A mother and son followed the flow of people to the airport lobby. The mother was wearing a green trench coat and big sunglasses, which made it difficult to see her true face. She was holding a three or four-year-old child in her hand. For
The situation in front of me seemed very curious.
If anyone observes carefully, behind the mother and son, there are several attendants, some helping to carry their luggage, and some keeping an eye on the surroundings.
"Mommy, is this your hometown?" the child asked in Cantonese.
The mother smiled and said: "Achen, didn't mommy tell you that you should speak Mandarin when you get back here?"
Achen said coquettishly: "Have you forgotten?"
The mother's face showed the light of maternal love and said: "Then remember now, this is indeed Mommy's hometown. Your daddy is waiting for us outside. Get out quickly!"
The maternal love on the mother's face turned into admiration when she said the last words!
When the group of people walked out of the airport hall, there was a row of cars parked outside the airport, all here to pick up people. Several of them were there. After seeing the mother and son walking out of the airport hall, they quickly greeted them and said: "Madam, Wu
The guide is already waiting for you in the car!"
This mother and son are exactly Gong Ying and his son who came back from Xiangjiang to spend New Year's Day with Wu Jianye.
Originally Wu Jianye was going to Xiangjiang, but when he called Gong Yin, Gong Yin mentioned that he had not been back to Shanghai for a long time and wanted to come back for a visit. At the same time, Wu Qichen also started to remember things, and Gong Yin also hoped that Wu Qichen could
I often go back to the country to visit.
So Wu Jianye and Gong Yin discussed it and prepared to spend New Year's Day in Shanghai!
With the development of the times, domestic newspapers began to imitate the newspapers in Xiangjiang and began to report gossip about celebrities. Wu Jianye has become more low-key now, so he has been waiting for Gong Yin and his son in the car.
His car was a rare commercial car in China. After Gong Yin and Wu Qichen got in the car, they saw Wu Jianye who had been waiting in the car.
Although Wu Jianye has been filming movies in the United States in the past two years, he will occasionally take a day or two to return to Xiangjiang to see Gong Yin and Zhou Huimin, so Wu Qichen is not too unfamiliar with Wu Jianye.
But there is still no intimacy like when I was with Gong Yin.
However, children are always easy to coax. When Wu Jianye took out the gift that he had prepared long ago, the strange feeling in Wu Qichen's heart disappeared.
The car was driving on the highway in Shanghai. In the car, Wu Jianye and Wu Qichen were playing with toys, while Gong Yin was looking at this city that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Although the development speed of Shanghai is not as fast as that of Pengcheng, due to its special geographical location, its development status is not much worse, and its foundation is too good, so even today's Pengcheng still has no way to compete with Shanghai.
Compared to the sea.
Construction sites can be seen everywhere, showing that the city is glowing with vitality.
But what remains unchanged is the special sense of intimacy that belongs to Gong Yin.
This is the same feeling as many people who return to their hometown. Although their hometown has changed, the sense of belonging in their hearts is still irreplaceable!
When passing by the overpass, Gong Yin also saw a billboard with a Coca-Cola product hanging on it, and then looked at the father and son who were grabbing toys with Wu Qichen, and looked happy, and sweetness arose in his heart.
After the car drove for a while, Gong Ying realized that they were not going to their residence in Shanghai, and asked curiously: "Where are we going?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You'll know when the time comes!"
Soon the car reached Hongqiao Road and turned into a villa.
As a Shanghainese, Gong Yin naturally knows this place.
"Sassoon Villa?" Gong Yin glanced at Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Yes, some time ago I asked Zhou Tao to find the Shanghai Municipal Government and buy this place!"
The courtyard houses in Yanjing and the old bungalows in Shanghai are both residences with the characteristics of the times. In the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, there were only more than a hundred old bungalows in Shanghai for sale, and
Sassoon Villa is rated as one of the top ten old bungalows in Shanghai.
It took a lot of effort to buy this place. As one of the most famous old houses in Shanghai, this place has always been the focus of the Shanghai Municipal Government. If Zhou Tao's influence was not too great, the Shanghai Municipal Government would not have done so.
I will sell this place to him.
But even when it was sold to Zhou Tao, the price here was 2,550 per square meter. The Sassoon Villa covers an area of 1,225.44 square meters. In other words, in 1991, Zhou Tao spent more than 3 million to buy this place, plus
In addition to other expenses, it cost nearly 4 million to buy this place!
