Xue Ling nodded in approval: "This is a good idea! But don't you think you are too anxious now?"
For this determination to "prove one's abilities", turning against her husband, whom she has loved for many years, and not even being able to take care of her lovely little son - this is too much.
Xue Ling herself is a veritable strong woman, but she has always urged the younger generations or young people around her not to ignore their family or relatives, so as not to leave regrets in their own lives.
No matter how busy she is, she never dares to neglect teaching the children and taking care of the elderly.
No matter how busy she was in the past, she still had to spend some time with her children, the elderly and her husband every day.
Relationships require time and energy. If you ignore or neglect them, you may not be able to make up for it, or even cause huge regrets throughout your life.
Career is of course very important, and it is indispensable for both men and women.
But life can't just be career. Love, family, and family are equally important and indispensable.
She pursues her career blindly, breaks up with her husband, and cannot take care of her family and children. Such an unbalanced lifestyle is incorrect and will cause her to lose more sooner or later.
Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"Auntie, it's not what I'm worried about...it's the general environment. Everyone around you is working hard to succeed. Even if I don't move forward, I have to be pushed forward - I can't help it
ah."
Her classmates and colleagues were working hard one by one, so she had no reason not to follow suit. The environment was like this, even if she didn't want to leave, she would be pushed away.
Xue Ling laughed dumbly: "Xiao Tong, it's not my aunt who is throwing cold water on you. I have been here, and I have struggled, so I know how difficult it is to make money. If I didn't have the foundation laid by my parents, I would have just caught up.
The motherland has great opportunities for development, but I cannot have as much as I do today. You are not a native of the imperial capital, you don’t have many resources, and you don’t have anyone else to help you. If you just rely on your passion to fight, it will be difficult to succeed."
It's not that you won't succeed, it's just that the probability of success is low and you have to pay a lot.
She didn't know much about the projects Xiaotong's company was engaged in, but she heard Duoduo and Yangyang talking about it.
They are not optimistic about it because Xiaotong Company does not have its own strong technical support and its own professional operation team.
In a highly competitive business environment like the Imperial Capital, passion and confidence alone are far from enough.
Xiao Tong's eyes turned red for a moment and he choked up: "Auntie, I... I really didn't expect it to be so difficult. There are really many, many difficulties... I solved this one today, and there will be another one tomorrow. I am so worried about all kinds of things...
There is a serious lack of funds and I have to do all kinds of work... I have been working very hard."
"I know." Xue Ling whispered distressedly: "Auntie knows it all. At that time, we could still do reckless things, and it was easier to make money when we came and went. Your era is different. With the digitization of information, technical requirements are higher, and capital requirements are also higher.
Higher. Xiao Tong, after all, aunt just wants to advise you not to put too much pressure on yourself."
Xiao Tong choked up: "But I... can't stop. It's hard to get off the tiger. If we don't hold on now, the company will definitely collapse, and then it will be nothing. We have no way back, we can only keep going.
Keep doing it."
Xue Ling frowned and asked: "If your APP is successful, when will it be profitable? How to attract traffic? How to make money? When will the cost be recovered?"
Xiao Tong shook his head slightly: "We still don't know the future situation... If it succeeds, we should be able to make money within a few years."
"Alas..." Xue Ling couldn't help but sigh: "How many APPs are there on the market now? Have you done any research? Once an APP is built, if it cannot make money quickly, the situation will be different in a few years.
Nowadays, technology is developing so fast. Once the technology is available, it will be put into production immediately. If it fails, it will be stopped immediately. This can minimize the stop loss situation. If you have no confidence in making money in the next few years, then where will your company's expenses come from in the next few years?
Now that the funds are insufficient, how can we survive the next few years?"
If a company wants to continue operating, how long can it survive without the support of a continuous capital chain and relying solely on the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of its employees?
Not to mention other things, the housing prices in the city center are so high, and the rent of offices is also high. The fixed expenses of rent and workers' wages alone cannot be met without funds!
Xiao Tong looked confused and at a loss: "We have been trying our best to attract sponsorships recently... Unfortunately, there is no news yet."
Xue Ling reminded gently: "If others are very optimistic about this project, you don't need to solicit sponsorship. People will naturally compete to invest money and get a share of the pie in the future. There are many investors in the Imperial City, and many of them are wealthy owners.
.Most of the reasons why others don’t invest are because they are not optimistic about your project.”
After a pause, she added softly: "Xiao Tong, it's great for young people to have a fighting spirit. It's okay to work hard, but you can't be reckless."
Xiao Tong hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, did Duoduo tell you? He also didn't invest because the project was not promising... so he didn't invest?"
"More than that." Xue Ling explained: "Duoduo and I are both businessmen. The essence of a businessman is to pursue profits. Everything is for profit. If there is no profit, businessmen will naturally not be able to invest. This is one of them. In addition, Duoduo has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.
There are still debts. The Siheyuan still owes Tietou a huge sum of money, doesn't it? Although my brother helped pay in advance, Duoduo still has to save money to pay it back, right?"
Xiao Tong couldn't help but ask: "How much is still owed? He - his dividends and bonuses at the end of the year are still quite large."
Xue Ling shook his head: "It won't be enough in the short term. Tietou seems to have helped him pay around 100 million. Just relying on the company's dividends and bonuses, he will have to save a lot for many years."
Xiao Tong lowered his eyes and whispered: "I thought he didn't support my business and wanted me to give up and go to him as soon as possible..."
"He feels sorry for you." Xue Ling said: "He is grateful that I gave him such a good platform for him to perform. In the same way, he also hopes that you can stand by his side and give you a better starting point without having to do it yourself.
Go fight till your head bleeds."
Xiao Tong turned away his face, his eyes were red.
"He...he only laughs at me. If he could talk to me as nicely as you do, he wouldn't be like this at all."
Xue Ling couldn't help but remind: "It proves that there is not much communication between the two of you. He is wrong, and you are also wrong."
Xiao Tong couldn't refute, and couldn't find a reason to refute.
For more than a year, she really didn't like to talk to Zheng Duoduo about her true thoughts. She always felt that women had to have their own thoughts and ideas. It seemed that if she talked to him too much, she would be easily led by him.
