Ma Weiguo is walking up the stone steps of Shuzhuang Garden step by step......

In March, Gulangyu Island is full of pleasant climate and fragrant flowers, and the hundred-year-old oak trees are lush and spread in the cool sea breeze. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Such a beautiful season is also the best time for senior tourists to visit, there are no tourists on holidays, there is no hot and humid air, there is no typhoon that destroys everything, and some are just spring breezes, comfortable and comfortable.

However, this kind of season is not something that everyone can afford, and the law of balance between money and time makes March in Gulangyu only reserved for a very small number of people.

However, Ma Weiguo is not only a very small number of people, no matter how busy he is every month, even if he travels thousands of miles, he has to land on the island for a few days.

He is like a pious pilgrim, and no obstacle can stop him from returning to this unique island, so to speak, even during the typhoon season when tourists suddenly flash away.

In the impression of his favorite minister, Director Liu Kai, he has been like this since he followed Lao Ma to fight the world ten years ago.

With the continuous expansion of Lao Ma's business empire, Lao Ma's iron hooves have set foot on one-third of the world's territory, but no matter how busy he is, he will definitely leave at the point, and the goal must be this beautiful island in Xiamen.

At first, Director Liu thought that there must be a woman who Lao Ma was nostalgic for, but later as he and Lao Ma continued to get closer, he realized how superficial he was and how he didn't understand his commander.

Just like this time, when they were in New York, when they were negotiating with a well-known financial institution on Wall Street, Lao Ma suddenly remembered something nervously, and immediately turned his head and asked Director Liu to arrange a special plane to return to China at night.

Without this ability to observe words and looks, speculate on scheming, and record leadership habits at any time, how could Director Liu sit in the position of director of the office of the Yang Yang Group Company, and through the run-in of the past ten years, the relationship between him and Lao Ma is closer than that of a personal secretary, more than a buddy, and one step worse than a relative.

This sudden move by Lao Ma confused Vincent Sr., the president of this financial institution, thinking that there was something wrong with the negotiations.

"This ...... Mr. Ma, what the hell is going on? "Old Vincent and the second monk are confused, the negotiations have been going well, and it seems that there will be results today.

The old horse smiled faintly, patted Old Vincent on the shoulder, and said in Chinese very Chinese and witty: "Dude, calm down!" The old horse spits on a nail with a smear! ”

Lao Ma's English is actually very good, Lao Ma's great-grandfather already has a brilliant background in foreign countries, and has served as a senior position in the Beiyang department, but this sentence is more Chinese masculine in Chinese, and he is sure that Old China Tong Vincent must also understand the meaning.

In the financial market, having money is capricious, not to mention that in this era of the "two houses" plummeting, old Vincent knows that he is asking for others, and this so-called negotiation is also extremely passive.

On Wall Street now, whoever catches a big Chinese boss will grab a life-saving straw!

I saw old Vincent pout, shrug his shoulders, and reluctantly said, "OK, OK." ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, the old Vincent who has experienced the ups and downs of the market has already felt that the "subprime mortgage" crisis is just a prelude to the storm, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, at this time do not cleverly grasp the root of the life-saving straw in advance, and when the real crisis comes, everything will be hopeless, not to mention that this old Mr. Ma is not an ordinary Chinese boss, he is a hot "red-top businessman", this is the old Vincent who has dealt with the Chinese for many years knows it all too well.

The old horse was a little sweaty and out of breath, which he didn't do before!

These stone steps, which have been polished by the years, are like a part of one's own body, and they can always be easily controlled, and there is no need to be associated with the word "effortless".

The old horse was thinking wildly, and a unique smell wafted by, which was a smell of grass and flowers mixed with dew and sunshine, gentle and sweet like an intoxicating dream.

This breath wafted in the slight sea breeze of spring, familiar and distant, and it made the old horse's chaotic thoughts instantly return to the haunting and lingering youth.

"Xiaoya...... Xiao Ya ......" the old horse muttered involuntarily.

Yes, the girl with that familiar and unique aura was running past him.

"Xiaoya...... Xiao Ya ...... "The old horse instinctively wanted to grab the girl's hand.

This breath that has been integrated into the depths of the soul is the confidence of the passionate driving car through the mountains and rivers, and the last trace of tenderness hidden in the heart when pointing out the country......

But the old horse only grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"What are you doing??" The girl looked at the old horse who was a little out of shape, blushed in panic, and tried her best to break free from the old horse's hand!

