Chapter 173 The scenery of Yanjing is not as good as the city, and it has been rising every year since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
It was approaching noon, and a heavy rain was coming.
The sky above Pujiang City began to darken immediately.
At this moment, the hearts of those who were still in the conference room were as bright as a bright mirror.
"Zhang Chu, you must consider this matter carefully," Lao Li from the People's Bank of China said with concern:
"This comrade from Oriental Metropolis Daily has given us extraordinary help."
"Oriental... Metropolis Newspaper?" Section Chief Wu on the side murmured to himself: "I remembered, is it the one with the cartoons painted on the outer wall of the newspaper office?"
"Yes," Director Zhang nodded: "They are the ones. "Oriental Metropolis Daily" is a new newspaper launched by our city this year."
"I know," Lao Li nodded: "The recent serial novel "Latent" and the recent "Before Dawn" are all from it, right?"
"Oh," the chief of the Wu Department nodded: "When you mention it like that, I'm really impressed."
"Hey, hey," Director Zhang knocked on the poster on the table: "I'm going too far. I want you to help me think about what reward I should give to Comrade Jiangshan."
"Jiang Shan? Is he the designer of this advertising painting?"
"Well, it's him."
"What can your Propaganda Department award to people?" Section Chief Wu asked directly: "A medal or a trophy?"
Director Zhang glared: "That's all I need to ask you?"
After a brief silence,
Section Chief Wu, who was still looking at the painting, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you don't mention it, we at the People's Bank of China will not let the designer's work go in vain."
"Actually," Zhang Chu's eyes also fell on the poster: "Comrade Xiao Jiang never made any request before taking on this task or after handing the work to me."
"Well," Lao Li said with emotion, "What a good comrade who can do practical things!"
"That's right," Director Zhang continued: "The more comrades like this have no demands, we as leaders cannot let them feel cold."
"That's right," Section Chief Wu, who had been deep in thought just now, said, "Don't worry, Zhang Chu, don't worry about this matter. It was originally a cooperation between our two units."
"Lao Wu, what do you mean?"
"To tell you the truth, I have thought of a very suitable reward!"
"It's not a certificate or anything like that," Director Zhang quickly explained: "I'm not saying that the certificate is meaningless, it's just..."
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang." Section Chief Wu and Comrade Lao Li looked at each other and said, "We in the People's Bank of China never waste our rewards. Have you forgotten the cloisonné tea cup from before?"
"Why, is it cloisonné again this time?"
"How is that possible? This is not the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."
Chief Wu's voice became softer and softer as he spoke.
In the end, Zhang Chu had to lean closer to him again and again.
The efficiency of Pujiang Pedestrian Bank is indeed extraordinary.
In less than a week, people in the city and surrounding cities were walking.
Two newly launched advertising posters were posted inside and outside the door.
At the same time, a large outdoor billboard on Nanjing Road was replaced with a propaganda poster about "feeding chickens to lay eggs".
At this time, Jiang He was riding his bicycle with his third son, and when they passed under the billboard, they stopped to watch it for a while.
"Second brother," Jiang Shan, who was sitting in the back seat, patted the second brother on the shoulder: "You will also take action tomorrow."
"Don't worry," Jiang He knew that the third child was talking about the bank's advertising wall: "My painting is no worse than this."
"That is."
"Don't worry about this, keep an eye on the sauce duck, and don't fly again!"
"Don't worry, there's so much I can't finish even if I want to."
Today is the day when the Jiang family moves back to their new house.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang have been preparing for this day since the first two days.
According to Jiang Shan's previous intention, he might as well have a meal at a state-owned restaurant.
However, Jiang Ma firmly disagreed.
If you are moving, you must make your home prosperous and lively!
So, I picked up the mountains and rivers early this morning.
At this moment, the two brothers, carrying two large bags full of sauce duck and three-yellow chicken, hurriedly ran back to the small courtyard.
At this time, the small courtyard No. 51 was already filled with friends from all walks of life.
There are Jiang’s father, Jiang’s mother’s colleagues and friends, as well as the surrounding neighbors...
"Director Jiang, congratulations, your new home is well decorated."
"Come on, let's have a cigarette first."
"Sister-in-law Jiang, let me help you for a while."
"No, no, no, it's all ready-made. Don't get your new clothes dirty."
"What's there? It's worthless."
"Lao Jiang, am I not late?"
"Why are you the only one? Didn't I ask you to bring your lover?"
"..."
One after another, the flow is endless.
Not to mention how lively it is.
