The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Bingyi, how do you feel about today's trip?"

Zhou Bingyi said with emotion: "I have learned a lot. It is really a great experience. It is worthy of being a national key special economic zone. It is not comparable to the cities in Jiangliao Province."

Thinking of the scenes he had just seen in the dance hall, he felt both excited and nervous, with a sense of being behind the times.

Yao Lisong laughed and said, "You researchers should come here more often. This is also called studying the people's sentiments. Only by seeing more can you think more, right?"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave these two days. I'll take you around and show you my hospitality."

In the next two days, Zhou Bingyi followed Yao Lisong on a tour around Pengcheng. He indeed gained a lot of knowledge and broadened his horizons. At the same time, his mind also became much more active.

Zhou Bingyi is leaving tomorrow, so Yao Lisong specially found a secluded private room in a hotel to talk to Zhou Bingyi.

The two chatted about everything under the sun, from the Construction Corps to college, from Hao Dongmei to Dong Weihong, and from officialdom to business. They spoke freely.

At the end of the conversation, Yao Lisong suddenly changed the subject.

"Bingyi, I want to ask you about someone."

Zhou Bingyi asked: "Who do you want to find out about? Someone I know?"

"Zheng Bowen."

"Zheng Bowen, who is that?"

Zhou Bingyi thought about it carefully, then his face was full of confusion. In his memory, there was no such person.

Yao Lisong smiled and said, "You may not be familiar with the name Zheng Bowen, but I think you should be familiar with the name Zheng Guangming, right?"

"Zheng Guangming?"

Zhou Bingyi looked surprised: "I do know Zheng Guangming, because my brother's brother-in-law is called Zheng Guangming. Is the Zheng Guangming you are talking about the same as the Zheng Guangming I mentioned?"

Yao Lisong did not answer directly, but suddenly asked: "Bingyi, do you know why I mentioned Zheng Bowen and who is this Zheng Bowen?"

Zhou Bingyi didn't know what Yao Lisong was trying to say, so he could only follow his lead and ask, "Who is this Zheng Bowen?"

Yao Lisong chuckled and said, "This Zheng Bowen is not a simple person. He is from Hong Kong and is the general manager of Hong Kong Chenxing Group."

"From Hong Kong?"

"Yes, the Hong Kong Morning Star Group was established a few years ago. In just a few years, it has made a big name for itself and has become a new elite in Hong Kong's wealthy circle. Zheng Bowen, as the general manager of the Morning Star Group, is not very famous in Hong Kong, but he is a powerful tycoon."

Zhou Bingyi frowned, "Old Yao, you won't just tell me briefly, right? Could it be that this Zheng Bowen is related to my brother's brother-in-law Zheng Guangming?"

Just now, Yao Lisong first mentioned Zheng Bowen, and then mentioned Zheng Guangming. If you say there is no connection between the two, he would never believe it even if you kill him.

Yao Lisong laughed and said, "As expected of you, Bingyi. You guessed it right. There is indeed a great connection between the two. This is also one of the reasons why I invited you here this time."

Chapter 616: Shocked Zhou Bingyi, Light Returns

Yao Lisong's words made Zhou Bingyi involuntarily alert. He had witnessed Yao Lisong's extravagant life in the past few days.

Honestly, if I say I'm not envious, I'd be lying.

But he was very rational and knew that he could not enjoy such a life. Living in such an environment, he would probably become depraved in no time.

It was precisely because of Yao Lisong's huge change that he became alert when he heard Yao Lisong's words.

"Old Yao, tell me, what's going on?"

Yao Lisong coughed lightly, then said, "Bingyi, we have known each other for so many years. We are comrades-in-arms and close friends, so I will just say whatever I want to say."

"Zheng Bowen is very powerful and has strong financial resources. Our Shangneng Group happens to have business that can cooperate with Chenxing Group, but it's hard to meet Zheng Bowen, so I want to use your relationship to meet with Zheng Bowen and discuss cooperation."

Zhou Bingyi was stunned and said, "Through my connections? But I don't even know this Zheng Bowen, how can I help you?"

