Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

Since Li Zihang said those words to his family, the old man and his uncle would go into the study whenever they had time to discuss and improve his suggestions and make a plan.

It took a week to complete the plan. The old man showed the plan to some professionals and then discussed it. They calculated the funds needed, how many managers to recruit, where to build the factory, and how to manage the factory after it was built.

Only after it was confirmed did the old man take the detailed plan to a senior leader and hand it over to him.

When the senior leader saw the old man's plan, he attached great importance to it and immediately held a meeting to study it.

The old man had a highlight moment in his life some time later. He was received by various big leaders and asked about his ideas.

After a while, he returned to his normal life without any relationship with Li Zihang. But his phone kept ringing. Sometimes it was busy, so the government installed two high-standard phones for his family.

In the following six months, the Li family had many contacts. Various leaders sent drivers to pick up the old man when he went out.

The old man also became a guest of honor for all the leaders. His name reached the heavens and was often mentioned in the palace.

Li Zihang's most intuitive feeling is that he feels like someone is secretly monitoring him recently.

So once again when the old man was at home, he told him about being secretly monitored. The old man told him not to worry, that it was the government who sent people to secretly protect him. He told him to do what he was supposed to do and pretend that they didn't exist.

At first, Li Zihang was not used to it, but he got used to it after a while. He did what he was supposed to do every day.

Since Li Zihang's family had been visited by various high-ranking officials and vehicles, the people in the yard next door were more cautious when talking to Li Zihang's family. Even Xiao Yushui and Shazhu were flattered by all kinds of people, hoping to get in touch with Li Zihang's family through them.

But that was just their own thinking. The old man and his family didn't take those people seriously at all. They didn't have time to deal with them.

Half a year passed quickly, and summer vacation arrived. That day, Li Zihang finally couldn't help asking the old man about the construction status of those factories.

In the north room, in the study, the old man was looking at another piece of data. After Li Zihang knocked on the door and came in, he poured the old man a cup of hot tea.

Li Zihang asked as he poured tea: "Grandpa, how are the factories going? Have they developed to a certain scale? Have the personnel been arranged?"

The old man put down the report and drank some hot tea before saying, "Grandson, can you please ask these questions one by one? Don't just push them all at once."

Li Zihang: "Grandpa, please tell me, I really want to know."

Old man: "Okay! Let me tell you. After those suggestions were reported, the leaders made comprehensive and large-scale improvements. Our plan is still too petty."

"Did you know? The state directly supports cigarette factories in large-scale tobacco planting and builds factories in every province. They develop into local cigarette brands. Some big cities also have branches. There are also printing factories, which are built in various places. Bookstores have been opened in every city. Primary and secondary schools, and even universities, have begun to use books and test papers from printing factories."

"Those candle factories, stationery factories, and match factories have also blossomed all over the country. They have been growing wildly in the past six months.

More than 100,000 retired soldiers and martyrs' families have been resettled. Hundreds of thousands of families have received welfare benefits. It has also helped some families in need and helped them escape poverty."

Li Zihang: "Does our family still have shares?"

Old man: "Grandson, how much do you think our family owns?"

Li Zihang thought for a moment and said, "I estimate that at most they own a small portion of shares in some regions and some small factories."

The old man said, "You are still young. If I really want to invest, it will be the way to our family's death. Don't you think that so many people in the country are affected by these industries? Can the country trust me to control the shares and manage them?"

"So I didn't participate in any of it. I just gave the government advice and suggestions. To appease me, the leaders asked me to invest and take up some dry shares. I agreed. But I donated the proceeds from those dry shares directly as scholarships for poor students."

Li Zihang thought for a while and understood the reason: "Grandpa, you are right. Donating this money will only benefit our family. If we really get shares, maybe one day in the future, those shares will destroy our family. This money is worth donating. Using some money to exchange for a golden body. There is no harm, it's a profit."

The old man was pleased to see that his grandson could think so far ahead, and said: "Grandson, you are the son of our family. By the way, I have another piece of news for you. In a while, I, your grandfather, will most likely be received by the two elders."

Li Zihang asked tentatively with some disbelief: "Are they those two grandfathers?"

