Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2628: Being willing to accept good advice is an advantage

The people in the old infrastructure company have a dinner together on New Year’s Eve every year. This tradition has been going on for many years.

But now that we have a nursing home, we are together every day, and we all want to go home during the Chinese New Year.

Finally, Ruyi decided to call all the family members over to spend the 30th day together.

Before the establishment of nursing homes, we used to have New Year’s Eve dinner in the steel plant’s canteen.

Although there were a lot of people, the restaurant definitely couldn't accommodate them all, so we simply cleared out the hall on the first floor and put tables and chairs in it. It became lively and popular with people of all ages.

The open space in front of the nursing home is filled with fireworks, waiting for the New Year’s bell to ring.

The time in northern Xinjiang is two hours later than that in the mainland, and dinner normally starts at 10 o'clock, which is just right for the New Year's Eve.

The New Year’s Eve dinner started at 11 o’clock and everyone became busy.

Yang Geyong and Zhao Linger also rushed back, but Liu Qinghua did not come back. It was too busy over there. The old man was eager to expand and did not want to waste time because of the New Year.

However, as a family member of Liu Qinghua, Lily was invited to celebrate the New Year together with Wei Yuxiang's family.

Wei Yuxiang's parents died early, so he was raised by the company, so he was an indispensable attendee at the annual gatherings.

Liu Neng became the star of the gathering just because of that piece of land, although the land had just been leveled and was still some distance away from being suitable for farming.

But so what? Which piece of land was not reclaimed by the soldiers of the Corps in this way?

There is no shortage of land in the northern border, what is lacking is only land that can be cultivated. Isn't this what they have been doing for two generations?

They never fought for an inch of land from the local people; all the land was taken from the Gobi Desert.

Liu Neng was very excited, and after drinking a little, he was not only talking nonsense but also talking nonsense. At this moment, he was standing on a chair, raising his arms and swearing:

"I, Liu Neng, am the son of Liu Qingshan and the son of the Infrastructure Company. I promise to triple the arable land in the Military Reclamation City in the next three years!"

"Wow..."

Applause broke out, and the construction company's generation of military reclamation city clapped their hands desperately, their dry eyes becoming moist.

For them, the current achievements of the Military Reclamation City may not be as exciting as the expansion of land area.

Each generation has its own mission. They were brought in by the old leaders, and their mission is to reclaim wasteland, defend the country, and turn the 160 million square kilometers of land in northern Xinjiang into a big granary and grassland.

Yang Geyong nudged Ye Yuze and asked, "Do you think it is possible to divert water from the Yarlung Zangbo River?"

Ye Yuze shook his head. He didn't know that either. After all, the project was too huge, so huge that even he, the president of the Warrior Group, dared not even think about it.

But now Liu Neng is working hard, Liu Qinghua is working hard, and all the old comrades are working hard.

He didn't want to judge whether this matter was right or wrong, and he was not qualified to analyze the feasibility of this matter. People always need to have some spirit in life.

For example, Uncle Wei, who is sitting in the corner drinking with Ye Wancheng at this moment, has wrinkles on his face like pine bark, and his back is beginning to hunch, but doesn’t he still patrol the border every day?

Is he really needed on the border? There are border guards and border patrols there. He can just lie in a sanatorium and enjoy his life.

But until now, except for the 30th day, he still walks on the border every day.

For this reason, many people do not understand him and think that the old man is just putting on a show.

But only their generation will understand that it is not just a show, but a spirit and a sentiment. Being born as a military settler, one must take root here like a tree.

It was Lily's first time attending such a party. She felt a little excited but also a little overwhelmed. She understood that this party actually had nothing to do with her.

She exists only for her man.

She has been feeling uneasy lately. Her sister is pregnant, and the manager she hired is also pregnant, but she is the only one who hasn't made any progress.

It’s really not her fault. Her sister has always been clinging to Lao Liu, and not long after, Lao Liu went abroad.

But Lily has already decided that next time they meet, she will never give in to anyone again.

If for no other reason than to allow Lao Liu's descendants to reproduce forever on this land.

