Chapter 016 Pig in Water (Part 1)
Today is Thursday, tomorrow is Friday, and the market will be closed for the next two days. Next Monday will be July 1, the day when Hai Minyuan will start. Zhou Nan is looking forward to the upcoming first trading day in July.
When he got home, he took a shower and washed away the stinky sweat. He didn't cook at night. He went out to find a barbecue stall and ordered two bottles of beer and ten yuan of meat skewers. He was very comfortable.
After filling his stomach and finishing things in the stock market, his mood became very relaxed. Everything was expected and under control, and he slowly "walked" towards the direction and goal of his planned life. As long as he worked steadily
, step by step, it is not far away to rise again and create glory again.
Of course, in this life, he has greater goals and ambitions than in his previous life.
After spending more than an hour at a roadside barbecue stall, he slowly strolled home. Because it is a coastal city, Haidu City in 1996 was actually quite prosperous. In the summer under the darkness, this city of lust was full of lights and lights.
Submerged in a prosperous sea of colorful neon lights, cars and people flowed around you, and the air was filled with the smell of salty sea breeze.
Passing by a bookstore on the roadside, Zhou Nan randomly bought a magazine called "Golden Age", went home and lay on the sofa to read it. Not long after, there was an article that resonated strongly with him, even in his heart.
Spasms.
"...Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, 'officials' and 'businessmen' have been separated at the upper and lower ends of the social vertical system composed of the four major strata of 'scholar-farmer-industrial-merchant'. They are the two groups with the farthest social distance and the largest class gap.
A large group. But the dialectic of history is that the two major strata of 'officials' and 'merchants' often overflow this structural framework and achieve the most intimate contact outside the rigid system, thereby creating a new world in the process of historical evolution.
Shortcuts. When we examine businessmen under this dual framework, we will find that this inherently deficient social class has always existed under a huge shadow. This shadow is 'official'. It is like a huge identity prefix.
, modifies the face of the merchant, guides the direction of the merchant, and at the same time controls the fate of the merchant. I attribute the historical existence given to the merchant to the 'official and business tradition'..."
Yes, official business is not only a shortcut to success, but also a necessity for success. This is the key to why some people with powerful backgrounds can become rich overnight, and many people who have become rich are eager to gain power and wealth. Zhou Nan in his previous life,
The fall of the genius, being framed by Chen Xiaoning and betrayed by the villain Pan Hu are only superficial factors. The real and deep-seated factor is that he has no backer and does not bother to find one. As a result, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The ruthless facts prove that
, a commercial building that lacks power support has a shallow foundation and will fall down as soon as it is pushed down.
At the thought of this, Zhou Nan felt a silent sting in his heart. However, this sting did not last long before it was replaced by endless confidence and determination.
…
…
When he got up on Friday morning, Zhou Nan took a long-distance bus and rushed to his hometown in Qing'an City. Next Tuesday, July 2, his cousin Zhou Wenjing got engaged. No matter what, he had to rush back.
And this trip has a very special meaning for Zhou Nan. Because he is about to "reunite" his middle school classmate at the engagement ceremony of his cousin Zhou Wenjing, who later followed him to start a business and successfully became the vice president of Feiteng Group, colluding with
Chen Xiaoning, a disciple of a high-ranking cadre, betrayed his subordinate Pan Hu.
Pan Hu and Zhou Nan were classmates for three years in junior high school and three years in high school, but they had no contact during school. The reason is simple. Zhou Nan has excellent academic performance and is the child of a cadre, while Pan Hu has poor academic performance and comes from a worker's family. He graduated from college.
Later, Zhou Nan returned to his hometown with his parents to attend his cousin's engagement ceremony, and accidentally met Pan Hu, who was attending as a relative of Zhou Wenjing's fiancé.
The old classmates reunited after a long absence, so naturally there was a lot of intimacy. The two became familiar with each other. Later, Zhou Nan started his own business. Pan Hu, who worked as a worker in Haidu Chemical Factory, quit his job and devoted himself to helping Zhou Nan conquer the world. In the early days of starting his own business, Pan Hu became a person whom Zhou Nan trusted very much.
Left and right arms.
But a person like Pan Hu is destined to be an ambitious person. He is not willing to live under Zhou Nan forever, let alone work only for Zhou Nan forever. Therefore, driven by the desire for profit, and under Chen Xiaoning's repeated "seduce", Pan Hu finally
Still, he accepted Chen Xiaoning's "cooperation proposal" and secretly colluded with Chen Xiaoning to carefully weave an invisible trap over a year to lure Zhou Nan into falling in step by step.
I'm afraid Pan Hu never dreamed that Zhou Nan, who was betrayed by him, would be reborn more than ten years ago and stand at a certain key life node in his previous life.
Goodbye Pan Hu... It may be a good choice to treat the other person with his own way... A cold smile quietly appeared on the corner of Zhou Nan's mouth.
As the bus was speeding on the highway, Zhou Nan thought about lightning in his mind, and his mood gradually became calmer.
After getting off the bus at Qing'an City Long-distance Bus Station, he transferred to the shuttle bus bound for Taishan Town. Before boarding the bus, he bought a copy of "Qing'an Evening News" to kill time on the road. Unintentionally, he
An inconspicuous piece of news was found on the page: "Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Liu Xiangdong inspected the city's cultural industry."
As soon as the name Liu Xiangdong flashed into Zhou Nan's eyes, an idea flashed in his mind, and he became faintly excited. According to the memory of his previous life, this member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Qianhai City admired his father.
Although he was an old leader who promoted Zhou Ningyu, his father Zhou Ningyu never forgot to visit him every year before the Spring Festival. It was just a courtesy and there was no in-depth communication.
After the official turmoil in Haidu City not long ago, Liu Xiangdong was appointed at the critical moment and returned to Haidu City as the Municipal Party Committee Secretary... What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this was for Zhou Ningyu and the Zhou family...
Zhou Nan's eyes flashed with determination, and he secretly made up his mind.
At 11:30 noon, Zhou Nan got off the car from Taishan Town. The village where his hometown is not far from the town, about one kilometer away, he decided to walk there slowly.
Despite the scorching sun, his steps were extremely light and his mood was calm and comfortable.
It took him less than half an hour to walk the one kilometer rural road. When he entered the gate of his grandfather's house, the family happened to be having lunch. Seeing Zhou Nan enter, Zhou Nan's grandmother Zhang immediately stood up and greeted with a smile, "Nan Nan
Here you go, why don’t you tell your family when you come back, so your uncle can ride his motorcycle to the town to pick you up."
Grandpa Zhou Yihe also smiled heartily, "Come on, Nannan, go wash your face quickly and come over for dinner."
Zhou Ningyu frowned but didn't say anything. Yue Ping smiled and came over and pushed Zhou Nan, "Nan Nan, look at how sweaty you are, go wash up and come over for dinner."
…
…
After dinner, Yue Ping cut another watermelon soaked in the well water. The family sat around under the loofah stand, eating the watermelon in the cool air and chatting.
Zhou Ningyu was about to "question" Zhou Nan and ask him where he had been in the past two days, but before he could speak, Zhou Nan suddenly came over and said softly, "Dad, you should go to Qing'an this time."
