Return To 1977 Chapter 998: Lucky luck at the end of the year

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Personal destiny definitely shares weal and woe with the destiny of the country.

Perhaps because of the glory of the country, Hong Yanwu has been doing well and going smoothly since the Republic of China officially announced the return of Hong Kong in 1997.

The approval of the loan application was just a good sign for him, and then the real harvest came.

I love the seedlings and trees that he planted before.

No matter how far apart it is, almost always at the end of this year, fruitful fruits are born.

And if a person succeeds in ascending to heaven, his good luck will definitely benefit the people around him.

On December 21, at the opening ceremony of the "Sixth National Art Exhibition" outstanding works exhibition held by the "National Gallery of Art".

Hong Yanwu successfully won the gold medal for oil paintings for Xiao Heping, giving him an unexpected surprise.

Yes, Xiao Heping did know that Hong Yanwu had been buying paintings to help him win over the judges.

However, the size and structure of the jury that participated in the final selection is really huge.

In this award competition stage, the number of judges composed of nationally renowned art celebrities is more than twice that of the regional preliminary competition.

There are also many officials from the cultural department serving as consultants to supervise the selection process.

Unfortunately, in the final list of judges for the oil painting group, the position of director was held by Master Guan.

The old man's nephew's "Rain and Fog" was edged out by Xiao Heping's "Morning Fog".

You can imagine how difficult it is for Xiao Heping to win this highest award.

To be honest, after hearing the news half a month ago, Xiao Heping no longer had much confidence.

He really felt that if he could win a bronze medal in the end, he would be blessed by God, and he didn't even think about it.

So when he walked up to the stage in a daze and actually received the gold medal certificate and bonus from Master Guan, he was completely confused.

He couldn't believe that Hong Yanwu would use such a perfect result to untie the knot in his heart and help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.

This boy actually helped him win the highest honor in the art world. All young painters aspire to great achievements.

Master Guan, who was supposed to be generous to him, showed a kind and caring attitude toward him, and all he said was words of encouragement...

In a daze, he felt everything was blurry.

Time and feelings seemed to be fading away, and there was only light in front of him, bright light!

It wasn't until there was a round of applause from the audience that he woke up from this confusion, which was like that of Fan Jin.

Fortunately, it was in time and I didn’t make a fool of myself.

He quickly said a few polite words and walked off the stage with a blushing face.

At this time, I saw Hong Yanwu coming up to congratulate Hong Yanwu with a smile on his face.

His heart was naturally filled with mixed emotions and excitement.

So I couldn't help but blurt out and asked an inappropriate question on the spot.

"Xiao Wu, how on earth did you do it?"

Good guy! Thanks to the louder voice of the live host, everyone was paying attention to the stage.

Otherwise, if this sentence is to be heard, it will be too easy to trigger other people's imagination.

But Hong Yanwu didn't blame him, he understood his mood very well.

Just pull him to a corner and tell him straightforwardly in his ear.

"Don't make a fuss, it's actually nothing. The judges determine the level of the exhibition and affect the direction of art development. This is true."

"But don't forget, we can decide the price of the judges' paintings. He's just a nephew. Where can I find paintings that are sold at a good price?"

"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. In fact, if Master Guan hadn't really tried his best to help, I'm afraid you would have only received a silver medal..."

It is impossible for Xiao Heping not to be surprised. He once again refreshed his understanding of life.

Of course, gratitude is a must.

"Ah? Then you... how much money did you spend on Master Guan?"

It’s just that this issue is quite sensitive, so Hong Yanwu chose to avoid talking about it.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Anyway, don't worry, I won't lose anything. This old man is very famous, and he is considered a leader in the domestic oil painting industry. It will definitely not take ten years. The price of these paintings I bought will be Double..."

But even if Hong Yanwu was so relaxed, Xiao Heping could not feel calm inside.

Because as long as you think about Master Guan not only not holding grudges, but also providing great help, you will know that this deal is not a small deal.

"Xiao Wu, I...I really...Hey! How should I thank you? Otherwise, I will give you my painting..."

Xiao Heping is definitely sincere.

