On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2005, when people fell into the cliché that has not changed for thousands of years, Xiao Linzi, who has been freed from emotional entanglement, made an astonishing decision: to do business - to jump into the boundless and unfathomable business sea to swim.

In the past few days, he has been staying at home, excited, and even sleepless all night. In the end, one person was locked - Mr. Huang, the second shareholder of a trading company in Hong Kong, and Mr. Huang met Mr. Huang ten years ago. At that time, Mr. Wong was also a manager of a consulting company in Hong Kong and set up a branch in the mainland. Xiao Linzi can be called the main force under his command, and he has made money for him. Therefore, Mr. Wong will give him a considerable dividend every year, believing that he is a goblin and a righteous person, and believes that he is one of his most reliable friends in the mainland. Although he returned to Hong Kong two years ago because of business transformation, every time he returns to the mainland, he always waits for an opportunity to meet him. There is another reason for this, that is, both people like to push a glass of booze.

Mr. Wong specializes in trading. In the face of the huge European and American markets, as long as he can help, even a little help, then he can have smooth sailing and financial resources. At the same time, it can also allow the river to take a smooth boat and change the current dilemma. Xiao Linzi thought and thought, full of confidence.

With the city government behind his chest, he dragged the river and said that he had to let him rest for a day, saying that there was something important to sum up. Jiang Heshui looked at his persistent appearance, obviously out of the shadow of losing his wife, so he readily agreed.

Xiao Linzi prepared a bottle of wine by himself, and wanted to invite Jiang Heshui to go to the "Emperor Hotel" for a chic time, but Jiang Heshui did not go anywhere if he was not a "small family of jade". "When Shujun left, you spent a lot of money, and there are more places to use the money in the future. It's not easy to make money. Jiang Heshui said.

"But as soon as I think of the guy surnamed Yang, I'm full. ”

"One yard is one yard, and the small jasper is very affordable. Yang Weihua is also a duty-based businessman, which is different from his brother. Why don't we go anywhere?" Jiang Heshui planned to let the old lady do something.

"Okay—it's a little bit of a jade. Xiao Linzi hurriedly said.

When the two walked into the "Little Family Biyu", it was not yet eleven o'clock at noon, and there was no one to eat. As soon as Yang Weihua saw the visitor, he hurriedly gave up his seat and served tea, with extraordinary enthusiasm, and repeatedly said that this meal was designated as free.

Xiao Linzi never took Yang Weihua in his eyes, "Pull it down, why are you entertaining? We are not reliable at all with the officials." ”

Yang Weihua was choked by him, and his face was embarrassed.

Jiang Heshui understood what Yang Weihua was thinking, glared at Xiao Linzi, and then slapped Yang Weihua's fat buttocks. "Don't think about anything, or I won't come to you. ”

When Yang Weihua heard Jiang Heshui say this, he immediately changed his face, gave his thumb to Jiang Heshui, and shook his little finger to Xiao Linzi.

"Hurry up, get the best of yours here. Xiao Linzi put Yang Weihua into the kitchen.

Jiang Heshui was still sitting in the old place, pointing to the pile of beer crates against the wall, and said, "Xiao Suiyuan was here that night, and the two of them were stunned for a while. After he finished speaking, he unconsciously glanced through the glass window at the familiar balcony across the road.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Linzi saw his thoughts, "Do you miss my sister-in-law? He smiled, a sly expression.

"Don't you go off-topic, don't forget why did you ask me to come?" Jiang Heshui didn't want to talk about his past at this time, so he reminded him.

The dish came up, and the two of them drank it...... Xiao Linzi showed the grand blueprint he had drawn after careful consideration in front of the rivers and rivers. Jiang Heshui listened attentively, and felt that he had always underestimated him: "Your idea is really good." I don't know much about business, but I know it's not the first few years – it's all about making money, and if you don't get it right now, you're probably going to lose all your money. ”

"If you want to get ahead, you have to give it a go, and a career without risk is all a game in officialdom. I haven't heard of "success is taken in detail, wealth and danger are sought?" Xiao Linzi's words were loud and clear.

"Looks like your kid really ate the scales. Jiang Heshui tried not to pour cold water on him as much as possible, "But I really don't know how to help you." ”

"Don't say that. Xiao Linzi said what he had thought out in advance: "Neither of us can do without each other." You should take it as your own business and throw your shoulders off. Before the holiday, the two of us mainly planned, and when I got Boss Huang in Hong Kong to understand, we began to select the site and recruit troops after the holiday. It's enough to get you a pot of drink—it's not easy. Once you are on the track, you will be responsible for rallying people's hearts, training and education. I have counseled more than 100 companies, and I always feel that the most important thing to set up a factory is to use good people. If this person can't do it, then anything can be done. In fact, training is also an effective means for enterprises to generate income. It's a pity that many bosses are now scumbag, and they don't have this concept at all. ”

"The concept is good, this is the so-called people-oriented. Jiang Heshui praised him.

