On the fifteenth day of August, clouds cover the moon, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, snow lights. It's strange to say that it snows on the fifteenth day of the first month. It snows for several years. This year is no exception. It snows on the night of the provincial capital.
Wang Dong brought back many specialties, such as walnuts, persimmons and chestnuts, and asked Wang Lu to give them to Han Ying. Han Ying felt very kind when she saw these mountain goods. When she was in Taihang steel plant, after Bailu every year, when the villagers finished collecting walnuts, her sisters went to the mountain in pairs to pick them up. Although I can't find much in a day, I enjoy it. After arriving in the city, this kind of day is gone, and the human relationship is relatively weak. I miss it.
Wang Lu saw that Sheng Li had not come back from work, and said, "sister, would you like to eat together in the evening?" Han Ying was reminded of a strong nostalgia, happily agreed: "well, we can also be considered to spend the Lantern Festival."
Sheng Li and his wife came to eat. It was a big event. Li Qiushui cooked sixteen dishes, eight cool and eight hot. The small dishes fell down, and the large ones filled the table. Han Ying didn't treat herself as an outsider. She raised her glass and said, "you've come back to your hometown for the Spring Festival, and we're left alone. This time we're reunited. Come on, let's raise our glasses and celebrate together. Happy Lantern Festival! Wish you a prosperous business Wang Lu said: "I also wish my brother-in-law a hundred feet further!"
Sheng Li picked up his glass and touched everyone, saying: "Happy Lantern Festival, common progress!" After dinner, Li Qiushui talked about what he had seen and heard in Taihang steel plant. For a moment, everyone was filled with emotion.
Wang Lu said: "this is the disease of state-owned enterprises, which can be summed up in one sentence: low efficiency in earning money, unrestrained spending, cultivating a number of excellent staff and incubating a number of corrupt elements. In my opinion, as long as private capital is allowed to enter that industry, the collapse of state-owned enterprises will happen sooner or later. "
Han Ying said with a smile: "you are a small capitalist now, and your stance is different." Wang Lu blushed and said, "what I said is true. Taihang steel works, for example, ultimately relies on bank loans to make a living. The profits generated are not enough to repay the interest of the bank. The more loans, the bigger the hole. "
"You're really talking about this situation," he said. The root of the state-owned enterprise disease lies in the system, which is manifested as unclear positioning, unclear responsibility, ineffective supervision and serious internal friction. "Poor supervision, serious internal friction" will lead to what you call this phenomenon. Sitting on a huge amount of resources, it is actually scattered and weak.
It's hard to be big enough to compete with the people, to be strong enough to monopolize, to reform to transfer benefits, and to maintain to criticize! We can't do without reform, but to reform, we must first make clear the positioning of state-owned enterprises, otherwise the people will not agree. Is it just that the current positioning is not clear, is it public welfare and economy? Key areas and competitive areas? Service or money? Even the state or the party? It is difficult to form a unified understanding, resulting in a lot of meaningless arguments and even more confusion about the direction of the development of state-owned enterprises. "
"In fact, there are also state-owned enterprises in the United States, but the proportion of state-owned enterprises in the U.S. economy is very low. Most of them are involved in public fields such as postal service, electric power, public transportation, air traffic control, environmental protection, museums and parks," Guan said. Most of them are not for profit, not for the maintenance and appreciation of state-owned assets, but for the provision of public goods and services.
Not only in China, but also in the United States, state-owned enterprises are seriously ill. When it comes to state-owned enterprise disease, most Americans may first think of two. One is the national railway passenger transportation company of the United States, and the other is the U.S. post office. However, the service and efficiency of these two enterprises are notoriously poor. It's said that it's common to send a package through the U.S. post office before it arrives in Beijing for two months. "
"It shows that state-owned enterprises are an unsolved problem," Wang said. One day Taihang steel plant can't hold on. We'll buy it. It's our root. We don't want to see it go bankrupt, and we don't want our former colleagues and friends to be displaced. " Han Ying said: "I can't see that Xiao Wang Lu's ambition is not small. You become the boss and your sister works for you. Ha ha." Wang Lu said with a smile: "sister, you laugh at me."
Sheng Lixin said that the couple's ambition is not small. If they have a chance, they can make it happen. It's reasonable for the public and the private. So he said: "there must be a disposal plan for such a huge amount of state-owned assets. It won't disappear out of thin air. As for how to change it, it's very complicated and reasonable. Wait and see. There's no hurry. "
After dinner, night has come. The traffic flow on the road, the light of street lights and the flashing of neon lights form a sea of lights. I haven't seen the Lantern Festival in the provincial capital yet. After dinner, the whole family wrapped up tightly and went to the street with tiny snowflakes.
Not far from the residential area is an old street. The shops on both sides of the old street are very prosperous. When you walk in, you can see that most of them sell handicrafts: handmade bamboo flower baskets, small tables and chairs, colorful and exquisitely designed oil paper umbrellas, gorgeous silk garments and handkerchiefs, red Chinese knots, big carp, lifelike jade and stone carvings, and Longquan swords with exquisitely carved patterns. Some also sell snacks: Xihu lotus root powder, Tianjin hemp flower, stinky tofu and wushansu Oil cake, Dingsheng cake The flow of people is very busy.
