0498 Era (Finale)
23 years, if you live, it will pass in a flash.
23 years, if you stand still, it will be like forever.
"90214, this is what you were with you before you went to jail." The young prison guard, dressed in a tight black suit, pushed a bag of things over, then pointed to a screen on the wall behind him and said, "After confirmation, please brush your eye lines there." β
Judging by the voice, the prison guard should be a man, but he has a slender and graceful figure, delicate eyebrows, and a layer of light makeup on his face, but he looks like a woman.
The prisoner in front of him was neither fat nor thin, and he should be a relatively spiritual person from the facial features, but due to his age and experience, his expression and pupils were full of cowardice and confusion, and deep down was fear.
He pointed to the sleek screen on the wall in surprise: "Eye lines? β
"It's the iris, which you registered before." The attitude of the prison guard was very friendly, and he gestured and said, "You stick your eyes on and scan, and you can hear the sound of BI, rest assured, there is no damage to your eyes, now this technology has been popularized, and you can also use it after you get out of prison." β
"I ...... It's better to press the handprint, and you can also sign it. The prisoner ignored the magical device, looking down at his belongings.
That was more than twenty years ago.
Italian suits worth nearly 300,000 yuan, Swiss diamond-encrusted watches, spy mobile phones with unique satellite channels, and the latest wallets, private bank-grade bank cards, and enterprise-grade checkbooks at that time.
The prison guard shook his head helplessly: "90214, it's very convenient to brush eye lines, if you go through the original document process, I first have to print a document, and then you sign and I will sign." My superiors signed and finally stamped for approval, I'm afraid it will take more than an hour. β
"It's okay." The prisoner nodded, "I can get out as I get in." β
"Come on." The prison guard was helpless, raised his hand to his watch and said something, and then smiled and looked at Chengquan, "My colleague quickly sent the documents." β
"What's that?" The prisoner asked, pointing to the beautiful silver watch.
"Telecom watch. Equivalent to your original ...... Mobile phone bar. The prison guard exclaimed, "Aren't you allowed to read the news and newspapers?" It's been a popular thing for years. β
"I thought...... Just concept product......"
"A lot of concepts have become reality, 90214." The prison guard smiled kindly and waved his hand, "After you go out, you can also buy a piece, there are many styles to choose from, or you can buy a traditional watch, and then go to the manufacturer to transform it and add the communication function." β
The prisoner stared at his watch for a long time: "No screen?" β
"Huh. Playing with the screen is a different set of devices. The guard waved his hand, "There are clear rules, I don't dare to bring them in." β
"Okay." The prisoner nodded, at least the screen was still there, and the world was not so exaggerated.
The rest of the time, the prison guards briefed him on the situation outside.
In this day and age. Men and women pay the same attention to beauty, and even more so, many women don't wear much makeup and plastic surgery. Dedicated to your career. The tradition has been almost subverted, and the belief in "freedom and equality" has been thoroughly carried forward, which is why the prison guards treat prisoners so well, because everyone is equal.
As for clothing, food, housing and transportation, the changes are actually limited, even if the car only needs to burn a small amount of oil, but if you want to run far and fast, you still need to burn oil; Even though most of the food is the result of genetically modified organisms, it is still rice and white flour; Even if you are equal and free, if you want to buy a house completely. Prices are still frighteningly high.
The prisoner was a little excited and a little frightened, and he wanted to ask more. But he didn't dare to ask.
Soon, another warning sent a document, this prison guard is very old, it is estimated that he is about to retire, he is not wearing makeup, he is still the same as he was decades ago.
"Thank you, Lao Zhang." The young prison guard pushed the documents and pens in front of Cheng Quan, "Now in the entire prison, I'm afraid only Lao Zhang can find a pen." β
The prison guard named Lao Zhang did not laugh along, but leaned into the young prison guard's ear and whispered: "Prisoners 20 years ago, be careful, don't be so enthusiastic." β
"Huh!" The young prison guard said disdainfully, "Lao Zhang, what age is it?" Aren't you afraid that the defendant will discriminate against the prisoner? β
"A prisoner is a prisoner." Lao Zhang snorted, glared at the prisoner, took the signed document and left.
