Chapter 86: Engagement

In Mao Dongjun's eyes, what he likes about Germany is its unique artistic atmosphere, where there are world-class music and art academies.

Three years ago, Mao Dongjun, a member of the association's health hall, had some small conflicts with his mentor, gave up his job as a so-called senior health instructor in China, came to Germany alone, and opened a musical instrument store in Berlin.

Over the years, Yangshengtang has been developing its own industry, from all kinds of health training courses, to health clubs with gimmicks such as traditional Chinese medicine conditioning and green health, and even SPA centers for beauty care and professional institutions for plastic surgery, etc., Yangshengtang has expanded its business to all parties and has become a business dragon occupying a place in this field.

But Mao Dongjun didn't like this change very much in his heart.

The flooding pattern of the rising tide inevitably represents a lack of refinement.

Taking the training class of health care as an example, the original tutors were all members of the health care hall, and each tutor took more than a dozen students a year, and later set up branches, opened branches, and expanded the enrollment scale, many new students were only taught by those apprentices brought out by the previous teachers, and the so-called health exercises used to teach were short-term effective things used to fool ordinary people.

Mao Dongjun once asked his mentor what was the point of doing this, and to some extent, wasn't this a lie?

But the teacher told him that the current status quo is determined by the market, not that Yangshengtang wants to engage in "pit and abduction", but that those customers are "Ye Gong Haolong".

He still remembers that his teacher told him at the time that those health skills that can only make people gain a little over the years are not suitable for people's needs at this stage, and now it is the era of "short and fast", and people learn health skills just to seek some self-comfort in the face of the pressure of life, and to find a means to quickly make their hearts comfortable.

These days, who cares if your health skills are effective or not? They just care about whether they feel good about themselves.

And those health clubs, they all exist to help people solve problems. And what is the best regimen?

But if the customers have no problems, then what do we rely on to make a profit? We can only take short-term effective means, this time to solve the problem, after a while the problem will come back, so that the customers can experience the real effect again and again, and come to consume repeatedly.

Those customers will only think that your methods are effective, useful, and magical, and they will be grateful to you. And if you solve their problems at once, they will not think that you have much credit for these problems.

However, despite the seemingly reasonable explanation given by his mentor, Mao Dongjun still couldn't accept all this from his heart. This is also the reason for the conflict between him and his teacher, but this does not mean that he does not respect his teacher, on the contrary, even if he does not agree with the philosophy, he still adheres to many of the teacher's teachings.

After all, what my teacher taught me was practical and useful truths. The market determines the mode of commercial development. In Mao Dongjun's heart, he knew that there was nothing wrong with the businessman doing this, but he would not forget that more than 20 years ago, a group of real health enthusiasts got together, and pursued the freedom and happiness of faith.

Today, that joy is gone. That's why he gave up his achievements in the field over the years and engaged in a profession that completely deviated from his expertise.

Every morning, drink a cup of fragrant coffee, play the guitar, or turn on the stereo in the store and listen to the symphony, this is Mao Dongjun's new life now.

A day earlier, he had received news from the association that he had received a big business and was going to Wolfsburg, Germany, hoping that members from overseas would volunteer to come to the meeting.

The automobile city is not far from Berlin, also in northern Germany, and although there are no direct flights to Berlin in China, members of the Decision Hall have the option of connecting in Frankfurt to Berlin and then to their destination.

It is a very happy thing for Mao Dongjun to be a tour guide for the members of the association who came from afar, and he carefully filled in the contact matters on the association's special website, and carefully made an electronic invitation letter.

In fact, there is not much communication between the various halls of the association, and for the health hall, the decision hall is also a mysterious existence. It does not operate a market-oriented business like Yangshengtang, and Mao Dongjun heard that Decision Hall only provides strategic analysis to some business giants a few times a year, and the revenue of each time is calculated in 100 million yuan.

On this issue, Mao Dongjun has also communicated with other members of the association. Compared with Yangshengtang, the number of people in the Decision Hall is much smaller, and he doesn't understand why a small Decision Hall, the so-called "strategic analysis", can offset the profits that a group of people in the Yangsheng Hall or even an entire market can create.

His mentor once told him that many business giants can spend as much as more than one billion yuan a year on advertising alone, and if these money are spent in the wrong direction, they may have little effect, and in the face of unprecedented and rapid changes in the times, lagging and wrong business decisions may even make a business empire die in an instant.

The correct direction of investment and development is the most important knowledge for making money.

Therefore, it is extremely wise to use 10% of the money to correctly decide how the remaining 90% will be used. This can ensure that 90% of the investment is effective, while striving for long-term profits in the future.

It stands to reason that no one knows themselves better than those business giants themselves, and they should be more suited to self-analysis and make decisions. He remembered asking his teacher such questions.

