ended the trip to Phoenix Satellite TV, and the next morning, Chen Lin first sent Zhang Lei back to his hometown in Northeast China to gather his old comrades-in-arms, and then went to Shenzhen to meet with Qi Gongzi to discuss the affairs of the foundation.

"Salute!" As soon as he saw Qi Gongzi at the Shenzhen port, he lined up with the three soldiers to salute Chen Lin, and then solemnly said: "Comrade Chen Lin, on behalf of my comrades-in-arms, I thank you for your donation. ”

"Oh, Xiao Xuan, what are you doing here, a few comrades of the People's Liberation Army?" Chen Lin was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly waved his hand to show that he could accept this kind of courtesy.

"Once the Foundation's affairs are implemented, many comrades-in-arms will benefit, and you should pay this respect." Qi Gongzi praised: "Brother Lin, you are a good man, my sister is really not wrong." ”

Saying that, Qi Gongzi invited Chen Lin to get into the car, and when the car started, he said something that surprised Chen Lin lightly: "Brother Lin, my old man is very interested in the affairs of the foundation, and said that he wants to meet you, and I will take you to meet his old man now." ”

"it!" Chen Lin almost jumped up in the car when he heard this.

Who is the old man? It is Qi Xuan's grandfather, the commander of the Guangzhou*zhou Military Region, the seven major military regions in the country, and a dignified general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops and holds the power of life and death.

Speaking of which, Chen Lin can be regarded as having seen a lot of big names, and the biggest official is Chen Tianhua, secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, but when he heard that Qi Xuan's grandfather wanted to see him, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

This is a general, alas, although the secretary of the provincial party committee is also a feudal official, at least the common people can often see it on TV, but how many senior generals in the army can have a chance to see it?

Chen Lin has never been a soldier, and in his eyes, the army itself is mysterious, not to mention that he is still a figure like a general, it is difficult for him to imagine what kind of demeanor Rong Ma has been in commanding thousands of troops and horses all his life, cooking wine and ordering the river.

After an hour of driving, the military vehicle turned into a farmer's dirt and stone path, and an ordinary farmhouse courtyard appeared in front of him at the end of the path.

"Xiao Qi, what are you taking me to the farmer's house. Is it difficult for the old man to live here? Chen Lin was puzzled when he saw the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

In his imagination, shouldn't the old man live in the legendary big courtyard that is heavily guarded and forbidden for idlers to enter? How could it be in the middle of nowhere?

"Hehe, the old man usually lives in the army, and he will come here to live when he has free time on weekends, he likes the life in the countryside very much, and he always said that after retirement, he will be a farmer here." Qi Xuan explained with a smile.

That's right! Chen Lin nodded to show that he understood, the car stopped outside the yard, he took a deep breath, tried not to be nervous, and got out of the car.

Fences, dirt. Weed.

This is an ordinary farmhouse, and only when Chen Lin walks into the house does he feel a little different.

The room was too clean, the tables and windows were clean, and everything was neatly and meticulously arranged.

In the backyard, Chen Lin saw Qi Xuan's grandfather, the old man is 65 years old this year, full of red light and full of energy. He wears a straw hat and a very modest outfit. Holding a hoe and planting vegetables.

To tell the truth, the old man's simple peasant costume made Chen Lin look dumbfounded, if he met someone outside who didn't know how to kill him, he wouldn't believe that this old man was a general.

Secretary Chen Tianhua also looks amiable on the surface, but Chen Lin can still see the temperament of a superior person in Secretary Chen, but the old man in front of him is dressed as a peasant, and he really can't see any difference from the elders of Chenjia Village.

"Grandpa. Brother Lin, I brought it. Qi Xuan led Chen Lin to the old man and called obediently, and Chen Lin also hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, okay." ”

"Well, Xiaolin is here!" The old man glanced back at Chen Lin. Then I continued to grow vegetables.

Chen Lin and Qi Xuan didn't say anything more and watched the old man grow vegetables, only to see that the old man first dug a small pit in the ground with a hoe, and then grabbed a few vegetable seeds and put them into the pit. Sprinkle a little more fertilizer, and add the pit to the last one, this series of actions The old man is very skillful.

After 1 minute, the old man turned around and smiled at Chen Lin after burying a pit: "Xiaolin, you can grow vegetables, there is a hoe here, you can help me, otherwise this vegetable will not be planted at once." ”

"It's good." Chen Lin came from the countryside, of course, he knew how to grow vegetables, and he picked up a hoe on the side to help.

However, knowing how to plant does not mean that planting is good, although Chen Lin is a rural baby, he rarely works at home, not to mention that the action is rusty, and the planting is not right.

