Chapter 589: Carrying and Leading

Ma Du was already waiting there with two young men. Seeing Wang Yan appear at the door, he hurriedly welcomed him out: "Lord Wang!"

Wang Yan waved his hand: "We are all our own people; why do you need to bring these two little brothers to wait downstairs? Don't be blindly polite all day long."

"It should be, it should be."

Ma Du smiled and gave way, revealing the two young men with flat heads behind him. One had a somewhat chubby round face, and the other had a thin square face. Both were over 1.7 meters tall, looking shorter in front of Ma Du, who was 1.82 meters, and Wang Yan, who was 1.84 meters, especially in contrast to Wang Yan, looking much thinner and weaker.

"Lord Wang, let me introduce you. This is the Wang Shuo I mentioned to you, and this is his friend Ye Jing. The two are childhood friends, served as soldiers together, were caught together, and did business together. Today's restaurant was found by him, saying that this Sichuan restaurant is the most authentic in all of Beijing."

Wang Yan smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with them: "Little Ma mentioned this namesake of yours to me last year, letting me look at your works. I've read the few articles you published in 'Contemporary' in the past two years. They are written well, very innovative, and the language is relatively bold. I heard that your 'Air Stewardess' even won the 'Contemporary' newcomer award."

"Compared to you, I'm far behind. When I met Brother Ma, I heard him mention your legendary experience unintentionally, and he said you were the guide who led him on the path of writing. For the past two years, I've been begging Brother Ma to take us to see you."

In his words, it was not hard to feel Wang Shuo's shyness and nervousness. He had some hooligan habits and was unruly, but now he didn't have the fame and status of the future; he was just a young man who had just begun to show his edge. He hadn't reached the point of being a "hooligan of the literary world," so he was still very humble. Of course, even if this kid became awesome in the future, he should still be humble in front of Wang Yan...

"It's just living day by day, catching an opportunity, and letting me pick up a bargain. It's nothing legendary." Wang Yan patted Wang Shuo's arm, let go, and then turned to shake hands with Ye Jing.

Speaking of Ye Jing, it was also quite interesting. He was an actor and director, and the works he filmed were all from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. "Feng Kuzi" was filmed by him. After retiring from the army, he took the college entrance exam with Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo didn't get in, but he did, and later dropped out to become a cadre. What was interesting about him was that when he was in his fifties, he was beaten up for having an affair...

However, today he was only brought to Wang Yan's face because he was Wang Shuo's good friend and was thought of by Wang Shuo. He was just a small supporting role, not very important, so he just listened to the conversation with a smile. If he could interject a sentence, he would; if he couldn't, he would just accompany them to drink.

After getting to know each other, the group went to a small private room facing the street upstairs. They had already ordered a few dishes before, and Wang Yan, as the invited guest, ordered a few more. The wine was also simple and direct—Red Star Hongxing Erguotou.

Undoubtedly, Wang Yan had a strong affinity. After a few sips of wine, the strangeness was eliminated, and they talked more. There was no constructive chat content, nothing more than talking about literature, speaking about spirit, and casually saying some of his thoughts and insights on literature. After all, if you really want to talk about it, Wang Shuo's hooliganism wasn't enough to look at in front of him; he was the big hooligan who walked through the literary world.

Wanting to reach his level was actually not difficult; just satisfy one premise: become a powerful, pivotal national entrepreneur. At that time, as long as you didn't say taboo things, just scolding people, what was the big deal? They were all pen-pushers. If they couldn't play against others, they wanted to play hooligan, but the side moves weren't easy to use, and might even cause trouble for themselves, so they could only endure it, and then call Wang Yan a hooligan. After all, there were many of them.

There was a saying that if one person says there is a problem, and two people say there is a problem, it doesn't mean there is a problem. But if thousands of people say it, then you have to reflect on whether you really have a problem.

Perhaps most of the time, there really is a problem. But what about the minority of times?

Wang Yan was not a hooligan, but he became a hooligan. This was truly an interesting question...

Of course, this was Wang Yan's own situation. Wang Shuo was another matter. After all, the difference wasn't just a little bit. Now Wang Shuo was still poor and frustrated.

Wang Yan scattered a circle of "Huazi" (cigarettes) with a smile, let Ma Du, the only one in the room who didn't smoke, light it, and asked with a smile: "Idle now?"

"No, I'm writing. I'm writing with my girlfriend. It's a novella; I write about men, and she writes about women." Wang Shuo grinned, obviously happy with such a way of playing.

"Oh, fresh. When will it be published? I'll read your masterpiece then."

