Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 327 Country

In the early days of Hong Kong in the 1970s, low-cost OEM products were upgraded to high-profit electronic products.

Hong Kong movies in the 1970s also ushered in a new era. Films made before the 1970s contained more costume dramas, and most of them were adaptations of texts, with few purely creative works.

But after the 1970s, martial arts and action movies began to rise. In 1970, “Dragon and Tiger Fight” became the first movie to break 2 million at the box office. In 1971, a kung fu superstar appeared, and “Tangshan Brother” broke 3 million at the box office. It was played by Bruce Lee, but he was not yet a superstar at this time.

In 1972, “Fist of Fury” broke the box office record, reaching 4.4 million, and the starring role was still Bruce Lee.

In 1973, “72 Tenants” set a new box office record of 5.6 million. In 1974, the box office of “Ghost Horses and Two Stars” was over 6 million.

Hong Kong’s movie box office went from a high of two million in the early 1970s to more than six million in 1974, tripling in just a few years. This also means that the film industry in Xiangjiang is on the rise. Regardless of the quality of the film or the box office, as long as the audience likes to watch movies, Luo Cheng will make money at the cinema in Xiangjiang. Not only in Xiangjiang, there are cinemas in Luo Cheng in Singapore and Taiwan. .

In Taiwan, people there may not be very friendly to people from China, but they still treat people from Hong Kong equally. People from Xiangjiang will not be treated differently when doing business in Taiwan, and the same applies to people from Taiwan when they come to Xiangjiang.

And now Inspector Lu and some people have gone to Taiwan because of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Some gangs in Taiwan and Xiangjiang are somewhat related. It’s not easy for Luo Cheng to open a movie theater in Taiwan.

When it comes to movies, I have to talk about Golden Harvest Movies. It was established in 1970. As a film maker, the first thing to do is to distribute it. If this is released, apart from the theaters owned by Shaw Brothers, the largest theater will be Luo Cheng’s. When people contacted him, Luo Cheng was bored and directly invested a sum of money to occupy part of Jiahe’s shares. There will be preferential treatment in terms of distribution in the future.

The early development of Jiahe has a lot to do with signing Bruce Lee, since Luo Cheng is a shareholder of Jiahe. Needless to say, taking photos and so on, Sissi even had a few moves with him. The pampered Sissi couldn’t be compared to when she first met Luo Cheng. Although she also practiced martial arts, she was not pursuing martial arts. An ordinary person, Sissi, can beat her. Even if Lianjiazi is not very powerful, he can beat her back and forth, but some people with strong strength and quick reactions cannot be beat by Sissi.

But even after giving birth to a baby and practicing less than before, she still looks like a noble lady. It is easy to deal with Luo Cheng.

On July 28, 1976, a major earthquake occurred in Tangshan, China. The Hong Kong compatriots do not wish to see the kindness of the domestic Dongjiang water being introduced into Hong Kong. Many patriotic compatriots are working hard to donate, which is considered as a kind gesture.

By this year, Xiangjiang had begun to show star effect. With celebrities taking the lead, Luo Cheng also donated a lot in secret. Especially excavators, Luo Cheng, who has heavy-duty forklift technology, has already produced excavators over the years. In many coal mines in South Africa, high-end excavators produced in Singapore can now be seen everywhere.

As soon as the earthquake occurred and the day Xiangjiang received the news, Luo Cheng asked Gao Ru to quickly dispatch more than 20 excavators. Forklifts and forklifts are also available, and several large cargo ships are shipped directly to the domestic Shenzhen port.

There is also a disadvantage in donating. Comrades at home also care about their compatriots and must carefully register donations from overseas compatriots. In fact, Luo Cheng and Xixi have not been very public in these years. The investments are made by people below, and many of them hold a certain proportion of shares. They have not become major shareholders. Even if they have large shares in some industries, they do not interfere with other people’s operations.

To be honest, Luo Cheng and Xixi had become ‘invisible’ a long time ago. In the era before the Internet, just like the 1980s in China, some people made money in business, that is, people in the local circle knew about it. In the era before the Internet, how many people in China knew about the richest man Li.

Even many Hong Kong stars were introduced to China after the 1980s, when the country started to chase stars. The lyrics of every song tape have to be copied with a pen. There is not enough money to buy tapes, and they are not available in some places.

Dozens of engineering vehicles have been donated at once, and there must always be a rough donor. This thing is more important than the money and living materials donated by others.

It’s not that money and materials are unimportant, but for the Tangshan earthquake, Luo Cheng’s donation is more important. For rescue, such vehicles are needed. Time is of the essence. In order not to waste time, the soldiers who rushed to the scene of the earthquake at the first time used pure manual means such as hammers, wooden sticks and shovels to rescue first.

And having a rescue vehicle can play a big role at critical moments. And even in post-disaster reconstruction, these dozens of vehicles can still play a huge role.

Regarding the donation, Luo Cheng didn’t want to hide it. The era of educated youth in China was actually coming to an end. Luo Cheng has always arranged for people to inquire about domestic news, but the end of the rural areas era does not mean that reform and opening up will begin. It will have to wait for at least one or two years.