Xiao Linzi looked at him mysteriously, "Besides, who doesn't know that you have a special relationship with the secretary of the municipal party committee, and official resources are indispensable - available." Hey, there's a new secretary of the municipal party committee, and I heard that the relationship with you is also extraordinary?"

With the Eighth Road to become the secretary of the municipal party committee so quickly? Jiang Heshui was quite surprised. He suddenly stared at him with a straight face, "This is an authentic collusion between officials and businessmen, and if you want to do business, you have to do your duty." Fuck, the last thing I want to do in my life is cling to the powerful, so don't fantasize. ”

"Hey, my brother!" Xiao Linzi was afraid of misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I thought that we couldn't do business without the support of the government." For example, in the future, we will really succeed, if we have the conditions, we will buy a piece of land, build a factory and build an apartment by ourselves, this is a million profits?

Jiang Heshui had to admit that what Xiao Linzi was worried about was an ironclad fact: At present, the main source of funds for the operation of some local administrations is not to rely on the sale of land? The collusion between officials and businessmen and shameless transactions has not only made thousands of house slaves, but also nourished countless groups of JN. "Yes, this land originally belonged to the people of the world, but now it is controlled by a few people. He said with emotion.

Xiao Linzi persuaded a glass of wine, "That's a good thing." When I say that official resources are available, I mean that we can be given a fair market price when the time comes. He said this, but in his heart he was still worried that the market was becoming more and more dangerous, could it really be fair?

"Then you have to go through the right channels," Jiang Heshui said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it a long time ago. At that time, we will not be like those corrupt officials and profiteers who only care about ourselves, and it is necessary to give back to society! Only those who return to society really belong to the common people. Xiao Linzi has a lot of words, as if his dream has come true.

"I love to hear that. Jiang Heshui changed the subject, "Okay, it's all good." But at the moment, the eight characters have not been skimmed, so let's be pragmatic. How much are you going to invest? I can't help you with that. ”

Xiao Linzi thought for a while, "It's not a problem to borrow one million and invest two million." In fact, he had already thought about this, "I have a way, you can rest assured, it is definitely a normal channel." As long as you join with your life, it is a big bet, which is very powerful and safe for me, and at least it can ensure that there will not be a corrupt official around me. Every word he said was heartfelt, not a word was false, and there was no need to flatter a person who was almost like a flower child.

......

"Okay, if you talk too much, it will be repetitive and meaningless. ”

The two chatted and drank while changing topics, and inadvertently talked about Sheng Xiangyun.

"Your sister came back this time to talk a lot, and she didn't even squeak when she left. "The rivers are a little puzzling.

"Don't mention it. Xiao Linzi sighed, "As soon as I mention this, I get angry." My brother-in-law opened a consulting company, and it was okay at first, and he could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month,......"

"Isn't that good, what's the fire?"

"What's the matter! I've just made a few bucks and I don't go home at night, it's a common thing. My sister is worried about this all day long, and she even has the heart to die. Xiao Linzi became more and more angry the more he spoke, "If you make more money in the future, the mongrels will not be able to move the brothel home? ”

Jiang Heshui just listened silently, without making a sound.

Xiao Linzi told him one more thing: "My sister also told me that he wanted me to help him. I think about it, pull it down! Do you think, can he let me go under normal circumstances? Aren't you afraid that I will scratch him? He wants to use my years of accumulation to make money for him, and do the crematorium business that specializes in burning acquaintances. Besides, it's a petty fight with him at best. What is he? Where is he compared to me? Seriously, my ambition is greater than his. He said it conceitedly.

"That's why you want to open a factory and realize your ambitions?"

Xiao Linzi smiled, not knowing how to answer: "How can you say it?" He looked at Jiang Heshui with a confused gaze, "Second brother, there is something I still don't understand?"

"What's the matter?" you say. ”

"Is this really a shame to be laid off?"

Only then did Jiang Heshui know that Xiaolinzi's motive for opening the factory also included elements of Zheng Shujun. He thought for a moment, "What do you mean? I thought—there's nothing fucking going on......." ”

"No wonder Shujun can't think about it so much, she has to give up her life. ”

Jiang Heshui was really not sure to answer this question perfectly, but he knew that Xiao Linzi had been looking forward to this result for a long time. If you can have an effective communication with him about this, it may be the best comfort for him. "If you want me to say, Shujun's situation is really rare, and the subjective and objective reasons are mixed in half. If those mediocre officials didn't choose talents in that ignorant way, with Shujun's professional ability, all her opponents would have been laid off, so that the tragedy would not have happened. Subjectively speaking, Shujun is emotionally closed, narrow-minded, and too dependent on state-owned enterprises, which is also doomed to her inability to face the sudden changes in her life, and her spirit is easy to collapse under the sudden blow. ”

Xiao Linzi had thought about all of this, but it was verified again from the words of the rivers and rivers. He nodded his head in agreement.

