Leaving a commercial bureau, he drove into the city government compound, and stopped in front of Building No. 1, where he didn't know how many times he had been back and forth, so familiar as if it was his own home, closed the car door, and walked in, "Hey, stop!" ”

There was a sudden angry shout behind him, and Lu Li turned around in astonishment, it was two men, both dressed in national defense green uniforms, with the cockades on their heads and the epaulettes on their shoulders bright red; The two men stopped him, sped up to the bottom of the steps, and looked up at him, "Who are you?" Break in without asking? Do you know whose house this is? ”

Lu Li blinked, he roughly guessed the identities of these two people, "I know, it's Secretary Li's family." ”

"You know, you know you're going inside? What's your name? Where do you work and where do you live? ”

"My name is Lu Li, I don't have a job, I live in Tianjin."

The two soldiers glared at the same time, obviously knowing him, "You are Luli?" The older one laughed, jumped up the steps, and stretched out his hand to him: "Li Zhengdong." Hello. ”

"Hello." Lu Li shook hands with him, "You are Brother Rong's eldest brother, right?" I've heard him talk to me about you a few times, but I've never had a chance to see you. This one...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so stunned. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to know it's you." Li Zhengdong smiled and introduced him, "The second child in our family is tall and noble." Zhenggao, what are you standing there for? ”

Li Zheng glanced at Lu Li, jumped up in the same step, stood beside his brother, and shook hands with him, "One of us is from Sichuan Province and the other is from the capital; I have been a soldier for several years, and I have started a family over there, and I haven't come back to see my father and them for a long time, and then I learned that he was transferred here, and I was afraid that he was too busy with work, so I didn't dare to bother more, until recently, I asked for leave to come back. ”

Lu Li nodded and said with admiration: "Yes, I heard Brother Rong talk about you. ”

Li Zhenggao suddenly asked, "I heard my brother's letter saying that you are quite capable of fighting, right?" It seems that even the iron beam made you fight? ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly, this guy was born with a strong force, he spoke straightforwardly, he looked at it like he was so good-tempered, and he wanted to fight with Wei Tieliang, "Actually, no, it's far away, and Tieliang is not fighting, in terms of fighting, I am not his opponent at all, fortunately, my body is flexible, so he can't fight." ”

"You pull it down, I practiced with Tie Liang at the beginning, his two strokes are not ambiguous, he can't beat you, why don't I try?" Li Zhenggao spoke a little confused, often with a kick in the sky and a kick on the ground, Lu Li was the first time he came into contact with such a person, and couldn't help laughing, "No, no, it's really not good, besides, I haven't practiced for a long time, and my movements are raw." ”

Li Zhenggao had an unrelenting attitude, but fortunately, at this time, Li Ting came downstairs and rescued him, "Uncle (Dad)." ”

Li Ting saw Lu Li at a glance, and raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Lu is here?" What was the fuss just now, why is it so messy? ”

"It's okay, talk to Xiao Lu."

"You've seen it all, haven't you?" Li Ting asked with a smile, "That, Xiao Lu, this time around, does it mean that the affairs in the south have been done?" ”

"Sort of, there are still some problems, but they don't have much to do with me anymore."

Li Ting could hear the unfinished meaning of his words, and nodded with his two sons, "Okay, what should you two do, let's go, I'll say a few words to Xiao Lu." ”

Er Li was stunned, they knew about Lu Li from some sporadic channels, and they also knew a little about him, but they didn't know anything about him; Li Zhengdong is the eldest son, who joined the army in Sichuan Province and rarely met his father; Li Zhenggao is in the capital, and there are more opportunities to meet Li Ting, but he is a little naïve, Li Ting occasionally goes to Beijing, and when father and son meet, they also talk about some homely words about good weather hahaha. Therefore, when I saw Lu Li this time, I wanted to talk more to this guy who had heard of his name for a long time, and I didn't want my father to give an eviction order like this? The two were silent for a moment, then got up and went out.

Seeing his two sons walking away, Li Ting also stood up, "Xiao Lu, go out for a walk with me?" ”

"Okay." Luli knew that he had something to say to himself, which naturally he couldn't miss, and followed him into the shaded depths of the city government compound.

Lu Li is no stranger to the Li family, but he feels very novel about the compound itself, and Li Ting only found that the construction area here is quite large, with a radius of several square kilometers! I don't know how long I walked behind the old man, there is a lake in front of me, the sun is bright in September, there are some plantains, gladiolus and other plants planted by the lake, and on the side of the lake, there is a large expanse of grass, and the scenery is really not bad.

