Chapter 1479 Teacher Dad Said Boys Can't Have Children
Chapter 1479 Dad, the teacher said boys can’t have children, you are stupid (5100 words)
"Tongtong, please go away. I will pretend that I never gave birth to you." Xia Zekai had a heartbroken expression on his face.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Tongtong had no reaction at all. She even rolled her eyes at Xia Zekai: "Dad, you are stupid. I was not born to you, I was born to my mother."
"Our teacher said that only girls can have children, but boys can't!"
"Ahem..." Xia Zekai coughed a few times. He wondered which teacher said this?
Has this been taught since elementary school?
It's so fierce.
Luo Xiyun didn't expect their second child to say that, so he couldn't stand it any longer and burst out laughing on the spot.
Sisters Yatou and Tongtong were a little nervous, perhaps because of the exam. After finishing their homework and eating, they went back to the study room to read for half an hour more.
Well, I only watched it for half an hour longer!
After reading it, they still played as they wanted. The five siblings gathered together and heard intermittent laughter and screams coming from the villa from time to time, which made Xia Zekai frown.
But Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling have now reached the stage of following suit.
When they see what their two sisters do, they will subconsciously imitate them.
At this time, if Yatou and Tongtong had any bad habits, Luo Xiyun would always stop them quickly, for fear that over time, they would teach the three little ones bad habits.
On the afternoon of the next day, Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong returned from their hometown. Xia Zekai was a little disappointed when he saw that there were only his parents and no grandfather.
Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling didn't care about anything else. When they saw grandpa and grandma coming back, they immediately stopped playing with toys, stood up and ran towards them.
While running, he shouted: "Grandpa, grandma."
"Hey, do you miss grandpa?" Xia Weicheng had already squatted down and opened his hands, for fear that the three of them would fall over.
Unexpectedly, Qingyu and Jing Ling were about to run in front of them, but they turned a corner and ran towards grandma. Only Chenchen was slow to turn the corner and was hugged by Xia Weicheng. Chenchen still struggled to get down.
.
"Grandpa, let go, I'm going to find grandma." the little guy said.
Xia Zekai looked very happy.
"Dad, how is my grandpa?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Hearing that his son was asking about business, Xia Weicheng let Chenchen go and allowed his grandson to play with their grandma. He said, "It's good. Your grandpa is quite strong. Your mother originally told him to follow him."
Come here, but your grandpa doesn’t agree, so no matter how hard you try to persuade me, it’s all in vain.”
"Well, I knew it would be like this." Xia Zekai didn't say much else.
He knew very well that if he could be persuaded, he would have done so last time, but it was of no use. His grandpa was pretty cool.
Xia Weicheng said 'hmm' and said: "When I go back this time, I took out the retirement salary in the card in the round amount of 60,000 yuan. Before I left, I asked your mother to leave all the money with your aunt. I will give it to you then.
Grandpa bought food and clothes. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Dad, don't think too much about it. Let's look at it later." Xia Zekai raised his eyebrows, as if he was brewing some idea. He said, "It really doesn't work. I will go back to my hometown to pick up my grandpa during the Chinese New Year.
."
They are all over ninety years old!
It would be unfilial to say that there might be no tomorrow but today. Xia Zekai still wanted to take his grandfather around more when he was alive to see and taste some of the specialties of various places.
In the evening, after Yatou and Tongtong came back from school, they were very happy to see their grandpa and grandma back. Before they did their homework, they started telling their grandpa and grandma what happened in school.
"Grandpa, grandma, we have the exam next week, and I will definitely get the first place in the exam."
"I'll take second place!" Tongtong said after her sister.
The two sisters made Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong laugh from ear to ear.
They don't care how many exams their two granddaughters get, they care more about how happy their two children are.
…
After the beginning of winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower, with sub-zero temperatures often appearing. TV has also reported that there will be rain, sleet and snow in the near future, so everyone should take precautions when traveling.
The meteorological department also said that due to the cold wave, there may be a heavy snowfall this year...
But no one takes it seriously. Although the accuracy of weather forecasts in the past two years has been much higher than before, it is still not accurate enough compared to before. In reality, the accuracy is still insufficient.
Besides, you can’t hide at home and not go out just because it might snow heavily.
What's the difference between that and not eating for fear of choking to death?
Xia Zekai is going to have a meeting at Yingdu Building today.
After sending Yatou and Tongtong to school in the morning, he got in the car and told Wang Yi to go to Yingdu Building.
The AVIC Building is still under renovation and is expected to be completed in December and will be moved there early next year.
Zhang Yiming also specifically told him on this matter that Capita Home Decoration's decoration was very reliable.
More than half an hour later, Xia Zekai's car arrived at Yingdu Building. After getting off the car, he went straight on.
I haven’t seen Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo for a few days, but when they met, they were particularly enthusiastic.
"Brother Xia, are you free tonight? Lao Liang is having a wedding next weekend. Let's have a drink tonight." Zhang Yiming said.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he thought this was a good thing, so he had to drink something to celebrate.
