All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 297. Chapter 297. Prepare to buy a large number of cultural relics
After seeing off the two uncles, Yue Wenxuan began to think about the repair of this courtyard house.

Although this courtyard house is relatively well preserved, it has been used as an office rather than a home for many years, so there must be many changes that need to be made.

What he needs to consider is whether to refine and make major changes, or to make simple changes.

If this house is going to be used for self-occupation, the interior must be modernized and redecorated, and even the exterior must be extensively modified according to his aesthetics.

If such a change is made, it will undoubtedly be a big project, and the renovation time will usually take two to three months.

If the house is only used as an investment, there is no need to make major changes, and small repairs are enough.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to keep it as it was for the time being.

If there is a chance to win Keyuan, of course he will live in Keyuan when he is in Kyoto in the future.

If it is determined that it cannot be taken down, it is not too late for him to consider decoration.

This three-entry courtyard house, even without any repairs, is already a very good housing for the general public, and there is no problem in living in it temporarily.

He had already noticed during the visit that the two bedrooms in the main room of the second entrance courtyard were very well preserved.

The original furniture inside, including the babu bed and dressing table, are still there, so you can live in it without adding new furniture.

As soon as I entered the main room on the east side of the courtyard, all the furniture inside was also there, including the original Babu bed and dressing table, which had not been thrown away.

The only thing that made him feel regretful was that once he entered the main room on the west side of the courtyard, the original furniture was gone, and there were four single beds in the room.

According to Uncle Guo, this main room is a temporary rest room for middle-level cadres.The original Babu bed took up too much space, so after it was removed, four single beds were added instead.

The other three main rooms are all used as the leaders' rest room, because only one person takes a temporary rest, so the original layout has not been changed.

The reason why Yue Wenxuan felt regretful was because the furniture in these main rooms was made of huanghuali. It would be a big loss if the Babu bed and dressing table in the main room in the west of the courtyard were missing.

Moreover, the huanghuali furniture in the three main rooms is very well preserved. Thanks to the fact that this house has been used by the unit in the past five years, it has not been affected later.

These carved huanghuali furniture with a decadent atmosphere were not taken away and smashed.

The huanghuali furniture in the three principal rooms is Yue Wenxuan's biggest gain after this house.

If these huanghuali furniture can be sold at the peak of the price, I dare not say that if there are too many, at least half the price of the house can still be obtained.

Returning to the guest house of the foreign affairs department, Yue Wenxuan called Director Guo and made an appointment to have dinner with him tonight.

Director Guo didn't refuse, and readily agreed.

There is only one reason why Yue Wenxuan stayed in this guest house on purpose - the guest house of the foreign affairs department can receive and make international calls.

The record has been recorded, and it doesn't matter whether Universal Music can call him, but he must ensure that the executives of Sanshi Investment Company can find him at any time.

Although before he left Hong Kong Island, he had already made work arrangements for a period of time in the future, but the investment company would inevitably have some emergencies that needed to be consulted with him. If he could not be contacted, it would be very troublesome.

Even if the company is fine, every three to five days, he will routinely call to inquire about the progress of the work.

Living in the guest house of the foreign affairs department, it is very convenient to be able to call Sanshi Investment Company at any time.

Moreover, the accommodation conditions of this guest house are also very good. Although it is called a guest house, it seems very inconspicuous, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious in this era, and it is very comfortable to live in.

Although the overall accommodation conditions of the guest house are not as good as those of the Beijing Hotel, it is better than the quietness. In the past two years in Kyoto, Yue Wenxuan will choose this guest house to stay.

In order to show the importance he attaches to Director Guo, Yue Wenxuan made a phone call to order Tan's dishes at the Capital Hotel.

As one of the most prominent examples of government cuisine, Tanjia cuisine is the representative of high-end banquets, unrivaled in this period.

Tonight, Yue Wenxuan invited Director Guo to taste Tan's family dishes, and the attention and compulsion were directly full.

Yue Wenxuan was waiting at the door fifteen minutes earlier, and Director Guo arrived on time on a bicycle.

As soon as we met, Director Guo said without looking outside: "Wenxuan, we are old friends, please treat us to dinner, we can just find a small restaurant, why come to BJ Restaurant?

