Because of his previous active disaster relief efforts and outstanding performance, Wu Dong received commendations at the provincial and municipal levels and was invited to the capital to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Wu Dong gave the opportunity to fellow doctors, as well as Lei Hu, a representative elected by veterans, and others.
By the way, after the Capital Olympics, China embarked on a wave of crazy economic growth, which was the time for all walks of life to make great achievements.
Ahem, of course at this time the entire world is suffering from the subprime mortgage crisis started by the United States, and the economic situation is not optimistic.
As soon as it enters and exits, it is no wonder that China quickly pushed out its position as the second largest economy and started a frenzied pursuit of the dominance of the United States.
Wu Dong naturally also has some ideas!
As the club team dominates the Chinese Super League, the beverage factory, as a jersey advertising sponsor, has naturally entered a state of explosive growth.
Especially in the province, sales skyrocketed, and it soon became a well-known beverage brand among fans.
Fortunately, Wu Dong and his brother were well prepared, and the beverage factory expanded its production and capacity in an orderly manner. Faced with the sudden increase in sales, there was no rush.
The sales volume in January has expanded from nearly one million at the beginning to tens of millions in one breath, and it is still rising rapidly.
Advertising slogans for nutritional drinks and health drinks spread throughout China.
Just like the original Wanda, the title sponsor of the Chinese Super League leader is not only well-known nationwide, but at least it is well-known among fans and pseudo-fans.
That alone saves a lot of advertising money.
No wonder those well-known real estate companies got rich later and tried their best to buy teams one by one and fill them with stars.
Because they were busy with factory expansion and other business matters, Wu Dong and his brother only went back to their hometown and county for a few days.
Then, several creditors with aggressive faces came to the door, holding several loan shark notes and demanding that the brothers repay the money directly.
Wu Dong was also speechless. He had already asked for help to pay off his family's debts. Even the tens of thousands he owed for building a house were all paid later.
I don’t know what my father wants to do, but to borrow loan sharks from outside?
He asked his father directly, how should he repay the money?
I just glanced at it and saw that the principal of 30,000 yuan would have to pay back 18,000 yuan in interest in less than half a year. I don’t know what my father was thinking.
The father remained silent, and when the gang of debt collectors became impatient, he bluntly stated that he would sell the basement where the family's garage was located so that nothing like this would happen again.
Wu Dong felt nothing but disappointment.
Naturally, he wouldn't care about a few moneylenders. It would be too easy to get rid of them. Otherwise, a few big men with sinister faces would not dare to be too loud in front of Wu Dong.
But, with my father like this, I'm afraid it will be useless no matter how much he helps.
Wu Dong didn't stop him. Fortunately, my brother had something to do and wasn't at home during the trip, otherwise there would have been another disturbance.
As for the mother, she had no idea of getting involved.
She knew that the two brothers were getting along well in the urban area and that they had a large building near the County No. 1 Middle School, so she didn't care about it at all.
Of course, it can be seen that I am still very unhappy because my father is so unreliable.
There was no fuss or abuse, and the atmosphere at home remained low pressure. When Wu Dong left, the garage and basement were sold for just 60,000 yuan.
The mother ran directly to work, obviously not paying attention to the matter.
Anyway, I don’t know what my father thinks?
Isn't it clear that when the family's disappointment in him reaches a certain level, the family will probably break up.
When he left, he naturally gave his mother a sum of money and also helped her take care of her body.
He didn't use any medicinal foods, but directly used powerful methods to assist with acupuncture and massage to dredge qi and blood and clean out impurities. With his current strength, he was completely able to do it.
Although my father didn't do it personally, during those few days at home, he relaxed his aura.
It was like a cave-like environment. After my father stayed there for a few days, he was greatly relieved both physically and mentally, which naturally had considerable benefits for the body.
It's not a big deal, but the only people who can help him patiently with acupuncture and massage are the blood relatives around him.
When we treat patients in the clinic, we always treat them according to their physical conditions and let them go after they have been treated to a certain level.
The subsequent conditioning and warming consisted of drinking various nutritious drinks and doing appropriate exercise, which was quite effective. This idea gradually spread among the patients.
I met with the office staff who stayed in my hometown and county, listened to their work reports, and after giving some guidance and adjustments, I asked the person in charge to help investigate my father's recent movements and the gang of debt collectors.
In fact, Wu Dong himself also felt that it was a bit baffling.
It seems that there are suddenly more businesses like pawnshops on the streets.
