Chapter 876 Don't Laugh at Tea Eggs

In Wang Yongqing's view, Qing Yun, who is only 18 years old, is undoubtedly the best candidate for the alliance.

It’s not that Wang Yongqing thinks the boy in front of him has high moral standards or strong abilities.

But the general trend of the world determined that even if Qingyun wanted to take over Formosa Plastics, it would be impossible to do so.

In his view, the situation will not change much in the future, whether he can see it or not.

So he was not worried at all that Qing Yun would take over his position and seize the foundation he had worked hard for his entire life.

As for, why is it Qingyun?

There is no need to say much about his ability. To be able to develop to such a level in just a few months, almost from scratch, Wang Yongqing believed that this was already a blessing from God.

In addition to ability, he values ​​Qing Yun's three major advantages.

First, Qingyun is young enough.

Young enough to be worth betting on.

Qing Yun is 18 years old at this time, and theoretically can take care of his grandchildren's generation.

Second, Qingyun’s future territory is large enough.

Human energy is limited. In the future, I will have to take care of Qingyun of Houpu, and I don’t have the energy to take care of Formosa Plastics.

Third, it’s not about Qingyun, but about him.

He has what Qingyun wants.

He has sufficient shares in both VIA and HTC, owned by his daughter Wang Xuehong.

Although Wang Xuehong is independent, it is impossible for there to be no waves in the business world.

When the storm hit, he naturally had to take care of his daughter's call for help, so he also had a certain share.

Not much, the status of a minority shareholder.

But it is logical to provide an interest-free loan to my daughter without touching on taxes.

Therefore, his influence on Wang Xuehong is actually very huge.

Although he didn't know what Qing Yun wanted specifically.

But the simple logic is 'if someone shows kindness to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief'.

Wang Yongqing knew very well that Qing Yun, who secretly arranged a meeting with his daughter and said that she had important intelligence to share, must have some ulterior motive.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to sneak to the island at this time when he was supposed to be the busiest stage of the annexation war.

What picture?

Of course, it’s technology.

This kid's development is completely unconventional, and everyone knows what he wants to do.

When everyone is used to working as programmers and bricklayers on modern farms developed by America, using the tools provided by America, suddenly there appears in this world a fool who wants to go out into the wild with bare hands and open up new land alone from primitive society.

Everybody wants to see a joke.

Wang Yongqing is no exception.

However, when his own interests became entangled with Qing Yun, he wanted to turn things around in order to gain an iron alliance.

Because he doesn't have to pay too much.

How many tools could primitive people need?

Even if you give him a car, he can't produce gasoline.

While Wang Yongqing was still thinking, Emperor Yun smiled, "Why? Old man, you actually taught me all this."

Wang Yung-ching: ???

Wang Yongqing laughed in surprise when he heard this. He never expected Qingyun to answer like this. This made him feel both surprised and curious.

"This flattery... is a bit stiff, young man, you need to practice more," Wang Yongqing said jokingly.

Qing Yun just shook his head and responded calmly: "You will know after listening to me."

His voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable confidence.

Qingyun began to tell the story of Wang Yongqing's early years of selling rice. This story is almost known to everyone in the business world and is regarded as a classic example of marketing strategy.

But for every thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets.

A story naturally has many different perspectives.

"When you were young and selling rice, you not only remembered the number of people in your customers' households, their rice-buying cycles and preferences, but you also took the initiative to deliver rice to their doorsteps when they were almost done eating."

Qing Yun told the story in a leisurely manner, as if he had witnessed that history with his own eyes.

The story of Wang Yongqing selling rice when he was young became more vivid and specific in his narration.

In an era without modern marketing methods, Wang Yongqing won the trust and reputation of customers with his extreme pursuit of details.

But the story does not end there, Qing Yun continued to add, "In fact, there is another detail that is often overlooked.

Most rice delivery workers would save time by pouring the new rice directly into the old rice jar and be done with it.

But you are different..."

Qing Yun's description was so vivid and specific that Wang Yongqing seemed to be able to see his younger self.

Whether it was windy or rainy, he would carry bags of rice on his shoulders and walk through the narrow streets.

Every time he goes to a store, he doesn't just deliver the goods, but provides attentive service.

He would carefully pour out the old rice from the rice jar. Although this action was small, it reflected his respect for his customers' lives and his responsibility for the quality of the rice.

Then, he wiped the rice jar with a rag to remove possible dust and impurities. This careful behavior made customers feel his professionalism and thoughtfulness.

After cleaning the rice jar, Wang Yongqing would carefully pour new rice into it and then gently cover the top with the old rice.

Doing so not only ensures the freshness of the rice, but also allows customers to use up the old rice the next time they use it, thus avoiding waste.

Although this detail is simple, it was an extremely rare service at the time. It was this insistence on details that left a deep impression on Wang Yongqing's customers.

He completed each rice delivery task carefully.

"You do this not only to maintain the quality of the rice, but also to show respect to your customers."

Qing Yun's words reveal a deep understanding of Wang Yongqing's early behavior.

"Mr. Wang, your Formosa Plastics Group is where it is today, and 9% of its profits come from various seemingly insignificant improvements in details."

Qing Yun knew very well that these seemingly insignificant details were actually the cornerstone of Wang Yongqing's business empire.

