Along the Yintong River that runs through Jichun, and quite far from the city center, is a large group of newly built buildings, including community hospitals, Longteng shopping malls, and many bus stops. Its architecture and planning are reasonable, and we say Jichun The best homes are never too good to be true.
Of course, this is the residence provided by Longteng Development to its employees. Longteng is not short of money, and the land price is not expensive now, so it must be a good place. The same was true for Zhou Bingkun. He knew that his good brother had done a great job, so he discussed building a piece of land next to it to use in the business district. The villa area he developed is also here.
Originally, he wanted to get a piece of land to build two villas, and the rest of the land was used for landscaping, which was quite arrogant. It was Wang Yan who persuaded him to stop, and then eighteen villas were built. Although it is not cheap, there are many rich people these days, especially Zhou Bingkun's business friends. Before the construction was completed, the remaining sixteen buildings had been sold.
Wang Yan and Lao Zhou's family live in the two buildings on the left among the six buildings in the first row.
Wang Yan is currently at Lao Zhou's house in the first building, where he comes over for dinner as usual. The main reason is that we live close and convenient. Although there are nannies to cook, we live next door, so there is no need to eat separately. Chen Jing was not at home either. She was busy filming with the crew.
Looking at his granddaughter eating and drinking, Zhou Zhigang said with emotion: "Hey, several children in the family have gone to college now, and only Zishan is left at home. It's strangely deserted."
Zhou Zishan's mouth was full of oil after eating: "Grandpa, I will also be admitted to college in a few years."
"Okay, study hard, and in the future, like your brothers and sisters, they will all be admitted to prestigious universities."
Zhou Bingkun looked at his youngest daughter with a smile: "I haven't graduated from elementary school and failed the exams. Why are you taking the exams for college?"
"Go, what can you tell now? My eldest granddaughter will definitely do as well as her brothers and sisters in the future. Isn't that right, Zishan?"
"Yes." These words impressed Zhou Zishan. She nodded repeatedly and looked at her father unconvinced.
Zhou Bingkun shook his head and smiled, looked at Wang Yan and said, "You think this is strange. We have a family of seven children, and all six of them study well, but this one is troublesome."
"It's okay. With you as my father, what can I do if I study well or not? If there's no problem with being a human being, then there's no problem with it. Just play well, right?" Wang Yan smiled and gave the little girl a piece of meat: "Try hard You need to take good care of your body. Uncle, are you doing well recently?"
Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Rong were angry several times, and it took them two years to recover. As soon as I recovered, I couldn't stand idle anymore. I swept the large yards of the two villas back and forth every day, checking the flowers and plants whenever there was nothing to do. Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Zhou Bingkun went to the factory to guard the gate. The old man was very active.
"Okay, pretty good."
"Dad, you can just stay at home. You're sixty-seven, why bother? You can't go on a trip with your mother to see how things have changed in various places over the years. Isn't it good?"
Zhou Zhigang took a sip of wine and looked at his old son angrily: "That's what you call tormenting. Your mother and I are both so old, and our bodies and bones can't support it."
Seeing Zhou Bingkun looking at him, Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It's better not to worry about it. My aunt and uncle are really old. If you don't get used to it, you will have to struggle for a while. It's good now. My uncle is not very energetic. ? When you’ve stayed enough, change places, just find something to do, otherwise you won’t be able to stay idle.”
Zhou Zhigang smiled and said: "I've been working for a lifetime, how can I stay here? Just stay like this, it's pretty good."
"You just can't enjoy the blessings. How about living in such a big house like ours? It's enough to wallow in it, but you still can't stay there?"
"Yes, your old son is very capable, so you can enjoy the blessings." Zhou Zhigang shook his head and smiled, ignored his wife, looked at Wang Yan and said: "When Bingyi came back last month, I heard him say that he wanted to move the light word tablets ?Any further words?"
