"boss!"
Xiang Huaqiang looked at Chen Dong and said, "Besides fighting and making a few movies, I don't have much talent, and I don't have a business mind. I am grateful that you think highly of me, Xiang Huaqiang, and I am willing to do my part for my country."
"Boss, I want to donate some money to the children in the mountains. I hope that in the future, they will not be like me, illiterate, but will study hard, make progress every day, and become useful talents for the country as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong did not doubt whether Xiang Huaqiang's determination was genuine.
In another timeline, Xiang Huaqiang donated money and goods to China on more than one occasion, and also called on celebrities in the entertainment industry to do charity work together.
That's undeniable; they're a hundred times better than some celebrities who only know how to make money.
Chen Dong shook his head and said with a smile, "There's no need for donations. That's the dumbest way, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. I think you can use your current skills to do something more meaningful."
Xiang Huaqiang's expression froze, somewhat bewildered.
He didn't understand what Chen Dong meant by "meaningful," nor did he understand that he lacked both education and skills. He truly didn't know if Chen Dong was trying to comfort him or...
Seemingly noticing the embarrassment in Xiang Huaqiang's expression, Chen Dong continued, "President Xiang, I know you have many questions, so let's get straight to the point. Do you know why I invested in you and your company?"
Xiang Huaqiang shook his head. He had made a guess before, but he quickly denied it.
Chen Dong is not short of money. In this era, money is God. Recruiting soldiers and building a group of followers is a piece of cake.
In the movie "Young and Dangerous", Chicken and Chan Ho-nam parted ways. Chan Ho-nam casually tossed him a Rolex and told him that if he encountered difficulties, he could pawn the watch and find it useful.
With the support of the Bamboo Union, Chicken brought back a large sum of cash and decisively stepped in when Chan Ho-nam was in crisis. The most meaningful thing he said was, "We have money now. With money, are we afraid of not being able to gather our underlings?"
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.
This statement perfectly encapsulates the development pattern of Hong Kong in recent years.
In some ways, having money really does allow you to do whatever you want.
"Don't overthink it. The investment is based on your character. Besides, the entertainment industry isn't as simple as you think."
In Xiang Huaqiang's mind, Chen Dong wanted to use the entertainment company to sway the thoughts of ordinary people; to put it more accurately, it was about controlling public opinion.
That's not wrong.
But there is one thing, and the most important thing, that Chen Dong never told Xiang Huaqiang, let alone anyone else.
"Mr. Xiang, do you know what other methods exist in modern warfare besides firepower?"
Upon hearing this...
Xiang Huaqiang was stunned again.
Chen Dong's thinking is always so jumpy, coming up with ideas on a whim. But if you connect all of Chen Dong's words, you'll find that every question he asks is full of profound meaning.
This makes him overthink things.
Now, Xiang Huaqiang himself has become a bit neurotic. He tends to overthink whatever anyone says. Xiang Tai has mocked him more than once, saying, "You're just a roughneck. When did you become so thoughtful?"
Xiang Huaqiang could only smile bitterly. He didn't want to either, and he really wanted to live a simple life, but with a boss like this, he had to think twice.
Furthermore, Chen Dong's ability to help him go from being a criminal to a legitimate citizen in a short period of time is a skill that not everyone possesses.
This is why, when Xiang Huasheng proposed to study at Chen Dong Investment Company, Xiang Huaqiang not only did not stop him, but also encouraged him to do so.
"Boss, just be blunt. You know I'm not very bright and can't think straight. All I can think of are currency wars and electronic wars."
The others nearby were also pondering this question.
Chen Dong's questions to Xiang Huaqiang were, in effect, a form of instruction to them.
"You! You!"
Chen Dong grinned, knowing full well but saying nothing.
Is Xiang Huaqiang stupid? Those who think he's stupid are already buried with three-meter-high grass on their graves.
In another timeline, Xiang Huaqiang has stood tall in the entertainment industry for decades, controlling everything behind the scenes, building everything from nothing, and making a fortune for a group of his brothers.
Can you say he's stupid?
If he were truly an idiot, how could he have survived until now and become a big shot?
"A cultural war." Chen Dong didn't keep them in suspense any longer and stated it directly.
Culture war?
The group stared wide-eyed. Ma Guoliang seemed to be deep in thought, as if he had thought of something, but he wasn't quite sure.
Chen Dong explained with a smile: "This term hasn't appeared yet, but it was actually used between countries as early as the 1980s."
"A year ago, Russia disintegrated, splitting into several countries. The Russians inherited most of the country's assets. Do you know the root cause?"
Everyone shook their heads, completely bewildered.
These are things that even some well-known tycoons probably don't know the secrets behind, let alone them.
"The most fundamental reason is cultural invasion. As you all know, both countries are superpowers in the world, and confrontation is inevitable. In addition, their political systems are completely different. This is the origin of the saying that two tigers cannot share the same mountain."
"Capitalist societies are indeed advanced in some ways, concentrating most of the resources in the hands of a few, giving the world a visual illusion that they are developed."
"This kind of belief cannot be formed in a day or two, but requires accumulation over time."
Chen Dong didn't originally intend to say these things because they involved another level, which was difficult for Xiang Huaqiang and Ma Guoliang to comprehend at their current level.
But he had no choice but to say it.
In 1994, which is next year, a wave of black culture swept across the mainland, having a profound impact on people born in the 1980s and 1990s.
