1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 190 New friends!
On the last day of June, Xia Tian and Milan Dachun went to the station to see Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, Guo Xiaozhen and others off.

The first two-month training session is over. I’m going home to rest for a while.

We are waiting for the second training class to start, and then we will start the formal filming.

And just as they were seeing their friends off to the station in the summer, bidding farewell reluctantly, the chief engineer also proposed today to "build a distinctive..."

It is also a small node of the times.

At the same time, the Publishing Bureau issued a notice today to revise the royalties.

Manuscripts are charged 6 to 20 yuan per 4 words; translations are charged 14 to yuan per words. This will be implemented starting next month!
When can we increase the price?
In July, Xia Tian saw a novella in "Magic City Literature" - "The Chess King", written by Acheng.

The novel received rave reviews and caused quite a stir as soon as it was published, and was later considered the pioneering work of root-seeking literature.

"He is such a genius, but he was born at the wrong time. He should be cultivated by the country and become famous all over the world. He shouldn't be left in such a miserable state..."

While Xia Tian was still savoring the words of "The Chess King", Fang Yan and his friends also did a big job for Xia Tian!

Are they going to resign en masse and go to Guangzhou to sell color TVs? !
Xia Tian: How many dishes do you have to drink like this? Are you talking nonsense?!

Turns out they were serious!

Ye Jing, Fang Yan, Xu Xun, Qiao Qiao, Li Bailing... and two people Xia Tian was not very familiar with.

Milan knew some of them, "They were all children from the compound, and some were even relatives."

Maybe it was the spring breeze that intoxicated the tourists, making them feel that they had a place to display their extraordinary talents!
As a friend, Xia Tian still advised her.

His friends have been there for several years, so they are naturally familiar with these things.

In the beginning, it was extremely difficult to gain a foothold. This was when some people had money.

Are you guys going to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

How huge must the profits of color TV be? How complicated must the origin of the profits be?
If you guys go there, aren't you going to deliver the takeaway?

If you can all make this money, there would be no barriers to entry!

I don't know who fooled me, but I was tempted when I heard that I could make money.

I've only seen wolves eating meat, but I've never seen a wolf being beaten!

Besides, why would you, a bunch of people from wealthy backgrounds, join in the fun?

Even if he really wanted to start a business, wouldn't it be more convenient in Yanjing? Did he really want to prove himself? !

But persuasion doesn't work!
The passion to succeed cannot be suppressed!
Xia Tian asked: "What about your restaurant?!"

Ye Jing: "Hey! Let's do this for now! You take a look and we'll talk about it when we come back!"

Xia Tian: Look at your grandma’s legs!

The dialect is more direct: "The restaurant is not making money anymore!"

Nonsense, free meals every day, is that a restaurant? That's a charity!
Half of the young men from the big courtyards in Yanjing are coming here to eat and drink for free!

Xia Tian: Good luck to you!

I left home when I was young and returned when I was old, and I always wanted to go back home as soon as we parted.

I just hope nothing happens to anyone, after all, the situation is complicated...

I’m too lazy to pay attention to them in the summer. The blisters on my feet are all caused by walking. You don’t know how difficult it is until you experience it!

Just go for it, and you’ll know what’s good and what’s bad after you fall a few times.

There was no other choice, so Xia Tianmi and the others saw them off at the train station.

The guy's face was full of energy, and he almost said: Wait until my brother becomes rich~
Seeing the train start, Liu Huiyuan curled his lips and said, "What a bunch of unlucky people! Fatty Wu, let's go!"

Liu Huiyuan said goodbye to Xia Tian and the others, got on his bicycle and left.

People have a stable job in the company, so even if they want to leave in the future, they have great connections.

wise.

……

In the summer, I looked at every stall on the antique street. There are not many good things now, and fakes are quite rampant.

The number of genuine goods you can see on a stall is in the single digits, and they are often very common items.

He squatted there and watched, and a group of people gathered around him and looked at him.

When one person is put down in the summer, a group of people sigh.

Xia Tian was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "What are you doing? You are upset to see me not fall for it, right?!"

A middle-aged man on the side immediately greeted him with a smile: "How could that be? We all came here because of your reputation. We feel bad when we see you don't even like anything. It's getting harder and harder to find things here now..."

The subtext is that there are too many fake things and everyone's morale is very low.

In the summer, I left the antique street with a pair of walnuts in my hands, but there was really nothing I liked.

However, when I went out on the street, I suddenly saw an acquaintance!
Before he could consider whether to say hello, the other party saw him.

"Xia Tian?!" Ding Sitian waved to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian walked over and said, "Oh, Sister Ding, what a coincidence. Where are you?"

Next to Ding Sitian stood a tall fat man, who looked pretty good, but Xia Tian thought he had a bit of a "fighting" vibe. He was the kind of guy who was good at fighting and restless.

Next to the fat man was a tricycle with several cardboard boxes on it containing tapes.

Is this for buying tapes?

Cassettes are really easy to sell these days, but singing doesn't make any money - you can only earn a labor fee, no commission. "Ding Sitian, is this your friend?" the fat man asked.

Ding Sitian smiled and nodded: "I'll introduce you."

"This is Xia Tian, ​​a good friend of my brother, and a great help to our family."

Xia Tian quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't mention it, it's all in the past."

