"This is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. You are so excited. What do you think everyone will think if you are dismissed? Isn't it a waste of time to dampen the enthusiasm of employees?" "Haha, I am too happy. "Vagabond" Zhao Shuren was a little embarrassed that he didn't have a child to calm down yet. After a little embarrassment on his old face, he couldn't wait to reveal some other details that he hadn't had time to say: "Random House said, this time you This book has great hopes of winning the award. Originally, its sales in Britain have always been relatively mediocre. Because it is a book written by a Chinese author, it is not very popular. But as soon as this nomination came out, the sales of "Tulum" How do you say it? It surged instantly! Do you know that this is the recognition of readers? With this kind of market reputation, it is said that the judges will also consider the chapters of the novel." Yang nodded, which was not too much to dampen the old master's excitement. Even if he accepted his congratulations, he said: "It depends on the situation. I will win or lose my life. You don't need to pay too much attention. As long as the market response is good. Grandpa Zhao, please don't announce this matter yet. At least we have to wait until the re-election results come out. " Zhao Shuren could understand Yang Yi's caution and nodded in agreement, but looking at his red face, it was obvious that he could not calm down so easily. After sending Zhao Shuren away, Yang Yi was also thinking about the impact of this incident on Yang Yi's culture. It would be fine if he didn't win the prize in the end, but what if he messed up the history of history and ended up winning the Booker Prize? , then there is no doubt that the faint shadow that still hangs over Yangyi Culture is still there. Eventually they will disperse, even if there are still people who won’t let you go. But the general environment at that time will not allow these negative voices to exist. In general. It is beneficial but harmless. It’s just that he still can’t figure out why he was nominated for the Booker Prize. The cooperation with Random House is only a very small proportion of the positive factors. Considering that Britain's policies and attitudes towards China have always been cautious or even targeted, and there is a BBC over there whose mission is to slander China. Regarding television, Yang Yi always felt that it was unimaginable that his book "Tu Bump" could be nominated. In the end, the news was just notified to Rogo. Although others had heard some rumors, under the dual control of Yang Yi and Fatty Luo, the editors in the editorial department who knew about this matter were all given a silence order. In the afternoon, I sent the script to Su Wan, and after spending some peaceful time with the girl, I planned to have dinner there, but suddenly I received a call from my uncle. "Xiao Yi, if you have time now, go back to your hometown. Someone is coming to our Xizhi to cause trouble again." After hanging up the phone, Yang Yi almost didn't need to think too much and guessed that it was Minghui Group again. moth. After returning to Yuezhou a few days ago, Luo Ge told what happened that day. They told him everything, and the two of them even went to Ji Tangdan's house to express their gratitude to the old couple. Naturally, I did not forget to follow Zhai Yunfang to Xizhi to visit the ancient town and the residents of the ancient town. But I didn't expect that less than a week later, the Minghui Group would go to the ancient town to cause trouble again. After saying a few words of relief to my uncle. As soon as Yang Yi hung up the phone, Luo Ge also called. He is now the partner and only shareholder of Yangyi Culture, and is also the general manager of Yangyi Tourism. Naturally, he is indispensable for such matters. Soon, Luo Ge arrived under the building, then took the company's current legal affairs, and the group drove straight to Xizhi Ancient Town. When we arrived in the town, it was already dark, but the residents of the town still separated some young adults to block under the archway at the entrance of the town to prevent the Minghui Group from secretly driving engineering machinery into the ancient town in the middle of the night. , taking advantage of the midnight to do the construction. When Yang Yi and Luo Ge got out of the car, the first thing they saw was that the two groups were confronting each other without giving in. The scene was as chaotic as a vegetable market, and harsh curse words were heard from time to time. This time Yang Yi did not come forward. People in Minghui Group would not look at a child in a different light or even follow his advice because of his achievements in writing, or they would be frightened by him. It was Luo Ge who was negotiating with the Minghui Group. The fat man stood in front of a few people who looked like engineering managers with great momentum, and helped the old people in the town argue with each other. From time to time he would say, "Your boss's fault." I also know the background,” and “Don’t think I have nothing to do with you” and other threats. Yang Yi, on the other hand, came to a group of relatives and explained to his elders with relief: "Don't worry, cousin, the problem here will be solved soon, and their Minghui Group won't be able to stay in power for long. " Of course there is a reason for the young man to say this. In the previous life, Xiao Guotao, the boss of Minghui Group, did not end well. He was involved in a substandard project that was widely implicated.After the news was revealed, the top officials of the provincial government were furious because of the collapse of the project, which resulted in many casualties. They directly dispatched elite troops from the Public Security Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate to seize the relevant personnel involved in each project in one fell swoop. Later, during the investigation, many people within the Yuezhou City Government were also involved, and some people were imprisoned. Many department-level officials were even thrown into jail. After these officials were dismissed, Minghui Group naturally lost its protective umbrella and was sealed up. It is said that the property finally returned to Xiao Guotao's immediate family was less than one percent of the entire Minghui Group's industry. During the evidence collection against Xiao Guotao, the public security department also obtained a series of evidence that the boss bribed local officials. Regarding such a matter, which