Lin Ming's body was severely shaken!

Both Zhou Wennian's tone and his eyes seemed to be explaining something to himself.

It shouldn’t even be described as ‘explanation’, but a warning!

It's just that due to his identity, there are some things he can't say.

But Lin Ming could roughly guess a few things.

Zhou Wennian is using cars and people to describe something!

Although Lin Ming developed extremely quickly, his level of life was not high.

Take the official example.

The most powerful people he came into contact with were Zhou Wennian, Xiang Weidong, and Zhou Mingli.

Although Zhou Wennian once held the position of feudal official of Donglin Province, that was only once.

Zhou Mingli is now just the top leader of Landao City, not even at the provincial level.

The strongest one is Xiang Weidong, who is about to be transferred to the Imperial Capital.

However.

According to Lin Ming's business map, Xiang Weidong alone might not be able to protect himself!

Even if Zhou Mingli, who will definitely be transferred to Donglin Province in the future, is added, it is still not enough!

Zhou Wennian must have known this, but he still said this to himself.

This shows how deep this pool of water is!

"Grandpa, what should I do?"

Lin Ming looked at Zhou Wennian eagerly and asked for advice.

"Do you think you are stronger, or others?"

Zhou Wennian asked: "In other words, do you think your own power is reliable, or do you think the power of others is reliable?"

Lin Ming was shocked again.

He was shocked by Zhou Wennian's keen insight.

He is indeed a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years.

I'm afraid he has already guessed what he was thinking just now.

"I want to protect myself with my own strength, but I have to be able to do it," Lin Ming said.

"You can do it! And you have already done it!" Zhou Wennian said.

Lin Ming was even more confused: "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"charitable!"

Zhou Wennian picked up the teapot and poured Lin Ming a cup of tea.

Lin Ming didn't care about being rude or not, he just looked at Zhou Wenian eagerly.

His city is quite deep.

But when it comes to things at this level, he can only rely on Zhou Wennian for guidance.

"To be precise, charity is just one of them."

Zhou Wennian said: "Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself."

"Some people remember gratitude, and some people are unjust."

"And unrighteous people are often greedy. They are like a deep well that can never be filled!"

Lin Ming listened carefully, not missing a word.

"You give someone a piece of candy today, and tomorrow they want ten pieces of candy, a hundred pieces of candy the day after tomorrow, a thousand pieces of candy the day after tomorrow... One day, everything that belongs to you will be emptied out, and all your efforts will be gone.

I only make wedding dresses for others."

Zhou Wennian said slowly: "I say, listen, don't think too much, don't think nonsense, don't think too hard."

Lin Ming took a deep breath.

Just listen to Zhou Wennian continue to say: "Why do people need to eat? Because food contains nutrients and various necessary things to keep everyone alive."

"Vegetables are cheap, but people have to eat them. If they are lacking, they will not survive."

"Expect vegetables to be replaced by something else?"

"I can tell you this, nothing can do it!"

"Even if it does exist, the most fundamental source of this kind of thing must be the vegetables themselves!"

"Now you are not the one eating vegetables, but the vegetables!"

Although Zhou Wennian has always used vague metaphors to express it.

But Lin Ming was still able to figure it out very quickly.

"If you want nothing to threaten you, then you must have the ability to make them afraid to threaten you!"

"Remember, it's not that I can't threaten you, but I don't dare to threaten you!"

"Then the question is, what do you do to prevent the other party from threatening you?"

Lin Ming suddenly fell into deep thought.

Violence?

This is definitely not advisable.

money?

When will my wealth reach that level?

Zhou Wennian obviously didn't mean this, otherwise he wouldn't have said this to himself.

What else?

right?

I have never thought about developing into politics.

From the beginning, Lin Ming did not want to impose too many restrictions, otherwise the word 'businessman' would be completely meaningless.

"What on earth is it?" Lin Ming murmured to himself.

Zhou Wennian did not point it out directly, but just sat there quietly, as if he intended to test Lin Ming.

I don’t know how much time has passed!

"Charity! Grandpa, you just mentioned charity!"

Lin Ming slapped his thigh fiercely: "That's right... because the people in those impoverished mountainous areas are in need, that's why what I do is called 'charity'!"

"That is to say...only after others' needs for me reach a certain level, those eyes hidden in the dark will not dare to put their eyes on me! Let alone threaten me!"

Hear this.

Zhou Wenian’s eyes suddenly lit up!

"clever!"

As if out of excitement, Zhou Wennian slapped Lin Ming hard on the shoulder.

"You brat, others say that you have been degenerate, neglected your job, and even domestically abused your wife and daughter!"

"Old man, I don't understand. How could you, a smart person like you, reach that level?"

Lin Ming's old face turned red: "Ahem...Grandpa, in fact, these are all facts. I did do a lot of stupid things back then, but maybe it was because of those things that I woke up!"

"Okay, the past is in the past, what I like is you now."

Zhou Wennian waved his hand and said, "What you just said is indeed correct. Only when others need you will they not make plans for you."

"The more needs you have, the more people will care about you, and the fewer people will dare to threaten you!"

"But as I said before, this need is not only reflected in charity. Heartless people will not care about life and death in impoverished mountainous areas. If your goal is only charity, then what is before you

This road still has a long way to go.”

Lin Ming pondered slightly: "Grandpa, are you referring to the various special medicines under Phoenix Pharmaceuticals?"

"All kinds? Where do they come from? Isn't Phoenix Pharmaceuticals just a special cold medicine?" Zhou Wennian asked rhetorically.

"I'm not satisfied with you, old man. We developed a special athlete's foot ointment years ago. It is as effective as special cold medicine for treating athlete's foot, corns and other problems." Lin Ming said truthfully.

It's no secret that an effective athlete's foot cream will soon be on the market.

Besides, he also knew that Zhou Wennian was kind to him from the bottom of his heart.

Having said it to this extent, it would be too shameless for me to still hide it.

Lin Ming originally thought that Zhou Wennian would be surprised after he mentioned the special effects athlete's foot ointment.
