A Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the old residential area of Jiaotong University, but no one got out for a long time.
Passersby occasionally cast envious glances. Luxury cars worth two or three million are rare at any time, especially in this kind of rental community.
Li Zehua was still on the phone when he suddenly remembered that Yan Jianmin had called him before but he had not had the time to call back.
"I know you're busy, so I haven't urged you to come over, but the landlord can't stand it anymore and is hoping to lower the price, so don't sell it in advance."
Yan Jianmin's voice was as cheerful and relaxed as always, "Can you come over for dinner sometime and take a look at the house?
I told you in advance that Mr. Zheng was full of praise for this house, but he just didn’t have enough money, otherwise he would have bought it long ago.”
He was talking about the building next to Shanghai Bay, which is also on the core floor and has a large flat of over 560 square meters.
For ordinary people, if they are not born with it in this life, it is destined to be difficult for them to have it.
But if you look at it online in later times, when every person could own a Rolls-Royce, the asking price of 09 for this house in 8 was not really that much, just over 6 million.
Li Zehua almost fainted, "Uncle Yan, you think too highly of me. 4800 million, that's all?"
Even if venture capital comes in, his current capital chain is very tight, and Qingyun Real Estate needs money to expand its commercial real estate.
Qingyun Investment, Chimei, and Pinxixi jointly acquired shares of BYD worth 3 million yuan, excluding the money contributed by the subsidiary.
Qingyun Investment took out more than half of its 3.5 million yuan loan, leaving about million yuan.
We are still waiting to get in touch with Amap. I don’t know whether DJI in the south has been established or not. If we do, one hundred million will not be enough.
I'm just getting started with smartphone batteries. This time I'm going to eastern Guangdong and will also visit Hong Kong. I've entrusted Shanghai Liushenmen to expedite my passport application.
In the past, not to mention other things, in order to set up an Internet instant messaging software company, they had to contact Samsung and HTC. This software was easy to make, but it cost money to promote it.
People with little money dare not contact Apple. If your product is not popular, people will not care about your small things. But if it becomes popular, it will be troublesome because they cannot afford the pre-installation fee!
He doesn't have enough time to focus on it, so he can only take one step at a time and do it abroad first, build up and train the team, and be ready to move back to China when it is fully prepared.
At the beginning, you have to go with the paid promotion model. Once the user base is built up, you can move to the built-in app model in one step, and pay for pre-installed devices based on usage.
I'm too lazy to think of a name. WeChat would be a waste if not used. The payment system will be micropayment. And add a QR code patent. 500 million US dollars is probably not enough to make soup.
Buying BT coins is not expensive, but it will take at least several years to realize them once capital is involved in speculation. Right now, his main business is to make Chime Hummingbird a success.
Then we will work hard on Pinxixi. As long as the group buying is successfully carried out, the number of express parcels will be boosted, express delivery companies will be attracted, and the main business will be fed back. Then we will have a firm foothold.
It seems that for a long time to come, he can only accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.
Yan Jianmin's impression of him only stayed on the surface of his brilliance, and he was puzzled when he heard this, "Don't lie to me, I'm not asking you to borrow money.
It was broadcast on the news this morning. You really made a big announcement. Li Jiapo, the deputy minister, and the governor of Shanghai personally endorsed the project. It cost $2 million, more than a billion RMB!"
There were many sighs in the conversation!
Once upon a time, this kid was still worried about hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and in order to sell a credit card, he asked everyone he met in the business hall.
Even if someone scolds me harshly, I will always keep a smile and finish what I want to say. Being rejected is the norm.
From that time on, Yan Jianmin began to admire him. His son was abroad and he seldom saw him for several years. This hard-working child was his spiritual sustenance.
It is precisely because of this special feeling that Yan Jianmin always treats him as a junior and speaks to him naturally whenever he communicates with him.
“With so much money, it’s important to use it for career development, but you can’t treat yourself badly!
The place you live in now is at best a shelter from the wind and rain. If you don’t buy a house, what’s the point of keeping it?
Let me tell you, this house...
Did you hear that? Your uncle Zheng was very satisfied with what he saw, and even asked someone to do a special calculation for you, and it said that you will be very lucky..."
"Stop, stop, stop, Uncle Yan, you're going too far. How can you buy this house and marry a gentle and virtuous wife? Which gossipmonger made that calculation?"
