I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 225 Escaping from Hong Kong!
Before this, Lin Xiuzhi had never gotten along with domestic employees, and felt that their efficiency must be very slow.

After getting along with each other these days, she found that Tang Yun's personal ability is very strong, and those part-time employees who joined the Yang Group's Beijing office are really not bad at it.

Sometimes, Lin Xiuzhi also found that she was not as good as Tang Yun and the others.

Tang Yun seems to have adapted to the position of deputy director of the Beijing office now, and she doesn't seem very interested in the commission proposed by Mr. Yang.

The commission of 2000 yuan is indeed a lot.

However, that's not what Tang Yun wanted.

. . .

1978 10 Month 14 Day.

Yang Ming came to Yanjing No. 16 days.

That night, when Yang Ming saw Mr. Shen coming over, he knew he wanted to meet the old man alone.

Recently, Yang Ming has been going to meet the old man every night.

The more they met, the more familiar they became.

The old man admired Mr. Yang's opinion even more.

There are still a few days before the old man visits Toyo.

The old man knew that it took nearly half a month for Mr. Yang to be invited to Yanjing for the first time. As the chairman of a large group, it was impossible for him to stay in Yanjing for a long time.

Yang Ming went in in a wheelchair.

Obviously, before Yang Ming came, the old man still smoked.

After Yang Ming came, the old man put out the cigarette in advance and opened the window to let the cold wind outside blow away all the cigarette smell.

"Sir."

"Mr. Yang."

The two greeted each other.

When Yang Ming sat down, Mr. Shen went out and closed the door.

"Mr. Yang, I heard that your Yang Group's Beijing office has bought many houses in Yanjing."

The private buying and selling of houses by the natives of Yanjing did not start now.

always have.

Especially last year, it started to appear.

The old man will not interfere with this kind of matter, and he does not want others to interfere.

They want to sell, and Mr. Yang wants to buy. As long as the price is right, it is normal for the transaction to be fair and just.

The hottest old gentleman is shocked.

Representatives of other wealthy overseas Chinese businessmen came to Yanjing and stayed for a day at most, then hurriedly left Yanjing, as if they could not leave Yanjing safely if they did not leave as soon as possible.

Mr. Yang this person?

First, I went to visit the National Museum of History and bought all the calligraphy and paintings from the foreign guest service department.

It is said that a large sum of money was donated to the National History Museum.

It was another deal with Rongbaozhai.

Mr. Yang spent millions of RMB, nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars, to buy thousands of collections from Rongbaozhai, including calligraphy and painting collections.

500 Hong Kong dollars?
In the eyes of the old man, this is definitely a large sum of money in foreign exchange.

In other words, Rongbaozhai created a sum of foreign exchange for the country.

Only when the country gets more foreign exchange can it buy more foreign technology and other products.

For these, the old man also very much agrees.

The old man also found it strange that, like the calligraphy and paintings of those modern painters, many artists are still alive, and Mr. Yang bought them all at any price, making life easier for these modern painters and their families.

Even, they can continue to create continuously.

The old man couldn't understand these things. He felt that Mr. Yang was a capitalist, not the kind of capitalist he imagined.

In his opinion, people like Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang are capitalists.

Are they the same as Mr. Yang?

Of course not.

"Old man, I bought a lot of houses. They wanted to sell them, so I bought them. Before buying and selling, I asked the staff to investigate clearly. If there is a problem with the house, we will not buy it, and we don't want to cause follow-up series of questions."

Some of them were sold because of gambling losses.

Some are the only real estate in the family, and they want to sell it secretly.

Also, their family didn't agree at all.

and many more.

Yang Ming didn't want things like this.

The old gentleman nodded. He felt that Mr. Yang had done a particularly good job in this regard.

No wonder Mr. Yang can be so successful in Xiangjiang, there must be his reasons.

Next.

The two started talking about business.

"Mr. Yang, where is your hometown?" the old man asked.

Before Yang Ming came, he had thought about it.

Sure enough, the old man still mentioned his hometown.

