Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 890
Before this, under the instruction of Zhou Dongsheng, Dongsheng Group had already fully integrated its resources and started to take actions to help farmers and alleviate poverty.
Whether it is the earliest Dongsheng Charity Fund, or Zhou Dongsheng’s bold statement to donate 200 million yuan in the name of all the viewers of "Wolf Warrior 2", or the agricultural assistance activities of the two major platforms Pinxixi and Douyin...
Public welfare actions like these have been going on all the time, but looking at the whole of China, it has to be said that they are still just a drop in the bucket.
Even if Zhou Dongsheng and others are not the only ones doing it, and there are many people who are doing good things silently, it still cannot change the fact that it is like "Yugong moving the mountains".
After all, the main theme of the world has always revolved around the word "interest", just like the old saying that has been passed down for thousands of years: "All the people in the world are seeking profit, and all the people in the world are seeking profit."
Despite this, throughout history, there have always been people in this world who have steadfastly chosen to be "Yugong", believing in a set of values that go against the mainstream and having beliefs that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Even though they are not understood by others, they can still persist on this path for decades. They do not seek material things, but have reached a spiritual height that is beyond the reach of others.
Even if there are only a very small number of such people, there is no doubt that it is a great fortune to have such people.
When Zhou Dongsheng really wanted to do something, he searched through the many public welfare deeds that the Dongsheng Charity Foundation had done before, and immediately found many such figures.
Among them, many are intellectuals. They clearly have the opportunity to embrace a better life, but they resolutely throw themselves into the mountains and support the world with their mortal bodies.
They have a common name, that is "rural teachers"!
The so-called rural teachers not only teach and educate, but often have multiple roles and play multiple roles. In short, they will find ways to solve anything that can be solved by knowledge.
If you have the conditions, you should go to school. If you don’t have the conditions, you should create the conditions to go to school!
This kind of noble spirit, even if only a glimpse of it could be seen between the lines, made Zhou Dongsheng feel a little ashamed of himself. He was really ashamed.
Even today, Zhou Dongsheng feels that it is difficult for him to reach such a lofty ideological realm, let alone absolutely selfless dedication.
However, this does not prevent Zhou Dongsheng from paying his respects. As the saying goes, "It is better to be humble as dust than to be twisted like a maggot."
Even if Zhou Dongsheng cannot be one of the shining stars of humanity, he will not slander or despise it.
It’s just that I used to “take care of myself when I’m poor”, but now it’s time for me to try to develop in the direction of “helping the world when I’m rich”.
When Zhou Dongsheng saw "rural teachers", a shining figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although it was once controversial, the results of its actions are facts that are obvious to all.
Most importantly, its achievements are judged by the country...
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng immediately had his first goal. Although he did not have such lofty ideals, since he wanted to become famous, he naturally had to catch the target with the greatest potential!
Coincidentally, if Zhou Dongsheng remembered correctly, this person's location was in the plateau mountainous area south of the colorful clouds.
When I first arrived, I was just a running errand boy in a stall in Chuncheng...
I didn’t expect that after going around in circles, I ended up back to the starting point?
I don’t know if this can be regarded as not forgetting the original intention. Zhou Dongsheng couldn’t help but smile knowingly. I wonder what it would feel like to revisit the old place again?
Zhou Dongsheng felt a sense of anticipation towards this, but according to the time calculation, Brother Bin’s family should have fallen into poverty, right?
This thought only flashed through Zhou Dongsheng's mind before he put it behind him. He just happened to think of his old friend. He was not a mean person who would take advantage of others' misfortune.
If it's just a simple revisit to the old place, it's still quite interesting, and I'll take a stroll there when the time comes...
After all, it has only been three or four years.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng no longer hesitated. He decided to do something meaningful while the year was coming to an end, and then go home to celebrate the New Year after finishing it!
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng immediately called Li Jiana and told her his idea.
"Let the Dongsheng Charity Foundation make some arrangements. Let's go to the mountainous area of Yunnan Province and do something meaningful..."
