Reborn Industrial Tycoon

In the evening, Ding Jianjun arrived at the door of the family building carrying two bottles of canned fruit.

"I remember it should be the building in the middle, the west door on the second floor." Thinking of this, Ding Jianjun went directly to the second floor and knocked on the door of the west door.

After a while, the door opened and Li Weidong stuck his head out.

"It's Uncle Ding! Are you here to see my dad? Come in and sit down." Li Weidong greeted Ding Jianjun into the house.

Mr. Li Dengke was holding a chess record and studying it carefully. When he saw Yu Jianjun coming in, he immediately stood up to greet him: "It's Jianjun! Come and sit down."

"It's been a long time since we last met. Come and see you." Ding Jianjun said, placing the canned fruit in the most conspicuous place on the table, as if he was afraid that Li Dengke wouldn't see it.

"Come on, do you want to buy anything else?" Li Dengke smiled and asked Ding Jianjun to sit down.

Ding Jianjun is also the accountant of the transportation company, a few years younger than Li Dengke. When Ding Jianjun first joined the transportation company, he learned a lot from Li Dengke, so he can be regarded as half of Li Dengke's apprentice.

When Li Dengke was still working, Ding Jianjun would often come to Li Dengke's house as a guest, so the children of the Li family all knew Ding Jianjun.

It's just that since Li Dengke resigned, Ding Jianjun hasn't been to Li's house much, that is, he only came once when he just moved to a new house.

Now Ding Jianjun comes to visit again, obviously with a purpose.

Ding Jianjun has a son who has found a partner and has reached the point of discussing marriage. Now that they are getting married, the woman will ask Ding Jianjun's family to give her a bride price.

In the 1980s, the bride price was not given directly in money, but in "four major items". In the early days, it was "three turns and one ring", and later it was household appliances.

Ding Jianjun's prospective daughter-in-law requested a color TV, a washing machine and a refrigerator, and they had to be imported.

If this standard is applied now, it is equivalent to asking for a BMW or Mercedes-Benz, but it cannot be an entry-level A-class car.

A 14-inch color TV costs about 1,000 yuan; a refrigerator with a minimum capacity of 100 liters costs more than 600 yuan; as for a washing machine, a single-cylinder one costs 200 yuan, and a double-cylinder one costs 400 yuan.

This is the price of domestic appliances and the price of imported appliances. With Ding Jianjun’s salary level, he would have to save for two or three years to afford these things without eating or drinking.

Ding Jianjun was worrying about the betrothal gift, and he got the news at this time. During the voting meeting during the day, Li Weidong took out 200,000 yuan!

So Ding Jianjun started to think about borrowing money. Your Li family already has 200,000 yuan, so it shouldn't be difficult to accept 2,000 yuan from me to buy a bride price!

…

For the gift money for his son's wedding, Ding Jianjun bought canned fruits and came to Li Weidong's house.

At the same time, a police motorcycle drove into the family yard of the transportation company, with two green hats sitting on the motorcycle.

The police comrades came to the transportation company's family home and instantly attracted the attention of the troublemakers.

"I haven't heard of a burglary in anyone's house."

"Could it be that one of the kids got into a fight again?"

Amid people's discussion, the motorcycle stopped at the door of the family building.

A middle-aged police officer stepped out of the mess and asked the residents next to him: "Comrade, I want to ask you something, does Li Weidong live here?"

"I live here, in that building, in the middle building, on the second floor, in the west." The resident quickly replied.

"Thank you, comrade." After the middle-aged police officer said that, he took another police officer and went straight to Li Weidong's home.

The good people immediately gathered around and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's for Li Weidong." The man replied.

"Li Weidong? Could it be that he committed something?" the good guy asked again.

"Follow me and see if you can find out!"

There are no secrets in the family homes of state-owned enterprises. Any quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will attract a crowd of onlookers, let alone comrades from the police.

Ding Jianjun was chatting with Li Dengke and had not yet mentioned the matter of borrowing money. At this time, there was another knock on the door.

Li Weidong immediately got up and opened the door, and then saw two police officers.

When he saw the police officer coming to his door, Li Weidong did not panic at all. Instead, he showed an expression of "I've finally waited for you."

"Is this Comrade Li Weidong's home?" the middle-aged police officer asked.

"Yes, I am Li Weidong." Li Weidong nodded.

"Hello, my name is Xu Kai. I want to find out something from you." While speaking, the middle-aged police officer saluted Li Weidong and then took out his work ID card.

"Okay, two comrades, please come in quickly." Li Weidong invited the two people into the house, but deliberately did not close the door, allowing the curious babies from the family home to gather around the door and watch.

Then Li Weidong glared at his scumbag younger brother and ordered: "Hurry up and make tea for the two comrades."

"No need to bother, we just want to briefly understand the situation, we won't stay too long." Xu Kai said.

"It doesn't matter. The police and civilians are all close, and drinking water is not a violation of discipline." Li Weidong said, asking the two police officers to sit down, and then sat opposite Xu Kai.

Ding Jianjun stood up consciously and ran to the side.

"Comrade Xu, if you have any questions, just ask." Li Weidong said.

"Comrade Li Weidong, you don't need to be nervous." Xu Kai put on a friendly smile and then said: "I heard that your transportation company held a voting meeting this morning?"

"That's what happened. The company planned to contract out the garment factory of the third industry, so it held a voting meeting to decide on the contractor." Li Weidong said calmly.

"I also heard that you took out 200,000 in cash at the voting meeting?" Xu Kai asked again.

"That's right, it's 200,000. After the voting meeting, I brought the money back and it's now under my bed. Would Comrade Xu want to take a look?" Li Weidong replied.

Seeing Li Weidong's calm performance, Xu Kai had realized that there should be no problem with the two hundred thousand cash.

