Chapter 1309: Resurrection from the Dead
The age of an old man is just like the calendar cards at the end of the year. If you tear each one off, it will become shorter.
It gets more and more desolate as time goes by, and I can only watch helplessly as there are only a few of my "calendar cards" left.
Therefore, the elderly usually pay special attention to their birthdays, because after reaching their seventh or eighth decade, everyone has a clear mind, and the distance between birthdays and funerals is no longer so far away.
It is precisely because of this that the elderly are particularly concerned about the life events of their children and descendants.
To start a family, get married and have children, you can only see your children achieve these goals, flourish, and take a stable shape in life.
Only the elderly think that their lives are basically on the right track, and they can almost rest assured in the future.
Ning Weimin has no parents. He didn't understand this in the past.
But in this life, he has been exposed to it through living in No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong. Because his work requires frequent dealings with those old masters of Gongmeikouer, he has already understood this.
He knows better that all this stems from the care and love of the elderly for their children and descendants,
Therefore, out of consideration for Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun's wishes, he tried his best to comply with the wishes of these two old men just like he treated his biological parents.
As long as it can make the two old people happy and feel at ease, he will do his best to cooperate.
If you want money, give money, if you want things, give things. Whatever you want him to do, he will do it.
So soon he fulfilled his promise to the old man.
Not only did he invest RMB 2.4 million with Jiang Nianyun to establish a joint venture company called "Jinyu Mantang International Hotel Management Company", he successfully completed the industrial and commercial registration procedures and became a 51%-owned The major shareholder of the shares.
And he privately gave the old man 600,000 yuan.
He didn't say it was to make up for the shortfall in preparing for the wedding, because saying so would mean that he was ungrateful and wanted to make a difference in money.
He only said he would keep it for the old man as pocket change.
As for this apprentice, who can say anything bad?
My own son may not be able to do this.
From then on, Ma's Garden, which was open to the public, officially had a new name - Yun Garden.
Speaking of this, this name was proposed by Kang Shude on his own initiative, and was named after a character in Jiang Nianyun’s name.
The original meaning of this word is to describe the fragrance of vegetation. It is both elegant and appropriate, and also means full of vitality and lush vegetation.
And this not only fully shows the old man's grandeur, but also shows his sincerity, including his friendship for the fourth lady of the Jiang family.
Otherwise, how could he name the industry he cares most about after someone else?
At the very least, you have to add a character from your name. This is the basic operation.
In fact, even Jiang Nianyun himself meant the same thing. The old lady was very moved, so she also mentioned a name and added a word from Kang Shude's name.
However, not only did the old man disagree with this name, but Ning Weimin also strongly opposed it.
For no other reason than who asked the fourth young lady of the Jiang family to name her "De Yunyuan"?
This definitely won’t work. You can’t call it this.
Ning Weimin couldn't get over this name because the association it gave people was too bad.
It’s impossible for such a good garden to have a different name from the Caotai team that talks about cross talk in the future.
If others associate this garden with the "university scholar"'s "dancing and writing" performance on stage, then stretching the hips will affect their own style.
Don't say that Huayuanzi can't be called by this name, even the theater can't do it.
Otherwise, when that person becomes famous, people will think it is their branch.
Who can stand it if we have to recruit hundreds of clever "tightrope" people to block the door of the theater every day to buy tickets?
So now that we know it, we must eradicate this future trouble. We really can’t fight again and again.
So in the end, with everyone’s unanimous insistence, we decided on the name originally given by the old man - Yunyuan.
With the legal procedures in place, you can recruit people and buy two more imported cars.
But Ning Weimin doesn't have to worry about these things. Just like the old man said, he is just a hands-off shopkeeper.
His cheap cousin Shen Cun will handle all this.
Originally, fast food chains needed recruitment and training, which was something Shen Cun had always taken care of. Now, according to actual needs, the worst case scenario would be to place an advertisement in the newspaper again and continue recruiting in the name of Yunyuan.
Now that the fast food chain has no stores open, it is not difficult to temporarily transfer a few people here to meet daily responsibilities.
Don’t look at the small number of people, but the skilled hands.
You don’t have to worry about catering for the wedding. Catering requires professional work, and the people at Ziyutan Palace Restaurant can do it.
