The years of an old man are just like the calendar cards at the end of the year. If you tear each one off, it will become shorter.
It becomes more and more desolate as time goes by, and I can only watch helplessly as there are only a few of my "calendar cards" left.
Therefore, the elderly usually pay special attention to their birthdays, because after reaching their seventh or eighth decade, everyone has a clear mind, and the distance between birthdays and funerals is no longer so far away.
It is precisely because of this that the elderly are particularly concerned about the life events of their children and descendants.
After starting a family, getting married and having children, you can only see your children achieve these goals, flourish, and have a stable life.
Only the elderly will think that their lives are basically on the right track, and they can almost rest assured in the future.
Ning Weimin has no parents, and he didn't understand this in the past.
But in this life, he had been exposed to it through living in No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong, and because his work required frequent contact with those master craftsmen with beautiful mouths, he had already understood this.
He knew better that all this stemmed from the care and love of the elderly for their children and descendants.
Therefore, out of consideration for Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun's wishes, he tried his best to comply with the wishes of these two old men just like he treated his biological parents.
As long as it can make the two old people happy and feel at ease, he will do his best to cooperate.
If you want money, give money, if you want things, give things. Whatever you want him to do, he will do it.
So he soon fulfilled his promise to the old man.
Not only did he invest 2.4 million yuan to establish a joint venture company called "Jinyumantang International Hotel Management Company" with Jiang Nianyun, he successfully completed the industrial and commercial registration procedures and became the major shareholder with 51% of the shares.
And he privately gave the old man 600,000 yuan.
He didn't say it was to make up for the shortfall in preparing for the wedding, because saying so would imply that he was ungrateful and wanted to make a clear distinction regarding money.
He only said that he would keep it for the old man as pocket change.
As for this disciple, who can say anything bad?
My own son may not be able to do this.
From then on, Ma's Garden, which was open to the public, officially had a new name - Yun Garden.
Speaking of which, this name was proposed by Kang Shude on his own initiative, and was named after a character in Jiang Nianyun's name.
The original meaning of this word is to describe the fragrance of vegetation. It is both elegant and appropriate, and also means full of vitality and lush vegetation.
This not only fully demonstrates the grandeur of the old man, but also reveals his sincerity, including his affection for the fourth young lady of the Jiang family.
Otherwise, how could he name the industry he cares most about after someone else?
At the very least, you have to add a character from your name. This is the basic operation.
In fact, even Jiang Sunyun herself had the same meaning. The old lady was very moved, so she also mentioned a name and added a word from Kang Shude's name.
However, not only did the old man disagree with this name, but Ning Weimin also strongly opposed it.
For no other reason than who asked the fourth young lady of the Jiang family to name her "De Yunyuan"?
This definitely won’t work. You can’t call it this.
Ning Weimin couldn't get over this name because the association it gave people was too bad.
It's impossible for such a good garden to end up with the same name as the cross talk crew in the future.
If others associate this garden with the "university scholar"'s performance of "dancing and writing" on the stage, then stretching the hips will greatly affect their own style.
Not to mention that Huayuanzi can't use this name, even the theater can't do it.
Otherwise, when that person becomes famous, people will think it is their branch.
Who can stand it if we have to recruit hundreds of clever "tightrope" people to block the door of the theater every day to buy tickets?
So now that we know it, we must eradicate this future trouble. We really can’t fight again and again.
So in the end, with everyone’s unanimous insistence, we decided on the name originally given by the old man - Yunyuan.
With the legal procedures in place, we can recruit people and buy two more imported cars.
But Ning Weimin doesn't need to worry about these things. Just like the old man said, he is just a hands-off shopkeeper.
His cheap cousin Shen Cun will handle all this.
Originally, fast food chain stores needed recruitment and training, which was something Shen Cun had always taken care of. Now, according to actual needs, at most he would have to wait for advertisements in newspapers again and continue recruiting in the name of Yunyuan.
Now that the fast food chain has no stores open, it is not difficult to temporarily transfer a few people here to meet daily responsibilities.
Don't look at the small number of people, but the skilled hands.
If you really want to have a wedding meal, you don’t have to worry about it. The catering requires professional work, and the people at Tan Palace Restaurant will take care of it.
