Cheng Guangnian snorted and didn't speak.

Du Changfeng said as if he was a little tired: "Your father may be crazy, after the New Year, you can take him to check it out." Come on, you father and son talk, I'm going back. ”

Du Changfeng got up and prepared to leave.

Cheng Guangnian called out to him: "Lao Du, what I said is serious, don't think I'm joking, take advantage of the New Year, you think about it." ”

Du Changfeng ignored Cheng Guangnian and continued to walk out, but was stopped by Cheng Yu again.

"Hey, I said that you father and son, have discussed it, right? Cheng Yu, you won't have a part in this matter, you have been plotting with your father for a long time, right?"

Cheng Yu's face was dazed, and he shook his head and said, "Dad, what are you talking about?" I have something to ask Lao Cheng, and this matter has something to do with you, so I want to leave you down to listen." ”

Du Changfeng stopped hesitantly, looked Cheng Yu up and down, Cheng Guangnian said angrily behind him: "This matter has nothing to do with Yu'er, he doesn't know anything, don't be suspicious." ”

"Then I don't understand, what are you doing in Guangnian? As long as the two of us maintain the current relationship, everything in the future will not be Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu sooner or later?

Cheng Yu seemed to hear something, and he asked suspiciously: "Dad, Lao Cheng doesn't plan to fight you again, right?"

Du Changfeng waved his hand and said, "That's not it." But ......"

Cheng Guangnian directly interrupted him, pretending to talk to Cheng Yu.

"Yu'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Du Changfeng looked at Cheng Guangnian and knew that he didn't want to tell Cheng Yu what they just said, which seemed to show that Cheng Yu really didn't know anything about it.

After thinking about it, he didn't tell the truth.

"Yes, Xiao Yu, what do you want to tell your father, and what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing this, Cheng Yu knew that these two people would not continue the topic just now, and they would not dwell on it much, with the addition of two people who were more than 100 years old, no one could get any clues from their mouths about what they didn't want to say.

"About our family's old home. ”

When Du Changfeng heard it, well, this matter is really related to him.

It's not that the old mansion has anything to do with him, but a series of things involved in the old mansion, or he told Cheng Yu.

Although Cheng Yu was born at that time, he was not old enough to remember, and the little thing about the old mansion was revealed by Du Changfeng.

This matter is actually a question for Du Changfeng, so it is reasonable to say that it is related to him.

Taking two steps back, Du Changfeng sat down again.

Cheng Guangnian frowned and said, "Old mansion? Who told you about our old house? Lao Du, is it you?"

Du Changfeng met Cheng Guangnian's gaze, but quickly avoided it, looked at Cheng Yu, and said, "Xiao Yu, you pour me some more wine." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, walked to the small wine table, and picked up the crystal wine bottle.

"Why are you asking this? Is there any rumor out there?"

Cheng Yu still didn't answer, walked to Du Changfeng's side, and helped him pour a little whiskey.

Then he took a cup himself and poured it wine.

"Do you want something?" Cheng Yu shook the bottle at Cheng Guangnian.

Cheng Guangnian glanced down, the cup was already empty, and although he was holding his breath in his heart, he still nodded and said, "Come on." ”

Cheng Guangnian looked at Du Changfeng and Cheng Yu, who were silent, and suddenly felt that his son had become someone else's family, and said in his heart that you two have a tacit understanding. I, Cheng Guang, am a hero for half a lifetime, why am I helpless with this son?

Damn the system, you said you let me have so much wealth, but you didn't allow my son to inherit it, that's what made our relationship so stiff.

Without these restrictions, my relationship with Yu'er must have been very good.

After Cheng Yu also sat down, he finally spoke: "I took my grandfather out to set off fireworks before, and I asked about him, and he seemed to be in a relatively sober state at that time.

He told me that he sold our old house for 380,000 yuan, and it was sold in 90, but the buyer allowed him to live in the house for another 10 years, and then handed over the house after the hurdle of the new millennium.

Grandpa also said that he used the money to pay off his debts. ”

Cheng Guangnian frowned slightly when he heard this.