It was too unreliable. Li Zehua was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I admit that I have a successful career, but are you serious about saying that this house will bring prosperity to me and I will give birth to three sons?"
Yan Jianmin's face turned red. He didn't believe what he had said, but he just took it as a joke, thinking it was a good omen. "Anyway, come and have a look when you have time.
I guarantee that you will be absolutely satisfied with the house after seeing it. This is a real home, with five bedrooms and two living rooms, 562 square meters. Having a home is a stable place, where you can get married and have children in the future..."
He kept on nagging again. Li Zehua was not surprised. He waited until he finished before replying, "Okay, okay, I'll come over tomorrow at noon."
If you don’t agree, you don’t know how long you will be scolded.
Agree to go and take a look and deal with it, but always find a suitable reason to refuse after the matter is over. 4800 million?
He can't even come up with the down payment, and the stock market cannot be moved for the time being. After this wave of growth is over, he should withdraw all his money and invest in a new business.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements tomorrow. You should arrive early and go after dinner."
Yan Jianmin got what he wanted, hung up the phone with satisfaction, and went to watch the stock market review while humming a little tune...
"Zhang Tao, don't rush back, get off the car and walk with me."
I made two phone calls in a row, both to people close to me. When you are away from home, it is inevitable that you will be reminded of the people you have met and feel deeply moved.
Zhang Tao didn't say a word the whole time. His greatest strength is not his outstanding skills, but that he never talks too much.
On the bank of the Huangpu River, he clearly saw Li Zehua and Yu Li hugging each other.
There were many secrets, and as a driver he knew some of them, but he never revealed a word.
Just like what happened just now, as a security assistant, he could have interrupted and given professional advice.
This old neighborhood is crowded with people and is not suitable for Li Zehua to continue living there. Just this conspicuous Mercedes-Benz car may attract unnecessary prying eyes.
But he never speaks up, he just does whatever his boss tells him to do.
It's not just the high salary, nor is it Zeng Haiyang's earnest warning.
Rather, it is through my long observations since he joined the company that I have developed a sense of admiration for them, whether they are ordinary front-line employees or those colleagues who have been injured for the company.
There are almost no negative reviews about the boss, almost unanimous praise.
Even if some people call him an idiot behind his back, it is because the boss is supporting the team at a loss.
I can't understand it. At such a young age, isn't it good for you to enjoy your money yourself?
This kind of scolding is also a kind of love.
No one wants the company to go bankrupt, and no one wants the boss to change his mind one day.
This sense of responsibility was the key reason why Zhang Tao was willing to risk his life for him during the battle on Fenglin Road.
"You are so taciturn. I don't know how you got married and had children."
I didn't get a response, so I walked a few steps and looked back. I saw that I was following him like a ghost, and I couldn't even hear the footsteps.
Li Zehua held his chin and stared at him for a long time. This guy didn't even blink and said unhappily, "Do you usually communicate with your wife and parents like this?"
Zhang Tao nodded, "Yeah."
There is really not a single word of nonsense.
"I don't understand. Never mind. Just walk with me."
Li Zehua shook his head and recalled the information he had asked someone to investigate. This guy transferred 90% of his monthly salary back home. He was a ruthless person.
Counting the time, I joined the army at the age of 19, served as an armored reconnaissance soldier for 8 years, worked as a forest ranger for half a year after retiring, and then worked in logistics for another half a year. I am 28 years old this year.
Both his parents are alive, he has younger brothers and sisters and two children. If nothing unexpected happens, he will live his life working diligently and like a slave.
But who can blame him for being so lucky to have such a good boss?
As a reborn person, Li Zehua cherishes his life. He still has too many wishes to fulfill. It didn’t matter before, but as soon as the Shanghai TV station broadcast it today, the Internet media reposted it crazily.
Not to mention being famous all over the country, at least in the eyes of those who care, he is a walking money printing machine!
A $2 million investment!
Based on his previous annual salary of 2200 to yuan, if we calculate based on yuan, it would take him only more than years to go from working in the Qin Dynasty and saving money without eating or drinking.
Well, it will take more than 2 years.
He likes to make plans when he has nothing to do. Today, there happens to be such an opportunity and he doesn't want to miss it.
