I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

If ordinary people follow their hearts in everything, then the world will inevitably be in chaos. Human society is in order because most of the time people will restrain their behavior for one reason or another.

At a certain moment, Hou Xiaowei had an almost obedient attitude towards him. This change can be felt. As a normal male, on the one hand, it is understandable to feel a little proud because of this change, but more It is a kind of vigilance bound by a sense of morality... The little girl is too young, so it is best not to have any ambiguous interactions.

Then Yi Yang's attitude became slightly distant, and he made a few jokes with her, saying it was time to go out.

Hou Xiaowei felt a little regretful, but still obeyed.

For Yi Yang, chatting with Hou Lin was more interesting than interacting with Hou Xiaowei.

Since we have decided to sleep at Hou Lin's house tonight, the next schedule does not have to be so rigid. Zhao Xiuhua showed Yi Yang the room, and then the family sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while. The TV broadcast about Jiangnan Some news in the province has introduced a series of policies on industrial upgrading, and peace and prosperity are rising.

Hou Xiaowei behaved quietly when her parents were present, sitting aside obediently and listening to the adults talking. This is probably related to the "adults talk and children should not interrupt" type of education she received since childhood.

While watching the news, Hou Lin chatted about some random trivial matters. In order to take care of Yi Yang's mood, most of the topics were things that Yi Yang knew. Ask him what he thinks. When it comes to study matters, he will inevitably talk about it. Take Hou Xiaowei with you, scold her, and then tell her that you, girl, need to learn how to do this from brother Yi Yang.

During this process, Yi Yang would naturally think of his cousin Yi Xiaoqing. That girl would often encounter this kind of scene, but the emotions between Hou Xiaowei and Yi Xiaoqing were completely different.

Although Hou Lin can talk a few words, you can tell from his tone that he actually doesn't care much about Hou Xiaowei's success. He asked her to learn from Yi Yang in a helpless tone... maybe In the eyes of people like Hou Lin, they don't expect their daughters to become talented. Peace and joy are enough.

Hou Xiaowei listened to the whole process with a smile, without a word of rebuttal. Even at the end of the topic, she would shyly say to Yi Yang: "Then please ask Brother Yi Yang to tutor me more..."

Yi Yang just responded with a smile on his face.

Good atmosphere.

After talking for a while, Yi Yang tried to direct the conversation to his father. It had been some time since dinner. Hou Lin looked at the time and called Zhao Xiuhua and said, "Go get two side dishes and open a bottle of 1573."

Yi Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Hou Lin looking at him with a smile in his eyes: "Drink some wine."

Yi Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not even eighteen yet..."

"Oh, I'm an adult soon. It doesn't matter if I drink a little. How can a man do it if he doesn't drink?"

This is the mark of that era, and even a rule of conduct they believe in. The standard for men's adulthood cannot be measured by value judgments.

Yi Yang hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Zhao Xiuhua fried a plate of peanuts, cut a plate of braised beef, and placed them quietly on the coffee table. Then she sat in the corner of the sofa with her mother, Hou Xiaowei, to make room for Yi Yang and Hou Lin.

Hou Lin poured a small glass of wine for Yi Yang and filled it for himself before slowly continuing to talk about the eventful years when he started a business with Yi Hongyao.

Before, Yi Yang had always been wary of Hou Lin. With these few contacts, his wary mood gradually became less, but he still didn't let it go completely until he saw Hou Lin drinking. Sipping wine and narrating that wonderful story vividly, the vigilance in Yi Yang's heart melted away little by little.

He was indeed his father's true brother.

Probably an intuition.

Yi Yang's cheeks were slightly red. In fact, he didn't drink much. He was very conscious and just a little excited. However, Hou Lin drank a bit too much. After drinking, he gently put down the cup and talked about a few things. Yi Hongyao's deeds, the corners of his eyes are red, and his eyes are filled with emotion.

"Back then, when we started from scratch, Brother Hong Yao made a good show of being a wolf with nothing... People outside said that he was lucky. In fact, only our closest brothers knew that he was lucky in just three words. of?"

Yi Yang listened silently, picked up his wine glass and toasted Hou Lin.

