Chapter 117 Treat at the Beijing Hotel! (Subscribe)
In this era, Shen Juncheng's ideas represent most of the ideas of this era. Not many people care about antiques.
In the past few years, countless calligraphy and paintings and ancient books were torn up and burned. No one cared about the value of these things.
To Shen Juncheng and his men, these things were no different from junk.
"You don't understand. In short, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. The prosperous times are coming soon. Just bring them back and I'll keep them."
Li Changhe was too lazy to explain to him because you couldn't explain it.
Even including the upcoming reforms, ordinary people don’t know what the reforms are.
All they know is that the higher-ups have issued new regulations and they are only responsible for enforcing them.
In fact, even in the future this will be the case. Most people will not know what the various decrees issued by the country mean.
Smart people will read the interpretations and analyses of various professionals, while lazy people will just wait for changes to happen to them step by step and passively follow social changes.
"Okay, just say you want to collect it!"
Shen Juncheng shook his head and said directly.
"There is one more thing I want to remind you!"
"If you encounter a Buddha who commits a crime here again, you can bring people to cleanse them directly, but don't let them go after cleaning them. Hand them over to the GA Bureau!"
Li Changhe said to Shen Juncheng seriously.
Shen Juncheng frowned this time: "Changhe, isn't this against the rules? It's ok to just wash it, but do you have to send it to the cannon bureau?"
In the past, people would wash the Buddha statues, take the money and leave it at that, and they would not be sent to a gambling house.
In fact, there are many reasons. On the one hand, it is because of the underworld atmosphere, and on the other hand, it is because of the special environment at that time.
But then, Li Changhe knew that this situation would soon change, especially in a few years.
Damn it, with Shen Juncheng’s habits, if he doesn’t maintain good relations with the relevant agencies, he will never be able to avoid the next wave.
"rule?"
"What rules do you want to talk about?"
"Jun Cheng, in essence, are there any differences between the stubborn people and the old soldiers, and the playboys and hooligans during the Republic of China?"
"It's nothing more than a better-sounding name. The so-called rules of the underworld are nothing in front of guns and cannons!"
"What are you in front of the state organs? No matter how powerful you were in the past, if the higher-ups asked you to go to the countryside, wouldn't you have gone there obediently?"
"I'm telling you, times have changed, and the country is about to undergo major changes."
"Don't use the perceptions of previous years to look at the present. What you need to do is not to be a gangster leader in Zhongguancun, but to be an outstanding cadre who assists law enforcement agencies in maintaining local order. Do you understand?"
"If anyone dares to come to our Zhongguancun to steal in the future, they will be stealing from our fellow villagers, our relatives and friends. Who knows, one day that uncle, your parents or my parents might be robbed when they go out on the street."
"Can this situation be tolerated?"
"So we have to set this rule for them in the future. Anyone who comes here to commit a crime will be sent to prison if we catch them. This is to protect the country and the people, understand?"
Li Changhe said to Shen Juncheng tactfully.
Shen Juncheng nodded, and said with sudden enlightenment: "I see, I understand now. We just need to take care of our own little piece of land. No problem."
"Also, remember, don't recruit those who commit crimes. Don't forget that our purpose is to help those in need, not to let local hooligans bully you."
Li Changhe said to Shen Juncheng seriously.
Shen Juncheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Changhe, when have we ever done anything like that?"
"You and I believe it, but can you guarantee that the people below won't do anything when the time comes? What about the brothers who are recruited below?"
"When the younger brother commits a crime, the boss takes the blame. If they are caught one day, they will directly bite your head and say that you were the one who ordered it. How will you defend yourself?"
"Damn, what you said is really possible."
Shen Juncheng is not a fool. This kind of thing is usually like this. Another characteristic of Beijing people who like to show off is that they like to flatter others. They always say "my elder brother is so-and-so, I know so-and-so, I stand behind him"
If some criminals really get under Shen Juncheng's wing, and get into trouble, they will definitely do this.
"I'll remember what you said. I'll tell Men San'er and the others later."
"Don't just say it simply, but tell them that this is an iron rule, unless you don't want to live and want to be shot."
"I tell you, in half a year at most, the higher-ups will announce reforms, and by then, everything will be different."
