This man knows how to hype

Chapter 396 He Has an Instinct (Happy National Day)

The hospital corridors are clean and bright.

But in Hu Ningtian's eyes, it seemed extremely cold.

He walked forward hurriedly, looking around, but when he reached a ward, he instinctively paused while pushing the door handle.

Only after adjusting himself for three seconds did he step in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a sick old man with white hair lying on the hospital bed, smiling at me.

The old man laughed, but Hu Ningtian wanted to cry.

He quickly stepped to the bedside, squatted down and grabbed the bedside railing, and cried out with a hint of tears: "Grandpa, you are scaring me to death!"

When the old man heard this, he first waved to the nurses in the ward, signaling them to go out.

Then he reached out and rubbed Hu Ningtian's head, jokingly saying: "I know my body, I won't die for a while, but at most I can only live for a few years.

You have been delicate since childhood, like a girl, and now you are crying even more like a girl. How can you intimidate your opponent like this?"

This comfort made Hu Ningtian burst into tears immediately. He turned his head away, wiped his tears quickly, and then said, "I'll notify Weiwei to come over."

"Don't notify her. What's the point of her coming here? There are doctors and nurses here. I don't need her to take care of me." Mr. Hu stretched out his hand to stop him.

After stopping him, the old man propped himself up with his hands and said to Hu Ningtian, "Help me sit up."

"Grandpa, you should just lie down, okay?"

"My chest feels stuffy when I lie down." The old man shook his head. People with heart problems can easily feel short of breath when lying down.

Hu Ningtian was originally aware of this, but he was still a little panicked at this time.

As soon as the old man said this, he finally reacted and quickly took the remote control to raise the head of the bed.

After the sky rose, the old man sat down, looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Recently, I have been paying attention to someone."

"Who is it?" Hu Ningtian stood up and asked while pouring hot water for his grandfather.

"Do you know Xu Xiyu?"

Hearing this name, Hu Ningtian paused while pouring water: "I know him, what's wrong with him?"

"He and Weiwei are quite close, right? When they were in Guangzhou a few years ago, Weiwei spent more than three hours getting dressed before meeting him. It was the first time I saw her like this." The old man spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

But as soon as he said this, Hu Ningtian felt the veins on his forehead start to throb.

After bringing the water over and placing it on the small table in front of the old man, he immediately said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will keep this girl in check."

Hearing this, the old man glanced at him and did not respond to the question.

Instead, he picked up the water and blew it while saying, "If I remember correctly, you were the matchmaker for Xu Xiyu's girlfriend, Ke Xinying?"

"Grandpa, you've researched it very clearly." Hu Ningtian replied with a smile, and at the same time began to quickly think about the old man's intentions in his mind.

Not many people knew that I was the matchmaker for Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu.

And it’s been a long time.

My grandfather knew that this person must have really gotten to know Xu Xiyu in depth.

But why does grandpa want to know him so well?
Just because he is close to his sister?

While he was thinking about it, the old man put down the cup and sighed, "Ning Tian, ​​have you visited your parents' graves recently?"

"I went there last month, and I also went to my grandma and uncle's place." Hu Ningtian said this with some sadness in his tone.

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said nothing more, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

After reminiscing for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Back then, your great grandfather gave birth to seven of us brothers and sisters, and I was the only one who survived, while the others all died on the battlefield.

I was also injured, and your grandmother and I suffered a lot before we gave birth to your father and your uncle. Unfortunately, I may have used up all the luck in our family.

Your uncle fell ill at a young age and passed away without leaving any offspring. Your parents were in their prime and should have been supporting our family, but they also met with an accident..."

"Grandpa, is this really a surprise?!" Hu Ningtian became excited instantly when he talked about this.

"It was an accident." The old man glanced at him, his eyes and tone extremely calm.

Upon hearing this, Hu Ningtian clenched his teeth and breathed heavier. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing that his eyes were red, the old man rubbed his head and said, "Ning Tian, ​​grandpa can't hold on for a few more years, and my old brothers can't hold on for a few more years either."

