rebirth of evil

As the summer of 1991 drew to a close, Kaiyang, the capital of South Central Province, was still immersed in joy and encouragement.

The capital has directly issued a document of commendation, specifically naming and praising the flood control plan led by Huo Jihai: Due to the various flood control works carried out before the flood, the central and southern floods in 1991 did not cause too much loss of life and property. The timely and scientific post-disaster reconstruction work not only spared the catastrophic blow of the flood, but also set a good example for the national flood prevention and disaster relief.

In fact, there was nearly two months of drought in the central and southern regions before this flood came. Many people ridiculed behind their backs, "Huo Jihai did a good job in flood prevention, and the flood has disappeared."

Just when this kind of joke was spreading the most, the unprepared continuous rainstorm came to the central and southern regions.

Now everyone couldn't laugh anymore, and immediately found out the flood control plan that was a joke a few days ago and acted quickly.

Mo Jiandong was also urgently transferred to Kaiyang during this period and became a member of Huo Jihai's subordinates—Huo Jin ran to Linyang twice, and brought the materials written by Mo Jiandong back to the capital, obviously because he valued the Mo family very much.Since the grandson wants to do this favor, Mr. Huo doesn't mind going to say hello.

In the eyes of Mr. Huo, it is a good sign that Huo Jin is willing to manage contacts, and it is even better if he is willing to advise Huo Jihai.Mr. Huo originally planned to train Huo Jin, and then let him work behind Huo Jihai to continue the glory of the Huo family.

There is no way around this, the eldest daughter Huo Jihong is already married, so she cannot do anything; the eldest son Huo Jijiang is a bastard who spends his days drinking; Unable to pick out anyone who can handle things, Mr. Huo had no choice but to focus on training his two grandsons.

Huo Lin is also good, but unfortunately his temper is too stubborn, and his father Huo Jijiang is not up to date, after much deliberation, only Huo Jin is suitable.

Mr. Huo's painstaking efforts Huo Jin has long experienced in that "future", but since he can convince Mr. Huo once in the "future", of course he is sure to persuade him a second time here.He is not in a hurry to show that he is ready to put down the burden and quit. Right now, he still has a lot to do under the title of "Young Master Huo", and some things still need to be done step by step.

Now Huo Jihai is not only not implicated by the flood in Zhongnan, but he is expected to go one step further and truly become the leader of Kaiyang City; according to what the old man said, the Huo family should immediately take a clear stand to support reform, and in the future, the sky will be high and the sea will be broad. Roaming—at least the old man won't be in trouble again while he's alive.

Under the pressure of the general situation, what conspiracy can affect the Huo family's status?Yang Xiurong's mother's side is also a trivial matter.

Huo Jin's mood changed from a bad thing to a good thing in the South Central flood. The performance of his good mood is that he flew directly from the capital to Kaiyang to live with Huo Jihai. By the way, he also brought his mother, Yang Xiurong, to let the couple cultivate emotion.

Unexpectedly, there was a surprise when they met: it turned out that Li Xiangyun and Yang Xiurong were classmates!

It’s just that ordinary classmates have nothing to say. The surprise lies in Yang Xiurong’s attitude towards Li Xiangyun. Yang Xiurong seems to adore Li Xiangyun—yes, that’s right.It's a bit strange that this kind of emotion appears in a 30-year-old woman, but it's okay when it comes to Yang Xiurong's character.

It turned out that when they were in college, a small group of young people gathered together to have fun under the pretext of "learning from the West"—they committed the crime of "hooliganism."Yang Xiurong was originally introverted and didn't like these things, but some friends of her brother Yang Anmin liked to block her and frightened her to tears several times.As a result, Li Xiangyun bumped into him once, and without a word, he stood up and drove the group of "hooligans" away.At that time, Li Xiangyun was a famous figure, and Yang Xiurong occasionally paid attention to Li Xiangyun's affairs, but she didn't dare to ask more.

Seeing Li Xiangyun in Kaiyang, Yang Xiurong was surprised and delighted!She didn't dare to make friends with Li Xiangyun before, and she has never had many friends. Now that Mo Jiandong is transferred to work under Huo Jihai, she is very happy.

The two women quickly changed from old acquaintances to close friends. Huo Jihai and Mo Jiandong also felt that each other's tempers were very suitable. In addition, Mo Jiandong's office dormitory was also close to Huo Jihai's house, so they came and went frequently.

The main beneficiaries of this transformation are Huo Jin and Mo Fan.

The relationship between the two of them is actually quite boring. They often read a book with each other in their hands. Occasionally, Huo Jin holds Mo Fan on his lap to look at his comments on it, and then express his own opinions.They are not playful people, and they have the same idea: spread the situation before they can grasp the general trend, so that they can better use their hands and feet in the later stage.

Although the time has gone back 20 years, nothing they have to do is easy. For this reason, they must walk ahead of others and learn more.

With the status of the Huo family, it is not difficult to obtain various monographs and materials.Huo Jin also got in touch with some professors at Kaiyang University very low-key. This low-key means that he did not reveal his identity. In fact, whenever he and Mo Fan encountered problems they didn’t understand, they would go to their homes to bother them.

Mo Fan was thin-skinned at first, and he didn't dare to ask questions like Huo Jin.Later, I found that many scholars are very open-minded at this time, as long as the questions are not nonsense, they will basically answer them patiently, and the answers are very inspiring to a non-professional person like him. Ask enough questions—occasionally stagger actions with Huo Jin, and exchange ideas later.

