Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 196 Boss Chen Xing: Long time no see (7k subscription required)

9:30 pm, Wanghu Garden.

This is a Su-style garden built on a slope between Zhongshan Mountain and Moling Lake. The best viewing point in this garden is a suspended pavilion on the outermost side of the manor.

This pavilion is a well-ventilated pavilion in summer and a warm pavilion in winter.

Shangnan has entered winter now, and the air is filled with a chill that penetrates into the bone marrow, but Lu Yao can no longer feel the cold of winter.

As he became richer, the impact of the cold on him was minimized.

After Lu Yao arrived here, he was led by the housekeeper to the warm room. The warm room was well heated, and there were snacks and dried fruits on the table. After Lu Yao came over, the housekeeper also brought a small stove and a pot of Shaoxing rice wine, as well as the ingredients for cooking the rice wine.

Ingredients such as yellow rock sugar, shredded ginger, tangerine peel, and plums placed in a small cup look particularly delicate.

This is the normal way to drink rice wine.

Huangjiu is not delicious whether it is chilled or at room temperature. You can only taste its flavor when it is warm. Moreover, even if you drink too much warm Huangjiu, you will not have a headache when you wake up the next day.

Lu Yao arrived a little earlier, Jian Xiaojie, Rong Nianqing and others had not arrived yet.

So Lu Yao started to make rice wine himself.

Lu Yao only added shredded ginger, plums and a little yellow rock sugar to the rice wine. He didn't like tangerine peel so he didn't add it. After about ten minutes, the rice wine was warmed up and Lu Yao took a sip.

The rice wine really changes a lot after heating.

The taste is soft and mellow, the aroma is particularly strong, and the layers of feeling in the mouth are very rich. Because of the addition of yellow rock sugar and plums, and Lu Yao himself likes sweet things, it tastes like an alcoholic beverage with a unique flavor.

Holding a wine cup, Lu Yao came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the warm room. The huge floor-to-ceiling window was like a huge picture frame, encompassing the lake view and night view of Shangnan in the distance, creating a beautiful and graceful scenery.

The higher you climb and the farther you look, the more beautiful the landscape becomes.

A man's desire for the world will become stronger.

It is a pity that this world is so beautiful but also so dangerous. If you are not careful, you will end up in pieces.

Lu Yao sighed for a while, then he heard the sound of high heels outside the warm room, and then Jian Xiaojie, wearing a fur coat, walked in first.

Jian Xiaojie came to the warm room and took a deep breath: "Hmm~ It smells good."

As she said that, she sat down, poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then praised: "Not bad, not bad."

Although something very bad might have happened, Jian Xiaojie was very shrewd and her face did not show any urgency of the situation.

A few minutes later, Rong Nianqing brought Gan Xiaoxi and Sister Wang to the warm room.

The originally spacious warm room suddenly became lively.

Gan Xiaoxi exclaimed: "Wow, you guys started drinking first."

She happily went over to pour herself a cup, tasted it and smacked her lips and said, "Not bad ~ Old Huang's winter brew is still authentic."

Lu Yao looked at Sister Wang, and still couldn't see anything from Sister Wang's face. He could only see that there seemed to be a hint of melancholy between her brows than before.

After Rong Nianqing hung up her coat, she sat down at the table in the warm room and looked at Lu Yao: "What are you doing by the window? Come and sit down."

Lu Yao sat next to Sister Wang and asked, "Tell me what's going on."

Gan Xiaoxi continued to joke: "Wow, wow, wow~ Our President Lu is really becoming more and more generous now, making us feel like we are working under him."

Rong Nianqing smiled and began to briefly describe the situation: "The higher-ups just held a meeting and divided up the tasks to be done in the future, but we don't really want to follow their lead."

Lu Yao guessed it, so he didn't seem too surprised.

Rong Nianqing looked at Lu Yao and didn't see any expression on Lu Yao's face, which was a bit strange: "You seem to have guessed it."

Lu Yao spread his hands and smiled: "That's the only way to put it."

Given the size of Rong Nianqing's family, as long as they are obedient, they will live a very good life. Once something happens that makes Rong Nianqing nervous, it must be that someone in her family wants to go against her.

In the domestic situation, although everyone is friendly most of the time, when personal interests are truly involved, there will definitely be confrontation.

Rong Nianqing also laughed and said, "Yeah, it's a bit troublesome."

"Now the authorities want to abandon the stock market and vigorously develop industries such as real estate and new automobiles, hoping to use this to create more income and do big things."

