Return To 1977 Chapter 611: Feelings

In November, just as Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took up their new jobs, their "side business" also underwent new changes.

On the one hand, Hong Yanwu's people completely withdrew and completely handed over "Zhonghua Cinema" and "Tianqiao Theater" to "Dadehe".

On the other hand, Hong Yanwu himself also rented out the home appliance warehouse behind the theater after the inventory was cleared.

As for the twenty or so people who were evacuated, Hong Yanwu did not relocate them to other theaters.

Since the "luxury goods wholesale" business is becoming more and more popular, he has basically assigned those "pipeline workers" to stay in hotels everywhere, specifically responsible for "making friends" with buyers from various places.

As for the remaining four or five people who were originally in charge of "eye management," he handed them over to "Xiao Baizi" and "Dayong", the later promoted person in charge of "Zhonghua Cinema", to form a new team responsible for the two thing.

The first is to ask them to go to the door of the Friendship Store and collect "foreign exchange coupons" directly from more and more "scalpers" at the lowest possible price.

"Guardians" are all stubborn people who are good at playing with the base of their arms. With the deterrence of force, we can prevent those "scalpers" from having evil intentions.

The second is to let them use these "foreign exchange coupons" to buy goods at the "Friendship Store" and transfer goods to the new warehouse.

What should I buy?

Hong Yanwu wanted two famous wines, Maotai and Wuliangye, and high-end cigarettes such as "Zhonghua", "Peony" and "Youyi". Because these things ship quickly, sometimes it’s too late to catch them. Then you have to buy some if you can.

Especially for wine, even if it cannot be sold, it will retain its value if left alone. To put it bluntly, Hong Yanwu didn't want to make a move without three to five times the profit. He knows how much Moutai will be worth if it is kept for decades.

The so-called "new warehouse" is actually the third bedroom that Song Guofu's family originally owned.

When Hong Yanwu agreed to give the two theaters to Dade, he had already thought about it. He would simply take the Song Guofu's house and use it as a warehouse. It is safe and secure.

What is especially appropriate in this matter is that since "Xiaobaizi's" sister got married, "Xiaobaizi"'s family has been inconvenient and has housing difficulties.

It's good now, one house is for "Xiaobaizi" to live in, and two houses are used for storage. Not only does it solve the actual problem. This kid can also help Hong Yanwu as a treasury manager. It's a matter of doing it twice.

Speaking of houses, there is one more thing that needs to be mentioned. That is to say, after more than half a year, the renovation of the four courtyards of the Hong family's old house has been completed.

Now, except for the small foreign-style building where Hong Shoucheng lived, and the house walls, front door, and back door that Hong Yanwu deliberately left untouched, the entire courtyard has basically restored its original appearance. It also has water, electricity and heating.

From now on, as long as you pay attention to the roof tiles before summer every year, you can live there with peace of mind. There won't be any big problems in ten or twenty years.

However, the work has been done to this extent, which is really tiring for these old craftsmen. Even Yuan Sheng and Wang Hanping couldn't stand it.

The two of them made a statement to Hong Yanwu, saying that they couldn’t move on to the small stone building down there. What's more, they took a look and found that some of the materials were quite difficult to find at the moment. There are no stone or wooden floors. If you want to cultivate, you have to give everyone a rest and think of a way.

Hong Yanwu felt very uncomfortable about this. Knowing their hard work, not only did they agree, but they also gave them some extra money when they paid.

Especially for Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping, he also prepared a more thoughtful gift for each of them.

Given to Wang Hanping was a pair of hardwood carved chairs. That was accidentally discovered by Hong Yanwu in the Hong family's old home.

In fact, the value of this gift is secondary. The key is that it has some special meaning to Wang Hanping.

Sure enough, when the old carpenter saw the chair, his eyes were startled at first, and then widened. Then he turned the chair over himself.

Looking at the bottom of the chair, it is clear that there is the imprint of "Long Shuncheng" and the three small characters "Wang Hanping".

Think about it, an old craftsman can actually see and own his works again after a few years. Needless to say, what a surprise it is.

Naturally, Wang Hanping was so excited that he burst into tears. After hearing about the origin of this thing, I kept thanking him and said to Hong Yanwu, "I'm interested."

What about the gift for Mr. Shan? What Hong Yanwu prepared was a six-sided flat piece of aniseed Tianhuang.

The so-called literati love elegant things, but farewells are too vulgar.

But this thing is too expensive. As soon as he took it over, Mr. Shan realized that he really loved it. He had been playing with it for a long time, but he really didn't dare to take it.

Because Mr. Shan can no longer be described as an "expert", but as a "generalist". He knows the quality and value of this field.

I think when Hong Yanwu first bought it, one gram of Tianhuang cost ten yuan, which was already more expensive than one gram of gold. Later, he kept buying, and the quantity of high-quality Tianhuang naturally decreased.

