Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 173 Yanjing's scenery is not present in the city, and it has risen every year since the founding of the People's Republic of China 30 years ago

It was almost noon, and a heavy rain was coming.

The sky over Pujiang City was getting darker.

At this moment, the hearts of those who were still in the conference room were as bright as a mirror.

"Zhang Chu, you must consider this matter properly," Lao Li from the People's Bank said with concern:

"This comrade from Oriental Metropolis Daily has given us extraordinary help."

"Dongfang...Metropolis Daily?" The chief of the military department at the side muttered to himself: "I remembered, is it the one with cartoons on the outer wall of the newspaper office?"

"Yes," Director Zhang nodded, "That's them. "Oriental Metropolis Daily" is a new newspaper launched by our city this year."

"I know," Lao Li nodded, "The serial novel "Latent" a while ago, and the recent "Before Dawn" are all owned by him!"

"Oh," the military chief nodded, "I'm really impressed when you mention it like that."

"Hey," Director Zhang knocked on the poster on the table: "It's getting too far, let you help me think about it, what reward should I give Comrade Jiangshan?"

"Jiangshan? Is he the designer of this poster?"

"Well, it's him."

"What can your Propaganda Department award to others?" Chief Wu asked directly: "A medal or a trophy?"

Director Zhang stared: "Is there even a need to ask you this?"

After a brief silence,
Still looking at the painting, the Chief of Military Affairs lowered his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if you don't mention it, we won't let the designer be busy in vain."

"Actually," Zhang Chu's gaze also fell on the poster, "Comrade Xiao Jiang never made any request before he took on this task or after he handed over the work to me."

"Well," Lao Li said with emotion: "He is really a good comrade who can do practical things!"

"That's right," Director Zhang continued: "The more comrades like this have no demands, we as leaders cannot let them feel cold."

"That's right," said the military chief who had been in deep thought just now, "Don't worry Zhang Chu, don't worry about this, it was originally a cooperation between our two units."

"Lao Wu, what do you mean?"

"To tell you the truth, I have already thought of a very suitable reward!"

"Don't say it's a certificate of merit," Director Zhang hurriedly explained, "I'm not saying that the certificate of merit is meaningless, it's just..."

"Old Zhang, don't worry." The chief of military affairs and Comrade Lao Li glanced at each other: "Our people's rewards are never in vain. Have you forgotten the cloisonne teacup from before?"

"Why, is it cloisonné again this time?"

"How is it possible? Isn't this year the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

The voice of the chief of military affairs became smaller and smaller.

In the end, Zhang Chu had no choice but to lean against him again and again.

The efficiency of the Pujiang Pedestrian Walk is indeed extraordinary.

In less than a week, people in the city and surrounding cities will go.

All of them posted two newly launched advertising posters inside and outside the door.

At the same time, a large outdoor billboard on Nanjing-Jing Road was also replaced with a promotional poster of "feeding chickens and laying eggs".

At this moment, Jiang He took his third child on a bicycle, and when passing by the billboard, he deliberately stopped to watch for a while.

"Second brother," Jiang Shan, who was sitting in the back seat, patted the shoulder of the second brother: "You have to do it tomorrow."

"Don't worry," Jiang He knew that what the third child was talking about was about the bank's advertising wall: "I can draw no worse than this."

"That is."

"Don't worry about it, take care of the sauce duck, don't fly anymore!"

"Don't worry, I can't finish it even if I want to eat so much."

Today is the day when the Jiang family moved back to their new house.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother have been preparing for this day since the first two days.

According to Jiang Shan's previous intentions, he might as well go to a state-run restaurant and have a meal.

However, Jiang Ma firmly disagreed.

If you have to move, you must make your home prosperous and lively!
So, I picked up the mountains and rivers early this morning.

At this moment, the two brothers hurried back to the small courtyard with two bags full of sauced duck and three yellow chickens.

At this time, the courtyard No. 51 was already full of friends from all walks of life.

There are colleagues and friends of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, as well as the surrounding neighbors...

"Director Jiang, congratulations, the new home is well decorated."

"Come on, let's have a cigarette first."

"Sister Jiang, let me help you for a while."

"No need, it's all ready-made, don't get your new clothes dirty."

"What's the matter, it's worthless."

"Old Jiang, I'm not late, am I?"

"Why are you alone, didn't you ask you to bring your lover?"

"..."

One after another, the stream is endless.

