43. Business Redemption
The old monk looked at Gu Yi and said with a serious expression: "Immortality, as a wish, has its great significance. In order to prevent the world from withdrawing from training early, Tian deliberately injected people with a strong desire to survive. Only when we have the desire to survive and look forward to eternal life in the mortal world can human beings accept the experience of all kinds of tribulations in this world with peace of mind. As the saying goes, it's better to die than to be lazy. However, this is not inherent in the human soul. It is just a law of survival given to people by the way of heaven. ”
He stood up and said slowly: "Confucius has clouds, fifty knows the destiny of heaven, sixty ears are obedient, and seventy follow the heart." The law of training in life is no longer than a hundred years, and after a hundred years, people will see through the red dust, know that it is useless to live longer, and even feel miserable. No one over 100 years old expects eternal life. This is also the reason why there are very few people over 100 years old. ”
The old monk glanced back at Gu Yi, and then said: "A hundred years like this, what about a thousand years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years? When a person is really immortal in this world, it is not happiness, but an incomparably painful torture and torment. Death means the end, and eternal life means a cage. If you keep repeating a single pain, you will never have the freedom to wake up. How would Your Highness feel about such an eternal life?"
Gu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although these people are hateful, they are self-inflicted, and punishment is necessary. But, after all, it's not a big sin. Skipping school. The pain of infinite reincarnation should indeed have a head after all, and it cannot be imprisoned forever. If they can't get relief, these people will be a hundred times more desperate than the remnants on Zhongnan Mountain. There is always a chance for the remnants to come out, and these people have actually been trapped in this infinite loop game by their own stupidity.
Is it any wonder that some people think of jumping off a cliff to get rid of it?
The old monk looked at Gu Yi seriously and asked, "Your Highness, do you really not plan to save these people?"
Gu Yi knew that this was a serious topic. Perhaps, his thoughts may determine the fate of this group of people. He now understands that it's not just about his identity, it's because of the dzi. Without him to drive the dzi, these people would never be able to return to meet the body, and the soul would not be able to enter the body. The soulless body is actually devouring the soul of the body. No wonder the old monk and Tang Feng must pull him into the gang.
Gu Yi also asked solemnly: "How many people are in this group, and how long have they survived?"
The old monk knew what Gu Yi thought, and of course he would not force it on him, explaining: "The people in this valley are all imprisoned for more than 5,000 years. There were about two thousand people. Those who are less than 5,000 years old are still reincarnated in the world. Your Highness, do you think that's good?"
The punishment of five thousand years is obviously a bit heavy, Gu Yi originally thought that two thousand years would be enough. This kind of cheating person is certainly hateful, but it is not a matter of principle after all. Appropriate punishment should be reasonable. Therefore, he proposed to the old monk that anyone who is more than 3,000 years old should be taken back?
The old monk smiled, and smiled happily. His ideal is to support a benevolent person. So, who is the true identity of this old monk?
Gu Yi stood up, and only then did he notice his surroundings.
Around the pavilion, there were kneeling people, along the hillside and the fields, there were as many as 2,000 people. Although they couldn't hear what these two people were saying, they both knew that this matter discussed by the old and the young directly determined whether they could end this endless cycle of painful days.
When these people saw the smiling face of the old monk, they also shed tears of excitement.
The old monk withdrew from the sub-regional bureau and walked out of the pavilion with Gu Yi.
At this moment, a person came from the crowd kneeling on the ground, a well-dressed and beautiful young long-haired woman. She slowly walked up to Gu Yi and bowed deeply. Gu Yi immediately knew who she was, and Tang Feng also knew.
It was the astonishing leap on the cliff that she gave up her life back then, blowing up the soul phantom parasitic in her body, distorting time and space, turning abstraction into substance, and human figure into discreteness, which shocked Tang Feng, who came to beg for death.
Now Gu Yi has understood that it is just a matter of the four-dimensional unwilling soul manipulation, which leads to the physical field or wave, forming a short-term regional bureau.
After leaving Mount Emei, Gu Yi went to his parents' house in Hezhou City, Eastern Sichuan Province.
Gu Yi's mother has retired at home, and his father will retire in two years. Because the grandparents are old and sick, almost all of their energy is on serving the elderly.
Gu Yi's arrival made his parents very happy. They went to their grandparents' house to eat together.
Gu Yi was at his grandfather's house, and he actually saw that they hired a local nanny, which made Gu Yi feel a little surprised. Because, in the third-tier area, there are very few people who hire a nanny. Only people from third-tier areas go to big cities to work as nannies. Most of the elderly families here rely on their children to take care of them. Of course, this is also related to economic poverty.
