    "Mainland?" After hearing this word, Li Guangxin immediately became vigilant. Thinking about Li Mingbao's abnormal expression today, Li Guangxin said with a gloomy face: "Xiao Wu, no wonder you are so diligent today. It turns out you want to know  Didn¡¯t I tell you about this a long time ago? I will definitely tell you when it¡¯s time for you to know, so why are you in a hurry?¡± Seeing that his father¡¯s reaction was not what Li Mingbao expected, Li Mingbao didn¡¯t worry.  He said unhurriedly: "Dad, actually I really want to inquire about this news. I could have inquired a long time ago. Even if the people at home don't tell me, don't old people like Uncle Liu know about it? Let me ask Dad  , in fact, I just want to untie the knot in your heart, Dad. No one can explain what happened in those years, and I am even less qualified to comment. But now the mainland is reflecting on its mistakes and rehabilitating people.  They don't care anymore. Dad, why do you have to keep something secret that is not confidential? Now that the business at home is getting bigger and bigger, sooner or later we will have to contact the mainland. If I don't know anything about it?  We don¡¯t know anything about it, which is really not a good thing for business. Our United Cinemas recently planned to ask a construction company from mainland China to do decoration for us. We have already contacted him, and we will contact Dad more in the future.  There is absolutely no point in keeping this secret. Everyone who should know knows it, but we children don't know. It's really unreasonable to hide it from the outside. I don't know what you are afraid of, dad?  Our family has not committed any serious crimes. With our current energy, even if we go back, we will be warmly welcomed by the mainland. If you keep hiding this matter, will our family still be able to do business in the future?  " "Things are not as simple as you think. The issues at that time were very complicated and I couldn't explain them clearly for a while. If it were easier to explain, I would have told you a long time ago. Business matters are not in a hurry, so why should you be so anxious?  Do you know?" Obviously, Li Mingbao's words did not shake Li Guangxin's will.  "Complicated? How complicated can it be? If it's really complicated, then it's impossible for our family to be able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong. Being able to establish a foothold in Hong Kong means that things in our family are not at their worst. Dad, what are you doing now?  Saying this is just escaping. Dad, this matter is really nothing. I think you just complicate simple things, which is why there are so many things. The mainland is very open now.  It¡¯s not a fundamental issue, we can talk about it. ¡°If you think you can¡¯t talk about it, dad, I¡¯ll go and take a trip. With my current status, people over there won¡¯t neglect me.¡± Li Mingbao continued to pursue me.  Said reluctantly.  "Hey, you kid, do you have to force your father and me? In this case, let me tell you, do you think this matter is complicated?" Li Guangxin said helplessly.  Next, Li Guangxin talked about the origin of their Li family.  From Li Guangxin's words, Li Mingbao gradually understood what the Li family did.  To be clear, his grandfather and his current industry are actually similar. In the 1920s and 1930s, his grandfather was the first person in the film industry in mainland China.  Although the Li family was not the top wealthy family in the mainland at the time, it was still considered wealthy and very powerful in Guangdong Province. And my grandfather was the third son of the head of the Li family, that is, the youngest son.  At that time, the eldest son was in charge of Li's family affairs, and the second eldest son was in charge of the business world. The youngest mistress, Li Mingbao's grandfather, was actually a playboy at first.  But his dandy was different from other dandies. Other dandy¡¯s used to hang out in the land of fireworks in those days, but due to the tutoring of the Li family, Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather did not have this hobby at that time, and he did not smoke cigarettes.  If such a person is born in a civilian family, he is a good person.  But Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather was born into a family like the Li family. If he doesn¡¯t do serious things, he is considered a playboy.  After a few years of this, Li Mingbao's grandfather felt that it was not the same thing, and he should find a job, otherwise he would live a useless life, which was really unacceptable.  Although he could not engage in politics or business, Li Mingbao's grandfather felt that he was capable of doing things. It happened that at that time, things like movies had spread to the land of China. Li Mingbao's grandfather had a strong interest in such new things.  So I jumped in and became the boss of a film company.  The film company in those days was not a profitable industry at all. If the Li family had not set a high threshold, it might have gone bankrupt as soon as it opened.  But fortunately, the threshold of the Li family was high enough, and those who wanted to fight Qiu Feng were a little scrupulous for the sake of the Li family, so the film company reluctantly opened its doors.  But opening a film company does not mean that it is so easy to do it. There were no professional talents at that time, because even the film industry was new, and others in the West had not yet explored too many doors.? It was impossible for Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather to become prosperous all of a sudden.  But fortunately, in those days, you didn¡¯t need to be too professional. You could just get a projector and shoot a video, and it was a common job.  Coupled with the confusion of thought in those days, there were all kinds of people, so after opening the film company, Li Mingbao's grandfather could deal with more people.  During that period of time, no matter who you are, as long as you come to Grandpa Li Mingbao, you will receive a warm reception. It feels like water in Liangshan. You can get to know all the heroes from the three mountains and five mountains. If you have a good conversation, talk for a while.  If we can't negotiate, I'll pay the price and let you go.  