After he left, the young prison guard smiled at the prisoner: "I'm sorry, the old prison guard, I retired today, and I still did it decades ago." β
"It's okay, I'm kinder to that set." The prisoner was scolded by the old prison guard, but he felt a lot more comfortable, "He is right, a prisoner is a prisoner, and since he has made a mistake, he has a reason to be punished." β
"You can't say that." The young prison guard shook his head and said, "It's not equal, everyone makes mistakes, but the prisoners are deeper." 90214, after you go out, you have to put away the old comrades, in the current society you can't eat, you may be inexplicably accused of all kinds of class discrimination, identity discrimination or racial discrimination, and a lot of fines. β
"Huh." The prisoner waved his hand and said, "It's only possible that they discriminate against me." β
"No, it won't." The prison guard nodded, "This society is very beautiful, and everyone is kind. β
"I hope so."
An hour later, the prisoner changed his clothes, walked through the whole process, and walked out of the prison gate with a briefcase from 20 years ago, like an elderly insurance officer, under the packaging of those old famous brands.
The world didn't seem to have changed, and he was relieved.
He looked around, and there was nothing in the empty street except for a tattered and apparently abandoned car.
"Also, no one will pick me up." The prisoner sighed.
Just as he was about to walk in a certain direction, the broken sedan suddenly started, and the sound of the old motor was so pleasant to the prisoner.
It's hard to imagine that dark green rotten jeep can still run, and it is still moving towards itself.
The car stopped beside him, and a voice came: "Get in the car." β
The prisoner breathed a sigh of relief again and pulled the car door: "The people from the wealth management company, right?" I said, I'm supposed to be a super customer, and someone has to come to receive me. β
He sat in the co-pilot. Turning his head to look, this pilot scared him into a clever man, and in appearance, this guy was 100 times more terrifying than any guy in the prison.
It was an old man, with a silver beard, extremely vigorous and unkempt hair, and a lot of folds on his face. Especially now that he's smiling, the folds are more and deeper.
"Cheng Gongzi, long time no see."
"You are ......" The prisoner instinctively wanted to open the car door and escape, although he couldn't remember the appearance, but he would never forget the tone of the voice.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The old man hurriedly grabbed Cheng Quan, although he was old like this, but his wrist was still strong enough, "I have been retired for a long time, and I am here to pick you up today." Think of it as a ride. β
The prisoner gasped and looked at the old man: "Shi Qiang? β
"Hehe, just say you can't forget me." Shi Qiang took out a cigarette case, shook one in his mouth, and then shook the cigarette case completely. "It's in demand, and now that everyone smokes eco-friendly cigarettes, this thing is precious to death."
Cheng Quan shook his head: "Don't smoke." β
"Yes." Shi Qiang was also not wearing a seatbelt. And so the old antique was launched.
"Why did you come to pick me up......" Cheng Cheng looked at him vigilantly, 20 years is enough time to consume a lot of things, including hatred, and now Cheng Cheng is just instinctively afraid of this person.
"Why me?" Shi Qiang smiled, "How many people in this world know you?" Who do you think will come? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Cheng Quan lowered his head slightly.
Elders, it's obvious that it's gone.
The closest brother is also long dead.
As for the wife...... This is the most uncomfortable thing that makes perfection the most. After four years in prison and the turmoil completely subsided, Tong Feifei filed for divorce, and due to the limited power of the prisoners at that time, she succeeded. At that time, he had no intention of resisting, and all thoughts were lost.
Tong Feifei is a complete liar, she once said in court that she would take her children to visit the prison every week. However, this incident has never happened in the past 20 years, and the few prison visits are made by people from the wealth management company to talk about things, and in recent years, even people from the wealth management company have not come.
No relatives, not even a friend.
"Hehe, do you want him to pick you up?" Shi stressed and said with a smile.
Cheng Quan, knowing who Shi Qiang was talking about, he shook his head like a cowardly uncle, that was the real fear.
"Yes, that's what I thought, you've been in prison for so many years, and it's considered atonement, how pitiful it is to come out alone. If I send you in, I have to send you out, right? Shi Qiang patted his thigh, "Anyway, it's okay for me to retire, so I'll be a driver." Say, where do you want to go. β
"That'...... Thank you, Captain Shi. Twenty years of prison life has already made Cheng Quan a completely different person, he now knows that he is nothing, in prison, he learned to protect himself with humility, Cheng Quan took out a notebook from his bag, took out the broken gold-rimmed glasses and glasses and put them on, squinted and said, "Jijing Huasheng Wealth Management Company...... I'm going to get my money out first. β
"Something." Shi Qiang frowned and said, "Where can I find this?" β
Chengquan handed the notebook to Shi Qiang, and after Shi Qiang saw the detailed address, he confidently drove in that direction.
When I arrived in the city, I finally saw the changes in the world.