Not to mention how lively it was.

The big guys didn't come empty-handed either.

According to today's habits, when each came over, he either carried a pair of thermos bottles or a bed sheet.

There are piles of towels, hanging plaques, embroidered pillowcases...

Jiang Hai and Jiang Chuan were busy serving tea and water to the guests at this moment.

A freshly painted dining table in the main room was filled with peanuts, melon seeds, fruits... and toffee.

The guests are holding a handful in their hands and are taking turns to visit the houses next to each other.

Jiang Shan, who had been busy dissipating smoke, turned around a little.

It was found that the room belonging to Jianghe was the busiest.

Tsk-tsk-tsk praises can be heard endlessly.

Facing Yishui's trendy furniture, several young people are pulling the second child to ask this and that.

For a while, Jiang He, who had never been able to stand the toss, was sweating all over his forehead, and he was about to be overwhelmed.

"Second brother," Jiang Shan came over in time: "There are people looking for you outside."

"Oh?" Jiang He really believed it. After saying "oh," he rushed out without looking back.

"What do you all want to know?" Jiang Shan smiled and said to several guests, "It's the same when you ask me."

Thus, a new round of questions was launched.

"Are you the third child?"

"I heard that you are also the editor of the newspaper now."

"Is there a partner? If not, I will introduce one for you."

"By the way, have you allocated rooms in your unit?"

Jiangshan always has a smiling face, you ask me if I agree or not.

After more than ten minutes, I was already arguing with the guests about where the child should go to the nursery in the future.

"Third brother," Jiang He suddenly appeared outside the window, "Someone is looking for you at the door."

As soon as the second child said this, he immediately made Jiang Shan laugh.

Unexpectedly, the second brother also has the ability to learn and sell.

Just as he was grinning happily, another figure appeared outside the window: "Hello, Comrade Xiao Jiang."

"Director Zhang,"

Facing the sudden appearance of guests, Jiang Shan's eyes widened in shock: "Why are you here?"

"Hehe, why can't I come here," Director Zhang said with a smile, "It seems that I am really right to come today." Zhang Chu came into my room, and I went to see where the eldest brother is."

After a while, Jiang Shan led Jiang Hai into the room in a hurry.

"Zhang Chu, you are such a rare guest," Jiang Hai walked over to shake hands one step ahead: "My family is too busy today, so I didn't entertain you well."

Jiang Shan behind him was holding three teacups: "Come Zhang Chu, drink some herbal tea to cool off the heat."

"Oh, your house looks very nice,"

The smiling Zhang Chu took the teacup, he was looking at it just now.

It was found that the walls around Jiangshan's house were covered with various paintings.

Two of them are advertising paintings designed for the Bank of China not long ago.

"It's art after all," Zhang Chu couldn't get enough of it: "It's just different."

"Heh," Jiang Shan smiled: "I don't have any other hobbies at ordinary times, I just like to write and draw."

"This hobby is very good," Zhang Chu nodded, "You have to keep it up."

"Sure! I'll remember it."

"Editor Jiang," Zhang Chu continued, "I'm actually here today for a business."

"Oh?" Jiang Hai immediately restrained his smile: "Tell me first, and I'll see how to solve it."

"Look," Director Zhang said with a gratified smile, "Every time I ask any question, it's your "Oriental Metropolis Daily" that agrees most simply."

"Hey, isn't that what it should be?"

"You mustn't say that,"

While speaking, Zhang Chu took out a file bag from the briefcase he carried with him.

Then, he said formally: "Our Municipal Propaganda Office and the Municipal People's Bank of China, in order to thank Comrade Jiangshan for his outstanding contribution, we would like to award a souvenir."

"Thank you for your trust, leader..." Jiang Shan never expected that Director Zhang would actually be giving himself a prize when he came here today.

"Comrade Xiaojiang," Director Zhang did not forget the repeated instructions of the chief of the military department: "You should not spread the matter about this souvenir."

"Ok?"

"remember?"

"Hey, I remember it in my heart."

After a conversation of thanks and determination, Jiang Shan and the boss finally sent off the unexpected guest.

"Third, what do you think it is?"

On the way back to the small courtyard, Jiang Hai couldn't help speeding up his pace.

"I just squeezed it... I can't tell."

Three steps and two steps to rush back to the hut.

One of the brothers quickly closed the door, and the other closed the curtains with both hands.

Soon, the file bag was opened by Jiang Shan.

