1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 674 Dream

On a cyber planet;
There are endless piles of discarded parts everywhere;

On the devastated land;
Under the dark sky, except for the occasional falling meteor of unknown origin, no other light can be seen;

Chasing the falling place of shooting stars,

Carefully pick out any reusable parts from the burning wreckage;

Returning with full loads time and time again,

Time and again, we set out again amid the frenzy and disappointment of our predecessors;

There was no sun or moon in the chaos, and finally all the parts were gathered;

The senior boarded the tattered rocket without hesitation;

Then it rose into the air with a piercing creaking sound;

The fire was blinding,

Just like the countless unknown meteors in the past, it once again added a touch of light to the dark night sky;
The whistling sound was deafening;
Adding a touch of angry vitality to this dead world;

Primary separation;
Secondary separation;

Finally, the tattered rocket hit the invisible barrier.

It turned into a fireball and returned to the Cyberland with the last ray of life;
Just like those unknown shooting stars in the past;
He lowered his head mechanically and blankly, looking at the old yellowed color drawing in his hand;

This is the last thing that the senior left in this world;
It was simply marked somewhere in the black sky, probably the shackles that one would try to break with all his life;

The image of the rocket crashing into the sky on the drawing clearly shows that this will come at the cost of lives.

When you feel lost and helpless, and don’t know whether you should follow the footsteps of your predecessors...

A faint light shone down from somewhere in the sky;
Looking up, the eternal black sky seemed to have some cracks on it, as if it were a thin curtain made by humans.
The light shone through the crack, which was the spot where the predecessors had risked their lives;
Just when I was wondering whether I should spend my whole life following in the footsteps of my predecessors...

One after another, hunched figures emerged from the ruins, staring at the light that shone through the cracks in fascination;
A thousand-year-old darkroom can be illuminated by just one light.

then……

Fireballs rose into the sky;

At the cost of his life, he turned the chaotic night sky into a dazzling light;

Target,

Pointing directly at the crack that was also created by the impact of life;

That was the only hope within sight during the endless cold years...

........................

A sigh,
Yang Mo woke up from his sleep.

For some reason, he had been having the same dream over and over again these past two days.

A dream that originated from an award-winning animated short film in later generations.

There is no ending at the end of the short film.

No one knows whether the densely packed old rockets, representing lives, can break through the invisible shackles on the sky, or will just turn into fireworks in the night sky in vain.

But that's not important...

Some things have to be done by someone.

………………

Zhuo Mali looked at the man beside her infatuatedly.

Why do his eyebrows frown so deeply even when he sleeps?

Is there something that you can't get over?

But he is only 27 years old and already a senior official.
Moreover, he will report to Beijing in a few days and become an important and powerful cadre in the Economic Reform Commission.

He was so young, but he rose to such a high position like a rocket, and it was a figure like Huang Puping who came to invite him personally. Even if you look at the whole country, it is a miracle like a myth.

Isn't this the time when we are in high spirits and galloping forward?

But why is his brow furrowed so deeply?

Is it that the task assigned by the Shangshu You Pushe is too difficult?
But why did he still agree?

He was originally from a central enterprise, and the head office had already extended a very sincere olive branch. If he felt that the work arranged by Huangputing was too difficult, he could simply use the head office as a shield and reject it... Even if it was Huangputing, it would be impossible for him to ignore the feelings of the head office.

But he still agreed.

Do you feel that there are some things you have to do?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Mali clung to this man who was two years younger than her like an octopus.

Men with masculine qualities are most attractive to women;

Although Yang Mo is not a big man, and does not have any muscles, he never speaks in a rude voice;
But she always believed that perseverance and courage were the qualities a man should truly possess;

And if a man has the courage to go forward even if there are thousands of people against him, then he is undoubtedly more manly than most men.

........................

Yang Mo was awakened from his deep thoughts by the soft touch on his body.

