"Time waits for no one," Wen Liang stood up and slowly walked to the bright floor-to-ceiling window. The city's tall buildings were lined up one after another, and countless pieces of glass reflected the afternoon sun back and forth. The pedestrians on the road were like hardworking worker ants, moving forward, striving, succeeding, or dying.
The higher the sky, the bigger the heart!
The young man showed a rare melancholy on his face, and whispered: "Teacher Fan, look at the land under your feet. It is prosperous today. Who would have thought that it was still a wasteland ten years ago? But today's prosperity is far less than its prosperity in the future. If we don't move faster, we will be left behind. Should we be a pioneer, leading and making rules, or be a follower, adapting and surviving under the established rules? The answer is actually very simple, isn't it?"
Fan Bo stood behind him, confused, "But Master Wen, don't you always emphasize that the first element of development is stability? Only by taking root can you grow higher. Isn't this... isn't this..."
"Contradictory? Right?" Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Fan, do you know what I am most dissatisfied with you for now?"
Fan Bo's spirits perked up. He really felt that Wen Liang was unfathomable and wanted to know what he still lacked in his eyes. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Please give me some advice, Master Wen!"
"I can't say I'm giving you any advice, I'm just sharing my opinion. You, your thinking is always too linear and one-dimensional, perhaps because you've been in school for too long. Teaching is teaching, studying is studying, and even being a ghostwriter to publish some articles and earn some royalties are all independent and unrelated things. But how to become an excellent strategic decision-maker, rather than just being a qualified tactical executor, the difference lies in whether you have the vision and mind to see the whole picture, to connect the lines into pieces, and then from pieces to surfaces, to understand every link, every barrier, and every part, so that you can become the person I hope you to be, and be able to take charge of things in the future..."
"When the reality of time forces us to develop quickly, but the laws of the enterprise require us to be stable, how should we resolve the contradiction when the two conflict? Your thinking is still at a single level, you have to choose one of the two, either this or that, give up one and choose the other. But have you ever thought about whether there is another possibility, which can perfectly resolve this contradiction without making a choice?"
Fan Bo seemed to understand a little, but there was still a layer of mist blocking his eyes. He was just a little bit away from stepping into the door. He asked anxiously, "What is it?"
Wen Liang pointed to the thick pile of information on the table and smiled without saying anything. Fan Bo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said, "Partial stability, overall speed-up?"
Wen Liang clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, whether it is soy milk, water plants, chemicals, media, health products or programmable computers, each company must move forward steadily step by step. But from the overall point of view, when they develop to a certain extent and their main businesses have intersections and overlaps, they can be reorganized and merged in a timely manner. In the final analysis, it is that sentence that we must have a long-term vision. For example, with the water treatment technology combined with the Xinxing Factory and the Qinghua Factory, it will also play a decisive role in the future of the Yishan Water Factory; with the Qinghe Soy Milk and Health Products Company, the food industry chain structure with the Yishan Water Factory as the core will be effectively supplemented; with the Phoenix Bird Culture Company, we can do a comprehensive packaging and promotion for other companies in terms of copywriting, advertising planning, marketing, etc.; as for the electronic equipment industry, if it was just to accumulate wealth, I could have stayed out of it, because the "water" market alone can make endless money, but the 1st century must be the century of electronic networks. Missing this event will inevitably leave many regrets in life... So you see, in the end, there are only two companies, one focusing on the traditional field and the other focusing on the high-tech field. If you walk on two legs, you don’t have to worry about falling! ”
Fan Bo was relaxed and happy, intoxicated by what he heard. When everyone only saw Wen Liang rushing around with a hammer here and an axe there, no one thought that he had already laid out a vast and magnificent industrial blueprint in his mind. The seemingly scattered investment plans and the seemingly messy diversified strategies were inextricably linked to each other. He always knew what he was doing, and in order to achieve this goal, he faced one difficulty after another and solved one problem after another. For such a person, every time you thought you could catch up with him, you found that it was just an illusion. Your toes were far from enough to touch his reflection behind him in the sun!