We had a great time drinking. Ruyi was the most talkative person on this day every year. Old comrades can drink a little. Of course, the amount is actually very pitiful.

But having a drink is better than nothing.

The old comrades no longer like setting off fireworks, and neither does Ye Yuze and his generation. Naturally, it is Ye Mao and his generation who are now doing it.

Yang Wei and Ye Feng brought a group of young people, each holding a cigarette and taking their positions. Then, at a command, the cigarette butts in their hands simultaneously reached for the fuse.

There are actually big changes in Junken City during the New Year.

When Ye Wancheng and his group first arrived, they set off guns on the night of the 30th. Where did they get the firecrackers at that time?

Not only did they fire guns, but when they were happy they even placed explosive packs just to add to the atmosphere.

By the time Ye Yuze and his generation came around, they had little red whips.

The "pop, pop" sound sounded like a fart in the silent mountains.

However, the Little Red Whip could not meet the supply, so Ye Yuze and his team disassembled bullets and studied many weapons with unique characteristics.

Yang Geyong still can't get a finger off the black stain, which was caused at that time.

The two sneaked into the ammunition depot through the window and took out half a bag of gunpowder. Not only did they study a lot of firecrackers, but the fish under the ice were also in trouble.

Both of them received a severe beating for this, but that was the fight that made them famous among the other kids.

By the time of Yang Wei's generation, they naturally had everything, even because of the easing of international tensions and stricter weapons management regulations.

The gun, an old companion that accompanied the lives of the Corps members, was eventually put into storage. As for Yang Wei and his friends, their childhood was naturally filled with firecrackers.

Guns are only taken out for training at specific times.

Today's fireworks are becoming more and more advanced. The dazzling flames display various colors and shapes in the sky, competing with each other in beauty.

Adults, children, and old people screamed and shouted along with the fireworks.

Liu Qinghua hid in the room, Sophia snuggled in his arms, and the two of them held up their phones and watched the live broadcast sent by Lily.

Liu Qinghua burst into tears and was choked with sobs, unable to speak.

He came to Xinjiang in 49, when he was still a child, following the old leader to measure the land step by step. He is not from northern Xinjiang, but he can't remember what his hometown looks like at all, because only here is the place where he gave everything.

From a soldier to a squad leader, platoon leader, instructor and finally a political commissar, he was a completely qualified soldier who obeyed orders and was not afraid of hardship or death.

Later on, he didn't know how to define himself anymore. He led his group to build a modern city on this barren land.

Of course, all this is thanks to that child, a child that Liu Qinghua felt was extraordinary from the moment he met him.

Liu Qinghua still doesn't know whether he was stupid or not. A regimental-level cadre was actually ordered by a child without hesitation.

But now he understood that if he had not been stupid back then, there would definitely not be the military reclamation city today.

Of course, now that he is retired, the past glory naturally has nothing to do with him. He is currently just an old man in Junken City. A bystander.

As a military reclamation soldier, he was undoubtedly qualified. He devoted everything he had to this land and achieved outstanding results.

But as an ordinary person, he was a failure. He was alone when he was old, and his wife and children left him.

He never complained about his wife. That woman only wanted a warm home and the life that an ordinary woman wanted, but he couldn't give them.

Most of his salary was used to help his comrades, and the number of times he went home in a year could be counted on one hand.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Under normal circumstances, his wife could have gone with him, but the woman didn't want to suffer, so the two had to live apart for a long time.

Speaking of which, the woman is not wrong in this matter. After all, which woman doesn't like a more comfortable life?

She was a doctor with a stable job, so there was no need for her to run around with Liu Qinghua.

In the end, their marriage came to an end, and even a third party appeared.

Liu Qinghua did not make a fuss, he even knew clearly who that person was.

The reason why he didn't make a fuss was because he knew how difficult it was for women. It was normal for some people to take advantage of him when he was away for a long time.

Although he had every ability to bring disgrace upon them, he ultimately chose to leave the woman with some dignity.

In the end, the woman left Northern Xinjiang without saying goodbye to him, so he had no idea where she and the child had gone, and he didn't want to know.