But what he didn't expect was that Hong Yanwu said something that moved him even more.

"Brother, let's not talk nonsense. Of course I want your painting. However, my suggestion to you is that if the National Gallery is willing to collect your "Morning Mist", you'd better sell it to them."

"It doesn't matter what the price is. Let me tell you, the reason why famous artists are famous must rely on their works to speak for themselves. Your fame is not big enough. If your famous works can be collected by the National Gallery, you will often have the opportunity to be exhibited externally. This It will be good for you in the future.”

"In the future, when your status in the painting world is stable, I will be worthy of it even if you give me a random painting. I will definitely pay a high price to support you again..."

What is a friend?

Regardless of gains and losses, taking the initiative to consider you, this is a friend.

But before Xiao Heping could let his feelings continue to wander, he was shocked again.

Because Hong Yanwu was very righteous, he showed his ruthless fangs to others.

"By the way, Heping, don't tell me, I really have something important to ask you. Look, there are so many good things here, more than 600 of them, I don't want to miss them."

"But the problem is that I don't have much time, so I can't go here often. I think you will come often during this period of development. Then can you help me contact other painters about collecting paintings? Huh?"

"Let's put it this way, we don't dare to fight with the museum anyway. But I can always keep it in mind when the museum selects the remaining works, right? Especially the jury works and the gold and silver awards. As for the price, it doesn't matter if it's higher. , as long as the tract does not exceed 5,000, you can make full decisions for me..."

Five thousand? The judges’ paintings aren’t that expensive, are they?

Isn’t this the same as taking over the national art exhibitions regardless of cost?

Xiao Heping listened to Hong Yanwu's words, his little heart jumped wildly, and he swallowed and spit.

To be honest, he couldn't refuse this request, but he really couldn't stand the stimulation of this wealth.

And for some reason, he suddenly combined Hong Yanwu and the Laoshan Taoist priest in the cartoon who learned the wall-penetration technique together in his mind.

It seemed that at that moment, Hong Yanwu was singing that familiar jingle, shaking his head.

"Whoever has gold or treasure, I will go through the wall, pass through the wall, take it and run away..."

December 24th is also an extremely exciting day for "Dadehe".

On this day, the "Jianwai Street Office" posted a big notice at both ends of "Xiushui East Street", announcing that the "Xiushui Market" was officially established.

Perhaps it was the influence of Hong Yanwu's establishment of the "Xidan Service Night Market".

The transformation of Xiushui Street into a formal market was more than eight months ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the management measures have also improved compared with the original history, and the measures are much more thorough.

For example, market managers require self-employed individuals who set up stalls and sell goods here to apply for business licenses as soon as possible.

He also took the initiative to go to the market, mark a clear location on the ground for each self-employed person who planned to set up a stall here for a long time, and register on the spot.

At the price of a monthly management fee of 50 yuan, a temporary legal certificate for market operations was issued - a white cloth with the stall number and the words "Do business in a civilized manner, maintain hygiene, ensure quality and quantity, and reasonable charges" printed on it.

It should be said that the price is not expensive compared with the income here.

But people are like this. They enjoy the things they are used to for free and take it for granted.

Once they are asked to pay, they are unwilling to do so.

There are also some people who have jobs and just take time out to do some side jobs every day to supplement their lives. They think it is a waste to pay this money.

As a result, there are many hawkers who are unwilling to pay the "unjust money" and sneak away.

They thought they could sneak back and continue to exploit the loopholes in the future.

Fortunately, "Dadehe" remembered what Hong Yanwu told him.

At the critical moment, he did not act stupid. Instead, he imitated Hong Yanwu's men and quickly paid an extra amount of money in Tian Xianghua's name to occupy an extra space.

As a result, he soon enjoyed the rewards of this shrewdness.

After the Spring Festival, due to the combined effects of strict control of industry, commerce, and streets, and the secret expulsion of Hong Yanwu’s people.

When this street market, which is no more than 500 meters long and no more than 8 meters wide, has completely turned into a hot spot where illegal traders can no longer squeeze in at will.

His income includes a monthly stall rental of 1,000 yuan.

