Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

The two went to the pedestrian street again. Xia Sisi was going to taste the freshly made milk tea. As soon as she arrived at the milk tea shop, she saw Roman sneaking around and pulling Meng Xiaolin to talk and laugh in the corner. This guy moved quite fast. He just followed her over there. The girlfriend was having a breakup, so things started here. Gao Hongda pretended not to see it and personally introduced the drinks in the store to Xia Sisi. The clerk greeted her sister-in-law warmly, which made Xia Sisi a little lost. She casually ordered a cup of milk tea and took Gao Hongda out. The first sentence after that was: "There are so many beauties, you must hold them tight!"

Gao Hongda shaved the bridge of her nose and said with a smile: "It's unfounded! Who is as beautiful as you?" Then he pointed at the entire pedestrian street and said, "This is the world I have conquered for you. These are all mine! That big supermarket is also ours. !”

What was left to Xia Sisi was shock. She couldn't say a word and could only drink milk tea.

Suddenly remembering that there was still business to do today, he quickly called Liu Xin and took his two brothers to find some shovels and follow him to the Chaobai River.

When the car drove to a place where there was no road, Liu Xin couldn't help but report: "The place ahead is where Brother Liang manages the guy who throws cakes in our canteen!"

Looking around, there are only shallow puddles in the wide river, and the rest is all shining silver yellow sand with sparse green grass growing on it.

Abandoning the car and coming to the river beach, he directed the two brothers Liu Xin, Chen Qing and Chen Hong to dig a hole. They dug more than three meters deep, but they still found yellow sand and no soil. Gao Hongda was very satisfied. Judging from this, the reserve of yellow sand The number is really as Han Fei said, it is quite astonishing.

Gao Hongda pointed to a large open space with lush vegetation near the river beach and gave the order: "Go there and explore it!"

The three Liu Xin brothers were very excited to have the opportunity to show off in front of their boss. Regardless of their fatigue, they crawled out of the newly dug hole and ran in the direction directed by Gao Hongda.

After shoveling away the vegetation and soil on the surface, half a meter down, there was the same yellow sand as on the river beach. The three people dug until they were exhausted, but still could not see the soil layer. Liu Xin stood at the bottom of the pit and said: "Boss, I'm exhausted. It's still yellow sand after digging so deep, what do you want to do? Gold mining?"

Gao Hongda waved for them to come up, rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "This is our buddy's gold!"

The three of them climbed out of the sand pit, sat down on the sand, opened the mineral water and drank it all in one breath, breathing heavily.

Liu Xin asked in confusion: "If there is any gold, it would have been dug up by the locals long ago!"

Gao Hongda patted him on the shoulder and said: "This sand will be mine from now on! Do you think this is gold?"

Liu Xin and the other three looked at each other for a few seconds and then fell into ecstasy.

Gao Hongda pretended to be profound and asked: "Liu Xin, how long have you been with me?"

Liu Xin clapped his fingers and said: "I have known you for eighty-three days, I have been with you for less than two months, and I have seen you less than ten times!"

Gao Hongda chuckled: "I'm sorry, no matter how many times we meet between brothers, it doesn't matter. Now, I am very satisfied with your inspection. Now I will give you a big task. You are responsible for turning the yellow sand here into something for me." Money! Just tell me if you have the ability? If not, just change someone else!"

Liu Xin hurriedly stood up and replied: "Don't worry, brother, I've been waiting for your words. It is my greatest honor, Liu Xin, to have the opportunity to repay you!"

Gao Hongda nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since you accept me as your eldest brother, I have to let the brothers follow me to get rich. From now on, your task is to lead the brothers to pull out all the yellow sand here and store it for me to rent. On that wasteland, sell it to me as hard as you can. I’ll give you a commission on the sale price, so don’t eat your salary in the future!”

The Chen brothers shouted excitedly, but Liu Xin asked calmly: "Boss, do you trust your brothers so much?"

Gao Hongda said seriously: "I have no reason not to trust brothers who are willing to take care of things for me! I'm a lazy person. I go to Roland when I need money. I won't listen to reasons and excuses in the future. I just want results. I No matter what method you use, you just need to be able to exchange the sand for money. As for what to do, you have to figure it out yourself. If you can’t do it, I’ll replace you with someone else!”

Liu Xin slammed the shovel in his hand on the ground and said categorically: "Don't worry, boss! Just wait to check the money from now on! I won't cheat you for a penny!"

Gao Hongda patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, come with me this afternoon to meet with the gun master of the big factory! Don't be naughty and act according to my eyes!"

Liu Xin asked: "Do you want me to bring more brothers to follow?"

Gao Hongda shook his head and said, "No, with Lao Luo here, I won't be bullied. Even if something happens, you take Xia Sisi away first. Your mission is to protect her!"

