The Meng family can also be regarded as Confucian businessmen. The children in the family often regard themselves as scholars. "Be respectful, thrifty, diligent, humble, courteous, righteous, benevolent, and generous." These ten words have always been the family motto of the Meng family.

However, principles have always been simple to the eye but difficult to understand. Some people may not be able to understand them even if they study for a lifetime. Some people are born to practice the principles of saints even if they are illiterate.

The truth is the same as love. No matter how much you talk, you have to look at the actual actions to know whether it is true or false.

After coming to Donghai for a year, Lu Shanmin gradually understood this truth, and his awe for scholars was far less profound than before.

Because he saw with his own eyes that there were so many scholars, such as the Meng Haojun in front of him, who could tell a lot of truths, but what he did completely deviated from the truths he taught.

"A gentleman is not a gentleman." He has a grand name, but his mind is smaller than those small security guards on Minsheng West Road. In Lu Shanmin's view, the books and principles he read are just tools for him to demonstrate his superiority.

Such people no longer deserve his respect.

The same goes for so-called self-cultivation, which is just a gorgeous coat. After taking it off, the lining is the same as that of an illiterate person who cannot read or write.

Meng Haojun was so angry that his face was livid, and he finally couldn't hold it back any longer, and shouted angrily at the people in Lushan:

"A mountain villager who is illiterate is worthy of sitting with us."

Lu Shanmin laughed vulgarly, "You are wrong. My name is Lu Shanmin, a mountain villager. At least I can write my name. 'A gentleman is not a gentleman'. I doubt you can write these four words."

"Arrogant", Meng Haojun was so angry that he slammed the table. If it hadn't been for the rules of Jindi Bar not to cause trouble here, he didn't know if he would have been able to control himself and smash the cup in his hand at Lu Shanmin.

Zeng Yaqian proudly held the wine glass. Lu Shanmin had witnessed his step-by-step transformation from a ignorant mountain man to one who could now stroll around and make Meng Haojun lose all dignity.

Hao Wei frowned, very dissatisfied with Meng Haojun's reaction. As soon as Lu Shanmin sat down, Meng Haojun took the initiative to attack him, and now he is even more of a shrew with no grace.

Luo Yan lowered her head and drank her beer. She had never looked at Lu Shanmin from the bottom of her heart. Plus, she was not in a good mood today, so she didn't care about the two of them fighting each other at all.

Chen Yang was restless. The Zeng family was a major customer of Sino-Ocean Group, and the Meng family was also a major customer of Sino-Ocean Group. For the Chen family, which had a single business, he did not want to offend anyone.

Chen Yang kept pouting and winking at Deng Chao, gesturing for him to come forward to resolve the issue.

Deng Chao was born in an official family. He had been influenced by it since he was a child and was cautious in everything he did, so he never stepped forward to stop him. Seeing the two people pinching each other more and more fiercely, he coughed twice and said:

"It's fate that we all sit together. Let's not say a word to each other. We are here to have fun, not to be unhappy."

Lu Shanmin picked up his wine glass, smiled and said, "Brother Chao is right." He raised his glass to Meng Haojun and said, "Mr. Meng, the villagers in the mountains and fields don't know etiquette. They offended me just now."

Meng Haojun also took this opportunity to go down the steps and showed an elegant smile, "I heard my cousin mentioned you, so I am a little interested in you. I have the opportunity to introduce you to my cousin."

Lu Shanmin took a sip of wine and said, "I have met Meng Haoran. We are indeed brothers. You two look alike."

Meng Haojun sneered and drank the wine in one gulp.

Zeng Yaqian held the wine glass with a smile, pinched Lu Shanmin under the table, and whispered softly: "Well done."

Lu Shanmin smiled slightly and said softly: "I won't let anyone take you away." He paused and then said: "No one can do it."

Zeng Yaqian's heart surged with hot blood, and she smiled happily. It was worth paying so much for him.

He clinked his wine glasses with Lu Shanmin and said "cheers".

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Chen Yang quickly changed the subject while holding the wine glass with a smile.

"That kid Liu Kai is really not fun. He quietly ran away to the United States without saying hello. When he comes back, he must be taken care of."

Meng Haojun shook the red wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'm afraid you won't have that chance. The 'Sewing King' of Donghai is going to collapse. His father is busy transferring assets, but he can still get it back."

Chen Yang pretended to be surprised and said: "It's true or not, I heard that the United States just reduced orders, so I shouldn't just skip it."

Deng Chao continued: "I recently heard from the old man that the wind is going in the wrong direction. I'm afraid it's not as simple as cutting orders."

Hao Wei frowned, "Is it possible that Americans don't wear clothes? I think it's just a temporary trade turmoil. This kind of thing has never happened before. It will be fine after a while."

Meng Haojun looked at Lu Shanmin and raised a smile, "Brother Shanmin, do you think our chat is boring?"

Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, you worry too much. I can learn a lot by listening to your chat."

"Uh"? "Then what do you think about this matter"?

Lu Shanmin put down his wine glass and said, "I don't understand very well. I can only tell you what I think. If I'm wrong, don't laugh at me."

Hao Wei looked at Lu Shanmin in surprise, "Brother Shanmin, do you still understand economics?"

Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "I know a little bit about it."

Zeng Yaqian said with a smile on the side: "Everyone comes here to gather, just to drink and chat, it doesn't matter if we just chat."

Lu Shanmin nodded and said: "The frequent circulation and exchange of goods led to the emergence of economics. But in the final analysis, the essence of the economy is food, clothing, housing and transportation. No matter what, production is needed, and manufacturing is needed for production. The United States has concentrated on developing the service industry in recent years.

and high-tech research and development, the manufacturing industry has gradually shrunk, and it relies entirely on purchasing products produced in other countries. This is like building a castle in the air without a cornerstone.

