wild 1995

Chapter 102 Contradictions
"Uncle Fan, I only studied treasury bond futures before, and I don't know much about plywood and palm oil. I've been very busy recently, and I haven't read financial information for a long time."

"The next time you find a good opportunity like the 327 national debt, remember to call me."

"Row."

After Di Ye perfunctorily left Fan Dazhi, he took a bus to the intersection of Qingyun Road and Hengshan Road, got off at the provincial library stop, walked westward for about 300 meters, and arrived at the gate of ICBC Building.

This building is currently the tallest and most magnificent office building in Yuncheng. It was just completed last year and has a total of 28 floors. Among them, ICBC owns the 12th floor and rents out the 12th floor. The office of Shining Gold Network Technology Co., Ltd. is located on the 15th floor of this building.

Di Ye came here to hold a shareholders' meeting. He spit chewing gum on a napkin and threw it into the trash can together with the "Pujiang Securities News" he had just read while taking the bus. He was about to enter the building when he heard someone shouting from behind. He turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Yingyong.

"President Zheng, what a coincidence?"

"It's not a coincidence. I've been waiting here for you. The Dean Fei of your school has already arrived. I couldn't chat with him, so I just stayed downstairs for a while."

Di Ye snorted, and jokingly said: "Mr. Zheng, you are dressed so grandly, are you going to have a wedding at noon?"

Zheng Yingyong was wearing a dark gray suit, tie, and carrying a briefcase, and explained somewhat awkwardly: "Mr. Wang asked me to wear formal clothes when I come to Jinshi Jin for meetings."

Di Ye looked down at his sports sweater, jeans and shoulder bag, and said, "Then I have to go back and change."

"Mr. Wang thinks that my education level is low, and he is afraid of affecting the company's image, so I have to pack it. You are different. You are tall, handsome, and a college student. You can wear whatever clothes you want."

Although Zheng Yingyong still had a smile on his face, Di Ye had a keen sense of emotions and sensed his resentment, and said, "Wang is always an overseas student, and he looks after foreign countries everywhere, and he is a bit uncomfortable. Our Yuncheng is not New York, so there is no need to be so particular about it."

"Who said no."

At this moment, there was a muffled roar of an engine on the street, and then a white BMW 528i drove over quickly. Seeing Zheng Yingyong frowning, Di Ye asked, "Is this Mr. Wang's car?"

"Yeah, I went to Pujiang to buy them last week, and the total cost was more than 80."

"The car is beautiful, but a bit expensive."

"It's not a question of cost, it's too ostentatious. I persuaded him to buy an Audi, but unfortunately he didn't listen and insisted on buying this."

Wang Yi was wearing black sunglasses, a flowered shirt and a casual suit. With one hand resting on the edge of the car window and the other holding the steering wheel, he parked the car slowly at the entrance of the building. He obviously imitated the yuppie style in Hollywood movies. It may be suitable for Los Angeles, but it seems out of place in Yuncheng.

After waiting for him to get out of the car, Di Ye pretended to take off his sunglasses with both hands, then walked over to say hello, "Mr. Wang, good taste, this set is Versace, right?"

"Almost, you also know fashion?"

"My girlfriend likes to study this, and took me to a specialty store in Hong Kong to see it a while ago..."

Di Ye came to the 15th floor while complimenting Wang Yi while not neglecting Zheng Yingyong. He walked through the glass door with the words "Golden" and "Goldshire" printed on it, and walked into the conference room led by the receptionist.

Dean Fei was smoking in the meeting room. When he saw Di Ye, he immediately said, "I have informed Principal Song that the school will sponsor you to apply for a passport. The documents will be sent to the Exit-Entry Administration Office in the afternoon, and they will be available the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, I will go to Pujiang to apply for a visa as soon as I get it."

In 2023, ordinary people can get a passport in about 5 days after applying for it, but not in 1995, the document review period is as long as 3 months, so after deciding to go to Germany to attend the World Wide Web International Conference last night, Di Ye called Dean Fei and asked him to help get a passport through the school.

"I heard that it is not easy to apply for a visa in Germany, are you sure?"

"I know a Dutchman who will send an invitation letter in the name of the University of Groningen, and then I will go to the Dutch consulate to apply for a visa and transfer from the Netherlands to Germany."

The University of Groningen is one of the best universities in the Netherlands. Dean Fei was amazed by Di Ye's extensive relationships and asked, "Where did you know the Dutch?"

"Dean, in the Internet age, the world is like neighbors, as long as you know the other party's email, you can get to know each other."

Seeing that the two were just chatting away and leaving him aside, Wang Yi felt a little annoyed, knocked on the large conference table with his sunglasses, and asked, "Di Ye, what are you going to do in Germany?"

