Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 959 Watching the game

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately became the focus of the entire audience, and even Chen Changan immediately looked over.

That's not right. The one Chen Changan remembered living in the palace when he was a child should have died a long time ago.

But the consultant who was speaking looked a bit like that person, and Chen Changan immediately became curious.

"Mr. Pujie, are you sure?"

"Of course, even though I left the palace at a very young age, I have never forgotten the dishes that the imperial chefs in the palace made back then."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Changan realized that this person was the younger brother of that person.

Originally, many judges were very optimistic about the orchid bear paw dish made by Master Liu.

It’s just that no one has ever eaten it before, so there’s no basis for judgment. Now there’s some evidence.

Finally, Master Liu won the first place with his representative Liao cuisine "Orchid Bear Paw".

Master Li won the second place with Sichuan dishes such as "Dry-fried Shark's Fin", "Double-boiled Sea Cucumber" and "Assorted Pickles".

Master Chang won the third place with his unique way of cooking "Red Sorghum Diced Pork".

The chef competition that lasted for several days came to an end, and Chen Changan achieved his goal. He selected a chef who was good at Shandong cuisine and arranged him to work in the car factory.

Although this chef did not get a good ranking in this competition.

But both the technique and the taste are more in line with Chen Changan's taste.

With the end of this competition, Beijing welcomed the year 1985.

Just after New Year's Day, Chen Changan was called to participate in a meeting again. This time the meeting place was still the old place, the Sports Committee.

On January 20th, Chen Changan was invited to attend the mobilization meeting for the construction of the 11th Asian Games.

The content of the meeting was also very simple. The first point was to establish the Asian Games Organizing Committee.

Based on his performance in the Olympics, Chen Changan was also elected as a member of the organizing committee.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Changan immediately had a bad feeling.

The Olympics, and the first Olympics at that, was a witness to history for Chen Changan.

The Asian Games are relatively less important to Chen Changan.

This election was forced. People chose you to give you face and recognize your performance in the Olympics.

Chen Changan had no reason to refuse. At most he would just work without putting in any effort.

The second point is to build and renovate more than 80 venues and a 50 square meter Asian Games Village.

After saying this, the issue of funding was immediately raised.

To sum up, it means that a large amount of funds is needed, but the country is in difficulties. Despite financial support, there is still a big gap in funding.

In addition to issuing sports lottery tickets as in previous marathons, we hope that capable companies or individuals in society will make donations.

The last point is publicity. This is the first time that such a major international event is held.

In order to let more people know about the Asian Games and increase their awareness and participation, vigorous publicity is needed.

This matter has basically nothing to do with Chen Changan. It is the business of the TV station, newspaper, and propaganda department.

Chen Changan’s biggest role is to donate money on behalf of the automobile factory.

Because the matter is of great importance, many units are not able to make the final decision on the spot by those who attend the meeting.

When Chen Changan returned to the car factory, he was also in a dilemma. The specific amount of the donation was very particular and could not be decided on a whim.

Sometimes donating too much is not necessarily a good thing. Not only will it not bring any benefits, it may also offend people.

If he donated too little, he would be easily accused of being stingy. Besides, it was impossible for Chen Changan to put the money from the car factory into his own pocket.

Just when Chen Changan was still considering how much to donate, the phone rang one after another.

Several consecutive calls were from other factory managers who were also invited to attend the meeting.

They also don't know how much to donate.

After all, this matter involves the Asian Games, which is a national project. If the funding is reduced, the final funding gap will be too large and they may be criticized.

Automobile factories are the leading enterprises in the city.

Suppose the car manufacturer donated one million, then they would have a basis.

Depending on the strength and scale of the factory itself, the donation will be similar to that of the automobile factory, or a little less.

But Chen Changan didn't give them the chance to find out the news. He was still waiting for the Huo family to take action.

Over the years, the Huo family has helped the country purchase a lot of good things, even some good things that are embargoed to us.

But he also made a lot of money by acting as an agent for automobile manufacturers' products.

In addition to the entertainment company they co-founded with Chen Changan, the several films shot by Xiujuan, and their own business, they really made a lot of money.

In order to support the country's sports development, the Huo family established a sports foundation after the Olympic delegation returned home.

Athletes who win medals at the Olympics are given gold and cash rewards.

You should know that the gold medals in the Olympics are essentially just silver medals with gold plating, and the real gold is only a few grams.

The foundation established by the Huo family rewards Olympic champions with a 1000-gram pure gold medal and an additional $ in cash.

This time, facing the gap in the country's construction of the Asian Games, the Huo family cannot remain indifferent.

Sure enough, the next day after the news came out, the Huo family announced a donation of 100 million yuan to build a modern swimming pool.

Looking at the Huo family's generosity, Chen Changan could only smile bitterly. Finally, after discussing with Uncle Nie, the automobile factory chose to donate 10 million yuan.

The donation incident passed just like that, and life returned to its former peace.

Until May 5, the peaceful life was disrupted by another sporting event.

"Dad, I want to watch a football game. Can you take me to the stadium to watch the game?"

Longlong, who is already nine years old, looks strong and vigorous. He is not only good at studying, but also very good at sports.

Originally, Chen Changan liked his daughter more, but after experiencing the train station explosion and Yan Jiecheng's kidnapping.

Chen Changan felt that he owed his son something, and since he was also very sensible, Chen Changan would satisfy some of his requests.

When he heard about watching a football match, many memories in Chen Changan's mind emerged.

"Why do you want to watch a football game?"

"Because the physical education teacher in our school likes to play football, he also taught us how to play football.

Today is the match between our national football team and the Hong Kong football team. As long as the two teams draw, they can enter the next round of the World Cup qualifiers.

And it's at the Workers' Stadium, Dad, can you take me to see it?"

Chen Changan is not a pure fan. He likes basketball more than football.

I had no idea what level the national team was at at that moment, but when I heard that there was a tie in the last round, I immediately had a bad feeling.
