Chapter 127 "The Bad Guy"
Fang Minghua took the ticket and looked for his hard sleeper compartment, and found that there were already three passengers inside. Just as Lu Yao described in "The Ordinary World", they were wearing red ties and dressed a little. He was wearing a pleated suit with trademarks sewn on the cuffs, and was chatting hotly.
There are several oversized plastic travel bags placed under the lower berth seats and on the luggage rack by the window, which are particularly eye-catching. They are bulging with stuff inside, which makes Fang Minghua quickly think of a word:
< br>Fuck me.
Lord is the most distinctive feature of this era,
At first, the men just collected hundreds of eggs from the countryside and carefully moved them back to the city in exchange for food stamps. Or they brought electronic watches from the coast, put them in military caps and sold them in big cities. Later, they started to sell whatever they needed. , pour whatever is in short supply.
Of course, there was also a great person in this group later, who was called the biggest traitor - Mou Zhongzhong.
International fraudster Mou Zhong used the backlog of cans from a factory on the verge of bankruptcy in a certain city in eastern Sichuan to exchange for civil aviation aircraft, benefiting both parties and making a lot of money for himself.
Subsequently, big and small villains began to think about toppling the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame de Paris. Among them, a foreign businessman generously handed over a section of the state-owned railway that was not often open to traffic to a company. This huge scam was only discovered when the company sent a construction team to dismantle more than half of the track.
Of course, the gangsters Fang Minghua met were not that bold yet, and were only in the primary stage of gangsterism.
He lay on the upper bunk and listened to the three people chatting. He was just preparing to take the specialties from the Northeast to Guangdong Province for sale. More importantly, he was taking various electronic products such as electronic watches, tapes, and tape recorders from there to the North for sale.
Fang Minghua was very interested and joined their chat.
"Brother, looking at your elegant appearance, you must be a scholar, right?" A fat man wearing a white shirt and a red tie said, taking out a pack of cigarettes and taking one out and handing it to him. Fang Minghua took a look: Changbai Ginseng.
Fang Minghua declined with a smile and said: "I work for a magazine in Xijing and went to Rongcheng for a meeting. What about you? The accent sounds like you are from the Northeast? Are you going to Huacheng?"
" Haha, I guessed it right, it's a scholar!" The fat man chuckled and said, "We are just doing some small business."
"Fellow fellow, my hometown is also in Fengtian," Fang Minghua said again.
"Ouch. See you, fellow countryman." The fat man became even more enthusiastic upon hearing this. He took out a bag of sunflower seeds from his bag and handed it to Fang Minghua.
Isn’t it bad to eat melon seeds in a hard-sleeper carriage?
But even though I smoked cigarettes, I still cared about this, so I grabbed a handful and started smoking.
“Are you a bad guy?” Fang Minghua asked tentatively.
The other party smiled and said nothing.
“You are still cool and unrestrained. You can travel all over the country and make a lot of money.” Fang Minghua said with a smile.
“Hey, we are just making a small amount of money with all our hard work, and maybe it will turn into speculation.” The fat man sighed.
"Earn a small amount of money? If you keep going back and forth, I guess we won't be able to earn back our wages in a few years."
"That's true." The fat man smiled, with a hint of pride in his laughter.
The two of them introduced themselves to me. This fat man's name was Hu Hongtao. He turned out to be a corporate buyer for a production brigade in the suburbs of Fengtian. He often traveled outside and was well-informed. He saw that national policies were becoming more and more lively, and his brain was also enthusiastic. Get up, quit your job last year, and embark on the path of being a bad man.
"Xiao Fang, you are a cultural person and know a lot about policies. Do you think the country's policies will change? Will they go back?"
Listen to Hu Hongtao's question, The other two also raised their heads and looked at Fang Minghua on the upper bunk.
Fang Minghua understood what they meant and said with a smile: "No, the policy will only get better and better. Isn't it a glorious time to advocate getting rich?"
"That's good, that's good , my heart feels at ease.”
The four of them chatted for a while, and then took a rest. The train headed south. When it arrived at Changsha Station the next afternoon, Fang Minghua was about to transfer to the train to Rongcheng, and got off the train to say goodbye to the three of them.
"Comrade Xiaofang, if you go back to your hometown and pass by Fengtian and come to my house to play, I will treat you to our pork stewed vermicelli and drink from Fengcheng Laojiao!" Hu Hongtao greeted warmly.
“I will definitely come if I have the chance!”
It would be nice to meet a fellow countryman during the long journey.
Fang Minghua stayed in Changsha for one night, then got on the train the next morning and continued his journey. After another night, he arrived at Rongcheng, the capital of Fujian Province, at noon the next day. It lasted three days and two nights. It’s not easy to travel far away these days. I don’t understand why the Golden Rooster Awards are awarded in such a far away place?
Complaints are complaints, Fang Minghua left the station, bought a map, and first went to the hotel designated by the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee to report - West Lake Hotel.
This West Lake is not Hangzhou West Lake, but the West Lake Park in Rongcheng, the most complete classical garden preserved in Rongcheng.
Fang Minghua rushed over by bus, checked in with a letter of introduction and work permit at the front desk, went to his room to rest for a while, and was ready to go out for a walk since he was not bored.
The West Lake is outside and the scenery is nice.
"I wonder if Zhu Lin is here?"
Fang Minghua looked at the list of nominations for the major awards, and he only knew Zhu Lin.
He was about to go down the stairs when he saw a beautiful woman with shawl hair wearing a white dress coming downstairs.
It's Zhu Lin
"Xiao Fang, when did you arrive?" the other party greeted warmly.
"I just arrived not long ago, how about you?"
"I arrived in the morning, and I'm ready to go to the West Lake for a walk. Are you too?"
"Same."
"Then let's go together."
The West Lake Park is quite big, with beautiful lakes and mountains. It's not too hot today without the sun, so the two of them walked and chatted.
"Xiao Fang, I went to southern Xinjiang to film after the Spring Festival this year. I heard that Song Tangtang was transferred back to Anxi?" Zhu Lin asked.
"Yes, I was transferred back during the Spring Festival."
"That's great. When will you two have a wedding? Don't forget to treat me to wedding candy then."< br>
"I will definitely invite you, but we are still early."
"Then you have to hurry up, Tangtang is a good girl."
The two chatted and talked about the awards ceremony that will be held tonight, when the final list of winners will be announced.
"Xiao Fang, the competition for Best Actress this year is too fierce. Pan Hong, Siqin Gaowa and I have been nominated. They are all excellent."
"Especially Pan Hong. , has appeared in several movies, starring in "The Smile of the Distressed" in 1978, and was invited to participate in screenings at foreign Cannes Film Festivals. He won the China Film Huabiao Award for Outstanding Film and the Youth Outstanding Creation Award. It is really amazing. ."
Zhu Lin's tone was a little worried.
Indeed, Pan Hong and Zhu Lin Siqin Gaowa were both actors born after 50 years, but Pan Hong became famous earlier.
Fang Minghua comforted: "Don't worry, winning the award only represents the past. I think you performed well."
"Really?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
"Okay, Xiao Fang, if I really win the award, I'll treat you to a treat!"
"Keep your word."
