Chapter 151: Movable Housing and the Giant Building~
On July 1st, the Company Law came into effect, and from now on, starting a company is becoming more formalized.

On July 5, the Labor Law was promulgated and will take effect on January 1 next year.

Before drafting the Labor Law, they interviewed various sectors of society, distributed leaflets and conducted surveys on the street, and promoted it at publicity points...

……

Summer was still studying the newly released "Prison Movement Law" when Little Pelosi from the United States called.

In the summer, I put aside the "Prison Break Law" and started talking to him about this year's American movies.

This year is being called a "big year for world cinema"!
There have been so many classic movies this year!

For example, "The Redemption of a Kidney-Cutting Patient," originally written by Stephen King.

"Some birds are just born to be caged; their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet, and they are too wild."

For example, Forrest Gump, which just premiered in the United States yesterday!
"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name published in 86 by American author Winston Groom…

The film is considered a manifestation of the American Dream!

However, the original novel aimed to satirize the absurdity of reality, that is, to mock American society.

For example, mental illness, hippies, AIDS, etc.

Therefore, a character with intellectual disabilities was deliberately created to explain the various irrationalities of reality, making it a counter-mainstream novel.

It's a complete black comedy!

However, Hollywood's global cultural export of the American Dream has shown its effect; they've managed to make it a true reflection of the American Dream!

Even a fool could succeed and achieve the American Dream. Tell me, aren't you tempted?!
That is a beacon of civilization that attracts countless people around the world!

Fortunately, at the time when Xia Tian traveled through time, even the world's most powerful propaganda machine broke down—what Little Black Mermaid, what Black Princess!
The rectification efforts have actually made the propaganda machine smoke!
Another example is the French film *Léon: The Professional*, which tells the story of an older male hitman and a young girl.
Is life always so painful, or is it only like this when you're a child?

"It's always like this."

There's also Schindler's List.

Of course, as we all know now, Schindler spent almost all his wealth bribing German officers in his efforts to save the Jews.

However, in his later years when he was destitute, he only received a little over ten thousand US dollars in condolences from the Jews.

This was only received after Schindler proactively applied for assistance from the "United Jewish Distribution Committee of America".

It wasn't until Spielberg, a Jewish director, made "The List," which grossed hundreds of millions at the box office, that he gave Schindler's widow a check for $50,000 in 1998.

His widow was finally able to visit his grave in Isabel for the first time...

For example, The Lion King, with a global box office record of $9.87 million for animated films, stood for 16 years until it was broken by Toy Story 3 in 2010.

For example, *Speed*, *Interview with the Vampire*, *The Mask*, *Natural Born Killers*, *True Lies*...

There are also many classic works in China, such as "To Live", "Eat Drink Man Woman", and several works by Stephen Chow.

For example, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction!
Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or, and Quentin Tarantino has ascended to the throne!

This movie is sure to be a huge hit, and Shenlong Pictures is already getting ready to fill sacks with cash!
……

The 6th CCTV Young Singers Competition has also entered the finals this month.

One of the singers was a pop singer from the south who won second prize in the popular singing category of the professional group. His name is quite familiar: Lin Yilun.

And this month, there was another event in the Yenching literary circle—Wang Xiaobo published "The Golden Age".

Summer is quite particular, and I admire this person, so I even helped promote them in the newspaper.

Summer's popularity was quite high, prompting many book and music fans to buy Wang Xiaobo's books.

Wang Xiaobo's grades are average, but he is quite talented and versatile!

Can you imagine that Wang Xiaobo majored in economics, made a living through writing and teaching, but taught himself programming and developed a typing software and a Chinese character input method for his own convenience?
You've misallocated all your skill points!
……

On July 14, "Mountain City Forest" was released in Hong Kong. How did it fare at the box office?

Back in Hong Kong last summer, I told the paparazzi that this film was a bit dull and inexplicable, but it was a very artistic film.

So the audience didn't have high expectations.

But we still have to give Brother Tian some face.

Art film it is, I'll watch it first!

When I saw the results, wow, it's really artistic! The box office was extremely high in the first three days, and it didn't fall behind even Hollywood blockbusters like "Speed" that were released at the same time.

Then it suddenly turned downwards.

We've already given Brother Tian a break; the rest is purely due to the film's own appeal.

The film grossed approximately HK$1267 million over its final 22 days of run.

The original film only grossed a little over 7 million, but the summer season brought in at least 5 million more at the box office! But that's about it!

But this is already quite good. What more could you want from a low-budget art film?
There were many more awards to come, as well as copyright sales, so there was still some profit to be made.

