Chapter 310 Standing at the Wind’s Edge, Even Pigs Can Fly
It was the first time I saw such a round and energetic koi. Even the little girl was so shocked that she couldn't hold back the cute look on her face.
Uncle Bao was delighted when he saw it, rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Excuse me, am I lucky enough to be able to invite one back?"
The butler still had that polite smile: "You can ask the owner here."
"Yes, it should be!"
Uncle Bao's posture is very low, but he is not humble. After all, if he brings his daughter with him today, even if he is shameless, his daughter still has shame.
When facing outsiders, he is generally more restrained when his daughter is present.
Feng Yi was waiting at the door. When Uncle Bao saw him, he walked over quickly with a warm smile on his face, looking very friendly and familiar.
"Ha, Feng Yi, I'm sorry to bother you today!"
"Uncle Bao." Feng Yi also said politely.
The little girl who was a few steps behind also came over, faced Feng Yi obediently, and shouted softly: "Hello, brother."
"Hello Xiaoya."
Feng Yi remembered that her name was Feng Ya, a gentle and elegant person. Let Xiao Bing bring the snacks over.
Knowing that there might be children coming over, Xiao Bing also prepared more childlike snacks in advance.
Several people sat down in the living room.
Uncle Bao seemed particularly polite today. The greetings he made after entering the house were completely different from the previous time at the ancestral hall when he patted Feng Yi on the shoulder as an elder and had a preaching tone.
They sat down in the living room and Xiao Bing poured them a pot of tea.
Uncle Bao doesn't usually drink tea, and he doesn't know much about tea, but the pot of tea in front of him just tastes good and must be of high quality. He hadn't drunk it before.
I wasn’t here to show off, so Uncle Bao didn’t put on any airs and said calmly:
"I rarely drink tea, and I don't understand it, but I think your tea is quite delicious, and I feel comfortable drinking it."
Feng Yi smiled and said: "The tea grown by an elder is also roasted by himself."
"Oh, no wonder I always feel like I haven't drunk before!"
Uncle Bao took another sip from the teacup, tasted it carefully, and thought to himself: As expected of an orthodox member of the Feng family, the tea he drinks is different from other teas!
Putting down the tea cup, Uncle Bao looked apologetic and his eyes were particularly sincere: "I came to visit today. First, I want to thank you for the zodiac sign you gave Xiaoya. It is a very precious gift!"
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words "very precious gift".
Uncle Bao really saw the secret behind spending money according to the zodiac sign.
If it is an ordinary zodiac sign to spend money on, this new copper alloy reward coin cannot be called "precious".
Only those who truly understand the special features of spending money on the zodiac sign will understand its value.
Uncle Bao looked at Feng Yi and continued: "Secondly, I want to ask you in person if you are the creator of this kind of zodiac sign that spends money?"
Feng Yi nodded: "It's me."
A smile spread across Uncle Bao's face, and he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry for my blindness, I couldn't recognize your identity, I'm rude and rude!"
Feng Yi didn't show it on his face: "My identity?"
Uncle Bao said: "I have been wandering and working hard since I was a child, and I don't know much about it. I only heard it from some elders. There are countless branches of the Feng family, but there is only one 'orthodox'! However, because each generation of orthodoxy may not have direct bloodline relationship, so I don’t know who this generation is.”
It also explained the reason why he didn't recognize it at first. He didn't deliberately show off in front of Feng Yi before, and it also showed his respect for "orthodoxy".
Hearing what Uncle Bao said, Feng Yi was indeed a little surprised. He knew that his clan was somewhat special, but he didn't know that in the eyes of the Feng clan, there was really such a thing as "orthodoxy."
Let's just say orthodoxy is orthodox. This statement is also a cover-up.
But that was not what Feng Yi cared about most. He asked, "Uncle Bao, how did you see that the zodiac sign is so special to spend money on?"
Uncle Bao laughed: "I don't have that kind of vision, I just used a small tool."
Feng Yi was curious: "Can I take a look?"
"Of course!" Uncle Bao said immediately.
He was fully prepared for today's visit, and he took this gadget with him. Facts have proved that his consideration was correct and Feng Yi was indeed interested in this.
An object as big as a palm, like a small flashlight, was handed to Feng Yi's hand.
Just looking at the appearance, you really couldn't tell the difference, but as soon as Feng Yi got his hands on it, he felt it was special.
