I want to work hard too!

Zhao Mingyang called Cai Qimin and conveyed Wu Zhonghua's words to him. Cai Qimin asked Zhao Mingyang to drive to pick him up in the afternoon, to pick him up early, and to buy some good ingredients.

Zhao Mingyang wanted to ask Cai Qimin, but it was probably inconvenient to say it on the phone, or there might be someone around him who was inconvenient to say it, so Zhao Mingyang didn't ask in detail.

For the afternoon class, Zhao Mingyang adjusted the time with other teachers, he went to class first, and then drove to pick up Cai Qimin after the class.

When he arrived at the gate of the school, Cai Qimin got in the car directly and told Zhao Mingyang to go straight to the vegetable market. He knew which store had fresh vegetables. If he ordered this one, the morning market would be gone, but he often went to one store to buy, and that store kept some fresh ones for him every day.

There were also some seafood, which he sent to Wu Zhonghua's house in advance.

Zhao Mingyang drove curiously and asked: "Brother, what does the Nan family mean?"

Zhao Mingyang was puzzled when he asked, Cai Qimin was an old smoker, he didn't ask Zhao Mingyang if he could smoke in the car, he just lit it up, because he saw smoke in Zhao Mingyang's armrest box, probably as a spare.

Cai Qimin lit it up and took a puff and said, "You really don't know?"

"What don't you know?" Zhao Mingyang asked back.

"Then you don't know, and you don't ask if you know. This Nanjia is Yueqing Nanjia. According to legend, it has a history of more than 800 years. In fact, it found a famous person as an ancestor, and then recognized the ancestor. Nanyi is the ancestor that the Nanjia said. It is a celebrity recorded in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In fact, the Nan families all over the country also say that they are descendants of Nanyi, they just want to say that they are descendants of a famous family, but the real strength of this Nan family belongs to the Yueqing Nan family, because this family has been prosperous for more than a hundred years.

Most of the earliest Nanjia people in Yueqing area were squires. What is a squire?
The gentry class is a unique class in the feudal society of China. It is mainly composed of imperial examinations and unofficial officials or scholars, small and medium-sized local landlords with more culture, small and medium-sized officials who have retired and returned to their hometowns or have been living in the countryside for a long time to recuperate, clan elders, etc. Influential characters in rural society.They are similar to officials but different from officials, similar to people but above them.

Although some of them once held limited authority and a very small number of them may be promoted to the official office, on the whole, they have always been in the position of the opposition faction of the feudal society and the ruling group.The various social positions they acquired were typical manifestations of the feudal ruling structure in the operation of their rural social organizations.

To put it bluntly, most of the squires are a group of prosperous people from the same area. The Nan family has a century-old foundation in Yueqing. You should be familiar with modern celebrities, such as Mr. Nan Huai.

The Nan family mainly has both civil and military skills. A group of people go to business, and a group of people go to study. It is really a combination of chaebols and academics.

Their family went out to sea for business a hundred years ago during the period of the Republic of China. They said they went out to do business, but in fact their assets were transferred.

A group of business people have all gone overseas, while a group of scholars have stayed in China. Their families can live and work in peace and contentment at home and abroad and come and go freely, leaving a lot of transfer channels for themselves.

The Nan family is very powerful and has a pivotal position in Wenzhou business circles. Think about it, the Nan family has status in overseas business circles, and the Nan family still has status in domestic academic circles. If their family continues like this, basically there will be no more The same is true for 200 years. …

This group of people from the big family really has backgrounds beyond your imagination, and they have strong connections. Compared with others, you and I are really nothing. I can say that our current limit may be The threshold of others.

And our teacher Wu Zhonghua is the nephew of the old man who is a scholar in the Nan family. He is our teacher's uncle, and he has been in contact with him all the time.

This time the teacher is recommending us to the Nan family, which can guarantee us a stable word for the next few decades. "

Zhao Mingyang nodded, couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "I used to watch movies, TV dramas and novels, and I always thought that most of these families over a hundred years old were in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. I didn't expect that we also have them here. Brother, are there many such families?"

"Let's put it this way, it's no secret that the Ye family and the Chen family in Guangzhou are no longer a secret. There are also the South, Zhang, and North Kong families that most people know about. In addition to the Nan family and the Qian family, there are quite a few such families.

In fact, there are not many in the north, just the Confucian family. Because of the ancestral hall culture in the south, there are many families here, but no one has them. They went out one after another, mostly overseas.

In the 80s, they were also invited by an old man to help the construction of their hometown. In fact, some foreign capital is not necessarily foreign capital, but everyone thinks it is foreign capital, but it is also foreign capital in a strict sense. After all, it is not registered and established in China.

Why do you say it is not foreign capital? Because according to our traditional cognition, whoever is at the helm is the property of that family.

