Chapter 53: A Good Show
Due to the large number of birthday celebrations, the group arrived at Dream Island almost on the same day. It is difficult to separate Zhu Gong www.biquge.info pen and fun pavilion, and he cannot entertain them one by one in person like entertaining the fourteen princes of the Wei Guo and his party. And because the next day is the day of the big birthday, it is not suitable for a big feast on that day.
Therefore, we can only set up a banquet to entertain the birthday groups from all walks of life, accompanied by important people from Dream Island. Ximen Liu accompanied Liang Guo's birthday group, talked about fearlessness accompanied Chu Guotuan, and Hua Meng accompanied Chen Guotuan. Other business groups also arranged for corresponding personnel to accompany them one by one.
That night, the whole Dream Island was brilliantly lit, with pleasant singing and laughter. Feasts are set up in each courtyard to entertain guests from all walks of life. Ming Zhu Gong showed his face in front of each birthday group, said a few words, drank a few glasses of wine, and then went to the next house. Almost without touching the ground, I walked everywhere.
In the end, he withdrew and returned to the Fulend.
At this time, a feast for 1,000 people was being held in Fulinyuan. This feast is not only to entertain the members of the birthday group sent by the Ming Zhu branch from various countries, it can be said that they are all their own families, and it can also be regarded as a warm birthday for Ming Zhu Gong. Warm birthday wine is naturally celebrated with your own family.
But seeing the crowds of people, the hall was full of people, singing and dancing, and beaming.
Song Qi was in Fulin Courtyard, still sitting at the same table with Chao Hu, but no one else at the table knew him. Chao Hu told him that these were all guys from the Weiguo Branch.
Song Qi couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many guys who came to celebrate his birthday!" It can be seen how huge the Ming Zhu business is! ”
"The people who come here account for less than one percent of the population of our Mingzhu firm." Chao Hu tapped his fingers on the table and explained quietly, "Our Ming Zhu firm has a semicolon in every country, and each semicolon has one or two thousand guys. There are more than 60,000 people alone. Coupled with the family members behind the guys, the population of our Ming Zhu firm is as high as three or four hundred thousand. ”
"Wow! There are so many! That's more than the population of a small country! Song Qi was surprised.
Chao Hu said proudly: "Because there are too many guys, not every guy has the opportunity to come to Dream Island to celebrate his grandfather's birthday in person. Only good guys can be selected for each semicolon to participate. ”
A guy sitting next to him chimed in: "You guys on the island are so lucky! Everyone can participate. Let the people of our semicolon be envious! ”
Song Qi saw that the guy was amiable, so he reached out and patted the man's arm, and asked softly, "Brother, how many people are there from your Weiguo branch?" ”
"We've got five hundred people in the semicolon." The man thought for a moment and said, "There could have been seven hundred." Due to the scandal of the big treasurer absconding, the list has been reduced a lot at once. ”
"The big shopkeeper absconding?" Song Qi was surprised.
"Yes." The guy sighed and said, "Last month, the former big shopkeeper Xu Zhen suddenly disappeared, and everyone didn't know why. ”
"True or fake? How did we not know this? Chao Hu looked at the guy with some confusion. Chao Hu and Song Qi were both drunk last night, so they didn't hear Ximen Liu's last words.
"You don't know?" The guy was a little surprised, paused, and explained to himself: "It is estimated that the chief shopkeeper will not affect the peaceful atmosphere of Grandpa's birthday, so he will not talk about it for the time being." As soon as the birthday is over, the chief shopkeeper will report the matter to the grandfather, and then report it to the branches. ”
"Maybe." Hearing this, Chao Hu's expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed: "Xu Zhen, the treasurer of the Great Guardian of the Kingdom, has always been honest and honest, and he has won the trust of his grandfather. How could he suddenly abscond? It's unbelievable! Could it be that the grandfather will look at the wrong person? ”
"Most of us guys think so too." The guy nodded and said, "But since the chief shopkeeper claims that the shopkeeper Xu has absconded, we can only believe that." After all, the chief treasurer knows more clearly and informatively than we do. ”
"People change." Another guy interjected, "Everybody has to look away." Zhuge Liang also misread Ma Yan. Cao Cao also misjudged Sima Yi. ”
Song Qi was a little surprised when he heard this. But this surprise was much lighter than the surprise of hearing that Meng Bandit Yanzifei was Father Ling's apprentice. Maybe that's the power of habit. Betrayal is not unique to ancient times, and I am afraid that there will only be more in modern times.?
