Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!
Chapter 109 Speechless
He Yuzhu was very familiar with the process. After signing, he did not attend the celebration banquet, but left directly with Han Chunming.
Only after getting in the car did Han Chunming say, "Uncle He, I didn't know you were so rich!"
"Boy, you need to broaden your horizons. Don't just think of you collecting old things on the streets. The world is still very big.
He Yuzhu said, “You will understand later.
By the way... aren't you going to open a restaurant?"
"Yes, I am working on it!" Han Chunming responded, "I plan to open four restaurants, but I will do it step by step.
“Well, it’s good to have a plan.
"He Yuzhu nodded in approval," But I will be busy next, and I hope you can help me then.
"No problem!" Han Chunming had gained a lot today, which was an encouragement rather than a blow to him.
……
Afterwards, He Yuzhu began looking for help.
Over the years, he has made quite a few connections. After all, he runs an antique business, and the volume is considerable.
After the reform and opening up, he and Nan Yi often went to Liulichang. They had to conceal their identities before, but now they don’t need to do so.
What he needs are professionals, including discerning appraisers and professional conservators.
After all, it is easy to keep so many antiques hidden in the space at ordinary times, but now they are to be displayed publicly, so it is particularly important to preserve them properly.
At the same time, his private museum also requires a unique design concept.
Antiques would naturally be classified by dynasty, and the architectural design of the museum would follow the same order.
Imagine how these historical elements can be perfectly integrated into modern architecture?
This is a huge project and he is not in a hurry to start it. Instead, he needs to design it patiently and carefully while taking into account the functionality of modern buildings, such as toilets, lighting, wiring and monitoring, which all need to be carefully considered.
In addition, preservation is also crucial! Although money is not a problem, the effort put in cannot be ignored.
Once a design is finalized, it is very difficult to change it.
After completion, the museum will become a popular location for filming film and television dramas, so closed facilities need to be set up between venues, and precious antiques will be properly collected and rented to the crew.
However, the crew is large and messy, and ensuring the safe closure of each venue is a prerequisite for renting.
He Yuzhu is thoughtful. He is very interested in the film and television industry. Making money is only one aspect of it. He values spreading culture through museums more.
There may be promotional activities such as sponsorship and endorsement in the future.
So He Yuzhu got busy and finally found the right talent. They sat together and discussed the next plan.
"Mr. Zhang, please take over the position of curator temporarily.
"He Yuzhu showed great respect for the 65-year-old retired museum director and offered him a very generous salary of 500,000 yuan a year!
Mr. Zhang smiled happily and said, “Don’t worry, boss. I am happy to continue dealing with antiques and contribute my remaining energy to society.
National funds are limited and it is the first time that a private museum has been established. You have made a good start.
Only in this way can these treasures be properly preserved; state power alone is not enough.
“I believe that more private collectors will emerge in the future, and as long as the cultural relics are in the country, it is a good thing.
He Yuzhu added, “The current problem is how to design the museum.
I plan to divide it by dynasties, but I don't want the connection between the buildings of different periods to appear abrupt.
"We need experts in ancient architecture in this area. You have rich knowledge. Can you recommend a few to me?" He Yuzhu asked.
“Cost is not an issue, but modern elements need to be taken into account, after all, this is a museum.
"Mr. Zhang nodded slightly," The ancient building part is easy to deal with, but the combination with the modern one may need to be coordinated by the National Design Institute.
“I will be responsible for the contact in this regard.
"He Yuzhu continued," You will arrange the others.
I will send some people abroad, targeting Europe, and their main mission is to purchase antiques.
"When this was said, everyone was a little surprised. They were actually going abroad to make acquisitions?
“Many of our treasures are scattered abroad, and foreigners have not yet realized their value.
As the country develops, the value of antiques will surely increase, and now is a good time to buy them.
"He Yuzhu explained.
“The next step is to see your eyesight. There shouldn’t be many fakes out there, but there are more genuine ones.
Especially in Europe and Japan, how much property did the Eight-Power Allied Forces plunder? So we must act quickly.
The design of the museum needs to be meticulous and there is no room for impatience.
“From today, everyone’s salary will start to be calculated, I will cover the expenses of going abroad, and I will send someone to accompany you.
He Yuzhu announced, and everyone expressed their agreement.
