Chapter 471: Inheriting the past and linking the future
The next day, Gu Town.
Ms. Liu Huaiying got up early as usual, even though Zhou Dongsheng became successful, allowing her to live a leisurely retirement life ahead of schedule.
But I have been busy for most of my life, and I am not used to it when I am free, especially when I get older and it doesn’t take long for me to fall asleep even if I want to.
It just so happens that I can help Zhou Dongsheng take care of the company called "Flower in the Smoke". As a female textile factory worker with decades of experience, Quan should put her remaining talents to use.
Liu Huaiying had just finished cooking a pot of porridge, and Auntie Lan walked in with a Teochew-style cooked plate of fish, also known as "fish rice". White porridge is a must-have for breakfast.
"Here you go, the porridge has just been cooked. Eat it while it's hot." Liu Huaiying greeted with a smile. They were both similar in age and had spent most of their lives in the textile industry.
We already had common topics, but with Aunt Lan's frequent visits, we have already become old sisters.
"Sister Liu, you are so lucky. I didn't expect that the boss's business outside would be so big that it would be on the news." Aunt Lan was full of praise as soon as she walked in.
"Oh? I don't know what kind of business that guy Dongsheng is doing outside, how can he still be in the news? Sit down first, and you can tell me." Liu Huaiying was shocked and greeted quickly.
Adhering to the idea that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and since he really couldn't help much, Liu Huaiying never asked much about Zhou Dongsheng's affairs and let him do whatever he wanted.
The communication between mother and son was more about daily greetings. Liu Huaiying couldn't understand business matters, but Liu Huaiying also knew that Zhou Dongsheng's business was doing quite well.
After all, there are indeed too many visible changes in life...
"This is what my kid showed me last night. It was a video sent by the boss..." Aunt Lan diligently took out her iPhone and opened the video to show Liu Huaiying.
Since receiving the promotion and salary increase, Aunt Lan's life has been getting better and better, and her family status has improved a lot. This also made Aunt Lan very grateful to Zhou Dongsheng.
There is nowhere to express this gratitude, so it can only be placed on Liu Huaiying, the "old Buddha", who is naturally very attentive to Liu Huaiying.
"This kid talks so arrogantly, even if he makes some achievements, his tail is raised to the sky. He doesn't know that there are people outside the world..." He said this, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Aunt Lan naturally knew it well, "The boss is so capable at such a young age. How can he still do it in the future? He even held an awards ceremony, like the one where big stars walk on the red carpet on TV..."
The two of them obviously didn't know much about the concepts of these things, but that didn't stop them from complimenting each other, laughing, and chatting happily.
And these two people have already learned about this matter, which is enough to prove the success of Zhou Dongsheng's self-marketing.
Not only did he become famous on the Internet, but the words "Zhou Dongsheng" also spread all over the three-thirds of an acre of land in Gu Town.
Especially those who have interacted with Zhou Dongsheng, the feeling of seeing a familiar person standing in the spotlight is particularly shocking.
Among them, Zhang Xuhui, one of the former partners, had mixed feelings when he saw this message. He once had an extremely thick thigh in front of him, but he didn't cherish it.
I regret it only when I lose it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me another chance...
The Deng Bin family, who lives far away in Spring City, is seeing the New Year approaching, but their business has been unsatisfactory throughout the year. They don't know how to explain it to their family, and their hair is almost turning gray.
But I accidentally came across Zhou Dongsheng's video, and my eyes widened. This shock was far better than the feeling I had when I saw Zhou Dongsheng driving a Martha in his hometown last year.
After all, there is still a certain gap between success and success.
Especially the "World Cup" mentioned by Zhou Dongsheng, Deng Bin couldn't help but think of the shy Zhou Dongsheng and the 2,000 yuan salary he had paid in advance...
Could it be that everything started from that time?
Thinking of this, Deng Bin inevitably felt a little disappointed, especially the huge gap between Zhou Dongsheng's glamor and his declining business...
At this time, Deng Rong, who was getting fatter and fatter, walked into the store, licked his face and said: "Brother, give me some money..."
Deng Bin was even more furious and couldn't help but get angry. He suddenly understood why Zhou Dongsheng had a conflict with his brother in the first place...
Even his elder brother wanted to beat him up!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Deng Bin slapped Deng Rong in a face-to-face manner, and Deng Rong was used to being shameless. He sat at the door of the store angrily, took out his mobile phone, and opened the Douyin short video he had recently downloaded.
The endless stream of new gadgets on the platform is really exciting, especially those beautiful ladies, which make Deng Rong salivate. Recently, he has been addicted to this software endlessly, and he even plays less games.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened it, I saw a very familiar face.
After a while, a look with even more mixed emotions than Deng Bin appeared on Deng Rong's face, and the humiliating experience of being beaten to tears by Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but resurface.
Damn it, why did this guy beat me up, not only did he not receive retribution, but he also lived such a prosperous life?
Deng Rong had a calm look on his face, but he was extremely envious in his heart. Only then did he realize that this software that he couldn't put down was actually a project invested by Zhou Dongsheng...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Deng Rong left a comment slandering Zhou Dongsheng, but he was easily drowned in the massive amount of information and could not make a splash.
After this video, a number of media interviews came out one after another, focusing on Zhou Dongsheng’s grassroots attributes of “starting from scratch”, further contributing to Zhou Dongsheng’s rise to fame.
And intentionally, the focus of several major investment projects is also focused on Douyin short videos, while several other projects are just mentioned and dismissed.
When it comes to the future of short videos, Zhou Dongsheng simply carries out his youthful spirit to the end, preparing to take the prophet's card and call the 16 years that have just begun "the first year of the mobile Internet".
Not only did he talk about the coming of the first year, but he also said that not only short videos, but also live streaming, e-commerce and other fields are what he is optimistic about, and the projects he invested in are also distributed in these industries.
Nowadays, these words are inconspicuous when distributed in interviews. Only with the passage of time can we know their weight.
Compared with the simple and crude short video, this type of interview did not attract much attention from netizens. However, this talk of "the first year of the mobile Internet" has reached the ears of some caring people and caused a stir.
A lot of attention.
Different information dissemination channels naturally target different groups of people and produce completely different effects.
There is no doubt that these three words Zhou Dongsheng, while gaining fame through this wave of public opinion, also mean that he has officially stepped out of the behind the scenes and moved to the front.
While getting more attention, there will also be some subtle benefits. The two words fame and fortune have been closely related to each other since ancient times.
