Chapter 546: Success Belongs Only to Those Who Are Prepared
It was Saturday, and the family was eating dinner around the long dining table, chatting about topics of interest while eating, and when they were almost halfway through eating, Gu Chen looked at Gu Yinxi, who was sitting next to Liu Huiyun, and asked, "Xiaoxi, what is your brother, that is, Jianwu doing now?" ”
Gu Yinxi didn't know why Gu Chen asked this for no reason: "My father and uncle opened a transportation company, mainly to deliver materials to the Tang Dynasty Iron and Steel Company, my brother should be helping in the company, but he doesn't seem to be interested in doing business." ”
This transportation company was opened shortly before the Tang Dynasty Iron and Steel Company was officially put into production, and the funds naturally came from Gu Chen, or Gu Xiahua. At the same time, he also opened a transportation company by Gu Chenjian. Of course, whether to open a transportation company or not is up to Gu Zhennan and Gu Zhenjun to decide.
Gu Chen asked suspiciously: "It's better to do business than to farm in the countryside." Besides, he is also a high school student, and now the gold content of high school students in the mainland is still quite high, don't you think it's a pity to go farming? Or is he interested in something else? ”
"When he graduated from high school, he returned to the village because he was not admitted to university, and he originally planned to join the army, but my father refused to let him go, saying that he was only a son, and if he went to join the army, he would not be the last to die, so he didn't talk to my dad for a long time."
Since the outbreak of China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam at the end of the 70s, the conflict with Vietnam has never been broken, if Gu Jianwu joins the army, who knows if he will be sent to the battlefield, no wonder Gu Zhenjun does not let him join the army, otherwise with Gu Jianwu's high school education, he may have something to do in the army. You must know that the gold content of high school students in this era will definitely not be lower than that of master's students in the 21st century.
Gu Chen didn't expect Gu Jianwu to be so interested in joining the army, but it was in his arms, and it saved him from having to spend more time convincing. He smiled slightly and said, "Now I'll give him a chance, I plan to send him to study at West Point in the United States, what do you mean by asking him and your father." ”
Although the formation of the internal guard force has not yet been decided, and it may even be just a joy for him in the end, there is a good saying that success belongs only to those who are prepared. If you have to wait until it's finalized to start preparing, it's probably too late.
So he has already begun to plan specific matters, such as preparing candidates to be arranged into the army. These candidates must be trustworthy, and the most trustworthy is undoubtedly his relatives, at least the blood relationship makes the two sides inherently have an indelible connection, so he thought of those relatives who are far away on the mainland. Although these relatives are just cousins. But it should also be far closer than ordinary people.
Especially Gu Zhenjun's family, because of Gu Yinxi's relationship, the two families are relatively closer. However, this is only the secondary reason why Gu Chen chose Gu Jianwu, Gu Jianwu himself has a high school education, and he is kind-hearted, and not thinking so much is the main reason, compared to Gu Zhennan's son Gu Jianfeng's mind is more ghostly, this kind of person is usually more suitable for business.
Of course. Gu Jianwu was only one of the candidates, and Bush Jr. got him a total of three places at West Point. The other two are still under consideration.
"Okay, why do you want to send Jianwu to study in the United States, or a military academy?" Liu Huiyun asked suspiciously, and everyone else looked at Gu Chen with the same expression, only He Chaoqiong might have eaten something from He Hongsen, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Yes, Jianwu is very good now, as long as he is willing to work hard, it is more than enough to live a rich life in the future. Although the United States Military Academy at West Point is good, it is a military academy, do you want Jianwu to study there because you plan to let him join the army? Is it the People's Liberation Army of the mainland? ”
Old Man Gu also didn't understand what kind of medicine Gu Chen's gourd was selling, but it could be heard from his tone that he didn't quite approve of Gu Jianwu's joining the army, and he seemed to have a lot of criticism about the People's Liberation Army, which may be related to his military experience when he was young.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not asking Jianwu to join the People's Liberation Army, I can't say what it is now, you will know later. Xiaoxi, you can call your dad later, tell him what I mean, if you don't want to, forget it, it's not bad to do business, if he and Jianwu are willing, let Jianwu prepare well, and leave for the United States before school starts next year. ”
"Oh." Gu Chen said so, and Gu Yinxi could only suppress the doubts in his stomach. After dinner, she called her home in the mainland......
Due to the needs of business, Gu Zhennan and Gu Zhenjun moved to live in Ningbo City since the establishment of the transportation company.