He took out a zodiac coin from his pocket, pointed it at the copper coin and turned on the switch according to the method Uncle Bao said.
Buzz——
The small copper coin produced a clear buzzing sound.
Even the butler next to him took a few more glances. Obviously, he did not have such an identification tool. He had other tools, but he was also a little interested in this small flashlight-like object.
Feng Yi studied it in his hand for a while and roughly understood its working principle.
This gadget is made based on the homology of energy and matter. There is an ore in it that functions like a "battery". It may be an artificial mineral that can store a little bit of energy. It's really just a small amount stored. In Feng Yi's opinion, that amount is far less than half a grain of rice.
When the switch is turned on, the instantaneous energy in this gadget is excited, which will "resonate" with the patina on the surface of the zodiac sign.
Precisely because there is too little energy material to stimulate, the copper coins with coating can only buzz but cannot shine.
Feng Yi returned it to Uncle Bao.
"Does this require a special 'battery'?" Feng Yi asked.
"Yes, the battery is not sold to the outside world. It was created by Sister Si, well, your aunt, the company that makes new materials. They made it in one laboratory."
If the power of this gadget runs out, you have to contact someone there to buy it. The battery inside is very expensive and is strictly controlled. Every time you go to buy it, you have to contact a specific person, otherwise you can't buy it.
Because each part of this gadget is very valuable, he usually cherishes it and takes it with him when he goes on a long trip.
He also secretly asked someone to study it, but he couldn't figure it out. If he wants to continue studying, he has to spend a lot of money, and he may not be able to get any results.
In the end, he had to give up.
Uncle Bao thought: This should be an "orthodox" technical secret?
Feng Yi listened to Uncle Bao telling about the time when he asked my aunt for tools and the experience of buying batteries several times.
My aunt's material company is now a large group, inherited by my cousin. Xiao Wu said that the rock patina is studied by that company and has produced many results.
Before, I only knew that my cousin's company studied rock patina. Now I heard Uncle Bao talking about it. Could it be that the company also studies copper coin patina?
I can ask my cousin when I see her in the future. Maybe I can make some improvements to the method of panning coins and meteorites?
When Feng Yi frowned and thought, Uncle Bao was also observing him.
I don't know if it was the blessing of the "orthodox" filter, but Uncle Bao always felt that Feng Yi today was more imposing than when he was in the ancestral hall, and seemed particularly unfathomable.
"Is this identification tool only in your hands, Uncle Bao? Do other clan members have it?" Feng Yi asked.
"I don't know. I haven't told other clan members, and I haven't seen other people use it. As for whether they have it privately, I don't know."
When Feng Yi and Uncle Bao were talking, the little girl sat next to him obediently, eating snacks and drinking tea quietly.
Feng Yi thought that children of this age might be bored sitting here all the time, and there were no toys suitable for children here, so he asked:
"Xiao Ya, do you want to go to the courtyard? Some flowers are blooming well, and there are koi in the landscape pond."
When it comes to koi, Uncle Bao remembered it and immediately said, "I see that the koi in your pond are particularly round. Can I take one back?" For this kind of auspicious objects raised in a Feng Shui treasure land, he always uses the word "please".
"Sure, go pick whichever one you like, there are tools there." Feng Yi said.
Uncle Bao called his little daughter: "Xiao Ya, go pick it, Dad believes in your vision!"
Feng Yi and Uncle Bao continued to chat about some things in the living room, and Xiao Bing took the little girl to the landscape pool.
Seeing it again, she was still very surprised.
"What do they eat to grow so big?" the little girl asked.
"Eat feed, I make my own feed. You can take a can back later."
Xiao Bing took the tools and continued:
"These koi have strong vitality. As long as they are not suddenly transferred to extreme environments, they can live well. In fact, the requirements for feed are not high."
After taking care of these koi for so long, Xiao Bing also knows them. He knows that they can grow like this, not because of the feed. However, some things still need to be made clear first, so that this little guest has a bottom line in mind.
"After leaving this environment, they will enter an adaptation period and slowly 'slim' down, but don't worry, there is no problem with their health."
"Can I catch them myself?" the little girl said.
"Of course. But these fish are more active and not easy to deal with." Xiao Bing said.
When Feng Yi bought them, they were very small. It was less than a year old. They were bigger than other koi of the same period, but they didn't grow much. Each one was only about ten centimeters long. They just grew horizontally, which made them look "plump".
