The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 841 Winning glory for the country
When leaving Factory 356.

Liu Tao instructed his secretary to find out if anything had happened in Feng Defeng's family.

In the evening, the secretary reported to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Every family has its own problems.

Feng Defeng's eldest son was studying at the University of Hong Kong, where he met a Japanese student. The two fell in love and are now discussing marriage.

On New Year's Day, Feng Xinghua brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents. Feng Defeng only then found out about this and was almost furious.

Feng Defeng's grandfather was an officer of the Expeditionary Force. He went into Burma to fight and there has been no news since then. No one knows whether he is dead or alive, but it is very likely that he is dead.

Feng Defeng's father was killed in battle with the Japanese army on the eve of victory in the Anti-Japanese War when Feng Defeng was just born. It was Feng Defeng's mother who raised him with great difficulty.

Two generations of people died at the hands of the Japanese. It is conceivable that Feng Defeng has a deep hatred for the Japanese in his bones.

When Feng Defeng was young, he joined the army just to wait until the war broke out, kill more Japanese while defending his country, and avenge his grandfather and father.

Now, his own son, the eldest son, is going to marry a Japanese woman.

This was simply hard for Feng Defeng to accept, and he almost went crazy.

If Feng Defeng's wife had not held Feng Defeng tightly, Feng Xinghua would have been shot to death by Feng Defeng.

Feng Xinghua took his girlfriend and left Kunming and returned to Hong Kong, but Feng Defeng couldn't sleep or eat well these days. He felt ashamed of his motherland and his ancestors.

Liu Tao had some understanding of Feng Defeng's situation.

If he liked Japanese people and wanted to marry a Japanese woman, his father Liu Zhenbang would probably be angered to death.

However, Liu Tao is more open-minded about this. He thinks that if his daughter wants to marry a Japanese, it is absolutely impossible and he will never accept it. He will even break his daughter's legs and keep her at home for the rest of her life. But if his son wants to marry a Japanese, it is not unacceptable. Dating Japanese women and marrying Japanese women is to bring glory to the country.

If you enter the Chinese world, you become Chinese; if you enter the barbarians, you become a barbarian!
Once you marry into China, you are naturally no longer a Japanese, but a Chinese!
Liu Tao asked his secretary to prepare some snacks for his home, and then he personally called Feng Defeng to invite him to drink together.

The last time we drank together was at a dinner party after the mid-year party group meeting.

If the two of them were drinking, it would have to be traced back to several years ago when Feng Defeng was in charge of Panshan Group's business in Guangdong Province.

after an hour.

Feng Defeng came to Liu Tao's house.

In addition to Feng Defeng, there is also Feng Defeng's lover.

There were bruises on Feng Defeng's lover's face, probably because she was beaten by Feng Defeng.

Liu Tao sighed inwardly.

Feng Defeng's wife, Chen Ruhua, is an honest woman who used to take care of the children and keep the family in order. When the children were in junior high school, Chen Ruhua went to work in the canteen, with a red armband on her shoulder, to patrol to see if anyone wasted food and criticize and educate those who did.

The incident involving Feng Xinghua made Feng Defeng take his anger out on this woman.

"Come on, Lao Feng, sit down. We haven't had a drink together for a long time." Liu Tao said with a smile, picking up a bottle of Maotai wrapped in tissue paper: "I don't have much Maotai from 73, and I usually don't want to drink it!"

In 1973, the sunflower brand Kweichow Moutai was packaged in tissue paper. The output that year was 664.5 tons, and the market retail price reached 8 yuan per bottle at that time.

At that time, when everyone's wages were so low, this price was equivalent to a sky-high price.

By now, this kind of wine has almost disappeared from the market and is out of stock even if you want to buy it.

It is estimated that only some enthusiasts still have it in their collection.

Liu Tao doesn't have many hobbies. He usually likes to buy some famous domestic wines for collection, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings.

"It must be that you, the factory director, have good wine!" Feng Defeng smiled, "This stuff is very rare, very rare." Now the market retail price of Moutai, that is, the newly produced iron-capped Moutai, has reached 320 yuan.

An average family probably wouldn’t be able to afford to buy even one bottle in a year.

Not to mention the 73 Moutai that Liu Tao took out.

Liu Tao took out the bottle of Moutai, opened the lid, and immediately the strong aroma of wine came out, making people feel very comfortable.

That’s what good wine is like, you know it as soon as you smell it.

Liu Tao poured a glass of wine for everyone.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was almost the same.

"Come here, Lao Feng, let me toast you. I heard that your boss brought glory to the country, defeated tens of millions of Japanese and won a Japanese girl," Liu Tao smiled.

Feng Defeng's smile disappeared, and he became depressed and said, "Has this matter also reached you, the factory director?"

"Alas, I feel so sorry for my motherland and my ancestors for not educating my children well." Feng Defeng's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but shed tears.

It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but only when they are heartbroken.

Feng Defeng, a man of steel, burst into tears at this moment, his face full of regret and self-blame.

He felt that he had not educated his children well. If he had, this kind of thing would not have happened.

He regretted and blamed himself, thinking that he should not have sent his child to Hong Kong University. If his child had not gone to Hong Kong University, this kind of thing would not have happened.

When other people get their children married, they are all very happy, but he is not like this, he feels like the sky is falling.

Chen Ruhua lowered her head and cried silently.

"It's all my fault. Mr. Feng is busy with work and has no time to take care of the children. It's my fault that I didn't educate the children well." Chen Ruhua blamed herself.

"Old Feng, if it rains, it will rain, and if my mother wants to get married, let it be." Liu Tao stood up and patted Feng Defeng on the shoulder: "The hatred of the previous generation cannot be passed on to the next generation. The children are innocent."

"Besides, this is marrying a wife, marrying a Japanese wife. This is a good thing. Letting a Japanese woman give birth to children for the Chinese people is an honorable thing." Liu Tao persuaded.

As a leader, you also need to care about the lives of your subordinates.

Feng Defeng’s current situation is very bad.

Liu Tao doesn't want Feng Defeng to fail to get over this hurdle.

Zhu Lin also said: "Yes, Lao Feng, Sister Chen, this is a good thing, a very glorious thing. Our Lao Liu always said, if you enter China, you should be Chinese, if you enter the barbarians, you should be barbarians!"

"When this Japanese girl marries a Chinese, she is no longer Japanese, but Chinese," Zhu Lin said. "Now in our Yunnan Province, many people marry girls from Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Annan, and no one says anything."

In Yunnan Province, intermarriages across borders are common.

Otherwise, many men would not be able to find a wife.

The huge market naturally creates huge momentum, and cross-border marriages happen naturally.

After being persuaded by Liu Tao and his wife, Feng Defeng and his wife gradually felt better.

That night, Liu Tao opened two bottles of 73 Moutai. Feng Defeng and his wife were both drunk, so Liu Tao asked someone to send them home.

In fact, they live very close to each other, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are neighbors.

Just walk a few dozen meters and you will arrive.
