Section two hundred and eighty eighth
In fact, this is also a little trick played by Xue Qian - there is surveillance in the private room of the restaurant, and this scene will be recorded. If there is a dispute between the two parties in the future, the video recording will be the perfect evidence.
Hu Chongxian's attitude was still arrogant, but Li Guobin kept talking in the middle, and finally made this happen.
People who are generals are indeed extraordinary. Hu Chongxian seems to have no interest in the two hundred thousand. In his words: a "Wuzhi Shi" costs tens of millions, and a "99a" main battle tank The starting price is tens of millions of dollars. The Zhaocheng Military Region has infantry fighting vehicles and a variety of weapons and equipment. If you take out any heavy artillery, its cost will be at least "one million yuan."
A mere 200,000 yuan is not taken seriously by me at all.
If I didn't think you are a nice person, Xiao Xue, I wouldn't care about this matter.
Does it matter to me whether your son will become a useful person or a waste?
After three glasses of wine, Hu Chongxian's temper got worse, he spoke unscrupulously and his tone became stronger.
However, what he said made sense, and Xue Qian was greatly impressed after hearing it. He felt that it was his own problem... he was too small-minded and did not trust others. He might even have angered the great Buddha Hu Chongxian.
Li Guobin was standing by to help ease the atmosphere, but the words that came out of his mouth made Xue Qian's scalp feel numb.
"Old Xue! I'm not telling you, Brother Tiger is a sweet-tempered man. He has such a high position, and he still treats you as a friend... Let me tell you something! There used to be a bathing center, and an old man took a bath there. After taking a shower, he sat on a recliner to rest and ordered a cup of tea. When he took the tea from the waiter, he accidentally dropped the cup and broke it. The old man was very reasonable and said he should pay as much as he wanted. Anyway, it was just one It’s just a glass. But the manager on duty that day happened to be the brother-in-law of the owner of the bathing center. That man was used to being domineering, so he asked the old man to pay fifty yuan."
"The old man definitely doesn't want to! It's just a cup, but it's not worth so much. The manager on duty acted rogue and said that since he didn't want to pay fifty yuan, he should pay more, and it would cost one hundred yuan."
Xue Qian said: "Isn't this why you are raising the price just for the sake of it?"
Li Guobin smiled and said: "Yeah! Later, the old man said that he didn't have any money and wanted to make a phone call. At that time, mobile phones were not as popular as they are now, so the manager on duty asked him to use a landline to make a call. Guess what, the old man called with just one phone call A truckload of soldiers came and destroyed the bathing center directly."
Xue Qian was stunned when he heard this: "Who is that old man?"
"A general from the local military division." Li Guobin raised his finger and pointed at Hu Chongxian: "Like Brother Hu, he is also a major general."
There are many similar jokes on the Internet.
In the past, there were also popular stories, but they were limited to legends.
Xue Qian completely believed it.
The next day, when Hu Chongxian left the hotel, there was another person beside him——Xue Qian's son.
A week later, my son came back.
He has changed.
He was wearing a brand new officer uniform, with a second lieutenant title badge on his shoulder. When he opened his carry-on bag, there were two sets of brand new military green shirts inside.
My son talks a lot, and it is obvious that he likes the military very much.
"We went directly to the special service training center. The 1st Commander of the Tiger Division said that all the guards came from there. They had to pass various examinations and the elimination rate was very high."
Xue Qian was relieved when he heard this. He subconsciously asked: "Where is the training place you mentioned?"
The son was a little confused: "...This, there are confidentiality regulations, so we are not allowed to talk about it!"
Xue Qian was even more relieved, this was the formal and safe approach.
He asked his son: "What have you done in the army during this time?"
"Endorsement." The son replied honestly: "Import all kinds of rules and regulations."
He stretched out his fingers and pinched a piece about an inch thick in the air: "For such a big book, you have to memorize it all and be familiar with it."
Xue Qian was shocked: "So many?"
"Yes!" The son sighed with a sad face: "It feels like there are more Chinese textbooks than all my Chinese textbooks in the three years of high school combined."
Xue Qian was completely relieved. He patted his son on the shoulder and comforted him: "That's right. The army is a place to train people, not for you to enjoy happiness. How many people can serve as guards beside General Tiger? A blessing that cannot be obtained even if you ask for it.”
