In 1979, the mainland's work efficiency and direction were still very cautious and slow.

As early as April 2, Yin Jun reached an agreement with Yan Dingxian. Qilin Culture Co., Ltd. and the Shanghai Art Film Studio also signed a cooperation agreement, and the signing fee of 2 million Hong Kong dollars was immediately imposed on their account.

According to ordinary rules, this is equivalent to the contract having already taken effect. Just select personnel to come to Xiangjiang.

But things are not that simple.

There is no problem with the Shanghai Municipal Government, but it involves such a large-scale cooperation and cultural cooperation, which has attracted the attention of the above.

I have never cooperated with Xiangjiang in this area before, and cultural awareness issues also need to be considered.

No one can explain whether this will bring us many benefits or the bad impact.

Conservative people have conservative views and their correct thinking, but those who want to open up also have their openness and openness, especially in this era, seeking change is the most important thing.

The saying of crossing the river by feeling the stones has not been taken out alone yet, but many people already have this meaning.

After hearing from Wei Xiaofan, the ministry discussed seven or eight times in Huajing alone, and even the government and courts had two or three informal discussions, but they did not make a complete decision.

In the end, Mr. Wan called a familiar vice president of the court and expressed the strong wishes of the art people here. Then the vice president finally took the board and agreed to let such a large-scale art and animation talents go out.

After a while of dispute, it was already late April. Wei Xiaofan then took the materials to connect with Xiangjiang and applied for a two-way pass for work. It was not until early May that the men and women of the group of men and women set foot on Xiangjiang Island with Wei Xiaofan's company.

In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, all of them are now identities who have left the job from Shangmei Factory and joined Qilin Culture Co., Ltd., but in fact, their organizational relationship has not changed.

The Shanghai market is not a small city, but in 1979, Shanghai was much worse than Xiangjiang, so the elites from the Shanghai Art Film Studios arrived in Xiangjiang and sat in the car for a while. In particular, Le Yiling, who came to pick up the plane, ordered the bus driver to make them go around the Yau Tsim Mong area, which made them even more amazing.

There are not such beautiful buildings in Shanghai, there are many on the Bund, but the streets with high-rise buildings everywhere are very prosperous.

Especially the clothes and various dazzling shops of the people of Xiangjiang make them feel bright.

Fortunately, most of these elites are technical otakus, and those who can be selected are basically people with strong minds and don’t have many ideas.

In fact, some of them, such as the United States, Germany, France, Japan, etc., have also attended exhibitions. The difference is not much different from Hong Kong, so they can be stable.

Yin Jun finally waited for their arrival, and was overjoyed. If Le Yiling had not ordered Yin Jun to be as handsome as a boss and not want him to pick him up the plane, Yin Jun would have followed two buses to the airport to pick him up.

The place that Yin Jun set up for them to welcome them is naturally the famous Fulinmen.

Although Yin Jun had more than 30,000 yuan in one meal, Chinese people paid attention to being friends at the table first, so after drinking, their sense of strangeness was much less.

Especially when I moved into the air conditioner and windows that Yin Jun specially arranged for them, which were arranged by them, which were similar to their home in Shanghai, a sense of familiarity arose and then fell asleep until dawn.

Yin Jun did not drink much wine. When they went to rest, Yin Jun talked with Wei Xiaofan at home.

Wei Xiaofan's alcohol tolerance is not a problem, two or three pounds are not a problem, but he will never drink when he has something to do on weekdays, and he will never drink even when acting or filming. He is very restrained.

After dinner, when he returned to Yin Jun's apartment, Wei Xiaofan shook his head first, "Jun, your house is so small! Even my bedroom is not as good as my bedroom... Let me tell you, the house built by my family is at least 4,000 square feet, with a total of three floors, and there is a large courtyard outside. It's really not too spacious!"

Yin Jun smiled, "Brother Wei, if you want to say that uncle and aunt have a good vision, you have built a house now. If you encounter any demolition or relocation in the future, you will not be able to compensate your family for ten or eight units?"

Wei Xiaofan has been in Xiangjiang for so many years, so how could he not know what demolition is? Seeing this, he smiled, "I don't want them to demolition. As it is now, there are neighbors around him and familiar places everywhere, which is quite good."

"The development of cities cannot be changed. For example, Huajing has not yet begun to divide the Fourth Ring Road, right? I think it will be soon." Yin Jun said, "At most twenty years, your place will be considered a city area. As people from all over the country run to Huajing, in thirty years, maybe the fifth Ring Road of Huajing can be built."

"How is that possible? Such a large place! When our village goes out, it is basically a rural area." Wei Xiaofan said in disbelief.

Of course he could not imagine that with the progress of reform, opening up and opening up, the development of Huajing would be so rapid.

Yin Jun didn't say much to him, and instead said, "By the way, didn't your uncle and aunt introduce you to your girlfriend? How about it, have you found the right one?"

