"Smack!" Li slapped the 300,000 IOU given to her by her uncle in front of Du Honggen, and Du Honggen visibly panicked.
This is a very classic clip in "Flowers", and when I watched it for the first time, I just clapped my hands and applauded, and I didn't savor their words.
I found out this time that although Lu Meilin didn't know that the 300,000 yuan was borrowed by Du Honggen from Mr. Bao, Lu Meilin had already returned the money to Du Honggen.
It stands to reason that Du Hong should have directly transferred the money to Mr. Bao and destroyed the IOU.
But in fact, Du Honggen would rather always owe Mr. Bao a favor and take the risk of being a liar, and never returned the money to Mr. Bao.
What did he do with the 300,000 deducted?
"Thousand-armed Guanyin" Manager Pan's words point to the truth.
When Du Honggen and his younger brother broke into Zhizhen Garden with a fierce attitude, Manager Pan quickly approached Li Li and briefly introduced Du Honggen's situation.
"I heard that it was Lu Meilin's old friend, who used to be engaged in transportation in Taopu, but he lost his car disco, and he just recovered. ”
Through this information, we can infer Du Honggen's past and present.
Back then, he and Lu Meilin fell in love and went to prison because of a fight.
When he came out, Lu Meilin was already married to Boss Jin, so Du Honggen started from scratch, accumulated the first pot of gold through transportation, and also recruited many subordinates.
After having money and his own power, Du Honggen found that disco was popular, so he invested a large amount of money and wanted to open a disco that made money like running water.
It's a pity that interlacing is like a mountain, even if Du Honggen has the courage to endure hardships and engage in transportation, and has the ability to lead the younger brothers, he really doesn't know anything about running a disco and keeps losing money.
However, Du Honggen is a very face-saving person, even if he vomits blood at a loss, he has to hold up the scene in front of his younger brothers.
And there are too many of his younger brothers, there must be more than 20 people outside the gate of Zhenyuan, and Du Honggen has to spend a lot of money to raise these subordinates every moonlight.
So, he quietly left the 300,000 yuan that Lu Meilin returned to him, and wanted to wait until his money could be turned over, and then return the money to Mr. Bao.
Unexpectedly, Du Honggen's business has been sluggish, and the money has never been repaid, and it was delayed until the confrontation between Lu Meilin and Li Li.
It was only at this time that Lu Meilin realized that the backer she thought was Du Honggen was a showman, and his family background may not be as much as Lu Meilin.
She thought that Du Honggen could help her frustrate Li Li's spirit, but it turned out to make her a joke on the Yellow River Road.
This is why, after Lu Meilin heard that Xiao Jiangxi broke up with her boyfriend, she felt that she was right, "If you don't need a man, it's better to divide early!"
(It's a pity that she didn't know that Xiao Jiangxi broke up because she hooked up with Boss Jin...... ）
Du Honggen's experience reminds me of a quote by Konosuke Matsushita, "If you do something beyond your ability, you will often fail." ”
If Du Honggen also puts the company's main business on transportation, maybe he will not be so financially tight that he needs to borrow 300,000 yuan from Mr. Bao.
But in essence, Du Honggen is right to step out of his comfort zone and have the courage to try new areas, so as to expand new possibilities.
It's just that his steps are too big, and he jumps into completely unfamiliar territory at once, causing himself to be completely unable to adapt.
How can we step out of our comfort zone and reduce the pain of a new field?
I've been thinking about this over and over again as I'm making my plans for the new year.
At this time, I remembered a sentence from Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao's "Self-discipline in the Comfort Zone", "Only jump out of the comfort zone a little at a time".
For example, before I started a drama review account, I wrote character drafts and interview story drafts for various platforms for more than a year, and wrote 10 million read hit articles, which is my comfort zone.
Later, when I changed from character sketches to drama review essays, I was outside my comfort zone and expanded into a new genre, and I encountered some changes and challenges, but my previous writing foundation and experience could be transferred.
Now that I've been doing an account for half a year, I can be regarded as putting my business account into my comfort zone, so in the new year, I want to try to shoot faceless oral videos based on my drama review articles to earn a wave of video traffic fees.
Although I need to learn the technique of making videos, I don't need to put too much thought into copywriting because I am used to writing drama reviews every day.
At the same time, I also want to open a new account to share my writing and life.
Although the content in this field is completely different from the drama reviews I have written before, the writing experience I have accumulated in the past two years can come in handy.
It's a slow step to expand my comfort zone a little bit, but I'm in my 30s, and it's more suitable for me to be steady and steady.
What are your plans for the new year?
If you want to try something new, but you're afraid it's too risky, try this "step out of your comfort zone" approach.
Soil into mountains, water into abyss, maybe when we work silently for a period of time and look back, only to find that we have taken a big step without pain!
What do you think about this?