Because of the appointment a long time ago, after Gu Jianwu finished the company, he drove his Santana car to take his girlfriend to dinner, according to the plan, the two of them were going to the cinema to watch a movie after dinner, as for what to do after the movie, he also wanted to do something, but the two have been dating for less than two months now, he just wants to do something, and the girls will definitely not agree, maybe they will think he is a hooligan.
Speaking of fate, this kind of thing is really amazing, about two months ago, their family and Gu Zhennan's family set up a transportation company according to Gu Chen's construction, in addition to hiring more than a dozen drivers, they also recruited a few clerks, because the clerks were not recruited by Gu Jianwu, so who were recruited, he didn't know, until the second day of the company's official opening, he found out that one of them was his high school classmate.
Not only that, this classmate is also the object of his crush in high school, he has graduated for so many years, and he has long forgotten the ignorant feelings at the beginning, and now he meets again, and seeing that the other party has become more mature and beautiful than in high school, his heart is suddenly alive, plus he is no longer what it used to be, and his self-confidence from the heart made him pursue it without hesitation.
As a result, it took less than a week for the two to officially establish a relationship, and then Gu Jianwu knew that the other party was also secretly in love with him in high school, if Gu Jianwu had the courage to confess to her, maybe the two would have been together a long time ago. But this is also the conjecture of the two when they are sweet, China in the 80s is different from the 21st century, in the 21st century, it is normal for high school students to fall in love, even teachers are used to it, even if it is **, there is nothing to make a fuss about. But in the feudal and conservative 80s, a high school student falling in love was definitely a big rebellion in the eyes of teachers and parents, and the consequences were not ordinary strict zhòng.
Getting back to the point, Gu Jianwu and his girlfriend finished dinner and were about to go to the cinema, when the eldest brother suddenly rang, he picked it up and listened, it was from the family: "Mom, what's the matter...... Oh...... Xiaoling and I were going to the movies...... All right...... I'll go back right ......."
Hu Xiaoling asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
"My mother told me to go back immediately, saying that my sister had called back from Hong Kong and had something important to tell me." After the relationship was formally established, Gu Jianwu told Hu Xiaoling about his background relationship, because if nothing else, the two would definitely get married.
Hu Xiaoling said understandingly: "Then you go back quickly, I'll just take a ride back by myself." ”
"My mother asked you to sit at home, and I'll send you back later."
Hu Xiaoling said with some hesitation: "This is not good, and I didn't prepare anything, so I went to your house like this......"
"It's not that I don't know, what's wrong, so be it, I'll send you back later." After speaking, Gu Jianwu started the car and drove home. After a few minutes, the car drove into an apparently newly built complex. After parking the car, Gu Jianwu pulled the somewhat restrained Hu Xiaoling into Building D, went directly to the fifth floor, and then used the key to open a door on the right side of the staircase.
"Xiaoling is here, come in and sit." Seeing Hu Xiaoling coming in, Gu Jianwu's mother Zhao Liliang immediately got up and greeted warmly.
"Uncle and aunt are bothered."
"What's the bother, sit down."
"Xiaoling doesn't have to be polite, just treat it as if she was in her own home." Gu Zhenjun also said with a smile, he was still very satisfied with this well-behaved and beautiful future daughter-in-law: "Liliang, didn't Xiaoxi just send back some juice a few days ago, take it out." ”
"yes, how did I forget." Saying that, Zhao Liliang got up and walked to the kitchen, Hu Xiaoli saw it, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't be busy." ”
"Not busy, not busy." After a while, Zhao Liliang brought a few bottles of iron canned drinks, all of which were in English, and some fruit patterns were printed.
At this time, Gu Jianwu opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, didn't you say that you had something urgent to tell me?" ”
Gu Zhenjun glanced at Hu Xiaoling and said, "Xiaoling is just here, wait for the two of you to discuss it later, just now your sister called and said that Ah Chen plans to send you to study at West Point Military Academy in the United States, I heard that it is one of the most famous senior military academies in the world." ”
"U.S. Military Academy at West Point?" Gu Jianwu was heavily shocked, although the news on the mainland is now blocked, he has studied in high school, and he still knows West Point Military Academy, or in other words, there is no military enthusiast who does not know West Point Military Academy: "Did Xiao Xi say why did Ah Chen send me to study abroad?" ”
"She didn't know why, she just asked me what I meant with you, Ah Chen is a person who does big things, and he must have his intentions in doing this."
"What do you mean, Dad?"
"In the past, I didn't let you join the army because my family had no power or power, and it was difficult to have a good future if I joined the army, and I was worried about whether you would be sent to fight. Now that Ah Chen is planning for you, it must be different from before. So I'm okay with that, it's up to you. (To be continued......)