When the flower is in bloom, the fragrance is hidden; when the lantern is on, the mystery is busy. There are red lanterns at the door of every shop, which are painted with beautiful patterns. There are children, three pools reflecting the moon, lotus leaves and red carp in different shapes. From a distance, the gorgeous lanterns make the night shine like day, and the distant lights are like stars, extending to the sky. Upstairs lights like the moon hanging, lit up the girl's beautiful smile.Xiaobaomu was too busy. Suddenly, he pointed to a shop and yelled: "little baby! Baby Guan Shanyue turned around and saw that it was a porcelain shop. Xiaobao was referring to a child's pillow porcelain. She said, "you walk first, I'll go in and have a look."
Guan Shanyue came into the shop with Xiaobao in her arms and took a general look. She was disappointed to see that they were all modern handicrafts. The shopkeeper was a thin, middle-aged man in his thirties. He said, "boss, have a look. These are all our Ding products. They are very exquisite."
As a porcelain player, Guan Shanyue certainly knows Ding kilns. Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Ding are known as the five kilns of the Song Dynasty, and the site of Ding kiln is nearby. And the products in this store are based on the antique, bringing forth the new through the old. In terms of quality and delicacy, they are naturally comparable to the products of Song Dynasty, but no matter how good they are, they are also handicrafts. Guan Shanyue, who is not interested in them, said, "I only like the old ones, but I don't like the new ones."
The shopkeeper took a look at Guan Shanyue and saw that he was not well dressed. He looked like a rich man. He said with a smile, "coincidentally, I have old things here. Do you want to see them?" How can Guan Shanyue believe it? And he said, "what a coincidence?" The owner Yile said: "as a shop specializing in Ding kiln porcelain, it's hard to say that there are few pressed cases. In the past, we used to do antique business at home. Now it's more and more difficult to do antique business, so we began to act as agents for our Ding kiln products. "
"The color of Ding Zhou porcelain is white all over the world." Ding kiln white porcelain developed from Xing kiln white porcelain, and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. In the middle and later period of Northern Song Dynasty, Ding kiln was selected as palace porcelain by the government of Song Dynasty because of its fine quality, elegant color and beautiful decoration, which greatly increased its value and made its products popular for a time.
It can be imagined that if the owner has a treasure from Ding kiln in Song Dynasty, who is still selling crafts here? Then he saw the shopkeeper take out a few pieces of porcelain from the bottom box of the shelf, a cup, a bowl and a pot, and put them on the counter one by one.
Guan Shanyue glanced at it and felt that it might be a good thing? Take a closer look at the bowl. It's a Ding kiln eight petal flower bowl. The bottom of the bowl is engraved with peony. The knife is sharp and freehand. Under the flowers, the leaves arch the flowers. It seems to be swaying with the wind. The lines are flowing, and a few strokes are vivid and interesting. The eight petals on the inner wall are all carved with folded lotus patterns. The flowers are euphemistic and slightly different in shape. The lotus leaves stretch out, simple and elegant. The color of the whole body is as white as teeth, bright and soft, giving people a pleasant and refined feeling. Look at the bottom of the bowl, printed with a freehand "official" word, my heart can not help beating.
The pot is a lotus petal pattern holding pot, and the cup is a black glazed partridge spot cup. Guan Shanyue doesn't want to take a close look. This bowl is enough. Although it has been weathered for thousands of years, it is as simple as ever. Think about it and ask: "boss, I want to buy these for gifts, but I don't quite understand. Do you have a certificate of identification?"
The boss said, "my father bought it in Baoding in his early years, and it has always been at home. My father passed away years ago. I found these treasures after I cleaned up my family. Ben is going to the antique shop to ask the price after the festival. I don't want to meet you. It's also called fate. "
Guan Shanyue asked, "how much are you going to sell?" The boss said, "seriously, I don't understand. My father keeps these porcelains as treasure all the time. I vaguely remember that my father said that each one is enough for me to marry my daughter-in-law. Although it was cheap to marry a daughter-in-law in those years, antiques have been turned over a lot in recent years, haven't they? How about a million? "
Guan Shanyue said with a smile: "your daughter-in-law is expensive enough. You can buy the best house in the provincial capital and an imported car. It looks like an old thing, but we're just buying and selling here. I'm worried. Three million is not a decimal. Can it be cheaper? "
The owner said, "my father let our Antique master Xie Zhi see it. He said it was true. If you don't buy it, I'll entrust him to sell it. I don't think it's three million yuan or much worse. " Guan Shanyue's heart thumped. He knew that Xie Zhi's family used to play antiques. It was better to start early, so he said, "really? I've heard of Xie Zhi. So, how about 800000 for each, 3824 for each? "
The shopkeeper was very happy when he saw that Guan Shanyue wanted to buy it. He thought he could buy a million yuan for three pieces. It seemed that he had met a big fish and said, "no, at least two hundred and eight."
At this time, Xiaobao had already been bored, struggling to go out, coaxed a few words, regardless, Guan Shanyue said: "OK, according to what you said, put it up for me." Then he put Xiaobao on the pillow and wrote a check to the boss.
The shopkeeper took the check and said, "we small business people don't know about checks? I just want cash. " Guan Shanyue said, "where can I get cash for you in the evening? Why don't I come back tomorrow? "