Hou Lin put down the cup and patted Yi Yang on the shoulder: "Yi Yang, the most important life principle I learned from your father is the word morality. These two words can really teach you Brings good luck.”

After a pause, Hou Lin picked up a peanut with his chopsticks, and then continued: "Many people know the story of us being empty handed, but they don't know that before that, we had folded dozens of dollars for a project. Thousands! Hundreds of thousands in that era was not a small amount of money."

"Hundreds of thousands?" Yi Yang was a little surprised.

Hou Lin nodded, picked up another peanut with chopsticks, and continued: "Many people think that business wars are commercial espionage, legal loopholes, and stock market turmoil. But to put it bluntly, those are a group of people who have never done anything. It’s made up by laypeople who have done business, but what does a real business war look like? Of course, it only focuses on some industries that I know about, and may not be comprehensive..."

"The real business battles I have experienced are actually social interactions and interpersonal relationships. It can be said to be simple, but it can be said to be complex... It is probably the most complicated thing in the world."

"The business world is actually a battlefield of human relations!"

"Why do I say this? The first project we did back then, Brother Hong Yao spent a lot of effort to get it with the project leader of a big company. In order to win the project, he promised to give The person in charge received a kickback of hundreds of thousands."

"I just didn't expect that not long after the contract was signed and before the matter was completed, the person in charge got uremia and stepped down from his seat. The other person who took over took advantage of some loopholes in the contract and concluded that the contract was invalid. They cost us hundreds of thousands more.”

"Originally, we didn't earn much from that project, and the previous person in charge suddenly fell ill and became a disabled person, basically not helping us. So Lu Dingsheng and I had the same opinion at the time, and we both believed that the former person should not be given the money. That kickback from a responsible person.”

"But Brother Hong Yao said that a person must be ethical. Although the previous person in charge did not actually help us, the reason was not because of his own subjective unwillingness, so he wanted to do it despite my and Lu Dingsheng's objections. Keep your promise and give the person in charge a kickback."

Yi Yang was silent after hearing this.

Hou Lin glanced at Yi Yang, smiled, and said, "This incident reflects the difference in life patterns between us and my eldest brother. At that time, Lu Dingsheng and I both felt that the person in charge was a useless person and would not be needed in the future. It would be a pure waste for him to give this money away... Of course my eldest brother agrees with this, and he really did it purely because of the morality he insisted on."

"But I didn't expect that just six months later, the hundreds of thousands of rebates would give our company a chance to take off."

"The former person in charge was extremely moved because of the eldest brother's morality. You can also imagine the situation. Uremia, resigning from the post, all kinds of blows, and the person is gone, but the eldest brother can still treat him like that. He treats him like that." The eldest brother is both guilty and grateful."

"Half a year later, a nephew of the former person in charge became the executive deputy mayor of Hanning City. He introduced his eldest brother to the nephew. Through this relationship, we got a government project and earned our true meaning. The first pot of gold!"

Speaking of this, Hou Lin did not elaborate, but Yi Yang couldn't help but feel extremely shocked... He could probably imagine how high-spirited his father was back then. Although he just said "through this relationship" in an understatement, at that time My father is young and doesn’t have much capital. How could he win that project just by “knowing” him through such a superficial relationship?

Obviously, there are more wonderful stories in between.

His mood was filled with various emotions, including memories of his father and some strong unwillingness. If it hadn't been for that damn accident, even if his father's company encountered difficulties, I believe that with his ability If you can get through the difficulties, then you won't have such a hard time, and even your experiences in the previous life will probably be reversed, right? But this thought turned into self-deprecation in an instant. In the final analysis, it was just a meaningless complaint.

However, at this time, Yi Yang became very interested in the project Hou Lin was talking about. He asked: "Uncle Hou, how did you achieve the empty-handed white wolf you mentioned? Can you give me an example?"

I ask this just to see if I can learn something that I can use based on my grasp of future trends.

