Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 261 How much money can you make from this?

Zhang Nong's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue. Although the sound was not loud, it exploded directly in the living room.

When He Huirong heard the word "suspended school", her breathing stopped for a few seconds. After her head was dazed, she could only hear the sound of her heartbeat beating violently.

Fortunately, she cared more about Zhang Nong's emotions and feelings. She clenched her hands silently on her knees, her nails almost clenching into her worn-out cotton pants. She endured the panic and confusion in her heart and took a few deep breaths.

"Nongnong, please tell me first, what happened?"

By this time, the call had been connected.

Zhang Nong had obviously communicated this matter with counselor Wu Zhiguo in advance. Wu Zhiguo on the other end of the phone did not immediately interrupt after hearing Zhang Nong's mother's voice, but listened quietly.

Communication between mother and child.

"That's it." Zhang Nong's face was calm, his tone was calm and steady, and he used calm power to calm He Huirong and grandma's emotions, and said, "When the school started, the school provided students with part-time jobs, including a food delivery job.

If you work hard for a month, you can probably earn one or two thousand."

"You know, I study well. It's not difficult to get a part-time job, and it doesn't delay my classes, so I did it for a month."

"During this period, my roommate Xu Xing asked me to pay more attention to the takeout market near the school, saying that I could make money."

"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but I heard that there was money to be made, so I made some records until October."

"Then Xu Xing approached a few of our roommates, and after learning about the situation near the school, he founded a company called 'Eme Takeout', which specializes in online takeout ordering and delivery services."

When he said this, Zhang Nong saw that He Huirong's face was a little confused and confused, so he explained thoughtfully: "Actually, I just use my mobile phone to order takeout."

"In the past, each store's takeout service was independent. We needed to know the store's phone number, call to order food, and then report the address."

“But we have specially made a mobile phone software. As long as you download this software on your mobile phone, you can directly find any restaurant that cooperates with our platform, order food directly on it, and then have our company’s delivery staff deliver it.

past."

Zhang Nong's explanation was so detailed that He Huirong, a middle-aged woman who rarely used smartphones, barely understood the function of this thing.

After explaining this, Zhang Nong continued: "Since October, our takeout platform has expanded from being able to deliver takeout only in Min Da to covering the entire university market in Shanghai."

“Now students who are studying in universities in Shanghai use our software to order takeout.”

"Xu Xing is the boss of the company, but he is mainly responsible for providing funds and development direction. I am responsible for the specific implementation and leadership of the team."

"Originally, we only dealt with the local university market in Shanghai. At that time, I could still take care of my studies and complete my work tasks at the same time."

"But starting from next semester, we will begin to enter the market in other fields and other cities. If we distract ourselves from studying at this time, we may not be able to take care of both ends."

"So I plan to take a break from school."

After saying this in one breath, all the courage Zhang Nong had worked hard to accumulate from getting on the high-speed train to returning home was almost completely exhausted.

He is a very obedient child. If He Huirong really strongly opposes his suspension of school, Zhang Nong may have to step down from his current leadership position at Eat.me and focus only on consolidating the university market.

Xu Xing will have to find new people to implement the next development plan.

If possible, Zhang Nong would naturally work hard to convince his mother to support his decision.

"I understand." He Huirong's face showed no inclination. She just pointed at the mobile phone in Zhang Nong's hand and asked, "Who are you calling? Is it your roommate?"

"No." Zhang Nong shook his head, "It's our counselor, Mr. Wu Zhiguo, who is also the instructor of our startup company at the school. The school also gave us a lot of help in the beginning."

Hearing that it was a teacher, He Huirong quickly said: "Teacher Wu, hello, hello, I'm really bothering you and keeping you waiting for so long."

"It doesn't matter. He has discussed Zhang Nong's situation with me in detail before." After Zhang Nong turned on the speakerphone, Wu Zhiguo's voice echoed clearly in the living room, "If Zhang Nong's mother has any questions, I can handle them."

Answer as soon as possible.”

He Huirong hesitated for a moment.

Originally, when Zhang Nong said he wanted to drop out of school, she thought it was because Zhang Nong had suffered unfair treatment in school or was under too much pressure.

