Although the unexpected encounter between Ning Weimin and Jiang Hui is essentially a comedy of life, it seems that God deliberately arranged the embarrassment for it.
Ning Weimin did not perform the slap-in-the-face scenes that everyone loves to see, like those protagonists in Xiaobai novels who take pleasure in showing off.
He never revealed the truth about his "white dragon fish suit" in front of Jiang Hui and her cousin.
But I was actually "sympathized with".
But it is undeniable that this incident had a profound impact on Ning Weimin.
It was as if God had given him a revelation that directly changed his mood and state of mind.
He who was originally lazy and indulged in the comfortable life of the city after returning, suddenly found a new goal.
Take starting a family, establishing a business, and reproducing the family as your own responsibility, and you will become positive again and work hard to become stronger.
That’s right! Have your own direct blood relatives!
For Ning Weimin, an orphan who has been alone for two lifetimes, this is such a tempting prospect.
He doesn't want too many children, at least two, preferably three or four.
Besides, both sons and daughters will get married when they grow up, and then they will become a big family of more than a dozen people.
Of course he wants to be a good father, and even more so, a good grandfather, so he can't take care of his children.
Not only does he want to consider the education of his children, but he also hopes to ensure that they will be wealthy and live freely for several generations. Then his current net worth is not enough.
Needless to say, naturally I can’t be lazy, so I have to keep running.
This time it's not for myself, but for my wife and children.
As Chinese people, wouldn’t most people have this idea if they want to be parents?
This is human nature.
So Ning Weimin seemed like a different person. As soon as the decoration of the Liulichang store was finalized, he turned around and changed his appearance.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into that business celebrity again wearing brand name, wearing a famous watch on his wrist, and even his lighter was made of 18K gold.
This naturally caused the neighbors in Shan'er Hutong to stir up excitement as if they were experiencing an earthquake.
Ning Weimin not only shattered the rumors that had been spread out of hatred for the rich some time ago, but also once again established his shining image like gold in the minds of the neighbors.
It also made those neighbors deeply realize that gossiping about others behind their backs will not make their own lives better.
The master who always hates others and laughs at others is the big fool who really wastes his time and only covets others.
In fact, not to mention the neighbors, even Ning Weimin's master Kang Shude was also surprised by the sudden and huge changes in his apprentice.
In the eyes of the old man, his apprentice is good at everything.
The only problem is that my brain is too active, and I always have an endless number of fantastic ideas, so I always startle people inadvertently.
He is even more imaginative in doing things. He dares to do it when he has an idea, and he bites off more than he can chew.
But having said that, after getting along for a long time, the old man has already developed enough understanding and confidence in the quality of this apprentice.
At least he knows that Ning Weimin has rules and regulations and knows how to plan for the future.
When doing it, you must have thought about what to do in the worst case scenario.
Even if you fail, you will never put yourself in a predicament that you are unable to cope with and cause big trouble from which you cannot get out.
So if Ning Weimin didn't tell the old man and didn't ask, he would avoid being upset and worrying about him in vain.
How about talking about Master?
Kang Shude is really open-minded and has enough determination to sit firmly on Diaoyutai. This is his ability as a master.
But this wouldn't be possible if it were someone else.
If it were anyone else, anyone who had been dealing with Ning Weimin for a long time would have to have a strong heart, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the mental stimulation of this kid over and over again.
Take Huo Yanping as an example.
There is no need to say much about the quality of this chief secretary, and he also values Ning Weimin very much.
At home, it is paying close attention to Ning Weimin's situation through relevant personnel of the embassy in Japan and special departments.
But even so, every time I see Ning Weimin in China, I communicate with this kid face to face.
Director Huo was still inevitably shocked by Ning Weimin's latest changes, as well as his new ideas and plans.
To be honest, he is often excited and gratified by Ning Weimin's career progress, and at the same time has higher expectations.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried about whether Ning Weimin was taking too big and too fast a step and whether he was acting too radically.
In the end, you will be trapped in the contradiction of not knowing whether to encourage Ning Weimin to be bold and enterprising and seize opportunities, or to persuade Ning Weimin to slow down and proceed cautiously.
Like this time, it's still the same.
After successfully "restoring human form", the first thing Ning Weimin did was to call Director Huo's secretary Peng Yuan.
