Chapter 37: The Second Uncle's Gift
Shi Ting said: "I have been thinking about one thing since last night, when my great-grandfather was two brothers who crossed Taiwan together, and the villa opposite was built by his younger brother. The well is between two families, and I think they should know something about it, they have lived there for twenty years and suddenly disappeared, and I will check it this time. ”
I was very encouraged by his words, and if I could find that line, the possibility of gathering some information would be greatly increased.
We asked a classmate who was in the mobile phone business to buy four Xiaomi mobile phones, and asked him to get us four anonymous cards, and the four of us each opened a new WeChat with a new number, and then formed a group, Shi Ting sneered and said, "I see how they still spy on me." ”
When I went on vacation, I originally took my father's laptop with me, thinking that I could study it slowly, but I didn't have a chance to take it out for the past two days.
When I got home, I took it out and studied it for more than an hour, but I still didn't have a clue, so I simply threw it down and went downstairs to eat with Jiang He.
During the meal, I suddenly remembered that the letters Jiang He wrote to me had not been found, and then remembered my father's big shelf of books, maybe I should go through all my father's things, maybe I will gain something.
When I got home, I took down my father's books one by one and flipped through them carefully, and Jiang He also helped, because she didn't understand semiotics, and I asked her to show me any marks she saw when she looked through them.
We flipped through the middle of the night and didn't find Jiang He's letter, nor did we find any suspicious hints in the book. My father made up his mind to break off friendship with the Jiang family, I think it should be that he didn't plan to leave Jiang He's letter from the beginning, and it is likely that he will deal with it directly. As for hoping for any hints left in the books, it seems too unreliable, and it would be a delay if I didn't turn to those books for the rest of my life.
I found a collection of Buddhist scriptures in some books that I hadn't touched for a long time, and it looked like a gift from the temple, which my grandmother brought back from some temple when she was alive. This gave me a flash of inspiration, I quickly looked through the table of contents, and sure enough, there was the "Huayan Sutra", and I was excited to find the verse about "Po Shan Po Yan Di", but I didn't find anything unusual when I looked at it.
Jiang He suggested that I take a good look at the whole collection, maybe I can find something. This is a beginner's booklet, familiar with the past scriptures, and I found sporadic notes in some passages, and the handwriting is very childish. My grandmother is illiterate, and I know that this is left by the Night Wanderer, and his knowledge of Buddhism may have come from this booklet in the first place.
My father should not have read Buddhist scriptures, and after going through so many things, I consciously thought about why my father used that Buddhist scripture as a mantra for the first time, was it by accident or influenced by my grandmother or the night wandering god? But now that the parties are gone, there is no way to verify it.
As for the mantra, I don't see its practical value more and more, maybe my father's preventive design is still problematic, once something is missed, there is no solution.
Anyway, my illness has been cured, and it doesn't matter much to me whether or not to solve the puzzle, but it can satisfy Jiang He's desire to explore the roots.
Jiang He was also tired enough, and the result was also very discouraged, so he took a bath and slept and continued to think of a way tomorrow.
The next day, after breakfast, I took the medicine handed over by Jiang He and held my notebook in a daze. Jiang He said: "Don't worry, close your eyes and filter the cryptography knowledge you know in your mind, don't be the same as at the beginning, patronizing the interface to enter passwords inside and outside the computer." ”
I shook my head and sighed: "You misunderstood cryptography, it is not forensics, bone groping, and fortune telling. Playing with passwords is like Mr. Ledger, playing with some symbols and numbers to find out the patterns, and then cracking the hidden information. We just can't find a place where we can apply cryptography right now. With this spell in my hand now, I can't tell whether it's a code that has been deciphered to be used, or a piece of information that is waiting to be deciphered. ”
My father didn't have many personal belongings left, and according to the customs of his hometown, his clothes and other personal items were burned at the funeral, and I went through the valuable things I left behind, but I still couldn't find anything.
Jiang He said: "Since you are in trouble, don't continue, it's not urgent to crack it now, maybe this notebook left for you is for other purposes, and you may naturally know it when the time comes." ”
I had to say, "That's what my dad said at the time, so let's wait." ”
Jiang He said: "Ask Shi Ting if he has any clues, if we have time, we can go to Xinjiang first." ”
I sent a WeChat message to Shi Ting, and he replied to me angrily: "You treat me as an immortal, how long has it been?" ”
I remembered that my second uncle had nothing to do with me two days ago, and if I went to Xinjiang, it would be ten days and half a month, and I couldn't always disappear for no reason, so I made a phone call and made an appointment with my second uncle to go to his factory in the afternoon.
The second uncle Lou Anbang is two years younger than my father, and he started his business after graduating from high school, and now he has been stumbling and climbing for more than 30 years.
