Xia Zekai drank too much at night. The eldest brother and the second brother wanted Xia Zekai to stay tonight and sleep with his uncle Xia Weiguo for one night, but Xia Zekai refused to say anything. He insisted on going back. The two elder brothers had no choice.
There's a solution.
Xia Yunfei's face turned camel red from drinking. He said with a hint of drunkenness in his mouth: "Zekai, if you have to go back, I won't stop you, but you can't drive by yourself. I have a friend who specializes in driving for people."
If you drive a car to pick up jobs, I'll ask him if he can pick up your job tonight."
"Driving for me?" Hearing this word, Xia Zekai was a little confused.
The second brother, Xia Yunhui, told him: "I'm just standing guard at the door of the hotel. If anyone is drunk and can't drive, he will help drive him back. They will give him a dozen to several dozen depending on the distance."
"Isn't this just a driving service?" The word suddenly came out of Xia Zekai's mouth.
He had never noticed or seen the kind of people in his memory who were riding mini electric bikes and wearing blue vests squatting near the hotel. He didn't know that at this time, a group of pioneers who were the first to serve as drivers had already appeared.
It's just that this group of people is still unorganized, undisciplined, and very unorganized. Unlike later when they had a platform, a formal company, and a complete system, they became more standardized.
The eldest brother's friend was called Ma Pengfei. After he received the call, although he was very sleepy, he crawled out of bed and took the job. He didn't say anything about the money.
In such a situation, the second brother Xia Yunhui, his cousin and his husband simply stopped taking a taxi alone and went back together.
The second brother is also very familiar with Ma Pengfei. Xia Zekai seems to have some impression of him. He must have come to play with the eldest brother before he graduated and had meals with him. He must have had dinner with this brother Ma.
After the car entered Qicheng from Zhoucheng, it first went around to the south of the city and dropped cousin-in-law Qi Lixin and cousin Zhao Ting at the gate of the community where they lived, and then sent the second brother back.
"Brother Ma, I live in Ziyu Garden on Xiba Road. Just park your car for me in the parking lot in front of the sales office." Xia Zekai was afraid that he would not find the place, so he told him in detail.
Ma Pengfei nodded: "I know that place."
There were very few cars coming and going at night, and almost no pedestrians could be seen on the road. It took only ten minutes to reach Ziyu Garden after speeding all the way, plus the traffic lights.
After arriving here, Xia Zekai politely gave in, but Ma Pengfei insisted on going back. Xia Zekai didn't force himself, took out 300 yuan in cash from his bag and forced it on Ma Pengfei.
Seeing that Ma Pengfei wanted to throw it to him, Xia Zekai said with a straight face: "Brother Ma, if you don't want the money, I definitely can't let you go."
"Your brother and I are very good friends, why do you have to do this?" Ma Pengfei also retorted.
Xia Zekai said: "Brother Ma, this is what you do. This is your business. If you don't want it during the day, I will keep you for a meal. But at night, it's twelve o'clock and I still let you get out of bed."
Climb out of here, if you don’t want the money, where can I put my face?”
Ma Pengfei may have been persuaded by Xia Zekai's words, and he finally took the money away.
Xia Zekai shook his head and walked upstairs.
When they arrived on the 16th floor, Xia Zekai tried to be gentle when opening the door, for fear of disturbing the three sleeping mothers.
But he never expected that as soon as he turned on the small spotlight on the top of the entrance hall, through the warm-colored light, he saw his wife Luo Xiyun lying on the sofa in the living room.
She was wearing gray silk pajamas, covered with a light blue blanket, and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Xia Zekai felt a little uncomfortable. If he didn't come back tonight, would this girl have to sleep on the sofa all night?
"Daughter-in-law, wake up, wake up quickly." Xia Zekai walked over, patted her shoulder gently, and called her softly.
Luo Xiyun didn't sleep deeply. After a while, her eyelids began to move. Then she opened her eyes. She looked a little frightened at first. After she saw clearly that it was Xia Zekai, she relaxed, rubbed her eyelids and sat upright: "
You are back, why am I still asleep?"
"It's past one o'clock, why are you still asleep in the living room? Didn't I tell you to go to bed early?" Xia Zekai said to her.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a smoky smell of wine sprayed towards Luo Xiyun's face.
"Well, it really stinks!" Luo Xiyun subconsciously raised his hand to cover his nose: "How much wine have you drunk? I remember who said you won't drink tonight."
"Hey, I didn't drink today. I drank last night." Xia Zekai said with a playful smile.
Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to pay attention to him, saying, "Just come back. I'm so sleepy that I'll go to the bedroom to sleep first."
"Go on, go on, I'm going to take a shower and sleep in the guest bedroom tonight." Xia Zekai said.
