rebirth against the times

"Brother Geng, maybe this Uncle Ming is not simple?" A few days later, Cao An told Bai Shuo that he had mobilized all his efforts but could not find out any information about Uncle Ming. He even went to Wei Dayuan for help, but only found this Uncle Ming.

The name in the registered information is Lan Ming, he is 52 years old and a native of Imperial City. There is no other information other than this.

Bai Shuo leaned on the chair, thought for a while, picked up the phone and called Xiao Lin, planning to visit Uncle Ming again. But he got news from Xiao Lin that Uncle Ming was going out on the second day of her birthday.

and has never come back. "There is indeed a problem." Bai Shuo was suddenly shocked. It seemed that the other party also realized that he was not Xiao Lin's colleague. Bai Shuo asked Cao An to send the information in his hand to Xiao Zhen

, asked Xiao Zhen to mobilize the strength behind him to help investigate, and asked Xiao Lin to pay attention to Uncle Ming's movements at all times. As soon as he comes back, he will tell him as soon as possible.

Bai Shuo's Blue Ocean Capital continues to gallop in China's business world, from online e-commerce to traditional industries, from technology companies to ecological agriculture, Blue Ocean Capital is like a child who is not picky about food, devouring everything he is interested in.

.Only Bai Shuo knows that the companies and industries that Blue Ocean Capital has invested in or eaten are all things that he remembers will grow rapidly in the future. No matter how much he invests now, he will probably get back several times or even ten times in the near future.

Returns of hundreds of times, only after a few years, when these investments pay off, will the world marvel at how accurate Bai Shuo's vision is. However, there are some companies that Bai Shuo can't reach, except for those who make mistakes.

In addition to Ahri, companies such as Penguin also directly rejected the investment angels sent by Bai Shuo. But Bai Shuo was not in a hurry. On the one hand, it was impossible to cover everything and would leave some regrets. On the other hand, he had enough

We need time to wait for the opportunity that will allow these companies to change.

One night, Xiao Lin suddenly called and said that Uncle Ming had come back, but he seemed to be packing his things to move. Bai Shuo immediately called Cao An, Anna, and Zhao Yong, and drove to Li Zhen's house to pick him up and go together.

Xiao Zhen's neighbor, Bai Shuo, dialed Xiao Zhen's number again and told Xiao Zhen that he had found traces of Uncle Ming. Xiao Zhen also told Bai Shuo on the phone that he was not completely sure of Uncle Ming's identity, but he should be sure that it was not him.

What kind of secret agent, spy, etc. Xiao Zhen also had a guess that Uncle Ming might be someone. After hearing this, Bai Shuo thought about it quickly in his mind. He still had some impressions of the person Xiao Zhen guessed.

"Uncle Ming, Lan Ming, is it really him?" Then Bai Shuo asked Xiao Zhen to send him the relevant information about the person he suspected through text messages.

Zhao Yong was very fast, and Bai Shuo had already arrived at his destination in the time it took for him to talk to Xiao Zhen on the phone. It seemed that Cao An was a little faster and was already waiting for Bai Shuo at the roadside. Bai Shuo got out of the car and met Cao An, and Anna walked toward Xiao Lin.

He rushed to the small building where his family lived. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Uncle Ming coming downstairs carrying a large bag of luggage.

"Hey, you are here to see my neighbor again. She seems to be at home." Uncle Ming said as he passed Bai Shuo sideways. When he was about to pass through Cao An, he saw Anna behind him with sharp eyes like a sword.

He looked at himself and blocked the way out. Knowing that there was no need to pretend anymore, Uncle Ming asked calmly: "What, are you here to see me? Is there something wrong?"

At this time, the door upstairs opened, and Xiao Lin also stood up from the room, looking at everything outside. Bai Shuo glanced at Xiao Lin, turned around and said, "Uncle Ming, since we chatted with you last time, we feel

I have benefited a lot. I came here to see Uncle Ming today because I wanted to chat again."

Uncle Ming started to quarrel: "Unfortunately, I have something to do today and I need to go out. Why don't we talk about it some other time when I come back." After saying that, he was about to leave again. This time Anna didn't block the way again. Uncle Ming didn't block the way.

Carefully passed Anna, and then walked quickly downstairs.

"Why, a setback has led to such a downturn? Where have all the high spirits, ambitions and pride gone! Nangong Ming".

Bai Shuo's casual words made Uncle Ming's eyes shrink, and a fierce light flashed, but he regained his composure in an instant. Uncle Ming turned around and stared at Bai Shuo for a long time: "It seems that you have found a lot of things.

ah?"