He said: "Let's go have a drink together at noon. We can't do it at night. I promised your eldest niece that I have to go home for dinner tonight."
"My eldest niece? Girl?" Liang Rubo asked subconsciously.
Seeing Xia Zekai nodding, Liang Rubo and Zhang Yiming became even more confused.
"Brother Xia, are you being controlled by my niece now?" Zhang Yiming heard Xia Zekai say this. He wanted to laugh, but he still held it back with all his strength.
Xia Zekai explained the reason. After hearing this, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo looked at each other, never expecting that this was the reason.
Liang Rubo said: "I really didn't expect that children today would be so sensitive."
"Girl is not young anymore, she is already ten years old this year," Zhang Yiming said.
Seeing Xia Zekai nodding, he said: "You can't underestimate today's children. When I came back from get off work two days ago, I saw two children discussing friends in the corridor, haha!"
Speaking of this, Xia Zekai remembered the first 'justice' that his family Tongtong had presided over when he was just in the first grade when he was in Qicheng. Thinking about it to this day, he still finds it incredible.
"Brother Xia, let's go. Director Shen and the others are waiting. Let's go to the meeting first." Zhang Yiming mentioned.
"Let's go!" Xia Zekai followed Zhang Yiming towards the conference room.
Not only the three of them are present today, but 12 other shareholders or shareholder representatives of Toutiao are also here.
As soon as he entered the conference room, Xia Zekai saw Lao Shen. Xia Zekai and Shen Nanpeng had not seen each other since March this year after Yixing completed the D round of financing. When he saw Lao Shen, Xia Zekai suddenly felt particularly cordial.
.
In addition to Lao Shen's surprise, Wang Qiong, Cao Yi, Zhou Hongyi and others also came over.
"It's all good." Xia Zekai said to himself, then clasped his hands and said, "Good morning, friends."
"Boss Xia, good morning, sit down quickly!"
"Mr. Xia, I haven't seen you show up recently. Are you working on some big project again?" Zhou Hongyi asked.
Wang Qiong said with a smile: "I guess Boss Xia must be making money secretly. He doesn't plan to take us to play anymore."
"Mr. Wang, please let this go. When have I ever made money secretly?" Xia Zekai firmly disagreed. He said, "I make money openly."
"Hey, Boss Xia, hurry up and tell me what money-making projects you have now, and take my sister with you. If I make money, I will give you half of the profit." Wang Qiong followed.
Hearing what she said, everyone else also looked curiously, looking at Xia Zekai one by one, eager to hear what other money-making projects Xia Zekai, the world's richest man, had been working on recently.
Who would have thought that Xia Zekai would say: "You are just speculating in the stock market. Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't look at how hot the stock market is now? It's a bull market and you don't make a lot of money."
"..."
When the dozen or so people in the conference room heard Xia Zekai say "stock trading," they lost interest.
Not to mention Xia Zekai, among the dozen or so people here, it can be said that everyone is speculating, and some of them have professional teams working on this.
For example, when capital investors such as Sequoia China and Haina Asia say they have no investment in this area, no one believes them.
After Xia Zekai finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Qiong: "Sister Wang, I have told you the tricks. When can you give me half of the profits?"
"Boss Xia, okay, just now I was Mr. Wang, but when it comes time to divide the money, I become Sister Wang. You are really realistic," Wang Qiong said to him.
In one sentence, everyone in the conference room was amused.
"Mia, is everyone here?" Zhang Yiming asked his secretary...
After hearing this, Mia nodded quickly: "Director Zhang, everyone is here."
"Okay, in that case, let's have a meeting now." Zhang Yiming said.
Hearing what he said, everyone else stopped talking. They all turned to look at Zhang Yiming, wanting to hear what he wanted to say when he called everyone together today.
Back to a few days ago, Zhang Yiming sent a letter to shareholders. In this letter, he explained that he would convene everyone to discuss a major event related to the development of "Today's Toutiao" and hoped that all shareholders would be present.
Because of his email, all shareholders of Toutiao were present.
"Everyone, Toutiao plans to launch a new product. The content and functional modules of this new product are basically the same as the current Toutiao APP. The accounts of the two products are also common. The only difference is that the new product will have built-in card redemption.
system……"
Hearing what he said, many people in the conference room were thoughtful, but they were not in a hurry to ask him what this exchange system meant.
"I have a PPT here about the functional modules related to the new product. Let's take a look at it together." After Zhang Yiming finished speaking, all the lights in the conference room were turned off, and the projection screen in front lit up. On the screen, "Today" was written.
Establishment and announcement of Toutiao Express Edition".
"Oh, this speed version is really interesting." Xia Zekai laughed when he saw these three words. He thought of many apps with the words speed version.
Coincidentally, every APP with the express version has a built-in module for exchanging gold coins for RMB, using a "snatching" method to attract new users.
But in fact, the first app to implement this function was an APP called Qutoutiao. After it developed this functional module, it was listed on the download list of major application platforms in a short period of time.
Achieved the fastest growth in the number of daily active users and monthly active users.