Even the matter of buying imported cars is the same. Shen Cun is already familiar with the car, and it is easy for him to handle these things by himself even if there is no one to help him.
However, Ning Weimin didn't just give up on everything. He was still very concerned about the wedding shed.
He first went to the Temple of Heaven Park to talk about fire prevention in detail with someone from the security department.
Unexpectedly, what he thought was very difficult turned out to be a layer of window paper, and it was not difficult to pierce it at all.
Since the 1970s, our country has had its own fire-retardant coatings.
So for the Temple of Heaven Park, for this kind of temporary thing, it only needs to be built during the construction process.
Spraying fireproofing treatments on wooden structures and flammable materials can greatly reduce the incidence of fires.
Although it is not absolutely impossible to catch a fire, you still need to prepare a fire extinguisher and have someone to watch and patrol.
But compared to the past when we didn't have this method and could do it at the drop of a hat, it was much safer.
All public activities in the Temple of Heaven Park and those temporary commercial greenhouses are done in this way.
Just be careful of sawdust and construction debris. So far there has been no real fire, it's usually just local minor problems caused by cigarette butts.
What's more, there is no need to use open flame lamps for lighting now. According to the head of the Temple of Heaven Security Section, under normal weather, it is very safe to use electric lights for lighting as long as you try not to use open flames and run wires to avoid electricity.
The section chief also said that if Ning Weimin was worried, he could ask the director for support during his wedding days.
As long as the Temple of Heaven Security Department is allowed to send people to assist, there will definitely be no trouble in terms of fire safety.
Not only did Ning Weimin relax, he returned home happily.
When he returned, he relayed these words to Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun, and the two old men were also very happy.
In this way, the design of the wedding shed is no longer a problem.
The money is readily available now. All we need to do is follow the construction requirements of the Temple of Heaven Park, buy enough fire-retardant coatings, spray all the flammable building materials first, and then let them dry for normal construction.
But then again, if fire prevention had become so easy, now that I think about it, it would be a bit of an injustice for this shed business to disappear.
In other words, had it not been for the Changing Customs Movement, the craftsmen who were engaged in building greenhouses would have persisted for a few more years.
Maybe he can still survive and not lose the legacy of incense.
To be honest, our people are actually very willing to spend money on weddings and funerals.
Most people save their money all their lives just to use it on these things.
Therefore, even if there are no more big houses building tents in the coming summers, the tent builders will not starve to death if they only eat free and easy things.
Thinking of this, Kang Shude and Jiang Nianyun felt a little sad and couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed that through Master He and Master Zheng, they were reliving the unpredictable loss of life and the helplessness of being unable to control their fate.
But Ning Weimin didn't believe this evil, because he suddenly thought of more.
Needless to say, he suddenly had some new discoveries and new ideas.
It turns out that no matter what high-level industry he is in, he always remains true to his roots, and we in China all have prototypes.
In fact, in his view, for shed builders, with the development of the times, even weddings and weddings have become a small business.
Because the scaffolding industry also has natural advantages in public and commercial activities, isn't this industry equivalent to the business scope of the future exhibition industry?
But how could the future exhibition industry be as cheap and convenient as he had seen?
As a person in the information age, who hasn’t seen several exhibitions and participated in several large-scale commercial events?
In Ning Weimin's impression, although those strange and strange booths were all made of wood, no matter how large the booths were, they were almost all built within a week.
But the most basic materials are made of heavy iron frames wrapped with large core boards.
To build a two-story structure, a lot of people would have to work together for several days.
Especially for traditional Chinese exhibition stands and activities, if you want to create a three-dimensional effect without using inkjet printing to fool people, it will cost a lot of money.
For comparison, where can shed builders build these things quickly, conveniently, gorgeously and at an affordable price?
The advantages of being outdoors are even more incomparable.
In his previous life, Ning Weimin was attending an auto show at the National Exhibition in Beijing, and he witnessed with his own eyes the scene of a wooden and iron-framed booth being blown down by strong winds of level 7 in windy weather.
But what does the scaffolding built by the shed builders look like?
Although it is as high as ten feet and as wide as ten feet, it all rises from the ground, and there is not a single pillar in the middle.