"Go to an academic conference related to the Internet."

Di Ye had a bad impression of Wang Yi, and he didn't want to have too much to do with him, so he said, "Let's hold a shareholders' meeting, the business is important."

Flash Gold Network Technology Company has just completed a business order. There was no need to hold a shareholders meeting. Wang Yi held it specially to show off his "capability".

Di Ye shook his head secretly, because Wang Yi's efficiency was too low. If it was him, he would visit all the top 50 domestic GDP cities within a month to try to get more orders and accumulate word-of-mouth and contacts. In this way, he would be qualified to compete with AsiaInfo when the General Administration of Telecommunications invites bids for ChinaNet in the second half of the year.

It is impossible for Shining Gold to compete with AsiaInfo, which has a strong background, and it will close down next year at the latest, because after the completion of ChinaNet construction, telecommunications bureaus in various places have learned how to open the Internet, and no longer need to outsource to third parties.

After Wang Yi finished bragging about his performance, Di Ye and Dean Fei signed a share transfer letter, transferring 10% of the shares to Yunda, and then the meeting ended here, and it took a total of just over half an hour.

"Di Ye, I heard from my classmates in the United States that you developed a browser similar to Netscape, called Athlon, which is very popular on the Internet, is it true?"

"It's okay, it's free, and it doesn't make money."

"Are you out of your mind? Browsers are so hot right now, even if you only sell them for $10 per download, you can easily make millions."

Di Ye put the signed transfer letter into his backpack, and said softly and prickly: "Mr. Wang, Netscape is the leader in the browser industry. They are all free, so how should I charge?"

Wang Yi leaned back on the chair, posing as a business elite, and pointed out: "Netscape is free now to seize the market, and 100% of it will be charged in the future, and you will be charged accordingly. They sell it for 20 dollars, and you sell it for 10 dollars. You will definitely make a profit."

"I hope so."

"Are you short of money now? If not, I can invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to help you survive for a while until Netscape charges."

"I'm not short of money yet, and I'll ask Mr. Wang for help when I'm short."

Di Ye winked at Dean Fei and said nonsense, "That browser is a scientific research project in cooperation with Yunda University. It is not certain whether it will be commercially available in the future, because the source code is public."

Dean Fei cooperated with him tacitly, and agreed: "This project by Di Ye needs to apply for the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Ministry of Education, and it is not convenient for commercialization."

Hearing this, Wang Yi lost interest, put on his sunglasses, got up and left the conference room, took the elevator directly downstairs, drove away in the BMW.

Dean Fei looked at the luxury car going away, then looked up at the majestic office building, and complained: "The employees of Shining Gold are all teachers and students of Yunda University, and they don't usually come here to work. Why spend 8000 yuan a month to rent such a large office and conference room?"

Di Ye laughed and said, "Of course it's to save face."

Zheng Yingyong was completely ignored by Wang Yi just now, and he hadn't spoken to him from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he rarely revealed his true thoughts, spit on the ground, and said disdainfully: "Slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat, what a prodigal!"

Dean Fei also felt the same way, saying: "Mayor Wang should take good care of his son, it's too ostentatious and won't have a good influence."

Wang Beilin, the executive deputy mayor of Yuncheng, is only 47 years old this year. He is known for being shrewd and capable. He has done a lot of practical things and has a good reputation among the people. It stands to reason that his political career is still very long, but Di Ye has never heard of his name before crossing. Obviously, he was overturned, and he should have overturned when he was still very young, otherwise he would not have no impression.

"Maybe it was because of this son that the car overturned."

Di Ye muttered to himself, and after Dean Fei took a taxi to leave, he said to Zheng Yingyong: "Xia will send 10 VCD prototypes over in the afternoon, and you can put them in the flagship store as a display. If there is no problem with the quality, they will be available in a few days."

Zheng Yingyong showed joy, nodded and said: "No problem, Ai Ling and I have already prepared, as soon as Mr. Xia supplies, we will start selling immediately. Recently, Yingfeng's business is not as good as before, and we just need to hold an event to stimulate it."

"Is it because the price of pirated discs has dropped again?"

"Yeah, now a disc only costs 10 yuan, and there are disc rental shops everywhere. Not only are the rents cheaper than ours, but they also secretly sell third-tier movies. We, Yingfeng, are a regular company, we have to be concerned about our image, and we can't engage in those things, so the business is not as prosperous as in the first month of the month."

Di Ye was worried that Zheng Yingyong had embezzled too much funds and would default on Xia Jianwu's payment, so he reminded: "Mr. Xia's VCD player is very affordable, but it's okay if you don't pay on credit?"

"No problem, Yingfeng now has more than 4000 million in the account, and there is no need for credit."

"That's good."