In order to solve the traffic congestion, many storey bridges have been erected, in fact, this is the same concept as the original elevated expressway, but the number of floors and scale have been increased. In the congested area, there are even five or six stories of elevated, and Shi Qiang reasonably chose the most smooth one.
"It's in the city...... Cheng Quan, looking at the wonders of the city, sighed, "This is ...... Four rings? β
"Four rings?" Shi Qiang laughed heartily, "Cheng Gongzi, this is the Seven Rings!" It's 100 kilometers smaller than the Fourth Ring Road! β
ββ¦β¦ Seven rings? Cheng Cheng looked out the window incredulously, "Is this still a suburb?" β
"It's an urban area, and the suburbs of the year are now the urban area."
Due to the relatively smooth road and Shi Qiang's posture skills, in less than an hour, the two finally arrived at the address of the wealth management company.
Where there are any wealth management companies, they have long been flooded by all kinds of buildings.
Shi Qiang was helpless and began to make various calls to find information about this company. After asking a lot of questions, I learned that the company went bankrupt four years ago, and the good thing to say is that it was swallowed, and now the customers and accounts have been transferred to the "micro-bank wealth management center".
"Microbank, I know this." Shi Qiang put away the old-fashioned phone. "Your old friend's company." β
ββ¦β¦ Small...... Is it WeChat? β
"Almost, it was originally a joint venture between Weixin and the bank, but now it has basically broken away." Shi Qiang patted the picture, "I guess you haven't made any online banking, let's go, I'll take you to the physical business hall." β
"You don't need any papers."
Shi Qiang pointed to his eyes: "Hehe." In these days, it is enough to go out with your eyes. β
"What about the blind man?"
"......" Shi Qiang smiled dumbly, twenty years later, has Chengquan learned humor?
The real city center, the micro-bank business concept hall.
This is not an office location, but a place to advertise its business, and 99% of the business of the microbank operates online, with the occasional 1% of people coming here. It is designed to be spacious, just like the public hall of Longyuan's business hall 20 years ago. But the area is a hundred times larger than there.
In the area with the highest land price in the city center, it is obvious that business is secondary, and publicity is the focus.
The service hall is filled with counselors in formal attire and a variety of self-service machines.
Chengquan was still surprised, and a woman and child in a beautiful white dress greeted him.
"Hello, I am the customer service manager of WeBank. What can work for you? β
Cheng Quan looked at her and asked, "You guys...... Don't have a uniform attire? β
"There's a badge." The girl lifted the badge on her chest and smiled, "We have never forced uniform clothing in Weiyin, so it is more free." I'm sure you'll like it too. β
Shi Qiang said to the girl: "This guy just came back from Africa, he doesn't understand anything, he was transferred here a few years ago when he had a financial relationship, can you help me check it?" β
"Well said." The girl took out a transparent piece of paper, tapped it a few times, and then handed it to Cheng Quan, "Please brush your eye lines in the red area." β
Cheng Quan's eyes were astonished at the piece of paper.
Yes, that's the screen, it's like a soft piece of plastic film, you can even crumple it and stuff it in your pocket. But when you want to use it, he flattens out the display things.
The girl looked at Cheng Quan's surprised look and wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh, because she wouldn't be discriminated against. You will lose your job.
"Ignore him, he just came back from Africa and hasn't seen anything like this." Shi Qiang grinned loudly, "Hey, Cheng Gongzi, there is time to enjoy technology, let's brush your eye lines first." β
"Uh-oh." Cheng Quan took off his glasses and put his eyes on as the prison guard said before, and after hearing the sound of bi, he handed the piece of paper to the girl, "Okay, right?" β
"Hmm." The girl manipulated the screen for a while, then handed the piece of paper back to Chengquan, "Let's see if your message can match." β
Chengquan had to put on glasses, squint at the screen, ID number, and photo, all of which were correct.
The assets under his name have all been invested in a product called "Micro Earning", and Cheng Quan does not know that Micro Profit has always existed and been popular in the past 20 years, and has not changed its name.
"One...... Two...... Three ......" Cheng Cheng began to count the "0s" behind the assets, in the past, he used to write a check and draw a row of "0s", but now he is surprisingly nervous because of one more and one less.
Shi Qiang couldn't look at it, so he clicked on the side.
Then a woman's voice came from the "piece of paper"-
"Two thousand seven hundred seventy five thousand five hundred and seventy-four dollars."
Cheng Quan's was taken aback.
"It's pretty rich." Shi Qiang smiled and patted the picture.
