Financial freedom starts with a monthly income of XNUMX

Apart from this unpleasant incident, the three of them had a pretty happy start to their shopping trip today.

After ordering three cups of milk tea, the three of them went to the cinema in the mall and watched a movie together.

While watching the movie, Gao Yuan sat in the middle, and Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao sat on both sides of Gao Yuan. For a moment, he was reminded of the time when they watched a movie together.

The only difference is that the people became Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao.

He didn't do anything, but now he is a celebrity. If something gets out, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

They haven't watched a movie outside for a long time.

There is a cinema in the villa, and the sound effects are much better than those in cinemas outside. However, Lin Wanyu and her friends are not very willing to go to the cinema that was built in the villa at a huge cost.

Sometimes I feel that this kind of movie theater outside has more atmosphere.

As she watched, Lin Wanyu unconsciously fell on Gao Yuan's shoulder.

She looked back and found that Xiao Xiao had already leaned on Gao Yuan's shoulder to watch.

This posture is quite comfortable.

Gao Yuan stretched out his hands and held Xiao Xiao and Lin Wanyu in his arms.

“This movie is kind of boring.”

Lin Wanyu muttered, "The movies about youth and love on the market nowadays are either too cliché and tear-jerking, or the stories are too weird."

I felt sleepy after watching it for a while because the movie was so fragmented.

"I've seen a very weird movie before. It was about a girl who disappeared when she was a child, and then her parents adopted a daughter. When the girl was found in high school, the adopted daughter disliked her in every way."

"The adopted daughter causes trouble for the biological daughter every day and slanders her, while the parents not only don't help the biological daughter, but also protect the adopted daughter's feelings everywhere."

Xiao Xiao talked about a movie she had watched before.

Holy shit, there is such a dramatic plot.

Gao Yuan usually doesn’t pay attention to these things, but he didn’t expect that today’s movies are so randomly made.

"There's more, not just these." Xiao Xiao continued, "The most bizarre thing is that he kicked his biological daughter out of the house for his adopted daughter. Then his biological brother took care of the adopted sister and sent his biological sister to a classmate's house."

"That classmate is a boy."

"So my sister lived with her male classmate for several years! The male classmate fell in love with my sister."

When Xiao Xiao saw this movie, she felt like she was bursting with excitement.

How could there be such a weird thing in the world?
She actually let her own daughter live in the same room with another man, and they stayed together for several years.

Sometimes, Xiao Xiao wondered if those screenwriters and directors were out of their minds.

“This…this is really hard to evaluate.”

Gao Yuan was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a fantastic story in the world.

"I've seen this movie, too. I almost smashed my tablet out of anger." Lin Wanyu said, "No wonder the movie market isn't doing well these days. The plot is simply too outrageous. A movie about losing weight can still make tens of billions at the box office."

“There are fewer and fewer good movies.”

Art comes from life but is higher than life.

But art cannot be separated from life. If you only earn that little money every month and use it all to enroll in a weight loss class, wouldn’t that mean you are no longer living?
Those directors and screenwriters have been out of touch with the lives of ordinary people for too long, and they think the movies they make are good. But when the movies are released and the box office is not ideal, they do not reflect on their own problems, but instead blame the current audience for only watching junk movies and not being able to appreciate the connotation of their movies.

There are fewer and fewer quality movies, and more and more popcorn-style movies that are forced to be funny and tear-jerking.

Just like this movie, the name sounds nice, but the actual content is mediocre.

They spend a lot of money on various marketing activities but are unwilling to work hard on the content.

No wonder many people nowadays have given up watching movies and TV series because they are too lazy to do so.

Halfway through the show, Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao fell asleep.

Gao Yuan hugged the two of them until the movie was over, then he woke them up.

Xiao Xiao and Lin Wanyu both gave the same evaluation of this movie - the plot was not good, but it was a good sleep aid, and it was very comfortable to sleep leaning on Gao Yuan's body.

……

Gao Yuan spent the whole day with Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao.

After watching the movie, we went to a nearby entertainment venue to sing karaoke. In the evening, we went to a delicious restaurant for a big meal.

In the evening, we went to the square.

There was a band singing in the square. The three of them sat on the steps, quietly listening to the singer singing folk songs.

