Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 545 Listen to Your Words
Zhou Dongsheng did not expect that despite all his precautions, he still got caught. Surfing on the cusp of the times brings high returns, but risks are also inevitable.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is not omniscient and omnipotent about the future. It is inevitable that one will get his feet wet if he walks by the river often.
This sudden incident poured a bucket of cold water on Zhou Dongsheng, who had been doing well recently, and made him more sober.
He had a lot of thoughts in his mind at once, but since it had happened, Zhou Dongsheng's priority was to resolve the crisis. At the same time, he couldn't help but think back to whether the original [Papi Jiang] had also suffered such an accident?
However, for a while, Zhou Dongsheng really couldn't remember it. But even if he made the worst plan, [Papi Jiang] would never recover from it and it would be her fault in his hands. Now Zhou Dongsheng could afford this loss.
Just treat it as a trial and error cost. The only person who feels sorry for it is probably Jiang Yilei himself...
Before Zhou Dongsheng could think about it, the phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, Zhou Dongsheng was slightly stunned. It turned out to be Duan Yongping, the old man calling.
Since they last met, Zhou Dongsheng hasn't had much contact except for paying New Year's greetings to the old man as a junior during the Chinese New Year.
After all, Mr. Duan is now financially independent and has been living abroad for a long time. Even his whereabouts are hard to guess, so Zhou Dongsheng subconsciously did not bother him any more.
Unexpectedly, even though Zhou Dongsheng didn't look for him, Mr. Duan actually came to him on his own initiative. This made Zhou Dongsheng excited. Why not ask for his advice?
If it was Mr. Duan, he might be able to find a way. After all, he might have eaten more salt than Zhou Dongsheng had eaten rice.
Zhou Dongsheng picked up the phone with a bright smile on his face. "Mr. Duan, how are you? Why did you think of calling me? It should be night in Lighthouse Country now, right?"
While speaking, Zhou Dongsheng also glanced at the sunlight outside. According to the time difference, it should be correct.
"I'm fine, but I'm old now, and I'm not as active as you. Since we last met, I've heard a lot about you..." Duan Yongping smiled heartily and said with a slightly sarcastic tone.
Zhou Dongsheng laughed. "What? My deeds have spread to the other side of the ocean? I am a little proud of what Mr. Duan said!"
"I'm still in China. I'm drinking tea with Lao Ding and chatting with you. I heard that you're also in Hangzhou..."
Now that things have come to this, Zhou Dongsheng naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, he had been planning to ask others for advice, so it would be best to meet and talk.
The reason why he was in Hangzhou was because Hangzhou and Shanghai were only a hundred miles apart. After the bidding was over, he came to Yinian Media by the way. Unexpectedly, he encountered this incident.
"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Zhou Dongsheng gladly accepted the invitation.
"Okay, let's meet and talk." Then he hung up the phone.
Zhou Dongsheng then explained to Xu Ruoan, "Don't worry, I'll think about it and deal with this matter later."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left, leaving Xu Ruoan disheveled in the wind. Shouldn't we find a way to resolve the public relations crisis in a hurry?
Could it be that... the boss means to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances?
…
Although this was not Zhou Dongsheng's first visit, he still had to notify the security guard and obtain permission before he could step into this quaint Chinese garden villa area again.
Although it does not have superficial splendor or astonishingly luxurious decoration, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if traditional Chinese gardens are really well-made, they will be truly low-key, luxurious and meaningful.
Zhou Dongsheng crossed the small bridge and came to Ding Sanshi's house with ease. At first glance, he saw Ding Sanshi and Duan Yongping chatting and laughing in the living room, looking very comfortable.
"Young friend, here you are. Please take a seat." Duan Yongping said with a smile and waved.
Ding Sanshi smiled and said teasingly, "I thought you would be quiet for a while after making trouble with the Golden Second Award. I didn't expect that it has only been a short time since the New Year and you have quietly made such a big fuss again..."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to cash in while the iron is hot, but I didn't expect to be hit by an iron fist. It was really beyond my expectations..."
Ding Sanshi and Duan Yongping smiled at each other, and Ding Sanshi teased, "You don't think this is specifically targeting you, do you?"
"You don't have the face to do that. It's just that you happened to run into the trap and were caught as an example."
Ding Sanshi's incisive words may not sound pleasant, but if you think about it, it makes sense.
Although Zhou Dongsheng was not naive enough to think that he would be deliberately taken care of by his superiors, the incident happened suddenly and he did not think it through.
Coming here, and having this straightforward conversation, Zhou Dongsheng immediately realized why these two people thought of looking for him.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng was a bachelor, so he clasped his fists and said frankly: "I am a dull boy, I hope you two brothers can teach me."
This pedantic remark actually made the two of them laugh out loud. Ding Sanshi made tea with a smile, while Duan Yongping on the side took over the conversation.
"You are doing what is hot in the capital market. This is indeed your ability. In the capital market, wealth is the chips on the table. The number of chips represents your strength."
"From the current perspective, you have indeed begun to show your influence, but when you step into the field of public opinion, it will be a completely different situation."
"Wealth tastes like honey, but in the public opinion field, too much wealth can sometimes turn into a disaster, catching people off guard."
Duan Yongping said calmly, and Zhou Dongsheng seemed to be thinking about something.
"Sometimes it's a good thing to show off your talents, but sometimes you also have to learn to keep a low profile. This is the principle that Mr. Duan taught me." Ding Sanshi also sighed.
"The position of the richest man is indeed not easy to hold." Ding Sanshi said meaningfully.
It is not easy to be the richest man. Although Zhou Dongsheng has never eaten pork, he has indeed seen pigs run.
Now that things have come to this, Zhou Dongsheng is not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he understood it and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
"I understand. I am indeed stupid. Before I came here, I was still thinking about how to deal with the problem, but I forgot that there are two living role models around me. If I just follow their example, wouldn't the problem be solved? I am so stupid!"
Ding Sanshi pointed at Zhou Dongsheng with his index finger, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are a quick learner, but you are not stupid at all. You even praised us both..."
Duan Yongping smiled and said, "My friend is also confused by the situation. After all, you can point out a clear path for Huang Zheng, so how could you not think of this?"
"The more you get, the more social responsibilities and obligations you need to bear."
Zhou Dongsheng nodded in understanding, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. I've learned a lot!"
Although what he said was ambiguous and seemed like a riddle, Zhou Dongsheng naturally figured it out based on his understanding of Ding Sanshi and Duan Lao.
Although it may sound cliché to say that the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility, it is actually true.
These are also the people who rank high on the rich list, and they are also at the top of the charity list.
When you reach a certain level and become a public figure, it means you need to set more examples.
And obviously, this is the problem encountered by [Papi Jiang]!
