Cheng Guangnian stood up and squeezed the cigar in the ashtray fiercely.

"The crew couldn't afford to pay their debts, so they had to come up with other ideas.

It was also a coincidence that a friend of Hong Kong's father bought a set of courtyard houses in the imperial capital at that time, more than 100,000 yuan.

This aroused the interest of many people in the circle of Hong Kong Ke's father.

At that time, the imperial capital had already begun to try the policy of free buying and selling of real estate as a pilot, but not everyone had the way to find a suitable courtyard house in the imperial capital.

As a result, the crew member said that the imperial capital can't buy it, so you can buy Wu Dong's. As a famous ancient capital in Chinese history, Wudong has a courtyard house similar to the imperial capital.

Anyway, he can't make money, if he can really facilitate such a deal, he won't want tens of thousands of yuan.

So the father of the Hong Kong passenger asked the crew to go to Wudong to find a suitable private house.

There is no evidence of how that crew member found your grandfather, and all in all, he coaxed your grandfather to sell our family's old mansion for 380,000 yuan.

The Hong Kong guest's father was restricted from leaving the country and could not leave Hong Kong Island, and according to the policy at the time, Hong Kong Island residents also had a lot of trouble buying mainland real estate, so they had to entrust the crew to facilitate the deal. ”

Cheng Yu frowned when he heard this, and said: "Three hundred and eighty thousand, the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and soft sister currency was around 0.6 back then, right? Isn't that more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars? That Hong Kong guest can rest assured that this guy will return to Wudong with more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars?"

Cheng Guangnian waved his hand and said, "Of course it's impossible."

At that time, it was a brother who was very trusted by the Hong Kong guest's father, who returned to the mainland first with the money and the home return permit, and waited for the crew to return with the ship in Wudong.

Your grandfather got the money and gave the other party all the deeds and title deeds.

At the same time, the two parties drew up a contract, saying that they would go through the transfer procedures for the property after 2,000 years.

I have to say that the father of the Hong Kong guest still has some brains, he saw that the imperial capital has gradually carried out the free sale of real estate, and knows that it is only a matter of time before other cities in China implement the same policy.

At the same time, no matter what, when 971 arrives and Hong Kong Island returns, it is unlikely that there will be many restrictions on Hong Kong people's real estate investment in the mainland as they did back then.

So your grandfather offered to wait until 2,000 years later, and they didn't raise any objections. ”

Cheng Yu was still frowning, and asked puzzledly: "Is it useful to just take the title deeds of the old society? What if grandpa doesn't admit it ten years later?"

"What do they do?

A member of the community, or a person who is restricted from leaving Hong Kong Island, guess how thick his file is in the anti-gang team of the Hong Kong Island Police Station?

Such a person will worry that your grandfather will not admit it in ten years?

At that time, they obviously didn't expect that the associations on Hong Kong Island would be so badly attacked by our party after the return of Hong Kong Island, and now it can be said that they exist in name only (don't correct this mistake, this is to highlight the core values). ”

Cheng Yu still shook his head slowly and said, "That courage is also quite big." ”

"After all, it's only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and you have nothing to fear, plus hundreds of thousands is not too much for you, and you want to have a domestic ancient house to brag about in the social circle. Later, the Hong Kong guest told me that just by nominally owning such an old house, their family would benefit far more than these hundreds of thousands in the social circle on Hong Kong Island. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and said in his heart that this barely made sense.

"You didn't investigate the crew, it shouldn't be hard to find someone, right?"

Cheng Guangnian said: "It's dead." ”

"How old is the crew?"

"It's about the same as me. ”

"Is this a multi-righteous act that will kill oneself?"

Cheng Guangnian snorted and said, "It's okay." He died on Hong Kong Island. ”

Du Changfeng couldn't help frowning, obviously, he guessed the truth.

"Killed by a Hong Kong Hakka?"

Cheng Guangnian nodded and said, "This matter, the other party has vaguely mentioned it, and they probably don't dare to make a noise about this kind of thing." But looking at the words and deeds of that Hong Kong guest, ninety-eight is not far from ten. ”

"Why? That crew member later owed them a lot of money?"

"It was the crew who lied to them.

380,000 soft sister coins, according to the price at the time, almost 630,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, they have never been to the mainland, so they do not know.