The food here is too expensive, not worth it! "

"Didn't I make a small fortune and want to show off in front of you? How can I show off if I don't eat at the BJ's restaurant?"

Hearing what Yue Wenxuan said, Director Guo suddenly laughed, "I haven't congratulated you on your record sales yet, and being able to cooperate with a world-class company like Universal Music, you said you made a small fortune, I don't believe that. "

Yue Wenxuan pretended to be helpless and said: "You can't hide anything from you. Others don't know about this matter. Even if they ask, my reply must be that I made a small fortune.

In front of a sensible person like you, there is no need to hide it. Universal Music has indeed given you a lot. I will explain it to you in detail when I sit down later. "

The two sat down in the reserved box. Director Guo knew that Yue Wenxuan had made a fortune, so he was not polite to him when ordering food. He directly ordered his favorite braised shark's fin and braised venison.

Next, Yue Wenxuan ordered: braised abalone, jelly in clear soup, duck with firewood, prawns with arhats, grilled big black ginseng, fish lip in casserole, stewed white fungus and pearl soup.

After ordering the dishes, Director Guo continued to inquire about cooperating with Universal to produce an album.

"A big company like Universal shouldn't be easy to cooperate with, right?" Director Guo asked the point in one sentence.

"These foreign companies, whether they are large groups or small companies, all have the same face of capitalists, and they all want to squeeze a few more oil from me, a worker."

Yue Wenxuan briefly described the signing process, "At the beginning of the negotiation, they only planned to give me a signing fee of [-] mg, and nothing else.

In order to fight for the rights and interests that I personally deserve, I had to form a professional negotiating team, and this was the only way to settle the matter.

The final result is that the signing fee has increased from 50 Mg to [-] Mg.

In addition, according to the different record sales, enjoy different sharing ratios. "

More details, Yue Wenxuan did not mention, he knew that these are not things Director Guo cares about.

Regarding Yue Wenxuan's income from this record, Director Guo had tried his best to guess as high as possible, but he still greatly underestimated Yue Wenxuan's income.

The frightening figure of 50 magnesium yuan had already shocked him, and Yue Wenxuan's shrewdness and determination made him applaud even better.

He asked himself, if he and Yue Wenxuan changed places, he would definitely be confused by Universal Music's signing fee of [-] US dollars, and he should not think about continuing to fight for more rights and interests for himself.

And how did Yue Wenxuan do it?
After being slapped with [-] magnesium yuan, he was able to maintain a clear mind, and even formed a professional negotiation team.

Yue Wenxuan was just one person. Compared with the huge Universal Music, he was really small, but such a small person was able to withstand the huge pressure and fight for such a huge right for himself.

Thinking of the difficulty of this matter, Director Guo admired Yue Wenxuan even more.

He said with emotion: "You are still amazing. If you were to live with another person in a different place, you would never have thought of continuing to fight for more rights and interests for yourself, let alone such an amazingly favorable condition."

"That's not necessarily the case. There are too many comrades in our country who are more determined than me. If they negotiated with Global, maybe the result would be better."

Thinking of Yue Wenxuan holding 50 mg in his hand, and now that the record is selling well, and the follow-up share is still unknown, Director Guo said enviously:

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. In a blink of an eye, you are richer than a capitalist. With so much money in your hand, I really worry about how to spend it for you."

"It's hard to make money, but it's so easy to spend it.

I am a person who likes antiques and art, and now that I have money, I am going to buy more.

Then buy a few more courtyard houses, and the money will be almost enough. "Yue Wenxuan stated his purpose.

Director Guo is a sensible person, he knows the elegant meaning after hearing Xiange, and immediately said:
"If you want to collect antique art, it's not easy.

Most of the cultural relics stores across the country are antiques and artworks, which happen to be under the management of our foreign affairs department. If you want to buy them, I can match you up later.

But there is a premise that you must use foreign currency to buy, as long as you are willing to transfer magnesium dollars back to China, you can buy as much as you want.

If you want to buy a small amount, you can use RMB. I'll save face, and this thing can still be done. "

Yue Wenxuan immediately said: "I have 50 magnesium dollars in my hand, but there are not many RMB. I will definitely pay in magnesium dollars."

