"Hello, Brother Hongtu, my name is Zhao Mingyang. This is indeed my first time here. I don't know the rules. I need you to take more care of me." Zhao Mingyang said to the other party.
Zhao Hongtu and Zhao Mingyang talked about how they should address each other based on their seniority. Here, people must be called according to their seniority. If you are young, you have to call them "master". They are not called according to their age. Just like family members, they call people according to their seniority.
The person sitting at the main seat is the highest-ranking person in the circle, and the people sitting next to the main seat are also senior. Of course, they are of the same generation as the old man at the main seat. There are many things here, but not like him.
The status is high, and the ranking is based on seniority.
After Zhao Mingyang and Zhao Hongtu chatted, they discovered that Zhao Hongtu was actually one generation lower than Zhao Mingyang, so Zhao Hongtu called Zhao Mingyang Uncle Mingyang, while Zhao Mingyang should just call him his eldest nephew or just call him by his first name. Don't call him brother.
It's a big taboo to mess up the seniority here.
"Everyone, today I would like to introduce to you a new family member, Zhao Mingyang, an economics teacher at Fuda." A middle-aged man with a slicked back hair walked up to Zhao Mingyang, patted his shoulder and introduced him.
Zhao Mingyang introduces to everyone, economics, this is a very big field, including entrepreneurship, there is no need to go into details, and no one here will ask in detail, because being able to sit at this table already means that Zhao Mingyang is not an ordinary person.
.
Zhao Mingyang picked up the wine glass and briefly introduced himself to everyone. He first explained his generation, and then drank three glasses of wine in a row. The first glass was the wine to recognize his ancestors, and the second glass was the wine to recognize his family members.
The third cup is if I didn’t do it right, I hope everyone can forgive me.
The person who introduced Zhao Mingyang's identity is the steward here, who is mainly responsible for the daily management and maintenance of the ancestral hall here. He is also a well-known local entrepreneur here, but before he became an entrepreneur, he worked as a middle school teacher for five years and then went into business.
Yes, my ancestors were all teachers, and my great-grandfather is also a celebrity here, and he is very famous here.
So he can introduce Zhao Mingyang, and everyone understands that Zhao Mingyang is not simple either.
"Mingyang, it's not easy for you to be a teacher at Fuda at your age. Do you have any brothers and sisters at home?" A man in his fifties looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked. Others also listened with pricked up ears.
I want to explore the bottom.
"I am the only child in our family. Actually, it is not a big deal to be a teacher at Fuzhou University. The main reason is that my parents are both majoring in economics. They both have master's degrees. It has been like having two teachers giving me separate tutoring lessons since I was a child.
"Zhao Mingyang seemed to say it casually, but in fact he was reminding those people that I am not a nouveau riche.
At a certain stage, if you go to some relatively high-end dinner parties, there will no longer be competition at the table about how much money you have or what your identity is. Everyone knows how much each other weighs. What matters is family background.
Even if your family is poor for three generations, it will be different if you are the descendant of a famous person, and your personality will rise. For someone like Zhao Mingyang, his ancestors have nothing to brag about, but he can brag about his parents.
His parents are masters of economics, which was considered very powerful at that time, even among the best. Zhao Mingyang really blew it to the outside world, so he had to work harder for his parents, otherwise he could not be sent abroad for gold plating.
Go to school for another three years and get a PhD...
Anyway, it’s not easy to find out. Zhao Mingyang’s information is protected. Ordinary people can’t find out anything about him. This is what Wu Zhonghua did for Zhao Mingyang.
In addition, Zhao Mingyang has done a good job of erasing and eliminating his information before, so he is not afraid of others checking, so he can brag about it.
If Zhao Mingyang's parents work hard to get a doctorate, then Zhao Mingyang's future children can boast to the outside world. My grandparents are PhDs in economics, and my dad is a professor at Fuzhou University. This background is enough for their children.
It can be regarded as a scholarly family, and Zhao Mingyang wants to create a background for his descendants.
It's all for the sake of the children, so Zhao Mingyang thinks his parents should understand...
Why did Zhao Mingyang’s parents agree to Zhao Mingyang’s actions and arrangements?
A sentence that may be more heartbreaking but realistic is: if you get more money or a higher status, you will gain the respect of your parents. Of course, there are no derogatory words or "realistic" words about parents here.
The main thing is that when you achieve greater achievements in your way, your parents will wonder if their way was wrong before and your way is better, and they will slowly listen to your suggestions and do something.
.匷
Sometimes some people say that if they are poor and do not do well in life, their parents will look down on them. If they do well in life, their parents will not be like that, and their parents will be snobbish or something like that.
