Chapter 266 The Cabbage Price Baby (Second Update! 6000-Word Chapter!)

In 1979, the efficiency and direction of affairs in the Mainland were still very cautious and slow.

As early as April 2, Yin Jun reached an agreement with Yan Dingxian, and Qilin Culture Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Animation Film Studio also signed a cooperation agreement, and the signing bonus of 2 million Hong Kong dollars was paid to them immediately. on account.

According to ordinary rules, this means that the contract has already taken effect, and you just need to quickly select people to come to Xiangjiang.

But things are not that simple.

There is no problem with the Shanghai municipal government, but it involves such a large-scale cooperation, and it is cultural cooperation, which has attracted great attention from above.

There has never been any cooperation with Xiangjiang in this aspect before, and issues of cultural awareness and awareness also need to be considered.

No one can tell whether this will bring us more benefits or cause bad influence.

Conservative people have conservative views and correct thinking, but people who want to be open also have their reasons for being open. Especially in this era, seeking change is the most important thing.

The phrase "crossing the river by feeling the stones" has not been singled out yet, but many people already have this meaning.

According to Wei Xiaofan, in Huajing alone, there were seven or eight rounds of discussions in the ministry, and even two or three rounds of informal discussions in the government, but no decision was made.

In the end, Mr. Wan called a vice president of the government academy he was familiar with, expressing the strong desire of the artists here, and then the vice president finally made the decision, agreeing to let such a large-scale art and animation talent go out.

After such a period of wrangling, it was already late April, and then Wei Xiaofan took the materials and docked with Xiangjiang to apply for a two-way pass for work. It was not until the beginning of May that their group of men and women were accompanied by Wei Xiaofan , set foot on Xiangjiang Island.

In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, all of them are now resigned from Shangmei Factory to join Kylin Culture Co., Ltd., but in fact their organizational relationship has not changed.

Shanghai is not a small city, but Shanghai in 1979 was much worse than Xiangjiang, so these elites from the Shanghai Art Film Studios, when they arrived in Xiangjiang, sat in the car and waited and watched. In particular, Le Yiling, who came to pick up the airport, ordered the bus driver to take them around the Yau Tsim Mong area, which made them even more amazed.

It's not that Shanghai doesn't have such beautiful buildings, there are many on the Bund side, but the streets full of high-rise buildings like this seem very prosperous.

Especially the clothes of the people in Xiangjiang, all kinds of shops make them have a bright feeling.

Fortunately, most of this group of elites are technical nerds, and those who can be selected are basically people with hard thinking, and they don't have too many ideas.

In fact, some of them have been to the United States, Germany, France, Japan and other places to participate in exhibitions, and they are not much different from Xiangjiang, so they can also be stable.

Yin Jun finally looked forward to their arrival and was overjoyed. If Le Yiling hadn't ordered Yin Jun to behave like a boss and not let him pick up the plane, Yin Jun would have followed two buses to the airport to pick up the plane.

The place Yin Jun set up for them to catch up with the dust is naturally the famous Fulinmen.

Although Yin Jun ate more than 30,000 yuan for a meal, the Chinese people all pay attention to being friends at the wine table first, so after drinking for a while, their sense of unfamiliarity has decreased a lot.

Especially when they lived in the house that Yin Jun specially arranged for them, with air-conditioning, windows, and a similar layout to their home in Shanghai, a sense of familiarity emerged spontaneously, and they slept until dawn.

Yin Jun didn't drink much wine, and when they went to rest, Yin Jun and Wei Xiaofan talked about things at home.

Wei Xiaofan's drinking capacity is not something to brag about, two or three catties is not a problem, but he will never drink when he has something to do on weekdays, and he will not drink when he is acting or filming, he is very restrained.

After dinner, when we returned to Yin Jun's apartment, Wei Xiaofan shook his head first, "Jun, your house is so small! It can't even compare to my bedroom... Let me tell you, the house was repaired for me. The houses are at least 4,000 square feet, with three floors in total, and there is a courtyard dam outside, it really shouldn’t be too spacious!”

Yin Jun smiled, "Brother Wei, if you say that uncle and aunt have a good vision, the house you are repairing now, if there is any demolition or relocation in the future, you will have to pay ten or eight sets to your family." of?"

Wei Xiaofan has been in Xiangjiang for so many years, how can he not know what demolition and relocation is, seeing this, he smiled, "I don't want them to come to demolish and relocate, as it is now, surrounded by neighbors and familiar places everywhere, it's good of."

"The development of the city cannot be changed. For example, Huajing has not started to divide the Fourth Ring Road yet, right? I think it will be soon." Yin Jun said, "At most twenty years, your place will be considered an urban area. Then With people from all over the country running to Huajing, after 30 years, maybe Huajing's five rings will be repaired."

