Chapter 2076

Zhou Andong really didn't expect that the important guest the old man wanted to introduce to him was actually Mr. Huo. He was the businessman he respected the most, and also the only businessman to have a state funeral.

Zhou Andong took a deep breath and supported Seeing Jian Qiu as they walked over. At this time, the old man and Mr. Huo also looked over, both of them wearing kind and amiable smiles on their faces.

Mr. Huo's life was a legendary life. In later generations, most Chinese people knew that there was such a patriotic businessman.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, under the circumstances where Western countries implemented a comprehensive embargo on our country and Britain carried out armed anti-smuggling operations.

He organized a sizable fleet in Xiangjiang, transported a large amount of urgently needed materials for the country, and effectively supported the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Of course, there was no lack of abuse and slander against Mr. Huo on the internet, saying that he was just a businessman and that transporting materials to the country during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was just to make money.

In the eighties, Mr. Huo was the first Hong Kong businessman to step into the mainland for investment. However, there were always some people who liked to speculate and slander without reason.

They claimed that the reason Mr. Huo chose to invest in the mainland was because he was suppressed by the British government, had no foothold in Xiangjiang, lost his living space, and had no choice but to come to the mainland to seek opportunities.

In addition, they repeatedly emphasized that Mr. Huo, as a businessman, had no other purpose than to pursue profit. The so-called support for national economic construction was just to gild his own face and seek maximum benefits.

But in Zhou Andong's view, it was understandable for a businessman to pursue profit, but being able to actively support national construction while making money was already commendable.

After all, there were many rats who forgot their ancestors, eating the food their mother gave them while smashing their mother's pot. While enjoying the resources given by the country, they wantonly destroyed, slandered, and defamed.

Therefore, Zhou Andong had always held respect for those businessmen who could support national construction while making money.

However, if Mr. Huo were only like this, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be draped in the national flag and have a state funeral when he passed away.

From this, it could be seen that what we knew about Mr. Huo's contribution to the country was definitely just the tip of the iceberg. More unknown efforts and dedications were the reasons that truly won him respect and admiration.

Watching Zhou Andong support Seeing Jian Qiu as they came over, the old man was very satisfied: "Mr. Huo, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter's husband, Zhou Andong. This is my granddaughter, Seeing Jian Qiu."

Mr. Huo said with a smile: "I am not unfamiliar with Mr. Zhou. I often see him in the news, especially recently, acquiring Sony's shares and becoming Sony's fourth-largest shareholder. Even an old man like me feels blood boiling when I see the news."

Zhou Andong bent over slightly and said very humbly: "Grandpa Huo, please don't call me Mr. Just call me Andong or Dongzi."

"Good, then I'll call you Andong." Zhou Andong's "Grandpa Huo" made Mr. Huo laugh happily, the wrinkles on his face deepening a bit. He looked at Zhou Andong, his eyes full of appreciation, and then turned to look at Seeing Jian Qiu, his gaze becoming kind again.

Seeing Jian Qiu felt Mr. Huo's gaze, bent over slightly, revealed a sweet smile, and called out softly: "Hello, Grandpa Huo!"

"Good, good, good, you are both good children." Mr. Huo laughed even more brightly and nodded repeatedly: "Sit down quickly, don't stand."

Zhou Andong carefully supported Seeing Jian Qiu to sit down, his movements gentle and considerate. Not only the old man, but even Mr. Huo looked on with relief in his eyes.

Subsequently, Mr. Huo said with emotion: "Truly young and promising. To have achieved such proud accomplishments at the age of twenty-plus is truly a talent I have only seen once."

Zhou Andong responded humbly: "You flatter me. Actually, it's just good luck."

"Luck is also a kind of ability." Mr. Huo shook his head slightly: "Without ability, no matter how good the luck is, one can only be content with small wealth and cannot achieve great wealth to benefit the people.

Every successful person has a part of luck, but without enough ability and strength, one cannot seize opportunities and succeed. Only by possessing excellent ability and quality can one demonstrate one's value in the face of opportunity."

Zhou Andong listened humbly. Although he had much more wealth than Mr. Huo at this time, in terms of life experience, he still had a gap compared to this wise old man, even with two lifetimes added together.

"Andong!" Mr. Huo asked: "You acquired Sony's shares and became Sony's fourth-largest shareholder. What are you going to do next?"

Zhou Andong organized his language: "As a Chinese person, my becoming Sony's fourth-largest shareholder is a disgrace to Sony and all Japanese people.

And Sony will absolutely not let me have the right to speak, let alone let me intervene in Sony's management and operations. However, I am a shareholder after all, and the fourth-largest one at that.

Even if I can't get the right to speak or intervene in management and operations, I have the right to review every one of Sony's R&D projects."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong laughed: "If Sony is compared to a person, I am the cancer cell growing on Sony's body.

I cannot control Sony's words and deeds, but if this cancer cell of mine is not cleared out, Sony's body will get worse and worse until it dies."

Mr. Huo widened his eyes and said incredulously: "Are you trying to bring Sony down?"

"How is that possible?" Zhou Andong shook his head: "Although Sony is weak now, its body was very strong before. It's not that easy to bring it down. Besides, I don't have the leisure time to keep messing with Sony."

Not only Mr. Huo, but even the old man didn't understand. Since you aren't trying to bring Sony down, what are you talking about with this review of Sony's R&D projects and cancer cells?

"The existence of this cancer cell of mine won't kill Sony, but it will make its body weaker and weaker, make it uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, quite uncomfortable."

Zhou Andong looked at the two old men: "So, Sony will absolutely not allow this cancer cell of mine to grow. It will try every possible means, even at the cost of paying a huge price, to excise me early."

Mr. Huo's heart stirred, and he looked at Zhou Andong and asked: "Your goal is not Sony's shares, let alone the status of the fourth-largest shareholder?"

"That thing is useless to me." Zhou Andong curled his lips: "Sony's shares are nothing more than adding another string of numbers to my account; they have no meaning.

As for the status of the fourth-largest shareholder, it's not that I, Zhou Andong, am arrogant, but I really don't look down on it. Even if you gave me all of Sony, if I were in a bad mood, I wouldn't want it."

The old man asked curiously: "Then what do you want?"