In the 80s, the so-called entrepreneurship in southern Fujian was nothing more than relying on overseas connections to set up factories, processing or smuggling. The second uncle chose the fastest way to get money, so he went in and squatted twice in prison. Anyway, after stumbling and saving enough funds, he began to engage in processing with supplied materials, relying on the convenience of overseas Chinese to do some stationery production in Southeast Asia. After several rounds of business reshuffle, from OEM processing to self-created brands, and then expanding business to sporting goods, the second uncle gradually opened up the situation in the industry, and he can be regarded as a well-known local entrepreneur.
The second uncle's factory is in an industrial area outside the island, and I drove for nearly an hour to get there. As soon as I entered the factory gate, I saw the second uncle with a few people, gesturing in the yard, and after seeing my car, he dismissed those people and walked over slowly.
Jiang He and I got out of the car to greet me, he was stunned when he saw my bald head, and when he saw Jiang He, he was stunned again, and asked me, "Girlfriend?" I nodded noncommittally, the second uncle patted me on the shoulder and laughed, Jiang He called the second uncle very obediently.
The second uncle waved his hand, took me to the place where he was standing just now, pointed to an empty space facing the door and said: "I went to Guangzhou to hold an order fair this time, and I was inspired to live in the hotel of China Normal University. ”
After my second uncle attended a seminar last year, he began to pay special attention to building a corporate culture, and out of support for me, he gave me this task. I have come up with several sets of plans, and he chose the highest plan, that is, to try to make his enterprise on par with the central enterprises.
Until my father fell ill, I did put a lot of effort into helping him pack, anyway, the second uncle would never understand that it is not necessarily a good thing for a company to really form a culture, and I don't think he really wanted to create any culture, so I followed his will and helped him cover up the embarrassment of his reckless background.
Thinking of the pillar at the gate of Jiangchen Company, I immediately agreed with the second uncle's idea: "This can be well designed, to make a Confucius with both a sense of modernity and a sense of history, it is best to ask the leader to write an inscription and combine it into the design." ”
The second uncle praised this suggestion and continued to dream about it for a while, and then let us go to the office for tea.
Jiang He asked me quietly on the road: "What does it mean to have both a sense of modernity and a sense of history?" ”
I said, "It's black and white." ”
Along the way, I pointed out the corporate propaganda I made to Jiang He, and Jiang He smiled and said nothing.
The secretary at the door is very solemn, the professional suit is very neat, and the original little slut has been replaced, and I am very satisfied with this.
The second uncle's office was very large, so I asked him to remove all the tea sets that were originally carved from the tree and replace them with decent leather sofas and coffee tables. A coffee machine, tea set, and drinks are set up in one corner of the office, and the secretary can come in if necessary.
Of course, a flag must be erected behind the boss's desk. A set of mahogany incense utensils on the table, sandalwood and agarwood are the best, and in the same mahogany frame is a photo of my cousin when she was a child, reflecting the stability and love of an entrepreneur.
After sitting down, the secretary came in and poured coffee, and the second uncle and I chatted about the statue for a while, and I promised to find someone to design it and publish it as soon as possible. Then the second uncle pointed to my bald head and said, "You have been fine lately, young people don't make trouble, you will be stained once you go in for a lifetime." ”
I found a reason to be confused, and the second uncle took out a box from the drawer, handed it to me, and said, "Some time ago, the bank called me and said that your father's safe had expired, and I went to get it to see if it was this thing, and there was a note asking me to give this to you." ”
Jiang He and I were both in good spirits, took it and opened it to see that it was a U shield-like thing, and I asked the second uncle: "There are no other letters or anything like that?" ”
The second uncle said: "No, at first I thought your father had a small treasury, and I wondered why I didn't contact you to get it, what is this thing for?" I plugged into my computer and there was no response, and there was no content in it. ”
I'll be honest: "I don't know. ”
After saying goodbye to the second uncle, we went straight home. It seems that my father has set up double insurance, and it is useless for anyone to get the notebook in my name, and I must have the U shield of the second uncle, in fact, it is just to prevent Jiang Feng, and I am now running around with Jiang Feng's daughter for this. Good intentions are sometimes quite helpless.
This is not the kind of U shield of the bank application,But the principle is similar,The notebook and the U disk are bound at the bottom layer,After inserting the U disk, all the operating systems have exited,Enter the very primitive DOS-like early computer interface,Completely isolated from external factors such as the network,Fortunately, the mouse can still be used。
Jiang He: "The security level of this kind of thing is very high, how can Daddy Lou have such a thing." ”
I said, "Have you forgotten that he went to work for the NSA after he changed jobs?" ”
The computer flashed a few times, but it was still running, Jiang He asked me again: "Do you think Boss Su is also from the national security system?" ”
I shook my head: "It shouldn't be, the Ministry of State Security is a serious organ of the state, it is completely open to the public, and it is not a secret department, that Miss Su mentioned my father, and she didn't care, and she didn't show any attitude of being out of the same family." Her secret department, I'm afraid it means something else. ”
At this time, the system entered a simple graphical operation interface, and a Chinese word list popped up.
