Chapter 927: The second part of "Li Jianguo" is here
In early May, domestic public opinion was dominated by the Internet Conference. By mid-May, the biggest news was that China and the European Union reached a bilateral agreement in Yanjing on China's accession to the World Trade Organization.
China's entry into the World Trade Organization was an extremely difficult negotiation. From the preparations in the early 1980s, to the review of China's economic and trade system in the 1990s, to the entry into substantive negotiations in the mid-1990s, each step China took was extremely difficult, but also very solid.
Now that a bilateral agreement has been reached with the EU, it can be said that the WTO accession negotiations have made crucial progress. Victory is in sight and the Chinese people are happy.
Until June, for more than half a month, Lin Weimin focused his main energy on the creation of the second part of "Li Jianguo". After going through the initial few days of difficulties, he finally regained some feel for it.
In early June, after three years of preparation, the second phase of the museum and the library were finally open. Lin Weimin planned to just open the museum as normal, but the municipal government insisted on holding an opening ceremony.
Their feelings are understandable. Although the museum and library are Lin Weimin's private properties, they are public properties after all. After their completion, the citizens of Yanjing will have another great place to play and study, and Yanjing will also have two more cultural landscapes.
Lin Weimin came to Mr. Wan's house happily and invited him to attend the opening ceremony of the second phase of the library and museum.
"What's the point of me going there with my old arms and legs?" said Mr. Wan.
"Go ahead, you'll know when you get there!" Lin Weimin blinked at him with a smug smile on his face.
"Why keep it a secret?"
Mr. Wan grumbled, but he went anyway.
The next morning, when Mr. Wan saw the five huge, golden words "Jiabao Library" on the facade of the library building, he felt a huge sense of shame overwhelmed his whole body, and the old man could hardly stand.
Lin Weimin quickly supported him, unable to conceal the smugness on his face, and reminded him, "Don't get excited. You may be happy, but smile modestly. There are so many people here!"
Mr. Wan squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Pick out those two words from above for me!"
"You can't take it home even if you like it. It's public property now. If you really like it, I'll make you a miniature one to keep at home."
Lin Weimin paid no attention to Mr. Wan's mood and continued talking to himself smugly.
"Well, you should be happy to have a student like me. Those who are as famous as you either have literary awards or have set up literary museums, but you have nothing.
We are not bad either, let’s build a library first, and after you leave, I will also give you an award…”
Lin Weimin finally noticed Mr. Wan's glare, and he suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, there is the Jiabao Drama Literature Award. Look at me, I forgot about it. Do you think I should give you another award, or donate some money to them?"
Mr. Wan clenched his teeth and remained silent.
"How about I set up a drama school for you?"
Mr. Wan's teeth loosened; this proposal was somewhat tempting.
"What's the point of having a drama academy? It's not a public institution. It's just a joke." The old man said pretentiously.
"Then get a public one. I'll get it done for you."
"Hmm..." The old man didn't comment, but he couldn't hide his happiness. After a while, he said, "It's very expensive to run a school, so let's just forget it."
"It won't cost much." Lin Weimin waved his hand, and the air was filled with the smell of money.
The teacher and the student chatted for a while, and the "Jiabao Library" shining brightly in the sun didn't seem so dazzling anymore. Instead, it became more and more attractive the more you looked at it.
After the ceremony, the second phase of the museum and the library were officially opened.
Everyone followed the crowd into the library for a visit. The modern venue of tens of thousands square meters is second to none in Yenching in terms of hardware conditions. Even the original Yenching Library and the current National Library are inferior in comparison.
Mr. Wan toured the first floor of the library and said with satisfaction: "It is well built. We should work harder on its heritage in the future."
Lin Weimin responded and asked, "Would you like to go upstairs and take a look? We have opened a 'Jiabao Drama and Literature Area' specifically for you. It not only has your scripts, but also videotapes of your performances, movies, and TV series."
A huge feeling of shame came over him again, and Mr. Wan felt his body go weak. He quickly waved his hands.
"I'm tired after walking around for such a while. Let's leave it at that for now and come back when I have time." Mr. Wan walked out of the library.
Lin Weimin was a little disappointed. "Then you must remember to come often!"
After listening to his instructions, Mr. Wan quickened his pace as he left.
After leaving the library, the teacher and the student stood on the open green space between the museum and the library, watching the readers and visitors coming in and out of the library. Mr. Wan asked, "This place cost a lot of money, right? There will be a lot of investment in the future."
Lin Weimin nodded. "Yes, it's a lot. It's okay. I can't spend all the money anyway."
Mr. Wan: …
More than a month passed in a flash, and it was already September. The second part of "Li Jianguo" was finally completed.
Lin Weimin had no time to revise the manuscript and was busy with his work again.
After nearly a year, a subsidiary of Guowen Group was listed again.
The company that went public this time was Wencheng Film and Television, but the listing location was changed to Pengcheng Stock Exchange.
On the day of listing, Wencheng Film and Television's stock price soared by 90%, its market value reached 5.2 billion yuan, and its price-earnings ratio was 13 times, which was warmly sought after by the market and investors.
The successful listing of Wencheng Film and Television finally allowed Haiyan to stand up straight within the Guowen Group. At least he felt confident when he saw Yu Dong.
Although the market value is almost there, it is still a listed company after all.
However, the people who are happiest about Wencheng's listing are the employees of Guowen Group.
Before Wenhua Films was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange last year, the group offered benefits to all employees, allowing them to subscribe for stocks internally at a 50% discount. Many employees of the group bought stocks and made a fortune. However, many people were conservative and missed out on this opportunity to make a fortune. When Wenhua Films' stock price skyrocketed after its listing, these people regretted it.