Li straightened his back, walked a few steps along the grass, and sat down at a stone table, "The chairman called me. ”

He began to communicate with such words, which Luli did not expect, and hesitated for a moment to realize who he was talking about, "Oh. ”

"The old man and I have been talking for a long time, and after listening to Comrade Chao Dong's report, the old man has made important instructions, believing that under the current environment and external conditions, it is very worthwhile for a comrade with party membership to achieve such achievements in Hong Kong...... Something for sure. More importantly, through you, you can make many people, many Hong Kong people, especially Hong Kong businessmen, realize that we also allow and welcome party members to do business. ”

"I understand that party members are allowed and welcomed, not to mention people outside the party."

Li Ting smiled kindly and nodded slightly, it's really easy to talk to a smart person! "So, the purpose of his call to me is to tell me that he wants you to do a little bit bigger in Hong Kong, and more importantly, let more people know your name; At the same time, you also need to be able to socialize more with Hong Kong businessmen, do you understand? ”

"I understand, do you want to let more people know about the situation in our country through my ......, and at the same time let more people take the initiative to return to China and devote more of their energy to the development of the motherland?"

Li Ting didn't say anything this time, and said in response to the question: "On Pengcheng's side, I will try my best to provide you with some necessary help, although it's not 100, it's also 80, right?" ”

Luley laughed, "I see. Actually, I thought about it at the beginning, and I promised my aunt that I would go home around October '83; Of course, it does not mean that the business here will be ignored, but more energy will be put into domestic construction, which will focus on our Pengcheng and Guangdong provinces. ”

"That is, two more years?"

"Yes."

Li Ting nodded, and suddenly asked with a little curiosity: "Xiao Lu, although you are a party member, you are also a businessman, tell me, if you want to come back to build Pengcheng, how do you plan to build it?" ”

"The first is to build roads. To build a highway from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, to build the most famous and highest-level highway in the country - I always believe that road construction is a bottleneck related to the rapid development of a region and even a country. Think about it, with a smooth highway, things from afar can be transported in a steady stream, and our own things can also be transported out day and night; This coming and going has led to a lot of business opportunities! ”

"How?"

"Do you think, the driver drives a car from here to Yangcheng, the road takes about five or six hours, and it will be seven o'clock in the morning, and when you arrive in Yangcheng, it will be one or two o'clock, and you have to eat on the way, right? You have to spend money on food, right? This naturally led to the development of the surrounding area; In a word, as long as these people have money in their hands, the next business behavior will appear on their own. When the time comes, all you have to do as the mayor of a city is to wait and count the money. ”

Li Ting laughed, didn't catch his breath, and coughed violently, "You little guy!" Are you taking me for a capitalist? ”

Luley laughed and said, "Of course, it's a joke of mine, but there is a part of it that is not. When the person who does this kind of business makes money in his hands, the rest of the business behavior is not taken care of by others. They know exactly what they need. What's more, they know very well how happy this kind of life is to have money in their hands, eat what they want, wear what they want, and wear what they want! Therefore, it will inevitably become a kind of normalization. ”

"What about ...... and after?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, you think, what about after people have money in their hands? What will they do? ”

"Well," said Lu Li with a childish blush, and said in a small voice, "Uncle, my little knowledge is not worth mentioning at all; Don't be surprised. ”

"No, no, you say, you say."

"Take me as an example. I made a lot of money, and at the beginning, I just wanted my aunt and their family to live well, eat what they wanted, buy what they wanted, but this kind of thing can't cost a lot of money. More importantly, this purely material enjoyment has its limitations. If a person can eat again, he will only have three meals a day, and even if he is hungry before going to bed at night, he will only have four meals. What about other than that? What about after this material need has been thoroughly satisfied? I think it's a spiritual pursuit. And this pursuit is endless! I was doing business at home, and then I was going to take my aunt to the capital to see, but in fact, I didn't necessarily want to go to the capital, and I thought that all such pursuits were spiritual. Look at the magnificent scenery that you have never appreciated, and enjoy the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland - in fact, if you look at it materially, this kind of action itself is very hard, climbing the mountain requires physical strength, and excursion also requires working your legs, which is not necessarily a burden on a person's body; But in addition to physiological, it's more about psychological satisfaction, don't you say? ”

