Chapter 64: Returning Home
"I smell freedom. Hu Wenhai took a deep breath, and the coldness in the air activated his sleepless mind, making him laugh involuntarily.
"Comrade Xiaohu, please go this way. Although Lin Qianjun was also happy that he had stepped on the land again, he still did not forget his duty, and still vigilantly looked at everyone who had the intention of approaching, and then used his body to cover Hu Wenhai's safety.
"I said Director Lin, there's no need for this, we've already returned to China!"
Yes, it took four months for Hu Wenhai to finally return to China. What is somewhat funny is that he went to the United States because he was too rich and had to go to the United States to avoid "debts".
Now that he has returned to China, the results do not seem to have changed. Hu Wenhai has become richer, but the "creditor" owners have only changed a batch.
He used to be able to run to the United States, but now he can't run anywhere.
"Comrade Xiaohu, I am also carrying out orders, you can understand. Lin Qianjun walked as he spoke, and after a while, he took Hu Wenhai out of the gate of the imperial capital airport.
"By the way, before you went home, I saw that you gave that Iverson a letter, who was that for?"
......
Outside the gate of the imperial capital airport, two PLA soldiers in military uniforms saw Lin Qianjun and Hu Wenhai come out, and hurriedly saluted, and then one opened the back door of the crown car next to him, and the other vigilantly jumped into the driver's seat of the crown and set the car on fire.
After such a "performance", Hu Wenhai didn't need to look at it to know that the passengers who were entering and leaving the airport around him looked at him and swished to put the words "children of senior cadres" on him.
With a wry smile, Hu Wenhai didn't expect that even if he returned to China, his freedom would still not be guaranteed. It is said that the first half is a genius, and a step ahead is a mental illness, and it seems that he is really self-defeating.
Of the billions of dollars in '84, 800 million of which are now lying on the accounts of the Air Force, is equivalent to 2.24 billion yuan. He still has more than 10 million of the remaining 200 million US dollars in his hand, even if it is just such a little foreign exchange, I still don't know how many people are eyeing it.
In this way, it seems that he has taken a step ahead, and although he himself does not need to become a "neurotic" for the time being, he has already stimulated many people to become "neurotic".
As soon as Hu Wenhai arrived in the imperial capital, he didn't even enter the imperial capital, so he was sent to a sanatorium in Miyun. The green mountains and green waters outside, the pavilions and pavilions inside, to be honest, the environment has absolutely nothing to say, it seems that eighty percent of the treatment is only enjoyed by provincial and ministerial leaders.
So Hu Wenhai, accompanied by Lin Qianjun, should eat and drink, and after a few days of more "leisurely" days than in the United States.
It wasn't until the last week of 1984 that a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in the small courtyard of the sanatorium where Hu Wenhai lived. Lin Qianjun introduced him as "Secretary Hu", but did not explain whose secretary he was.
But at least Secretary Hu brought good news - he could go home.
"Comrade Xiaohu, hey, you have made such a great contribution to the country, but you almost can't even celebrate New Year's Day, what a shame. โ
Hu Wenhai sat calmly on the chair, shook his head lightly and said: "I am a Chinese, of course, I hope that the country will be prosperous and national defense is strong, and it is the right thing to make some contributions within my ability." โ
"It's just that I want to know what the state is going to do with me?"
"Comrade Xiaohu, don't worry!" Secretary Huang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You may have heard some bad rumors, or you may have guessed and scared yourself, don't worry, a country as big as ours will not take advantage of you!"
Secretary Huang first gave Hu Wenhai a reassurance, and then after changing the conversation, he continued: "But you also know the situation in our country, reform and opening up use money everywhere, and the economic situation is not optimistic. Taking out more than 2 billion yuan at a time is probably unrealistic. So please Comrade Xiaohu, can you be considerate, I wonder if we can, uh, pay in installments?"
Hu Wenhai smiled, looking at Secretary Huang's appearance, it must have taken a lot of effort to come up with the idea of installment payment. In the 80s, there was no such term in China, I am afraid that we had to refer to foreign translations.
But there is a problem, as a person who has been reborn from the afterlife, who still doesn't know the saying: the one who owes the money is the uncle, and the creditor is the grandson. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've always seen Huang Hong's Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao.
This debtor has become a state, how many people are brave enough to arm the debt without paying it back?
Hu Wenhai immediately shook his head into a rattle, and said with a straight face: "What Secretary Huang said is not right! Since the country's economy is tight, how can I make trouble for the country again! We are not that kind of people!"
Secretary Huang almost burst into tears when he said this, look at what a good comrade Comrade Xiao Hu is, he really deserves to be a good seedling cultivated by an old revolutionary, how can this consciousness be as bad as said in the report, and it is not much lower than his father Hu Jiefang!
"That's not going to work, the money still has to be given. This is not just your business, although 2.2 billion is a bit much, it is always more than the face of the country. The individual people are in debt, and they still know how to smash the pot and sell iron to repay the money. If the state owes money, it is impossible to repay the debt!"
