"Kotomine and I are college classmates. My family is very poor, but his background is good. His father is a professor and his uncle is a businessman. In our time, we were called ten thousand yuan households. At that time, the RMB had not depreciated so much, and our salary was one
It only cost a few dozen yuan a month. In order to pay for my college tuition, my family borrowed money from everyone in the village. I will never forget that my mother held my head and went from house to house for the tuition fee of a hundred yuan.
When I knelt down to others, I swore that I would be a master for the rest of my life."
Unknowingly, the middle-aged man sitting in the back seat chatted with Chu Yun about the past, and the expression on his face seemed to soften a little when he talked about that old incident.
"In college, Yan Feng and I met. Because my family is poor, I always have an inferiority complex towards other people, and I have always been immersed in studying, hoping that one day I can get ahead through reading, so I am not very gregarious. Originally, I and I
Yan Feng, Ruo Xi’s father, had no acquaintance with him, but one time he forgot to do a topic assigned by the professor, so I helped him casually, and ended up getting entangled in him in a strange way. Yan Feng
He is a weirdo, he has amazing mobility and thinking circuit, and he just walked into my life."
Chu Yun did not interrupt him, but listened quietly.
After all, he knew too little about the Lin family, and Lin Ruoxi never took the initiative to talk about her and her father's affairs.
The middle-aged man named Jiang Huainan took a puff of his cigar and looked into his memories.
After a while, he came to his senses and flicked the ashes from his cigarette.
"You know, I was really a person with low self-esteem at that time. I felt that Yanfeng approached me and helped me, but it was just his show-off mentality that was causing trouble. His family was rich and he could help me. It felt like
It's like giving alms to beggars. Although I am very poor, I am a person with strong self-esteem and I refuse to accept it.
"But then something happened that completely changed my view on Yanfeng. It was during my sophomore year, my mother got sick. The disease can be cured now, but the medical level was not good at that time - not to mention our
Our family was already in debt, and no one was willing to lend us any more money. My mother could no longer do heavy work and could only lie on the hospital bed to recuperate. The burden of life suddenly fell from my mother's shoulders to me. In order to
In order to pay for my mother's medicine, my brother's living expenses, and also to pay off debts, I had to drop out of school and go to work.
"If the trajectory of my life continues in accordance with fate, then I will now become the most ordinary one among them," Jiang Huainan said while looking at the pedestrians passing by outside the window: "But I am not willing to accept it. I really can't."
Willing to be willing, just when I was facing the most painful and desperate moment, Lin Yanfeng came to see me. He said that he could ask my family to let me go back to school - of course I couldn't agree. Later, he also said that he would drop out of school and come to work with me.
.You can imagine my reaction at the time. I thought he was just there to make fun of me, so I casually said yes. But when he actually put the withdrawal form in front of me, I admitted that I said anything.
Won’t come out.”
"When Lin Yanfeng's father, a professor, found out that his son had dropped out of school without consulting him, he was so angry that he kicked Yanfeng out of the house that night and threatened to sever the father-son relationship with him, but he laughed like a
It was like nothing happened. In the next few years, we kept wandering around and finally realized how difficult the situation was. Just to stay alive, we tried our best every day."
"But in that era, life was always full of opportunities. Every day, people became rich because of today's policy and tomorrow's reform. I'm not boasting. I still had some foresight for these things. At that time, I anticipated electronic technology.
The industry will definitely take off. Of course, my electronic technology is a little different from the computers and the like you are talking about now. If I insist on talking about it, it is the IT industry."
"However, no one agreed at the time, because a home PC cost 20,000 yuan, and the salary at that time was no longer more than ten yuan. The average working-class person also had four to five hundred yuan a month, but who would use this hard-earned money to
Buying such impractical luxury goods is like cars that have been around for a long time, but who would have imagined that they would be everywhere like today and become a necessity of life. But this time, Yanfeng stood up again,
Stand with me."