For adults, it's not difficult to catch fish of this size.
But for children of seven or eight years old, it's a bit difficult.
The little girl was very confident at first, but she soon realized the mistake of "judging fish by appearance".
Originally, she thought they were clumsy and stupid when she saw them swimming leisurely in the pool from a distance.
But when she really started to catch them with the net, she realized how difficult it was.
I just saw one and caught it with the net. When the net was about to come out of the water, the koi jumped out of the net with a powerful leap and swam away quickly in the water.
"They are so flexible!" the little girl said in surprise.
This jump and dodge, you can't tell that they have such a body shape at all!
When she finally caught one, Uncle Bao had finished talking to Feng Yi and gave her a super VIP card, which gave her some conveniences in the hotel he invested in.
It was her first visit, and she didn't plan to stay long.
After leaving a gift, the father and daughter returned with a fat koi carp, satisfied.
It was her first visit, and she didn't expect to get close to Feng Yi. She was very satisfied with the effect now.
As for the relationship, the more you visit and contact, the deeper it will be. You can't be thick-skinned in this regard!
Sitting in the car, driving away from the house.
Looking at the house getting farther and farther away, thinking about the plants growing very well in the courtyard, and the round and energetic koi, Uncle Bao sighed:
"I should have thought of it earlier. This is a Feng Shui treasure land!"
During the abnormal climate period, this villa community next to Cuihu Lake was very famous. It was said that the Feng Shui here was good and suitable for living, and even wild animals ran here.
The big house bought by Sister Si was not passed on to her biological children, but given to Feng Yi.
Feng Yi is the grandson of the old man of the Feng family in Yangcheng. Even if he is expelled from the family, it cannot change his origin.
Old man Feng and Sister Si are in opposition!
When he first knew that Feng Yi lived here, he also wondered if Sister Si saw that Feng Yi had a bad relationship with the old man, so she gave him a house?
Now it seems that it is just a gift between "orthodox".
Uncle Bao thought of the Feng family in Yangcheng again.
Old man Feng, doesn't he know that his sister and grandson are both "orthodox"?
Not necessarily!
If he didn't know that Feng Yi was "orthodox", with the old man's temper, Feng Yi dared to confront him openly, and the old man would have taken ruthless action long ago. Now he is just doing something secretly, it must be because of fear!
Thinking about it this way, it can be determined that the old man knows very well who is the "orthodox" of the Feng family in this generation!
It is also because of this that Uncle Bao finds it difficult to understand the old man's thoughts.
What is he thinking?
Is it because he resents that the "orthodoxy" is not in him, so he is against everything?
Thinking about the old man's personality and current style of doing things, it is really possible.
But is it worth it?
A sister, a grandson, if he can keep one, the development of the old man's family will not be limited to Yangcheng!
But speaking of it...
Uncle Bao knows how powerful Sister Si is. But on Feng Yi's side, many people know that Feng Yi is rich, but they don't know where his funds come from.
How much capital is hidden behind Feng Yi?
No matter what, it must be good.
It seems that Cuihu is really a Feng Shui treasure land, so two generations of "orthodox" live here.
Seeing his daughter looking out the window, as if thinking about something, Uncle Bao asked: "What do you think?"
The little girl's eyes were still on Cuihu not far away, and said: "I think of two poems."
"What poems?"
"Mountains are not high, but they are famous if there are immortals. Water is not deep, but it is magical if there are dragons."
Uncle Bao was stunned after hearing this, and wanted to say something, but felt that it seemed okay.
He didn't know whether there were really ancestors appearing in the world, or whether there were some unknown mysterious powers. But the Feng family orthodoxy must have their extraordinary features!
Is it really because of the good Feng Shui here that they live here?
Is there a possibility: because they live here, so the Feng Shui here is good?
——
Uncle Bao went to visit Feng Yi because he found the "orthodoxy".
On the other side, the global headquarters of the ancestral factory.
A taxi stopped at the parking lot near this world-renowned company.
A young man dressed as solemnly as if he was applying for a job, carrying a black handbag, walked towards the long-awaited building not far away.
Feng Cheng held a pilgrimage mentality, staring at the global headquarters building of the Ancestor Factory with burning eyes.
He admitted that the ancestral worship ceremony of the Feng family in Yangcheng did give him a lot of freshness, but it was not enough to shake his faith.
Regardless of whether those strange events were the manifestation of ancestors or coincidences plus psychological hints, in his opinion, that was all, and he would not spend time and energy to delve into it.
