1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 613 The end of the church meeting, the gloom of New Year's Day
After entering the greenhouse, Luo Tao instantly became the protagonist, and everyone followed him.

Some pleasantries are inevitable.

After that, just over an hour left in the morning passed away while drinking tea and chatting.

Lunch is all taken care of by Master Hong from Xichang House in Houhai and delivered by a dedicated person.

In the past few years, everyone has known that the Winter Solstice Hall is a big event and cannot be taken lightly.On this day, I would rather not open the door for business, but still take care of the food and drink of everyone invited here in Lanyuan.

The sumptuousness of the luncheon cannot be described in one sentence or two. In short, it is impossible to lose the status, and the presentation of the banquet is also the same.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, took a short rest, and drank tea to soothe their throats.

At around two o'clock Beijing time, the Lanyuan Hall meeting officially began.

There are lots of good shows, and this year for the first time, Luo Tao also sang a few verses with everyone. Fortunately, Luo Tao has a good voice, and he also listens to and practices a lot. In all fairness, his singing in this show is pretty good.

A senior opera performer said: If Mr. Luo focuses on Peking Opera, he will definitely become famous in the four or nine cities in just a few years, and it is not impossible for him to become a famous performer in the future.

Naturally, Luo Tao did not dare to accept such flattery.

He doesn't know how much he weighs, and even if he becomes a famous Peking Opera master, his dream is to become a famous fan, and he won't admit it even to death.

This is not humility, it is his own self-awareness.

Of course, he also knew the reason why these people were touting him, but they just wanted to get him to join the group. This was a rough statement.

As for why they wanted Luo Tao to join them?It may be that they have noticed the changes in the market and understand that the trend is irreversible, and Peking Opera may inevitably end up involved in it in the future.

They are placing bets on Luo Tao in advance, hoping that when that day comes, Luo Tao can help Peking Opera.

After the reform, Peking Opera also experienced a period of prosperity.But compared with the changes in society in recent years, discerning people can also see that Peking Opera has lost its former style.

It's even going downhill. I can see it clearly, but I can't say it out loud because no one in Liyuan is willing to admit it.

The above is all Luo Tao's own conjecture. As for whether this is the case, Luo Tao is not sure. The reason is that he really can't think of anyone in the Beijing opera world who has such a vision?
Perhaps, they simply follow the old-fashioned idea of ​​​​an old artist. Artists follow gentlemen. Luo Tao has money and they have art. They each get what they need and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

In any case, Luo Tao can be regarded as half of Liyuan people now. In the future, the Beijing opera industry will go downhill in the tide of the market, so he will stretch out his hand and help him no matter what.

Even if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you should also look at the Buddha’s face. After all, something that has been around for hundreds of years cannot just be watched and disappear. You must also support it when necessary.

Of course, when the time comes, don’t label him as the so-called saver of traditional Chinese culture.He will absolutely ignore anyone who wants to put this label on him.

When some people talk about Chinese traditional culture, they open and close their mouths and talk about Peking Opera and cross talk. To put it bluntly, these people are really big-faced.

The roast ducks at Biianfang are older than their years.

Compared with the authentic culture handed down by the Chinese ancestors for 5000 years, they are nothing more than a toy.

Even if all of today's folk arts are tied together, and they were born in Liyuan in the heyday of Tang Dynasty, they cannot represent Chinese culture.

There must be a reason why some people have such a blind belief, and it probably has something to do with the promotion of Mandarin.

Closer to home.

No matter what their ideas are, Luo Tao will also help them in the future. After all, they are still somewhat capable.

During the dinner, Xiao Shiyue and her sister had a great time playing with the children. It seemed that they had already become one with them.

As for Shenzhi, who is deeply in the quagmire of love, he also finds some suitable reasons to approach the person he likes proactively from time to time.

As night falls, the bright moon rises into the sky, and the northwest wind blows from the northwest prairie.

The [-] Lanyuan Winter Solstice Church Party has officially come to an end.

"Do you think the two of them can make it?"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask? They just met today.

