Chapter 334: Wei Ming: The sky has fallen!

Wei Ming went downstairs, not letting A-Min see him off. He patted his chest thrillingly; he almost made a mistake, fortunately, his will was firm.

He looked up and saw A-Min waving at him brightly.

A-Min wanted to send him to the airport, but Wei Ming didn't let her; he still had to return the car later.

A-Min had no choice but to watch the car disappear from her sight at home, and then she suddenly opened the door and began to climb desperately, climbing all the way to the rooftop terrace, so she could see the car again.

Even though she knew he probably couldn't see her, A-Min still waved while singing "Tomorrow Will Be Better" until she could no longer see the Mazda.

Wei Ming didn't go to the Xinhua Branch immediately, but found a shop selling video equipment.

Yesterday, the branch leaders also gave him a videotape, which was the videotape of the charity evening. This recorded his achievements of more than half a month.

In order for his family to see it, Wei Ming specifically came to buy a set of Panasonic cassette video equipment, and then bought some videotapes of Hong Kong, Taiwan, European, and American movies.

Now videotapes have started to become popular in the United States, and they have just started in Hong Kong, and the industrial scale is not yet large.

For this set of machines plus those videotapes, Wei Ming bought another luggage bag, and there were also gifts for family and friends, and for Sister Xue and Sister Lin, a full three bags.

It's just that I don't know if those videotapes can pass customs. Knowing that they would be checked, Wei Ming bought decent films, and the indecent ones were watched directly in Hong Kong.

Arriving at the Xinhua News Agency, Comrade Song Duanwu, who had initially picked up Wei Ming from the airport, sent him to the airport again.

"Teacher Qu Xiaosong, sending a guest a thousand miles must have an end, no need to send me in." Wei Ming said at the airport entrance.

"That won't do, I must watch you get on the plane to be at ease."

"Why, are you worried that I will stay in Hong Kong and not leave?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant, Wei Laoshi, look at you." Song Duanwu explained anxiously that it wasn't what he meant.

Wei Ming laughed: "Just joking, I have an appointment with someone, I have to send them away first."

"Oh oh oh, I understand, Melinda, right." Teacher Qu Xiaosong understood in seconds. With the spread of this song, this old relationship between Wei Ming and British international student Melinda could probably be passed down for many years.

"But so much luggage?" Song Duanwu looked at the trunk.

Wei Ming carried two bags in one hand and said dashingly: "Let's go."

Song Duanwu was dumbfounded. Everyone said that scholars had no power to truss a chicken, but Wei Laoshi was a bit different.

Wei Ming quickly found Melinda and the other who were waiting for him to see them for the last time.

"Bought so many things?" Melinda looked at him in surprise.

Wei Ming: "Materials in the mainland are scarce, and it's not very convenient to buy many things, so I just bought more here."

Not to mention that he still had a lot of US dollars in Hong Kong, which he couldn't spend at all.

Melinda: "Don't forget the Frankfurt Book Fair in October."

Wei Ming: "I'll try my best, it's troublesome to go out."

Melinda pressed against his face and said: "You'd better go. You are very famous now. The BBC interviewed you. Maybe other countries will also report your deeds. Perhaps a few works can be sold to the whole world more easily, French, German, Japanese versions, all are money. You must seize this opportunity."

"Alright, I will definitely overcome all difficulties when the time comes." Wei Ming said seriously.

Subsequently, Wei Ming chatted with Sarah for a few words. She was also going to the United States according to the company's arrangement to consolidate the performance of "Only Time" on the charts.

Now it was the first place on the Billboard for two weeks, and "Moonlight Shadow" had been the first for four weeks. If nothing unexpected happened, "Only Time" would complete a comprehensive surpassing of "Moonlight Shadow."

Sarah said: "I am very happy with this experience in Hong Kong. I hope to have a chance to see the mainland one day."

"There will be that day. I will arrange it when the time comes. Although Yanjing is not as highly modernized as Hong Kong now, as a foreign friend, your experience will not be bad."

They chatted for half an hour, and they had to board the plane. Wei Ming sent the two away first, and then arrived at the place where he was waiting for the plane.

He wanted to sit down and read the newspapers A-Min gave him, and then he was surrounded by people.

"Is that Wei Laoshi Ming?"

"Wei Ming who sang 'Pearl of the Orient'!"

"Comrade Wei Ming, well done!"

Many of these people were leaders from various departments across the country who came to Hong Kong on official business, and a small part were Hong Kong people who went to the mainland to do business. The former were naturally more enthusiastic and active, and the latter also had some appreciation in their eyes when looking at Wei Ming.

During the short time waiting for the plane, Wei Ming met many heads of various aspects in the country again. They even had business cards. Wei Ming collected a pile, but unfortunately, he didn't have any.

After getting on the plane, Wei Ming had the time to read the newspapers. First was "Ming Pao," and a whole page was about this concert.