However, in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, the house prices here were at least hundreds of thousands per square meter. Just like the courtyard houses in Yanjing, such things were all available, and they had a price but no market.
Not only this place, but also Shengjia Garden, which later became the headquarters of Huhai Huayi, Libo Garden of Yunting Restaurant, and Buhard Residence of Yongle Film and Television Group, were all bought by Wu Jianye.
Zhou Tao, Yan Wen and others also followed Wu Jianye and bought many old bungalows.
The good thing about the old bungalows Wu Jianye bought was that the property rights were relatively clear and there were not that many problems. But for the old bungalows bought by Zhou Tao and Yan Wen, some were more troublesome.
Among them, Zhou Tao bought an old bungalow because the owner of the old bungalow lent his old bungalow to others to live in. When the director of the old bungalow sold it, the family immediately counterattacked and said that they also had property rights to the old bungalow.
Anyway, it was just a confusing account. Later, I heard from Zhou Tao that the owner of the old bungalow finally paid a huge amount of compensation to appease those people.
Sassoon Villa, also known as Luo Beigan Garden or Luo Baikang Garden, is located at No. 2409 Hongqiao Road, Changning District. It is a private residence built by the British Sassoon in 1932.
The Sassoon Villa has a construction area of 800 square meters and is a British country-style spire garden house.
The plan adopts an unknown layout, with the shape divided but connected as a whole. The main building is placed horizontally in the north, the servants' bedroom, kitchen, and stove room are located at the rear of the main house, and the garage, stables, and greenhouse are placed on the west side.
The main house faces north and faces south, with a brick and wood structure, with two floors in the east and one floor in the middle and west.
There is a large platform at the entrance, the entrance is a corridor, and there is a 200 square meter rectangular hall. The east end of the hall is the dining room, the back is the study room, and the second floor is the bedroom and living room.
The interior decoration is all made of oak and teak. The doors and windows are specially made of wood with boil scars, and the rough traces of ax corners are retained. The small hardware components are all handmade, and the details also reveal a simple and rustic atmosphere.
The main house uses exposed brown ink oil smoke wood to frame the roof. The roof has a steep slope and is covered with red tiles. The walls are pink and light yellow, with bright and elegant colors.
There are plantains, podocarpus, locust trees and other trees planted on both sides of the main house. There is a large lawn to the south. There are two side-by-side sycamore trees planted in the northwest corner of the lawn, with swing chairs underneath. There are tall walls around the villa.
After buying this place, Wu Jianye asked Zhou Tao to send people to renovate it and add a lot of modern equipment.
Wu Jianye got out of the car with Wu Qichen in his arms, and walked into the villa with Gong Yin and others.
Two sisters, Zhao Xiaoyan and Zhao Xiaofeng, are already waiting here.
Zhao Xiaoyan is now one of the ace hosts of Shanghai TV, and her intellectual flavor is getting stronger and stronger. However, what worries my uncle is that Zhao Xiaoyan has not found a suitable boyfriend yet.
Zhao Xiaofeng is now a senior student at Jiaotong University. She simply wears a ponytail, a stand-up collar sweater, and jeans, which is somewhat similar to her sister when she was in college.
After Wu Qichen saw the two sisters, he seemed a little shy. He hid behind Wu Jianye and looked at them secretly.
"These are your two aunts, don't be afraid!" Wu Jianye introduced them to Wu Qichen.
Wu Qichen's personality is exactly the opposite of Wu Nianyi's. Compared to Wu Nianyi's out-of-the-box temperament, Wu Qichen seems a bit dull.
"Auntie!" Wu Qichen whispered.
The two sisters, Zhao Xiaoyan and Zhao Xiaofeng, had long known what was going on with their brother. When they saw Wu Qichen's pink and tender appearance, they immediately felt like they had found a new toy. After a few rounds, they became familiar with Wu Qichen.
Wu Qichen handed it to the two sisters, and Wu Jianye took Gong Ying to visit the situation here. Wu Jianye arrived in Shanghai two days earlier than Gong Ying, so he was relatively familiar with this place.
In the evening, the dishes prepared at home are of course local dishes from Shanghai and Hainan.
While eating, Wu Jianye asked Zhao Xiaoyan: "My uncle has called me several times. How is your situation?"