"How is that possible? Such a large area! Our village is basically a rural area if we go outside." Wei Xiaofan said incredulously.

Of course, he couldn't imagine that with the reform, reform and opening up, Huajing's development would be so fast.

Yin Jun didn't talk to him too much, and instead said: "By the way, didn't uncle and aunt introduce you to a girlfriend? How about it, have you found a suitable one?"

"Hey, don't talk about it!" Wei Xiaofan was a little dazed when he mentioned this, "It's only been a week since I went back, and I've met dozens of girls. If the conditions are good, there are really a few, but I don't care about them. I don't feel anything at all, I feel like this... It's like an arranged marriage."

"I can't tell, you also want to pursue the freedom of marriage." Yin Jun teased, "Why don't you go back to Xiangjiang? There are not too many girls here who are willing to associate with Master Bao."

"Forget it, I still like my house a bit. Although it's a bit rough, life is not hard now." Wei Xiaofan said with a chuckle.

He has always been a contented person, otherwise, with his current reputation in Xiangjiang Baodao and Southeast Asia, he can go out for a while, pick up a few commercial performances, cut ribbons and socialize, at least he can earn millions, but he I would rather go back to the current Huajing, that poor place.

Yin Jun also knows that Wei Xiaofan is actually worried about his parents. They are all in their fifties and sixties, and their bodies have never been in good health. Go back and take care of them.

"Jun, I brought these talents back to you this time, so I can rest for a while, right? Don't continue to arrange tasks for me." Wei Xiaofan said helplessly, "My parents are really very Hurry up and hug your grandson."

"Speaking of this, Brother Wei, have you thought about what kind of wife you want?" Yin Jun asked.

"Well..." Wei Xiaofan thought about it for a while, and said honestly: "I didn't think about it. I originally thought that it would be fine to go back to my parents and arrange it, but I didn't expect that not only my eyes were dazzled, but also my heart became more and more confused. There is no standard anymore. Although I feel that as long as I have a good appearance, a good personality, and can serve my parents, I am virtuous and virtuous, but I always feel that something is missing."

"This is not nonsense." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Your standard is to choose maids to serve the old masters and old ladies, not to choose wives. When choosing a wife, the first is to like it, and the second is to be comfortable together. This and whether she can take good care of your family are two different things. Maybe you won't want our sister-in-law to work so hard. "

"How is it possible? Can rural people do without work? Isn't that being laughed at?" Wei Xiaofan asked in surprise.

"If that's the case, then why are you unwilling to choose a woman who fits their standards?" Yin Jun said, "Brother Wei, in fact, from your heart, you don't agree with their ideas, so you haven't chosen a good one for a long time now! You are a person who has been to Xiangjiang, and you know what is most important in marriage. Isn’t this a relationship foundation, and then a good family, right? As long as these two are right, the wife you choose is right.”

"You put it lightly." Wei Xiaofan said contemptuously, "It's so suitable, can you find me one?"

"Of course." Unexpectedly, Yin Jun nodded directly.

"Isn't it?" Wei Xiaofan opened his eyes wide.

"It just happens to be related to your next stage of work." Yin Jun said, "Although we now have these 42 people, only 9 are our employees, and the rest will return to Shanghai in two years, so we need more Stop adding new personnel. And where do these personnel come from? The Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts! There must be people in their academies who are suitable for comics. You go to these two schools and give me 1 million directly Hong Kong dollars go in, sponsor their school funds, and then slowly talk about letting their students work in Hong Kong. Coming to Hong Kong is equivalent to going abroad. Do you think they will be happy?

Then, in the process of contacting these two schools, don't you have to talk to many teachers about the pros and cons of their students? Could it be that there are so many excellent and beautiful female teachers, but you still can't find one with the same ambition? She is pretty, has a good figure, is a teacher, and is well educated... If such a woman falls in love with you, wouldn't she be a good wife and mother? "

Listening to this, Wei Xiaofan nodded again and again, his face almost crinkled with smiles, "Jun, you are indeed a scholar, you are indeed a cunning! Yes! I have to choose by myself, and I can contact them by myself. I know what kind of people they are and whether they are suitable... Well, the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts is too far away, and it is not so convenient in Lin'an, so I have to concentrate on finding them at the Central Academy of Fine Arts!"

Anyone who doesn't study must like to have a wife who understands knowledge, so that she will feel that she will have face when she takes it out, and then it will also give good genes to future generations.

Wei Xiaofan didn't read much. He felt that if he had a knowledgeable wife, they would study art together on weekdays. When she was painting, she would go and see it by herself, and when she sang plays, she could come and listen to it. good.

