Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 523: Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey
After buying New Year's goods, Zhou Dongsheng took his old mother back home. However, with the sudden increase in the flow of people in Gu Town, the number of cars with out-of-town license plates on the road also increased significantly.
According to incomplete statistics, the local population of Chaoshan area is approximately 17 million, while there are more than 30 million people scattered across the country and overseas.
The reason for this situation, in addition to special geographical factors, is that the famous "piglet trade" in modern history also played a certain role. Large-scale population outflow became the norm, and then they took root in the local area and spread out.
Zhou Dongsheng remembered that this period of history was told to him by his history teacher when he was in school. This also led to the situation that almost every household has one or two overseas Chinese relatives, or relatives who are doing well in other places.
The existence of these objective factors makes it easier for local people to leave their hometowns for development, and over time this has become the current norm.
As soon as Zhou Dongsheng stepped into society, he went to Chuncheng. He took exactly this path, under the pretext of following his relatives to see the world.
No matter how you do outside, you have to go home for the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, the city is empty and there are no more traffic jams, but the countryside is exceptionally crowded, and Guzhen, which is a township road, is no exception.
Zhou Dongsheng moved the car slowly while chatting with his old mother in the passenger seat. Although it was all gossip about family matters, Zhou Dongsheng listened with great interest.
"By the way, I heard that the business of the Deng Bin family in Chuncheng is not doing well, and they have decided to sell the shop and house and go back home to develop..."
"Nowadays, everyone is used to buying things online. The way of opening offline stores is obviously outdated. Son, you are a visionary. You came home early to engage in e-commerce..."
Speaking of this, Liu Huaiying was particularly proud and praised Zhou Dongsheng's performance highly.
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally well aware of this. Returning home to develop was just the beginning. With his good brother Deng Bin continuing to make trouble, the family 's downhill journey had just begun.
Obviously, even after being beaten up by himself, Deng Rong did not become enlightened and continued to make the same mistakes.
Of course Zhou Dongsheng had no intention of doing anything. It was difficult to persuade a damned person with kind words. Sometimes, changing someone's nature was as difficult as stopping a dog from eating shit.
So why do something that is thankless?
"Going home to develop is a good thing. By the way, Mom, how is the company going? Are you tired?" Zhou Dongsheng casually mentioned it and turned to ask about the company Wulikanhua.
After all, in a sense, this company can be regarded as the starting point of my career, but now it has more symbolic significance than practical significance.
"Being a boss is not tiring at all. I didn't expect that after working in a factory for most of my life, I still couldn't make it. Instead, I got addicted to being a boss at this age."
"Mom is really blessed by you." Liu Huaiying smiled from ear to ear, then seemed to think of something and continued.
"By the way, I asked a young person in the company to set up the Pinxixi platform you mentioned to me before. You know what, it's really popular. The goods sold on Pinxixi alone exceeded millions..."
Having said that, the smile on Liu Huaiying's face became even more intense, and his whole spirit seemed to be a lot younger.
If career is a gas station for men, then it is also a beauty salon for women.
"Of course. Your son has a good vision. If mom wants to take the company to the next level, she can focus on the Pinxixi platform in the next year..."
"By the way, your son still has shares in this platform. I'll ask their boss to open a backdoor for us, and sales will surely increase..."
Zhou Dongsheng happily teased his old mother.
Unexpectedly, the old mother was uncharacteristically serious and said, "That won't do. Since you have shares, you must set an example and not encourage this bad trend. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked, and the platform's atmosphere will be ruined. Sooner or later, this business will fail..."
Zhou Dongsheng was just joking. He didn't expect his mother to have such an opinion. He couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and said, "As expected of my mother, this is a very high level of ideological awareness. I, your son, have learned a lesson."
"You must remember this. Although your mother has worked in a factory for most of her life, many factories, big and small, in Gu Town have closed down due to this reason. You are still young..." Liu Huaiying started chattering out of habit.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't feel annoyed at all, and nodded happily. He casually scanned the streets and alleys outside, and just then he saw a shop with a lot of motorcycles parked outside the door.
The red facade was particularly eye-catching. Zhou Dongsheng glanced at the sign and his eyes lit up slightly. He saw four big characters "Wuyi Tribute Tea" written on it.
This shop, which is always packed with customers, is naturally one of the most famous milk tea shops in Gu Town in its early days. For young people and students in Gu Town, milk tea shops are the best choice for dating and chatting.
Zhou Dongsheng remembered that he was also one of them back then, but he didn't know since when he never set foot in this place again.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng was not sad at the moment. He was just looking at the milk tea shop and suddenly thought of several well-known milk tea brands that would sweep the country.
I wonder how these well-known milk tea brands are developing now, and whether there is still a possibility of investment? If you have the opportunity to participate, it may be a rare opportunity to make quick money.
The most important thing is that in the next few years, milk tea shops will play an important role offline, which can generate a lot of linkage with online. Even after linkage with some IPs, the effect produced is that 1+1 is greater than 2!
Compared with the changing circumstances on the Internet, offline physical stores always have unique advantages and are as critical as bridgeheads.
What's more, the prosperity of the Internet is ultimately built on reality, and the importance of the real industry is always irreplaceable.
After all, we still live in the real world, not the so-called "metaverse".
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng kept this matter in mind and then drove slowly back home.
The next few days passed quietly. Zhou Dongsheng relaxed at home and made jokes online from time to time.
As the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey is approaching, most people have entered their vacation period, and the Internet is also extremely lively. One piece of news has caused a lot of sensation .
As it is the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey, in the minds of most people, the most representative figure of the Year of the Monkey is naturally the Monkey King Sun Wukong.
As the most classic 1983 version of Journey to the West, it can be said that it runs through the childhood of several generations. On the point of who can represent the Monkey King Sun Wukong, these generations have reached an unprecedented consensus.
Therefore, the calls online for Liu Xiao Ling Tong to attend the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey are unprecedentedly high. For many viewers, the opening of the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey is enough for the Monkey King to shout "Here comes Old Sun."
Unfortunately, there is no Monkey King in the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey.