Xu Kai waved his hand: "There is no need to look at the money. We just want to know where Comrade Li got so much money."

Li Weidong smiled slightly and replied: "I borrowed this money from the bank, and the source is absolutely legal. Comrades, wait a moment, and I will get you the loan certificate."

Li Weidong was well prepared and went directly into the house and took out a stack of loan vouchers.

Ding Jianjun, who was standing nearby, suddenly changed his expression when he heard the word "loan".

Li Weidong gave the loan voucher to Xu Kai. The bank's loan voucher was very standardized. Each piece of paper had the name and logo of the bank, and at the end there was a signature and seal.

Seeing the red official seal, Xu Kai basically confirmed the authenticity of the loan voucher.

Li Weidong then introduced: "This 500,000 loan was personally approved by President Wu of the Bank of China. The procedures are complete. If you two comrades still have questions, you can go to the Bank of China to verify it."

"Thank you Comrade Li for your cooperation. Now that everything is clear, we will take our leave." Xu Kai said and started to stand up, but stopped midway through his movement.

"Comrade Li, I didn't hear clearly just now. What you said was 500,000, not 200,000?" Xu Kai asked.

"I borrowed a total of 500,000 yuan. Look, it's written here." Li Weidong pointed to the number on the loan certificate and continued: "I can't take out all 500,000 yuan, so I took out 200,000 yuan first."

Ten thousand, to pay wages to the workers in the garment factory."

"So that's it!" Xu Kai nodded and said with emotion: "Comrade Li is such a good person. He puts paying wages to workers first."

"Good people don't dare to be good people. They don't dare to be good people. They are all serving the people." Li Weidong smiled awkwardly and thought to himself: I don't dare to accept this thing from a good person.

…

Li Weidong had long expected that someone would come to his door, either the police or the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

On the playground of the company, he took out 200,000 in cash and instantly knocked everyone unconscious.

But when everyone calms down, they will think about where did Li Weidong get so much money?

In the mid-1980s, even if a person had a household worth ten thousand yuan, his wealth history would be widely unearthed and become a topic of conversation among the general public.

Li Weidong suddenly took out 200,000 yuan. How could it not arouse everyone's curiosity? There are thousands of employees in the transportation company, and there will definitely be many people who want to find out where Li Weidong got so much money.

How could ordinary people have so much money? Did the money come from an improper source? Is it illegal income? Did Li Weidong take bribes? Did Mr. Li secretly hide a mine? Is the scumbag Li Weimin a child of luck?

Instead of letting busybodies guess and gossip behind your back, it is better to spread the matter out.

So when the police comrades came to the door, Li Weidong deliberately left the door open, just to let the busybodies outside know that his money was obtained through formal channels and loans from banks.

At the same time, this also has the advantage of preventing others from borrowing money.

The so-called poverty means that no one cares about troubles, while the rich means having distant relatives in the mountains. Once a person has money, those relatives who are beyond his reach, friends who don't often interact with each other on weekdays, and so-called neighbors who are several blocks away may all become involved.

Came here to borrow money.

As for not paying it back after borrowing it, that's another question.

It's like a grassroots singer who was born as a farmer. After making money, he returned to the village. The villagers said that the singer should distribute tens of thousands of yuan to everyone in the village. Getting something for nothing has become a matter of course.

Now that Li Weidong has taken out 200,000 yuan at once, there is no guarantee that such a person will not appear.

You already have two hundred thousand, should you take out the money and share it with everyone?

In addition to relatives, friends, and neighbors who come to borrow money, people you don't know may also come to borrow money.

For example, if there is a serious patient in the family who needs money for treatment, and the family members go directly to Li Weidong's door and kneel down, what should they do?

Although you don’t know me and I don’t know you, you have money! You should use the money to treat me!

It's a matter of life and death. You already have 200,000 yuan. It seems reasonable to lend me a few thousand yuan for your life, right? If you don't lend it, moral kidnapping will come. A group of keyboard warriors who don't have any money will start to spray you, saying

You are rich and unkind, saying that you will die without saving him.

Anyway, I am poor and I am reasonable, and I am weak and I am reasonable.

It’s not like things like this have never happened. As soon as the news reported that someone had donated a lot of money to do good deeds, people would come to the door the next day and ask for donations for various reasons.

In order to avoid this kind of trouble, Li Weidong simply let everyone know that the money was borrowed from the bank and interest had to be paid.

Although I have a huge sum of five hundred thousand, it is all borrowed. In terms of interest, I am a loser. Every morning when I get up, I first calculate how much interest I owe to the bank. How dare you borrow money from me?

…

Li Weidong personally sent Xu Kai downstairs, watched Qianzi leave on his motorcycle, and then returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Ding Jianjun had already stood up, looking like he was about to say goodbye.

"Uncle Ding, are you leaving? Why don't you sit here for a while?" Li Weidong asked.

"I won't sit down anymore. I just remembered that when I went out, there was still a pot of water boiling on the stove at home. I have to go back quickly so as not to burn anyone dry." Ding Jianjun replied.

Ding Jianjun said, and walked directly to the door, said no need to say goodbye, and left quickly.

Looking at Ding Jianjun's leaving figure, Li Weidong deliberately asked: "Dad, why did Uncle Ding come to see you?"

Mr. Li Dengke pretended to be confused and shook his head innocently: "I don't know either, and I don't dare to ask!"

…

Ding Jianjun walked alone on his way home.

"I thought that Li Dengke was getting rich, but I didn't expect that he was even poorer than me. He owed the bank 500,000 yuan, and I'm afraid he won't be able to pay it back in his next life! Alas, this trip was in vain. It's a pity that I had two bottles of canned fruit!

"
