Back to 80: My Literary Life

"You?" Fang Minghua looked at Wang Xijing:

"You are currently the dean of the Academy of Chinese Painting, a director of the Chinese Artists Association, a member of the Chinese Painting Art Committee of the China Artists Association, the vice president of the Chinese Painting Society, and a visiting professor at Northwest University, Yunnan University, and Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts. You are busy with so many responsibilities Come over?"

"Hey, I'm going to resign as the president of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Painting. I'm going to retire soon. I'd like to give up my position in advance."

Wang Xijing smiled and said: "As for directors, committee members, vice presidents, and professors, they are all false. Don't you also serve as various directors, committee members, and professors?!"

This is true. In addition to the position of vice chairman of the Qin Provincial Writers Association, he also serves as a member of the bureau of the National Writers Association, a director of the Prose Society, a visiting professor at the School of Liberal Arts at Northwest University, a visiting professor at the School of Liberal Arts at Lanzhou University, and later became the vice president of the Screenwriters Association. position.

No, the Chinese Calligraphers Association also invited him to join the association and offered him the position of vice president, but Fang Minghua quickly declined.

Calligraphy is just my hobby, and I cannot be called a calligrapher at all.

Besides, the calligraphy association was finally turned into a mess by a group of people, so it would be better for me to get less involved.

Seeing Fang Minghua pondering, Wang Xijing added: "Minghua, I am responsible for the daily work of the art museum. I am not seeking fame and fortune. I don't want a penny in salary. I just like calligraphy and painting, especially this batch of Chinese paintings you collected. Every day I am very satisfied to see it.”

After hearing this, Fang Minghua also said: "Okay, after the museum is completed, you will serve as the executive deputy director and be responsible for the daily work of the museum."

"Haha, great, I finally have something to do after retirement." Wang Xijing was overjoyed when he heard this.

The two chatted for a while, and then Wang Xijing said goodbye and left.

After he left, Song Tangtang said: "Wang Xijing is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and he also has good management skills. In the past few years, he has been the president of the Chinese Painting Academy, and the Chinese Painting Academy has become very prosperous. It was originally a Qingshui Yamen business. The company is actually extremely rich. It is indeed a very suitable candidate for him to be responsible for the daily operations of the art museum. "

Fang Minghua nodded.

The art museum to be established will not only exhibit its own collection of calligraphy and painting works, but also have functions such as academic seminars, aesthetic education, and business exchanges. It needs a generalist, and Wang Xijing is undoubtedly qualified.

2004 passed so quietly, and Fang Minghua did not write anything this year.

But this year, although the domestic literary world was not a harvest year for literature, some excellent literary works were also produced:

In Ge Fei's "Human Face Peach Blossom", we re-understand the crisp texture of language and dreams.

Kitamura's "Angry", this novel explores with rare intensity the huge tragedy hidden under the hard reality of contemporary society - the survival plight of the weak.

The other two films are "Cherrys on the Pomegranate Tree" by Li Er and "Scratch Itch" by Chen Xiwo. These two novels, one humorous and realistic, the other sharp and gloomy, both touch upon certain mental illnesses of contemporary people - "Cherrys on the Pomegranate Tree" describes the fundamental dilemma of Chinese rural society: a Incurable power addiction and mental coldness have created a dilapidated scene in China at the grassroots level.

"Scratch Itch" uses abnormality to represent the lack of normality, and uses abnormality to present the embarrassment of normality, pushing the humble and dark experience to an extreme - under Chen Xiwo's scrutiny, life has gained the weight of existence.

In addition to novels, high-level novellas have suddenly emerged. Novellas by writers such as Beibei, Chen Yingsong, Xu Yigua, Jing Ge, Yingchuan, Xiaohang, Wang Song, and Jin Ziwei all have excellent works. .

In a non-literary era, there are still excellent writers who are calmly concentrating on literature. This is a blessing.

This is a literary interview by the famous literary critics Radar and Bai Ye, published on the website of Guangming Daily.

Fang Minghua likes to read Radar's comments on the Chinese literary world at the end of each year. As he said: "In a situation where fashion and desire are more popular, I value works with strong spiritual exploration more."

