Looking at the desolate fields and the dilapidated country houses, many people's faces became quite ugly.

"Mr. Xiao, what's going on? This is the research center you prepared for us?" Someone asked impatiently. If it weren't for the face of the intellectuals, someone would have cursed him long ago!

Xiao Qiang smiled mysteriously and pointed to a building in the distance: "Please be careful, please come with me there and you will know."

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a villa group in the distance, with about a dozen buildings, which seemed to be modeled after European style. In the center of the villa group, there was also a three- or four-story gray-white building, which looked like a medieval European castle.

Such a little building can also be called a research center?

Many people looked unpredictable, but it was unrealistic to walk back to the city alone in the wilderness. Xiao Qiang tried his best to invite them over again. These people endured the anger in their hearts and still reluctantly followed him to the villa group.

In fact, Xiao Qiang bought this villa area from someone else for only three million yuan.

Since the real estate boom began to emerge in the coastal areas, especially Hainan, in the mid-1980s, the first batch of people who have tried their best have made money. Chinese people who have been eager to get rich for many years seem to have found the threshold for getting rich, and have flocked to Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan, setting off a wave of building houses.

Many of these people are wild road construction engineering teams that have not been professionally trained. They do not know how to build houses or design them. They will repair them as they do. Many of them are masons on other construction sites for a few days and will go to the countryside, bring up a team, and run to catch up with this trend.

Among them, small villas that are imitating European style are the most built.

The first real estate boom since the domestic reform and opening up has emerged in such a chaotic and unregulated situation.

Soon, this trend has expanded from coastal to inland cities. Many large and medium-sized cities in provinces and cities have also begun to follow this trend, trying to get a share of the pie.

They did not consider how could they afford such an expensive villa with the meager income of the Chinese people?

In the late 1980s, with the bankruptcy of villa groups and the bankruptcy of real estate "builders" who had become rich, the trend slowed down. Many people who followed the trend lost all their money, and many banks that disregarded lending regulations and issued loans to the construction team without authorization were also trapped, and large amounts of bad debts appeared!

The villa purchased by Xiao Qiang was also built against this background.

From Xiao Qiang's perspective, the architectural styles of these villas are old and dull, blindly imitating coastal architectural models without any aura. Moreover, these people did not consider that when a large number of villa groups were built, the consumer market for these houses had not been cultivated. How could anyone buy such expensive villas?

Moreover, the villa group is built so remote that the living conditions of the Chinese people either live very close to their work unit or have convenient transportation. When no one can own a car now, building the villa group into the suburbs is in line with the house purchase habits of Western countries, but it obviously violates the market principles and is reasonable to suffer such a heavy consequence!

However, other people's pain would not make him feel ruthless when buying this villa group. The villa group built by the other party for more than 4 million was vacant for a long time and the bank was anxious to recover debts, so he forced him to buy it for three million.

Hundreds of scientific and technological personnel are not physically strong workers, and they look out of breath after walking this stretch.

But before they arrived at the villa group, they heard the sound of shouts of killing coming from inside, which surprised them.

When they arrived at the edge of the villa group, they finally saw dozens of strong-muscular young men in the open space in the middle of the villa group were undergoing grappling and fighting training.

These people looked in their twenties, and their faces looked rough and dark due to years of outdoor activities. On this cold day, they only wore a black vest and used the open space in the middle of the villa as a training ground, sweating profusely and shouting to death.

On the edge of the villa group, there are also long military tents built. When you look at it, you will know that it is the residence of these people.

At the front of this group of people, there was a man with a shirtless vest. At first glance, he saw Xiao Qiang bringing people and ordered loudly: "Suspend training, everyone gathers!"

The young men who were training immediately ran towards him, and in less than ten seconds, they were arranged in an orderly platoon in front of him.

These scientific and technological workers who followed Xiao Qiang were all from military-industrial units, and they were already used to seeing soldiers.

At this moment, when you see these people's movements, you are surprised to see each other - these people are all well-trained elite soldiers, how could they appear here?

Some of them did not believe that Xiao Qiang was a private entrepreneur. Seeing this scene, they strengthened their views. Therefore, they also had a little more confidence in whether Xiao Qiang had the ability to fulfill his promises, which was unexpected by Xiao Qiang.

The leader of the team finished assembled, ran to Xiao Qiang, stood firm, and shouted, "Salute!"

The small team stood at attention together, and with a uniform movement, he saluted Xiao Qiang a standard military salute.

The opponent also saluted Xiao Qiang. Although the two were less than one meter apart, they still shouted at the top of their voice: "Bai Xiaoquan, the captain of the Universal Electronic Security Special Detachment, welcome to visit and inspect. Please give me instructions!"