After listening to it, it turned out to be completely different.

But she has never opened a company, let alone an Internet company like this, which is completely a distant mirage to her.

But He Huirong still used her simplest thoughts to ask the questions she was most concerned about: "If Nong Nong drops out of school, will he not be able to get a diploma from Min University?"

"That's not the case," Wu Zhiguo explained. "Suspension of study is different from dropping out. It's just a temporary suspension of schooling. When the time comes, Zhang Nong can apply to come back and continue schooling. After successful graduation, he can get a diploma."

"Then...is that company reliable?" He Huirong asked worriedly, "I don't doubt that classmate named Xu Xing, but they are still freshmen. I heard them talk about starting a business, a company, etc., right?

Is it very risky?"

"Well... if you are an ordinary student, the risk is indeed quite high." Wu Zhiguo said thoughtfully on the other end of the phone, "The students at Min University are all very good, but generally speaking, during the freshman and sophomore years,

, it is better to go to school normally."

"However, there are always some people in this world who are different. They can always exceed everyone's expectations and show inhuman talents."

At this point, Wu Zhiguo paused and then laughed: "You may think that I am exaggerating, but it is indeed the case. That classmate named Xu Xing has a strong sense of smell in terms of Internet commercialization."

"If we don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the food delivery platform. What Zhang Nong didn't tell you just now is that just last month, Xu Xing successfully completed financing and received US$15 million in funding."

"You heard that right, it's 15 million U.S. dollars."

"This number, even among startups around the world, is the top scale of Series A financing."

"So I can understand Zhang Nong's thoughts."

"After all, we came to Min University to study so that we can find high-quality jobs after graduation."

"Now, if Zhang Nong can persevere in the start-up period, once EatMe Takeaway grows in the future, Zhang Nong's current position will be the position that most Min University students dream of."

"Under such circumstances, I can understand why Zhang Nong chose to take a break from school."

Wu Zhiguo said a lot, but He Huirong actually didn't hear much of the rest.

When she heard the number "15 million", her mind was froze, and she sat there blankly, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

When Zhang Nong explained to He Huirong earlier, although He Huirong also heard that their company is quite powerful and can cover all the university markets in Shanghai, it sounds very capable.

But these descriptions are obviously far less direct and shocking than the intuitive number "15 million".

She rubbed her knees nervously with her palms. When faced with this number, she suddenly felt at a loss and couldn't accept the situation for a while.

Her monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan. If she wants to earn 15 million, even if it is not US dollars but RMB, it will take hundreds of years!

Thinking of this, her breathing quickened and her body felt swaying.

Fortunately, she still had sense and knew that the money was not Zhang Nong's, but that of a classmate named Xu Xing.

But since Zhang Nong is now Xu Xing's most trusted employee, even if he leaks just a little bit from 15 million, it will be a huge sum of money for their family.

"Suspension of school is quite serious. Today we will understand the situation first, so Zhang Nong's mother doesn't have to make a decision in a hurry." After Wu Zhiguo completed the situation for Zhang Nong, he did not let He Huirong make a decision on the spot. He just said, "

There is still some time before the start of the next semester, so you can think about it slowly before the start of school in March."

After hanging up the phone, the living room fell into silence.

He Huirong thought about the feasibility of suspending school, while Zhang Nong looked at his mother with a slightly worried look.

At this time, grandma, who had been sitting quietly and listening, finally couldn't help but asked with the simplest and most simple thoughts: "How much money can Nongnong make if he takes a leave of absence from school to do this?"

Yes, that's right.

In the final analysis, the 15 million is just other people's money, no matter how powerful it is, it has nothing to do with Zhang Nong.

Only money that can actually be put into your own pocket is the most secure thing.

The future of any company or the potential of a position are not as good as the money you can get.

Zhang Nong felt a little more relaxed when his grandma asked this question. He stood up from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, came back with his schoolbag, and put the schoolbag on the coffee table.

Both He Huirong and grandma's eyes fell on the schoolbag, and they didn't understand what Zhang Nong meant for a moment.

But soon, Zhang Nong opened the zipper of his schoolbag and put his hand in.

