Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 628 Make a fortune together

"It's also for keeping in touch. That's the drinking culture of the Chinese people."

Luo Yang felt that this secretary was worth training, so he further explained to her: "I brought Mr. Song and Vice President Xiao with me not only to welcome him, but also to highlight the theme of tonight's dinner. However, both Shen Nanpeng and I know that the topic of shared bikes alone is too thin, and we need other content to support a normal and harmonious dinner."

Sun Wei also listened attentively.

She tried hard to remember her boss's words and digest them slowly later.

"As for your confusion, this is the result of information asymmetry."

Luo Yang continued, "Although Wen Wan has told you a lot of things some time ago, the key decision-making ideas are not clear to you, not even your Director Wen. So it's normal that you can't see clearly. If you can see clearly, you are a monster."

"No wonder everyone says the leader is right. I used to think it was flattery, but now after listening to the chairman's analysis, I think it makes some sense."

Sun Wei drew inferences from one example: "The higher up you are, the more comprehensive the information you get. The decision you make based on this information is definitely the best solution after weighing the pros and cons. Others are just seeing the leopard through a tube, and are like a blind man touching an elephant!"

She used three idioms in a row, and her expression was quite precise.

"Not bad."

Luo Yang also thought that Sun Wei's example was good and praised her twice.

"In the future, you will have the opportunity to access information at the core level of the company, and you will often attend events like tonight with me. With these conditions, how much you can learn depends on yourself."

"Thank you, Chairman, for giving me this precious opportunity."

This was a rare opportunity, so Sun Wei quickly bowed to express her loyalty: "I will definitely work hard and will never let you down."

"Okay, you should go back and rest early."

Time passed unknowingly as we chatted, and in the blink of an eye it was already past ten o'clock.

Luo Yang is young, and he goes to bed early and gets up early. When he attended the launch ceremony of the shared bicycle project the next day, he showed a full spirit.

The project is related to the mobile Internet-related industries and is a self-started business by college students. The school also invited leaders from the education department, and Sequoia Capital was invited to attend the signing ceremony, which immediately raised the level of the event.

Due to various factors, the event attracted a lot of attention from media.

Whether it was the speech at the project launch ceremony or the subsequent financing signing ceremony with Sequoia Capital, Song Wan came forward.

Her image as a strong woman in the workplace was quickly established in front of the media.

As a result, the vice president Xiao Wei also received considerable attention.

During the entire process, Luo Yang sat in the front row and applauded with a smile on his face.

Only when he reached the last step in the process did he feel a little relieved.

Guests invited to the launch ceremony, as well as some selected students, used their campus cards and mobile phones to use shared bicycles, and then returned them after riding around the campus.
In order to ensure that there are no accidents in this link, we have repeated the test no less than ten times yesterday.

Because of the uncontrollable risks, Song Wan repeatedly suggested to Luo Yang not to include this part in the launch ceremony.

Her reasons were very good: if it succeeded, the icing on the cake would have little effect; if it failed, the project might fail.

But Luo Yang doesn't think so.

There may be accidents in this link, but these accidents will only be isolated cases. The reason why the project is promoted on campus first is to collect data and modify the deficiencies in the application software. Instead of hiding it, it is better to show it openly.

Flaws on the road to success will only attract more spontaneous attention from the media.

In fact, there were no accidents this time and the whole process was almost perfect. After returning the shared bicycle, we received warm applause.

"Mr. Luo, this project only existed on paper before, and I only had a rough picture in my mind."

After finishing the last part, Shen Nanpeng walked to Luo Yang and said, "After experiencing it myself today, I have begun to imagine another picture: these bikes are scattered in every corner of the city, and many young office workers are riding shared bikes. Mr. Luo, congratulations, you succeeded!"

"Boss Shen, it's too early to talk about success now."

Luo Yang did not show any excessive excitement, but said with a serious expression: "I saw another picture in my mind."

"Oh?"

Shen Nanpeng looked at Luo Yang curiously: "Is there something else exciting that I don't know about?"

“Capital is about to pour in.”

Luo Yang looked back at the shared bike stuck on the pole: "I believe it won't be long before the second and third shared bike companies are established. For a project without a moat like this, who will have the last laugh? There's still a lot to play for!"

"Boss Luo, are you preparing for danger in times of peace?"

Shen Nanpeng himself is a big shot in the investment circle, how could he not know the morality of capital?
The smoke of the battle between thousands of food delivery platforms has not yet completely dissipated, and the corpses of more than 5,000 food delivery platforms are an example of this.

