The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

Lin Ming's body shook violently!

Whether it was Zhou Wennian's tone or his eyes, they seemed to be explaining something to him.

It shouldn't even be described as 'explanation', but warning!

It's just that due to his identity, he couldn't say some things.

But Lin Ming could roughly guess some of them.

Zhou Wennian was using cars and people to metaphorically describe something!

Although Lin Ming developed very quickly, his life level was not high.

Take the official as an example.

The most powerful people he came into contact with were Zhou Wennian, Xiang Weidong, and Zhou Mingli.

Although Zhou Wennian served as a frontier official in Donglin Province, that was only in the past.

Zhou Mingli is now only the head of Blue Island City, and he can't even reach the provincial level.

The strongest one is Xiang Weidong, who will be transferred to the imperial capital soon.

However.

According to the business map in Lin Ming's mind, Xiang Weidong alone may not be able to protect himself!

Even if Zhou Mingli, who will definitely be transferred to Donglin Province in the future, is added, it is still not enough!

Zhou Wennian must know this, but he still said this to himself.

This shows how deep this pool of water is!

"Grandpa, what should I do?"

Lin Ming looked at Zhou Wennian eagerly and asked for advice.

"Do you think your power is stronger or others' power is stronger?"

Zhou Wennian asked: "Or do you think your power is reliable or others' power is reliable?"

Lin Ming was shocked again.

He was shocked by Zhou Wennian's sharp insight.

He is worthy of being an old hand who has been in the officialdom for many years.

I'm afraid he has guessed what I was thinking just now.

"I want to protect myself with my own power, but I have to be able to do it." Lin Ming said.

"You can do it! And you have already done it!" Zhou Wennian said.

Lin Ming was even more confused: "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"Charity!"

Zhou Wennian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lin Ming.

Lin Ming didn't care about being rude now, he just looked at Zhou Wennian eagerly.

He was very cunning.

But when it came to things at this level, he could only rely on Zhou Wennian for guidance.

"To be precise, charity is just one of them."

Zhou Wennian said: "Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself."

"Some people remember favors, while others are ungrateful."

"And ungrateful people are often greedy, they are like a deep well that can never be filled!"

Lin Ming listened carefully, not missing a word.

"You give someone a piece of candy today, tomorrow the other person wants ten pieces of candy, the day after tomorrow a hundred pieces, the day after tomorrow a thousand pieces... One day, everything that belongs to you will be emptied, and all your efforts will only be for others."

Zhou Wennian said slowly: "I say, listen, don't think too much, don't think about it, don't think about it."

Lin Ming took a deep breath.

Zhou Wennian continued, "Why do people need to eat? Because food contains nutrients and various necessities to keep everyone alive."

"Vegetables are cheap, but people must eat them. They cannot live without them."

"Expect other things to replace vegetables?"

"I can tell you this: nothing can do it!"

"Even if there is, the most fundamental source of such things must be vegetables themselves!"

"Now you are not the one who eats vegetables, but the vegetables!"

Although Zhou Wennian has been using vague metaphors to express it.

But Lin Ming can still figure it out very quickly.

"If you want nothing to threaten you, then you must have the ability to make them dare not threaten you!"

"Remember, it's not 'cannot threaten you', but 'dare not' threaten you!"

"Then the question is, what should you do to make the other party dare not threaten you?"

Lin Ming fell into deep thought.

Violence?

This is definitely not advisable.

Money?

When will your wealth reach that level?

Zhou Wennian obviously didn't mean that, otherwise he wouldn't have said that to me.

Then what else?

Rights?

I never thought about developing in the political field.

From the beginning, Lin Ming didn't want to have too many restrictions, otherwise the word "businessman" would have completely lost its concept.

"What is it?" Lin Ming muttered to himself.

Zhou Wennian didn't point it out directly, but just sat there quietly, as if he was testing Lin Ming intentionally.

I don't know how long it has been!

"Charity! Grandpa, you just mentioned charity!"

Lin Ming slapped his thigh fiercely: "Yes... Because those poor people in the mountainous areas need it, so what I do will be called"Charity"!"

"That is to say...only when others' needs for me reach a certain level, those pairs of eyes hidden in the dark will not dare to put their eyes on me! Not to mention threatening me!"

Hearing this, Zhou Wennian's eyes suddenly burst into light!

"Smart!"

Seemingly because of excitement, Zhou Wennian patted Lin Ming's shoulder hard.

"Stinky boy, others say that you have been self-indulgent, not doing your job properly, and even domestic violence against your wife and daughter!"

"Old man, I don't understand, how can you, such a smart person, reach that level?"

Lin Ming's old face blushed: "Ahem...Grandpa, in fact, these are all facts. I did do a lot of stupid things at the beginning, but it may be because of those things that I woke up!"

"Okay, the past is over, I am interested in you now."

Zhou Wennian waved his hand and said: "What you said just now is indeed correct. Only when others have needs for you will they not set their sights on you. ”

“The more demand there is, the more people will care about you, and the fewer people will dare to threaten you!”

“But I have said before that this demand is not only reflected in charity. Heartless people will not care about the separation of life and death in those poor mountainous areas. If your goal is only charity, then the road ahead of you is still a long way to go.”

Lin Ming pondered for a moment: “Grandpa, are you referring to the various special-effect drugs under Phoenix Pharmaceuticals?”

“Various? Where did the various come from? Isn’t Phoenix Pharmaceuticals currently just a special cold medicine?” Zhou Wennian asked back.

“I am dissatisfied with you, old man. We developed a special athlete’s foot cream a year ago. It is as effective as special cold medicine for athlete’s foot, corns and other problems. "Lin Ming said truthfully.

It is no secret that the special effect foot and foot cream will be on the market soon.

Besides, he also knew that Zhou Wennian was kind to him from the bottom of his heart.

If he still kept it a secret after saying this, he would be too ungrateful.

Lin Ming thought that Zhou Wennian would be surprised after he mentioned the special effect foot and foot cream.

But the old man frowned and frowned, looking very unhappy.
