Chapter 460: You're Going Too Smoothly
The plane has been lifted off, I and Le Yao one in the economy class, the other in the first class, although on the same flight, but there is no intersection, so in the two hours or so of the trip, I have been in a state of sleep, until I was about to arrive in Beijing did not wake up, and a moment later the plane also landed at the airport, I did not immediately leave with the flow of people, but stayed in my seat and waited for Le Yao.
After a while, she finally appeared in my sight, walked up to me, stopped, and asked, "What about me?" â
"yes."
Le Yao frowned slightly: "You shouldn't be following me on purpose, right?" â
"From Shanghai to Beijing, a ticket is nearly 1,000 yuan, as for me to follow you?"
Le Yao smiled at me, and then said: "Whether you are following me or not, but I have to tell you, there may be another group of reporters waiting for me outside the airport at this time, if you are willing to wade into this troubled water, you will continue to follow." â
I grabbed her arm and asked, "Is there a reporter guarding outside?" You mean, this time I came to Beijing to announce my return to the entertainment industry? â
"I haven't signed a company yet, who will help me develop a development project, Zhaoyang, I don't understand, why do you want me to go back to the entertainment industry?"
"I don't want you to return to the entertainment industry, I just hope you can return to a normal life trajectory, since it's normal, there must always be a job, what else can you do besides acting?"
"Didn't you start your own company, or I'll be your assistant, I don't dislike your small company."
"No kidding, okay?"
Le Yao shrugged her shoulders, and then walked towards the hatch, I followed her footsteps, she turned around and said to me with a smile: "Zhaoyang, if you have a reporter, you have to be brave, you just continue to follow, otherwise I will hold your arm and make a couple look like no problem!" â
After her reminder, I immediately became palpitating, and subconsciously stopped, Le Yao glanced at me with disdain, and then walked towards the hatch alone.
Until I got out of the airport, I didn't see any reporter's shadow, but I saw Le Yao get into a silver-white BMW car without squinting, and soon disappeared from my sight, but even so, I couldn't help but think about her motives and purposes for coming to Beijing this time, and suddenly felt that this woman who had been with me all day had become mysterious
After waiting outside the airport for a while, Yang Congrong's driver drove me up and took me to a restaurant in the classical Chinese style, where Yang Congrong hosted a banquet for me, but this banquet was only for him, the host, and me, as a guest.
After I entered the private room, Yang Congrong's assistant withdrew, and he also got up to greet him, and then beckoned me to take a seat, after I sat down, he smiled and said: "Before we talk about serious things, let's decide what wine to drink, I have brought two bottles of Wuliangye that have been treasured for more than ten years, or drink beer!" â
This seems to be a simple choice but has a deep meaning, if you choose to drink liquor, it represents a formality, the next exchange we will talk about cooperation from the position of a businessman, if you choose beer, it proves that it is with affection, we can talk about our difficulties and positions with our hearts, and then look for solutions.
I responded with a smile to Yang Congrong and said, "Beer bar, there is only one season left to drink." â
Yang nodded calmly: "Then I'm really glad that you came to me in the autumn, in fact, I don't like to drink liquor, all kinds of entertainment over the years, I'm really tired of drinking liquor!" â
"I understand, let's drink beer, but this is what I like to vote for Uncle Yang, I think you want to drink beer more than me!"
Yang calmly smiled "haha", then pointed at me, and said, "You kid, there are many doors, but you can understand what I mean, I think we will talk much more about it next." â
I nodded in agreement
Authentic Beijing cuisine was sent up by the waiter one after another, I poured a glass of beer for Yang Congrong, and poured a glass myself, and then both of them finished the beer in the cup in one gulp, Yang Congrong seemed to be very interested in drinking beer, and motioned for me to refill a cup for him, I immediately filled him with a cup, and I also poured the cup full, and after the two touched one, they drank it all again.