Since becoming his woman, this sister has been extremely obsessed with him in private, but has never crossed the line in other aspects, and she doesn't even have the slightest tendency to take advantage of others. She is a model of a mature woman.

Pulling on the large flowered quilt that is very characteristic of the Northeast, but seriously inconsistent with the stereotype that Zhuomali left on outsiders,
Yang Mo hugged this body that was still so sexy that it made him want to move even after being tossed around for half a night. "Sister Zhuo, I haven't been to Dezhou City Real Estate Company for a while. How long will it take for Lao Zhao to confirm your position as executive vice president?"

I turned my head and glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was still early.

Zhuo Mali took Yang Mo's hand and put it on the place he liked to play with most on weekdays: "How dare Lao Zhao neglect the things you asked? When you first went to the grassroots for inspection, the company had already passed the meeting and the appointment adjustment application had been reported to the organization... Calculating the date, it will probably be in the next two or three days."

Yang Mo nodded: "If you can come down in two or three days, that would be perfect. A new official has three things to do when he takes office. You can do a few things while I am not going to the capital yet."

Even though Yang Mo is already in the process of stepping down, being in Texas and not being in Texas are two different things, so the meaning of this statement is self-evident.

Zhuo Mali turned her head to look at her man, a little surprised: "What do you need me to do?"

Yang Mo habitually exerted force with his hands: "The first thing is that you, as the executive vice president of Dezhou Urban Development Company, go meet with Lao Liu, and then ask him to submit an application for a pilot program of a village bank based on the Islamic banking model as soon as possible... In short, I want to see this application within a week at most, which is within three days of my official transfer to the Comprehensive Planning and Pilot Program Department."

Zhuo Mali's face turned red due to Yang Mo's actions, but her voice was full of doubt: "But didn't Huangpu Pushe already agree to this matter? With him here, why should President Liu spend all this effort?"

Yang Mo smiled and said, "First, sometimes bottom-up and top-down are different. At least from a legal point of view, if Lao Liu takes the initiative to submit this application, it will make it much easier for Huangpu Pushe to do his job. "

"Secondly, if it was Huangpu Pushe who proposed the pilot project of the village bank at the meeting, then there would be many games and variables in the middle, and the qualification subject might not necessarily fall on Xialiu Distribution Co., Ltd.... I am doing this for the sake of the dumplings wrapped in vinegar, so naturally I don't want too many variables in the middle, so it is the safest choice for Lao Liu to propose this application and the pilot plan, and to lock the qualification subject on Xialiu Distribution Co., Ltd. from the beginning."

At this point, Yang Mo paused for a moment and said, "Third, I will be reporting to the capital in a few days. When I leave, many things may not be done accurately, so in addition to Lao Zhao, I need to find you a truly influential ally, otherwise it will be difficult for you to be the executive vice president;"

"Lao Liu is the ally I want to find for you... As the reform deepens, the banking system will become more and more important in the future;"

"The reason why Lao Liu was asked to submit this application and pilot plan is that Huangpu Pushe himself admitted that he would rectify the financial system next year... This is a risk, but also an opportunity;"

"The benefits of having Lao Liu show up at the Huangpu Pushe meeting in advance are self-evident."

"More importantly, with Lao Liu's rank, he is not qualified to directly put this application and pilot plan on the desk of the Comprehensive Planning and Pilot Department, or even in front of the Huangpu Pushe;"

"This requires at least 1-2 levels of links, so... you should understand the benefits of this to Lao Liu."

Zhuomali understood immediately.

Reporting across levels has always been a taboo in the workplace.

And Yang Mo needed Liu Jiong to put this application and pilot plan in front of him and even Huang Puting in the shortest possible time.

The meaning here is self-evident... When a subordinate can bring his superior to appear in front of the superior unit, and is even likely to make people like Huang Puting remember his name, then for this superior, if you don't know how to repay the favor, then you can forget about any development in the future.