In fact, the essence is that if you don't mix well, your parents will think that your way may be wrong and want you to use their way. If you mix well, they will doubt and question that your way may not be suitable for you.
It's not that Zhao Mingyang's parents didn't want to say no, but they did it according to Zhao Mingyang's way. After doing it, they got better results. In the end, they found that Zhao Mingyang was right, so they listened to Zhao Mingyang, not because they thought Zhao Mingyang was right.
Once you get along, you must listen to him. This is the key.
······
Zhao Mingyang's coming here is just to gild his identity again. From now on, he will say that he is a descendant of the Zhao family, a descendant of so and so, and what his uncles and grandfathers do. Aren't they all his uncles and grandfathers in this circle?
They became familiar with each other, and they would always address each other by seniority when meeting each other in the future. Zhao Mingyang's biggest shortcoming is that he is upward, and he really doesn't have a strong background of his own.
To think about the future, Zhao Mingyang is not thinking about the present at all, but his own plan for the next fifty years. People with strong backgrounds do not care about changes in the world. Unless God wants his life, nothing that happens will have any impact.
.匷
History has verified this. Families like Nan Zhang and Beikong have been prosperous for thousands of years. The Rong family in Su Province has had no impact for hundreds of years. Even if the world undergoes earth-shaking changes, it will only have an impact on ordinary people. They
You can also play music and dance.
Why does Zhao Mingyang want to package himself? The main reason is that Zhao Mingyang is still not strong enough. If Zhao Mingyang can have absolute strength, he will not package himself. Anyway, everyone here will have to look at his face, as if he does not need to be cautious
Liu Lanshan and the others get along well because they have absolute strength.
As for moving up, you need to package yourself well and continue to watch people's actions, just to integrate into a higher circle.
This is why many celebrities are said to be not self-made. Maybe they are self-made, but they are afraid of being said to be grassroots and nouveau riche, so they deliberately package themselves.
Of course, this was all based on the lack of confidence. When he had enough confidence, Zhao Mingyang dared to lift the table and let these people sing "Conquer".
A little impatience will mess up a big plan. Zhao Mingyang is playing a big game of chess. Everyone here is a chess piece in his hand. He must make good use of this group of people. What Zhao Mingyang wants is to turn his wooden door into a real wealthy family. Whoever comes to the door will be
Three points for respect and seven points for fear.
Before you wake up, you have to learn to speak 30% of the truth and 70% of the lies to others.
As Zhao Mingyang expected, many people here did not ask Zhao Mingyang any more questions, nor did they ask which school Zhao Mingyang's parents went to, because it was not important to the people present. In their opinion, Zhao Mingyang's parents were older generation intellectuals, and
Zhao Mingyang's family no longer has any background.
For this group of people, Zhao Mingyang is not considered a nouveau riche. As for the others, they need to be observed.
Many of you here come from scholarly and medical families, and there are also many descendants of famous people.
Zhao Mingyang used to wonder why these people can always be rich? Especially the descendants of famous people?
Later, Zhao Mingyang understood that a piece of calligraphy and painting left by his ancestors, or a used decoration, could be sold for tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and he could also earn endorsement money. For example, if any association wanted to use their ancestors'
Now that they have a good reputation, give them a sum of money to go to the platform.
It is too easy for this kind of people to make money, and what they make are huge profits. I have said before that wealth is explosive, and the wealth of this group of people has always been in explosive mode. They can also do business by using the names of their ancestors, such as using their ancestors’ names.
Register a product name or something like that.
Also, some of their relationships have been maintained for a long time, and the family is very particular about marriage. The connections are too strong. If the connections are strong, there will be no shortage of money.
So money is nothing to this group of people, food and clothing are enough, and their connections are what they want.
What Zhao Mingyang wants is to expand his network of contacts so that there is Zhao Mingyang in this circle.
This is why businessmen do not have such a strong sense of presence in these places. For example, many people cannot understand what level a university president belongs to and what level a university scholar belongs to.
Zhao Mingyang was able to join this table mainly because of Cai Qimin's recommendation and his status as a university teacher. Strong men in the world could ignore this group of people, such as Wu Zhonghua. Cai Qimin also saw that Wu Zhonghua and Zhao Mingyang had a close relationship.
The main reason is that Wu Zhonghua still has great value to Cai Qimin.
But Zhao Mingyang is not Wu Zhonghua's biological son. If the old man leaves, the relationship may become estranged and collapse.
So now Zhao Mingyang can only use Wu Zhonghua's power to help him improve, and that's it. This is the final limit.