On Sunday afternoon, my son went to the military camp.
Xue Qian received a call from Li Guobin. This guy was a sounding board - Hu Chong said first that 200,000 was not enough, and he had to add 500,000.
Xue Qian was confused for a while after hearing this: "Lao Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Guobin explained on the phone: "I'm just helping Brother Tiger pass a message."
Xue Qian was anxious: "Didn't I just ask for two hundred thousand last time?"
"This time is different from last time." Li Guobin said seriously: "Last time, the money was used to go through the enlistment procedures for your son. You also know that this year's recruitment time has passed. If your son wants to be a soldier, he can only You can change the data. Nowadays, all management is electronic, and the data must be entered by a dedicated person. If you want to do things, Mr. Xue, you have to give people money."
Xue Qian's heart was full of doubts: "But even if this is the case, why do we need to add five hundred thousand at once? This is not a small amount."
"Someone is coming from above." Li Guobin lowered his voice on the other end of the phone: "The army is different from the outside world. It requires inspections and re-examinations every year. The first is to check the quality of recruits, and the second is to check the enlistment procedures. To tell you the truth, Brother Tiger is very good. I regret it. I had dinner with him yesterday, and he said that this matter should not be taken up at all. I was drunk that day, and I happened to be in the mood, so I didn’t think much about it and promised to get your son in. After I woke up the next day , Brother Tiger regretted it and said that this was an illegal operation. If he were not careful, he might even get involved."
"...No...that's not it!" Xue Qian was frightened when he heard this, and he stammered: "Brother Tiger has so many leaders, whether he is a general or the commander of a military division, how come he can't be dealt with? "
"It's normal!" Li Guobin said: "This mountain is as high as another, and no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when he is under control. It's just like chess, where the elephant eats the lion, eats the tiger, eats the leopard, but can't beat the mouse."
Xue Qian felt confused and anxious, and his voice became louder: "What should we do now?"
"Didn't I tell you that I would like to pay another five hundred thousand?" Li Guobin comforted him: "Brother Hu said that he didn't want the money, it was for those who came to inspect it. Since your son has gone through the formalities for enlisting in the army, , you can't just send someone back after just one week. He can't do this kind of slap in the face, otherwise he will be sorry for you."
Anyway, it just comes down to two words - make up money.
Xue Qian really had no choice but to transfer 500,000 yuan to Li Guobin on his mobile phone.
Afterwards, he felt something was not right.
Joining the army is such a simple thing, why does it suddenly become so difficult?
Seven hundred thousand is not a small number, and many people may not earn that much in their lifetime.
Xue Qian is a man who has seen the world. He knows that if you want to accomplish something, you must spend money.
But not everything can take the road of "money".
Although Hu Chongxian kept saying, "I don't want a penny from you," the truth is that only he knows best.
Xue Qian didn't believe that Hu Chongxian didn't have any involvement in this. If he said that he didn't get a profit from it, Xue Qian wouldn't believe it even to death.
Xue Qian's character is a bit cowardly. It's not that he doesn't want to fight for some things, but he has some Buddhist roots. In addition, his son's enlistment was originally a request for help. He spent 200,000 before, and now he has to make up so much... ...There were too many uncertain thoughts in his mind. After thinking about it, he felt that it was better to wait and see.
If his son really becomes a guard in the army and is promoted to a military academy within two or three years, Xue Qian will accept it.
Spending money to buy a future is a normal choice for many parents.
The next week, my son came back again.
Xue Qian was a little surprised and asked: "Why do your troops still enjoy the weekend?"
The son explained: "Instructor Zhang asked me to come back. He said that I had just joined the army and I had been waiting for equipment for the past two weeks. This will not be the case after next week."
Xue Qian asked again: "With the endorsement, what else have you done in the army?"
"Learn to drive." The son answered quickly: "The instructor said that if I want to enter the guard camp in the future, I must first learn to drive."
This explanation was quite logical, and Xue Qian felt much better.
On Tuesday, Li Guobin called again, still asking for money.
This time he asked for 600,000. The reason was "get through to the superiors and let your son go to the imperial capital directly, participate in training, and then join the Central Guard Division."
Central Guard Division?
This name sounds noble.
Xue Qian felt that there were many things in his mind.