Xiao Lin asked in surprise: "Uncle Ming, so your name is Nangong Ming?"

"Nangong Ming? Isn't it Lan Ming?" Cao An also muttered.

Bai Shuo spoke out what he knew as if he was reciting information: "Nangong Ming, 52 years old this year, has been called a child prodigy for his talent since he was a child. At the age of 18, he completed the History Department of Imperial University, and then went to the UK to study finance.

, Law. After receiving double doctorate degrees at the age of 28, he worked for many companies in Germany and became famous among the German business elite and was known as a "business genius." At the age of 34, he resolutely gave up his career in Germany and went to the United States to work in investment banking, responsible for many projects.

You started a corporate merger and acquisition case. Because you like white clothes and act erratically, making people confused about the situation, you are known as the "white ghost" in the investment banking industry. 13 years ago, you returned to China, joined Wang Zhongtian's team, and became Wang Zhongtian

From then on, Wang Zhongtian's career was at its peak. In just 3 years, he became the number one in China's business world. You were also known as Zhuge's lifetime. After that, Wang Zhongtian swallowed mountains and rivers, marched into Southeast Asia and Europe, developed networks, and technology.

In the field of innovation. However, after 2000, with the burst of the Internet bubble, Wang Zhongtian's career also suffered a serious blow. Six years ago, Wang Zhongtian was sentenced to 20 years in prison for commercial crimes, and his business empire also collapsed.

As the number one counselor, Nangong Ming also went to the country of Russia, and there was no news after that. I heard from Xiao Lin that you moved here five years ago, so it seems that your going to the country of Russia was just a pretense."

When Bai Shuo was talking, Nangong Ming's face became increasingly ugly. When he mentioned that Wang Zhongtian was in prison, he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "The bursting of bubbles and commercial crimes are all bullshit. It's only Mrs. Wang Zhongtian's fault."

Being too weak and trying to retreat and settle down led to such disaster."

At this time, everyone on the sidelines was confused. What kind of ghost was he? He was a ghost in white, and he was Zhuge's living person. It seemed that Uncle Ming's background was really quite big.

Bai Shuo saw Nangong Ming's worried look and immediately said: "Uncle Ming, we are not bad people, and we don't pay special attention to you. We are just interested in you by chance. As for your identity, I don't know

I know, it’s just a rough guess based on some information. Please forgive me.”

Nangong Ming sighed: "That's all, whether you have a good intention or a random guess, if you have anything to do, you should come to my house and discuss it in detail."

When I came to Uncle Ming's home, it seemed very simple. It was decorated in a simple style without much decoration. There was a Chinese chandelier on the roof of the living room. There was a large tea table and a few stools in the living room, which took up almost half of the room.

room.

There are two bedrooms, the door of one is closed, and the walls of the other are filled with books. There is a desk and a chair in the middle. It is obviously a study room. Uncle Ming invited everyone to sit in front of the tea table and slowly

He made a pot of tea, and then divided it into everyone's cups. Bai Shuo picked up the tea cup and felt the elegant aroma of tea coming to his nose. He took a sip, and the tea soup tasted mellow and sweet when it entered the throat.

His mouth was filled with saliva and he had endless aftertaste. After Cao An drank a cup, he said it tasted good, and Uncle Ming immediately gave him another cup. Anna just picked up the tea cup and smelled it, but there was no water in it.

Uncle Ming refilled some tea for everyone, and then said, "You guessed it right, I am Nangong Ming." Bai Shuo didn't say anything, just picked up the tea and took another sip.

"If my guess is correct, you should be from Blue Ocean Capital, right?" Uncle Ming asked.

Bai Shuo nodded: "Yes, Blue Ocean Capital was founded by me."

"Well, I didn't expect that young people are so powerful. Haha."

"I never thought that the German business genius, the white-clothed ghost in the American investment banking industry, could be so proficient in tea ceremony, and quite have the artistic conception of a traditional layman." Bai Shuo was obviously curious about Uncle Ming's image and behavior. In his impression,

Returnees like Uncle Ming should look like intellectuals with crisp suits, well-dressed clothes, and a touch of foreign language in their conversations from time to time.

Uncle Ming smiled calmly: "I grew up in a scholarly family. I majored in literature and history in college. Later I went abroad to study finance, law, and make business investments just for fun."

Cao An was surprised: "You have achieved such great achievements just for fun."

Uncle Ming continued: "My Chinese culture has a long history, and learning Western things is just to understand more about different cultures. In comparison, my Chinese culture is more profound and difficult to understand. For example, I only read this book ten times

Years ago, I have understood it for twenty years, but now I have just begun to get a glimpse of it."