Although it was almost three o'clock when I went to bed at night, I was still woken up by the annoying biological clock at six o'clock in the morning.
When he came out, Luo Xiyun had already finished breakfast and was ready to leave.
After seeing him, Luo Xiyun said: "I thought you wouldn't go to work today and have a good rest at home. I didn't call you just now."
"Well, I'll send them to the kindergarten first and come back to rest later." Xia Zekai pointed to the two sisters who had not yet gotten up in the master bedroom.
"Yesterday, the happy teacher said something. The two of them need to prepare a pair of dance shoes to learn dance. If you have time today, buy them two pairs." Luo Xiyun said.
After saying that, she took her bag and keys and went out.
Xia Zekai was completely confused: "What do children's dance shoes look like?"
"Leather? Cloth? Crystal?" Xia Zekai wanted to pull his hair in frustration.
After sending the two of them there, Xia Zekai specifically asked 'Teacher Kaixin' where to buy the children's dance shoes. After getting the answer, Xia Zekai planned to come over early in the afternoon to pick up Yatou and Tongtong, and the three of them would go there to buy shoes together.
, he then went home to sleep.
…
In an old-fashioned office building in Beijing, all the employees of "Jiujiufang" are busy moving.
Liang Rubo was directing from the side, shouting from time to time to remind employees to pay attention to safety.
Since SIG, led by Wang Qiong, invested US$1 million in Jiujiufang at the end of the year, Jiujiufang has shown a remarkable development speed after injecting this huge investment.
Four months have passed, and Jiujiufang has now completely occupied the mobile phone vertical search market in Beijing, and is radiating to other provinces and cities across the country with Beijing as the center.
According to the original estimates, Jiujiufang will achieve a series of goals by the end of this year and early next year. By then, Jiujiufang will occupy a decisive position in the field of real estate search. At that time, it will truly be realized.
Its own value also means that it is truly valuable.
And before that, it was just accumulating.
At this time, strictly speaking, Xia Zekai's investment of 900,000 yuan had turned into shares worth 3 million yuan in a few months, but this was just the beginning.
"Mr. Liang, we've finished cleaning up. Let's hurry up and get there. Mr. Zhang is waiting there in a hurry." Xi Fengjuan came over and called Liang Rubo.
Others didn't know the relationship between Liang Rubo and Zhang Yiming, but she had a clear mind and knew that Liang Rubo should not be underestimated.
Liang Rubo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down right now."
The moving company they hired helped them move furniture and sundries, but they still wanted to save money and didn't let the moving company move things from upstairs to down. This part was all done by Jiujiufang's own employees, so they could save money.
The next half of the moving costs.
The new office building is located in the Diamond Business Building on Chunzhi Road, Haidian District. Zhang Yiming rented the entire 17th floor of the Diamond Business Building in one go to serve as the company's latest office location.
There is no way, regardless of whether Jiujiufang is profitable or not, it first needs an office location with enough brand name.
Things are different now than in the past.
After several months of development and promotion, Jiujiufang has now become a well-known vertical search mobile terminal for real estate segmentation, with more than hundreds of thousands of simultaneous online visits every day.
With this foundation in place, Jiujiufang has now begun to receive advertisements. If we were still working in the old and dilapidated office building at this time, we would inherently give people the impression that we are too short and lacking in strength.
"Lao Liang, you are almost here." Zhang Yiming waited and waited. Lao Liang and the others hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't help but call Liang Rubo.
Knowing that they were already on the way, Zhang Yiming felt relieved.
Thinking of the achievements Jiujiufang has achieved in the past few months, Zhang Yiming felt very happy. He felt that at this time, he should find someone to share his success and joy.
The first thing he thought of was Wang Xing, a fellow countryman and former entrepreneurial partner. However, when thinking about the current scale and market share of Meituan led by Wang Xing, Zhang Yiming felt ashamed of himself.
The gap is too big. From a capital perspective, the two companies Meituan and Jiujiufang cannot be compared at all.
For example, Meituan claims to have allocated 600 million yuan this year for promotional discounts, which are real consumption deductions with no threshold for use.
However, Jiujiufang only raised 6 million yuan at the end of last year. In theory, it was valued at 22.5 million yuan at the time, but it was useless.
This valuation is nearly 30 times different from the money others spent on promotions, not to mention Meituan’s current value, which will only be higher than this number.
They both retreated from Fanfou.com, but the gap between the two is so big that it would make people collapse at the first sight.
They can't play well now.
Pulling his thoughts back, Zhang Yiming wondered who to call again?
"Why don't you give Boss Xia a call and tell him not to ask him to go to the original office building next time he comes to Beijing? As one of the company's shareholders, he doesn't even know where the company is. Isn't it a shame?
?" Zhang Yiming complained to Xia Zekai in his heart.
