Chapter Seventy-Eight: Belonging
It wasn't until dinner time that Zhou You sent off the last visitor, so that the doorman no longer greeted the guests, and at most left a business card, if Zhou You had time or was interested in meeting the other party, he would naturally notify the other party. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Back in the backyard, Zhou You remembered that he hadn't seen Yang Mi for a long time. He didn't go back to the main room directly, but came to Yang Mi's room, only to see her nestled in the comfortable computer chair without being ladylike at all, and Erlang's legs were crossed on the thick sandalwood table, and he was engrossed in the game.
This guy is a super game fan, as long as he doesn't make a film and there are no announcements, he is definitely playing a game. Seeing Zhou You coming in, she rolled her eyes and didn't move her body.
"Stop playing, it's time for dinner." Zhou You pinched her little face, but pinched a hand of oil, grinned deliberately in disgust, and took a wet tissue to help her wipe her face.
"Don't interfere with my play...... I'm fighting monsters! ”
"I'm the big monster...... "You traveled around for half a while, wiped her face, kissed her plump lips directly, and touched her hand. It's a little bigger, and it's about to really become a big honey. ”
"Bad ......" her beautiful eyes sparkled, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Get out of the ......"
"No flashing ......"
Her body was nested in a V-shape in the sofa, without the slightest ability to resist, and under the rubbing of Zhou You, her body softened after a while. "You're the big bad......" she took the initiative to put her arms around Zhou You's neck and kissed her.
Of course, Zhou You knew that she was also a little emotional in her heart. She and Le Yao are good friends, and the status of the two of them is the same, but Le Yao has been traveling for a longer time. But this trip gave a billion-dollar building to Le Yao as a gift, which suddenly made her position a little embarrassing.
It's not that Yang Mi has to have a gift, but she doesn't suffer from widowhood but only average, now that Le Yao has a gift, she has nothing, so naturally she will be a little unhappy.
But Zhou You has a scale in his heart, Le Yao has followed him since he was twelve years old and has been with him for eight years, although Yang Mi has not met late, the two have only been together for less than two years. Therefore, although such a valuable gift can be given to Le Yao, such a valuable gift cannot be given to Yang Mi now, otherwise it will be unfair to Le Yao.
Of course, although the billion-dollar gift cannot be given now, it does not mean that other gifts cannot be given, and Zhou You brought back a 16.5 carat pink diamond from Africa this time.
The pink diamond from Tanzania would have cost tens of millions of dollars at the current market price. Of course, since Zhou Yu obtained this diamond through underground channels, the price paid is pitiful.
Wen saved for a while, but Zhou You accidentally planted a strawberry on her neck, Yang Mi was a little annoyed, and kicked Zhou You out of the room. As a public figure, a celebrity, leaving a kiss mark in a conspicuous place, he will not dare to show his face for at least a week.
But she still has a notice next, and she can't push it off. It's autumn again, and it's too early to put on a scarf, and for a while, she's really in a hurry. Because of this, she didn't even accompany them to dinner, and hid in her room alone, looking up various ways to get rid of stasis.
Zhou You's heart was very proud, and seeing her annoyed and angry, it seemed to satisfy the bad taste in his heart. This made him very happy at dinner, which made Mr. Yan and Liu Qidong of the Bank of China feel inexplicable.
"What's going on with Evan again?"
Zhou Youleng paused for a moment and said exaggeratedly: "Am I so obvious?" ”
Liu Qidong pursed his lips disdainfully. "You're just going to have it written on your face."
Zhou You laughed and mentioned Liang Wengen's matter to them. Although this matter has to be kept secret from the outside world, the few people here are worthy of attention and will not talk about it.
As soon as he heard that this was the case, Mr. Yan immediately said: "Since I also happened to encounter this incident, then I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that Bank of China can become the undertaking bank of your acquisition action, and this requirement can always satisfy me, right?" ”
Zhou You laughed and said, "Bank of China is willing to serve us, of course we welcome it." However, Mr. Yan has a wide range of relations in China, and he also helped me understand the main contradictions between Sanyi and Zhonglian, so that I can also know in my heart. ”
"I know a little about this, but they are in the south, far away from the center, so I don't know much. But if you want to know about these things, I can find out the inside story with just a phone call. ”
Mr. Yan didn't lie about this, because the bank is like the God of Wealth in the industrial industry, and any enterprise will focus on the bank to build a good relationship, because the operation and development of the enterprise can never leave the support of the bank.
One of his phone calls came, and when they had eaten dinner, the feedback came back. Things are similar to what Liang Wengen said, of course, they can't be as pure as the White Lotus, otherwise, it is impossible to live well under the suppression of Zhonglian.
However, in general, Sanyi has received some unfair treatment because of its status as a private enterprise. For example, some time ago, they had negotiated a purchase with the Italian side, but because they did not get government approval, they were picked by Zhonglian, which is also real.
Moreover, the acquisition amount of Zhonglian is indeed 600 million US dollars.
Zhou You thought about it for a while, and then dialed Lalina's phone and asked them to investigate the real financial situation and asset status of the company in Italy.
It wasn't until he was about to say goodbye that Mr. Yan said with some sighs the purpose of his visit this time. "Mr. Zhou, although you are a shareholder of many banks, after all, you are Chinese like us. Therefore, in the development of South America and Africa, we still need to talk more about it. I know that in terms of service, we still have many shortcomings, but we also have the intention to improve, in this long-term struggle between yellow and white, we have lost at the starting line, and we can no longer lose in the process. Your current development plans in South America and Africa are in the interests of the country, and at this time, we should unite and unite with the outside world, rather than allowing white people to take advantage. ”
Zhou You pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Yan always represent the Bank of China, or does it represent other aspects?" ”
"You can understand that they all represent."