"Of course, ideals are full of hope, but reality is very bleak. Your concerns are not without reason," Wen Liang's eyebrows were filled with determination and resoluteness, and he said, "If we want to develop at the same time and move forward together, we need a huge amount of human, material and financial resources to support us, to be the source of our confidence and confidence, so there are many things we have to do..."
"But with the 400 million we made this time, it's enough to sustain us for a while." Wen Liang changed the subject and said with a smile, "Teacher Fan, you should also be prepared. After "China Can Say No" comes to an end, Phoenix Bird's work focus will shift to other aspects. I have other important uses for you..."
Fan Bo didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was doing very well in the capital now, and he was very proud of himself. He was sad for a moment when he heard the news. But under Wen Liang's cold eyes, he reacted instantly and agreed: "Everything is up to Master Wen's orders!"
Wen Liang received a call from Ning Xi after leaving Phoenix Bird and drove back to the courtyard. Xiangxieju opened today, but unlike ordinary businesses, they did not celebrate with drums and gongs and set off firecrackers. Instead, they prepared a self-service cocktail party and invited celebrities and noblewomen from Beijing and female elites from various industries to come and support them. When they arrived at the courtyard, various preparations were being carried out in an orderly manner. Baidu came to greet him and led him to the room in the backyard. Suddenly, she whispered, "Young Master Wen, are you going back to Qingzhou?"
"Well, let's go this afternoon!"
Duniang smiled and said, "No wonder Miss Zhu got so angry just now. It turns out it's true. Actually... if it's not urgent, you should stay and have some fun. After all, you have contributed a lot to this courtyard. As Miss Zhu told me in private, you have made great contributions."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Baidu, you never beat around the bush when talking to me before. What happened today?"
Baidu's pretty face flushed, she lowered her head slightly, and said: "I was too talkative..."
Wen Liang stopped and looked at her strangely, saying, "Just say what you want to say. Do I look like someone who won't listen to others? Why do you look so worried?"
After hesitating for a while, Baidu summoned up her courage and said what was in her mind in one breath, "Mr. Wen, you know me. I am not a talkative person, and I shouldn't say these words, but, but... Zixuan is really a good girl. She started this Xiangxieju just because she made a promise to you in Qingzhou. In fact, she herself is not that serious, but just to give me a place to stay and work. It was not until you came to the capital and gave her a lot of ideas that Zixuan really regarded this as her career, or rather, she regarded it as your career. From design to decoration, every plant, every tree, every flower and every fish has taken her a lot of effort. What I hear most on weekdays is that she will say smugly after a whole day of hard work, let that guy take a good look tomorrow, this girl is not a vegetarian... The day you moved out of here, she sat alone in the room for a long time. When she came out, her eyes were red, but she pretended that nothing happened, but how could she hide it from me..."
Wen Liang's face was calm, showing no emotion, but Du Niang had been in the world for a long time, and her ability to read people's expressions was much higher than that of ordinary people. Her breath was choked, and regret was hidden in her beautiful eyes, but when she thought of Zhu Zixuan's kindness to her, she finally gave up and said, "Young Master Wen, I, I don't mean any other meaning by saying this, but after all, we have been preparing for so long, and there is only one night left, can't you stay and share the joy of the opening of Xiangxieju with us?"
Wen Liang sighed secretly and said, "Baidu, do what you should do and help Miss Zhu run this club. I can't say you will be successful in the future, but at least you will have enough food and clothing. As for the rest, you are a smart person. This time I understand your heart and will not argue with you, but..."
He turned and walked away, saying, "Don't do it again next time!"
The room was very lively. Not only were Ning Xi and Lei Fang there, but Shui Qiangwei and her group were also there. In particular, there was the guy who had come to provoke Wen Liang by the lake in the park. He had to come because there was a project link that required him. Seeing Wen Liang bowing 90 degrees very obediently, he slapped himself twice and said, "Young Master Wen, please be magnanimous and just treat me as a fart!"