"Grandpa, don't say that. The fortune teller said that you will live to be a hundred years old." Hu Ningtian took the old man's hand and said.

The old man just laughed and said, "Nonsense, Grandpa is a staunch materialist. Who the hell is a fortune teller? How dare he predict my life span?"

"Hahaha." Hu Ningtian laughed deliberately when he heard this. He just wanted to make his grandfather happy.

Seeing him smile, the old man said again: "You have worked hard these years, supporting the whole family by yourself."

"It's not hard, it's what I should do." Hu Ningtian shook his head.

"Should we put this aside for now? There is a truth you should understand. The most important thing in a family is people. Without people, everything else is meaningless. If your uncle and your father were still alive, our family would not be what it is today."

"Grandpa, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will get married as soon as possible." Hu Ningtian was no longer stubborn. Grandpa Hu almost died this time.

He didn't want his grandfather to pass away before he could see him get married and have children. What a regret that would be!

"You getting married is one thing, but as for Weiwei, I know you want to protect her and make her worry-free, but is that possible? There are only two of you in our family, and you exclude her. This is not the way to run a family."

"But she is still studying. The family business is handed over to her, and she can't get started in a short time. Now every second counts, and I don't have time to give her training in key positions." Hu Ningtian was a little helpless when he talked about this.

There is a huge age gap between him and Hu Ningwei. If they were like other siblings, with a difference of two or three years, it would be easy to talk to each other because everyone would grow at the same pace.

Unfortunately, they are ten years apart in age and cannot cooperate with each other at all.

Thinking of this, he was about to promise his grandfather again and arrange more career for Hu Ningwei.

But Mr. Hu frowned and said, "Do you know the reason for our success?"

"I know. You often tell me that it's because you stand with the people."

"Ningtian, you and Weiwei have already left the masses!" When Mr. Hu said this, his tone was quite serious. But Hu Ningtian really didn't understand, what was going on?
"Our family skipped generations, and your father died before he had time to plant trees. So now you can only take advantage of my shade, but I am also running out of energy.

How many people are waiting to cut a knife from me so that they can go back and add firewood to their families. Ning Tian, ​​you have to guard the foundation, you can't do more, and you are not that kind of person.

Therefore, you have to let your sister stand among the masses and plant a new tree for our family. Not only the masses in China, but also the masses in the whole world, do you understand?"

The old man lowered his voice and looked serious.

But Hu Ningtian was not a fool, so he naturally understood what the old man meant.

So, he asked in surprise: "Grandpa, do you want Weiwei to be a public figure? And she has to be internationally famous?"

"Yes." The old man nodded affirmatively.

"No, Grandpa, even if she becomes an international superstar, how much money can she make? What's more, our country can't produce international superstars." Hu Ningtian really couldn't understand.

"I heard that you are looking for someone to translate The Three-Body Problem written by Xu Xiyu recently?" Mr. Hu changed the subject.

"Um... yes." Hu Ningtian was a little confused by this topic.

"There is a line in it that really impressed me."

"You saw it, too?"

"Look, Ningtian, think more about it." The old man said to Hu Ningtian.

When Hu Ningtian heard these words from Zhang Beihai's father, he was stunned at first, and then his pupils dilated instantly.

He said to Mr. Hu in disbelief: "Grandpa, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"It's definitely not that bad, but we have to have a long-term vision. What if? If Weiwei can gain a certain international reputation and have a voice, some things will have room for maneuver, and some people will also have concerns." The old man sighed.

After saying that, without waiting for Hu Ningtian to answer, he continued: "As for Zhonghui's policy-based industries, they can make money, but what makes you irreplaceable in them?

If someone else comes, they may not do worse than you, and may even do better than you. Many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat because it is easy to eat.

However, our weak points are in the international cultural and public opinion discourse. You need to do this well on the basis of the existing ones, so that your value that is different from others can be reflected.

