Chapter 2510 They Want to Find a Backer

After saying this, Mosidov sat back in his seat and drank his tea, but he was observing the expressions of the two men from the corner of his eyes.

At this moment, his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

I was even a little nervous, a little panicked, and a little expectant.

As the outside world knows, the power struggle in Persia has reached its peak at this moment.

If one thing is not good, there will be war and division.

In the past, as a member of the nobility, he only needed to sit on the boat peacefully, enjoying the honor and wealth brought by his status. After living a prosperous life, he would pass his status to his son and that would be considered as completing his mission.

But after the last incident, he realized that his existence had become a thorn in the eyes of some people.

And these certain people are both external and internal.

From then on, he understood that status could bring honor and wealth, but it could also bring jealousy and resentment.

Without strength, you are just a fish on the chopping board.

From then on, for the sake of his son, he decided to change himself and become the person he hated before.

However, how can these few short years compare to others’ years of hard work?

Besides, they all have foreign aid.
So if he wants to make changes, he also needs external help.

However, as one of the two polarized beings today, supporting each side makes him feel stressed and anxious.

Because it is almost impossible to find the forces that are opposing each other.

Originally, he wanted to establish a connection with France, and invested tens of billions to purchase their machines and machinery. He was willing to do so even though he knew that the machines they gave him were second-hand and outdated.

The purpose is to connect with France.

Unfortunately, facing the United States and the Alliance, France showed even less "guts" than during World War II, and even knelt faster.

This made him disappointed and a little desperate.

The world is so big, but there is no way out for him.

Just when he was feeling helpless, the appearance of the Baiju fighter jet caused a ray of light to appear above the dark desert.

And as he paid more attention, this former friend, former brother in distress, actually stood up!

Thinking about the commotion the other party had caused in recent years, especially the mushroom clouds that appeared from time to time, he felt a new voice in his heart.

Just at this moment, the news from the camel next door cheered him up.

The speed and combat effectiveness of the plane that flew across the sky a few days ago shocked camels from various countries who attended the banquet.

It was then that he suddenly realized.

It turned out that his brother not only stood up, but also had weapons in his hands and became extremely strong.

Then the performance of the women’s volleyball team at the Olympics made him realize the resilience of this nation!
At this moment, he regretted not continuing to strengthen the relationship between the two sides and regretted missing the best opportunity.

Regret is one step too late for that damn camel.

But there is still a chance, especially because what his son Alafat did kept the friendship between the two sides alive.

So, taking this opportunity, he immediately brought his son here.

Purchasing weapons is just a superficial gesture of goodwill; the real intention is to achieve cooperation.

While Mosidov was confused, there was no change on the faces of Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen opposite him.

Maybe you might be a little shocked at first, after all, that’s one billion!
But after hearing the following words, they calmed down.

If it is just a 1 billion dollar business, then of course it would be warmly welcomed.

Just like a camel in the desert, it's just a business.

But later on, the other party obviously wanted more.

But they understand that the more they invest, the greater the demand!
The other party must have a bigger plan for giving so much money.

They can do business and make money to develop their revolutionary cause.

But we will never let the development of the revolution fall into difficulties.

Then, the two of them quickly calmed down and became as calm as a still pond.

There was not even the smile that Mosidov expected.

After a few minutes of silence, Mr. Chen gently picked up the cup with a smile on his face, "Mr. Mosidov, you've been traveling a long way. You should take a rest first, walk around the city and take in the winter scenery."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Mosidov's eyes, but he quickly reacted, picked up the cup and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality!"

"It's a good opportunity for us to take a look at the winter and the heavy snow here!"

The three of them drank tea and laughed, but did not mention what had just happened.

the other side.

Yang Xiaotao and Alfat were chatting about each other's recent situation.

Perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, Arafat's words always involve the current situation in Persia.

After listening to this, Yang Xiaotao just nodded and even pretended not to understand.

But in his heart, Yang Xiaotao was very impressed by the growth of this little brother.

As expected of a child from an aristocratic family, just because he didn't want to study before doesn't mean he didn't receive an elite education.

Now...

Yang Xiaotao looked at the seriousness on Alfat's face and suddenly realized that the pure friendship they had before was no longer a thing!

"Brother Yang, you have another child?"

Alfate asked in surprise. Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I just had it this year. It's a boy."

"By the way, you are sixteen this year, right? Do you have a girl you like?"

"If there is one, you should chase him boldly!"

Yang Xiaotao joked, but Alfat blushed a little, especially when he was asked if he had a girl he liked, he lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.

He did have a cousin whom he liked, but unfortunately, she had already married.

As for his future partner, his father told him privately that he would find a woman of equal social status.

