Chapter 544 The Third Mao Dun Literature Award(1/3)
Tao Yushu appeared on "Xinwen Lianbo" on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was a one-person interview. The whole family was happy and excited.
Lin Erchun was also excited, but he was different. He was made angry by Lin Chaoyang.
He now dislikes Lin Chaoyang, not because he really dislikes his son, but because of the common secular mentality of Chinese parents.
Thinking back to when Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu got married, Lin Erchun felt in his heart that his son had really brought home a fairy daughter from heaven.
The daughter-in-law also brought her son to Beijing to arrange a job. This is like smoke rising from the ancestral grave!
He had one wish at that time: he hoped that Tao Yushu would be blind for a few more years, but he would never give up his son.
After all, this kid is not good at anything, he doesn't eat enough, and he doesn't even know how to hold the soy sauce bottle when it falls over.
Then, suddenly one day, someone told him that his son had become a writer!
Lin Erchun was doubtful. How could he not know about his son? How could he be a writer without even going to high school?
Later, the development of things gradually broke his cognition, and his son not only became a writer, but also a nationally famous writer.
Lin Erchun now felt confident. It was enough for a nationally famous writer to have his daughter-in-law, a college student from Yanjing.
Of course, my son is not without his shortcomings.
In terms of family background, my daughter-in-law's family is stronger and she has a well-educated family. Although my family is a third-generation poor farmer, they have only produced a few such educated people.
Therefore, during that period of time, Lin Erchun felt particularly stable. His view on his son's marriage, to use a later word to describe it, was a marriage of equal strength.
Later, the young couple was about to run away to Xiangjiang.
Lin Erchun couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't help him because he was older than his father. He was not qualified to express any objections, so just go ahead.
Who would have thought that when I go to Xiangjiang, my daughter-in-law will be like a tiger entering the mountains and a dragon returning to the sea, and her business will become bigger and bigger.
More than a month ago, the news that his daughter-in-law had been ranked among the Hong Kong billionaires reached the mainland, and Lin Erchun's anxiety and worry reached its peak.
My son is indeed very good, but the gap between him and his daughter-in-law is getting wider and wider.
He is not worried about his son being kicked now, after all, the child is so old, but he is afraid of hearing other people's comments and rumors.
The daughter-in-law can make money so much, which makes the son incompetent!
The key is that this kid is also unsatisfactory, idle all day long, and doesn't know how to work hard to become stronger, which makes people anxious.
He now feels that if his son wants to be worthy of his daughter-in-law, he must win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The old father's worries and concerns had no impact on Lin Chaoyang. Instead, he changed the subject and paid attention to his old father's career.
In the past two years, Lin Erchun's career has made great progress. He has dozens of courtyard houses and more than 200 scattered houses scattered in various areas of Yanjing City.
The monthly rent alone is 20,000 yuan. Not only has he lost the financial support of Lin Chaoyang, but he also has seven or eight old men and women under him. The monthly salary alone is almost 1,000 yuan.
"~" Lin Chaoyang's expression looked a little dissatisfied, "Your development is still too slow. It's been a few years.
It’s just a small amount of real estate.”
"Isn't that enough? Do you know how many houses in Yanjing City cannot be sold? They are all husband's houses!" Lin Erchun glared.
Before the housing reform, the vast majority of residential buildings in Yanjing were public housing. There were private houses, but there were very few. Moreover, now there are more people and fewer houses, so there are even fewer people taking out food.
"You are now the biggest 'house bug' in Yanjing, and your business philosophy needs to be updated. Who says you have to buy a house? Can't you just rent a house to others?
There are so many people under your command, don’t let them idle.”
Lin Chaoyang came up with ideas like a dog-headed military strategist, fearing that his old father's retirement life would be too comfortable.
"There are just a few people, and they are too busy running around here and there every day," Lin Erchun said.
"You only have so much house on your hands. Just letting people run around all day long is a waste of time.
You divide them into areas, each person is responsible for an area, and open a small shop for them. The acquisition, sale, and leasing of this area are all handled by this small shop.
Listening to Lin Chaoyang's suggestion, Lin Erchun retorted: "How much will it cost if you are just a small person? Besides, how much work can one person or two people do?"
"This is called investment, and only with investment can there be returns. Think about it, you are now relying entirely on people, and the efficiency is too low.
When you open a store, isn't it equivalent to advertising? People in need will come to your door after seeing your face.