Zhao Xiaoyan knew that Wu Jianye was asking about her personal situation, so she quickly said: "Brother, just leave this matter alone, I have my own plans!"
"You think I want to take care of you? If your parents hadn't called you every day, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you!" Wu Jianye complained, "You'll suffer a lot if you go back this year!"
Zhao Xiaoyan glanced at Wu Jianye proudly and said, "I really can't go back this year. I have a mission in the station!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Zhao Xiaoyan and said, "I will bring them to Shanghai for you that day. Let me see if you will be as relaxed as you are now!"
"Brother, you are my brother. If they come, I will go crazy!" Zhao Xiaoyan quickly begged for mercy.
Wu Jianye was very satisfied with Zhao Xiaoyan's reaction, so he laughed. Zhao Xiaoyan also discovered that Wu Jianye was teasing her and immediately expressed dissatisfaction.
Several people finished dinner lively.
Only then did Wu Jianye have time to ask Zhao Xiaofeng about his future plans.
"The internship is coming next year. Have you decided where to go?" Wu Jianye asked.
Zhao Xiaofeng said indifferently: "I haven't thought about it yet. Brother, do you have anything to introduce?"
Zhao Xiaofeng studied international economics and trade. Later, this subject was planned by Shanghai Jiaotong University and transferred to Antai College of Economics and Management. However, Shanghai Jiaotong University has not yet cooperated with American Antai International Group, so Antai College of Economics and Management has not yet been established.
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "Since you are studying international economics and trade, you can't limit your vision to the country. Let me contact you with a European university, and you can go there to continue studying how to do it."
Sample?"
Zhao Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said, "Brother, will this..."
Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry about money. I will arrange a job for you in Europe when the time comes. The salary will be enough to cover your tuition there. There is one more thing I want to tell you!
"
Zhao Xiaoyan asked: "What happened?"
Wu Jianye said: "This year I will ask Sisi to set up a Dahuang Trust Fund in Xiangjiang. At that time, I will invest one million Hong Kong dollars per person according to your head count. However, this money is lent to you by me, and the initial income will be
Pay it into my account first, and after the principal of one million is paid off, you will get a sum of funds from it every year in the future!"
In fact, Wu Jianye had thought about this matter a long time ago. Now the younger brothers and sisters around him have grown up, and they must have their own ideas. As for whether they want to work or start a business, Wu Jianye is sure
We will support them separately and establish the Dahuang Trust Fund, which is just to buy them an insurance policy.
Of course, Wu Jianye will not help everyone. For example, Wu Jianfeng, he will definitely not care about it, and people like Zhao Xiaoqiang and Wu Jianhu are already successful in their careers. It is up to them whether they are willing to join when the time comes.
Something happened.
Wu Jianye took out the money mainly to help Zhao Xiaoyan and Zhao Xiaofeng who did not have their own careers. Although Zhao Xiaoyan is now a well-known host on Shanghai TV, it is not certain how high the salary will be.
When Zhao Xiaoyan heard this, she quickly refused and said, "Brother, this is not good!"
Zhao Xiaoyan has received a lot of help from Wu Jianye over the years. Now that Wu Jianye wants to help them, she naturally feels embarrassed!
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Let's settle the matter as it is. The purpose of establishing this family trust fund is mainly to enable you to live a better life."
When Zhao Xiaoyan wanted to say something else, Wu Jianye stared at her, wondering what to say!
Zhao Xiaofeng is still a little excited about going abroad. Now she is no longer a silly girl in the countryside. She has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few years outside. She also wants to go out and see what the outside world is like.
This does not mean that she likes foreign countries, it can only be said that she hopes to see a wider world.
"Brother, I will choose a school during this time!"
"Choose. When the time comes, choose the school, and someone will take care of the rest!" Wu Jianye said. According to Wu Jianye's current strength, there is no problem in letting his sister go to school abroad.
In the next few days, you can see Zhao Xiaofeng carefully choosing various schools.
When the time came on New Year's Day in 1992, Wu Jianhu and Hu Wenxi, who were in Pengcheng, also came to Shanghai.
Even Chen Ming, who had not been seen for a long time, came over when he found out that Wu Jianye was in Shanghai. He still has enough to eat for himself and the whole family is not hungry, and he lives a very free and unrestrained life.
The woman accompanying him also changed, becoming an actress from Shanghai Film Studio.
