Although the unexpected encounter between Ning Weimin and Jiang Hui is essentially a comedy of life, it seems that God deliberately arranged the embarrassment for it.
Ning Weimin did not perform the slap-in-the-face scenes that everyone loves to see, like those protagonists in Xiaobai novels who take pleasure in showing off.
From beginning to end, he never revealed the truth about his "white dragon fish suit" in front of Jiang Hui and her cousin.
Instead, he was truly "sympathized with".
But it is undeniable that this incident had a profound impact on Ning Weimin.
It was as if God had given him a revelation that directly changed his mood and state of mind.
He, who was originally lazy and indulged in the comfortable life of the city after returning, suddenly found a new goal.
Taking it as one's duty to start a family, build a business, and multiply the family, one becomes positive again and works hard to become stronger.
That’s right! Have your own direct blood relatives!
For Ning Weimin, an orphan who has been alone for two lifetimes, this is such a tempting prospect.
He doesn't want too many children, at least two, preferably three or four.
Moreover, both sons and daughters will get married when they grow up, and then they will become a big family of more than a dozen people.
Of course he wants to be a good father, and even more so, a good grandfather, so he can't take care of his children and raise them.
Not only does he want to consider the education of his children, but he also hopes to ensure that they will be rich and live freely for several generations, so his current net worth is not enough.
Needless to say, naturally you can't be lazy, so you have to keep running.
This time it's not for myself, but for my wife and children.
As Chinese people, don’t most people who want to be parents have such thoughts?
This is human nature.
So Ning Weimin seemed like a different person. As soon as the decoration of the Liulichang store was completed, he turned around and changed his appearance.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into that business celebrity again wearing a brand name, a wrist watch, and even his lighter was made of 18K gold.
This naturally caused the neighbors in Shan'er Hutong to stir up excitement as if they were experiencing an earthquake.
Ning Weimin not only shattered the rumors that had been spread out of hatred for the rich some time ago, but also once again established his image as shining like gold in the minds of his neighbors.
It also made those neighbors realize that gossiping about others behind their backs will not make their own lives better.
And the master who always hates others for having them and laughs at others for not having them is the big fool who really wastes his time and only covets others.
In fact, not to mention the neighbors, even Ning Weimin's master Kang Shude was surprised by the sudden and huge changes in his apprentice.
In the eyes of the old man, his apprentice is good at everything.
The only problem is that his brain is too active, he always comes up with ideas, and he has endless fantastic ideas, so he always surprises people inadvertently.
He is even more unscrupulous in doing things. He dares to do it when he has an idea, and he bites off more than he can chew.
But having said that, after getting along for a long time, the old man has already developed enough understanding and confidence in the quality of this apprentice.
At least he knew that Ning Weimin had rules and regulations and knew how to plan for the future.
When doing it, you must have thought about what to do in the worst case scenario.
Even if you fail, you will never let yourself fall into a difficult situation that you are unable to cope with and cause big trouble from which you cannot get out.
Therefore, if Ning Weimin didn't tell the old man and didn't ask, he would avoid being upset and worrying about him in vain.
How about talking about Master?
Kang Shude is really open-minded and has enough determination to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. This is his ability as a master.
But this wouldn't be possible if it were someone else.
If it were anyone else, anyone who has dealt with Ning Weimin for a long time would have to have a strong heart, otherwise he would be unable to withstand the mental stimulation from this kid over and over again.
Take Huo Yanping as an example.
There is no need to say much about the quality of this chief secretary, and he also values Ning Weimin very much.
At home, they are paying close attention to Ning Weimin's situation through relevant personnel from the embassy in Japan and special departments.
But even so, every time I see Ning Weimin in China, I communicate with this guy face to face.
Director Huo was still inevitably shocked by Ning Weimin's latest changes, as well as his new ideas and plans.
To be honest, he was often excited and gratified by Ning Weimin's career progress, and at the same time had higher expectations.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried about whether Ning Weimin was taking too big and too fast a step and whether he was acting too radically.
In the end, you will be trapped in the contradiction of not knowing whether to encourage Ning Weimin to be bold and enterprising and seize opportunities, or to persuade Ning Weimin to slow down and proceed cautiously.
Like this time, it's still the same.
After successfully "restoring human form", the first thing Ning Weimin did was to call Director Huo's secretary Peng Yuan.