Everyone came empty-handed.
According to today's custom, each person comes carrying either a pair of hot water bottles or a bed sheet.
There were piles of towels, hanging plaques, embroidered pillowcases... all piled high.
Jiang Hai and Jiang Chuan were busy serving tea and water to the guests.
A freshly painted dining table in the main room was filled with peanuts, melon seeds, fruits... toffees.
The guests, each holding a handful in their hands, were taking turns visiting the house.
Jiangshan, which had been busy dispersing smoke, took a slight turn.
I found that the room belonging to Jianghe was the busiest.
The compliments and compliments are endless.
Facing the trendy furniture in Yishui, several young people were asking questions about this and that.
At this moment, Jiang He, who had always been unable to bear the tossing, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was about to lose his ability to resist.
"Second brother," Jiang Shan came over in time: "There is someone outside looking for you."
"Oh?" Jiang He really believed it. After saying oh, he rushed out without looking back.
"What do you think everyone knows?" Jiang Shan said to several guests with a smile, "It's the same thing if you ask me."
So, a new round of questions began.
"You are the third child, right?"
"I heard that you are also a newspaper editor now."
"Do you have a partner? If not, I will introduce you to one."
"By the way, has your unit allocated rooms?"
Jiang Shan always had a smile on his face, and you asked me if I would cooperate.
More than ten minutes later, I was already arguing with the guests about where the child should go to daycare in the future.
"Third brother," Jiang He suddenly appeared outside the window: "There is someone looking for you at the door."
As soon as the second child said these words, Jiang Shan immediately laughed.
Unexpectedly, the second brother also has the ability to learn and sell immediately.
Just as he was grinning happily, another figure appeared outside the window: "Hello, Comrade Xiao Jiang."
"Director Zhang,"
Facing the sudden appearance of the guest, Jiang Shan's eyes widened in shock: "Why are you here?"
"Haha, why can't I come here?" Director Zhang said with a smile: "It seems that I really came at the right time today."
"Second brother, hurry up," Jiang Shan quickly glanced at the second brother: "Let Zhang Chu enter my room first, and I'll go see where the eldest brother is."
After a while, Jiang Shan led Jiang Hai into the room in a hurry.
"Zhang Chu, you are such a rare guest," Jiang Hai walked over to shake hands one step ahead: "My family is too busy today, so I didn't entertain you well."
Jiang Shan behind him was holding three teacups: "Come Zhang Chu, let's have a sip of herbal tea to cool down first."
"Oh, your house looks very nice,"
The smiling Zhang Chu took the teacup, which he had been sizing just now.
I found that the walls around Jiangshan's house were covered with various paintings.
Two of them are advertising paintings designed for the Bank of China not long ago.
"After all, they are engaged in art," Zhang Chu couldn't get enough of it: "It's just different."
"Ha," Jiang Shan smiled: "I don't have any other hobbies at ordinary times. I just like to write and draw."
"This is a good hobby," Zhang Chu nodded: "You have to keep it up."
"Sure! I'll remember it."
"Editor-in-Chief Jiang," Zhang Chu continued, "I came here today actually for a business matter."
"Oh?" Jiang Hai's smile immediately faded: "You tell me first, and I'll see how to solve it."
"Look," Director Zhang said with a pleased smile: "Every time I ask any question, your "Oriental Metropolis Daily" answers the question most straightforwardly."
"Hey, isn't this what it should be?"
"Don't ever say that,"
While talking, Zhang Chu took out a document bag from the briefcase he carried with him.
Then, he said formally: "Our Municipal Propaganda Office and the Municipal People's Bank of China, in order to thank Comrade Jiangshan for his outstanding contribution, specially award a souvenir."
"Thank you for your trust, leader..." Jiang Shan never expected that Director Zhang would come here today to give him a prize.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang," Director Zhang did not forget the repeated instructions from the Chief of Military Affairs: "Please don't tell anyone about this souvenir yet."
"Um?"
"remember?"
"Hey, I'll keep it in mind."
After a conversation of thanks and determination, Jiang Shan and the boss finally saw off the unexpected guest.
"Lao San, what do you think it is?"
On the way back to the small courtyard, Jiang Hai couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"I just pinched it...I can't tell clearly."
He took three steps and then two steps to get back to the hut.
One of the brothers quickly closed the door, and the other closed the curtain with both hands.
Soon, the document bag was opened by Jiang Shan.
"This is……?"
Looking at the thing in Lao San's hand, Jiang Hai couldn't help but blinked: "Could this be...?"
