Chapter 2503

Zhou Andong sighed, paced to the desk, supported the table with one hand, jumped onto the table lightly, and then picked up the cigarettes and lighter on the table to light one.

"This world is a huge casino, and a person's life, from the moment of birth, is a gamble. In this huge casino full of unknowns and variables, the myriad phenomena of the world and the various states of all living beings are intertwined, forming a bizarre picture scroll.

Here, some laugh, some cry, some are proud, some are frustrated. Those who laugh win everything and are proud for a lifetime; those who cry lose everything and are frustrated for a lifetime.

But most people are just ordinary. They are busy running around in this huge casino, bumping around like headless flies. When they see someone winning money at a certain card table, they will run over to follow the trend and place a bet without hesitation.

And when someone wins money at another card table, they will still run over to place a bet. They are busy all day long, but they can't win big money, and naturally, they can't lose big money, but they can maintain their livelihood and support their families.

In addition, there are some self-proclaimed smart people who are often full of confidence in their abilities and the cards in their hands. These people are often winners in past gambling games. This experience of consecutive victories makes them gradually become arrogant and look down on everyone.

And Sun Baocun is such a person. He firmly believes that he holds a good hand, and as long as he throws it out, he can win this gamble against me. It's just that he calculated everything, but didn't calculate that his allies were a bunch of idiots.

Not only did they not cooperate well with him, but they also added a pair of threes to his hand. When he threw the cards out, he realized that there was still a pair of threes in his hand, but it was too late."

Zhou Andong took a puff of the cigarette, reached out to pick up the ashtray and put it on his thigh, then flicked the ash: "Just take you, Zhang Shenghui, after taking over Qin Chi, laying out in Sanbei Province, isn't that also gambling?

And the Yongchuang Tianya Brewery, I asked you to get a bank loan to buy the brewery shares in Qin Chi's hands. You hesitated a bit, but finally listened to me and bought the brewery shares. Isn't that gambling?"

"I came to the Woolen Mill to serve as factory director, isn't that also gambling?" Zhou Andong put the ashtray on his leg on the table, then jumped down and pointed to Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin: "And they follow me, isn't it also gambling that I can win?"

"It's just that my gambling capital is thicker, and I'm not afraid of losing. And since they chose to believe in me and follow me, then if I lose, I naturally won't watch them lose everything and ignore them. I must lead them to make a comeback."

Zhou Andong jumped off the office desk and stretched: "In my life, I won the most important gamble, which allowed me to accumulate a huge gambling capital, and that is the Jiangzhou Winery. So in this gamble at the Woolen Mill, it doesn't matter if I lose, because I can afford to lose."

Zhou Andong checked the time: "Time flies, it's already past twelve. Old Zhang, Old Wu, let's go. I'll treat you to taste the food in the Woolen Mill canteen."

Dong Wenjuan had been standing at the door. Hearing that the factory director was going to eat and had guests, she hurriedly said: "Factory Director, I'll go to the canteen to arrange it."

"Go!" Zhou Andong nodded, turned and sat on the sofa: "Let's go over in half an hour. Secretary Gu, take out your good tea and brew it for us."

Liu Lijuan's secretary, Bai Wenlu, walked in from outside: "Secretary, where is the tea? I'll go brew it."

Gu Bing pointed to the bookshelf: "The tea is on the bookshelf. Wash the teacups well. I haven't used them."

"I'll go wash the teacups!" Dai Weimin's secretary, Kong Yu, walked into the office, then put the teacups into the tea tray and carried them to the water room to wash.

Gu Bing took the cigarettes, distributed them to Wu Hongkang, Zhang Shenghui, and Dai Weimin, then lit one himself, and then threw the cigarette box at Zhou Andong.

"I just finished smoking, I won't smoke anymore." Zhou Andong put the cigarettes on the coffee table, then picked up a newspaper on the coffee table. Seeing that the date was the day before yesterday, he put the newspaper down again.

Gu Bing sat down beside Zhou Andong: "Today's newspapers are all on the desk."

Bai Wenlu bent down to pick up the thermos and was about to go out to the water room to get water. Hearing Gu Bing's words, she put the thermos down again, walked to the desk, picked up a thick stack of newspapers, and then brought them over and put them on the coffee table.

"Thank you!"

Zhou Andong said thank you. On top was the People's Daily. He picked it up and looked for it to see if there was any news about his acquisition of Sony Entertainment. But the front page was naturally all national affairs. His news of acquiring Sony Entertainment was not a small matter, but it was impossible to be on the front page.

Just as he was about to flip past it, he suddenly saw a piece of news. Invested by the State Planning Commission and hosted by the State Education Commission, the China Education and Research Computer Network was officially approved.

The goal of the project was to use advanced and practical computer technology and network communication technology to realize computer networking and information resource sharing between campuses, interconnect with international academic computer networks, and establish a fully functional network management system.

Then there was another piece of news below, also about the Internet. The General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications signed an international Internet agreement between China and the US with the US Department of Commerce. The agreement stipulated that the General Administration of Telecommunications would open two 64K dedicated lines through the US Sprint company, one in Beijing and the other in Shanghai.

Zhou Andong slowly raised his head and handed the newspaper to Zhang Shenghui, who was sitting opposite: "You look at these two pieces of news."

Zhang Shenghui took the newspaper and looked at it. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Andong suspiciously: "What's the problem with this news?"

"There is no problem with the news!" Zhou Andong smiled: "It's just that I saw very, very important information in it."

"Information?" Zhang Shenghui looked down at the news again with a confused face: "What information?"

Wu Hongkang snatched the newspaper and was stunned when he looked at the news: "This is very normal news, why didn't I see what important information is hidden in it?"

"Let me see." Gu Bing took the newspaper. After reading it, he was also full of confusion, and then handed the newspaper to Liu Lijuan: "You look."

Liu Lijuan took the newspaper, lowered her head and scanned it quickly, then was also full of confusion, and finally handed the newspaper to Dai Weimin.

"This is just two pieces of news about computers and the Internet. I didn't see any hidden information either."

Dai Weimin looked at it and said with a smile: "Factory Director, you'd better tell us. We really didn't see any important information in it."

Zhou Andong raised his head slightly, looked out the window, and said in a somewhat ethereal voice: "These two pieces of news tell us that the Internet era has begun."