The Spring Festival is relatively late this year. New Year’s Eve is on February 8th. After the Spring Festival, the New Year cannot be said to be complete until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which is already February 24th.

After intense preparations, the foundation laying ceremony of Xijing Art Museum was held on time.

There was a late spring cold in Xijing two days ago, with some light snowfall. Today the weather is still bad and the spring cold is severe. The construction site of the Qujiang New District Art Museum is still in a bad state, but the staff has laid a red carpet around it and there is a cornerstone in the middle. There are also big red flowers tied with red satin.

There is a red curtain in front of the ceremony site, with the words "Xijing Art Museum Foundation Laying Ceremony" written on it. Next to it is a colorful shed, which contains the model, design drawings and renderings of the art museum.

On both sides are more than a dozen excavators, mixer trucks, and dump trucks, which look majestic. Construction workers also lined up next to the vehicles wearing hard hats.

There were hundreds of guests attending the groundbreaking ceremony, including provincial and municipal leaders, designers, constructors, and scholars from the art world.

Fang Minghua looked energetic in a suit and tie.

At nine o'clock sharp, the host announced the start of the ceremony, introduced the guests and played the national anthem. Art Museum investor Fang Minghua delivered a speech, Minister Wang of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee spoke on behalf of the guests, and employee representatives took an oath.

Finally, Fang Minghua, Minister Wang, Liu Jiakun, and Yu Zhengwen from Qujiang Tourism Development Company.

A total of ten people, each holding a shovel tied with red silk, began to dig soil for the cornerstone. The venue burst into warm applause.

At this moment, Fang Minghua's cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Song Tangtang, but he didn't answer it and pressed the reject button.

After chatting with Minister Wang for a few more words, the guests who attended the groundbreaking ceremony left one after another. Fang Minghua said hello to Liu Jiakun and others before getting into his car.

Driving on the street, Fang Minghua took out his mobile phone and dialed Song Tangtang's number.

When the call was connected, the voice on the other end seemed a little noisy.

"I just attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Minister Wang and I were talking, so it's not convenient to pick up the conversation." Fang Minghua explained before asking: "What's wrong? Is it about stocks?"

"Yes. Minghua, the opening price of Shengshi Film and Television's stock today is 30.2 yuan, which is 50% higher than the issue price!" Song Tangtang tried to be calm, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"Congratulations, you are already a super rich woman." Fang Minghua joked.

According to the capital structure of Shengshi Film and Television, the parent company Shengshi Group holds 75% of the shares of Shengshi Film and Television, which is 750 million shares, while Song Tangtang holds 50% of the shares of Shengshi Group, which is 360 million shares. According to the current market price, it is 10.8 billion yuan. This does not include the value of Shengshi books and Shengshi literature.

Although neither of these two companies has been listed, some people estimate that the two companies are valued at 8 billion yuan, and Song Tangtang's wealth is also 4 billion yuan.

This way he can definitely be on the Hurun China Rich List.

Hearing what Fang Minghua said, Song Tangtang said angrily: "It's not as rich as Lili."

It turned out that just three years ago, after the Rasdaq stock market crash, Fang Minghua went to the United States to visit Li Li and her daughter. Before returning to China, he arranged for Phillips to go to Rasdaq to prepare for bargain hunting.

In addition to buying Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and other stocks, I also specifically bought the stock of a Chinese company that was almost delisted - NetEase. At that time, the stock price was only $0.65.

Li Li naturally listened to Fang Minghua and invested the 200 million US dollars she earned from stock trading into the stock market again. She invested heavily in NetEase and bought 30 million shares in one go. She became one of NetEase's major shareholders. In her words, she wanted to support Chinese companies - anyway. 30 million shares cost $25 million.

If you lose, you lose.

Unexpectedly, less than two years later, the stock price soared to $70!

Just from this stock alone, Li Li's wealth reached US$1.4 billion. With investments in other stocks, the floating profit in her account reached US$1.6 billion, equivalent to RMB 12.8 billion, making her a well-established female billionaire.

Now when Fang Minghua heard his wife say this, he laughed: "That's easy, how about I transfer half of Xijing Investment's shares to you?"