Then she introduced the fat guy, "This is our comrade from the time we went to the queue! Wang Shengli!"

"Hello, hello!" Xia Tian shook hands with the other party.

The fat man was a little bit more cautious and used a little more force with his hands. The result was...

"Hey, Fatty, what are you doing?" a voice came from afar.

A young man who was less than 30 years old but looked very mature and steady walked over.

He has a handsome appearance, walks steadily, and has a military temperament. He is the kind of person who has been tempered in the army.

Xia Tian even felt that there was a bit of gunpowder and blood on him, and he might have been on the battlefield.

"Come here quickly! Look who this is?!" Wang Shengli took the opportunity to let go and pointed at Ding Sitian.

Wang Shengli: Hiss~ This guy has really strong hands!
Not to mention the precious friendship forged through fighting against heaven and earth, the three of them were so happy and excited that their faces and eyes were red.

It’s not a big deal if there are just four of us standing in the middle of the road, right?
Besides, if Wang Shengli were seen carrying several boxes of tapes by the management, he would be chased for a long time!

Plus, Xia Tian was quite interested in the two of them, so he suggested that they have a meal together to get to know each other.

……

Four people were having mutton hotpot. Xia Tian ordered ten plates of mutton and started eating first.

Wang Shengli: "Comrade Xia is righteous!" The chopsticks were full of meat as soon as they were picked up!
Start by drying the meat rapidly, then slow down after ten minutes and start eating and drinking.

As the saying goes, when drinking with a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough; when drinking with a friend, one should keep it to oneself.

Commander Hu, whose full name was Hu Jianjun, was more restrained, while Wang Shengli was having a great time eating, drinking and chatting.

That's really like pulling open the collar, setting up the dragon gate formation, and saying it with click, click.

He talked about his childhood when he was sent to work in the Northeast, and then about the dangers he encountered when he went to the grassland to find Ding Sitian and the others...all over the world.

Hu Jianjun also became a little interested and told about some strange things that happened to him in the ice and snow when he joined the army and served as an engineer in Kunlun Mountains.

This guy can tell stories, and his stories are full of twists and turns and fascinating.

At the end, the two also talked about their current situation.

Both of them were discharged from the army, but they both went into the sea.

Fatty Wang was selling some tapes in Yanjing, battling wits and courage with the management. Old Hu was still confused.

Xia Tian also knew why Lao Hu came back - he had been promoted to company commander and was on the front line!

The result was that he avenged his comrades, killed a few captured monkeys, and then was demobilized.

Xia Tian was immediately in awe. Even though he didn't drink much, he raised his glass to toast him and secretly praised him as a "good man"!
Since we know each other, get along well, and even admire each other, I will help if I can.

Xia Tian said, "How about I ask around for you guys? Do you have any ideas?"

Fatty Wang drank a little too much, but Lao Hu was still sober and felt very embarrassed - they just met, how could he ask someone to help him find a job?
He said, "Well, we have some ideas. My ancestors were Feng Shui masters, so I know a little about antiques. We met a man with a golden tooth in Panjiayuan, and we plan to..."

Xia Tian was stunned and asked, "Big Gold Teeth? Dong Lei?"

Xia Tian actually knew a man with a gold tooth in his mouth. He was not very old, only in his twenties, but he was already a veteran.

The shop is right next to Panjiayuan. I came to Beijing a few years ago.

He has some good stuff on hand, but many of them come from the ground. Xia Tian thinks he might have some relationship with tomb robbers.

Xia Tian was deeply impressed by him, mainly because he looked very similar to Feng Kuazi, at least 70% and a half similar.

He also teased Feng Kuzi in the letter: He is your long-lost brother!
Unexpectedly, the two of them found his way?

Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "You want to go into the antique business, this is a good choice. Life will get better and better in the future, and the antique market will rise. In troubled times, there is gold, and in prosperous times, there are antiques!"

Hu Jianjun is a smart man, he was waiting for "but".

Sure enough, Xia Tian continued: "But, Dong Lei is not a good choice..."

Hu Jianjun asked, "How do you explain this?"

Xia Tian said: "He should have contact with some shady people, and the origin of some of the goods may be hard to say. It's okay to contact him normally, but if you work with him, you may be implicated in the future..."

"If it's not too much trouble, I can help you out in the antique business."

Summer has shown us a way to “collect old things”!
Just last month, Xiaodong was collecting old home appliances and recruiting "salesmen" to repair electrical appliances. He was "forced" to accept an antique jar!

At that time, the old lady insisted on selling the broken radio together with some old items at home. As a result, Xia Tian found a porcelain jar from the mid-Ming Dynasty among them.

It was placed in the corner at that time. If it hadn't been discovered in the summer, it would have been thrown into the trash can in the afternoon.

I don’t know what kind of pickles were in that jar, it was not preserved properly and the smell was so bad that it made my nose swell!
It took several days of soaking in the summer to finally get the jar soaked.

At that time, there were still a lot of good things among the people. Many of the things on the antique street were collected from the countryside and among the people.

Few people know about it these days, and no one thinks it has any value, so those who get there first can make a fortune.

Everyone doesn’t like the plot of Dream of the Red Chamber?
I thought there would be more emotional foreshadowing.

Okay, I will speed up as soon as possible and head straight to the entertainment era...