"If you are willing to pay with magnesium dollars, it is tantamount to sending results to the cultural relics store. I will contact you tomorrow. You will wait at the guest house. They will definitely come to you proactively."

If Yue Wenxuan used RMB to buy cultural relics, he would more or less get some favors, but Yue Wenxuan was willing to settle the bill with magnesium dollars. If he built a bridge, that would be the favors owed to him by others.

It was only incidentally that Director Guo was approached to buy cultural relics. Even if Director Guo didn't make the bridge, he could go directly to the cultural relics store to get the job done.

Today's focus is on the next thing.

"Director Guo, the Keyuan mansion in Mao'er Hutong is now divided into four parts, do you know which units they belong to now?

If I want to spend money to buy it, do you think it is possible to buy it?Of course, I paid in dollars. "

After thinking for a while, Director Guo said: "I only know that No. 11 courtyard belongs to our foreign affairs department, but I don't know which unit manages the other three courtyards.

I will ask someone to ask you tomorrow, and there will be news soon.

If you pay in RMB and want to buy these courtyards, it will definitely be useless.

But if you pay in magnesium dollars, I think there is great hope.

This year's foreign exchange reserves are very tight, and all units are under great pressure to earn foreign exchange. As long as you have magnesium dollars in your hand, everything is easy to do. "

The reason Yue Wenxuan dared to play Keyuan was because of the extremely tight foreign exchange reserves this year. As long as he was willing to pay in magnesium dollars, at least he could get a chance to negotiate.

"I also know that the country's foreign exchange reserves are very tight this year. It is useless for me to hold so many magnesium dollars in my hand. I might as well find a way to spend it domestically and make some contributions to the country.

But it is really not easy to spend this money in our country. For the time being, I also thought of buying antiques and artworks and a few big houses.

But the scale of the park is large enough, and it costs a lot of money. Buying such a set can beat several sets in other places. "

Director Guo smiled and said, "It's only if you dare to think so. After all, if you have money in your hand, you have enough confidence."

The two were talking, and the dishes they ordered just now were brought up one after another.

There is no one else at the dinner table today, and the two are old friends who have known each other for many years. There is no need to be hypocritical when eating and drinking, and the two eat very comfortably.

Director Guo took a sip of braised shark's fin, and said full of praise:
"There are more than 200 dishes in Tanjia Cuisine, and my favorite is this Braised Shark Fin.

First of all, it is good to select the material. The precious Luzon yellow whole wing is used, and it is completely soaked in cold and hot water, without any fishy smell.

Then stew it with chicken, duck, scallops, and ham soup. It must be simmered on the fire for more than several hours, which is very time-consuming.

After all the essence of the chicken, duck, ham and scallops are stewed in the fins, the resulting shark fins will look like they are now: rich in juice, rich in taste, soft and rotten in the fin meat, and golden in color, thick and fresh but not greasy, extremely mellow. "

Yue Wenxuan also likes the dish of braised shark's fin, but he prefers clear soup and jelly dishes.

After taking a sip, it was indeed authentic, and he couldn't help but comment:
"The clear soup jelly is also very good, the taste is delicious and mellow, the jelly is soft and not broken, very skillful.

I heard that the trick to this dish is to not use alkaline water to raise the hair, but only soak it in warm water to keep the original flavor of the jelly.

After soaking, inject chicken broth, steam it in a basket, then put it into small soup bowls, and serve with clear chicken broth made from chicken, duck, pork knuckle, scallops, and Jinhua ham.

After doing this, it will be as it is now: the soup is as clear as water, the agar-agar is light yellow, and a few shreds of fine Jinhua ham are added into the soup, not to mention how tempting it is. "

"It's delicious, but it's too expensive. If I had to pay for it myself, I wouldn't dare to enter the Tan family hall." Director Guo said truthfully.

"Isn't it just a matter of spending money, you can just find me directly in the future.

Universal gave too much, and it was too much work. All I think about all day now is how to spend the money as soon as possible.

It's boring for me to eat in a restaurant by myself. Only when there is one more person, talking and laughing, can I have a good meal. "

Director Guo immediately said: "My ability is limited, and I can't help you with major matters. I am good at accompanying meals.

If there is such a good thing in the future, just call me. "