"No, why is it just like that...... Cheng Quanquan looked at the girl in horror, "It should be hundreds of millions, after so many years, even if it is 4% a year, there should be three or four hundred million." β
"Wait, I'll check." The girl took the piece of paper and scratched it for a while, called up the original data, came to the side of Cheng and pointed to the screen and explained, "Your assets were merged later, and when you came, there were only 20 million left, according to the original scans, the original operation of that company should have lost a lot, maybe it was invested in the stock market to catch up with the stock market crash 10 years ago." β
Beads of sweat appeared on Chengquan's head.
What the damn money management company...... I don't see anyone alive or dead......
It would be nice to know that you would have saved it for a regular time......
This money is my last dependence, and now that I am almost 50 years old, I have not worked much in my life, and it is impossible to mix it up again...... I have to live to the end with this money!
"Cheng Gongzi, quite a few." Shi Qiang smiled, "Although it is not enough to buy a house in the Sixth Ring Road, it is quite a lot." β
Shi Qiang is not a consolation at all. It's a mending.
"I can't buy a house in the Sixth Ring Road???" Chengquan's feeling collapsed instantly, "Captain Shi, tell me how much this money is equivalent to in our era." β
"It can't be compared." Shi Qiang shook his head, "Now that we are a developed country, the products produced by machines are very cheap, and only real estate and human service products are expensive. β
"Give me an idea."
"Hmm...... More than 20 million is equivalent to ......," Shi Qiang frowned and thought for a while. "Two or three million."
Burst......
Cheng Cheng sat down on the ground.
"Old sir? Old gentleman? The girl was a little scared, "Do you need help?" β
"It's okay...... I'll sit for a while......" Cheng Quan hugged his head and waved his hand dejectedly.
"You're busy." Shi Qiang said to the girl, "My friend just came back from Africa, and he is a little uncomfortable. β
"That'...... Something called me. β
"Okay."
Shi Qiang squatted down and sat beside Cheng Quan, suddenly feeling a little pity.
Now the fulfillment, there is no longer a trace of arrogance, prison and those blows. turned him into a complete old waste, and in the face of such a person, he can only pity him, and it is unlikely to be ruthless to him.
"Captain Shi, I want to go back." Cheng Cheng bowed his head and said dejectedly. "At least you don't have to deal with these things there."
"Back to prison?"
"Hmm." Cheng Quan hugged his legs and said, "Outside, it's terrible." β
"Well......" Shi Qiang said he understood. He'd seen too many prisoners, "Why don't you rob a bank?" β
Cheng Cheng looked up and looked around, and really began to plan.
"Don't. Damn! Shi Qiang laughed, "What about more than two million, you can rent public housing, it's very cheap, that building is a hundred floors smaller, there is everything in it, it can fit you." β
"What building?"
"It's a super building built to cope with the population swelling." Shi Qiang gestured, "It's all skyscrapers. There are apartments, businesses, shopping malls, and even parks. If you want, you can never go out of the building for the rest of your life. β
"Can I spend my whole life in the building?"
"Hmm. There is a performance artist who is leading by example and has been doing so for 3 years. β
"For the rest of my life, in the building." Cheng Quan, "What's the difference between that and prison?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"At least in prison, there is still activity time every day." There was a hint of remembrance in Chengquan's cloudy pupils, "And I'm there...... There are more friends than outside. β
".................." Shi Qiang didn't know what to say.
If he hadn't come to pick it up today, I'm afraid it would have been possible for him to turn around and jump into the river directly.
In order to cheer up Chengquan, Shi Qiang patted him and said, "Child, don't you want to see your child?" That guy is more hanging than you were back then, and has more assets than your dad did when he was in his glory. β
"......" Chengcheng's head was buried deeply, "They don't want to see me...... I ......"
"......" Shi Qiang was a little sour, "Don't you even have the courage to look at the child from afar?" β
"I ...... I ...... "consummation" has changed from utter rampant to utter cowardice.
"And your ex-wife, who is now a film giant, one of the top ten film companies in the world. Now there are four in the United States, and the remaining six are ours, and your ex-wife's company is one of them. Shi Qiang encouraged, "Don't you want to see her?" β
"No...... Not ......"
Those lights are too dazzling, and Cheng Cheng is afraid that he will be hurt.
He's already had a lot of injuries.
", aren't you guys!" Shi Qiang got up angrily, "I'll take you, I'm here, they have to at least give me face." β
"No...... No...... I'm going back to jail. β
Shi Qiang pulled Chengquan into the car like this.
β¦β¦
"Is there anything you can't say on the phone? Do you want me to come back? A sturdy middle-aged man walked down the wide corridor with his waist stretched.
