...Yes, Ajian, you have a girlfriend, and you will start a family in the future. You can't live with us sisters, so you have to figure it out." Chu Qingyun said this sourly.
, but she felt a little regretful after saying it, "Just kidding."
Zhou Jian stood there in embarrassment for a moment and reluctantly laughed twice as a response to Chu Qingyun's "just kidding".
"Sister Chu, I really don't need money right now. Yuntai Company is your father's hard work, and it is also the guarantee of your sisters' lives. How can I ask for it?"
, "Didn't we keep half of it? Okay, that's it. Your girlfriend is the director's niece after all. You must have some wealth, otherwise people will still look down on you. Haha, although now Yun
Yuntai Company is still small, but Sister Chu is confident that Yuntai Company will be turned into a large company with fixed assets of over one billion before you graduate and get married."
Zhou Jian didn't know what to feel when he heard this. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Chu Qingyun said again: "Ajian, actually you should have some power of your own. Although Ajian, you are very strong, in today's society, strength alone is not enough."
Chu Qingyun's words reminded Zhou Jian. Yes, he has always been alone. Although he has money, it is enough to enjoy life, but not enough to fight. Money really collides with power.
If so, it's mostly money, not to mention he doesn't have much money.
As for personal strength, in today's society, strength alone is often not enough.
"Chu Qingyun went to jail" made him realize this deeply. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless, but Wenren Boda could let Chu Qingyun be released on bail pending trial with just one word.
In one sentence, the Lan family canceled even the bail pending trial, acquitted him directly, and provided him with compensation.
This is the benefit of following power.
He is likely to be involved in more and more struggles in the future. If he is always alone, then no matter how strong he is, it will be easy for him to swim in the shallows. For example, this time, if the Lan family insists on getting to the bottom of it, then please ask yourself
In the past, what should he do if he "cooperated" with investigations and studies?
Resist? Yes, but don’t even think about staying in China in the future.
What's more, he still has family, Huiyin, and friends. "Once family and friends are controlled"
Then he is completely at a loss.
But building power is easier said than done?
It is impossible to compare with national-level families like the Seven Great Ancient Martial Arts Families. During the catastrophe, the evolutionaries of the family gathered their lives and blood to conquer the country bit by bit, but I had no chance at all.
Taking a step back, it seems that provincial families like the Wenren family also have difficulties. It took the Wenren family 150 years to reach its current scale, and it was only through the talents of many clansmen that they could achieve such power, whether they were in business or in politics.
Yes, those who join the army are the only ones who can do it. Chu Qingyun can do business, but what about the rest? Should he drag the mule over and make him a division commander, and let him have a drink and hang out in a dark hall?
Taking a step back, for a city-level family like Gao Peng, Zhou Jian is actually barely able to do it now. It is more than enough to enjoy life, but his power to protect the people around him is not enough.
If building forces doesn't work, then there is another way - to build armed forces.
In a sense, the seven ancient martial arts families have established their power by controlling their armed forces, so they can transcend regulations and make rules.
Armed forces can only take the form of armies, mercenaries, and bounty hunter groups. The best one is naturally the army. For example, the big foreign warlords and anti-government armed forces rely on the army.
However, Zhou Jian could not afford to raise an army, so he had to settle for the next best thing and choose a mercenary army that could obey his command and maintain a certain balance of income and expenditure.
Of course, it is impossible to establish a mercenary group in China. Zhou Jian certainly does not think that his little help to the Lan family is enough for the Lan family to give him the green light to allow a civilian armed force with live ammunition to exist in the territory of China.
So if you want to do it, do it abroad, such as Myanmar. What about the initial capital accumulation?
It's obviously not enough to rely on Yuntai Company alone, and Zhou Jian doesn't want to put too heavy a burden on Chu Qingyun, so where else can he make money? Drugs? Arms? Don't think about these two, the possibilities are coal mines, real estate, etc.
However, to engage in these things, not only do you need connections, but the key points have already been divided up.
Establishing your own power is easy to think about, but not that difficult to implement.
, "By the way, Ajian, our company has an advantage, that is, we are the only company in China that has legal procedures to import blood opium straw. I want to send people to Myanmar to plant blood opium, and then use the blood opium fruits to extract narcotics.
Blood poppy straws are shipped to China for processing and extraction of opium alkaloids for sale. There should be many companies willing to buy them. If there are legal channels, no one will be willing to take risks. After all, this thing is not expensive."
, "Well, okay, you can do it." The procedures for legally importing blood opium were naturally specially approved by the Lan family. This is the only one with no other branches, so Chu Qingyun keenly felt that this was a business opportunity, although she could not make any money.
