Chapter 234 Eat More
After coming out of Qin Shaoyan’s office, Liu Mingzu felt both excited and heavy.
The exciting thing is that Qin Shaoyan is very optimistic about the prospects of his website, which shows that he made the right choice and there is a lot of potential in this road.
The heavy thing is that this road to wealth is not that easy, and there are still many difficulties to be solved.
But Liu Mingzu quickly cheered up. If things were simple and smooth, then this road would not be a way to make a fortune.
In any case, he has found the right method from Qin Shaoyan.
Seeing a golden avenue appear in front of us, we must fight for it no matter how difficult it is.
Liu Mingzu sat in his sports car and began to weigh things in his mind.
My main problem now is how to get the first investment, build the website, and attract more users.
The venture capital side is out of business in the short term, and Qin Shaoyan also said directly that he would not get ahead of the venture capital side.
Then Liu Mingzu's only choice now is to go to his father to ask for money.
His father does have several coal mines and a lot of money.
But Liu Mingzu was not his father’s only son, and he was also an illegitimate son.
In other words, the past, present or future of those coal mines have nothing to do with him.
Liu Mingzu's life experience is not complicated. His cheap father Liu Yuanrui met his unworldly mother when he went to the countryside, and the two of them made a private decision to have Liu Mingzu for life.
However, the romantic relationship between the two soon ended. With the trend of educated youth returning home, the very common scenario of abandoning wives and children was enacted.
Liu Mingzu's cheap father quickly returned to the city, and then quickly fell in love with Bai Fumei, leaving their mother and son behind.
As a gust of spring breeze blew, Liu Yuanrui, a smart man, seized this opportunity and started a business using the connections left by his father and the money from his father-in-law's family.
Liu Yuanrui used government relations to act as a middleman. He is responsible for contacting some coal mines, sending high-quality coal to coal washing plants, processing it to remove impurities, and then selling it to the next owner.
That was the source of the first pot of gold for most people in that era. They wandered in the gray area and made profits by taking advantage of the price difference between planned goods and unplanned goods.
After grabbing a large amount of cash, Liu Yuanrui bought several coal mines, and based on this, his business began to take off.
After having money, Liu Yuanrui finally remembered in his free time that he had a son in the countryside, so he sent someone to find their mother and son, brought them into the city, and bought a house to settle down.
After that, Liu Yuanrui didn't care too much except giving them a living allowance regularly and sending Liu Mingzu to school.
After all, in addition to his wife, Liu Yuanrui also has two lovers to take care of, so how can he have so much time to think about their mother and son.
In this way, Liu Mingzu grew up with almost no father.
Fortunately, he is quite smart, willing to work hard, and his academic performance is not bad, so he was admitted to a university in the capital.
After receiving the university admission notice, Liu Yuanrui finally remembered that he had a son.
After all, Liu Mingzu is the first college student in the Liu family, and he can be regarded as a proud ancestor.
Faced with such a promising son, Liu Yuanrui was so elated that he not only rewarded Liu Mingzu with 500,000 yuan, but also helped him buy a house in the capital as a reward.
This money became Liu Mingzu’s first pot of gold. With this money, he had his own website.
It seems that eating old food is the easiest and best option.
However, Liu Mingzu knew that this was different from Liu Yuanrui taking the initiative to give him money. He went to him to ask for money and the amount was not small. It was hard to say whether the other party could give it to him.
Liu Yuanrui was indeed rich. Liu Mingzu couldn't tell how much weight his cheap son held in his heart.
If he didn’t go to Liu Yuanrui for money, it would be difficult for Liu Mingzu to collect so much money by himself.
Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, Liu Mingzu cannot give up. After all, no matter how rich Liu Yuanrui is, once he dies, the money will have nothing to do with him.
If you don't get some gold coins while the old guy is still alive, you will regret it later.
After making up his mind, Liu Mingzu simply drove around and bought some gifts, and then went straight to the airport.
I bought a ticket to Taiyuan that day, and then took the bus back to my hometown.
It was already midnight when he arrived home, and Liu Mingzu went directly back to his home.
Liang Qiaolan, Liu Mingzu’s mother, was overjoyed when she saw her son coming back. She hurriedly pulled him into the house, patted the ashes on his body and asked, "Why did he come back so suddenly?"
"I'm homesick." Liu Mingzu chuckled.
“I don’t believe it.” Liang Qiaolan rolled her eyes at him, and then asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat.”
“No need, Mom, I’ll eat on the way. Passed." Liu Mingzu picked out a few items from the gifts and put them on the table, "These are for you."
"I don't need these things, why did you buy them?" Liang Qiaolan said angrily. "There is nothing missing at home."
"Your son is the big boss now, so he doesn't need this little money." Liu Mingzu said casually.