Just ask, "Are your parents in good health?"
"it is good."
“Brothers and sisters, are you farming at home?”
"Ah."
"Your eldest child is in elementary school now. How are his grades?"
"excellent."
I forgot to mention that Zhang Tao got married early. When he joined the army, his wife was already married (they didn’t get a marriage certificate at that time). When she sent him to the car, she was pregnant. As for the second child, he conceived when he went home to visit his family. He is 6 years old this year.
"Can your wife bear the loneliness at home?"
Zhang Tao reacted this time. He glanced at him and said in a muffled voice, "Boss, if you want claws, I'll tell you."
Li Zehua smiled and gradually brought the topic into his own rhythm, "No, you've been out for so long, don't you plan to go home?"
Zhang Tao shook his head and said, "I'm not going back. I'm saving money for my brother's wedding."
His home is in a poor, mountainous and water-restricted area in western Sichuan. There are so many mountains that even four-wheeled vehicles cannot get in, let alone railways or highways.
Li Zehua commissioned someone from an investigation company to search for the correct way into the mountain, and it took them two days to find it.
Without alerting anyone, I went around his house and confirmed the accuracy of all the information before returning.
With a clear mind, Li Zehua then told his purpose, "Have you ever thought about bringing your family members out?
For example, your parents are old, medical care in the city is well-developed, and living conditions are good in all aspects. Don't rush to refuse, just listen to me.
For example, your younger brother is probably similar to you, both of you are taciturn, so it is difficult for him to find a wife.
People have high standards nowadays. You used your retirement settlement money to build a house and buy land for your family, and there is not much left. Do you want your brothers and sisters to stay in that small mountain village for the rest of their lives?"
Zhang Tao was slightly moved when he heard this, but his ability was limited and he had no conditions to stay in the team.
The job I got after returning as a forest ranger only paid 600 yuan a month, which was not enough to cover my brother's wedding expenses.
Just as he was stunned, he heard Li Zehua continue, "What's more, there is your wife, my sister-in-law. She has been with you for eight or nine years and has never enjoyed a single day of happiness. I heard that your sister-in-law is even a little lame?"
"Yeah, it's a problem I got when I was a kid."
Speaking of his wife, Zhang Tao was much gentler, "She is a good woman."
"I didn't say she was bad. Think about your son again."
Li Zehua sighed and said, "There are photos of them in the house you live in now, right? Do you have any decent clothes or shoes on them?
Your eldest son has to get up at five o'clock every morning. Can he open his eyes at this age and at this time?
Unfortunately, there is no other way. The nearest school to your village is 6 kilometers away, and you have to travel a long way to get there. With your wife's lame legs, can she handle the trip back and forth twice a day?"
Zhang Tao was stunned. Even the most determined man could not say a word.
But the boss' words never stopped, like a knife stabbing into his heart again and again.
“I have been in Shanghai for more than a month. When I was out promoting the company, I saw those tall buildings.
Do you envy those city kids who go to school with new school bags and new clothes? "
Zhang Tao felt like he was back to the night before he joined the army, when his father was smoking a pipe, his face grim and his teeth gritting in the dim light of the oil lamp.
"Sell it, there is no future if you don't join the army!"
Then there were sighs from the whole family, and he clearly saw hatred, loss, and deep despair in his brother's eyes.
The next day, the family sold another half acre of land. His father took the money from the sale of the land, walked 30 kilometers along the mountain road, and went to the county town overnight.
Then, he was selected...
"Boss, tell me who you want to kill!"
The past was still vivid in his mind. Zhang Tao could never forget those eyes under the oil lamp, so when he was in the team, he would send back home any little allowance he got.
If it weren't for the guilt, he wouldn't have chosen to leave home. Even if it was just a forest ranger job paying 600 yuan, it was still home!
He has not lost out in this life as he has two children. After thinking it through, he said without hesitation.
“You are a good person. I am not smart, but I am not stupid. I can see how you treat others.
Someone must have forced you to die. You said, I'll kill him! I just hope that I can give my child something to eat in the future."
Li Zehua was stunned. He pointed at him and opened his mouth. He didn't say a word for a long time.
Zhang Tao seemed to be saying his last words, "My parents are old, but I have younger brothers and sisters around, so I'm not afraid. My wife is still young, so get married soon and don't be a burden to her.