After making an appointment with him, he visited his home and reported his situation to Director Huo who took time out of his busy schedule.
And when these two people started chatting, it was like they had been friends for years, and they completely forgot about the time.
Ning Weimin first described to Huo Yanping in detail the social situation in Japan where consumerism has begun to spread, people generally worship money, and are gradually becoming extravagant.
Then he put forward his own views and opinions on the future trends and impacts of Japanese stocks and real estate prices rising, the economic bubble having truly blown up, and industrial manufacturing beginning to hollow out.
After talking about the general economic situation in Japan, Ning Weimin also talked about the optimistic situation that his trolley suitcases are very popular in Japan through Yamato Sightseeing.
And what happened when he happened to meet a cadre of the Light Industry Bureau on a plane to Tokyo who was on a business trip overseas to look for cooperation projects.
Finally, Ning Weimin bluntly told Director Huo that he came back this time mainly to accomplish three things.
First, I want to reach cooperation with the Beijing City Light Industry Bureau as soon as possible on the trolley suitcase project.
We hope to use OEM and OEM methods to expand the production of trolley suitcases, thereby expanding export trade to Japan.
In this way, while solving the operating difficulties of some factories under the Light Industry Bureau, it can also earn more foreign exchange for the country.
The second is that he wants to talk to several state-owned travel agencies with certain strength.
Let’s see if these travel agencies are willing to work with Japanese travel agencies to develop domestic tourism routes.
If possible, he is willing to act as a middleman to connect him with Yamato Tourism.
In his view, there is no doubt that this is a big cake that can create huge benefits immediately.
Places like Beijing, Chengde, and Shenyang that have royal palaces, gardens, and famous scenic spots can be planned together to design a tourist route focusing on palace culture.
Especially for the retired elderly people in Japan who have the most spending power now, it is an attractive tourism project.
Thirdly, he also participated in and contributed to the filming of the movie "Li Xianglan".
Its purpose is not only to let the Chinese and Japanese people never forget the pain of the war, but also to remind the Japanese people to cherish the existing co-productions. Through this film, the Japanese right-wingers who try to deny the crimes of the war will wake up.
He also hopes to use this form of co-production to create a model for filmmakers from both countries to share their needs in film and television production.
He believes that such an operating model may be able to achieve the goal of using Japanese funds and technology to cultivate Chinese talents and ultimately improve the level of domestic film and television production.
He even wanted to take this as an opportunity to try the reverse export of culture.
For example, through cooperation with some Japanese film and television companies, media and publishers, domestic movies, TV series, and publications are translated into Japanese and then broadcast and sold in Japan.
In this way, it can not only earn foreign exchange for the country, but also expand the influence of Chinese culture on Japan.
In short, this means the same thing.
Ning Weimin thought that since Japan had made a fortune.
Then we should make full use of the current good situation and take advantage of Japan's glory.
We should try our best to gather more Japanese wool from all aspects to strengthen ourselves.
Of course, at the same time, he also admitted it honestly.
These are the things he wants to accomplish, especially the last two.
Because you need to deal with some special departments and obtain approval before you can actually implement it.
Based on his personal ability, it is a bit unachievable.
I'm afraid that Director Huo needs some help to make this possible.
So this time he came not only to listen to Director Huo's opinions, but also to shamelessly seek help from Director Huo.
Can these last two things be done?
If it can be done, how can it be done?
What to do first and what to do later?
Who should be contacted for what matters, and what matters should be solved with priority?
What things don’t need to be rushed and can be postponed temporarily?
These issues all require Director Huo's face-to-face guidance and guidance.
It has to be said that what Ning Weimin said was completely beyond Director Huo's expectations.
Although Director Huo had some knowledge of Ning Weimin's situation overseas through his own information channels.
But the information he knew was basically limited to how this guy ran the Ginza Dan Palace.
Director Huo knew that he had encountered some difficulties, and he also knew that he had made the restaurant prosperous again before he came back.
However, he was not aware of Ning Weimin's other activities in Japan.
Originally, he thought that when Ning Weimin came to him, he would mainly talk about the management of Ginza Tan Palace, and maybe he would show off.
After all, the restaurant has now returned to a business level of 6 million yen per day, and its revenue in a month is nearly 180 million yen.
This is equivalent to the turnover of twenty restaurants of the same size in China, and it is indeed worthy of praise.