No, he went down with a hoe to dig a deep pit, and was about to grab a large handful of seeds and throw them in when the old man stopped him: "Hey, hey, it's not like this." You see that you dig too deep in this pit, generally 10 centimeters deep is enough, and you have at least 20 seeds in this handful, don't put so much, 3-5 seeds are enough. ”

Chen Lin stuck out his tongue, filled in the hole, and started over, whether this will be the key to mastering the action, or is it obvious that it is rusty and slow, the old man shook his head and scolded with a smile when he saw this: "You kid, you are embarrassed to say that you are from the countryside, and you can't grow vegetables." ”

Chen Lin touched the back of his head and smirked twice, but somehow he felt happy when he was scolded by the old man, and a trace of nervousness immediately disappeared.

"Xiao Xuan, don't stand aside and laugh, come here, I'll give you this hoe, and the rest will be planted by the two of you." At this time, the old man saw his little grandson standing aside and watching Chen Lin's jokes, so he handed him the hoe.

Qi Xuan did a lot of farm work under the influence of his grandfather, this was a piece of cake for him, he happily took his grandfather's hoe and worked with Chen Lin.

When he was working on the side, the old man and Chen Lin chatted about family life, and the old man mainly asked about the situation in Chen Lin's hometown, how many brothers and sisters there were, whether their parents were in good health, how the living conditions in the countryside were, and so on.

Time passed quickly while chatting, and after a while, the two finished planting the vegetables, and the old man nodded with satisfaction and beckoned the two to come into the house to rest.

Qi Xuan moved a stool to make tea for his grandfather and Chen Lin, and he looked like a good baby from beginning to end. The old man took a sip of tea and asked about the Foundation.

"Xiaolin, your idea of running this veterans' employment training fund is very good, it's rare that you, a child, can think of this." The old man looked at Chen Lin kindly and praised him.

When the old man heard his grandson talk about the foundation, he was very happy, because the placement of veterans every year, especially the placement of disabled soldiers, is a difficult problem for the army, and there are many places where there are few monks, and there are many veterans who need to be self-employed every year.

The old man knew that many veterans worked as security guards in factories, and their wages were lower than those of ordinary workers, and it was a little difficult to even support their families.

Not to mention that some disabled soldiers have a very difficult life after returning to their hometowns, although he is a dignified general, commanding troops to fight, but he is also powerless in this matter, the country's economy is still very difficult, military spending is insufficient, and his meager allowance is not enough.

The soldiers shed blood on the battlefield and shed tears after being discharged from the army, which is both helpless and very painful.

"Grandpa, you've won the prize." Chen Lin said with a smile: "My dream since I was a child is to be a soldier, and I also applied for the military school in my third year of high school, but unfortunately my physical fitness is not good enough and I was not admitted, so I admire the military very much, and now I am very proud to be able to do something for the soldier." ”

"En" The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Chen Lin what specific plans he had for the foundation.

"That's ......"

Chen Lin already had a plan in his heart, so he said it, he wanted Qi Xuan to take the lead in opening a security company, let veterans do security, and some people who were sick would serve as instructors and counselors.

In this way, one stone is two, first of all, it can accommodate the military, and secondly, the security industry is a thriving industry, and making money is not a problem.

100 million yuan seems like a lot, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in need of help across the country, so this money is a drop in the bucket, Chen Lin's idea is to make money with money, the foundation must be able to develop for a long time, continue to grow, and be able to help more and more soldiers This makes sense, otherwise it is not appropriate to simply send the money to the hands of the soldiers, and at the same time, many soldiers will not accept it.

If you use this money to run a business, and the business is run entirely by veterans, such as a security company, it can kill two birds with one stone, not only to help them, but also to reflect the spirit of not waiting and not relying on self-help.

"That's a good idea, I'm in favor of starting a security company." Qi Xuan agreed with Chen Lin's idea when he heard this. However, he quickly questioned again: "But army veterans are not a minority, how many people can be placed in a security company?" ”

"Hehe, Xiaoxuan, you don't know what to do, as our country's economy is getting more and more developed, there are more rich people, and there are more enterprises, and their demand for high-quality security services is getting bigger and bigger, as long as we become bigger and stronger, to become the largest security company in the country, and it should not be a problem to settle tens of thousands of people throughout the country. In addition, after the security company makes money, it can be used to invest in other industries, which can not be used to resettle a large number of personnel, so that a virtuous circle can be formed, and the problem of military resettlement can be greatly alleviated in less than three years," Chen Lin said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, great, I firmly support it, so it's decided, this security company must do it." Qi Xuan immediately became excited when he heard that he could resettle tens of thousands of people and effectively solve the problem of resettlement of veterans.

The old man was also very happy to hear it, but the old man was happy and quickly thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "Xiaolin, according to your assumption, the scale of the security company will expand rapidly, and there will be tens of thousands of veterans in less than three years, these tens of thousands of people are not ordinary people, but all military personnel who have undergone strict training, tens of thousands of soldiers are not a small force, Xiaolin, do you have other considerations." ”

That's right, tens of thousands of soldiers are quite the same as the strength of a strengthened group army, once this force is used, it is not trivial, will the state allow such a powerful civilian paramilitary force to exist? Qi Xuan also came to his senses immediately after hearing this. (To be continued......)
