Chapter 143: Memories of the World of Xiangcheng Tycoon
Mai Fan's fingers once again touched the memory point, and memories that did not belong to Mai Fan were poured back into his mind through the diary.
The first thing Mai Fan saw was the node that made him return.
When he was in his sixties, he asked his old servant Awen to charter a plane to the mainland where he had not returned for many years.
At this time, the mainland is showing a warm welcome to investment from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Mai Fan, who is well aware of what the inland will develop into in the future, must take this opportunity to return the huge wealth he earned overseas to the embrace of his true motherland.
By the way, you can also return home in fine clothes and return to your hometown with honor.
With this idea in mind, Mai Fan got in touch with the staff of the Ministry of Commerce with whom he had previous dealings. After expressing his willingness to invest in an offshore market, the two parties made an appointment to meet.
time.
Before Mai Fan took the flight to return to Haishang, in addition to making preparations for normal capital flow, he also made a special trip to the luxurious cemetery he purchased for relatives of the Mai family in Xiangcheng.
It was a small hillside that was still undeveloped.
And this hillside is where Ding Ran’s bones were buried.
Forty years ago, after Mai Fan moved his family to Xiangcheng, the first thing he did was to buy this barren mountain and use it as a tomb for his family and himself.
Now, the mountain has been rebuilt in accordance with Mai Fan's requirements. The lush slopes are covered with dense vegetation. Only the shady mountainside is covered by several majestic tombs.
Mai Fan's parents, Mai Fan's wife, and Mai Fan's former comrades are buried here.
Now, he finally had the opportunity to take their whole family back home.
Probably because they wanted to return to their homeland, even Mai Fan's parents had not thought about burial. If Mai Wencai and Chu Shaoxue were not afraid of being separated underground, these two fashionable men and women might have had a fight.
Go back romantically in Hong Kong.
It was Mai Fan who mentioned his return in the future that finally put his parents' unreliable ideas back.
Now, they finally have the opportunity to return and be buried in the hometown they have longed for.
Mai Fan did all this very smoothly and received great cooperation from the overseas market.
It’s good to return to your homeland. People are back, so won’t the money be back too?
Therefore, Mai Fan easily completed the burial procedures for his family.
At the same time, he also started the difficult journey of finding relatives and visiting old friends.
Because Mai Fan had already started a plan to retreat since the latent party was on the verge of defeat.
The clues and connections he once had are now decades old.
Looking for a few people based on the information he has is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
As for the few names that Mai Fan could name, Ji Zhongyuan, Yu Zecheng, the four brothers and sisters of the Ming family, and Ding Nianran, the only information that can be researched is the information of the four brothers and sisters of the Ming family and Ding Nianran.
Oh, Ding Nianran still used his pseudonym, Zheng Yao first found out.
But this result was not as good as Mai Fan imagined.
First of all, Ding Nianran died very early, probably twenty years after liberation, that is, in 1960.
The cause of his death was that he suffered from physical injuries and eventually died of a serious illness.
The only thing that made Mai Fan feel gratified was that Ding Nianran finally recovered his true identity before he died, and died in an environment where he received national awards and thanks.
It was better than when Mai Fan looked through the official information and discovered that Comrade Yu Zecheng was an enemy agent who fled to Wanwan.
As for the Ming family with whom he once had contact, but later lost communication due to the blockade of the motherland.
It seems that due to overseas connections, the whole family moved to the United States.
Then there are only two things left.
Searching for news about Ji Zhongyuan, and burying Ding Nianran and Ding Ran's tombs together.
The second point was handled very smoothly, because Ding Nianran, as one of the rehabilitated martyrs, was first buried in the National Martyrs Cemetery.
Mai Fan didn't know how to apply for the title of martyr for a person whose name had never been left in history and who was not even the current righteous party.
Mai Fan could only apply for a cemetery for Ding Ran facing his brothers in the nearest cemetery.
Even if it means he has fulfilled the promise he made to Ding Ran on the green hillside.
Then, there is the matter of dealing with his family and parents.
Their wish is very simple, they want to return to the ancestral graves of the Mai family.
That village is far away in Dongshan Province, Fangwei City, where all the villages have the surname Mai and Chu.
They are the branch that came out from there. In line with the final destination of fallen leaves returning to their roots, their villagers and clan elders must have left a burial place for the people of their branch.
The person who did all this for Mai Fan was his only son, Mai Yizhan.
This tycoon, who inherited his father's business skills, is respectful and respectful in front of his old father.
After they arrived inland, he and his father separated.
He returned to that slightly backward small village with the memories of the Mai family.
There, he will transfer part of his property there.
It is used to build roads and bridges, build electricity, and develop water power, striving to drive the roots of the Mai family to become rich and prosperous.
And his father will stay in Shanghai to find the whereabouts of his last old friend.
Ji Zhongyuan, according to Mai Fan's description of the relevant departments, this should be a very important figure.
However, there is no such person among the current important positions and the named people recorded in the data.
The name Ji Zhongyuan is probably also a pseudonym.
Just when the clues were broken, Mai Fan suddenly thought of another person, through whom he might be able to find clues about Lao Ji in a roundabout way.
"Lan Mengyao. Is there someone with this name?"
The secretary at the reception desk who was asked was stunned, and then called his superior.
About two days had passed since this incident. Just when Mai Fan thought the other party still couldn't find any useful clues, he received an inexplicable phone call in his room.
"Mai Fan?"
"it's me."
There was a long silence on the other side.
Mai Fan asked tentatively: "Lan Mengyao?"
The person over there looked a little surprised: "How did you know it was me?"
Mai Fan smiled: "I didn't leave any romantic debts in the mainland. Everyone who came to receive me had heard that I was deeply in love with my wife in Xiangcheng, so naturally they wouldn't engage in any lesbian affairs.
Add to the trouble for me."
"This is a suite in a star-rated hotel, so there can't be any special services."
"In addition, I only mentioned one person's name a few days ago, so now the caller has only one choice left?"
"Lan Mengyao, old classmate, how have you been in these years?"