For example, many of the foreign capital we come into contact with are established by the people who went out in the early days. For example, among the richest people in Xinmatai, including the top [-] people with wealth, [-]% are descendants of the people who went out at the beginning.

For example, Zhejiang merchants, on the surface, Jack Ma has the right to speak. In fact, his right to speak is not as good as that of the descendants of the Nan family. This surname may not be a family, but the surname makes them all a family, an interest group , Just like we surround the boat of Teacher Wu, even if the teacher is gone in a hundred years, we can't stop it. If we break it, we will be scattered, and when we gather together, we are a force.

Of course, in terms of popularity, Jack Ma must be more famous than the current descendants of the Nan family. After all, these big families don't like being in front of the media very much in recent years.

In fact, there is a rule, you may understand after studying, many overseas companies like to use orthographic and Thai characters, in fact, it means righteousness and peace of the country and the people.

From a rational point of view, the biggest difference between the century-old families in the East and the century-old families in the West is the feeling of family and country, which cannot be changed, because the Eastern people regard "family" as extremely important.

The family will be connected to the root and the origin, especially the better the people, the more they want to know the ins and outs of their own family. Don’t think that those century-old families and cows in the West are all upstarts and have not yet understood the big family. Long-term, if things go on like this, it is inevitable that the east will rise and the west will fall, because the East has completely figured out the Western routines, especially China has a foundation of thousands of years of history, and they only understand us at the tip of the iceberg. "

Zhao Mingyang did not expect that there really are so many century-old families. These families have been prosperous for 200 years. I really saw something new again. It turned out that they went to sea a hundred years ago, and they were still powerful Yes, the world has not changed. …

Some of the ones that have been launched are nothing more than upstarts. It has only been a few decades, and the old and famous families can really hide.

"Mingyang, didn't you notice something?" Cai Qimin said.

Zhao Mingyang drove the car and said, "Senior brother, explain in detail."

"Haven't you noticed that many professional managers and presidents hired by some world-class companies are all native Chinese? Why? Because your own people trust your own people. This is a great change in a century. The world The stage is about to return to our hands. This change is closely related to the group of people who went out in the early days. Why does Europe have a good relationship with us now?
How many Chinese businessmen are there in Europe?Zhejiang merchants, Cantonese merchants, etc., millions of people are there, and the entire economic lifeline has been caught. These businessmen are doing business there, driving the economy and labor there. If they transfer their assets and industries, It can drag down the economy there in an instant.

Why do you think Europe is so honest and obedient? There is no other way, if you can’t beat it, you join, so we have to follow the trend and need to walk around with these people. "

Zhao Mingyang understands what Cai Qimin means. The next step may be international efforts, so many people can't hide it, that is, the Eastern and Western families are competing, competing for strength, and each draws their camps. Some members of the big families will directly They came out, divided by surname, but those who came out were also a group of people who could show their faces and be suitable for the media.

In fact, Zhao Mingyang can also see that many foreign companies have suddenly recruited a person in China to become the president of a world-class company. From this point of view, those foreign companies may have been originally Chinese, but it was not clear before, and now it is clear that they directly recruit a president. Who am I and where do I come from? The capitals of the East and the West have begun to compete head-on on the international stage. The East liked to hide before, but now it can no longer hide.

Zhao Mingyang still didn't see through some things, and he also didn't see through the Xu family. The Xu family's lineage may not be limited to the group of grandpa Xu Qingqing's family, but Zhao Mingyang only saw to this extent.

This is not to blame for Zhao Mingyang, he had no contact with him in his previous life, what about the Yueqing Nanjia, those who didn’t know thought that the novel was fabricated by you, it turned out to be real, but it seems that he didn’t understand or come into contact with it at all, this novel comes from life It's true.

It's just that most people can't accept that the Rothschild family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, especially a group of people who hate the rich. It is really crazy to know that there are still families that have been prosperous for hundreds of years in China. It would be better for them not to know.

Zhao Mingyang drove to the vegetable market, Cai Qimin went to buy some ingredients, put them in the trunk and asked Zhao Mingyang to drive straight to Wu Zhonghua's house.

The two chatted some more on the way, during which Cai Qimin's words instantly made Zhao Mingyang feel that everything had been figured out. Cai Qimin said: "Do you think those powerful people in the past didn't understand wealth distribution and international investment? From the Silk Road The road has already begun."

Yes, in fact, it has been there for a long time, but there has been no one. People in the past knew how to hire bodyguards, and the employment of servants was also for property protection. China had trade relations with neighboring countries thousands of years ago, not the Republic of China It just started. It is indeed a misunderstanding of many people that only people who went abroad during the Republic of China. …

It is probably unknown when this group of famous families who came out of China left, but they were really too low-key.

This time, Zhao Mingyang really started to get in touch with these old and famous families.

