Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 96 Happy New Year to Everyone
After the A-share index went through seven consecutive increases, it stayed at 3246 points after the close of February 17.
Then, the Chinese land ushered in the scene that the Western media and Western economists loved to see: factories stopped production, shops closed, stock markets could not trade, the economy came to a large-scale standstill, and a full-scale depression was ushered in.
A large number of city dwellers fled back to the countryside, the cities became empty, and there were few vehicles on the streets. A large number of people were eager to exchange currency for food and hoard it at home. Every household posted slogans at their doors to express their demands.
What shocked the Western media was that the streets were filled with the smell of gunpowder and smoke from explosives. Most people were doing nothing, drinking heavily or gambling in groups every day.
That’s right, it’s New Year’s Eve.
Whether you have money or not, you can go home for the New Year. No matter how important the matter is at this moment, you have to wait until after the New Year.
This was Zhou Dongsheng’s first Spring Festival since his rebirth, and it was also the most leisurely New Year he had ever celebrated in his two lifetimes combined.
After all, if you are rich, you won't panic.
As Zhou Dongsheng's affairs gradually spread at home, his mobile phone kept receiving various messages in the past two days. Even Qiu Zijian, who had not been in contact for a long time, came to try to get in touch with him.
Qiu Zijian: Brother Sheng is awesome! I heard that you have made a fortune and drive a Maserati. Why don't you take me in?
Although in Qiu Zijian's memory, the two were just colleagues who had not seen each other for half a year, but to Zhou Dongsheng they had long been insignificant bystanders.
Moreover, Zhou Dongsheng had no interest in educating troubled teenagers and just said a few perfunctory words and let the matter go.
As many classmates returned, the class group became lively, and the successful entrepreneurship of Zhang Xuhui and Zhou Dongsheng became a hot topic of discussion.
"Why didn't I realize when I was in school that Zhou Dongsheng and Zhang Xuhui were so business-minded?"
"I'm still asking my family for living expenses, but they both bought cars. The gap is really huge."
"Comparing yourself to others can make you angry. Let's not talk about these frustrating things during the New Year..."
Many classmates are still clamoring to get together and hold a class reunion or something, and the current class group has not completely died out.
After another two years, when everyone has entered society and is busy with their work, the classmates group will be in name only.
In addition to the classmates group, Zhou Dongsheng also received a lot of New Year greetings messages. It felt like his phone had never been so busy in his two lifetimes.
Su Qian: Boss, Happy Chinese New Year! I finally have someone to celebrate the New Year with. {Beautiful woman holding a cat.jpg}
Lin Kaixin: Boss, Wanzi and I wish you a happy new year. {Cute kids wish you a happy new year video}
In addition, people like Liu, Curly Baboon, Bao Xiang and Han Jinglong also sent New Year greetings messages to convey their wishes to Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, in their opinion, the reason why they could have a good year this year was all thanks to the "support" of their boss Zhou Dongsheng, so they should thank him.
Zhou Dongsheng could only smile and say nothing about this, replying to the messages casually. At the same time, he also did not forget to send a message to wish everyone a happy new year in the small group of Principal Wang and others.
As the sun set and New Year's Eve arrived, Zhou Dongsheng also took a Chaoshan-style bath.
In the Chaoshan area, the sense of ritual of the Spring Festival basically comes from the "Twelve Color Flowers".
The so-called twelve-color flowers are made by randomly collecting twelve kinds of plants, wrapping them in red paper and soaking them in water to form twelve-color flower water, which is basically equivalent to holy water baptism in the Chaoshan area.
In addition to being able to ward off evil spirits, it also has many magical effects and is simply a panacea.
In addition, during the New Year’s Eve dinner, people worship the “God of Grains” and pray for a good harvest and good luck in the coming year.
For Chaoshan people, there are probably two things that they cannot avoid in their life: drinking tea and worshiping gods.
Although this year the mother and son still had the New Year's Eve dinner together, their life has indeed improved as they enjoyed a sumptuous seafood feast in the new house.
"Mom, I wish you a happy new year! (Auspicious)"
"Then mom wishes you prosperity in the New Year. Marry a wife soon so that our home can be more lively." Liu Huaiying smiled so hard that his wrinkles appeared.
"It might be a little difficult for my wife, but if my mom wants to have some fun, I can bring back ten or eight girlfriends!" Zhou Dongsheng joked with a grin.
"That's fine, as long as you can bring her back and my mother will accept her. Having more people can keep me company." Liu Huai spoke in amazing English and said easily.
"Then your son should work hard in the new year."
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhou Dongsheng cherished this rare opportunity to accompany his family and watched the Spring Festival Gala at home.
At the beginning of the 2015 Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Dongsheng saw a familiar face among the hosts, who was also called Grandpa.
Zhou Dongsheng guessed that it seemed to be after this Spring Festival Gala, because the video of the party was leaked, causing an uproar on social media.
This Spring Festival Gala became the swan song of my grandfather’s hosting career.
The evoked memory also made Zhou Dongsheng watch the Spring Festival Gala with greater interest, to see if there were any familiar faces that he had not remembered.
Maybe there are some business opportunities that you have forgotten?
When he saw the skit segment, the appearance of a beautiful and charming female comedy actress also made Zhou Dongsheng's eyes light up.
Jia Ling is great. Like Wu Jing, he has created box office miracles. He is also a good project suitable for investment with the potential to make a big profit with a small investment.
In addition to Jia Ling, the following sketch also allowed Zhou Dongsheng to see a male star who had been the school idol of the PLA Art Academy.
After failing to make a living by relying on his looks, Shen Teng, a man who had no choice but to take the comedic route, went further and further and created many famous comedy scenes .
However, Zhou Dongsheng checked the information and found that the masterpiece movie had started shooting as early as last year, and the script was a stage play that had been polished for several years.
So even though Zhou Dongsheng knew that this work had a high return rate, it was too late to get on board now.
Zhou Dongsheng had nothing to regret about this. It was impossible for him to take all the opportunities by himself.
Even rebirth would not be able to do it. One can only scoop out one scoop at a time from the three thousand weak waters.
In a subsequent martial arts performance, Zhou Dongsheng also saw Wu Jing's righteous face, and this opportunity was definitely not to be missed.
After I make some money from the stock market, I can think of ways to invest in this guy...
Zhou Dongsheng treated the Spring Festival Gala as a party for looking for business opportunities. Liu Huaiying yawned and went to sleep after watching the Gala for a while. It turned out that the hypnotic effect of the Spring Festival Gala was still stable.
Zhou Dongsheng picked up his phone out of boredom and took a look. There were a lot more New Year greetings messages.
Zhang Xuhui: Brother Sheng, Happy Chinese New Year, do you want to come out and play?
Zhang Yanyan: Happy Chinese New Year, old classmate. Are you going to the class reunion?
At the same time, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala on TV began. With the end of the countdown, it also meant the beginning of the 2015 Lunar New Year.
"Unforgettable Tonight" also sounded, and the sound of fireworks was heard outside. Zhou Dongsheng stretched and silently said to himself , "Happy New Year."
For Zhou Dongsheng, the 2015 Spring Festival was celebrated again with great significance.
