Chapter 178 A large number of outstanding people (1020010000) 32138
Following Cao Shuxu into the house, he said: "Sit down quickly. I have just made tea, as well as fruits and snacks. You eat first. Later, let your sister-in-law cook some vegetables, and we brothers will have a good drink.
."
Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen, and Cao Tiemin were not polite and sat down separately.
The four people were talking when a short woman wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket came in.
Although she was dressed in a rustic style, she wore light makeup on her face, and her overall temperament was different from that of most women in Caojiazhuang.
This is Cao Shuxu's wife Ding Yunan, she is an out-and-out Shencheng native.
After seeing Cao Shujie and the three of them, Ding Yunan spoke Mandarin with a Shencheng flavor and said with a smile: "Shu Xu just told me that a few close brothers want to come over to play, so they are you."
"You guys drink water first, and I'll go make some food right away. You guys have a good drink at noon."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to work too much." Cao Shujie stood up and said.
He knew that this was Cao Shuxu's wife, but he couldn't remember her name, so it was definitely right to call her sister-in-law.
"It's okay, you guys sit down first to drink water and have some snacks."
While talking, Ding Yunan went into the kitchen to cook in a floral cotton-padded jacket.
Cao Zhen also said to Cao Shuxu: "Brother Xu, please tell my sister-in-law that you don't need to cook too much. The New Year has just passed and there is so much fish and meat every day that you can't eat much, and the leftovers will be wasted."
"Okay, cook more vegetarian dishes." Cao Shuxu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Your sister-in-law's Cantonese cuisine is great."
When Cao Shujie and the others came last time, Cao Shuxu's Ding Yunan and his children were staying in another house and did not come here.
Cao Tiemin carried the teapot and poured tea for the four people. He said, "Brother Xu, tell us about your time in QQ."
QQ claims to have 400 million users, and 140 million people are active online at the same time every day. Cao Shuxu can work in such a company. In the eyes of Cao Tiemin, Cao Zhen and others, it is no longer that simple.
They think this is a god-like existence.
But Cao Shuxu said lightly: "Actually, it's just that, it's not as exaggerated as you think."
Looking at the puzzled looks of the two people, Cao Shuxu said: "For example, I am in the QQ mailbox project team. I don't have many colleagues. We are mainly responsible for product maintenance and updates. It seems mysterious to you, but to us
Come, it’s no different than going into a factory to tighten screws or move bricks on a construction site.”
"If there is any difference, my salary and income are higher." Cao Shuxu said with a modest smile.
When Cao Zhen heard what he said, he was a little curious: "Brother Xu, how much money can you make in a year?"
"It's hard to say. There must be four to five million, mainly equity, project bonuses, dividends, etc." Cao Shuxu said simply.
Hearing what he said, Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin felt yearning for him.
As soon as he heard the name, he knew what it meant. Only Cao Shujie had a calm expression on his face, which made Cao Shuxu marvel.
However, he was relieved when he heard from his family that Cao Shujie had invested more than two million yuan to contract land, plant orchards, and engage in breeding, which had made things prosperous.
From a certain perspective, the three young people opposite him should actually be people on two levels.
Cao Tiemin asked: "If you calculate it like this, Brother Xu will make a lot of money a year."
Speaking of this matter, Cao Shuxu sighed. He looked at Cao Tiemin, Cao Zhen and Cao Shujie with complicated emotions: "Brothers, to be honest with you, I am almost done."
"Once I leave, the people behind will have nothing to do with me," Cao Shuxu said.
"If I remember correctly, Brother Xu, you are only 33, why are you so pessimistic?" Cao Tiemin advised him.
Cao Shuxu did not answer this question directly. He looked at Cao Shujie and asked him: "Shujie, what do you think?"
Cao Shujie also had a complicated mood. He said: "I heard my friend say that in the IT industry, youth thrives, especially on programmers like Brother Xu."
Having said this, he paused, looked at Cao Shuxu and asked, "Brother Xu, am I right?"
"You know this business very well." Cao Shuxu smiled and did not deny it.
Cao Shujie shook his head: "When I was working in Beijing, there were several Internet companies in the industrial park where our research institute is located. I happened to know a few programmers. Their wages were high and their working hours were long."
