Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 638
"Yes and no. When we first noticed you, we did consider this aspect." Old Wang sat in the main seat and said slowly.
"After all, as a parent, I always think more, especially since Xiao Zhou's background is too clean, so clean that it makes people suspicious, not to mention your leapfrog growth speed..."
"Such a person suddenly appeared beside my son, and his entrepreneurial path was very clear-cut, which seemed to be a good thing for him..."
As Lao Wang continued to tell his story, if it weren't for the other party's identity, Zhou Dongsheng would have felt that the other party was a conspiracy theorist.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Lao Wang stretched out his hand to suppress him, indicating that he should listen to him slowly. Obviously, since he could talk so frankly with Zhou Dongsheng, the so-called "suspicion" should have been ruled out long ago.
"Xiao Zhou, don't blame me for thinking too much. In our position, some things may be far away from you, but they are very close to us. Sometimes a careless choice may lead to eternal damnation..."
"This is also the main reason why, after careful consideration, I decided to bring my son back to China for development."
Lao Wang's words seemed to make sense, but they made Zhou Dongsheng feel a chill in his heart, as if he felt an indescribable force above his head that brought a substantial sense of oppression, which made him imagine a lot.
Although Lao Wang chose to be a riddler, Zhou Dongsheng knew very well that when one reaches the same height in life as the former, the life choices one faces may sometimes be simpler and clearer than one imagines.
It's just a question of stance.
Principal Wang, who was standing by, was initially dissatisfied and wanted to question it out loud, but as his father analyzed it, he couldn't help but think about it a little bit along his father's line of thought. It is indeed easy for people to make unnecessary associations.
Especially the establishment of Xiaorenren Media, using Liu as a springboard to recruit himself, and rising rapidly at an astonishing speed. Although from the perspective of the biological father, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that he came for Principal Wang and catered to his preferences...
But it wouldn't take much effort to investigate it if you spend a little time on it, especially for the person at the helm of a giant like Yida, it would be a piece of cake.
Having said that, although nothing earth-shattering was said, judging from the results, since Zhou Dongsheng has already appeared here, there is no problem at all.
At this time, Principal Wang said carelessly: "Is there another reason why you asked me to return to China? I thought you wanted to train me to be your successor."
Although he was still a little dissatisfied with his own father interfering in his social interactions, there were outsiders around after all, so there was no need to make the conflict between father and son clear.
Principal Wang is well aware of this.
"I do have this idea, but unfortunately you are not happy about it. So I can only let you do as you please. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Old Wang said with a kind look on his face and a nonchalant smile.
Then he turned to look at Zhou Dongsheng and said with a little emotion: "Over the years, as Yida has continued to grow and develop, I have seen many talents, but there are still very few people as special as Xiao Zhou."
Facing Lao Wang's eyes full of life experience, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but have an idea in his heart: if such a person could live his life again like himself...
What heights of life will you reach?
However, looking back on his life, it has already been a magnificent piece of music of the times. Now that he has achieved success and fame, it must not be a difficult thing for him to be named in history.
I've been so successful in this life, wouldn't it be too much of an insult to live it again? It's better to give the spot to common people like us.
The thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhou Dongsheng remained neither humble nor arrogant, and habitually used the same excuse: "There is nothing special about this kid, he is just lucky."
Principal Wang on the side lay down on the sofa in annoyance. This familiar smell made the boy feel it again.
Lao Wang did not refute this, but continued to say meaningfully: "Sometimes, luck is even more important than personal ability in determining a person's success. I feel this deeply..."
"Yida can be what it is today thanks to the favor of the opportunities of the times. If you ask me, I think my luck is greater than my strength, haha..." Lao Wang laughed.
Then he changed the subject, "This is just what an old man like me would say. It's a good thing for a young person like you to know how to hide your edge, but sometimes you should show your edge and stop hiding it."
