Rebirth 2002: Chic Life

From the countryside to the city, the changes in the environment affected Wu Dong's character.

When he was young, he was always cautious. He was afraid that his words or dress would cause others to look down upon him, until he discovered that no one noticed what he wore, and no one listened carefully to what he said.

People who like you will not dislike the clothes you wear or the accent you speak; people who don't like you, whatever you say and do will be wrong.

……

Just over a week has passed since Zhang Bin resigned, and all information from Wu Dong and Langlang Media has been suppressed by the top 10 competition in "The Voice".

Those comments that are not optimistic about Langlang Media and the criticism of Wu Dong himself can no longer see even a single ripple.

November 2004, 11, Monday, 22:11 noon, art school cafeteria.

Wu Dong, Wen Jianguo, Lin Pingping, and Zhang Min gathered at the table.

"Hey Xiaolin, was Dazhi okay yesterday?"

"It's okay, I slept on the floor all night yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, he kept shouting that he felt comfortable..."

"Hahaha." Zhang Min laughed.

Wen Jianguo sighed with emotion: "Hey~ After experiencing wilderness survival, I realized that sleeping on the floor is also a kind of enjoyment!"

Lin Pingping picked up the pork belly on the plate and looked at Wu Dong, "Why are you so idle these days, staying at school every day? There is no news about you and your company on the Internet. It was so popular last week. How high!”

Wu Dong took a sip of the egg custard and drank it, "As long as it is not related to self-interest, any hot spot will be replaced by new hot spots. ... People only really care about themselves. Have you heard that 600 million people starve to death in Africa? The impact is not as great as that mosquito buzzing around me!”

Lin Pingping swallowed the meat and curled his lips, "Does that mean your company's crisis has been overcome?"

Wu Dong picked up another piece of Guobao Pork, "There was no crisis in the first place, it was just a tense atmosphere deliberately created by competitors. Hey, the school cafeteria changed chefs? This Guobao Pork is cooked very authentically!"

Wen Jianguo only had a portion of egg custard and fried cashew nuts with celery and lily on his plate. He picked up a cashew nut and said, "The new canteen will open soon, and 32 windows are inviting bids."

Wu Dong said oh.

"Ahem, if you want to vote, you are also the school leader. Don't just say oh and it's over. That, uh,"

……

Lin Jing, Fei Jiaming, Zhao Jing, and Zhang Weiwei sat beside them with plates.

Fei Jiaming is very annoying at first glance. He has a slender figure, about 1 meters tall, red lips, white teeth and bright fingers. Originally, such a person should be a sissy, but he actually has a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

Seeing him sitting next to Lin Jing, opposite Zhao Jing and Zhang Weiwei, Wu Dong felt uncomfortable.

"Hello, Principal Wen, Hello, Principal Wu, Hello, Director Zhang, Hello, Director Lin."

"This is Teacher Fei Jiaming, who just graduated from Nanyang University of Arts in Dance this year and is from Feixi."

Wu Dong laughed, "Teacher Fei is really a talented person."

"It's over. A new generation has replaced the old one. It seems that I, the idol of the girls in the art school, will be laid off soon!"

"Hahaha, don't flatter yourself. Since when have you ever been the idol of girls? In the three months since Jiaming came, 27 girls have confessed to him in person, and I have torn up 55 love letters for him. .

Has anyone ever confessed their love to you? Have you ever received a love letter? "Lin Jing laughed at Wu Dong carelessly.

"Hehehehe, I got slapped in the face again, hahahahaha" Lin Pingping laughed.

Zhang Min also looked at Wu Dong with a smile.

Wu Dong didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Well, Teacher Fei, you still have to pay attention to the teacher's ethics and style."

Fei Jiaming quietly kicked Lin Jing, "Teacher Lin is exaggerating. Principal, don't worry, I received a lot of them when I was studying, and I rejected them all..."
-
In the corner of the cafeteria, Lao Wen handed Wu Dong a red panda.

"Where did it come from?"

"I'm here to attend the Yanjing TV party with you."

"Isn't it shameful?"

"Everyone is taking it. Even if I don't take it, the waiter will take it."

Wu Dong took it and took a sip, "It's nothing special!" "It's really a waste of a good thing to smoke it for you."

Wu Dong chuckled, "What did you want to say just now? Let Lin Jing and the others go through it."

"A few friends' relatives want to contract for several windows. Oh, food safety issues can definitely be guaranteed. No matter how high or low, you can choose the window anyway. Raise your hand for me when I need you to vote."

"Oh, what does it mean to me? Then I will raise my hand after you."

"Of course it's not a big deal to you, but to them it's the family's livelihood! By the way, I heard them talking about you being sidelined or something?"

"The company has introduced a lot of off-market funds, and the boss in Xiangjiang helped me guarantee an investment of several hundred million dollars in Lehman Brothers in the bad country."

"Fuck!" Lao Wen was shocked and couldn't even hold the cigarette in his hand.

Lao Wen picked up the cigarette, blew it twice and then held it in his mouth, "U.S. dollars! It wouldn't cost billions in RMB! Are you short of money now?"

“Building a headquarters building and building a data center don’t all cost money!”

Lao Wen asked in confusion: "There is no interest on the borrowed money, so the principal does not have to be repaid?"

"Let's borrow a chicken to lay eggs."

"Chicken, is it that easy to borrow?"

"Sign a gambling agreement, and if the standards are met and the shares are given to them, I will still have control. If the standards are not met, I will be kicked out of my company." Wu Dong slowly blew out a smoke ring.

“Let me just say, while others are raising funds in the ABCD round, you can still insist on being the major shareholder alone.

Let me tell you that I have been researching investment recently and I saw a story.

Two people opened a store together. One insisted on holding 100% of the shares, and the other introduced external investment. After the ABCD round, he only held 5% of the shares. But as he grew in size, he began to negotiate with upstream and downstream suppliers to share low costs, and then opened stores all over the country. The larger the branch, the lower the cost.

In the end, the 100% holding company had no choice but to close its doors..."

After the old article was finished, Wu Dong also finished smoking and chuckled, "Then he packaged it for sale and went to the market to cut leeks?"

Lao Wen said, "The story mainly tells one truth."

Wu Dong, "Well, in the early stage, you will try your best to lower the price and squeeze out your peers. Later, after monopolizing the market, you can do whatever you want. This is the ultimate goal of businessmen. Me too!"

"You also want to squeeze out the monopoly market of your peers?"

"I'm still too far away from the monopoly market. I mainly need to protect myself. The equity structures of several new companies here have also begun to become complicated. A mess of funds have come in, especially many foreign uncles. If they want to do it again, I will You have to weigh it up."

"You are relying on foreigners to show your self-respect!"

"I am called a white wolf with empty gloves!"

Lao Wen put out the cigarette butt and said, "Take what you can and leave!"
-
The enthusiasm of management has been unprecedentedly high after receiving equity. Working for others has a different mentality than working for oneself.

Now, Wu Dong only needs to focus on strategic issues.

Strategy, whether it is economic, cultural or international relations, etc., who can compare with him!

……

Now, the rhythm of his life is clear again.

I train in the morning, go to the office to handle school work in the morning, go back to the studio in the afternoon to write novels and read Weibo, and occasionally communicate with the company's executives.

……

After lunch, according to the rules, Wu Dong would go to the studio to take a nap.

As soon as I pushed the door open,

"Teacher~ah!"

"Ah~~~"

Wu Dong glanced twice and turned around. (End of chapter)