"Hey, stop talking!" Wei Xiaofan was a little confused when he mentioned this. "I've only been back for a week and I have met dozens of girls. If I want to say that the conditions are good, there are really a few, but I don't have any feelings for them. I think this is like an arranged marriage."

"I can't tell, you want to pursue freedom of marriage, too." Yin Jun joked, "How about you go back to Xiangjiang? There are not too many girls here who are willing to date Lord Bao."

"Forget it, I still like my family a little bit. Although it is a little simpler, life is not hard now." Wei Xiaofan laughed.

He has always been content with his reputation. Otherwise, with his current reputation in Xiangjiang Baodao and Southeast Asia, he would just go out for a walk, receive a few commercial performances, cut ribbons and social events, and would at least earn millions of dollars, but he would rather return to his current Huajing, that poor place.

Yin Jun also knew that Wei Xiaofan was not at ease with his parents. They were all in their fifties and sixties, and their bodies were not very good. They used to work too much, but now Wei Xiaofan has achieved success and has enough money to live, so he naturally wants to go back and take care of them nearby.

"Jun, this time I brought these talents back to you. I can always rest for a while, right? Don't continue to arrange tasks for me." Wei Xiaofan said helplessly, "My parents are really anxious to hold their grandson."

" Speaking of this, Brother Wei, have you figured out what kind of wife you want?" Yin Jun asked.

"That's it..." Wei Xiaofan thought for a while and said honestly: "I didn't think about it. I originally thought that my parents would make arrangements when they went back, but I didn't expect that not only did I get confused, but I also felt more and more unstable. Although I thought that as long as I could look good, have a good personality, and serve my parents, I was virtuous and kind, I always felt that it seemed like I was a little bit worse."

"This is not nonsense." Yin Jun said with a funny look, "Your standard is to choose a maid to serve the old man and the old lady, not the wife. Choose a wife. The first is to like it, and the second is to be comfortable together. Whether she can serve your family well is different. Maybe you will not be able to bear to let our sister-in-law work so hard at that time."

"How is it possible? Can rural people do not do work? Isn't that laughed at?" Wei Xiaofan said in surprise.

"If this is the case, then why don't you choose a woman who suits their standards?" Yin Jun said, "Brother Wei, in fact, from your heart, you don't agree with their ideas, so you haven't chosen it for only a long time now! You have been to Xiangjiang and know what the most important thing about marriage is. Isn't this a emotional foundation and a good match? As long as these two are appropriate, the wife you choose will be suitable."

"You are just talking lightly." Wei Xiaofan said contemptly, "It's so suitable, please find one for me?"

"Of course it can." Unexpectedly, Yin Jun nodded directly.

"No?" Wei Xiaofan opened his eyes wide.

"It's just something to do with your next stage of work," Yin Jun said, "Although we have these 42 people now, only 9 of them are our employees, and the rest will have to return to Shanghai in two years, so we need to keep replenishing new personnel. Where do these personnel come from? Central Academy of Fine Arts and Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts! There are definitely people suitable for comics in their academy. If you go to these two schools, you will directly spend HK$1 million to sponsor their school funds, and then slowly talk about letting their students come to work in Xiangjiang. Coming to Xiangjiang is equivalent to going abroad. Do you think they will be happy?

Then, during your contact with these two schools, aren’t you going to talk to many teachers about the pros and cons of their students? Can’t you find so many excellent and beautiful female teachers who share common ambitions? They are beautiful, have good figures, are teachers, and are well-educated... If such a woman meets you, she will be a good wife and mother?"

As he listened, Wei Xiaofan nodded repeatedly, and his face almost turned into a ball of smile, "Yeah, you are indeed a scholar, you are really cunning! Yes! I have to choose by myself. When I contact them, I can naturally know what kind of people they are and whether they are suitable... Well, Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts is too far away. It is not so convenient in Lin'an. I have to concentrate on finding the Central Academy of Fine Arts!"

Anyone who doesn't study must like to have a wife who knows knowledge. This will make you feel proud of taking it out and then giving you good genes to your descendants. Those brainless beauties are only suitable for being love children.

Wei Xiaofan didn't read much. He thought that if he had a well-educated wife, they would study art on weekdays, and go and see it by herself when she painted, and she could also listen to it when she sang dramas. This would be great.

Although the college entrance examination began to resume in 1977, it does not mean that no one went to college before this. There were also college students before 1977. However, it was not after the exam, but the children of workers, peasants and soldiers were recommended, so the university is still educating students.

"Don't worry too much time. Just let the first batch of outstanding students come next year at the latest." Yin Jun said, "So you have plenty of time to communicate with them and find your wife in your mind... But Brother Wei, after you go back, you must learn to dress up and not be so honest... By the way, tomorrow I will ask Jiahui to take you to the beauty salon, make a few styles for you, and buy a few more sets of clothes. In the future, you can try to dress up in these styles in Huajing."

"good!"

Wei Xiaofan agreed readily, and naturally he couldn't be so sad for his future wife.