Suddenly, everyone stood up, and the crowd cheered and applauded. Song Qi and the others also stood up, stretching their necks and looking around.
It turned out that Ming Zhugong went to various courtyards to meet with various birthday groups and returned to Fulin Hospital.
In the welcome of everyone, Ming Zhu Gong was radiant and smiling, slowly walked into the courtyard, walked slowly towards the hall, opened the bow left and right with both hands, and shook hands with the hands stretched out from both sides from time to time.
The people at the scene, when they saw their boss Ming Zhugong, some were in tears, some were excited to cry, some were excited to shout, and some were laughing. For them, Ming Zhu Gong is God, the sun, and God.
A person can be revered by others to such an extent that he is willing to give his life. Although Ming Zhu Gong was pushed off the cliff by the Xilian clan, his life is still there, and his soul is still there. In order to compensate for his suffering, Heaven borrowed his wisdom for 500 years, allowing him to achieve the greatest commercial miracle in the history of mankind.
Song Qi felt a lot of emotion in his heart. There are parts of his life experience that are similar to those of Ming Zhugong, and there are also completely different parts.
In this world, what kind of career he can accomplish, he still does not know.
Song Qi's eyes swept left and right, and found that only him and Chao Hu were left next to his table, and those guys from the Weiguo firm had gotten into the crowd at some point. The same is true at other tables.
Compared to the guys from outside the island, the family members who spent all day on Dream Island did not have a warm reaction, although they also had bright smiles on their faces and words of welcome and blessings.
Although they also regard Ming Zhu Gong as a god, the sun, and a parent for food and clothing. But for the family on Dream Island, this god is not as terrifying and terrifying as the Buddha, but as amiable and respectable as the Maitreya Buddha, and he has long since stepped down from the altar and lived in the middle of the crowd.
Comparing the different attitudes of the two groups of employees on and off the island towards the boss, Song Qi sighed in his heart: "There is really no hero in the eyes of the servants, and there are no saints around the wives and concubines!" ”
After about half an hour of noisy and shouting, Ming Zhugong finally squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the chairman's position, which was naturally in the middle of the hall, facing south and facing north.
After Ming Zhu Gong gave a speech, the big shopkeeper of each semicolon spoke one after another.
It is nothing more than a few words of blessing and good wishes, mixed with bittersweet memories and the prospect of carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future. Of course, the most should be "Shoubi Nanshan Ageless Peak, Blessing is like the East China Sea" and other birthday wishes.
Then they were seated and the feast began. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Mu Xun, the big shopkeeper of the Ming Zhu firm Chen Guo, got up and came to the Ming Zhu table, gave a deep salute, and asked with a smile: "Grandpa has been in business for many years, and he is rich in the world." Today is my grandfather's 60th birthday, can I ask my grandfather to tell you about the business experience? ”
When everyone heard this, they gave a standing ovation and cheered, "Good, good!" Please tell me about the business! ”
As a small businessman, Song Qi of course also wanted to listen to the business experience of Ming Zhu Gong, a generation of big businessmen, and when he heard everyone asking Ming Zhu Gong to share his business experience, he also stood up and applauded.
"I don't have any special experience either." Ming Zhugong listened, smiled and waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, then stroked his beard, thought for a while, and then stretched out four fingers and said: "According to my more than 30 years of business travel career, I have summarized it, the most important thing is four points. ”
Song Qi hurriedly sat down and listened.
Everyone sat down separately and listened. Although they have followed Ming Zhu Gong for many years, and some have lived on the island for more than ten years, it is rare to hear Ming Zhu Gong share business experience. Because Ming Zhugong himself has always been very low-key, he often tells people that his ability is not very high, but his luck is slightly better than others.
On Dream Island, people secretly spread the word of mouth, indicating that Zhu Gong was lucky because he had a book from heaven, and he relied on the guidance of the book of heaven to earn great wealth. This rumor has been around for a long time. But no one had ever seen that book of heaven, not even Ming Zhu'an had seen it with his own eyes.
Ming Zhu Gong stretched out four fingers in turn and said: "One is to judge the situation, the second is to make good use of the strength, the third is to be honest and valuable, and the fourth is to bear hardships and stand hard work." ”
Some of the people bowed their heads and listened, some smiled, and some stretched out four fingers to remember.
Ming Zhu Gong explained one by one: "First of all, let's talk about judging the situation. Last night, the spring water by the riverside was born, and the giant ship was a dime light, and it has always been in vain to push the force, and at this moment the middle stream is free. It means that the difficulty of things is not small or big, but the time is known. The saint's work seems to be slow and urgent, as if it is slow and fast, waiting for the time. The so-called situation creates heroes, and if the situation is not there, heroes are useless. ”
"What a time to assess the situation! Our Mingzhu firm can have today's achievements because of the good judgment of the situation! The crowd exclaimed.