"Ashes of Time" was released later than "Mountain City Forest," and ultimately grossed over 900 million yuan at the box office.

That group of big-name stars couldn't make it work, it's far inferior to "The Eagle Shooting Heroes"!
On July 17, an astronomical event occurred: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.

This is the only cosmic event that humanity has ever witnessed up close!

This event has garnered global attention, and governments around the world have deployed their most advanced equipment to monitor Jupiter 24/7.

在7月17号到22日的5天多时间内，SL9的20多块碎片接二连三地撞向木星。

This is equivalent to detonating 20 billion atomic bombs continuously over Jupiter for more than 130 hours, releasing the energy of approximately 40 trillion tons of TNT!
Such an explosive magnitude has undoubtedly refreshed people's understanding of celestial impacts and is truly frightening.

On July 18, the Cabinet made the "Decision on Deepening the Reform of the Urban Housing System"... which means that there will be no more housing provided by work units!

The issuance of the "Decision" opened the door to the commercialization of urban housing, marking the comprehensive advancement of housing marketization.

Besides Fengming, Yanjing now also has other early real estate companies such as Shoukai, Tianhong, Zhuzong, and Dacheng.

The developers built residential communities such as Wangfu Garden and Penglai Garden Villas along Litang Road, thus beginning the real estate development in Yanjing.

But it's too far, it's better to stay in the Asian Games Village!

……

On July 23, CCTV's program "Animation City" premiered, which is a childhood memory!
The windmill turns with a creaking sound, the scenery here is so beautiful, the sky is beautiful, the land is beautiful, and there are happy friends to share it with~

From now on, the cartoon will start promptly at 5:45 every day!
Milan now sits on the sofa every day without fail, waiting.

To accommodate the pregnant woman, they moved their dinner time forward by half an hour in the summer.
"Animation City" was formerly known as the program "Red, Yellow, and Blue." The host is Sister Little Deer.
However, the show received a lukewarm reception in its first week, with a viewership rating of only 3.2%. This was broken by a letter from Zhang Tao, a primary school student from the fictional "Tianxia Datong" (天下大同) story, written by a viewer.

"The amazing gadgets in 'Blue-Skinned Mouse and Big-Faced Cat' are even more fun than the Tetris machine my dad bought!"

So the production team worked overnight to create an "animated stamp" lottery event, using postcards printed with advertisements for Golden Monkey ice cream to launch the first generation of audience interaction.

……

Oh, by the way, some news came from the south.

Most people might not care or notice, but Xia Tian, ​​who lives in the same business district, definitely knows about it.

After all, he receives a constant stream of news from friends all over the country every day.

Including this Giant Building!
Shi Yuzhu is not a newcomer. He started his business by making Chinese character cards. Giant's Chinese character card sales ranked first among similar products in the country, and the company's annual profit was more than 1000 million yuan.

By 92, his giant had grown into a high-tech company with capital exceeding 1 million yuan!

Indeed, it can be considered a high-tech company. Giant has continuously developed products such as Chinese handwriting computers, Chinese laptops, Giant Chinese electronic cash registers, Giant financial software, and Giant antivirus cards.

It's just that because foreign companies have squeezed in, the domestic "high-tech" companies are now technologically inferior, which is very distressing.

In 93, at the peak of his career, Shi Yuzhu wanted to build a giant building!
Initially, it seemed the plan was to build a 38-story building, with funding provided by the company itself; there was no intention to develop real estate.

However, when you're in the world of martial arts, you're often not in control of your own destiny!

Anyway, Shi Yuzhu changed his mind because of this issue, and the Giant Building was increased from the designed 38 floors to 54 floors.

Later, another piece of news came out that Guangzhou was building the tallest building in the country, with a total of 63 floors—it should be the Guangzhou International Building.

Then someone said to Shi Yuzhu, "You've already built 54 stories, what's a few more? Why don't you just surpass the tallest building in Guangzhou and bring glory to our Zhuhai!"

Therefore, Shi Yuzhu decided to place the Giant Building on the 64th floor.

But soon someone said that the number of floors was unlucky... so it was changed to 70 floors.

This year, Shi Yuzhu made a high-profile announcement in the media that he would build a "symbol" of the Giant Group - the Giant Building, the "tallest building" in China!
In no time, Shi Yuzhu, who had just turned 30, became known in the media as a "business superstar" and "son of a future business emperor," enjoying immense fame and fortune!

The sequel to this story is quite dramatic... it's like taking too big a step and ending up with something terrible, we'll talk about that later!