Of course, Yang Mo gave Liu Jiong such a gift, which was neither big nor small, because he wanted to help him based on their past cooperation, but he was also secretly reminding Liu Jiong… Even though I have already left Texas and even though we are not in the same system, since I can help you, it will also be effortless for me to push you into the mud.

So, you know how you should behave in the future, right?

Zhuo Mali is not only my assistant and confidant, but also my woman. After I leave, remember to take the initiative to help her!
After Yang Mo finished speaking, he added, "By the way, remember to bring Lao Song along. Lao Song performed very well in Shenzhen this time. He has been worried and frightened for more than half a month. It's time to give him some compensation... Bring him over and show him to Lao Liu as one of their own. It will help him in his future work."

Rolling her eyes unhappily at this man who lacked confidence in herself, Zhuo Mali nudged herself into Yang Mo's arms and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for your sympathy for me, sir. When the appointment comes, I will go to see President Liu... What about the second thing? What do you want me to do?"

Yang Mo pulled his hand back and put his arm around Zhuo Mali's shoulders: "Sister Zhuo, aren't you from Fengtian? Do you want to go back to your hometown?"

Zhuo Mali looked at this man whom she could never figure out with some confusion.

Yang Mo laughed softly, but his eyes were a little distant. "After your appointment, I hope you can rush to the Northeast as the executive vice president of Dezhou City Real Estate Company. I will use you and your Zhuo family's past connections to help me acquire several key companies at all costs, and reorganize them and list them on the stock market. Cooperate with Dahua Company's super stock matrix to stabilize the stock market."

Merger and acquisition of key enterprises?

Zhuo Mali was startled and sat up straight, revealing her dazzling upper body. Although the performance has been declining in recent years, with the domestic T1-level industrial foundation, all the enterprises in Northeast China that can be called "backbone" are truly huge;

Yang Mo has always been known for his big spending, and none of the companies that he specifically named are simple.

Therefore, even if Yang Mo had already joined the Economic and Reform Commission at that time, even if there would definitely be official documents to support it, even if Dezhou Urban Development Fund Company was very famous and had its own investment business; even if Zhuo Mali and Zhuo's father still had some old friends in the Northeast, but due to a series of well-known reasons, how easy would it be to form a partnership and acquire key enterprises in the Northeast?

After thinking for a while, Zhuo Mali's voice was a little nervous: "Which units do you want to invest in?"

Yang Mo said without hesitation: "I hope to reorganize Shenyang Blower, Shenyang Pneumatic Tool Factory, Shenyang High Voltage Switch Factory, Shenyang Cable Factory, Shenyang Standard Parts Factory, and Dalian Rubber and Plastic Machinery Factory into 2-3 group companies... If conditions permit, when I buy shares in Shenyang Blower, I would also like to reorganize Shenyang Pump Factory and Shenyang Gas Compressor Factory."

"Of course, mergers and acquisitions are only the first step, listing is the second step, and the most important step is the third step... I want to relocate these companies to Dezhou, where the industrial base is no worse than that of the Northeast, or to Henan and Hebei under the framework of the Shandong-Henan-Hebei Industrial Association."

hiss~!

Even though she guessed that Yang Mo's work would not be simple, Zhuo Mali still couldn't help but gasp when she heard the names of these key enterprises.

But she didn't know that the reason why Yang Mo named these companies was not simply for the purpose of restructuring and listing to stabilize the stock market, but more for a rescue-style joint venture and equity merger.

It’s simply that these companies are too important for certain industrial upgrades and technological developments in China, and their future outcomes are too regrettable!
Shengang is a once very famous enterprise in Northeast China. Not only has it successfully reached several large-scale cooperation agreements with Siemens in the past two years, the local authorities even want to promote its joint venture process with Siemens.