Although I don't know what my boss is up to on a whim, as the chairman's assistant, it is my duty to not refuse any of his requests.
"Okay, Chairman, I'll arrange it right away!" Then he went straight to coordinate the relevant matters.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't need to worry about these trivial matters. He then took out his mobile phone and checked the film critic account he had previously taken over. It has now been officially registered under the name of the "Dongsheng Charity Foundation", becoming a genuine public welfare account.
However, up to now, no relevant public welfare actions have been made public. After all, Zhou Dongsheng has not taken any action yet.
Now that even the box office share of "Wolf Warrior 2" has been received, it is time to fulfill one's promise.
If you don't practice what you say, your boasts will only come true if they are put to the test.
As for Principal Wang's birthday party, he could only be absent with reluctance. After all, Zhou Dongsheng's mind had already flown to the south of the colorful clouds...
At worst, I can apologize to Principal Wang and give him a gift that I have prepared in advance. After all, even if the person is not here, the gift should be there.
At Zhou Dongsheng's command, the relevant people naturally did not dare to delay. They immediately got ready and organized a team to rush to Chuncheng, Yunnan Province in batches.
As for Zhou Dongsheng, he brought Li Jiana and two bodyguards with him. In addition, Zhang Xiaoguang, the chief steward of Dongsheng Group, was also present. After all, he has always been in charge of the Dongsheng Charity Foundation.
As the vanguard, the group was the first to arrive in Chuncheng, Yunnan Province, located in the southwestern border of the motherland.
Although Chuncheng is known for its four seasons being like spring, it is now officially winter, so it will still be cold. After all, it snows in spring.
Especially in the plateau areas, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature difference in a day is often around ten to twenty degrees.
When the group first arrived in Chuncheng, it was already evening. The outdoor temperature was only about five or six degrees Celsius and the climate was dry, which was a bit warmer than the Magic City.
"This is my first time taking a flight in my life, and I departed from this airport. Let me take a rest tonight, and I will take you to have a look around tomorrow. This is where I, Zhou Dongsheng, made my fortune. To some extent, it is also the starting point of Dongsheng Group..."
Zhou Dongsheng said happily, rounding off, this can be considered as part of the corporate culture, right?
When his subordinates heard this, they couldn't help but feel curious. After all, in their minds, although Zhou Dongsheng was young, his achievements and status today had already surpassed most people, enough to make others far behind.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has always been promoted to the outside world as a grassroots entrepreneur who started from scratch, it is clear that no one, including them, has an accurate concept of this.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly had an idea and took the initiative to take them to uncover the answer.
"In that case, we will respectfully obey your command." Zhang Xiaoguang said seriously.
Afterwards, the group went to the hotel where they were staying to rest and recuperate, and no conversation took place that night.
The next morning, the group headed straight to Chuncheng International Trade City without even having breakfast.
When the group arrived outside the commercial city and got off the car, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion looking at this strange yet familiar place.
"I don't know if ? Let me show you around, I'm familiar with this place..." Zhou Dongsheng said to himself, and then led the group inside.
Zhou Dongsheng led the group straight to the textile area on the third floor, and directly to the destination, the doors of the two shops 1102-1103.
A strong sense of familiarity surged into his heart. Zhou Dongsheng only had a deep understanding of this strange yet familiar feeling at the beginning of his rebirth.
I didn't expect that after only three or four years, I would have a similar feeling when I returned to this old place.
"Hey, you know Zhou Dongsheng, right? He's the big boss who's very popular on the Internet now, with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars. He used to work in this store. I was not talented enough, and he even beat me up..."
Perhaps his memory was distorted. When Zhou Dongsheng came to this old place, he did not see Brother Bin who had sold the stall because his family had fallen into poverty. Instead, he saw an old acquaintance who was busy in the store early in the morning for the first time.
He even kept bragging to the customers. Zhou Dongsheng looked carefully and realized that this was Deng Bin's stupid brother Deng Rong.
Even Zhou Dongsheng was a little surprised. Is this still the Deng Rong he remembered? They are completely different.