All in all, today was pretty good and pleasant.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them returned home.

Li Mengqing was staying at home alone, feeling quite bored.

I took a nap and had nothing to do after waking up.

Only after seeing the three people coming back did Li Mengqing say, "Did you three really abandon me? That's too much!"

"Hahaha, Gao Yuan has been with the two of us for the whole day. How about this, let Gao Yuan accompany you alone tonight?" Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Don't refuse, this is something we have already discussed before."

"That's right, you can enjoy Gao Yuan all to yourself tonight." Lin Wanyu agreed with a smile, "The two of us will create opportunities for you."

"What? I'm alone?"

Li Mengqing took two steps back. This was really a life-threatening situation.

Normally, the three of them together are no match for Gao Yuan.

Now that she is alone, Li Mengqing can't bear it anymore.

"How can this be possible? I'm not the kind of person who likes to have things to myself. Let's all be together." Li Mengqing wanted to pull Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao onto her boat.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao and Lin Wanyu didn't take the bait at all.

"I'm so tired. I'm going to bed."

Xiao Xiao spoke first.

"My legs are sore after a day of shopping. If I don't get enough beauty sleep, I'll be exhausted again tomorrow."

Lin Wanyu didn't dare to board Li Mengqing's pirate ship.

"Haha, you can leave if you want?"

Li Mengqing would not let the two of them leave easily, otherwise she would not be able to handle it alone.

So Li Mengqing forcibly dragged the two of them back to the bedroom.

……

early december.

It's getting colder in Hangzhou. After a few winter rains, the puddles on the ground have frozen over.

When I got up early in the morning and went to the garage, it was still a little cold.

Gao Yuan drove to the company.

Along the road, there are many people riding electric scooters to work, wrapping their clothes tightly.

The cold wind howled.

I didn't feel anything when I was sitting in the car. I turned on the heater and sometimes I even had to lower the window to let in some cool air.

In the company.

It was working hours and many employees took out their mobile phones to clock in as soon as they entered the park.

Some employees’ positioning was not updated, so they refreshed it frantically.

Seeing Gao Yuan's car passing by, the employees put down their phones one after another, as if they had done something wrong and were caught by the teacher.

Gao Yuan smiled, stepped on the brakes, and then sent a text message to his secretary, asking him to send someone to drive the car away.

He stood among the employees.

Those employees were extremely nervous. Although Gao Yuan had always been very friendly, he had been in a high position for a long time, and his aura as a superior forced those employees to be respectful to him.

"Mr. Gao!"

An employee plucked up the courage to greet Gao Yuan.

"Hello there!"

Gao Yuan responded with a smile.

After learning from Gao Yuan's previous experience, many employees boldly greeted Gao Yuan.

"It's a bit cold in Hangzhou this morning." After getting off the car, Gao Yuan truly felt the temperature of Hangzhou.

"Yes, Mr. Gao, it was so cold this morning that I could hardly get up."

said an employee.

There is no heating in Hangzhou in winter, and turning on the air conditioner consumes too much electricity.

Many people just added two quilts, but still felt it was not enough.

The most terrifying thing is that I can’t get up in the morning. As soon as I stretch my hand out of the quilt, I feel the cold. I wish I could lie in bed until noon before going to the company.

“The morning shift is miserable.”

Another employee echoed.

I hate waking up early when I’m in school, and the same goes for working hours.

"Hahaha, let me tell my boss that if I clock in half an hour late in the morning, my performance will not be deducted." Gao Yuan said, "It means my work time will be delayed by half an hour."

"This way, you can avoid the morning rush hour and don't have to rush to squeeze into the subway or bus."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry to get up. Sleep a little longer."

When he was in college, Gao Yuan felt deeply touched.

Especially the eight classes in the morning, I really don’t want to get out of bed in winter.

"Mr. Gao is mighty!"

The employees were so happy.

If you can arrive half an hour later, you can rest for half an hour longer.

I feel happy just thinking about having to work half an hour less every day.

"Okay, everyone hurry up and get back to your workstations," Gao Yuan said. "Even if we issue a notice, it has to be implemented starting tomorrow. Today, the same rules still apply. Don't deduct your performance for being late."