"I had no money at the time, and neither did he. A penny is too much for a hero. My salary had to be sent back to my hometown. If Kotomine hadn't always helped me, I wouldn't have been able to survive. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with these two people.
Savings, but doing business requires capital. At that time, the country was restructuring, factories were allocated and reorganized, and banks encouraged individual operations and provided small loans. However, with just the two of us, there was still a big gap in funds. Then Yanfeng followed
I said, why not let him beg his father?"
"I didn't sleep all night. The next day, I watched Yan Feng limping back. I could tell at a glance that he had been beaten, but he still smiled as if nothing had happened.
More than 10,000 yuan was stuffed into my hand. At that time, I swore the second oath in my life that I would succeed!" Jiang Huainan came out of his memories. He threw away the cigar with only the holder left, and sorted it out.
He picked up his suit and said: "As you can see, I succeeded, but in fact there is a saying that is right - never open a company with your best friend."
Chu Yun looked at him and asked, "What happened?"
After this question came out, Chu Yun felt that it was inappropriate to ask about other people's personal affairs, but soon Chu Yun didn't care. Didn't Jiang Huainan also check his own?
"Differences," Jiang Huainan paused, as if to collect his thoughts, and continued: "According to my original vision, he and I will one day build a well-funded business empire. Of course, this dream comes now
It seems a little young and frivolous, but I have always used this idea as motivation, but Kotomine is just the opposite. Even if you say flatteringly, he is not an excellent businessman. He is not a philistine like a businessman.
He is also not as shrewd and decisive as a businessman. He doesn't like others to suffer losses and likes some weird things - after he has money, he will spend it in some inexplicable places."
Chu Yun sweated. Jiang Huainan should be referring to Lin Ruoxi's father's funding of China's e-sports industry.
But according to Jiang Huainan's point of view: "Of course I think those are just playthings to lose one's ambition. Once you have money, you should invest in larger capital operations. But Yanfeng's focus is too low, or in other words, he does not have this ambition at all. He
I decided to go into business entirely because of me. At that time, we finally had irreconcilable differences over a listing issue. Of course, I am probably the only one who thought this was a disagreement, because Kotomine naturally ran the company.
All the decision-making power was given to me. He only retained part of the shares after financing, and at the same time occupied such a nominal company in Qiunan. For this reason, I swore a third oath. I must prove him wrong.
Let him see my future success and feel regretful."
"But in the end, only the first two of my vows came true. On the day my company was successfully listed, news of Kotomine's death came from China." Jiang Huainan's face turned gloomy, and then he looked up at Chu Yun.
: "It can be said that I, Jiang Huainan, am today thanks to Ruoxi's father. My wife and I have been married for 20 years and have no children, and I probably won't have any in the future. I have always treated Ruoxi like a daughter.
, in the future, half of my property will belong to her."
Chu Yun looked at the five million check and laughed: "So do you think this girl shouldn't make friends with someone like me to keep me away from her?"
"No, whether she likes you or not, I will never interfere with her private feelings and social circle."
"Then what do you mean?" Chu Yun didn't understand. This Jiang Huainan dragged himself to tell such a long story and gave him a check of 5 million. Could it be that he was really trying to establish a relationship?
Jiang Huainan looked at Chu Yun: "You know, I am not a person who can express emotions, and the role of a loving father is really not suitable for me, so the relationship between Ruoxi and I is still the obligation of guardian and ward.
Above, but as a person who cares about her, she is over 18 years old. I think appropriate entertainment is not impossible, but if it is regarded as the main business, it will really cause a headache... Let me get straight to the point, Chu Yun,
I found that Ruoxi has a good impression of you and listens to your words. Judging from your past performance, you are indeed a trustworthy person, so I hope you can persuade her."
"Five million is just a matter of persuasion. It's really easy to get the money." Chu Yun said with a smile.
But Jiang Huainan did not laugh: "5 million is just an early deposit. As long as you can persuade Ruoxi to take on the responsibility of my successor and be willing to accept my arrangement to study at Harvard University, I will give it to you again after the event is completed."