Even the matter of buying imported cars is the same. Shen Cun is already familiar with it. Even if there is no one to help, it is easy for him to handle these things by himself.
However, Ning Weimin didn't just give up on everything. He was still very concerned about the wedding shed.
He first went to the Temple of Heaven Park to talk about fire prevention in detail with someone from the security department.
Unexpectedly, what he thought was very difficult turned out to be a layer of window paper, and it was not difficult to pierce it.
Since the 1970s, our country has had its own fire-retardant coatings.
So for the Temple of Heaven Park, for this kind of temporary thing, it only needs to be built during the construction process.
Spraying fireproof treatment on wooden structures and flammable materials can greatly reduce the incidence of fires.
Although it is not absolutely impossible to catch a fire, you still need to prepare a fire extinguisher and have someone to watch and patrol.
But compared to the past when there was no such method, it was much safer when it was available at the first moment.
All public activities in the Temple of Heaven Park and those temporary commercial greenhouses are done in this way.
Just be careful of sawdust and construction debris. So far there have been no real fires, it's usually just local minor problems caused by cigarette butts.
Besides, there is no need to use open flame lamps for lighting now. According to the words of the head of the Temple of Heaven Security Section, under normal weather, it is very safe to use electric lights for lighting as long as you try not to use open flames and run wires to avoid electricity.
The section chief also said that if Ning Weimin was worried, he could ask the director for support during his wedding days.
As long as the Tiantan Security Department is allowed to send people to assist, there will be no trouble in terms of fire safety.
Not only did Ning Weimin relax, he returned home happily.
When he returned, he relayed these words to Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun, and the two old men were also very happy.
In this way, the design of the wedding shed is no longer a problem.
Money is readily available now. As long as you follow the construction requirements of the Temple of Heaven Park, buy enough fire-retardant paint and spray all the flammable building materials first, and then let it dry and start the construction normally.
But then again, if fire prevention had become so easy, now that I think about it, it would be a bit unfair for this shed business to disappear.
In other words, had it not been for the Changing Customs Movement, the craftsmen who were engaged in building greenhouses would have persisted for a few more years. Maybe they can still survive without losing the legacy of incense.
To be honest, our people are actually very willing to spend money on weddings and funerals.
Most people save their money all their lives just to use it on these things.
So even if there are no more big houses building roofs in the summer, the shed builders will not starve to death if they only eat red and white things.
Thinking about this, Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun felt a little sad and couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed that they were reliving the unpredictable loss of life and the helplessness of being unable to control fate through Master He and Master Zheng.
But Ning Weimin didn't believe this evil, because he suddenly thought of more.
Not to mention, he suddenly had some new discoveries and new ideas.
No matter what high-end industry he is in, he always remains true to his roots. We all have prototypes in China.
In fact, in his opinion, for shed makers, with the development of the times, even weddings and weddings are a small business.
Because the scaffolding industry also has natural advantages in public and commercial activities, isn't this industry equivalent to the business scope of the future exhibition industry?
But the future exhibition industry will never be as cheap and convenient as he saw.
As a person in the information age, who hasn’t seen several exhibitions and participated in several large-scale commercial events?
In Ning Weimin's impression, even though those strange booths were made of wood, no matter how large the booths were, they were almost all built within a week.
But the most basic materials are made of heavy iron frames covered with large core boards.
To build a two-story structure, many people would have to work together for several days.
Especially for traditional Chinese exhibition stands and activities, if you want to create a three-dimensional effect without using inkjet printing to fool people, it will cost a lot of money.
For comparison, where can the shed builders build these things quickly, conveniently, gorgeously and at an affordable price?
The advantages of being outdoors are even more incomparable.
In his previous life, Ning Weimin was attending an auto show at the National Exhibition in Beijing, and he witnessed with his own eyes the scene of a wooden and iron-framed booth being blown down by strong winds of level 7 in windy weather.
But what kind of scaffolding did the shed builders build?
Although it is as high as ten feet and as wide as ten feet, they all rise from the ground, and there is never a pillar in the middle.
But even if there is a level 12 hurricane attack, it will not fall apart.
According to the two old masters, this is the most basic requirement.
