Hello 1983

  Chapter 484 Can't learn, can't learn anything

  On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu finally returned to Heihe.

  Although the rain has passed in terms of solar terms, it is still freezing and snowy here.

   Two people left the airport and waved for a taxi, which was a Lada.

  While passing through the urban area, I saw various lanterns on both sides of the street. The driver said that there will be lantern festivals during the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth days.

  Driving all the way to the warehouse base by the river, at the gate, Liu Qingshan also saw two ice lanterns poked on both sides of the gate. Looking at the shape, one is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the other is a winding dragon lantern.

   It matches the signboard of Longteng Trading Company above.

  It was broad daylight, and the effect of the ice lantern could not be seen, so the two entered the gate first.

  I thought they must be the first ones to come back, because I said during the holidays years ago that work will not start until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

   As a result, I went into the room and took a look, well, they were all there, and it seemed that the two of them were missing.

   "You guys are too impatient!"

  Liu Qingshan went up and lightly thumped everyone on the shoulders one by one.

  Everyone is laughing and joking, and everyone is full of energy. The New Year is really a bit new.

  Of course I was happy. After returning home, I handed over the money to my family. Even the laughter during the Chinese New Year was much more than in previous years.

  Especially the old squad leader who came from the countryside, they have never seen so much money at home.

   Tens of thousands of dollars will completely change their lives.

  Even Xiao Wu and Yu Guangming were well praised when they handed over 200,000 passbooks to the elders in the family.

   These guys are usually trained, but this time they are completely proud.

  Especially when I told my family that this year I will invest in the construction of a nursing home in Jiapigou, as well as cooperate in the mineral water business, my family is even more supportive.

  A big family like them has already arranged for the future of their core children. Whether in the military or in politics, they all have a clear development orientation.

  Only Xiao Wu and the others are useless. They were originally in the family, but they have already belonged to the abandoned objects.

   Unexpectedly, these **** suddenly became successful, and they were able to help the family generate income. This is really a surprise.

  But the parents of each family are also clear in their hearts: it's not that these brats have suddenly become better, but that they followed the right people.

  Perhaps the old saying is true: the bird follows the phoenix and soars high.

  This also made Liu Qingshan, a grassroots youth, quickly enter the sight of the elders of these families.

   It’s still a bit early to say it’s a solicitation, and it’s still in the stage of close attention.

  Because of this, Xiao Wu and the others became even more enthusiastic, so they got together to discuss, and they should come back here as soon as possible.

  They are not stupid, they know that the better they do here, the more they can improve their status in the family.

  Everyone said hello and asked about the situation of the Chinese New Year, and then listened to Li Tieniu's talk.

   After finishing speaking, Li Tieniu waved his arms vigorously: "If you have money, you have to spend it like this, and that's fun!"

  No one laughed at him for burning the buns, but they all looked at him with admiration.

  Xiao Wu even patted Li Tieniu on the shoulder vigorously: "Tie Niu, if you don't have enough money in the future, you can ask us for it, and whoever doesn't give it to you will be your grandson!"

  Li Tieniu grinned widely, and smiled foolishly: "There is my little senior brother, he leads me to make money, and he must not spend it all."

  Everyone thought about it carefully, and it really made sense, so they all laughed too.

  Having confidence in yourself is of course a good thing, and Liu Qingshan is also happy in his heart.

   Moreover, he also felt that after Li Tieniu finished speaking, there seemed to be some kind of change in everyone.

   It’s a little unclear what it is, but it’s obvious that this group of people is more united.

  Liu Qingshan knows very well that a company cannot be maintained only by systems and interests, so those companies in future generations will work hard to build their own corporate culture.

  The people in Longteng Company value love and righteousness, perhaps this is their characteristic.

  Next, Zhang Long and Hou San talked about the situation here.

  During the Chinese New Year, all businesses were shut down, so there was basically nothing serious here.

  The only major event was renting a small two-story building not far from Longteng Hotel as the residence of Longteng Trading Company.

  I originally wanted to buy it directly, but the real estate is owned by a state-owned unit, so they can't sell it, they can only rent it.

  According to the principles stipulated by Liu Qingshan, the rent was directly for ten years.

  Because of the rise of border trade, the prices of houses in the city have risen a bit. Even so, the annual rent is only 1,000 yuan, which is really cheap for Long Teng.

  Speaking of this matter, Liu Qingshan reminded everyone:

   "We will have more and more money in our hands in the future. Don't put it all in the bank. Make some investments appropriately to preserve or appreciate its value."

   Everyone must listen to what Liu Qingshan said, and they all nodded.