Another capable man in his early thirties smiled: "No way, chairman and chairman he. Mom has to ask you to come back. β
"Hey......" The middle-aged man still has a youthful aura, "Manager Yue!" Again, I'm retired! Let's play!! Lao Tzu's one-third of the world's tour is not completed, don't make trouble! β
"Forgive me...... Forgive me......" The man pressed on the glass door and led Lin Qiang in.
It's a large conference room with screens on the walls of participants connected via video from all over the world.
As the automatic doors opened, dozens of people in the conference room. Including hundreds of people in front of the screen, all of them stood up.
"President Lin'......"
"President Lin'......"
"Senpai."
Lin Qiang looked at this familiar place, and only swept around: "It's called Lao Lin, it's not the head of the bank for a long time." β
"Uncle Lin, don't say that." The young man sitting at the head of the conference room got up with a smile and greeted him, "Today is a historic moment, you must come." β
"This kid." Lin Qiang looked at the young man and smiled lightly, but he couldn't get angry, he only rubbed the young man's head. "I'm sitting here with just a few beards, and I'm bold enough. What else is history? β
"Huh! Uncle Lin, this time is really history. β
The young man was just over twenty, but he was about the same height as Lin Qiang, his face was about the same as Lin Qiang's, and his eyes were about the same as Lin Qiang's......
The participants all muttered an undeserved delusion......
The old and the young chatted in front of everyone, as if there was no one around.
"Is that Lin Qiang?" The young female manager in the corner asked softly, "You look crazy...... How can you be the same as an uncle in the slums......"
"Don't!" The elderly manager next to him hurriedly covered his mouth, "He created everything here......"
"I know he's a legend. He and Luo Yongsheng have almost written it in the textbook. The female manager frowned, "It's just ...... It doesn't look like the epic of a legend. β
"Hehe, it's different." The old manager smiled, "Now he is cooperating with our chairman's mother, Fei Pictures, to make a documentary about traveling around the world, and you think of him as a traveler." Adventurer, don't be a banker. You don't know how terrible he was when he was in charge of the bank......"
"It's all the ...... of the year," the female manager said. I really don't believe how powerful such an uncle was back then. β
"That's something you haven't seen, you haven't lived through that era." The old manager replied, "He almost ...... Skill...... Destroyed the old banking industry. Now brick-and-mortar banks have almost become antiques, online businesses take up the vast majority, and you can do anything online with just a brush of eye lines. β
"Isn't that normal? It must be like this, who would run the bank if the network is so convenient? β
"Hey......" The old manager knew that he couldn't communicate with the young man about this matter at all.
At this moment, Lin Qiang suddenly said in surprise: "All over? β
"Yes, it's all super." The young chairman nodded excitedly. "Bank of America, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Paris, we are all superb, and now Jijing Financial Street. It's enough to be on par with Wall Street. β
"It's a historic moment." Lin Qiang scratched his head and smiled stupidly, "But what does it have to do with me?" β
The faces of the audience were full of embarrassment.
"It's not all you!!" The young man slapped Lin Qiang hard, "So the highest seat to listen to the financial report this quarter, including the press conference after that, you have to come!" β
"Don't, if it's the press conference of "Old Friends Globe", I'll still attend, forget about the bank." Lin Qiang refused, "You guys are busy, I have to go, I know that when I go back to Jijing, a few old friends are still waiting for me to drink." β
"Drink and wait! Listen to the earnings report!! β
"Drink!"
In Lin Qiang's eyes, the bank is all a big thing, and seeing old friends is real. Although he is nearly 50 years old, his physique is still not lost, and with a dodge, he left the full conference room and fled away.
"You're back!!" The boy chased after him, "Don't give me this face!" β
"You earn face! Press conference of the world's largest bank, here you go! β
"But I didn't do anything!!"
"You're doing a great job!"
The two chased all the way, Lin Qiang was not like a teenager after all, and was caught at the elevator entrance.
After the young man looked around, he whispered: "Dad, you really don't go to the press conference?" This has been the dream of generations, including Lo Wing-sang......"
"Don't call me Dad......" Lin Qiang rubbed the young man's head and said softly, "Xiaoqiang, I'm tired enough, life is short, and the rest of the time should be played." β
"Hey......" Cheng Xiaoqiang shook his head helplessly, "I knew it would be like this...... Actually, it's something else to call you back this time. β
"What?"
"Chengquan is out of prison."
βοΌοΌ Isn't there still a few years left? β
"He did well and his sentence was commuted."