His faith is still here!
Ah——
This is the location of the global headquarters of the Ancestor Factory!
Sure enough, even the shape of the building is so dazzling and charming!
The huge snake logo shines in the sun, and every arc is majestic and wise!
Feng Cheng took a deep breath, retracted his sight, walked to the designated entrance, showed his appointment certificate, and was then taken into the building to the company's historical and cultural wall. He came here as a tourist today.
Looking at the history and honors of the creation displayed above, Feng Cheng's admiration and longing arise spontaneously!
Especially seeing the group photos of the founders, looking at the stories of their early entrepreneurship, the difficulties and warmth, the sadness and joy, watching them overcome difficulties and overcome problems, it seems that he has also experienced it with his idols, and saw a seedling grow into a towering tree with his own eyes!
Feng Cheng's passion is surging, and his blood is boiling, as if he has drunk ten bowls of chicken soup!
I hate not being born in the same era as the big guys!
I wish I could be one of them!
Moving his eyes, Feng Cheng went to see the quotes of the founders.
Reading line by line, he saw a joke from one of the important founders of the company -
"Standing at the wind, pigs will fly."
Feng Cheng just thought that the founder was too humble.
The ancestor factory did rise during the abnormal climate period. During that period, the society was turbulent, the market was reshuffled, and many industries were sluggish, but those related to medicine and medical care took off. The ancestor factory is one of those who seized the opportunity.
At that time, many people did take advantage of the situation and became rich.
But how many people could achieve the level of the original factory?
You need luck and strength!
There is only one original factory in the world!
There are many spiritual chicken soups listed on the cultural wall, and Feng Cheng drank them all. Only this sentence "Standing at the wind, pigs will fly" was not recognized by Feng Cheng, who thought that this chicken soup was not fragrant.
At the same time, the busy CEO of the original factory, Yue Gengyang (Xiao Geng), took a break to listen to the movement of the company's cultural wall from his assistant.
Every day, many people come to the headquarters of the original factory to admire the former style of the big guys at the cultural wall and see the struggle track of the big guys.
Among the people who made an appointment to visit today, there was a man named Feng. When Mr. Yue heard about it, he asked one more question.
The assistant took a screenshot of the surveillance screen in the exhibition hall and showed it to Mr. Yue.
Yue Gengyang has a good memory and recognized the people in the photo with a little recollection.
"Oh, it's him."
Mr. Yue once went abroad to attend an exchange meeting and had contact with this young man.
This young man speaks Chinese very well, and Mr. Yue even gave him a small gift, but it was mainly because of Feng Cheng's surname.
In that country, there were very few people with the surname Feng. At that time, Mr. Yue thought that maybe it was someone from the Feng clan.
At that time, Feng Yi had just appeared, and the entire Ancestral Factory was getting ready to take off again.
At that time, Mr. Yue was in a good mood. The "wind" had come and they were about to take off! Therefore, when he met a young man who spoke Chinese well and also had the same surname as Feng, Mr. Yue was happy and gave him a small gift.
Of course, he didn't tell the real reason directly, so he made up an excuse.
Seeing Feng Cheng appear here, Mr. Yue guessed, did this young man go to Yangcheng to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony at the ancestral hall? Are they really from the Feng clan?
Of course, the only person they value is Feng Yi, and they don't care about the rest of the Feng clan.
Mr. Yue thought about the cultural wall again.
"I don't know how many people will be deceived."
The stories posted on the cultural wall about the beginning of the business are partly true, but there are also elements of deletion and artistic processing. After all, some core secrets cannot be revealed.
The most practical and easily misunderstood sentence in the entire cultural wall is:
[Standing in the wind, pigs can fly]
Including the employees of the Ancestral Factory, they may not really understand this sentence.
Different people have different opinions. Some people say that the words of the big guys refer to the general trend and opportunities. Some people say that they refer specifically to the research environment and treatment here. But no one will think about it. What the founder said, maybe Is it a literal meaning?
"Fengkou" - comes from a certain substance in the mouth of someone named Feng.
If the research fails to produce results, it must be due to lack of ability!
However, would the laboratory of the Founder Factory want people with that kind of incompetence?
Yue Gengyang, who has the temperament of a domineering boss, said coldly: "Standing in the wind, pigs can fly. If they can't fly, then it's the pig's problem!"
A little late, September 14th.