   Then Xiao Wu asked: "Qingshan, then you have to talk about how to invest and where to invest?"

  Beside him, Yu Guangming stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Qingshan: "Let's learn what we have."

   "Do you have a sample to learn from?"

  Xiao Wu muttered, frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head: "I can't learn it, I can't learn anything."

  Then he snapped his fingers and counted the same number: "Qingshan can write books to earn manuscript fees, Tie Niu said just now, 500,000 pounds, and directly use it to purchase mineral water production lines."

   "My head hurts after reading, and I can't learn."

   "Qingshan can do business with foreigners, selling Songjiang green rice and morel mushrooms abroad, but I don't know a foreign language, so I can't learn it."

   "Aoyama..."

   "Okay, okay, why are you so stupid." Ma Laosan waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Wu:

   "Who told you to learn these things? None of us can learn them. I think Qingshan has built two houses in the capital, one big and one small. Our country is developing very fast now. Does the house price increase?"

  The last sentence is of course for Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan also nodded: "That's for sure. In terms of real estate, our Longteng Company will definitely not engage in that stuff. It's boring to make money from ordinary people in China. If you have the ability, you can take money from foreigners."

   "However, in order not to spend a high price to buy a house in the future, it is still possible to buy a few houses by myself."

  Real estate industry, Liu Qingshan is not going to get involved, but this does not prevent him from mentioning his own people.

  Xiao Wu then nodded: "Understood, Qingshan, what do you mean, we all buy two sets of courtyard houses?"

   "How can there be so many courtyard houses?" After Liu Qingshan finished speaking, he pondered again. Given Xiao Wu's family background, it is relatively easy to buy a courtyard house.

  The old squad leader and the others were also in high spirits, and took their passbooks home during the Chinese New Year, which made their parents and elders very happy.

  But after being happy, I started to worry: how to spend this money?

  For farmers who are used to being poor, it seems that there is really not much money to spend.

   Now that I heard about buying a house, Qingshan must listen.

  So the old squad leader asked: "Mr. Liu, can I buy a house in my hometown county?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded: "It's not impossible, but the bigger the city, the more room for house appreciation."

  Everyone understood it this time, so they surrounded Xiao Wu and the others with a smile: Of course the capital is a big city, and you have to rely on these brothers to buy a house.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hands when he saw it: "Don't worry about this matter, take your time, let's talk about the business first, Xiao Wu, have you heard the news, I heard that many people want to come here to make a fortune?"

  As soon as he mentioned this, Xiao Wu became furious: "Xie Lao San and those guys are just a group of flies, and they sting upwards when they smell it."

  Yu Guangming glared at him: "It's not because you show off in front of others,"

  Xiao Wu argued: "I want to anger those grandchildren."

  Liu Qingshan can also guess roughly, they must have met during the Chinese New Year, Xiao Wu and the others originally looked down on Xie Lao San and his group, and since they are flourishing here, they will inevitably run on each other.

   To put it bluntly, it was two groups of children who looked at each other in a quarrel.

  Xie Laosan and his group couldn't have come here just because of Xiao Wu's few words. Obviously, they had already planned.

  So he said calmly: "As the saying goes, when soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, we have already taken the lead, don't worry, this is not the fault of Brother Wu, what should come will always come."

   "However, we can't underestimate anyone. What does that sentence mean? We must despise the enemy strategically, and we must pay attention to the enemy tactically."

  Everyone nodded in unison: This makes sense.

  After unifying their thoughts, it was almost time to finish eating, and Aunt Xu and the others had already come back to cook for everyone.

   Years ago, Liu Qingshan also gave Aunt Xu 10,000 yuan, but she was so frightened that she dared not take so much.

  It’s cooking, cleaning, more than 500 yuan a year.

  Liu Qingshan explained to her with a smile: "You take it, brother Qiang from my country is about to start a family, and he needs money."

  Aunt Xu also understood: the money is actually not for her and her daughter, but for her son.

   It's just that if you give the money directly to Xu Guoqiang, he will definitely not accept it, and it doesn't conform to the current atmosphere, so I just transferred it from her.

  Aunt Xu then accepted the money: "Mr. Liu, then thank you, friends like Guoqiang are all good."

   After returning home, he showed the money to his son. Xu Guoqiang was silent for a while, and then asked his mother to put it away. He knew that even if he returned it, Liu Qingshan would definitely not accept it.

   Then please help as much as possible in the future.

  So after the new year, Mrs. Xu brought her daughter here again, and worked even harder. She really regarded these young men as her own children.

