Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1042 The Grand Reunion in 1981

Since Chu Xiangqian wanted to find a scapegoat, he saw that the East German people were already exploring the area inside and outside the dock.

He also took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the warehouse where the panels were stored to check.

Why not take the initiative to provide some convenience to these East Germans?

He called the dock and said he needed to hire a truck and a driver to transport the panels to West Berlin.

The East Germans were overjoyed when they heard the news and immediately started looking for trucks.

Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy to see that the East Germans had fallen into the trap. At the same time, he transferred money from the offshore bank and ordered a batch of panels to be sent to Lyon, France.

He spent half a month traveling to more than a dozen cities in Europe and put all the things into the Novice Village warehouse.

The batch of electrical panels in the port of Bremen were also smuggled away by people from East Germany.

What Li Jingxiao didn't expect was that this batch of solar panels was not shipped to West Berlin, but was hidden in a warehouse a few kilometers away from the port.

It seems that this is actively creating the impression that not only were the items stolen, but they were also stolen during transportation.

After the storm has subsided, these panels will be shipped to East Germany.

But Chu Xiangqian planned to let the East Germans take the blame for himself.

How can these people get what they want?

Just as he was about to command Huang Diao'er to run to the warehouse and create an artificial short circuit.

However, it was discovered that this warehouse area also stored a batch of precision CNC machine tools produced in West Germany in the 1970s.

Although it was already 81, it was not considered the most advanced machine tool.

But for China, if it can get these machines and replicate 7% of their functions, it will be a huge progress.

Chu Xiangqian immediately had an idea.

It took more than ten hours to drive a motorcycle across more than 7 kilometers from Lyon to Bremen.

Then, a short circuit occurred in the warehouse where the electrical panels were stored.

He set fire to several other warehouses as well.

Among them is a warehouse that stores more than 20 machine tools.

Once the fire started, even though it would destroy the batch of panels, Chu Xiangqian's goal would be achieved.

After the warehouse fire was extinguished, the Bremen police soon discovered.

The electric panel that was supposed to be shipped to West Berlin was not shipped to West Berlin, but was hidden in Bremen.

Moreover, the owner of one of the warehouses said that the 24 CNC machine tools he ordered were originally going to be shipped to the University of Southern California by sea.

But the goods were gone.

The West German police became nervous in an instant.

Although the theft of the battery packs was a serious matter, the batch of battery packs was still in Bremen.

But the twenty-three CNC machine tools were missing, and the problem became serious.

Moreover, it was easy for the West Germans to suspect that the person who stole the circuit board hid it in the warehouse and took the opportunity to transport the machine tool away by truck.

But they didn't expect that a fire would occur due to a short circuit, and this was exposed.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care how West Germany and Meiguo investigated. Anyway, he had already received the second batch of panels he ordered in Lyon.

Half a month later, a 50,000-ton cargo ship docked at the Tianjin Port.

Tang Lianxin and Xue Jianguo were standing in the office building at the dock, staring at the containers being unloaded from the cargo ships.

After getting the customs clearance list and confirming that all the containers Chu Xiangqian mentioned were there, I felt a little relieved.

However, only when this batch of goods is shipped to the secret underground warehouse can we feel truly at ease.

Three days later, Chu Xiangqian, who was in Hong Kong Island, received a call from Beijing.

I heard my father-in-law say, "I have received the supplements for the old lady. Don't be so troublesome next time. We don't need those things at home."

Besides, it can be bought in the old drugstores in Beijing, so there is no need to waste money.' Chu Xiangqian finally felt relieved after hearing this.

The supplements have been received, this batch of goods has arrived safely and has been sent to the secret base.

'Don't waste your money' is a hint to not take risks in the future.

Chu Xiangqian chatted with his father-in-law for a while, and after hanging up the phone, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

I don’t believe that the higher-ups would be dissatisfied with those 23 CNC machine tools.

China will be restricted by large, heavy and precise machine tools in the next 20 to 30 years.

Although these machine tools were produced in the mid-1970s, they were cutting-edge equipment in the world in the early 1980s.

Not to mention buying it, you won’t even be allowed to see it.

Even the technical parameters may not be known to China.

Until more than 20 years later, China could only produce some low-end machine tools.

Moreover, West Germany's technology in machine tools has always been more powerful and advanced than that of China and Japan.

It can be said that Deguo people have been among the best in the research and development and manufacturing of mechanical equipment for a long time.