At the end, he added: "Longer than my time."
Cao Shuxu nodded: "Brother Shujie is right, it is true."
At this point, he picked up the teacup and blew away the broken tea leaves floating on the surface, and said: "I go to work at 9:30 in the morning and get off work at 2 or 3 in the morning."
"Damn it, this time is so awesome!" Cao Tiemin was particularly surprised. He never expected that working hours would be so abnormal.
Cao Shuxu was used to it. He said, "Brothers, how long can I last with this schedule?"
"To put it bluntly, if I want to continue working, let alone whether I can keep up, I won't be able to survive for a few years even if I try this way? I will die suddenly by then!"
"What are you talking about? Aren't you fine now?" Ding Yunan came from the kitchen at some point carrying a plate of watermelon.
She put the plate of watermelon on the table for them to eat first, then raised her hand and slapped Cao Shuxu on the back: "Husband, don't talk nonsense in the future, otherwise you will say you have it if you don't have it.
What should I do with you?"
"Haha, okay, let's not talk anymore." Cao Shuxu dropped the topic and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? I have a friend in Shencheng who wants to open a factory and invest in making data lines. He came here once.
I want to get him to work with me, but I have been hesitating."
"Brother Xu, why are you hesitating? How much money do you need to invest? How is the market? What is the market's rate of return? Have you done any research on this?" Cao Zhen asked five questions in a row.
Cao Shujie was also thinking about this question seriously at this time, but he didn't have an answer for a while.
Cao Shuxu said: "It's okay. If I tell you something, you won't believe it."
Cao Shujie also paused to think about the problem. He, Cao Zhen, and Cao Tiemin listened carefully.
Then I heard Cao Shuxu say: "My friend worked as a data cabler for three months, and then he took back the full price of a purely imported Mercedes-Benz S350L that was just launched last year. Do you believe it?"
"Mercedes-Benz S350L?" Cao Tiemin had never touched one before and was a little confused.
But Cao Zhen knew it, and he said: "Brother Xu, are you talking about the one with an ex-factory price of 1.4 million?"
Cao Shuxu nodded casually and said, "It's hard to buy this car. The price will increase. The whole deal is almost 1.8 million!"
"Brother Xu, your friend is so awesome, he earned 1.8 million in three months?" Cao Tiemin felt bad.
He thought that he could earn 200,000 yuan a year, which was a lot, but Cao Shuxu suddenly told him today that someone had earned 1.8 million yuan in three months?
"It would take me more than nine years to earn so much money." Cao Tiemin felt like his breathing was heavy.
But Cao Shuxu added: "Tiemin, who told you that my friend earned 1.8 million in three months?"
When he said this, Cao Tiemin's mood instantly improved. It didn't seem to be that much. He said, "Let me just say, no one can make money so well."
Hearing what he said, Cao Shuxu burst out laughing: "Tiemin, my friend's monthly net income is more than 1 million. Otherwise, would he dare to buy a Mercedes-Benz S350?"
"Uh!" Cao Tiemin leaned back, patted his chest quickly, and waved his hand: "I can't do it anymore, you guys talk first, let me take a breather."
"Haha, Tiemin, you only have this little potential and how much money you have, so I scared you into this." Cao Shujie said to him.
But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Cao Shujie was also surprised and admired!
He originally thought he was awesome after buying Bitcoin and making more than 1 million in less than half a year, but today he discovered that he had met someone even more awesome than him.
Moreover, the other party is a real businessman, which makes him even more powerful than him.
The key point is that he heard it from other people, and he never saw this 'big cow'.
"Brother Xu, is this data cable business so easy to do? Can you make a net profit of more than 1 million yuan in a month?" Cao Shujie asked.
He couldn't understand how a small data cable could be so profitable?
Cao Shuxu thought for a moment and then said: "It's a lot of use. So many people have mobile phones now. How many data cables do you think we need?"
"According to my friend, this thing has low cost and high profit, plus the volume is large, it is difficult not to make money." Cao Shuxu said this.
"In addition, my friends and I have also speculated that in the next few years, the shipment volume of mobile phones will definitely become larger and larger. By that time, the market for data cables will be even larger, so this deal is not wrong!"