After experiencing the pessimistic trend of foreign investment in the 1980s, Siemens still wanted to form a joint venture with it. There is no need to say more about Shengang’s foundation and strength... In fact, just a few years later, Shengang, despite the huge pressure of being sold at any time, achieved a technological breakthrough in ethylene plant compressors and large-scale fertilizer plant compressors. Its technology and independent research and development capabilities are truly amazing.

The Shenyang Pneumatic Tool Factory (later renamed Shenyang Rock Drilling Machinery Co., Ltd.) is also a heavyweight backbone unit that is not well-known in later generations but is extremely important and should not be underestimated.

It was one of the "156 items" in the "First Five-Year Plan" period, but was sold to Sweden's Atlas Copco in 2003. Since then, this backbone enterprise of rock drilling machinery and pneumatic tools with the oldest history in China and the largest in Asia has been divided into three.

Shenyang Cable Factory was also one of the "156 items" during the "First Five-Year Plan" period. It was once the largest comprehensive wire and cable manufacturing enterprise in China. Its main products included 7 categories, 70 series, 440 varieties, and more than 4 specifications. 21 of its main products won the titles of national, ministerial and provincial quality products, and its products were exported to more than 20 countries and regions... However, after privatization a few years later, it was difficult to find any trace of it.

Although Shenyang High Voltage Switch Factory is not one of the “156 items”, people who are familiar with the power system know that high voltage switches are one of the absolute core high-tech equipment in power equipment. In later generations, China’s ultra-high voltage electrical technology was unique in the world, and the breakthrough in high voltage switch technology was indispensable… Therefore, being located in Shenyang, one of the three major power transmission and transformation equipment manufacturing bases in China, one can tell the importance of this company just by hearing its name. However, it was said to have been sold to a Hong Kong businessman in later generations and its whereabouts could never be found again (it is rumored that when Siemens and GE acquired the Shenyang High Voltage Switch Factory, they staged a "dragon and tiger fight" to compete for this "big fat meat". The actual value of this company can be imagined).

Shenyang Standard Parts Factory was once the largest standard parts enterprise in China and even in Asia. Its predecessor was the Shenyang Screw Factory, the first large-scale professional enterprise producing fasteners in China established by the Ministry of Machinery Industry in Shenyang in 1953...

Shenyang Water Pump Factory and Shenyang Gas Compressor Factory are star-level enterprises that are not inferior to Shenyang Blower in scale. The centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors and pumps (mainly nuclear power plant pumps) they produce were once at the forefront of domestic technology. After the millennium, they were merged into Shenyang Blower.

Dalian Rubber & Plastic Machinery Factory, later merged into Dalian Bingshan Group, which produces refrigeration equipment, is one of the absolute backbone enterprises. It has successfully developed a large-scale compounding extrusion granulation unit. This equipment is the last major equipment to be "domesticated" in China's million-ton ethylene production unit. It is used to extrude polyethylene, polypropylene and other powders produced by the ethylene unit into granules that are easy to transport and use. It has become the fourth company in the world that can produce such equipment... Before this, there were only three companies in two countries in the world that could manufacture large-scale extrusion granulators, namely WP in Germany and Kobe Steel and Nippon Steel in Japan. Its importance can be seen from this.

In a word, Northeast China’s title of “the eldest son of the Republic’s industry” is not for nothing. There are more than one or two backbone enterprises like the above-mentioned ones that have unlimited potential and are the hope for industrial upgrading.
But unfortunately, in a few years, these backbone enterprises, which are considered priceless by future generations, will disappear into history for various reasons.

Since Yang Mo had promised Huang Puting to try to promote industrial upgrading across the region, as a reborn person, he naturally could not watch these sparks go out.

Therefore, even though everyone knows that it is difficult to merge and acquire these companies, and even has to face huge risks and resistance that outsiders cannot see at all, Yang Mo still plans to do his best to rescue them.