Although the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the soft sister currency at that time was only 0.6, the private exchange rate was actually about 0.8.

In other words, 630,000 Hong Kong dollars, if all of them are exchanged by the private sector - that is, the black market exchange, it can be exchanged for 500,000 soft sister coins. ”

"Didn't the money go to Grandpa, and what does it have to do with that crew?"

"Do you think your grandfather will take more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars to the bank to exchange it?

At that time, whoever took out so many Hong Kong dollars at once, and there were no rich relatives on Hong Kong Island at home, Zhun Bao walked into the bank, and the police received a report and came to investigate.

Even if the old house was sold, in that era, something might happen.

According to the crew member's own confession, after the Hong Kong Ke's subordinates left with the title deed, he told your grandfather about this, and then helped your grandfather exchange all the Hong Kong dollars for soft sister coins little by little.

He said that he and other crew members on the ship often travel back and forth to Hong Kong Island, and they have a demand for Hong Kong dollars, so they can help your grandfather exchange Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, he took all those Hong Kong dollars to the black market and exchanged them, a total of 500,000 yuan. ”

Du Changfeng couldn't help but be happy, and said: "This is what the crew thought about from the beginning, right? This side has exempted himself from his gambling debts, and he can also get more than 100,000 benefits from the old man over there." ”

"This guy is a talent. Cheng Yu also said with a smile.

Cheng Guangnian also smiled and said, "He said that it took almost a year before and after he exchanged all the Hong Kong dollars in your grandfather's hand for soft sister coins."

At that time, he probably thought that this matter was in the past, so he took the money vacated and went to the gambling stall of Hong Kong customers to squander it.

He is a small crew member, and he suddenly has so much money, which is too eye-catching.

Hong Kong tourists also felt that this guy's money must have come from the wrong way, but they didn't think much about it at the time, mainly because they didn't expect that the Hong Kong dollar could be exchanged for such a big difference in the black market on the mainland.

But that guy died by himself, once he won money, and when he was drinking with someone, he leaked his mouth, but he happened to have a little brother of a Hong Kong customer father in that store at that time, so he reported the matter to his boss.

The Hong Kong guest didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, but he could think of it. The crew member has no relatives at home, and his wife has long since divorced him.

Although I don't know if he gave some of the money to his ex-wife, he did it alone, and I don't need to disturb his ex-wife, who has already started another family. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, if it was him, it would not be possible to harass the crew's ex-wife.

However, this only illustrates the situation of the Hong Kong guest, how Cheng Qingsong lost the 380,000, Cheng Guangnian still didn't mention a word.

Cheng Yu just wanted to ask a question, but Cheng Guangnian said: "I originally wanted to discuss with that Hong Kong guest, this old house is actually just an investment for them." At that time, the market price could actually reach 40 or 50 million, but I only spent 20 million to buy back the old house. ”

"Is the other party quite face-saving?" Cheng Yu didn't care, after all, spending twenty or thirty million to build a good relationship with Cheng Guangnian, even if it was Cheng Guangnian eight years ago, it was actually an investment, and the Hong Kong family finally earned much more than these two or thirty million on Cheng Guangnian.

However, Cheng Guangnian slowly shook his head and sneered: "Give face? Have you forgotten that when I first started, I said that the Hong Kong guest was arrogant and arrogant?"

"Huh?" Du Changfeng and Cheng Yu were both stunned.

"At that time, their family thought of Wudong Investment, and they could have cooperated.

I thought that if the other party was willing to sell the old house back to me, even if I didn't like the family very much, the cooperation would continue.

However, after I brought it up with the other party, the other party didn't give me any face.

Of course, to buy and sell, you have to be willing to buy and sell, they don't want to sell, and I can't force them.

Of course, cooperation cannot be carried out.

At that time, the Hong Kong passenger was particularly arrogant, he pointed at me and said that he knew that I had just opened a branch on Hong Kong Island, although he was not as thick as his wrist in the mainland, but on Hong Kong Island, that was his final say.

Let me be careful.

I just smiled at the time and said, there is no triad in China, and I really didn't want to do anything. ”

Cheng Yu said: "As a result, our Hong Kong Island branch really had an accident?"