Even in China forty years later, with the explosion of all kinds of advanced equipment and military equipment, there are still some things that China cannot compare to Germany.

Another month passed, and Chu Xiangqian received a call from Margaret, saying that Nata and Jingxing were ready and would fly to Beijing the next night.

Chu Xiangqian then brought his entire family, as well as Bu Huaquan, Aiyuan and his two nephews Bu Jingli and Bu Jingwang, back to the capital to celebrate the New Year.

The next day after returning to the capital, Chu Xiangqian took his children to the forest farm to pay homage to their grandfather.

It was the first time for the two little ones, Bujingli and Bujingwang, to come to the forest farm and pay homage to their uncle.

So I'm curious about everything.

After the worship, I heard Ehime say that she lived in a forest farm when she was a child and saw the mud houses that have been preserved.

The brother and sister suddenly remembered that their father, grandmother and grandfather had also had a hard life in the past.

While feeling a little depressed, I thought of my biological mom and dad. They used to say that if it weren’t for my uncle, our family wouldn’t be living as well as it is now.

Looking at Chu Xiangqian's gaze, he couldn't help but admire him more and more.

In the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian went to the airport to pick up Margaret, Nata and Jingxing to take them home.

This was Nata’s first time in the capital, and she was attending a big gathering of the Chu family. She was excited but also a little nervous.

Fortunately, both Xue Jinglan and her family, as well as the children, had basically known about Nata's existence for a long time.

Jingrong and Jingxing often go to the three major European film festivals with Nata.

So after returning home, I saw Jing Rong, Jing Yu, and other younger brothers and sisters personally welcoming me at the gate of the courtyard.

The tension in my heart immediately dissipated.

At night, Chu Xiangqian slept next to Margaret and Nata, which completely dispelled the woman's concerns.

He began to actively integrate into Xue Jinglan and her group's circle.

After Margaret pulled her along and played mahjong a few times with her master's wife, Xue Jinglan, Gangsheng, Feifei and others, the strange feeling soon disappeared.

And just like Margaret, I was easily fascinated by the Great Wall.

As for the second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, Ai Yushui, Ai Minjingru and Ai Qiu.

Apart from the initial curiosity about Nata's appearance, after just having a meal with her, he treated Nata the same as Gangsheng and the others.

Second uncle and third uncle wanted to persuade Chu Xiangqian to take it easy.

After all, he will be 42 after the Chinese New Year, but looking at Chu Xiangqian's face, which looks younger than Aiguo and Aimin, the second and third uncles couldn't help but remember that the master and mistress had said that Chu Xiangqian had a great talent for martial arts.

It would be a bad thing for him not to find more wives.

I won’t persuade you anymore.

Moreover, when the second uncle and second aunt thought of their youngest son Ailin, they suddenly felt overwhelmed.

This kid hasn't been in Hong Kong Island at all in the past two years.

Either in London or in Singapore, he would have fun while managing Chu Xiangqian's businesses in the two cities.

I don’t know how carefree my life is.

Let him find a good girl and settle down. It can be delayed as long as possible.

I was so desperate that I just stayed in Singapore and didn't come back for the New Year.

Chu Xiangqian had no idea what to do with this kid, and he felt regretful that he should not have sent him to Hong Kong Island to study when he was a teenager.

If he had stayed in the capital city with the same patriotism and love for the people, he might have had several children, let alone getting married.

We can only arrange people to protect him and keep an eye on this kid to make sure he doesn't get involved with tobacco, free stuff and gambling.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian threw Ailin and Norton to Kumiko, and they suffered for three months on the training island.

Although the two brothers have been having fun over the years, they have never crossed Chu Xiangqian's bottom line.

And Norton, like Ailin, had never thought about getting married.

But Norton doesn't need Chu Xiangqian to worry about it.

On the fourth day after Chu Xiangqian returned to the capital, he was taken to the palace by Xue Jianguo.

When he came out, he sat in the car reluctantly and took off a golden medal from his chest.

He carefully placed it in the gift box, and then said to Xue Jianguo who was driving with emotion, "I didn't expect that I, Chu Xiangqian, would have the opportunity to get this kind of medal.

If I take this to see my father-in-law, he might have to salute me."

Xue Jianguo, who was driving, couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he was indeed very envious in his heart.

I thought to myself, if you have the ability, when you really meet my dad, if you dare to call him 'old man', I will really admire you.

Then, thinking about what Chu Xiangqian had done for the Celestial Empire over the years, Xue Jianguo felt that it was not worth mentioning an individual special merit.