Liu Xin glanced at Xia Sisi and said firmly: "Don't worry, boss, I will use my life to ensure the safety of my sister-in-law!"

Xia Sisi took Gao Hongda's arm and asked, "Are you a gangster? Why do you want to be beaten and killed all day long?"

Gao Hongda kicked Liu Xin and yelled: "You six-leaf kid, you scared my wife! You're just drinking tea with me, and you're talking like you're negotiating with a terrorist!"

After saying that, she pulled Xia Sisi toward the parking lot. Liu Xin and the other three quickly patted their butts and followed behind with shovels in their hands.

Called Luo Jianqiang and asked him to help arrange a meeting with the gunman. Lao Luo quickly responded and decided that the location would be in Dongjiao Town, and Gao Hongda would choose the place.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Hongda closed his eyes and thought. This gunman asked him to pick a place to meet. There are just a few situations. First, this gunman has great self-confidence. This is a warning to Gao Hongda, no matter where you hang out, You don’t have to worry about it at all, it’s a smooth trip everywhere. Second, Pao Ye came here with great sincerity, intending to make friends or help mediate between Gao Hongda and Zhang Silin.

No matter what situation he faces, Gao Hongda does not need to assume the current response posture of the enemy. It is completely unnecessary. If he is too nervous, it will make people look down on him.

If this is the case, then we are completely different.

He opened his eyes suddenly, startling a few people around him, and immediately called Luo Jianqiang back. They made an appointment at Gao Hongda's villa in the palace garden. In the evening, he wanted to treat everyone to hometown-style ground-pot chicken and barbecue.

Luo Jianqiang asked: "Can't we find a hotel? Why is it so troublesome at home?"

Gao Hongda explained: "Since there is no malice in the release, we can't lose our share. It seems more sincere to stay at home. I will do the dinner myself."

Luo Jianqiang didn't ask any more questions. After hanging up the phone, he asked his apprentice Ma Chao to go home and tell his father, the gunman.

Gao Hongda immediately started making arrangements for Liu Xin to go to the furniture store to buy a set of high-end dining tables, tableware and ingredients.

She turned around and said to Xia Sisi: "Little darling, you don't want to attend tonight's dinner. Don't scare you. You go to the Internet cafe for a while. If you're bored, I'll ask Roland to accompany you to the pedestrian street. When I'm done here, I'll pick you up."

Xia Sisi took his arm and shook her head and said, "No, I'll stay here with you and won't go anywhere."

Gao Hongda touched her face tenderly and explained: "I am not fighting with others this time, I am just having a casual meal and chatting. They are all a bunch of rough men. What they said is too mean. If you are Next, do you know how uncomfortable it feels when we want to say something but can’t? Now do you know why women in the north don’t serve the table when eating? This is not disrespectful to women, it is inconvenient! What if? Someone makes a joke about you, but I really can’t stand it, doesn’t that create conflict?”

Xia Sisi said a little impatiently: "Okay, okay! I won't delay your business, okay? But I can't listen to you. I want to find Liu Meng at night, not Roland!"

Gao Hongda touched his head and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Xia Sisi didn't answer him, but said mischievously: "Guess it yourself! You gangster!"

How can you guess what this woman is thinking? You can't figure it out even if you keep guessing!

Liu Xin's ability to run errands is indeed very good, and his efficiency is not ordinary. At three o'clock in the afternoon, he dragged back a large nanmu dining table, equipped with about a dozen chairs, and all kinds of dinner plates and wine glasses. In case someone pretends to like drinking red wine, I bought a dozen goblets and put up a wall of iron pots and a barbecue grill in the yard.

He said that he had to cook the food himself, but that was a lie. Except for the ground pot chicken, which he cooked himself, all the other hot and cold dishes had already been ordered from nearby restaurants to be delivered at the right time.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I guessed that the guests were about to arrive, so I was about to put the chicken pieces that had been marinated for half an afternoon on the pot to stew. There was a movement at the door, and someone came in. To Gao Hongda's surprise, the person who came was Yan. Gao Liang was in a hurry, obviously he arrived in a hurry. At this time, he should still be busy in his hometown of Xuzhou.

Yan Gaoliang stopped Gao Hongda loudly: "You didn't do this for the ground-pot chicken. You have to stir-fry it first!"

Gao Hongda threw away the things in his hands and said angrily: "You can do it! Liu Xin, come here!"

Liu Xin slowly came over, Gao Hongda stared at him and asked him: "Is it you who informed Brother Liang?"

Liu Xin hesitated: "Boss, me, what..."

Yan Gaoliang started cooking and said without looking back: "Don't blame him. I arranged for him before. If anything happens, let me know as soon as possible. Fortunately, he rushed quickly and the plane was not delayed. Finally arrived. You are now a piece of Tang Monk meat, and all kinds of monsters and monsters want to take a bite."

Gao Hongda laughed loudly: "You mean you are the Monkey King?"

