Hello, 1983

In Liu Qingshan's memory, it was not until decades later that the writer who "didn't like to talk" touched the Nobel Prize for Literature.

But in Liu Qingshan's view, "Ordinary World" is undoubtedly better and deserves more awards.

So last year, he introduced Writer Lu and his elder brother-in-law to Victor. Together with the translation team, he carefully translated both books abroad and published them for sale.

Now it seems that the influence has come out. After all, it is not easy to be nominated.

Liu Qingshan can't wait to make a phone call to Jiapigou now and tell Writer Lu the good news.

However, he still forcibly resisted this urge, sat back in his seat, and calmed down his excitement: "Victor, what else do we need to do next?"

Liu Qingshan's meaning is obvious, just ask Victor if he needs public relations or something.

Victor shook his head: "Everything goes with the flow, maybe there will be a big surprise."

This is true, and there are many such examples: some people have researched important results, and even caused a sensational effect. They thought they could win the award, so they lobbied everywhere, but as a result, they did not even get a nomination.

Especially in the literature award, there is no literature first, but it is not only a tradition in the Chinese literary world, so the literature award has always been the most controversial award.

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to give up. Originally, he was thinking of returning the check for two million dollars to Victor and asking him to use it as a public relations fee.

After talking about this matter, Liu Qingshan called Jiapigou to find his eldest brother-in-law and Writer Lu.

After putting down the phone, he waited for another half an hour before dialing again. This time, it was Gao Wenxue who answered the call:

"Sanfeng, what are you looking for from us? Brother Wang and I are doing farm work together in the field."

Liu Qingshan didn't even notice a smile on his face: these two brothers are really good, so let's go "Morning Hing to deal with the famine, and return with a hoe with moon and lotus", right?

So he smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Mr. Victor just sent me two cheques. Brother Wang's 500,000 yuan and your 300,000 yuan are both in US dollars."

On the phone, there was a burst of hearty laughter, and then, the person who answered the phone changed to Writer Lu:

"That's not bad, Qingshan. Brother Wenxue and I have discussed this money. We won't want it, so I'll leave it with you."

Of course, they knew that during the half year abroad, Liu Qingshan paid for the cost of food and accommodation. In addition to hiring those translators and professors, they spent a lot of money, which was not enough at all.

"This is your manuscript fee, what's the matter with me, I definitely don't want it."

Of course, Liu Qingshan refused immediately. He himself is not bad for this amount of money. The most important thing is that he can't justify it in terms of emotion and reason.

Writer Lu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said:

"Then you can help us donate it to the domestic literature awards, and it will also benefit more writers. At least you can increase the bonus and improve your life."

He had personal experience, and it was precisely because of the Jiapigou Literature Award that he got rid of the predicament of life, and his body slowly recovered.

Writers Lu have never lacked feelings, but they are trapped in the status quo and have been powerless.

Now that he has this opportunity, of course he knows how to be grateful and know how to repay.

"All right."

Liu Qingshan can understand Writer Lu's mood. As for the eldest brother-in-law, is our family still short of this little money?

After talking about the serious business, Liu Qingshan joked: "Brother Wang, and brother-in-law, you two have made me suffer!"

"Qingshan, what do you say?" Writer Lu believed it to be true.

Liu Qingshan glanced at the three cheques on the table: "You have all donated, and of course I have to donate my manuscript fee, mine is two million, and now I feel bad!"

Hahaha!

On the other end of the phone came the laughter of the two writers.

Gao Wenxue grabbed the microphone again: "Sanfeng, the more you earn, the more you donate. By the way, we also have good news to tell you, Brother Wang and I have been notified that our work has been shortlisted for the 3rd Mao Dun Literature. prize!"

This is really good news,

The third literary award is to select literary works from 1985 to 1988.

And this one is also recognized as the most outstanding one. There are two great books on the world and funerals. Now there is more desire for high literature and more stars.

Liu Qingshan first congratulated the two of them, and then smiled: "Then donate the money to the literary award jury committee."

"At that time, you can also get more bonuses."

This joke is a bit funny, and even the people in the room don't feel the corners of their mouths twitching.

"Liu, let's wait until the election is over before donating. Otherwise, wouldn't it be suspected of bribery." Victor also joked.