How much does it cost, but after all, it is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.
, "Also, after Yuntai Company delists and reorganizes, it will hold a delisting ceremony and celebration, and all shareholders must participate.
Well, of course, only the three of us are shareholders. Anyway, you will be the chairman of this company from now on, and I will be your general manager, so Chairman Zhou nm, you must reward me for this delisting ceremony nn
You have to show your employees their boss."
"Uh." The moment he heard the title Chairman Zhou, the look on Zhou Jian's face was very exciting, especially when Chu Qingyun deliberately acted weirdly and said it in a jittery tone, matched with her soft voice, it really made people's bones shake.
After wiping his face, Zhou Jian said: "Okay, when will it be held?"
"About three days later, because investors have lost confidence in Yuntai Company's stocks, and the purchase price we gave is relatively high, the delisting went smoothly. By the way, I heard from your roommate that you hired someone at school
It’s a long vacation, do you want to run around and do some dangerous things again?”
"No."
"Well, you might as well come to work in the company."
"ah?"
"What's wrong? You are the chairman. It is only natural that you come to work. I work for you."
Zhou Jian laughed bitterly when he heard the sentence "I work for you", it sounded weird.
"Sister Chu, I know you want to keep me from doing dangerous things, but I've never been the chairman, so don't mess things up."
"It's okay. I'll do the specific work anyway. You can just sign it."
"Uh uh...,..."
"What else is there to be embarrassed about? Oh, by the way, you are taking a long leave to see sister Huiyin. You can go there at any time, and I won't stop you."
"Sweet, no." Zhou Jianxin said that I would like to meet him, but the relationship is not that serious yet. Huiyin lives in the college girls' dormitory on Hong Kong Island. Should he rent a house outside the school and drag her out to live together?
The idea is beautiful, but the banquet is cruel.
"Then you will come to the company to work in a few days."
"Okay." Anyway, Zhou Jian has nothing to do until the military training is over. It's not bad to go to Chu Qingyun's office to sit in the office, drink tea, practice leveling, and there will be someone to cook when he's hungry.
I will go home after the winter vacation.
Speaking of my hometown, I haven’t called home for a long time.
So after hanging up Chu Qingyun's call, Zhou Jian called home again.
In fact, he had wanted to make this call for a long time, and he had already thought of various words for this call. In the end, he decided to explain everything to his family in the most concise and bloody way. When the call was answered,
Zhou Jian said with a tone of surprise: "Mom, I have some good news for you. You must be shocked."
"What good news? Tell mom." Zhou Jian's mother's name is Zhou Cuilan. After graduating from junior high school, she went to health school and then worked as a rural doctor in the village.
Zhou Jian had been brewing his emotions for a long time, and the happy book shouted: "Mom, I won the lottery!!! Guess how much I won?"
After shouting this voice, Zhou Jian felt like he was vomiting blood, and he felt so stupid no matter how he listened.
"How much? Five hundred?" Zhou Cuilan also knew something about lottery tickets, so winning five hundred would be considered a good deal.
"No more, guess again." Zhou Jian talked so much because he was afraid that he would suddenly shout out "eighteen million" and make the old lady lose her temper.
So I brought it up bit by bit to let my mother be mentally prepared.
"Could it be a thousand?"
"It's still less."
"That can't be five thousand, right?"
"Mom, can't you take a bigger guess?"
"It's a bit too big to guess. I guess you can win five million?"
"Yes, it is five million, and I bought two bets at one time, ten million!!"
The phone went completely silent.
"Mom, are you okay?"
After a long while, Zhou Cuilan stammered: "Son, please say it again, how much more?"
"Ten million!" Zhou Jian was speechless.
"Aren't you kidding your mother?"
"Am I that boring? I really won the lottery. If you don't believe it, I will send it to you tomorrow. After deducting taxes, there are still 8 million. I want to keep 3 million for business. Mom and dad can spend the rest.
"
The person on the phone was stunned for another long time, and then Zhou Cuilan's voice came, "My father's father! Come here, my father!"
Zhou Jian smiled bitterly. Dad would probably be surprised for a long time if he came again.
Zhou Jian's father, Zhou Danian, was a lathe in the city when he was 20 years old. Later, during a night operation, he seemed to have carelessly moved the tool in the wrong direction while setting the tool.
It seems that it was not very successful, and in short, the heart and lungs were suffering from problems.
Later, Zhou Danian became ill and coughed frequently. There was still a hole in his left chest that looked like a wine cup. He stopped working as a lathe. He followed an old Chinese medicine doctor for several years and worked in a clinic at home with his mother.