As he said, most of the Formosa Plastics Group's profits come from the continuous improvement and accumulation of these details.

Wang Yongqing listened to Qingyun's story with a flash of surprise and approval in his eyes. He did not expect that Qingyun not only knew this story, but also could dig out the details and profound meaning of it.

He was surprised that Qingyun was able to grasp his early experiences so accurately.

He was also pleased because Qingyun not only understood, but also deeply understood the business philosophy behind these experiences.

This attention to detail and ultimate pursuit of service are exactly the business spirit he has always emphasized.

Qing Yun concluded, "This is what you taught me. No matter what you do, details determine success or failure. So, I was well prepared before entering the hotel, because I knew..."

At this point, he winked at Wang Yongqing and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry!"

These completely unrelated words were like a sudden turn, which almost made Wang Yongqing lose his breath and he coughed repeatedly.

Qing Yun patted his back with a smile, a mischievous expression on his face.

It's a relief to let out some anger.

This was the first time in his life that someone pointed a gun at him.

That is Wang Yongqing, the famous patriotic businessman. The majestic image of Wang Yongqing in his previous life gave him too much goodwill.

If it were anyone else, his means of revenge would definitely make the other person's life a fate worse than death.

Looking at the expression on the face of the little bastard next to him, how could the experienced Wang Yongqing not know what this guy was thinking?
Well, choking on your saliva won’t kill you.

He endured.

After a long while, Wang Yongqing finally calmed down after taking a sip of hot water from the thermos cup. He said unhappily,

"This is quite a unique flattery! But... your character is so bad!"

After cursing, he shook his head and said, "You are too careful!"

He understood that Qing Yun didn't want to say how he figured it out.

But it also provides a direction.

Details and suspicion are equally important.

Wang Yongqing was too lazy to delve into the details of what went wrong.

Because traces are actually everywhere, it just depends on whether people are attentive and how detailed they are.

The last sentence of the little bastard is not without reason.

With this mentality, you can indeed find a lot of traces.

At this time, Qing Yun laughed, "To travel the world, you need stability."

Wang Yongqing nodded and smiled, "Yes, be careful."

After saying that, he reached out to Qingyun and asked for a cigarette.

Emperor Yun was very surprised by this.

He asked for a cigarette, but it was obvious that he didn't have any cigarettes on him.

In other words, it is highly likely that Wang Yongqing did not have the habit of smoking, or was restricted from smoking.

However, seeing that the second joint of the old man's left finger was obviously burnt yellow, he immediately understood and looked inquiringly at Wang Yongqing's security guard behind him.

Don't cause any trouble.

Although we know that the old man should still have a few more years to live, it is precisely this kind of unconventional accidents that are the most difficult to prevent.

Since he came into this world, he has changed the fate of too many people.

Wang Yongqing sneered at him and said, "Smoking is harmful to health, but I am 87 years old this year. What does it matter if I smoke one more or one less?"

Qingyun thought about it and agreed.

Well, not really.

However, looking at the figure holding a cigarette and waiting for him to light it, a look called constipation appeared on Yun Di's face.

Fourth-rate smokers...are they all so self-righteous?

He held the fire and lit a cigarette for Wang Yongqing. The old man took a comfortable puff and closed his eyes, savoring the taste.

Qing Yun didn't say anything either, just waited for the old man to enjoy himself.

With one breath, one fifth of the cigarette was gone. I didn't realize this old man had such good lung capacity.

However, if you haven’t smoked for a long time, you will definitely feel dizzy when you take the first puff.

Floating like a fairy.

This is also the biggest reason for failure in quitting smoking.

After a while, Wang Yongqing let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

After taking another puff, he slowly said, "Don't laugh at 'tea egg'."

After saying this, Wang Yongqing shook his head, looked at Qingyun steadily, and said seriously,

"Qingyun... I know that with your rapid rise, you have begun to laugh at the people of the small island for being narrow-minded and not understanding the achievements of domestic development.

But at the same time, you don’t know much about the island, and the island has its own unique characteristics.”

Qing Yun nodded upon hearing this, "Old Wang, I understand. Although the two sides are from the same lineage and have frequent exchanges in various aspects, after a long period of separation, there are many misunderstandings between the two sides.

And this misunderstanding is gradually deepening as your generation gets older. The new generation, for the most part, can only learn about China from television, textbooks, and the Internet.”

At this time, Wang Yongqing mentioned the tea eggs again, which made Qingyun understand clearly: the old man brought tea eggs today on purpose, and his real purpose was not simply to respond to his little trick at the customs.

He realized that this business elder was communicating at a deeper level in a subtle and wise way.

Qingyun understood that Wang Yongqing was using objects to illustrate things. The tea egg here was just a medium, a symbol, using this small thing to express a broader meaning.

This is not only a mild response to the previous customs incident, but also a message to Qingyun: Even if there are misunderstandings and barriers between the two sides, through communication and understanding, common language and cognition can always be found.

Deep in Qingyun's heart, he felt a trace of respect and warmth.

only……

I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic.

In fact, what is even more sad is that the simultaneous construction of dams and walls on both sides has made the generation at the beginning of the century the one who understands each other best.

In another ten years or so, that will be the real lack of understanding.

Wang Yongqing laughed after hearing this and said, "It sounds like you are quite sensible, but when it comes to doing it...tsk tsk!"
