National Tide 1980.

Chapter 224

"It's not that I refute the face of you two. The key point is that we bought such a fine art and hope to keep it forever. We don't want to make profits from these calligraphy and paintings."

"Actually, the two of you should thank Director Liu. Because if it wasn't for her not wanting to embarrass you two, she advised me to keep some for Mr. Xu. All the calligraphy and paintings in this library, I will wrap them up." up.

"So forgive me for being hard-pressed. I will never sell these paintings and calligraphy. No matter how high the price is. If Mr. Xu doesn't like the rest of these things, it doesn't matter. I'm really willing to buy them all."

Well, let's see, how high-sounding this kid's reason is, and how brilliant the words of rejection are.

Not only did he block the cracks in the door, but he also used a trick of feinting his gun to give Aunt Liu a hand and put these two in the army.

Without making a fuss, he even called and gave the two of them a big nest of roast chicken to eat.

It can really be called taking advantage of the advantage and being good, killing three birds with one stone.

So, in the end, both Director Wu and Mr. Xu were sucked.

But Aunt Liu, who was smiling all over her face, was sending Director Wu and Mr. Xu away.

Quietly put his hand behind his back and gave Ning Weimin a thumbs up.

But this is still not the most hearty time for Ning Weimin in this unexpected meeting.

His greatest sense of happiness is actually because Director Wu subconsciously called out Mr. Xu's name when he was walking and comforting Mr. Xu.

In a flash of light and flint, it came by surprise.

Ok?

What did Director Wu call him?

Hua Ming?Xu Huaming?

Could it be that Mr. Xu who came with Director Wu is...

Is that the well-known collector of calligraphy and painting, who will make all major auction houses flock to him in the future?

It was as if a lightning flashed across Ning Weimin's mind.

After a flash, it suddenly became clear!

The name he heard, the photos he had seen in the "Investor" pictorial in his previous life, and the real image of the Hong Kong businessman in front of him were all integrated into one.

That's right, that's right!

He is Xu Huaming!

Xu Huaming when he was young!

That unfathomable, extremely mysterious Xu Huaming who doesn't know why there are so many famous calligraphy and paintings!

So, I seem to have cracked a shocking secret that no one knows.

And... And I cut off the big man's beard!

cool!

So cool!

So cool!

Think about the future status of this big brother Xu in the domestic collection circle and auction house...

Our comprador Ning was so excited that he couldn't breathe.

He actually replaced him in this life, taking away the greatest luck by mistake?

The encounters in this life, the wonders of fate, are really indescribable!

On the way back, the wind was strong and the fine dust swirled.

It hit people's faces unobstructed.

Despite the sun, the air is still dry and cold, which can freeze people into popsicles.

Among Ning Weimin and his group, not to mention Zhang Shihui, who was sitting with him on the tricycle and escorting the car, clutching his coat tightly, he was "frozen" from the cold.

Even those workers who pedal three wheels hard will shiver with the cold wind.

They all look forward to finishing today's errands early and going to the restaurant to drink two taels of soju.

Only Ning Weimin is different from anyone else, he is like the god of fire descending to earth, he doesn't know the cold at all.

His mind is still immersed in the things and people he experienced today...

The wonderful encounter really made his blood boil!

In the evening, the sun was setting.

Ning Weimin entertained friends from all walks of life who helped facilitate the business.

A special trip was held at the "Sambo Le" in Xinqiao Hotel and a sumptuous banquet was held.

The main banquet guests are, of course, Aunt Liu and his wife, Huo Xin and Zhang Shihui.

Since Liu Weijing happened to be off work, Ning Weimin of course invited her along.

Unexpectedly, she also brought a newly bought Seagull camera.

Zhang Shihui took advantage of the situation and asked Liu Weijing to take a photo with Ning Weimin, saying that they hadn't had a photo together for so long.

In the end, the filming was over, but Aunt Liu also urged Huo Xin and Ning Weimin to take a picture.

Ning Weimin didn't want to refute Aunt Liu's face, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and endured the embarrassment to take a photo with Huo Xin.

