Back to 80: My Literary Life

"My fellow villager, what's his name?" Fang Minghua asked on the phone.

"My name is Feng Lun, the boss of a company called Wantong, graduated from Northwestern University. People say that they heard your lectures when they were in Northwestern University."

Feng Lun? !

Fang Minghua had certainly heard of this name, wasn't he one of the famous "Six Gentlemen of Wantong"?

Feng Lun graduated from Northwestern University, but Fang Minghua didn't know whether he had heard his lectures.

"How did you get to know Feng Lun?" Fang Minghua asked.

"Hey, I'm planning to get into real estate, so of course I have to get to know some people in the real estate circle. I met him at a dinner party. He is a real Xijing native, our fellow villager, and he also worked in a government unit, and finally resigned to start his own business. This is similar to my experience, so we became friends." Zhao Hongjun replied.

"I ran into him today when I went to the government to do some work. We chatted for a while. He heard that I had been accompanying you for a few days, and he immediately became interested and said he wanted to meet you. How about meeting you?"

"Okay, let's meet. Where is it?"

"You stay in the room, I'll call him and come to find you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Fang Minghua hung up the phone and continued watching his TV.

The so-called "Wantong Six Gentlemen" are Feng Lun and Pan Shiyi.

Feng Lun graduated from Northwest University. It is said that he also worked in the Central Party School and the State Commission for Restructuring the Economy. If he had not devoted himself to the business world, he would definitely be a scholar-official. Later, he wrote many books after he became successful.

What about "Wild Growth" and "Ideal Fullness", basically they are about economy and real estate.

It is said that a movie was also made and played online. A large number of business tycoons such as Jack Ma, Tang Jun, Yu Minhong, Wang Shi, Kai-Fu Lee, Pan Shiyi, Zhang Chaoyang, and Robin Li were summoned to star.

Security guard: Tang Jun

HR director: Jack Ma

Delivery boy: Yu Minhong

This is what Fang Minghua saw online before he came to this era. It feels very fresh, but I haven't seen the movie he made.

Feng Lun came to Hainan after the province was established. At the beginning, he didn't do it for money. He used the 300,000 yuan he earned from reselling color TVs to build the Hainan System Reform Research Institute.

During that time, Feng Lun drove the broken van lent to him by the province all day long and traveled to every city and county in Hainan, determined to contribute to the development of Hainan.

However, ideals are full, and reality is very skinny.

The economic difficulties forced him to start his own company again. With his unparalleled eloquence, he persuaded the president of a trust company. As Fang Mu said before, he earned the first pot of gold, and Wantong began to grow and develop.

Compared with Feng Lun, who is half intellectual and half businessman, Pan Shiqian is a pure businessman. It is said that Pan Shiqian is from Long Province and a child from a poor family. Unlike the other six gentlemen of Wantong, Pan Shiyi devoted himself to real estate and made huge wealth.

SOHO Real Estate has become synonymous with high-end luxury homes, but later the donation of 15 million US dollars to Harvard University caused great controversy.

The world has changed, but the common Harvard-American complex in the hearts of these 1980s college students has not changed.

But later the online reputation seemed to have changed.

Pan Shiyi withdrew from the real estate industry, leaving no unfinished buildings and not cheating ordinary home buyers. He is simply a conscientious businessman.

Fang Minghua was lying on the bed staring at the TV, thinking wildly in his mind. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. He went to open the door and saw that there were three people standing at the door.

Except for Zhao Hongjun, he didn't know the other two.

They all wore glasses, were about 30 years old, and were in their prime.

Fang Minghua asked the three people to enter the house, and Zhao Hongjun introduced them with a smile.

"This is Feng Lun, chairman of Wantong Industrial Corporation." He pointed to the man with a slightly receding hairline and said.

"Hello, Chairman Fang."

"Hello, Mr. Feng."

"This is Wang Gongquan, Vice Chairman and General Manager of Wantong Industrial Corporation." Zhao Hongjun pointed to the square-faced man next to him and explained.

He is also one of the "Six Gentlemen of Wantong", but he is not Pan Shiyi?

They don't look alike.

"Hello, Chairman Fang"

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

After the three shook hands, Feng Lun said in Guanzhong dialect: "I heard from Hongjun that you came to Haikou, so I wanted to visit you. You can be considered my teacher."

