After Liu Botao met Chunming, he was not satisfied with Chunming.
First, Chunming’s job was not good. The staff of the archaeological team are digging and digging in the ground every day. What great achievements can they make?
Secondly, Chunming’s style is not good. To do big things, you have to look like you are doing big things. Xiangjiang people are very particular about this. Even if you are so poor at home that you eat instant noodles every day, you still have to dress up beautifully when you go out so that you can be respected by others.
Chunming's clothes were rustic, and he also looked down upon Chunming, who moved around in a careless manner and had a playful smile.
Although Chunming has a big business like Jin Manying, he can be considered a millionaire. But after all, Liu Botao has a net worth of tens of millions. Moreover, in his opinion, Chunming is rich because of Xiang Nan's support.
In other words, Xiang Nan is the powerful one, not Chunming. He just took advantage of his friends. Therefore, Liu Botao looked down upon him and persuaded Su Meng to kick him.
"Mengmeng, listen to uncle's advice. Han Chunming has no big future, so don't be with him. Uncle will help you find a better one later." Liu Botao advised Su Meng.
Fortunately, although Su Meng acted arrogantly, she was not a money-grubbing person. So after hearing what my uncle said, he didn't agree.
"Uncle, you don't know Chunming. In fact, Chunming is quite good. You will know after you get in touch with him." Su Meng advised.
Seeing his niece say this, Liu Botao could only nod his head, "That's okay, then we'll just wait and see. Sooner or later, you will know that this person is not good at all. If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see."
…
Han Chunming is a very smart person. Uncle Su Meng looked down on him, of course he could tell.
For this reason, he also held his breath and wanted to make a show so that Liu Butao could take a look.
Therefore, when Yang Huajian asked him to buy shares and go to the south to sell cars, Chunming thought about it and really agreed.
After Xiang Nan found out, he gave him a few words of advice.
"Chunming, in the smuggling car business, you can make money, but it's too risky. Isn't it good that we are doing this now? Why do we have to take risks?" He said sincerely.
Jin Manying now earns nearly one million yuan a year, and in a few years, the turnover will be doubled several times. Because the country carried out wage reforms in 1985, workers' wages have been significantly increased.
The wages of apprentices increased from 17.5 yuan to 50 yuan, and the wages of general workers increased from 36 yuan to 120 yuan. A full professor like Xiang Nan can earn up to 1,800 yuan a month.
When everyone has money, the turnover will naturally increase. So don’t expect Liu Botao to take advantage of tens of millions now. In a few years, Chunming will be richer than him. Therefore, it’s really not worth taking the risk.
"It's okay. I'm not taking the risk alone. Don't forget that there is Yang Huajian." Chunming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe him."
Xiang Nan curled his lips.
Yang Huajian has the ability, connections, and background, but if something goes wrong, even if he has great hands and eyes, he will still have to be punished by the law. This is no joke.
But after he tried to persuade him twice, Chunming still refused to listen, and Xiang Nan didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Each has his or her own fate, and it is impossible for him to look after him for the rest of his life.
…
Half a month later, Chunming and Yang Huajian really shipped a large number of cars.
The two also planned to give a crown car to Xiang Nan, but Xiang Nan refused.
He didn't want to drive a car of unknown origin. When Chunming saw that he didn't want it, he gave the car to Su Meng.
Su Meng is very happy and drives to and from get off work every day.
She was always a person with a good reputation, but in 1985, driving a Crown car to work made her the center of attention. Even the Director of the Education Bureau did not have such a reputation as her. She was naturally beautiful.
So happily, Su Meng also agreed to marry Chunming. This made Chunming overjoyed and made both Su and Han heave a sigh of relief.
Su Meng and Chunming are both thirty years old. On Xiang Nan's side, the child is already two years old, but they are still in trouble, which naturally makes the family anxious and becomes a worry. It's really great that they can get married now. Therefore, the courtyard was filled with joy.
Liu Botao took a negative attitude towards this matter. He still insisted on his opinion that Han Chunming had no future, and his niece followed him and was destined to be unlucky.
However, no one listened to his opinion. Su Jingxuan hated that he kept talking about money, so Liu Botao could only do nothing.
…
"Jianjun, Su Meng and I are getting married on May 4th Youth Day. You must come to the wedding banquet." Chunming said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there." Xiang Nan nodded.
He is different from Cheng Jianjun. Cheng Jianjun is jealous of anyone he sees as good, but Xiang Nan is not so narrow-minded. Besides, after dating Chunming for several years, he felt that Chunming was really good.
He is sincere to people, loyal to his buddies, and there is no need to be defensive when dealing with him. Because his heart is upright and he has no evil intentions. Now that Chunming is getting married, of course he will go to congratulate her.
"It's not easy. Chunming and Su Meng, after so many years, are finally consummated." Cai Xiaoli said with emotion after hearing about it.
"Yeah, I hope they can really get together this time and nothing will happen again." Xiang Nan prayed for them again.
Because in the play, every time the two of them want to be together, all kinds of things go wrong. As a result, the two of them always couldn't be consummated due to a strange combination of circumstances.
…
In the next half month, Xiang Nan released his new work "Emperor Kangxi", which caused a strong sensation nationwide once it was released.
Different from orthodox historical biographies, "Emperor Kangxi" has a strong acting color and exaggerates and fictionalizes history to a certain extent.
And in this way, it also makes the story more vivid and interesting. The plot is majestic and the characters are deeply portrayed. There are battlefields filled with smoke, an unpredictable palace, officialdom with intrigues, and a sincere emotional life.
Therefore, after its launch, it was naturally very popular and well received.
People's Literature Publishing House first printed one million copies, and all of them were sold out in less than a week. I had to print it again to meet everyone's needs.
This is naturally a good thing for Xiang Nan.
Moreover, what made him even more happy was that at the end of 1984, the Ministry of Culture once again increased manuscript fees.
The price per thousand words for a manuscript has increased from 3 to 10 yuan to 6 to 20 yuan, and for a translation manuscript has increased from 2 to 7 yuan to 4 to 14 yuan. It has doubled than before. Moreover, the remuneration for print runs has also increased significantly.
In this way, Xiang Nan's sales will be more profitable.
The book "Emperor Kangxi" alone brought Xiang Nan an income of millions. In 1985, this income was absolutely incredible.
…
On Youth Day, May 4th, Chunming and Su Meng held their wedding in Quanjude.
Xiang Nan and Cai Xiaoli took their daughters there early.
And everyone who saw him rushed to say hello. After all, he is really powerful now, a professor at Peking University and a dignified scholar. Cai Xiaoli is also the deputy section chief of the Finance Bureau. The couple is powerful and considered top households in Yangjiao Hutong.
Everyone sat and cracked melon seeds. Waiting for the arrival of the bride and groom.
"Hey, why hasn't Yang Huajian come yet?" Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, Mao Tutu asked curiously.
Xiang Nan also felt strange. Logically speaking, given his friendship with Chunming, he shouldn't be late.