Although he had already guessed it, Jiang Hai still did not dare to draw random conclusions.
"Gold," Jiang Shan's eyes were burned by the thing in front of him: "Boss, it's gold."
"My God, I've never touched gold."
"Now you can touch it enough," Jiang Shan touched it himself first: "After all, it is our people's bank, so it's different when we take action!"
"Touch me,"
"Comfortable?"
"It's so comfortable, oh my third brother, to say that I can touch this thing is really thanks to you."
"If a family doesn't speak two languages, there are exactly four here..."
"Okay, stop talking, we won't accept such expensive things." Jiang Hai just said curiously:
"What do you mean by the four hundred on it? Can it be used as four hundred yuan?"
"But please don't, this thing definitely costs only 400 yuan."
Jiangshan, who has been staring at gold, is now carefully looking at the text in the small box: "The 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China... Commemorative gold coins? Hiss?"
"Why, what did you see?"
"Oh, what a pity."
"You even got gold, why are you still sighing?"
Jiang Shan shook his head, slightly disappointed: "It would be so beautiful if it were the same as in the new year!"
At this moment, Jiang Shan could almost conclude that the set of gold coins he held in his hand should be the second set of commemorative gold coins issued by the People's Bank of China.
Although the collection value of this set is already very impressive, it is still inferior to the first set.
In 1978, in order to achieve the purpose of revitalizing domestic gold in exchange for foreign exchange.
The Printing Bureau of the People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Baosheng Bank were in Yanjing and Hong Kong respectively to discuss cooperation matters for the People's Bank of China to issue the "Yanjing Scenic Spots Commemorative Gold Medal", "The 30th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China Commemorative Gold Coin" and "Panda Commemorative Coin" in Hong Kong.
Baosheng Bank in Xiangjiang has always been known as a gold bank.
It is quite famous both in Hong Kong and internationally.
After the efforts of both parties, a set of four "Yanjing Scenic Spots Commemorative Gold Medals" was first issued and listed in Xiangjiang in January 1979.
The front is unified as a Huabiao, and the back shows the designs of the Summer Palace, Beihai, Badaling, and Temple of Heaven, which are gorgeous and eye-catching with exquisite craftsmanship.
However, after such a huge amount of consultation and design, only 2,000 sets were issued.
Therefore, on the morning of the sale, before Po Sang Bank opened for business, a large number of people lined up outside the door waiting to buy commemorative gold medals.
Many of them even came and waited in line at two o'clock in the morning.
At nine o'clock in the morning, as soon as the door opened, customers poured in, and the business lobby was packed to the brim in an instant.
As a result, only 2,000 sets of commemorative gold medals were sold out in the blink of an eye.
Because the quantity was too small, there was still an endless stream of customers coming to Po Sang Bank for inquiries long after the sale ended.
In just a few weeks, the price of the "Yanjing Scenic Spots Commemorative Gold Medal" has tripled or quadrupled.
The key is that there are only bidders, not shippers.
Therefore, after discussions between the People's Bank of China and Baosheng Bank, the issuance quantity of the "30th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China Gold Coins" scheduled to be launched on the National Day of 1979 was increased to 70,000 sets.
The design pattern of the gold coin is unified as the national emblem on the front, and Tiananmen, Monument, General Assembly Hall and Memorial Hall on the back.
Ordinarily, if the number of the second issuance is much larger than that of the first, the room for appreciation will be greatly reduced.
But I never thought that its influence would far exceed that of the first time.
Maybe it’s because of the big name, or maybe it’s because the third “Panda Gold Coin” issued later was issued in unlimited quantities.
As a result, there was a saying that was widely circulated in the collecting community at that time:
The scenery of Yanjing is not as beautiful as the city.
It has been rising every year since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Panda Gold Coin 999 is available everywhere in Hong Kong and Aomen.
At this moment, Jiang Shan looked over and over at the patterns of the gold coins in his hands.
The national emblem on the front and the Great Hall on the back...are exactly as described in my memory.
"It's only August now," he couldn't help but secretly said: "The People's Bank of China is already..."
For a moment, Jiang Shan didn't dare to think deeply: "Brother, remember what Zhang Chu said just now, never tell anyone about this matter."
Jiang Hai took a deep look at Jiang Shan and said after a while: "Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know!"
"Haha," Jiang Shan laughed for a moment: "That's it."
The fact that he obtained commemorative gold coins in advance actually happened to him, which reminded Jiang Shan of another interesting thing...
