Chapter 368: Return

Time is something that catches people off guard, especially in the great era of the outbreak of the third technological revolution, making people feel that time is faster and they cannot adapt.

Hong Kong truly showed its potential and rose rapidly.

As the leading enterprise in Hong Kong, Long Teng Group, of course, needless to say. Wang Yan had experienced multiple worlds, and this Long Teng was no different. If there was any difference, it was that it was established early. Really speaking about technological progress, it was actually not very obvious.

This was also a difficult problem Wang Yan encountered now. The things he mastered now were all top-notch technologies of the new century. It was not an easy task to get them to the previous time and let those talented scientists absorb and learn them. And letting them push the old and bring forth the new, and update one step on this basis, was even more difficult.

The artificial intelligence, new materials, aerospace, nuclear research, and other cutting-edge technologies related to the sea of stars he mastered now were all top-notch in the real world's timeline, and even leading.

And the time he traveled was very awkward. By the time he spread out that stall and the technology reached the most advanced he mastered, there was not much time for all the research. After all, existing technological achievements were never achieved overnight, and many pre-technologies were needed. So now it was basically stuck here, and the progress was very slow. It made him have no interest in following the laboratory to learn and research, his enthusiasm faded severely, and he only occasionally went to see the situation, guided the general direction, and confirmed that it did not go astray.

The rise of Long Teng was something many people did not want to see, of course, they could not stop it even if they did not want to see it.

When the Strengthening Pill circulated in the world and was sought after by the rich, Long Teng was the most profitable company in the world. What limited them from making money was not technology, not the market, but simply the growth cycle of medicinal materials. Otherwise, how much was sold, how much was sold.

At the same time, Long Teng was also involved in other high-end technologies. During the Cold War, the two countries competed in the space race, and the only one that kept up with the channel was Long Teng. Satellites, space shuttles, moon exploration, etc., all followed.

And computers, because of the launch of a series of so-called productivity software, although the launch time was late and it was smeared and targeted in various ways, it still occupied 40% of the market share. The reason why it did not occupy more was because others joined forces to lower prices and engage in vicious competition. Long Teng did not do that, Wang Yan always liked market diversity and liked competition, because that would bring about a leap in technology.

After all, even if he invested a hundred years of time to study the "Chaos" series, he did not know whether it was the correct path for the future. So the future of all mankind should not be just his own exploration. To provoke world technological hegemony and stimulate technological development, he also wanted to see if there was anything worth learning from. After all, his advantage was not superhuman IQ, but wisdom accumulated by broad knowledge. Really speaking about the brain, he was not as good as those scientists. Who knew if someone's brain would suddenly twitch and open another new era...

Not to mention the filth, the development of the world was still very good, and the technological process was faster than the original historical trajectory. By 1998, Long Teng successfully produced the world's first smartphone. Ten years ahead of schedule, the era of mobile internet began.

As for the mainland, after determining Pengcheng as a special economic zone in 1980, Long Teng moved its factories in the Northern District and Yuen Long to Pengcheng without saying a word. The factories there were built in advance. After all, as a super giant enterprise in the world, the leader was Chinese, and he was also serving in the Hong Kong police force. Without bragging, many aspects had to consider Long Teng, and even Long Teng's attitude was very important.

Wang Yan's attitude had always been very clear, coupled with the fact that Long Teng's business dealings with the mainland had never stopped, and he had also put forward the idea of opening factories in Pengcheng before, so when the situation in the mainland reached that point, even if there was no clear announcement, he was given no small amount of land in 1978. It was also like this, when Long Teng's funds were truly invested in the mainland, just building factories and buildings made people truly feel the benefits.

Long Teng was not just migrating labor-intensive industries, other various computers, Strengthening Pills, etc. production and manufacturing were all moved there. Although the industry had been upgraded, there were still many employees who were engaged in low-end manufacturing and had not retired. And this part of the employees, because of Long Teng's real estate development and welfare provided in recent years, basically lived in the New Territories, and it was not far from Pengcheng. So Wang Yan engaged in cross-sea work, sending cars to pick up and drop off every day. If they didn't want to come back, dormitories were also built there, and there were shuttle buses at any time on rest days to go home and see, which were not bad.

