In the First Battle of the South China Sea, Long Xu's reputation was famous, and everyone in the military circles of China was already well-known. Long Xu went to the Military Commission to report on his work, and he was even rewarded by the Military Commission. Tang Chen, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, was therefore promoted to the Central Committee and promoted to one level, which was regarded as entering the Military Commission, and then naturally Long Xu officially became a regular and became the first chair of the South China Sea Fleet. After Long Xu's debriefing, Wang Jun summoned Long Xu alone and said: "Long Xu, you young people still have courage, as soon as you go to the South China Sea, you make such a big move, it's really happy." If I were a teenager younger, I would have asked for a fight. Yes, this time you have played the national prestige of China, and from now on, these crumbs around the South China Sea will not dare to violate the border again." Long Xu said modestly: "This is not my credit, the decision of the head of this matter is good, the strength of the country is strong, we just implemented the right decision." Wang Jun said with a smile: "Hehe, you really have you, you are merit but not arrogant, you are good, you have the style of a father." Tell me, what are the other difficulties and requests? ”。 Long Xu immediately stood with his legs together, straightened up, and said, "Report to the chief, there is no difficulty, and there is no request." When Wang Jun heard this, he said with a smile: "Is there really no difficulty?" When Long Dan heard this, he also heard the taste, and asked, "What does the chief mean?" ”。 Wang Jun said: "You don't have to be nervous, don't be so formal, and there are no outsiders, let's sit and talk casually." It's about your father." When Long Xu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to my father?" Wang Jun said with a smile: "What else can your father do, he, a super-rich man, just has money, no, he donated some money to the Military Commission, I am asking you what difficulties you have, since you said that there are no difficulties, then I don't plan to give it to you." When Long Xu heard this, he understood what Wang Jun meant when he asked if he had any difficulties, and hurriedly said: "If there are many difficulties, it is the accommodation of the troops' families, you also know that the South China Sea Fleet is relatively scattered, and the officers and men have lived a life of asceticism over the years, and rarely go home, and because their posts are relatively scattered, most of the cadres are separated from their husbands and wives, and I am also trying to solve this problem." But there is no such thing in military spending, and I am worried that I can't solve it." Wang Jun asked, "Then how much money do you need?" Long Xu replied: "It depends on how much money the chief approves."

Wang Jun looked at Long Xu and said, "Guess how much your father donated?" Long Xu said: "At least 1000 million, right?" When Wang Jun heard this, he said: "You also underestimate your father, guess again" "2 billion? Long Xu said again. Wang Jun said: "It seems that you really don't know your father, he donated 10 billion this time." When Long Xu heard this, he said, "There are so many? Wang Jun laughed out loud and said, "Your father's money is as much as a cow's hair, and taking out one is enough for us to use for a while." Long Xu asked, "How much does the chief plan to give us?" "It's all for you South China Sea Fleet," Wang Jun said happily. "All to us?" Long Xu also didn't believe it a little, there is an unwritten rule in Huaxia, all geese pluck their feathers, and once they pluck their hands, the yamen will peel off the skin, and then he thought that the Military Commission gave all the money to the South China Sea Fleet. I couldn't help asking: "Is this money up to our South China Sea Fleet?" Wang Jun said: "Of course, as long as you don't put this money in your own pocket, you can spend it however you want." But also, you are the eldest son of Brother Long, and you are also the master of money, and there is nothing to worry about."

Long Xu patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the chief, this money is definitely spent on the right path, but I have an idea, I don't know if the chief approves it or not?" ”。“ Say what you think, if you approve or not, say it and see," Wang Jun said encouragingly. Long Xu explained: "Chief, I think so, it has always been the army that only spends money, I wonder if I can use this money to arrange some veterans and their families, one to solve the worries of the army, and the other to generate some interest." When Wang Jun heard this, he became interested and asked, "How to operate it specifically, tell me about it?" ”。 Long Xu continued: "The South China Sea Fleet is located in the South China Sea, and the land is very cheap, even if there are thousands of cadres, the housing problem will not cost much, I think 2 billion is enough." After spending 3 billion yuan to set up several large ocean-going fleets, they can carry out commercial operations, first, they can resettle retired troops, and second, they can also hide troops for the country and the people, and maybe there will be profits to be made and provide some help for the supply of troops. I want to give back the remaining 5 billion to my father." "Give it back to your father? How so? Wang Jun asked with some surprise.

Long Dan smiled and said: "If you want to make money, I'm afraid there is no one more shrewd in Huaxia than my father, I want to hand over the remaining 5 billion to my father to manage, maybe more funds will grow every year." When Wang Jun heard this, he woke up like a dream and said, "Hehe, your idea is good. I heard that your father's Long Clan Fund has trillions of capital, and the benefits born in him are probably hundreds of millions every year. Haha, Brother Long, no matter how shrewd you are, you can't be as shrewd as your son, you will soon become your son's opportunity to make money, hehehe". Wang Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this idea, and thought: It is really worthy of being the son of Long Dan, it is really a dragon giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes, which is not false at all. Long Xu's method is ingenious, put 5 billion funds to the Long Fund to operate, I am afraid that there will be about 1 billion benefits in a year, then the South China Sea Fleet will have 1 billion huge funds in vain every year, and there are some non-military expenditures on the troops, so there is no need to ask the Military Commission for funds every day.