In the past two months, all educated people in Kaiyang who have anything to do with economics and politics know that there are two difficult little devils who often come to make things difficult for them with weird questions. Someone sent to smash the field.

However, these two children are too smart!

Kaiyang is said to be a first-tier city in the central and southern regions, and Kaiyang University can be ranked even if it is placed in the whole country.As a professor of Kaiyang University, I have met some bright students, but there are really no ones who can thoroughly understand relevant domestic and foreign monographs at such a young age, and also dabble in foreign language knowledge and statistical knowledge "a little bit"!

What's even more rare is that they are really willing to work hard to learn.The writings brought by others are densely packed with annotations, and even the graduate students I brought didn’t read them so deeply—not to mention that there are many original documents from abroad!

Where did these two little guys come from?

This doubt lingers in the Kaiyang academic circle.

What happened next was even more surprising. They didn't seem to be satisfied, and they started to reach out to the computer field again. The level of computers in 1991 was still very backward. Microsoft was only qualified to compete with IBM in the personal computer market last year, and the Windows operating system was released to Windows3. Few people would spend thousands of dollars to buy a computer and put it at home.

At least Huo Jihai didn't buy it. Huo Jin and Mo Fan only started thinking about it when they heard that Kaiyang University also offered computer courses.

As soon as they started thinking, the computer group was in trouble again, and the rest of the day was busy.

At this time, Hu Yi'an, who was far away in the capital, suddenly created a magazine - "Zeitological Trends".In recent years, Mr. Hu has been a mainstay in the literary world, and his style of writing has gradually become more realistic. He is extremely sharp in pointing out the current disadvantages, but he can also support the name "Zeitological Trends".

It is not accurate to say that this magazine appeared suddenly, at least Huo Jin knew about it.

At first, Mo Fan thought he had forgotten that there was a book "Zeitological Trends" in 91, but after seeing Huo Jin's calm expression, he understood that it was written by Huo Jin.

Seeing that Mo Fan didn't ask, Huo Jin had no choice but to explain: "Mr. Hu used to be my dad's teacher. I visited him a few times during the Chinese New Year and talked about some ideas. He seemed to agree. By the way, your uncle is in a disaster situation. When it was the worst, he went straight to the front line, helped fight the disaster, and wrote a good article. Mr. Hu is very satisfied with him, and Zeitgeist should not be able to do without him."

Mo Jianli kept in mind what Hu Yi'an said - "You have to go to the disaster, you have to go to the suffering, and you can write the sweetest words", so he heard that Mo Jiandong was mobilized to the disaster area and followed him, and voluntarily ran to the disaster area. Participated in many rescue operations in the worst-hit areas.

Originally, the superiors were going to reward Mo Jianli, but he had already thrown himself on the manuscript paper, writing non-stop, as if possessed by a demon.Later, he went to the capital again, and after receiving two letters, he seemed to concentrate on following Mr. Hu——Mo Jianli is a person who is easy to forget himself when he gets involved, so it’s no wonder that Mo Fan and Mo Jiandong don’t know about him. Participated in the creation of Zeitgeist news.

It was this kind of "selflessness" that created Mo Jianli later.

Mo Fan saw a deeper meaning: "The debate between the two factions is about to kick off. Who are you preparing the stage for, the Zeitgeist?"

The reformists and conservatives were supposed to follow the floods in the south of China, but they were delayed by Huo Jin's intervention.

However, it is impossible to delay this major event. As far as the domestic situation is concerned, reform is imperative, and it will inevitably change the domestic economic situation and political structure with a powerful attitude.

Since Huo Jin can benefit Huo Jihai from what should have been a disaster, such as the Zhongnan flood, he will definitely not let go of the shareholder wind of reform.

Huo Jin and Mo Fan had already established a certain tacit understanding in business affairs, and said with a smile: "Did you think some of the things we exchanged with the professors in Kaiyang during this time are useful?"

Mo Fan nodded.

Huo Jin continued: "If they publish an article on Zeitgeist together, the people in the capital will definitely not be convinced, and will start to think of ways to refute. At that time, I will 'ask' in the capital, and you will 'ask' here , what do you think will happen?"

What's the situation?Of course it's a good situation!

If the academic circle also starts "controversy", most domestic theories will advance rapidly in a short period of time.

What does theoretical maturity mean?It means that practice can begin!

As an important party in the "controversy", Kaiyang should receive a lot of attention.In that "future", the main beneficiaries are the southern coastal cities, and this time the central and southern regions should also get a share!

At that time, Huo Jihai and Mo Jiandong will carry out some projects and publish some articles in provincial newspapers at the right time, and take advantage of the reform trend to take a firm stand and do more practical things. It will not be a problem to advance their positions in the next few years.

Mo Fan and Huo Jin looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

Once the general situation changes, they will have to explore everything next by themselves!

At this time, Huo Jin and Mo Fan had already jumped out of the scope of "keeping the Huo family/Mo family" and focused on a larger direction.

This era is full of challenges, but also full of opportunities!

Both Mo Fan and Mo Fan were eager to try.

But besides being excited, Huo Jin and Mo Fan, who are going to do big things, ushered in the start of school: Huo Jin is going back to the capital to go to...the fifth grade; Mo Fan is going to Kaiyang Primary School to report and go to...preschool.

Had the people they visited known this, their eyes would have popped out.