"In addition, the United States encourages early consumption, and everyone is in debt. When this castle in the sky cannot bear the burden, the indebted people will go bankrupt. This is a very dangerous industrial structure. I think the manufacturing industry like the Liu Kai family should not

The overseas business is completely pinned on the United States, and business should be developed in countries with stable industrial and economic structures. Otherwise, even a small splash in a country with a large economy like the United States is enough to overwhelm people like Liu.

A small sampan like the Kay family business."

Except for Zeng Yaqian, everyone at the table looked at Lu Shanmin in surprise. They all probably knew that Lu Shanmin was a mountain villager. Even Meng Haojun thought that Lu Shanmin was the kind of mountain people who couldn't read a few Chinese characters.

It’s not that they thought Lu Shanmin’s words were profound. Some of them had been seen in many economics journals or newspapers. They were surprised that these words came from Lu Shanmin’s mouth.

Even Chen Yang, who was very good at hiding his expressions, showed a look of amazement. A mountain man who graduated from elementary school could not say these words no matter what.

After Meng Haojun was surprised for a moment, he said calmly: "According to what you said, our country only needs to work hard on manufacturing and leave high-tech industries and service industries to those developed countries. Don't forget, the maturity of the service industry

The level not only represents the progress of people's quality of life, but also represents the maturity of economic development."

Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Of course not. A high-rise building cannot be without a foundation, nor can it be without a high-rise building. Otherwise, how would it be called a high-rise building? I just think that the matching of the industrial chain must have continuity, otherwise it is likely to be all under the bustling scene."

There’s an undercurrent surging.”

Hao Wei nodded while listening, and was also impressed by Lu Shanmin. "I agree with Shanmin's statement that economic stability depends on a series of economic individuals, and if one link is missing, it is easy to cause economic problems."

Deng Chao also said: "Not just Liu Kai's family, many companies have had problems recently. This is a bad signal."

Lu Shanmin continued: "I have read a lot of economic journals and magazines recently. I feel that the economic model of the United States cannot fully adapt to China. Many companies have developed too fast and the debt ratio is too high. Once there is a problem in the international economy and orders decrease,

If you are unable to repay your bank loan and your capital chain is cut off, you may collapse very quickly.”

While he was talking, Lu Shanmin suddenly felt a piercing gaze directed towards him. He turned around and saw that the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake disappeared in an instant. People were everywhere in the club. After searching for a long time, he did not find that gaze.

Where does it come from.

Zeng Yaqian frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I feel someone is watching over here."

Zeng Yaqian looked back and found nothing strange, "The people who come here are not simple. Jindi Club has secretly arranged many experts to ensure safety. It is normal for some people to look this way."

Lu Shanmin nodded. For such a high-level club, the security measures must be very thorough.

"What's going on with Luo Yan? I used to like to join in the fun, but why don't you say a word today?"

Zeng Yaqian smiled proudly, "The reason why you know Ye Zixuan is because Luo Yan brought her here last time."

Seeing Zeng Yaqian smiling proudly, Lu Shanmin smiled and asked softly: "It's not your fault, is it?"

Zeng Yaqian smiled and said, "Guess"?

Lu Shanmin chuckled, "What does this have to do with her abnormal performance today?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. Just because of this, the Ye family is very unhappy. They think Luo Yan deliberately lured Ye Zixuan to come here. You also know that the Ye family doesn't like Ye Zixuan coming into contact with us rich second generations. In the eyes of the Ye family,

Come on, we rich second generation are all bad people with complicated minds and have no good intentions.”

Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, "Then my family will have objections if I learn mathematics from her."

Zeng Yaqian held back her words, "Are you an unscrupulous rich second generation?"

"The Ye family has long known that you are studying mathematics with Ye Zixuan, and they have not stopped you yet, which means they are not too opposed. The Ye family is not unreasonable, and normal friends will not object, otherwise Ye Zixuan will really become a loner.

”.

He said softly: "Get in touch with Hao Wei more, he is different from us."

Lu Shanmin guided his inner energy through the meridians of his body every day, and his perception gradually improved. During this period, he felt someone staring at him two or three times, but every time he turned his head, the person was well hidden among the dancing crowd.

.

In the general manager's office of the Jindi Club, Bai Dou Lang was smoking a cigarette and crossing his legs with an impatient look on his face.

"Chen Ran, how many times have I told you, no matter what happens, don't run to me."

Chen Ran chuckled, "Brother Lang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't I miss you?"

Bai Doulang frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Everyone with a little bit of status in the circle knows your identity. I am different. The Jindi Club is a secret base built by Sister Qing. If I reveal my identity, I will have to pay for it."

Head-to-head”.

Chen Ran lit a cigarette, smiled and said slowly, "Who said people from the Hai family can't enter the Jindi Club? Brother Lang, you are too careful. If people from the Hai family never show up at the Jindi Club, then

On the contrary, there is no three hundred taels of silver here."

Bai Dou Lang snorted coldly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chen Ran put away his smile and said seriously, "Brother Lang, you also know why Sister Qing put me as a general in the Parkway District. Donghai has developed rapidly in the past few years, and many areas have matured. Sister Qing is far-sighted.

I was placed in the Parkway District because I saw the development potential of the Parkway District early. In the past few years, I have a clear understanding of the entire Parkhui District. Of course, the above things are handled by the group. I have already taken care of the following things.

All channels were organized smoothly, and the two local snakes, Luo Xing and Chang Zan, were tamed by me."

"Everything is ready here, all I need is east wind. I am hoping for the stars and the moon, hoping that the group can enter the overall development of the Parkway District as soon as possible. But at this juncture, an uninvited guest came."