The mother watched the nanny cooking, smiled from ear to ear, and said proudly that it was all with the money Tang Yijing gave last time. The money in the card is enough for the four old people to retire to their old age.
When Gu Yi thought of Tang Yijing, he felt a little ashamed of others. But what can this be?
Gu Yi knew it very well in his heart. This will be the most difficult knot for him in the future.
In the mortal world, just a hundred years, Ziyun may not compete with Ah Die. However, when it comes to the four-dimensional world, she will definitely not let go. As the old monk said, there are too many causes and effects in his body.
Looking at his parents and nanny busy, Gu Yi didn't know if his family had any complaints. Because, no matter how beautiful he is outside, he does not directly bring benefits to his family. The old house is still the same, and the big money has not been earned.
In fact, the reason why Gu Yi did not give his worldly parents and family too many benefits was because he understood that all the joys and pains of earthly life were experiences. He didn't want to break the experience. Otherwise, with his extraordinary abilities, it would be easy to make money.
The next day, unexpectedly, the general manager of the enterprise group where his parents worked, with several members of the leadership team, came to the door to see Gu Yi in person.
This general manager was recruited by his superiors after the factory was transformed into an enterprise group, with a doctorate degree and a high level of literacy and business vision.
Gu Yi received them very warmly. After all, these people are the leaders of the business where his ancestors worked.
It's really nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. The general manager came to see him, of course, he had something to ask Gu Yi for. Today's Gu Yi is also a celebrity in the local area. Not only do you know the popular big stars, but you are also an important member of an internationally renowned investment group.
Gu Yi originally thought that they wanted to contact Tang Yijing for advertising, but after chatting for a while, he realized that the general manager actually wanted Gu Yi to open the international market through the weak water group.
If Tang Yijing is asked to advertise, Gu Yi really doesn't want to care about this matter. At most, he can ask Tang Yijing's agent to contact the company, and he doesn't care what to talk about. However, I didn't expect them to talk about the future of business management. He really felt obligated to do so.
First, the weak water investment group itself is engaged in the intermediary business of enterprises, and this large state-owned enterprise deserves their attention. Second, this is also an enterprise that Gu Yi grew up and relied on by his ancestors, and he should do his best to help it if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.
Seeing Gu Yi's supportive attitude, the general manager was really grateful. Immediately invite Gu Yi to the company's headquarters tomorrow to discuss in detail. Gu Yi happily agreed, without refusal.
After the general manager and others left home, his parents were a little worried. After all, they, including Gu Yi's grandparents, have always been the lowest level of junior staff in this company, and have never been in contact with the top management of the company.
This time, the top leader came over in person, which already made them a little honestly afraid. Even the neighbors around him craned their necks to watch.
This is a large state-owned conglomerate that has developed into tens of thousands of people, and it has long been in a corner of security, with poor personnel mobility, like an independent kingdom. The senior leaders of the group have the power to determine the fate of many low-level employees, so looking up has become the habitual mentality of low-level employees.
Gu Yi reassured his parents that this was originally his business.
Gu Yi's parents were surprised. They always thought that Gu Yi was just mixing well outside, and the deepest impression was that he knew a big star. Unexpectedly, Gu Yi's real strength is not who he knows, but the ability to talk about big things on an equal footing with the leaders they look up to.
This kid has really grown up and matured. Gu Yi's mother's eyes were full of tears of happiness. Because, in their lifelong careers, they have never had such a perspective on life.
The internationalization of an enterprise is a complex system engineering. Including management, production, sales, finance, service and talents, industry standards must also be in line with international standards.
Although this large conglomerate has long had its own path to internationalization. However, in recent years, the international market has changed, especially driven by trade barriers and tariff wars led by the United States, the door of the international market of enterprises has undergone complex changes.
Weak Water Group is a well-established Western conglomerate with a high reputation in the world. Although this third-tier group enterprise has an old start, it is not resting on its laurels, and its strategic thinking is still relatively advanced. This is one of the reasons why Gu Yi must help them.
That night, Gu Yi called Cui Lan and made a brief report to President Cui about the situation here. Unexpectedly, Cui Lan decided to send someone to go immediately on the spot and let Gu Yi also participate in the business negotiations. His business experts leave tomorrow.
With Cui Lan's guarantee, Gu Yi had confidence when he participated in the group enterprise executive meeting the next day. When those business leaders heard that the weak water group would send someone over immediately, they all looked at Gu Yi with an incredulous look.
Gu Yi's acquaintance with movie stars has long been spread inside and outside the company, although these senior leaders of the group know, but they also have their own arrogance and dignity, and they don't think it's such a great thing. It's only occasionally used as a topic of small talk. However, when they learned that Gu Yi was working in the Weak Water Group, they all felt that the kid of the Gu family really had some ability.
