Chapter 387 Chong'er was born outside!
At night, the storm has stopped
Zhu Lin leaned happily in Li Changhe's arms and finally started talking about business with Li Changhe.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?"
Li Changhe sighed when he heard this.
"I'm leaving in two days. I'm planning to go to the United States!"
"By the way, do you want to come with me?"
"How about I take you to visit the United States?"
Li Changhe thought that it was Zhu Lin's summer vacation and since he had some time, it would be nice to take her to the United States to have a look.
"Going to the United States?"
After listening to this, Zhu Lin's eyes lit up.
If she could really go abroad, she would really be interested.
But after a moment, Zhu Lin shook her head again.
"Forget it, I won't go!"
"what happened?"
Li Changhe asked with some surprise.
"It's troublesome to go abroad now. You need an overseas invitation. That's not good for you!"
Zhu Lin said in a low voice.
Although society has reformed nowadays, the control over going abroad is still very strict.
The most obvious point is that you must have an overseas invitation to go abroad. This invitation can be from a company or from relatives. In short, you must have an invitation before you can go.
You can't go out without an invitation!
So in the past two years, those who were able to go abroad were basically those who had relatives overseas. They received invitations to appear on TV, and then they could go out after approval.
If Zhu Lin wants to go out with Li Changhe, she needs an invitation to appear on camera.
Of course, this invitation was not difficult and it was easy for Li Changhe.
"I can take you to Hong Kong Island first. There, I will help you get a fake identity. Then you can use the fake identity to join my company delegation and go to the United States with me."
"I will report this matter to the foreign affairs department when the time comes, so it's not as troublesome as you think."
Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.
Since he wanted to take her out to see the world, Li Changhe must have thought about this matter. In fact, he had already helped to arrange Zhu Lin's fake identity.
After all, it’s impossible for my wife to stay in the mainland forever and never go out.
"This"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Lin shook her head.
"Forget it, I won't go. Let's wait for a while!"
"Chang He, I know you have a way to get me out, but we don't have to go to the United States right now. You have a job there, and I don't have anything to do if I go."
"Let's wait another two years. If the country is becoming more and more open as you said, there will be no restrictions on going abroad. It won't be too late to go abroad then."
Although she didn't know what Li Changhe was doing overseas, she knew that Li Changhe was actually helping the country do great things.
In this situation, she knew very well that it would not be good for her man if she went out.
She doesn't understand the international situation, but she has watched a lot of spy movies in the past two years.
Identity leaks due to various accidents due to lack of foresight are very common in spy films.
Zhu Lin knew that Li Changhe's identity overseas was confidential. After all, the confidentiality level of his identity had been raised, and Lao Tian Kaige and the others had received the notice.
In this situation, Zhu Lin felt that she could not go out and create a crisis for Li Changhe just for the sake of her children's personal affairs, even if the risk was only a little bit.
"Okay, then wait for a while, it will be fine then!"
Li Changhe didn't force it. He just wanted to take Zhu Lin out for a look and didn't think much about anything else.
In fact, since taking over the Hong Kong property company, Li Changhe’s fake identity has established a foothold in Hong Kong Island, and he is not afraid of being exposed at all.
What's more, even if he is suspected, it will take the other party's judgment to determine which one is real and which one is fake between Li Changhe and Bao Zeyang.
For someone at the level of "Bao Zeyang", you cannot define his identity as true or false for no reason.
What's more, his subsequent target is the United States. Once there, money is the most important thing. If you can bring wealth to them, you are their real father. No one cares whether you are from Hong Kong Island or mainland China.
However, since Zhu Lin doesn't want to go now, Li Changhe won't force her, and Zhu Lin's concerns are correct.
Going abroad is not a particularly good thing for her nowadays. Everyone who goes abroad and comes back must be examined.
There is no way, this was the national condition in the 1980s, there was no freedom at all.
Freedom has indeed opened a new door for those who are subject to various restrictions in this era in the country.
After going abroad, they found that they didn’t need a permit to go out and could go wherever they wanted.
Eat whatever you like.
You can take any train or plane, and stay in any hotel without any card level or letters of introduction.
Li Changhe could actually understand the condescending attitude of many people who left in the 1980s. They felt that they had escaped from the cage and that the outside world and the domestic world were two different worlds.
So in the following years, people who go abroad will always have a sense of looking down on others from a high position.