Ever since the establishment of this business in Beijing, there has never been a case of a greenhouse being blown down by the wind. If you can’t do this, what else are you doing?
No matter how strong the wind is, at most it will lift the entire scaffolding and then completely fall elsewhere.
This shows how strong the shed is.
Think about it, from this point of view, isn’t it true that the longer we live, the closer we will go back?
My ancestors actually threw away and forgot their things, and then learned what others call modern exhibition technology, using iron shelves, thick wood, and plastic boards to build things.
It is neither environmentally friendly nor wasteful.
When I see a portable truss or a standard stall built with plug-in methods, I feel that it is too convenient and advanced, and I am very impressed.
What is this called?
This is called cultural degradation!
How stupid!
It’s so stupid!
It's such a pity. Just for the moment, we hold the Canton Fair every year for the sake of exports. We do such stupid things every year. I don't know how much money has been wasted!
So according to Ning Weimin's gradually clear thinking, as long as this industry is not really eradicated, there are still people who understand technology.
In fact, it is not difficult to revive the traditional industry of shack shops and even develop it.
After all, China’s future commercial exhibition market demand is too great, and the practicality and applicability of the shed industry cannot be fully covered by the business content of the exhibition industry.
It can really be used for public activities and residents’ daily needs, and it can be used for at least one season.
For now, for example, every summer the book market in Temple of Heaven Park, the night market in Dong'anmen, and even the clothing stalls in Xidan Shopping Mall are perfect for using this technique.
It would be nice to set up a pavilion, outdoor teahouse and pergola at a tourist attraction or park.
Especially in the near future, it will be the Asian Games. Aren’t they all ready for use?
We might as well make a bolder idea. If we can really improve it and study how to use the iron frame as the inner frame, it may make the greenhouse safer in terms of fire protection and safety, and the future will be brighter. Unlimited!
If we really give them a chance, these so-called shed builders who have “no longer kept up with the times” can show their talents, and they will definitely save money and earn face. It will definitely be an eye-opener for foreigners.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin is not only satisfied with letting these wedding tents shine back, but just becoming the souvenirs of the last appearance at his wedding.
What he hopes is to gain an opportunity to truly revive this traditional industry in the capital.
So in addition to quickly contacting people and coming over to shoot the documentary, he also found time in private to have new discussions with Master He and Master Zheng.
He said that after the fire protection work is completed, the wedding tent will be built according to your ideas, but he does not hope this will be the last time we cooperate.
He is willing to personally invest 200,000 yuan to establish a celebration company.
Then Master He and Master Zheng were hired as consultants, and several of their capable apprentices served in the company for a long time.
If you have a job, you don’t have to resign, you can work part-time.
In the future, of course, they will no longer have to think about where to find work. There will be a dedicated person in charge of business issues.
When there is work, the few of them can be completely independent like building a wedding tent this time, forming a temporary team to work, and allowing their disciples, disciples, colleagues and friends to earn some extra money.
When there is no work, they have at least a monthly salary of two to three hundred yuan.
This allows them to cooperate with civilian staff at ease to compile industry information and prepare for the restoration of the tradition and technology of the shed industry, and even the publication of an industry monograph.
Needless to say, no matter whether it is the two masters or their several capable apprentices, there is no possibility of disagreement!
To be able to make money, show your face, and even leave a name for future generations is like a big piece of pie that was born to fall into the pie.
Master He and Master Zheng are naturally as determined as Jiang Sanchang who makes utensils and Liu Yongqing who makes antique porcelain, and they are determined to die for their confidants.
With gratitude and emotion, he regarded Ning Weimin as a living Buddha who saved people in need, a peerless good man who was willing to use money to do good deeds.
Is there any reason not to serve your life with all your heart and soul?
On the other hand, no one knew Ning Weimin’s true intentions.
No one would know why Ning Wei Minwei was so happy even though he was spending money to do good deeds.
No one understands this kind of fun.
To be honest, even Ning Weimin himself didn’t believe that he could just come back and get married and pick up treasures.
Another golden lump was picked up by him and put into his sack.
There is no need to doubt it. It won’t be long before this shiny baby comes out of nowhere and blinds the eyes of the ignorant.