Li Changhe emphasized it again to Shen Juncheng.
In fact, those who are in a high enough position now already know the direction of the wind from above, but it has not yet been fully announced to the public. The calls for reform have already arisen.
"Change it again? Okay, I get it!"
"Anyway, you are a student at Peking University now, so I will just listen to you."
"When I get back, I'll think about the method you mentioned. One is the Bronze and Iron Buddha, right? Let them pick up the junk and we'll collect it!"
"Another thing is, if we catch those thieves, we will send them to the Artillery Bureau. Well, we can also send them to our Security Department. We also have the power to enforce the law."
"Also, watch the people below. Those who commit crimes cannot be used. They used to be good at beating up old women, but now they can't be used anymore, right!"
Shen Juncheng's brain was still working well, and he quickly repeated several suggestions given by Li Changhe.
Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, that's it! I'm telling you now, you may not understand, but you will understand next year!"
In fact, if possible, Li Changhe would not recommend Shen Juncheng to go down this path.
But the reality is that this will be the general environment in the next few years. Among the hundreds of millions of educated youth who return to the city and are unemployed, even if most of them are honest, there are always some who are restless.
And these people will soon spread throughout the capital, including the Haidian area.
If you don't occupy this area, someone else will.
In his previous life, Li Changhe saw a very interesting joke.
If you have assets worth hundreds of millions, there will be local industrial thugs keeping an eye on you.
With assets worth billions, the local second generation are envious of you.
Once you have assets worth hundreds of billions, high-end capital giants will be eyeing you covetously.
In short, no matter what size you are, there are always eyes watching you.
Of course, this refers to businessmen who work purely on their own, so since ancient times, few businessmen have worked alone.
What's more, as the future Silicon Valley of China, no one knows better than Li Changhe how great the potential of Haidian Zhongguancun is.
Just like Shen Juncheng said, even if he only managed to keep hold of the present piece of land, it would be in vain if Li Changhe managed to build up assets worth hundreds of billions in the next few decades.
After all, someone who sells CDs in Haidian in the future can become a business giant with a market value of hundreds of billions.
"Oh, one more thing. Remember to find those people who are willing to work hard. I can use them!"
Before leaving, Li Changhe gave Shen Juncheng another serious instruction.
Li Changhe will definitely need to hire people in the future. He has no shortage of high-end talents now, but he still lacks mid- and low-end human resources.
Human resources are scarce in Beijing these days, and most people have jobs in the government, and won't work for you privately. There are quite a few unemployed people, but it's hard to tell who has a proper job and who is just doing odd jobs.
So instead of spending a lot of effort to train him later, it would be better to let Shen Juncheng help him figure it out now.
Anyway, people who can bend down and pick up garbage seriously these days are at least the elites among the unemployed.
"I understand. I'll help you collect old stuff from street to street. I'll remember that!"
Shen Juncheng waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Row!"
Li Changhe did not explain much, and thought that collecting old items could be a way out for these people.
After all, Beijing is so big, Haidian is so big, and it is impossible for Li Changhe to collect junk from door to door by himself.
It's fine for Shen Juncheng to treat this as his business, and it can at least give him some support.
Afterwards, Shen Juncheng left with satisfaction. He felt that he had made the right decision to come to Li Changhe tonight.
This helped him find the direction immediately.
At this time, Li Changhe also slapped to death a mosquito that flew in front of him.
It’s true, the scent beads I asked Zhang Shiqi for before were really effective. I carried one with me and wasn’t bitten by mosquitoes while sitting there just now.
After returning home and taking a cold shower, Li Changhe changed into a clean vest and shorts and went to their own room.
"Changhe, what does Juncheng want you for?"
Seeing Li Changhe coming back, Zhu Lin asked curiously.
"He came to me for advice."
After that, Li Changhe told Zhu Lin the purpose of Shen Juncheng's visit.
"Hey, there are more and more thieves now. A few days ago, a lady from our unit said that she had just bought some vegetables and was on her way home when the remaining money and tickets were stolen. Fortunately, she still had her food credit card."
"Now when they go out, they only take what they need for the day and don't dare to bring extra money or tickets."
