1979 Golden Age

As the saying goes, don’t show off your wealth.

But you have to show it when you should.

Chen Qi specially asked them to come, first to ensure safety, and second to let them see, especially Li Lianjie. The effect is remarkable. This kid has been silent since he left the bank.

“Brother Chen… Qi!”

Wang Qun is the same age as him, but his birthday is younger than his. He called him brother for the first time: “You are, you are, I mean your money…”

“Oh, I wrote a script for a Hong Kong company, the same company as the martial arts director, and I got the royalties.”

“You wrote a script for Hong Kong?!”

“So awesome!”

Ge Chunyan and Huang Qiuyan shouted at the same time, with a look of wow on their faces. Hong Kong is a paradise for mainlanders these days.

“What’s wrong with Hong Kong? I still feel that I’m losing money!”

Chen Qi was as thick-skinned as a heel, and he learned the style of the bosses in the future. If he earned 2 million less, he would lose 2 million.

Because what he sent over was more than just a script? And the settings that were drawn were equivalent to giving the entire film "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" to Yuan Heping - if the mainland and the leftists could not shoot it, he would not want to sell this film.

He looked at Li Lianjie and deliberately said: "Xiao Li, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Nothing."

Li Lianjie paused and said: "You are the millionaire mentioned in the newspaper, right?"

"I guess so, but this money won't last long. My parents are helping me find a house, and I want to buy a house myself... I'm happy today, everyone who sees it will get it, let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store!"

So several people went to Xidan again.

On the basement floor of Xidan Shopping Mall, there is a large Overseas Chinese Store.

Many people know about Friendship Store, and the two are different: Overseas Chinese Store receives Chinese, and Friendship Store receives foreigners and overseas Chinese.

Our Sihanouk is a frequent visitor to Friendship Store, and he is generous. When buying things, he doesn't want this or that, but he doesn't want this, but wants everything else.

There is also Imelda, the wife of Philippine President Marcos, who once bought 1,000 Jinhua hams in Shanghai. She searched all the food stores in the city to collect them and sent them directly to the airport.

This is all for precious foreign exchange!

At this moment, several people arrived at the Overseas Chinese Store. They did not have the overseas remittance voucher and were not allowed to enter at all. Chen Qi went in by himself.

He almost cried! Not to mention the dazzling array of goods, just the beautiful female salesperson in a small uniform made him feel a long-lost modern atmosphere. The life of a time traveler is hard, and the paper used to wipe his buttocks is scratching his buttocks.

"Hello, sir, welcome!"

"Food is here, daily necessities are over there, and there are handicrafts over there... There are also medicinal materials over there!"

"Okay, I'll take a look myself first."

He took a rough look around, and there were indeed a lot of good things, from watches, televisions to Maotai, cigarettes, cakes, to mahogany furniture, cultural relics and antiques, everything is available.

Holding overseas remittance vouchers does not mean that you don't have to pay. Overseas remittance vouchers are just purchase vouchers, and you have to pay extra RMB.

Then he turned to the counter of medicinal materials, which was even more exaggerated.

There were raw medicinal materials, Chinese patent medicines, and a row of large glass jars with medicinal wine. Centipedes, scorpions, and snakes were very peaceful inside.

"What is that wine?"

"Deer antler wine!"

"What about that one?"

"Tiger bone wine!"

Chen Qi's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to talk about it in detail, he saw another one and asked, "What is that over there?"

"Oh, it's tiger penis wine!"

Ouch! This is good! This is good!

He hurried over, looked carefully, and said, "Is it a real penis?"

"Can a tiger have a fake penis?"

"No, I mean a real tiger?"

"Of course, this is produced by the Beijing Chinese Medicine Factory more than ten years ago, Li Shizhen brand tiger penis wine!"

"How is this sold?"

"We have bottled ones, 12 yuan a bottle."

I'll buy it all!

Chen Qi wanted to shout this, but at this time he was very embarrassed, and there were still a few younger brothers waiting outside.

Maotai is only 8 yuan a bottle, and tiger penis wine is 12 yuan, but if there is such an opportunity, would a man buy Maotai or tiger penis? Is there any need to ask this question? The country will start to protect tigers in a few years.

Chen Qi reluctantly left the counter, thinking that he would come back tomorrow to prepare for a rainy day.

Finally, he bought some chocolates, pastries, dried squid, canned luncheon meat, etc. that are hard to buy on the market, and walked out staggeringly.

"Wow, what did you buy?"

"Is it all good stuff in it?"

Several people were anxious and curious, but with the current relationship, it was not easy to open the bag directly. Chen Qi took the initiative to open it and let them have a look. He smiled and said, "I'll go home soon. Who of you can run errands and go to the Beijing Film Studio to share with everyone."

"Ah? Are you really giving it to us?"

"You're so nice! I'll call you Brother Chen from now on!"

"You're welcome. Come on, take some first. Take as much as you want."

Ge Chunyan and Huang Qiuyan were embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, they reached out for the chocolate. They had a special meal in the martial arts team. The so-called special meal was just milk, eggs, and at most some meat.

Chocolate and Western pastries are foreign stuff.

Li Lianjie has seen the world, but he can only eat when he goes abroad. How can he have these at ordinary times? He maintained the pride and self-esteem of the national champion, struggled for a few times, and comforted himself:

"He sells a script for 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. What's the big deal if I eat a little? He asked me to eat!"

So he took some too.

Wang Qun was honest and said, "I'll go to the Beijing Film Studio and share with everyone."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then. Can you escort me home first?"

"No problem, it's a joke!"

"If I had known you were so awesome, I would have called a few more people. Call Ji Chunhua, it looks scary!"

"Forget it, is Ji Chunhua working as a bodyguard or robbing a bank? He has to be pressed down before entering the door."

Eaters have short mouths.

At least the two girls were in high spirits and were chattering all the way. Li Lianlian continued to chat, glancing at Chen Qi from time to time: It seems that he is more than a few, he is very powerful!

I am not afraid that people will take it, but I am afraid that people will not take it. If you want to be a big brother, you must first learn to pay the bill.

If there is no benefit to following you, you will earn a salary of several thousand yuan a month, no overtime pay, PUA in the workplace, bombarded by WeChat at any time, and never see an annual leave... Do you think you are a consumable for future generations?

…………

"Hey, my son is back!"

"Why don't you stay in the factory? It's holiday?"

In the evening, my parents came into the house and found their son at home. They were surprised and happy.

"Hey, what did you get back? Smelly socks?"

Yu Xiuli's sharp eyes spotted the bag, and she threw it onto the bed, half of the bed filled with banknotes and remittance coupons dripping out.

"Mom!"

"Er smash, you robbed a bank?!"

"Ahem... tell me something!"

Chen Qi pressed his hands down and said: "For the purpose of promoting cultural exchanges between Beijing and Hong Kong, and in anticipation of Hong Kong's early return, I wrote a script for a film company and received a remuneration of 10,000 yuan. There are also these remittance coupons.

I decided that tomorrow the whole family will go to the Overseas Chinese Store together. I need a watch. You can buy whatever you like, and then buy a TV for the house.

I won’t use the color TV for now. It costs several thousand yuan and is not cost-effective.

Buy a large black and white TV. Isn’t that the 9-inch black and white TV that Uncle Zhang has? Let’s buy a 12-inch one. I checked the price. It’s cheaper than department stores, only 420 yuan!

I withdrew one thousand, which should be enough. I don’t have to worry about the money. I’ll earn it after spending it.

Your son is promising and is now a household worth ten thousand yuan! "

(No more...)