although it can be regarded as big local news, but is not within the scope of Yang Yi's concern in nature, the young man remembers such emotions only because of the problem of newspaper layout. In the previous life, Yang Yi got it from a colleague. After reading the newspaper, the first line of words that caught my eye after reading the title was the intentional layout of the reporter who wrote this report: Yang Moumou, male, 47 years old, Policy and Regulation Monitoring of Yuezhou City Land and Resources Bureau Section Chief (Administrative Approval Section), accepted a bribe of RMB 680,000 on November 11, 1998 That report was obviously to attract attention, so it did not explain the cause and effect of the matter at the beginning, but listed the relevant officials involved one by one. Listed out. And that Double 11 day, known as Singles' Day in later generations, plus the number one name of bribery. Only then did Yang Yi remember it very clearly. If this were not the case, how could he not be moved by Minghui Group's overtures with such confidence? Listen to what Yang Yi said. The confidence of those relatives has improved a lot. His second cousin stared at Minghui Group angrily and did not hide his hatred: "As long as you can guarantee it, Xiaoyi, then we will have confidence." No one in the town is afraid of the Minghui Group. So what if they are a big group? Let alone a construction team, even if they bring everyone over, You see, we in Xizhi are easy to bully! The key is to worry about the government's problems. You also know that there is a saying that the people do not fight with the officials. No matter how powerful we are, we can't stand up to the police who say you are gathering a crowd. Fighting disturbs public order. So as long as you solve this problem, don't worry about the rest. If you can't even save your own home, why do we have the nerve to come to see you and the experts who are repairing the town?" Uncle Yang Yi. These words obviously represent the thoughts of most people. They are not afraid of the Minghui Group, but they are only worried that someone will collude with government officials and businessmen to label them as illegal elements in the name of the government. "Don't worry. Now that I have said this, I will never let you down. Xizhi is our home, and our ancestors have lived here for generations. Why should outsiders come in when they say they want to? And Minghui Group only got the project Approval. But there is simply insufficient evidence in terms of land. Even the municipal land bureau cannot dispose of the village collective land at will. If we don't want to sell it, we can't force it to be bought. This is true for us everywhere." Yang Yi looked around. of neighbors. The young people are confronting each other in front, and most of the rest are from the older generation: "Don't fight with those people. Each family should restrain the elder brothers and uncles of each family, and don't let them be used by others. I don’t want to do anything irrational. As long as you wait two more weeks, the matter will definitely be resolved.” In fact, after two weeks, will Xiao Guotao continue to bribe the person from the Land and Resources Bureau? Section Chief, Yang Yi can't say this. After all, after having his butterfly, many of the trajectories of past lives have been tampered with beyond recognition. There is no Yang Yi culture in history, nor is there another stream that is brand new but antique. But now these things have been created by him out of thin air, so he really can't be 100% sure. But even without Xiao Guotao's bribery, he still has other resources at his disposal, such as the yearning of the residents of the ancient town for a better life, such as Yangyi Culture's current Internet layout, and the agreement he reached with Mei Luohua. After hearing about Xizhi Ancient Town After the incident, the director of Oriental Channel was also furious about the banditry committed by Minghui Group and individual officials. Although it was impossible for him to send reporters to cover and expose this incident due to the direct management of the Magic City Culture and Broadcasting Department, he Having been involved in the system for half his life, this director also has his own plan on how to save the country through legal means. The plan he proposed was to have "Super Girl" enter the nationwide semi-finals. The first episode would be recorded in Xizhi. If the matter was urgent, the auditions for the Southeast Division could also be arranged in the ancient town. The town provides accommodation and venues for the program, while Oriental Station protects the ancient town by recording the program. It is a win-win situation that everyone is happy with. With Mei Luohua's suggestion, Yang Yi was naturally confident and didn't care about the threat from Minghui Group.With the show’s terrifying ratings, it is inevitable that Xizhi will attract the attention of TV viewers across the country. Xizhi, who is under this kind of attention, is naturally not afraid of anyone illegally entering. Yang Yi's uncle nodded, and his face looked much better. After Yang Yi was told what to say, he took him to visit the old experts who were staying in Xizhi. When the boy rushed over, the old people who had been accommodated in a family hotel were discussing the further maintenance of Xizhi Ancient Town: "Old Wang, you see, the original drainage system in the town was built during the Republic of China, and it can no longer keep up. It is necessary now, and I think that as more and more people travel, this problem will become more prominent. How about asking Ronaldinho to hire some manpower to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the groundwater situation in the entire ancient town? , and then install two high-power low-area variable frequency water pumps in places where the water source is sufficient and will not easily cause the expansion of non-linear unloading cracks. This also protects local water and soil resources" Seeing this scene, I feel that I will not be easily moved. The reborn boy couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and admiration in his heart at this moment. Perhaps these old people stayed in Xizhi first from an academic point of view, but their actions have really made this thousand-year-old town become more and more beautiful. The better. With my obsession with culture, the fellow villagers’ maintenance of their hometown, and the dedication of these old experts to the ancient town, there is no reason why they cannot protect this land and water.