Du Changfeng couldn't wait to speak: "So, the money from the sale of the house really didn't fall into your father's hands, and you don't have any gold bars handed down from your ancestors?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Grandpa was sober for a while, or maybe he didn't want to say more, so he told me so much."

However, this means that our family's old house was actually sold as early as the nineties, but everyone in the Cheng family, including Lao Cheng, was kept in the dark by the old man at that time.

They didn't know until the old man handed over the house in the new millennium.

Some of the money from the sale of the house may also be used to support the family for ten years, but most of it should be used by the old man to pay off the debt.

It should be a fact that it fell into the hands of Lao Cheng.

As for whether there are any ancestral things in the family, I don't know. ”

Du Changfeng nodded, looked at Cheng Guangnian, and said, "Guangnian, can you explain?"

"What can I explain? How can there be any ancestral belongings in the family, and if there were, the old man would not be reduced to the point of selling his ancestral property. ”

"But why did Grandpa sell his ancestral property, and why did he owe so much money...... 380,000, in the 90s, 380,000 at that time was enough to open a warehouse and release grain for disaster relief, right?"

The two middle-aged men who said this couldn't help but laugh.

Also disaster relief, only 380,000, what is enough?

Of course, they also knew that Cheng Yu was joking.

Cheng Guangnian said: "How do I know? You should ask your grandfather about this." ”

Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "If grandpa is awake, I ask, he should tell me." But he's like that, do you think he can say that?"

"So how do I know how he owes so much debt? We know that when he sold the old house, my business was already on track. Although he doesn't have any living money in his hand, and he puts all the money in the business, he doesn't covet that little money. What's more, didn't you say that your grandfather sold the house in 90, so it's even more impossible to know. ”

"Lao Cheng, it's boring for you to do this. ”

"You're an old man, that's interesting? I'm your dad!"

Cheng Yu didn't bother to compete with Cheng Guangnian, nodded and said, "Well, that's right, you are my father." Well, Dad, you're really not going to explain why Grandpa owes so much debt?"

Cheng Guangnian looked down at the wine glass in his hand, shaking it gently.

The golden liquor swings at the bottom of the glass, not reflecting the light overhead, and all kinds of refractions lead to colorful and beautiful looks.

bowed his head and took a sip of wine, Cheng Guangnian didn't say a word.

"When Grandpa just told you that he had sold the old mansion, I guess even you couldn't find anything.

At that time you said that the business was on the right track, but it was nowhere near what it is today.

At that time, you were just a businessman who had just started out.

I also believe that at that time, you, like the second and third uncles, didn't know why the old man sold the old house, let alone where the money went.

I don't know what you think, but the second and third uncles must think that the money was used by the old man to do business for you.

Even if you denied it later, the second and third uncles definitely didn't believe it.

Of course, it doesn't matter. Importantly, I'm sure you will have questions in your mind.

Even if you don't have a strong curiosity about why your grandfather sold the old house and where the money went.

But when the second uncle borrows wine and spills it, saying that your business should be divided equally between the three of you, you can't be completely indifferent. ”

Cheng Guangnian looked at his son and suddenly smiled.

This kid, this meticulous thinking, is really like Lao Tzu!

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Cheng Guangnian put the quilt on the table.

"Well, you're right, Guangle went crazy with that drink, I know, although Li'er will always be on my side, after all, my business has nothing to do with your grandfather, and he never gave me a penny after I started doing business.

And even if I took your grandfather's money, your grandfather didn't have Alzheimer's at that time, and his money, who he was willing to give it to, was reasonable and legal.

This is not a willless inheritance, and the so-called equal distribution that Guangle said is unreasonable.

But, after all, that's also my own brother, even if I'm a little angry, I'm also his big brother.

There are other eyes on me at home.

Therefore, I think it is necessary to restore the truth of the past. ”

Cheng Yu and Du Changfeng tacitly did not express any opinions, but waited for Cheng Guangnian to restore the truth of the year.