But who would have thought that this boy didn't say a word about the restaurant, and all he talked about was other business.
And both are bigger business plans than just running a restaurant.
It may even involve the planning of an industry, and may have a certain impact on the future direction of relations between the two countries.
How could this keep him from being surprised and moved?
With such a brilliant plan, it is not enough to describe Ning Weimin as "eating from the bowl and looking at the pot".
Director Huo had to admit that Ning Weimin's understanding of politics, economics and international relations was indeed unique.
Moreover, he also remains quite rational and clear-headed on certain important issues involving the relations between the two countries.
From the perspective of the overall situation, it has even surpassed many experts in foreign affairs and has reached the height of advance planning.
It is very worthy of the attention and reference of the foreign affairs department.
So even he couldn't deny that he was surprised, but his heart was already burning hot with Ning Weimin's running thoughts and idealistic long-term plans.
"You really know how to surprise me. I thought you came here today to talk to me about your restaurant and how you opened the eyes of the Japanese and captured their stomachs with palace dishes. Who admits it?
Do you think you have such a big appetite? Are you asking me for hard food? Good guy, you really shocked me. You have to do foreign tourism and export movies and TV series? Do you know,
How many people are staring at these things? You, a young man, don’t care how difficult the questions you gave me are, but I gave you these. You can swallow them on your own?"
Ning Weimin has been listening carefully, knowing that this is not only a beating, but also an assessment and a questioning.
He responded without hesitation or flinching.
"Leader, I'm not greedy, I just really want to do something. After all, I have gone out, and I have certain resources at home and abroad. I have this advantage and condition. If we see our high-quality cultural resources being wasted in vain
, then am I not a heartless fool? If these resources can be effectively used, and the country can benefit while also promoting the development of our industry and continuing to strengthen ourselves, why not do it? "
"Besides, I don't want to take all the benefits in my own hands, I just want to promote these things as soon as possible. This will make it easier for more people to benefit from it. For things like foreign tourism, I am really just an introducer.
.If the negotiation is successful, it will promote the overall progress of the industry and more people can participate. And I can only benefit from the catering aspect through Tan Palace."
"I also have the export agency rights in film and television culture. I just don't want our stuff to be sold to foreigners at a low price, so that Japan can take it back and sell it domestically at a very low price. So I don't want to take away the meat in other people's mouths. A few more circulation links will have no impact on me. I can even advance money to purchase the relevant copyrights and bear the cost of translation myself, as long as I am the last person to negotiate terms with foreigners. In short, I assure you , the wool I earn must come from ‘foreign’ people.”
After saying these words, Ning Weimin couldn't help but chuckle confidently.
Even Peng Yuan, who was listening in, was affected and nodded frequently.
As a result, Director Huo became more and more pleased and felt energetic.
Although he himself was a little unsure for a while, whether he could help Ning Weimin with these two things and clear the obstacles ahead for him.
But he was indeed reassured by Ning Weimin's starting point and purpose.
Besides, he is not even in his seventies or eighties.
He is still motivated and believes that nothing in this world is impossible, only unimaginable.
He believes that no matter what you do, you must first dare to think about it before you can finally realize it.
That’s why I appreciate Ning Weimin from the bottom of my heart
In his opinion, even if Ning Weimin behaves unconventionally, he is indeed a bit whimsical.
But it is far better than those people who don't even dare to think about it and only know how to eat what is ready in front of them.
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
How big a person's heart is, how big his achievements will be.
Ning Weimin is a thoughtful person, so he can do great things.
In this way, with joy and appreciation, Director Huo poured tea for Ning Weimin with his own hands, giving him a not-so-clear euphemistic promise.
Even after happily ending the conversation and having a pleasant meal, he condescended and personally sent Ning Weimin outside the hospital.
It was a coincidence that when they were walking out together, they bumped into the fat girl who was good friends with Huo Xin and came to the door with her director husband carrying gifts.
But this time, even the fat girl known as the "well-bred scoundrel" didn't dare to make any mistakes and embarrass Ning Weimin on the spot.
On the contrary, both she and the fifth-generation director seemed to be deflated.
Under the extremely shocked gaze, they watched in disbelief as Director Huo, who had a slightly red face and had clearly drunk a lot of wine, stood outside the hospital with a smile and shook hands with Ning Weimin again and again.
He also seriously told his driver to deliver Ning Weimin to his doorstep. ()
