The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 945: Moving trees and moving dead people alive
Beijing, Siheyuan.

It was snowing lightly on New Year's Eve.

Everyone was having a reunion dinner. This is the time of year when the most people gathered together.

Although Liu Ziyu is 33 years old this year and still single, his parents are no longer urging him to get married.

After so many years, I've become tired and numb.

Of course, there are also people who are troubled during the Spring Festival, and that is Liu Jingming.

Liu Jingming is in a period of rapid physical development. His height is increasing rapidly and has reached 195cm. It seems that his height will continue to rise.

This means that Liu Jingming cannot continue to develop in the swimming world, because even if he has talent and even if he works hard, once his height and weight reach a certain level, he will not be able to reach the top in this field and will not be able to win a gold medal.

After winning the Olympic gold medal, Liu Jingming and Liu Yingqing’s goal is no longer to stay in China, but to compete with the world’s top athletes to become stronger and faster!
"When God closes a window for you, he will definitely open another one for you. Since you can't continue to develop in the swimming world, then change your career. Don't you like playing basketball? Then become a professional basketball player." Liu Tao listened to Liu Jingming's troubles and said to him calmly: "As the saying goes, a tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live. You should jump out!"

Liu Jingming was stunned for a moment, then looked thoughtful.

Liu Tao said: "The best basketball development in the world is now in the United States. The NBA has gathered a large number of excellent players. The best basketball players in the world are in the United States. After the Chinese New Year, you can go to the United States to study."

Liu Tao never opposed studying abroad. He believed that it was good to study abroad to see the outside world and learn something that China did not have.

Open your eyes to the world, learn from the foreigners so as to defeat them!
This is the essence that China has continuously summarized over hundreds of years.

In many aspects, China is still in the catching-up stage.

"Jingming is still so young, why does he want to study abroad?" Zhu Lin had some opinions.

She didn't want her child to leave her at such a young age, let alone go abroad.

Liu Tao said: "After the Chinese New Year, I will be 17 years old, not young anymore!"

"When you go to study in the United States, you can't forget your studies while playing basketball. You have to complete your studies!" Liu Tao said to Liu Jingming.

Liu Jingming showed an interested look. It was obvious that he could not go further in the swimming world, so changing track was an option he had to consider.

In the past, playing basketball was more of a hobby. When I was tired from swimming training, I would play basketball.

Trying to develop into a professional basketball player now is also a very good path, maybe it will work.

As a top swimmer, Liu Jingming is naturally in very good physical condition, and playing basketball is very demanding on the body.

Of course, there is a huge difference between basketball training and swimming training.

After the reunion dinner, Liu Tao made two phone calls.

The next day, the first day of the new year, the courtyard was particularly lively.

Chen Fang and others have been busy since early morning, preparing various snacks and fruits and helping to wash vegetables.

There were more than a dozen tables in the courtyard, and a retired imperial chef was hired to cook.

At ten o'clock, the relatives arrived one after another. Liu Qi came first with his wife and children. Seeing three more children, Liu Tao sighed in his heart.

Liu Qi, this bastard, had several women outside and had seven children with them.

These three children are all over seven or eight years old.

His wife was the only one who made a scene at first, but she just accepted it silently afterwards. If Qian Huaqiang dared to do this, Liu Tao would definitely break his legs.

Liu Tao’s bottom line is that those women cannot be taken home, and neither can the children.

In fact, his relatives are not just Liu Qi and Qian Huaqiang. All those who have gone out into the business world and have some money have mistresses and children.

If this happened in 1983, everyone would be arrested and fed peanuts.

It can be said that Qian Huaqiang and Liu Qi set a very bad example here and led others astray.

It's just that these bastards, while they are having a good time outside, their home is a mess, making his family a nobody. This makes Liu Zhenbang and Chen Fang very upset, so they just go out traveling most of the year.

Liu Hongying usually doesn't go back, but lives in Liu Tao's courtyard. She is too lazy to care about Qian Huaqiang's troubles and is busy with the business in the courtyard.

Liu Hongying and Chen Lijuan can be said to be in the same boat, but Liu Hongying is stronger than Chen Lijuan.

Liu Honglei and Chen Weimin did not return to Shanghai during the Spring Festival this year, because Chen Weimin will return to Guifei Group tomorrow to serve as the general manager of Guifei Group. Chen Weimin needs a lot of time to familiarize himself with the new job.

The next generation now has their own choices.

Liu Tao's children chose to be athletes. Liu Jingming and Liu Yingqing have each won three gold medals in the Olympics. They have brought honor to the family and can have their own page in the family tree.

Liu Hongying's child, Qian Zhenguo, started an Internet gaming company in Hong Kong and has received venture capital. The company is valued at HK$2 million and has a girlfriend of several years. Qian Lifang is now teaching at the school and studying for a doctorate. Qian Zhenhua is working hard to get a full scholarship to go to MIT.

Liu Honglei's child, Chen Weijiang, was assigned to a heavy composite battalion at the Zhurihe Military Training Base and is now the commander of a heavy tank company. Chen Weihong, who just passed Liu Tao's interview, will officially go to Southwest Associated University for postgraduate study after the Spring Festival. His supervisor is naturally Liu Tao, and this is the first time Liu Tao has accepted a student again after many years. Chen Weihua was successfully admitted to the National Defense University and is now a sophomore. After the Spring Festival, he will be in the second semester of his sophomore year.

The educational level of their next generation is much higher than that of Liu Tao's generation. And because Liu Tao attaches great importance to academic qualifications, others also follow suit, because without good academic qualifications, one cannot get a good job.

Many people of Liu Tao's generation had average education, so Liu Tao could only arrange average jobs for them, with better wages and benefits. However, the education level of the next generation has greatly improved, so Liu Tao arranged much better jobs for them. They were arranged to work in different units according to their education level, major and interests, some in state-owned enterprises, some in government departments, and of course some did not want to work in state-owned enterprises or government departments, and chose to be teachers, doctors or businessmen.

Their next generation works in all walks of life and has more choices.

What’s scary is that Liu Tao is even an uncle, and you have to know that Liu Tao is only 42 years old this year!
Some of their next generation’s children are already in primary school!

Liu Tao's youngest child is only 4 years old this year.

When being called great uncle or great uncle, Liu Tao always looked incredulous.

Liu Tao also clearly felt the passage of time. Before he knew it, it had been almost twenty years since he was reborn into this era.

Nearly twenty years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

Compared with China in 1978, China today has undergone tremendous changes.
