Unlike his younger brother Zhou Bingkun, who suffered from horse hoof disease, Zhou Bingyi's life has been unsatisfactory in recent years. He feels that he has been living in the shadow of his father and mother.
Whatever Zhou Bingyi wants to do, he must first consider the impact and whether he needs to avoid anything.
Anyway, Zhou Bingyi’s life and work were very frustrating.
It was only now that he was appointed as secretary of a large factory with 3,000 people that Zhou Bingyi felt like he had great power.
Factory, auditorium.
"Everyone, please be quiet. A new secretary came to our factory today. Now let's ask him to speak to us." The old secretary looked at the workers sitting in the auditorium and raised his voice into the microphone.
Hearing the old secretary's opening remarks, Zhou Bingyi was inexplicably excited, holding the manuscript in his hand and speaking into the microphone in front of him, "Hello, fellow workers!
My name is Zhou Bingyi, and I am the new secretary of our factory!"
"Secretary Zhou, we are not interested in your speech.
I’m just curious about why your brother Zhou Bingkun has achieved so much?
How much effort did you put in behind the scenes?
Say it and let us all learn from it!" Suddenly a worker stood up and said loudly.
"Yes! Secretary Zhou, tell us about your brother Zhou Bingkun's family history so that we can learn from it!" Other workers also echoed.
...
Hearing the concerns of the workers, Zhou Bingyi's face looked a little unhappy. The old secretary on the side noticed Zhou Bingyi's face and comforted him and said, "Workers are like this, they can follow the wind and rain!"
You don't have to explain anything.
Even if I explain it, they won’t believe it!”
After hearing the old secretary's comfort, Zhou Bingyi nodded helplessly and wanted to continue reading the speech in his hand.
At this time, a worker ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Old secretary, it's bad! Something big has happened!"
"What happened? Don't be impatient and tell me slowly!" The old secretary looked at the worker in fear. It was true that the current affairs of the factory were complicated.
"Old Secretary, Du Dehai is full of explosives and threatens to commit suicide!"
"What?" The old secretary and Zhou Bingyi both widened their eyes in shock.
Zhou Bingyi and the old secretary hurriedly came to an abandoned workshop, and sure enough they saw Du Dehai, who was covered in explosives. Then he introduced with a forced smile, "Master Du, I am the new secretary Zhou Bingyi!
If you have any requests, tell me, and don’t be overwhelmed!”
"Are you the new Secretary Zhou?
What are you going to do with our factory?
Is it sold or demolished?" Du Dehai looked at Zhou Bingyi in front of him and said with a sneer.
Hearing Du Dehai's question, Zhou Bingyi was a little at a loss. He had just taken office today and really didn't know how to answer Du Dehai's question.
Zhou Bingyi suddenly felt a burst of anger. As soon as he met with the workers, he found that the workers were more concerned about the family history of his younger brother Zhou Bingkun. Du Dehai in front of him also threatened to commit suicide. What is going on!
Thinking of his brother Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Bingyi suddenly felt something in his heart, and then he had an idea, "Master Du, you heard it on the radio just now.
When I was giving a work report in the auditorium, the workers said they were very concerned about my brother Zhou Bingkun’s family history.”
"If Master Du is also interested, can you move to the auditorium and wait until I introduce my brother's fortune making process before answering your question?"
"Huh! Are you willing to say it openly?" Du Dehai looked at Zhou Bingyi in surprise.
"Of course, since everyone is very interested in my brother Zhou Bingkun, I might as well not read this speech!" Zhou Bingyi raised the speech in his hand and said with a confident smile.
The reason why the workers asked Zhou Bingyi about Zhou Bingkun was because they believed that there must be many behind-the-scenes operations and ulterior secrets, just to prevent the new secretary from coming to Taiwan.
Du Dehai and the workers were shocked when they heard that the new secretary Zhou Bingyi was really willing to speak out. The old secretary on the side quickly tried to dissuade him and said, "Secretary Zhou, there is no need for this!
After all, it is your family’s private matter!
There is no need to use your family’s private affairs to satisfy the workers’ curiosity.”
"Old Secretary, my brother's affairs are private matters, but they are also official matters!
It can serve as a reference for the next work of our factory." Zhou Bingyi explained with a smile.
"Oh?" The old secretary looked at the confident Zhou Bingyi and was a little surprised.
Du Dehai helped himself to the explosives and followed Zhou Bingyi and the old secretary to the auditorium.
When the workers saw the explosives on Du Dehai, they scattered in fear, leaving a large area of empty space for Du Dehai.
After the auditorium returned to calm again, Zhou Bingyi said with a smile, "I just heard that everyone is very interested in my brother Zhou Bingkun.
I didn’t plan to say it originally, because I always felt that I wasn’t as capable as my brother Zhou Bingkun!”
"Maybe you can't understand what I said, but after I introduce my brother Zhou Bingkun, you will understand my pain!"