Only in this way, after I die, someone will be willing to protect you and our current assets. As I said before, our family has skipped generations, I am too old and you are too young. "

"Grandpa, could you please stop calling me die?" Hu Ningtian couldn't take it anymore. He felt like he was about to collapse.

"Don't act childish. I'm talking to you about serious matters. Over the years, I've discovered a problem. You don't have the ability to promote culture and public opinion. Huiwen Investment is just a financial tool in your hands."

"I..." Hu Ningtian was choked by this sudden criticism.

"But you are lucky, or rather, Weiwei is lucky, because you came across a treasure."

"Are you talking about Xu Xiyu?" Hu Ningtian asked with an expression of disbelief.

"I was not sure at first, but this time he really gave me a surprise. He took Infernal Affairs and did a lot of fancy things with it. When he was done, all the artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry were forced to help him."

"Where did you help him with the work?" Hu Ningtian asked puzzledly.

"Who signed his one hundred guitars?" Mr. Hu asked back.

"Is this a big deal?" Hu Ningtian was really puzzled. If he wanted to do this, he could. It would just be a matter of words.

"This is a remarkable ability. Just think about it, he can quickly occupy the commanding heights of public opinion in a relatively unfamiliar market without relying on power, just like the righteous cause of reviving Cantonese songs this time.

At the same time, he can also rely on this commanding position to force others to implement his ideas, which is his greatest strength. All creative talents are auxiliary, this ability is his core.

Perhaps, he himself has not realized this, because I think this is innate, an instinct, and it is difficult for people to pay attention to their instincts. "When Mr. Hu said this, he admired Xu Xiyu even more.

Hu Ningtian fell into deep thought after hearing these words.

After thinking about it, he found that it was just like his grandfather said, this kid Xu Xiyu could always accurately stand on the commanding heights of public opinion.

Thinking of this, he blinked and said, "So, Grandpa, you mean to let him help me manage Huiwen Investment?"

Hearing this, Mr. Hu patted Hu Ningtian on the head.

I hate him for not fighting for it, "A rotten tree cannot be carved. What I mean is that since Weiwei likes him, let him be my grandson-in-law. I think he is the only one who has the ability to make Weiwei famous.

He can occupy the commanding heights of public opinion in Hong Kong today, achieve the same goal in Taiwan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he can repeat the same trick in South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States.

What you need to do is to supply him with nutrients from Zhonghui so that he can plant another tree as soon as possible. If he relies on Huiwen Investment, and this connection is cut off one day, you will all die. "

"No... this... no no no... Grandpa, this... this this this this... absolutely not possible!!" Hu Ningtian was anxious. What was going on? Why did the conversation get to this point? !

"why not?"

"Weiwei doesn't like him, you can't force a match between them!"

"I like it. I absolutely like it. Who do you think Weiwei's new bodyguard and personal assistant belong to? They have analyzed it for me."

"..." These words choked Hu Ningtian.

After choking for a while, he found another excuse and said, "That won't work either. He...he, he, he's very philandering, with so many women!"

“When can you change this bad habit of yours? You stutter when you’re anxious and you can’t even pronounce Yu Yuyu’s name clearly.” The old man began to complain.

"Grandpa, don't change the subject. He really has a lot of girlfriends!" Hu Ningtian said word by word.

"I know about this. It's Lu Qinyao, Ke Xinying, and Yang Xueqing. Maybe there's also an ex-girlfriend named Lu Jiu, and someone named Li Shangling."

"Grandpa, you have investigated it very thoroughly." After hearing this, Hu Ningtian didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But he quickly changed the subject and asked, "You know he has so many girlfriends, why did he do this?"

"Think about it, even an old girl like Lu Qinyao, he treated her like a treasure after they broke up. Today he helped her start a company, and tomorrow he found someone to help her win an award. It shows that he is a very sentimental and nostalgic person.

Isn't that good? If he was the kind of Chen Shimei who would constantly abandon his old love when he succeeded, would I dare to let Weiwei contact him? "The old man said as a matter of course.

“???” Hu Ningtian was dumbfounded.

and many more.

Is this the logic?