Fortunately, Li Mingbao's grandfather had his back to the Li family, and the Li family didn't need Li Mingbao's grandfather to do anything at that time.  As long as it doesn't ruin the family tradition, it doesn't matter if you spend some money. Anyway, someone in the family is making money.  In this way, Li Mingbao's grandfather knew a lot of domestic and foreign celebrities. He could also name everyone from TG's Chang Kaishen, as well as people in the circle. At that time, Uncle Liu also got to know Li Mingbao.  Grandpa.  Of course, at that time, in front of Li Mingbao's grandfather, Uncle Six, who was a junior, could really talk to Uncle Six's brothers.  After entering the Anti-Japanese War in a daze, Li Mingbao's grandfather also had a big change in his thinking, because at that time the troops in the hands of the government were really bad at fighting, and the performance of the Tubal Road side was pretty good, although there was no big battle or anything.  Yes, but if you build a blockhouse today and kill two little Japanese tomorrow, small business can be considered prosperous. Unlike the government, even small business cannot be done well, let alone big business.  In addition, at this time, Little Japan was invading the coast, and Guangdong Province did not escape. Although the eldest son of the Li family had reached the top of the government, the family's foundation could not be preserved. There was no one to protect it, and the second brother's business could not be saved.  It was not easy to do anything anymore, and in the end, Li Mingbao's grandfather's film company couldn't continue to operate, and he didn't have so much money to squander.  The bad news doesn¡¯t stop there. In the 1940s, the older generation of the Li family also left Hexi, leaving only the younger generation.  Although they are said to be young people, in fact, none of these young people are younger than forty years old.  Although Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather did not achieve much, he had a wide circle of people and even sometimes served as a guide for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.  When we were cooperating, such problems were not considered a problem. In addition, the eldest son of the Li family was also a high-level official in the government, and his mistress could still be taken care of. So we stayed around for four or five years and finally ended the war of resistance.  .  It should be said that we were living a good life at this time. After all, the Li family did not collapse, and the capital did not suffer much loss because of the second brother's caution at the beginning. There were some troubles with personnel, but in those years, in the end,  People are worthless. If you really want to start over, as long as you have money, you can develop immediately.  But who knew there would be a civil war at this time?  The boss and the second brother basically relied on the government to do their work. If they left the government, they would be really doomed. Moreover, the National Government was still orthodox at that time, so anyone who knew how to choose knew how to choose.  But Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather was different. Because he had a lot of contact with the Communist Party, he knew their fighting power very well. He really didn¡¯t have much expectations for the government. People who don¡¯t know how to run a small business will still lose money if they do a big business.  Based on this, when it came time to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, Li Mingbao's grandfather stood on the side of the Communist Party.  Three brothers, two choices, it is not surprising that such a thing happened in that year.  Because this kind of thing was done by ancient people even a thousand or two thousand years ago.  Just like the Zhuge family, Zhuge Liang is a member of Shu Han, Zhuge Jin is a member of Soochow, and Zhuge Jun is a member of Cao Wei, and all three of them are doing well. This is considered a normal pattern continued by wealthy families.  If you want to take sides, then take sides. The eldest brother and the second brother joined the National Government, and Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather joined the TG.  When it comes to the abilities of the three people, the eldest brother and the second brother are definitely the strongest. They also received the best education back then. Only the third son, Li Mingbao's grandfather, is not considered a talent.  But being unable to manage military affairs does not mean that Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather is just a decoration. Fortunately, Li Mingbao¡¯s grandfather knew many heroes from all over the world, as well as many people at home and abroad. So when he came to TG, he was mainly responsible for culture and diplomacy.  Work and cultural work are normal, because when the literati and poets went to Li's house for dinner, Li Mingbao's grandfather entertained them, so this task was easy to complete.  And in diplomatic work, recruiting and surrendering bandits, and dealing with foreigners, even when Grandpa Li Mingbao spent a lot of money, he also left behind friendships.  Therefore, although Li Mingbao's grandfather did not dominate the military and political affairs in the TG at that time, he still had a very important position in a practical sense. After the founding of New China, he also had the title of Central Committee Committee, and also served as director of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  took the title of deputy minister.  ¡°As for the eldest and second eldest son of the Li family, they actually did not suffer much grievance at the beginning and retired together.After leaving Wanwan, I finally had a good death.  Originally, with Grandpa Li Mingbao's connections, it was easy to make a living in the new government, and he would have a good reputation even if he worked until he retired.  Who would have known that there would be a buzz later, and it turned out that Li Mingbao's grandfather was well-connected in success and well-connected in defeat, and was finally convicted of collaborating with the enemy.  Of course, the charge of bourgeois corruption is what pries open the door. Unfortunately, the person who got this charge was not Li Mingbao's grandfather, but Li Mingbao's father. Who told him to have two wives?