"It's not like an accident, it's just that people often make trouble, and it's all harmless means, but it's a lot of tossing, and it's trouble after all. To do this, I went on a trip to Hong Kong Island. ”

Du Changfeng touched his chin and said slowly: "Seven or eight years ago, I remember that you had a good relationship with a senior police officer on Hong Kong Island at that time?"

Cheng Guangnian nodded and said, "I can't talk about how good the relationship is, and at that time, he wasn't a senior police officer, he just happened to be in charge of the anti-crime operation." He did help me. ”

These are all things that Cheng Yu doesn't understand at all, but Du Changfeng is a clear door.

"Oh yes, Thompson only got to the senior position five years ago. You know him because his father happened to be retired, so your company hired him as a consultant?"

Cheng Guangnian nodded and said: "This is also a practice on Hong Kong Island, and many civil servants will take temporary positions in some enterprises after retirement. To put it bluntly, it's entrepreneurs who are taking advantage of their years of connections, and they're making some money in retirement. When I opened a branch office on Hong Kong Island, Thompson's father had just retired, and it was thanks to the president of the Chamber of Commerce at the time that I finally hired him. ”

"And then?" asked Cheng Yu.

"I went to Hong Kong Island and asked Thompson's father, as a retired police officer, if it was his duty as an adviser to help solve such a problem.

originally thought that there would be some twists and turns, but Thompson's father laughed when he heard it, and directly asked his son, that is, Thompson, over.

As soon as I told me what happened, Thompson told me that he would be doing something about that Hong Kong father's club in the near future.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a collusion between officials and businessmen, Officer Thompson has not done anything out of the ordinary, and he has never asked the Hong Kong Hakka family to sell the old house back to me.

But I didn't expect it to turn out like that.

Thompson is just fighting crime, but because the Hong Kong Ke's community has been targeted by the police, this has made other clubs take the opportunity to cause trouble, and even within their club, some people have begun to target their father and son.

Under the internal and external troubles, he was stared at by the police......

As I said, that Hong Kong guest is very unsightly and arrogant, and a person with brains must have tried his best to solve the problem in that situation.

But that guy chose to turn his face with the bosses of other halls in the club.

He thought he could take advantage of the chaos to go further, but his leg was broken by his own people.

After the accident, the father of the Hong Kong guest realized the seriousness of the situation, and after he investigated, he found that the cause was that his son had nothing to do in the branch of the Cheng Group, and the old man was angry.

I don't know how the club calmed down, but on my side, the old man took the Hong Kong guest and came to apologize in person.

The old man said at the time that in order to show his sincerity, he wanted to sell our old house back to me at the original price at that time, that is, 630,000 Hong Kong dollars.

I didn't accept such conditions.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if he gives it to me for free, but if I do, I might implicate Thompson.

In the end, under negotiation, he sold the old house to me for 20 million.

And in order not to implicate Thompson, as soon as the old mansion was in hand, I donated it to the Wudong government.

As for the follow-up development, that's all for later. ”

Regarding the matter of this Hong Kong guest, Cheng Yu knew that it was basically over.

After that, Cheng Guangnian will definitely not have any contact with this family, and with the growing size of the Cheng Group, the family will never dare to take any revenge on Cheng Guangnian, and they will not even dare to think about it.

But this still has nothing to do with why Cheng Qingsong owes a huge amount of money.

"How did grandpa owe so much money?" Cheng Yu didn't give up, he felt that the reason why Cheng Guangnian kept this matter a secret was probably related to why Cheng Qingsong was so short of money.

Cheng Guangnian seemed to have said that he didn't know about it before, but Cheng Yu remembered it very clearly, what Cheng Guangnian said was that he didn't know why the old man thought of selling the old house, not that he didn't know why the old man was short of money.

It seems to be the same lineage, it seems to be the same thing, but Cheng Yu's understanding of his father is by no means so superficial.

Cheng Guangnian did not deny anything, which means that there is a mystery inside.

Faced with Cheng Yu's question, Cheng Guangnian pondered a little and said, "Is this important?"

"The more you dodge questions like this, the more important I feel. ”

"But, this kind of thing of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, how can you suddenly be interested? Lao Du, I said that you are too fast, right? Even if Yu'er is now your half son, do you have to tell him about this little in my family?"

