Riding the wind of rebirth

There are three main expenditures: a donation to the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund, which was operated through AXA Fund and amounted to US$500 million.

One purchase was to purchase a four-story warehouse facing the street in Hongqi Village, transforming the first and second floors into a screening room and game room, and a studio and future collection room on the third and fourth floors.

Nowadays, houses are cheap, and the total cost is less than 60 yuan. On the contrary, it cost more than 30 yuan to install a large elevator, which is an expenditure of 100 million yuan.

The only thing saved was the time at Taoyang's old house.

After a comprehensive inventory, Zhou Zhi's Jinjiang branch account now still has more than 100 million pounds, more than 300 million US dollars left in the past, and more than 500 million yuan accumulated over the years.

The capital is a place where you can throw money away but it won't make a difference. Spend it carefully and it should be enough...

After tinkering in the Suihuaxuan warehouse for a long time, Tingting walked in: "Brother Xiuzi, what are you still doing? Every time you get in, you can't get out, and you have to send someone to call. Don't you look at what time it is now! You will still be here tomorrow! Is it possible to leave?"

The little girl was a little tempered because she originally wanted to go to BJ with Zhou Zhi, but Guan's mother signed her up for a cram school, and she had to take it on the first day of the holiday.

The little girl had just finished filming the MV, and she was not idle while Master Yang was making costumes. Chi Xueli hired a professional teacher to guide her body shape, movements, etc., so that she could meet the behavioral requirements of a lady in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. For Guan Tingting, it was still a bit difficult.

"You can become a great person only if you endure hardships, and your mother also wants to do it for your own good." Zhou Zhi could only advise: "Don't do it just because your grades in cultural classes are not up to standard. Even your master will not be able to save you."

"I get up early every day to practice my voice, in the afternoon I practice the piano, and in the evening I practice my body." Guan Tingting expressed dissatisfaction: "I can endure these hardships, but I can't endure the hardships of cultural classes!"

"Okay, okay, this is the only half year that I can eat or not." Zhou Zhi pushed Guan Tingting out: "This time I will bring you something interesting."

"That's more or less the same." Guan Tingting said: "If you don't go home during the Spring Festival, will you spend it in Shudu? I heard you when you were on the phone with Yao Ma."

"Maybe I really have to go to Shudu, and then I have to go to Northern Xinjiang. I made an appointment with Brother Dandan."

Guan Tingting was a little happy: "Well, you will spend time with us then."

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Zhi arrived in the capital by plane.

It was Mr. Ma who came to pick him up.

"Oh Master Ma, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are still in such good spirits."

"You, please don't learn the capital dialect. If you try to speak Mandarin, it will sound like the corn crumbs are put in after the porridge is cooked. It's hard to speak!" Mr. Ma helped put the luggage on the car: " What do you have in these big and small bags?"

The two had not seen each other for more than a year, but they were still affectionate when they met. Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I gave Sister Wanqiu some things to make things happen, and I also brought some drinks for everyone, soy sauce, bran, vinegar and so on."

"You guys are doing a lot of work this year, especially Brother Wang. You are putting out collected works one by one."

This year Wang Shuo published four collections of his essays, setting a precedent for young writers to publish collections of essays.At the same time, "The Story of the Editorial Department" was also published as a novel, as were the novellas "You Will Die If You Are Too Addicted" and "You Are Not a Common Man".

Liu Zhengyun also published important works "Chicken Feathers in a Place", "Officials", and "Spreading Everywhere in My Hometown".

"Him?! Old wine in a new bottle, it's still the same thing as before." Mr. Ma expressed disdain: "Have you also watched "Haiba Dance Hall"?"

"I've watched it, and I've also watched "No One Applauds"." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

Speaking of which, it makes me laugh to death. Mr. Ma spent his own money to set up a cultural salon, called the Haima Dance Hall. A group of literati have gathered there for a long time to eat and drink, and they made losses every month.

This year, several cultural figures collectively created a movie with the Haima Song and Dance Hall as the background. It is called "Haima Song and Dance Hall". Just pick any screenwriter and writer who will be a great figure in the later literary world - Hai Yan, Liu Zhengyun, Ma Wei Wei, Mo Yan, Liang Zhuo. "I heard that you are engaged in scientific research, and Old Liu is quite envious." Ma Ye said with a smile: "The one you joined was the 863 project. After hearing this, Old Liu felt that the awards in his hands were not good. This person, just I like eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.”

"Are they all fine?" Zhou Zhi asked, "There are also Brother Feng, Brother Pan, Brother Yu and the others. It's been a long time since I last sent my greetings."

"They are making a lot of money building houses now." Mr. Ma smiled and said: "The capital is so big, you can see it in this auction."

"I guess they want to see you too."

"You want to see me, why?"

"What is the biggest need in building a house?" Mr. Ma asked.

"The ground."

“What do you need to get the land?”

"Approval?"

"Are you stupid? Can approval be a big deal to them?" Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Of course it's money!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to attract the attention of a few big brothers with this little money." Zhou Zhi was very modest.

"But you know the Li family!" Mr. Ma said very exaggeratedly: "In the blink of an eye, this good guy became Li Laosan's younger cousin-in-law and Li Laoer's younger brother-in-law."

"That's fair to say. Sister Wanqiu and I are not from the same school. What kind of brother-in-law is that? It's so ugly."

"Hehehe..." Mr. Ma joked: "Mr. Qi doesn't care about you and Wanqiu at all. You have to make everyone believe you even if you say we are not from the same sect."

"It seems so. Mr. Qi is not very fond of Sister Wanqiu. I called him before coming here. After a few words, he went to the auction and encouraged me to take out the heavy goods..."

At this point, Ma Ye and Zhou Zhi suddenly connected with each other and shouted together: "Master Cheap!"

Old friends meeting each other year after year were endless topics to talk about. Soon the car got off the expressway and squeezed into the not-too-crowded traffic in the capital. After a while, we arrived at Demian Hall.

The decoration of Demian Hall has become more and more exquisite. On the way, I heard Mr. Ma say that this place has basically become their gathering place. The Haima Dance Hall let it go straight to the show and made a movie named after it as a souvenir. It's worthy of it.

Mr. Qi and Mr. Wang were both drinking tea in the patio, with several people around them.

Among them, Lin Wanqiu, Liu Zhengyun, and Yu Bin were all there, but Wang Shuo had been too popular in the past two years and was probably very busy. Feng Cang and Pan Shiya were nowhere to be seen.

Although Zhou Zhi had never met the extra people in this life, the memories of later generations made him very familiar with them. One was Mo Yan, a later literary giant; the other was a famous actor and host who has hosted three times now. During the Spring Festival Gala, the hugely influential "Harbin at Night" was broadcast, with Wang Gang, a future Heshen professional; and there was another writer who Zhou Zhi admired very much, Yu Hua, who had just published "Alive".

After getting off the car, Zhou Zhi hurried over to say hello to all the current and future bosses.

Of course, this group of people would not be waiting for him here for his sake, but probably for the sake of Lin Wanqiu and the two elders, or because they were lucky enough to meet at the Cultural Salon.

So there was another exchange of pleasantries, especially among Mo Yan, Wang Gang and Yu Hua, who were meeting for the first time, and Zhou Zhi was extremely enthusiastic.

And this enthusiasm was not false. The three found that Zhou Zhi was quite familiar with their situation. (End of chapter)