Wang Junsi pondered for a while and said: "You are doing this, it is said that there is nothing to blame, but it must not go wrong, as early as the 90s of the last century, when all the people were businessmen, the army was doing business everywhere, and the army was not like the army, and the businessmen were not like businessmen." Later, the Military Commission issued an order strictly prohibiting military personnel from doing business. If you do this, you will not go back to the way things were. Have you considered this question? ”。 Long Dan said: "We will never get involved in it, I will hire non-military personnel to operate this matter, and our soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet will never have anyone inside, please rest assured." Wang Jun listened to Long Xu's assurance, then he was relieved and said: "However, the South China Sea Fleet has its own particularity, even if it is a special case of yours, you can't open this hole in other troops, if this is the case, the country will not be chaotic." Long Xu, you must remember that your first task is to defend the southern gate of the motherland, as for any difficulties, it is still up to the state to solve them, don't be keen on these trails and miss your own good future." As soon as Long Xu heard what Wang Jun said, he hurriedly gave a military salute and said, "Please rest assured, I will remember that I am a soldier."

Long Xu returned to the South China Sea Fleet, which was already a well-known leader, and immediately carried out a drastic military rectification. After implementing a series of military measures, the morale of the army has been greatly boosted and its strength has been greatly increased. Then he made time to arrange for the logistics support department to set up a special donation fund management office, and implemented a special fund management system for the 10 billion funds donated by Long Dan.

First of all, 2 billion yuan was allocated to the logistics support department to invite bids from the society, and a large number of residential areas for the families of cadres were built in the three major military bases, and all the families of the cadres were arranged. Even Long Xu himself transferred his wife Xiaoya to the East China Sea Fleet and served in the 521 Military Hospital of the East China Sea Fleet. Xiaoya was the director of the military hospital when she was in the East China Sea Fleet, and when she came to the South China Sea Fleet, she was naturally also the director of the 521 Hospital. Long Xu's mother still followed Long Xu and lived in Long Xu's general building. At first, Xiaoya also persuaded her mother-in-law to return to Long Dan's side and have a husband and wife reunion. But Long Xu's mother excused herself on the grounds that Long Xu's child was small, saying that she had to watch her grandson go to school. Long Xu had no choice but to obey his mother's advice, and his mother would take care of his three-year-old son, and wait for the child to go to school.

Then. Long Xu also arranged for people to recruit non-military personnel and established three large commercial companies. One is a marine fishing company, which is also involved in the processing of aquatic products. A South China Sea shipping company, a Spratly Islands planting company. The three companies have been put into operation, and the veterans of the South China Sea Fleet, who have accumulated for many years, have been properly employed. The family members of the serving fleet cadres also have careers and earn a lot of money. Everyone praised the young fleet commander and praised the new commander for being a good leader who spoke favorably, and for a time, serving as a soldier in the South China Sea Fleet became a favorite of the nation's military recruitment departments. Many children of workers and peasants in the interior have spent money to join the South China Sea Fleet as soldiers.

After these things are done, there is only the question of where the 5 billion funds will go. Long Xu made a special trip back to Long Dan's home, found his father, and discussed the matter of 5 billion funds to be settled in Long's Fund. When Long Dan first heard about this, he didn't agree very much. Long Dan believes that the army is to protect the family and defend the country, and it is better to deal less with business, so as not to pollute the purity of the army with copper odor. However, Long Xu had already prepared his rhetoric, attributed these things to part of the construction of the army, and explained his benefits in detail. He also explained that the South China Sea Fleet is located in a remote area and has abundant resources, so it is somewhat credible not to use it, and second, it can better stabilize the situation of the troops. In particular, the issue of resettling the families of military personnel is a major problem affecting the morale of the military if there is no good arrangement in peacetime.

Later, Long Dan also acquiesced to Long Xu's idea and allowed Long Xu to put 5 billion funds into the Long Fund. The annual income of the Long's Fund is more than 15%, which means that the Long's Fund can send nearly 1 billion funds to the South China Sea Fleet every year, which is also a direct support for the construction of the army. When you don't want to be in the army, take my place." Long Xu, who was frightened by this sentence, hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Dad, you still spare me, I'm not that material, I'm still my soldier, you do your business, don't beat my idea." Long Dan smiled: "You just don't want to replace me, so you won't be so afraid, right?" Sooner or later, my seat will be yours, will you let me be in charge for the rest of my life, and I will work for you for the rest of my life? ”。