Yao Lisong smiled and said, "Do you know why I mentioned the name Zheng Guangming to you just now? Because according to my investigation, Zheng Bowen is not a native of Hong Kong. He is originally from Jichun City, Jiangliao Province. Zheng Bowen is not his original name. His original name is Zheng Guangming."

Zhou Bingyi was shocked: "Zheng Guangming, my brother's brother-in-law?"

"Yes."

Yao Lisong snapped his fingers and said, "Bingyi, your guess is correct. Zheng Bowen is Zheng Guangming."

"This is impossible."

Zhou Bingyi exclaimed, his face full of disbelief: "Old Yao, you are not mistaken, I know Zheng Guangming, he is Zheng Juan's younger brother, when we went to Yanjing University, he was still blind, and later my brother Zhou Bingkun found someone to cure him, but that was in the 80s. Later I heard that he was sent to school in Hong Kong by my brother, but he went to school for only a few years, he can't be the Zheng Bowen you are talking about."

"Yes, it's impossible. Zheng Guangming didn't even go to elementary school and has no education at all. How could he become a wealthy man in Hong Kong? This is absolutely impossible."

Seeing that Zhou Bingyi didn't believe him and even said so many words to defend himself, Yao Lisong did not refute him.

"Bingyi, I don't know about Zheng Bowen's past experiences, but I can tell you with certainty that Zheng Bowen is Zheng Guangming, your brother's brother-in-law."

Although he found out that Zheng Bowen was Zheng Guangming, he used his own channels, but he didn't know much about Zheng Guangming's past experiences.

Zhou Bingyi was immersed in shock and still couldn't believe it.

Although he didn't know how much assets Zheng Bowen had, Yao Lisong was the chairman of Shangneng Group and a big shot in Pengcheng. The fact that Zheng Bowen made Yao Lisong pay so much attention to him showed that Zheng Bowen's assets were really huge, at least worth over 100 million.

But Zheng Guangming, who was a blind man a few years ago, suddenly became a big boss worth over 100 million. Isn’t this too fantastic?

"Old Yao, please let me slow down, let me slow down."

Zhou Bingyi leaned back in his chair, his mind was in a mess. He did not have a deep impression of Zheng Guangming, let alone understand him. He only knew that he had always lived with his younger brother and sister-in-law, but he had never heard that he had any talent for business.

Yao Lisong laughed and said, "Bingyi, I think you shouldn't be too surprised. I have investigated Zheng Bowen. He was less than 20 years old when he went to Hong Kong, but in just two years, he established a company. In the following five years, he built Chenxing Group into a famous company in Hong Kong. So far, Chenxing Group's assets have reached more than 1 billion."

"Think about it carefully. A young man who is less than 20 years old and has never been to school, as you said, even if he is very capable and can make a few million, I would not be too shocked. After all, there are plenty of opportunities to make money in this era."

"But the problem is, Chenxing Group is a large group involved in many industries, with assets exceeding one billion, framework structure, personnel allocation, etc., how can a young person handle it? More importantly, every step of Chenxing Group's development to date seems to have been planned and prepared, which does not seem to be something that a nouveau riche who suddenly became rich can do."

Zhou Bingyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you mean that Zheng Bowen has someone behind the scenes directing him?"

Yao Lisong: "I'm afraid it's not just someone who is pointing the finger at him. I suspect that the boss behind the Chenxing Group is not him at all, but someone else. And this person, according to my guess, is most likely your brother, Zhou Bingkun."

"impossible."

Zhou Bingyi refuted without hesitation, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Old Yao, you have a fever, my brother Zhou Bingkun doesn't have that ability, he is still a doctor in the hospital, just an ordinary doctor, you told me that he is the boss of a large group with assets over 1 billion, you are joking."

Seeing Zhou Bingyi's face full of disbelief and constant rebuttal, Yao Lisong smiled without saying anything.

As Zhou Bingyi spoke, his voice became quieter. After a long while, he spoke again to confirm: "Old Yao, are you sure that Zheng Bowen is Zheng Guangming?"

"Do you think I would tell you if I couldn't confirm it?"