Du Changfeng smiled and said, "I told Xiao Yu about this matter, and I had my considerations. I think you can guess why I brought it up, otherwise you wouldn't have explained the ins and outs of this old mansion to us for a long time. ”

Cheng Guangnian sighed, looked at Cheng Yu, and said, "Don't ask about this, okay?"

Cheng Yu also insisted very much, he stared at his father's eyes and said, "No." ”

"Why?

Don't you believe your father is telling the truth?

I haven't seen a penny of your grandfather's money from selling the house.

Maybe some of that money was used for the family, after all, when your grandfather sold the house, I was only in my early twenties, and your second uncle, third uncle, and your sister-in-law were still young.

Your grandmother died early, and it was not easy for your grandfather to pull the four of us brothers and sisters. ”

Cheng Yu still stared at Cheng Guangnian's eyes, and said word by word: "I believe you are useless, what I want is that in case someone makes trouble because of this matter, I have a reason that can completely convince myself and stand on your side unconditionally." Even if Grandpa gives you all the money, there is really no reason for others to make a fuss about it. ”

Cheng Guangnian shook his head slowly, sighed and said, "Now that you know about this, you will be as tight-lipped as I am." ”

"I need to know. ”

Cheng Guangnian thought about it again and said, "Lao Du, it's inconvenient for you to be present in this matter, I'll send you?"

Du Changfeng knew that if Cheng Guangnian could say such things to him, it meant that he would never listen to the next story.

So standing up, Du Changfeng said, "You sit down for a while, just let Xiao Yu send me off." ”

Cheng Yu also stood up and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll send you out." ”

The two left the study, and Cheng Yu followed behind Du Changfeng.

Du Changfeng suddenly stopped and whispered: "Xiao Yu, in fact, with your cleverness, you can probably guess that what your father is going to tell you is likely to be related to your grandfather's reputation. It doesn't matter if you know the full truth or not, I think you can actually choose not to know as accurately as you want. ”

Cheng Yu still insisted: "I must know." ”

"The reason you need to know the truth is that you need to trust your father. But I don't think knowing this part will help increase your trust in Guangnian......"

"No, I trust him, I trust him 100 per cent. There is another reason why I want to know the truth about this. ”

Du Changfeng frowned and said, "It has something to do with Cheng Fu?"

Cheng Yu nodded slowly and said, "Well, there are some things, I think Cheng Fu may have also come into contact with the truth." I'm not sure if this matter of grandpa has anything to do with Cheng Fu's follow-up after he came into contact with that part of the truth, but now, I have to grasp everything. ”

Du Changfeng's brows were deeply locked, and it seemed that there was no value to be persuaded.

But Du Changfeng couldn't help but wonder how Cheng Qingsong's old story could be related to the so-called truth that Cheng Fu came into contact with.

He also didn't understand what Cheng Yu meant by the truth that Cheng Fu might have access to.

But in fact, Cheng Yu himself is not very good, the reason why he insists on letting Cheng Guangnian tell the truth is because he suspects that Cheng Fu knows that he has brain cancer. But he didn't know what Cheng Fu would do if he really knew that he was suffering from brain cancer.

In fact, there should be no connection between Cheng Qingsong's old affairs and Cheng Yu's brain cancer, but Cheng Yu is worried.

Perhaps, this is some kind of intuitive warning, this is something that cannot be expressed in words, it is just a feeling, Cheng Yu always feels that these two things will intersect if they are not aligned.

Therefore, Cheng Yu must break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Okay, then you can talk to your father. Du Changfeng patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder and walked into the hall.

Sent Du Changfeng and Wei Lan out of the door together, and watched them drive away, Cheng Yu returned to the living room.

Everyone is watching the Spring Festival Gala, this should be the first or second program of the Spring Festival Gala, the opening song and dance performance.

"Yu'er, what about your father?" Ning Kezhu asked.

"He's still in the study, and I have a few more words to say to him. I'll be over in a moment. ”

"Talk to your dad well, don't make a mistake at every turn. "Rather Zhu is not at ease.

"Don't worry, I didn't quarrel with him. ”

Back in the study, Cheng Guangnian looked at Cheng Yu and said, "For so long, what did your father-in-law talk to me about before?"

Cheng Yu was stunned.