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person!"

"I'm sorry, Miss, I'm really sorry!" The old horse apologized again and again.

"What do you want to do?!" A young boy flashed in front of the old horse's eyes, and he gritted his teeth angrily as he grabbed the old horse's coat and looked at him angrily!

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I recognized the wrong person, sorry sorry!!" As he spoke, Lao Ma saw Liu Kai waving his hand not far away and signaling something to the bodyguard, and Lao Ma hurriedly glanced at Liu Kai with a look that was not easy for outsiders to detect.

"Forget it, I don't think he intended it, maybe it's the old eyes that are dizzy, let's go!" The girl took the boy's hand and walked into the distance, and the boy looked back with some indignation.

The old horse's heart was cold, is he really old?

Are you really old and dizzy?

The media once compared himself to the fourth troika of China's financial industry, although he is the oldest of the four troikas, he can not lose to the troika by himself!

But why today?

The old horse wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, not wanting to dwell on this question any longer, he stabilized his mind and went to the highest place in the Shuzhuang Garden......

The waves of the sea roll up and down, you can see the most beautiful sea level at any angle in Shuzhuang Garden, just stand at the highest place to experience what is "a glance at the mountains", the sea and the sky are included in your heart, what kind of mind does this have?

"Grandpa, is this world very big?"

"Yes, the world is big, big!"

"Then when I grow up, I must be a traveler like Xu Xiake and see this big, big world!"

"You have such perseverance, grandpa will definitely support you! But child, it is better to measure the world with your feet than with your heart! ”

The young Ma Weiguo once stood here, looking up at the strong-willed man he admired the most, although his cheeks had sunken and his hair had turned gray, but this did not make people feel that he was old at all, but had all the definitions of a warrior by Little Ma Weiguo.

Looking up at him in the setting sun is like looking up at a statue magically painted golden by the sun, this statue echoes the statue of Zheng Chenggong, exuding an incomparably determined brilliance.

The old horse took a deep breath and looked down at the sea in front of him, sometimes letting himself think a lot, sometimes letting himself not be alarmed.

When he grew up, the old horse really measured the countless beaches and beautiful scenery of the world with his feet, but none of them was his destination, except here.

Ma Weiguo's hometown is not Xiamen, several generations are authentic Alabahai people, but since the ancestors built the old house here, the men of the Ma family have fallen in love with this place, they spend a lot of time living on this small island, whether it is self-cultivation or self-satisfaction, anyway, Ma Weiguo feels that the best time of his life is spent here.

He misses this place, this is not his hometown but has the strongest nostalgia.

No matter where he goes in the world, he can't stop him from returning here.

Now that no one in the Ma family lives in the old mansion except him, and if he doesn't come back every month, then he doesn't have any thoughts about his past life.

This is what Ma Weiguo is most unwilling to see, the past is his root, what is the difference between duckweed and duckweed without roots?

He hopes that in the future, his children will enjoy it too, and that the children will come back if he stays in the old house, and if even he abandons the old house, then the children will be even more far away from here.

"Grandpa, were you scared when you first hit the devil?"

The warrior-like old man looked lovingly at the little Ma Weiguo in the golden light of the setting sun.

"If grandpa tells you not to be afraid, it's grandpa lying. Before I went to the battlefield, my instructor gave me a sentence, which has been grinding me in my heart, and later when I thought of it, my grandfather was not afraid! ”

"How amazing is this sentence? What's that, grandpa? ”

"Defeat yourself! You are your worst enemy! The old man said in a sonorous voice, his face resolute.

"Defeat yourself! You are your worst enemy! Little Ma Weiguo repeated, he felt the magic of this sentence.

"When your father went to war, Grandpa had nothing to give him, the only thing he gave him was this sentence!"

"Dad, Dad must be the bravest man too!"

"Yes, your dad is also the bravest man!"

The old man took Ma Weiguo's hand, and the grandfather and grandson looked at the magnificent sea level outlined by the setting sun together.

"Grandpa, can you give me this sentence too?"

"Of course, of course Grandpa wants to give it to you, you are already a little man!"

"Defeat yourself! You are your worst enemy! This sentence from the warrior has been haunting the old horse's heart for many years, and this sentence makes the old horse look up in addition to his childhood, and only like to look down when he is an adult, and the sea can be seen clearly......