Although the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, it does not mean that no one went to college before that. Before 1977, there were college students, but they did not pass the exam. They were recommended by the children of workers, peasants and soldiers, so the university is still educating students. .

"Don't worry too much about the time, just let the first batch of outstanding students come over next year at the latest." Yin Jun said, "So you have a lot of time to communicate with them and find the wife in your mind. . . . Brother, after you go back, you have to learn to dress up, don't be so honest... By the way, tomorrow I will ask Jiahui to take you to the beauty salon, do some styling for you, and buy a few more sets by the way Clothes, you can try to dress according to these styles in Huajing from now on."

"good!"

Wei Xiaofan readily agreed, for the sake of his future wife, naturally he couldn't be shabby.

In fact, he doesn't know, just relying on his status as the vice president of Xiangjiang's cultural company, it is enough to attract many female teachers who have ideas in their hearts... let alone female teachers, female students of the right age, it is not impossible to fail chasing him.

After talking about the business, Wei Xiaofan washed up and was about to lie down on the sofa in the living room to rest, but suddenly he remembered something, so he hurriedly called Yin Jun who was writing in the inner room to come out.

"Jun, come on, I brought you a present this time, I don't know if you like it or not." Wei Xiaofan took out a scroll from his bag and handed it over.

Yin Jun didn't care about it either, so he opened it and saw that the scroll was about two meters long and one meter wide, and there was nothing else on it, just six galloping horses drawn in ink and wash.

The six horses have different looks, but they are undoubtedly very handsome and lifelike.

I rely on!

A swear word came out of Yin Jun's heart.

Which Chinese person doesn't know the number one horse painter in Huaguo?

Such a painting, even Yin Jun can tell who painted it just by looking at it.

In Huaguo, there should be only one person who can use such a large space to draw such a magnificent horse.

his name

called

Xu Beihong.

Look at the place where the signature is signed, "Thirty-five years spring, Beihong painting".

The two seals next to it are also the two separate seals of "Xu" and "Beihong" that he often uses.

Yin Jun didn't know much about Xu Beihong, but he couldn't stand the wave of national collection boom that arose in Huaguo between 2008 and 2015. At that time, there were many things about getting rich overnight, and even Yin Jun read it with relish. Quite a collection of programs.

If you want to talk about those well-known painters and artists, Yin Jun must not remember them that deeply, but Xu Beihong is different. Among the modern painters of Huaguo, he is absolutely in the top ten, and he can be compared with Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian.

Qi Baishi likes to paint shrimps the most.

Why?

Because his rule is that one shrimp counts as one piece of money, and drawing ten shrimps counts as ten pieces of money.

This habit has been directly carried over to auctions. At its peak, one shrimp of Qi Baishi was worth 1 million. If he painted 20 or 30 shrimp on that painting, it would be 20 to 30 million.

Coincidentally, Xu Beihong's paintings and horse paintings also follow this rule.

Generally, a horse costs 10 million yuan. For a picture of four steeds, the starting price is 40 million yuan. For the painting "Ten Horses in Spring Mountain", the transaction price is 105 million yuan.

Now Wei Xiaofan gave Yin Jun this "Six Horses Picture", although it is not Xu Beihong's meticulously gifted work to friends - he usually writes many postscripts on it for friends, this kind of simple words are just for sale Money... But such six horses will be worth 40 million to 50 million in 2021, the hottest year, right?

Yin Jun didn't like money very much, but he couldn't help asking at this moment, "Brother Wei, where did you get this painting?"

"I bought it." Wei Xiaofan said, "Didn't Huajing and Shanghai open a friendship store a few years ago? There are a lot of things in it. When I bought good things for the group of people in the Shangmei factory, I saw this by the way. I went to buy it. It cost more than 1,000 US dollars, and it really made my heart ache!"

"good!"

Yin Jun nodded, "Brother Wei, when you go back here, in addition to Hong Kong dollars, you also bring an extra 1 million U.S. dollars. I will make a list for you, and you can go to friendship stores in various places for me to see. You can buy all the paintings and calligraphy of the painters written on it, as well as some antiques. If there is not enough, I will give you the money next year. But remember one thing, when there are Shangmei factory here every month when you go back, you Put the antique calligraphy and paintings you bought into the password box and ask them to bring them back to me!"

"1 million?" Wei Xiaofan's eyes widened, "No need, there is still a lot left over the 500,000 US dollars you gave me last time. In the Mainland, US dollars are more valuable, so I will use my Hong Kong dollars and RMB first. ...Jun, what's so good about these things? Brother Wei just thought about your opening here, so he sent you a calligraphy and painting to hang in your office. You spent millions of dollars on these, which is really a waste. "

"What a waste, my brother Wei!" Yin Jun had nothing to hide from him, "Buy these things quickly before the price increases! Twenty or thirty years later, when your son gets married, I will put this If the "Six Horses Picture" is given to him, it will have to be twenty to thirty million!!"

