At this end, Hong Yanwu finally found a good way to quell the dissatisfaction of the district government to Hu Lu.
On the other side, the old man’s trip to Jinmen was not in vain.
In fact, Hong Lucheng really lived up to his son's trust and spent almost all of the 20,000 yuan given by Hong Yanwu wisely.
Although they didn’t bring back many things, only a little over ten pieces, it must be said that the old couple knew how to choose and buy. Everything they brought back was absolutely exquisite, and they were all items worthy of being put into the Forbidden City.
A pair of Ming Hongzhi yellow-glazed hollow revolving vases with "Fu Lu Yan Continuous" is the largest, followed by a Yongzheng dynasty flat pot with dragons and five brocades, and a Kangxi Gu Yuexuan "Jade Huchun" vase.
There are three small items, an jade ring ring, a Song Dynasty Duan inkstone and a Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken jar cup.
But the most valuable and rare thing is calligraphy and painting.
It is precisely because of Wang Yunlin, an expert, that I dare not hesitate to take action when I encounter something good.
This time they not only bought a volume of Huang Tingjian's large-character calligraphy "Renting Poetry Volume" at a large price, a volume of "Diamond Sutra" copied by Yan Zhenqing, and a "Qianlong Grand Reading Picture" painted by Lang Shining It is divided into volumes "Xing Zhen".
And luckily, I found a pair of handwritten manuscripts written by Wanyan Linqing, the distant ancestor of the Wanyan family, during the Jiaqing Dynasty.
Needless to say, this is no longer an ordinary thing and must be taken down.
What a great comfort it is to Yuntai and Wang Yunlin to get this thing?
As for Hong Yanwu, in fact, it didn’t take so many things to satisfy him. Just the pair of hollow revolving bottles was enough.
This is because in the previous life in 2010, when Hong Yanwu fled and negotiated with foreigners to "pledge equity" in order to betray the enemy, a Qianlong pastel hollowed-out "Auspicious Days Are More" revolving vase was auctioned in London at that time.
This piece of porcelain greatly exceeded the original estimate of 800,000 to 1.2 million pounds at the auction, and was finally sold at a price equivalent to RMB 554.1 million.
When the news came, not only did the domestic media report wildly, but the foreigner who was discussing the equity issue with Hong Yanwu at the time even had a special chat with him about the news for a while, expressing his disbelief that Chinese porcelain could be worth so much.
So, this incident left a very deep impression on Hong Yanwu.
Well now, he also has a pair in his hand.
No matter how ignorant he is, he cannot understand the value of craftsmanship and art. But he knew that these were all official kilns, and they were all hollowed-out revolving vases.
Besides, the difference between one piece and a pair, Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, is all obvious.
No matter what happens, it won’t be too bad? Isn’t it worthwhile to exchange 20,000 yuan for hundreds of millions?
So full of joy, on August 30, Hong Yanwu held another dinner at the Jianguo Hotel, the first French restaurant in Beijing, Justine’s, to entertain his relatives.
The first is for the parents to take care of themselves and celebrate the arrival of the new semester for Hong Yanru and Xiao Hongjun.
The benefits of having a good relationship with my father will be reflected at this time.
Although other members of the family were opposed to this proposal, they all thought it was a bit expensive and were afraid that Hong Yanwu would waste the money he had.
But my father happily made the decision and settled the matter by saying, "Everyone, if you don't want to eat, who will eat? If we spend more, he can live in peace."
And when we got there this time, the old man was so happy that he even opened two bottles of "Champagne King" and ordered a two-pound "Napoleon Cake", so that the Hong family's children finally tasted real champagne and Authentic Western pastries.
This is so good, Hong Yanwu spent his money happily.
Because obviously from now on, he no longer needs to waste unnecessary words with his family on explaining his financial resources.
Perhaps during this trip to Jinmen, being able to find the handwriting of our ancestors will be a good omen for the descendants of the Wanyan family.