Zhou Bingyi smacked his lips: "But, but this is too, too ridiculous."

He really couldn't accept this reality. He knew that his younger brother was capable, but he always felt that he was not as good as himself and was just clever.

But now Yao Lisong told him that his brother actually had such ability, which made it really difficult for him to accept it for a while.

He believed that Yao Lisong would not lie to him. As for whether Chenxing Group was founded by Zheng Guangming, he thought the same as Yao Lisong.

If Zheng Bowen is really Zheng Guangming, then Zheng Guangming definitely does not have the ability to establish Chenxing Group on his own. It's not that he underestimates Zheng Guangming, but it's simply unrealistic.

"It's ridiculous. I think it's ridiculous too. When I first found out the result, I couldn't believe it. Of course, I have confirmed that Zheng Bowen is Zheng Guangming, but whether he was instructed by your brother is just my guess. I am not absolutely sure."

Although Yao Lisong has confirmed this answer, he dare not say it is absolute. But regardless of whether it was Zhou Chen's guidance or not, Zheng Bowen is Zhou Chen's brother-in-law. He feels that through Zhou Bingyi, he can definitely get in touch with Zheng Bowen.

"Well, this incident really makes me..."

Zhou Bingyi didn't know what to say. He was shocked, surprised, and disappointed...

Yao Lisong rubbed his palms and said carefully: "Bingyi, since you know about this, can you please do me a favor and tell your brother to let me meet Zheng Bowen, or talk to your brother, that's fine."

If it were in the past, Zhou Bingyi might have agreed without hesitation, but his relationship with Zhou Chen was now very strained. He felt that with Zhou Chen's temper, he would most likely not give him face, but he didn't know how to tell Yao Lisong about this.

"Old Yao, please don't think I'm being nosy. I'm just curious. Given your current status, why do you want to get to know Zheng Bowen? Even though he's a wealthy man in Hong Kong, he wouldn't be the kind of person you'd rush to get to know, right?"

Yao Lisong said, "Bingyi, you don't know this. If Chenxing Group was developing in Hong Kong, I really wouldn't have to rush to get to know them. But recently I heard rumors that Chenxing Group is preparing to enter the mainland and has already contacted the leaders of Pengcheng. It is very likely that they will build a factory in Pengcheng, or invest."

"The assets of Chenxing Group exceed 1 billion. If they invest, it will definitely not be a small amount. The interests involved are too great. If we can take care of Zheng Bowen in advance, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless."

He didn't say anything deeper, and there was nothing else to it. He just wanted to make some money. Hong Kong is much richer now than China.

Although he is the chairman of Shangneng Group, Shangneng Group is a state-owned enterprise. He can only get dividends, and what he gets is not as much as he imagined.

If he wants to make money, he just needs to think of other ways. Chenxing Group is so big that it has reached such a scale in just a few years. It may be even more prosperous in the future. If he can catch up, it will definitely be profitable, and it will not be a small amount.

"Bingyi, you know me well. If I hadn't really run out of options, I wouldn't have come to you for help. Can you help me think of a way to contact your brother?"

Zhou Bingyi laughed dryly and said helplessly: "Old Yao, it's not that I don't want to help you. Let me tell you the truth. I have a conflict with my brother. We haven't seen each other or spoken to each other for more than three years. If you ask me to go talk to him, it will definitely not work."

Yao Lisong was surprised: "You two are brothers. What kind of conflicts between brothers can make you not see each other or talk for more than three years?"

"There are a lot of things involved here. I'm sorry, Lao Yao, I'm afraid I really can't help you with this."

Of course Zhou Bingyi would not tell anyone about the incident and just kept apologizing.

Yao Lisong saw that Zhou Bingyi didn't seem to be shirking his responsibility, but he was still hesitant. "Bingyi, this is a matter related to my future development. Is there really nothing we can do?"

Zhou Bingyi's face was full of apologies: "I really can't help it. What kind of relationship do we have? If there is a way, I will help you, right?"