"Well, that's right. I think it's a dialectical way of thinking. Li Ting smiled and lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Oh, you go on, you go on." ”

"When I say this to you, I am by no means boasting to you about how rich I am, but in another situation: have you ever thought that for some Hong Kong people, especially Hong Kong businessmen, they live in Hong Kong, which is less than 30 miles away from Pengcheng, where it has become a British colony since 1842, and it has been more than 100 years today. All of them have a heart that misses and loves the motherland! ”

Li Ting was shocked, "Well, that makes sense, you go on?" ”

"So I sometimes think, our national policy of China's reform and opening up is really insightful! In particular, using Pengcheng as a window to open the door to the world is an unprecedented initiative. Of course, looking at it now, many Hong Kong people still have a wait-and-see attitude, and businessmen are particularly bold at some times, and in order to make money, they dare to do any head-killing business......"

Li Ting was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing! "Hahahaha! Well said, well said! ”

Lu Li laughed a few times and continued: "But sometimes, their courage is very small, and when there is a little wind and grass, they are so frightened that they hide from people like cats and mice. Moreover, this ...... Panic will cause them a particularly serious psychological impact, and they will not be able to recover for a long time, so it has caused the current development of Pengcheng to be on the agenda at all. ”

Li Ting was a little dazed when he said to him, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Lu Li didn't dare to express his heart for some reasons! The so-called panic is naturally caused by political reasons; And the various struggles that have taken place since the founding of the People's Republic of China are also the source of them! "Uh-huh, I see what you mean, what else?"

"I think, we Pengcheng can invite some Hong Kong businessmen to return to China, first take a walk, take a look, as for any specific development, you can leave it to the next step - you don't have anyone to come now, even if someone comes, it's also scared, what else can you say about building a good city?"

"I understand what you mean, but ...... Right now, we really don't have anything in Pengcheng to show others!? Li Ting said with a wry smile: "It's like a treat, it's not good for you to invite people to your home, and you don't even prepare a cup of tea, right?" ”

Luley laughed! gave Li Ting a thumbs up, "Uncle, this metaphor is too appropriate!" ”

Li Ting smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's be serious." ”

"Seriously, to be honest, I don't know much, but what you said is very reasonable, at the moment our family is poor, it is not good to invite guests to sit, but this may as well be seen as a way to get closer to each other. For many Hong Kong people, it is well known that our side is backward in development, so if we invite them over and invite them to walk around and have a look, can we also take this opportunity to ask them to invest? ”

"How's that going to work? Isn't this wagging its tail and begging for mercy from the bourgeoisie? It doesn't work, I don't agree! ”

"Uncle, this is by no means a tail wagging and begging, in fact, I think this is a cooperation between the two sides to use our respective advantages."

"Nonsense, what advantages do we have that people need?"

"You still don't understand this, we have more than 9 million square kilometers of land in China and more than 800 million people! Taking out these two data, which country in the world can compare? Not to mention a small place like Hong Kong! What's more, the people on our side are cheap! ”

Li Ting was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with some vigilance, "What...... Cheap? ”

"Labor is cheap. Do you know how much I pay local employees when I open a hot pot restaurant in Hong Kong? If converted into RMB, it is about more than 1,400 yuan! How many people can I hire in the country for the same price? Based on a person's salary of 70 yuan, it is 20 people! Think about it, if this advantage can be used, Hong Kong people will have to break the dog's head! ”

Li Ting chuckled, "You mean ......?" ”

"I mean, as long as we can provide them with a safe and stable environment, and that environment can ensure that it doesn't change, the people of Hong Kong, especially the businessmen of Hong Kong, after the initial wait-and-see, will start to take the initial test until they are sure to be fine, then, uncle, I can assure you that more and more people will come to the mainland with a lot of money and technology – what is there in Hong Kong that can make a big difference? In addition to the high labor cost, the land area is only a little bit, do a small business, you can also provide food and clothing for the family, if you want to make a lot of money, make a fortune, you have to come to the mainland! As long as this climate is formed, uncle, Pengcheng City, as our first window of China's reform and opening up, will have earth-shaking changes! ”

“…… At that time, uncle, as the leader of the first municipal government team of Pengcheng City, you will leave your name in history and be admired by the people, which is as easy as a snap! ”

Li Ting opened his eyes, and intuitively felt that his limbs were numb and crispy, and he actually gave birth to goosebumps all over his body! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