It can be regarded as a breakthrough, and Wu Zhonghua can be regarded as a thank you. He led Zhao Mingyang into two schools twice, the school of learning and the school of fame. These two schools are a class breakthrough.

When they arrived at Wu Zhonghua's house, Zhao Mingyang and Cai Qimin started to work. Cai Qimin is also a good cook. He said that he often cooks at home. It's not because he loves his wife or anything, but because he likes to cook. He can concentrate on cooking in the kitchen. do one thing.

Zhao Mingyang also likes this kind of feeling. He stays in the kitchen alone, completes one thing with a goal, and can see the results quickly. Every attempt can be summed up to experience.

This time, it is mainly the local taste of Zhejiang Province, which is actually similar to that of Shencheng and southern Jiangsu.

Cai Qimin said while cutting the fish fillet, "Mingyang, did you notice anything?"

"Ok?"

"The more tasteful the place, the worse the economy seems to be." Cai Qimin said.

Zhao Mingyang thought about it, and it seems that it is true. The richer places seem to have a lighter taste. For example, places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou and Hangzhou are really clean.

"A regional advantage?" Zhao Mingyang said.

"Yes, but not many, because there is no regional advantage in Zhejiang Province. This is why Zhejiang Province used to have a lot of streets and alleys. Many regions also have regional advantages. Regional advantages are just that these rich areas are magnified. On the one hand, it is actually an excuse that many people make for themselves.

Most of the heavy-tasting areas want to cook as many meals as possible with as few dishes as possible, which can fill the stomach without losing the taste and are easy to eat.

Do you think that most high-end restaurants focus on original and delicious food, why?
Because it is not only as simple as wanting to fill your stomach, but also wanting more, pursuing more, wanting more, and wanting more, then you will definitely want to get more, then there is no shortcut, you can only choose to try your best Get it by any means.

A single desire is nothing more than enough to eat and drink and some physiological needs. This is actually the most basic primitive need of most creatures. This is why many people will say that some areas are getting poorer and poorer. If you find out carefully, there will be some overlap. , That is, heavy flavors and multiple births seem to be highly overlapping in many regions.

It’s nothing more than giving up the two desires and not having high demands on desires. If you break away from these two desires, it will be terrible, because there will be more desires, such as fishing and tea tasting, but most of them still pursue the most basic Desire is still the need to eat and physiological needs, but this requirement has been raised, and it is no longer hunger and choice.

It's about pursuing quality. Then, there is a phenomenon, either you change the people around you, or the people around you change you, or you leave.

In a circle, people can only stay together if they think about the same, and the more greedy people are, they will definitely want the best of everything, the best school, the best hospital, the best environment, etc. The key is not that people in some ordinary areas are economically better and richer, but that people in this area generally do not satisfy the most primitive and simple desires. This is the most concentrated group of greed. …

If you want people to have an appetite for light food, it must satisfy the taste, taste, taste, and both are indispensable. Not only is it delicious, but it also has to look good. This is the quality requirement. The second is the choice of a spouse. Vision and so on, the requirements of the province are not simply those of the opposite sex, but also a more comprehensive understanding of good looks and figure.

This is why some big cities have such a fast pace and work so much overtime. This group of people want to get rich quickly to realize their greed, such as eating a good meal, buying a good dress, going out for a trip, etc. He asked too much desire It's not easy to be satisfied. "

"Senior brother is right." After Zhao Mingyang responded, he washed all the fruits, put some in the fruit bowl, and made some into fruit platters and fruit salads.

Today I plan to make ten dishes and two soups, four cold and six hot dishes, as well as a seafood soup and vegetable soup.

"It's almost enough, just two people come over." Wu Zhonghua said.

Zhao Mingyang cleaned the house again, and even bought some potted plants.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, a black Maybach stopped at the door of the old man's house, and two people got off, a middle-aged woman and a young woman. The middle-aged woman wore a white suit with curly hair, and the young woman left behind. Wearing a shawl, hair and a white dress, the first impression of the two women is that they are ladies.

The driver took out the gift from the trunk, Zhao Mingyang and Cai Qimin quickly took it and took it into the house, the driver drove away quickly, he didn't want to stay here for too long and occupy the lane and attract others' attention.

"Uncle Wu, are you in good health?" The middle-aged woman stepped forward and asked Wu Zhonghua.

"Very good, you little girl has grown up so much. At that time, I saw you graduated from primary school when you were born, and then you went abroad. I can't even recognize you on the street." Wu Zhonghua laughed He looked at the women and said, inviting them into the house.

Zhao Mingyang looked at the two women coming towards him, are they mother and daughter?They do look alike, the old man won't introduce someone to himself, will he?
Probably impossible, he knew himself and Xu Qingqing.

Zhao Mingyang and the young woman looked at each other again, Zhao Mingyang always felt that this woman gave people a very strange feeling.
