58: Peace is Precious
At night, Magpie Bridge Fishing Port.
"The summer of 1983 was from here, where I went out of the sea with you Uncle Hua."
"At that time, we were alone holding a tire and swimming to Hong Kong Island."
"I kept thinking halfway through the way that I would never go back if I didn't do anything."
"With this breath, I fought hard with your Uncle Hua, first escorted the ship to smuggle cigarettes, and then smuggled electrical appliances with others."
"I suffered a lot during those days, but I never thought of giving up. I knew very well that it was not me who suffered alone. I still had countless fellow villagers in Tazhai. I not only struggled for myself, but also made a way for my compatriots who stayed in the village."
"Fortunately, I succeeded. Every household in Tazhai now has a car and a house. No matter how poor a family is, their savings will not be less than one million."
"In recent years, there have been many people working as bachelors everywhere. In our Tazhai, there is not a single person working as bachelor."
"Why, we are rich here, and those who have married have a good life, they envy us."
On Queqiao Harbor, a table is placed on the pier.
Lin Yaodong sat in the middle, with Lin Yaohua and Lin Zonghui on both sides.
Opposite, Lin Can, Lin Shengwu and Lin Yao listened quietly, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the sea surface.
"Ayao, Acan, Shengwu, what do you think of this election?"
Lin Yaodong changed his voice and looked at the three of them.
"Uncle Dong, I am determined to win. In recent years, I have made a lot of efforts for my family and solved a lot of trouble. If you want to choose someone from the younger generation, it should be my fault." Lin Can spoke first.
"Damn, do you want to be so angry? Didn't you just do some dirty work for the company? None of us has done it? Is this credit? This is what we should do. Acan, you are so angry that people who don't know think you killed Captain America."
Lin Shengwu had a sneer on his face, giving Lin Can no face at all.
Lin Can was angry and asked, "I said I was very angry, what have you done for my family?"
"Don't say that your bad car city has made money for your family, more than one person below reacted to me. Your friends will borrow a car every few days, and they don't even care about adding fuel when driving the car."
"People who don't know think you are selling used cars!"
"If Uncle Hui hadn't supported you, I would have asked you to come back and pick up the feces, would you still brag to me?"
"What did you say?"
"Enough!"
Seeing that the two were about to make a fuss, Lin Yaodong slapped the table hard: "What do you want to do?"
Seeing that Uncle Dong was angry, Lin Can and Lin Shengwu sat down and looked at each other with dissatisfaction.
There are many conflicts between the second and third rooms. As the main force of the new generation, Lin Shengwu and Lin Can have a very stiff relationship.
Especially the matter of running for the village committee is related to the interests and power of each house, so the two of them are not nervous.
"It is not easy for Tazhai to be today. It is not just me who can get to this point, but it contains the hard work of countless old and young clans."
"I hope that the matter of running for the village committee will not affect internal harmony, and I don't want you to be in trouble because of this."
"Ayao came to me this morning. He also wanted to run for the election, but Zong Hui did not support it, so he wanted me to support him."
"I'm very pleased because over the years, I've heard too many words about how big a house is, how second a house is, and how third a house is."
"Some people, they have forgotten that Tazhai is a whole, we are all a family."
"Actually, I've wanted to get together with everyone for a long time, and I feel unhappy if I don't say something."
"I will act arbitrarily in this election. We will not vote anymore, and voting cannot guarantee absolute fairness."
Hearing this, Lin Yaohua's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "Brother, voting for the village committee has been the rule over the years. How can I explain to the people below to change it rashly?"
Before Lin Yaodong could speak, Lin Zonghui spoke: "Yaohua, if you have something to do, don't rush to express your opinion. Brother has his own arrangements."
This time, the village committee’s large house was not involved. The village committee’s location was competed by Lin Yaohua’s second house and Lin Zonghui’s third house.
There are more people in the second house than the third house. If one person and one vote, the second house will win in the last election.
Therefore, Lin Yaohua is the person who least wants to change, while Lin Zonghui is the opposite. If he chooses normally, he is not sure. If he changes the rules to compete with the village committee, perhaps Lin Shengwu's chances of winning will be greater.
"Yaohua, Zonghui, don't worry, listen to me finish my words."
Lin Yaodong knocked on the table and signaled that the two of them should not be impatient.
Lin Yaohua sighed reluctantly and sat in his seat and stopped talking.
"Our Tazhai business has always focused on the European market, and it has almost fallen into a bottleneck today."
"In order to break the deadlock and achieve a second take-off, I intend to expand my business to Asia and get a share of the Asian market."
"I plan to choose three places as pilot projects first. If there is little resistance, I will conquer the entire Asian market. These three pilot projects are Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, and the Casino."
"We won't choose the village committee this time, and we will speak with our actions. The three of you will draw lots to decide where to go. Whoever settles the local trade contract first will be the next village committee. Do you think there is any problem?"
Lin Yao's eyes lit up.
His power is the weakest of the three. If the election is decided by the score rather than the vote, he may get a share of it.
It seems that the matter of asking Uncle Dong for help was done right. Although he did not receive direct support from Uncle Dong, he also gave him a chance.
Lin Yao is not afraid of competition, but is afraid that he won’t even give him opportunities.
"Uncle Dong, I'm fine." Lin Yao spoke directly.
"I'm fine, either." Lin Shengwu was not confident of defeating Lin Can by election, so he naturally would not refuse this method.
"I"
Lin Can was a little unwilling to accept it. He made such a big mistake in the election, and all the ducks he got flew away. How could he be willing to do so?
But facing Lin Yao and Lin Shengwu, he could not show weakness directly, so he could only grit his teeth and said, "I'm fine, either."
After nodding and agreeing, Lin Can himself thought: "I am in charge of the village's pistol team, with strong soldiers and strong horses. The chances of victory are still higher than Lin Shengwu and Lin Yao. In addition, my father gave me advice and Uncle Dong served as a backer for me. I have no reason to be afraid of them."
"Okay, it's better for you to have confidence."
Lin Yaodong was ready, so he took out three wax balls from his pocket and said, "There is a note in each of these three wax balls, which contains the name of the city you need to operate, and the secret tricks I left behind in various places. The names and phone numbers on them are people who can help you, you can choose them yourself."
Gurulu
Three wax balls slid off Uncle Dong's hand and rolled towards the center of the table.
Lin Yao and the other two looked at each other and snatched them without saying a word.
"Hong Kong Island!!"
Lin Yao opened the wax ball and saw his mission goal.
Then, I looked at it in reverse and saw a phone number and a name behind it: "Jimmy, and Liansheng"