In addition, in June this year, the Beijing "Commerce Bureau" and the "Second Lighting Bureau" jointly held an export exhibition in Hong Kong.

The exhibition was a huge success, attracting 160,000 visitors. Special handicrafts were almost sold out because of their low prices, which were very different from those in the market outside.

Jade, seal stones, bone carvings, enamels, utensils, interior paintings, and traditional Chinese paintings are the most sought after trading items.

Then it was exactly as Hong Yanwu expected. After going out this time, people in China will know what's going on outside. And people outside also know that domestic prices are low.

After this exhibition, the number of buyers from Hong Kong who went to the mainland to "hunt for goods" began to increase significantly, and the domestic price of special handicrafts was also adjusted.

As in the past, "plan first, price second" is no longer advocated so much. Instead, it is mainly pursued to "differentiate internal and external, and set prices separately".

So now Tianhuang’s domestic price has more than doubled, and it has to double externally. That means that Mr. Hong Yanwu's goods are worth at least one thousand two hundred dollars based on the internal price.

How scary this is for Mr. Shan. He didn't know that Hong Yanwu had more high-quality Tianhuang than in the store.

But having said that, Hong Yanwu was also sincere in giving gifts.

On the one hand, he knew that Mr. Shan was a master of seal carving, so he would definitely keep the square seal stone well and make the best use of it if he gave it to him.

On the other hand, he was also afraid that the little stone mansion would never be finished. What's more, I still have my uncle's old house. I won't repair it now, but when I really want to repair it, I can't find an outsider. This will have to be pointed at others from now on.

So he refused to take it back no matter what.

In the end, after many back and forth decisions, Mr. Shan seemed to understand Hong Yanwu’s thoughts. He called out his youngest daughter Shan Xiangyun. Introduced to Hong Yanwu.

"My daughter is on the construction team of the Forbidden City. To tell you the truth, your small western-style building will be renovated in the future. I'm afraid I will have to ask her to do it for you and help you raise funds. I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy. To be honest, a It's because I'm getting older, and after completing the fourth hospital this time, I feel that I have to do it myself again, and my physical strength is a bit out of control. In addition, I have a more important thing to do, which is to do my best while the old craftsmen are still there. Summarizing their skills and writing them down for future generations is something that cannot be done in a year or two. I hope you understand."

What that actually means is that once you have made your words clear in person, don’t give me generous gifts, lest I can’t help you in the future and everyone will be unhappy.

Mr. Ke Shan just didn’t expect that. Hong Yanwu was very happy after hearing this. Not only did he say that the writing should be done, but he also expressed his willingness to provide financial support.

This makes Mr. Shan really puzzled. He asked Hong Yanwu.

"What on earth are you thinking? I have wanted to do this in the past, and even reported it to superiors, but later I was deliberately ignored by my superiors. Now I see that everyone is getting old, and I feel that I will not do it anymore. No one did it. I just tried to do it myself. But why are you so supportive? And I really don’t care about your family’s affairs... ”

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Mr. Shan. To be honest, it was only through you building a house for our family that I really felt the beauty and elegance of ancient buildings. I also feel that this knowledge is too precious and would have been lost if no one summarized it. It's a pity that I ruined my ancestors' things. On the other hand, I still have you to help me repair our house today, but who will I look for in the future? Now that I have this. If I have the financial ability, I can help you keep it as much as possible now, why not?”

"If we can really keep these skills, even if the people are gone and the houses are gone, future generations can still build better ones. But these things will be lost. Even if the people are still there and the houses are still there, there will be no Sooner or later, it will disappear and never exist again, right?"

"And I can definitely imagine how ugly it would be if people who don't know how to pretend to understand are building things randomly, and the capital is full of bright red and green, with dragons and phoenixes painted on them. Like this There is only vulgarity and no beauty in the capital city. It is visual pollution and ignorance. I can’t stand it either..."

Hey, don’t say it, these words really spoke to Mr. Shan’s heart. The old gentleman was happy at that time.

"Young man, you understand this quite well, that's what it is. Visual pollution? Well, that's a good word. Just because you can say these things, I haven't been working for you for more than a year in vain. Busy. But you don’t have to be so polite. You’d better take such a valuable thing back. In fact, I’d be happier if you could support me in doing this than if you gave me Tian Huang.”

Where is Hong Yanwu doing? The more Mr. Shan behaves like this, he still has to give it away. He respected such people. In the end, he insisted on asking Mr. Shan to play for two days before talking. He insisted on staying.

The next day was even more amazing. He said he supported it, except that he sent a thousand yuan to buy film. A box of blank tapes and a VCR were also sent.

While his family members were dumbfounded and in disbelief, Mr. Shan was even more moved by this considerate gesture.

Not to mention, it made his confidence, which was not so solid at first, become more solid.

That’s an emotional high. The old gentleman still insists on getting this matter done.