Historically, those representatives of Chinese capital in Xiangjiang, the old gentlemen suggested that they go back to their hometowns to have a look, which would trigger their motivation and ideas to change their hometowns, and even change a country.

Hu Ying and others returned to Guangdong Province, or even their hometown, and saw the poverty of their hometown, which triggered their inner emotions and love for their hometown.

Invest your money directly.

Especially like investing in infrastructure.

Build bridges, build highways, build power stations.

These all cost a lot of money.

Now the country does not have so much money to invest in this area, so it can only rely on the Chinese capital returned from Xiangjiang.

After getting acquainted with Yang Ming, the old man also wanted to know more about the situation of Mr. Yang's hometown.

"Old man, where is my hometown? At first, I didn't know. However, my parents mentioned it to me. My father, Yang Jirong, came to Xiangjiang from Longchuan County in northern Guangdong in the 50s. I met my mother Li Yufang, and later I was born."

Yang Jirong ran to Xiangjiang from the 50s?
The old man thought a lot.

In the 50s, 60s, and even the 70s, even during this period, there have been smuggling people from China, especially from Guangdong Province, to Xiangjiang.

Why are they going to Xiangjiang?
Or because the country is too poor, too poor to support myself.

In China, ordinary farmers can't get enough to eat, and they don't even have a few dollars a month.

They successfully smuggled to Xiangjiang, easily hundreds or even thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month.

Even more smart people have become rich in Xiangjiang.

Thinking of this, the old gentleman also sighed.

"Does your father still have contact with his hometown?" the old man asked.

"There should have been correspondence in the past. I heard from my father that it has always been intermittent."

The old man nodded again.

In this era, the only ones in China that can really afford to use landline telephones are Yanjing and some government agencies in Shencheng, and ordinary people don't have them at all.

All together, there are still less than 200 million households in China.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for Northern Guangdong to keep in touch with Yang Jirong frequently?

"Does your father still have feelings for his hometown?"

"Yes, my father even wants to go back to his hometown in his dreams."

I heard Yang Ming say that.

The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew that some people smuggled into Xiangjiang from China and almost died. In this case, if they survived in Xiangjiang, how could they not have a grudge against the country?

In this way, how could they have feelings for the country?

They worked so hard to get there.

Speaking of Yang Ming's father smuggling to Xiangjiang, I have to talk about the history of fleeing Hong Kong.

From the 50s to the 80s, the illegal crossing of mainland residents into Xiangjiang basically ended. The reasons were political reasons at first, and then mainly economic reasons.

For nearly 30 years since then, the political Iron Curtain has not completely severed the umbilical cord between Xiangjiang and the motherland. Apart from limited official exchanges, non-governmental forms mainly of smuggling have always been active, and eventually gathered into a group of people who fled to Xiangjiang. Rush tide.

Taking Pengcheng as an example, in the public documents, there were four large-scale smuggling in the history of Pengcheng, namely 1957, 1962, 1972 and 1979.

According to statistics from the Office of the Frontier Port Leading Group of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, from 1954 to 1980, there were more than 56.5 incidents of "escape from Hong Kong" recorded in official documents.

At that time, there were three ways to smuggle across the Xiangjiang River in Guangdong Province: walking, swimming, and boating. According to the route, there were east, middle, and west routes.

Swimming is usually the first choice, and its methods can be described as varied.

Stowaways often choose the western route, starting from Shekou and the mangrove forest area, swimming across Pengcheng Bay, and arriving at Yuen Long in the northwest of the Hong Kong New Territories.

Smuggling from land is the usual middle line, that is, in the area of ​​Wutong Mountain and Shatoujiao in Pengcheng, crossing the barbed wire fence and arriving at the Xiangjiang River, which is nicknamed "pushing the net" by Cantonese people.

This kind of net is very difficult to turn over. Later, the barbed wire was equipped with advanced sensing devices, and it would be discovered as soon as it touched the net. The combination of searchlights, sentries and police dogs is a fatal danger.

In order to guard against dogs, smugglers who flee Hong Kong often go to the zoo to buy breeders before leaving, find some tiger feces, and spread them while walking. The police dogs smell the smell of feces and think there are tigers, so they dare not chase them.

