Chapter 1092 "I'm not going to give in!"
"hehe......"
Zhou Qinzheng looked at Lu Feng's slightly tense expression and smiled gently again.
He picked up the small copper kettle warming on the stove and began to skillfully warm the cup, wash the tea, and brew it.
The movements were smooth and flowing, with a sense of ease that returned to nature. The lingering fragrance of tea rose with the steam and filled the air.
"Young man, don't be so nervous."
Zhou Qinzheng gently pushed a cup of clear green tea in front of Lu Feng. His voice was calm, as if he was chatting casually, "Although this is the first time we officially meet, I have been following you for a long time."
When these words came out, Lu Feng's heart suddenly jumped!
Been following this for a long time? This sentence contains so much information!
He took the teacup with both hands, and his fingertips could feel the warm wall of the cup. The warmth seemed to dispel some of his tension.
Before Lu Feng could digest this, Zhou Qinzheng picked up the teacup in front of him, blew away the hot steam, and continued:
"You are Zhengguo's nephew, so you are not an outsider. In the future, when there are no outsiders around, you don't have to be so reserved. Just call me 'Uncle Zhou'."
"Uncle Zhou?!" Hearing this, Lu Feng's heart was instantly filled with huge waves!
The huge surprise and incredible feeling of honor instantly broke all the tension!
These three words represent not only a change of name, but also a great recognition and closeness!
This was more important than any previous compliment! He quickly put down his teacup and was about to stand up.
"Sit down, sit down and talk." Zhou Qinzheng raised his hand and pressed it lightly, stopping his movement, his eyes gentle, "A cup of tea, let's chat casually."
Lu Feng suppressed his excitement and sat back down, but his posture was obviously more relaxed. He looked at Zhou Qinzheng with eyes full of sincere gratitude and respect: "Yes, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Qinzheng took a sip of tea and looked at the orchids in the yard swaying gently in the breeze, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and returned to Lu Feng's face. His eyes became deep and inspiring:
"Xiao Lu, you have been very successful in the business world. In a short period of time, you have stirred up the world and established business empires like Lu and Fengyuan."
"In your opinion, what is the essence of the word 'businessman'? In other words, what kind of character and principles should a truly 'qualified' businessman, or even... an 'outstanding' businessman, possess?"
This question seems simple, but it actually goes straight to the core.
Lu Feng's heart trembled, knowing that the real "conversation" had begun.
He collected his thoughts and did not rush to answer, but thought seriously for a moment.
Because he knew that in front of someone like Uncle Zhou, any clichés or empty words were meaningless, and only true thinking from the heart could pass.
Afterwards, he gathered his thoughts and spoke slowly, his voice steady and clear:
"Uncle Zhou, in my opinion, the word 'merchant' is based on 'exchange' and 'value'. But a qualified or even outstanding businessman must not stop there."
He picked up the teacup and looked at the clear tea in it, as if gazing into his own heart:
"Business is a balance between 'profit' and 'righteousness'. It is natural for businessmen to pursue profit."
"But if one only cares about penny-pinching profits and loses morality, integrity, and even responsibility to the nation, then one is like a rootless duckweed. Even if one can gain temporary benefits, one will never achieve great things and may even bring disaster to the country and the people."
"The true business philosophy should be 'combining righteousness and profit,' earning reasonable returns by creating value and meeting needs, integrating wealth growth with the improvement of social welfare."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Qinzheng quietly, waiting for his judgment.
The aroma of tea wafts through the courtyard, with only the faint sound of charcoal fire and the occasional bird song in the distance.
Zhou Qinzheng listened quietly, without any expression changing on his face, except for a pair of deep eyes that seemed to have a glimmer of wisdom flowing and settling.
He didn't immediately comment on Lu Feng's point of view. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took another sip, as if savoring the deeper meaning behind Lu Feng's words. Beneath his calm exterior lay a deep meditation that no one could fathom.
After a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Feng with a hint of emotion:
"Now I finally understand why a proud man like Jungkook cares so much about you."
"That guy Shen Muyun will hand over his precious daughter to you!"
His voice was not very loud, but it was filled with anticipation.
"Young man, stay true to yourself. I'm eager to see how far you can go!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng's heart was filled with passion, and he nodded vigorously:
"Please rest assured, I will never let you and these elders down!"
In the following time, the two talked a lot, from business to politics, and even scientific research and invention. They talked about many topics, and after discussing these topics, Zhou Qinzheng became more and more appreciative of .
"Xiao Lu, besides chatting about some family matters, I also have a question I'd like to ask for your opinion on."
Zhou Qinzheng picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"Is it... something about the medical field?"
Lu Feng asked cautiously.
When he heard Li Zhengguo say in the morning that this person was coming to see him, he already had some guesses.
"Yes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received many requests regarding this matter recently, so I thought of informing you, the person involved, to see what you think."
"Uncle Zhou..."
"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
Zhou Qinzheng raised his hand slightly to stop Lu Feng from saying anything.
"Don't overthink it. I'm really only here to ask for your opinion. If you don't want to cease fire, then go ahead and fight. The efforts of generations of Chinese people have been to enable you youngsters to hold your heads high in the international arena!"
"If something goes wrong, we have to put our own people in a difficult position. That would be unreasonable."
"Uncle Zhou..."
Lu Feng was a little touched when he heard this. He originally thought that Zhou Qinzheng asked him to come over because he wanted him to take a step back.
I didn't expect that the great man in front of me would say such words.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Qinzheng pretended to be impatient:
"Don't be so fussy, kid. I'm a military man, and I hate indecisive people the most. Don't make me kick you out!"
"Forehead......"
The corner of Lu Feng's mouth twitched, but he immediately straightened his expression and said:
"Uncle Zhou, I'm not going to give in, but I won't let this war last too long. At most, in half a month, I can end this war without gunpowder!"
"By that time, China's medical field will be completely resounding throughout the entire Blue Planet!"
