In this life, I chose to stay in Makino City, but my parents started pressuring me to get married.
"Let's get engaged first, so Bai Yejin can have a proper status!"
Lin Yifeng had originally planned to teach a physical education class to his students today, but he didn't expect that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when he left home.
It would be too late to have PE class at this time.
"Let's just show the kids a movie."
"No, let's just show the movie to the whole village!"
"I haven't watched a movie in a long time this year. I didn't have much to do anyway, so I guess I'm doing a good thing for the villagers!"
Lam Yat-fung suddenly felt like watching a movie, even though he had seen most of the movies from 1993.
But going back to 1993 and watching an open-air movie with the villagers in Shitou Village felt completely different.
Let's do it!
Lin Yifeng drove his Jinbei minivan to Paishi Village Elementary School. After arriving at the school, he briefly told Bai Yejin and then drove the minivan, buzzing towards Muye City.
There are videotapes of the filming at Shitou Village Primary School.
However, these videotapes were all movies with a patriotic theme, and Lin Yifeng himself didn't really want to watch these movies.
Lin Yifeng had no choice but to go to Makino City to rent a movie videotape from the cinema.
"Once the Pang Donglai branch opens in Makino City, I'm definitely going to build a movie theater!"
"Let's build our own cinema chain, so that when we want to watch a movie, we won't have to go to other cinemas to rent movie tapes!"
Lin Yifeng decided that the next Pang Donglai store must have a movie theater!
The 1993 film exceeded Lam Yat-fung's expectations.
I thought the quality of movies released in 1993 was mediocre, but I was surprised to find that many of the new movies released in 1993 were historically significant.
For example, Farewell My Concubine, Jurassic Park, and The Eagle Shooting Heroes.
These films are all very impressive in the history of cinema.
"Jurassic Park is actually a 1993 movie!"
The next day.
Lin Yifeng watched the Jurassic Park movie videotape and kept clicking his tongue in amazement. Jurassic Park is a big IP. Lin Yifeng thought it was a movie from after the millennium, but he didn't expect it to exist in 1993.
This shows the gap between Chinese and foreign film special effects.
"Jurassic Park, Fight Back to School, Farewell My Concubine..."
Lam Yat-fung selected 20 movies in one go, planning to show one a day until the end of the year.
"Mr. Lin, you've picked out so many movies... I'm a little hesitant to let you take them with you!"
When Lin Yifeng picked out twenty movies in one go, the cinema manager was immediately put in a difficult position.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, which is the most profitable time for movie theaters. Lin Yifeng picked out twenty movie videotapes in one go, all of which were popular and trending movies. This made it impossible for him to explain to his superiors.
"Mr. Lin, our cinema's business is best during the Chinese New Year period. If you take all the movie tapes, we won't have any movies to show..."
The cinema manager explained, and Lin Yifeng thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take three movies with me at once, is that alright?"
"Sure, sure, three at a time is no problem at all!"
When Lin Yifeng said the number of movies had been reduced from 20 to 3, the cinema manager breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Yifeng taking 3 movies, the cinema wouldn't suffer any loss, and he was naturally willing to do Lin Yifeng a favor.
"Okay, then we'll choose three!"
Lin Yifeng unceremoniously took away Jurassic Park, which had been destroyed by fire in 1993.
It takes almost a day to get from the stone village to Makino City. It seems a bit wasteful to spend so much time just to pick up a videotape.
Lin Yifeng thought for a moment and decided to prepare New Year's goods, as well as... things for the engagement.
"I don't think I've ever bought Xiao Jin anything expensive!"
Lin Yifeng thought to himself that apart from buying clothes for Bai Yejin in the morning, he really hadn't bought her anything else.
Taking advantage of the engagement, Lin Yifeng decided to buy Bai Yejin some luxury goods.
"Suzhou embroidery is considered a luxury item by others, but it's not really recognized by the general public. People tend to prefer things like gold and other mundane items."
"We got married in 1993... and we had a 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three main features and a radio)!"
A smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Yifeng's face. In 1993, getting married only required three turns and one sound, but getting married in 2025 would require paying for a car and a house in full!
"Let's buy some tacky stuff first, like gold!"
Lin Yifeng decided to buy gold, specifically over ten kilograms of it for Bai Yejin!
...
With the opening up of the market and the progress of reform and opening up, gold gradually became a tradable commodity.
The most valuable item Lin Yifeng currently possesses is the porcelain he and Bai Yejin found at Jinghua Garden.
But that stuff can't be cashed out in the short term. Twenty years from now, Lin Yifeng might not even need those tens of millions of dollars.
It's better to keep the cheap porcelain you find for decoration.
Besides the porcelain, Lin Yifeng also had a box of gold, which he and Ye Yuqing had picked up in Fujian Province.
Upon recalling this, Lin Yifeng realized that both of his women had brought him enormous wealth.
In 1993, the average price of gold was around 50 yuan.
Actually, buying gold these days isn't the most cost-effective investment. In this era, there are other things that are more profitable than gold.
But Lin Yifeng's purpose in coming here was to get engaged.