In fact, promoting the merger and reorganization of these enterprises in the name of stabilizing the stock market and relocating them to the Shandong-Henan-Hebei Industrial Manufacturing Cooperation Zone where he can basically control the situation is just the beginning.

In the future, there will be many, many burning companies that he will need to rescue at the risk of getting burned himself.

………………

Zhuo Mali was not a reborn person, and she did not know the sad ending of these companies a few years later.

But she understood Yang Mo.

After seeing the unyielding determination in this man's eyes, she unexpectedly found that she could not refute anything. She slowly leaned on Yang Mo's chest and nodded gently: "Okay."

Yang Mo captured the change in her expression accurately, smiled with relief, and then put his arm around her shoulders again: "Sister Zhuo, thank you."

Coming from a central enterprise, Yang Mo naturally knew how difficult this matter was. Even if there were official documents at that time, and even if Zhuo Mali and Zhuo's father still had some friends and old acquaintances in the Northeast, if Zhuo Mali, as the main participant, wanted to accomplish this matter quickly as desired, she would still need to pay a huge price.

It can be said that Zhuo Mali helped Yang Mo realize this plan at the cost of burning up her and the Zhuo family's last bit of personal connections in the Northeast.

So, Zhuomali fully deserves this thank you.

Hearing these two words from Yang Mo's mouth for the first time in her life, Zhuo Mali chuckled: "Why are you so polite? In the future, don't use weird tricks to mistreat your sister, and I'll be in heaven... A new official has three fires to start with. Tell me, how do you want me to burn the third fire?"

Perhaps because of too much pressure, Yang Mo became more and more violent in bed, which made her, who had less experience than Miss Mu, very tormented. If she had not loved this man so much, she would have kicked him away when faced with his weird ways of abusing him.

Yang Mo smiled wickedly, tightened his arm around Zhuo Mali's shoulders, but shook his head: "It's already very remarkable to be able to do these two things well... There is no third fire."

He is a man, and it is the limit of his woman's ability to help him with the second thing. He needs to deal with the rest of the things by himself.

It's just that he's touched, but facing such a lovely girl who would risk her life to please him, how can he show mercy in bed?

dream!

Seeing this guy, she skipped this part directly. Knowing that she would never escape his clutches, Zhuo Mali was so angry that her teeth itched. She bit her man's chest lightly, but her eyes turned and said, "By the way, brother, when you went to the grassroots to inspect the work some time ago, did you take the opportunity to take in the eldest sister of the Lu family?"

As she spoke, she lazily drew a circle on the shallow tooth mark she had just bitten. "Don't take your anger out on me, your sister. It's good to have someone else to take the blame for you... I think that girl has a strong body, she will definitely be able to withstand your torture!"

Yang Mo slapped her on the butt in annoyance: "Why are you being jealous?"

Zhuo Mali rubbed her buttocks and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Sister, why should I be jealous? Besides, even if I am jealous, it is the eldest sister of the Mu family. What kind of position do I come from?"

"What I mean is, brother, you are already short of manpower, and now you are about to be transferred to the imperial capital. Not only are you short of manpower, but the danger is also incomparable to when you were in Texas... So, it is reasonable for you to take Lu Yingying in. Not only is she close to Yan Laoxi and the others, but her influence at the grassroots level is also very important and cannot be underestimated. She can be regarded as one of your pillars of support at the grassroots level."

At this point, Zhuo Mali patted Yang Mo lightly in revenge: "Besides, even a blind man can see what that girl means to you, why are you pretending!"

Immediately, his expression straightened up: "But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is..."

"I know that girl is your childhood friend and you have a special relationship. But in the final analysis, women understand women best. Have you heard the famous saying by Eileen Chang? If you don't take her in, and she gets married in the future, what if her man has other ideas? The result may be uncertain."

Zhang Ailing's words about "the gateway to a woman's heart" are very famous, so Yang Mo naturally knew what Zhuo Mali was talking about... and to some extent, Zhang Ailing's words are also a true saying.

