Chapter 131 Chicken Braised
Lu Yao escaped.
It's not that he was afraid of Xu Ruochu's proposal.
But I was dissuaded by the price of Van Cleef & Arpels.
Because he really couldn't figure out how a simple platinum and diamond ring could be sold for more than 90,000 yuan.
But...not to mention, seeing someone propose to you on the spot is quite new.
Facing his escape, Xu Ruochu said nothing and even seemed a little absent-minded.
After walking around the mall for less than half a circle, Lu Yao was determined to leave.
There was no way...these rings were too expensive, ridiculously expensive. He was just here to perform, so there was no need for such luxury.
What's more, it's still spending money from a friend's sister.
It's really not necessary.
So, when facing Xu Ruochu, he treated Xu Ruochu with affection and reason, and finally made the other person understand what the rock style he wanted was.
To put it bluntly, he planned to go to the small commodity store in front of the school and buy a few skulls that looked very average, or some... accessories with a rebellious element.
When Xu Ruochu heard it, she seemed to think it made sense.
So, I stopped going to the mall and took him directly to get the leather shoes.
in the car.
Lu Yao took the initiative to mention YY.
"Sister Chu, have you read the article about YY that I sent you?"
"I've seen it."
Xu Ruochu, who was still a little absent-minded, nodded:
"The prospects seem very good. But... I'm still thinking about it. After all, in the financing letter of intent sent by Duowan to the investment company, their financing amount this time is not small. It will probably cost more than six yuan to split one share, and this The round of financing was for $100 million.”
"...100 million dollars?"
Lu Yao was shocked.
"Yes, in July this year, they just split 28 million common shares to Lei Jun. At the same time, there are other shareholders, and their equity dilution ratio has reached 1 to 490 shares. The financing has been Now that we have reached the C+ round, if I really enter the market... I am evaluating whether I can make enough profits.”
Lu Yao didn't particularly understand the extent of this 1:490 equity dilution.
But...
He thought for a while and said:
"What if they go public?"
"They will definitely go public, otherwise they would not raise such a high financing amount in the C+ round. But their advantages..."
Speaking of this, Xu Ruochu shook his head slightly:
“It’s not particularly clear.”
"I think there are three advantages."
Seeing that she was conservative, Lu Yao said:
"First, each game has its own game communication system, but it is not common with each other, making it troublesome for players to switch. What YY happens to be is a communication platform that connects various games."
Xu Ruochu was stunned.
Nod:
"Well, what about the second point?"
"The second point is that it does not develop games itself and has no competitive relationship with other game manufacturers. This allows YY to achieve better access and adaptation to the products of various game manufacturers."
"Well..."
Xu Ruochu's eyes narrowed.
Looking at Lu Yao, his expression became more serious:
"The third point?"
“It doesn’t freeze, drop, or delay, and the user experience is very reliable. At the same time, it’s free, which is completely different from high-quality channels like UT and IS, which charge fees, which further expands its differentiation from those paid channels. Advantages among competing products. And... Sister Chu, have you ever used this software?”
"I have used it before. After reading your recommendation, I went to try it out. But... maybe it is a matter of usage habits. When communicating with foreign customers, SKYPE is still the first choice."
"It is not the same thing as SKYPE. I mean, Sister Chu, have you ever paid attention to its potential in virtual currency?"
"That YY coin, right?"
"Yes."
"I see that this is the most important aspect of your plan."
"Yes, through observation, I think its ability to attract money is actually terrifying. Just like game recharge, it may not bring you any actual benefits, but... it is more like a dopamine stimulus A sense of spiritual satisfaction.”
"...I have seen Xiaochen play this. Has he recharged it?"
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
I wonder if I should sell this teammate or not?
Seeing his weird expression, Xu Ruochu seemed to understand something, and suddenly smiled and nodded:
"I understand. In short, you are very optimistic about it? Really? Just like DJI?"
"...Yes."
“Have you paid attention to DJI recently?”
"No. What happened to them?"
"You didn't pay attention?"
Hearing Lu Yao's answer, Xu Ruochu was a little surprised:
"Isn't that a project that you are very optimistic about? You didn't pay attention to it?"
"I'm...very busy."
