Ah Wang did not move at all. He did not even turn his head as he allowed Li He to pet him.
Li He felt even worse. In the past, Ah Wang would not have been so obedient. He might have even tilted his head to lick his hand and play around.
Ding Shiping said, "He has to eat every meal."
"Don't give him leftovers in the future. Buy dog food for him." Li He carelessly stroked his body. His hand was full of loose hair. It was obvious that he had too much salt.
Of course, it could also be because he was really old. The hair on his body was not as neat as before. Some parts of his body were bald as if he had a skin disease and new hair could not grow.
Ding Shiping nodded, indicating that he understood.
Li He rested at home for two days. Old Tang sniffed his nose and came over again, but this time, he brought his son along.
"You're treating me like an outsider. We're family." Li He looked at the big and small bags that the two of them brought over. He estimated that they were worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. It was considered a big gift.
Old Tang smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I was afraid that you wouldn't like these."
Although it was a small matter to others, it was a big matter to him. Moreover, he spent his time there. The time of the richest man in Asia was valuable!
When the news of the richest man in Asia reached Hong Kong, he was shocked. He only knew that Li He was rich, but he did not know that he was this rich!
If not for Li He's clear picture on the news, he would not have believed it!
"What are you talking about?" Li He shook his head helplessly. "Li Pei still calls you uncle. Sit, don't just stand there."
As for himself and Old Tang, they were just talking about their own business.
"What are you waiting for?" Old Tang said to his son with a straight face. "If not for your brother's help, you wouldn't have had it so easy. Don't even think about coming back. You should thank your Brother Li properly. "
He was also aware that he would not take Li He seriously in terms of seniority. Hence, he asked Tang Liwen and Li He to address each other as brothers.
Tang Liwen said with embarrassment, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Li."
He thanked Li He from the bottom of his heart. What's more, he was the richest man in Asia. It was enough for him to brag about it!
However, after being reprimanded by his father, he felt a little embarrassed. He was not a child!
Li He waved his hand and said, "We're family, no need to be so polite. Please have some tea."
"Thank you." Tang Liwen didn't let Li He take the teacup for him. Instead, he took the initiative to stand up and take the tea from the auntie's tray. He first handed a cup to his father and then to himself before sitting down.
Li He asked with concern, "That Qi guy didn't cause you trouble again, did he?"
Tang Liwen said, "His name is Qi Yougong. Mr. Yu and Mr. Shen are influential enough that he won't dare to cause trouble for me for now. "
Old Tang said, "I know Qi Yougong very well. It's true that he's ruthless, but he's probably the same as me. The older he gets, the more he's afraid of death. He's afraid that he won't be able to live a stable life. Without the courage of his youth, he still doesn't dare to go head-to-head with Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru."
Li He smiled and asked, "You guys built your foundation together, but you got kicked out of it. Aren't you unhappy about it? Aren't you thinking of revenge? "
Old Tang sighed and said, "I didn't hold it against him for so many years mainly because we carried guns together, stayed in the same trenches, slept in the same blankets, and protected me during the war. If it wasn't for him, I might not be alive today.
I've always been grateful to him for so many years.
Moreover, there's one thing I really admire about him. During the war against the Japanese, I was a coward and hated my parents for not giving me two more legs. I ran as far as I could, but he's different. He's always charging ahead and fought many tough battles. He fought with no regard for his life and never thought of retreating.
When he was shot by a Japanese machine gun, I teamed up with another brother to carry him to the battlefield hospital. We extracted three bullets from his body, but the conditions weren't good at that time. One of the bullets entered his abdomen from under his right armpit and has yet to be removed.
Therefore, I definitely resent him, but when I think of the past, I can let go of any resentment. After all, he saved my life before, so I'll just treat it as repaying him for saving my life.
Moreover, I have a son and a daughter now, and they're both quite promising. I should be content. "
"Dad, he saved your life before? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? "Tang Liwen was stunned.
Old Tang said, "Sigh, when did I ever tell you about the dirty things we had in the past? You're always asking around. I'll make things clear with you today, so you can let it go in the future. "
Tang Liwen did not say anything.
"No one is perfect." Li He had a new understanding of this man named Qi Yougong.
How could one differentiate between a good and a bad person?
Everyone had two sides, and the same person would be evaluated differently at different times.
The Tang father and son chatted with Li He for a while before leaving. Li He wanted to stay for lunch, so he did not ask them to stay.
In the first few days of 1995, China failed to reach an agreement in the negotiations for the resumption of customs relations.
The main problem was that the United States insisted on treating China as a "developed country."
In fact, China's economic situation was far from that of a developed country. There were 1.2 billion people in China, and 99% of the Chinese population did not even reach the minimum wage of 800 yuan for individual income tax.
Although the United States had already classified China as a "developed country," it did not stop them from continuing to criticize China.
In 1994, China's inflation rate had reached its highest in history.
The signs of the recession were everywhere: the market price was rising too high, the agricultural development was lagging, the foreign debt was rising sharply, and the fiscal and import and export deficits were high. Most state-owned enterprises and a large number of non-state-owned enterprises were facing serious difficulties in survival, and the enterprises were suffering losses. They owed each other a lot, and the international negotiations with the United States failed.
In the eyes of the Western world, this meant that China had fallen into a serious economic crisis.
The American scholar Lester Brown's 1994 report, "Who will feed China", shocked China and the world.
He believed that China, as the most populous country in the world, would inevitably face problems such as food supply shortage. This would cause chaos in the international community, and at the same time, it would bring a huge disaster to mankind.
After New Year's Day, people kept calling Li He to ask about China's economic trend. After all, the opinion of the richest man in Asia was very important.
Li He patiently explained to everyone why he was optimistic about China's economy.
After that, he was a little annoyed, as he had repeated himself too much.
Coincidentally, a Hong Kong reporter wanted to interview him through Guo Dongyun, and he agreed.
He could use the opportunity of the interview to publicly express his opinion and build market confidence. He felt that this was what he should do.