Wencheng Films went public again this year, and everyone said they couldn't miss such an opportunity again.
Since the subscription notice was issued, employees have been enthusiastically subscribing for stocks, fearing that they would be left behind.
The stock price increase of Wencheng Film and Television after its listing was not as exaggerated as that of Wenhua. After all, Wenhua was known as the No. 1 Chinese film and television stock. However, the investment return of more than 300% still made the employees of Guowen Group feel extremely happy.
In one day, 8 millionaires were born in Guowen Group, more than 60 people earned six-figure profits, and thousands of people received at least one year's salary income.
It would be great if the group could have a company listed every year!
Of course, this idea of some employees is unrealistic.
Going public is not the end of a company’s development, but a way to better development. The listing of Wenhua and Wencheng directly led to the great development of Guowen Group’s film and television content creation. Wencheng had just gone public, and the effect was not yet obvious.
Over the past year or so, Wenhua Films' output has made great progress compared to before its listing. The eight films released after its listing have all achieved impressive box office results. These films account for half of the domestic film industry's annual total box office, and have also directly driven the upper limit of the entire box office market, attracting more audiences to the cinema.
At the same time, in the field of film-related industries, Wenhua Film and Television's years of hard work have gradually begun to pay off. The performance of each year has been greatly improved compared with the previous year. It has been upgraded from the original scraps of 1.8 million to an important part of Wenhua Film and Television's total revenue of 15%.
In time, the future will surely bring Wenhua fruitful results.
During this period, the Guowen Group was filled with joy because of the listing of Wencheng Film and Television.
In the editorial department of "Contemporary", the editors reviewed manuscripts for the entire afternoon. As the workday was about to end, it was time to slack off. The topic everyone was talking about today was still the listing and stock price of Wencheng Films.
Last year, when Wenhua Films went public, only half of the editorial department subscribed for shares. When the stock price soared after Wenhua went public, these people regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs.
This time everyone learned their lesson. They were more active than each other in subscribing, and when they chatted, they couldn't help discussing how much money they could make in the end from the stocks they held.
However, although everyone is happy, there are people who like to make things difficult for them. Yao Shuzhi, who had previously advised everyone to subscribe to stocks, would always go all out at this time, mocking and ridiculing everyone, using every possible means.
"Sister Yao, I was wrong. Please stop nagging me."
Just as everyone started chatting, Yao Shuzhi brought up the old topic again and attacked everyone indiscriminately. Yang Xinlan was the first to beg for mercy.
"If I had known that the stock market would rise so much, I would have sold my house to buy it. If I had caught the wave last year, I wouldn't have to worry about selling my house now."
"You can do it, right? It's not like you have no place to live." Yao Shuzhi said.
Yang Xinlan complained: "The family housing is good in every way except the school district. Otherwise, why would my wife and I worry so much?"
As the conversation went on, the topic veered from stocks to houses.
Someone has set his sights on the headquarters building that Guowen Group is currently building. "Hey, do you think we can still get a share of the house after the group's residence is built?"
The land plot on the edge of the East Third Ring Road covers an area of 126,000 square meters, with a planned building area of 600,000 square meters. It is divided into three phases. In addition to the first phase which has three office buildings, the remaining two phases have a large number of residential buildings.
"You are so greedy. You have only divided up the house for a few years!"
"But I heard that those employees who joined the group later will be allocated residential buildings of the group in the future."
"You also said that they came in later. The few houses in the staff building have been divided up in the past two years. When they come to the company, they must have a place to live, right?
What I heard is that the houses developed in the future will be sold to future employees at a discount, but it will definitely not be as cheap as we did back then."
The editors present were all old employees of the Guowen Press. When they talked about the prices of the residential buildings built by JZ, everyone was a little emotional. The price of three or four hundred yuan per square meter was indeed cheap.
In recent years, the housing prices in Yanjing have been changing every year. The housing prices in several districts of the city have generally reached 4,000 yuan. If you want to buy a newly built commercial building, the price will have to increase by half.
Compared to the young people who are now bearing the high housing prices, we are much happier.
While everyone was chatting animatedly, He Qizhi walked into the office with a happy face.
No one was nervous at all about being caught slacking off by the leader, and they didn't even stop talking about the topic they were talking about, which showed a great lack of respect for the leader.
But Old He had already gotten used to it. He raised the manuscript in his hand and said loudly: "The manuscript for the people is out!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the office fell silent for an instant. Then there was a sound of chairs rubbing against the ground, and everyone stood up and surrounded He Qizhi.
Comrade Lao He nodded and said that was right.
“Have you finished writing the second part?”
"So soon? Didn't they say winter was coming?"
Everyone was talking at once about Lao He's questions, and occasionally touching the manuscript.
"Don't move, don't move. It's just one manuscript, don't tear it up."
After waving the manuscript in front of everyone for a long time and looking at their eager eyes, He Qizhi finally satisfied his inner desire for control and distributed the manuscript.
"Please hurry up with the manuscript review. The second part of Li Jianguo should be published in the 10th issue."
Contemporary is a monthly magazine, and the 10th issue is in early October, which is about 20 days away. The schedule is tight. The long stories of Contemporary have always had to wait in line, but this rule is not a problem for writers of Lin Weimin's level.
It has been exactly one and a half years since the publication of the first part of "Li Jianguo". Readers have also been waiting for a year and a half, and now the second part is finally here.
Old He put his hands on his waist and said: Today is really a double happiness.