Cheng Guangnian stood up, walked to the small wine table and added some wine to himself.

Back at the table, he opened the humidor on the table, took out a cigar, shook it, and asked, "Do you want one?"

Cheng Yu waited for a while, and when he saw Du Changfeng waving his hand, he said, "You smoke it, I don't need it." ”

Cheng Guangnian was not polite, found the cigar cutter, cut off the cigar head, and did not rush to light it, but put the cigar in the palm of his hand and rubbed it slowly.

Cheng Guangnian's gaze became a little distant, and he couldn't find the focus, as if he was immersed in that memory.

"When Guangle went crazy with wine, I earned the first 100 million in my life.

Of course, there was still no cash in hand, and at that time, a net worth of more than 100 million did not seem to be a particularly lofty indicator.

There was a sentence on the Internet two years ago, which was said by Wang Jianlin.

He said that he should first set a small goal for himself, for example, to earn him 100 million first.

At that time, many people regarded this as a joke, but if you were in the current position of me and your father-in-law, it would actually be quite reasonable. ”

Cheng Yu was speechless about this.

It's not that the small goal of 100 million makes him feel speechless, but the way Cheng Guangnian speaks really makes people feel speechless.

If you talk about things, you can tell stories, why do you have to make such a bad opening statement?

"But no matter what, with a net worth of more than 100 million, it can be regarded as beginning to enter the eyes of some people, and it can be regarded as entering a new class.

During that time, I met a lot of people.

A person who started a business at the age of 30 and was worth 100 million in just two years was still quite valued at that time.

Of course, I also relied on my own vision to show some people I knew at the time.

Whatever I liked, they listened to me, and they basically made a good profit.

In addition to my net worth at that time, I also had the nickname of Goldfinger in Wu Dong's circle. ”

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes again, and said in his heart, please, don't pour any more water, if you want to talk about the golden finger, do you have the golden finger in the system?

Hurry up and talk about things, how much idle talk is this, you middle-aged and elderly men, do you like to talk so much?

Slander is slander, but in fact, Cheng Yu also understands that Cheng Guangnian is not completely irrigation, and saying this is also to fill in the background information.

"Because of this title, it was relatively easy for me to find someone to help back then.

At that time, the people in the Yangtze River Delta were not so disgusted with me.

It was also at a banquet that I met a deputy district chief.

Our family's current land was still granted to me by the deputy district magistrate back then.

I asked him to get to know a cadre of the housing management committee.

After eating twice together, he asked people to help check the original transaction information of the year and determine who owned our family's old mansion. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Guangnian paused, picked up the cigarette lighter at hand, carefully roasted the cigar, and finally lit it.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Guangnian put the cigar on the edge of the ashtray, and then said again: "I am a Hong Kong guest, a Teochew native, who went to Hong Kong Island in the seventies and eighties, and finally got permanent residency on Hong Kong Island because of the Queen's amnesty."

In the 80s, they made some money, and they bought the old house. ”

Speaking of this, Du Changfeng frowned and asked: "Hong Kong Island, which I only went to in the seventies and eighties, was still a black household at the beginning, even if it began to develop in the eighties, in the nineties, 380,000 yuan was not a small amount of money for them, right?"

"And how could a Teochew man from Hong Kong Island come to Wudong to buy property in the nineties?"

Cheng Guangnian waved his hand and said, "They didn't buy this house from your grandfather.

It doesn't matter who your grandfather's house is sold to.

In the 90s, the real estate transfer was only a private note to dare to close.

The person who bought our old house, to put it bluntly, was actually just a middleman.

Your grandfather thought the old house was sold to him, but in fact, the buyer was someone else.

As for why your grandfather was so short of money to sell the old house, I asked him, but he didn't say it, and the matter was put on hold. ”

"Then why are you talking so much about this Hong Kong guest? They have nothing to do with it, actually. Cheng Yu asked again.

Cheng Guangnian waved his hand and said, "Of course it matters." Later, I bought this old house back from them. ”

Cheng Yu and Du Changfeng were both stunned, and almost said in unison: "So, it is actually you (you) who donated the old house to the government?"