Going abroad with a high salary is a good thing! However, He Yuzhu did not completely trust them. He arranged a security team composed of ** to accompany him. These people are worthy of his complete trust.
Soon, he organized these people and applied for visas together, in the name of Baiwei Group, ostensibly to investigate the market.
There were more than fifty people in the group, including more than twenty security personnel, and the reception task was handed over to the European branch of Baiwei Group.
In terms of funds, the branch is responsible for payment, which ensures the safety of funds and antiques.
Such a small group of people spread out across Europe would be like a drop of water in the ocean, and would not attract any attention.
He Yuzhu also didn't want the price of antiques to soar, so he asked everyone to buy some small items as tourists to conceal their purpose.
"Boss He, what do you think of this design?" Since the design institute offered the product, the price was naturally high, but He Yuzhu did not lower the price. Instead, he put forward his specific requirements.
The superiors heard about He Yuzhu's behavior and expressed their support. After all, antiques are related to national culture and history, and such protection work has been ongoing.
Private investment now undoubtedly alleviates the country's financial pressure.
Everyone knows He Yuzhu himself. He is an excellent chef and businessman. He is also willing to help others get rich together. He is a typical role model.
He Yuzhu examined the design drawings and felt somewhat satisfied.
From a historical perspective, the architectural features of each dynasty will more or less inherit the style of the previous dynasty, so that the connection will not be too abrupt, but it is not enough to integrate with modern architecture.
“There is no problem overall, but it needs to be improved to integrate with modern architecture, it is too ancient.
"For example, marble should be used for the floor, and constant temperature equipment should be installed indoors," said He Yuzhu.
“ ” Storage rooms must also have safety facilities.
“For the landscaping, we will use various lighting. For example, if we don’t have fish in the garden, I want an infinity pool that can be used in winter, so it needs to be heated.
" "Steam may be generated at that time. Have you considered this aspect?"
"Hiss~" The person from the design institute took a breath, "Your idea is very creative, an infinity pool..." The project leader touched his chin, this is really novel! However, he imagined it for a while and then said, "Then we need to make a model to test it, and the cost..."
“Add…” He Yuzhu said directly: “Cost is not a problem, we can first build a complete museum model, and then study the details based on this.
" "What I pursue is perfection, and the landscape, meaning, and feng shui must all be taken into consideration.
“Time is not an issue, I can wait for years, but I have to do my best.
"Okay!" Since He Yuzhu is willing to invest, they are not afraid of time delays, so what else is there to worry about? Moreover, He Yuzhu's idea is a rare attempt for them, especially the combination of ancient architecture and modern architecture, which is definitely a brand new topic.
So they began making models and conducting repeated experiments, paying particular attention to construction techniques such as waterproofing, wiring, heating and other issues.
In addition, the museum's most important fire prevention, moisture prevention and drainage systems must also be carefully considered.
He Yuzhu is well aware that future climate problems will be severe, typhoons will be frequent, and Beijing’s drainage system will be unable to cope with the changeable weather.
His improvements here alone are not enough, so the location of the museum should be chosen on higher ground, and storage rooms should be avoided in underground areas.
There is no basement in the entire museum. He Yuzhu cherishes the museum extremely and regards it as the cornerstone of his family. As long as the museum exists, the descendants of the He family will not suffer from poverty.
Even if the Baiwei Group declines or goes bankrupt in the future, the collections in the museum will still be an inestimable treasure.
Therefore, He Yuzhu is not considering the trivial matters at hand. He hopes that the museum can stand for a hundred years. It can be modernized and the security system can be strengthened later, but the main structure will remain the same.
The family was curious about this because He Yuzhu rarely focused on one thing in the past, and business affairs were usually handled by Lou Xiao'e.
That day, He Yuzhu returned from the School of Architecture, and Wen Li asked, "Why are you so concerned about this matter today?"
“This museum is the most valuable legacy I leave to the He family.
"He Yuzhu sat down, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp," Nowadays, the price of antiques is gradually rising.
"Just wait and see, and then you'll understand why I care so much.
“Although the development of the group is beyond my control, it is progressing well and expanding in scale, which will definitely bring benefits in the future.
“As for how the descendants of the He family run the business, I have no idea.