The teacher just smiled and said to him that it is precisely because they know themselves too well and because their interests are closely related that people will make wrong decisions righteously, and because of the connection of interests, they will worry, impulsive, confused, and blindly enterprising, unable to make correct decisions and control the direction.

Sometimes, what people need is a pair of eyes that can stay out of the way and "know the sky", but of course, this is not something that everyone can have.

It is said that in order to possess this "discerning eye", those in the Judgment Hall underwent extremely arduous and complex training. Mao Dongjun did not know what the specific training content was, but he had always been interested in meeting those people in the Decision Hall.

This time, not only did I hear that nine senior members of the Decision Hall had come, but also the elder of the Association, who was in charge of the affairs of the Decision Hall, He Guicang, personally led the team. After receiving the news, almost without consideration, Mao Dongjun took a long vacation with the clerk, and his people waited on the periphery of Berlin Airport early.

The first person he waited for was a maple gentleman from Deep Water City who claimed to be the Sixth Heavenly Dao Group.

For a long time, Feng Junzi has a style of acting when he is decisive and acting when he acts. After receiving the notice from the association, he briefly dealt with the affairs at hand and took the flight from Guangzhou to Frankfurt. Originally, he had planned to rent a car and go directly to Wolfsburg, but after getting off the plane, he saw an invitation from one of the members of the association's website.

He was fascinated by the background image of the well-made e-invitation—a tower of symphonic instruments with a small man with one eye and a violin in his hand.

If you're in Germany, why don't you visit Berlin, the capital of the arts? After thinking about it, Kaede decided to change his scheduled itinerary and board a flight to Berlin instead.

Mao Dongjun received a reply letter an hour ago, giving the flight number and flight schedule. Doing the math, the other party's flight should have almost arrived at the airport, he waited at the pick-up gate, and when the passengers of the designated flight were prompted to arrive, he held up a sign printed with the association's logo.

The logo with sixteen leaves and an "S" curve is very recognizable, and anyone who is a member of the association can still see it from a wide range of hands, even if they are far apart.

When the visitor walked in front of Mao Dongjun's eyes, he looked the visitor up and down. The man was casually dressed in a pure black antique robe, with long gray hair and thick eyebrows lined with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Hello, I am the Feng Gentleman of the Sixth Heavenly Dao Group of the Decision Hall. The man was expressionless and even a little grim, but he bowed down with a gentlemanly demeanor and extended his right hand in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Mao Dongjun from Yangshengtang. Seeing that the person who came took the initiative to show goodwill, Mao Dongjun also hurriedly handed out his right hand and held it tightly with the other party. There was no trace of ripple in the other party's words, but his hands were hot. Feeling the warmth from the palm of his hand, Mao Dongjun said again, "If you are not in a hurry, I will take you to visit this city." ”

......

Wandering at the door of the Sanhe Labor Market, Sun Xiaolin was extremely restless.

In the past few days, he has completely lost the news of Guan Zhe and Atai.

It stands to reason that there is no reason for him to continue to pay attention to the affairs of these two people, but he really can't clear the doubts in his heart.

The two gods of the Three Rivers are involved in a fight and brawl, but they can get out of the matter unexpectedly. Moreover, the other party seems to be helping them behind their backs for no reason, and most importantly, the price paid by the other party is extremely unequal to Atai's three-day detention period.

He never believed that these efforts came from friendship and affection. But for what, he also wanted to find the answer from the two.

However, since he saw Yaowen sending the two of them off the bus at the Mikawa Market that day, the two seemed to have completely disappeared from the world of Mikawa. For several days, he did not find any news from them. Throughout the Three Rivers Market, no one knows where they are going.

Could it be that I spied some of their secrets that made them deliberately hide?

Sun Xiaolin is not idle and idle, in fact, he is very busy these days, just now, before coming to the Sanhe Labor Market, he also checked the information of dozens of monitoring probes, just to help a rich lady find a lost pet dog.

This time, he passed by the Three Rivers Market, and he also inquired along the way by working together.

However, there is no difference from before, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

He thought about it, and suddenly thought of the bazaar and Sun Changbin, so he called Sun Changbin.

"Hey, Chang Bin? right...... It's me, Sun Xiaolin. Have you seen the two boys who knocked out your front teeth last time...... What? You're still inviting them to dinner...... Is there a car to pick you up?

Listening to Sun Changbin on the other end of the phone about the meeting with Atai and Guan Zhe not long ago, he was full of doubts, and after listening to Sun Changbin's story, after putting down the phone, Sun Xiaolin's face became even more strange.

It seems that these two boys have completely changed their faces. Sun Xiaolin thought, but where did these two boys go now?