But even if there is a level 12 hurricane attack, it will not fall apart.
According to the two masters, this is the most basic requirement.
Since the establishment of this industry in Beijing, there has never been a case of a greenhouse being blown down by the wind. If you can't do this, what else are you doing?
No matter how strong the wind is, at most it will lift the entire scaffolding and then completely fall to another place.
This shows how sturdy the shed is.
Think about it, from this point of view, doesn’t it mean that the longer we live, the closer we will go back?
My ancestors actually threw away and forgot their things, and then learned what others call modern exhibition technology, using iron shelves, thick wood, and plastic boards to build things.
It is neither environmentally friendly nor wasteful.
When I see a portable truss or a standard stall built with plug-in methods, I feel that it is so convenient and advanced, and I am very impressed.
What is this called?
This is called cultural degradation!
So stupid!
Too stupid!
It's such a pity. Just for the moment, we hold the Canton Fair every year for the sake of exports. We do such stupid things every year. I don't know how much money has been wasted!
So we have to follow the thinking that Ning Weimin has gradually become clear about. As long as this industry is not really eradicated, there are still people who understand technology.
In fact, it is not difficult to revive the traditional industry of shed business and even develop it.
After all, China's future commercial exhibition market demand is too great, and the practicality and applicability of the shed industry cannot be fully covered by the business content of the exhibition industry.
It can really be used for public activities and residents' daily needs, and it can be used for at least one season.
For now, for example, every summer the book market in Temple of Heaven Park, the night market at Dong'anmen, and even the clothing stalls in Xidan Shopping Mall are perfect for using this technique.
It would be nice to set up a pavilion, outdoor teahouse and pergola at a tourist attraction or park.
Especially in the near future, the Asian Games will be held, aren’t there ready-made places for them to be used?
Let's make a bolder idea. If we really improve it and study how to use the iron frame as the inner frame, it may make the greenhouse more fire-fighting and safer, and the future is limitless!
It would really be an eye-opener for foreigners to give these so-called shed builders who are "out of touch with the times" a chance to show off their skills and save money and gain face.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin is not just satisfied with letting these wedding tents shine again, but just becoming the souvenirs of this last appearance at his wedding.
What he hopes is to gain an opportunity to truly revive this traditional industry in the capital.
So in addition to quickly contacting people and coming over to shoot the documentary, he also found time in private to have new discussions with Master He and Master Zheng.
He said that after the fire protection work is completed, the wedding tent will be built according to your ideas, but he does not hope this will be the last time we cooperate.
He is willing to personally invest 200,000 yuan to establish a celebration company.
Then Master He and Master Zheng were hired as consultants, and several of their capable apprentices served in the company for a long time.
If you have a job, you don't have to resign, you can work part-time.
Of course, they no longer need to think about where to find work in the future, as there will be dedicated personnel in charge of business issues.
When there is work, they can be completely independent like setting up a wedding tent this time, forming a temporary team to work, and allowing their disciples, disciples, colleagues and friends to earn some extra money.
When they don't have any work, they still have a monthly salary of at least two to three hundred yuan.
This allows them to cooperate with civilian staff with peace of mind to organize industry information, prepare for the restoration of the tradition and technology of the shed industry, and even publish an industry monograph.
Needless to say, no matter whether it is the two masters or their several capable apprentices, there is no possibility of disagreement!
To be able to make money, show your face, and even leave a name for future generations is like a big piece of pie that was born to fall.
Master He and Master Zheng were naturally as determined as Jiang Sanchang, who made utensils, and Liu Yongqing, who made antique porcelain, to die for their confidants.
With gratitude and emotion, he regarded Ning Weimin as a living Buddha who saved people in distress, a peerless good man who was willing to use money to do good deeds.
Is there any reason not to serve your life with all your heart?
On the other hand, no one knew Ning Weimin's true intentions.
No one would know why Ning Wei Minwei was so happy even though he was spending money to do good deeds.
No one understands this kind of fun.
To be honest, even Ning Weimin himself didn't believe that he could just come back and get married and pick up a treasure.
Another golden lump was picked up by him and put into his sack.
There is no need to doubt that before long, this shiny treasure will appear out of nowhere and blind the eyes of ignorant people.