"...ha~"
Xu Ruochu chuckled lightly and said:
"It turns out that, if nothing else, you have a very good vision regarding this investment in DJI. The product they launched has received very good market feedback and has already begun iterations. Moreover, they have also begun planning a drone production line. . The current performance has been growing steadily.”
Xiao Min, who was driving in front, was a little surprised.
That company that was rated as having A+ potential internally by the company was promoted by Lu Yao?
"DJI is a long-term investment, but I think if YY can enter the market, the rate of return should be very impressive within three to five years."
"Um...is that so?"
Xu Ruochu nodded thoughtfully:
"Okay, I'll think about it. What about the other one? You and... you came up with the taxi map navigation thing. What do you think of it?"
"That?... I think that is a rigid need in the future. Just like YY, it will definitely have many competing products in the future, but so far, as long as it is fast enough and can seize a market, then it can be considered as a mid-line investment .”
Hearing Lu Yao's words, for some reason, Xu Ruochu, who had been looking at him, had a smile on his face again:
"So confident?... You always seem to be full of confidence in what you think is right. Didn't she say she wanted to invest in you? Why don't you do it yourself?"
"..."
Lu Yao was speechless for a while.
What can I say?
Can I say that we discussed it and both found it troublesome, and finally passed it on to you?
After thinking about it, I had to say:
"After all, I'm still a student. And... I don't have that much energy."
"Then what do you usually do? I heard from Xiaochen that you sit in front of the computer every day... What are you busy with?"
"The architecture model of a radio frequency chip. Do you understand, Sister Chu?"
"..."
Obviously, this question overturned Xu Ruochu's knowledge blind spot.
It's strange that she understands.
At this time, Xu Ruochu's phone rang again.
After taking a look, she answered the phone:
"Hey, Aunt Bai."
Aunt Bai?
Lu Yao subconsciously thought of the art exhibition.
"Huh? At night?"
She instinctively looked at the time on her watch, seemingly hesitant.
But in the end he said:
"Okay, I understand. What time is it tonight?"
"Yeah, okay. See you later."
The phone hung up, and just as Xu Ruochu was about to speak, another call came in.
"Hey, Dad, what's the matter?"
"...who?"
"Du Xun...I don't remember much, what's wrong?"
"...Aunt Bai just called me."
"...What?"
"...Huh?"
"Dad, I..."
"I don't even remember him."
"...Then why did you agree?"
"...I..."
For some reason, Lu Yao felt that she seemed a little speechless.
But in the end, she said:
"Okay, I get it..."
The tone was full of helplessness.
"Didn't you agree not to force me?"
"...Aunt Bai and you are going to kill first and then show off!"
"... Got it."
After hanging up the phone, she seemed a little helpless and leaned directly on the seat.
The interest in talking just now was gone.
"...Sister Chu, what's wrong?"
Hearing Lu Yao's words, Xu Ruochu subconsciously opened his eyes and saw his concerned gaze.
Lips move slightly.
But in the end he shook his head:
"It's okay."
……
At early six o'clock, Lu Yao returned home with a few shopping bags in his hand.
The exquisite shopping bag was in sharp contrast to the three cheap-looking skull rings on his hand.
A little hungry, he walked directly into the kitchen, planning to cook some noodles for dinner.
While he was looking for instant noodles, his phone dinged.
After taking a look, I found that it was from Shen Wan.
"Brother Lu, have you eaten?"
This is the first time she has sent a message recently.
Lu Yao replied:
"No, I'm about to eat, what's wrong?"
"I just finished working out and I'm a little hungry. Brother Lu, I know a very delicious chicken pot, shall we try it? The address is..."
She also typed out the address.
“Chicken in a clay pot?”
"Yes, didn't Brother Lu say he likes spicy food? His family... I think it's quite spicy. It's Chongqing cuisine."
Spicy dishes...
To be honest, Lu Yao was a little moved.
But whether the chicken stew is a Chongqing dish... This is open to question.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, a call came in.
He thought it was Shen Wan, but he didn't expect... Looking at the words "Hu Dabao", Lu Yao quickly connected:
"Hey. Are you awake?"
"Hmm...hehe. I was woken up by Xiaochu. Did you two meet in the afternoon?"
Hu Li's voice was soft and soft.
