Chapter 18: Phoenix Nirvana (5)
Some people compare the telephone to the string of a kite, no matter how far you go, the line is always in the hands of the people who care about you. FROM THE HUNKY SIZE OF MY FIRST PHONE, THE NOKIA 5110, TO TODAY'S LG, THERE ARE COUNTLESS PHONES THAT I HAVE USED IN THAT TIME.
What I especially miss is the phone that was lost in Hong Kong, Samsung, the specific model I forgot, it was a "pearl" storm day, I stood in front of a building in Wan Chai, confused and hesitant, the pedestrians who hurried by and the Cantonese that I didn't understand reminded me that I was in a city that did not belong to me, and when I got through the customs, I found that my mobile phone and wallet were lost in that once familiar and unfamiliar city, Hong Kong and me are a station on the journey of life, and I and Hong Kong are just a hurried passerby.
When I was in college, a teacher told me: "Life is a long station, there are too few people who can stick to their lives, remember to put the scenery of life every journey in the bottom of your heart." "Looking back at the past 30 years of life, look at the road that has been walked in the past 30 years, some people, some things to be treasured in the bottom of my heart, there was a time when I loved to listen to the song "Accompany the King to Drunk and Laugh 3,000 Fields", but unfortunately, now wine and I have been a luxury, in the early stage of the serious illness, I really couldn't bear the temptation of alcohol, I tasted a sip of wine, and the result quickly confirmed the doctor's judgment, and I almost didn't go into the emergency room again.
Back to the hotel, asked for a bottle of red wine, after taking a shower and sitting on the sofa thinking about the project, the red wine bottomed out, I also figured it out, Jiale is right, so far, giving up is the best choice, otherwise you can only fall into the quagmire. Open the notebook, draft the project situation and send it to the leaders, and the rest can only be left to the company to judge.
Lying in bed, what can I do, only reading, I have developed a good habit of reading at that time, but unlike now when I read history books, psychology, and people, most of the books I read at that time were sales cases and books on the way of company management.
Reading is the process of transforming other people's thoughts into one's own thoughts, and reading can constantly improve one's own ideological system, and finally reach the realm of being able to deal with complex things more objectively. But there are two sides to everything, and the more you read the book, the more you naturally think about it. It will also make people think before and after when facing opportunities, and they will miss the opportunity as a result.
A few days ago, I read a book with such an interpretation: "China has been up and down for 5,000 years, there has never been a literati who can be the founding emperor, the founder has always been either a wealthy family or a ruffian, the imagination is right, being the founding emperor is tantamount to a big gamble, the wealthy family gambles, not afraid of losing, the ruffians and hooligans have nothing, and they are not afraid of losing, which also reflects this society, most of the people living in the middle class come on the road of studying, studying and going to university, solve the problem of food and clothing, and go to the well-off"
The next morning, I was woken up by the ringing of my phone. Pick up the phone, is the tender committee notice, asked to a hotel conference room meeting to announce the bidding results, I opened the notebook, the company has not yet feedback, so the relevant leaders of the company called to explain the situation, in the face of this situation, the leaders did not have clear instructions, everyone understands that the possibility of a Jedi counterattack is almost zero.
When I got to the conference room, the result was announced, exactly as I already knew. Just left a small tail, our company as an alternative bidder, if the first winning bidder and the user side of the cooperation breakdown, then we are the second choice, for our company, this is also a delaying strategy, we have done some work from all aspects in the early stage, and the company's strength is impeccable, the implementation ability is strong, the user here is also quite scruples about our operation in Qinghe, afraid that we will repeat the old tricks, the same tactics to be used again. It's a pity that the environment of the battlefield has changed too much this time, and the meaning of fighting again has been lost.
I don't know why, but when the meeting was over, I suddenly wanted to provoke Company E. I walked straight up to Director Dou and took the initiative to stretch out my hand: "Congratulations!" Mr. Dou. He didn't expect me to make such a move, and his expression was a little surprised, "Thank you, thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was not appropriate, and added: "We still have a chance to cooperate in the future." "But this game is too short, it's not interesting, let's have another game." When I said this, I had no brain consciousness at all, and I didn't know how I could say such a sentence, so that Director Dou didn't understand, but just reluctantly agreed: "Okay, okay." "Hearing him do this, I thought it was so funny that I almost didn't laugh out loud. Forget it, if you don't understand it, you'll see you in the next fight.
Recently, a friend from the past contacted me through the Internet, mentioned my memoir, and tactfully told me that he hoped that my writing tone would be more subtle. Indeed, I only care about running in the tunnel of time and space and swimming in the long river of memory, but I ignore the feelings of many friends and buddies in the past, especially some business war plots, and then related to many friends who are still struggling in their careers, which is really inappropriate.
In fact, my body has always been pretty good, and I have a solid foundation, but that failure caused my heart to rise, and I was watered by the rain during camping in the mountains, and I couldn't afford to get sick. Many friends and brothers were very concerned, and Yongli and her mother also visited the hospital often, and it was about one afternoon in June, while I was still lying in bed, Yongli's father walked into the room.
The arrival of his old man caught me a little off guard, I didn't expect him to come over, since the end of the Qinghe project, I saw his old man more often, but most of them chatted, talked about some of their thoughts on current affairs and personal thoughts, he was also a soldier, and he had a lot of experience in the art of war and Chinese history during his military service, and left a lot of articles. After transferring to a local job and starting to engage in politics, he worked hard and conscientiously, and it was not easy to get to where he is today.
"××, do you feel better?" The old man held my body up and helped me raise the bed. "Two days ago× Minister was going to come to see you, and there have been a lot of meetings in the ministry." Secretary Jiang said while putting down the flower basket in his hand. "It's been a lot better in the past two days, thank you, Uncle ×." "Young people, don't have a burden on your mind, it's normal for people to eat grains and get sick. Once sick, the body also gets a release. "Mental burden? That way, I don't know how to answer. Later, I understood why his old man said this, people in officialdom, illness is also a knowledge, some political crossroads, illness is the best way to avoid choice, so there are more visits, and over time such a topic will arise.
Chatting with the old man is pleasant, it should be said that he is a very knowledgeable person, every time he faces something, he can always quote scriptures, always point out a direction for you, about ten minutes of chatting, Secretary Jiang went out to answer the phone halfway, the old man said: "Get better quickly, go out with me for a walk." At that moment, I didn't understand the meaning of "go out for a walk", I thought it meant to go out to bask in the sun and breathe in the fresh air, so I agreed to take a sip. Looking back now, maybe at that time, the old man had already felt the breath of the mountain rain coming...
