701 Atonement
Let's take our eyes back from the distant South America back to China, in the chairman's office of Hanhua Heavy Industry in Xunyang City, there is a special guest today, he is Jin Jianbo, who once served as the deputy director of Jiangshi Electric and was imprisoned for corruption, and went to Africa to pan for gold after being released from prison. He used to be such a frivolous and arrogant person, but at this moment, what Lin Zhenhua saw from his eyes was a kind of peace and calmness.
"Jianbo, we haven't seen each other in years." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile while pouring tea for Jin Jianbo.
"Ever since I went to Africa, count it up...... It's been almost 10 years, right? Jin Jianbo said uncertainly. In his mind, the experience of the past few years in Africa was as long as decades, so that when he set foot on Chinese soil again, especially when he returned to Jiangnan Province, he almost felt like a world away.
Lin Zhenhua sat down on the sofa next to Jin Jianbo, handed the tea to Jin Jianbo, and then asked, "What, Jianbo, haven't you been back all these years?" ”
Jin Jianbo said: "In the first year or two, I was mainly engaged in China-Africa trade, selling Chinese things to Africa. I came back a lot, but each time I came and went, going to the small commodity market to buy goods, loading them into containers, and then returning to Africa. Later, I started to undertake some projects in Africa, and I had less contact with China, so I never came back. ”
"I heard Lu Qihong from our group's sales center in Lagos talk about it, saying that when I first went there, I met you on the street, and then you provided them with a lot of convenience. I've always said I'd like to thank you in person. Lin Zhenhua said.
Jin Jianbo waved his hand: "Zhenhua, you can see the outside world when you say this, when I went to Africa, you also gave me a lot of help, did I say a word of thanks?" Xiao Lu and they built a sales center in Lagos, and I gave them some help, but it was just a gesture. ”
"Hehe, I heard Lu Qihong say. Jianbo: You've done a lot of business over there. It stands to reason that if the business has reached this point, you don't need to be stared at by the big boss all the time, right? Why don't you take the time to go back to your home country and take a look? Lin Zhenhua asked curiously.
Jin Jianbo said: "When I left Jiangnan Province, I made a poisonous oath. If I can't make a name for myself outside, I'll never come back. ”
"So, you're a little famous now?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "I remember when Lu Qihong told me about you, he said that you already have a building in Lagos, and there are many projects, how can the assets exceed 100 million, right?" Such a net worth. Somewhere else can be regarded as a successful person. ”
Jin Jianbo shook his head and said: "It's not enough to have assets of over 100 million, what I want to do is not something that can be done with 100 million." ”
"So exaggerated?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "I don't know what Mr. Jin wants to do earth-shattering things, a net worth of 100 million, at least in China, there is no obstacle to doing anything." ”
Jin Jianbo leaned over a little and said to Lin Zhenhua, "Zhenhua." Seriously, when I come back this time, I really have something to ask you to do. You're going to have to do me a favor anyway. ”
"What's the matter?" Lin Zhenhua was surprised.
Jin Jianbo asked, "Zhenhua, do you remember how I ended up in prison back then?" ”
"This ......" Lin Zhenhua was a little embarrassed. Jin Jianbo went to prison, and it was inconvenient for him to talk to Jin Jianbo, and he didn't expect Jin Jianbo to bring it up himself. As for the reason why Jin Jianbo went to prison, of course Lin Zhenhua is clear, isn't it corruption? However, what does Jin Jianbo mean by asking?
Jin Jianbo smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Alas. This kind of embarrassing thing, presumably Zhenhua, you won't know too much. I was sentenced for embezzlement and bribery when I was the deputy director of Jiangshidian. I always remember that the amount of embezzlement that the investigation team finally determined for me was 100,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan that year......"...,
"It's all in the past, and now Jianbo, you've changed your mind. Got back on your feet? You don't have to worry about these things. Lin Zhenhua persuaded.
Jin Jianbo said: "Others can forget about it, but I can't forget it." A good Jiang Shidian was defeated at the hands of our people. Niu Beisheng is dead, and I don't have to be responsible for this matter, but I'm still alive, and I want to have an explanation for the past. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhenhua was taken aback, "How many years ago did this happen, how do you plan to explain it?" ”
Jin Jianbo said: "I have always had a wish, that is, one day, I can return the family property that we people have lost to the country." Now Jiangshi Electric is no longer there, and has become Hanhua Refrigeration Equipment Company. I know that it is impossible for you Zhenhua to allow me to repay the refrigeration equipment company, because you are not short of this money, right? ”
"Uh......" Lin Zhenhua was speechless, "It's not a question of lack of money, but ...... How do I say that, how do I think it's weird. ”
The corruption of Jin Jianbo and others has led to the loss of Jiang Shidian's assets, but how can the parties compensate for such money? Besides, even if compensation is required, how can this value be calculated? The assets lost by Jiangshi Power back then were at best thousands of dollars, but how can the thousands of dollars at that time be calculated today?