As for Hong Yanwu, who had planned here several years in advance, he was a complete winner.

His more than fifty subordinates secured a total of 128 stalls for him, making him a veritable "Hongban Street" of the "Xiushui Market".

Except for a few stalls that he kept for his own use, he rented them out to "Xiaobaizi" in exchange for rent

So from now on he just had to sit back and enjoy the gains, and he gained an extra six-digit monthly income.

His subordinates were also delighted.

Because if the stall fees and profits in Xidan and Xiushui are added together, each person will reach 2,000 yuan.

But this is it, the good things are far from over yet.

Because Hong Yanwu not only found a place for these people to occupy their seats next - opposite the zoo.

And on December 27, the "Xidan Street Subdistrict Office" also joined in the fun and posted a demolition notice at the entrance of the "Xidan Clothing Night Market".

It was originally for the construction of "Warwick Daxia", "South China Building" and the construction of underground gas equipment.

The district government finally decided to demolish the commercial, catering and service outlets east of Xidan North Street Road.

At the same time, in order to improve the shopping environment, the district government also plans to simultaneously build the "Xidan Quanyechang" with a business area of ​​1,200 square meters on the site of the original Xidan Stadium.

This means that according to the date given by the government, the "Xidan Service Night Market" must cease operations by the end of April next year at the latest.

The iron shed that has become one of the landmarks of Xidan will be completely demolished to restore the original appearance of the Xidan shopping mall.

What about the self-employed people at "Xidan Clothing Night Market"?

All will be transferred to "Xidan Quanyechang" to continue operations.

"Xidan Quanyechang" will become the most professional fashion retail market in Beijing open all day.

There is no doubt that this announcement will have a strong response in the "Xidan Clothing Night Market".

Almost all the self-employed people in the "Xidan Clothing Night Market" had to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

To be honest, the selling time has become longer and the environment has become better. The key is that each of them rents a second-hand stall.

If the government wants to run such a large market, they can rent their own stalls.

The rent will definitely drop sharply, which is the biggest benefit to them.

Some smart people even plan to rent a few more stalls. In the future, they also want to have a taste of earning money while lying down.

So everyone rushed to be the first, almost squeezing through the door of the industrial and commercial office in order to grab the stall.

It's a pity that these people's eager expectations are destined to fail.

Because they didn't know that the "Xidan Quanyechang" plan was originally the idea given to Song Guofu by Hong Yanwu, and they reported it to the superior after they combined it.

It can be implemented today, two years earlier than the original history.

How can this fat water flow to outsiders' fields?

The business area is indeed quite large, but the 150 stalls covering an area of ​​900 square meters have been allocated by default and are all under the names of the Hong Yanwu brothers.

Hong Yanwu still had to hand it over to "Xiao Baizi" to put it out for rent.

So there are actually only fifty stalls left to divide.

If anyone among these self-employed people wants to earn a living, they have to use their skills to squeeze others out.

But having said that, each of them will always have the opportunity to have a stall of their own, which is a good thing after all.

In fact, the worst thing was those people who were petty and voluntarily left Hong Yanwu for a few rents.

They are now on the blacklist of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and they have no role at all.

The only good days when I can really fart my crotch are these few months.

From now on, they will have to stay away from the Xidan business district unless they rent stalls at high prices.

And how could they have imagined that they would be here today?

It is as if everyone is mourning after learning that they have no chance to meet the new market.

When they parted ways with Hong Yanwu, any words they said they regretted were all lies.

But after this announcement was posted, this regret became true.

Only for these few pieces of food, someone drank too much and actually shouted out in tears in the restaurant without any hope.

"Master Hong, I have always been loyal. I was just confused for a moment."

That scream sounds miserable. If you haven’t suffered from hemorrhoids, you will definitely not be able to scream like this.

But what's the use?

It doesn't help at all. It will only make people around them look at them from time to time and treat them as crazy, just to be ridiculed by others.

This means that love is all self-deception, and stupidity is purely voluntary.

Even if Hong Yanwu was present and heard it with his own ears, he would still have his eyes wide open and curse with a sneer.

"You will die if you can't live! They are all pretending to be a fake army..."