Fang Minghua naturally understood that Feng Lun was referring to the fact that he had listened to his lectures as a student, and hurriedly modestly refused to accept it.

At this time, Wang Gongquan next to him interrupted, speaking Mandarin with a northeastern accent: "Chairman Fang, I heard from Mr. Zhao that your ancestral home is in Liaoning Province?"

"Yes, Shenyang."

"I am from Gongzhuling, Jilin. We are both from the Northeast, so we are also fellow villagers." Wang Gongquan said with a smile.

"Yes, fellow countryman."

Anyway, people from the three provinces in the Northeast are all fellow countrymen

The above words are just polite words in social interaction, but they can bring people closer. The three of them were about to sit down and chat, when Zhao Hongjun spoke.

"What's the point of a few grown men sitting in the room? How about going to the dance hall of the hotel and finding a private room to drink and chat?"

"Hongjun's idea is good!" Feng Lun was the first to agree: "Chairman Fang, let's go upstairs and have fun, I'll treat you!"

The three of them invited enthusiastically, and Fang Minghua had to follow them to the tenth floor.

The dance hall in Wanghai Building was also very lively. The four of them did not go to the big dance hall, but asked for a private room, which was mainly for karaoke.

Of course, you can karaoke by yourself, or you can ask girls to sing together. There was no such thing as princesses at that time.

Since the four of us came here mainly to chat, there was no need to find those revealing ladies to avoid distraction.

Zhao Hongjun ordered beer and fruit plates, and the four of them ate and chatted.

Fang Minghua thought Feng Lun and others would talk about real estate, but they didn't expect that they would talk about literature.

"Chairman Fang, I remember it was in 1982, I was a senior at the time, and I listened to your stream of consciousness in the West Auditorium. I felt it was very interesting. However, I majored in economics and management, so I didn't understand it a little bit, but the story of "The Legend of Wukong" you talked about was really interesting." Feng Lun smiled.

"Later, the book "The Legend of Wukong" was published in China, and I bought a copy to read."

"Feng Lun, I'm different from you. I really like literature." Wang Gongquan interrupted: "Like Chairman Fang, I have a pen name."

"Pen name?"

"Gongquan's pen name is Qi Fang." Feng Lun said: "He likes poetry, especially ancient poetry. Hey, has Gongquan written any poems recently?"

"Don't tell me, I really wrote one." Wang Gongquan put down the beer glass in his hand and said: "Chairman Fang, you are a great writer, I am embarrassing myself in front of you."

After speaking, he cleared his throat and read aloud.

Lang Tao Sha·Mid-Autumn Wish:

The jade sky is full of breeze, and the moon is like a flower. I miss Jiangdong thousands of miles away during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this moment, I can't express my longing for you, so I send it to the sky.

The distant geese send deep affection and pray for the sky! The yellow chrysanthemums are all dyed with the red maple leaves. In the silver moon, my heart is with you.

Huh?

It really has the flavor of ancient literati.

Fang Minghua smiled and applauded.

Everyone chatted and sang for a while, and then went their separate ways after 10 o'clock.

After Feng Lun and the other person left, Zhao Hongjun asked Fang Minghua: "Minghua, what do you think of Feng Lun?"

"Did he ask you about your plan to do real estate?" Fang Minghua asked back.

"Hey, do you still need to ask? Nine out of ten people who come to Hainan to do business are doing this. Of course, if they are not partners or have a very close relationship, they will not tell you how to do it. In the business world, peers are opponents."

Fang Minghua nodded and said, "I think Feng Lun is a good person and worth making friends with, but as you said, friends are friends and business is business."

"Okay, I understand, you take a rest, I'll take you to the airport tomorrow." Zhao Hongjun was about to leave after saying this, but was stopped by Fang Minghua.

"Hongjun, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Take some time to go to Xijing recently. Minmin misses you."

After hearing this, Zhao Hongjun sighed softly and said, "Minghua, you know, we have to set up a company and buy land now. There are so many things to do. I probably don't have time - but during the Spring Festival, I will definitely come this year and spend some time with her."

"Okay, I get it. You can do your own things tomorrow and you don't have to see me off."