Lin Qiang is a person who will not lie to children, and even if those lies are well-intentioned, they may affect the child's life. So not long after Cheng Xiaoqiang became sensible, he and Tong Feifei told the child everything. Whoever his father is, and who is perfected. In the past 20 years, although Lin Qiang and Cheng Xiaoqiang have no father and son names, they have father and son, and their relationship is extremely harmonious.
So in the eyes of Cheng Xiaoqiang, the man he has never met and is named Chengquan. It has always been a heart disease, an imaginary enemy, a demon who will suddenly appear and take everything away.
"Will he come here to make trouble?" Cheng Xiaoqiang frowned and thought hard, "Do I want to call that person's father?" β
"No, don't worry." Lin Qiang said with a smile, "I've said it 100 times, that's not a thing, people only look at the present, he is already an antique and a specimen." Nothing can be done. β
"I ...... Including my mother, I still don't feel at ease,......" Cheng Xiaoqiang sighed, "So I called you back this time, in case something happens." β
"No in case." Lin Qiang stepped onto the elevator, "I'll do it." β
"It's going to be done!"
"Panic, the chairman can't be seen by others like this." Lin Qiang waved goodbye.
β¦β¦
The car drove down the street, completing all the knowledge of the age.
"Why do you think something is missing?" Cheng Quan swept the streets and muttered.
"I think there's something more." Shi Qiang still smokes an old-fashioned cigarette.
"Wait......" Cheng Cheng still gave a high-five. Bank! What about those banks?? Usually there are several banks on one street! β
"Huh." Shi Qiang said with a smile, "Now that banks are online, there are very few people who have the heart to engage in entities." β
"All of them? Hundreds of banks are online? β
"There aren't hundreds. Most were eliminated. Shi Qiang pondered, "I can name it, but there are only three or five......
"What about Union Bank?"
"It's long gone." Shi Qiang waved his hand and said, "Later, the president was caught for corruption, a large number of bad debts, Bank of America withdrew, and the bank was basically finished. β
"Where's Jijing Bank?"
"Jijing Bank...... "Shi Qiang is embarrassed." This one...... Do you know what Lin Qiang went to? β
"Yes." Cheng Quan, nodded and said, "Captain Shi, I don't mean anything else. I just want to understand the world. You see, I'm like this now, what else can I do? β
"Alas...... Don't feel sorry for yourself. Shi Qiang then said, "After Lin Qiang of Jijing Bank became the owner, he began to cooperate with Weixin to develop Internet banking, of course, it was not called Internet banking in that era, and he did not dare to call it Internet banking." That year, there was a lot of noise, and finally the leaders above came forward to stop some business. The matter was put on hold for the time being. But two years later, the central government changed its leadership and suddenly encouraged these things, and later, as the shouts of 'freedom and equality' became louder and louder, the Internet bank, a joint venture between Weixin and Jijing Bank, suddenly jumped out. Almost everything can be done in an online bank, which doesn't even need a business hall, just the occasional self-service machine and information center. Later, the eyeprint technology began to popularize, and the online bank could do all the business completely, with the follow-up automation achieved, the original pedantic old people passed away, everyone no longer needed to go to the bank business hall, a large number of tellers were unemployed, and the physical banking industry ushered in the twilight ......"
Cheng Quan swallowed and spit, listening to Shi Qiang say these things in a reasonable tone, which shocked him a lot.
Shi Qiang casually opened the radio, which happened to be hyping the news that "We-Bank (Micro-Bank)" was promoted to the world's largest bank, and the anchor's tone was very excited-
"This is a historic moment! Following the economy! Culture! After the Internet and other industries! Our financial industry has finally overtaken the United States, and now we are the world's largest economy! β
Cheng Quanmu asked, "We've ...... it."
"Hey, in fact, it has already caught up with the United States three years ago, and it is only a matter of time before the financial industry surpasses it, after all, the banks of the United States have been operating for many years, and they have the world's property in them. But now, we also have almost all the world's assets, and our online banking is also doing well abroad. β
The prosperity of the motherland should be a good thing, but it was difficult for Cheng Cheng to rejoice, and he asked instead: "Is he in charge of that we-bank?" β
"Hehe, it's not a long time ago." Shi Qiang comforted Xin and smiled, "That kid will go around the world after he is stable!" Now it's your son who is in charge! Bank shares, your son is on par with Luo Lao Fox! β
"My son." Cheng Quan's eyes finally flashed with a hint of hope, "He...... Did he succeed? β
"Sort of." Shi Qiang continued to comfort, "When Lin Qiang let go, Weiyin wasn't so powerful, you see. In just a few years, he has become the number one in the world, although this is the general trend, at least your son has done nothing wrong. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I'm sorry......" Shi Qiang was a little embarrassed, "After I retire, I don't like to talk without my brain." β
"It's fine." Cheng Qiang let out a long sigh, "It's me who did something wrong, if I didn't do that." What happens now? β
"Cheng Gongzi, don't think about it."