The donor, Luo Chengcheng, did not use his personal name, but the Roche Group. As for domestic people who want to know who is behind the Roche Group, let them investigate slowly. When they are found out, maybe it will be opened up.

In the blink of an eye, another two years passed, at the end of 1978.

Luo Cheng, thirty-eight, date of birth (he’s not even born yet). Sissi is thirty-seven years old, and her charm is still there.

At night, the Hong Kong wind in Hong Kong was a bit cool, and Sissi was wearing hollow pajamas. After so many years, Luo Cheng still maintained a dishonest attitude while lying next to her. It stands to reason that people of this age, and the relationship between husband and wife has lasted for so many years, they should get tired of it long ago. But not Luo Cheng. Maybe some people won’t get tired of it in certain aspects.

“What are you doing, Lao Luo? You’ve been doing this for so many years and you’re still playing this trick.”

Originally, the two of them were lying face to face, with Luo Cheng lying slightly below Sissi, but suddenly Luo Cheng hugged Sissi’s head and tried to push her waist down.

Lao Luo, this title, now Luo Cheng is Mr. Luo outside, and Lao Luo inside. Not only Sissi shouted like this, but his children, big and small, also shouted like this. In Xiangjiang, the children of the upper class should call their parents daddy and mommy, but Sissi misled them.

“Sissi, you just listen to me for a while today. During the Chinese New Year this year, I will take you, Xianxian and the others back to your hometown.”

“Go back to your hometown? You~~you mean? Domestic?”

Sissi, who originally wasn’t too interested in Saul Cheng, just struggled a little, but after hearing Luo Cheng’s words, she stopped moving and wanted to confirm what Luo Cheng’s words meant by ‘hometown’.

“Yes, domestic reform and opening up means domestic reform and opening up to the outside world. However, this has only just been implemented, and many places may wait and see. But when we return to China, we are not going back to do business. There is no problem if we go back to visit.”

“Really, that’s great. Let’s prepare tomorrow when we can leave.”

“There is no hurry. You tell Xianxian and the others tomorrow that you will go back to China to visit your grandparents. Prepare the gifts and I will directly arrange for the cruise ship to dock there. The cruise ship will directly bring a few cars to China, which will make traveling within the country convenient. I’m no longer the secretary of the industrial zone or anything like that, and I won’t be able to get a car when I go back.”

“Okay, you gave me this news. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night.”

“Here~~, Sissi, let’s just play for a while.”

Women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. Sissi was at the age where she was like a wolf and a tiger, so Luo Chengqian should not tell her this when she went to bed at night.

Three days later, Luo Cheng set off with his family, two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter, Luo Siyun, and the second son, Luo Tianjun, are not really shameless and call them Luo Yingjun. Luo Siyan, the youngest daughter of the third child, wants to be like Yanzi and return to her hometown every spring.

The eldest daughter is only ten years old now, so her actual age is counted as eleven. The son is eight years old and the youngest daughter is six years old. When I really can’t get pregnant, I can’t get pregnant for five or six years. After having my first child, I really only have one every other year. Besides, excluding the time of pregnancy and lactation, I don’t want the child to be weaned too early, so I have to eat it no matter what. More than half a year.

To be honest, I didn’t deliberately control it later, and I could get pregnant in just a few months. After giving birth to three children, Sissi wanted to have another son. One son would not be enough to expand the family fortune. Luo Cheng really has good control over women’s sex. Apart from playing with women at home, he has never touched other women. Unlike some rich people in Xiangjiang, illegitimate children are very common.

Luo Cheng meant that daughters would also share in the family property. Of course, there would definitely be more sons, and some of the main business and family property would be given to the sons. As long as they are filial, so are the two daughters.

The domestic Chinese New Year is the Lunar New Year, usually between January and February of the solar calendar. So when I went back at the end of 1978, there was still more than one and a half months before the Chinese New Year.

This time back, Luo Cheng and Qian Qian discussed going back to Qian Qian’s house first, because it was closer to SH City from Shen City, and several people who were arranged by Qian Qian’s father to protect Luo Cheng also lived with Luo Cheng in Xiangjiang. , this time when they come back, they can also exchange cars with drivers. When they arrive in SH City, they will also be given a few months’ leave.

It has been more than ten years since I returned to China, and it seems that nothing much has changed. Things change every year in Xiangjiang. The salary of an ordinary person is 1,500 yuan, and the salary of a team leader or something is more than 2,000 yuan. It is normal for middle managers to have four to five thousand people.

Today’s Xiangjiang is a little different from the past, and wages are highly differentiated. Especially at the bottom level, the income is very different from that of the middle and upper levels. In this day and age, people in Xiangjiang are a bit repulsive to people from China, even those who came from China five or ten years ago.

Because they believe that the wages of workers at the bottom cannot rise because people from China have been illegally entering here. They don’t dare to ask for high wages when they come here, and they just work when there is work. As a result, wages have been unable to rise, but once promoted to a small administrator, the salary can increase significantly. The salary of the middle and high-level people can be six to seven times that of the bottom level.