The next second, a stack of hundred-dollar bills tied with a rubber band was taken out. It was almost as thick as a hundred bills, which was a full ten thousand yuan.

Putting the ten thousand yuan on the coffee table, Zhang Nong continued to reach into his schoolbag, took out another ten thousand yuan, and placed it next to the ten thousand yuan just now.

Just like this, one bundle after another, when Zhang Nong placed the eighth bundle of 10,000 yuan in a row on the coffee table, both He Huirong and grandma were speechless.

"These are the wages I have saved in the past few months." Zhang Nongzhen said, "But it also includes a lot of commissions, performance and bonuses. The pure salary is now 8,000 a month."

After Zhang Nong gradually showed his abilities, Xu Xing was actually not stingy about raising his salary. After all, Zhang Nong was also equivalent to the top leader of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

But Zhang Nong himself felt that 8,000 was enough.

Especially for the internal team of Eat.me, after leading the team to promote and complete tasks and performance, there will be corresponding rewards and commissions.

Especially when it comes to market expansion, Zhang Nong is both the leader and the first executor. He is always at the forefront supervising the battle, and even often goes to negotiate with various merchants in person.

If bonuses are included, he must have an income of at least more than 20,000 yuan a month.

"You...I remember you just said that it only started in October?" He Huirong looked at the eighty thousand yuan on the coffee table, her tone trembling slightly.

"Well, yes."

…

February 9th, New Year’s Eve.

Early in the morning, Xu Xing was woken up by Xu Niannian.

"Xu Xing! Get up!"

He felt a heavy pressure on his stomach. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw Xu Niannian sitting on him, holding his face with both hands, shaking him from side to side, "Get up, get up! Get up!

Look out the window!”

"...I can't get up even if you sit on me like this." Xu Xing complained speechlessly, "And what time is it now?"

He glanced at the beginning of light outside. It looked like it was probably around six o'clock, and the sun hadn't fully come out yet.

Even though it was the Chinese New Year, he still couldn't satisfy his desire to sleep in.

"Then get up." Xu Niannian jumped off him, patted his butt and walked to the window, waving to him.

Xu Xing yawned and sat up from the bed, reluctantly moved to the side near the window, straightened his neck and looked outside.

All white.

The whole world seemed to be quiet, wrapped in silver, and the sky and the earth were the same color.

When Xu Xing saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment: "It snowed heavily last night?"

"It should be so." Xu Niannian said, looking out the window at the snowy scene that he couldn't get enough of. "It feels like there's already a lot of snow accumulated. Let's go play in the snow together after breakfast."

"I still want to sleep more." Xu Xing honestly expressed his feelings.

"Then shall I sleep with you?" Xu Niannian looked at him sideways, "I promise you will get enough sleep soon."

Xu Xing: "..."

"It rarely snows, so it would be a pity not to build a snowman." Xu Xing quickly got out of bed, changed his clothes, opened the bedroom door and walked out, and ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

In the bedroom, Xu Niannian stood by the window, watching Xu Xing's embarrassed figure slipping away. He turned back and looked at the white world outside the window. He couldn't help curling his lips and muttering in a low voice: "Coward."

In the bathroom, Xu Xing asked while brushing his teeth: "Where is Suisui? Aren't we together?"

"Still asleep."

Just as Xu Niannian was saying this, Xu Suisui's bedroom door suddenly opened. Xu Suisui poked his head out, and happened to see Xu Xing who was washing up in the bathroom diagonally opposite.

So she quickly shouted: "Brother Xu Xing! Let's go play in the snow!"

Xu Niannian: "..."

"Then you get up quickly and have breakfast later." Xu Xing said to her after washing up, then took out his mobile phone and found Li Zhibin's number. Adhering to the idea that having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone, at six in the morning

At 1 o'clock, I called him.

Toot toot, toot toot.

It took about half a minute before the call was connected.

"...Hello?" Li Zhibin's feeble voice came from the other end, "What's the matter with you? You're calling me so early in the morning."

"Don't fall asleep and get up! Come have a snowball fight with me!"

Li Zhibin: "...Do you know what time it is?"

"The day's plan begins in the morning."

"...Thank you so much for reminding me."
