Revival Road

Chapter 78 Explore
Sun Dunquan officially started preparations for the launch of the new book after May Day.Inspired by the Donghu clubhouse, he has been conceiving a new book since he came back, and finally decided to use Donghu Industry as the prototype, and the protagonist locked Tang Yikun.

Yin Yutao once suggested that he use Tao Tang as the prototype, and thought that he was more familiar with state-owned enterprises. After all, he had worked in state-owned enterprises for more than ten years, and he had the qualifications for the system and mechanism of state-owned enterprises that ordinary writers do not have.Moreover, there is also Tao Tang, you can get necessary materials from Tao Tang.

After much deliberation, I still feel that such a story is not attractive.If Song Yue is used as the prototype, the story can still be unfolded, but the theme is rather dark.He chatted with his editor a few times on QQ, and told the editor the idea of ​​his new book. The editor thinks it is inappropriate to use a corrupt person as the protagonist prototype. Recently, there are new requirements for online literature, whether it is history or In reality, it is still necessary to promote positive energy.

While continuing his love story of the Republic of China, he conceived the framework of the new book.After the general idea of ​​the new book is determined, what he has to do is to collect data.There is a brief introduction of Donghu Industry on the Internet, which is of a propaganda nature and cannot meet his requirements at all. What he wants is the history of Donghu's development, or the history of Tang Yikun's fortune.

This is not an easy task. Sun Dunquan doesn't even know any middle and senior staff in Donghu.

But Sun Dunquan unexpectedly got a chance during the May Day holiday.He went to the Cultural Palace for a stroll that day and met a man.

The Cultural Palace of Pingquan City has an antique market every Saturday and Sunday. Sun Dunquan mainly buys old books and newspapers. He once bought a lot of dilapidated magazines and newspapers at the Cultural Palace Secondary Market for writing the book in his hand. There are also some obsessed with "scouring the old".But because of financial constraints, he couldn't afford better things.When visiting the flea market of the Cultural Palace, Sun Dunquan would think that if he were Tang Yikun, he would be beautiful. For these things, whichever he likes is whichever he likes, and he doesn't even ask for the price.It was Tao Tang, whose annual salary was hundreds of thousands, so there was no problem maintaining such a hobby.But he couldn't do it... Then he realized that people like Tang Yikun and Tao Tang wouldn't have the leisure time to visit the flea market. They have money, but they don't have the leisure of their own. Things in the world are always so mysterious If you have this, you can't have that, so you shouldn't complain about anything.

That day Sun Dunquan was flipping through a small book in the flea market. The cover was gone, but the illustrations were extremely beautiful. He must have seen it when he was a child, so he squatted there and began to read it.

Or maybe the comic strip brought back childhood memories, Sun Dunquan read it there with gusto, until a female voice laughed at him, "It's serious enough. Come here to read comic books for free?"

He looked up and saw a woman about his own age looking at him with a smile, but for a moment he couldn't remember who she was.

"Why, don't you know?"

"It looks familiar, sorry, I really can't remember..."

"Zhang Hongqin. Your name is Sun Dunquan, right?"

"Zhang Hongqin? Oh, oh, look at my memory. You are Lu Qi's good friend, right? You were almost inseparable back then." Sun Dunquan stood up and stretched out his hand to the other party.

"I finally remembered. Why, are you collecting comic books?" Zhang Hongqin smiled and held Sun Dunquan's outstretched hand, "Long time no see. Lu Qi is still in the factory? How is she?"

"I'm just wandering around, I can't talk about collecting, and I don't have the financial resources. Lu Qi is in the factory, what? You lost contact?"

"Well, I went there when she got married, but I lost contact with her later...can you give me her phone number?"

"Of course. Oh, why don't you go back to the factory with me, she's pretty good, and we had dinner together not long ago. By the way, do you remember Tao Tang?"

"I remember, of course I remember. Isn't he in Yanjing? Hey, let's forget about today, let's go to another day, and I will definitely go back to the factory to meet Lu Qi."

"Tao Tang has returned to Red Star to be the top leader. Tang Yikun took over for Tao Tang. A few classmates had a meal together. There were Zhou Hongyou, Han Ruilin, oh, and Gu Meijun."

"Ah, Tao Tang has become the leader of Red Star? That's amazing...What about Lu Qi, what is she doing now? And you, are you also in Red Star? Are you the leader?"