We only have two children, please help take care of them in the future."
"No, what on earth are you thinking about? Who are you going to kill? In today's society, there is no future in fighting and killing."
Li Zehua was almost mad to death. He couldn't help but curse, "When will your rotten wood brain come to your senses? Let me ask you, do you want to live a good life?"
Zhang Tao was stunned, "Huh?"
Why, you called him here so cautiously, aren't you going to assign him to do something?
"A waste of my expression."
Li Zehua was speechless. Today he finally saw what a fool he was. He simply said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't beat around the bush. You'd better keep your life.
What kind of person is this? I'm not even married, and you want me to help you raise your child?! I'm such a sucker! "
It would be better if he didn't have to die. Zhang Tao grinned with his teeth showing, "Hehe."
"Hey you head!"
After Li Zehua finished scolding, he became happy instead, and couldn't help but scolding with a smile, "You must have saved the Milky Way in your previous life, otherwise how could you have met a boss like me.
In a few days, accompany me to eastern Guangdong, and then to Hong Kong. When you come back, I will give you a few days off, and you can go back to western Sichuan to bring your wife and children to Shanghai."
Zhang Tao looked confused and said nothing.
Li Zehua continued, "You are lucky, the independent director of the company, Wu Liangyu, knows that he is a professor at Jiaotong University and happens to have an admission quota for the primary school affiliated to Jiaotong University.
He asked me if I wanted it a few days ago. Do you think he is sick?
I don’t even have a child, what can I do with it? After looking around, I found your child is the right one, so it’s a good deal for you.”
It would be strange if there was a gift. If a place in the affiliated primary school was just thrown away, many people would be scrambling to get it. It would be a bit troublesome for Wu Liangyu to get it.
But who asked Li Zehua to say that? No one would refuse this little favor.
He prepared it for Zhang Tao, and that’s not all, there’s more to come.
Zhang Tao opened his mouth in shock, unable to speak clearly, "Really?"
It was as if I had drunk fake alcohol, and I felt dizzy and my face turned red for a moment.
Li Zehua patted his shoulder and said, "Cherish this opportunity. The price of houses in Shanghai has increased rapidly in the past two years, but your salary is not low. Bring your sister-in-law and children here first.
The company will give you some down payment, and you can get a loan from the bank to buy the house.
For people of our generation, it’s okay to suffer a little, but we can’t let our children suffer. It’s decided. You can come back and bring your sister-in-law and children over, and I’ll treat you to dinner again.”
Zhang Tao wanted to cry again, but the company commander in the team said that men don't shed tears easily and would rather bleed than cry.
He tried hard to hold back his tears, but they still fell. He did not dare to wipe them away. He stared at Li Zehua as if he were a god who saved people from suffering.
For a moment, he even wanted to die in front of him. What a great favor! He had no ability and only had this life left.
"Live well, and remember, from today on, I also have a share in your life!"
Li Zehua has never been stingy with the people around him. If possible, he would rather Zhang Tao live in peace for the rest of his life, and it would be better not to use all the backup plans he has arranged.
Because he is safe, I am safe.
However, in this society, there are always unexpected accidents. He doesn't want to face the danger directly, so it is important to have someone around him who is willing to risk his life to protect him.
Zhang Tao is just the right person. He has elderly parents and young children to take care of. His parents are in his hometown. If he cleans up the traces a little, no one will find them.
Take my wife and children over and enroll them in school under other people’s names. With his connections, they will have a bright future.
If you give him a housing loan of several million, that's it. He will probably have no problems in his life.
"Alright, alright, you're a grown man, you're so pissed off, go back now."
The moment Li Zehua turned to leave, he turned back and said, "Remember, if I can give it to you, I can take it back."
Zhang Tao understood immediately, "Boss, rest assured, my life is yours from now on!"
"I am waiting."
After Li Zehua finished speaking, he left without hesitation.
Zhang Tao was the only one left standing there, staring at his back, unwilling to leave for a long time...
"Are you done for the day?"
The small park under the night sky was filled with people enjoying the cool air. Li Zehua had just walked a short distance when a surprised voice rang out.
Suddenly, he looked back and caught a glimpse of her. His eyes lit up. "Hey, two Shen Wanyi?" (End of this chapter)