The old man smiled and nodded.

Li Zihang watched the old man nod, and instantly became very excited. He said directly to his grandfather: "Can you take me with you when the time comes? I, I, I..."

Li Zihang was so excited that his tongue became tied when he spoke.

Seeing his grandson so excited, the old man laughed and scolded, "Look at you, you're so silly. Got it, I'll make arrangements. I'll call you when the time comes. But don't talk nonsense. Got it?"

Li Zihang nodded vigorously to indicate that he understood.

These past two days, Li Zihang has been worrying about what gift to give when the old man meets him. Something too expensive won't do. Something ordinary won't do. Something meaningless won't do either.

Later, I saw the Hetian jade seed material in my own underground palace, and I suddenly got inspiration. So I took two pieces of high-quality Hetian jade seed material back to the study.

As soon as the old man came back at noon that day, he was pulled into the study. Pointing at the Hetian jade on the table, he said, "Grandpa, I plan to give those two a gift. I have thought it through."

The old man was confused by his grandson.

Old man: "What gift?"

Li Zihang pointed to two pieces of Hetian jade on the table, one large and one small, and said, "I'll have someone carve the egg-sized piece into a portrait of Grandpa Zhou. I'm going to have someone carve the watermelon-sized piece into a decorative piece, with a scene of an old man standing on the Great Wall and gazing into the distance."

The old man laughed and said, "Boy, you are a flatterer. If you have made up your mind, why are you looking for me?"

Li Zihang said embarrassedly: "I don't know any carving masters. I'm asking you to introduce me to some masters!"

Old man: "I see. I'll find it for you right away."

Li Zihang said worriedly, "Grandpa, hurry up and don't fall behind. Carving takes time. Also, I need to find the master and tell him my ideas one by one. Don't miss anything."

In the following days, Li Zihang followed the seven carving masters every day, watching them draft and draw the pictures, and then started to cut according to the actual situation of the original stone.

The master who carves figures specializes in carving figures, the master who carves landscapes specializes in carving landscapes, and the master who carves flowers and birds specializes in carving flowers and birds. Several people work together to complete a work.

The figurine of an old man looking at the Great Wall took five people 5 days to carve.

Until the moment of completion, Li Zihang was truly amazed by the two works in front of him.

The portrait of the old man really brings his expression, eyes, and temperament to life. The work is lifelike, a typical realistic style. Even the eyebrows are clearly visible.

As for the old man gazing at the Great Wall of China, it can only be described as miraculous.

In the close-up, the old man stands sideways on the Great Wall with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. The dark brown stone skin is preserved and carved into the great man's Zhongshan suit. The hair is also preserved in the original black stone skin and carved into the back of black hair. The side face is also the slightly pale milky yellow of mutton-fat white jade. The outer walls of the Great Wall are all preserved in the dark yellow of the original stone skin. From near to far, it is winding and tortuous. The magnificence of the Great Wall is vividly expressed. The side face and back are also carved with great charm. At a glance, people can tell that it is the back of a great man.

In the middle ground, a red flag stands on the beacon tower. The red color of the flag is also the original color of the jade skin. The five red stars are also the yellow dots in the red on the original stone shell. They are cleverly carved into the five stars on the red flag.

In the distance, the peaks next to the Great Wall are embossed in the dark brown areas of the original stone skin. As for the white areas next to it, they are all peaks and trees covered with snow in winter.

The whole piece of Hetian jade seed material the size of a watermelon has been sublimated after the completion of this work. Whether it is the characters, the Great Wall, the mountains, the trees, the snow, or the red flag, they are all perfectly combined. From the perspective of near to far, the figures' shapes, thoughts and ideas are fully expressed. The majesty of the Great Wall, the steepness of the mountains, the artistic conception of snow-covered mountains, and the five-star red flag fluttering in the cold wind. The whole work has reached the realm of unity between man and nature, and can be called a contemporary soul treasure...

On the back of the ornament, there is a carving of the flag-raising ceremony. Next to it are two rows of carvings in regular script. The Great Wall will never fall, and the Chinese nation will be immortal. There are 2 large characters...
