Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Early in the morning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhuang was woken up by Guobao's phone call.

    "Li Zhuang, come here early. Do you remember the location?" The rich baritone voice over there seemed a little rushed.

    "National Treasure, it's only seven o'clock and it's just dawn. Why are you in a hurry? I will be there on time." Li Zhuang was surprised. According to Guobao's temper, he would not be in a hurry. Besides, how could this guy treat  Interested in a high school reunion?  He is now a doctor-level figure and living a pretty good life.

    ¡°You must arrive, or I will come to find you,¡± the national treasure said.

    "I got it, I promise!" Li Zhuang was a little impatient. He muttered a few words and hung up the phone.

    It was very cold. Li Zhuang was lying in bed thinking about this unusual thing. He recalled what he had said to the national treasure in the past few years, but he couldn't find any clues. "It's strange. Why is this guy so abnormal?"

    Li Zhuang speculated maliciously, "Do you want to have a good meal?" Guobao is slightly shorter than him, fair and slightly fat, he is very good at eating, and he likes to eat, but he is just the opposite of a foodie.

    Sister Juan was on duty last night, so Li Xiang and Liu Jing got up to make breakfast.  Li Zhuang finished breakfast comfortably and finished writing the rest of yesterday's program before driving to a restaurant next to the high school, where everyone agreed.

    When we arrived, the parking lot of the hotel was full of cars, and old classmates gathered in groups of two or three.  I have to say that the high school Li Zhuang went to was quite high-end, and the overall level of the people who came this time was very high. No wonder everyone desperately wanted to go to a good school. A good background is still very important.

    The four circles in Lizhuang were not very eye-catching when you came in. There are many A6Ls now. When parking, the buttocks are exposed to the outside, which reveals its true face.  He deliberately wore newly bought brand clothes today. The original clothes were half new and not old, and he had been wearing them for many years and was thrown into the trash can by Sister Juan.

    "If you have the strength, you have to pretend to be B. If you don't have the strength, you will be struck by lightning if you pretend to be B." This sentence suddenly popped into Li Zhuang's mind when he got out of the car.

    After getting out of the car, Guobao and other familiar classmates gathered around, and some even got into the car to play with it.

    "Li Zhuang, you have become rich. You have bought a car worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan." A bunch of classmates talked around the car.

    "It belongs to a friend. I borrowed it for long-distance driving. I didn't buy it," Li Zhuang said.  No one believed it, so he had no choice but to take out a four-circle driving license, and the reluctant classmates gave up.

    Li Zhuang wiped his sweat. He didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic about good cars. Fortunately, he didn't listen to Xia Yuande's advice. If he drove back his 16.7 million yuan, he would probably not be able to eat lunch safely.  .  These days, a car is a symbol of status. A good car should be no different from the luxurious carriages and horses of ancient times.

    Most of Li Zhuang¡¯s classmates in this province have bought cars, and many of his classmates from other places have bought houses. Basically, they are all powerful people. There are many PhDs and masters in the small restaurant.  Most of the people who came here were from the science class in the first year of high school, and even a few classmates who later changed to liberal arts came here. Some of the classmates changed schools or classes after Li Zhuang dropped out, and he didn't know him.

    Everyone should register their contact information, and then make a copy for each person.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because it feels like it¡¯s been a long time since the end of the world, so they all come out to take a breath, or if it¡¯s just for comparison, many family members are present.

    Among the people Li Zhuang often contacts, his wife Han Qingxiu, a national treasure, is here, and Zhou Zhi and his wife go home to visit relatives together.  There is also a classmate who played better at first, named Xiao Xin. He graduated from a key university and is now a materials engineer. He also brought his wife here.  What is unbearable is that Wang Mei, the class beauty back then, brought her husband from the capital with her this time. Isn't this sincere and irritating?

    The party was hosted by a classmate named Li Hui who works in the local government department, and the atmosphere was warm.  Everyone reminisced about the past together, shouting out the nickname at the time, "Hu Kan Hai Kan", and after drinking too much, they cursed the authorities, which made Li Hui very embarrassed.