"Yes, I went to get a suit to use as a performance costume, and I came across it by chance."
"Hehe, she is free enough, no wonder she was arranged to go on a blind date."
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned:
"Blind date?"
"Yes, she called me just now and asked me if I knew the person she was having dinner with tonight. I was still wondering...it turned out to be a blind date, hehehehe."
"Uh..."
Lu Yaoxin thought it was no wonder, she looked so helpless.
Couldn't help but laugh:
"I didn't expect that the first sister would also be arranged on a blind date."
"What's weird? She doesn't have a boyfriend as good as my baby."
"Keep talking, I like to listen."
"Hey hey hey~...Baby, what are you doing? It should be five or six o'clock in China right now, right?" "I'm planning to eat."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Instant noodles."
"...Huh?"
Hu Li was speechless on the other end of the phone:
"Instant noodles? Where are you? School or home?"
"Home."
"Where are uncle and aunt?"
"Drink Wangzai milk and go on a trip."
"Hehehe~hahahaha..."
Obviously, she was amused by Lu Yao's joke.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"My baby is so pitiful...Boo boo, kiss you~"
"Stop doing this... If you really miss me, you must come back quickly."
"Hey...miss me?"
There was an extra layer of husky charm in her voice.
"Yeah."
"I miss you too, but it's not Christmas yet... Oh yes, baby, I remembered something. Mom said she wanted to spend Christmas in France this year."
"...France?"
"Yes, she bought a new winery this year, and she wants to go there. I was just thinking...isn't your sister also in France? Do you want me to go check on her for you?"
"Well..."
Not to mention, Lu Yao was really moved.
The reason is very simple. Lu Qing will definitely not be able to come back for the New Year this year. Moreover, the two have had almost no communication in the past six months.
Although the siblings cannot always communicate every day, in the limited chat, her reply was almost the same:
"What's wrong? I just came back from work."
"What's the matter? I just came back from the language school."
"I still have to go to work, please tell me quickly."
"It's okay, I'm going to work."
These are the words that go back and forth.
And... in the weekly emails she sent to her mother, the photos were all of schools and dormitories, not even the beach or some cultural buildings.
My mother was also worried, fearing that her daughter would not be well fed or clothed, but Lu Qing always reported good news but not bad news.
So much so...that the whole family doesn't know her real situation now.
So, he said:
"Do you have time?"
"Yes, I'm going there in the afternoon. Where is your sister from? Nice?"
"Yes."
"There is an airport over there, I can just go there."
"...Okay, then shall I give you her contact information?"
"Well, okay. It's Christmas after all, and she's all alone. If possible, I'll invite her to my place to spend Christmas."
"I guess it's difficult. She said she found a job in a supermarket and seemed to get overtime pay on Christmas."
"Huh? It's so painful... I'll go take a look first. Then I can tell you the specific situation. How about it?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"Hehe..."
After the two chatted for a while, Lu Yao hung up the phone and sent her Lu Qing's contact information.
Also leave a message to Lu Qing:
"Sister Li is spending Christmas in France this year and said she wanted to see you. I gave her your contact information. See the reply."
Lu Qing obviously didn't reply.
But Shen Wan called.
"Brother Lu, were you calling your girlfriend just now?"
That's what she said when she came up.
Lu Yao's mouth twitched...
"Did you call me?"
"Yes, I see you haven't replied for a long time...Brother Lu, has she not come back yet?"
"..."
"Then let me accompany Brother Lu, okay? And I'm so hungry..."
Her tone was pitiful.
Unfortunately, Lu Yao still refused:
"Farewell, my food is ready. And I have to go back to school soon. You can eat by yourself. How about I eat with you next time?"
"That's...ok."
She didn't force it anymore.
Just when Lu Yao finished eating the noodles, he sent a photo:
“Brother Lu, look at it, it’s delicious!”
Lu Yao clicked on the photo...not to mention, indeed, looking at the appearance makes people appetite.
However, he was already full.
So I replied to the text message with "Yeah, it looks delicious." and then didn't reply.
Who knows...
At around 7 o'clock, almost 8 o'clock, she called again.
Lu Yao frowned slightly.
After thinking about it, I still answered the phone:
"Hello."