As for when, it’s hard to say.

Seeing the other party's expression, Yang Xiaotao also understood the difficulty and quickly changed the subject, "When I have time, I will let them meet you at home. By the way, your sister-in-law also said last time that she wanted to make your favorite braised pork head."

Arfat laughed immediately. He was not like those Persian believers who refused to eat pork.

On the contrary, I tasted a lot of delicious food during my last treatment here.

"Okay, I also want to eat spicy tofu. By the way, is Dr. Zhu here? The fairy tales he told were really interesting."

At this point, Alfate approached Yang Xiaotao and whispered, "Brother Yang, when I went back last time, I found a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva hidden in my father's study. I heard that he bought it from a collector in France."

Yang Xiaotao raised his eyebrows, "No, your father, is it time to switch to Buddhism?"

Alfate shook his head. "I don't know, but sometimes I hear my father mumbling something like Wuliang Tianzun. Anyway, it's weird."

The Infinite Heavenly Lord?

Damn it, isn’t this an old-fashioned catchphrase?
These guys are really tireless in teaching others!

As the two were chatting, they saw Mr. Chen and Mr. Peng walking out of the reception room, followed by Mosidov.

All three of them had smiles on their faces, and Alfat quickly walked to his father's side with a questioning look in his eyes.

Mosidov remained calm, reached out and touched his son's head, then smiled at Yang Xiaotao before leaving.

After they sent Mosidov to the car, Yang Xiaotao, Wang Huzi and others looked at Old Chen and the other man.

"Commander, what are your plans for the afternoon?"

Wang Huzi asked if the tanks had already been delivered to the shooting range.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen was silent for a moment, then looked at Mr. Peng, "Mr. Peng, you have to consider this matter carefully."

President Peng nodded, "Well, they want a lot, we have to consider our position!"

"Let's go, we need to discuss this properly!"

Elder Chen then said to the others, "This afternoon's event is cancelled. Wait for further notice!"

With that said, the two of them left quickly, leaving Wang Huzi and Han Xuanfeng looking at each other in bewilderment.

After the two men got in the car and left, Yang Xiaotao and a few others were still confused.

"Old Han, you are smart, tell me what's going on?"

Mr. Zhang looked at the departing car with great curiosity, but he had no idea what was going on. He felt uncomfortable, as if he was being tickled by a cat's paw.

Han Xuanfeng frowned, looking confused. When he heard Mr. Zhang's question, he immediately shook his head, "I don't know, I don't understand!"

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao again, "What did that kid say just now?"

Wang Huzi also looked over. Yang Xiaotao and Alfat had spoken Persian before, so they couldn't hear clearly and it was inconvenient for them to go over and ask. They could only ask now. Seeing Han Xuanfeng and the other two looking over, Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment before speaking out his feelings.

"I think they are here to find a backer."

"backing?"

"us?"

The three of them were surprised, then they shut their mouths and looked at each other.

"I have something else to do here, I'll go back first."

Mr. Zhang walked out immediately.

Han Xuanfeng and Wang Huzi looked at each other, then nodded at Yang Xiaotao and walked towards their cars.

Yang Xiaotao watched them leave before getting in the car and heading to Yangjiazhuang.

However, Yang Xiaotao was also thinking about the pros and cons in the car.

To be honest, Yang Xiaotao was not optimistic about the intentions of Mosidov and his companions. It was not because he was unkind, but because of the current situation.

Even though we have mushroom bombs and aircraft missiles, if we really compare ourselves with the Alliance and the United States, the gap is not just a little bit, but several times the generation gap.

There is a big gap compared with France and Britain.

Furthermore, Mosidov does not have complete control over the situation in Persia. To put it bluntly, he is just a "force" and has no say at all.

If they want to have a say in the country's support for them, it will be no less difficult than for them to vote for Jiangnan in 49 and then unify the country.

This is almost an impossible task.

So when Yang Xiaotao heard the hidden meaning in Alfat's words, he just smiled and did not express his opinion.

Besides, his statement is useless.

When we drove directly back to Yangjiazhuang, we just caught the school closing time.

When the school gate opened, a group of children ran out screaming. Grandpa Yang stood at the school gate and smiled from time to time. Uncle Jiu, who was standing by, would go up to any naughty kid and shout at him.

Nowadays, many of the children who graduated from here in the early days have started working.

Moreover, most of them became workers.

Becoming a worker means moving to the city, eating food rations, and leading your family out of poverty and living on white flour.

Every villager has a scale in his heart to measure his living standards.

They might hesitate after hearing about it from others, but when they see people who are as poor as themselves living a good life just because their children go to school, the impact of this gap is shocking.