In order to prevent being seen by the border guards, someone hollowed out the watermelon, put the skin on the head, and only exposed the eyes.

After all, it is the young people who go through the "net" on land and break the waves at sea. The only way for middle-aged and elderly people, children and women is to take a boat.

Taking a boat is relatively safe, but it has the nature of a community. There are snake heads, so there are naturally these people and snakes. If something happens, the problem is more serious, and you have to pay a large fee ranging from 300 yuan, but it is for fleeing Hong Kong. Many people and snakes often go bankrupt.

Smuggling by boat tends to be on the east route, that is, the Dapeng Bay waterway, between Huicheng and Pengcheng, more than ten kilometers away from the Xiangjiang River, and the waves are very strong, and drowning often occurs during smuggling.

Last year, in November 1977, after his comeback, Mr. Ye set the first stop of his inspection in Guangdong Province, and Mr. Ye was with him at that time.

When the main leaders of Guangdong Province reported the situation to the old gentleman, escape from Hong Kong was revealed as a major vicious incident.

While Guangdong Province was anxiously waiting for instructions, the old gentleman was surprisingly silent.

He smoked a few cigarettes, turned around slowly, and said calmly to everyone: "This is a problem with our policy, and this matter is beyond the control of the army."

The frontier defense at that time was almost powerless to deal with the intensified escape from Hong Kong. If we strengthened our forces and mobilized military and police from the whole province or even the whole country, it would definitely have a negative impact.

In addition to leaving a bad impression on the international community, more importantly, large-scale armed obstruction may cause public anger and form sudden mass incidents.

The old man emphasized the need to restore the effective policies in the past, develop the economy, and improve production and life, so that the problem of escape from Hong Kong can be solved.Fleeing from Hong Kong is mainly due to the bad life and the gap is too big.

At that time, the daily income of farmers in Baoan was 0.70 to 1.20 yuan, and that of Xiangjiang farmers was 60-70 Hong Kong dollars a day. The difference between the two was nearly 100 times.

In some areas, it is widely circulated that a year of hard work is not as good as someone else's 8 cents (referring to sending a letter to Xiangjiang to ask relatives to remit money back), and a month of labor in the inland is not as good as a day in Xiangjiang.

This also tempted many people to flee to Xiangjiang like one after another.

In 1978 alone, more than 9.7 people escaped from Hong Kong, and more than 1.8 escaped.

What is intriguing is that there was no Luofang Village in the New Territories of Xiangjiang, and all the people living here came from Luofang Village in Pengcheng.

The top decision-maker Mr. Lao once again realized from the historical vicious circle of fleeing from Hong Kong that it cannot be blocked by blocking alone, and the focus of the country's work must be shifted to economic construction.

The old gentleman went to Pengcheng to see it in person.

He also knew that those people smuggled into Xiangjiang and escaped death.

In addition to being dangerous in Pengcheng, it is also very dangerous to go to Xiangjiang. In addition to being shot and chased by the white sir, some even became black households because they had no relatives or friends to take refuge in.

Yang Ming knew better that next, around the Spring Festival in 1979, there would be a big wave of smuggling.

Historically, many people have died in the tide of smuggling, some of them died at sea, they may have been drowned, or they may have been fed to fish.

As a result, the rapid fleeing trend has also given birth to a new industry: "pulling corpses".

In its heyday, there were more than 200 "pullers" active in Pengcheng.

The Shekou Maritime Police Station stipulated that every time a "lashilo" buried a drowned body of a stowaway, he could go to the Shekou Commune to receive a labor fee of 15 yuan with a certificate. Yuan.

This amount is equivalent to 10 days' income of a villager.

On the Xiangjiang side, those who were drowned and could not be found may be fed to fish, or they may be pushed to other places by the sea water. Some corpses were found, or floated by the sea, and were eventually pulled to the mountains in the New Territories.

On the mountains of the New Territories, there have always been many tombs, some of which do not even have names, which were left by those stowaways back then.
