Chapter 189: Out of the Mountain
When Ren Pingsheng and Shi Xiaolian walked into the border squadron of Mengla Town, Peng Gang was ready to leave the army.
His barracks were neatly packed as usual, the quilt was folded into square tofu blocks as usual, and his luggage was packed and put aside.
Peng Gang's military uniform has been taken off, and he is placed in the center of the bed in a regular manner, he is dressed in casual clothes, and he still looks capable and strong, but his face has lost the confidence and sharpness of the military uniform.
Seeing Shi Xiaolian, Peng Gang's face flushed with joy, and then dimmed again.
"Little mercy...... Hello. ”
may be thinking of his own situation, this Qilu man who was a little nervous in front of Shi Xiaolian in the past has become more cautious now.
"Brother Peng, I'll come to see you. ”
Shi Xiaolian greeted gently, and she introduced Ren Pingsheng very carefully.
"This is my college classmate Ren Pingsheng, who cares about our school and gives a lot of books and stationery to the children. ”
"Hello, I'm glad to see you. ”
Although Peng Gang was in a bad mood, he still greeted him with the enthusiasm of a Qilu man.
"Hello, Team Peng. ”
Ren Pingsheng shook hands with him, Peng Gang's handshake was very strong, but his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Hey, don't call it that, I'm already out of active duty. ”
Peng Gang talked about his experience very frankly, not at all like some people, who complained and gave up on themselves after losing their official positions and demoting.
Peng Gang beckoned the two to sit down, picked up the kettle and teacups and was busy pouring water for them, although it was the first time they met, the first impression he left on Ren Pingsheng was very good.
This man is straightforward, capable, not mother-in-law, not twisted, even if he has been treated unfairly, but still maintains a good spirit, although this kind of person cannot become a commander, but he is a good general.
Taking advantage of the gap between Peng Gang and Shi Xiaolian's conversation, Ren Pingsheng observed the surroundings, and he noticed that under the glass cover on the table, there were many photos pressed, judging from the fading degree of the photos, it had been a while.
In a photo, Peng Gang protected his left fist in front of his chest, kicked up diagonally with his right foot upward, and posed a very standard Sanda side kick.
In another photo, Peng Gang is wearing a Sanda vest and helmet, one hand is raised in the air by a middle-aged man who looks like a referee, and the banner behind him reads "The First Flying Dragon Cup Army Sanda Tournament." At that time, Peng Gang was full of smiles, full of ambition and high spirits.
Several other photos are similar, all of them are photos left by Peng Gang during training and participating in competitions, and Peng Gang in the photo is 4-5 years younger than now, which should have happened before he came to the border squadron in Mengwax Town.
"Oops, how did I forget to pack this. ”
Peng Gang saw Ren Pingsheng looking at the table, and patted his head.
"Brother Peng, it turns out that you are a sanda champion, very powerful. ”
Ren Pingsheng smiled and pointed to the photo.
Peng Gang showed an embarrassed look on his face, he scratched his head and said:
"Hey, that was a few years ago, when I just enlisted in the army, I was in good health, and I was in a panic, so I was dragged to train sanda and studied a little haphazardly. ”
Although Peng Gang said it modestly, Ren Pingsheng could see that his attainments in sanda were by no means as simple as casual play.
"Brother Peng, don't be modest, the last time the army performed the boxing technique, the leaders of the city detachment said that it was good, and they also said that you were the champion of the all-army sanda competition, and your strength is equivalent to the national sanda nine-dan, which is very powerful. ”
Shi Xiaolian also added at this time.
"Hehe, that's all in the past, why mention him. ”
Peng Gang was so praised by Shi Xiaolian, he was as happy as a flower in his heart.
What he was happy about was not that Shi Xiaolian praised him, but that Shi Xiaolian remembered his things in such detail.
Ren Pingsheng listened to it with relish, Peng Gang did have two brushes, this kind of talent is indeed condescending in such a remote place, and the local troops are still in a hurry to drive him away, this is really not knowing how to identify talents, not knowing how to use talents.