“In 1969, our family has undergone great changes!
My father Zhou Zhigang was sent to the Third Front of Chongqing Construction University, and my sister Zhou Rong and I also became educated youths.
My brother Zhou Bingkun and my mother Li Suhua are the only two people left in the family."
"I don't have a good impression of my brother Zhou Bingkun.
Being naughty and making trouble is a common thing. I am at the bottom of the class every time I take exams, and then I finish the junior high school courses with difficulty."
"But what is surprising is that my younger brother Zhou Bingkun was admitted to Northeast Normal University in history when the country resumed its first college entrance examination at the end of 1977."
"Everyone in Jichun should have the impression that in early 1978, there was news about a family of three children who were admitted to college at the same time!
Two Peking University and one Northeast Normal University.
That’s our Zhou family!”
"Wow! I have an impression! It was quite a sensation in Jichun at that time!"
...
The workers below were all surprised and at first whispered to each other.
Seeing the performance of the workers, Zhou Bingyi smiled and continued to explain, "It was then that I realized that my brother Zhou Bingkun did not feel sorry for himself, but took advantage of his spare time to study knowledge diligently, and that was how he became.
Get into college."
"In 1979, my brother Zhou Bingkun published an article in the National Daily called "The Rise of a Great Power."
I think many workers must have the impression that at that time, the National Daily paid my brother Zhou Bingkun a royalties of 1,200 yuan."
When they heard that "The Rise of the Great Powers" was actually written by Zhou Bingkun, the workers who had the impression were surprised. When they heard that the remuneration was 1,200 yuan, the workers' eyes widened in shock.
"This is what my brother Zhou Bingkun often says, knowledge changes destiny!"
"Later, the "Oriental Daily News" in Hong Kong took a fancy to my brother's articles and spent a lot of money to buy two articles.
One is "The Rise of Great Powers" that everyone is familiar with, and the other is "Hexi Corridor" which has only been published abroad."
"In the 1980s, my brother Zhou Bingkun heard that the country had begun to liberalize individual businesses.
Then he applied for a personal business license from the Jichun and Jiangliao governments.
At that time, I was just an ordinary student in the Philosophy Department of Peking University, and it was impossible to help my brother Zhou Bingkun!"
"After applying for a personal business license, my brother Zhou Bingkun opened the first Jishantang restaurant, then the second branch, and the third..."
"Having said so much, I think everyone has discovered it.
My brother Zhou Bingkun has been relying on his own efforts to change his destiny!"
“Without Zhou Bingkun’s diligence and studiousness, he would not have been able to get into college!
If he had not been admitted to college, he would not have published his next articles, and he would not have made the first pot of gold in his life by selling the copyright of his articles!
Without this first pot of gold in his life, he would not have been able to open Jishantang Restaurant, and he would not have achieved what he has achieved now!"
"So, what I, Zhou Bingyi, want to say is that our factory must also rely on its own efforts to turn losses into profits!"
“We can no longer survive just by waiting for peace!
Therefore, I plan to go to the Soviet Union in the north in a while to look for opportunities in our factory."
"I hope everyone will have more patience and support. I will definitely find a way out for our factory!
We will never sell or demolish the factory directly as Master Du Dehai fears!"
"Bah bang..." After hearing Zhou Bingyi's explanation and assurance, the workers in the auditorium spontaneously stood up and clapped excitedly.
Seeing that Du Dehai was no longer so excited, Zhou Bingyi and the old secretary quickly came to Du Dehai, helped him untie the explosives on his body, and said with a smile, "Master Du, I hope you can give me a little confidence.
I will definitely be able to save our factory!"
"Secretary Zhou, I believe you can do it!
But, since your brother Zhou Bingkun is so capable.
Why don't you consider him as a consultant to our factory?
Then I will go to Soviet Russia with you to look for opportunities." Looking at Zhou Bingyi in front of him, Du Dehai showed a rare smile and suddenly suggested.
Upon hearing Du Dehai's suggestion, Zhou Bingyi's movements suddenly stagnated, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.
Noticing Zhou Bingyi's unnaturalness, the old secretary on the side didn't take it seriously and tried to persuade him, "Brothers working together can cut through gold!
Secretary Zhou, you should consider Master Du’s proposal carefully!
Your brother Zhou Bingkun has a broad vision. If you two brothers go to Soviet Russia together, you will have a greater chance of success!"
Looking at the old secretary and Du Dehai in front of him, Zhou Bingyi also felt a little moved, but he still said worriedly, "Is this not in compliance with the procedures?
After all, my brother Zhou Bingkun is just a businessman!"
"Secretary Zhou, now everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.
No one can tell what to do next, so you don’t need to worry so much!
All three thousand workers in our factory will support you!" The old secretary smiled and looked at Zhou Bingyi in front of him.
"That's okay! Since the old secretary also thinks it's feasible, I'll try it with my brother Zhou Bingkun!"