Even if there are one or two more, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.

My heart immediately felt balanced.

It’s not that I don’t work hard, it’s just that my brother-in-law is too outstanding and incredible.

Just those 23 CNC machine tools, not to mention how important they are to China, cost more than 10 million US dollars.

This is the price for transactions within Europe and the United States. If you sell it to China, even if you pay twice or three times more, they will not sell it to you.

I also heard that these machine tools are of great help in the manufacturing of aircraft engines.

Xue Jianguo admired Chu Xiangqian more and more.

Adding the items on the previously confirmed purchase list, the things Chu Xiangqian brought back this time were worth nearly 30 million US dollars.

At that time, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only 27 billion.

After returning home, Chu Xiangqian casually hid the medal in the game warehouse.

He asked Xue Jianguo, "Would you like to have a quick lunch here?"

Xue Jianguo shook his head and said, "Your sister-in-law and those two guys, Zhirui and Zhikai, must be waiting for me to come back."

Chu Xiangqian nodded. Now that he had a wife and a son, he was naturally not as casual as before.

I can eat at my sister and brother-in-law's house and eat as long as I want.

After watching Xue Jianguo leave, Chu Xiangqian walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Soon, Jingyu was seen holding Jingxi again, whispering to each other in the yard while enjoying the cold wind.

Chu Xiangqian had such good hearing that he easily heard that Jing Yu was fooling Jing Xi again.

She said that when she came back, she would ask Jingxi to pester her biological father to take them and Bu Jingli to go ice skating in Houhai.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this.

However, Xue Jinglan was afraid that because her daughter was too beautiful, she would probably meet some young men who would approach her when she went ice skating.

Over the years, she has never been allowed to go, and even when she goes out, she must be followed by two groups of guards, one openly and one secretly.

Suddenly I felt the same situation again.

However, when Chu Xiangqian thought about his precious daughter having grown up and who knows which boy she would be taken advantage of in the future, he suddenly felt unhappy.

He took a deep breath, pretended to be unhappy, and walked into the middle courtyard with a sullen face.

Jingyu and Jingxi were very happy when they saw their biological father, but suddenly they noticed that their father's face looked wrong.

Jing Yu covered Jing Xi's mouth and whispered in her ear, "Xi Xi, Dad seems unhappy. Don't provoke him at this time, or he won't let us eat delicious food."

Jingxi is only two years and three months old. For children of this age, eating is the most important thing.

He nodded quickly, looking at Chu Xiangqian with a hint of fear.

However, when the little girl saw Chu Xiangqian suddenly smile, she immediately forgot about her fear.

He kept waving at his biological father, asking for a hug.

Jingyu felt a little jealous when he saw this.

After lunch, Chu Xiangqian originally planned to take a nap, but he saw his seven sons.

In addition, there are Jingye, Jingqi, and Jingju from the Aiguo and Aimin families, as well as Jingli and Jingwang from the Ehime family.

If we add Sha Zhu's children into the mix, let alone protecting cousins ​​Jing Yu and Jing Li, it would be good enough if they don't bully others.

So Chu Xiangqian hugged Jingxi and said with a smile, "Xixi, Daddy will take you, your sister, and your cousin to go ice skating, okay?"

A group of children had all stood up, planning to find their own companions and play by themselves.

Hearing their father and uncle say this, everyone looked over.

Xue Jinglan and several other women grumbled to themselves, worried that the children would catch a cold from the cold wind.

But when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Chu Xiangqian didn't have many opportunities to communicate with the children.

The women immediately shut up.

Although Feifei and Jinzhi are almost 40 years old, their personalities have nothing to do with calmness.

When I heard about going ice skating, I immediately agreed.

Then Margaret, Nata, Alyssa and Linda were also excited to go together.

Lou Xiao'e was worried that Jingxi was still young, while Baoyi asked her biological mother Zheng Shufen to go and play with her.

Finally, Xue Jinglan, Gangsheng and Jin Xiu looked at each other and were thinking about going out for a walk.

But before he could open his mouth, his master's wife called him to play cards.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian started counting people, then called Zhang Haiyang and asked him to buy ice skates.

By the way, call Bu Huaquan and Aiyuan as well.

Bu Huaquan was willing to go, but Keaiyuan had lost interest in ice skating a long time ago.

He took Bu Huaquan and said he was taking him shopping and seeing how much the capital had changed in the past year.