I thought his life had ended like this, just like an ordinary old man, watching his children grow up and watching the military reclamation city prosper day by day.

As a result, a trip to Africa turned everything upside down again.

He had been self-disciplined all his life, and now he has two wives. Then his pension is gone, so of course he doesn’t want to collect it. He is too embarrassed to ask for it.

He could only fight hard, but he didn't expect that he would gain another world.

He never valued money in his life, but he happened to have money again, countless times more than he had earned from working for decades.

This money made him panic and nervous, and he didn't know what to do. Subconsciously, he felt that he shouldn't have so much money.

Then, Liu Neng appeared, and that piece of land made Liu Qinghua see his own value again.

Compared to the past, he has changed a lot. At least he knows that he has to be responsible for his woman and even more so for his children.

Instead of just working, women have to take care of everything on their own.

His original intention of making money was to support his woman and children, but the huge amount made him feel insecure.

Now he has found his goal again, and this goal is not contrary to his original intention.

He wanted to make money, a lot of money, and use the money to transform the land in northern Xinjiang.

Having spent half his life in the Northern Frontier, no one is more familiar with the place than him. If only half of it is transformed, it will become a huge granary.

Liu Neng acted on impulse and shouted slogans that he himself did not understand, but Liu Qinghua's support for him was not mindless.

Take the issue of bringing water into Xinjiang for example. Liu Qinghua feels that it is feasible. Firstly, there is a huge altitude difference, and secondly, the two provinces are adjacent to each other.

Of course, the cost was huge. The cost of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was obvious to all. What was paid was not only money, but also so many lives.

But things are different now. The various equipment and machinery are completely different from the past. At least Liu Qinghua wants to give it a try.

Of course, he also knew that it was extremely difficult to apply for funding for such a project, so he encouraged Liu Neng to submit a report and proposed that he would not ask for a penny from the government and would pay for it all by himself.

Of course he knew that this report would definitely not be approved as there were too many things to consider, and it even involved international disputes.

But he still didn't want to give up. He didn't have much time left in this life. He had made contributions to the Military Reclamation City, but he wanted to create a bigger miracle.

But creating this miracle requires money, and the amount will be astronomical.

But he doesn't care, he just tries his best. Only by trying can you know whether something works or not.

He now has 5000 billion US dollars in his hands, which is definitely not enough.

But he is still making money. Every time he opens another chain store, his income will increase. He can save it bit by bit.

As long as people are alive, everything is possible.

Today's Sofia Hall has caused a storm in Europe and the United States, with all kinds of reports flooding in.

It took only one year for a little old man from China to go from being penniless to being worth hundreds of billions. This is a miracle. The speed of making money is comparable to that of financial tycoon Soros.

Therefore, countless reporters wanted to interview Liu Qinghua, but were all rejected.

Every time the reporter met, it was Yang Baodi. This girl spoke simply as always. She could talk about the future of the club and the direction of development. As for the boss's situation, she had nothing to say.

Countless reporters came with great excitement, but returned empty-handed. Only high-end clients of the club could see Liu Qinghua.

However, the shareholders of Sofia Club are not just the same few people now. Due to the large number of shares sold, the number of shareholders has grown to more than a dozen.

Of course, Liu Qinghua strictly controls the number of personal purchases. This is written in the company's articles of association. If someone maliciously acquires other people's shares through other means, the company will deal with it seriously.

At present, Liu Qinghua has stopped selling shares, which was also suggested by Soros, the largest shareholder besides Liu Qinghua.

In the eyes of this financial overlord, Liu Qinghua's behavior was undoubtedly like throwing money on the ground and asking others to pick it up, but that's not how finance works.

He advocates that the company should focus on development now, open Sofia Clubs in every city, and then reap the profits.

Liu Qinghua is a person who is quick to accept advice, otherwise there would not be the current Ye Yuze. This American is obviously more capable than Ye Yuze in this regard, so he must be obedient!

Although having more shareholders means more troubles, there are also more people doing things. Plus, the team that was originally formed is now skilled, the development of Sofia Club has entered a blowout period!
Comrades, here we come
