Chapter 107 Storytelling

After dinner in the evening, Li Le sat listlessly in the living room watching TV with Li Mingdong, without saying a word, as if he had lost his mind.

"What's the matter, Lele? I think you didn't eat much today, and you're listless. Did something happen to you?"

Li Mingdong asked Li Le with a kind smile on his face.

"Ok?"

After Li Le heard his father's question, he didn't even move. He continued to watch the TV, and just responded with a sentence: "It's okay, it's about the client, it's nothing serious, I'm just a little annoyed!"

After all, Li Mingdong is a teacher. Teaching and educating people is his job. He still has a way of doing ideological work. It's just that sometimes he can educate others, but when it comes to his own children, he sometimes has more time to spare. Insufficient strength.

With a calm smile, Li Mingdong also turned his head to the TV, and then said slowly and calmly: "Let me tell you a secret. In fact, there is something that I didn't tell your mother. No one knows about it. Ah, you know, when I was young and just out of school, I was high-spirited and ready to make a big splash in the society.

At that time, I was about the same age as you. Then, after I left the school, I was very angry. I wanted to do something big with my classmates. I didn’t even think about taking the civil service career test. Then, I went south with a few classmates. Yes, our slogan is that if we don’t make a name for ourselves, we will never go back to our hometown, we want to return to our hometown! "

"Okay, Dad, I didn't expect you were like this at that time? Are you very forward-thinking? I just said you should go out and try your luck. If you work as a teacher at home, you shouldn't have a better future than if you go out and try your luck!"

Hearing Li Mingdong talk about interesting things about him when he was young, Li Le became more or less interested. He turned around and commented with a smile.

"Yeah, I think so too. It seems to be the same as you going out to do business by yourself now? Didn't I, your mother and your sister persuade you?"

Li Mingdong smiled, and then continued to speak slowly: "You know what? At that time, each of us asked our family for some money, and then, with the money we earned from work-study programs when we were in college, we pooled together 2000 yuan by ourselves. The money was set off, and 2000 yuan was not a small amount at that time, but in 90, it was really a lot of money!"

"Wow, you are so hot, old man, why didn't you mention it before? What happened afterwards? Did you cause a bloody storm in the Jianghu?"

As soon as Li Le heard this, he became energetic, and then asked Li Mingdong as if he was very interested: "Dad, I think if you got up at that time, our family would not be living in Dingzhou now. He might have left Dingzhou, Handong, Jianghai or Wangjing a long time ago!"

Having said this, Li Le couldn't help but think about it for a moment: "Actually, Xiangjiang is not bad, but the land there is very expensive and the houses are too expensive. Most people can't afford it!"

"Hehe, what you said was what we were thinking at the time. There were three of us at the time. When we went there, we were full of ambitions. Moreover, we contacted a classmate at the time and said that there were business opportunities there. Let us develop together and describe the place there. Don't mention how good it is, it's like if we didn't go back then, we would have missed [-] million yuan!"

"That's right. You had a lot of opportunities at that time, and there were also a lot of opportunities. Look at the big names in the industry who are rising now. Didn't they all go to sea in that era? There are only two bosses in the country, both in the [-]s. Going to the sea to start a business, what did you all do at that time? I was wondering, with the strength of the three of you, you should be able to do well!"

"Haha, yes, who says it's not? We thought so too at the beginning!"

Li Mingdong smiled in response: "At that time, we just wanted to work hard together and make a fortune together. This was our original intention. After all, who didn't have big dreams and ideals when they were young? Haha, young people are all the same , we also had a passionate entrepreneurial dream and a gold-mining dream at that time!"

Having said this, Li Mingdong's voice suddenly changed, and then he seemed like a person with a lot of stories, and said quietly: "It's just that sometimes, people are not as good as God, and we were young at that time, and we were young and frivolous when we were young. !"

"What's wrong dad?"

Li Le showed a surprised expression on his face, and then asked curiously: "Have you encountered any problems? Or have you encountered any difficulties? Shouldn't you be directly deceived by others?"

"Hehe, I was really told by you kid, because we were all classmates who were in contact at the time, and what that classmate said was very true and attractive, and what he said was very attractive, and, with The two classmates who went with your father, like me, are big-hearted people with little social experience, so when we got there with confidence, we found out that we were all cheated!"

When talking about the point where he was deceived, Li Mingdong's eyes suddenly emitted a strange light, as if he was telling a very legendary thing: "Guess where we are?"

"Black workshop? Black market? Is it a black factory? Could it be forcing you to sell blood and organs?"

Li Le's brain was wide open, and he immediately guessed randomly.

"Hehe, neither!"

Li Mingdong seemed to be very happy that Li Le didn't guess the answer, then he sighed deeply again, and said quietly: "There are not many people in this era, but in my era, there were so many. We have entered the pyramid scheme, do you know the pyramid scheme?"

"Oh~! MLM?"

Li Le nodded with a vague understanding: "Isn't it the kind that brainwashes people and makes people invest money in it? A while ago, didn't they come up with a 08 project? They used the guise of the country to cheat money ? You are so amazing, Dad, there is such a thing? It's really surprising!"

"Yes, there are fewer pyramid schemes now, but at that time, there were many pyramid schemes. After we went in, we immediately found that something was wrong. They forcibly searched all our money and said they would keep it for us. We went there as three people, and we were all considered smart people, so after we stayed there for a few days, we found time to gather together, conspired, and finally escaped!"

When Li Mingdong mentioned this, he couldn't help sighing: "At that time, do you know? MLM often killed people, it was very dangerous, it's not like now just for your money, at that time , Directly killing people is also common, at that time, our brothers thought it was our own life!"

"I'll go, there's still this trouble, old man, you're really amazing!"

Li Le couldn't help but sigh.

"As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. I think this is a hint from God to me, suggesting that I should live step by step and stop thinking about those inconsequential things. So, I listen to your grandpa. If you go back to Dingzhou and pass the examination honestly, won’t this be your life?”

Speaking of this, Li Mingdongfang smiled and said to Li Le: "It's normal to encounter some difficulties at work. It's all God's training for you. Just persevere. In fact, at that time, if I persisted, Go out again, maybe you can do something, just like you, no matter what you do, you will encounter difficulties and setbacks, but you must remember, you must persist, there is no obstacle you can’t overcome ?Experience is a wealth, it is like a jar of old wine, the more it is brewed, the more fragrant it is, and the aftertaste is endless. When you have experienced more, you will understand!"