Because life outside and life at home are two completely different worlds, completely separated.
Early the next morning, while Zhu Lin was still asleep, Li Changhe sat on the sofa and began reading the newspaper.
Although he is not at home very often, the post office always delivers the subscribed newspapers and magazines on time.
Zhu Lin would help him organize them and put them there.
Every time Li Changhe came back, he would finish reading the newspapers and magazines he hadn't read.
"Alas, the storm is about to come!"
Putting down the magazine in his hand, Li Changhe sighed.
In fact, we can see a lot of political trends through social publications and newspapers.
Just like in later generations, one can see the political trends of many high-level officials through the people appearing in the news broadcast.
Some people have been silent for a long time, and this actually means the end of them.
It is now the end of June and July is coming soon. Counting the time, the time when these college students will be reused will soon come.
Unfortunately, for Li Changhe, he does not want to be involved in the important roles in the next decade or so, which is why he wants to leave.
From the moment he entered the Department of Political Economy at Peking University, his future direction was determined.
If I stay in the country, I will either give up my skills and become a literati or writer. This way I can live a comfortable life, but it is a pity that it is a waste of the knowledge in my head.
Or he would be caught up in a huge storm. After all, as a graduate of the Political Science and Economics Department of Peking University, he had almost no other choice in job assignment. Once assigned, he would be destined to be caught up in it unless he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Difficult!
Therefore, Chong'er was born outside, and Shensheng died inside!
Li Changhe is destined to wander abroad in the next few years.
While Li Changhe was thinking on the sofa, Zhu Lin also got up yawning.
She was exhausted last night.
"Get up, brush your teeth first, I'll go buy breakfast." Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.
Then I went downstairs to the state-owned breakfast shop next door and bought two breakfasts.
"What are you going to do today?"
At the dinner table, Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe curiously.
"I'm going to go to the Ministry of Culture later and talk to them about the film and television city."
"See how their talks with the Magic City go."
Li Changhe said with a smile.
This time I came back, besides seeing my wife, I also came to visit the film and television city.
As for the suitcase and textile industries, Wells is now in charge, so he doesn't need to worry too much about it. He can just let Wells talk to the Ministry of Industry.
After all, Weiersi understood Li Changhe's thoughts very well, and he would naturally make concessions where necessary.
What Li Changhe is focusing on now is the film and television city. It would be best if it can be pushed forward and some of the foreign exchange can be secured.
"Are you really going to build a film and television city? Make it that big?"
Zhu Lin asked in surprise at this time.
Li Changhe nodded: "Otherwise, we'll have nowhere to spend the money."
In the 80s, especially in the s, it was difficult to spend large sums of money.
The state does not allow you to enter into major industries, such as highways, factory operations, real estate and other large capital industries. The state will not allow individuals to participate in these industries.
This does not mean that if you have the initiative, the government will let you do it. Reform and opening up is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather a process of trial and error and exploration step by step. Especially before 84, internal reforms were all very cautious, and were basically focused on correcting wrongs.
"That's right. If I keep this in my hands, I won't be able to spend it all. You still have a lot of foreign exchange certificates you brought back last time."
Zhu Lin followed with an exclamation.
"By the way, in the evening, you can call Lao Tian and the others, and we can have a meal together. It can be regarded as a celebration party for The Wrangler. They have been busy for so long, so let's treat them to a good meal."
Li Changhe spoke to Zhu Lin again at this time.
Zhu Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the Beijing Film Studio and tell them. They've been gathering at the Beijing Film Studio lately."
It was summer vacation and we had nothing to do, so we took advantage of the opportunity of The Horse Herder to gather at the Beijing Film Studio, where we studied and wandered around, helping this director and that director. In short, we treated the Beijing Film Studio as our base.”
"Ok!"
After dinner, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin went to the Beijing Film Studio first. Zhu Lin naturally went to find Gong Xue, while Li Changhe came to Wang Yang's office. He had to borrow the phone in Wang Yang's office to call Yu Min from the Film Association or Chen Huangmei from the Ministry of Culture.
Otherwise, if you go directly to the store, you will most likely not be able to find it.
Wang Yang happened to be in the office. When he saw Li Changhe coming, he immediately grabbed him.
"Just right, you're here at last. I have something else to talk to you about!"