  Liu Qingshan and the others came back this time, and they also brought a lot of vegetables, and they were all green vegetables. There is no way, because in winter here, there is really no green.

   There are more than a dozen bundles of leeks, more than a dozen bundles of celery, cucumbers, eggplants, coriander, etc. After two days on the road, they will be a little wilted.

   After handing over all the vegetables to Mrs. Xu, the old lady was very happy: "These are all rare things, more expensive than meat, and there is no place to buy them if you have money."

  So I made a few dishes: stir-fried leeks with shredded potatoes, fried vermicelli with celery, and a large pot of cold vegetables.

  As for the remaining vegetables, put them all in the potato cellar, and they will be fine for a week.

  During the Chinese New Year, everyone is really a bit tired of eating big fish and meat, and these small dishes are just right for your appetite.

   It was the first time we got together after a year. If you can drink, of course you can't avoid drinking some. Liu Qingshan also drank two cups symbolically.

  He can drink well, but he is never greedy.

   After dinner, it was getting dark outside, so everyone went to the city to watch the lantern show.

   In these two days, I can rest and relax. After the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the border trade will restart, and I will be busy again.

  Leave people to guard. Anyway, for the three-day lantern show, you can go in shifts.

  Unexpectedly, Ma Laosan, who always likes to join in the fun, waved his hand and said, "Go and play, I will stay at the warehouse and watch. Firecrackers are the most likely to cause fires during the festival."

   As for the guards, there are Zhang Long and Li Tie and the others, and this is not in line with Ma Changzhan's style?

   Then, I saw him take out a book and read it with great interest.

   "Third brother, where did you get the manuscript again?"

  Xiao Wu went up abruptly and snatched it down. He thought that Ma Laosan was reading that kind of book.

   As a result, I looked at the cover, but there was a painting of a large ship that was about to sink, and I muttered: "Titanic, what book is this?"

   Ma Laosan hastily went up to **** it: "The new publication, young people are fascinated by it."

  Xiao Wu twitched her lips: "What's so good about foreigners' books? If you want to read them, you have to read Journey to the West."

   After finishing speaking, he was still humming: "Dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet..."

   "It's a TV series, okay? Can you understand the original work?" Ma Laosan couldn't help but stab Xiao Wu.

   If you want to talk about what is the most popular thing during the Chinese New Year this year, it is undoubtedly the broadcast of the TV series Journey to the West, which makes people all over the country mesmerized.

  As soon as the title song Yungong Xun sounds, all adults and children are immediately pulled in front of the TV.

  It wasn't until the ending song Dare Ask Where the Road finished singing that the kids hurriedly hugged their stomachs and went to pee.

  Xiao Wu was a little unconvinced by what he said: "That's better than your xenophobia."

   "Hey, you're wrong this time, one of the two authors of this book is from China." Ma Laosan pointed to the name on the cover:

   "The Victor in the front is marked as a Frenchman, and the Mountain in the back is our own!"

  Xiao Wu muttered again: "Mounting, what a bad name, it still smells like a foreign country, I guess this guy is also a xenophobia."

Li Xuemei next to    laughed twice: "Little Brother, Mountain Mountain means mountain, high mountain or big mountain in English."

  Xiao Wu scratched the back of his head, then glanced at Liu Qingshan: "Is it the mountain of Qingshan?"

  Liu Qingshan blinked, then nodded.

  When Tan Yong took this book to publish, he also asked Liu Qingshan how to sign it.

   Liu Qingshan didn't want to be a writer, so he took the English name "Mounting" casually.

   Unexpectedly, after publication, this book was immediately sought after by young people.

  Li Xuemei has finished reading this book, and she yearns for the love story in it, so she naturally loves the author:

   "I think, this Mr. Mountain must be a man as majestic as a mountain to write such an epic work."

  Other of the people in the room, except Liu Qingshan pretending to be confused, Li Tieniu was the only one who knew the details.

  He finally couldn't help it anymore, he yelled, "Do you know who this Mountain is?"

  Who is it? Everyone looked at him in unison.

  Just as Li Tieniu was about to break the news, he saw the little brother glaring at him, apparently not allowing him to speak out.

  But the words got to the point of his mouth, and he couldn't take it back, so he just slipped out: "Mountain is the green hill!"

  Xiao Wu pouted: "It's up to you to say, we all know that Mountain means the mountain of Qingshan."

  Li Tieniu squinted his big eyes: I really didn’t mean that.

   Then he was dragged out of the house by Liu Qingshan: "Let's go, let's go to watch the lanterns."