In fact, when acquiring Chinese herbal medicine in the mainland before, Long Teng's power had already been displayed. Wang Yan had a set of effective, multi-world, multi-year verified Chinese herbal medicine sustainable development industrial processes. As early as when he started selling Strengthening Pills in the 1960s, he handed this detailed plan to the mainland. Under the background of the mainland at that time, Chinese herbal medicine became one of the pillar industries of the mainland to a certain extent. Adding other Long Teng support, even if there was a decade, in terms of development in all aspects, it was far beyond the same period.

Of course, if these could not be done, Wang Yan would not have to mix anymore.

However, it was still the same problem, Long Teng was too big and too critical. It was still the same sentence, it didn't matter if it didn't exist in history, but now that it existed, it couldn't not exist. So as early as before the return, Wang Yan consciously established an organization branch, and after the return, state-owned assets accounted for 20% of the shares, only supervising the distribution of money, and not managing other matters.

Of course, it was not taking advantage of him for nothing. Capital injection was one aspect, and on the other hand, it was also various policy support, which was definitely a great help to Long Teng's development.

Although it was not said, in fact, in the past worlds, he was also this model, otherwise it would not be easy to do things. People who covet money, people with ulterior motives, all kinds of messy things were difficult to avoid. Then it was still the same sentence, the country is the embodiment of collective will, but the one who exercises power is an individual. The whole is good, but individuals have differences, which is also normal.

Not to mention his personal tendencies, these were unavoidable. It had nothing to do with the system, and it was the same when he went to the foreigner's side, and he had not mixed with that side. If he hadn't jumped left and right, used conspiracies, coercion and inducement, etc., it wouldn't be a simple matter, after all, it also involved his skin color. Of course, he also compromised, otherwise he couldn't have obtained those key aerospace technologies in the US.

As for the police force, although the Hong Kong government had been trying to disintegrate his control over the years, political means were useless. Even if they fostered and reached a high position, Chinese people did not dare to disobey Wang Yan's orders. In such a capitalist system, Long Teng was the largest capital in Hong Kong. They were still studying how to weaken Wang Yan, but although Wang Yan was in the police force, basically all disciplinary forces listened to him. Not to mention the infiltration of other departments, conspiracies were useless in the face of absolute strength.

And those Chinese who didn't want to obey had to consider whether they would have a heart attack. After all, not everyone had a clear understanding of themselves, and challenging authority was something to look forward to. So over the years, there were a few who had heart attacks in their prime.

Of course, they looked down on Wang Yan a bit. After all, for those who challenged or even provoked him, he had always been very tolerant. After all, the kid Yan Fu was still alive. The reason why those people had heart attacks was that they did something wrong.

And those rogue groups, Wang Yan did not strike too hard. After all, there were not a few gangsters, and it was not to say that there was no place for them to work, but they didn't want to do it. This required the transformation of rogue groups to absorb all those small rogues.

Although there was no excessive crackdown, for drugs, he still had that attitude, absolutely not letting go. Once discovered, it was fine for small rogues who were looking for partial doors, but if those societies with numbers were involved, they would be destroyed directly.

It was also because of this that drug trafficking activities were very difficult. After all, all entertainment venues in Hong Kong and Kowloon had rogue backgrounds, and they had to go to these places to scatter goods. Under Wang Yan's suppression, they didn't dare to ignore it. Once discovered, they caught the people themselves and sent them to the nearest police station. So this also led to the soaring drug market in Hong Kong. It was blood profit to be able to transport it in and sell it out. Those who wanted to make a fortune appeared from time to time. After all, the mainland's crackdown was so fierce, and such things happened from time to time, which could not be avoided, but it also scared away those who were timid.

In fact, when he was a rogue in Hong Kong, even if he vigorously banned drugs, he never completely banned them. There were always many people who wanted to make a fortune. However, at that time, he allowed direct killing, and even chased abroad to do them, and the means were too cruel.

Now he was a serious person, it was not easy to be so direct, and the resistance to promoting legislation was also very large. So he had to settle for the next best thing, and finally those drug traffickers died in prison...

Although the result was the same, death after the fact and death on the spot were still different, and the deterrent power was much worse.

And his position in the police force successfully became the real number one in 1985, when he was 56 years old. He was the number one for seven years, retired in 1992, and left the power center of the police force.