In the team, strong men stood like pine trees, and their eyes were identified. No matter how they looked, they were all a rigorously trained military team.

However, the black vests they wore were printed on their backs with the words "Electronic Security Special Detachment", which means they were not affiliated with the army!

They are indeed not active-duty soldiers, but security teams formed by Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang used to have no territory, no factory, production lines, office buildings and other information storage places, and needed special protection. Therefore, he had never considered this issue.

However, with the approval of the planning land use, the personnel, with the help of Director Zhou, were about to be called up. As soon as the factory building was officially started, within a few months, Huanyu Electronics could invest in normal research and operation. At this time, he thought of forming a security team.

All-in-one Electronics involves high-tech research. As products continue to be launched in the future, competitors from home and abroad will inevitably turn their attention here. It is also imperative to form a team to protect the secrets from being stolen.

The same is true for regular research institutions in the country, including special armed police or military guards.

However, Xiao Qiang's company is a private enterprise after all. He cannot apply to the state to provide security tasks with active-duty soldiers. So he turned his attention to veterans.

He used the friendship with Zheng Yiting during the exercise to make a request for assistance to the other party. Soon, he got the other party's positive reply: He can choose any veterans within the Northern Military Region. If there are more, there will be no problem with three or five thousand!

The old veterans were all responsible for resettlement and could find employment in factories. In recent years, this policy has been abolished, and a large number of veterans came from the countryside. After leaving the army, they either went home to farm, or left their hometowns and went to the coastal areas to earn income higher than that in rural areas. After returning to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, these people told the villagers that the money earned by working was far more than the income from doing farm work. Therefore, in the second year, among the people who left the countryside and went to work on the coast, there were many fellow veterans. Day after day, the team of farmers who went to the coast to work gradually expanded, forming a so-called wave of working. And these people also had a new title: migrant workers!

Xiao Qiang was willing to accept veterans from the Northern Military Region and said that it was a high-paying employment, so he was naturally warmly welcomed by them!

The roster was put out, and under Zheng Yiting's personal leadership, the officers of the Veterans Resettlement Department praised their veterans as rare in the sky and no underground, as if the most outstanding veterans in the entire army were concentrated in their military region.

This one was the winner of three major competitions; that one was an outstanding soldier in military exercises; Wang Moumou, who had made two third-class merits; Zhang Moumou, who had won the title of military training model...

Xiao Qiang carefully selected fifty people from these veterans. Their common characteristics came from the reconnaissance troops. They were agile and it was absolutely easy to deal with five or six strong opponents with bare hands.

Facing the disappointed expression of Zheng Yiting and others, he told them that when his company was officially established and operated normally, he would ask him for more people in the future. At that time, it would not be dozens, but hundreds! He was so happy that the officers in the resettlement office of the veterans could not even close their mouths and kept saying that he would invite Xiao Qiang to dinner.

However, Bai Xiaoquan, the captain of the detachment, was not from the Northern Military Region, but his father Xiao Jianjun came to recommend it after hearing this.

Bai Xiaoquan is a company commander. He is one of the top leaders in the Southwest Military Region and directly under the investigation camp. However, his heart has never been able to settle down. He has asked his superiors to retire several times.

According to Xiao Jianjun, Bai Xiaoquan's mother has always been in poor health. Her family is in the countryside, and her three brothers and two sisters are not well off. The old man was able to sit for a while a few years ago, but in the past two years he became increasingly in good health. He spent a lot of time lying in bed and taking medicine to see a doctor and take medicine.

Bai Xiaoquan was in the army, even if he was the company commander, how much money did he have? Although he sent all the subsidies he distributed home every month, it was a drop in the bucket and was useless!

He was in a hurry to retire from the army, hoping to work in the coastal areas, earn more money and treat his old mother!

After understanding the reason, Xiao Qiang immediately took out 5,000 yuan and handed it to Bai Xiaoquan, asking him to take his mother to the hospital immediately for a comprehensive examination. If he could be cured, it would be better to be hospitalized. At the same time, he said that if he needed his help, he could help contact the hospital in Beijing to provide better treatment for the elderly.

Taking the money given by Xiao Qiang, Bai Xiaoquan's eyes suddenly turned red. A young man suddenly cried bitterly, which made Xiao Qiang watch, and he couldn't bear it and comforted him.

Bai Xiaoquan completed the discharge procedures as quickly as possible, rushed back to his hometown, and sent his mother to the hospital for further examination. Then he handed over the money to his elder brother's family and asked them to take care of his mother with all their heart. He bought a ticket overnight and rushed back to Beijing to report to Xiao Qiang.

Faced with such a trustworthy and righteous person, and his father's subordinate, what else can Xiao Qiang say? As the old saying goes, if you use your confidants, isn't Bai Xiaoquan equivalent to his confidants?