Now it's just Shenzhi's wishful thinking. You saw at the meeting that the girl didn't seem to have any interest in him other than the friendship of a fellow villager. "

Luo Tao was still paying close attention to him at the meeting, sneaking a few glances from time to time.

After looking at it, I also saw some clues and knew that Shenzhi's choice was the little girl Xia Zijun from his hometown.

For the student's life-long event, the couple worried a lot and coaxed Mr. Pan to ask Mr. Mei about the girl's specific situation.

Mr. Mei is very easy to talk to, he tells everything he knows, and tells everything he knows.

Xia Zijun, female, from Pingjiang, born in [-]... was a Kunqu opera actor at the Pingjiang Kunqu Opera Academy, and is now a Tsing Yi actor at the Peking Opera Theater in Beijing.

This person's net worth is quite innocent, so he is a suitable match for Shen Zhi.

"No, I think that girl's attitude towards Shen Zhi is different, maybe that's what she means?

In my opinion, as long as Shen Zhi puts more thought into this matter, there will definitely be something for them both. "

Seeing that she was now acting like a matchmaker, Luo Tao looked at her intently, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

She also noticed Luo Tao's strangeness, "What are you doing, am I wrong?"

He smiled and said: "You're right, very right. Isn't that right? I feel more and more that you are the same type of person as Aunt Sun in the alley. Either you talk nonsense or you like to work with matchmakers.

You have the potential to be a matchmaker. "

Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment, then slapped Luo Tao.

silent night...

Taking advantage of some free time before the new year, Luo Tao, Zhu Lin and Xiao Yatou's family of three visited several units in Xichang, the capital, in three days to wish everyone a happy new year in advance.

After an inspection, he also made an evaluation of the work of various units under Xichang over the past year.

The results are real and these things cannot be faked.

Of course, praise should be given to them. At the annual summary meeting in Xichang, everyone's work this year was affirmed.

After that, three outstanding units were selected from among the many units in Xichang. Of course, one cannot favor one over the other, and several other units tied for second place.

All employees of these three outstanding units were rewarded. Starting from January [-]st next year, the basic salary of employees in these three companies will increase by five yuan per person per month, and the basic salary of other employees will increase by two yuan per person per month.

Since then, the basic salary of ordinary employees under Xichang has reached a minimum of 75 yuan per month (excluding overtime pay), and a maximum of more than 110 yuan.

Due to the different economic situations between the north and the south, the wages of employees in the south are generally higher than those in the north. There is no way to avoid such different wages. Xichang is not exempt from this general trend.

At the same time, one thing was also notified to all senior executives, that is, this year's year-end bonus will be reduced. As for how much?Luo Tao didn't say this clearly at the meeting.This matter cannot be explained clearly now. Xichang is definitely the first private enterprise in China to issue year-end bonuses to employees. In previous years, the number of year-end bonuses depends on the profit of the year and Luo Tao's own mood.

The year-end bonus in Xichang has never been fixed. Is it given out every year?Or is this number issued every year?

Without a nationwide layout and strategic tasks completed, the year-end bonus cannot be fixed.

This year, Xichang's units have developed very well, but they have also spent a lot of money.

Not canceling the year-end bonus benefit this year is Xichang's greatest love for its employees.

Everyone else has no objections, but some people have a lot of ideas about the year-end bonus.

For these people, Luo Tao would not spoil them, and of course he would not fire them, but would change their jobs and working environment.

They became honest instantly, and no one has any objections to the matter since then.

After this incident, Luo Tao deeply understood what Dou Mien and Shengmiqiu meant.It was also after this incident that Luo Tao also began to consider whether to reformulate employee benefits in Xichang.

Luo Tao struggled with this matter for a long time. For three days and nights, he thought about it repeatedly, weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided that a change was necessary.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the blink of an eye, the melody of time came to New Year's Day, [-], the beginning of the year.

"We have encountered unprecedented serious problems, the most prominent of which are obvious inflation and excessive price increases in economic life... Certain negative and decadent phenomena in society are also shocking."

Although the higher authorities adopted tough macroeconomic tightening long after the problem was discovered... and the overheated economy began to cool down, the imbalance of social mentality caused by inflation and failure did not subside quickly.

Once the cage of economic thought is opened, it is impossible to close it again.