Cheng Guangnian nodded and said, "It can't be regarded as a donation, it is a reward, of course, it is not a cash return."

If I have to say that our old house has something to do with me, it is that I used a sum of money eight years ago to buy the old house back.

After I bought it, I signed an agreement with the government to donate the house to the state in exchange for several infrastructure projects at the time.

Later, you should all know about this house.

The government has developed a cultural park around the old house.

Now that area, it seems that the whole area has been improved because of the project of our old house. ”

Du Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "No wonder, I checked the current cultural park of your old house, but found that the donor asked for secrecy." So, in fact, not only the house, but even the funds for the development of the cultural park are probably given by you, right?"

"Less than 500 million. In fact, the profit of infrastructure projects that year was less than this amount. But let's take a long-term view, and that's why my relationship with the government has always been very good. ”

"But these are not important, right? Why did grandpa owe so much money back then, and what does it have to do with that Hong Kong family??" Cheng Yu was not taken away by Cheng Guangnian, but continued to ask.

Cheng Guangnian picked up the cigar and took two more puffs, and then said: "Your grandfather should have been cheated when he sold the old mansion." Because later, after I met the Hong Kong guest, he told me that he didn't actually want to buy the old house at that time. ”

Cheng Yu and Du Changfeng glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that they had finally gotten to the point, and neither of them spoke tacitly, waiting for Cheng Guangnian to continue.

Between the smoke, Cheng Guangnian's voice seemed a little vicissitudes.

"After Guangle had trouble with me, I checked the matter of the old house, but I was at a loss, because I couldn't find out if I found the Hong Kong customer.

Because, that Hong Kong guest is in Wudong, and he doesn't have any business, nor any investment, except for this old house.

But who would have thought that ten years later, at a banquet, I met the son of the Hong Kong guest.

That young man, some of whom had no one in his eyes, was very arrogant, and if he hadn't mentioned our old house, I wouldn't have had anything to do with him at all. ”

Cheng Guangnian picked up the cigar again and put it to his mouth.

"At that time, their family should have thought of investing in Wudong, and there were a few officials who took it very seriously, but almost none of the local businessmen in Wudong were willing to cooperate with their family.

The reason is not complicated, their family has a community background.

At that banquet, the young man boasted that his father had gone to Hong Kong Island and had fought his way out of the world with a steel sword.

He may think that this is something to show off, but in fact, the status of those who can attend that banquet is above their family, no one is an idiot, and no one believes him.

What he said, it was possible in the fifties and sixties and even in the seventies, and in the eighties, what a joke.

However, his family's community background is true, after his father went to Hong Kong Island, he joined a certain club in order to earn a living.

There is no doubt that he must dare to fight and kill, but it is by no means like he said, he can kill his current net worth.

Later, I found out that the family, who really made a fortune on Hong Kong Island, made a living from illegal gambling stalls and cheated a lot of money.

The person who bought our old house from your grandfather is also a frequent customer of his gambling stall. ”

Cheng Yu's brows furrowed slightly, in the eighties, it was not like now, it was very inconvenient to go to Hong Kong.

"According to the Hong Kong guest, the man who bought the house from your grandfather was a sailor, and he traveled frequently between Hong Kong Island and Wu Dong.

The man was a gambler and owed a lot of money to their gambling stall.

Of course, it is a lot, and it is also based on the price level in the 90s.

It seems to be tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the family doesn't remember the specific amount, after all, for them, it was already twenty years ago. ”

Cheng Yu calculated, Cheng Guangnian bought the old house back home eight years ago, even if he knew the Hong Kong customer a year or two earlier, it would be ten years ago at best.

That is, 09 years.

The family's old house was actually sold in 90, so there is nothing wrong with saying that it was 20 years ago.

"The crew had stolen goods from the ship a few times to pay off their debts, but they were all bargains. For us Wu Dong, it is a good thing to import, but on Hong Kong Island, it is a thing that can be seen everywhere. ”
