This explained why he had the idea of going public.
In terms of thinking, Yang Fugui was still better than Little Wei. Li He was quite impressed with Yang Fugui's direction. Yang Fugui was able to train a little girl who had not even gone to junior high to be able to use both literature and martial arts. At the age of twenty, she was still holding a junior high English textbook and started from the beginning.
Of course, Little Wei was not the kind of person who lacked brains. He just did not have the heart to do so. He was still very smart and had the ruthlessness of a stubborn person.
Most importantly, Little Wei was a local. Li He already knew the advantages of being a local. If it were not for the local people like Su Ming and Skinny Monkey, he might not even be able to make it to where he was today.
Even if he could swallow his pride and patience and set up a stall on the street selling calculators and electronic products, he might not have the same effect as Su Ming and the others. Just by hearing his Dutch accent, people would spend a few minutes sizing him up and down, and they would be fifty to sixty percent more suspicious.
Even if he had the advantage of being from a famous university, if he did mention it, people might even laugh at him. You are a university student? I am a PhD student!
This way, he would have to waste more time and effort to prove that he was a genuine and honest university student!
There were no tears, only jokes!
However, it was different for the local people. For those who came from other places, it would be extremely difficult for them to find their way to the temple with a pig's head. They would only need to joke around and say a few words to each other.
Also, the local people in Beijing and Shenzhen were different from Pujiang, which was a city that had opened its ports too early. Most of the local people were real local people. They either had an inseparable relationship with their relatives, or they had three to five houses after demolition. Some even built their own houses. Most of them were rich, or it was due to squandering. There were very few in between.
Pujiang was a special case. Most of the people were from the southern part of Jiangsu or other places. The real local people should be the farmers in the suburbs. Most of them had their own land and built their own houses. Their accent was quite different from the so-called Pujiang dialect.
Of course, regardless if they were real or fake local people, the most important thing was their household registration. As long as they had a household registration, they would be able to live a better life than the foreigners.
This was Li He's so-called "localization" strategy. Even when he was in Hong Kong or overseas, he was either an overseas Chinese or a local. It was just like when foreign companies entered China and hired Chinese people. There had to be someone to lead the way.
Although Li He had a lot of problems in the past, and he did not have much hope, he had grown up fast.
Although Huang Guoyu and Huang Guoyu were smart, they were not as smart as Huang Guoyu. Huang Guoyu and Huang Guoyu were still young.
Therefore, Li He was more at ease with using Xiaowei. On the other hand, even without Li He, Xiaowei could rely on her family's old house to become a tycoon in the future. It was just a matter of size.
"I had discussed with Huang Bingxin. He can help us get a sponsor to get us listed in Hong Kong. Once we get listed, the money will come in." Xiao Wei is dancing excitedly.
"Yes, the money will come fast." What Li He actually wanted to ensure was the control of Jingmei Group. As for Jingmei Electronics, it didn't matter. He just said to Xiaowei, "Just think about it carefully. Arrange for it to be delivered to me for my signature."
"Thank you, brother." Huang Guoyu thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade him. He did not expect Li He to agree so easily.
Before he could calm down from his excitement, Li He gave him a kick.
"Go do what you need to do. Don't be an eyesore here."
"Sigh." He was the general manager of Jingmei Group, the actual helmsman of the future listed company. Many people wanted to curry favor with him!
But he was still called an eyesore!
A sense of frustration arose in his heart!
"Oh, right." Li He called out to Xiaowei who had already stepped out of the door. "Tomorrow, everyone at home should greet him. Although it's just an empty greeting, after all, the dead can't come back to life. But Monk Pu has no relatives, we can't let him be too lonely."
"Understood." Huang Guoyu nodded and left after making sure Li He did not reply.
Monk Pu's funeral was much grander than expected. Many people came to offer their condolences, and their ranks were quite high. Even those who didn't come sent wreaths, and the number of wreaths alone was uncountable. The previous funerals of Old Man Yu and Old Man Zhu paled in comparison to this. Among them, more than half were elegiac couplets and wreaths from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese.
Old Man Lee sighed and asked Li He, "How is it?"
"Unexpected." Li He did not expect that such an ordinary and inconspicuous old man would have such a great influence and cause such a sensation. In fact, it was obvious just by looking at the domestic media. All the big names were here.
Therefore, at this moment, after Old Man Lee and Li He had finished paying their respects, they could only step back and make room for the people queuing behind them because there were no more places for them to stand.
"This child?" Old Man Lee was the first to notice that Li Lan's mood was not right.
Since Li Lan saw Monk Pu's photo in the mourning hall, he did not know what "death" meant, or he was affected by the atmosphere inside. His eyes were moist, and he grinned, looking like he wanted to cry but did not dare to.