At the end of last year, a new oil field with storage capacity of hundreds of millions of tons was discovered in the Shengli Oil Field, which could not be diluted. At this time, there is a gloomy and tense atmosphere throughout the country.

A new year, a new beginning. After New Year's Day, Luo Tao became busy again. On one hand, he had to deal with his own company's affairs, and on the other hand, he had to participate in some meetings above.

He is away from home almost every day. Fortunately, he is young now, in good health, and Zhu Lin takes good care of him, so he can still handle such a workload.

"You don't want your life. What time is it and you still haven't rested?" Zhu Lin, sleepy-eyed and wearing pajamas, held the study door and whispered in a low voice.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm going to bed soon, why are you here again?"

Luo Tao didn't even raise his head, his eyes were still on the document, and the pen in his hand was sketching on it.

"You said this an hour ago." She gave Luo Tao a helpless look.

"Really?" He adjusted his glasses, turned his face and looked up at the clock on the door.

"Oh, it's so late!"

Luo Tao has suffered from slight myopia due to excessive use of his eyes over the years, and the degree is not very high. People and animals can still be separated from each other 100 meters away.

You can choose not to wear it at ordinary times, but you have to wear it when working at night.

Unexpectedly, the hour hand reached 23 o'clock.

Looking at the documents, there were still many things he had not finished studying, and he murmured to himself: "Time waits for no one."

"You know it's late, but I just don't understand. Why are you working so hard for someone who has no power? Is there any work that can't be done tomorrow? It has to be done tonight?"

"Okay, okay, I still have a few pages to finish. I'll go and rest after reading it. Don't wait for me. Go and rest early."

Zhu Lin's concern was good and was for the sake of Luo Tao's health, but it also depends on the situation.At this time, the documents in Luo Tao's hand were not about ordinary things, they were all major events, and they could not be ignored.

He couldn't directly apply his wife's care, so he had to persuade her to rest first.

After hearing this, Zhu Lin stared at him without saying anything, with a sullen look on his face.

Seeing this, Luo Tao could only take off his glasses, close the cap of his pen, put all his hands on the document, stood up, walked to her, and put his arm around her shoulders.

He smiled and said, "I'll just let you go and rest. Is that okay?"

"Hmph!" The kid thinks you know the truth.

"I'm really afraid of you. I roll my eyes whenever I disagree with you. If you don't know, you thought I married a seven-star swordfish spirit."

Zhu Lin had never heard of the Seven-Star Swordfish, but when combined with the context, she knew that the Seven-Star Swordfish was not a good word.

First, he gouged out Luo Tao, and then took advantage of Luo Tao's surprise and struck him with an elbow.

"pain."

In the long dark night, there is not only endless loneliness, but also countless thoughts.

The next day, under the urging of Zhu Lin, the meat alarm clock, Luo Tao finally crawled out of the bed that was as gentle as his first love.

Under the mingling of snowflakes and cold wind, Luo Tao shivered and performed a lightning-fast washing exercise in the bathroom.

The breakfast this winter is quite rich. In addition to the usual foods such as soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and fried bean juice, there are also a few more dishes of off-season vegetables than in previous winters.

“It’s really not easy to be able to eat such fresh vegetables in this winter. I would never have thought of it before.

I heard your grandma say before that in old age, only those rich and powerful people like Prince Baylor can eat a few mouthfuls of fresh vegetables in winter. …”

My mother, Su Guilan, was very moved and even quoted the past to praise the present.However, what she said was right. In the past, eating fresh vegetables in winter was a treatment only those privileged families could enjoy.

Things are different now, with good policies and good science and technology. Starting this year, most ordinary residents in the capital will also be able to eat off-season vegetables produced by Xichang Vegetable Basket.

It's a bit expensive, but it's still acceptable to buy some occasionally as a dental gift.

As for the price of off-season vegetables in the market, Luo Tao has no control over this matter. He can only rely on his conscience and sell to the farmer's market at the above price.

As for the price at which they resell it to the common people, he has no control over that.

"Mom, where are you now? The good days are yet to come..."

The old lady was interested, so Luo Tao chatted with her more.