Ever since he learned that Zhou Chen might have control over a capital giant like Chenxing Group, Zhou Bingyi has been feeling uncomfortable, but even so, he doesn't want to take the initiative to find Zhou Chen again, let alone ask Zhou Chen to do something for him.

Before his father-in-law left, he hoped that he and Zhou Chen would restore their previous relationship, but he did not do so because he did not think that Zhou Chen could really help him in any way, and he would not take the initiative to bow to Zhou Chen.

"Well, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll try to find a way to contact Zheng Bowen myself."

Yao Lisong did not force Zhou Bingyi. He was optimistic about Zhou Bingyi's future development and there was no need to create a rift between them because of this matter.

As for the fact that Zhou Bingyi didn't help him find Zhou Chen, he was not ready to give up, but was ready to look for him himself.

For people who do business, face is sometimes very important, but sometimes it is not very important. If you want to make money, you have to be willing to lose your face.

Yanjing, Zhou family.

The Zhou family was particularly lively today because Zheng Guangming came back with his girlfriend. Zheng Juan was busy greeting them, and Zheng Guangming was also having fun playing with the three children who had returned home from school.

Zheng Guangming was coming to Yanjing today. Zhou Chen had received the notice a long time ago, and it was actually he who asked Zheng Guangming to come back.

On the one hand, Zheng Juan was always thinking about it, and on the other hand, he also had something to tell Zheng Guangming because he found that Chenxing Group had some problems recently.

So Zhou Chen did not work overtime today and came home from get off work early.

I took out the key, but before I opened the door, I heard bursts of noise coming from the house.

As he walked into the house, Zhou Chen saw Zheng Guangming and his three children running around.

As soon as Zheng Guangming saw Zhou Chen coming back, he immediately stopped playing, stood up straight, and called out nervously, "Brother Bingkun."

"Well, just come back."

Zhou Chen walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief.

I don’t know if it’s because of malnutrition since childhood, but even though Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan gave Zheng Guangming supplements later, Zheng Guangming was still thin.

He was only about 1.7 meters tall and weighed probably only about 110 to 120 kilograms in total. He was very thin.

But Zheng Guangming is in much better spirits than when he was a child, and he is very particular about his dress and appearance. It seems that he has learned a lot during his years in Hong Kong.

Zheng Guangming smiled shyly and waved towards the living room: "Xiao Yun, come here and meet your brother-in-law."

Zhou Chen looked over and saw a tall woman wearing high heels standing up from the sofa and walking slowly towards him.

Zheng Guangming introduced Zhou Chen enthusiastically: "Brother Bingkun, this is my girlfriend, He Yun. You can just call her Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun, call me brother-in-law."

This woman named Xiaoyun had a proud look on her face. After hearing her boyfriend's words, she reluctantly called out to Zhou Chen, "Brother-in-law."

Zhou Chen nodded expressionlessly, then asked Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, is dinner ready?"

Zheng Juan quickly replied: "Everything is ready. They are all Guangming's favorite dishes. We are just waiting for you to come back."

"Then let's get ready to eat. I'll go wash my hands first."

Seeing Zhou Chen walk into the bathroom, Zheng Juan and Li Suhua went to the kitchen to prepare, and Zheng Guangming took his girlfriend Xiaoyun to the balcony.

He complained to Xiaoyun in dissatisfaction: "What did I tell you before I came here? I told you to be more respectful. Look at the way you were just now."

Xiaoyun said indifferently: "What's wrong with me? Didn't I listen to you?"

Zheng Guangming looked unhappy, pointing at Xiaoyun and snorting, "You, I'll tell you when I get back. You should talk less when we eat later."

"I know, I know." He Yun looked impatient.

Her accent is strange, which is normal because she is not from mainland China, but from Hong Kong.

Zheng Guangming was a little nervous at this time, because he had been the official helmsman of Chenxing Group for several years and he had some ability to read people's words and expressions.

He saw that the dissatisfaction Zhou Chen had just expressed was not directed at him, but at his girlfriend He Yun.

During dinner, Zheng Juan was very enthusiastic towards Zheng Guangming and He Yun, especially towards Guangming, for whom she served tea and water in a meticulous manner.