Zhao Mingyang toasted one by one at the wine bureau. There are many rules here. Zhao Mingyang drinks with someone lower than him. Zhao Mingyang does not have to get up. The other party gets up to drink with Zhao Mingyang. All seniority here has the final say.
Zhao Mingyang drank around and got to know everyone. During the dinner, Zhao Mingyang was pulled into several groups. The first one was a large group. Most of the people were in it. It was also a group. There were more than 500 people in this group.
Then people of similar age were in a group, this was for people of this age to help each other, and finally they were pulled into a group of 30 people, which is basically a core group.
As for the person at the main table, Zhao Mingyang probably knew his identity. He had a tough background, almost as tough as Wu Zhonghua, and the rest of the people also had very tough backgrounds.
What surprises Zhao Mingyang the most is that this group of people talk directly about anything they encounter without going around in circles. This is indeed more like a family way of getting along.
People at the dinner table asked who could help, and they all asked directly. Someone at the table had a child who wanted to study in the United States, and asked who had connections there to help take care of it. He was afraid that the child would be bullied there, so Zhao Mingyang took care of it directly. From housing
Who to contact if something happens when you get there?
Some people also want to ask who has something to do with the entertainment industry. His child wants to be a trainee in Kimchi Country, which means he can go to the entertainment industry. Zhao Mingyang also arranged it. He called Ning Dongsheng in person to arrange it.
After Zhao Mingyang performed this operation, he quickly gave a hint to everyone present. Zhao Mingyang was not just a school teacher. Some people even wanted to cooperate with Wan Heng, and Zhao Mingyang also called to help.
Zhao Mingyang also went to find someone to help inquire about a certain company in Essay E.
Zhao Mingyang is very clear that these people will not let others help in vain, and will be rewarded accordingly. Zhao Mingyang's initiative to help is also a hint to the people here that I am valuable, and if I ask you for help in the future, you will also help me.
I will also help you. In the end, it is a community of interests and an exchange of interests.
Background: Zhao Mingyang was well packaged and his abilities were demonstrated. Zhao Mingyang quickly entered the core circle of this group of people.
After drinking for three hours, Zhao Mingyang also learned a lot of information from these people's words, and he almost knew everyone's background.
The person who introduced Zhao Mingyang also took Zhao Mingyang to other tables to make introductions.
After the banquet was over, when Zhao Mingyang was about to take a car to the hotel to rest, Zhao Hongtu stopped Zhao Mingyang and said, "Uncle Mingyang, let's go sober up together, drink tea and take a bath."
Zhao Mingyang looked at Zhao Hongtu in front of him. This man was about thirty-five or sixty years old. He gave Zhao Mingyang the feeling of being an old man. Zhao Mingyang wanted to politely refuse him, but he also wanted to know how such a person could sit in this position.
, During the dinner, Zhao Hongtu seemed to be familiar with everyone, but no one mentioned his family affairs.
Zhao Mingyang followed Zhao Hongtu's car in a Maybach of his own, and Zhao Hongtu's car was also a Maybach.
Zhao Mingyang could probably guess that Zhao Hongtu was in business, but it didn't look like he was in business. After the dinner, everyone went to arrange activities separately and would come back tomorrow.
Zhao Hongtu took Zhao Mingyang to a hot spring hotel. This hotel is owned by Zhao Hongtu. Today, descendants of the Zhao family from all over the country basically stay here.
The main feature of this hotel is hot springs. Each room has a hot spring pool. Zhao Hongtu arranged a luxury suite for Zhao Mingyang, which has a large hot spring pool.
Zhao Mingyang's suitcase was delivered to the room by the driver. Zhao Hongtu and Zhao Mingyang went to take a bath in an open-air hot spring pool. They wanted to meet each other candidly.
"Uncle Mingyang, drink some hangover tea." Zhao Hongtu said.
Zhao Mingyang took the tea handed by Zhao Hongtu, took a sip and put it on the table. Zhao Mingyang drank too much today, with more than a kilogram of wine, and his head hurt. He didn't want to talk much. After taking a bath, Zhao Hongtu
Invite Zhao Mingyang to relax.
After regular relaxation, massage, foot massage and ear picking, Zhao Mingyang fell asleep unconsciously.
Zhao Hongtu also fell asleep. He also drank too much. He slept until about nine o'clock in the evening. Zhao Mingyang was woken up by a splash of urine. After he went to drink water, Zhao Mingyang felt hungry.
Zhao Hongtu also woke up. When Zhao Mingyang got up, Zhao Hongtu woke up and went to drain the water.
After draining the water, Zhao Hongtu washed his face and said, "Uncle Mingyang, I asked someone to prepare some porridge. Let's go eat some."