Two days later, in Longkou Village, southwest of the capital, Secretary An held a special all-villagers meeting, which also went smoothly.
No one expected that the establishment of a handicraft factory and the promotion of Zhaoqing as factory director were almost unanimously approved.
And after it passed, everyone was enthusiastic and full of hope for the future, which was far more successful than any previous village meeting held by Secretary An.
In fact, this is no wonder. This result is certainly because Secretary An has high prestige and seniority in the village and is the branch secretary.
Because the surname An holds almost all important positions, there are only a few branch organization members of the village committee with the surname Wei and Gong.
But the key is that the profound changes in the concept of wealth brought about by the emancipation of ideas and the opening of policies have already activated people's strong desire to improve their lives.
Although the dream of getting rich from eggs can be shattered, the yearning and pursuit of wealth awakened by the times are like an elf escaping from the cage and will never be trapped again.
Zhaoqing seized on this point. At the meeting, he not only publicly announced that he had borrowed 5,000 yuan in start-up capital from relatives, but also made a promise and guarantee that he would help the villagers get rich. He gained heartfelt support from the villagers all at once.
In fact, even if Secretary An didn't make arrangements for him in advance to clear up good connections. Even if he doesn't have Secretary An as his father-in-law, he will definitely gain the support of the big guys.
That's what Zhaoqing himself said at the time.
"Who wants to be poor? I don't think anyone here will miss the poor days of the past. We have been hungry and struggling for decades, who still has the energy to struggle again now? It's time Who doesn’t want to do something beneficial for themselves today? ”
"What are the benefits? Making money is the most affordable. With money, we can have enough food, wear new clothes, build new houses, and only the bachelors in our village can marry wives. But if we want to make money, how can we make money? Everyone now knows that chicken **** banks are no longer popular. Now I am having a better time raising quails, but if everyone raises them together, it will no longer be profitable."
"So to make everyone live well, there is only one ready-made way, which is to open factories and completely get rid of the situation where we rely on the sky for food. What is the difference between farmers and city people? Isn't it right here? ? People in the city have a fixed income, but we don’t. People in the city have various welfare guarantees, but we don’t. But don’t be afraid, because from this day, from the day our handicraft factory was established, we started. Got it."
"Of course, although we have only 60 workers at the beginning, and although welfare guarantees are not yet available, everything is achieved bit by bit. As long as everyone can work together with me, I will Swear that anything can come true. ”
"Here, the advance guarantee I can give you is that workers in the factory will be admitted based on their ability, and their wages will be determined after entering the factory. They will make the same amount of money as workers in the city, and they will be paid on time every month. And some craftsmen It doesn’t matter to housewives who are smart but can’t go to work in the factory. They can also do piecework work to earn some extra money. As for next year, I want to more than double the size of our factory.”
"And if any of these three things cannot be achieved, let me step down. If I lose money by opening the factory, I will pay for it myself. Because I am here to do it for the benefit of the entire village and to make everyone free. You can live a good life. Can you do it? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience roared, as if a pot was boiling.
Many people applauded and shouted, "Great! A capable person has come out!"
"Firmly support Secretary An’s decision!"
"Whoever doesn't **** is not a son of a mother..."
"It's the turtle grandson!"
"It's a dog day!"
Farmers who have been poor for a long time use such language to express their attitude. Messy means they are united, and vulgar means excited.
Then the whole place suddenly fell silent. That was because Zhaoqing actually took out 5,000 yuan in cash and handed it to the village accountant in front of everyone.
The process of these money changing hands is like holding a grand ceremony comparable to worshiping gods and worshiping ancestors.
In full view, almost everyone was stunned.
It took a long time before someone said, "Oh my god, this is so much money. This is the first time I have seen it."
Indeed, nothing is more attractive to people who are accustomed to poverty than real money.
Once their souls awaken and they see hope, these farmers may even sacrifice their lives in order to escape poverty.
From this moment on, Longkou Village was never the same again.