At this time, another message came from the broadcast: "It was revealed that Lin Qiang would have appeared at the We-Bank press conference, but he left in a hurry after the bank appeared, which means that Lin Qiang should have returned to Beijing, and at the same time, Fei Pictures released the news that there will be a fan meeting of "Old Friends Globe" next week, and Lin Qiang will go!" β
"Oops! That stinky boy is back! Shi Qiang's expression was shocked. So I went to touch the phone.
"Don't ......" Cheng Qiang held him down, his eyes bloodshot, "What do you think...... Isn't that enough? β
"......" Shi Qiang shook his head, "That kid is very kind after retirement, don't you want to see him?" β
"Nope." Cheng Cheng shook his head, "You just need to." Let me take a look at my son from afar, my ex-wife is enough. β
"Hey......" Shi Qiang glanced at his watch, "I just said that the press conference will be held at the Financial Street Conference Center in half an hour." Let's get over there, we should be able to see your son." β
"Thank you......"
At this time, Lin Qiang was drinking a little wine with a group of old men, and he was very happy.
Knowing that he was back, the old friends were so anxious that they would be in a hurry, and they would favor one over the other after a meal, so everyone simply got together. The young waiter in the restaurant only thought that these old guys were too noisy to serve, but if he knew who they were, he would have fainted long ago.
Sit in the middle. It is Luo Yongsheng, whose reputation can almost be compared with "Bill Gates" and "Buffett", that succeeded. It is even called the old fox of Luo. At this time, he is nearly 70 years old, full of silver but still in good spirits, he still goes to the company every day to participate in every decision. This man once started by spraying piracy, once was sued for copyright at most 20 times at the same time, and was once hailed as a cancer in the industry, but time speaks for itself, and he is now a true legend.
The more reserved-looking old man next to him was the former auditor general of the National Audit Office, who led the reform of the country's auditing system and implemented the largest anti-corruption program in two decades. His legend does not stop there, he once personally handed over the audit data of his brother to the Commission for Discipline Inspection at the most glorious moment of his career, and this story of righteous annihilation of relatives is praised as an excellent example of the new era.
Another old man who looks thin with glasses, is the former chairman of the board of directors of China Commercial Bank, he is praised not only because of his banker ability, but also because of his keen insight, he led the China Commercial Bank, in addition to the micro bank is the fastest to invest in the wave of Internet banking, China Commercial Bank is extremely fast and agile to follow the pace of micro banking, completed the transformation, which makes it the second largest network bank in China, but also allows it to escape the fate of being eliminated.
In the innermost part, there was a real old man, with thinning hair but laughing all the time, he was over 80 years old, and what he did was hardly worth mentioning compared to the exploits of the others at the table.
Next to him was an even older man, perhaps 100 years old, who moved very neatly as if he were returning to the light.
The two old men didn't talk much, but they kept laughing and enjoying it very much.
At this table, there are no interests, no disputes, only friends and heroes, they talk about the past, talk about the future, sometimes even very naΓ―ve, what they say is almost incomprehensible to the people around them, but every word is full of wisdom and vicissitudes.
In the rise of this country, there are countless old people like this, and it is the hard work, hard work and reform of that generation that have created today's prosperity, and those real tumors have sunk to the bottom of the river of the times as if they were completed.
In the corner of the press conference, Cheng Quan glanced at his son from a distance, his son was tall, very spirited, like himself, which made Cheng Quan cry.
With such a father as himself, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see him.
If he thinks about it, he will definitely come to pick him up, and then hug himself and call Dad.
Son, I understand that it's all my fault.
Cheng Quan returned to Shi Qiang's car, covered his face, and burst into tears.
Regret, complete regret, regret that I never had in prison.
It's close at hand, but it's not recognizable. This is the greatest pain in life.
"Are you going to find Tong Feifei?" Shi Qiang patted Chengquan's shoulder and handed over the tissue, "She may not be so easy to find, but I am a criminal investigator, technical work, I can definitely find it if I want to find it." β
"No need...... Cheng Quanquan shook his head, "let me go back." β
"Hi. I told you, don't think about that. Shi Qiang shook his head and sighed, took out a clip from the drawer of the car, and took out an ancient check that was difficult to see, "I won't tease you, this is for you." β
"This ......" Cheng Quan looked down at the check, this time he didn't count, and asked directly, "How much?" β
"Two hundred million. More than you had when you were in prison. Shi Qiang pressed the check, "A lot of things have long passed, that kid asked me to give it to you." β
"......" Cheng Cheng must know who "that kid" is.