After drinking three glasses in a row, Yang Congrong finally put down the cup, smacked his lips and tasted it, and said to me: "Although this wine has not yet been drunk, it has also made a good start, I believe that we can keep calm and continue the following exchanges, so if you have any doubts, just ask, I will definitely know everything!" â
I put down the cup in my hand, gently extended my breathing, and asked him: "Uncle Yang, I want to know what was the motivation for you to invest in the company at that time, and now I don't believe that it was the project of Literature and Art Road that moved you!" â
Yang calmly nodded and said: "At the beginning, I was really optimistic about the project of the road of literature and art, and the prospects of this project are also very good, but these can't satisfy me, to be honest, even if I don't invest in this project, I have the ability to make a company like Luku alone, and completely control it myself." â
"I understand that, so that's what I'm wondering about, why are you investing in this company?"
Yang calmly poured himself a glass of beer again, and after drinking it all, he said to me with deep emotion: "Zhaoyang, this is an extremely realistic society, no one has ever been able to casually create a zĂ o myth, under China's existing social system, the operation of private enterprises is difficult, you should know that most of the current private enterprises are fighting on the edge of life and death, and the scenery is only a small part, of course, this is not all caused by the system, but in this social atmosphere, You don't have deep connections, your business can't be big, do you understand that? â
"I understand, but I don't have too deep experience, my entrepreneurial road seems to be too smooth."
"Of course you go smoothly, let's take the company Luku as an example, since its inception, have you ever encountered trouble? All the procedures that require the approval of government departments are not handled smoothly without the slightest obstacle? â
"Yes, there have never been any obstacles."
"Why is that?"
I knew it in my heart, but I had no words.
Yang smiled calmly, and said: "This society is a complex network of interests, if you want to survive in this network, you must understand the rules, use the rules well, just like your literary and artistic road, it seems that the creativity is very good, the artistic conception is far-reaching, but I tell you, if you want to terminate your project, just in one of your coffee shops, or bars, find a reason to save zĂ i fire safety hazards, you can make your entire project stop and rectify, as for when to meet the standard, It is the relevant departments that have the final say, and I am not giving you this example to criticize any atmosphere, but just to tell you how important the relationship is in this society! â
After a pause, he said: "I was born at the grassroots, my family is very ordinary, I crawled out from the bottom of the society, when I was young, I also had a lot of ideas that I thought could be realized, but when I really did it, I always encountered such and such obstacles, and finally I had to give up, and I was really disheartened for a while, but I did a deep reflection, I want to cater to this society, and cater to the social interests that make me disgusted I met Jian Boyu ten years ago, and we have worked together on many projects, He is a very energetic person, in fact, the real energy is his wife, so Jian Boyu's company can become bigger and bigger, and Jian Wei, a little girl, is even more powerful, in less than a year, the advertising company has become the leading in Suzhou and even the entire southern Jiangsu region, but is this a myth? It's a myth, it's not a myth! â
Although I had been mentally prepared, when these words really came out of Yang Congrong's mouth like a cocoon, I still couldn't suppress a burst of annoyance, I poured myself a beer, and then drank it in one go.
Yang Congrong finally said to me: "I am a businessman, I will make judgments and measurements on many things, and what is not lacking in the world is the idea that you can make money, but turning these ideas into real money requires opportunities and creation, which is why I invested in Luku." â
Yang Congrong didn't make it clear, but the meaning was already obvious, he invested in Lu Ku entirely because of Jian Wei, such as the scenic spot project in that county, why the government would give so much real support, there is no need to make it clear, and what Yang Congrong needs most is this kind of official support, because this kind of support is what every businessman dreams of, but without the Lu Ku company invested by Jian Wei as a shelter, he can't get these This is his most direct motivation for investing in Lu Ku, not to mention using Jian Wei, But also to each according to his needs!
I nodded and said, "I really appreciate that you can be honest with me about this, and I can understand you better, but what about Janeway, why did she invest in Luku, and she also wanted to pull you?" With her abilities, she doesn't need to pull you at all to achieve this set of business goals. â
"Do you really not understand this yourself?"
I didn't want to continue to speculate subjectively, so I looked at Yang Congrong, waited for him to give me the most authentic answer, and then recalled in my brain what logical reasons Jian Wei used to promote the establishment of the company Luku, and what reasons she used to invest in this company.
A clear vein was formed in my brain, and it seemed that the company was really established in Janeway's step-by-step operation, while I had been living in a passive environment, and it had been difficult to find the direction of business.