The mobile phone rang, and Jiang Heshui knew that it was the old lady calling as soon as he heard Xiao Linzi's tone. "What's the matter?" he asked.

Xiao Linzi smiled, with a strange expression. "I won't tell you, who told you to always shut down. You'll know when you go back. "After that, hurry up and pay and pack.

Jiang Heshui guessed that something important must have happened, but this kid always likes to be a trick. However, it was clear from his face that what had happened must not be anything bad.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, the old lady hurriedly handed over a foreign mail.

Jiang Heshui knew at a glance that it was his son Huaijun who came, and there was a burst of joy, and the heart beat suddenly. However, looking at his son's long-lost letters gradually made his brows tighten, and his mood became heavy.

"Hurry up and read it!" the old couple had already urged several times.

"I'm coming," Xiao Linzi snatched the letter in his hand and read it:

"Dear grandfather, grandma, father, Uncle Lin, aunt, and my lovely little sister, hello! I already knew about my mother, and a classmate from China told me. At first I was desperate, like a little lonely goose that had been wounded and left from the flock, and I didn't know how long I could fly, and when I struggled to come out of despair, I suddenly realized that I was wrong to blame my father. Therefore, I have not contacted you, I hope you will forgive me.

Dad, I have spent many times in memories since I went abroad. Some people say that memories are torture, but I think it's more than that, because I've discovered that there are many things in my memory that have been dusted for a long time, and I know how precious it is to clean it up as before.

I remember when I was a child, every time I met a beggar, you would ask me to give him a little something, and when I resisted the slightest, you would lose your temper, which was the most unhappy moment of my father's life. I ask you what is great love in the world? You tell me that great love in the world is to be willing to give your best things to others. At the time, I thought my father's head was really crowding the crack in the door. Dad, now I understand: Aren't these usually small and inconspicuous actions just the accumulation of great love in the world? I still remember one time, you said to me in the style of a pure idealist: Each of us is like a candle, the light of a candle is weak, and when all the candles are lit, the whole society will be bright. I really want to cry when I think about it now, because Dad is a candle that burns all the time, and I wish Dad could burn slowly and never go out.

Dad, I have long been the arrow in my mother's hand, there is no way back, in the future, I am determined to spend a part of my life with work-study, and I will no longer contact you before I finish my studies, please forgive me.

In addition, my mother must be living with remorse now, and no matter how greedy and shameless she used to be, it does not change the fact that she gave birth to me, and that she has always loved me. So, I begged Dad to have the opportunity to visit her for me and tell her that I miss her and will always love her.

It's almost the New Year, I wish you health and happiness, grandpa and grandma live longer than Nanshan. Finally, please ask my dad to kiss my little sister for me. ”

Signed Huaijun, on the eve of the Spring Festival in 2005.

In addition to bringing anticipation to the family, this letter is more of a sense of heaviness.

Xiao Linzi's eyes were already moist, because the letter involved Zheng Shujun at the beginning. Obviously, Huaijun didn't know that his Aunt Shujun had left him forever. Only the little casual fate does not eat the fireworks in the world, and is happy to the fullest.

The old lady sighed, "This boy, let him write the letter as if he had never written it." ”

"What are you talking about?" the old man was unhappy, and glared at the old lady desperately, "You old lady knows a fart!

Seeing this, Xiao Linzi deliberately rounded the field: "Dad, Mom, don't get angry with any of your two elders; don't worry, as long as I am here, Huaijun will not be able to leave him alone." In order to alleviate the dullness in the house, he followed Huaijun's wishes in the letter, picked up Xiao Suiyuan and let everyone kiss him.

Jiang Heshui looked at Xiao Linzi very gratefully, "I really spent a lot of your money over the years, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in my life." ”

"What are you talking about? Don't you treat me as an outsider?" Xiao Linzi was very unhappy in his heart, "Isn't the money you earn just what you spend?

"Okay, I'm not going to say anything. Jiang Heshui knew that Xiao Linzi's words were true, "No matter what, we have to respect the child's choice, let him experience it, and come to the bitterness." Besides, you'll have too much land to spend your money on. The river reminded Xiao Linzi.

"Gee, this can't be delayed any longer. I have to contact Mr. Huang and ask him to come to us for the Chinese New Year. As long as he can come, we're half the battle. After Xiao Linzi finished speaking, he hurried back to the house.

Xiao Linzi is gone. The old lady looked at the dull and silent river, "When are you going to see Chunyan?" Seeing that he didn't make a sound, "It's also a husband and wife." ”

Jiang Heshui hesitated for a long time, "It's the root of the year, the designation of prison visits is indispensable, I'll go walk around later." ”