"This is……?"

Looking at the thing in Lao San's hand, Jiang Hai couldn't help but blinked: "Is this...?"

Although he had guessed it, Jiang Hai still didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

"Gold." Jiang Shan's eyes were also burned by the thing in front of him: "Boss, it's gold."

"My God, I've never touched gold before."

"Now you can touch it enough," Jiang Shan touched it himself first: "After all, it is our people's bank, so it's different when we take action!"

"Give me a touch,"

"Are you comfortable?"

"It's so comfortable, oh my third child, if I can touch this thing, it's really thanks to you."

"One family does not speak two dialects, there are exactly four here..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, we won't accept such an expensive thing." Jiang Hai just said curiously:

"What do you mean by the four hundred above? Can it be used as 400 yuan?"

"But please don't, this thing is not only 400 yuan."

Jiang Shan, who has been staring at the gold, is now carefully looking at the text in the small box: "The [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China... commemorative gold coins? Hiss?"

"Why, what do you see?"

"Oh, what a pity."

"You even got gold, why are you still sighing?"

Jiang Shan shook his head, slightly disappointed: "How beautiful it would be if it was the old one!"

At this moment, Jiang Shan can almost conclude that the set of gold coins in his hand should be the second set of commemorative gold coins issued by the People's Bank of China after the reform.

Although the collection value of this set is already very impressive, compared with the first set, it is still a lot inferior.

In 1978, in order to revitalize domestic gold in exchange for foreign exchange.

The Printing Bureau of the People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Baosheng Bank were in Yanjing and Hong Kong respectively to discuss cooperation matters regarding the People's Bank of China's issuance of the "Yanjing Scenic Spots Commemorative Gold Medals", "The [-]th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China Commemorative Gold Coins" and "Panda Commemorative Coins" in Hong Kong.

Baosheng Bank in Xiangjiang has always been known as the Gold Bank.

No matter in Hong Kong or internationally, it is still somewhat famous.

Through the efforts of both parties, a set of four "Yanjing Scenic Spot Commemorative Gold Medals" was first issued and listed in Xiangjiang in January 1979.

The front is unified as a Huabiao, and the back is released as the design of the Summer Palace, Beihai, Badaling, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest in the Temple of Heaven.

However, after such a painstaking consultation and design, only 2000 sets were released.

Therefore, on the morning of the sale, before Baosheng Bank opened for business, there were already a large number of citizens standing in line outside the door waiting to buy commemorative gold medals.

Many of them have come to wait in line even at two o'clock in the morning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, as soon as the door opened, customers poured in, and the business lobby was packed in an instant.

As a result, only 2000 sets of commemorative gold medals were sold out in the blink of an eye.

Because the quantity was too small, there was still an endless stream of customers coming to Po Sang Bank for inquiries long after the sale ended.

In just a few weeks, the price of the "Yanjing Scenic Spot Commemorative Gold Medal" has tripled or quadrupled.

The key is that there are only bidders, not shippers.

Therefore, after discussions between the People's Bank of China and Baosheng Bank, the number of issued "Gold Coins for the 79th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" scheduled to be launched on the National Day of 7 increased to [-] sets at once.

The design pattern of the gold coin is unified as the national emblem on the front, and Tiananmen, Monument, Great Hall and Memorial Hall on the back.

Ordinarily, the number of the second issue is much larger than the first, and the room for appreciation will be greatly reduced.

But I never thought that its influence far exceeded the first time.

Maybe it’s because of the big name, or maybe it’s because the third “Panda Gold Coin” issued later was issued in unlimited quantities.

As a result, there was a saying in the collection circle at that time:
The scenery of Yanjing is not like that of the city.

In the 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the price has increased every year.

Panda Gold Coins 999 are available everywhere in Xiangjiang Omen.

At this moment, Jiang Shan repeatedly looked at the pattern of the gold coin in his hand.

The national emblem on the front and the Great Hall on the back... are exactly as described in memory.

"It's only August now," he couldn't help but whisper secretly, "It's already..."

For a moment, Jiang Shan didn't dare to think deeply: "Brother, remember what Zhang Chu said just now, don't tell anyone about this."

Jiang Hai took a deep look at Jiang Shan and said after a while: "Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know!"

"Hehe," Jiang Shan laughed for a moment: "That's the deal."

The fact that he got the commemorative gold coins in advance actually happened to him, which reminded Jiang Shan of another interesting thing...