Cao Shujie heard some clues from Cao Shuxu's words. Cao Shuxu wanted to do this business, but he was hesitant.
This made Cao Shujie a little confused. Faced with a profitable business, what was he hesitating about?
"Brother Xu, why don't you do this together with your friend?" Cao Tiemin was also curious and asked him.
Cao Shuxu thought for a while and then said: "My friend wants to invest and build a factory in Africa. The labor force there is lower. If I invest, I will have to go abroad with him. In this case, my wife will have to stay in Shencheng by herself."
It may take a long time for me to come back to look after my children."
This reason was something that none of Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin had thought of.
This time the three of them did not give any advice.
Firstly, they don't know much about the data cable business, and secondly, Cao Shuxu's housework is involved here. As outsiders, their relationship with Cao Shuxu is not good enough to interfere with his housework, so they are very smart.
Shut up and stop discussing this issue.
Ding Yunan cooked the dishes very quickly, and soon she started bringing the dishes into the room.
On the surface, these dishes look very nice and the color is very beautiful, which is completely different from the cooking methods in the north.
"Come and try your sister-in-law's cooking. It's very good. Especially after the New Year, when you are tired of eating big fish and meat, try these dishes again. I guarantee you will like them!" Cao Shuxu said.
Cao Shujie and the other three were not polite, took chopsticks or spoons and started eating.
After tasting a little bit, Cao Shujie felt that this dish was more light and sweet, an authentic southern recipe.
And as Cao Shuxu said just now, he doesn't feel tired after eating these dishes, and he wants to take two more bites.
"My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious!" Cao Shujie raised his thumb and praised sincerely.
Ding Yunan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin also liked it one after another.
Although I am a little uncomfortable with this method, it is undeniable that the food cooked by Ding Yunan tastes really good.
"If you think it's delicious, you can eat more, and I'll make some pig's trotter soup and winter melon voodoo." Ding Yunan said.
Seeing her turn around and walk out, Cao Zhen and Cao Shujie stood up almost at the same time and shouted: "Sister-in-law, stop cooking. If you cook too much, you won't be able to eat it. It's a waste."
"It's okay, you can eat as much as you can." Ding Yunan pointed to the kitchen and said: "I have put the pig's feet in the pressure cooker and it's almost time. The winter melon Gu is almost ready in the pot. I'll go over and bring it over."
"Oh, Brother Xu, you are too polite." Cao Tiemin said.
Cao Shuxu laughed: "I work hard alone outside. When I see you when I come back, I feel friendly. Brothers, please eat more. Let's chat while eating. Don't be in a hurry."
Cao Shujie asked him: "Brother Xu, are you leaving tomorrow too?"
"Yes, tomorrow morning I will take Uncle Quan's car to the provincial capital. From there, I will fly back to Shencheng. It will take about three hours to get there." Cao Shuxu said.
——
"So fast!" Cao Tiemin had never flown on an airplane, so he had no idea about the speed of an airplane.
Cao Zhen shouted: "When I return to Xinjiang in two days, I don't plan to take the train. I will fly back at my own expense. It will take more than four hours to get there."
"Isn't it expensive?" Cao Tiemin said.
Cao Zhen nodded: "I checked, the discounted ticket is less than 1,500 yuan."
Cao Shuxu said with a smile: "This price is almost the same as if we went to Shencheng!"
Cao Zhen nodded, and Patiguli called him, saying that she missed him, and urged him to take a flight back, and she would pay for the air ticket.
That's okay, I have to take a plane back.
They drank and chatted, and more than two hours passed before they knew it. When they were about to leave, Cao Shujie suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Xu, where is my Grandpa Zhenghe?"
"My dad took him to visit my aunt's house." Cao Shuxu said.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Cao Shuxu quickly picked up all the things they had brought and asked them to take them back.
After the three people walked out for a short distance, they put their things on the ground and ran away together.
Cao Shuxu waited until night and sent them one by one.
Cao Shujie said at that time why he was so polite, but Cao Shuxu said: "I asked you to go drink, just go empty-handed, but you have to take something. If you are so polite, you don't treat me as a family member!"