Hou Lin smiled, picked up another chopstick and picked up the peanuts, and said: "In fact, any empty-handed wolf is just using some information gaps to make money, but this information gap is not necessarily omnipotent. When I had dinner Didn't I tell you an example, such as Hanjing Huayuan in the west of the city? At that time, Qianyu Group relied on its information advantage to obtain the land development rights at a very low cost. Everyone thought they made a lot of money, but when the building was built, Everyone discovered that this is probably the most failed project of Qianyu Group. There are more than 200 houses with an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters. It has only been sold for half a year, but only one or two units have been sold... Haha, this is about 1,000 square meters. Mr. Qiang of the Yu Group is seriously ill."

This was the second time Yi Yang heard the name "Hanjing Huayuan" tonight. During dinner, he was wondering where he heard the name. When he heard Hou Lin say this, he suddenly had an idea. As soon as it appeared, some information about the previous life was suddenly integrated in my mind.

In his previous life, after he dropped out of high school, about half a year or a year later, he learned to repair cars from a relative who was engaged in maintenance. At that time, he went to live in an industrial park in the west of Hanning City for a period of time.

And near that industrial park, there is a building called Hanjing Huayuan.

Why are you so familiar with this Hanjing Huayuan? Because this property is close to an industrial park, has a poor environment and is far from the city center, the house price once dropped to 2,000 yuan, but no one cared about it. At that time, the relative joked that it would be a good idea to buy a house here if you have money.

Later, probably around the second semester of his sophomore year in high school, a battery manufacturing giant in the east, a company called Beyond Technology Group, moved an entire production line to Hanning City and relocated it together with its employees. Jinghuayuan was directly transformed into an employee community in one go.

The sudden emergence of memories made Yi Yang very excited. He thought for a while and suddenly asked Hou Lin: "Uncle Hou, if a company can take over that community in one go in a year, can you find a way to make a profit?"

Hou Lin was stunned, glanced at Yi Yang with a strange expression, and said, "Did you tell the fortune?"

"Ahem..." Yi Yang realized that he had lost his composure. After all, he was only a high school student. Although this incident was actually recorded in his memory, it was a memory about the future. It is said that Even Qianyu Group didn't know this news before the sale of that community. Now if I tell it, it will definitely be regarded as a joke.

However, Yi Yang felt that if Hou Lin really used this opportunity to do something, he might really be able to do it again. If he gave up this opportunity, he would be a little unwilling.

But he also understands that for the time being, he can't understand the details of such business moves that cost tens of millions. Could it be that what he thinks is simple is not the same for Hou Lin?

But no matter what, he still had to give it a try. Yi Yang thought for a while and said: "I have paid attention to some news recently. Isn't the country recently engaged in a grand strategy of industrial transfer... I heard that several large companies have begun to transfer some workers. It seems that Jiangnan Province has also introduced some relevant policy support for the transfer of high-cost industries to central and western cities, so I am thinking that if a company moves its industrial chain to the west industrial park in the city and there is a need to relocate employees, that Wouldn’t Hanjing Huayuan become a popular place all of a sudden?”

After saying that, Yi Yang began to look at Hou Lin secretly, feeling a little... uneasy.

I originally thought that Hou Lin would laugh it off and say a few words about children's thoughts, but to Yi Yang's surprise, after hearing this, Hou Lin frowned and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he looked at him with a strange look. He looked at Yi Yang and shook his head: "What you said is not impossible...and I think many people don't want to go here."

Yi Yang felt happy. Of course he didn't expect such a sentence to make Hou Lin believe and do something. He just planted a seed in his heart first and then continued to search for some related information in the next few days. Just give him the information. He has no way to directly intervene in how this matter will develop, so just let it take its course.

When they ended this topic, both Hou Xiaowei and Zhao Xiuhua went back to their rooms for a while because they were bored.

Hou Lin looked at the time, then lowered his head and looked at the peanuts on the table, and said, "Every time I drink, I always have peanuts as a side dish. Do you know why?"

Yi Yang shook his head.

Hou Lin chuckled: "This is what your father taught me. Drinking and socializing is very important when doing business, but more importantly, the wine must be drunk when the mind is clear to be valuable. You put it on the table A plate of peanuts, drink and eat at the same time. If you can still pick up the peanuts, it means your brain is not confused yet. If you can't pick them up, it means the meal is almost over."

Hou Lin used chopsticks to twist a peanut and smiled: "Although I can still pick it up now, let's stop here for this meal."
