On the first day of the new year, Yao Yuan was woken up.
It was so late during the New Year's Eve that he was still asleep until noon. Yin Yin was not there, and he was lying on the large bed, with his arms and legs spread out, sleeping soundly.
When the winter sunshine passed through the curtains and shone in from the excellent north-south orientation, the phone suddenly rang.
Yao Yuan has two mobile phones, a work account and a private account. The private one emits a pleasant piano sound of 64 chords. It hangs up after a while, and then rings again, hangs up, and rings again. It seems that it will not stop.
"Well……"
He was so annoyed that he could only reach out and touch it, and put it to his ear in a daze: "Hello?"
"Xiaoyuan, I am your third aunt!"
"What?"
"I'm the third aunt. I asked your mother for my cell phone number. Oh my, we've all seen you on TV. I didn't say anything about your kid having such a big career in the capital. Oh, you're really..."
Snapped!
Yao Yuan hung up, and after a while, another student called. It was a man, and he said he was a relative who couldn't get out of the fifth level.
He simply turned off his phone and continued to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time passed in a daze, another cell phone rang. It was my mother.
"Xiaoyuan, you said you were on TV, and eight hundred people asked me for my mobile phone number. Even the neighbor in our old house asked me. This one asked you to help arrange a job for your son, and the other asked you to invest in a chicken factory... Oops, talk.
There are no other options, even the county magistrate has to look for you!"
Yao Yuan was happy and said: "Mom, if you could cover up your proud tone, I would really believe you."
"Look what you said, my son went to CCTV to receive the award, why can't I be proud? I'm embarrassed to refuse. Anyway, just don't answer the call when you see it... Oh my god, why did he come home..."
Mom suddenly paused and heard a banging sound. Dad pretended to greet her warmly, as if someone had gone straight to the house.
"..."
Yao Yuan hung up silently, shaking his head, a bunch of nonsense.
It’s not surprising that relatives and friends come to visit, and it’s actually not surprising that parents and officials come to visit.
From the beginning of the business wave in the 1990s, until 2022, the tone of attracting investment and the economy has not changed at all. His hometown is a small run-down city, with nothing but agriculture. A few foundries and plywood factories are considered big companies.
.
In that kind of place, the rich people in people's minds are not entrepreneurs, but big hotel owners, big bathhouse owners, big karaoke bar owners...
Anyway, Yao Yuan does not have the courage of Liu Qiangdong to move many industries to Suqian.
Besides, you don’t have access to the Internet. Why invest in a breeding plant in your hometown? Damn it, there will be bird flu this year...
He got up from the bed, washed his face, refreshed himself, and sent another text message to his mother, to the effect of: "Look at this, I won't be able to go back for the Chinese New Year this year. You and your aunt come over, and I will take everyone to New Year's Eve during the Spring Festival."
Let’s have fun with Ma Tai, hurry up and get a passport.”
I felt hungry after sleeping until noon, so I dug into the refrigerator and found a bag of frozen dumplings, and cooked about 20 of them.
A big bowl, steaming hot, was brought to the computer table, where he ate and watched the news. Yao Yuan didn't like to eat quick-frozen dumplings, so they were used in emergencies.
No matter what fillings are labeled on the outside, if you eat it and it’s all sticky in your mouth, it’s definitely not good meat, and it may not even be meat...
"Dong dong dong!"
While eating, there was a sudden knock on the door. Yao Yuan looked strangely through the peephole and saw that it was Yu Jiajia.
"It's your day off, why are you here?"
"Didn't you ask me to come?"
"ah?"
"You said it yourself yesterday!"
Yao Yuan scratched his head, wondering what happened, and let her in to the living room, holding the bowl of frozen dumplings.
Yu Jiajia is one year older this year, now 30-34, but her capable temperament has washed away the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, making her look more like a female CEO.
She didn't come often. She took a stool and sat down. She took the half bag of melon seeds left by Yinyin and said while eating them: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Maili Video will be online this year."
"Ok, I know."
"For the time being, it will be under 99 Entertainment and will be managed by you."
"Don't worry, if you have too many debts, don't worry."
"Fart, video is a big industry and an important part of my ecological chain!"
"Bah, bah, bah... the melon seeds are a bit wet... is this what you called me here to say?"
Yu Jiajia does not hesitate to mix things up.
Yao Yuan was not angry, so he grabbed a few melon seeds, bah bah bah, it was indeed a bit wet, and said:
"Before the Spring Festival, I will officially announce the adjustment of the equity structure of each business. 99 Entertainment will give you 10%. Its film and television, music, video and other businesses will be spun off in the future, and those that can be listed will be listed."
"Yo!"
Yu Jiajia raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "99 Entertainment made tens of millions last year, 10%, how generous are you to me?"
"You are part of the early entrepreneurial team, and you helped us a lot when we were working on text messages. 99 Entertainment is a very important part of the future, and only you can manage it. If you still think it's too little, I don't mind if the country is divided equally."
"Come on, let's share it equally with your family Yin Yin!"
"We can't even share it with Yinyin. If we really get married, my salary will only be 1 yuan at most..."
Commander Yao made trouble with Liu Qiangdong again and said seriously: "At the same time, please pay attention to the film and television company in Hong Kong. I want to acquire it."
"Acquisition? Are you serious?"
"Of course, I still look down on small companies, at least at the level of Jiahe."
"..."
Yu Jiajia ate melon seeds and thought for a while, then said: "Your thinking is different from before. Suddenly, you feel a bit open and closed."
"The stage is different. If we are small, we have to go sideways. Now we also have certain qualifications to do mergers and acquisitions. Although Hong Kong is terrible, it is very convenient to get in and out. We need to have a piece of land of our own."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll keep an eye on it. Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'll leave..."
"Go away, go away!"
She finished half the bag of melon seeds, clapped her hands and walked away.
This year is a prosperous year for the Internet. Douban, Tudou, 56, PPS, PPLIVE, etc. were all founded in this year, which has had a profound impact on the development of domestic Internet.
99 Now that we have some capital, we don’t need to be petty, we can just invest or acquire it.
The famous YouTube will also be established in February.
This website was originally used for dating. You uploaded personal videos and said what type of opposite sex you like, but no one came. The founder had to spend money to find people, and gave 20 US dollars to each female user who was willing to upload videos.
But it was also not popular, and then it was changed to the model of "netizens upload independently and upload whatever they want"...
After Yu Jiajia left, Liu Weiwei, Wu Jun, Han Tao, Liu Qiangdong, Sun Jun, Li Daxue, Zheng Nanling and others came to the door like a stream.
Yao Yuan has a headache. How much did I drink yesterday? Why are we all scheduled on one day?
It's all the same thing, talk about the general direction in the future, and then clarify the shares, or promise shares - Sun Jun, Li Daxue and other new entrants.
Except for the community, which he firmly holds in his hands, other projects can share profits.
So, at the beginning of 2005, 99 industries officially announced the adjustment of their shareholding structure. Two people were more prominent, one was Yu Jiajia and the other Liu Qiangdong.
Dongzi temporarily obtained 4% of the shares of the mall.