From this, it can be seen that Zhuo Mali is really planning for Yang Mo.

In fact, like Miss Mu, as a second-generation woman, she is far less fussy about such matters than ordinary women.

But after Yang Mo heard this, he was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sister Zhuo, you don't understand... In my current situation, it is impossible for me to take this step towards that girl."

There is a white moonlight in every man's heart.

It is obvious that the silly girl with a fierce and fierce heart is the white moonlight in the heart of Yang Mo, the reborn person.

But for Yang Mo, this white moonlight is very different from the white moonlight in the ordinary sense.

As far as he was concerned, even if they were husband and wife, it was just a relationship of a social contract nature. Compared with the friendship between him and his classmate Tugou, in which he could be trusted with everything, it was undoubtedly a blasphemy.

Perhaps no one can understand this feeling, but for Yang Mo, he really thinks so.

Well, if that girl had revealed her feelings to him first, then he would have walked with Lu Yingying despite the feeling of blasphemy... So, Miss Mu's initial premonition was correct. Compared to classmate Tugou, even if she was prettier, she had no advantage over Yang Mo.

Think about it, Yang Mo felt that even becoming husband and wife was a blasphemy to their relationship, let alone the fact that they couldn't even be given a formal status?

Therefore, unless he divorced Miss Mu, he would never be able to get over it in his heart and would push Lu Yingying down.

Yes,

He was not a good person. He could take in Zhuomali, a beautiful girl, out of some potential utilitarian considerations. He could even have sex with any pretty girl who looked good to him when he didn't need to worry about anything.

However, even if Lu Yingying stood naked in front of him, Yang Mo would never touch her until he was able to give her a name.

This is the lethality of Bai Yueguang.

What's more, now that he has accepted Huang Puting's invitation, he will be facing countless shocking waves in the future. It is even more impossible for him to drag this silly girl Lu Yingying into this muddy pond where she is in danger of death without any status or reputation.

In his previous life, this girl had been operating the sewing machine for him for decades and had never come out until her rebirth.

In this life, even if he is no longer a good-for-nothing, he will never let this girl operate a sewing machine again.

and so……

Is this meeting the right person at the wrong time?
If only I had realized that girl's feelings for me earlier.

Yang Mo sighed silently and deeply.

An indescribable regret grew from my chest.

When I turned my head, I vaguely saw something familiar in the gap between the bedside table and the bed.

Subconsciously trying to avoid the previous topic, Yang Mo leaned forward and opened the drawer, then laughed: "Huh? Sister Zhuo, you actually have a copy of "Water Stream Poetry Collection" here too?"

This was a collection of poems that he, Chen Feiyu, Bao Shuxian and three others had put together at random. They only paid for printing a thousand copies.

More than two years have passed, and only a few people have read this collection of poems. Even if we don't consider that someone used this collection to cover up their own crimes, the number of copies of this collection left in the world is pitifully small. Even Yang Mo himself almost forgot that such a thing existed.

Seeing such a clumsy way of changing the subject, Zhuo Mali rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, I wanted to flatter you, the great master, so I went to the bookstore to buy it... but I failed to flatter you, so I can only keep it for myself to read."

Judging from the time, this should have been bought before Zhuo Mali became the general assistant of Texas Urban Real Estate Company.

Glancing at the slightly curled edges of the poetry collection, it was obvious that this peach was not lying. When Zhuo Mali was bored, she did flip through the books to pass the time.

This is strange. How could such a mediocre game catch her eye?

Thinking of this, Yang Mo laughed, threw the poetry collection next to the pillow, then lazily leaned his head on Zhuo Mali's thigh and closed his eyes: "It's still early, find a song you like and read it, I'll go back to sleep."

Zhuomali gave him a look that seemed to be both angry and happy, and let him cheat. She picked up the poetry book, opened it, and read softly:
"Dream,"

"The soul is trapped involuntarily..."