After making an appointment with him, he visited his home and reported his situation to Director Huo who took time out of his busy schedule.
As soon as these two people chatted, it was like they had been friends for years, and they completely forgot about the time.
Ning Weimin first described in detail to Huo Yanping the social situation in Japan where consumerism has begun to spread, people generally worship money, and are gradually becoming extravagant.
Then he put forward his own views and opinions on the future trends and impacts of Japanese stocks and real estate prices rising, the economic bubble having been blown up, and industrial manufacturing starting to hollow out.
After talking about the general economic situation in Japan, Ning Weimin also talked specifically about the optimistic situation in which his trolley suitcases are sold through Yamato Sightseeing in Japan.
And what happened when I met a cadre of the Light Industry Bureau who was on a business trip overseas to look for cooperation projects on a plane flying to Tokyo.
Finally, Ning Weimin bluntly told Director Huo that he came back this time mainly to accomplish three things.
First, we want to reach cooperation with the Beijing City Light Industry Bureau as soon as possible on the trolley suitcase project.
It is hoped that OEM and OEM methods can be used to expand the production of trolley suitcases, thereby expanding export trade to Japan.
In this way, while solving the operating difficulties of some factories under the Light Industry Bureau, it can also earn more foreign exchange for the country.
The second is that he wants to talk to several state-owned travel agencies with certain strength.
Let’s see if these travel agencies are willing to work with Japanese travel agencies to develop domestic travel routes.
If possible, he is willing to act as a middleman to connect him with Yamato Tourism.
In his view, there is no doubt that this is a big cake that can create huge benefits immediately.
Places like Beijing, Chengde, and Shenyang that have royal palaces, gardens, and famous scenic spots can be planned together to design a tourist route focusing on palace culture.
Especially for the retired elderly people in Japan who have the most spending power, it is an attractive tourism project.
Thirdly, he also participated in and contributed to the filming of the movie "Li Xianglan".
The purpose is not only to remind the people of China and Japan to never forget the pain of the war, but also to remind the Japanese people to cherish the existing co-productions. Through this film, the Japanese right-wingers who try to deny the crimes of the war can wake up.
He also hopes to use this form of co-production to create a model for filmmakers from both countries to share their needs in film and television production.
He believes that such an operating model may be able to achieve the purpose of using Japanese funds and technology to cultivate Chinese talents and ultimately improve the level of domestic film and television production. He even wanted to take this as an opportunity to try the reverse export of culture.
For example, through cooperation with some Japanese film and television companies, media and publishers, domestic movies, TV series, and publications can be translated into Japanese and then broadcast and sold in Japan.
In this way, it can not only earn foreign exchange for the country, but also expand the influence of Chinese culture on Japan.
In short, this means the same thing.
Ning Weimin believes that since Japan has made a fortune.
Then we should make full use of the current good situation and take advantage of Japan's glory.
Try to gather more Japanese wool from all aspects to strengthen ourselves.
Of course, at the same time, he also admitted it honestly.
These are the things he wants to accomplish, especially the last two.
Because we need to deal with some special departments and obtain approval before we can actually implement it.
Based on his personal ability, it is a bit unachievable.
I am afraid that Director Huo needs some help to make this possible.
So this time he came not only to listen to Director Huo’s opinions, but also to shamelessly seek help from Director Huo.
Can these last two things be done?
If it can be done, how can it be done?
What to do first and what to do later?
Who should be contacted for what matters, and what matters should be solved with priority?
What should not be rushed and can be postponed temporarily?
These problems all require Director Huo's face-to-face instruction and guidance.
I have to say that what Ning Weimin said was completely beyond Director Huo's expectations.
Although through his own information channels, Director Huo has some understanding of Ning Weimin's situation overseas.
But the information he grasped was basically limited to how this kid ran the Ginza Dan Palace.
Director Huo knew that he had encountered some difficulties, and he also knew that he had made the restaurant prosperous again before he came back.
However, he was not aware of Ning Weimin's other activities in Japan.
Originally, he thought that when Ning Weimin came to him, he would mainly talk about the management of Ginza Tan Palace, and maybe he would show off.
After all, the restaurant has now returned to a business level of 6 million yen per day, with a revenue of nearly 180 million yen in one month.
This can match the turnover of twenty restaurants of the same size in the country, and it is indeed worthy of praise.
