Chapter 59 Heard
Spring should be very good, if you are still there
The spring breeze is like love is in the middle of
You in early spring stir my fantasy
Just like tender green grass makes spring rain fragrant
While Leslie Cheung was singing softly, a box of tape was put out. After a few seconds of irrigation, the Walkman made a slight sound and the play button automatically popped up.
Zhang Aijia sighed silently, took off her headphones, stuffed them into her portable women's bag, and then turned her head to admire the white clouds outside the cabin.
Chen Chong's album "tailored" for Leslie Cheung, has excellent lyrics and music, and the artistic conception and arrangement are all very different in the popular music styles in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It has a delicate and fashionable urban style, and it has avant-garde and pioneering flavor. It is refreshing and full of imagination. Zhang Aijia loves it very much. I have listened to it many times these days, and my favorite is the last song "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter".
The spring breeze is like love in the inclination. You in early spring stir my fantasy, just like the tender green grass that makes the spring rain smell...
Last spring, in the gentle and gentle evening breeze, Shen Chong poked out of the taxi, kissed her forehead, and said she liked her...
At that time, he was like spring rain, fresh and immature, with a little arrogance and wantonness. In the blink of an eye, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the seasons change. Now he is like the summer sun, hot and brilliant, shining with light, unable to look directly...
If only he wasn't that good, at least I still have the chance to hug him alone...
I wonder what he is doing in Singapore at this time?
Will you go to the nightclub to have fun and provoke a singer?
Zhang Aijia was biting her thin teeth and was in a daze, but she heard someone talking loudly on the seat diagonally opposite.
"Li Kaiyuan, a woman, is really amazing. After Kinmen Construction was sold out by Jardine Mahjong, people's hearts were fluctuating. Those who resigned and those who changed jobs were in chaos. They thought it had become a mess, but it took her only two or three days to stabilize the morale of the army."
"Yes, it is said that on the first day she went to work in Kinmen Construction, she made the arrogant British men in the upper level bend, and on the second day she convinced the middle-level management and technical traits. No wonder she said she is a phoenix life and has the temperament of being majestic in the world."
Zhang Aijia leaned sideways and saw several middle-aged people in suits and ties through sunglasses. Each of them had similar clothes and wore tie of the same color. It seemed that they were employees who were on business trips from the same company.
"What a dignity in the world? People rely on more money. When she went to Kinmen Construction, she raised everyone's salary by 15, and then gave a lot of options and stocks to senior management and core employees. With a heavy reward, people naturally felt at ease and were obedient."
"This is only on the one hand, and on the other hand, Li Kaiyuan is indeed capable of helping Kinmen Construction further develop... You see, in today's interview with Xinbao, the mainland will soon send more than 20,000 engineers to Shenzhen丨This is obviously a big and special construction. Shenzhen丨 is now a barren land, starting from scratch, with countless business opportunities, Kinmen Construction is involved, and it is difficult not to make money. If it is as she said in the newspaper, Kinmen Construction will be listed in the next five years, and the options and stocks in these employees will be amazing."
"Yes, short-term salary increases and long-term stocks will be affordable and have a bright future. We will work together with two-pronged approaches. If I have an architect license, I will switch jobs to Kinmen Construction now. Maybe I can become a millionaire in a few years."
"Li Kaiyuan is a woman who is so well-informed. Even the Governor of Hong Kong didn't know that the mainland was going to send engineers to Shenzhen丨She already knew that, one step ahead, one step ahead, and then she threw away other construction companies in an instant."
"More than just, think about when did the Kinmen construction fall into her hands? They knew in June that the mainland was going to carry out large-scale development in Shenzhen. At that time, everyone thought she didn't want anything else from Jardine Wong. As long as Kinmen construction was a failure, now look, it was clearly Jardine Wong that suffered a big loss."
"In my opinion, these are probably all the works of Shen Caishen. Li Kaiyuan is just a guise on the table. Who doesn't know that Shen Caishen is doing well in the mainland, even national-level senior officials can see them casually. It is not uncommon to know that Shenzhen is going to carry out large-scale development."
"It's not entirely true. Shen Caishen is very lazy. Whether it's the Rubik's Cube or the Cauliflower doll, they are all made and thrown to Li Kaiyuan for management. Creativity and ideas are important, but management and management are the foundation of a company. It's definitely not easy for Li Kaiyuan to sell Cauliflower dolls for hundreds of millions of dollars."
"This is right. We went to discuss business with Kaiyuan Toys this time. Although we didn't meet Li Kaiyuan herself, the environment, atmosphere and efficiency of the company are no less than that of an internationally renowned large company. She has real materials."
"After all, Shen Cai Shen is the most capable. He has such a powerful woman at home. He dares to go to the female star Zhang Aijia, and he has made the two women obedient. During the day, he has a romance with the Golden Horse Film Queen in the office, and at night, he has a bed and a pillow in the villa with the Queen of Business..."
