Chapter 1: Rebirth
The hot summer is not a pleasant season for people in the Sichuan-Shu Basin. High temperature warnings are commonplace, with scorching heat, drought, and local water shortages occurring from time to time.
This year, it has not rained for more than a month, and the scorching heat is scorching the earth, and people's mood has become more and more manic with the weather. Maybe it's because it hasn't rained for too long, or maybe it's because people have too many grievances looking forward to it. At nine o'clock in the evening, the rainstorm struck, the sky was thunder and lightning, and the ground was also blowing a strong wind, as if the heavens were going to wash away the mania of the people for more than a month.
Ping'an Town is located in a small town under the jurisdiction of Guocheng City, Sichuan and Shu Province. On the fifth floor of a certain building, a young man stood quietly in front of the window, looking out at the dark sky accompanied by thunder and lightning from time to time, listening to the howling wind outside and the sound of raindrops hitting the window. It was so quiet at the moment, it seemed that nothing in this world could affect his mind.
Li Yu, a child who grew up in a mountain village, is 27 years old this year. I have lived in this world for 27 years, and when I was a child, I was left behind as a child, and my academic performance was also a mixed life, and then I graduated from college and did not achieve anything in my job.
Later, he became obsessed with online live broadcasting, and not only did he spend the money for work, but also lost his family's money. When he suddenly turned around, it was already too late, and he was overwhelmed by the accusations of his family and the self-blame in his heart.
Li Yu walked downstairs, he stood on the street, and let the rain fall on him, as if this would relieve the pain in his heart, and the lightning in the sky was still flickering.
On November 5, 1977, a teenager in Villa 16 Repulse Bay in Xiangjiang was staring at the figure in the mirror in a daze. The boy's name is Li Guangyu, he is sixteen years old this year, and he was born in a wealthy family.
At this moment, the teenager still couldn't calm down, even though a week had passed. The boy's body is still the same body, but the soul has been replaced by someone who has traveled through the twenty-first century.
Li Yu still couldn't understand that he only saw a bright light coming towards him at that time, how could he have arrived in Xiangjiang now. Yes, the soul of the young man in front of him has been replaced by Li Yu from the next generation, absorbing the memory of this body, and he has been in a coma for two days, and he was a little dumbfounded when he woke up.
Fortunately, no one noticed some of his abnormal behavior for the time being, and only thought that his normal behavior was caused by the loss of a loved one. Li Guangyu's grandfather came to Hong Kong during the Liberation War, and once participated in the warlord melee with Marshal Yang Sen, and later the War of Resistance against Japan with the Sichuan Army Corps out of Sichuan to resist Japan, survived the War of Resistance against Japan, and the civil war broke out again, so he took his son to Hong Kong to start his own career.
Li Guangyu's father studied at the School of Business and Management of Oxford University in 1956, returned to Hong Kong in 1960 to work in his father's garment factory, and married the He family at the end of the same year, taking He Zuozhi's daughter as his wife.
Perhaps it was the development of the Li family in the 60s that was too smooth, and the Li family was hit hard in the 70s. In 1971, Li Yingliang, the head of the Li family, died of illness, and in 1973, the stock market crisis occurred, and the Li family's economy fell into a shortage.
Now Li Guangyu is the only one left in the Li family, and under the unbearable blow, Li Yu, a person of later generations, took advantage of the void to occupy this body, and the two souls merged together without distinguishing each other.
"Young master, it's time for breakfast. Mama He called. He's mother's name is Wang He Yunfang, a maid brought over by Li Guangyu's mother, and is now in charge of the Li family's kitchen.
At the same time, there is also a housekeeper Wu Wen, who was brought by his grandfather when he came from the mainland, and he has been following his grandfather since the Anti-Japanese War. There is also a driver who is Uncle Wang Lei, He's mother's husband. In addition, there are four hires who are responsible for the cleaning of the villa and the pruning of flowers and plants.
When I went downstairs, the dining room table was already equipped with breakfast, a bowl of nutritious porridge, a basket of steamed buns, and two fritters, which were very characteristic of Sichuan and Shu. This is since Li Guangyu's grandfather came to Hong Kong, the Li family's diet is basically Sichuan and Shu cuisine, and Li Guangyu is also used to eating Sichuan cuisine.
"Young master, the shares of the lord and the lady have been transferred to your name. Wu Wendao.
"Grandpa Wu, tell me what shares are there now, and what other industries are in the family. ”
"Young master, at present, the family has all the shares of the Taiping Garment Factory worth 120 million, and the other is 15% of the shares of Jiayi TV Station left by his wife, worth 20 million yuan, and 10% of the shares of Industrial and Commercial Daily are worth 8 million. In addition, you have more than 15 million funds in your HSBC bank account. ”
"How about the cost of the family. ”
"Young Master, Xiao Wang and I each have a salary of one thousand, and the other four employ seven hundred per month. ”
"I know, Grandpa Wu, what it was like when my father was there in the past, and I still come like that. In addition, inform Uncle Wang to prepare a car, and I will go to my grandfather's house. ”
"Young master, the car is ready. ”
"Okay, tell Mama He, you don't need to prepare lunch for me, I'll eat at my grandfather's house at noon. ”
The Li family's car was a Mercedes-Benz sedan, and after Li Guangyu got into the car, the car headed towards the top of the Taiping Peak of He Zuozhi's mansion. Speaking of the people who live here on the top of Taiping Mountain, they are either rich or expensive, and it has always been the place where the top people in Xiangjiang live, and although Li Guangyu's grandfather was not born very well, he was recognized by the He family by his own efforts, and he also entered the upper class of Xiangjiang society, and settled his home in a mansion on the side of Baijia Road on the top of Taiping Mountain.
Half an hour later, they arrived at He Zuozhi's house, and the housekeeper of He Mansion led Li Guangyu to He Zuozhi's study.
"Master, Young Master Guangyu is here. ”
"Let him in. ”
"Young Master Guangyu, go in. ”
"Thank you, Grandpa He. ”
"Grandpa, I'm here. ”
"It's been okay for the past two days. ”
"Grandpa, I'm fine. ”
"Your Li family is the only one left with you, now your parents are gone, Taiping Garment Factory must be people's hearts, although you are only sixteen years old, but you must now take your due responsibility, now you don't understand, just learn." ”
"Grandpa, although the factory is wholly owned by the Li family, the management of the factory is all old people who follow my grandfather and father, I am still young, I don't know if I can manage them. ”
"You remember that you are now the chairman of the garment factory, and you don't know how to rely on them now, but you have to grasp the finances and personnel of the factory. You remember, you not only represent the Li family, you are also my He Zuozhi's grandson, my He family is not just a few people dare to pit, I will accompany you to your factory in the afternoon. ”
"Okay, grandpa, in addition, I want to take a break from school to spend my time in the factory to learn how to manage the family's business, and as for studying, I want to hire a private tutor, so that my time is more free. ”
"Yes, you can control this matter yourself, I hope you can support your Li family. Your grandfather is also a hero, but unfortunately he was harmed by the war and fell ill, and your grandmother died in the war. Now that your grandfather died of illness before he reached sixty, he originally hoped that your father would carry forward the Li family, and he could not fulfill people's wishes. ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will study hard to make the Li family and the He family go to the next level in Xiangjiang. ”
"It's a good thing that you have this ambition, but the road has to be taken step by step, the mall is not like your school, there is a crisis step by step, what you have to do now is to integrate in and listen more, watch more, and learn more. ”
