Chapter 16 Brothers and Prices
"Heavy punches...fuel and..."
“You-Win!”
As soon as Du Qiu opened the door, he heard familiar and friendly music and sound effects, and a childish voice shouted: "Dad! You said you wanted to avenge me, but you lost no matter how you did!"
Oh, good friend Wang Zhuang is here...
When I walked to the living room, I saw that it was indeed Wang Guanjun, but it was also a 5-year-old toddler version. I was so crazy. I was holding a plastic toy sword and dancing around on the sofa. I saw a naughty child with excessive energy. Sitting beside him, the middle-aged man who was fighting against Lin Jinyan, who was playing "Street Fighter 2" saw Du Qiu, put down the game controller, stood up and greeted: "This is Chunhua's brother who has been separated for many years, right?"
"Yes, his name is Du Qiu." Lin Dawei also stood up, introduced it to both parties in a formal manner, and said, "This is my college classmate Wang Chang'an, and Jinyan's godfather. That is his son Wang Guanjun, and Jinyan is a godmother."
Lin Dawei is a talented student. He was admitted to Yunda University for the first time taking the college entrance examination at the age of 19, while Wang Changan is a hard-working student. He repeated the school for three consecutive years and was not admitted to Yunda University until he was 23 years old. He was already 27 when he graduated and was an older young man in the 1980s. Therefore, like Lin Dawei, he got married not long after graduation. The two were roommates in college, with similar temperaments and a very strong relationship. The child's birthday was only more than two months apart, so they recognized each other and got married.
A traditional folk custom of worshiping godfathers is to make children live well and prevent premature death. With the improvement of life and medical standards in modern society, it has no practical significance. However, after family planning became a national policy, there were more only children. This has a layer of helping children recognize one more family and take care of each other when they grow up. Therefore, many parents still maintained this custom in the 1990s. Du Qiu and Wang Guanjun did not study in the same school from kindergarten to university, but they had a good relationship and often got together and scrambled around. This was the result of recognizing their brothers when they were young.
"Hello Brother Wang." Du Qiu shook hands with his godfather, took out the allusion he knew from him before traveling through time and complimented: "The Marquis of Chang'an is invincible, the Marquis of the Champion, the Marquis of the Champion, the father and son both made achievements and made achievements, and the Marquis of Wanli, a good name, and a good meaning!"
The Marquis of Chang'an is Xiang Yu, and the Marquis of Champion is Huo Qubing. They are all the best heroes in history. Wang Chang'an is actually just a coincidence. "Chang" means seniority and "An" means name, which is very ordinary, but Wang Guanjun's name is indeed based on Huo Qubing's title. When he saw Du Qiu say this, he was stunned at first, then laughed and said with a slickering hand: "There are many people who know the King of Western Chu, few who know the Marquis of Chang'an, many who know the champion of Olympics, and very few who know the Marquis of Champion, Dawei, you are amazing, you have been wandering overseas since you were a child, but you can learn to be self-taught and proficient in Chinese traditional culture. It's amazing!"
"He probably came from somewhere to hearsay, what is he proficient in." Du Chunhua said in a word. She walked out of the kitchen with a plate of buns of meat and said with a smile: "I'm back, so let's have a meal."
"We have eaten first. Jinyan and Xiaojun just ate a lot of biscuits. Let them play with them. They will eat later when they are hungry." Lin Dawei greeted him a few times, took out a bottle of Wuliangye in a red box from the study and said with a smile: "Chang'an, when you got married, you gave me ten bottles. I'm happy tonight. How about we have a bottle?"
"Does Chunhua want to bear it?"
"I don't want to let go. When you gave it to me, I knew that this wine was stored in my place and would sooner or later return to your stomach." Du Chunhua used a lighter to light the pickled fish hotpot, and complained half-truely: "You two are really a pair of wine and meat friends. You have to drink every time you meet, and you are drunk every time. It's not the case before, but now you are all fathers, drink less."
"I drink a thousand cups of wine. Dawei and I are friends of life and death. Now I am busy with work and can't get together a few times a year. How can I not drink some wine?"
The bottle of Wuliangye from 1989 that had been traveling through time is at least two or three thousand yuan. Du Qiu picked up the packaging box with interest and looked at it, and asked, "Is this wine very expensive?"
"It's more expensive now. One bottle costs more than 200 yuan. It wasn't expensive in 1989. One bottle costs only 95 yuan." Wang Changan waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "At that time, I had just graduated from college and was tight and couldn't afford the 180 yuan Moutai. I had to buy 10 bottles of Wuliangye, which meant to be perfect. I drank one bottle tonight, and it will last forever in the future."
A bottle of 95 yuan is really cheap. You have to find a chance to hide the remaining 9 bottles...
It seems that next year, stimulated by Qin Chi to win the CCTV bid, there will be a price increase in domestic high-end wines. Why not stock up on a few boxes and wait for appreciation?
Du Chunhua didn't care much about Jixiang's words, but was more sensitive to prices and said, "The prices have risen so quickly in recent years. In the past, 100 yuan could be used up for more than a month, but now it's all done in a few days."
"Who said no? I read the newspaper a few days ago that the national inflation rate exceeded 20%, which means saving 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, and I can only buy 8,000 yuan at the end of the year." Wang Changan casually sat down at the table, scooped a bowl of soup by himself, and asked while drinking: "Dawei, have you seen Liang Jinyu recently? If you see it, please ask me if you don't have any safe investment channels. Now you can't deposit money in the bank. That little interest is not enough to be stuck in the gaps. The more you deposit, the more you lose."