He already had an idea in his heart, but he asked as if he were inadvertent:
"Brother Peng, what are your plans after you leave the army?"
Ren Pingsheng's words made the little joy that Peng Gang had just shown fade again, and a shadow climbed on his face, and he said helplessly:
"It's hard for me to get a job when I change jobs, so I'm going to choose my own job. ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded and continued to ask:
"Do you have a vision of what kind of industry you want to pursue?"
Peng Gang's two sword eyebrows furrowed, obviously this question stumped him, and he hesitated for a while before he spoke:
"I can drive, I can also repair cars, first go to the auto repair shop or something like that, it's really not good, it's a big deal to go back to my hometown to farm, my hometown Shouguang is a well-known vegetable town in the country, and there is a large field at home for people to plant, no matter what, I have hands and feet, I won't starve to death." ”
Shi Xiaolian had been looking at Peng Gang with worried eyes just now, and then she interjected:
"Brother Peng, my classmate is now running a company in Hanhai, why don't you let him introduce you to a job? ”
As soon as Ren Pingsheng entered the door, Peng Gang saw that this young man had an extraordinary bearing, although Shi Xiaolian did not talk about Ren Pingsheng's career, but with Peng Gang's many years of experience in the army, he could smell the smell of the superior in this young man, and although he was young, his speech and demeanor carried the sophistication of adults and the city government, which made Peng Gang dare not underestimate him.
Shi Xiaolian's proposal was in Ren Pingsheng's arms, but he was not in a hurry to say it, just looked at Peng Gang with a smile.
"This, my cultural level is not high, in addition to leading soldiers and training, I only know a little kung fu, I'm afraid there is no job suitable for me, right?"
Peng Gang replied a little embarrassed, but it could be seen from his eyes that he really needed a job.
He is 27 years old, he is still young, but he is not too young, repairing cars and planting vegetables, to be honest, is just a last resort, at this age, he still hopes to have a decent job, can gain a foothold in society, and can start a family.
Ren Pingsheng finally spoke, and he said slowly:
"I really have a job, which is very suitable for Brother Peng, and can also allow Brother Peng to give full play to his strengths, and the income level is also good. ”
The more Peng Gang listened, the more attentive he became, and his eyes gradually lit up.
Of course, Shi Xiaolian was even happier, she hugged Ren Pingsheng's arm and shook it, and said eagerly:
"Okay, okay, you can introduce this job to Brother Peng, he is really great, and he will definitely do a good job. ”
Ren Pingsheng looked at the expectant eyes of the two, he didn't say the answer directly, but turned to Peng Gang and asked:
"Brother Peng, do you know anything about MMA?"
Peng Gang's brows furrowed, and he replied:
"You're talking about mixed martial arts, which is a competitive combat sport with very open rules, which includes boxing, wrestling, karate, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc. ”
He thought for a moment, and then said:
"Actually, in addition to the lack of ground grappling skills, the combat on the ground is what MMA is all about. ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded, very satisfied with Peng Gang's answer, he added:
"MMA is now the second competitive combat sport in the world after boxing, and the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) founded by the United States has developed into the world's largest MMA competition, and the competition is broadcast every season on TV stations in 145 countries around the world. ”
Ren Pingsheng paused and said in an accentuated tone:
"In addition, the UFC has developed a professional model, MMA fighters can be rewarded handsomely through professional competitions, and the best of them can become international superstars and develop into the field of film and television, although the sport started late in China, but has a lot of potential for development. ”
Peng Gang vaguely felt Ren Pingsheng's train of thought this time, and he asked tentatively:
"What do you mean?"
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said:
"I plan to set up an MMA club in Hanhai City, recruit a group of fighters to train in mixed martial arts, train them to participate in various martial arts competitions, and build the first batch of professional fighters in China to land in the UFC. ”
"I need a manager and a manager for this club and I want you to help me. ”
Peng Gang showed a look of eagerness on his face, but Ren Pingsheng's plan and treatment were so good that he couldn't believe it and hesitated:
"My profession is sanda, and I only know a little about MMA, so I don't think I'm a professional MMA......"