It included both Yi Shu's high evaluation of Wei Ming's musical talent and analysis of each song, as well as the charity list of tycoons listed by "Ming Pao," listing the donation amounts of major tycoons. The two shipping tycoons topped the list, making a tie, and Li Chaoren followed closely behind.

However, what readers were most concerned about was an activity of "Selecting your favorite song in the August 8 charity performance," which encouraged readers to vote. It listed all the songs newly created by Wei Ming for the charity performance and the singers.

And A-Min had already made a choice on this newspaper, and she checked "Tomorrow Will Be Better."

Wei Ming also felt that these three non-Cantonese songs, "Tomorrow Will Be Better," "Pearl of the Orient," and "To Win, You Must Fight," might have more votes, after all, there were fewer competing products, and it was not easy to split the votes.

In addition, there was an article by Jin Yong, who highly praised the success of this charity performance and believed that it could be used as a model for latecomers to learn and imitate.

It's just that this thing was really not easy to imitate. Wei Ming felt that he couldn't do it a second time.

Wei Ming also read all the other newspapers, and even the reports of the right-leaning newspapers were relatively objective.

When he was about to arrive in Yanjing, a batch of newspapers was also sent to Wei Muchun's home in Taiwan, which was even richer than what Wei Ming had in his hands, not only with big newspapers but also with second and third-rate tabloids.

He put on his reading glasses and read them seriously. Although he had already received a call from Lingling, he still wanted to see the evaluation of this talented grand-nephew by media people.

After inspection, Wei Ming's luggage passed through Yanjing International Airport without any danger.

However, he had too many things and was too lazy to take the bus, so he called Biaozi at the airport and asked if he had time to pick him up.

"Must have time, Brother Ming, you wait!"

During the waiting process, Wei Ming bought some recent domestic newspapers and hadn't seen reports about his actions in Hong Kong.

The recent hot news in the mainland was Huang Zhicheng's uprising. He was the 90th member of the KMT Air Force to return to the embrace of the people by flying the 42nd plane.

And the day he flew back happened to be the day Wei Ming held the concert activity, which made Wei Ming couldn't help but squeeze a cold sweat for Mr. Chen Pide.

Wei Lingling: You still don't understand the strength of Uncle.

Biaozi didn't come alone, Little Mei also came.

Seeing Wei Ming sitting in the middle of four luggage bags, he smiled: "Thanks to me coming, otherwise how would you transport all these things back."

Wei Ming first took out a notebook from his backpack: "This was entrusted by Gong Ying for me to bring to you. She used her spare time to make clothing designs that are more in line with the mainland trend for you."

Mei Wenhua took it and immediately flipped through it: "Oh my, Sister Ying is too generous!"

Biaozi leaned over: "And it feels like the skill has increased!"

"Alright, put it away, send me back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment first."

On the way, Little Mei asked Wei Ming: "Brother Ming, how did your donation go?" Biaozi: "Yes, Xiao Yang has been concerned about this matter."

Wei Ming: "It was quite successful."

"Then how much money was raised?"

Wei Ming: "Over 100 million."

"Screech!" Two motorcycles braked at the same time, and Wei Ming was almost thrown out by inertia.

He added: "I'm talking about HKD, converted to RMB, it's about 50 million."

The two still looked at him incredibly. In the black market, HKD and RMB were one to one. In an era where ten-thousand-yuan households were rare, they actually heard an "hundred million" from a friend's mouth lightly!

Even at the current earning speed of Oriental Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi, they couldn't earn so much money in their lifetime.

"It's not my money, this is all to be used in the disaster area, and there are millions of disaster-stricken people. Calculated this way, the average amount each person gets is not much."

Although this money was raised by Wei Ming, he had no right to ask how it was used. It is estimated that more than half would be used for the restoration and construction of public facilities.

A heavy rain caused several railway trunk lines in Sichuan to be paralyzed directly, and some areas in Sichuan were directly blocked for a month. The losses in this regard were huge.

Then the two began to ask Wei Ming about the details of the donation incessantly, and they couldn't figure out how the 100 million came from. Are the Hong Kong people so generous?

Later, they realized that it was because the Hong Kong tycoons were too generous.

Wei Ming directly introduced the history of Li Jiacheng's fortune to them. His net worth is estimated to have exceeded 10 billion now.

"10 billion!"

The two had already lost their imagination about the concept of "hundred million," and now they heard about a 10-billion tycoon, and their brains almost crashed.

Arriving at the Overseas Chinese Apartment, the three worked together to move the luggage upstairs. Now only Grandma and Xu Yunyun were at home.

Yunyun's belly was big now, Little Mei didn't let her go to the store to sell clothes, so she came to accompany Grandma, and Little Mei would pick her up later.

Seeing her grandson back, Grandma hurriedly told him that the eldest uncle and eldest aunt had been contacted, and everyone was fine. Because their place was high, they didn't suffer much disaster, but the traffic was interrupted, and they lacked food and clothing.

