The next day, the whole family went to the overseas Chinese store and ran out of money.

First he bought an imported 12-inch black and white TV for 420 yuan. Chen Qi then bought a watch imported from Switzerland, which also cost several hundred yuan. He also bought a pair of sneakers. He didn't want to wear cloth shoes anymore - even red soles.

of.

My parents wanted everything, but were reluctant to buy anything. At their son's insistence, they each bought a pair of leather shoes, a shirt, and a pair of trousers for formal occasions.

They didn't have much need for food and drink, they mainly wanted to keep things fresh. Chen Qi bought a box of tiger penis wine and two boxes of tiger bone wine to honor his father.

Yu Xiuli rolled her eyes, but she didn't object.

He wanted to buy more, but unfortunately there was only so much. Tiger bone wine was okay, but this tiger whip wine would be out of print in future generations. He also thought that one whip cannot produce a bottle of wine, even if the tiger is dead, it would not be enough.

, I don’t know how many bottles a whip can produce, it’s like a turtle spirit.

Before leaving, Chen Qi remembered that he had to buy a camera, but then he ran out of money and had to withdraw it in cash.

Yu Xiuli felt extremely distressed.

In fact, Chen Qi, including his previous savings, has about 15,000 yuan, so he can spend this little money freely.

Those overseas remittance vouchers have a validity period, usually one year, but also three months or half a year. Some families will transfer them to others if they cannot use them all. Another great use of overseas remittance vouchers is to buy building materials.

Those who have a wife to build a house often try their best to get some remittance certificates, lumber, cement, etc., which are in short supply.

"Hey, we can't live with three people? Good guy, why do you want to buy so many things?"

"Forget it, this kid earned some royalties for writing articles about Hong Kong. Wouldn't he be able to get some overseas remittance coupons? He would drag us to buy things, life or death, and he couldn't stop us. Let's go together. Don't let us down.

The child is in full consideration!"

"Hey, TV! Did your family buy one too?"

"Looks great, what size is it?"

"It's not too big, it's only 12 inches. I watch TV at night, so don't be polite!"

The three of them returned to the compound and instantly became the most beautiful girl. Yu Xiuli was majestic and reached the peak of her life. Ever since Chen Qi came here, she had been at the peak of her life a lot.

The neighbors were buzzing around the 12-inch TV, clicking their tongues, and Uncle Zhang was among them, with a false blessing on his face, and his heart was almost beating: That's it, my house is only 9 inches!

What is the concept of this 12-inch?

The iPad Pro is 13 inches, and the Xiaomi phone is a little over 6 inches...

After a commotion for a while, everyone went out, and they didn’t look like this when they went out:

"I wrote articles for Hong Kong, but I would have been caught out a few years ago!"

"Did you hear that her pair of leather shoes costs 20 yuan? Good guy, how lucky is it that you can wear 20 yuan shoes? It's definitely not good!"

She is afraid that her colleagues will suffer, and she is also afraid that they will drive a Land Rover. Yu Xiuli naturally knows this truth, but I gave birth to my son, wore the leather shoes, and enjoyed the blessings. You can only become red-eyed rabbits.

She became more and more happy and said: "Son, what do you want to eat? I'll fry some hard vegetables tonight."

"If you don't want to eat, I have to go back in a while. I have a lot of things to do."

"Don't bother, I'll leave after you finish eating!"

"No, no, no..."

Chen Qi thought it was troublesome and kept shaking his head, and said: "Let the overseas remittance coupons be put at home first. If you need anything, just buy it yourself. Don't be reluctant to spend it. It expires in one year... By the way, is there any plans for the house?"

"This matter is more complicated!"

Chen Jianjun spoke and said slowly: "The central government had some ideas a while ago and approved a document saying that private houses are allowed to be built and purchased. But I inquired carefully and found that the actual situation is very bad.

I went to see a house with two front and back courtyards and a total of 18 rooms. The courtyard was really nice, right over on Gulou Street.

It used to be private, but later it was confiscated and the government arranged for many people to live there.