"Don't tease me." Wang Shuo smiled embarrassedly: "It has to be corrected by you."

Wang Yan flicked the ash: "Are you writing at home all day? Didn't do anything else?"

Wang Shuo shook his head, smiling quite freely: "It's shameful to say. Since our restaurant went bankrupt, I haven't worked. Brother Ma knows. At that time, I had just finished writing 'Air Stewardess' and had some money in my hand. Brother Ma and I ran to the Dance Academy to soak up girls. My current girlfriend was met last year, and we've been together for a year now. Now I'm just a hutong wanderer, all relying on my girlfriend to dance and earn money."

"What's shameful about this?" Wang Yan laughed: "Being able to let a woman willingly spend money on you is your ability, and it's also your girlfriend being a good person and sincere. If this were said to let others know, no need to think, you would definitely be pointed at by thousands of people. But in the hearts of these thousands of people, they are all envious, jealous, and hateful."

Ma Du laughed and nodded repeatedly: "I really admire this point about him."

"However, ability is ability, but relying on a woman to eat soft rice, it doesn't sound good to say it out." Wang Yan thought for a while and said: "How about this, didn't you publish a few articles in 'Contemporary' and win a newcomer award? This starting point is much higher than Little Ma's back then, but it's just that the positions are not enough now. Otherwise, with your qualifications, it's no problem to be transferred to be an editor. How about this, I'll go inquire later and transfer you directly to 'Contemporary'. At least you can support your family."

"Thank you, Lord Wang. You said this is our first meeting, and you're doing such a big thing for your younger brother. It's really..." Wang Shuo stood up with an "oh," and without a word, picked up the remaining half bottle of Hongxing Erguotou on the side and gulped it down: "Lord Wang, no need to say it. In the future, as long as there is a place where you can use me, just speak. Go up the mountain of knives and down the sea of fire, go through fire and water."

"Hurry up and eat some dishes to suppress it." Wang Yan smiled and raised his hand to press down, signaling Wang Shuo to sit down: "It's just that I think you're on the same temper; it's just a matter of lifting a finger. However, I'll say a truthful word: if you do the work, you must be serious and responsible. In addition, you also need to improve your cultural level. Relatively speaking, some of your knowledge is still relatively weak. If you make up for these, your writing level should be able to go to a higher level."

What he said was the truth; it was really just a matter of lifting a finger. Changing Wang Shuo's life with such a casual act was an interesting thing. Gently fiddling with other people's fate curves was something he had been doing. No way, because he didn't exist in the first place. When Ma Du stood in front of him, the fate of a string of other people had already changed, so it didn't hurt to make it bigger.

Mentioning Wang Shuo, he was someone who couldn't be bypassed in the literary world of the 80s and 90s, and also someone who couldn't be bypassed in the film and television circle. Planting a seed now and watching the excitement in the future was not impossible.

And looking at Wang Shuo's appearance, it was clear that he had received his loyalty, although it was of no use. In fact, it didn't have to be of any use; it was all based on his heart, just playing...

Thus, in Wang Shuo's reluctant farewell of "dying for those who know him," Wang Yan, who was full of wine and food, left this Sichuan restaurant.

"Brother Ma, thank you. This time, my brother has turned his luck and stepped into the sky."

Ma Du shook his head and smiled, patting Wang Shuo's arm: "Nothing to thank. It's still your own good performance, on Lord Wang's temper. I could think that Lord Wang would help you. After all, he has always taken care of his friends' face, and he had to carry and lead you for my sake. But I didn't expect Lord Wang to help you be an editor. Lord Wang said your cultural knowledge is weak; that's taking care of your face, not saying you have no culture. If you want to eat this bowl of rice, this foundation can't be bad. Go learn well. In addition, you have to pay attention. Lord Wang has greeted, so if you go out, you are wearing his name. Don't make him embarrassed when the time comes, and restrain your temper."

"Don't worry, Brother Ma. Can my brother not know this little thing? Guaranteed not to cause trouble for Lord Wang." Wang Shuo laughed and grabbed Ma Du's arm: "Go, go, Brother Ma, let's drink for a while longer. Today is truly too happy. You weren't wrong before; Lord Wang is indeed unusual, truly a god-man. At that time, we said..."

Ma Du shook his head helplessly, followed Wang Shuo and Ye Jing back into the store, and continued to drink...

Wang Yan's efficiency was naturally very high. Within three days, Wang Shuo became an editor of "Contemporary," which made him happy like a silly boy. And his own career, of course, was still in progress.