Li Guobin patiently persuaded on the phone: "This is the spot that Brother Tiger took a lot of trouble to get. The Central Guard Division is different from the Military Region Guard Corps. Once you enter, you will be the emperor's disciple, and you will be released directly later. At least you will be a regular regiment. Lao Xue, When it comes to the treatment of the army at the local level, a regular regiment officer is equivalent to a county-level cadre. Think about it, if your son is discharged from the army and comes back to you, the local government must arrange a job for him, and he will be directly a full-level officer."
"What is the concept of a director level? Don't look at Lao Xue. You are now running a restaurant and have a rich net worth. But if you are the director of a subdistrict office, you have to bow your head in front of others. Why? He is in charge of you! Sanitation, fire protection, etc. Food safety inspection, landscaping...it's like this for all big and small things. People issue fines at will, and you can only accept them honestly. But in terms of job duties, the director of the subdistrict office is at most a serious officer."
"There are three levels: district, city, and province. The district chief is the one in charge."
"Now you know how awesome it is! You can't find such an opportunity even if you hold a lantern! Let alone 600,000, I would be willing to do it even if it is one million! If my child hadn't been in junior high school since he was young, I asked for the relationship directly from Brother Tiger, and it was not your turn at all."
Xue Qian listened in a daze on the phone, and his blood surged.
All fathers do it for the good of their sons, and Xue Qian is no exception.
If he could stand out and have a bright future, he would spend hundreds of thousands without batting an eye.
But the question is, if all this money is spent, can it really have such a good effect?
That's the Central Guard Division!
Xue Qian felt that his mind was a little confused, so he had to prevaricate: "Wait a minute and let me think about it."
Li Guobin was anxious on the phone: "What's there to think about? This opportunity is rare. After passing this village, there won't be this store."
Xue Qian made a random excuse: "I know, but I don't have so much money."
Li Guobin didn't believe it: "Your hotel is very large, and it also has a catering business. A mere 600,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for you."
Xue Qian explained: "Total assets do not represent total cash. Lao Li, you are also in business, so you should understand this truth. I just gave you five hundred thousand last week, and now I have no cash on hand."
Li Guobin was silent on the phone for a few seconds: "What should we do? Brother Tiger said that this is an opportunity. He will help you occupy it for the time being, but it will only last for one or two days at most. Many people are staring at this opportunity. Even if he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Region, he cannot hold back the opportunity to study and train in the Imperial Capital!"
Xue Qian became interested again after what he said: "Otherwise, please ask Brother Hu to keep it for me first, and I will borrow it from my friends for turnover."
Li Guobin agreed simply: "Okay! Then hurry up! Don't delay the child."
After putting down the phone, Xue Qian called his friends on the business road to borrow money.
There must be a reason for borrowing money. Since the other party asked, Xue Qian just said a few words.
He has a problem, he likes to show off, let alone when it comes to his son. Once the door is opened, he can't hold it back.
As the old saying goes: The beholder is clear.
When my friend heard what he said on the phone, he became suspicious.
"Old Xue, I'm afraid there's something fishy about this. I have a relative whose son graduated from college last year and also chose to join the army. As far as I know, there are benefits for college students to join the army. Even after the enlistment time, the situation will not be like yours. That's so bad. And when it comes to security guards, this depends on multiple factors and you have to participate in selection."
"We are very familiar with each other, and I have met your son. I am a straightforward person, so don't be offended, Old Xue. Your son usually doesn't like sports, and his physical fitness is definitely not up to par. It will take at least one or two months to join the army. Adaptation period. Even if you have connections and can join the guard force, it will be difficult to survive the daily training. And you said that your son can go home for two consecutive weekends. He has to memorize various rules and regulations every day in the army... Lao Xue Ah! You have to be more careful. Could it be that the commander of the military region you are talking about is a liar?"
A few words, like an enlightenment, made Xue Qian completely sober.
He is indeed a fan of the authorities!
Xue Qian found that there were too many doubts about what happened before and after the contact.
He called Li Guobin and asked tentatively: "Lao Li, 600,000 is too much, and I can't get enough. How about you talk to Brother Hu, we are all friends, can it be less?" "
Li Guobin said in a somewhat unkind tone: "How much can you give me?"
Chapter completed!