In the photo, he stood upright, with a serious face like a soldier ready for training.

Huo Xin pretended to be shy, as if she was a bride.

This photo was always teased by Zhang Shihui, saying that it was a group photo with the most discordant expressions in the world, and it was completely comedic.

At the same time, in the Qianmen Hotel, which was only three kilometers away from them.

Xu Huaming, who was drinking heavily, was filled with depression and frustration that were more difficult to calm down.

If it is said that seeing so many good things being taken away with his own eyes today is his fate.

If he could suppress his grievances and maintain a peaceful mind.

If it is said that he finally paid 4 yuan for the things he bought.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't find a few masterpieces by famous masters like Qi Baishi and Pan Tianshou.

He could only admit that he was unlucky, after all, because of the cheap price, he managed to reluctantly accept the reality.

But a piece of good news from Hong Kong City dealt a heavy blow.

Let him realize that the greatest opportunity of his life has been lost, and that he can no longer maintain grace for it.

For Ning Weimin, the person who bought most of the calligraphy and paintings, he couldn't help feeling a strong jealousy that he had never felt before.

Just two hours later, Sotheby's held the first auction of paintings by famous Chinese modern masters in Hong Kong.

Fu Baoshi gave Xiong Shiyi a piece of "Mrs. Xiang", and the hammer price was as high as 18 Hong Kong dollars.

18, just a painting!

Although Xu Huaming didn't know how many Fu Baoshi were in the paintings and calligraphy that Ning Weimin bought.

But the last time he went into the warehouse, he found no less than six or seven pieces, all of which were large in size, just by taking a cursory look.

According to his estimation, at least Curry should have dozens of them.

God knows what he missed!

He simply couldn't continue thinking about it!

Such a pity, it would be better if I never knew about it!

People and people's lives, although it is only one step away, it is a big difference!

…………

Some people are proud, some people are frustrated, this is life.

The frustration of frustrated people is often created by the success of proud people.

This is the truth of life.

But no matter what, 1981, which is drawing to a close, should be regarded as a good year.

Because compared with 1979, when the prices of eight non-staple foods were raised, and compared with 1980, when commodity prices were hitchhiking and the prices rose severely, the market price increase in 1981 had stabilized.

In this year, Beijing's consumer price index and retail sales index rose by only 1.3% and 1.4% respectively, of which food prices only rose by 2.9%.

In the same year, our Republic, when the overall economic and spiritual outlook passed, also began to solve various historical problems.

It is the end of the year.

A reporter surnamed Song from the branch of the National News Agency went to Dong'e County to interview and write a newsletter, "As long as you can hold your head up - remembering the paralyzed girl Lingling".

Lingling's scientific name is Zhang Haidi.

When this report came out, not only Zhang Haidi's own life trajectory was changed, but many young people who were touched by this report also benefited a lot.

Also at the end of this year, 47-year-old Chen Jingrun finally became a father.

This year, Xu Chi's reportage "Goldbach's Conjecture" made Chen Jingrun, a mathematician who has been unknown until now, a well-known scientific idol.

But until the child was born, their family still lived a life separated from the two places.

Due to the long-standing personnel system and the needs of national construction and development, the work of individuals in the city is uniformly assigned by the state.

The job transfer must go through complicated procedures and protracted waiting.

The separation of the two places became a difficulty that many families had to face in this era.

But also from this year, the Republic has begun to focus on solving this problem.

In 1981 alone, the state solved the practical difficulties of 30 households.

Two years later, under the care of contemporary great men, Chen Jingrun's wife was also transferred from Wuhan to Beijing.

Finally, at the end of the year, the Association of Chinese Compatriots Across the Strait was established.

Its role is to assist the island compatriots to come to the mainland to do business, invest, build factories, run schools, give lectures, and do research activities.

As a result, compatriots on both sides of the strait who had been separated for more than 30 years and countless families who were forced to separate finally began to resume contact.

Many relatives and old friends who have been separated from each other have the possibility to meet again.