Not to mention, this order is really important, otherwise, it will be unclear.

The selection of literary works will only start at the end of this year, and it may take a year or two to continue.

In fact, the third literary prize was awarded in the Great Hall in 1991.

It is estimated that this money can only be put away for two years.

Liu Qingshan continued the call: "Brother Wang, I also have good news. Mr. Victor brought it. He said that you have been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Congratulations."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. For a long time, Writer Lu's choked voice came: "Qingshan, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me."

"I didn't want to win the award before, because I even had to borrow money to pay the toll to receive the award, but now, I'm not afraid!"

Hearing these words from the bottom of his heart, Liu Qingshan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and glanced at the three checks on the table, a total of 2.8 million.

Just round it up, three million.

The money should be deposited directly in the bank first, and then donated after the evaluation of this year's literary award is completed.

It is estimated that by that time, the bonus will be increased tenfold at once, from 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan, so that's fine.

Liu Qingshan was about to end the call, but the phone was replaced by two crisp and pleasant voices:

"Brother, brother, when are you coming back, we all miss you!"

The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth couldn't help but turn up: it seems that the fourth and fifth are after lunch.

"Brother, we will go to the capital to see you when the autumn harvest is over, and we will go to see you!" The little trumpet of the fourth child came again.

"Don't, I'll go back after the National Day."

Liu Qingshan hurriedly stopped her, if this little girl said, there must be a way to come.

"Then it's settled, don't go back on it, or let's pull the hook." Across thousands of miles, Liu Qingshan could feel the sweet smile on his sister's face.

Can you pull the hook through the phone line? Well, let's make a verbal agreement.

Liu Qingshan stuck his teeth with the two little girls for a while, until the phone was about to run out of power, and then hung up.

Looking at the time, it was indeed noon, and Liu Qingshan greeted: "Go, let's eat first."

Victor and others came all the way to join us. Of course, we should entertain them well. Besides, they also purchased goods.

Everyone went downstairs together, but found that the store seemed to be more crowded than before, especially in front of the counter selling Songjiang green rice, the people queuing out of the store door.

It turned out that someone bought Songjiang green rice, and it was rumored that it was specially provided for the leaders, so the masses were also enthusiastic.

The price is a bit expensive, but you can buy less, buy a 10-80 catty one, and keep it for porridge.

When Liu Qingshan saw this situation, the salespeople couldn't walk away, so they could only bring the food back to them.

After a busy day, the door closes on time at six o'clock in the evening.

Everyone got together and took stock of today's accounts, and finally the uncle the boss happily announced:

"Our sales today are a total of 358,100 yuan, a good start, a good start!"

That's not even counting the batch of tiger bone wine Victor ordered, otherwise, there would be more sales.

And the old ginseng, which basically accounted for more than half, so the other goods were added together to sell more than 100,000. Liu Qingshan felt that it was normal.

Perhaps as the name of Jiapigou Shanhuo Store slowly spreads, other consumers in the urban area will also be attracted, and the turnover can increase by then.

But other people don't see it that way, Liu Wenjuan seems very excited: selling 150,000 a day, that's more than 4 million a month, how much is a year?

In fact, the account is not calculated like this. On the first day of opening, there must be more. After that, if there is a turnover of tens of thousands of yuan per day, it is considered a lot.

But everyone was happy, and Liu Qingshan didn't disappoint them. Anyway, as long as this mountain goods store doesn't lose money, it's a big profit.

If you don't earn anything else, you will be content to earn this piece of land.

In the evening, it is natural to treat the staff well. Liu Qingshan went out to the restaurant, but was stopped by Liu Wenjuan.

In the afternoon, she was not so busy. She had already arranged for two of her subordinates to buy vegetables and cook, and go out to restaurants every day.

Liu Qingshan saw that there were no outsiders, all of them were native to his hometown, so he nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Secretary Wang and Lao Zhou chatted with Liu Qingshan alone for a while.

After hearing that Liu Qingshan said that after the National Day, they were going to go home. The two of them felt relieved and prepared to go back tomorrow.

Old Zhou originally belonged to the Commerce Bureau. He was a long-term businessman, so he discussed with Liu Qingshan to see if some specialty products from Bishui County could also be shipped to the Jiapigou Shan Goods Store for sale.

