Chapter 271 I Have a House

"Sister Xue? Sister Xue?"

"Baby?"

"Honey! I'm leaving, what are you doing?"

"What are you yelling about?!"

Early in the morning, Chen Qi was dressed neatly and stood in the living room shouting. Gong Xue came out of the master bedroom with an embarrassed face, holding a blown out candle in one hand and the baked plaster in the other, saying: "Take off your clothes." stand up!"

"What?"

"Don't you have a cold stomach these days? Just stick this on. I bought it specially."

"Does this thing work?"

Chen Qi was more skeptical, but he still lifted up his sweater and took out Qiu Yi, revealing his young and strong body. Gong Xue took the plaster, aimed it at his belly button, and slapped it on.

"Ho!"

"It's a little hot, don't move, don't move!"

"More than just a little hot, there is a warm current rising from the Dantian, traveling through the eight extraordinary meridians. I feel that my body is circulating all over the body, spiritual energy is growing, and my magical power will be completed soon!"

"You're talking nonsense again, okay, let's go!"

Gong Xue sent him to the corner door and said, "I will go back to the factory in a while. I have a meeting today. I will come back in the evening."

"Well, then I'm leaving!"

Chen Qi looked at her and suddenly hugged her for a kiss. Gong Xue was startled. When he looked again, he had already pushed the car and ran away, so he could only snort softly.

Now that the Spring Festival has passed, Gong Xue has returned from visiting relatives. The two have not been together for a few days, and he is leaving for Hong Kong again. This made her a little irritated, but fortunately Chen Qi said that a movie would be released in the second half of the year, and the two of them could work together.

"Whoops!"

"Whoops!"

On the road in early spring, Chen Qi rode his bicycle hard against the wind. It was no exaggeration. He felt warm and comfortable in his abdomen.

There is no way, Chinese people are weak and sick throughout their lives, with endless dampness, endless fire, endless kidneys, endless toxins, and endless warmth...

In the spring of 1982, some subtle changes had taken place in Beijing. The roads were still wide and the buildings were still low and shabby. However, there were more and more bicycles. People's clothes gradually became brighter and brighter. Occasionally, you could still see a bicycle. A Datsun taxi ran past.

Datsun is a Japanese car, the price is 40 cents per kilometer, and the passengers are all foreigners and overseas Chinese.

Driving a taxi these days is definitely a high-paying profession. After a few years, the vehicles will be upgraded and become Ford, Bluebird and Crown cars, which are more expensive and can cost 7-8 cents per kilometer.

He rode all the way south for about 5 kilometers and arrived at an area opposite Xidan Street called Erlong Road.

Chen Qi found an alley, saw Li Mingfu at the intersection, and greeted, "Uncle Li!"

"Well, you came on time! Come on, let's take a look."

The two pushed the cart and walked side by side. He looked around and said, "This seems to be the territory of the Ministry of Education. Do you have anything to do with it?"

"No, no, I just grew up on Erlong Road."

Li Mingfu's answer was vague. He was the administrative boss assigned by the superiors. He never said what he did before, so he was quite mysterious.

The two passed by the Ministry of Education dormitory, turned inside, entered an alley, and stopped. This is a large courtyard, with a sign hanging at the door that says: Erlong Road Street Arts and Crafts Factory!

An aunt came out from inside and said with a smile: "Lao Li, you are still so punctual!"

Li Mingfu laughed and introduced him: "This is Comrade Chen Qi, and this is a street cadre. You can just call me Aunt Zhao!"

"Aunt Zhao!"

Chen Qi laughed, the street cadre and the aunt were a perfect match.

The three of them walked in and passed a room. Chen Qi took a look at it. Several old masters were teaching some young people how to paint colored eggs and making clay figurines. He asked, "Are our handicrafts exported?"

"You are indeed young and promising, you can tell at a glance!"