    A small classmate, Li Zhuang remembers his name being Wang Shun, said something that deeply impressed Li Zhuang, "Our place has convenient transportation and outstanding people. Why has it never developed? Isn't it a problem in the officialdom? Isn't it a problem with those people?"  Inexplicable zc, all of us here are enough to support several industries, not to mention the brothers, sisters, and fellow villagers who have made money outside. We need money, money, and people."

    Everyone cheered together.  No one thinks that he is not a talent, haha, so it is appropriate to support him.  Later, I don¡¯t know why someone mentioned security software. A classmate who claimed to work in a certain department said something that surprised Li Zhuang.

    "I am now using Yongyi Computer Security Management Expert, and I have uninstalled all the others. Our testing supervisor said that this software is great, and I use it every day. There is no one better than it. Since I installed this software, my  The computer has never been reinstalled."

    Wang Shun still fightsI was ordered to recommend it to others. When it came to excitement, I also directly said that a well-known software related to the government was bullshit.  Li Zhuang didn't expect that among his classmates, there were also ardent fans of his products, but it was hard to show off, and he didn't dare to say a word. It was so hard to hold it in.

    After the banquet, the host classmate Li Hui took everyone to the hotel cafe to rest. Those who had nothing to do stayed and those who had something to do left first.  Li Zhuang, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Xin, Mr. and Mrs. Guobao, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Zhi sat at the same table, and everyone else sat down according to their close relationship.

    Li Zhuang met Zhou Zhi once last year, for a short time, and this was the first time he met Zhou Zhi¡¯s wife.  His wife is from Shanghai. Her name is Ren Mingmei, which is quite interesting. She is his colleague and now works at the Institute of Physics.

    Ren Mingmei looks like a typical Shanghainese, fair, not tall, and pretty. What surprised Li Zhuang was that she actually graduated with a doctorate from J University in Shanghai.  Zhou Zhi is of medium height, about the same height as a national treasure. His appearance is unattractive, with some freckles on his face. He is rather dark, and his temperament is not that of an intellectual. The contrast between the two couples is strong when put together.

    How a foreign master from a poor family managed to catch up with a good-looking doctor from Shanghai was something Li Zhuang couldn't understand. He could only admire and admire the great hero Zhou Zhizhou.  There are many advantages in Shanghai, and there are also many shortcomings that are criticized. At least Li Zhuang knows that this little mother-in-law is very difficult to deal with. I don't know how Zhou Zhi can deal with it.

    The national treasure couple Li Zhuang are very familiar with each other. They met twice last year alone.  Xiao Xin hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, and this gathering reminded them of the innocent era, and both parties were a little excited.

    Xiao Xin went to school very early and has dual master's degrees in materials science and automation. In some respects, he is Li Zhuang's peer. Students who speak the same language become more cordial when chatting with each other.

    While everyone was chatting happily, someone moved a stool next to them and sat down.  Everyone looked up and saw that it was Li Hui, the head of Li Zhuang's family who was his crush at first. Her family was very powerful in the local area.  Li Hui is already over thirty, but her temperament has not changed much. Children from official families do mature very early.

    "Beauty, you are here to be honored, how dare you? Where do you want to be now?" Li Zhuang joked.

    "Haha, I can't believe that Boss Li is so eloquent now. He was an honest guy back then; I worked in the investment promotion office," Li Hui said with a smile.

    ¡°What kind of boss is this? He¡¯s just a poor man working for your relevant departments!¡± Li Zhuang showed no sign of weakness.

    When Li Hui talked about work, she was not very happy. She said that it is difficult to attract local investment now. There are very few better companies in the newly opened development zones, or they are polluting companies transferred from the coast. She and her colleagues are not willing to bring them home.  .

    "If you have friends who are willing to come and invest, the relevant procedures are easy to handle. Our housing prices are low, the living conditions are good, and the transportation in the industrial zone is convenient. As long as there is enough investment, even large-scale land transfers will be no problem," Li Hui  explain.

    Li Zhuang's heart moved, as if he had solved some problem, "Is there a large area of ??land near the river where a dock can be built? It is best to be on the edge of the current industrial zone. It can be easily expanded in the future."

    "Yes, the companies that are moving into industrial parks now are all close to the city, and people don't want to go to more remote areas. Tomorrow I will take you to see the industrial zone planning map."

    "Li Zhuang, do you really plan to invest here? Do you want me to work for you?" Guobao asked with a smile. Zhou Zhi and Xiao Xin next to him also looked very interested.