"Lu Qi works as the deputy director of the Department of Regulations, and she is living a beautiful life. I, I resigned a long time ago, and now I am unemployed, why don't I come here to hang out. By the way, where are you working now?"

"I, I am eating at Donghu Industrial..."

"You're in East Lake, that's great..." Sun Dun thought with all his heart, "Is this your son?" He looked at the eight or nine-year-old boy who was holding Zhang Hongqin's hand.

"Yes. My second child has a daughter above him...Xiaozhi likes to read comic books. After resting and having nothing to do, I came here for a while. I didn't expect to meet you. You haven't changed much, you've gained a little weight. .”

"Both sons and daughters. Not bad. It's getting late, meeting is fate, let's find a place to chat? No, you must listen to me." Sun Dunquan bought the little book for 30 yuan, and he didn't bargain. , involuntarily pulled Zhang Hongqin's son, "Which set of books do you like, tell uncle, uncle will give you a gift."

"You are still the same, unchanged." Zhang Hongqin was still smiling.

Half an hour later, Sun Dunquan and Zhang Hongqin's mother and son entered a fast food restaurant in the Cultural Palace. He insisted on buying an old version of "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles" for Xiaozhi for 280 yuan. Book.

"Just eat whatever you want, don't ask for wine, I'm here by car." Zhang Hongqin stopped Sun Dunquan.

"Then let's stop drinking. I'm so glad to see you. Why did you go to East Lake?" Sun Dunquan ordered some side dishes and fruit beer. "

"I'm not like you guys. I didn't go to university, but I went to a textile factory technical school. After graduation, I worked as a locomotive operator in a textile factory. I was exhausted. Later, when East Lake recruited workers, I went to take the exam and entered East Lake."

"Then you are considered the veteran of East Lake. With Tang Yikun covering you, life is good, right?"

"It's not bad. He is a big boss, and I am a wage earner. Private enterprises don't talk about friendship with classmates."

"The last time I ate at the East Lake clubhouse, Old Tang didn't mention you... What are you doing in East Lake? It is said that East Lake created the wealthy class in Hiraizumi." Sun Dunquan looked at Zhang Hongqin's clothes, "It looks like you are the part that got rich first of."

"You think highly of me. By the way, why did you resign?"

"I can't blame the factory for this. It's because I don't adapt to the style of state-owned enterprises. I was in the propaganda department. It was really boring, so I resigned. Hehe, now it seems that our class 58 is really a dragon and tiger class. There are several trendy people. However, in terms of achievements, you, Boss Tang, are even more important, and I don't think Zhou Hongyou and Tao Tang can compare to Tang Yikun."

"I don't see it that way. Achievement in life cannot be measured in money."

"Then what is the measure? Isn't this indicator left now?"

"Anyway, I don't think so. Hey, Lu Qi's life is easier now," Zhang Hongqin giggled as if thinking of something, "It doesn't matter what you say now, Tao Tang was interested in Lu Qi back then, I hope he I haven't forgotten. When did he come back? I really haven't heard of it."

"I was only transferred last month. Tao Tang, his life is not so good. His wife passed away in a car accident, and he is now a bachelor. He has kept in touch with me, and our whole family has even disturbed others. He is very warm and thoughtful. At that time he was in Binhai...Tao Tang is not bad, really."

"People, once the status changes, it will change. When Tang Yikun founded Donghu Lake, it was really like Hu Chuankui's "a dozen people, seven or eight guns" sung in "Shajiabang". He had a good relationship with us. Later, he If you are well-developed, how will you remember us? Tao Tang is good to you because you resigned. If you were his subordinate, I am afraid you would not say that."

"It seems that you are not ambitious, please forgive my inappropriate words. What are you doing in East Lake?"

"I've done a lot of errands... Now I've been driven to Donghu Machinery. The headquarters is in the development zone. The boss is Tang Yikun's younger brother Tang Yiwei. Maybe you know him?"

"I definitely don't know him. To be honest, I didn't say a few words to Tang Yikun at that time. If it wasn't for the incident at the Hiraizumi Hotel, I might have forgotten about this person. By the way, I have always been curious, how did Tang Yikun Just started Donghu Industry? It is an out-and-out myth to gather tens of billions of assets in 20 years."

