Chapter 1379

"I'm just putting myself in your shoes," Zhou Andong waved his hand, "If I didn't have that ability, I wouldn't say anything. If my own life is a mess, I wouldn't have the mood to care about whether others live or die, don't you agree?"

"Indeed!" Zhang Yunqing nodded in strong agreement, "When one's own days are lived with no tomorrow, how can one care about others?"

Zhou Andong picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, "Although my current ability is also limited, within my limited ability, what I can do, I still have to do.

The old man said, let some people get rich first. But, those who get rich first, after making money, is it enough to put it in their own pockets? Of course not, because the old man had another sentence after that, which is that those who get rich first should lead those who get rich later.

I can't control what others do, but I, Zhou Andong, have been hungry, and I understand the lives of ordinary employees very well; every person, every family has this or that difficulty.

So, I have repeatedly emphasized that the Yugong Group must be a service-oriented enterprise for society; wealth is received from the people, so it must be returned to the people. What is gained from the self is scattered by the self, using the talents of the world to serve the needs of the world..."

Zhang Yunqing's heart was truly moved; so this was Zhou Andong.

Compared to the young man in front of him, he felt very small; the gap was too large.

And Wu Shige beside him looked thoughtful, occasionally looking up at Zhou Andong with a deep frown, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Andong's eyes were a bit distant, and his voice was also very soft.

"Our country, our nation, has experienced too much suffering. We must open our minds and look far ahead; when the time comes, you will find that there are still many things we need to do, and this is also the responsibility of our generation."

The expression on Zhou Andong's face became very concerned about the country and the people, and his tone was also full of worry.

"Maybe you don't believe what I'm saying," Zhou Andong smiled slightly and shook his head, "Actually, whether you believe it or not is not important; I just need to hold onto my original intention."

"I believe it!"

Zhang Yunqing's eyes showed a look of admiration; why did he believe it so much?

Because Zhou Andong had indeed been doing exactly that; the Hope Primary Schools donated by the Yugong Group, just those reported by the media, had reached more than twenty.

You have to know this was only in one year, and there must be others that hadn't been reported.

In addition, there were donations; twenty million US dollars donated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which everyone in the country knew about.

And for every bottle of beverage and Jiang Xiaobai sold, one jiao would be donated.

He didn't know what the sales volume of Bing Hong Cha, Very Cola, and Jiang Xiaobai were, but he estimated that the donated money must have exceeded one hundred million.

In his view, rather than saying Zhou Andong had a broad mind, it was better to say that in Zhou Andong's heart, there was a sense of patriotism that others found hard to reach.

"Chairman Zhou!" Zhang Yunqing raised his teacup, "There is no liquor here, so I will use tea instead of liquor to toast you."

After speaking, this guy tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp.

"It's still a bit hot," Zhang Yunqing put down the teacup and said with a smile.

Zhou Andong laughed out loud, and Wu Shige's mouth also twitched.

"How about this, you go to the electronics factory and find Liu Qingjun; I will call him in a moment. As for how to talk and whether you can succeed, that depends on yourselves."

"No problem!" Zhang Yunqing suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and said, "Then we won't disturb Chairman Zhou anymore."

Wu Shige opened his mouth wanting to say something, but looking at Zhang Yunqing, he swallowed the words and sighed secretly.

Zhou Andong personally saw the two out of the factory, watched them leave, and then turned back, the smile on his face never disappearing.

Jian Qiu came out of her office and saw Zhou Andong seeing the two off, and then she stood at the door of Zhou Andong's office waiting.

A few minutes later, Zhou Andong returned, the smile on his face looking treacherous no matter how you looked at it; he must be plotting against someone again.

"Who were those two people just now?"

Zhou Andong walked over, helped Jian Qiu into the office, "One is the Factory Director of the Fengjing Components Factory, and the other is the Factory Director of the Fengjing Electric Motor Factory."

Jian Qiu asked curiously, "What did they come to find you for?"

Zhou Andong explained the matter, "I am a person who has always been soft-hearted and can't bear to see the suffering in the world, so I got hot-headed and agreed to them."

"Is it that you don't understand yourself, or that I don't understand you?" Jian Qiu sneered, "Just now you were smiling so treacherously, you must be plotting against someone again, right?"

"I protest," Zhou Andong raised his fist, making a protesting gesture, "I have such a pure and innocent heart, yet you slander me as treacherous; doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes, "Cut the crap, tell me your plan."

Zhou Andong stubbornly raised his head, "I said, I'm just soft-hearted and want to help..."

Jian Qiu stretched out her finger and pinched Zhou Andong's soft flesh.

"Ouch, damn it!" Zhou Andong grabbed Jian Qiu's mischievous hand, "You destructive woman, are you trying to murder your husband?"

Jian Qiu didn't let go, just looked at Zhou Andong with a smile, "Are you going to say it?"

"I'll say it!" Zhou Andong said with a crying face, "Whether it's the whole machine or the parts, they all make money, why wouldn't I sell them?"

Jian Qiu said, "By doing this, you've added a competitor, and it's in the same province."

Zhou Andong curled his lip, "I'm not even afraid of giants like Sony, Hitachi, and Siemens, so why would I care about one more competitor?"

"Wrong!" Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong with a smile, and the hand that had been pinching Zhou Andong's soft flesh began to slowly increase its strength.

"Hey hey hey, don't pinch," Zhou Andong said hurriedly, "In the next two years, the number of enterprises entering the VCD field will definitely increase, and the competition will become more intense; they won't be able to survive.

And after two or three years of training, those skilled workers are what we need; by then, whether it's acquisition or OEM, we will save a lot of time and capital."

Jian Qiu understood and let go, "You mean, let them train skilled workers for us?"

"Right!" Zhou Andong smiled again, "It makes money now, and can be used by us in the future; why not do it?"

Jian Qiu said with a smile, "Are you so sure they won't survive?"

"Do you still need to ask me that?" Zhou Andong snorted, "A state-owned enterprise with serious losses—if anyone cared about whether it lived or died, Wu Shige and Zhang Yunqing wouldn't have had the nerve to run to me.

However, after transforming and making money, it becomes a piece of fat meat, and some people will definitely greedily reach in. If there are too many mothers-in-law managing the house, do you not know what the consequences will be?

Unless the enterprise's leadership is very strong and can block these reaching hands. Otherwise, no matter how strong the body is, it can't withstand the gnawing of pests.

Then again, even if they do survive, so what? The domestic market is so big, we can't earn all the money by ourselves."
