Chapter 201

Xu Jingxing was taken aback when he heard Mr. Ding's words, and asked, "You mean...?"

"It's like this. Recently, a beer company in our province will hold an ancient building construction competition. The participating teams can submit their works within two years, and then they will invite top domestic scholars and experts to select one, two or three. It is said that there is a cooperation with a certain TV station, and it will be recorded as a program to be broadcast in the prime time, if it can get the top three, will you worry about not being famous?"

Xu Jingxing was stunned for a moment, "Can this also be on TV?"

"Look at what you said, why can't you be on TV? Anyway, the TV station has already collected enough advertising fees, and doesn't it just conform to the country's initiative to inherit and carry forward traditional culture?" Mr. Ding laughed.

"But, but," Xu Jingxing scratched his head for a long time, "but, what does this have to do with me? They are holding an ancient building construction competition." Speaking of this, he suddenly realized, "Are you planning to let me and others Participate in a team? Give full play to my carving expertise on ancient architectural components?"

"Yes, and no," Old Man Ding nodded and shook his head with a smile.

"Why is it a law? And why is it not a law?" Xu Jingxing became interested. If what the old man said was true, then he would really have a chance to show his face. Let alone whether he can win an award, at least he can officially Get in touch with professionals in the industry. If you can get acquainted with each other, it will be convenient for you to do some things in the future.

Old Mr. Ding didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I said yes, it means that you can really give full play to your expertise in the carving of ancient architectural components, because your carving skills are really nothing to be picky about. Carving building components is even a bit wasteful, if you participate, those components will definitely add a lot of color to the building.”

"Isn't that the law?" Xu Jingxing hurriedly asked.

"No, hey, I didn't ask you to form a team with others, but with me," Mr. Ding pointed to himself with a smile.

"With you?"

"Why, not happy?"

"No, no, what I mean is, what I mean is that you are highly respected and should be awarded. For an old man like you to participate in the competition, there is almost no need to judge for the award. You must be one of them," Xu Jingxing explained quickly, but This is only half of what he said, and the face is just like what he said, Mr. Ding's old qualifications to participate in the competition, so the judges are embarrassed not to give an award?

The part that was not mentioned meant that an old man like Mr. Ding took him, a junior, to form a team. To put it mildly, it was to form a team.If it's something else, he doesn't mind being supported by the old seniors, but it's not a good reputation to follow the old seniors in the competition, even if he wins the prize, others will only laugh at him for hugging the old man's thigh.

So he was still thinking about getting involved in this kind of competition, but after listening to Mr. Ding's suggestion, he retreated instead, wanting to prove that he has a lot of opportunities, and there is no need to put on a "thigh hug" for himself early hat of.

However, only Xu Jingxing Anxin and Nannan here are juniors, and the rest are veterans who have experienced many hardships. Not to mention how shrewd they are, their experience is there, and once they heard what he said, they could guess what he was thinking , but they didn't say anything, especially Mr. Zhu and Mr. Ding looked at each other and smiled.

Old Mr. Ding laughed, and then continued: "I'm a man of high morals and prestige, I'm just a bit of a false name in our peninsula area, and the other is how old I am, that's all, and the contestants in this competition are old men Most of them, I know a few older than me. As for the judges, they are even more remarkable. All of them are national treasures, and the leader is Mr. Lian Yunhai, an academician of the Academy of Sciences. He is a student of Mr. Liang. His accomplishments in architecture are second to none in China.”

"In front of these evaluations, I am a junior, and I am a junior who can't speak in front of others. I can't be regarded as a veteran, let alone a trophy. You think this competition is as shady as ordinary draft competitions. If something like that really happened, old Mr. Lian Yunhai would beat them to death with a cane!"

After saying this, Mr. Ding looked at Xu Jingxing with piercing eyes, "How is it? Don't worry?"

Xu Jingxing was really excited, "You mean, that old Mr. Lian Yunhai who is known as a national treasure?"

"Of course, is there a second Mr. Lian Yunhai in our country?"

"No, no, I, I can't believe that the old man will come forward to participate in such an event at such an old age," Xu Jingxing quickly explained, and he was a little incoherent in his excitement, because the old Mr. Lian Yunhai is really a character, no , is a genius-like figure, and in his heart, is a myth-like figure.

How should I put it, this old gentleman was born in a poor family, but he is extremely studious and talented. The old gentleman born in the 20s was sold to a theater when he was young. He wandered with the troupe since he was a child. With extraordinary talent, he soon became the pillar of the troupe.

However, the old man was unwilling to be a singer all his life, and had been teaching himself the skills of calligraphy and painting, and because of an accidental opportunity, he met the famous Zhang Daqian, and with Zhang Daqian's guidance, his attainments in calligraphy and painting improved by leaps and bounds, but the situation was chaotic at that time , not many people paid attention to him, a pawn in his early twenties.

After liberation, he was admitted to Tsinghua University at his own expense, majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, but because of an accidental opportunity, he listened to Mr. Liang's class, and since then he has also majored in architecture, and was quickly appreciated by Mr. Liang. famous.

Later, due to the needs of the country, the old man had to temporarily break up with his favorite ancient architecture research, and devoted himself to the industry of building the country, and went abroad to study at his own expense, studying electromechanical, mechanical manufacturing, automatic control and even computer, and obtained a lot of money. Achievements, after returning to China, he has repeatedly undertaken heavy scientific research tasks, all of which have achieved overall success, and made extraordinary achievements in the country's industry and military.

But that’s not enough. In the most chaotic era, when Mr. Liang was criticized, he stood up and used his influence in the military industry and scientific research units to keep Mr. Liang safe. When the architectural materials collected and accumulated by Mr. Liang were burned, a part of them was preserved as much as possible.

By the 90s, the old man had retired, but he was not idle. He traveled around the country with his wife, who was also in his 60s, and registered and photographed most of the ancient buildings in the country one by one, and classified them into categories. Explained, commented, researched, and later participated in a number of ancient building restoration works. Not only did he not charge money, but he also used his savings to set up the Ancient Building Protection Foundation.