But who would have thought that this boy didn't say a word about the restaurant, he only talked about other business.
And both are bigger business plans than just running a restaurant.
It may even involve the planning of an industry, and may also have a certain impact on the future direction of relations between the two countries.
How could this keep him from being surprised and moved?
With such a brilliant plan, it is not enough to describe Ning Weimin as "eating from the bowl and looking at the pot".
Director Huo has to admit that Ning Weimin’s understanding of politics, economics and international relations is indeed unique.
Moreover, he also remains quite rational and sober on some important issues involving the relations between the two countries.
From the overall perspective, it has even surpassed many experts in foreign affairs and has reached the height of advance planning.
It is very worthy of the attention and reference of the foreign affairs department.
So even he couldn't deny that he was surprised, but his heart was already burning hot with Ning Weimin's flowing thoughts and idealistic long-term plans.
“You really surprise me. I thought you came here today to talk to me about your restaurant and how you opened the eyes of the Japanese with your palace dishes and captured them. My stomach. Who would have thought that you would have such a big appetite and ask me for hard food? My dear, you really shocked me. You have to do foreign travel and export movies and TV series. ? Do you know how many people are staring at these things? No matter how difficult the questions are for you, you can swallow them just by yourself. ?”
Ning Weimin has been listening carefully, knowing that this is not only a beating, but also an assessment and a questioning.
He responded without hesitation or flinching.
"Leader, I am not greedy, I just really want to do something. After all, I have gone out, and I have certain resources at home and abroad, so I have this advantage and condition. If you look at us in vain If high-quality cultural resources are wasted like this, then am I not a heartless fool? If these resources can be effectively used, while the country can benefit, it can also promote the development of our industry and continue to strengthen ourselves. What's the point? Why not?”
“Besides, I don’t want to take all the benefits in my own hands. I just want to facilitate these things as soon as possible so that more people can benefit from it. I am really just an introducer. If the deal is successful, it will promote the overall progress of the industry, and more people can participate, and I can only benefit from the catering aspect. "
"There is also the export agency right in film and television culture. I just don't want our stuff to be sold to foreigners at a low price and let Japan take it back and resell it at a very low price. So I don't want to take it away from others. As for the meat in my mouth, a few more circulation links in China will have no impact on me. I can even advance money to purchase the relevant copyrights and bear the cost of translation myself, as long as I am the last person to negotiate terms with foreigners. In short, I assure you that the money I earned must come from 'foreign'."
After saying these words, Ning Weimin couldn't help but chuckle confidently.
Even Peng Yuan, who was listening in, was infected and nodded frequently.
As a result, Director Huo became more and more pleased and felt energetic.
Although he was still a little unsure for the moment, whether he could help Ning Weimin with these two things and clear the obstacles ahead for him.
But he was indeed reassured by Ning Weimin's starting point and purpose.
Besides, he is not even in his seventies or eighties.
He is still motivated and believes that nothing in this world is impossible, only unimaginable.
He feels that no matter what you do, you must first dare to think about it before you can finally realize it.
That’s why he admires Ning Weimin from the bottom of his heart
In his opinion, Ning Weimin is indeed a bit whimsical even if he acts out of the ordinary.
But it is far better than those who don't even dare to think about it and only know how to eat what is ready in front of them.
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
How big a person’s heart is, how big his achievements will be.
Ning Weimin is a thoughtful person, so he can do great things.
In this way, with joy and appreciation, Director Huo poured tea for Ning Weimin with his own hands, giving him a not-so-clear euphemistic promise.
Even after happily ending the conversation and having a pleasant meal, he condescended and personally sent Ning Weimin outside the hospital.
It was a coincidence that when they walked out together, they bumped into the fat girl who was good friends with Huo Xin and came to the door with her director husband carrying gifts.
Only this time, even the fat girl known as the "Ruffian from a Well-known Family" did not dare to make any mistakes and embarrass Ning Weimin on the spot.
On the contrary, both she and the fifth-generation director seemed to be frustrated.
Under the extremely shocked gaze, they watched in disbelief as Director Huo, who had a slightly red face and had obviously drunk a lot of wine, stood outside the hospital with a smile and shook hands with Ning Weimin again and again.
He also seriously told his driver to deliver Ning Weimin to his doorstep. (End of this chapter)