In other words, because of Xia Zekai's suggestion, Toutiao stole the idea of Qutoutiao in advance and became the pioneer of this function.
There is a saying that the first person to eat crabs will either make a lot of money or lose a lot. Xia Zekai also agrees with this sentence.
And this has been verified.
In his memory, it only took two years for Qutoutiao to be listed on Nasdaq from its establishment. At the beginning of its listing, it achieved a total market value of more than 6 billion U.S. dollars. This is not unreasonable.
After Qutoutiao, there is no other high-tech company that has borrowed this idea and achieved remarkable results during this period of time.
The thing that Xia Zekai remembers most is that when this product was first launched, he made a lot of money on Qutoutiao.
But later, after this product was fully publicized and more and more people used it, it became unavailable and it was difficult to even earn a dollar.
Now Toutiao is going to make such an independent product, using a similar program to allow users to collect cards and exchange them for mobile phones. It is actually no different from the original method of accumulating gold coins and exchanging RMB.
In addition, the value of mobile phones is higher and more attractive, but collecting cards to redeem mobile phones also has a drawback. The unit price of mobile phones is too high. It is obvious that Toutiao will not produce enough mobile phones to carry out this activity.
Then, if some users have been unable to collect all the cards and cannot reach their mobile phones, they may lose their patience in collecting cards and stop using this product over time.
Xia Zekai considered this disadvantage and thought that when he would have a meeting later, he could tell Yiming about the idea of exchanging gold coins for RMB. The mobile phone was not so easy to exchange, but it would be difficult to exchange for one RMB after accumulating enough gold coins.
Compared with the difficulty of redeeming a mobile phone, it is definitely very different.
This gold coin has a higher probability of being exchanged for RMB, and there is also a longer-term prize of ‘collecting cards to exchange for mobile phones’, which can also inspire users’ confidence in long-term use of this product.
This will increase user activity and the length of time users use the product. When these key data increase, the unit price of advertising can be increased, thereby converting 'traffic' into more advertising revenue in the later period.
He was thinking about these things in his mind. After listening to Zhang Yiming explain the concept of Toutiao Express Edition and the characteristics of the product, Xia Zekai's thoughts became more complete.
——
Zhang Yiming spoke for a full 20 minutes. He elaborated on the various ideas and concepts of Toutiao Express Edition and the subsequent situations that will arise.
After he finished speaking, the last page of the PPT showed several key points he just mentioned. This was for the shareholders and their authorized representatives in the conference room to see.
He said: "If you have any opinions, feel free to mention them. Everything we do now is for Toutiao's future development and higher value."
"On the basis of ensuring existing users as much as possible, our company will continue to increase the development of in-depth markets and allow more users and users to stay in our products during their leisure time to ensure subsequent advertising revenue and the value-added of the product itself.
Can continue to grow, and in this way make the investment of everyone here more valuable!”
Regarding this issue, Liang Rubo, Xia Zekai, and Zhang Yiming had communicated in private, but the other 12 shareholders felt very fresh after hearing the entire report.
Some people realize that this may be an important means for all social application apps to open up the market to users in the future.
In other words, it is necessary to realize a process from when users need to pay for using the APP, to when the APP in turn gives money to users.
"Director Zhang, does this cost a lot of money? Do we need to do this?" The speaker was Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia China.
He realized at first glance the supply and demand relationship here. That is to say, if the Toutiao Express Edition project is officially established, the company will have to spend a large amount of money for a long time in the future.
Regarding the distribution and publicity of this area, he felt that this was very detrimental to the shareholders themselves.
However, he also knows that if this method is used, Toutiao APP will usher in a continuous explosion and growth of user usage in a short period of time, but Shen Nanpeng always feels that this method is like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Today's Toutiao APP uses this method, so will the next APP also use this method?
Will other APPs also use this method in the future?
He said what was on his mind directly.
After Shen Nanpeng finished explaining his views, Wang Qiong also expressed his opinions.
"Director Zhang, are you going to spend a lot of money again?"
Wang Qiong asked very directly, and she also said what the other shareholders wanted to say.
At this point, all the shareholders here actually understand why Zhang Yiming re-established the Toutiao Express Edition as a new project, but also related the content and modules to the original Toutiao APP, as well as the interoperability of accounts.
To put it bluntly, as long as they all agree to this project today, its subsequent investment will be huge, which will harm the interests of shareholders to a certain extent.
Seeing that the other shareholders present showed their opposition, Zhang Yiming also became a little anxious, which was not consistent with his expectations.
He feels that these shareholders also understand that if the value of the product itself is improved in this step, the value of their shares will increase even further.
The reason for my opposition is probably because I have to continue to contribute money.
At this time, Zhang Yiming was thinking about what to say to get other shareholders to agree, when he suddenly heard a voice at the scene saying: "I agree, this is a good idea. If Toutiao continues to grow, what we have in our hands will
Shares are more valuable. Everyone, if anyone thinks that this project is not good and will affect your interests, please let me know if you want to quit. I happen to have some spare money in my hand, and I am thinking of finding some projects to invest in."
