1980 My literary era

The Chinese Literature Group was established, but currently there are still two teams with the Chinese Literature Society, one set of people, and the main force of the group is still working at No. 166 Chaonei Street.

The group wanted to expand its manpower, and office conditions suddenly became difficult. Lin Weimin had to first arrange a few marginal departments to the store room of the family building to solve the urgent need first.

If this happened in the past, employees would definitely complain.

The people who have been working in the family building have always been children raised by stepmothers. Now that they have gone there, won’t it become a frontier for distribution?

However, thanks to the news that Lin Weimin announced that he would build a headquarters building, everyone knew that they would definitely be able to move into a brand-new office building in the future, so the current difficulties became surmountable.

Lin Weimin, on the other hand, reluctantly arranged the office space for these people in the company, and immediately contacted Yanjing City.

With the development of Guowen Group, it is inevitable that the number of personnel will continue to expand, especially in the future when the group will work together in one place.

The matter of the office building is urgent and cannot wait any longer.

The day before Laba, Lin Weimin was surrounded by a bunch of people, including people from Guowen Group, Yanjing City and Chaoyang District.

We were standing on a high ground near the intersection of Jianguomenwai Street and the East Third Ring Bridge. The head of the city planning department pointed to a residential area south of the bridge.

"Chairman Lin, look at that residential area. It is one of the CBD business districts planned by us in Yanjing. It is opposite the Guomao International Trade Center in the north and south, and the supporting facilities around it are also being built. In the future, every inch of land will definitely be at a premium. It’s next to the Third Ring Bridge and close to the subway.”

Lin Weimin raised his eyes and looked at the residential area in front of him. This area seems to be the territory of Jianwai SOHO in the future, right?

This place is bounded by Guomao to the north, Tonghui River to the south, and East Third Ring Road to the east. It is indeed a good place, and the most important thing is that it is very close to the family building of the Chinese Literature Society. The straight-line distance is less than 1 kilometer.

"Not bad, not bad, it's a good place."

Lin Weimin said this, swiping his fingers in the air and asking, "How big is this place?"

"According to our mapping data, there are 12.28 hectares."

That is, 122,800 square meters is not bad, and it is definitely enough to build the headquarters building.

"I think this place is good, so sell it to us."

People from the government were a little surprised, "You want them all?"

"What? No?"

"No, no, I was thinking that this place is too big..."

In a place like Yanjing, where land is at a premium, if a land of 120,000 square meters is used to develop office buildings, it would be easy to build a building area of ​​500,000 to 600,000 square meters.

Lin Weimin said with a smile: "It's okay to look at the problem from a development perspective. It will definitely come in handy in the future. If you, Yanjing City, are worried, we can sign an agreement and within one year of taking the land, we can Once the construction is started, it will be completed in several phases. I promise to return you a high-rise building in Yanjing City within ten years and will definitely live up to your plan for this CBD area. How about it?"

Lin Weimin said this, what can the people of Yanjing City say?

The purchase of land by Guowen Group entered a substantive negotiation stage. Within a few days, the two parties formally signed an agreement. Guowen Group acquired this 12.28-hectare plot of land located on the south side of Guomao and on the west side of the East Third Ring Road for 360 million. , the government department will be responsible for the demolition work, and the land will be handed over after half a year.

The above supports a total of 500 million low-interest loans for Guowen Group. Now it costs 360 million just to acquire the land. If it is all built in the future, it will cost at least 1 billion, even if it takes away all the wealth of Guowen Group. Even if it is empty, it may not be built!

After taking the land, public pressure within the group suddenly increased.

Cheng Wuchun sat in Lin Weimin's office and sighed, not saying anything. He just kept sighing, which made Lin Weimin get angry.

"You've almost got it. Those who don't know think I have some terminal disease!"

Cheng Wuchun had a sad look on his face, "500 million. The above has given us a total of 500 million in loans. This is for the development of our Chinese literary society. But you are lucky, you spent 360 million to buy a piece of land, and you only have 140 million left. 100 million, what can we build with such a small amount of money?"