In fact, he didn't know that with his identity as the vice president of the cultural company in Xiangjiang, it would be enough to attract many female teachers who had ideas... Not to mention female teachers, female classmates of the right age would not be impossible to pursue him.

After the main talk, Wei Xiaofan washed up and was about to fall down on the sofa in the living room to rest, but suddenly he remembered something and quickly called Yin Jun, who was writing something in the room inside.

"June, come on, I've brought you a gift this time. I don't know if you like it or not." Wei Xiaofan took out a scroll from his bag and handed it over.

Yin Jun didn't care either. He opened it and saw that the scroll was about two meters long and about one meter wide. There was nothing else on it, just six horses galloping in ink painting.

The six horses each have different expressions, but they are undoubtedly very majestic and lifelike.

Damn it!

A swear word broke out in Yin Jun's heart.

Which Chinese people don’t know the best horse painting in China?

Even Yin Jun can tell who painted this kind of painting with just one glance.

In China, there should be only one person who can draw such an extremely majestic horse with such a large space.

His name

Called

Xu Beihong.

Looking at the signature, "The thirty-five years of spring, the painting of the beautiful horoscope."

The two seals next to them are also the two seals he often uses, "Xu" and "Beihong".

Yin Jun didn't know much about Xu Beihong, but he couldn't resist the wave of national collections that emerged from 2008 to 2015. At that time, there were many things that made him rich overnight. Even Yin Jun watched a lot of collection programs with relish.

If you want to talk about those well-known painters and artists, Yin Jun must not remember that deeply, but Xu Beihong is different. Among the modern Chinese painters, he is definitely among the top ten, which can be compared with Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian.

Qi Baishi likes to draw shrimp the most.

Why?

Because his rule is that one shrimp is counted as one portion of money, and drawing ten shrimps is counted as ten portions of money.

This habit continued directly at the auction. At its peak, Qi Baishi's shrimp was 1 million. If he drew twenty or thirty shrimps on that painting, it would be 20 to 30 million.

Just in time, Xu Beihong's paintings and horse paintings are also the same rule.

Generally, a horse is 10 million yuan. If you draw four horses, it will start at 40 million yuan. If you draw the "Ten Horses in Spring Mountain", the transaction price is 15 million yuan.

Now, although the "Six Horses Picture" that Wei Xiaofan gave to Yin Jun is not a work carefully given to his friends by Xu Beihong, he usually writes many inscriptions on it. Such simple words are for sale... But in the most popular 2021, no matter how much it is, it will be worth 40 million to 50 million, right?

Yin Jun doesn't love money very much, but at this time he couldn't help asking, "Brother Wei, where did you come from this painting?"

"I bought it." Wei Xiaofan said, "Didn't Huajing and Huhai open friendship stores a few years ago? There are a lot of things inside. When I bought good things for those in the American factory, I saw this and went to buy it. I spent more than 1,000 US dollars, which really made me feel sorry for me!"

"good!"

Yin Jun nodded, "Brother Wei, when you go back here, in addition to bringing Hong Kong dollars, you also bring an extra 1 million US dollars. I will make a list for you and go to the friendship shops in various places to see. As long as it is the painter's calligraphy and paintings written on it, and you will buy them all. If it is not enough, I will give you money next year. But remember one thing, every month when there are people from Shangmei Factory going back, you will put the antique calligraphy and paintings you bought into a password box and let them bring them back to me!"

"1 million?" Wei Xiaofan's eyes widened, "No need, there is still a lot of the 500,000 US dollars you gave me last time. In the mainland, the US dollars are more valuable, so I used my Hong Kong dollars and RMB first... Jun, what's the best of these things? Brother Wei just thought about opening your business here and sending you a picture of calligraphy and paintings to hang them in your office. It's really a waste to spend millions of US dollars to buy these."

"What a waste, my Brother Wei!" Yin Jun and him had nothing to hide, "Buy these things quickly while they have not yet increased their prices! After twenty or thirty years, your son will get married. If I give him this "Six Horses Picture" to him, it will be 20 to 30 million!!"

"Blow, keep blowing! Can this be made of gold? It's even more expensive than gold!" Wei Xiaofan stared at Yin Jun, not believing at all, "You don't know the antique collection industry? How is people's living standards now? Xiangjiang is nothing more than this. The mainland has a monthly salary of only fifty or sixty. How could a painting of calligraphy increase so much? It's tens of millions? I can't even think of it! It's only hundreds of thousands!"

"I won't talk nonsense with you. Let's take a look in thirty years." Yin Jun said helplessly, "Listen to me. On the list I gave you, the painters' calligraphy and painting works and antiques, you save a dozen pieces for my future nephew and niece. They will definitely be grateful to you in the future, and you will also say, fortunately you listened to me back then."

Seeing Yin Jun speak so seriously, Wei Xiaofan didn't think he was confused.

A smart person like Xiaojun is probably not so irrational, right? And he can't harm me.
To be continued...