"Blow, keep blowing! How can this be made of gold? It's even more expensive than gold!" Wei Xiaofan stared at Yin Jun, in disbelief, "Brother Wei, don't you know the business of collecting antiques? Now people How is the standard of living in Hong Kong? Xiangjiang is nothing more than that, and the monthly salary in the mainland is only fifty or sixty. How can it be possible that a calligraphy and painting can be so scary? Tens of millions? One hundred thousand!"

"I'm not talking nonsense with you. Let's look at it in thirty years." Yin Jun said helplessly, "Listen to me. On the list I gave you, those painters' paintings and calligraphy works and antiques, you give to my future nephew. If the eldest niece saves a dozen or so pieces, they will definitely thank you in the future, and you will also say, fortunately, you listened to me back then."

Seeing Yin Jun speak so seriously, Wei Xiaofan didn't think he was being confused.

Xiaojun is such a smart person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so irrational, right? And it's impossible for him to hurt me.

Otherwise, how many pieces should I collect with him?

Anyway, now I have a lot of money!

Regardless of Wei Xiaofan's thoughts, Yin Jun has already fallen into excitement at this time.

It wasn't Wei Xiaofan's reminder, Yin Jun never thought that there are such good things to pick up!

Since 1952, Huaguo has carried out various inspections on cultural relics entering and leaving the country, but the problem is that during the turmoil of these years, this inspection has not been implemented for a long time, and most of them inspect jade and porcelain , bronzes and other antiques, the requirements for calligraphy and painting are very loose.

In the understanding at that time, calligraphy and painting belonged to the category of culture, not the category of history.

Even in Huaguo, there is no systematic security check at all on today's international and domestic flights.

As man-made violence and terrorism on foreign planes are rampant day by day, when foreigners go out from Huaguo, they feel that this is too insecure. Some people from friendly countries even put forward opinions. If you don’t check, you can sign a safety commitment for me. Book, if something goes wrong, you are responsible.

Therefore, that is, in 1979, Hua Guo went to France and Sweden to learn their security inspection experience, and then gradually came back to discuss and introduce equipment, etc. In April 1981, the security inspection of international flights began. 11 Security checks for domestic flights began in January.

Without this kind of systematic security check, there is no way to find out whether others have brought antiques out.

To say that China’s thorough awareness and inspection of the loss of cultural relics began in 1993 with the rampant theft of the Qin Cemetery in Dabaozi Mountain, Dunhuang.

Even at that time, it was only forbidden to export the things of Qianlong 60 years ago. The works of Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Li Keran...etc. can be freely bought and sold.

This regulation is still the same until 2020, which is one of the important reasons why the works of these modern painters will be fired so high between 2009 and 2015-I also know that Dong Qichang's calligraphy is good, but I buy it Can I take it out? Can't bring it? Then what are you talking about? Not buying!

It is now May of 1979, two years before the implementation of aircraft security checks, and 14 years before 1993.

During this period of time, instead of letting those foreigners, especially the Japanese, bring out the cultural relics of Huaguo, it is better to let Yin Jun collect them, at least in this way, it can preserve some vitality for the culture of Huaguo.

Of course, to do these things, it is time for Yin Jun to collect antiques in other places. Now that Yin Jun entrusts Wei Xiaofan to buy them at the Friendship Store, there is nothing to worry about.

Because your Friendship Store is originally used to sell things to foreigners. As long as the things sold in it are tacitly let foreigners buy them and take them home, is it true that they are not allowed to take them home after buying them, and can only be seen in Huaguo? look? How can there be such a business?

That being the case, why am I hesitating?

With the invoice from the Friendship Store, it is only natural for me to get Xiangjiang back!

And the more I buy, the more I support domestic economic construction. I am a meritorious minister, right?

Then, if you buy more now, there is another advantage, that is, the deceitful foreign exchange vouchers in the Friendship Store will not be used until April 1980.

The exchange rate of this foreign exchange certificate is even more terrifying than the current exchange rate of RMB to US dollar. It is completely killing foreigners.

If Wei Xiaofan wants to buy things, he has to use U.S. dollars, or future foreign exchange vouchers. Buying in U.S. dollars earlier now can save 20%-30% of the money!

That is to say, Yin Jun has little money now, otherwise he would have brought all the products in all the friendship stores in Huaguo, so that foreigners would not want to buy them.

After thinking about it for thirty or forty years, Yin Jun took his wife and children, and often went to his own treasure house to appreciate these rare treasures that can be sold for tens of millions or hundreds of millions. The feeling of owning, Really don't mention it!

...

(In my case, 6000 words can be considered a big chapter.)
