Chapter 40 The Great Turnaround

Shi De is busy doing Tai Chi.

After the party at the Lu restaurant, Shi De drove Bi You to a bowl of incense, put down the car, and walked back to Fang Waiju with He Ye.He spoke very little along the way. He kept his eyes slightly closed and did not speak much. It could be seen that He was in a low mood.

After returning to Fang Waiju, Master He opened his mouth and said three words: "Bi Wentian is now a billionaire. Bi Wentian's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and many people will regard his words as imperial decrees. Tonight, I will teach you to do Tai Chi. fist."

Three sentences, the first two sentences are still related, and the second sentence seems to be inconsistent with the preamble, Shi De did not ask too much, how he taught, he learned how to teach, a set of Yang style Taijiquan, he spent two hours I learned half of it.

He threw a sentence and went to sleep: "I will continue to learn tomorrow, I will learn it in three days, and I will learn it in three months."

Shi De guessed a little bit of Master He's thoughts, and he said honestly: "Strive for two internal scholars."

For the past week, the wind and waves were calm, and the days were as peaceful and quiet as the sunshine in early summer.

Three days later, when Shi De entered the first hospital of the city for more than two months, a major turning point finally appeared-a major event happened in the first hospital of the city, and a person who made a sensation in the hospital was admitted to the hospital, let alone Even the dean was alarmed, and even the director of the Municipal Health Bureau came out in person to participate in the formulation of the treatment plan.

The person who can make the health director look like a great enemy is definitely the leader of the municipal party committee, and the leader of the municipal party committee who can decide his future is none other than Huang Zixuan, the top city official in Shancheng.

In fact, Huang Zixuan is not seriously ill, just indigestion, early satiety, belching, and loss of appetite. Under normal circumstances, he does not need to be hospitalized, but with the persuasion and insistence of secretary Guo Weiquan, he finally decided to stay in the hospital for a period of observation.

Guo Weiquan is the secretary of a high-ranking city official. As the secretary of the No. [-] figure of the municipal party committee, he is called the chief secretary in order to distinguish him from the secretary of the mayor, deputy secretary and deputy mayor.As soon as the news of Wang Da Mi's arrangement of Huang Zixuan's hospitalization spread, it caused a lot of turmoil in the municipal party committee.

Is a dyspepsia worth hospitalization?In the officialdom, who does not have digestive problems?Moreover, it was at the time when the municipal party committee was rumored to be adjusting personnel and put down the heavy work at hand and went to the hospital. I was afraid that the cause of indigestion was not caused by food, but by some people and some things.

Indigestion is not food, but people.

The rumors released to the outside world were hospitalizations for observation for a period of time, not the condition, but the reactions of various people from the municipal party committee.

A senior city official was hospitalized and naturally had to live in a senior cadre ward. Coincidentally, Shi De was arranged to be a nurse.However, within three days of Huang Zixuan's hospitalization, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit him. As a nurse, Shi De, let alone taking care of himself, didn't even see Huang Zixuan's face.

On the fourth day, there was another group of visitors. Among the crowd of visitors, most of whom had only seen him on TV, and had never had close contact with him in reality, except for one person— Yue Guoliang.

Shi De also knows that the people who are qualified to visit Huang Zixuan are all the top people in a single city, and the visiting time is determined according to the level and influence. With the level of Deputy Mayor Yue Guoliang, he is actually ranked On the fourth day, one is to explain the small single city with many deputy department and department officials, and the other is to explain the importance of Yue Guoliang in Huang Zixuan's mind and the influence in the single city even though he is the deputy mayor. , is indeed weak.

After visiting Huang Zixuan, when Yue Guoliang was about to leave, he deliberately shook hands with Shi De and whispered, "I'll sit at home tonight and listen to your historical stories."

Shi De smiled humbly: "Okay, I'll go after work."

Yue Guoliang said nothing, patted Shi De's shoulder, and turned to leave.Although Yue Guoliang was only a general deputy mayor, a deputy mayor deliberately stopped for a nurse and whispered something, which not only aroused the discussion of many nurses, but also attracted the attention of the senior management of the hospital.

Guo Weiquan and Guo Da Mi also had a panoramic view of the scene just now because of the reason for sending Yue Guoliang. His eyes stayed on Shi De for a few seconds, and there were meaningful contents in his eyes.

Last time, Yue Qingying had already said that she wanted Shi to sit at home. Later, I don't know who forgot about it, and Yue Qingying didn't mention it again.If she didn't mention it, Shi De certainly wouldn't take the initiative to ask. When he asked, he became timid, as if he took the initiative to approach Yue Guoliang, but it took a week to pass.

Unexpectedly, when Yue Guoliang borrowed to visit Huang Zixuan in the hospital, he personally mentioned this to Shi De, which showed his importance and expectation for the dialogue with Shi De.

Could it be... Huang Zixuan's hospitalization is a political signal?A big question flashed in Shi De's mind.