Ning Xi and Lei Fang knew about what happened that day, but they just treated it as a joke and didn't take it to heart. Zhu Zixuan also just found out about it. If it were any other day, she would have scolded Shui Qiangwei, but today she sneered and said, "Why apologize? She's so busy, I'm afraid she doesn't even have time to listen to your apology. Don't waste her time."
Lei Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Zixuan, Mr. Wen has something important to do. Isn't it the same to come here in the evening?"
"Yes, it's the same. Who is he? It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. It's better for him not to come now!"
Ever since Wen Liang took steps to solve Ning Xi's huge problem and walked out of Ning Huchen's place as if nothing had happened, his position in Lei Fang's mind has changed forever. He put on a stern face and said, "Don't mess around!"
Zhu Zixuan's face flushed, and she looked at Lei Fang angrily. Seeing that he didn't come to comfort her like he used to, she was heartbroken and almost cried out loud, saying, "Okay, you all bully me..."
Lei Fang actually loved her very much in his heart. He was at a loss for what to do and said to Ning Xi, "Sister Xi, please say something!"
Ning Xi sat on the sofa, flipping through a magazine nonchalantly. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the words and said, "The emperor is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? The real owner is here, why don't you say a few nice words quickly? Otherwise, our hostess of Xiangxieju will go to greet guests tonight with a pair of red and swollen eyes. How can the business be good?"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "It's good to be swollen. When it's swollen, it's called a toad's eye. Aren't toads supposed to bring wealth?"
Zhu Zixuan chuckled, grabbed the pillow and threw it over, saying, "You are the toad, no, you are the toad, a stinky, rotten toad!"
"It's good to laugh, it's festive when you laugh!"
Wen Liang took the pillow and casually handed it to Shui Qiangwei. Shui Qiangwei also took it casually for some reason, with a natural attitude as if they were a master and a maid. Zhu Zixuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Qiangwei, you are a servant, why are you taking it!"
Shui Qiangwei finally reacted and hurriedly threw the pillow to the ground. She stomped her feet twice and said, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Who told you to give it to me
Ning Xi threw the magazine away, stood up, and said, "Okay, isn't it sunny now? Let's go out and see how the preparations are going. Wen Liang, wait until Zixuan calms down before coming out to see us."
Lei Fang patted Wen Liang's shoulder and whispered, "Zixuan has a bad temper, please forgive me, I will treat you to a meal and apologize to you on her behalf some other day."
After everyone left, Wen Liang could only secretly raise his middle finger at their disloyalty and said to Zhu Zixuan sincerely: "Miss Zhu, I have to rush back to Qingzhou tonight. This is the trip I booked a few days ago. At that time, I didn't know that Xiangxieju would open today, so I have to ask for your forgiveness. To be honest, I am really proud of you to see Xiangxieju gradually become the beautiful place it is today. Congratulations!"
Zhu Zixuan seemed to have matured a lot in an instant. She turned her back to Wen Liang, looked at the scenery outside through the window, and a look of pride flashed in her eyes. This was the first time in her life that she had done something so attentively, but when she succeeded, for some reason, she did not feel much joy!
"Wen Liang, I want to ask you something, can you tell me?"
Wen Liang looked at her back, guessed what she was going to ask, but still nodded and said, "Go ahead!"
"... You and Sister Xi... Was what I saw that morning real?"
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, Ning Xi and I have been together since we were in Qingzhou! But I hope you can keep this a secret, Miss Zhu..."
Zhu Zixuan turned his back to Wen Liang and said softly, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. Who wouldn't like a girl like Sister Xi? Wen Liang, love her well, I... bless you!"
It was not until Wen Liang left the room for a long time that two lines of tears fell from Zhu Zixuan's cheeks. She was really happy for Ning Xi, but she didn't know why she was crying.
Because it wanted to flow, it flowed!
That's right, it must be! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued)