When the employees looked at the time, they realized they were about to be late, so they rushed to their respective office buildings.

In such a large park, this is the time when most people come.

Looking at the backs of these employees, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile.

He truly treats these employees as brothers, unlike some people who only talk about brothers but actually treat their employees indifferently.

Some entrepreneurs even openly proposed that employees should not be paid too high a salary in order to avoid affecting the market.

Gao Yuan agrees with what Wang, the richest man, once said: He is doing charity here and there, promoting himself everywhere. With this money, he might as well improve the treatment of his own employees first.

As employees’ salaries increase, their consumption levels also increase.

Their wages generate a lot of taxes during the circulation process.

Wouldn't it be better if the tax was collected by China and then used for charity?

This approach makes more sense.

Today, Yuanfang Group’s salary is the highest in the industry, and it can also be said to be the highest salary level in Daxia Country.

Many graduates are scrambling to work in Yuanfang Group.

"Mr. Gao!"

Just as Gao Yuan was walking forward, an employee trotted over to him and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm from the Yuanfang mobile phone R&D department. I want to ask, when will our group start launching Yuanfang tablets and Yuanfang computers?"

"I think our technology is mature enough to make remote tablets and remote computers easily."

“This is also a huge market.”

This R&D employee realized early on that Yuanfang Group was going to make tablets and computers.

But the company has not made any follow-up moves.

"Well, I do plan to make tablets and computers, and I'm currently negotiating with senior executives." Gao Yuan said, "Don't worry, take your time."

In fact, Gao Yuan almost forgot about this matter.

As a set of three electronic products, mobile phones, tablets and computers have always been popular products on the market.

Mobile phones are the most popular device, followed by computers and tablets.

The computer market is also huge.

The development of domestic computers has always been restricted by others.

The lack of breakthroughs in chips has resulted in domestic computers having to import large quantities of chip products from abroad.

It was not until the Warwick Group developed the chip that domestic computers began to appear one after another.

Apart from the chip, the computer system is also a very troublesome factor. Most computers on the market use the Windows system.

This is mainly due to Windows' earliest marketing strategy. At that time, there were many pirated computer systems in China, but the Windows system party had never taken any action and allowed the pirated systems to spread in China.

Now that the computer market is saturated, the layout of these genuine Windows systems has been completed, bringing them huge profits every year.

Just like an LV bag.

Pirated LV bags have been rampant in China. Some people asked the boss of LV why he didn't sue those pirated companies.

The LV boss said, the more pirated products the better.

The person who buys the pirated goods knows that what she buys is a pirated product. But when she has money one day, she will definitely spend money to buy a real LV bag.

Pirated products continue to divert traffic to genuine products.

The advertising effect generated each year is worth at least tens of billions of dollars.

The same is true for the Windows OS, which relies on piracy to occupy the market and suppress other computer systems so that they cannot survive.

Once the market is saturated and they start exporting genuine products, they will be able to make a lot of money.

There was a controversy at a large domestic computer manufacturer that year.

Chief Engineer Academician Ni has always advocated "technology, industry and trade". Simply put, technology is the most important. An enterprise must base itself on technology, develop technology first, and then trade.

But the person in charge of this company, Lao Liu, does not think so. He advocates "trade, industry and technology" and thinks that technology does not play a big role. There are so many suppliers anyway, and as long as the suppliers' products are assembled together, it becomes a computer and can be sold.

Moreover, Lao Liu felt that R&D technology was too expensive, so it would be better to save the money.

In the end, Lao Liu was better and brought Academician Ni to the company.

This turmoil was called the dispute between "technology, industry and trade" and "trade, industry and technology". In the end, Lao Liu succeeded. They began to focus less on research and development and instead vigorously promoted their products.

This has resulted in domestic computers lagging behind foreign countries by decades.

At that time, the company was a state-owned company. Later, as Lao Liu gradually encroached on it, his controlling stake became larger and larger, and it became a private enterprise.

The company's profits and revenues have been declining year by year, but they are unaware of it.

At a forum ten years ago, Liu's successor, Yang, openly mocked Musk on stage, saying that Musk was just an ordinary businessman and was not worthy of being compared with their company. (End of this chapter)