Jin Jianbo laughed: "Zhenhua, I also know that I am quite strange. In fact, I have been in prison for several years, and I have already paid the price for my actions, and the country does not need me to atone for my sins. I just have a knot in my own heart, I always feel that I have made mistakes, and I can't hold my head up in front of people, I hope to be able to use money to wash away my past mistakes, so that I can face the workers of Jiangshi Electric calmly. ”
Lin Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, then said with a dumb smile: "Jianbo, I always thought that you had been in prison for a few years and had spent 10 years in Africa, and the problems on your body should have been corrected." Listening to your words, I realized that you are still you, full of petty bourgeois complexes. What is Form 2 Youth ...... It's people like you. ”
"What is Form 2?" Jin Jianbo asked, "Is this a new statement that has emerged in China?" ”
Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "The definition of the so-called secondary two youth is: a young man who is meaninglessly cool because he wants to be recognized by others. Jianbo, think about it, does this definition fit your characteristics? ”
Jin Jianbo thought about it and laughed: "Zhenhua, don't say it, after your analysis, I really mean something." In the past, in order to make people recognize me, I thought about making a career every day. To surpass you Lin Zhenhua. After many years, I still want to make others recognize me, and I still want to use money to atone for my sins. It seems that it is really easy to change. It's hard to move. ”
"It's good to figure it out, everyone doesn't care about the past for a long time, you don't have to take it too seriously." Lin Zhenhua persuaded.
Jin Jianbo shook his head and said: "No, Zhenhua, you say that I am the second second, or that I have a good face, if I don't do this." I'm never going to be happy for the rest of my life. You are my good friend, so you will fulfill me. ”
Lin Zhenhua had a bad chill on his body, such a big man pretended to be in front of him, and no one could stand it. He said, "Well, I'm afraid of you." Tell me, what do you want to do? ”
Jin Jianbo said: "Back then, Jiangshi Electric had 2,490 employees, because of the leadership, including me. Encountering the dilemma of being laid off and unemployed, in those years, the life of Jiangshidian's employees was very miserable. There are also some old workers who died early because the factory could not reimburse the medical expenses. Now, I want to ask all the employees who have been affected by us, I know that any verbal petition is pale, and I want to give 100,000 yuan in compensation to every employee of the year, Zhenhua, can you help me do it? "...," 100,000 yuan per person! Lin Zhenhua's eyes widened as big as copper bells, "There are more than 2,000 people, which is more than 200 million." Jianbo, you actually want to come up with 200 million...... To atone for sins? ”
"What is money?" Jin Jianbo shrugged. It seems that he is not talking about 200 million, but 2 yuan, he said: "If it was just for my personal life, I would have earned enough money for dozens of lifetimes." I have been working hard in Africa all these years to earn more than 200 million in compensation. If I don't return this money to everyone, I have a troubled conscience. ”
"Jianbo. Actually, you don't have to be so extreme, if you want to apologize to everyone, I want to ...... One or twenty thousand is enough, even if it is one or two thousand per person, it will add up to 50 million, which is not a small amount. With more than 200 million at once, can your company stand it? Lin Zhenhua kindly advised. He was really frightened by Jin Jianbo's generosity, although the scale of Hanhua's industry is much larger than Jin Jianbo's company, but if Lin Zhenhua wants to take out 200 million yuan at once to distribute it to his old colleagues, I am afraid it is also necessary to think about it.
Jin Jianbo smiled conceitedly and said: "Zhenhua, don't hide it, if it was a year ago, I really couldn't make up my mind, I would want to wait a few more years." But since last year, the international iron ore price has skyrocketed, and several of my mines in Africa have made a lot of profits, and more than 200 million in cash is nothing to me. ”
"You're actually engaged in a mine too?" Lin Zhenhua asked curiously.
Jin Jianbo said with a smile: "You are not allowed to laugh at me when you say it, I am completely inspired by Hanhua to engage in mining." When I was in Africa, I noticed that GCA was constantly buying local mines, and although I couldn't see the future of the mining industry, one thing I knew was clear, that is, Zhenhua, your decision will never be wrong. So, I also used the idle funds in my hand to buy a few mines, and as a result, Zhenhua, you really didn't disappoint me, haha. ”
"No, you'll have to pay me for the information!" Lin Zhenhua said viciously.
"Not really, right? Zhenhua, the friendship between the two of us ......"
"Please, Jin Jianbo, can you please refrain from saying such misleading words?"
"What misunderstanding?"
"Uh...... Never mind. Lin Zhenhua didn't dare to make jokes about children anymore, he said, "I'll help you do this." The list of employees of Lao Jiang Shidian and their current addresses are archived in the human resources department of the group, and I will go back and let Bi Min help you call it out. How are you going to distribute the money? Do you want me to gather all the old workers and have your gold factory director give out red envelopes one by one? ”
"No need." Jin Jianbo said, "I also brought a few assistants over, so please Zhenhua you arrange a few people to help give the money to the employees." For those employees who are no longer alive, the money will be handed over to their families, and it will be said that it is my Jin Jianbo's apology to everyone. ”
"Jianbo, I have to say, you are really a man." Lin Zhenhua said sincerely.