Damn it, his first impression was quite strange. Isn't this pawn shop something that only existed in the old society?
Why, now it appears openly on the street?
To be honest, this kind of business is simply the best place to sell stolen goods.
Even with his status at this time, he was co-opted into the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, and he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Thinking of some of the things his uncle's cousins told him, I can only lament that the world has changed.
At this time, not only was his father's obsession with gambling gambling continuing for a long time, but also mobile gambling stalls were circulating in the countryside.
These bad things have almost completely wiped out the savings of rural people over the years.
That is to say, as the economy developed later, the villagers had more and more ways to get money, and their lives became easier and easier. Otherwise, after so many twists and turns, it would be difficult to have the appearance of a modern village.
There is also some relevant information in Wu Dong's memory.
It seems that as the country vigorously builds highway kilometers and high-speed railways, coupled with all kinds of messy gray income, many so-called big brothers who are able to get along on the street have made their fortunes at this time.
Regarding such things, Wu Dong had nothing to say.
As long as it doesn't affect his family, relatives and friends, he can't control that much.
If you really meet him, he won't be polite.
Just like this time, when his subordinates understand the details and the time is staggered, he will ask those guys who come to collect debts to know why the flowers are so red?
Throughout mid-to-late August and early September, there was a fiery Olympic atmosphere in the city, followed by a sports craze.
Wu Dong, his related companies, and the city TV station with good cooperation will not let go of such an opportunity.
During this period, we cooperated with the Sports Bureau to launch various national fitness games.
There are marathons, cycling competitions, street basketball games, small-field football matches, etc. In short, it is very diverse and lively.
It happened to be during the summer vacation, and a group of primary and secondary school students became the main force in the competition. The excitement of the whole family participating in sports was not to mention how happy it was.
As the major sponsor of a series of sports and fitness competitions, the beverage factory and chain milk tea shop, as well as the Osmanthus school team club, suddenly became well-known to everyone in the city.
It is the residents of surrounding cities who know the excitement of Guihua through TV news. Anyone with some spare money is willing to come and have fun.
It can be said that, fueled by Wudong's industrial groups, Guihua City was a scene of lively sports throughout August.
Even the provincial TV station reported on the excitement here many times during this period.
I heard that residents of the provincial capital were quite unconvinced after reading the news introduction.
How do you feel that in this August when the whole country is celebrating, apart from the Olympic Games, the focus of the whole province is on the sweet-scented osmanthus?
Here in the provincial capital, as a famous big city in the country, it was compared to a small transparent one. You can imagine the dissatisfaction in your heart.
It's a pity that the Olympic Games only have so little time, and there is no powerful industrial group under Wu Dong to fuel the flames, nor does he have the experience to play various national fitness activities. As a result, even if he wants to imitate and learn, he will not be able to catch up.
By the way, after the Beijing Olympics ended in early September, when I attended a meeting organized by the city government, I could tell by the glowing faces of the officials that they were in a good mood.
At the same time, Wu Dong also used his real performance to let everyone present know that his strength is not a joke.
After the Olympic Games, the Chinese Super League resumed its war, and the Guihua school team started its rampant performance in the Chinese Super League again.
Wu Dong didn't have much thought about the club, and even the clinic matters were put aside for the time being.
Chinese people are still recalling the beauty of the Olympic Games, but overseas, there is a lot of mourning.
The global financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is no joke.
Not to mention the severe impact on foreign trade transactions in open coastal areas, many factories and enterprises that rely exclusively on foreign trade orders to survive cannot survive.
This is still the case in China, let alone Europe, which has close economic ties with the United States. It is a very bleak place.
When Wu Dong left at this time, he naturally had the idea of acquiring some high-quality assets abroad.
The first is Antwerp Football Club in Belgium. Domestic fans of this club must be very familiar with it.
At this time, they were struggling in the Belgian second division. If you want to buy the entire club, you don't need much money, just a few million dollars.
In order to successfully acquire this club, Wu Dong also deliberately registered a group company in a so-called tax haven through a company in Xiangjiang.
There had been contact before, but the two parties had not agreed on the price. But by September, the Antwerp club was the first to be unable to hold on.
The financial crisis is no joke, especially in capitalist countries. It is like a storm passing by and causing chaos. It is difficult for many companies and enterprises to survive.
Among European football clubs, except for a few black shops, there are almost no profitable clubs. The same is true for Antwerp, which is also in the Belgian second division, and life is quite difficult...