"Don't hold it in." Li He patted his son's back. "Cry if you want to."
The reason why he brought his son here was that he had a master-disciple relationship with Monk Pu, so he had to kowtow to show his gratitude.
Li Lan suddenly burst into tears. Perhaps he did not know why he was crying. He just felt like crying and couldn't hold back his tears.
"Let's go back," Old Man Lee said. "Let's send Old Pu here. Someone else will do the rest."
They naturally did not worry.
As usual, Old Man Lee still refused to go to Li He's house. Li He could only ask Dong Hao to send Li Lan home first, but Li Lan clung to his waist and refused to go home.
"What's wrong?" Li He suddenly spoke softly to his son and said gently, "Ask your Uncle Dong to send you home. Tell Mom that Dad is going to drink and will be home later."
Li Lan did not say a word. He buried his head in his son's body and did not let go.
"You!" Li He wanted to get angry, but he suppressed it. He felt his shirt was wet.
"You send him home first. A drink won't make a difference." Old Man Lee touched Li Lan's head. "You are a good boy. Your master did not treat you in vain."
"Let's go." Li He picked up Li Lan and found his car. After getting into the car, he fell asleep on Li He's shoulder.
When they got home, He Fang found Li Lan's eyes were red and swollen. She put him on the bed and closed the door.
She scolded Li He indiscriminately, "You are getting more and more inconsiderate! Scolding him for no reason is to show off your ability! "
"It's better than you hitting him every day, right? I didn't even lift a finger. "Li He did not explain. This was not his style!
He, Li Laoer, wanted to use facts to prove that he had a backbone and could not be manipulated by a woman!
"I hit him for his own good! I have never scolded a child like you for no reason! A child needs self-respect too! "
"You are good at quibbling." Li He asked in return, "Hitting a child will give him self-respect?"
He Fang said calmly, "Li Laoer, are you just trying to quarrel with me?"
"Huh?"
This attitude?
It was the prelude to a storm.
Li He thought about it and quickly said, "I didn't scold him."
"How can he cry if you didn't scold him?" He Fang naturally did not believe it.
"How can he feel good when Monk Pu is gone?" Li He said angrily, "He really thinks of his son as a fool."
Before He Fang could finish the word "you", he walked out of the courtyard with his head held high and chest puffed out. He promised Old Man Lee that he would go for a drink.
When Li He arrived, Zhou Ping personally cooked. The table was already filled with dishes.
The dinner was not at a restaurant, but at Shoushan's house. Apart from his aunt, he was the only one living in the house. He did not live with his daughter and son-in-law. Although all the family business had been given to his daughter and son-in-law, he firmly believed that his daughter who married out would naturally belong to them.
Moreover, he did not want to live with his daughter's mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. What he wanted was that pride and peace.
"You're cold and cheerless. Miserable and miserable." Old Man Li downed a glass of wine and spoke bluntly.
"What do you know? You have a son. Don't you live alone? "Shoushan was no longer the Shoushan of the past. He dared to refute now.
Old Man Li was the same as him. He did not live with his son all the time. They would only gather together during Chinese New Year.
"I brought my grandson with me." Old Man Li admired Shou Shan's attitude.
He was too lonely. There were fewer and fewer people who could quarrel with him.
"Who is Monk Pu's illegitimate son?" As soon as Li He thought of this question, he could not stop his curiosity. He wanted to find out in any case.
"Is there such a thing?" Shoushan was also puzzled. "Why don't I know?"
"Hehe … You'd better not know." Old Man Lee laughed. "If this gets out, Monk Pu will not let me go. I don't want to affect his son's future. It's not bad to have a scholarly family background on his resume. In fact, this matter is known by the heavens and the earth. Old Man Pu and his son know it. Old Man Zhu and I know it. There is no fifth person in the world who knows it."
"Forget it." Shoushan corrected him proudly. "How could the monk's woman not know? After all, she gave birth to him. "
"Yes." Li He looked at Old Man Lee's calm expression and was a little uncertain.
Was there really such a ridiculous thing?
Old Man Lee said, "I'm determined to keep this matter to myself for the rest of my life. Old Man Zhu didn't say it before he closed his eyes. Monk Pu also didn't say it. I won't say it. You'd better not ask. I'll just tell you the truth. In fact, his son came today and you even greeted him, although his attitude was not very friendly. "
"Are you kidding me? Many people greeted me today. Xiaowei, Su Ming, Chen Kui, Minister Wang, Minister Xu, and Director Wu. I know all of them and greeted them politely. Only …" Li He's heart skipped a beat. "Zhu Xuanlong …"
Zhu Weiqi's father, Old Man Zhu's son.
Old Man Lee smiled without saying anything. "I didn't say anything."