"The kid said that he had fought with many people for a long time, and when he finally achieved his goal, he would return them." Shi Qiang shook his head. "I don't understand anyway, it's a good thing anyway, take the money. It's enough for you to retire comfortably. β
Cheng Cheng didn't expect that in the end, he would need Lin Qiang's help to get by.
He smiled slightly, not so miserable, full of relief.
The world has forgotten me, and you still think of me.
He then shredded the check.
"You ......" Shi Qiang looked at the fragments distressedly, "Don't give it to me!" Buy my grandson a house and get married! β
Cheng Quan, then leaned to the side and snatched Shi Qiang's handbag.
"What?" Shi Qiang asked.
"Robbery." Cheng Cheng said with a smile.
ββ¦β¦β
"Send me back, I've sinned."
ββ¦β¦β
"Really. Captain Shi, the outside doesn't belong to me, I'm under a lot of pressure here. I've seen my son, and that's enough. Chengquan smiled kindly, like a most ordinary uncle, "Let me go back, it's really comfortable to be a prisoner now, regular work and rest every day, regular labor." β
"Hey............" Shi Qiang sighed.
A generation of pride in the sky, I don't know how to judge this fate.
At this moment, everyone is on their own path.
Zheng Shuai and Mo Xijun both went to the United States, they are the main force of micro banks and Lao Mei to grab business, they have done very well in the past few years, and they have lived very well, their son even soaked a golden retriever girl! In this era, high-end Chinese entrepreneurs like them are treated in the United States as well as foreign executives who were once in China.
Lin Xiaozao became the director of all the physical centers of Weiyin, even though he was in his forties, he did not marry, and only worked wholeheartedly.
Xiao Xiao took office as the director of the customer service center, pointing to the east and west, and still making trouble.
Hu Xiao resigned from her position in the Ministry of Public Security and married a businessman like her sister.
Qian was released from prison and got a position in the WeChat entity center, which was of course introduced by Lin Qiang, who was once an excellent banker and became an ordinary account manager, but he enjoyed himself.
Ling Lele did not invest in the banking industry, because when she graduated, the traditional banking industry was in the twilight, and she didn't like to do this kind of thing by taking refuge in Lin Qiang, and finally she became a national public official and entered the newly established "Network Financial Management Association".
Liu Ming lies on the golden sand beach of Australia, drinking champagne. No one knows him, but he played an unimaginable role in the largest and most thorough anti-money laundering and anti-corruption operation more than a decade ago. At that time, as the backbone of the underground bank, he secretly handed over the accounts of all the money-laundering corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen in China to Ling Chen, the deputy auditor general of the Audit Administration, which made Ling Chen almost get a super plug-in, and smashed the anthill with a momentum like a bamboo. Liu Ming is a walker in the dark, and he chooses to fight violence with violence. In the darkness of the night, he completed his greatest collaboration with his old boss.
Sun Xiaomei was finally revoked from his lawyer's license because of several unscrupulous behaviors, he had to auction off his various playthings to repay the loan, and finally had to join a law firm as an assistant in order to make a living. The female boss of this office would smile and give him two servings of sweet tofu brain every morning, which made Sun Xiaomei worse than dead.
Gou Er went incognito, went back to his hometown to make a piece of land, farmed it, and enjoyed himself. Unlike the other old men, he had regrown his black hair, and the devil knows how long he would live.
In addition to them, there are many people, many things.
The times have made them, and they have created the times.
A week later, Lin Qiang attended the fan meeting of "Old Friends Worldwide", and his wife, daughter, including Tong Feifei, the chairman of Fei Pictures, also attended the event, and everyone talked about the troubles and jokes around the world.
At the end of the program, the young host asked: "Uncle Lin, you have been to the North Pole, the South Pole, the glacier and the volcano, we all want to know, where is your final destination?" β
"The world is big, you can't let footprints spill all over every corner." Lin Qiang hugged his wife and smiled calmly, "You are so annoying, the final destination of people must be the coffin board!" β
The audience burst into laughter.
At the moment when Lin Qiang retired, Qian Yan also left, Lin Qiang completed the task given to him by God, he knew that he was just a mortal, after handing in his homework, it was time to play, and play to death.
(End of the play)