However, what he was engaged in were high-end research projects such as computers, aerospace, materials, and energy. The impact on people's livelihood certainly existed, but in fact, it couldn't show power in the early stage, or rather, the power shown couldn't be perceived by ordinary people. Only people in relatively high positions or relevant professionals were clear. With the establishment of projects such as the Huaxia Long Teng Space Station, aerospace planes, navigation satellites, quantum photonic biological computers, nuclear power engineering, and life science engineering, some national research laboratories began to share research results and transfer researchers.

In a short period of time, breakthroughs were made in many fields to a certain extent, and the progress of computers was even more frightening, basically changing every day. As a result, Wang Yan was placed on the altar and became one of the geniuses. He was also very genius before and had great contributions, but it was different from the current situation of comprehensive blooming, and the degree of shocking the world was also different.

In addition, the "Strengthening Pill" had already opened up the situation. Although a lot of taxes had been reduced and exempted, it could still pay a considerable amount of taxes, and it could also distribute a lot of money in dividends. The remaining money, besides company operations, was basically all invested in scientific research. Not to mention technological breakthroughs, it didn't need the country to spend money, and it could earn a lot of money, and it was US dollars. This feeling was truly too good.

Moreover, on the other hand, because of the massive amount of Chinese herbal medicine used by the Strengthening Pill, coupled with the "Medicine Farmer Getting Rich Plan" written by Wang Yan himself, a detailed plan for poverty alleviation and getting rich, after demonstration and research, was promoted in several major medicinal material producing areas in the country. This had no sequelae, because as long as medicinal materials were planted, the Long Teng Group would guarantee the bottom line, so there was no problem with large-scale promotion.

To put it plainly, it was still a problem of people and land. Some medicinal materials were in the forest, some were on the ground, and the growth cycle of medicinal materials was different. Planting in the ground took several years, delaying grain production, and there was also the impact of land fertility, etc. During this time, the medicine farmers who just started planting had no ability to resist risks and needed to cooperate with the loan policies promoted by the government. In addition, what needed to be promoted was professional and fine planting, which required continuous cultivation, which was a matter of time. If you want to see results, you have to wait for the first batch of medicinal materials planted in the ground to be harvested. If there is no accident, those people can directly rise to a well-off life...

However, if you want to say that since Wang Yan came to this world, besides the plot characters, who was most affected, it was probably not Old Liu.

Old Liu's resume was very clear. After graduating in 1966, he went to the Institute of Computing Technology of the Academy of Sciences to be an intern researcher. Except for going out to work for two years to exercise due to the situation in the middle, after returning, he was promoted to assistant researcher and had been engaged in research work. Thus, from assistant to 1983, he became a cadre of the Personnel Department, and only in 1984 did he lead some researchers to establish the predecessor of "Lenovo"—"Institute of Computing Technology New Technology Development Company of the Academy of Sciences."

But now Wang Yan had come. In six years, he caught up with the West's footsteps, thereby becoming an academician, and used three years to perfect the entire industrial chain of computers, with balanced development of software and hardware, and surpassed the West in some aspects. In nine years, Wang Yan's status was established. And in fact, since becoming an academician, he had completely taken charge of the research and development of computer technology. Naturally, he was the director of the Institute of Computing Technology.

Old Liu had also been the director, but that was a matter of 1995, relying on Lenovo. And Lenovo's rise started by relying on the convenience of public units to be "speculators," trading electronic watches, refrigerators, etc., and then opened up the situation by relying on Ni Guangnan's "Lenovo Chinese Character System," and then acting as an agent for IBM, which started the road of Lenovo.

Wang Yan only left the institute in 1985. Obviously, before that, the institute was his talk. Research, personnel, and finance were basically in his hands, and the research on computers itself was very successful. Nothing was lacking; what was lacking was production capacity.

【Stable operation for many years, the novel app, the source-changing app that old versions of bookworms are using, huanyuanapp. com】

The institute had the ability to provide computers for other project institutes and commercial companies. Coupled with the procurement of other state-owned enterprises and government units, as well as export business, although it always exploded their production capacity, it was precisely in this that the computer industrial chain was perfected. Also for the convenience of business dealings, they originally had affiliated companies specifically to connect business and earn money. And the name of this company, Wang Yan named it, "Shuguang" (Dawn)...

Naturally, Old Liu had nothing to do.

Wang Yan was too awesome, making the computer cause progress too fast, without giving him a chance to develop. And his research level was not too high, so he requested to work in the company affiliated with the institute.