Following Uncle Ming's prompt, Bai Shuo saw a thread-bound version of the "Book of Changes" lying in the corner of the tea table. Immediately, the images of Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, and Zhuge Liang suddenly appeared in Bai Shuo's mind.

"Uncle Ming, can you tell me what happened back then?" Xiao Lin said. Obviously she was quite interested in the past of Uncle Ming, who had been her neighbor for five years. Bai Shuo also suddenly came out of his trance.

Come.

Uncle Ming thought for a while: "It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that some things still have a profound impact to this day. This is also the reason why I have been living in seclusion. It is better for you not to know than to know."

Cao An seemed to understand something and asked: "Uncle Ming, what you mean is that Wang Zhongtian was not a business failure or a commercial crime, but was targeted and persecuted by enemies, and these enemies still exist and are very powerful?"

Uncle Ming did not deny it. He was stunned for a while and said: "No, business failure is true, and commercial crimes are also true. How can a person who can make such a big business not cross the line?"

"Then Wang Zhongtian was indeed defeated by the enemy."

"Shit, how could he lose if he listened to me? I really misjudged the person." Uncle Ming seemed to get very excited whenever this matter was mentioned.

"Uncle Ming, you'd better tell us. I guarantee that after these four people leave this door today, they will pretend that what happened today never happened." Bai Shuo assured Uncle Ming, as did Cao An and Xiao Lin.

He nodded repeatedly.

Uncle Ming raised his head and smoothed his beard with his hands: "Since you are interested, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it."

Then Uncle Ming recounted what happened between him and Wang Zhongtian: the general content was almost the same as what Bai Shuo said. Thirteen years ago, Nangong Ming, who was less than 40 years old, returned to China from the United States. Among many business elites

, Uncle Ming finally chose Wang Zhongtian. At that time, Wang Zhongtian was young and promising, high-spirited, shrewd and wise. After a long conversation between Nangong Ming and Wang Zhongtian, he deeply felt that Wang Zhongtian was a rare business wizard and the hope of the future of China's business community. So,

He joined Wang Zhongtian's core team and became Wang Zhongtian's right-hand man. Under Nangong Ming's planning, Wang Zhongtian's career continued to grow, showing explosive growth. He became the richest man in China 10 years ago. But at this time, Wang Zhongtian felt that his career

When reaching a bottleneck, if you want to break through, the difficulties you will face are unimaginable. At that time, Wang Zhongtian had two choices. One was to rest on his laurels and become a rich man. The other was to break out of China and go international to continue to challenge higher.

plane. In the end, the proud Wang Zhongtian chose the path of upward breakthrough, but at this time Wang Zhongtian encountered all kinds of unimaginable challenges. With the help of Nangong Ming, Wang Zhongtian overcame one difficulty after another, and his career continued

It is booming and is known as the "hope" of China's business community. Seven years ago, Wang Zhongtian finally faced a more severe blow. For this reason, Nangong Ming worked in many ways to build a strong enough business alliance for Wang Zhongtian. Just now.

Nangong Ming contacted the Chinese business community to unite to resist the enemy, and led everyone to a stalemate with the enemy. The enemy used its trump card that had been laid out for many years, and dealt a devastating blow to an industry in China, and this industry was also

One of the core industries in Wang Zhongtian's hands. Originally, with Nangong Ming's efforts to turn the tide, Wang Zhongtian and even Hua Guo had a chance to move back to this game. But at this time, the other party sent lobbyists to persuade Wang Zhongtian to give up resistance and promised to give him money.

The benefits were sufficiently attractive. In the end, Wang Zhongtian was afraid of the enemy's power, so he privately accepted the enemy's conditions and gave up resistance.

What followed was the complete defeat of the Chinese commercial army, and the interests of many industries were divided up by foreign capital. Although Wang Zhongtian gained many benefits, he completely gave up the career he had worked so hard to build and enjoyed the benefits of money with peace of mind.

of happiness.

The good times did not last long. After the battlefield was quickly cleared, Wang Zhongtian could not escape his fate. He was imprisoned for economic crimes 6 years ago. After that battle, Nangong Ming was also persecuted by hostile forces. In order to get rid of the enemy, Nangong Ming

He contacted his friends in Russia and went to Russia to seek refuge. But then he lurked back to China and has lived in seclusion ever since.

When everyone was lamenting that a generation of heroes like Wang Zhongtian finally came to a sad end, Bai Shuo suddenly asked: "Uncle Ming, is it the food industry that you said was hit hard in China?"