"People say that young people are full of vigor. But if they are not full of vigor, can they be called young people?" Lao Wang said casually as if he was chatting about family matters.
"Thank you for your advice, uncle. But I have nothing worth showing off. If I show off my talents in front of you, wouldn't that be like showing off my skills in front of an expert?" Zhou Dongsheng said modestly.
"Who said that? You are much better than I was when you were able to achieve such success at your age. My age is already a fixed number, but your future is unknown..."
"There are always talented people in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years. The future always belongs to you young people."
Zhou Dongsheng benefited greatly from Lao Wang's inspirational words, but he was still a little confused.
Could it be that you just called me here to drink chicken soup? Although this Shoufu brand chicken soup is a big gimmick, it still cannot change the essence of chicken soup that is just for show.
For the realistic Zhou Dongsheng, that is not as practical as some solid stuff.
"No, no, we don't know what the future holds, but without the hard work of our predecessors, there would be no chance for us, the descendants. At best, we can only be regarded as dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants."
Isn't it just a fancy sedan chair with people carrying people? Zhou Dongsheng is very good at this trick. If we really want to talk about something practical, Zhou Dongsheng may not be able to grasp it...
But if you play these empty tricks, I'm sorry, Zhou Dongsheng is a professional in this hands-off approach.
"Hey, take a break and eat first. You old man, you talk too much when you get older. If you're not hungry, others will be."
At this time, the hostess stepped out to smooth things over, interrupting this meeting which had left Zhou Dongsheng somewhat confused.
"Okay, okay, sorry to bother you, Xiao Zhou. Let's have a home-cooked meal together and chat while we eat." Old Wang greeted him in a casual manner, like an elder with no airs.
The guest should follow the host's wishes. Zhou Dongsheng responded and followed Principal Wang to the restaurant.
When he glanced at the dishes on the table, although he had been told in advance that they were home-cooked meals, they were still a little beyond Zhou Dongsheng's expectations.
It wasn't any rare fish or meat, nor was it a full-course banquet. It was just an ordinary homely meal.
Zhou Dongsheng even saw a plate of dumplings and chive dumplings, which are common northern dishes.
This simple style made Zhou Dongsheng seem to see Zhao Dehan in "In the Name of People". The feeling was somewhat similar.
Although it has not reached the point where "the emperor uses a golden hoe to hoe the land", there is indeed no need to really hoe the land.
Although he was a little surprised, Zhou Dongsheng still sat down calmly. No matter what the man was up to, he would not put drugs in the food.
"As I get older, I understand more and more that illness comes from what we eat. I have to be careful about my diet and daily life. I can't be so casual like you young people..."
"After trying so many dishes, I finally feel that home-cooked meals are most to my taste. I wonder if Xiao Zhou can get used to them..." Old Wang greeted him in a very casual manner.
"Hey, uncle, you're joking. I have been picky about everything since I was a child, except food. As long as I can fill my stomach, it's fine." Zhou Dongsheng said very frankly.
"It's better not to be picky about food. These are all grown at home. They are green and healthy. Eat more ..." Old Wang said calmly.
If ordinary people said this "grown at home", it would obviously mean the literal meaning. However, when Lao Wang said it, after a little consideration in his heart, a breath of inhumanity immediately came to his face.
It is true that even a huge fortune cannot cover three meals a day. Zhou Dongsheng was really enlightened by the bosses' attention to healthy diet.
Ding Sanshi raised pigs in the past and Yida farmed in the future. It turns out that the pursuit of fine food is an obsession deeply rooted in the hearts of our nation.
Our journey is to the sea of stars, and at the end of the sea of stars is farming.
Is this the pattern of the big guys? Perhaps this is the highest level of showing off wealth.
The imagined upper class: taking a private jet to France to eat a top-notch French meal that requires a queue of half a year to make a reservation.
In reality, the upper class: The big guys are no longer satisfied with delicacies from all over the world, but choose to cultivate them from the source, spending huge sums of money to cultivate home-cooked meals that best suit their tastes.