When Lu Yao was studying abroad in the future, he suffered a lot in this regard, so he knew very well how many dirty things were involved. However, Lu Yao was not very clear and understood why Rong Nianqing's family did not follow up.

Rong Nianqing was asked by Lu Yao, and she didn't intend to hide it: "We are all family members here, and I won't hide it from you. My family's main business is concentrated in finance, stock market, banking, investment and so on. Most of these businesses don't have much physical support."

"The higher-ups are trying to make a grand narrative now. The risks involved are too great for us. For our family, the slightest misstep could lead to an abyss."

In fact, Rong Nianqing understood why the elders in the family made such a decision.

Unlike China Resources, China Merchants and Poly, they are all supported by real industries. China Resources has a lot of assets in civilian infrastructure; China Merchants has commercial entities all over the country; and Poly is a major military product manufacturer.

Any of their families is more resilient to risks than Rong Nianqing's.

After listening to Rong Nianqing's words, Lu Yao understood that any business conducted with a grand narrative will inevitably turn from a carriage pulling the economy into a runaway wild horse in the end.

Because there will definitely be people with nepotism who come in and cause crazy confluence, and eventually turn a good company into a huge mine.

For example, Evergrande and Country Garden, once the world's top real estate developers.

It was revealed that Evergrande owed 2 trillion yuan in debt, and then it quickly went from bad to worse and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, but that was just a rumor.

Under the grand narrative, the real estate stock across the country has reached a huge level, so that the debts in various places have reached hundreds of trillions, and they have no choice but to use various methods to "redeem the debt".

Sometimes Lu Yao admires the domestic think tanks’ ability to create words.

Flexible employment, anti-growth, debt reduction...

Debts can either be defaulted on or repaid, how does it mean to dissolve them?
It was not until Lu Yao plunged into the A-share market that he understood that the so-called dissolution was to put the blame on others.

Stock market harvesting is actually a relatively gentle way.

The ones who are really miserable are those wealthy people who have accumulated a considerable fortune by starting from scratch. The local non-standard debts are packaged and delivered to you by them, and there are even big brothers who act as matchmakers to get you large bank loans.

But when you really get the thing started, you will find that what you are doing is a wasteland and it is impossible to get the money back.

At this time, the big brother who was looking for you has disappeared, but the bank's debt collection is like a demon that haunts you until all your assets are drained. Then, the things you worked so hard for are taken away by the bank and then bought by local companies at half price, waiting for the next victim.

When Lu Yao was studying abroad, he saw and heard that many bosses jumped off the buildings they had worked so hard to build after their projects were completed.

A person's life is nothing more than a sentence in the annual report: "Billions of non-performing assets have been successfully optimized."

In the future, in some places, when people are cutting leeks to make dumplings and chopping stuffing, they won’t even wipe the blood off the knife.

Rong Nianqing's family doesn't do this, not because they are noble, but mainly because they have relatively few physical assets. Once the situation goes wrong, she will have even less capital to support herself or even get out.

After Rong Nianqing explained these things clearly, Rong Nianqing said: "This is the current situation. My family is not cooperating, which means that everyone should keep a low profile for the next period of time."

Tonight, Rong Nianqing called Lu Yao, Jian Xiaojie and Gan Xiaoxi over, mainly to inform them of this matter.

Yes, purely for notification.

There is almost no room for negotiation on this matter.

Because Lu Yao is not even qualified to meet the person who can decide these things.

Although Lu Yao is not even qualified to meet the person who caused this situation, it does not prevent these things from affecting his personal business.

simplest.

Now he is fighting fiercely with Penguin, and even joined forces with Xiaomi Interactive Entertainment and ByteDance Penguin to impact Penguin's social system. Back then, Penguin did not hesitate to recruit people from other places in order to protect its own social product system. So what about this time?

Lu Yao looked at Rong Nianqing and expressed his concerns.

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. We are different from the local forces in Shangnan before. We will fight back this time but we won't go too far."

Lu Yao nodded after listening, thought for a while and asked: "Boss Rong, how many employees are there in Huasheng Life System now?"

Rong Nianqing said: "There are less than 10,000 direct employees, and there are more than 100 companies related to Huasheng Life, with more than 30,000 employees."

Lu Yao thought about it and felt that it was still too little.

He suggested: "Through this, I think you, Mr. Rong, have also seen that although finance is very profitable, the real estate industry is the key to success."

Rong Nianqing nodded and said, "I understand. I will continue to actively expand the scale of Huasheng Life's industry. You don't have to worry about this."

But Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Too slow."