Wei Ming held Grandma's hand: "Everything will be better soon."

"Oh, your father and mother," Grandma dialed the courtyard phone again, letting Wei Jiefang and his wife come back immediately after they were busy, "Little Ming is back."

Xu Shufen hurriedly said: "Alright, we will come back after delivering dinner to the store!"

Mei Wenhua said: "Second Aunt, let Xiao Yang and Xiao Hong get off work early."

Now Wei Hong was helping to manage the accounts at Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi. She did better than Mei Wenhua in this regard, reflecting the gold content of the Peking University Department of Mathematics.

Then Wei Ming called Uncle Ping'an again. He was indeed taking care of the children at home. Wei Ming asked their family of four to come over for dinner.

Wei Ping'an knew that his nephew went to Hong Kong to do big things, but he didn't know the results. Knowing he was back, he couldn't wait to lead Xile and prepare to set off.

In this way, except for the two lovers, Wei Ming's relatives and friends could basically all be present, so he began to install and debug that video recorder.

Yunyun and Grandma felt strange, but Little Mei and Biaozi were no strangers to this thing. They didn't watch less when they went to Shenzhen to get goods before.

However, they were all watching indecent things, so they couldn't help but look forward to it. I don't know what new works Master Li Hansiang had produced.

After installing the machine, Wei Ming first let Grandma and the others watch an old movie, Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Inn."

Don't look at Grandma as a woman, she quite liked watching martial arts movies, and her liking for "Heroes Emerge from Youth Since Ancient Times" and "Mysterious Buddha" exceeded "Herdsman" and "Joyous Reunion."

This representative work of Hu Jinquan quickly attracted the attention of several people, and Biaozi and Little Mei also watched with relish. Besides pillows, fists in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies were also quite interesting.

Wei Ming pulled Biaozi, who was engaged, and called him aside: "Go back and pick up Yanzi, eat here tonight, and tell Sister Lin that I'm back."

Biaozi reluctantly looked at the TV for the last time: "Alright."

Facing Wei Ming, Biaozi was a bit hesitant. He wanted to tell Brother Ming that Sister Xue and Sister Lin often hung out together.

However, Yanzi didn't let him spread gossip, and said something about being confused is rare.

Uncle Ping'an brought the two little guys very quickly. "Dragon Inn" had just been performed halfway, and Xizi hurriedly asked Brother Wenhua what was said before.

"How much was raised?" Uncle Ping'an chatted with Wei Ming in the study.

Grandma just asked too, Wei Ming didn't say: "Wait a minute, you will know. Instead of me saying it over and over again, you might as well watch it directly."

"Watch it directly?" Wei Ping'an glanced at the video recorder outside.

Wei Ming said: "I brought back the videotape of the charity concert."

"Oh!"

Next to come back were Wei Jiefang, Xu Shufen, Wei Hong, and Long Xiaoyang.

The same question, Wei Ming's same answer: "When everyone is here, we will watch the concert videotape."

Xu Shufen: "Then I'll cook first."

Lao Lao Lao Wei shook the motorcycle key: "I'll go out and buy some cooked food."

Wei Ming felt that he should equip Lao Lao Lao Wei with a motorcycle, and it didn't cost much money.

Before, it took a lot of effort to buy a motorcycle, but now Wei Ming could go directly to the Friendship Store to pick one up, without considering the price and exchange rate issues.

At this time, Wei Hong and Lele came over with a cassette: "Song, will we be able to hear another version of 'Tomorrow Will Be Better' later?"

Wei Ming took the cassette: "Yes, and I also sang a song."

Now Wei Hong was even more expectant, but Wei Ming was stunned when he looked at the cassette.

On the cover of the cassette was the list of singers for the mainland version of "Tomorrow Will Be Better." Sure enough, it was full of stars, and even actors were there, what Zhang Yu, what Liu Xiaoqing, what Gong Xue? What Zhu Lin!

Wei Ming asked Little Hong to help her mother, and then asked Lele: "Lele, when you went to Guangzhou to record songs, did you see Sister Gong Xue and Sister Zhu Lin at the same time?"

"Yes."

Wei Ming's heart skipped a beat. It's over, the king met the king!

Could it be that those bastard things of his had already been exposed in front of them?!

"Cough cough~" Wei Ping'an heard their conversation and pulled his nephew aside, "I took Lele and Xizi to Guangzhou. Gong Xue and Zhu Lin lived in the same room."

Hearing this news, Wei Ming stepped back two steps.

At this time, the door behind him opened, and Biaozi brought the heavily pregnant Yanzi over.

Biaozi gave Wei Ming a wink, and the two went out to talk.

"Brother Ming, Sister Lin is not at home, but..."

"But what."

Biaozi pulled him and walked further away: "But Sister Xue is there~"