Zhao Mingyang followed him to the outdoor table next to the hot spring in his pajamas. The waiter quickly served vegetable porridge, vegetable buns and some other food.
This Zhao Hongtu is very attentive and attentive. He asked Zhao Mingyang to take a bath for a fake reason, just for the meal in the evening. He figured that Zhao Mingyang drank too much and needed to rest, so he arranged to take a bath, and then
I took a massage and foot massage and rested for a while. I almost woke up at night.
Get some sobering food to nourish your stomach. The meal will be eaten at 11 noon and the meal will end at 2 p.m. At that time, Zhao Hongtu has arranged the meal for the evening. Not only Zhao Mingyang, Zhao Hongtu has arranged all the important guests.
.
However, the place where Zhao Mingyang and he were at this time was a small courtyard separated from the hotel, which belonged to the backyard. Zhao Hongtu entertained Zhao Mingyang alone.
Others were either still sleeping at this time, or playing cards and singing.
When Zhao Mingyang took a bath with Zhao Hongtu today, he knew that this guy was a ruthless character. His body was filled with bullets and swords.
This may be what he wants Zhao Mingyang to see. This guy is not a simple character, and he is not as experienced as he seems on the surface.
Zhao Hongtu was also quite surprised by Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang's figure looked like it was not just a few months of training, but years of training, and he had already developed his lines.
At first glance, Zhao Mingyang is a well-rounded person. He seems to have connections all over the world. He has a lot of social activities, and his daily workload is certainly not small. Zhao Mingyang is so busy that he has not given up on sports and fitness. This gives Zhao Hongtu an answer. Zhao Mingyang
He is a very self-disciplined and perseverant person. There is no such person who is not ruthless.
Zhao Mingyang and Zhao Hongtu were two tough guys sitting there eating quietly. It was very comfortable to eat something hot at this time, especially eating vegetables and the like after drinking would be easier to relieve hangover.
At this time, Zhao Mingyang and Zhao Hongtu were both still a little drunk. They were not completely sober, but they were relatively sober. This was the best time to chat.
Zhao Hongtu was very good at finding opportunities. After dinner, Zhao Hongtu and Zhao Mingyang had some tea, and then they went to the hot springs again.
You can see the moonlight from this place, and it's very quiet and no one disturbs you.
Zhao Hongtu said: "Uncle Mingyang, you are the most powerful person of this age that I have ever seen. You are a great wise man."
"You are so flattering, I can't stand it. You are also the most powerful person I have ever seen at this age. I am lucky at most." Zhao Mingyang said, he didn't know what Zhao Hongtu's purpose was in coming to him.
What, so Zhao Mingyang is very careful about what he says.
"Uncle Mingyang, how many of these people do you think you like today?" Zhao Hongtu asked directly.
"You!" Zhao Mingyang replied very directly. If I didn't talk about him at this time, I felt like I couldn't speak. Whoever asked, who should talk.
"Hahaha~Uncle Mingyang, you really know how to talk, but I'm not just saying flattery, today I really feel that you are someone I really like.
I really don't like that group of people. They are all resting on their laurels and have little ability or strength.
Not as good as the newly joined group of people, including you, they are even more incomparable.
Things are going to change in the future, and more than half of this group of people may feel uncomfortable, and many may not even be able to fight back.
I have some inside information, including some things I have deduced, and there must be big changes in the future, so I want to cooperate with the strong first and cooperate in depth.
Let's put it this way, I want to cooperate with you, and what do I do?
Over in the Golden Triangle, when I say one, no one dares to say two. The reason is for no other reason than that I have killed all the people who said two, and no one will say two after that.
But I don’t dare to slap the table here. My dad couldn’t even get up to the main table before. When I was very young, my dad and I came here every year to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.
There used to be people in that group of people that I admired, but now there are fewer and fewer people, but I know that I can speak for myself in the Golden Triangle, but not here because the gap in strength is too big.
The person sitting at the main seat today can easily manipulate me. I also admire that person. He is one of the few I admire. But he is old. Didn't you see that he just sat in the seat for a while and then left today? Can you hold on any longer?
It's hard to tell for a year, but I heard that he was terminally ill.
Even if he is not terminally ill, he is almost 96 years old. He is a ruthless and powerful person, but his descendants will not be able to survive. After the old man leaves, their family may not be half as strong as before.
You are different, you just started to gain momentum, just in time to catch up with the big changes, maybe you and I will sit in that chair in the future."
Zhao Mingyang didn't say anything after hearing this. This guy gave Zhao Mingyang a dangerous life.