"Shujie, call me when you go to Shencheng from now on, remember!" Cao Shuxu warned him.
Seeing Cao Shuxu turn around and walk away very freely, Cao Shujie opened his mouth but said nothing.
Instead, Cheng Xiaolin asked him: "Shujie, that Brother Xu just now seemed very unusual."
"Of course, wife, let me tell you, the QQ mailbox we usually use is made by someone else, so you can judge whether he is awesome or not," Cao Shujie said.
"He works at QQ?" Cheng Xiaolin then came back to her senses and asked her husband.
"Well!" Cao Shujie went upstairs and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."
…
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shujie was about to go out to walk his dog when he received a text message and a phone call.
The text message was sent by Cao Shuxu, telling him that he had boarded the long-distance bus from Cao Jianquan's house in the village to the provincial capital. He also said that he would meet again next time and drink more when everyone was gone.
Cao Shujie sent him a reply: "The plane went against the wind all the way!"
"Brother, thank you!"
The call was from Cao Zhen. He told Cao Shujie: "I will report to the company today, and tomorrow I will go to the provincial capital and take a direct flight to the airport near Changji, Xinjiang."
"Okay, your grandma will come back alone this time. Next time, remember to bring your wife back with you. I'll treat you to a meal."
While on the phone, Cao Shujie came out of the house with four dogs. He shouted: "Cao Zhen, remember to discuss the marriage with your wife as soon as possible when you go back. You are both very old, so don't delay it anymore, as soon as possible.
!”
He also said: "If you get married in late March or early April, you can go directly to my orchard to pick the freshest strawberries, and then you two can eat whatever you want."
"Go away, I remembered you promised to mail it to me. Did you want to save on shipping costs?" Cao Zhen was not fooled.
Cao Shujie laughed: "If you don't mind eating it badly, I'll mail it to you."
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is gradually disappearing as everyone goes out.
After Cao Zhen, Cao Shuxu, Cao Tiemin and others left, Caojiazhuang, which had seemed lively before, seemed to freeze in an instant and began to quiet down.
Cao Shujie also got rid of the sequelae of the Spring Festival and began to slowly get into work mode.
He has always felt that if people do nothing, they will easily become useless.
…
On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shujie asked his wife for 2,000 yuan, folded it into squares, and walked up the mountain.
When he saw Chao Shuchao, who was pruning apple trees and kiwi fruit in the orchard, he first called out to him: "Brother Chao, take a break first."
"Shujie, you're here too." Cao Shuchao pointed to the branches of the fruit trees and said, "I think some fruit branches have too many branches and it's not good to leave them on, so I cut them off before they sprout."
"In addition, some extra small branches are also cut off so that other thick branches can absorb more nutrients." Cao Shuchao said.
Cao Shujie also knew this. He nodded, took out the 2,000 yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cao Shuchao: "Brother Chao, click on it. This is 2,000 yuan."
Cao Shuchao didn't answer. He waved his hands in a panic: "Shujie, isn't this right? I haven't had any rest this month. My salary should be 1,705 yuan. Even if I add a bonus of 115 yuan, it's only over 1,800 yuan."
"That's right, the rest is my top-up reward for the Chinese New Year." Cao Shujie said this.
"Brother Chao, although you haven't been here long, you have done a really good job. I know it in my heart. Just take it." Cao Shujie once again gave Cao Shuchao money.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Shuchao said thank you several times before taking the money and stuffing it into his trouser pocket.
"Brother Chao, if you don't do well, I will definitely not give you this money." Cao Shujie corrected his idea.
He added: "Brother Chao, and the person you introduced to me years ago is... Zhu Shengliang, right?"
Seeing Cao Shuchao nodding.
Cao Shujie then said: "Brother Chao, ask your friend to officially come to work starting from tomorrow. I will call Boss Cui later and ask him to send us a calf tomorrow."
"Okay! I'll call him right now and ask him to come over today to familiarize himself with the work." Cao Shuchao was very thoughtful.
Cao Shujie did not object.
Tomorrow will be very busy. It would be a good thing if Zhu Shengliang could come over today to familiarize himself with the work site.
Today I went to a hobby class with my daughter, and I learned to code faster at the training school.