Before Li Changhe opened his mouth, Wang Yang spoke first.
"What's wrong, Director Wang?"
Li Changhe asked with some curiosity.
"It's all because of your two cars."
"Every unit in your company wants to borrow those two minibuses. I can't agree or not. It's really annoying!"
"What do you think the arrangement is?"
Wang Yang said helplessly.
In this era, whether it is a sedan, a minibus, or any other car, they are all allocated by the state to various units for use.
Many units were allocated old cars, which were not only decades old but also insufficient.
There are two of them parked at the Beijing Film Studio now. Not only are they new cars, but the seats are also comfortable, which is completely different from Su Lian’s old minibuses.
Naturally, many units related to the Beijing Film Studio took notice.
I'm not going to borrow it completely, but it's always okay to borrow it when something happens, right?
At the beginning, Wang Yang even took the Wrangler to make a video and talked about the matter. After all, strictly speaking, it belonged to the Hong Kong Island company.
But now that the Wrangler has been filmed and released, there have been more calls for borrowing the car.
Now Wang Yang is in a dilemma as to whether to lend the money or not, and he is very upset.
"We'll keep the van for ourselves, and anyone who needs to borrow the remaining two buses can borrow them. They won't be of much use anyway."
Li Changhe said nonchalantly.
These cars were originally intended for the convenience of his wife's filming. Now that the filming is completed, these cars have completed their mission.
If there is a unit that needs to borrow it later, just lend it out.
Anyway, it’s not worth much to Li Changhe.
"Really lend it to them? Let me tell you, Changhe, if we start this, this car will be able to travel everywhere in the future."
Wang Yang said hesitantly after hearing what Li Changhe said.
"It's okay. The car is not in use. It will just stay there wherever it is parked. Don't treat it like a rarity."
"In the future, when we're filming, or other units borrow them, we'll give them the cars if they need them. If they're not enough, I can add two more later."
"Director, don't take this little thing to heart. Just ask them to remember the favor we did for the Beijing Film Studio."
"I'd like to borrow your office to make a phone call."
Li Changhe then used Wang Yang's office phone to ask, and only Chen Huangmei answered the phone. Then the two of them agreed on a meeting place.
The main reason is that Li Changhe's current identity is kept secret and a few people are aware of it, so they will not meet him in a high-profile manner.
At noon, Chen Huangmei rode his bicycle to an inconspicuous state-owned restaurant in the city.
Of course, someone of his level is equipped with a car, but for them, it is not important whether they have a car or not. They take the car in formal occasions, and it is common for them to ride a bicycle in normal times.
"Oh, the dishes have been ordered. It's quite a feast."
When Chen Huangmei arrived, Li Changhe had already ordered the dishes. There weren't many dishes for two people, so Li Changhe just ordered two dishes but no staple food. After all, he didn't know what the other person mainly ate.
In this day and age, two dishes for two people is considered a rich meal, and extravagance and waste are not advisable.
"Changhe, I'll just tell you directly."
"We have already contacted the Magic City. They approve of this film and television city plan and can also allocate a broadcasting area for you. In this regard, they are indeed more open and bolder than the Capital City."
“The question now is where to demarcate the land, how big it should be, and how to value it?”
"Also, how are you going to build this film and television city? How are you going to arrange the drawings and designs?"
"I consulted with the comrades from the Academy of Social Sciences. To be honest, they are a little vague about your concept of a film and television city."
When it comes to earning foreign exchange, Shanghai is much more positive. After all, if so much foreign exchange really comes in, their government can keep a portion of it.
So things went more smoothly than Li Changhe had imagined.
"Well, let's talk to the comrades from the Academy of Social Sciences tomorrow. My idea is actually very simple, which is to imitate the ancients. We have so many ancient buildings, and we can just imitate them. For example, the three main halls of the Forbidden City and the towers outside, these are easy to do."
"It's the architecture of the pre-Qin period and the Tang and Song dynasties. We need to study it based on history."
"Regarding the land assessment, the company in Hong Kong will hire a team to come over and negotiate with us. Please give me your contact information and I will ask them to contact the department."
Li Changhe has already made up his mind that he can let Shao Weiming take charge of the film and television city. The Shao family has experience with the Qingshui Bay Film and Television City, and Shao Weiming must be familiar with it, so it would be just right to let Shao Weiming do it.