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng truly understood the true meaning of "plain and boring".
Apart from that, after this unremarkable meal, Zhou Dongsheng could no longer guess what today's meeting was about, and he had no idea what Lao Wang was thinking.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng simply stopped thinking about the things he couldn't figure out. After letting go of the psychological burden, he became more and more at ease. After the meal, both the host and the guests enjoyed it very much.
Although everyone was talking about trivial family topics during the meal, the atmosphere was extremely happy. If you put aside their identities, this was indeed a normal home-cooked meal.
But after eating and drinking, Lao Wang wiped his mouth and said slowly: "How is it? Are you used to eating this northern food?"
"It has a unique flavor." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile. Although he didn't know the value of this table of food specially provided by Yida, the taste was indeed quite to Zhou Dongsheng's liking.
In addition, wild boars cannot eat fine bran, and Zhou Dongsheng is not a gourmet, so he has not achieved any high-end reputation with his food.
"Dad, you went through so much trouble today, it's impossible that you just want to treat Dongsheng to this meal, right? If you have something to say, just say it."
Zhou Dongsheng was still able to control his temper, but he felt that he could not figure out Lao Wang's thoughts.
But Principal Wang obviously couldn't hold back any longer. Although he didn't know what his father was up to, it was obvious that it couldn't be just a lot of noise with little results after all the trouble he had gone through...
So, just break through this layer of window paper directly.
Old Wang looked at his son, then at Zhou Dongsheng, who was not easily affected by fame or criticism, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Zhou isn't anxious yet, why are you so anxious?" There seemed to be some sense of disappointment in his tone.
This impatient character, it seems that he needs more experience and more losses before he can become the successor. This performance is far from enough...
On the contrary, the performance of the young man Zhou Dongsheng in all aspects was indeed remarkable after watching him that night, which made Old Wang nod his head secretly. He was indeed a rare talent.
This actually further strengthened Lao Wang's inner thoughts.
"Who told you to keep it a secret..." Principal Wang couldn't help but mutter in dismay. Judging from his father's behavior, it seemed that he had done something wrong.
"To be honest, I have been thinking about it in my mind, but I really haven't figured it out. If uncle has anything to say, you might as well tell me directly and help me solve my doubts."
Since Principal Wang had already made it clear, Zhou Dongsheng simply followed the conversation and expressed his own thoughts.
"We're almost done with dinner . Let's move to the living room and continue our chat." Lao Wang didn't respond but waved his hand.
Several people returned to the living room and sat down. Compared the unfamiliarity when they first arrived, the unfamiliarity was lessened a little after they had dinner at the same table.
As the aroma of tea filled the air and the tea went into his stomach, Lao Wang finally spoke slowly.
"After reading your life resume, Xiao Zhou, I can't help but sigh that if such a resume is not deliberate, then you must be a natural talent."
"Especially after you were appreciated by Duan Yongping, I became more certain of my guess that Duan Yongping has been keen on playing in the capital market since he retired behind the scenes."
"Unlike me who works in industry, I can't hide it even if I want to. The amount of Lao Duan's wealth has always been a mystery..."
"What people talk about most about Lao Duan is not his capital methods, but his investment in talents..."
"Among them, the reason why BBK Group is so strong today is entirely due to the talent foundation laid by Lao Duan back then."
Lao Wang said this with a hint of emotion, and there seemed to be a hint of heroes appreciating heroes in his words.
Then he couldn't help but look at Zhou Dongsheng and continued.
"And Xiao Zhou, you are another talent that Old Duan is optimistic about...so I want to discuss an investment with you."
Lao Wang said this with a smile, but Zhou Dongsheng caught a hint of something unusual and asked subconsciously.
"What investment?"
"Yida wants to set up a new strategic investment department, but it is currently short of manpower. I wonder if you are interested in this project?"
Lao Wang said this in a shocking way.
