2 Different Industry, Same Master?

Kong Xiuyao was as light as a swallow. It would have taken others 15 hours to travel 80 miles, but he only took two hours to reach the train station.

The current era was a time of social development, and the management of household registration information was not strict.

Kong Xiuyao held the ID card from ten years ago. The photo on it was already a completely different person from his current self. The ticket seller behind the window did not even look at it and directly collected money to pay for the tickets.

Kong found his seat and sat down after getting on the train amid the crush of people.

Beside him sat a white-haired old man, his yellow face shrouded in illness.

Kong Xiuyao could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him. From what he saw on the surface, this old man should be lying in the hospital and should not have the ability to move. However, his body looked alright and he could still travel far.

Beside the old man sat a cute little girl who looked to be about ten years old. She had two braids and was observing Kong Xiuyao with big watery eyes.

Kong Xiuyao grinned at the little girl seeing that she was cute. The girl shyly hid behind the old man again. After a while, she stuck out half of her face and continued to observe. She looked very likable. It seemed that these two should be grandfather and granddaughter.

"Life is still better like this." Kong Xiuyao stretched his waist and placed his hands on the back of his head in satisfaction.

There was a big-headed television hanging at the front of the carriage. For people of this era, those with a good family background would at most have a radio. Television sets were considered rare.

Therefore, when the people in the car saw that there was a television, they quickly put away their luggage and looked at the television like a sunflower looking at the sun. They were just waiting for the flight attendant to turn it on.

The train moved slowly forward after whistling. The television was turned on and the screen shook twice before an image appeared. As long as the people inside were moving, the passengers were content and not picky about the content.

An interview program was playing on the television. A host was facing an expert and seriously analyzing the development strategy of various companies.

The dignified male host threw out the question first: "I believe Teacher Liu and our audience have heard that this month, Apple CEO Jim Book launched a brand new Apple three-piece set against China."

"The CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has announced a 50% discount for the entire month."

"The founder of Netflix, Reed Hastings, is giving away a free month of video membership this month;"

"Tesla's Elon Musk has announced that the latest model, Modelz, will increase production and lower prices this month."

"These famous international companies are all giving our country such a huge discount this month. Is there a deeper meaning behind this? Are they targeting our country's potential market and preparing to seize it with a discount? Teacher Liu, please analyze this."

The expert surnamed Liu, who was called "Teacher", adjusted his glasses and dragged his voice. "Uh… I've heard something about this."

He paused for two seconds skillfully. When the host and the audience in front of the television were all focused on him, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I've also seen others mention the theory of seizing the market that the host mentioned."

"But according to my analysis, it's not that complicated. The reason why these big companies in these countries acted at the same time is all to commemorate a person!"

He paused tactically again, whetting everyone's appetite.

Such a huge discount was only targeted at the Dragon Kingdom. It was extremely unfair to the consumers of other countries. It was very easy for other countries to rebel and be boycotted by the parade.

Even though it seemed like they were only giving the Dragon Kingdom a month of preferential treatment, they were actually suppressing their profits in other countries for the next few months.

The passengers in the carriage found it hard to imagine what kind of person they were commemorating.

"Memorial at the same time. He should be a very great person!"

"They won't be commemorating Jesus, right?"

"How is that possible? They're not from the same country. Their beliefs might be different too."

"That's right. Since it's a special discount targeted at our country, it must be commemorating the immortals on our side! Is it the God of Fortune or the Jade Emperor?"

The passengers' speculations were becoming ridiculous.

Hearing this, Kong Xiuyao narrowed his eyes unhappily and thought to himself, A memorial? A living person needs a memorial? Do they think I'm dead? If I had known earlier, I would have spoken more about cultural differences.

the TV image jerked and the signal changed automatically before he could contemplate more about it.

This time, it changed from an international channel to domestic channel.

At the International Entrepreneur Summit, the wide-angle camera was filled with people. Reporters with microphones were huddled together with cameramen carrying cameras. The stars surrounded the four people on the stage, making the stage look especially spacious.

The four tycoons of the Dragon Kingdom were being interviewed by reporters from all over the world. From left to right, it was Wang Jianglin from the real estate company.

Tony Ma of the entertainment company;

Jake Ma of E-commerce;

Ren Shengfei of the tech company.

It was rare for the four business giants of the country to gather together. Even the television with extremely low resolution on the train could feel the enthusiasm of the cameras flashing at the scene. It was almost catching up to the disco frequency.

A beautiful blond reporter stood up and asked in halting Mandarin, "I'd like to ask Mr. Tony Ma if your company feels that it's a crisis about Netflix giving away a month's worth of video membership to the Dragon Kingdom for free? Will there be a way to deal with it?"

Hearing this, Ma Huateng smiled and took the microphone. He cleared his throat and said, "No, actually, if necessary, I also want to join their memorial event."

The reporters were in an uproar. The flash of the shutter made the scene white. It was almost impossible to see the four people on the stage.

Two minutes later, the reporters started calming down.

Jake Ma picked up Tony Ma's microphone and said, "Actually, the person Mr. Hashings wants to commemorate is my mentor. However, my mentor is still alive. We won't commemorate the living in our culture. We can only wait for my mentor to leave the mountain before we show him respect."

After saying that, the four of them looked at each other and smiled. When talking about their mentor, the four of them revealed familiar smiles. Even Wang Jianglin and Ren Shengfei, who did not get along well, seemed to have become much closer when talking about their mentor.

Everyone was shocked. The reporters suddenly rushed to the front of the stage like a riot. They ignored their prides, stretched out their arms and handed the microphones to the four business giants.

"According to Mr. Jake Ma, the four of you are from the same sect, right?"

"The commemorative activities of Apple and Tesla are also for your teachers. Then they are also your senior brothers?"

"May I ask what kind of god he is? Which mountain is he on now? When will he go down the mountain?"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Jake Ma's calm attitude revealed a shocking secret. All the reporters present squeezed to the front of the stage as if they wanted to stick their microphones into the mouths of the four people.

Even the security guards did not work. The International Entrepreneur Summit was in chaos!