"Well... On the big side, it's a good time. On the small side, Tang Yikun is really good and has a vision. Donghu started from the coal mine, and now it's focusing on real estate. He can always Find opportunities to make money. A few years ago, the coal mines made a lot of money, and the cars that pulled coal at the Dongshan Coal Mine could travel several miles! Just now you said that East Lake created Hiraizumi’s wealthy group, and you were right. Not to mention the Tang Yikun family and those who hold real power, the treatment of several major sectors of Donghu is far worse. The worst is Donghu Machinery, and some factories under it are about to close down. By the way, What do you do after resigning? Reselling antiques? It’s not like that.”

"I'll tell you the truth. I'm living off my papers now."

"A writer. I can't tell. Xiao Zhi, you see, Uncle Sun is a great writer."

"Don't embarrass me. I think the life of a professional writer is getting more and more difficult. How can a book make money if it can't even sell 1000 copies? On the contrary, Internet literature is quite popular. Yuandian.com has at least a few There are tens of thousands of 'writers', and the highest earners are in the tens of millions."

Zhang Hongqin was taken aback, "There are so many?"

"Absolutely. But there are very few of that kind of great god level. Most of the 'authors' are part-time jobs. Like me, they have no proper job, and the number of book subscriptions is extremely bleak. It should be the worst category. By the way , Hongqin, I am going to write a book based on Donghu Industry, and I just met you, can you tell me about Donghu? I checked on the Internet, and there are many introductions to Donghu, but none of them are what I want. "

Zhang Hongqin became interested, "Then what do you want to know?"

"The first pot of gold is the capital of fortune. This is true in business, as it is in other fields. The first pot of gold is the most difficult. I know a little about Tang Yikun's business, but he suddenly bought Dongshan Coal Mine. I don't know where he got it from." How many mines can he earn by going south to Shenzhen to do small business? I am very curious. Loan? Is it that easy to get a loan? Don’t the bank mortgage it? What mortgage does he rely on?”

"Hey, you really asked someone. To tell you the truth, I did this in East Lake. As far as I know, Tang Yikun's current wife has money in her family, and she sponsored Tang Yikun."

"I've heard this rumor—I've been collecting information on East Lake recently. According to what I know, East Lake's shareholding structure is actually very simple. It's in the hands of the Tang and Wei families, but the Tang family is the absolute controlling shareholder. Is this right? Although the husband and wife are one, I don’t think things are that simple, because Wei Fengru’s money is not her own, but her father’s or other elders’. If it were you, would you give up the equity to Tang Yikun? No way? ?”

"Why do I feel that you are investigating Donghu?"

"Why am I investigating Donghu? I really want to write a book. These are just materials. Maybe you don't read much online novels, and now the best-selling ones are urban novels, which are just the family history of geniuses. Young readers Looking for satisfaction that cannot be obtained in reality in an illusory world. I think private enterprises like Donghu are legendary, aren’t they?”

"Then there's no need to delve into history."

"I'm not delving into the history of East Lake. I just want to make the story more touching. I always think that the story at the beginning of the business is the most important and the most exciting. If you can't write this paragraph well, the article will lose its foundation. Just like a house, the foundation is not stable, and the quality is impossible to talk about... Don't worry, I never mean to discredit Donghu. After writing it, it is also to promote Donghu. In addition, I will not let you provide it for nothing. Material."

Zhang Hongqin giggled, "Haha, what do you do for me?"

"To tell you the truth, I have written several books, but now I realize that those books in the past are all nonsense and have no value. Only now do I understand that online literature is also literature. Since it is literature, it must follow the general laws of literature. There must be material for life. I am not in a hurry, I must do the preparations well... You ask me what benefits I will give you? I will give you a present that you can afford—if this book is successful, what do you want? Things, you choose, I mean what I say."

"I'm just kidding you, you still take it seriously. I don't want any reward, just consider it a favor for you..."

So, while eating, Zhang Hongqin talked about what she knew about East Lake, and the time slipped away without her noticing, until Xiaozhi became fussy, and Zhang Hongqin said, "No, I have to go home, I have something to do in the afternoon."

The two left a phone call with each other, and Zhang Hongqin had buried the order for the meal. Zhang Hongqin said to Sun Dunquan: "Stop arguing, look, I'm not polite to you buying books for my son? I hope you can really write a book worth reading. The novel I read."

Sun Dunquan gained a lot, and his "investigation" of East Lake was a big step forward.