This made people in the villages around Yangjiazhuang realize the benefits of going to school.

Therefore, every time the school starts recruiting students, it is the busiest time in the surrounding area.

Since then, the school has never been short of students.

The scale of the school has been expanding.

This is not only the case with Yangjiazhuang Primary School, but also with the five primary schools that Ran Qiuye and her colleagues helped to build.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao also deserves credit for this, because his intervention made it easier for these rural children to enter the factories in Bujiu.

"Master!"

Seeing that most of the children in the school had left, Yang Xiaotao quickly ran to the school gate, "Uncle Jiu!"

After greeting the two, Grandpa closed the door with a smile, and Uncle Jiu asked, "How come you have time to come back?"

"I heard a while ago that you guys are making a big plane. I was wondering when you can fly it over our heads so that the kids can see it."

Yang Xiaotao took out a cigarette and lit it for the two of them. After hearing what Uncle Jiu said, he immediately patted his chest and said, "That's easy. I'll have someone make a model as big as a donkey cart and put it in the school!"

"Come on, I'm just saying."

Uncle Jiu smiled proudly. The Yang Xiaotao in front of him was still the same Yang Xiaotao. The same aura hadn't changed.

While talking, Yang Xiaotao also greeted the teachers in the school, especially the old principal, and they exchanged pleasantries after meeting each other.

"I'm not going up yet. I'll talk about it during the winter vacation!"

When he got home, Yang Xiaotao told him his intention.

Master Yang shook his head and refused to go.

Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou in the room tried to persuade him, but Mr. Yang was determined not to go.

"It's not like I can't walk or eat!"

"Besides, I am the principal of the school after all. The students haven't even had their holidays yet, so how can I leave?"

"Just go back. When the holiday comes, I'll go see Duanwu and Dudu. Also, I made a gun for Miaomiao. She's grown up now, so it's not appropriate to use the previous practice."

"You have to keep up with Duanwu's practice. And you too, don't lose our own skills."

"By the way, there are cucumbers in the greenhouse. You can bring them back for the children to taste..."

Originally, it was Yang Xiaotao who came back to pick up his grandfather, but in the end he became the one being lectured.

After having dinner in the village, Yang Xiaotao pulled a cart of things back to the courtyard.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley and Yang Xiaotao began to move things.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I looked at a group of old men chatting at the gate.

"Xiao Tao is back!"

"It's cold today, you need to wear more clothes!"

"Do I need to tell you that? Xiao Tao is holding on very well!"

When several old men saw Yang Xiaotao approaching, they all started to greet him.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded one by one, then looked at Yan Fugui and Comrade Lao Jin in the middle.

I don't know how these two found each other, but they were able to sit together.

When Comrade Lao Jin saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, he smiled at Yan Fugui and then walked into the house together.

Yan Fugui also smiled at Yang Xiaotao.

If you don't go out and take a walk, you won't know how big the world is.

If you don't go out and see the world, you won't know how broad your horizons are.

After I walked away and took a look, I realized that this courtyard was too small.

Only then did I understand how capable people like Yang Xiaotao are.

After returning home, Yan Fugui looked at the three aunts who were busy cooking, walked over and sat down on a chair beside them, with a happy and proud look on his face.

"What are you laughing at? Why don't you think about how to make money? How can our family survive with the little salary we get from school?"

"And now that the holidays are almost over, the school doesn't provide meals, and there will be one more mouth to feed this winter, this..."

The third aunt kept nagging, but Yan Fugui didn't care.

"Confused!"

"There are enough things to do at school. I don't have the energy to do anything else."

"Besides, if I give up this job, you can see that there will definitely be a group of people waiting for me."

"The teachers in our school are all very jealous."

"It's only because we live in the same courtyard with Teacher Ran that we have this assignment. Don't go out and cause trouble."

At this point, Yan Fugui's face became unusually serious, and the expression of the third aunt who was cooking also froze.

"I'm telling you, we can't just think about us."

"You need to think more about the second brother and his family."

"Do you think Yang Xiaotao has nothing to do with their current situation?"

"Besides, when one's position reaches Yang Xiaotao's level, there are some things that he doesn't need to tell others to do, and his subordinates will naturally try to curry favor with him."

"The second son of our family was able to become the director so quickly. Do you think it was all his own credit?"

"Some blessings, we have benefited from them, so we have to accept their kindness..."

Yan Fugui also started nagging, but the third aunt listened very carefully.

After all, it is a big matter concerning the second son of their family.

Right now, the only one they can count on for support in their old age is their second child.

As for the boss?

Ha ha…

As long as he can support himself, that's enough.
