After briefly discussing the supply and demand of the bodyguard market with Ye Zanghua, Xiao Zheng changed the subject.
He didn't want to discuss work during the New Year, which would be more uncomfortable than watching reruns of the Spring Festival Gala.
Ye Zanghua just mentioned it casually, Xiao Zheng nodded, and he went to make arrangements. Don’t bother too much with the details. Anyway, Shen Manjun already has a well-established security company there. What is needed now is just the Ye family's connections.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zheng stood up and said, "I'm going to see Mr. Ye." After that, he went upstairs.
But as soon as he stood up, Ye Zanghua's expression changed slightly, as if he was about to say something, but he finally held back.
Lao Ye started talking about work issues as soon as Xiao Zheng entered the room, which was actually distracting him.
It also focused his attention. The purpose was to prevent him from thinking about Mr. Ye.
But every time Xiao Zheng came to Ye Gongguan, he would chat with Ye Gong for a while. How could he forget it because of Ye Zanghua's gag
Mr. Ye was drinking tea in the study as usual. It just changed from the upright sitting posture to leaning on a chair. His energetic face was also slightly sallow. Apparently he was in low spirits.
"Mr. Ye." Xiao Zheng came into the room and greeted him, then sat next to him.
Ye Gong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Why don't you join everyone downstairs?"
"Maybe I've been with Huayin for a long time. I also like peace and quiet a little bit." Xiao Zheng smiled, casually helped Ye Gong refill his tea, and asked with concern. "Mr. Ye, how is your mental state recently?"
Ye Gong smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely wait for you and Huayin's child to be born."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart felt a little sour.
Perhaps because he didn't want the atmosphere to be so low, Mr. Ye smiled and said with a smile: "I heard that you have had several dealings with the Hu family recently?"
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Yeah."
"The Yuchi family has lost someone this time. Even if the Hu family apologizes, this thorn will definitely not be removed." Ye Gong said clearly. "So Azheng, even if you have no leverage in the hands of others, you must be careful in your words and deeds and don't give others opportunities."
Even though Ye Gong was in such poor health, he still paid close attention to Xiao Zheng's every move. This moved him very much, and he said softly: "Don't worry, I do things in a measured way."
"Well, I'm not worried about you," Ye Gong smiled and said slowly. "If you can get to where you are now step by step, you must have your own way. Although I have some experience, most of it is old-fashioned experience. I don't know if I can keep up with the trend."
After a pause, Mr. Ye took out his cigarette case and slowly lit one. Xiao Zheng originally wanted to dissuade him, but Mr. Ye's illness was not something he could do without smoking just one cigarette. In this case, why not let the old man finish this last journey happily
"Azheng. I'm not afraid that you will dislike me for being such a meddlesome old man." Ye Gong puffed out a puff of thick smoke and said slowly. "While my brain is still functional and I'm not an old fool, I want to give you some final words. As for you, just pick up some useful ones and listen to the rest, and just chat with me about the other useless ones."
Xiao Zheng was sitting upright, looking at Mr. Ye piously.
This old man gave me some life lessons when he met me for the first time. It will not make Xiao Zheng find it difficult to accept,
There was no intention of forcing him to study. It was completely in the way of conversation to tell Xiao Zheng the diversity of the world.
If it is said that Lao Lin influenced Xiao Zheng in some details. Then Ye Gong's influence on Xiao Zheng is macroscopic. It can be used for a lifetime.
"Politics, economy, war." Ye Gong stretched out three fingers. "Everyone can understand the individual meanings of these three words. But if you want to connect them, you may not be able to understand them thoroughly. In the end, I am just a businessman, and my understanding of them is not deep. But That sort of sums it up.”
"Someone has said that war is a continuation of politics. This makes sense. Simply put, if it can be resolved through political negotiations, no politician will go to war. War is often a backup plan after politicians cannot reach an agreement. .”
"From ancient times to the present, all generals and marshals know one thing very well. In war, what you fight is supplies, and what you fight is materials. In short, it is wealth."
"Politics has little to do with the common people. At most, it is something to talk about after dinner. War is the devil that the common people resist. No one wants to be under fire if it is not necessary."
"What about the economy?"
"The economy is closely related to every citizen. When the country's economy is good, citizens benefit. However, during the financial crisis, citizens also have a hard time."
"Being a businessman who can change the economic model and even the system is every businessman's dream." Ye Gong said slowly.
"China is not a capitalist country. The social system looks simpler, but is actually more complex. But whether it is China or any country in the world, interests always come first. Interests can be money or the economy, It can be an official position."
"Looking at every war in human history, which one can be distinguished from interests?"
"So" Mr. Ye looked straight at Xiao Zheng and said slowly. “When you have the energy to change something, you are completely invincible.”
"Azheng, do you understand what I'm saying?" Ye Gong asked seriously.
Xiao Zheng nodded, pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Ye. I have a doubt."
"Huh?" Ye Gong looked at Xiao Zheng.
"Have you ever owned something that made you invincible?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
When Ye Gong heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No."
"Then I'll try my best." Xiao Zheng smiled and said it without any momentum.
Mr. Ye nodded happily and lit a second cigarette: "You have a natural acumen in the political arena. To be honest, I even doubt that if you can embark on an official career, what height will you reach?"
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "The official can't drive a good car, can't wear gold and silver, can't show off. And he will be reported at any time. This is not in line with my way of life."
Ye Gong said with a smile: "Then become an unprecedented businessman."
Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and his mood gradually became brighter.
He knew that Mr. Ye's conversation today was mainly aimed at the Hu family and the Yuchi family. Or maybe it's a prominent political family like this.
Ye Gong's worry was that Xiao Zheng was unable to escape from this political storm. So I reminded him and gave him a good attitude to face it.
Xiao Zheng kept in mind what Mr. Ye said today. If one day in the future, he can really reach the height that Ye Gong expected. He will tell Mr. Ye personally.
This kind and tolerant elder.
