Chapter 27 Spring Festival
Zheng Yan and Tang Hao did not return to Shenzhen City, but went straight back to their hometown in Shanghai. Their parents had already returned to Shanghai to prepare for the New Year.
The Spring Festival is full of the atmosphere. Although there is still a week before the New Year, it is full of joy everywhere. The next day when I returned to my hometown, Zheng Yan was called by his grandfather to accompany him to write Spring Festival couplets.
The old man had no other hobbies in his later years. Since he retired, he has liked to write, play chess, and play flowers and plants. Zheng Yan didn't want to ruin the old man's fun.
Zheng Yan is responsible for grinding the ink, and the old man is responsible for writing. After each copy is written, the old man will appreciate it himself and then let Zheng Yan take it aside to dry it.
"Xiao Yan, how about it? Grandpa's word is OK, right?" The old man seemed to be intrigued, and actually pulled his grandson and asked his grandson to comment on his words.
Although Zheng Yan didn't understand calligraphy, he also knew that the old man's calligraphy was just that. The old man had only been to a private school for a few years, and later joined the revolution and worked. He didn't have time to practice calligraphy. But in order to make his grandfather happy, he still said: "I see that the character you wrote is correct and the ink is evenly placed. Although I don't understand calligraphy, I guess my grandfather has already seen the way of calligraphy."
Although these are all words to praise beginners, the old man was still very happy. He took his own written Spring Festival couplets and read them over and over again.
Next, Zheng Yan, who was idle, got into the study again and squatted in front of the computer every day.
Zheng Yan has too much knowledge of the current era and knows that not only China is undergoing unprecedented changes, but the whole world is also undergoing major events. As long as you grasp the several changes in recent years, you will have the capital to show your strength.
While Zheng Yan is constantly busy, the New Year is coming.
From the beginning of the lights, the sound of firecrackers were heard one after another.
Since the first Chinese Spring Festival Gala was held in 1983, it has been a repertoire of the Chinese people on New Year's Eve in the next decade. The 1987 Spring Festival Gala has already begun to have formal hosts, including Li Moran, Wang Gang, Li Xiaoyan and Jiang Kun as hosts of this Spring Festival Gala.
Although the singing and dancing performances at the beginning did not have the gorgeous stage special effects that later generations were decorated, they were also considered unique.
With the release of China's one country, two systems policy, especially the determination of the return time of Hong Kong City, singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan have also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Hong Kong singer Ye Liyi sang "We Meet and Break Up" and "Give You Tomorrow's Sun". Taiwanese singer Fei Xiang sang "Clouds in Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter".
People in Shanghai have the custom of staying up to New Year's Eve, and the old man went to rest first because he was old.
The next morning, after the New Year's greeting, Zheng Yan called Tang Hao and took his cousin Zheng Peng to the Longhua Temple Fair. The temple fair is also an important traditional folk project. As the former object of the four olds, the Longhua Temple Fair has just flourished in recent years.
All kinds of small vendors set up street stalls and shouted at the pedestrians coming and going. From time to time, pedestrians stopped to bargain. Various sounds were mixed and noisy, and the streets were filled with foodless smells.
Zheng Yan was eating various snacks while strolling. He stopped to watch various programs and juggled from time to time. Zheng Yan enjoyed his current state because he himself didn't know if he would have the chance to stop and enjoy these scenery in the future. Or if these scenery was still there when he had time.
Compared to Zheng Yan's leisure and comfort, Zhao Weimin is in dire straits.
Zheng Yan can hide things from his family’s company, but how could Zhao Weimin hide them?
Since Zheng Yan broke up with his father last time, Zhao Weimin has been avoiding the issue of going home, but during the Spring Festival, Zhao Weimin has no choice but to escape and cannot avoid it.
At Zhao Weimin's home, his father Zhao Yuanshan, his eldest brother Zhao Weiguo and his second brother Zhao Weijun were sitting in his father's study and talking about their work issues during this period.
"Brother Zhao Weiguo is already a deputy director of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance, and he happens to work under his father; his second brother Zhao Weijun is also a squadron leader of a powerful major in a special brigade of the Capital Military Region. But what do you think? He is just a college student. Why are you talking to you? Why are you calling me?" Zhao Weimin thought to himself.
"Weimin, aren't you going to report to me what you have done during this period?"
Hearing his father calling him, Zhao Weimin suddenly came to his senses, "I did nothing?"
"What's going on with the 10 million Chinese coins and 12 million dollars that your company has extra in its account? And what's going on with the batch of equipment your company imported from the United States? And the house under your name, let's talk about it one by one."
When Zhao Weiguo and Zhao Weijun heard Zhao Yuanshan's words, they were shocked. What is the concept of 10 million Chinese coins and 12 million US dollars? As Zhao Weiguo, who works in the Ministry of Finance, knows that many state-owned enterprises now do not have that much profit per year. Zhao Weiguo knew that Zhao Weimin registered a company, after all, he handled it for the management, but what was the money?
"Dad, don't you know? Our company developed a software, and later we licensed the software's overseas patent to Sony in Japan. The money was the first year's patent fee. The batch of equipment purchased was the server purchased by our company. You also know that the reason why we couldn't promote the use of that software in the past was because there was no server. As for that house, the company was established by the four of us. After the money was received, Zheng Yan thought that everyone else would settle down in the capital in the future, so he bought the house directly in the capital. The three of them bought there, so I bought one by the way." Zhao Weimin explained.
"No wonder Zheng Yan was unwilling to invest in the state and developed it by the state-controlled stock. It turned out that he had already figured out a solution." Zhao Yuanshan muttered himself. "Now that your company has money, what are the plans for the next step?"
"At present, our company has recruited 20 sales personnel and conducted systematic training. In addition, we have also recruited a college student who graduated next year as the company's operations manager in the later stage. After all, we still have to go to school. As for product promotion, our plan is to start after everyone returns to the capital this year. After all, the server we ordered has arrived at that time." Zhao Weimin was not vague when talking about the company's affairs. "As for the scope of promotion, we are ready to start from the capital. There are three main reasons. First, the manpower problem. Our company currently has too few staff members and it is impossible for the national market to be fully expanded. Second, the software itself reasons. After any product is launched, problems are inevitable. If it is only in the capital, we can solve and make remedies in time. Third, it is our company's hunger marketing strategy. As the country's political, economic and cultural center, as long as we do the capital market well, enterprises across the country will naturally come here."
Seeing Zhao Weimin who was talking very well, Zhao Yuanshan also muttered in his heart, "Is Weimin really suitable for doing business?"
Dong Chuan, who is also a veteran of the company, has been much more dull during the Spring Festival.
Dong Chuan gave his parents 1,000 yuan when he went home during the Chinese New Year, saying that it was his scholarship last semester. In addition, he told his parents that the tuition fee was also reduced by the school and he would no longer have to worry about tuition fees in the future.
In this way, the 1987 Spring Festival has passed.
Zheng Yan and Tang Hao lived a leisurely and dull life.
Zhao Weimin suffered a lot.
Dong Chuan was most satisfied with his life because of the 1,000 yuan, and his family finally had a relatively rich New Year.