Zhang Aijia felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, sour and twisted, as if she was jealous and jealous, as well as shame and annoyance. She shook her head and decided not to listen to those boring gossips, took out a book from her bag and read it.
This book looks a bit old, the paper is a bit yellow, and the binding is different from the current books. It is lined up vertically, and flipped from left to right. There is a line of traditional Chinese characters "Chenguang Literature Series" printed horizontally on the cover, two large "Faicheng" imitation Song-style characters printed vertically on the left, and four small characters "Qian Zhongshu" below, and the lower right is a simple drawing of a man and a woman with her back facing away.
That's right, this book is "The Siege", one of the most outstanding novels in the history of modern Chinese literature. Zhang Aijia held it in his hand as a first edition published by Shanghai Chenguang Publishing House in May 1947.
"The City of Besieged" is Qian Zhongshu's only novel. After it was published in 1947, it was widely popular. Three editions were reprinted in just two years. However, after 1949, the work was banned and the light of day was gone. It was not until 19RU that the People's Literature Publishing House reprinted again. However, it was a simplified version and was not suitable for Zhang Aijia to read, so Chen Chong specially bought a complete 1947 traditional version, and then asked Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang to sign their names on the title page.
In 19Ul, the "History of Modern Chinese Novels" by the Yale University Press published literary critic Xia Zhiqing, which attracted widespread attention from the academic community. This book later became a classic work that studied the history of modern Chinese literature and had a far-reaching influence. Xia Zhiqing highly praised "The Besieged City" and believed that it was "the most interesting and delicate novel written in the history of modern Chinese literature, and perhaps the greatest novel." It made "The Besieged City" which was buried in the old paper for political reasons be recognized and understood again.
In 1979, after China and the United States established diplomatic relations, Qian Zhongshu visited the United States with a visiting delegation from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and was warmly welcomed. American publishers took the opportunity to contact him, obtained authorization, and then published the English version of "The Siege", translated by au, which caused a strong response in Europe and the United States. The American Book Association rated it as the annual outstanding academic work, and the British "Times Literature Supplement" published a commentary article, believing that this is the best Chinese novel of the century. Not long after, the Soviet Union, France, Japan, Germany and other countries successively published translations in their own languages, and all received high praise, especially in France and Germany. Many critics believed that this was a great work, and Qian Zhongshu could win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Qian Zhongshu was born in a scholarly family. He first studied Tsinghua University and then Oxford. He was well-versed in Chinese and foreign cultures, and integrated Eastern and Western cultures. "The Besieged City" is a grand view, not only with the charm of Chinese classical literature, but also with many shadows of European culture. Therefore, Westerners do not have a sense of cultural isolation when reading it, and it is easy to understand the irony and absurdity. This book is one of Chen Chong's favorite novels, and it is also one of the works that he first promoted overseas after he established a publishing house. "The Besieged City" translated by au is of great quality and cannot allow Westerners to truly understand the beauty of "The Besieged City". Chen Chong is preparing to find someone to translate again, get a high-quality English version, and then run it to compete for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Qian Zhongshu himself doesn't care about the Nobel Prize in Literature, and Chen Chong doesn't care much about this prize. When Mo Yan won the prize in his previous life, he was not interested at all. However, the RU era was not the 1st century. The RU era, the Asian Games gold medals would make Chinese people cheer, and in the 1st century, the Olympic gold medals were no longer concerned.
In the RU era, China was very poor, and its economy was not good, and its status in the world was not high, and its culture would not be valued. If a Chinese won the Nobel Prize in Literature at this time, it would not only shake the Western world, change their understanding of Chinese literature and culture, but also greatly aroused the enthusiasm and attention of Chinese people for culture. You should know that in the dU era, the era of economy first, the brain and body were inverted, and many cultural industries and cultural people were beaten to pieces by the economic tide, which was a pity.
In fact, in Shen Chong's view, in the 1980s and 1990s, many Chinese writers' works had the qualifications and strength to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, but due to two unfavorable factors, they have never won the award. One is that they do not have high-quality translations, and the other is that they do not understand propaganda and lobbying. Without good translations, Westerners cannot correctly understand the quality of their works. If they do not understand propaganda and lobbying, they cannot impress the judges.
Chen Chong is not educated, but he is rich. If he doesn't translate well by himself, he will find a few more people to translate. He can always produce high-quality versions. As for publicity and lobbying, it is even simpler. Money can make the devil push the mill. As long as you give enough money, no matter the authoritative media or the bricks, they are all as obedient as sheep. They burn tens of millions of dollars and fry him for three or five years, so why worry about not getting the trophy?
The rich are so willful
Of course, Zhang Aijia didn't know about this little thought. She just turned a few pages under Shen Chong's strong recommendation, and then was attracted. This time she returned to Taiwan, she couldn't bear to let go, so she took the plane on the plane.
