My 1979

"Director Liu, I respect you." Li Long raised his glass to a middle-aged man with excitement.

After so many years in business, he has lost a lot of his recklessness and youthfulness, and his words and actions have become more and more decent.

His brother brought him out to the world and helped him pave the way to make friends. He naturally knew how precious such an opportunity was.

He finished the cup and hurriedly saluted the other leaders.

There are two of these leaders who know each other. Privately, they are just acquaintances for He Jun's sake, but they still have a serious air and a business-like attitude, which is very powerful when you think about it.

Usually, the people he interacts with the most are the section chiefs and directors who he can call brothers and sisters. Now that he has the opportunity to call these top leaders brothers and sisters, the benefits are different from those in the past.

Director Jiang took Li Long's hand and called him brother-in-law. He kept promising that there would be no big problem in driving a taxi company and that if you have anything to do, just go to him.

Li Long was happy, but he still felt a little disappointed. He still had to rely on his brother. Without his brother, who among these people could recognize him, let alone treat him like a brother, with a bright smile on his face. smile.

His idea of ​​wanting to be an eagle and spread his wings and fly high is still a bit naive.

"My brother is still young. If there is anything ignorant, I hope you will give it some advice in the future." Li He stood up again and raised his glass to everyone, "I am grateful!"

Besides, Li He was from this county, so being on good terms with Li He would only be good for them, not harmful, so they naturally agreed to Li He's request.

They also stood up together to raise their glasses, and no one sat down to raise a cup.

Director Liu smiled and said, "Comrade Li, you are a role model for the people of our county. Of course we are proud of you. We welcome you back to the county to invest at any time and are willing to solve all your worries."

Since He Jun said that Li He was doing business in the sea, Director Liu thought that he was right.

Director Wu also said, “I hope I can visit my hometown more often in the future and provide more opinions for our work.”

"Thank you, thank you." Li He held the cup in both hands and drank to the full.

After drinking for a few times, he felt a little dizzy.

He Jun asked for snacks at the right time, and everyone stopped drinking.

He has the highest position here and is considered the boss. Naturally, it is difficult for others to disobey him.

After the banquet ended, everyone was picked up by their respective drivers and secretaries.

He Jun and Li He opened a teahouse alone and talked about the past.

He Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Think about it, I'm already over forty, this is a long time!"

"My child is already three years old, which is quite fast." Li He also had the same emotion.

"My daughter is already in her senior year of high school." After sighing, He Jun brought up the topic, "This year, I went to the south again to take a look. You said that everyone is focusing on reform and opening up. Why is the gap still so big? ?The per capita disposable income in the southern coastal areas is basically between two and three times that of ours, and in some cases it reaches four times. Whenever I think about the gap here, I feel uneasy in this position. Is it our incompetence that has caused today? situation?"

Li He was silent for a while, then shook his head, "It is mainly geographical location that determines the degree of economic development. This gap will last for twenty, thirty years, or even longer, and this gap will become bigger and bigger. It’s a fact, a fact that everyone must admit.”

"Of course I know." He Jun gave Li He a cigarette and lit another one for himself. "You have many ideas. Please help me think of something. What will I do if I continue to be poor like this?"

Li He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that easy to solve."

"It's okay, just talk like we two brothers are chatting." He Jun couldn't stand Li He's hesitation and couldn't help but persuade him, "You can say whatever you want."

"We can't do much, but doing our best is helpful. The first is to build roads. If you want to get rich, you must build roads first. This is unquestionable. Good things cannot be exported or listed on the market. When it comes to developing the economy, it is Empty words.”

He Jun blew out a smoke ring and said, "I agree with this. The city is trying to find ways to get funds to build roads."

Li He continued, "The second point is education. Not only our city, but also the entire province is destined to be a labor-exporting province in the future. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. This is normal."

He Jun nodded, "This cannot avoid the loss of talent and cannot retain people. There is no development without talent."

Li He said, "This is right, but investment in education cannot be ignored because of brain drain. According to my idea, not only should we export labor force, but also export high-quality labor force. My opinion is to increase investment in education. In short, There will be people who will become talented, and one day they will be successful, and they will definitely contribute back to the local economy."

He Jun sighed and said, "This is also a big investment."

There are holes everywhere that require money.

Li He thought for a while, took a deep breath and said, "I will donate 10 million to the city."

He Jun was stunned for a moment, then asked dumbfounded, "Are you kidding me?"

"Am I a joke?" Li He said with a smile, "But I have a request."

He Jun said excitedly, "Don't mention one condition! I will agree to a hundred conditions!"

He carefully thought about Li He's social status today, and then confirmed that Li He's words might be true. He could really spend 10 million!

"I request that the special funds be used exclusively for the renovation of rural primary and secondary school buildings. If the funds are used reasonably, I will continue to donate in the future."

"I promise you this!" He Jun knew what Li He was worried about. The current atmosphere was indeed not good, so he promised, "I will show you the ledger."

"Then I believe you." Li He put out his cigarette butt and stretched.

He Jun continued, "Then I also have a request?"

"you say."

He Jun said seriously, "I hope you won't hide this time. We will hold a donation ceremony. I hope you can come forward and set a social example for everyone in front of TV reporters. I believe this will have a strong positive impact on society." significance."

Li He laughed and said, "You still think of me as a friend? Since you know my character, you won't use such words to trick me."

"That's not what I meant." He Jun hurriedly explained, "I just want you to be a role model, so that more people will follow your example."

Li He waved his hands with a smile and said, "I am not a person seeking fame, so be it. When I return to Beijing, I will arrange for someone to come to the city to find you, and I will make donations in the name of the group company."

"Then let me leave you my office number?" He Jun asked cautiously, knowing how difficult it would be for ordinary people to know his contact information. Seeing Li He nod, he took out a pen and paper, wrote the number and handed it to Li He.

"Okay, keep your word." In order to show his attention, Li He solemnly put the note into his pocket and patted his pocket to express that he would not forget it.

He came out of the box and searched around but couldn't find Li Long.

Liu Laosi pointed to the corner of the wall. Li Long was leaning against the wall, talking and laughing with a girl.

The girl was wearing a hotel employee uniform. She was tall, covering her teeth and laughing constantly.

Li He didn't know when his brother had such a sense of humor, and Duan Meidu often said that he was rigid.

Li He frowned and stood in front of Li Long without saying a word. The girl was startled when she saw Li He and ran away quickly. But she saw with her own eyes that the mayor was respectful to him.

Li Long blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.