"If you have money, spend it frivolously." Liang Qiaolan stretched out her finger and touched Liu Mingzu's forehead, "You used to be very economical, but now you learned it from someone."
Liu Mingzu smiled and said nothing.
"What are you doing here this time?" Liang Qiaolan asked.
“It’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing. Why did you come back?” Liang Qiaolan couldn’t believe it. “It’s not the Chinese New Year yet. You are usually so busy, and you suddenly came back.”
Liu Mingzu no longer concealed anything and said directly, "I have something to go to see Liu Yuanrui tomorrow."
"What are you doing there?" Liang Qiaolan frowned.
“Ask him for money.” Liu Mingzu said confidently, “He is my father. If you don’t ask him for money, who can you ask for money from?”
“What money do you want?” Liang Qiaolan His face turned pale, "That woman is still at home. Can she give you a good look when you come to your door?"
"Listen to me, we can't compete with them, and let's not provoke them."
"Mom." Liu Mingzu hesitated.
Liang Qiaolan continued to ask, "You need money, tell your mother?"
As she spoke, Liang Qiaolan got up and went back to the bedroom. After a while, she came out with her bankbook, "Here are these, mother." If you need money, just take it."
Liu Mingzu looked at the bankbook and fell silent. It was what his mother had saved little by little over the years. For him to get a wife.
"Mom, take this money back." Liu Mingzu pushed the bankbook back, "Liu Yuanrui is also my father, so he can't keep everything."
"He just gives me some money, which is enough for me. When I get rich, I will take you to live in the capital. Let's leave this place and never come back."
Liang Qiaolan looked at it happily. He looked at Liu Mingzu and touched his head, "Silly boy, this is our home, where can we go if we don't go back here."
......
Liu Mingzu got up early in the morning and carried his things. Just out the door.
Take a taxi and stop in front of a two-story villa. After getting out of the car, Liu Mingzu looked up at the house number. After confirming that it was his father's house, he stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.
The nanny who was cleaning the yard glanced at him and then went back to inform the owner.
After a few minutes, the closed iron door was opened, and Liu Mingzu walked in carrying the gift.
After entering the luxurious villa, the nanny took him all the way into the restaurant.
My cheap dad is sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, holding a newspaper in his hand, reading it while eating.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was covered in jewels and luxuries. She looked very ugly when she saw Liu Mingzu coming in.
"Dad." Liu Mingzu immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, then looked at the middle-aged woman and greeted politely, "Hello, Aunt Li." Liu Yuanrui's first wife said "hum" through her nose and rolled her eyes. Then he got up and left, passing Liu Mingzu without even looking at him.
Faced with the performance of the principal wife, Liu Mingzu kept smiling from beginning to end, without showing any displeasure.
He has seen too many supercilious looks since he was a child, and he doesn't care about it. The only way he can gain a foothold in the capital is to be observant and able to bend and stretch.
At this time, only the awkward father and son were left in the restaurant. Liu Yuanrui raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said casually: "Sit down."
"Thank you, dad." Liu Mingzu put down the gift and sat down next to Liu Yuanrui.
“Have you eaten?”
“Not yet.” Liu Mingzu said quickly, “I’ll eat some with dad.”
“Bring him a pair of bowls and chopsticks "Liu Yuanrui turned to the nanny.
Liu Mingzu filled himself with hot porridge and ate it with pickles.
Seeing his son eating deliciously, Liu Yuanrui seemed to have an appetite. He put down the newspaper and picked up the bowls and chopsticks
"When did you come back?"
"Last night." Liu Mingzu quickly replied, "I came back by plane. It was too late when I got home, so I didn't come over."
Liu Yuanrui nodded, did not speak, and continued to eat.
The two of them ate breakfast in silence, the only sound in the restaurant was the sound of bowls and chopsticks.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Liu Yuanrui put down the bowl and asked slowly: "What are you doing when you come back this time?" Move around." Liu Mingzu replied carefully.
Of course Liu Yuanrui wouldn't believe this. There is still one month left before the Chinese New Year.
Usually, this son stays in the capital and rarely comes back. If he comes back suddenly, there must be something wrong.
However, Liu Yuanrui would not take the initiative to ask unless Liu Mingzu said anything, so he casually said: "What have you been doing in the capital in the past two years?"
"Dad, I have been starting a business in Beijing in the past two years." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "Didn't I build a website?"
"Oh, I heard your mother talk about it." Liu Yuanrui nodded, "I heard that you made some money."
"I think you made three or four million."
"Oh, it's not bad." Liu Yuanrui nodded, "You actually made some money." If you can make money, it’s not in vain.”
“But the things on the Internet are too empty. While you have some money, you should quickly find a regular business owner and don’t let your mother worry about it. ”
Liu Mingzu almost lost his composure when he heard this. Do you still have the nerve to mention my mother?