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "In the first two years, we called for the resettlement of unemployed young people, so our street found some retired masters to build this factory, specializing in making Easter eggs and clay sculptures. Last year, we earned more than 100,000 US dollars in foreign exchange!"

“Gee, that’s amazing!”

Chen Qi was in awe. A hundred thousand dollars may not seem like much, but the cost is small and exports are stable. It's not like making a movie.

"It stands to reason that we are not short of money, but since Lao Li has found me, I have to help him no matter what."

The three of them turned left and right, passed through a moon gate, and entered a single courtyard. There were more than a dozen shabby houses, large and small. Aunt Zhao said: "This year we have attracted a group of unemployed young people. Some of them really don't have a house." They don’t even have a home, so we thought about renovating the yard and giving them a place to live first.

Since you also need a house, I will tell you openly that you are responsible for the repairs and you will get half of the house, even if you rent it. "

"Let's discuss it first, please wait a moment."

Chen Qi called Li Mingfu, went to a secluded place, and asked, "Will there be any problems? I repaired the house and they don't admit it?"

"What you said is a slap in my face. I can take responsibility for what I found!"

"How long should we rent it for? Have you secured the land?"

"I have contacted all parties, and I even visited some people during the Spring Festival. However, the land is also tight now and it is very difficult, but..."

Li Mingfu changed his voice and said: "I found a wonderful place that we have all ignored, but it is actually right in front of us!"

"Where?"

"Beiying Film Studio!"

"There is no space left in Beijing Film Studio?" Chen Qi was surprised.

"Tsk!"

Li Mingfu was beaming and said excitedly: "I've searched all over the Beijing Film Studio. It seems there is no open space, but in fact there is a lot of potential. For example, go west through the gate. There is a fruit tree garden over there. If you level it, you can build a building." !”

"Wait a minute, let me sort it out!"

Chen Qi thought about the layout of the Beijing Film Studio. The gate faces west. Yes, there is a fruit tree garden, but in my impression, there are no buildings there. What did I do next?

He thought for a moment, then clapped his hands, holy shit! Rongning Mansion!

When the TV series version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" was being filmed, Beijing Film Studio director Xie Tieli also wanted to film a movie version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", so he spent 3 million to build the Rongning Mansion. After filming, it was opened to the public, and many crews came here to shoot scenes.

At that time, Beijing Film Studio also built a film and television tourism city, hoping to make some money from tourists. Unfortunately, it could not withstand the torrent of history, and was eventually merged into China Film Studio.

"If we build a building, there may be no Rongning Mansion..."

Chen Qi thought about it. In his opinion, Beijing Film Studio's filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" was a complete sinkhole. A total of 8 episodes were filmed and 12 million were spent. He could not get back the money at all, and the influence was far less than the TV series version.

"What's the point of filming Dream of Red Mansions with 12 million? With this kind of money, we can directly build a film and television city!"

As the boss of Beiying Film Factory, he still has feelings for the factory, not to mention the Wang Yang factor. His mind changed and he immediately said: "Sure! Just that piece of land! I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Don't worry! Then let's rent this yard for three years?"

"OK!"

After the two of them had finished their research, they came back and said to Aunt Zhao: "I can certainly trust the place that Uncle Li found. To be honest, our unit is planning to build a dormitory building, so renting this yard is a temporary solution.

I promise you, I will never stay here and leave. You are also a loyal elder. Don't break the contract and drive people away. "

"Look what you said, Lao Li will be your guarantee, no problem!"

It was immediately decided that Dongchang would be responsible for the repairs and would then get 7 rooms for a period of three years.

There are 7 rooms, which can accommodate 14 people if they are loose and 28 if they are squeezed in. Now he can recruit people again.

Li Mingfu worked really hard to live in a building with a toilet as soon as possible. It was agreed that Chen Qi would leave first. Looking back, he and Aunt Zhao were having a lively chat. It seemed that it was already a romantic story.

Went back the same day, stayed another night, and set off the next day.