Now, Lu Yao's experience of studying abroad in the future can no longer directly guide his current decision. He can only speculate based on many appearances and rumors that will happen in the future. This means that some bad things may happen even earlier than Lu Yao expected.

Therefore, Lu Yao also hopes that Rong Nianqing can respond as soon as possible.

Otherwise it will be too late to respond after the signs of trouble have become apparent.

So Lu Yao said: "Mr. Rong, let's prepare to build cars and mobile phones."

When Rong Nianqing heard what Lu Yao said, she frowned immediately. Even Jian Xiaojie, Gan Xiaoxi and Sister Wang looked at Lu Yao in surprise.

They didn't understand why Lu Yao made such a suggestion.

Rong Nianqing forced a smile in the silence of everyone: "Your suggestion is good. If we want to expand the entity, making cars and mobile phones is indeed a good idea, but the domestic market is so competitive, and these two industries involve a lot of things. Even if I want to do it, I need to provide a detailed research report to my family."

Lu Yao smiled and said, “These two things are not for sale domestically.”

what?
Do foreign trade?
Is this intended to compete with companies around the world?
Lu Yao continued: "To be more precise, we need to sell our products to Feilu."

It has always been a key cooperation area in the country, and the trade routes leading there will become more and more smooth in the future. However, due to poverty in Africa, the various infrastructures, modern equipment and tools there are very backward.

Lu Yao said: "The things there don't need to be particularly good, they just need to be cheap and useful."

In the future, the mobile phone with the highest market share in non-mainland China will not be Xiaomi, which has the highest domestic shipments, nor will it be the high-priced and low-spec mobile phones from Japan, nor will it be international brands such as Apple and Samsung.

It is a domestic mobile phone manufacturer called "Transsion", and one of the major shareholders of this mobile phone manufacturer is the financial institution of Rong Nianqing's family.

Transsion was founded in 2013. Its founder was the overseas sales director from Bird. After the collapse of Bird mobile phones, he began to target non-mainland markets.

Unlike domestic smartphones which have already started to take off, the main best-selling models outside the mainland are feature phones, which will be called senior phones by young people in the future.

If we now develop a batch of smartphones that are not highly configured but can outperform feature phones and enter non-mainland markets, this will be very promising.

Same goes for cars.

All cars produced domestically cannot be sold in Africa because the infrastructure there is too poor. This means that many domestic cars may not be able to drive on many roads there, and even if they can, they are very easy to break down.

Therefore, there is a huge market for small off-road vehicles that are durable and simple to manufacture, like those from the neighboring island country.

One of the largest markets...is the supply of military vehicles.

Feilu has always been in chaos. Durable off-road vehicles that can cross various terrains are not only loved by ordinary people, but also by the commanders of Feilu.

After Lu Yao spoke out many of his ideas, he began to talk about the key points: "What we do may not even make money. The main purpose is to 'make friends'. If we can become a VIP among the various non-mainland forces, then Mr. Rong, your status in the family will soar, and no matter who falls in the Rong family, you will not fall." Lu Yao said a lot, and for a long time.

And when he said these words, everyone was silent.

a long time.

Jian Xiaojie tilted her head and said, "You mean, you plan to develop in the direction of an international broker in the future?"

Lu Yao emphasized: "It is an international broker with one million employees in the country."

Rong Nianqing followed suit and smiled: "You are quite bold in thinking, but will it really work?"

Lu Yao said confidently: "It's useful."

In 2015, the Chinese people have still not established their national confidence, and the University of Tokyo is still the one that will verbally protest no matter what happens in the international arena.

But in the future, as the military strength of the University of Tokyo catches up, there will be more and more situations where we can go wherever the enemy goes. By that time, the University of Tokyo will begin to become rapidly active around the world.

If they can plan ahead and rely on Lu Yao's foresight into the future international situation, they will be able to gradually gain a foothold in the country.

In this way, even if the Rong family collapses in the country in the future, Rong Nianqing herself will not have too many problems.

When Rong Nianqing heard Lu Yao's confident answer, she also began to think deeply.

After a long pause, she said: "First, they use the entity to bleed themselves, and pretend to be willing to boost the domestic economic development. In fact, they are tying the job security of hundreds of thousands or even millions of residents to themselves by expanding the entity."

"Then we can seek cooperation abroad, earn foreign exchange and prepare for the future."

Although it is not known whether Lu Yao's layout for the international situation is accurate or useful, the fact that "millions of canal workers are dependent on one person" alone is enough for Rong Nianqing to do it.