Milk powder, fermented bean curd, etc. produced in BR County, these non-staple foods, happen to be in short supply in the city.

Of course, Liu Qingshan nodded and agreed. Even for this transportation problem, large trucks cannot always be used. It is better for the county to come forward and solve the problem of train skins.

After sending his parents away, Liu Qingshan worked at the Shanhuo Store for a few days.

Sure enough, it was almost as he expected, and the sales gradually stabilized at more than 20,000.

With the National Day approaching, Liu Qingshan started to get busy again, because all the people from Longteng Company gathered in the capital one after another, and everyone rushed back to attend Ma Laosan's wedding.

First, on Hong Kong Island, more than ten people came back at once, even the tanned Xiao Wu came back, and brought back a lot of gems by the way.

In addition, Hou San on the other side of Heihe also led his daughter-in-law Anna, who came all the way to drink wedding wine.

Anna's belly has slightly bulged.

Seeing Xiao Wu, Hou San was taken aback: "Five sons, you really didn't stay in Africa for nothing!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed again: "Why didn't you bring a black girl back?"

"Who is as unpromising as you are."

Xiao Wu immediately retorted, and when everyone got together, it wasn't serious anyway.

Hou San looked at Ma Laosan: "Let's not pinch first, the master is here, we are the third youngest, why don't you be the best man?"

"Brother Hou, can we look in the mirror ourselves?" Ma Laosan said with a smile.

Hou San rolled his eyes: "Then it's just right for Qingshan to be your best man."

Ma Laosan took a closer look at Liu Qingshan, and then began to shake his head: "No, no, if Qingshan stood next to me, all the guests would look at him."

It's really hard to serve, not to be ugly, not to be too handsome.

Hou San walked around in the crowd: "By the way, Gangzi, come on, you are neither ugly nor handsome, just meet the requirements."

"Brother Hou, you might as well just say that I'm a public face." Gangzi replied angrily.

Then he pulled Xiaomei beside him: "We've all discussed it. It's not easy for everyone to get together once. Let's just have a wedding with Xiaomei and join in the fun."

When everyone heard it, they applauded loudly, and Xiao Wu looked at Brother Da Fei in the crowd: "There's another pair here, let's do it together!"

It is said that Gangzi and Xiaomei, as well as Da Fei and Li Xuemei, have been together for several years, but the ceremony has not been held, and it is time to do it.

As soon as everyone joined together, the matter was settled like this. In Hou San's words: If you call one sheep, you will chase them, and you will put three sheep.

These shareholders of Longteng, except for the old squad leader and a few who are a few years older, have already married, and the rest are single.

Hou San stood up: "Who else is a bachelor, hurry up, don't delay the next generation!"

Everyone looked at Anna and smiled.

Hou San immediately pointed the finger at Liu Qingshan: "You are the boss, so you should take the lead."

"Qingshan is not a good choice now." Xiao Wu laughed and joked:

"Qingshan, why don't you join the nationality of Lilan? If you can afford it, you can marry a few more. A chief I know, a good guy, has more than 30 wives and more than 100 children. It is estimated that He can't even remember his own son."

Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu: "You kid is always reluctant to come back there, do you have this plan?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately pointed their spear at Xiao Wu, and rushed up to several. Wang Zhan Dingshan and several people pressed Xiao Wu to the ground, and came in the shape of a dirt plane:

"If you don't recruit, hurry up and be honest. Our policy is to be lenient in confession and strict in resistance!"

Xiao Wu also immediately persuaded: "Don't delay the business, quickly send a car to pick up Gang Zi and Da Fei and their families."

That's right, this can't be delayed, so Liu Qingshan hurriedly sent a car to go to Spring City to pick up the relatives of Gangzi's four families.

As for the new house, Gangzi and Fei-ge already had them in the capital. They were both small courtyard houses, and the old Maoer and Shishu helped them around.

And the new house has been renovated, they don't live here for a long time, just buy some wedding supplies.

Anyway, there are a lot of people, and these few are not short on money.

Not to mention, in the past two years, mass weddings have really become popular in big cities, which can be regarded as fashionable.
