"Xiaoxiao!" Liu Lanya saw that Tong Xiao was a bit wrong, poked her with her finger, "What's wrong!"

"No... nothing." Tong Xiao picked up the apple in a panic, took a messy bite, then stuffed the apple and remote control into Liu Lanya's arms, "I'm tired, going to sleep first."

Tong Xiao lifted her leg, accidentally tripped on the leg of the coffee table, staggered, and if Liu Lanya hadn't supported her quickly, she would have fallen.

"Xiaoxiao!" Liu Lanya said worriedly: "What's wrong with you."

"I'm fine!" Tong Xiao pushed Liu Lanya away, walked quickly back to the room, closed the door with a bang, and threw herself on the bed.

Tong Xiao's heart seemed to be grabbed fiercely by an invisible big hand; that kind of pain was hard to describe in words.

"Hehehe..."

Tong Xiao suddenly laughed, but tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Liu Lanya looked worriedly at Tong Xiao's bedroom, holding the remote control in her hand, changing channels messily.

Time passed bit by bit, and Liu Lanya began to feel upset.

She threw the remote control aside, and the TV screen stayed on the second channel.

"Sigh!" Liu Lanya sighed; she had a guess in her heart, but didn't dare to be sure.

At this time, the TV screen changed, and Zhou Andong appeared again, actually an exclusive interview.

"Factory Director Zhou, hello, first of all, thank you for accepting this exclusive interview. At this moment, being able to sit down and chat with you, I am very excited."

Zhou Andong sat generously opposite Miss Yang, with a smile on his face: "I am honored to be able to communicate face-to-face with my idol."

Miss Yang smiled happily: "Factory Director Zhou, the development of the Jiangzhou Liquor Factory is visible to the whole country. Why, in just about nine months, did it develop into an industry-leading liquor enterprise with high popularity? Please introduce it to us."

Zhou Andong said: "In the face of this great opportunity of reform and opening up, enterprises must make rapid adjustments and changes to adapt to new developments and opportunities."

Miss Yang said: "What are the adjustments and changes you are talking about?"

"Innovation!" Zhou Andong said: "For enterprises, only innovation can lead to development. Only by knowing how to innovate can one seize opportunities in the orderly changes of the market.

However, our country lacks innovation, mainly because we don't respect intellectual property rights, don't have a strict intellectual property protection system, plus the social culture lacks an inclusive spirit, doesn't encourage trial and error, and doesn't tolerate individuality, which leads to no one being willing to create original work.

Because if you create original work and succeed, the credit might not be yours, and if you fail, your future might be gone, so everyone is keen on plagiarism, simple and effective, but in this way, no matter what field, our country can only chase behind others' butts, and catching up with Britain and surpassing America becomes empty talk."

Zhou Andong didn't know that because of these words, the station leaders argued for several days, some saying to delete it, some saying to keep it.

Finally, it was reported to the ministry, and then sent to the inner court; yesterday it received approval, and today the news and exclusive interview were all aired.

"Well said!" Miss Yang said: "Can you talk about our country's economic development?"

"This topic is a bit big." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I am not an economist, just a businessman who does some small business; talk, I definitely can't talk. But I can share a small personal opinion.

Internal reform, external opening, this is a fundamental policy for our country's socialist construction. Attracting investment is the top priority, but I have discovered a problem.

The preferential policies enjoyed by foreign-funded enterprises in China are not only unavailable to private enterprises, but because of limited funds, they are struggling to survive, which is very unfair.

With the deepening of reform and opening up, the economy has entered a new normal, and the private economy will become the biggest engine of our country's economic development. Only when private enterprises develop can the country's economy truly stabilize and improve.

I say this, and many people will definitely sneer, saying that I, Zhou Andong, only know how to grandstand. I won't argue about this; twenty years later, as long as everyone is alive, they will know whether I am grandstanding or not..."

Tong Xiao lay on the bed, listening to Zhou Andong's voice coming from the TV outside, listening very intently for a while, but her eyes became very cold.

Suddenly, the TV had no sound, and then a knock on the door sounded: "Xiaoxiao!"

Tong Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm her mood: "I was almost asleep, what's the matter?"

Hearing Tong Xiao's tone, there was nothing unusual, so Liu Lanya breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing, you sleep, I'm going to sleep too."

December 14, 1992, the twenty-first day of the eleventh lunar month, Monday!

An exclusive interview made Zhou Andong instantly become the hottest figure in the country, with more heat than the film and television stars at this time. Some media interview invitation letters flew toward the Jiangzhou Liquor Factory one after another.

However, just as Zhou Andong said, voices criticizing him for grandstanding appeared. If you don't understand economics, don't talk nonsense and mislead the public.

Others even ridiculed him, saying that the private economy would become the biggest engine of economic development; they thought this was the funniest joke they had ever heard.

At Qin Chi headquarters, Zhang Shenghui stood in front of the office window with his hands behind his back, his face serious.

Zhou Andong had killed his way back to the Jiangzhou Liquor Factory; actually, he was somewhat prepared in his heart, so he wasn't too surprised.

Instead, he implemented the plan ahead of schedule, completely beating Jiang Xiaobai down, which made him very proud.

So what if you, Zhou Andong, returned to the liquor factory; now Qin Chi is already mature in the Three Norths market.

Since Jiang Xiaobai has been defeated, it is very difficult to raise its head again; even if you, Zhou Andong, have great abilities, you can't save the situation.

So he had been pondering how to give Jiang Xiaobai a head-on blow when Qin Chi goes nationwide next year.

But just at this time, news came from Liaoning Province that the British Embassy Counselor visited Jiangzhou, visited the Jiangzhou Liquor Factory, and ordered one ton of Jiang Xiaobai; importantly, this batch of Jiang Xiaobai was ordered by the British royal family.

Zhang Shenghui immediately realized that his trouble was coming. Sure enough, in just a few days, Jiang Xiaobai's sales in Liaoning Province rose steadily. If Qin Chi didn't respond, Jiang Xiaobai recovering its lost territory in Liaoning was only a matter of time.

However, Zhang Shenghui believed that Zhou Andong would definitely seize such a favorable situation and counterattack Qin Chi. But he waited for several days, and the Jiangzhou Liquor Factory had no movement.

This made him suspicious, and he didn't dare to act rashly, just fearing that Zhou Andong had already dug a pit and was waiting for him to jump in.

It wasn't until last night that he suddenly realized. The news and exclusive interview, this power was almost the same as a missile, plus the news of the British royal family purchasing Jiang Xiaobai, Zhou Andong didn't need to make any reaction at all.