Ren Pingsheng took the initiative to reach out and said with a smile:
"Didn't you say that sanda is the foundation of MMA, and I believe that the national champion can help me lead the team. ”
Although Shi Xiaolian didn't understand what MMA and UFC were, she was very happy to see Peng Gang accept the job, and she also cheered on the sidelines:
"Brother Peng, you can do it, you can do it, just agree. ”
Peng Gang looked at Shi Xiaolian, the joy in her eyes was something Peng Gang couldn't refuse, he nodded, and shook Ren Pingsheng heavily.
The two men shook hands vigorously and smiled as if they had won a battle.
After letting go of Ren Pingsheng's hand, Peng Gang continued:
"Boss Ren, when will I start working. ”
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said:
"Now. ”
"What?"
Looking at Peng Gang and Shi Xiaolian's puzzled expressions, Ren Pingsheng brought out his overall plan.
Ren Pingsheng's MMA fight club plan is not a momentary hot-headedness, but a result of what he has seen and felt in Mengla these days.
In Ren Pingsheng's view, most of these children in the mountains, whether they are Xiaoyanpo or other Tai children, will not be able to successfully complete their studies, and most of them will be induced by bad people to embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, and the rest will also be harmed by drugs and other narcotics and become wastes for the rest of their lives.
The situation of these children cannot be improved by simple volunteer teaching and charity activities, forcing them to study and study is not effective, and it is difficult for them to change their fate through studying.
When Ren Pingsheng saw Peng Gang's sanda championship experience, he quickly connected combat sports with these children in his head.
These adolescents are lively, active, and aggressive, and their energy needs a certain channel to vent, and combat sports are the best way to solve the current situation of these children by not only conforming to the children's nature, but also cultivating their qualities of fortitude, courage and progress.
Ren Pingsheng knows very well that with the development of social economy, combat sports will get more people to participate in, and a stable business model will be formed.
And Ren Pingsheng will have a big career development in the future, maybe he will introduce UFC and professional mode into China, these children will be his seed fighters in the future, and if he sows the seeds in advance, he will harvest sooner or later.
After listening to Ren Pingsheng's explanation, Peng Shi and the others suddenly realized that the career provided by Ren Pingsheng was not just to set up a suitable job for Peng Gang, but also to include such a grand and far-reaching motive.
And Ren Pingsheng's plan to train martial arts children, although unheard of and far from the public's understanding, can be seen from the analysis in his mouth, it sounds very reasonable.
Shi Xiaolian still had some worries, and she said worriedly:
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to let these kids practice fighting, if something happens, I'm afraid it's not good. ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded and comforted:
"MMA is a very standardized sport, and the fighters are all wearing protective gear, and I will hire the most professional training and medical team to cooperate with Brother Peng's work, you can rest assured. ”
He looked at Peng Gang and continued:
"Brother Peng, you stay here during this time, help me choose good sports seedlings, to select from the Thai children, give priority to orphans whose parents are dead, and left-behind children whose parents go out, we must communicate with the local government, sign a formal agreement with the legal guardian, everything must follow the normal way, cooperate with the government, and spend the money that should be spent, and the most important thing is to do things well. ”
Ren Pingsheng was so thoughtful and gave instructions in such detail, which completely dispelled the concerns of Peng Shi and the others.
Peng Gang nodded frequently as he listened, and his face returned to its previous confidence.
The appearance of Ren Pingsheng not only changed the fate of Peng Gang, but also changed the fate of these children in the mountains.
It's just that their future is infinitely bright or bumpy.
Even Ren Pingsheng didn't dare to make up his mind.
But Ren Pingsheng's habit is: keep the controversy and say it again.
It all starts with getting out of the mountains.