As for things like washing and eating the Buddha statue, Zhu Lin didn't think there was anything surprising about it. They were all common operations and nothing big.
"He has just returned and has been assigned to the Security Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is very proud and can make trouble if he wants to. As long as he doesn't resign, everything will be fine in the future."
Li Changhe couldn't talk about the severe crackdown in the past few years at this time. After all, there were still four or five years to go.
The only thing we can do is to get Shen Juncheng promoted sooner. By then, to be honest, we are all brothers in the same organization and everything will be easy to talk about.
As for whether he will go into business in the future or continue to work in the system, it depends on his own wishes.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore!"
It’s almost time to go to bed, why talk about Shen Juncheng? What a waste of time.
At this time, Li Changhe was looking at his charming wife and of course he was doing serious business.
The fan in the room was whirring and creaking, giving a little help to the two shameless people.
In mid-July, Li Changhe returned to school before summer vacation started.
However, because they had one less semester, many students in this grade did not go home and stayed in school even during the summer vacation.
Anyway, most school teachers live in the school, so you can ask them any questions at any time.
In addition to studying, many students also participate in various social practice activities.
For example, Deng Yingtao was selected by the top rural reform research group and was chosen to participate in the country's most cutting-edge rural reform issues.
From this we can also see that the country now values this group of college students. It is only in this era that such high-end policy research allows a college student to participate.
Li Changhe came today just to see his classmates who didn't go home. He planned to take them to the city to eat something good and improve their food.
When I arrived at the dormitory, there were few people there, only He Xiaofeng.
His home is too far away and it's too tiring to take the train back.
People like Yi Gang and Lao Tao are all from the local area and have returned long ago.
Brother Zhang Wenxiang has children at home, so he has to go back to visit them during the summer vacation. Although Brother Kou doesn't have children, he is married.
In his words, seeing Li Changhe showing his love to his wife every day, he also has to go home to see his wife.
In short, those who have lovers have basically gone back home, and those who remain in the dormitory are almost all singles.
"Changhe, why are you here?"
In the dormitory, He Xiaofeng, who was reading a book, saw Li Changhe come in and asked curiously.
The weather was a bit hot, and He Xiaofeng was only wearing shorts in the dormitory with his upper body bare.
"Pack up and I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight."
Li Changhe said to He Xiaofeng with a smile.
"Hmm? Going on the Long March?"
When they talk about improving the food, they usually mean going to the Long March Canteen outside Xiaonanmen.
Now it is no longer just a small canteen for the Department of Political Science and Economics. All the freshmen of the Class of 77 at Peking University know about it. The food there can be improved, and the business is booming.
"We are not going to the Long March today. What Long March are we going to? I will take you to the Jingcheng Hotel."
Li Changhe's work in the Capital Hotel over the past few months was not in vain. Not only did he teach the waiters some basic reception English, but he also made the Capital Hotel gain a good reputation through those simple picture albums.
From the director to the manager, everyone was praised.
If the officials are happy, those who work below will naturally benefit as well.
Li Changhe had no way to give out bonuses or anything, so Qi Danian discussed it with Li Changhe.
The result was that Qi Danian simply waved his hand and reserved a table for Li Changhe inside the Beijing Hotel. After all, it was to host students from Peking University, so Qi Danian easily found the director to approve it.
After all, Li Changhe’s classmates also contributed a lot to the album of Beijing Hotel. For example, many of the paintings in the album were painted by Li Shaomin.
"Hurry up and pack up. I'll go call Shaomin and the others."
Li Changhe then came to Haiwen's dormitory and Li Shaomin's dormitory, and called everyone who was there.
But even so, Li Changhe counted and found that there were not enough people.
This time, Qi Danian prepared a big table for Li Changhe, which could seat 20 people, while there were only about ten people in their Department of Political Science and Economics.
"Haiwen, go to the Department of Political Science and Economics and call Jiang Mingan and the others to see who is there."
"I'm going to the Chinese Department to see if Chen Jiangong and the others are there."
Since there was an empty seat, Li Changhe thought it would be a waste not to eat.
Soon, everyone was gathered together, and then a group of people got on bus No. 332 and headed to the Capital Hotel.