Without Wang Yan, Zhou Bingkun spoke first. He said: "It was going to be demolished in 1989. The leaders of the municipal party committee have changed a lot, but there has been no movement. I really want to move all the letters. It will take a few more years to get serious. , the city has different opinions, as my brother said last time. After the demolition, where to arrange these people is a problem. There are several other villages in the city. Will they have no objection to the demolition of the optical film? Let’s think about it. Those problems we told you a few years ago are a bunch of bad things, and they can affect the whole body at a moment's notice. They can't be removed by just talking."
"Hey, I don't know when this poor house will be demolished. You said that in Jichun, there are new high-rise buildings everywhere, and the small shabby bungalows with light lettering are uncomfortable to look at. I don't know. What do the city leaders think? Oh, by the way, Bingkun, please gather some materials. It’s time for our house and Xiaoyan’s old house to be repaired. I’ll go back in the next two days to take a look and repair it.”
Zhou Bingkun nodded in response and didn't say anything about throwing the dilapidated house away. That was his father's wish. It can't be demolished until it's time to demolish it.
After chatting and laughing, Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun went to the garden facing the river to the east to drink tea and smoke.
"Brother, I have reached an agreement with Shui Ziliu."
"Um."
"When Luo Shibin kicked him out, he still remembered it, and he said he was a good brother." Zhou Bingkun snorted: "That means he is a decent person, otherwise let him beg for food with Luo Shibin."
"It depends on your mood." Wang Yan blew out the smoke and looked at the sparkling Yin Tonghe: "Since he is begging for food, he must act like he is begging for food. When you are done, don't forget to discount his legs. , get him a car and let him paddle around."
"Brother, you have to be ruthless enough, but I think it's good, so I'll do it. I also need to give him a sound system so that he can perform his talents like those people. Hahaha..."
Zhou Bingkun smiled wildly, like a villain...
The water flowed around in a circle, and he went straight to the Luoshui Group headquarters without taking a break. In the past, I thought he and Luo Shibin had some achievements together, but after seeing the magnificent Kunzheng Building in Jichun, when I came back and looked at the small six-story building in front of me, I felt an inexplicable feeling that it was just like this, no matter what I did. A sense of futility.
Sighing secretly, he stepped into the building, greeting people all the way, and went to the door of the chairman's office on the third floor. Dongdongdong knocked on the door, and after receiving a positive response, he pushed the door open and went in.
Luo Shibin, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up at the good brother who came in, and stood up with a sigh: "How are you, Brother Shui? What did Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun say? Have you seen Zheng Juan? What does she mean? You said it's the same for you. There's been no news for several days. You might as well give me a call in Jichun. I'm in a hurry. Oh, Brother Shui, sit down quickly, come here, drink water."
After taking a sip of water and looking at Luo Shibin's anxious look, Shui Ziliu thought about it, shook his head and sighed: "Binzi, give up, don't think about the child."
"What did they say?"
"Zhou Bingkun said that if you dare to find Jianhua secretly, he will kill us. It's not like you don't know, Wang Yan, how can he be so easy to talk to? He sent me away after we met for a cigarette without breaking my other leg. , it’s all because of people’s mercy.” Shui Ziliu said: “We have ignored this matter for a long time. Binzi, Wang Yan asked me back then, if you want the child, I will give it to you. You don’t want it. Yes, now You can't have children, but that's not our reason.
It would be easier to say that Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun were nothing. But the problem now is that people can crush us to death with just a few fingers. Besides, no matter whether you can recognize Jianhua or not, he is still your child. This is an indisputable fact, so what’s the point of knowing it or not? Moreover, Zhou Bingkun is richer and more powerful than us, not to mention Wang Yan. You also know that Jianhua cannot go abroad. What level is he at? We both have small arms and legs, can we compete with others?
Binzi, if you think about it from another perspective, how wonderful would it be if someone else raised your son and you were the first heir to such a big estate? Yes or no? "
This is true, but it is also a method of spiritual victory. For a man who wants a son, this is undoubtedly painful.