Jin Jianbo's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he said with relief: "Zhenhua, if I can get your evaluation, my 200 million will be worth it." ”
Jin Jianbo spent money to atone for his sins, and all of a sudden spread throughout the Hanhua Heavy Industry Group, although the original Jiangshi Electric is only a branch of the Hanhua Group today, but the employees who came out of Jiangshi Electric have spread all over the entire group. Touched the most. It is none other than Jin Jianbo's ex-wife, Shen Jiale, the ace welding technician of Hanhua Group.
"Mom, I went to see my dad today, and he asked me to bring you back 100,000 yuan." Daughter Honghong walked to Shen Jiale's side. Hand her a large paper bag.
Shen Jiale looked at her husband Fang Yanwu who was sitting on the side embarrassedly, and said to Honghong: "If he gives you money, you can take it, but I can't take his money." ”…,
Honghong said: "My dad said that he used this money to atone for the original employees of Jiang Shidian, and he said that you are also an employee of Jiang Shidian." So you should take a copy as well. Also, my grandparents, there are some. ”
"This ......" Shen Jiale was at a loss, she was not a person who was good at dealing with people, and when she encountered this kind of thing, she had no idea at all. 100,000 yuan is not a large amount for Shen Jiale's current family background, but the problem is. The money was given by her ex-husband, and her current husband is sitting and watching.
Fang Yanwu looked at his wife. smiled and said, "Jiale, you have to accept this money." I heard Zhenhua say that Jin Jianbo took out more than 200 million this time, just to buy a peace of mind. To be honest, I really admire him, where he falls, where he can get up again, such a person is indeed worthy of respect. ”
Shen Jiale said to him left and right: "I just heard that he went to Africa." I don't know how he can earn so much money, how did he earn all this money? ”
Honghong said: "I heard my dad say that all this money he earned was earned by a drop of sweat." He said that when he first arrived in Africa, he was so poor that he couldn't even eat instant noodles. It is often a bowl of rice with a little salt to cover a meal. He also told me that it was very dangerous for him to do business outside, and that there was often war in that part of Africa. Once, he was standing where he was stood, and a cannonball hit such a big hole in the ground. ”
"Really? Are others alright? Shen Jiale blurted out, and after speaking, he felt that it seemed inappropriate for him to care about Jin Jianbo like this, so he hurriedly glanced at Fang Yanwu secretly, but found that Fang Yanwu was also attracted by Honghong's narration, and did not notice her gaffe at all.
Honghong said: "It's not the shell in the middle of the time, it's after the fact." He said that not long after he left, a shell landed on the same place where he had just stood, and that if he had gone a little later, he would have died. ”
"This kind of thing has happened to our workers." Fang Yanwu commented, "Anyway, Jin Jianbo has suffered a lot in Africa over the years, but fortunately, everything has come to an end. ”
"My dad said that he now has a net worth of 1 billion, which is calculated in RMB." Honghong said.
"Uh...... It's really good......" Fang Yanwu's expression froze a little, and he felt a little sour in his heart.
Honghong continued: "By the way, Dad, Mom, my dad said that he would sponsor me to study abroad, and when I graduated from college, he would ask people to contact me with the best schools in the United States." You say, 'Shall I go or not?' ”
Honghong's title is a bit confusing, she calls Fang Yanwu Dad, and Jin Jianbo also calls Dad, one is raised by her over the years, and the other is related to her. Emotionally speaking, she is closer to Fang Yanwu, after all, when Jin Jianbo was imprisoned, she was only four or five years old, and there is not much left in her memory.
Shen Jiale said a little unhappily: "Honghong, you want to study abroad, and our family's money is enough for you to go, so you don't need him to sponsor you, right?" Your dad also has a lot of classmates in the United States, and it is not difficult to contact a good school. Haven't you already said this in the past, why have you changed again? ”
Honghong glanced at Fang Yanwu and said, "Actually, I don't want him to help me get in touch, mainly because I think my dad might want to give me some compensation, and I don't want him to be sad, so I agreed." ”
"Well, I support you, after all, he is your biological father, and he is willing to sponsor you, which is completely acceptable to you. Then he will be happy in his heart. Fang Yanwu patted Honghong's shoulder and said generously. This kind of thing, that is, only men can understand men, Fang Yanwu is completely pushing others with himself.
Honghong left happily, Fang Yanwu and Shen Jiale guarded the 100,000 yuan on the table, looking at each other, not knowing what to say. After a long time, Shen Jiale asked without words: "Yanwu, do you think Jianbo is ...... Is there really a family fortune of 1 billion? ”
"I think, there should be, listen to Zhenhua, he made a fortune by engaging in mines, otherwise...... There may not be so much. Fang Yanwu stumbled and said, after speaking, he was silent for a while, and then carefully added: "Actually, if I realize my shares in the group, I will also have 1 billion ......."
Shen Jiale laughed silently, she stepped forward, stroked her husband's hand, and said, "What, are you jealous?" ”
Fang Yanwu was a little embarrassed, he said hesitantly: "No, I'm just stating a reality." Really, if I want money, these shares are really worth 10 billion. ”
Shen Jiale shook his head and said, "Whether it's 10 billion or 10 billion, it doesn't matter to me." Yanwu, after so many years, you still don't know what I want? All I want is to weld.