Zhou You took a deep breath and said, "I, as a person, have never forgotten where my roots are and what color my skin is. Without my preference, do you think the big four banks can compete with HSBC and Santander? Santander has been present in South America for more than a century and, so to speak, has taken root in South America since the colonial era. HSBC has a relatively short history, but with the help of the UK's global development, it has a strong foundation in Southeast Asia and the West, but now our banks can match them. This is because, in the course of my consultations with the leaders of various countries, I have already said a lot of good things about Chinese banks. It is far better to control the economy of one's own country in the hands of one bank than to let all the banks compete together, and no one who can become the leader of the country is a fool. ”
"That's why we've been able to open one outlet after another, and we've been able to grow steadily. However, as you just said, this is a long-term war, so you must not be in a hurry, and don't rush to run before you have learned to walk, which will lead to falling on your heels. I finally broke into the camp of the West, and it is my bounden duty and mission to be able to do something for my nation and country, but don't lose a big one because of a small thing, because the performance is too obvious, so that the Western society begins to reject me, then the gain outweighs the loss. I will help our bank, and I will create an environment that seems to be fair, but in fact it is still biased towards our bank. But to be considerate of my situation, I can't show it too obviously. That's my attitude, you can tell me about it when you go back. ”
Mr. Yan's face also showed a burst of confusion, of course, this kind of expression is impossible for a big leader to show at all. He showed this expression now, and he also deliberately wanted Zhou You to see it. "I also know that you have done enough, but the responsibility lies, I hope Mr. Zhou will not be surprised."
Zhou You stretched out his hand to shake it with him, and said with a smile: "Of course not, this will not affect our personal friendship in the slightest." ”
Human beings have never been solitary creatures in this world, especially after modern times, the development of science and technology and the shortage of resources have made human beings' needs for others reach a peak.
In ancient times, human beings could still drink blood and survive in small groups, but now, the clothes they wear, the food they eat, the needs of travel, the needs of accommodation, and even the spiritual needs need to be created by everyone.
In the process of such group division, the existence of the state is actually an obstacle to human exchange. Otherwise, Africa would not have been able to fight non-stop because of its borders.
The truly reasonable division should be the division of nationalities. It is a pity that the historical reasons caused by history, the competition for resources, have made peace the dream of all people, and the interests of the nation have more often succumbed to reality.
In this process, everyone needs to clearly find their own position. Although Zhou You immigrated to Singapore, there are still traces of Chinese in his bones. As a yellow-skinned, dark-haired Oriental, even though he is now recognized by white Westerners, this recognition is not spiritual.
He knew very well that he was a Chinese, and he never wanted to integrate into the West, because he could not find any sense of belonging there.
Therefore, he is willing to make his own contribution to his community. But this sense of belonging in a broad sense of existence cannot be above the interests of the individual, otherwise, this is a distortion of human nature.
In times of peace, when there is no crisis of genocide, who wants to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others? I'm afraid there won't be one.
sent away Mr. Yan and Liu Qidong, and this long day finally passed. Zhou You thought about it in his heart for a while, and when he saw that the temperature outside was pleasant, he sat down on a chair under the grape trellis in the small garden in the backyard.
Due to the large number of children in the family and the bad climate in the capital, there is no pond or rockery in the backyard. The middle of the courtyard is divided into several different areas by the path, under the big tree is a set of children's amusement equipment, and the remaining two pieces of land are planted with various flowers by Le Yao and Yan Fangqing, and the grape trellis is just located in the middle, surrounded by a strong fragrance of flowers.
Ma Hongtao's energy was far less abundant than that of Zhou You, so he sent Mr. Yan away and went back to his room to wash and rest. Naya went from room to room and turned off the lights in the main house, leaving only the milky white light in the courtyard.
"Boss, incense is ready, it's time to practice."
"No need to burn incense, help me bring the futon, and I'll meditate here."
When he brought the futon from the practice room, he asked again, "Boss, where do you sleep at night?" ”
Zhou You couldn't help but laugh. "Leave me alone, go and rest." He understood that Zhou You would not go back to his room to rest, and he did not need to help Zhou You arrange bedding, so he returned to his room in the front yard to rest.
With his traveling skills, the bodyguards around him are not mainly to protect him, but to block those reporters for him, solve some trivial matters, and be more like an assistant. So when I sleep at night, I never arrange them to be protected by my side.
There are also peripheral bodyguards in every place, and with their presence, the security of traveling around is already sufficiently protected.
After pranayama for half an hour, Zhou You practiced another set of boxing techniques, and then came to Yang Mi's room. "Big honey, go and help me put the bath water ......"
Seeing Zhou You, Da Mimi immediately pursed her lips, gave him a health ball, and put her eyes in front of the computer screen. She was still working with the mouse in her right hand, but she was holding an ice cube in her left hand, still grinding against the bruises.
"Big villain, how are you going to go to school tomorrow and how are you going to rehearse the play?"
"It's good to bring a silk scarf, I remember that Le Yao has a lot of silk scarves there, let's go steal one."
She pounced on her hatefully, hugged Zhou You's arm, and bit it down in one bite. It wasn't until she left a tooth mark that she relented, and still said angrily: "It's so ugly, it's not that I can't afford it, and I still need to steal her?" ”
Zhou You touched her hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, count me wrong." Come and see the little gift I brought you. ”
No woman who likes to smell can resist the temptation of diamonds, and it is still a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, or her favorite pink. You must know that in diamonds, the output of pink diamonds is the lowest, and the output accounts for less than 1/10,000 in the proportion of diamonds.
"How do you know I like pink the most?"
"Because I'm also a fan of yours, of course I know your hobbies."
"Hmph, you have a heart." Although I knew that Zhou You was coaxing her, this feeling was really good.