According to the current return policy, the property should be returned to the landlord. However, the landlord cannot evict those people and must keep them there unless they find a new place to live. Those people will become tenants and pay a few yuan a month.

money rent.

What’s the key point?”

Chen Jianjun is interested in policies and other things, and he talks eloquently: "Those are old houses, all in disrepair, and the homeowners have to bear the cost of maintenance. You said this is a big deal, you can't collect a few yuan, you can't

If you drive people away, you still have to repair their houses.

I see, even if the house is returned, the owner will have to sell it to the public again. I can’t afford it..."

"Hey, don't be critical of politics, don't be critical of politics!"

Chen Qi was startled.

However, this is indeed a legacy issue. From the 1980s to after 2000, the government still held many bungalows. These people lived in them for decades, and their children continued to live in them without any property rights.

"Then can we still buy it?" Yu Xiuli asked.

"Let's look for those smaller courtyards with fewer rooms and shabby ones that people don't like to live in. It would be good if we buy them and repair them and make a set of furniture. Or we can build a house by ourselves, but we need land.

Where can I get some land?"

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time and find out how old I am!"

Chen Qi chatted with his parents about the house, and then returned to Beijing Film Studio with his newly purchased camera, so that he could take random pictures now.

The source of all reforms is based on some kind of contradiction.

Just like liberalizing collective enterprises and self-employed individuals, it is basically to accommodate the huge number of unemployed young people.

The same goes for houses. In the past, houses did not have commodity attributes. They were owned by the public and allocated to individuals to live in. This is actually a welfare policy, but as the population increases, there are less and less houses to divide, and the country is poor and cannot be allocated.

You may invest a lot of money in a house.

Therefore, the commercialization of houses is an inevitable choice. Leaders have long proposed this idea, but the reform is extremely arduous and took almost 20 years to complete, so I won’t go into details about it.

Chen Qi can buy or build a house. He mainly looks at the location. If the location is suitable, it's OK.

…………

China Film Company.

The second quarter film screening is currently being held.

Representatives of film companies from all provinces gathered in the capital. This year's national target is 80 films, an average of 20 films per quarter. They have to watch them within a few days and decide on the number of copies to buy based on their own judgment.

They bought the copies and went back to arrange for film companies at the municipal and county levels to schedule the releases. These days, there are also schedules. Good films will be released during holidays, but they are not as mature as later generations.

There are three types of copies, 35mm, 16mm, and 75mm. The first type is shown in large theaters, that is, cities. The latter two are shown in small theaters or mobile, suitable for township and rural projection teams.

When people talk about the glory of that year, such as "Shaolin Temple" selling more than 400 copies, and how to set records, they always talk about the first type.

If the latter two are included, the number of copies is several thousand.

"..."

At this moment, in the screening room, "Romance in Lushan Mountain", which had been played countless times before its official release, was played again.

Hong Kong and Macao have not yet returned to China, Chongqing is still in Sichuan, and Hainan is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, so they are representatives of 29 provincial companies. It was the first time to watch "Romance in Lushan Mountain", which had been causing a lot of trouble before.

It's really unusual.

If there is any deep thought, there is no such thing, but it is just beautiful, with handsome men and beautiful women falling in love, coupled with beautiful scenery, who doesn't like it?

As usual, each representative has to fill out a form. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are densely populated and have many theaters, so they have always been big buyers of copies.

The representative from Jiangsu thought about his bulk brothers and had a huge headache. The movie was good, so buy more! He thought for a while, filled in a number that he thought was very big, and submitted it. Then he looked around and looked arrogantly at the crowd.

If you buy a lot of copies, it means you have strength.

The representative handed over the order, and the people from China Film Group made statistics on the spot. Their brows became more and more frowned, and their eyes widened. Some people couldn't help but ask: "How many are they?"

"Have you figured it out? Tell me something!"

"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise!"

Someone from China Film Group held a piece of paper and announced the results:

""Love in Lushan Mountain", 35mm copies, 360 pieces!

16mm copy, 2200 pieces!

75mm copies, 1600 pieces!”

Hiss!

The whole audience gasped for Chen Qi.
Chapter completed!