Ming Zhugong smiled slightly, slowly stretched out his hand to gesture, and continued: "Han Feizi said: Those who are wise use their own strength, those who are wise use their own strength, those who are wise use the power of others, and those who are wise use the wisdom of others. Liu Bang couldn't pull out the top, and his wisdom couldn't strategize, so why he finally defeated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who was powerful and powerful to conquer the world, and won the world, because he made good use of the strength and resourcefulness of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He and others. This is the use of the power of many. ”
"Make good use of the power of the people! You can say that again! And they clapped their hands in admiration.
Ming Zhugong lowered his head and took a sip of tea gently, and said with a smile in his eyes: "If you don't believe in the sky, you can't grow up, and if you don't believe in the earth, the grass and trees are not big." If you don't believe in the four seasons, the fruit will not grow, and the grain will not grow. People do not stand without faith, and if they do not believe in their words, they will be dissatisfied with their karma. If you believe in it, you can reward it with false words, and if you can reward it with false words, then all of it will be your own house within the Liuhe. Ji Bu promised a thousand gold, and someone sacrificed his life to save him in times of crisis. Liu Shouguang, the emperor of Yan State, broke his word and became fat, and he didn't even accept surrender to the other party! This is my understanding that integrity is a treasure. ”
"Yes, yes, Confucius said that people cannot stand without faith!" Ximen Yun was also sitting far away, and he came to Ming Zhugong's table at some point, and poured wine respectfully for Ming Zhugong, while smiling all over his face, "The first three points are easy to understand." But I don't understand the hardships and hard work. The poor are the hardest, so why can't they get rich? ”
"Good question!" Ming Zhugong glanced at Ximen Yun approvingly, and said, "Yun'er is willing to use his brains and think, and your business ability will not be under your father in the future." ”
"Grandpa Xie's compliment!" Ximen Yun scanned the audience proudly, and at this time, Song Qi was sitting far away from the rostrum and looking over here, "I also have this question because I have been working in Weiguo for a year and have some personal experience and feelings." ”
Ming Zhugong nodded, cleared his throat, and explained with a smile: "The labor I am talking about here includes labor, labor, labor, and heart. The poor are only accustomed to working their bodies, and as for labor, old thinking, and hard work, I don't think so. If you are not hardworking, you are lazy, laziness is the root of poverty, and diligence is the foundation of getting rich. Why is there no long-term poor home in the world? If you are poor, you will think about change, you will become lazy and diligent, and you will become rich and prosperous. Why is there no long-lasting rich home in the world? If you are rich, you will be lazy, and if you are lazy, you will sit and eat empty. ”
When everyone in the room heard this, they once again stood up and applauded. This was an added bonus for them. The applause lasted for a long time, lasting nearly half a cup of tea.
At this time, only the sound of a cloud chime sounded to stop the clouds, and the people in the courtyard all turned their heads to look, and a few people wearing red and green came to the stage at some point, their faces were smeared with flowers, and they couldn't distinguish between men and women, and they sang: "What is the day today, and the good day is with the beautiful scenery." Princes and grandsons, eunuchs and giants. There are many good customers, gathered on my dream island. I wish Grandpa Ming a long life. Blessing is like the East Sea Sea, Shoubi Nanshan pine! The voice was tactful and melodious, and the aftermath lingered, and after three glasses of wine, it was still endless.
The crowd raised their hands and applauded again.
The stage is behind the shadow wall at the entrance of the courtyard, facing the entrance of the hall. Those seated in the courtyard can turn their heads to watch.
They performed a play of peach dedication, which was very exciting.
"This is a play written and acted by Chen Guo's branch." Chao Hu pressed Song Qi's knee and said softly.
Song Qi smiled in surprise and said, "Oh." Well acted! I thought it was a professional theater troupe. ”
"There are several professional theater troupes." Chao Hu smiled slightly, "The Weiguo branch invited the most famous opera troupe, the Green Family Class, from Duo'an Mansion, and the Chen Guo Detachment invited the red-clothed class from Changning City. After the troupe, they will be interspersed with stage performances. Of course, tomorrow is the first day, and the best play will of course be left behind... ”
Since then, the stage has staged a good play written and performed by each semicolon, or singing or dancing, or playing or speaking, which can be described as wonderful and good performances. You sang and I appeared on the stage, and I yelled all night.