"What did you say in the meeting? Can you support my work? Didn't I tell you already? Land prices in Yanjing are getting higher and higher day by day. Get it early and save worry. If it hadn't been for the restructuring this year, I would have started to get the land long ago. Well, it cost more than 300 million in vain."

It's okay that he didn't say "more than 300 million". When he mentioned it, Lao Cheng's face trembled with distress.

"It's so dark in the city. How can this be selling land? Isn't this drinking our blood? How much did we spend on the land for the family building in the past few years?"

"Don't mention that piece of land. Isn't that the result of coordination? The price of land in Yanjing will increase every year. In ten years, our piece of land will be sold even if you add zero."

Comrade Lao Cheng looked sideways at Lin Weimin, "Just brag!"

"What do you mean I'm bragging? Don't say you don't know what's going on with the real estate industry in Yanjing right now?"

Of course, Cheng Wuchun was not unaware of Yanjing's current booming real estate market. He just didn't dare to think that land could increase tenfold, even though Yanjing's land prices had increased more than tenfold since the 1980s.

It has already risen so much, and it cannot rise much further.

It’s already fallen so much, and it can’t fall much further.

If Lao Cheng is a stock trader, he must be a good leek.

"You guys, don't worry all the time. It's not like we have to build all the buildings at once. Let's build the buildings slowly. There are ways to build if you have money, and there are ways to build if you don't have money. Besides, When we get the land, we can still get a loan from the bank!"

Lao Cheng was shocked, "Repay the loan?"

"Look at your little profit? You just borrowed hundreds of millions. If you can get a loan from a bank these days, then you are the boss. The bank is eager to get you a loan."

"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get married?"

"What are you afraid of if you don't pay back? If the bank's money is not paid back, it's our money. If it's paid back, won't it become the bank's money again?" Lin Weimin laughed.

Comrade Lao Cheng stared, and Lin Weimin said sternly: "Just kidding. How can it not be enough? If nothing else, the increase in land prices alone can make us make a lot of money. Besides, it's not like the group doesn't Once you’ve made money, it’s not difficult to pay back the money.”

Hearing what Lin Weimin said, Lao Cheng was still worried, "This is 500 million!"

Lin Weimin understood the thinking of the older generation very well, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pay back the money he borrowed.

"Lao Cheng, I have to criticize you for this. You are a typical poor man's thinking..."

Before Lin Weimin had time to express his long speech, he was stopped by Lao Cheng's "he".

"tui" Lao Cheng spat on the toilet paper, "keep talking!"

How could Lin Weimin dare to say anything again without fear of spitting in his face?

He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and warned: "Huo mostly drinks tea, and I happen to have a jar of jasmine tea here. Come on, clear your lungs."

Lao Cheng snorted, "That's pretty much it!"

"I can't understand your thoughts, but you still have to keep your mind on the right path."

"It's all a joke. Don't worry. We will definitely make a profit from this piece of land. We don't engage in real estate. At most, we can reap some dividends from the times. Of course I can't forget our main business."

After a frank exchange, Cheng Wanchun felt relieved and left the office with satisfaction.

Two days later, Wenhua Film and Television officially signed an agreement with Xiangjiang Tomson Pictures to acquire Xiangjiang Tomson Pictures for 25 million yuan. With the completion of this acquisition, Wenhua Film and Television also stepped out of the company's development history. a crucial step.

Although Xiangjiang Film has been defeated by Hollywood blockbusters, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If nothing else, the acquisition of Tomson Pictures will bring a big improvement to Wenhua Film and Television in terms of film production level alone. .

What's more, Tomson Films' film library has dozens of movies, and it has many cooperation with production companies and distribution companies in Hong Kong, Bay Island and Southeast Asian countries. These will become indispensable for Wenhua Film and Television's future development. of assistance.