"Aren't you trading stocks?"
"Don't mention it. I lost 50,000 or 60,000 last year. Amei was so angry that she wanted to divorce me. How dare she vent it again?"
"I've asked, Liang Jinyu..." Lin Dawei secretly glanced at Du Chunhua with guilt, and then said: "She said that the safest investment in China now is to buy treasury bonds, with interest higher than banks, and the state will provide value-preserving subsidies based on the inflation rate, and buy 100 yuan of three-year treasury bonds. After maturity, they can get back more than 140 yuan."
"It sounds good, I will call her in a few days to ask."
Treasury bonds? Didn’t the notorious “327 Treasury bond incident” in the history of Chinese finance happened in February 1995?
It’s great to travel through time. You can find many opportunities to make money by chatting at home...
"Forget it, let's not mention these. Du Qiu, don't be restrained, sit down and have a meal." Wang Changan, like Lin Dawei, is a social person with all kinds of personalities and good at communicating. He poured half a cup of Wuliangye to Du Qiu with a bottle and said, "You are Dawei's brother, that is, my brother. When we meet for the first time today, let's have a drink first and cultivate a relationship."
It was not a small wine glass for drinking white wine, but a glass for drinking tea. Half a cup was about 3 taels. Du Qiu couldn't help but grinned his teeth. Before traveling through time, he had been drunk by this godfather several times. Unexpectedly, he could not escape this disaster after traveling through time. He looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Wang, I have only drunk more than ten degrees of sake before, and I have never drunk white wine, so I would rather use beer instead."
"I have to drink it before. I heard from Dawei that you have a lot of ideas. As soon as you return to China, you set up a stationery company and it is also good. Doing business in China is indispensable for social engagements at the dinner table, and now you are just practicing."
When Du Qiu heard this, he knew who ordered the 20 gold and jade in the afternoon. Wang Changan, like Lin Dawei, was assigned to Sanjiang Commercial Vehicle Group after graduating from university. However, he was a local from Yuncheng, and his family was relatively good and had many ways. He soon made a name for himself in the group. He is now the sales section chief of a subsidiary. Although his position is not high, his power is not small and he is rich. Ordering 20 notepads is a piece of cake.
"I haven't drunk white wine before, so drink less. I'll finish this half cup if I can. If I can't finish it, forget it. You two drunkards will drink the rest of you."
"Okay, listen to Chunhua! Come on, Du Qiu, try it first. Wuliangye is a good wine, which is much better than light sake."
For the Time Travel Party, let alone 20 notepads, even orders of 200,000 notepads will not be taken seriously. However, Wang Changan is not an ordinary customer, but an elder who is close to him. Du Qiu had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, chat with two drunkards, and talk nonsense. He ate a meal for nearly two hours until 9 o'clock. Fortunately, half a cup of Wuliangye was not in vain. When the table was put down, Wang Changan not only agreed to buy the 20 gold and jade halls at a high price of 268 yuan, but also swears that he would recommend it to his leaders and try to include the cheapest kraft notebook in the company's office supplies purchase order. If successful, he can get thousands of orders in one go.
"Chunhua, the old saying goes, "hardships are hard and hard, and you will succeed." Although your younger brother has been separated from his flesh and blood, he has been wandering outside for several years and suffered a little, he has also experienced it. I don't think he talks much, but he can talk about the point every time. He has a steady temperament and a good vision, and his future is limitless."
"He hasn't even attended elementary school, so he has no future. He will rely on you friends to help him in the future." Du Chunhua took the green tea made by Du Qiu, handed it to Wang Changan and Lin Dawei respectively, and frowned and said, "You are going home in a drunken state. Amei will probably call me again tomorrow."
"Don't pay attention to her, she just likes to nag." Wang Changan and his wife Li Mei had a good relationship, but they had bad tempers and often quarreled. They had a conflict again these days, so they didn't want to say more. He walked to the sofa, touched his son's head, and joked: "This kid is lawless and often fights with classmates in kindergarten. Only when you meet your Jinyan will you be honest. It would be great if one of them was a girl, and it would be just a kid."
Both parents have bad tempers, and my son is no exception. Wang Guanjun doesn't like adults to touch his head, slapped his father's big hand, raised his neck and said loudly: "I don't want to be a girl! Jinyan said that he can't beat me in a fight, and I can't beat him in a game, but if the two of us unite, we can defeat everyone!"
Children were full of laughter, and the room was filled with joy. Du Qiu looked at the two children sitting side by side playing games. He felt that the yellowed scenes in his memory suddenly became vivid, and his mood was as bright as the spring sunshine. So he teased him with interest: "Wang Guanjun, you and Jinyan can't beat me even if they join forces. Do you believe it?"
"You are so much older than me. Of course I can't beat you now. When I grow up, I will be able to beat you." Although Wang Guanjun is a naughty child, he is very self-aware. He knew that he was not good enough, so he pushed Lin Jinyan forward and said loudly with half proud and half dissatisfaction: "But you can't beat Jinyan when playing games, and even my father can't beat him!"
Just kidding, although Lin Jinyan has the talent to play games, he and I are the same person...