Actually, where do they know. This kid with a bit of ability in their eyes almost became the son-in-law of the president of the weak water group. His current status in the group, in fact, Gu Yi himself doesn't know, he is almost a thousand years old.
As soon as he came into contact with the leaders of these group enterprises, Gu Yi found that these leaders were not conservative at all. Many people have also stayed overseas and have high academic qualifications. The degree of specialization of the whole enterprise is very sufficient, and the products are first-class in the national industry. It's just that because of being in the southwest inland, it has affected the thinking of many employees, and there are no people in the coastal areas who are active.
Coming out of the conference room, the general manager took Gu Yi to visit the site of the enterprise. Don't look at Gu Yi grew up here, and he often ran around the group factory when he was a child, which is no stranger, but he doesn't know much about the company's production and operation system, capacity sales, etc. At that time he was still a child, and he only knew how to play.
This large state-owned enterprise group was restructured and established by factory restructuring, and still maintains the scale of five branches, each of which is divided according to the professional division of labor. From locomotives to underground shields, from tractors to mechanical parts. Especially in the finishing industry, all of them have realized program-controlled automated production lines.
At that time, the country was thinking about war preparedness. Once such a large enterprise turns around, it will be the best military industrial base and an important support force for the country.
The next week will be a time for business representatives of the weak water group to discuss and inspect the senior leaders of the enterprise group. Weakwater Group is a very professional international investment group with an international perspective and strict business standards. This is also an important baptism for this large conglomerate.
It is not that they have never gone abroad, and many of the products of the enterprise group occupy a very important share in the international market. However, those share markets are extremely shaky. The main reason for this is outreach through Western intermediaries. When the international market changes, it is highly susceptible to shocks. Therefore, the focus of this negotiation is to let the weak water group invest directly and be responsible for preparing for the establishment of overseas branches.
Through this week's business contacts and negotiations, the senior management of the enterprise group has been greatly shaken. Although the company's technology and products are first-class, there is a serious lack of international technology and management talents, and it is still relatively unfamiliar with the changes in the international situation and market dynamics. However, no matter what kind of cooperation they reach in this negotiation, the negotiation is destined to be successful, because Cui Lan and Gu Yi have strong support behind them.
For this business cooperation, the whole group was fully mobilized and a welcome ceremony was held. Signs of welcome can be seen everywhere in the factory. Seeing that Gu Yi was taken to the factory by the senior leaders of the enterprise group every day, it attracted widespread heated discussions among the employees of the enterprise. They only knew that he knew the movie star, but they didn't expect that he could be mixed up enough to be personally received by the big leaders of the company, and he was still in the C position.
Especially the masters in the substation have always been marginal people in the enterprise, and no one takes them seriously. This time they got up. Praise everyone when you meet people, that's my apprentice!
Cui Lan also attaches great importance to this cooperation, and Gu Yi actually sent him a treasure. He has long wanted to get involved in such a large state-owned group company, but he has never had a suitable opportunity. This is because this kind of large state-owned group enterprise used to have an administrative level and was more constrained by the higher authorities. After the modernization and restructuring of the company, although the administrative level has been abolished, there is still an invisible reciprocal relationship.
To Cui Lan's surprise, the company's leadership had a strong sense of cooperation and the negotiations went very smoothly. In addition to reviewing the business plan himself, he also came to visit the site in person.
Actually, he had wanted to come over a long time ago, mainly to visit Gu Yi's parents. Later, because of the matter between Gu Yi and Cui Bailu, everyone broke up unhappily and gave up. However, now there is a new situation, he is taking care of both public and private affairs, and he really came to visit.
Cui Lan really took the time to go to Gu Yi's house in person during the business negotiations. Of course, it was to visit Gu Yi's parents.
This made the leaders of the enterprise group present very embarrassed. Because, in their minds, Cui Lan is a god-like existence, and it is a great honor for them to be able to visit the company in person. Those slogans, mainly for him to see. Unexpectedly, he would personally visit the families of the grassroots employees of the company. It made the business leaders very embarrassed. After all, Gu Yi's parents' house is the most dilapidated housing area of the enterprise, which is really shabby. Group leaders are even worried about the impact on corporate cooperation.
And Cui Lan's visit made Gu Yi's parents even more embarrassed. Because, last time they went to the capital, they wanted to discuss the marriage of Gu Yi and Cui Bailu together. Later, Gu Yi's kid repented of his marriage, and the old couple felt that there was no place to put their old faces, so they didn't dare to see others, so they were so frightened that they rushed back to their home in Hezhou, eastern Sichuan overnight. Even at the last wedding between Gu Yi and Ye Yiping, they didn't dare to toast Cui Lan.
They definitely didn't expect that Cui Lan's heart was so big?
