Chapter 329: Changing People's Hearts
In addition to the rapid development of machinery factories, other industries are also not bad.
For example, the private restaurant has been divided into two. The larger one is located in the city, with a total of three floors. It is better to call it a restaurant than a private restaurant.
Because the interior decoration is very exquisite and the ingredients provided are high-end, the consumption is very high and most people are reluctant to spend money there.
However, for those with a little assets, it is a very suitable place whether for entertaining guests or conducting business negotiations. It is even worthwhile to bring family to enjoy the food, so business has always been good.
The other part is still in the small town, but it is more low-key and only accepts reservations. If you don’t have enough status, the response you get will always be that they are fully booked.
The layout here is mainly elegant, with green bricks and tiles, rockery and flowing water, green bamboo and ancient pines. The decorations are either antiques or calligraphy and paintings. Even the tableware is from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, and some of them are less than a hundred years old.
Not to mention the ingredients and craftsmanship, the environment alone is enough to make some people who consider themselves elegant linger, because they can talk about everything here in detail.
The timber mill merged with the construction company, and is now able to take on some good projects. It has also expanded its decoration business, which not only absorbed a large number of local laborers but also made a lot of money.
The supermarket has even been opened as a chain store. If the current consumption level is not high enough, the number of stores would more than double. Currently, it has opened in nearby cities, and the development is promising.
The gold shop is still open, but it is relatively low-key. Its main focus is to be close to the people, and various small activities are held all the time.
Next, I went to a private restaurant to deepen my interpersonal relationships, went to the factory to get familiar with the management, and later attended several city meetings and even went to the province.
Yan Xu did not go out of his way to show off his uniqueness. He was humble and polite, and he knew and followed the rules. He did not look like a nouveau riche or a young man at all. He had a sense of being a hidden talent.
The first impression is very important because whether an industry can continue to develop depends on its leader, and Yan Xu's performance has dispelled some people's concerns.
The change in impression did not bring Yan Xu immediate benefits, but it paved the way for future development and avoided a lot of trouble.
During this period, Yan Xu completely integrated himself into the persona of a successful entrepreneur, but in his heart he was observing everything calmly.
The top wants development, the senior management wants achievements, the middle management wants career, and the bottom management wants to make a living. This is what Yan Xu has realized during this period.
Yan Xu is now a figure of some size, but compared to chatting and laughing with anyone, he feels that the lives of ordinary people resonate more with him, because they leave the deepest impression on him, he knows the most about them, and he is more familiar with them.
Lying on a recliner in the yard, playing with the Tianxin Ring in his hand, Yan Xu looked up at the sky, emptying his mind.
The white clouds in the sky seem motionless, but in fact they are slowly moving and changing, just like his heart, which seems unchanged, but in fact it is no longer the same as before and can never be found again.
As time goes by and experience grows, people are constantly changing. If you feel that you have not changed, it is because you have not yet encountered something that truly allows you to understand yourself.
Yan Xu no longer dwells on this issue, because he has figured out that clinging to the thoughts and ideas of his previous life is also a kind of obsession.
Indulgence is also not advisable unless he intends to switch to the path of magic.
Yan Xu was not afraid of the idea of switching to the path of magic, but thought about it seriously, because people cannot deceive themselves. Unless he thinks it through, the temptation of practicing magic will erupt sooner or later even if he suppresses it.
Yan Xu, who has the bronze door, has all the conditions to cultivate magic. As long as he is ruthless, the hundreds of millions of humans and countless lives in each world will be his best food. The rapid growth rate and the high limit of breakthrough are simply infinite temptations. This is back to Yan Xu's original purpose, transcendence.
What is transcendence? Many people think that transcendence means being invincible. One can kill anyone he wants and do whatever he wants. One ignores good and evil and cause and effect. One is so strong that even God can't do anything to him, and he is even above the long river of time and space.
It sounds great, but it is not what Yan Xu wants. He doesn't like killing, plundering, forcing people to do things, and he doesn't have the idea of being above everyone else.
Yan Xu's transcendence is more like a desire to protect himself, not to be ended by accidents and death, not to be driven by slavery and calculations. This is exactly his original motivation for pursuing strength.
After figuring it out, the Tianxin Ring in Yan Xu's hand turned into a ray of clear light, as if illuminating the spiritual light in his heart.
Yan Xu was not too excited about the transformation of his character. His changes and progress were not sudden, but came step by step.
Many experiences were just catalysts; knowing oneself and strengthening one's beliefs were the keys to transforming him from a timid middle-aged man into a person with firm beliefs and transcendence.
This spiritual transformation is not the end. As his strength and experience increase, his mind will still be contaminated with more and more impurities, giving rise to all kinds of distracting thoughts that disturb his thinking, shake his beliefs, and turn into obstacles and obsessions.
To put it in the words of ordinary people, it means that one's virtue is not worthy of the position, and one's character cannot keep up. The sudden increase in strength is a way to bring disaster.
This time, Yan Xu’s strength did not increase too quickly, but the temptation he encountered was too great.
"Practicing is too difficult, too difficult." This time Yan Xu really wanted to become a disciple and practice, but he couldn't find a suitable world.
After figuring it out, Yan Xu traveled around several worlds and simply moved the supplies around, and his assets increased a hundredfold.
This is also the reason why Yan Xu is not interested in making money, because it is too easy, so easy that all you need is hands and plug-ins.
I have no plans to return to the strange world in the short term. I originally planned to go to the Japanese world to launch the next round of attacks, but I didn’t expect that there have been changes on the main island.
Before figuring out the situation, Yan Xu planned to keep his troops in place and let the Zhuxing family focus on occupying the second island, while he came to the Ming Dynasty world.
Several immortals including Azhenpo have been in Daming for some time, but they are not in a hurry to collect incense, but are busy with the matter of transcending tribulation.
These people are all stuck on the threshold of a great catastrophe of five hundred years. In the late Qing Dynasty, they dared not to cross the catastrophe at all because the chance of being struck to death was too high.
In the early years, he was eager for quick success and collected too many incense sticks, which led to an imbalance in the ratio of spiritual energy and incense sticks in his body, and he also accumulated too much incense poison. If he went to survive the tribulation in this state, there was a more than 70% chance of being killed on the spot, and the remaining 30% of being seriously injured.
If it were the environment hundreds of years ago, some immortals would still dare to take a gamble, because there was still some spiritual energy at that time, and it would take some time to recover after being struck by lightning.
Don't even think about it now. That little bit of spiritual energy is barely enough to maintain their physical bodies, let alone recover from injuries.
In other words, even if one succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, one can only drag on in a half-dead state.
Therefore, after arriving in the Ming Dynasty world, several immortals planned to expel the accumulated incense and remove some of the poison from the incense, and then replenish it with spiritual energy. When the time is right, they will prepare to overcome the tribulation.
