Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Zhao Gang dragged his tired body into the house and saw his son Zhao Lichun sitting on the sofa in the living room. His face suddenly darkened.

"Why are you still in Yanjing? Don't forget that you are already the head of a county, responsible for the livelihoods of millions of people..."

Zhao Lichun was frightened and walked over quickly, taking the briefcase from Zhao Gang's hand attentively.

As he took the briefcase, he smiled and said, "Dad, you misunderstood. I am trying to attract investment for the county. This is also for official business!"

Zhao Gang sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest for a moment, while Zhao Lichun stood there not daring to breathe.

"Did you go to Chang Zhengyang?"

Zhao Lichun was shocked when he heard this, and dared not hide it: "You are really smart, I did go to find Uncle Chang."

Zhao Gang opened his eyes and looked at him, sneering, "It seems that even you guys know about the 20 million. Tell me, what investment did you get?"

Zhao Gang was very sure that Chang Zhengyang would agree to his son's investment for his sake, so he asked this question.

Zhao Lichun quickly sat down aside and began to introduce the investment project that Chang Zhengyang had promised to give him.

"Uncle Chang's intention is to invest in building a large film and television city by the Taihu Lake. This film and television city is divided into four major sections, namely the Journey to the West section, Water Margin City, Three Kingdoms City and Dream of the Red Chamber section. Taking Dream of the Red Chamber as an example, he means to build a Rongguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, etc., and open a one-stop shopping street for food, drink and entertainment in this film and television city, as well as various cultural activities..."

Zhao Gang could see that Zhao Lichun had obviously memorized Chang Zhengyang's words mechanically and did not actually understand the mystery behind them.

Sure enough, after Zhao Lichun repeated the entire plan of the film and television city, he showed a look of doubt.

"Dad, I think this film and television city is too busy. How should I put it? We just had a meal. Who has the time to spare..."

"Stupid, I asked you to read more books, but you were not happy. Humph, now that we have basic self-defense capabilities in national defense, we must vigorously develop the economy. This is the heartfelt appeal of all the people. Looking back at the dynasties, once the Central Plains is no longer threatened by foreign enemies, society will enter a period of rapid development. The people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and then they want to wear good clothes, and then they will pursue the quality of life. Your uncle Chang once told me about an economic theory called the merry-go-round theory. This theory is that after a region enters peace from war, there will be five stages of development, from solving the problem of food and clothing to eating well and wearing good clothes, which involves the catering and clothing industries, and then the pursuit of quality life. The first to develop is the home appliance industry, then the automobile industry, and finally the real estate industry. These five industries have a cycle every ten years. We are currently in a period of vigorously developing the catering and textile industries. When the film and television city you mentioned is built, it will be just when the people have enough food and clothing and begin to pursue quality life. At that time, the tourism industry will also begin to develop."

"Ah? Isn't Uncle Chang a biologist? Does he also understand economics?"

Zhao Lichun's tone was full of doubt, and it was obvious that he didn't quite believe what Zhao Gang said.

Zhao Gang took a deep breath, pointed at Zhao Lichun and scolded: "It seems that you still need to go to school. Nowadays, the economy is in command, and it is not acceptable for leaders to not understand the economy."

Zhao Lichun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately became a little reluctant. He was now a county magistrate in the local area, and he was also a person who was surrounded by people. So he really didn't want to go back to the classroom for further studies...

"Dad, I just became the county magistrate, please let me..."

Zhao Gang thought about it and realized that he was asking too much of Zhao Lichun, so he slowed down his tone and said, "I'll give you a few books later. Take them back and read them. One of them is about the thirty years of development of Japan after the war. After reading it, you'll know whether my merry-go-round theory is right or not. Okay, go to bed early. Now that you've got the investment, go back to Jiangnan tomorrow and stop scheming in Yanjing all day. Also, don't use my name when you go back. If I hear about it, hum..."

Zhao Lichun was startled, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, I will keep a low profile."

Zhao Gang said noncommittally: "That's better. OK, I'm going to rest now."

Zhao Lichun immediately stood up and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Dad, there is something I want to ask you. I remember when I was a child, my mother said that Uncle Chang was the God of Wealth. How could he, a researcher, be called the God of Wealth?"

Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, stared at Zhao Lichun and asked, "Why, do you still want to continue to attract investment?"

Zhao Lichun chuckled, but didn't respond directly. He just laughed softly and said, "I'm just worried that the film and television city Uncle Chang mentioned is too big. It will cost 150 million yuan at once. If the money is not enough..."

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment and said, "You can think this way, but you haven't been carried away. Well, since your parents are taking care of you now, there are some things you should know."

Zhao Lichun was refreshed upon hearing this, and quickly sat back, looking at Zhao Gang with sharp eyes. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "First of all, you need to understand one thing. Your uncle Chang is in the field of biology and medicine..."

Zhao Gang gave a thumbs up and continued, "All the daily necessities sold in stores, more than half of the commonly used medicines in hospitals, and all the special medicines were developed under his leadership..."

"so smart?"

Zhao Lichun was shocked. Zhao Gang glanced at him and snorted, "You think that's all? He also led the research and development of the Tamron computers you use in your office. All of these are advanced products even if they are placed overseas. I tell you, the profit that Changsheng Group handed over to the country last year was 1 billion US dollars. As for other things, well, you don't need to know for the time being. Anyway, your mother said he was the God of Wealth, and it was not a compliment to him. He really is the God of Wealth."

Zhao Lichun was really dumbfounded. He was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself, "I thought he dared to boast and take out 150 million to build a film and television city. Hey, Dad, you should rest early. I'm leaving first!"

boom!

Zhao Gang looked at the closed door, shook his head and sighed. There was nothing he could do. For the sake of his son's career, he didn't care about that meeting.

Just like what Lao Li said: Damn it, no matter whose meat it is, I'm going to eat it first.

When Lao Li was mentioned, Zhao Gang couldn't help but pick up the phone and called out, "Lao Li, how long are you going to stay in your hometown? I have a few bottles of good wine here. Hurry up and bring some seafood when you come over."
