Xiao Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, but he thought about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case, the Gosau Club was created by him, and the players were all trained by him, even if the players are gone, it will take him a few years to still cultivate a group of excellent players, but if he leaves the Gosau Club, it will not take a few years, and the Gosau Club will decline rapidly.
And his Chinese identity and the brilliant achievements he has made in the past few seasons also give him a supreme position in the hearts of Chinese fans, so it is not too much to say that he is the most popular star in Huaxia at present. He shook his head again, these companies have a really sensitive sense of smell.
Xiao Yang nodded and agreed to the endorsement, he could earn a lot of money, why didn't he do it? However, he himself does not know much about business negotiations, so he had to let Wen Wan have full authority to negotiate with these companies on his behalf, but he also set a principle for Wen Wan, that is, the company he endorses must be a company with a good reputation in China, and he cannot accept the endorsement contract of any company for money.
Wen Wan has been alone in the public relations department in recent years, and she is no stranger to this kind of negotiation work, she smiled and said to Xiao Yang: "Don't worry, you are my husband, of course I will value your image." I will be strict with the choice of endorsement companies, and you will be satisfied when the time comes. β
Xiao Yang nodded and said: "Of course I don't have to worry about you, anyway, there is only one principle, we would rather lack than abuse, and we will not lack that money." β
Just when Wen Wan was negotiating with those companies, CTV approached Xiao Yang again, and they wanted to do an interview program with Xiao Yang in the "Football Night" column on January 8, titled "Chinese People in the Gosho Club", mainly describing the Chinese coaches, Chinese players and Chinese staff in the Gosho Club, and Chinese fans hope to see such a program, which can also bring some warmth to Chinese fans.
Xiao Yang has no opinion on this show, if it can really bring some warmth to Chinese football, he is willing to do such a thing. However, he is also a little embarrassed, because the Gosho club is now on vacation, and there is no way to shoot any training pictures and life pictures, and those Chinese players and Chinese coaches are also difficult to gather from all over the country for a while.
CTV came to contact Xiao Yang is his old acquaintance Zhao Lei, he has been following and covering the Gosau team, now he is a relatively well-known reporter, and his status in CTV is also rising with the rise of the Gosau club, after all these years of experience, he also seems to be much more mature.
Zhao Lei said: "Director Lin, you don't have to worry about these, the picture, I have been following the Ge Shao team for a long time, and I have naturally taken a lot of pictures of the Chinese people, many of them have not been used, and the Chinese coaches, Chinese players and even Chinese staff in the Ge Shao team, most of them have returned to China for vacation after the holiday, and I have also contacted them one by one, and they have all agreed to this show, now as long as you agree." β
Xiao Yang jokingly said to Zhao Lei: "I am the last person to know, haven't you thought about it?" What if I don't agree to be on this show? β
Zhao Lei also smiled: "You are a busy person now, we don't do all the preparations, how dare you come to invite you?" Anyway, I'm friends with you, and of course you won't look at me embarrassed. β
Xiao Yang pretended to be angry and said: "Since you are my friend, then don't always be 'you', 'you' in the future, as if I am old, in fact, we are about the same age." β
Zhao Lei is not a hypocritical person, he said: "Okay, I'll change my words in the future, I also feel that it's awkward to call it like this." Even if you agree, I'll pick you up on the 8th, live broadcast that night, and you prepare a little bit in the past two days. β
Xiao Yang nodded, and Zhao Lei left.
On the afternoon of the 8th, Zhao Lei took Xiao Yang and Wen Wan to CTV, and sure enough, Fu Zilong, Zhou Guodong, Wen Zhijun, Chen Lei and others, as well as the gentle girlfriends from the News and Public Relations Department of Ge Shao Club, have all come to CTV. The on-site staff told them some problems that need to be paid attention to during the live broadcast, and then prepared for it, and the live broadcast began.
The on-site hosts this time are Liu Jianhong and Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin first made an opening remark: "Audience on the scene and in front of the TV, today we are broadcasting a special program of "Football Night" - "The Chinese in the Gossau Club", as soon as you hear the name, you will know that today we are talking about the most popular football club in Europe recently, the Swiss Gossau Club. β
"Today we also invited Xiao Yang, the head coach of the Gosho Club, Wen Zhijun, Chen Lei, Yang Jian, scouts Zhang Guoquan, players Fu Zilong and Zhou Guodong, Ms. Wen Wan, the director of the press and public relations department of the Gosho club, she is also the wife of Mr. Xiao Yang, and this group of young chΕ«n beautiful girls are all working in the press and public relations department of the Gosho club. They are all Chinese. β
In the warm applause of everyone, Xiao Yang was invited to the stage and sat opposite the two hosts. Liu Jianhong said: "Actually, this is not the first time we have invited Coach Lin to our TV station, the last time was two years ago, Coach Lin, Coach Wen, Fu Zilong and Zhou Guodong have all participated in our program. At that time, many fans were amazed, there were so many Chinese people in the Gosho club. But what they don't know is that there are far more Chinese people in the Gosho club. In the following program, we will invite them to the stage one by one to meet you. β
