Rebirth 1983

Chapter 336 The old man from the main vein

"I'm talking about the third child. I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for more than 30 years. It's already a good year to meet again. Time flies so fast!"

In the small village of Chenjia'ao, the old branch secretary followed a hale and hearty old man with a little humility.

The old man was wearing a red Tang suit. Instead of hunched over like the old branch secretary, he stood upright and straight, with piercing eyes and vigorous energy. Although he had sixtieth white hair at the temples, his hair was shiny and shiny, which showed that he often took care of it.

"Master Zhikai, you have been away for more than 30 years. I didn't expect you to be so energetic. Unlike us, you have an old bone and your legs are useless."

"I've said it all, don't call me Young Master, just call me Zhikai. We grew up together, don't be so alien. Besides, third child, it's not what it used to be, even in Treasure Island, we don't like to be called like that anymore." The old man in Tang suit waved his hand and said with a smile.

The person called Master Zhikai by the old branch secretary is the person from the main branch of the Chen family who made a surprise visit today.

"This is what I used to call when I was young. I still remember working in your house when I was young. I didn't expect that we would be so old in the blink of an eye." The old branch secretary also felt emotional.

The two barely grew up together when they were young, but the old man in Tang suit was the son of the landlord of Chen Jia'ao at that time, and the old branch secretary was just the son of his parent's worker when he was young. To be precise, the old branch secretary had always been his servant when he was young.

"In the past few decades, Chen Jia'ao has changed a lot. I almost can't recognize it. I don't know how the people in the village are doing. How many of those people who were together back then are still alive?"

Chen Zhikai's eyes were deep, and while talking, he looked at the workshops of the dendrobium plantations at the foot of the back mountain, wondering what he was thinking.

The old branch secretary didn't see Chen Zhikai's gaze, but was recalled by the other party's words. He shook his head and said with a sigh: "Hey, the people who played together back then are still alive in twos and threes. We can live well. The party treats us very well. As long as we work hard, at least no one will die of starvation. We can occasionally eat stewed meat and drink good wine. This is something I dare not think of before!"

"That's good. I'm still thinking that if I go back to China this time, what if I don't meet anyone I know well? Fortunately, your third child is still here! I'm relieved."

Hearing the old party secretary's words, Chen Zhikai paused for a while, and then laughed, not delving too deeply into the meaning of the old party secretary's words.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Zhikai and his father withdrew to Baodao with those people for some reason, and the Chenjia'ao industry was naturally abandoned. This is why no one has maintained the original Chen's old house in Chenjia'ao for 40 years.

This old house was originally the office of the village brigade in the early years, but after a movement and a long period of disrepair, it became so dilapidated that Chen Songdu later came to pick up the carved windows.

The old branch secretary himself did not expect that the person who left Chenjia'ao back then suddenly came back, and he was accompanied by the leaders of the city.

"Going back to my hometown this time finally comforted my homesickness a little bit. Looking at the familiar place of Chenjia'ao, I couldn't help but want to come back."

Chen Zhikai reached out and touched the tears that didn't seem to exist in the corner of his eyes, his voice trembled, as if expressing his homesickness for more than 30 years.

The old party secretary narrowed his eyes, but he didn't comfort the other party, he just took two steps forward lightly.

"I don't know what Master Zhikai's plan is when he comes back this time?"

The old branch secretary followed behind Chen Zhikai, an old man in Tang suit, and looked at the man in front of him tremblingly and asked.

After all, I haven't seen each other for more than 30 years, and the other party is still from Baodao. If you really believe the other party's homesickness or something, that's nonsense.How could someone leave Chen's foundation and go to Baodao 30 years ago because of homesickness?

"When I came back this time, I wondered if the country is reforming and opening up. I just thought about coming back to make some investments, and moving my family back by the way, which can be regarded as making some contributions to my hometown."

Chen Zhikai tugged on his Tang suit, but looked at the Dendrobium factory in the distance again.

"Master, do you mean to come to Chenjiaao to invest and set up a factory?"

Hearing what the other party said, the old party secretary immediately put away his vigilance, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, wanting to know what Chen Zhikai was thinking.

"That's right. I'm thinking of setting up a factory in Chenjia'ao. By then, it will help our village get richer! No, I just returned to China, and as soon as I proposed this idea in the province, the province sent someone to ask the city leader to accompany me over here."

Chen Zhikai stroked the beard on his chin with a very satisfied expression. It seemed that he was very happy with the attention of the local leaders, so that his face was overjoyed.

"That's good, our Chenjia'ao, we have managed to survive the past two years. A golden phoenix has emerged in the mountain nest. There is a junior who has made a lot of money with many people in our village. If Master Zhikai can also set up a factory in our village, maybe it can lead us out of poverty and into a well-off life!"

The old branch secretary was so happy that he closed his mouth from ear to ear and clapped his palms so excitedly that he didn't care about the cane he was holding fell to the ground. Instead, he fantasized about getting rich from the village.

What the old branch secretary said made Chen Zhikai curl his lips, but when he heard the old branch secretary mention that someone in the village had made a lot of money, he immediately became interested.

In his impression, what the old party secretary said about making a lot of money was probably the concept of a ten thousand yuan household.

Although it is not bad in this era, in his eyes, it is nothing at all. You must know that he has a lot of industries in Baodao, and there are some factories in the overseas Bald Eagle Country, which can barely be regarded as a net worth of hundreds of millions.

"Old man, who is the junior you are talking about? I didn't expect another golden phoenix to appear in our place. Well, I'm so happy!"

Chen Zhikai smirked and praised, his eyes were squinted, making it impossible to see the specific emotions.

The old branch secretary thought that the other party was really praising Chen Song, and was very happy, so he naturally told Chen Zhikai everything he knew about Chen Song.

Probably that means Chen Song's background, and the business of his supermarket chain and Dendrobium factory.

The old party secretary didn't know that Xiaobawang Electronics, which has become popular in China recently, is also one of Chen Song's industries. If this is said, Chen Zhikai will be shocked.

Recently, the sales of Xiaobawang not only did not drop, but also rose a little because of the summer vacation. The horrible sales made the cash flow of Xiaobawang Electronics Factory more and more, and the outside world's speculation about Xiaobawang became more and more confusing.

Some professionals even speculate that Xiaobawang's sales this year will reach more than 5000 million, and its net profit will be [-] to [-] million, so the valuation of Xiaobawang may be hundreds of millions.

If Xiaobawang attacks foreign countries, including several countries in Southeast Asia, to seize the Famicom market, there may still be room for these figures to rise.

It's a pity that the old branch secretary didn't know about Xiaobawang, so what Chen Zhikai knew about Chen Song was limited to the 'Jiajiale Supermarket' and the dendrobium factory in the village.

Although Chen Zhikai was surprised that the other party was able to open the supermarket to the whole country, overturning the assumption that he was just a million-dollar household, but thinking of his net worth of hundreds of millions overseas, he still didn't take Chen Song seriously, and just regarded him as a junior.

"This Chen Song is the son of Lao Qi's family, the grandson of Lao Qi."

"That's considered an acquaintance. According to seniority, he still has to call me uncle, right?" Chen Zhikai joked.