Although his figure remains round, his spirit is completely renewed. It is not hard to tell from the fact that he has been busy in the store since early morning that there has indeed been a change...
Could it be that after being beaten up by myself, I really got some enlightenment?
Especially when Zhou Dongsheng heard that Deng Rong was not ashamed but proud of it, and used the fact that he was beaten up by him as a capital for bragging, he couldn't help laughing.
When a group of people walked into the store, Deng Rong took a quick look and thought that they were businessmen. He quickly walked up to them and said with a smile: "Take a look. These are our new spring and summer styles...Huh?"
"Zhou Dongsheng!" Deng Rong took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said, "Are you in charge of the business of this store now? Isn't Brother Bin here?"
After the surprise, Deng Rong realized something in an instant, and he immediately restrained himself a little. He said timidly: "My brother is now at home in charge of the factory. I am in charge of these two stores now..."
"Oh? Your business is getting bigger and bigger, that's great. I came here to do something and thought I'd stop by to reminisce. I hope I didn't disturb your business?"
Zhou Dongsheng was amazed, not knowing whether there was something wrong with his memory or some unspeakable influence that actually changed the original life trajectory of this family?
It seems that some things are indeed not static, and I am undoubtedly the most vivid example.
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. Our business is actually thanks to you. I heard that you came from us. You have brought us a lot of fame and customers, and our products are also selling better..."
"So my brother simply went home to run a factory and also started an e-commerce business online. The e-commerce income is the bulk of the income. In comparison, the stall here is just a small fraction. But since I have already bought it here, there is no need to resell it, so I just left it to me to take care of it..."
Deng Rong couldn't help but reveal a frank smile on his face, and explained the whole story in a few words.
Obviously, when they met again on the streets of Gu Town that year, the two brothers saw that Zhou Dongsheng had already started driving a Maserati, which had a profound impact on them.
After all, seeing that the younger brother who used to rely on him had quietly become rich and even left him behind, this kind of blow was still quite big...
Perhaps it was from that time that the mentality of the two brothers changed subtly...
Especially for Deng Rong, the beating Zhou Dongsheng gave him was the first time he had suffered such a big loss since he was a child. He had been dreaming about how to get his face back countless times in the middle of the night...
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng has transformed himself and is actually driving a Maserati!
This fact was really hard for him to accept, so he secretly made up his mind to do something to save his face!
But he didn't expect that he worked so hard that he couldn't even outshine Zhou Dongsheng. In just one or two years, the two of them had become people from two different worlds under the same roof.
And the gap was getting further and further. This experience undoubtedly had a profound impact on Deng Rong, otherwise it would not have changed the trajectory of his life.
It is not difficult to see from the fact that he can now talk about this past event with relief and is proud of it, that Deng Rong’s mental journey is indeed... hard to describe in words.
To some extent, isn’t this a potential manifestation of “when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit”?
Thinking of this, even Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Sure enough, the gears of fate are really amazing!
Although it is difficult to change one’s nature, the human heart is equally difficult to predict!
"Okay, very good. After I finish my work here, I will go home for the New Year. Come to my house for tea when you have time." Zhou Dongsheng patted Deng Rong on the shoulder with a bright smile.
It is a subtle but extremely satisfying feeling to be able to watch a bad person who dragged down his family in your memory turn over a new leaf and become a new person.
It even gave Zhou Dongsheng a much more wonderful feeling than simply making money. For a while, Zhou Dongsheng also had a different view on public welfare and helping farmers.
It seems that this simple act of helping others is not as difficult as one imagined?
"Okay! I will definitely go to pay New Year's greetings to Auntie during the Chinese New Year!" Deng Rong said with joy.
You have to know that Zhou Dongsheng's influence in Gu Town is already extraordinary, and the threshold is already unattainable.
Even if they were related, ordinary people would not dare to bother them easily, let alone Deng Rong, who had a rift with him before...
But now with Zhou Dongsheng's words, it is undoubtedly worth a fortune to Deng Rong. It is much more glorious than being beaten!