The most important thing is that she can avoid the domestic involutionary market and cover the costs as much as possible.

So Rong Nianqing replied: "It's worth a try."

"I will hand over the research report to my family as soon as possible, and then implement what you said as soon as possible."

Lu Yao nodded.

As long as the entity becomes bigger, there are actually many financial tricks it can use, such as supply chain financing... Although Rong Nianqing's family does not need this method to help them raise funds to expand their scale, it is necessary to involve more suppliers and banks through this model and tie themselves to it.

At the same time, the statement made by the determined entity could also allow some people in the Heavenly Palace to temporarily suspend their targeting of Rong Nianqing's family.

In the second half of 2018, because the domestic real estate idleness is too high, Rongjia, which has been suppressed for almost three years, will be picked up again. Then in the second half of 2024, Rongjia, which has completed its mission, will lose its utilization value again.

But as long as Rong Nianqing follows the direction pointed out by Lu Yao, their fate may change.

As long as Rong Nianqing helps Lu Yao to block the wind and rain during this period, and when Lu Yao's AI+drone skills are perfected, he will truly have the ability to sit at the table and eat.

……

After chatting with Rong Nianqing and the others in the warm room, Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi left in a hurry.

On the way back, Lu Yao walked between Sister Wang and Jian Xiaojie.

Jian Xiaojie smiled as she walked, "International broker... you really dare to think of it. But this is indeed a way out. Being an international broker is indeed better than going into exile overseas."

Lu Yao accurately captured the key words.

At this moment, he seemed to have a more accurate understanding of Jian Xiaojie's identity.

But he asked nothing.

The most important thing at the moment is to make Rong Nianqing the future Di Zi. With 900,000 workers, his influence will be much greater than that of the Penguin.

The future international situation will also give them more opportunities.

Jian Xiaojie suddenly said, "By the way, I will be away for a while soon, don't miss me too much~"

Sister Wang suddenly became a little nervous: "Is it dangerous? How long will it take?"

Jian Xiaojie smiled and said, "It won't be too long. I don't think there will be any danger. Don't worry, I will be back before the people in the plot."

As she said that, she got into her Escalade, stepped on the accelerator and quickly disappeared from the sight of Lu Yao and Sister Wang.

Looking at the disappearing taillights, Lu Yao thought that it seemed that this group of people had an accident during this period? Unfortunately, Jian Xiaojie was too mysterious. Lu Yao didn't know what she did or where she was going.

So Lu Yao thought about it and sent a text message to Rong Nianqing, asking her to take better care of Jian Xiaojie.

Rong Nianqing replied immediately: "Don't worry."

……

After returning from Wanghu Garden, Lu Yao immediately started working to fight against the penguin attack.

After mobilizing all his connections and making strong guarantees, Zeng Lun, the person in charge of "Legend of the Brave", obtained a large amount of resources, and the platform and content business groups began to provide strong support.

Even the WeChat business group that was established just last year has begun to join the ranks of promoting "Legend of Brave".

At the beginning of 2015, WeChat already had a huge number of registered users, and had basically become a national-level social software.

With the fission dissemination in the circle of friends and the concentrated dissemination of official accounts, the user growth of "Legend of Brave" has become quite considerable.

For a time, the entire gaming community was discussing "Legend of Brave", a game that was plagiarized from "Shoot Them All". Even the operating model of "Shoot Them All" was copied by Penguin.

They also mobilized a considerable number of accounts to enter Toutiao and invested money in these accounts themselves, bringing them huge revenue.

This game competition also produced another "butterfly effect". Because Lu Yao joined hands with ByteDance and Xiaomi Interactive Entertainment to develop a similar "social + game" gameplay, Penguin began to spread the word that it would also develop a digital media platform with algorithm-driven traffic, tentatively named "Penguin Account".

Following Penguin’s efforts, the other two BAT companies also began to officially announce that they would invest in developing digital media platforms.

It is most likely the later Baidu account and Dayu account.

The three major Internet giants BAT jointly announced that they would quit, which made the atmosphere at ByteDance particularly heavy.

According to the original timeline, BAT was going to end next year. It was also next year that ByteDance was forced to launch three short video content platforms in one go, planning to open up another track.

This shows that ByteDance was in danger due to the encirclement of these three companies, so it created three short video content platforms at once and fought a desperate battle.

The final result, of course, is that ByteDance won.

But now BAT suddenly takes action six months in advance, and I don’t know if ByteDance can withstand it.

So Lu Yao immediately called Mr. Liang and had a voice call with him that lasted for an hour.