“Even if the family falls into decline in the future, as long as this museum is still there, the descendants of the He family will not fall into poverty.
He Qing was surprised by this. Her father-in-law actually had such a long-term plan? Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable.
However, if it really comes to the point where they have to rely on selling antiques to pay off debts, the descendants of the He family seem to lack ambition.
However, who can predict the future? Wen Li smiled and said, "You are thinking about the next few decades, right?"
“Oh, it’s a bit ahead of its time.
"He Yuzhu also laughed, "But this is the responsibility of being a parent!"
Wen Li also smiled: "Okay, let's go cook!"
"Okay!" He Yuzhu happily got up to prepare the meal.
"Mom, how did you decide to marry Dad?" He Qing asked curiously.
Wen Li was immediately immersed in memories. When she first met He Yuzhu, she felt resistant, but after the conversation, this resistance was much lessened.
Fortunately, she did not miss the opportunity to meet him for the second time, otherwise it is hard to say whether she would have the happiness she has today.
Wen Li suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, Wen Xuan, Wen Cheng, and Wen Jia are all very curious, but I haven't told them yet.
Let’s make an exception today!”
(At this time, He Wenjia was busy with group affairs and often returned home close to dinner time, so she did not hear this conversation.
)
Then, Wenli began to tell the story, and He Qing was surprised to hear it. So that's how it was? Her father-in-law's way of pursuing love was really unique! Not with sweet words, but through challenges and changes.
This method is indeed special. From another perspective, it may be a different kind of romance.
Wen Li heard her daughter-in-law's words and smiled and said, "Romantic? I'm not thinking about romance, but your father-in-law has changed some of my bad habits and concepts in this way, making our relationship more harmonious and we have never had any disputes.
What would have happened if I hadn’t changed?”
“The changes are not huge, except that the impetuousness and fantasy of my youth have been eliminated.
"He Qing thought about it for a moment and agreed with this.
Fortunately, what about her? Because she has devoted herself to the film and television industry, she is no longer so impetuous. After all, this industry is not easy.
In the film and television industry of 443, although it is not too lively, there are many predecessors! Especially when He Qing participated in the filming of the TV series adapted from the four famous classics, there were many crew members, and how many first-class actors were there?
He Qing acts cautiously, so when she was on a blind date, she was able to treat her relationship with He Wencheng with a normal attitude.
He Wencheng was not just a bookworm. He devoted endless energy to academic research and also paid attention to his appearance. Otherwise, he would not have given up applying to the military academy after He Wenxuan got tanned.
After learning about her parents-in-law's love story, He Wenjia returned home in the evening and the two of them exchanged glances while having dinner.
After cleaning up after dinner, the two went to He Wenjia's room.
He Wencheng looked confused, holding his daughter and curiously asked: "Dad, what are they doing?"
"How should I know?" He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, "You have to ask your mother about this!" He Wencheng turned to his mother, and Wenli smiled and said, "Go back and ask your wife.
He Wencheng was speechless!
The headquarters building was built rapidly and the eight-month construction period passed in a flash. Jiang Weimin paid close attention to the entire process and it was finally completed.
In terms of interior decoration, He Yuzhu put forward many modern style requirements, and subsequent allocation work also began.
The top floor of the main building is naturally reserved for the offices of the chairman, general manager, department directors, secretariat, and two large and small conference rooms.
The first floor is set up as a lobby with a reception area and event area, which can be used for press conferences or public events.
The second to twelfth floors are rented out, and the annex building is also rented out.
The thirteenth floor is used as a restaurant, open to internal employees and external companies. The prices are relatively affordable and the food is hygienic.
From the fourteenth floor onwards, it is a subsidiary of the Baiwei Group. Although there is not much demand at present, it will expand in the future, so the space is reserved.
At the same time, an investment department was established to make investments in the name of Baiwei Group. This is a newly established department.
He Yuzhu will no longer invest in his personal name, but will do so in the name of the group, which is actually a company called "Baiwei Investment Co., Ltd."
After entering the headquarters, Baiwei Group officially got on track and became a truly large group.
As chairman, He Yuzhu presided over a general staff meeting, which included representatives from provincial branches and production bases.
The meeting emphasized the importance of quality and safety, especially in raw material procurement and talent training and recruitment, and also adjusted the salary structure.