If there are more people and the business is well developed, won’t you also earn more?”
Lin Erchun was hesitant. He felt that what Lin Chaoyang said made sense, but he felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
He used to want to make some pocket money by collecting houses and renting houses to find something to do for himself. Otherwise, if he is really bored, if he continues like this, he will be busier than when he was the captain?
After listening to his thoughts, Lin Chaoyang said:
"You're on the left, you're on the left about this! Do you think this is just about making money? This is serving the people!
Think about it, how many people in Yanjing City are distressed every year because they can't get a house? How many foreigners come to Beijing to work and have nowhere to stay?
Is this possible when the common people don't even have a place to stand?
No! Absolutely not!
The government has to take care of all the big things, but who will take care of these small things? Why not have dedicated veteran comrades like you take care of them?
Serve the people, no matter how big or small.
We have to think about what the common people are thinking and worry about what the common people are anxious about. We can’t always think about ourselves!
Do you think this is true? Dad!"
Lin Erchun was afraid of value in everything. When he thought that his job as a house bug could be elevated to the level of serving the people, Lin Erchun felt his blood boiling.
I couldn't help but feel a heroic and majestic feeling in my heart.
"Nothing wrong!" Lin Erchun said solemnly, "Nowadays, not only are there people in various units who cannot get housing, but there are also self-employed people and those who work outside. These people really have housing difficulties."
"That's right! So if you do this, your merits are immeasurable!'
Lin Erchun was completely lost under Lin Chaoyang's repeated deceptions, and the backlight of his head was almost gone.
Seeing his old father's condition as if he had been injected with chicken blood, Lin Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction.
Sixty is the age to work hard. The old man was busy with other things, so he couldn't think of criticizing him.
The day after "Xinwen Lianbo" was broadcast, major domestic media outlets reported on Lin's massive investment in Pudong, and the news was overwhelming.
The development of Pudong requires a huge amount of funds, and everything is difficult at the beginning. With the emergence of Lin as a leader, the officials naturally have to vigorously promote it.
Suddenly, the name of Lin's Pictures was heard all over the country, and Tao Yushu, the company's helmsman, also became the focus of people's attention.
In the past, the news of the Hong Kong billionaire list was only spread to a small extent in China. Now, riding on this craze, many media have followed up and reported that Tao Yushu's title as the "richest woman in Hong Kong" has been completely confirmed.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year atmosphere was still strong on the streets of Yanjing, but Lin Erchun was as busy as a headless fly.
Lin Chaoyang stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched his old father go out to work hard, and he felt a sense of unbearability in his heart.
"Mom, you said he is so old, why doesn't he know how to take care of himself at home?"
Zhang Guiqin rolled his eyes, if you didn't fool him, how could he be like having chicken blood?
However, Zhang Guiqin feels that there is nothing wrong with this. People are afraid of being idle. Once idle, they will suffer from headaches and fever. After a few years of idleness, people will become useless.
Like herself, now she wears a red armband every day and monitors uncivilized behavior on the streets. Not to mention how fulfilling it is.
This morning, Lin Chaoyang received a call from Xie Jin from Shanghai.
"Chaoyang, you still have bad eyesight!" Xie Jin's voice was full of joy.
Lin Chaoyang recommended Tang Guoqiang to him at a banquet in Shanghai two years ago. Xie Jin contacted him the next day to catch up with the New Year. Tang Guoqiang arrived in Shanghai just the day before yesterday. When he dressed up as Zhuge Liang, Xie Jin was amazed.
.
"Eight feet long, with a face like a crown jade, wearing a silk scarf on his head, and a crane on his body, he looks like a fairy." For the first time, Xie Jin felt that the image in the book was so concrete, that he almost walked out of the book.
It comes out the same.
"With this Zhuge Liang, I feel confident!" Xie Jin said this to Lin Chaoyang at the end of the phone call.
Two days later, Tao Yushu returned directly from Shanghai to Xiangjiang after attending a press conference and a series of activities in Shanghai. There were too many things going on in the company and he could not leave for too long.
Tao Yumo had enough rest and returned to Xiangjiang with his two children.
Lin Chaoyang was the only one who didn't leave, not because he wanted to fish, but because he stayed because of the news sent by the Cultural Association.
The third Mao Dun Literary Award, which was originally supposed to be awarded in 1988, has been postponed due to various special reasons. It was finally announced in the first month of 1991.