After get off work, Shi De came to Yue Qingying's office, Yue Qingying glanced at him, didn't speak, just nodded, picked up the key, and walked out of the hospital door with Shi.

Arriving in front of the car, Yue Qingying handed the key to Shi De and sat in the passenger seat: "You drive, I'll take a break."

Shi De was not polite and sat in the driver's seat.Recently, he not only learned Tai Chi, but his driving skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. Now, whenever he has something to do, Bi You will definitely let him drive. As a man, Shi De also likes the feeling of driving.

"The local discussion is over." Yue Qingying said that she was tired, not pretending, she really looked tired, she leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, giving people a strange sense of beauty, "Li Sanjiang The place I was looking for was indeed good, but the price the other party asked was too high and the conditions were harsh, but fortunately, I finally got it.”

After the location of the antique shop was finalized, Yue Qingying sent people to negotiate. Shi De didn't pay attention to how the negotiation process went. He thought it was a matter of hand, but he didn't expect the process to be so difficult. There are always unexpected troubles.

"Thanks for your hard work." Shi De comforted Yue Qingying, and then asked, "If the renovation takes a month, it will be ready for business in July or August?"

"Almost, I can catch up with the construction period, the sooner the business opens, the better." Yue Qingying glanced at Shi De suspiciously and remembered something, "It doesn't matter if you are an orphan, don't even have one or two trusted friends? No? There is no trustworthy person around me, if you have one, arrange to go over and supervise the decoration. "

"I think about it." It's not that Shi De has no trusted friends, but that he hasn't contacted his former classmates and partners since his business failed miserably. When Yue Qingying mentioned it, he thought of one person, "I have a young boy. My name is Huang Ziheng, and now Shancheng is doing sales, let him come over to supervise the decoration, and arrange for him to be a lobby manager after the antique shop opens..."

Yue Qingying was a bit colder, but one of her biggest advantages was that she was not suspicious of her employer. She believed in Shi De [-]%, waved her hand and said, "You can make arrangements, if you think it's okay, I don't need to check."

"By the way, do you have a general direction for the future business of the antique shop?" Yue Qingying said again about the business, "It was my idea to open an antique shop, but now the more I think about it, the more I think it will be in the future. The way of business is not easy, and the market in a single city is too small..."

Shi De was stunned, and Yue Qingying was too impulsive. He dared to invest tens of millions to intervene in the antiques market before he had completely determined the business direction and ideas. He was too bold, and his courage was too amazing. He was almost speechless.

Fortunately, he had a general idea about the future business direction of the antique shop, so he said: "There are, but they are not yet mature."

"Don't worry about being mature or immature, tell me quickly." Yue Qingying grabbed Shi De's arm, not knowing whether she was excited or looking forward to it.

The car swayed a few times, causing the cars to the left and right and behind to whistle for a while. Yue Qingying realized the gaffe, blushed, released her hand and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, but don't be so scary in the future." Shi De smiled and said, "The antique market in Shancheng is indeed too small, mainly because the economy in Shancheng is not developed enough. Antiques, like jade, are luxury goods and wealthy. To a certain extent, there are too many spare cash in hand to buy goods, or collection, or investment, etc. Obviously, the economic development level of a single city has not reached the level of supporting an antique market."

"But it doesn't matter. Since you have decided to open an antique store, you have to find a way to open up the market and create a market. You might as well change your thinking and open the antique store as an antique auction house. It not only buys and sells antiques, but also auctions the antiques entrusted by customers. Kill two birds with one stone.”

"It's interesting, continue talking." Yue Qingying's eyes lit up, and her expression relaxed a lot.

"The above is not enough to maintain the normal profit of the antique shop. The antique industry is too deep. Even if you have a pair of eyes, you can't understand the world's treasures. Of course, the purpose of our antique shop is not to collect the world's treasures, but to Profit. It’s just that ordinary people in a single city do not have the ability to buy and collect antiques. Could it be said that no one collects and buys antiques in a single city? Of course not, in fact, there are many people who collect and buy antiques in a single city, not only Yes, and there are quite a few."

"Who?" Yue Qingying was aroused by Shi De, and looked at Shi De with infinite anticipation, "Don't be rude and say it in one breath, it's not a good person to make people's appetites."

"Officials at the deputy director level and above!" Shi De had business experience after all, and he was active in thinking. He said with a smile, "Gift giving is a kind of knowledge. Giving cash is too eye-catching and dangerous. Giving souvenirs is hard to get out. Giving a house and car is too big and too unsafe. Besides, the house can’t be taken away, and the leader has a special car and doesn’t need a car, so what is the best gift? Antiques.”

"Antiques are priceless and inconspicuous. Just a vase. It is said to be worth 30 yuan, which is right. It is said to be worth 30 yuan. As long as someone buys it, it will be fine. Thousands of dollars are hard to buy. I like it. Antiques are like jade, priceless. How much is it worth, who judges the value? The buyer judges. Who is the buyer? The gift giver.”