    Li Zhuang said seriously: "I plan to invest in the laboratory. I can also get overseas venture capital. If you are willing, I can build a laboratory specifically for you and give you shares."

    The national treasure was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that Li Zhuang wanted to be serious.  Li Zhuang told Guo Bao about this last year, but Guo Bao didn't take it seriously and thought Li Zhuang was joking.

    "If any of you, including relatives and friends, are interested, you can contact me in the future. I initially plan to start taking action at the beginning of next year, no later than October next year. After wandering outside for a long time, I am still comfortable in my hometown," Li Zhuang said.

    Everyone was in a daze together, not knowing what they were thinking.  That night, many students who were not in the city were forced to rest in the hotel.

    The next day, everyone said goodbye and left. Li Zhuang drove to the city investment promotion office. The office was not officially open yet, but there were people on duty.  Li Hui has a good father who has been a regular cadre for a long time.  As soon as Li Zhuang entered the gate, he was spotted by Li Hui and greeted him.

    "Li Zhuang, you can't tell. When you dropped out of school, we all thought that a new star had fallen. We didn't expect that gold would shine wherever it is." Li Hui was still so eloquent.

    ¡°Old classmate, stop teasing me, my future and destiny are all pinned on you,¡± Li Zhuang said semi-seriously.

    The two of them looked at the planning map together. Li HuiPointing to a plot of land on the side, he said that this is the direction in which the industrial zone will be expanded in the future. The transportation is also convenient, but it is a bit far from the city.

    "Well, can it reach 5,000 acres in the long run? In addition to the laboratory, I also plan to do new energy, new materials, precision processing, instruments, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and the like in the future."

    Li Hui looked at Li Zhuang as if he were an alien. Li Zhuang touched his face, but it was nothing.

    "Have you had an adventure and picked up an alien treasure? Take it out and show it to me!" The work in the government department is relatively leisurely, and Li Hui likes to read novels.

    "Halo, aliens are coming. You'd better take refuge in the mountains as soon as possible. There is a nice corner in my hometown. How about I save a place for you? My homestead is very big. Girl, let's talk about business, can you help?  Can I handle it? Don't talk nonsense, I have a certain understanding of your family's situation."

    Li Hui finally came back to her senses.

    "After I go to Hangzhou this year, I will bring several factory bosses to visit. They are mechanical, mainly parts and components. Old classmates, if you can satisfy them, at least the investment will be more than 300 million, and the output value after completion will be  No less than one billion." Li Zhuang continued to stimulate her.

    Now that the land prices around Hangzhou have soared, Director Yang and the others are miserable. Seeing that the opportunity to make a fortune is slipping away, they are asking people everywhere to find trustworthy places to build new factories.  However, there are abnormal situations everywhere in the mainland. Many bosses were deceived by local preferential policies and went bankrupt.

    Li Hui saw that her old classmate was serious, so she took him to the industrial zone for a walk.  Li Zhuang thought it was good. He had done a lot of preparatory work and was quite satisfied when he saw that all the infrastructure in the industrial zone was basically completed. It was not like leaving things empty-handed.

    ??I called Director Yang immediately. Of course, it was not a matter of New Year greetings. This had already been done.  Director Yang told him not to come back in a hurry. People from his circle on Chuba came together to discuss with relevant government departments in detail.

    The phone was ringing loudly, and the news inside made Li Hui very excited.  Li Zhuang put down the phone and told Li Hui the specific time.  The two separated and watched Li Zhuang drive away. Li Hui quickly called her father to announce the good news.

    Of course Li Zhuang is not so naive, thinking that he can trust something based on his relationship with his old classmates.  When he made the plan, Li Hui was also one of the targets he considered.  He had done a detailed investigation and found out that Li Hui's father had always had a good official reputation. Although he could not do much because of the current situation in the officialdom, the children of his family were very well-behaved outside.  Based on the conditions that their family has been running for generations, Li Hui can only open the worst polo, which is not worth a lot of money.

    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of not having ambition, but I¡¯m afraid of feeling hopeless.  As long as you don't mess around, this tree won't fall down in the short term.  Even if it fails in the future, it doesn't matter. The power of attachment has grown and it has enough ability to cope with various changes.