So people in Xiangjiang don’t hate people from China, but they hate people from China who come here now. They are not as polite as before when they call people from China. The accents of Chinese people who just came here must be very different, and people will be surprised when they hear it. Will shout “Mainland Seed” unkindly.

In one of Chow Yun-fat’s movies, he played such a character, an image of someone who came to China illegally to work hard. I also suffered unfriendly discrimination from the people in Hong Kong.

In China, there really hasn’t been much change. Thirteen years have passed since Luo Cheng left the country, and workers’ wages have not changed a penny. Of course, prices have remained unchanged. People earn more money in Xiangjiang, and prices have also risen accordingly. Houses have become very popular.

Sissi’s parents have already retired, not to mention her grandfather. If he was not a scientific researcher and did not retire according to the prescribed age, he would have retired at that time when he was almost sixty.

Now Dai Tiande is considered to have lived a long life. Ordinary people cannot compare with him. For people like him, doctors check his health regularly. Pay attention to taking good care of yourself. In this era, ordinary people may not live long. After retirement, these leading cadres can still live many years longer than ordinary people.

Dai Tiande’s body is definitely not as strong as before, but it’s okay to plant flowers and plants in the courtyard and simply plant them.

Sissi’s brother is now also a senior general in the army. However, there have been no wars in the country in recent years. Without the care of his parents, it would be difficult for him to rise to the rank of general in peacetime.

Arriving at the compound area on the outskirts of SH City, Sissi even put on the clothes she wore when she was in the art troupe. It has been more than ten years since I went to Xiangjiang. I kept it as a souvenir and even had my clothes specially embalmed. Otherwise, the clothes that are more than ten years old, and the quality is not very good, will be gone long ago.

Originally, Sissi wanted to sneak into the compound to surprise her parents, but she didn’t call her family when she came back. But I forgot that this is a military compound, and the people who guarded the compound have long since changed.

Fortunately, even though Sissi is close to forty, according to people of this era, some people in rural areas really become grandmothers, and it is normal to be called aunt. But Qian Qian was pampered in Xiangjiang, and with the military uniform of the art troupe, her heroic demeanor was still as good as before.

People who live in the compound rarely move out unless there are special circumstances. Someone soon recognized Sissi, but some couldn’t believe it. Although her skin was not as delicate as before, her appearance didn’t change much. People who didn’t know her would never think that she was over thirty.

But she didn’t change much. Sissi hadn’t explained whose family she was from, so she thought she couldn’t have a sudden surprise with her parents. But she met an acquaintance in the yard, but they recognized Sissi, so Sissi had to deal with it after being reminded by others. The other person was only in his thirties back then, but now he is close to fifty. His hair and image have changed so much that it’s no wonder that Sissi didn’t recognize him for a while.

In this way, Xixi and Luo Cheng’s family just made a registration and were admitted with the guarantee of someone they knew. As the guard here, I also remember the appearance of Sissi and Luo Cheng as a family. If he comes again in the future, if he is still on duty, such immediate family members do not need to come and register again and again.

In December in China, the weather was already cold. Sissi’s parents were not outside the yard, but the door into the room was ajar, indicating that they were at home.

Sissi asked Luo Cheng and the child to stay outside the yard, so she changed her clothes, but no one else did. Outside the yard, Sissi cleared her throat for a while, and when she spoke again, her voice became younger.

She walked in the courtyard without entering the room. Instead, she sang the songs she learned in the art troupe here when she was not married. At that time, when she was working in the art troupe here, she would practice in the yard when she went home during holidays.

“Old man, did you hear the sound? I seem to hear Sissi singing.”

“Are you confused? You still miss your daughter too much. She is still in Xiangjiang and can’t come back. How can you hear her singing?”

“Stop talking and listen carefully, Sissi is singing.”

“You~~, here!”

Sissi’s parents were cooking in the kitchen, a little far away from the yard, one behind the other. But this time when Sissi’s mother said it, it really seemed like it was.

Dai Tiande, who was in the study upstairs, also heard the sound, but he was alone upstairs and had no one to confirm it, so he really thought he heard it wrong. The little girl liked him the most back then, but she was also the one he introduced to her as his protégé. Unfortunately, she ignored the national conditions and went to Hong Kong to do business and became a gambler.

But when I heard Sissi’s voice, even if I was hallucinating, I still had to go downstairs and have a look.

And when he was going downstairs, he saw his son and daughter-in-law walking from the kitchen to the yard. This~~could it be that the little girl Sissi is coming back to pull her?

When Sissi saw her family coming out in the yard, she didn’t immediately go forward to have a crying gathering. Instead, she started playing martial arts in the yard, which was what her father taught her when she was a child.

According to her age, Sissi is already thirty-eight. But the scene in front of her, even her parents and grandfather saw Sissi, but they couldn’t believe it was real. If you don’t look closely at her dress and appearance, you would still think she looks like the girl she once was. Of course, no matter how well you take care of your skin, there will still be some wrinkles when you talk or smile.
