Dong Youfu was unaware that his words had once again sparked Han Ming's wild and unfounded speculations, and they continued to discuss matters concerning the Tian family.
It turns out that after being discharged from the army and returning to their hometowns, most veterans only had one path to take: to make a living on their own. Tian Shanhe, through his own efforts, somehow managed to build a fortune. When Dong Youfu spoke of this, his eyes held both nostalgia for the past and admiration for Tian Shanhe.
Han Ming listened quietly, inwardly sighing. He imagined the hardships and opportunities of that era and was filled with curiosity about Tian Shanhe's experiences.
Dong Youfu took a sip of tea and continued, "Tian Shanhe is a quick-witted and daring fellow. He suffered a lot when he first started doing small business, but he never complained and persevered through it all."
Han Ming couldn't help but ask, "And then what happened?"
Dong Youfu smiled and said, "Later, he saw a business opportunity and bet all his wealth on it. He actually made the right bet, and his business grew bigger and bigger from then on."
Han Ming nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that success is not accidental."
Dong Youfu said with a sigh, "Yes, but after Tian Shanhe became successful, he also had a lot of troubles. None of his children gave him any peace of mind."
Han Ming asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Dong Youfu shook his head: "The eldest brother, Tian Jiahua, is arrogant and impulsive; the second brother, Tian Jiahui, is smart, but his mind is not on business; the third brother, Tian Jiaming, is idle all day long and does not do his job properly."
Han Ming frowned: "Isn't Tian Shanhe going to do anything about it?"
Dong Youfu sighed: "Manage? How can I manage? I'm too old, I can't keep up."
At this moment, Han Ming was already considering how he could learn some lessons from the Tian family's story. He thought about his own career and the direction of his future development.
Seeing Han Ming deep in thought, Dong Youfu patted him on the shoulder: "Kid, don't overthink it. Everyone's path is different."
Han Ming snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "Uncle, I know, I just find it quite inspiring."
In the days that followed, Han Ming often recalled the story of the Tian family that Dong Youfu had told him. He worked even harder and became more cautious.
On one occasion, Han Ming's company faced a crucial decision-making moment. A partner proposed a seemingly tempting but extremely risky plan. Han Ming recalled Tian Shanhe's adventurous experiences and hesitated.
"Should I take the gamble?" Han Ming asked himself.
After careful consideration, Han Ming finally decided to abandon this risky plan and choose a more conservative strategy. Although the short-term returns might not be as high, the risk was reduced.
As time went on, Han Ming's company developed steadily. He also gradually began to make a name for himself in the industry.
That day, Dong Youfu called Han Ming to his side again.
"Kid, you've been doing a great job lately," Dong Youfu said with a smile.
Han Ming humbly said, "It was all your stories, Uncle, that inspired me."
Dong Youfu waved his hand: "Don't put all the credit on me, it's because you're capable."
Just then, news arrived from the Tian family. Tian Shanhe was seriously ill, and the company was in chaos. His children were fighting fiercely over the family fortune.
Upon hearing this news, Han Ming felt a mix of emotions. He said to Dong Youfu, "Uncle, this turmoil in the Tian family will likely be a major blow to their health."
Dong Youfu nodded: "Therefore, for a family to prosper in the long term, internal unity is very important."
Han Mingshen agreed: "Uncle, I understand."
Since then, Han Ming has placed greater emphasis on the company's internal management, striving to create a united and harmonious working environment. Under his leadership, the company has seen increasingly better development and a bright future.
Seeing Han Ming sitting there deep in thought, Dong Youfu figured he must have taken his words to heart.
This child isn't stubborn and self-willed; he listens to advice and is a promising talent. My guidance wasn't in vain. Since things had been discussed sufficiently, Dong Youfu didn't want to linger any longer. He stood up, ready to leave.
Han Ming then seemed to wake from a dream and quickly got up as well, saying, "Uncle, let me see you off."
Dong Youfu waved his hand: "No need, think carefully about what I'm telling you."
Han Ming nodded, watching Dong Youfu's figure disappear into the distance, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
After Dong Youfu left, Han Ming sat back down in his chair, reflecting on the conversation. Every word Dong Youfu spoke struck him like a hammer blow, prompting him to think more deeply about his future.
For the next few days, Han Ming remained immersed in this reflection. He began to re-examine his goals and plans, discovering many problems and shortcomings that he had not previously noticed.
He realized that he could no longer move forward blindly; he needed a clearer plan and a firmer determination. So, Han Ming decided to calm down and carefully organize his thoughts.
He locked himself in his room, studying data and analyzing the market day and night, and developed a detailed development plan. During this process, he encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but whenever he wanted to give up, he would remember Dong Youfu's expectations and trust in him.
After a period of hard work, Han Ming finally completed the proposal. Full of confidence, he took the proposal to his partners to discuss it, hoping to gain their support and approval.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined. His partners raised various questions and objections to his plan, leaving Han Ming feeling very frustrated.
However, Han Ming did not back down. He listened carefully to his partners' opinions and made further modifications and improvements to the plan.
After multiple rounds of communication and negotiation, Han Ming's plan was finally approved by everyone. At that moment, he was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
He knew this was just the beginning, and many more challenges awaited him. But he was prepared to face everything with his own efforts and wisdom.
In the days that followed, Han Ming steadily advanced his plan step by step. He continuously learned and grew, overcoming one difficulty after another, and gradually achieved his goal.
When Dong Youfu learned of Han Ming's progress by chance, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He knew that he had not misjudged Han Ming, and that Han Ming would definitely achieve great things in the future.