He was already the Commissioner, and as his iron-clad younger brother, Lei Luo naturally moved up, doing the Deputy Commissioner of Operations, and retired with him.

Lei Luo's life was basically lying down and winning. Of course, he did have ability, and he did things very simply, otherwise he wouldn't have reached that position. Even if he could exclude all opinions, he had to convince the public.

Retirement life was also not bad, Wang Yan couldn't be short of his money.

In terms of children, his few children were not bad. Only Xiao Bai joined the police force, the third and fourth children worked in Long Teng, and the only girl, the second, didn't like those, and didn't lack money, so she played well by herself. As for the final destination, it was a young Chinese painter with a small reputation whom she met while playing outside. Wang Yan also had people check the background, and there was no problem, so he was too lazy to manage much. As for the lifelong events of the three sons, they were basically the circle of classmates, and there was a little background in the family, which belonged to free love.

Although the woman might know that the three boys were his sons, the purpose was clear, but the three sons liked it, and he didn't pay attention, let them go.

It is worth mentioning that in 2001, Xiao Bai sat in the position of Commissioner of Police, which was considered the son taking over the father's class. This was also normal. It was not that Wang Yan was bragging. Even if Hong Kong returned, the police force was surnamed Wang. In another 20 years, when his grandson reached the age, he would also be the Commissioner of Police.

Although after the return, the fund subsidized by Long Teng for police officers was dissolved, the welfare provided by Long Teng for the police force had not changed. This was considered a hidden danger of the return, but considering that the Wang family were all patriots, and Long Teng had state-owned assets, that was it.

In 2012, Ah Xia had an illness. Although Wang Yan helped to recuperate, and had been eating Strengthening Pills before, human life had its end. On a night at the end of 2010, she did not wake up, at the age of 82.

After that, Lei Luo was depressed. In his life, everything went smoothly, and the woman who accompanied him for a lifetime died, and his spirit was gone. Every day he sat on the balcony, looking at the sea, missing his late wife.

Knowing his state, Wang Yan would occasionally find him out to stroll and relax, but sorrow is greater than heart death. Coupled with his old age, he had enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and without the person he loved by his side, he had no interest in life.

Lei Luo's body was getting worse day by day. This was something that Wang Yan, a master of medicine, could not cure, because it was Lei Luo's heart that died. What was reflected in the body was not a disease, but weakness. Originally, he could live for a few more years, but after such a toss, there was no cure.

June 15, 2015, at the entrance of Long Teng Hospital in Kowloon.

It was drizzling in the sky, a commercial vehicle stopped steadily at the door, the electric door in the back row opened slowly, a little old man got out of the car and stood at the door, reaching out to support, and then a slightly gray-haired, older-looking old man with a casual dress got out of the car easily, turned back to support the old lady with white hair but exquisite dress to get out of the car slowly.

The older old man was of course Wang Yan, the one dressed exquisitely was Miss Bai who wanted to maintain grace and elegance even when she was old, and the little old man was the eldest son Xiao Bai.

"Get out of the way, you look older than your father, just support your mother, I don't need it." Patting away the hand that Xiao Bai wanted to support, Wang Yan walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Dead old man." Miss Bai muttered, looking at Xiao Bai who was supporting her: "Son, what's wrong with your dad? His body is better than yours."

Xiao Bai smiled bitterly and explained: "Maybe my dad has high martial arts, good medical skills, and a way to keep in good health. Mom, look at you, aren't you also very good? Aunt Li and the others are younger than you, didn't they all leave?"

"That's true, it's all your dad's credit." Miss Bai stepped into the hospital, couldn't help but sigh: "Your Uncle Lei is also, sigh..."

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother Bai."

Outside a luxury single ward on the top floor of the inpatient department, seeing Wang Yan walking over with his hands behind his back with Bai Yuechang and his eldest son, Lei Luo's eldest son Lei Li, with several younger brothers and sisters, and a group of wives, grandchildren, etc., stepped forward to greet him.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Ah Li, how is the situation?"

He was one year older than Xiao Bai. Like the previous generation, Xiao Bai was the Commissioner, and Lei Li was the Deputy Commissioner of Operations. His eldest son was also in the police force, and they had all taken over.

"The situation is not good, I'm afraid it won't work." His own father was about to die, and Lei Li was very sad.