ByteDance is indeed under a lot of pressure, but it has also foreseen the current situation.

Mr. Liang said: "No one wants to compete head-on with Penguin when starting a business, but in China, Penguin is a huge mountain that they have to compete with when starting an Internet company. Without such determination, their company would not have achieved such a milestone success."

When Lu Yao heard this, he felt that it was very good and very inspiring.

They are worthy of being the Internet company that even Penguin couldn't do anything to them. In fact, they are far superior to many domestic Internet companies in size and function, so they are constantly targeted by the other side of the ocean.

Then Lu Yao also expressed his strong support for ByteDance. Whether it is funding, technology, or future content filling of the platform, he will support it without reservation.

After talking with Mr. Liang of ByteDance, Lu Yao worked in the company until nine o'clock before getting ready to leave work.

The reason why it's so late is because their New Year's Day limited edition unique mythical skin has finally been released!
This is the "Great Heat Set" among the twenty-four solar terms. Its design style adopts the "fire element" and its image is close to the mythological god of fire Zhurong. Combined with the latest light effect particles developed by the "Shoot Them" project team, the appearance of this skin is particularly eye-catching in the early 2015 period.

The person who got this skin is a small-time player in the game and a loyal user of the Neihan Duanzi platform.

The moment the suit dropped, Lu Yao notified Brother Wang to carry out strict protection of the player's data assets.

Then, this player who was good at making jokes jumped up excitedly the moment he got the equipment, and then posted a screenshot of the "unique limited edition mythical set" on the Duanhan Jokes platform.

Lu Yao was also busy. He immediately contacted ByteDance to push precise traffic to that user.

The equipment was dropped at around 7pm. At around 9pm, the content posted by that player instantly went viral. A large number of "She Le Ge She" players posted messages, and a large number of people from studios offered high prices in an attempt to acquire this skin.

This is the only mythical set in the first year of "Shoot It"!

The meaning alone is extraordinary.

The quoted price under the post increased from over 10,000 at the beginning to over 50,000 in just over an hour.

But that's just the beginning.

This set of mythical skins was specially designed by the Shelegeshe project team. They put the best special effects they currently have on it, and its combat effects are the coolest - because this set of skins is also the first skin in the game "Shelegeshe" with kill special effects and full copy broadcasts.

These things do not affect the game data, but they can satisfy the players' desire to show off to a great extent.

Sure enough, when this player posted the kill effects and broadcast effects produced by his game on his own connotation joke platform, this video joke quickly went viral.

In addition to hanging around to do the work, some wealthy guys have also begun to join the ranks of quoting.

The personal account of this player of the jokes gained a lot of followers in a short period of time, and the two pieces of content he posted quickly became popular.

But this player never sold the equipment, and he was not even worried that its value would drop.

Because each of the twenty-four mythical sets this time has a unique design.

The hype about this unique mythical skin of the year on the Neihan Duanzi platform has become so popular that it has broken the circle, and soon the news spread to other social media platforms like wings.

This news appeared on Toutiao, Station A, Station B, Weibo, and even WeChat and public accounts.

Seeing that the situation is so good, the "Shoot a Shot" project team has stepped up its efforts to promote and publicize it.

Chen Li even shouted out that he would follow the situation throughout the night, paid for some delicious food for everyone out of his own pocket, and even promised to share all his bonus this month with everyone.

If we can really defeat Penguin, it will be a golden sign in the industry!

Seeing that "Shoot Them" began to pick up, Chen Li's ambition was also ignited.

Of course, Lu Yao didn't want to go crazy with him, so as the big boss, he shouted in the office: "Stop making trouble, those who want to leave work early can leave, it's not right to live in the company."

But in such a heated atmosphere, few people were willing to go home with the big boss Lu Yao.

Lu Yaoting was speechless. When he put on his coat and went downstairs to get his car, a brand new Mercedes-Benz suddenly rang in the parking lot downstairs.

Hearing the noise, Lu Yao looked back and saw the door of the Mercedes-Benz opened. A tall woman wearing a long windbreaker got out of the car, looked at Lu Yao and smiled brightly: "Boss Lu——"

"long time no see."

In the backlight, Lu Yao couldn't see the figure opposite him, but he knew just by the voice that the person who got out of the brand new Mercedes-Benz was Boss Chen Xing.

But Boss Chen Xing at this time is completely different from before.

At this moment, she is wearing an expensive cashmere coat, exuding a strong aura of health, confidence and beauty.

She stood there, as if the severe winter in Shangnan had to retreat a little.