If you die, most of my mother's heart problems will go away.
However, Liu Mingzu still expected his cheap father to give him money, so he naturally had to pretend to be a loving father and a filial son.
“I got it, dad.” Liu Mingzu took advantage of this topic and said, “The Internet is very popular now. Many Internet companies will go public in two or three years, and many people who make websites have launched.”
“Now the country is vigorously promoting high-tech industries and has introduced many policies to support the development of the Internet. I think this is an opportunity.”
Liu Yuanrui interrupted Liu Mingzu, "I know that the Internet has been very popular in the past few years. Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, I heard that they were even listed in the United States."
"At that time, a few of us here The boss also heard that building a website can make money, and he invested some money in it, but the result? "
"What is it called, Internet bubble?" Liu Yuanrui said with a straight face, "When the bubble comes, the website will die. There is not a single one left, and no one wants it even for free.”
“Your father and I have been in the mall for so many years, and I have never seen anything like this.”
“Just buy a few computers. Can you make money with just the entire website? ”
"Everything on the website is fake, and the things buried in the ground are real."
Liu Mingzu said nothing with a sullen face.
“Are you not convinced?” Liu Yuanrui put down his chopsticks and lectured, “I have eaten more salt than noodles.”
“If you want to make money, I will I won’t stop you. After the year, you can go to the mine to become a manager and get some training. I’ll find you a regular employee later.”
Liu Mingzu simply didn’t beat around the bush and said directly: “Dad, I’m coming back this time. I want to borrow some money from you.”
"Borrow money?!" Liu Yuanrui glanced at him, "How much?"
Liu Mingzu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and said, "Five million, maybe."
"What do you mean?! "Liu Yuanrui frowned, "What do you want money for?"
"I'll just tell you," Liu Mingzu said, "I know a friend in Beijing who can help me put the website on the market, but now. The scale of the website is too small, and a sum of money is needed to build it up.”
“Once my website is successfully listed, its market value can reach one billion.”
Liu Yuanrui sneered, "Where is the liar from?"
"Mr. Qin is not a liar!" Liu Mingzu immediately retorted, "This Mr. Qin is an Internet legend. He built a website from scratch. How many billions is he now worth? "
Liu Yuanrui sneered: "Starting from scratch? Are you hysterical about wanting to get rich? How can someone so rich start from scratch and fool a fool?"
"I tell you, everything can be worth money. Anyone with over 100 million has a background behind it. How can you make a fortune without power or money?"
"Dad, your idea is too old," Liu Mingzu said seriously, "the Internet is developing now. Very fast, new wealth myths are born every day.”
"The logic of the Internet is different from that of traditional industry. Industry requires capital to operate. The Internet is different. It is a business without capital."
"So ordinary people can also turn over through the Internet. Examples like this There are many.”
“For example, Mr. Qin was a college student who had not graduated the year before. After more than a year of operation, his website’s valuation has exceeded 5 billion.”
As he spoke, Liu Mingzu placed several newspapers in front of Liu Yuanrui, pointed to the photos above and said, "This is Mr. Qin Shaoyan, CEO of Campus Network."
"The news here is from Campus Network and foreign countries. The Global International Marathon organized by Facebook was so big that even the leaders above were alarmed.”
"Look, these are all the leaders of the capital city taking photos with him. This one is an official of the International Olympic Committee, this one is the mayor of the United States, and this one is the mayor of Europe."
Liu Yuanrui glanced at it a few times, His face became solemn, he picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, and then said slowly: "This person is not simple."
"Mr. Qin is a powerful person." Liu Mingzu took the opportunity to say, "He is not only in He is very good at building websites in China and has a lot of connections abroad.”
“Look, this is a photo of him having coffee with Bill Gates. He has a very good relationship with Microsoft and has a lot of cooperation.”< br>
Liu Yuanrui frowned and looked at the photo Liu Mingzu brought, then put it aside and asked, "Is this person your friend?"
"Yeah." Liu Mingzu nodded.
"It's rare that you can make such a friend." Liu Yuanrui said expressionlessly, "Eat, eat."
"Dad?!" Liu Mingzu asked tentatively, " What about the money?"
"Let's talk about it after the year." Liu Yuanrui said casually, "The millet in Shanxi can support people. Eat more."
Liu Mingzu is not sure. What does it mean? I can only sit down and eat.
Liu Yuanrui occasionally asked a few questions, and Liu Mingzu answered them one by one. After that, the two of them stopped talking about borrowing money.
After sending Liu Mingzu away, Liu Yuanrui picked up the phone.
"Hey, help me check a person, the CEO of Campus Network."
"My name is Qin Shaoyan."