Wang Yan sighed, patted his shoulder, and walked into the ward.

Hearing the movement, the weak Lei Luo turned his head and looked at Wang Yan who walked in.

His dry lips cracked a silly smile as green as that year, and he called people with effort: "Brother Yan, Sister-in-law, Xiao Bai..."

Wang Yan stepped forward to hold his withered hand, sat on the small stool at the head of the bed, and did not forget to touch his pulse. No surprise, he was about to die.

He sighed again: "Okay, it's like this, what are you polite about. Rest well, maybe you can live for a while."

"Not living anymore, lived enough. More than two years, Ah Xia should be in a hurry..." Seeing Wang Yan silent, Lei Luo laughed: "Brother Yan, this is not like what you said."

"Then how should I say it?"

"You should persuade me to let go, lived a smooth life, enough capital..." Lei Luo squeezed Wang Yan's hand hard: "Brother Yan, you are also old..."

"Don't worry, I can still live for ten or eight years."

"Yes, Brother Yan, you can definitely live to be one hundred years old, it's just that I can't accompany you. I still remember when we first crossed the sea to Dongtou Village, at that time you helped us... Later we took the police exam together, you said..."

Lei Luo chattered about the bits and pieces of the two, of course, mixed with a lot of trivial life with Ah Xia.

Miss Bai was old, couldn't stand such memories, and left with tears.

Wang Yan sat there, occasionally adding a few sentences, and when it came to the happy part, he laughed out loud.

Lei Luo became happier as he spoke, his face was ruddy, and his voice became louder, as if he were a person who had nothing to do, so natural.

Just chattering through a lifetime, Lei Luo stopped, he looked at Wang Yan seriously: "Brother Yan, thank you. You be well, I'm leaving, leaving..."

Wang Yan reached out and stroked his white hair: "Be well with Ah Xia."

"Good... good... don't worry. Brother... Yan, do you see, Ah Xia is here, she came to find me, Ah Xia became young, the same as that year. Really... really good..."

Lei Luo slowly closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth parted, just like the shy boy who scratched his head awkwardly...

The machine monitoring the heartbeat on the side made a busy sound, as if he had always been called

Wang Yan let go of the hand he had been holding and had not let go, put his hand into the quilt, stood up without joy or anger, and walked out: "Miss Bai, let's go, go home and make soup for you."

Hearing the painful cry in the ward, Bai Yuechang looked at Wang Yan worriedly, sighed, supported by her eldest son, stepped forward, took his arm, and left the hospital together...

Wang Yan returned home, with the help of the nanny, really made a rich dinner, and ate dinner with the children and grandchildren who came back, without any sadness of an old friend leaving.

In the evening, the children left, and Miss Bai couldn't help but ask: "Hey, are you okay?"

"Ah Luo didn't die of illness, nor was he fixed by others, what can I have? Do you think I look like I have something?"

"Then you are neurotic, you didn't cook before, why did you make so much today?"

"Hands itchy, can't I? Really nothing, okay, you go to sleep quickly, I'll read for a while and then sleep."

"Disconnected." Miss Bai rolled her eyes, turned around and turned off the bedside lamp, closed her eyes and brewed sleepiness.

Feeling the breathing of the person beside him getting heavy, Wang Yan closed the book in his hand. Covered Miss Bai with the quilt, got out of bed and went to the living room.

Lit a cigarette, poured a glass of wine, and sat silently on the sofa.

Lei Luo left, the task was completed, and it was time for him to leave.

Just when he pulled out the panel to leave, a sound of footsteps rang out, and Miss Bai walked out in slippers: "I said you were not right, smoking and drinking in the middle of the night by yourself, are you afraid that I will laugh at you?"

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, Miss Bai was old, and it was normal for her sleep to be shallow. It was understandable that she found the old man was not by her side and came out to find him.

Putting away the panel, he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you will laugh at me? It's just that I suddenly wanted to smoke and drink."

"If I say you don't listen, you are so old, and you still smoke and drink. I know your body is good, but you can't be so reckless. Hurry up and pinch the cigarette, and pour the wine for me."

Wang Yan shook his head speechlessly: "You have the ability when you are old."

"Humph, it seems like I was afraid of you when I was young. Hurry up, go back to the room and sleep."

"Good, good, good, listen to you, listen to you."
