The piece of paper in Xiao Deng's hand represents a huge sum of money.
Two million yuan, calculated according to the grain price, is equivalent to 10 or 20 million yuan. Even in the most expensive areas of Beijing and Taicang, she can buy two or three high-rise properties. For an ordinary person, it is exaggerated to say that this amount of money has the power to change the trajectory of life.
"This is the compensation you deserve. It's already your personal funds." Gao Xu said calmly, "You should accept it first. We have no right to ask how you deal with it."
Gao Xu suddenly wanted to know how Xiao Deng would eventually deal with her family disputes and what would happen next.
He also felt that his thoughts seemed a little lacking in sympathy, but he was indeed very curious. The industrialized Ming Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty and any other era; but Gao Xu vaguely realized that some of the traditional intrinsic things did not seem to ha
Going there in the summer didn't seem like a good choice. Gao Xu and Miao Jin had just gotten off the plane and were waiting for a car outside Cairo Airport. He immediately felt like he was in a big steamer and sweat broke out all over his body.The person he admired most at this time was Miao Jin, who was beside him. She was dressed very tightly, wearing lace-up leather shoes, canvas trousers, a loose cotton long-sleeved shirt, a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, with almost no skin exposed except for her hands."Are you okay?" Gao Xu asked kindly.Miao Jin glanced sideways, facing him with sunglasses, and said weakly, "If you calm down, you will feel cooler."Gao Xu seemed to have said this many times.Finally, a Ming-made "Mountain Tiger" off-road vehicle arrived. When we contacted the hotel by phone, they said that the person picking us up at the airport was driving a Mountain Tiger off-road vehicle. Sure enough, a sign was extended from the w
There was an air-conditioned tea room next to the restaurant downstairs. Miao Jin, who was wearing long-sleeved clothes, suggested drinking some tea until dusk. Gao Xu naturally followed her wishes.They both ordered a kind of black tea that the locals loved to drink. After a while, a black girl came over with a few ceramic containers. She should be Nubian. Gao Xu was not sure, but those with darker skin were most likely Nubians.She first put a dish of white sugar on the table, and the sugar in it stood out. Gao Xu then said to Miao Jin, "It seems that people like to eat sweets.""Dang!" Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Gao Xu turned around, only to see a teacup falling to the ground, causing pieces to scatter and tea to spill all over the floor. The black girl immediately froze on the spot, then she put the other tea cup on the table, trembling all over and knelt on the ground to pick up the pieces. Come to tears.After a while, a tall white man
The next day, Gao Xu finally realized why the tour guide named Mona spoke tentatively about the daily wage. It turned out that the daily wage of ordinary people in the area was between three and four yuan, and this was the income of people with jobs.When Gao Xu was a clerk in the company, his daily salary was about 170 yuan. He neglected the exchange rate of Ming yuan and did not realize that the Ming people could easily earn more than 40 times that. No wonder Mona said that she only served Ming people, and it was hard to determine whether the reason was because "Ming people are polite."The local prices were not necessarily low. For example, the price of the Shanhu brand off-road vehicle driven by Yang Kui was more than double that of the Ming Dynasty. The only low-priced item was food, which was said to be heavily subsidized by the government every year.Yesterday, the French couple complained that the locals were unpunctual and lazy, and they probably th
After leaving the pyramids, most tourists from various countries will continue to go south along the Nile River, where there are several famous temples, or go north to Alexandria, where there are Greek cultural relics.However, Gao Xu and his group of four gave up the ancient attractions and headed east to the Suez Canal, preparing to go south along the canal to the ruins of the "East Port Fortress". This is a very unpopular route because there is really not much mystery.Along the way, Miao Jin began to tell the history before and after World War I, as well as the story of the canal. Gao Xu combined the information he read from books and gradually understood all of this in a systematic way.In the early days of steam engine application, that is, in the late Wude period, Gao Xu was still alive (the second half of the 15th century AD). During his half-century-long rule, he invested many years of financial funds in the development of industrial technology and
The border generals who rebelled under the banner of "clearing the emperor's side" were eventually wiped out by the imperial army composed of the Beijing camp and local troops. However, the problems of the Ming Dynasty were far from being solved, and they had just begun.The rebel is dead, but the manifesto he left behind is still there and has a huge impact.Just like all the wars in the Ming Dynasty, those who started the war had to find "righteousness" first and have a legitimate reason. The general and his entourage, of course, understood these things, so they launched the campaign to clear the emperor's court, pointing out that the emperor was surrounded by treacherous officials. The direct evidence was the emperor's curse that "the whole court is full of treacherous officials." They also listed the crimes of those "treacherous officials" in detail.The gist of the manifesto is that the treacherous and corrupt officials relied on their power to deceive
Today, the Donggang Fortress has long been abandoned, and the modern garrison no longer needs such fortifications. After going through vicissitudes of time, it has been preserved and has become a relatively unpopular tourist attraction.The bunker was mottled with bullet holes from the past, and even the world's largest fortress cannon at the time became a must-see exhibit here. Gao Xu touched the pits and dents on the wall, and, under the guidance of the tour guide, climbed up the fortress along a narrow stone staircase.There were indeed few tourists, and there were only a few other white people who came up to visit.Finally, I saw the fortress cannon. The tail parts had long been rusted, and the cannon body had turned brown, without any metallic luster. But its posture remained the same. The huge cannon barrel tilted towards the sky, as if telling of its former majesty.Gao Xu seemed to see thick smoke rising and the earth shaking, and seemed to hea
I remember that more than 400 years ago, Gao Xu and his civil and military officials sat in a tent, eating dry steamed buns and drinking wild vegetable and meat soup with only salt. Gao Xu said: The key is not what to eat or where to eat, but who to eat with. There was no lack of laughter and wonderful and sharp conversations during the camping.Although the food we had this evening was sumptuous, the experience was quite poor.Gao Xu disliked Amen more and more.When we first met, this guy was okay. Although he was wearing a lot of gold and silver, it was not a problem. Some people are just sanguine and extroverted and like to show off, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are difficult to get along with. It doesn't affect anything. Amen was still very warm and friendly at first.However, gradually Gao Xu began to feel unhappy in various ways.Through the translator, Amen boasted about the fact that he had slept with female tourists from various
Yang Kui said on the phone, "I learned about this after receiving a call from the local department. They should have obtained Mona's cell phone and notified the nearest contact. Mona is now seriously injured and is receiving treatment in the hospital. Mr. Liu didn't receive the call?"Gao Xu glanced at Miao Jin and turned on the speakerphone, "No. Didn't you send her back to her residence last night?"The voice on the phone said, "Of course it was delivered. Something happened to Mona at her residence. The perpetrator might be her classmate. The suspect probably knows where she lives.""Amen?" Gao Xu asked."It should be." Yang Kui said. He paused and then said, "The police are investigating the case, just leave it to them. I think I should inform Mr. Liu about this, so I called to tell him. The money you gave her last night was also stolen."Gao Xu asked what hospital Mona was in. Yang Kui then offered to pick up Gao Xu and the others, and the d
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