Luo Shibin sat on the sofa, frowning, looking at his good brother expectantly: "Is there no room at all?"
Shui Ziliu shook his head helplessly: "Binzi, I'm already very polite. If I compare myself with my feelings, if you were in Bingkun's position, we would have died eight times at least."
Luo Shibin lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and was silent for a long time.
As he said to Zheng Juan in the original play, he believed that working hard for several years and losing the ability to have children was already punishment. Now, he thinks simply. His sins have been atoned for, and he just wants his children to know that he has a biological father. What's wrong with him?
This is a common disease that most people have. They have high demands on others and low standards on themselves. The countless cries of persecutors who have become victims have explained this truth, and they are still explaining it all the time, and will continue to do so in the future.
After a long while, Luo Shibin let out a long sigh and said to Shui Ziliu with a little red eyes: "Brother Shui, you have worked hard all the way. Go back and rest first. I will treat you to a drink in the evening."
Shui Ziliu didn't say much, just patted his shoulder, stood up and left...
In October, Luoshui Group was listed on the market, and everyone was happy when the market opened high.
Zhou Bingkun's men actively contacted other shareholders and planned to kick Luo Shibin out first.
Luo Shibin holds less than 40% of the shares. The remaining shares are jointly controlled by Shui Ziliu, Luo Shibin's daughter-in-law Zeng Shan, Zhou Bingkun's agent, and some outstanding employees. More than 30% of the shares, and then 25% of the outstanding shares.
With Zhou Bingkun's abundant funds, it is really easy to deal with those people.
Therefore, of course, Luo Shibin was not very happy to meet again after many years, or it could be said that he wanted to die.
It was already the end of January 1994, and it was at the shareholders' meeting of the year before.
Luo Shibin, as a newly rising chairman of a listed company with great success recently, did not go there early and wait for others. Instead, he pressed on the time and set off from home to the newly relocated headquarters in the building.
When he opened the door and entered the large conference room with high spirits, the shareholders inside had already arrived. At the same time, the smell of second-hand smoke filled the air. He couldn't help but frown, because he didn't smoke. During the meeting, Most people don't smoke either. Although it has never been explicitly stipulated, these people all know that this is his rule.
What surprised him even more was that he actually saw his wife, Zeng Shan, here. At this moment, she was fixing her nails with her head down, not looking at him. He saw Shui Ziliu sitting next to the deputy, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on the main seat in the middle, which was his place. At this moment, someone was sitting there, looking at him with a smile.
"long time no see."
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. I'm more energetic than before." Luo Shibin suppressed the bad feeling in his heart and kept a calm expression on his face. He put his hands behind his back and smiled the same way: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and you, a busy man, suddenly show up. In my company, it’s really surprising, I wonder which song this is singing today?”
"There's no need to pretend to be serious with me." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile: "Everyone is here just now. Come on, Lawyer Zhang, read the document to him and convey the attitude of everyone present."
Sitting next to him was a capable middle-aged man. He pushed up his glasses and stood up. He greeted Luo Shibin very politely, then picked up the document in his hand and read out: "Luoshui Group Shares... Mr. Luo, to put it simply, from now on From now on, the largest shareholder of Luoshui Group is my client, Mr. Zhou Bingkun. At the same time, the directors of the board of directors exercise their rights, with Mr. Zhou Bingkun as the chairman, and Mr. Zhai Jinghong as the general manager of Luoshui Group, responsible for the company's operations. , responsible for each director and reporting to the board of directors.”
Zhou Bingkun followed: "In other words, there is no place for you here, Chairman Luo."
This was bad news. Luo Shibin could no longer maintain his grace. He turned to look at the other people present, some of whom he had promoted, some of his good brothers, and some of his pillowcases.
Not to mention others, just counting his wife and Shui Ziliu's shares, he has more than forty shares. Counting the subordinates he promoted and rewarded shares, it can reach fifty-one. He thought about being betrayed by others, but he didn't think about being betrayed by everyone. This is fatal.
He suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart and frowned at Zhou Bingkun: "What is the relationship between Shengjie Group and you?"
"That'smine."
"Have you long been interested in targeting us?"
"Obviously." Zhou Bingkun still smiled like that, full of ridicule: "But I want to correct one thing, I am not targeting you, but you."
"What happened back then is in the past, Zhou Bingkun, why do you still think about it so much? You could have pinched me to death at any time, so why did you bother so much?" Luo Shibin is still sensible. He doesn't dare to say it in detail in public. That is really asking for death. .
"It doesn't mean anything else. I just want you to feel the feeling of falling from a high platform. I think it must feel good, what do you think?"
"It's very good." Luo Shibin gritted his molar teeth, not wanting to see his frustrated look, and said, "Don't forget, I still hold 38% of the shares of Luoshui Group."
"I'm waiting to see how you operate." Zhou Bingkun spread his hands: "Now, we are going to hold a shareholders' meeting. You are also a shareholder. Are you interested in listening?"
The shares were in Luo Shibin's name. As long as Luo Shibin didn't sign the transfer or died, there was no way to get it. But what does that matter? His stock is restricted for sale. Who will take over in this situation? Even if he insists on not signing, it doesn't matter. Luoshui Group can completely delist and go bankrupt. It doesn't matter, just play with him.
Luo Shibin took a deep breath, glanced at Zhou Bingkun hatefully, turned around and left. He needed to slow down, everything happened too fast, and although he appeared to be strong, in fact he hadn't reacted yet.
Seeing his big enemy leaving, Zhou Bingkun smiled, then sat upright and looked at everyone present: "Okay, let me talk about Luoshui Group's future plans."
…
In the afternoon, Shui Ziliu followed Zeng Shan back to Luo Shibin's home. They both knew that Luo Shibin would definitely be at home at this time, otherwise where else could he go?
The house that used to be tidy was now full of mess, and Luo Shibin's anger could be felt at a glance. When I entered the living room, I saw Luo Shibin drunkenly blowing on the bottle of foreign wine on the carpet.
The water flowed away from the broken glass under Qika's feet and he sighed: "Binzi, why bother?"
Luo Shibin slowly raised his head, his eyes full of confusion: "Why? A brother, a wife, and those white-eyed wolves that I picked up with one hand, what are you doing? I don't care about her, I know that she is always here for money. , but he served me very well, so I won’t say anything. Those white-eyed wolves didn’t even mention it, they are of no use. Brother Shui, what about you? Why are you? We have been brothers for almost thirty years..."
"Not since the day you kicked me out of the company!"
"I did it for the development of the company. I want the company to do better. You started production without even a contract. What did I do wrong?"
"What happened next? You gave me a sum of money and took away half of my shares. To put it bluntly, how could you still trust me? Compared to the current stock price, the money you gave me was more like a beggar. Beggar. Binzi, you’re here now, why can’t you understand? What’s the point of talking about that? You don’t know yet, but Zhou Bingkun noticed us when we were in Yangcheng. From beginning to end, our Every move is under the eyes of others, how can you play with him? That's it, I haven't even used his brother yet."
Shui Ziliu couldn't help but shook his head. He lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke comfortably. His voice was as gentle and calm as ever: "Binzi, don't blame me, I have no choice. You also know how big Zhou Bingkun is." Nian Nai, if I don't do this, my end won't be much better than yours. In the final analysis, you did what happened back then, and now you have to admit it when people are rehabilitating old scores.
If we were still like we were back then, I would be a lonely person with no worries, and I might actually share the same hardships with you. But Binzi, I can’t go back, I can’t even go back...
You should understand this. Wherever everything has passed? Where have all the sins been atoned for? How can it be possible... Binzi, just take care of yourself..."
He sighed, took one last look at the lonely Luo Shibin, turned around without hesitation, and limped away.
He came just to say goodbye to the past and to have an account with old friends and good brothers.
Just like he said, I can't go back, I can't even go back...