This time the company was not established by him, nor did he do speculation, nor did he do agency, nor did he do labeling. In this case, he might be able to mix into a high position in the company by virtue of his own excellence, but if he wanted to be independent, and become a godfather in the business world like in reality, and create something like the Taishan Association, that would be awesome.

Because the difficulty was too high, Shuguang's business was too wide. They built high-performance supercomputers, they built commercial and civil use, and they cooperated with the requirements of the military and government. No matter how it was opened, no matter how it was changed, no matter how it was reformed, no matter how it was dismantled, it was absolutely impossible to separate.

And the key was that Wang Yan was still breathing. Although he didn't work there, he was even more awesome...

Liu Jinyou moved away from home when the restaurant was tidied up. He bought a two-entry courtyard, asked Wang Yan to help with water and electricity, lived in the restaurant first, and then moved in after the courtyard was tidied up. Although everyone tried their best to keep him—after all, there were so many rooms, and it wasn't that there was no place—the old guy still had a sense of propriety. After all, it was fine for Su Meng's parents to live together, but it wouldn't be right for this uncle-in-law to live there too.

Han Chunming's car trading was very successful, making this old fat boy earn about a million. Later, he used the nearly three million in his hands to buy another building and opened a large shopping mall. This was really what he pondered himself, without using the business introduced by Wang Yan, just helping to get a loan. The old guy had mixed in Hong Kong after all, and could be considered to have experienced the process of Hong Kong's take-off. The 1980s was the peak of Hong Kong, and he could know the process of urban development, so doing large-scale shopping malls was really quite good. Although there was no shortage of large shopping malls now, still the same saying, everything earned money at this time, and there was no such thing as market saturation.

Old Guan and "Broken" Hou, these two people, with the pass Wang Yan got for them, could be considered to have found work.

"Broken" Hou opened a restaurant with Liu Jinyou, and there was income every day, so he didn't have to sit and eat until the sky was empty. Moreover, he also invested some shares in the shopping mall opened by Liu Jinyou, which could be considered to have solved the expense problem. Because of the pass, he really liked those things and had no time to deal with business matters. So, unsurprisingly, he let his daughter Hou Sue, who had been begging for a long time, come forward to operate with Liu Jinyou. Then it was only a matter of time before these two people sparked sparks.

Now because of Wang Yan, Liu Jinyou's thinking had changed, and his actions were relatively cautious, which was much better than the original show. Maybe he would live a long time...

Han Chunming, the filial disciple, sent a car to pick up Old Guan and send him to the Palace Museum, and then followed "Broken" Hou every day, helping to organize and maintain cultural relics and antiques, while also enjoying the fun of playing with things. He didn't work for nothing; he got a lunch at the museum.

The Palace Museum curator acted quickly, had a brain, and had a level. After communicating with Wang Yan about cultural creation, the curator directly pulled in those intangible cultural heritages. In the current open pattern, facing the domestic people's yearning for foreign countries, this had a great influence.

Therefore, after the report was approved, they began to look for those folk craftsmen. After review, they directly acquired the things they made and stamped them with the Palace Museum's mark. They also set up a design group themselves, designing products containing Chinese culture under the current production conditions. Also because the information flow now was not as developed as the later internet era, they advertised in newspapers and television, and simultaneously launched the Palace Museum's own special magazine, which talked about the history of some cultural relics and the craftsmanship of some craftsmen...

As for Wang Shuo, after becoming an editor of "Contemporary," he had more contact, saw more, and listened to Wang Yan's suggestions, continuing to strengthen cultural learning, and his level improved significantly. Perhaps it was also because he was proud of the spring breeze, his inspiration exploded, and his output increased a lot. He published two short stories and one novella, opening up the situation in the literary world.

In fact, without Wang Yan's help, he would have become famous by his own ability, but it would definitely be much worse. And in the early stage of a person's fate trajectory, a little difference was thousands of miles away.

There was another one who was thousands of miles away, and that was Guan Guan Xiao Guan. Although there was no Taozi, she looked good, her work treatment was good, and she was showing her face in the hotel all day long. Naturally, in this process, someone took a fancy to her and pursued her, and the number was not small.

Among these pursuers, there must be one who stood out. This man was a salesman of a state-owned enterprise. Because of business dealings, he went to the hotel where Guan Guan Xiao Guan worked and thus met Guan Guan Xiao Guan. That was in 1984. After nearly three years of bitter pursuit, in the summer of 1987, the two successfully received their marriage certificate.

The place where they drank the wedding wine was "Cha Piao Xiang," which was the earliest to open and the largest in area among the many restaurants where Taozi held 60% of the shares... ===== CHAPTER 590 =====