"That's impossible!" Li He swore. "Monk Pu and Old Man Zhu have such a good relationship. How could he make Old Man Zhu a cuckold? Moreover, when Old Man Zhu passed away, Zhu Xuanlong and I had an argument at the funeral over the issue of the burial site. At that time, Monk Pu also spoke up. Both of us looked normal, there was nothing strange about them. How could they be father and son! "
He made up a lot of things in his head and thought it was ridiculous!
"What cuckold? That's so unpleasant." Old Man Lee glared at him. "You're always talking about unreliable things."
"Then tell me. Don't make me guess blindly." Li He wished he could pull out Old Man Lee's beard. This ambiguous attitude was too provocative!
Once people's curiosity was aroused! Their thirst for knowledge was simply inflated!
"I have to keep it a secret." Old Man Lee still shook his head.
Shou Shan patted his head and said, "Zhu Xuanlong and Monk Pu do look a bit alike. But if you say that Pu Bei Le has such a dirty mind, I absolutely don't believe it. He's a romantic and elegant man, but he wouldn't be so despicable. Moreover, Old Man Zhu's wife … "
He pointed to his head. "It's not normal here. She doesn't leave the house all year round."
"You still have a brain." Old Man Lee praised.
"Hey, I'm begging you. Don't keep me guessing." Li He was a little annoyed. "It must be Zhu Xuanlong. How complicated can it be? You tell us. We promise we won't tell anyone. "
"We won't tell anyone even if you beat us to death." Shou Shan also nodded in agreement. His curiosity was no less than Li He's.
Both of them looked at Old Man Lee eagerly.
Old Man Lee smacked his lips and drank a glass of wine. He smiled and said, "In fact, this matter can be simple or complicated."
"Say it." Li He urged him. He couldn't bear to see him dawdling.
Old Man Lee continued, "Zhu Xuanlong must be Monk Pu's son. But he's not Old Man Zhu's son, nor is he Old Man Zhu's wife's son. He has nothing to do with the Zhu family.
When the Japanese arrived in Changsha, Old Man Zhu was scared out of his wits. He quit his job as the Director of Education and ran here. You all know about this? "
"Yes, yes." Li He and Shou Shan couldn't wait to nod. They hoped that Old Man Lee would not be so long-winded.
Old Man Lee continued, "On the way to escape, his son had just turned one month old. Probably he couldn't stand the bumpy road and was not acclimatized to the climate. He died in less than three days. Oh, this is bad. His wife couldn't stand this kind of stimulation. Plus, she was suffering all the way. Her brain couldn't react. She just kept saying 'son, son' no matter what I asked. "He lit a cigarette and continued," The Qing Dynasty was long gone.
Although Monk Pu didn't have any income, he still had some family assets. He was still arrogant. He even hired a prostitute. I don't know how she got pregnant. That woman didn't care about her life. She insisted on giving birth to the child regardless of Monk Pu's unwillingness. In the end, she really gave birth. Monk Pu was anxious. He was not a person who could stand this kind of restraint. Besides, although the Japanese surrendered, his future was still worrying. He couldn't be a burden. He thought that he was in the prime of his life. When couldn't he have another child?
So he came to me and Old Man Zhu to discuss a way to give the child away.
Although he was playful, it was his own flesh and blood. He didn't dare to entrust it to others. After a few days, we still couldn't figure it out.
In the end, Old Man Zhu gritted his teeth and carried the child. It saved his wife from nagging about their son every day. It could not only ease his wife's longing but also help Monk Pu solve his problem. Why not? After the child was carried over, his illness really improved a little. Although he was still nagging, he was really raised by me. He didn't suffer from cold or hunger. "
"That's it?" Li He didn't believe it.
Old Man Li said disdainfully, "What do you think?"
Li He continued to ask, "What happened to that woman?"
"Old Man Zhu's wife passed away when Zhu Xuanlong was in primary school. She relied on taking medicine all year round. Even if it was good medicine, it was poisonous. Humans can't withstand medicine." It was Shou Shan who answered.
Li He waved his hand. "I'm talking about Zhu Xuanlong's mother."
Old Man Li shook his head helplessly. "Why did I say that the woman didn't want to live? Monk Pu wanted to give the child to the Zhu Family. She was putting on a brave front and was naturally very unwilling. The night she was forcibly taken away, she jumped into the well. When she was fished out, her body was swollen and her eyes were still open. "
Shou Shan said, "I know who jumped into the well. At that time, it was said that it was a servant. His hands and feet were not clean. He was afraid of taking responsibility and jumped into the well to escape punishment."
"Sigh." Li He finally recalled a sentence from Old Man Qin. From the Li Family to the Yu Family, there was no one who didn't eat people. He thought that the kind Monk Pu was an exception, but he was too naive.