"Hey, Brother Lu, I'm at the gate of your school. Hehe, I packed a portion for you. It's still hot. Come out quickly. Otherwise, you'll be cold."
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned.
"Where are you?"
"It's in front of your school. I've been sitting in the car for a long time, and I'm afraid it will get cold, so I keep it wrapped in a down jacket. Come out quickly, or it will get cold."
"..."
……
When it was almost 9 o'clock, Lu Yao handed the money to the taxi driver and walked directly into the milk tea shop.
It took him an hour to walk here from home.
No way, there's a traffic jam.
Then, he saw the girl drinking milk tea at a glance.
Seeing him coming, the girl's eyes lit up completely.
There is no trace of impatience in waiting.
He waved excitedly at him.
And today she seemed to be wearing no makeup either... and she seemed to be wearing light makeup.
In short... without that layer of charming and enchanting aura, the natural appearance is reflected.
And...she seemed to be wearing very thick clothes. When she stood up, she was wearing a fleece jacket that showed off her figure, and a pair of jeans that were very suitable for winter.
Inexplicably, Lu Yao felt a little regretful.
I think black stockings suit her better.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? I was just about to leave, but who knew you would come here."
He had no intention of coming to school at all and could only find this excuse.
"It's okay, Brother Lu, please wait."
She quickly stood up and walked to the bar.
"Handsome guy, please excuse me."
"..."
The handsome guy selling milk tea smiled a little forcedly and took out a large takeout box from the counter.
"Brother Lu, here, I asked that handsome guy to fill the hot water with a milk tea cup and cover it all around and on top... Touch it, it's not cold yet."
"..."
To be honest, when Lu Yao's fingers touched the takeout box and felt the warmth inside, he was really moved.
Because... that Chicken Pot is really far away from Fuhua, almost half of the city.
"Okay, I'll try it. But I've finished eating it at home..."
Lu Yao opened the box, pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. Feeling the spiciness, he nodded:
"It's good."
"Hehe, right? Do you want some rice? I'll buy it for you?"
"Don't..."
Lu Yao quickly stopped her, and after picking up a few more pieces, he closed the box:
"I took the rest back to the dormitory for midnight snack."
This tastes really good.
"Yeah."
The girl smiled and nodded, then handed over a cup of milk tea:
"Brother Lu, when does your school close?"
"..."
Lu Yao thought for a while and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Have you seen "If You Are the One 2"? Here's the new movie that just came out."
Lu Yao was stunned.
Then the light in his eyes flickered and he shook his head.
"No!"
The girl's eyes lit up instantly and turned into an emotion of anticipation:
"If we have time...Brother Lu, let's go watch a movie?"
Lu Yao looked at the girl's shining eyes and subconsciously glanced at the chicken pot in front of him. The trace of warmth at the fingertips still remained.
"...Well, okay."
moment.
The joy on her lips could no longer be suppressed.
Seeing this, Lu Yao didn't say anything. He looked at the time, stood up and said:
"Then let's go? Put this back in the dormitory first."
"Okay!"
She stood up very quickly, as if she was afraid that Lu Yao would return.
But he didn't make any move with Lu Yao. He just followed Lu Yao out under the slightly sad eyes of the milk tea guy.
At the school gate, she took the initiative and said:
"I'll just wait for Brother Lu here. I won't go in."
"...Don't want to go in? It's not far away. I have an electric car."
But after Shen Wan heard this, she shook her head:
"Didn't that sister come to school before? I'm afraid of bringing trouble to Brother Lu. Just wait here. Brother Lu, go quickly, I'll wait for you."
"This... okay, then you wait for me."
Lu Yao walked in quickly.
The girl looked at his back, the smile and surprise on her face could no longer be suppressed.
There is also a little bit of obsession mixed in by the way.
Soon, the road went away and came back again.
As for the chicken pot...it was shared by the two brothers Liu and Yu who were bitter.
Especially when I heard that Lu Yao thought it was delicious and specially brought a portion for the two of them, I was so surprised that I didn't recognize him as my adoptive father on the spot.
After coming out, Lu Yao stopped a car.
After getting in the car, the girl hugged his arm and whispered softly in his ear in the night:
"Brother Lu, I miss you so much."