Yes, maybe the big leaders really don't want to pay their bills. But when the budget is made at the end of the year, money is needed here and money there, and it is estimated that Hu Wenhai's priority of this money will definitely be ranked behind I don't know how much.
When the big leaders remembered to ask the last question, the people below replied, "There is no extra money in the treasury", and most of them will die down.
At the end of the day, people who owe money are afraid of ruining their reputation if they don't pay it back. can be put in China, Hu Wenhai must also have this mouthpiece to speak out, so that he can have the capital to make people "afraid". Not to mention, in the 80s, when we cleaned up private enterprises several times, many people were scared to "donate" their enterprises to the government. Many unwilling "affiliated" business owners had to abscond with the money.
In 1988, Deng Shaoshen, the director of Wanbao Factory, who was once prosperous, was affiliated with Wanbao Electric Appliances under the Demon Capital Second Light System, and the city government saw that his factory was running well, so he gave him 24 loss-making enterprises. Then there was a conflict between the planning and business decisions and the competent authorities, and finally he had to "flee" to Canada, not only did Wanbao Electric not keep it, but he himself had to "flee" to Canada.
Then the good Wanbao electrical appliances are silent.
The tragedy of Wanbao was only the beginning, and a year later, 1989 was the year of the collapse of the private economy. Under the tide of cleaning up the private economy, Wang Tingjiang, Jiang Xipei, Li Shufu, and many celebrities in later generations simply "donated" their already started careers to the government. Wang Tingjiang was commended for this and became a well-known figure in the whole country, and he continued to call for an activity called "Learning from Comrade Wang Tingjiang."
What to learn is self-evident. It can be said that the entire social climate of the 80s was by no means suitable for the development of the private economy. However, under such harsh and harsh conditions, China's private economy has still grown.
The difference between Hu Wenhai and them is only that there is more money. But to say that this is the government's lack of discipline and blatant robbery of money? But it is not right, this is the 80s, an era in which public ownership is the absolute main body.
This is the way people think, and the mainstream voices in society are not sympathetic to these people who have lost their wealth, after all, this is an era that is struggling out of the planned economy and society!
Hu Wenhai does not want to challenge the rules of this society, on the contrary, he must learn to use them.
"Secretary Huang, look at me, I still can't burden the country!" Hu Wenhai said with a righteous face, and said with righteousness: "The country has no money, and I am robbing the mouth of all Chinese people with this money, do you say that I can bear this in my heart? Secretary Huang, you don't need to say, I absolutely can't ask for this money!"
"This can't be done, you have to ask for money, this is the decision of the head of the Central Committee!"
"I can't ask for it, if I want it, I'll be a national sinner!"
"It must be given, and if it is not given, what is the credibility of the country?"
......
"Then I'll do it!"
"Poofโ"
Hu Wenhai suddenly agreed, Secretary Huang was only slightly stunned, but Lin Qianjun, who was standing next to him, did not hold back......
"Ahem. Hu Wenhai quickly raised the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Since it is so important to collect this money or not, then I can't go to Xuegonggong and break the current rules for my own morality." However, since the country is in such a difficult situation now, I just have an idea and want to ask Secretary Huang to see if it is feasible. โ
"Comrade Xiaohu, just say that if there is anything I can't decide, I'll help you communicate with the chief. โ
"That's right, since the state doesn't have so much money, can it be offset in other ways? You see if I'm an individual, it's useless to ask for so much money. Even if I eat and drink heavily, no matter how much I spend it, I won't be able to spend all this money, right? I can only put it in the bank to eat interest, but it is a waste of national wealth. Therefore, I think it is better to invest in the country to develop productive forces and better improve the living standards of the people. โ
"Oh, tell me what you think. "Secretary Huang is really a bit surprised, it turns out that he only thought that Hu Wenhai was lucky enough to get such an amazing fortune. But now it seems that this kid has a lot of deep thoughts!
"We can do this, partly in cash, but also in terms of materials, factories and policies. For example, my father's 501 factory, a large factory with several thousand employees, has assets of more than 10 million yuan, right? Can the 501 factory allow me to personally become a shareholder? Can we let me hold the full share? Or can we also have two brands in one team, the establishment of the 501 factory remains unchanged, and I am willing to use money to help the 501 factory introduce advanced production lines, you should know that I still have hundreds of millions of dollars available in the United States, isn't this the best of both worlds?"
The more Hu Wenhai spoke, the more excited he became, he grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and drank a sip of water, seeing that Secretary Huang's expression was obviously a little moved, he hurriedly made persistent efforts and said: "In addition, the operation of the factory needs materials, right? The state may not have much money in its hands, but it is not difficult to prepare hundreds of millions of materials in the local area." What's more, the materials needed for production are not all at once, and it doesn't matter if you take your time, as long as the state approves us the planned quota of materials!"
"In addition to materials, there are many things that can be used to pay money, such as whether the wagon can be worth the money, whether the land can be worth the money, and even whether the household registration can be worth the money? Also, can the telecommunications network license be counted as money? Can the automobile production license be counted as money? Anyway, it is a thing that makes up the numbers, and the country can count more money with this kind of policy, I don't care!"