In order to acquire Tomson Pictures, Yu Dong went to Xiangjiang to personally take charge. This is the most important thing for Wenhua Film and Television this year and cannot be missed.

Less than a month after the group meeting, the measures Lin Weimin mentioned at the meeting were implemented one after another. After a brief period of agitation within Guowen Group, it gradually settled down.

Employees are not afraid of reform, but they are afraid of messing around. In the end, they will waste all their money without achieving any results. The more reforms they make, the worse they get.

After the establishment of the group, apart from anything else, the efficiency has been much faster than before. Things that were said to be done were done immediately, which seems to be a good start.

Entering February, less than half a month before the Chinese New Year, Lin Weimin took some time to read in the office this afternoon.

Xu Guixiang's "The Sky of History" was published in the first issue of "Contemporary" in January 1999.

This novel runs through the forty-year history from the Anti-Japanese War to the period before reform and opening up. It tells the story of the protagonists Liang Bida, Chen Mohan and others from the Red Army period, through various historical periods such as the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and Hum Bong. , with a strong sense of historical depth and an atmosphere of great practical significance, the whole novel has a majestic temperament.

The novel was published for a month and has been well received by many readers and received excellent response from critics. It can be regarded as a rare military-themed work.

However, the shortcomings of the novel are also obvious. The characters are severely stereotyped and the text is not aesthetically pleasing.

Of course, every work has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no perfect work in the world.

Lin Weimin put down the "Contemporary" in his hand, made himself a cup of tea, and had half a day of leisure.

He was very busy in the past two months, but he can finally take a breath recently.

The publication of "The Sky of History" caused considerable repercussions in the literary world, and the sales of "Contemporary" in January also saw a small peak. Next March, the first part of Lin Weimin's new novel will also be released in "Contemporary". There is no need to worry about the sales of "Contemporary" in the first half of this year.

Speaking of which, he has finished writing the first part of the new novel for a while, but he has yet to start writing the second part. He has been so busy recently that he has no time to calm down and write.

Lin Weimin thought, now that the group has been established, he is now the chairman and general manager of the group, and the position of president of the Chinese Literature Society cannot always be occupied. In less than half a year, Lao Cheng will retire.

President and editor-in-chief, both positions are crucial to the Chinese Literature Society. They cannot be replaced at the same time. Let’s wait until Lao Cheng retires first.

The light in the office gradually dimmed, and it was already dark outside. Lin Weimin suddenly woke up.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and unknowingly, he had been touching fish for two hours.

After get off work, go home.

The car walked half a circle around the Second Ring Road and stopped in front of the Jinghua Museum.

The lights can still be seen at the large construction site next to it. From the start of construction on May Day last year to now, the main construction of the second phase of the museum and the library has been capped. This year, the secondary structure and exterior wall facade have been completed, but there is still a long way to go. long time.

Water supply and drainage, HVAC, strong and weak electricity, equipment debugging, outdoor landscaping, roads... If it can be completed in the second half of next year, it will be considered fast.

The huge building disappeared in the darkness, leaving only the shadow of the giant building. Lin Weimin felt at ease in his heart.

He spent more than 200 million to build such a big thing. The headquarters of Guowen Group will be several times bigger than this place in the future.

You have to wait!

When he got home, dinner was ready. After eating, Tao Huimin handed him a document.

"What is this?"

"Demolition notice, there are three houses in our East Third Ring Road area that are going to be demolished."

Lin Weimin looked through the announcement documents. This place looked familiar. Wasn't it the same area he stretched out his hand on the East Third Ring Road some time ago?

The demolition has come to my own home!

"Why don't I remember there are houses in this area?"

"What can you remember?" Tao Huimin said angrily.

"I remember a lot. I remember the house in Tuanjie Lake. At that time..."

Lin Weimin was very happy.

Tao Huimin slapped him on the shoulder anxiously, "What are you talking about in front of the child?"

After this year, Teacher Lin is already forty, and he is already addicted to talking.