Xiao Qiang directly appointed him as the captain of the company's security team.

However, Xiao Qiang thought the word "security" was too rustic, so he gave a title that was closer to the atmosphere of the army, called "Security Special Detachment". This name was also loved by all the team members. When they heard this name, they felt like they were back in the army and had a very sense of belonging.

Even their uniforms were designed specifically by Xiao Qiang. They combined the police uniforms in his past life and the style of the German SS. They were based on black and silver edgings. They were tight and clever when worn, and they also had the temperament of soldiers. In addition to not having a steel helmet, they also looked no different from soldiers.

Even Xiao Qiang himself did not expect the surprises this warning team would bring him in the future.

However, these guys were probably too excited. Dozens of people gathered together and actually designed their own eaves, collars, hat badges, and secretly found someone to make them and sew them onto the clothes.

Xiao Qiang was shocked when he saw this!

These guys are really brave! Xiao Qiang designed this uniform, and except for the signs such as epaulettes, it can be said to be a security uniform. They added these without knowing that they were all over the world. Didn’t they design a separate military uniform?

Can't they rebel?

He immediately ordered them to take down all the messy things and strictly order them not to be spread! If outsiders know that no matter what their original motive was, it would be a great thing and would not be able to take it away!

Just like the team members standing in front of Xiao Qiang now, they are all wearing black special team training uniforms without military rank signs.

Although they look energetic and the team members are also holding their heads up, they can still tell from the "Gianyu Electronic Security Detachment" that they do not belong to the military organization! They are a security team within the enterprise!

But at present, even if these measures are taken, looking at their training content, queue collection, etc., it is completely militarized, which is no wonder that those scientific and technological personnel are surprised.

Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly and looked at the technician who was whispering around, and replied with a greeting: "Ask for a moment!"

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking, all the members of the alert detachment were resting at the same time, and the neatness of his movements was like a single person.

Xiao Qiang coughed and said, "Today..."

Bang!

As he spoke, every member of the alert detachment made an action of standing attentively.

This is common in the army. When the leader was giving a speech, all soldiers would stand at attention, and then the leader ordered "rest a little, no need to stand at attention." Only when the speech was given, everyone would keep rest at a little. Now facing Xiao Qiang, although he was not in the army, after years of training, especially when seeing Xiao Qiang wearing military uniform, they still got used to it and made a standard militarization reaction.

Xiao Qiang's head was too big. He repeatedly asked the team members not to "report" at any time when they saw him, nor to call him "chief", nor to salute the military. However, until now, everyone is still used to calling him "General Xiao". Other habits still retain the style of the army. It seems that it will take a long time to turn it all around!

He said with an unnatural expression: "Captain Bai, I am bringing the company's researchers here to see. I will allocate their living place later. You can bring a few people to accompany you. Others, don't be busy with training and empty the venue. I will be useful."

"Yes!" Bai Xiaoquan saluted again, turning around perfectly, doing beautifully and simply, which made the tech workers behind him praise him.

Bai Xiaoquan couldn't run back to the front of the queue and shouted loudly: "A small team, accompanying General Xiao to accompany the task! The other teams, led by the team leader, continue to train! Disband!"

Xiao Qiang looked at their stern actions and could only shake his head. He didn't know whether to praise their skilled military skills or blame them for not treating security guards as warriors!

Seeing this small team, the researchers' hearts were much more at ease. But some people still expressed their dissatisfaction, but they were just talking more tactfully.

"Mr. Xiao, is this your current research center? The place is very quiet and the environment is pretty good. But this... is a little smaller?"

Xiao Qiang smiled and asked everyone to come to the middle venue, pointing to the tallest building, and said, "Everyone wait for a few minutes, and I will let everyone see the whole picture of our company!"

In the researchers' puzzled eyes, Xiao Qiang took Bai Xiaoquan and seven or eight others into the four-story high-rise building. After a while, a group of people came out carrying a large conference table. The tabletop was covered with a blue velvet curtain, which was uneven, showing that there was something underneath.

Xiao Qiang was also in the middle, carefully lifting the table, as if he was breaking the things on the table.

Seeing them coming, the crowd quickly separated from both sides and asked them to come to the center of the crowd.

Xiao Qiang and others put down the conference table with slightest move. Bai Xiaoquan saluted Xiao Qiang, took the team members back, and asked the researchers to gather.

Xiao Qiang looked around and shouted, "Originally, I arranged the display in this entertainment center. But I didn't expect that everyone's enthusiasm for serving the country would be so high that so many people could stay. Since that's the case, we will be in the open air and look forward to our future together with everyone!"

As he finished speaking, he unveiled the curtain on the long conference table.
To be continued...