Yan Gaoliang turned around and said, "I am a Bodhisattva! Fortunately, I came in time!"

Gao Hongda asked with a look of horror: "No way? It's not so serious, right?!"

Yan Gaoliang snorted coldly: "If I were just one minute late, you would have ruined this ground-pot chicken!"

"Damn it! When did you catch the problem of breathing heavily? This disease needs to be cured!" Gao Hongda felt relieved and couldn't help but joke. What happened during this period made him tremble with fear, and he was still scared. This fragile little heart could no longer resist any fright at the slightest sign of trouble.

The sound of a car horn came from outside the door again, and then Ma Chao poked his head in, holding a box of liquor in both hands. He saw Gao Hongda hiding next to the pot and lighting a fire. After making sure that he had gone to the wrong door, he immediately called out "Uncle Master", and then Several people came in, all old acquaintances, Luo Jianqiang and An Yunlai, the mayor, followed by Zhang Silin. The last person walking at the end was a calm and relaxed middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a tall body and gray hair. He had his hands behind his back. , full of aura, he should be the Gun Master everyone calls him. Unlike Gao Hongda's imagination, he is not a fat man with a big belly, but is very energetic and capable, without much fat on his body.

Gao Hongda greeted one by one, and when it was the turn of the last gunman, Ma Chao took the initiative to introduce him: "Uncle Gao, this is my dad." Gao Hongda nodded and said, "Welcome Secretary Ma!"

Secretary Ma waved his hand and said: Don't be so polite. You can come to your house for dinner today, but there is no secretary or mayor today. From Lao Luo's side, we are all buddies. Don't be too polite!

Of course Gao Hongda was not polite and changed his words: "Then I'll call you Brother Ma!" Then he directed Ma Chao unceremoniously, "Go and light the fire!"

Ma Chao didn't hesitate and went straight to the pot. Gao Hongda picked up the iron spoon and hit him. After Yan Gaoliang saw this, he twisted his foot on the ground, and a piece of firewood fell on his foot. He kicked it to Ma Chao. After all, he had practiced martial arts with Luo Jianqiang for many years, and his reaction was very fast. After taking the piece of firewood, he heard Gao Hongda's voice behind him. Roar: "Watch the move!"

Ma Chao immediately rolled on the ground to avoid Gao Hongda's swinging spoon. As soon as he stood up, Gao Hongda's kick came straight to his chest. The young man blocked the firewood in his chest and dodged the blow again, but failed. Being shaken by the strong force, another one fell to the ground. He stood up with a carp blow, raised the wood-chopping stick and started to fight back. Gao Hongda easily pulled him away with a spoon. He failed to attack several times in a row, and was slapped with a few spoons on his body. , Obviously, Gao Hongda restrained his strength, otherwise, he would not be able to stand up long ago. In the end, the spoon hit his wrist and the wood fell to the ground. Ma Chao was embarrassed in front of his father.

During this process, Zhang Silin wanted to step forward to help Ma Chao, but Secretary Ma held down his shoulders. Secretary Ma smiled and watched his son being dealt with, unable to fight back, and clapped his hands when it was over.

Gao Hongda patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "I've made a lot of progress. It seems I haven't been lazy in training in the past two months!"

Ma Chao cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, uncle, for your advice."

Gao Hongda nodded and said: "Okay, let's light the fire!" As if he was a master, he was so good at pretending.

Ma Chao didn't say anything and just squatted down to light the fire.

Zhang Silin was still looking at Secretary Ma in confusion, but Secretary Ma said happily: "Brother Xiao Gao is very skilled. Please give me some pointers when you have time. This little guy admires you very much lately and keeps talking about it in front of me."

Luo Jianqiang sighed and said: "It is the teacher's fault if the teaching is not strict. I was too soft-hearted before. Now the apprentice is beaten, the master is embarrassed!"

Zhang Silin interjected: "Master Luo, please don't be humble. When you were in Xuzhou, you fought one against five and were unscathed. I was also watching at the scene!"

Luo Jianqiang shook his head modestly and said: "It's not worth mentioning a few outsiders."

Gao Hongda stared at Zhang Silin and said in surprise: "Boss Zhang also went to help brothers? It was too chaotic at the time and I didn't pay attention to you. Thank you so much! I even boasted about your beard and glared at you before." He stretched out his hands. He grabbed Zhang Silin's hand and shook it. Putting aside his previous conflicts, Gao Hongda is always grateful to those who have helped him.

Zhang Silin was overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm and could only say with a smile: "The camel is ridden like a horse, and every yard is a yard. We are all children of the world. You're welcome!"

Mayor An Yunlai, who came with him, coughed and said: "You can pull me down. I am a man who is always in the world. Where are the world? Making money honestly is the way to go!"

Secretary Ma objected: "You can't say that, rivers and lakes are everywhere, and wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!"