"Within two months, my bicycles will be deployed in more than 90% of the colleges and universities in Shanghai."

Luo Yang retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Nanpeng and said, "At the same time, I will not give up on Mr. Shen in the cities of Beijing, Jinling, Jiangcheng, and Yangcheng where there are many colleges and universities. Before the end of the second quarter, Edifier Technology will conduct its first round of financing. Are you, Sequoia Capital, willing to lead the investment?"

Shen Nanpeng stared into Luo Yang's eyes for a moment.

"Hahaha"

He smiled and held out his hand: "Mr. Luo, I'm very interested!"

“My philosophy has always been win-win.”

Luo Yang also stretched out his hand and responded confidently, "Boss Shen, believe me, this decision will definitely bring you very generous rewards."

Just as the two men shook hands, Yu Haiping quietly walked to Luo Yang's side.

"Boss, the two bodyguards you requested have been brought here and are waiting at the west gate."

"Well, I'll take them to have lunch nearby later."

Luo Yang nodded and said, "I'll meet up with them after I finish here and go to the airport together."

The conversation between the two did not avoid Shen Nanpeng, which could be regarded as a response to last night, confirming that he was indeed going to HK with his family today.

The lunch reception was organized by Edifier Technology Company and held in a large hotel in Songjiang New Town District.

Because not many people were drinking, the dinner ended before one o'clock.

After the show, Luo Yang first met up with two female bodyguards, and then drove directly from the University Town to Pudong International Airport.

Jiang Fan sent a message just after twelve o'clock, telling him that he had left home. Calculating the time, the car should still be on the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, and it would take about 3:30 to arrive at the airport.

It only takes Luo Yang more than an hour to get there.

When the car arrived at the terminal, he did not rush into the airport. Instead, he waited outside while smoking a cigarette. He also chatted with the two bodyguards to get familiar with their situation.

Both of them have single names, one is Mao Hui and the other is Shan Ning.

Mao Hui is from Guangxi Province. She is not tall and has dark skin. She retired from a special brigade in the Jinling Military Region. She said she had been stationed in Fujian Province before and was a mountain soldier.
Another one named Shan Ning is from northern Jiangsu. She is about 1.65 meters tall and has a healthy brown skin. She retired from the armed police force. Unlike Mao Hui, she does not spend all day in the mountains. She was stationed in Shanghai before.
Time passed unnoticed while we were chatting.

"Luo Yang, here!"

Jiang Fan was waving not far away, Xiao Yujun was standing beside her with a smile, and the driver was busy taking out the suitcase from the trunk.

"Slow down, the flight is at 5:20, there's no rush!"

After hugging Jiang Fan who was running over, Luo Yang greeted his mother-in-law who was walking behind him.

"Mom, you and Fanfan are going to Europe at the end of June, so you need to arrange some bodyguards for them."

Then he introduced two bodyguards to the mother and daughter: "We'll follow you to HK this time. If you think it's okay, then you can book it." "Yangyang, thank you for your trouble."

Xiao Yujun didn't say anything like it was a waste of money. For people as wealthy as Jiang Yuanshan and Luo Yang, hiring a few bodyguards wasn't a big expense.

She was very touched by her son-in-law's thoughtfulness.

After not seeing each other for nearly a week, Jiang Fan was particularly clingy, holding Luo Yang's arm and chattering non-stop.

But after boarding the plane, everything became quiet.

On the contrary, Luo Yang felt a little uncomfortable.

He seldom took flights in his previous life, and domestic travel was mainly by car and high-speed rail. He was really afraid of flying and would not choose to travel by plane unless it was absolutely necessary.

To be rational, the safety factor of airplane travel is actually relatively high.

"You seem nervous?"

After the plane took off from the ski jump, there was a stage of rapid ascent. At this time, Jiang Fan noticed Luo Yang's strangeness: "Luo Yang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing, don't you think it's very..."

"Hoho, I didn't expect you to be a grown man."

It was rare to see Luo Yang in such an awkward state, Jiang Fan was extremely happy and kept poking him with his words.
"Yangyang, which hotel are you staying at tonight?"

Xiao Yujun, who was sitting a seat away, couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to help her son-in-law out.

"Mom, I've booked a room at the Mandarin Hotel in Central."

Luo Yang was eager to change the subject, and quickly replied: "I have let the people in the office know that this hotel is surrounded by shopping malls and brand flagship stores. Staying here will make it convenient for you to go shopping."

"I thought you would book the Peninsula Hotel near Victoria Harbour."

Xiao Yujun has been coming to Hong Kong several times a year for shopping since around the year 2000 and is very familiar with the place.

“Mandarin Hotel is also good.”

As soon as Xiao Yujun opened her mouth, Jiang Fan knew that he could no longer play the game.

So she joined the conversation: "My mother and I have lived in both families, and I think each has its own merits."

Luo Yang doesn't care.

When I just graduated, I felt that renting a house was too expensive, so I lived on the construction site.

It is common to live in a dormitory made of containers with several other people.

Xiao Yujun didn't really want to chat, she just opened her mouth to help her son-in-law out.

After the three of them chatted for a few minutes, she put down the chair, closed her eyes and took a rest.

Luo Yang also turned sideways and pretended to go to sleep.

Jiang Fan, who was left in the middle, was very angry.
Since we had made a reservation in advance, the hotel sent a special car to pick us up after we got off the plane. In less than an hour, the five of us arrived at the hotel.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel is the flagship hotel of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.

It combines tradition and modernity, West and East very well.

There are famous French and Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong, and it is connected to shopping malls such as Landmark and Prince's Building. It is very convenient for tourists. No wonder the board of directors helped Luo Yang to book a hotel here. The location is truly unique.

And the accommodation environment here is also good.

The guest rooms and corridors are decorated in wood, black and yellow tones, creating a deep atmosphere.

When entering the guest room, the most eye-catching thing is the balcony, which overlooks the Victoria Harbour, which is very rare in hotels in Hong Kong.

This time we booked three rooms in total, two of which were sea view rooms.

Jiang Fan and Xiao Yujun shared a room, Luo Yang had a room alone, and the ordinary room was naturally reserved for the two bodyguards.

It’s not that we can’t afford a better place, it’s just that there’s no need.

Especially people like Xiao Yujun, who come here four or five times a year just for shopping and window shopping.

It was no different from this time, I arrived in HK on Friday night and flew back to the mainland on Sunday afternoon.

This kind of life is very common among wealthy families in some big cities in the country.

In addition to shopping in HK, some young middle and senior managers of large companies are more carefree. Every Friday, they fly directly to Sanya after get off work, wake up facing the sea the next day, play until Sunday afternoon, and then fly back, and go to work full of energy on Monday morning.

We had been running around all day since we left home in the afternoon and were all very tired. We tidied up our rooms and went to bed early.

During this time, Luo Yang went to the room where Xiao Yujun and Jiang Fan lived, and asked them if they wanted to go out for a midnight snack.

"Don't eat midnight snacks. Go to bed early. You will be very tired tomorrow!"

At that time, Jiang Fan was wearing pajamas, lying lazily on the sofa, and gave him some "advice".

At that time, Luo Yang didn't take it seriously and thought she was just saying it casually.

It was not until the next day that he realized that Jiang Fan was not joking last night.

When we went out, he promised to be at my service, but after walking around for half a day, the man with abdominal muscles was actually a little bit timid.

He really couldn't understand it. It would be fine if Jiang Fan was in his early twenties, but why was Xiao Yujun, who was in her forties, still so energetic and radiant?

"Can't hold on any longer?"

After shopping in a fashion store, the mother and daughter walked out of the store and saw two female bodyguards guarding a bunch of shopping trophies. However, Luo Yang was slumped in the rest area, looking too tired to move.

"Can't walk anymore?"

Jiang Fan walked up to Luo Yang carrying a few shopping bags and waved them proudly in front of him.

Luo Yang clasped his fists and bowed: "Lady Jiang, my skills are still shallow, I admit defeat!"

"Pfft!"

Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Xiao Yujun came over to show concern for her son-in-law, she took the opportunity to hold her mother's arm.

In front of Ms. Xiao, she pushed up her sunglasses, looked at Luo Yang carefully for a moment, and then sighed, "Let me tell you a little bit of gossip. When a rich girl is choosing a husband, she will take her suitor out for a whole day, not for anything else, but just to observe the man's endurance!"

Luo Yang was confused.

He looked at Jiang Fan without blinking: Don’t you have any idea how strong my physical strength is?

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes: That's it.
Tolerable or unbearable!
Luo Yang was full of fighting spirit. He stood up quickly and walked close to Jiang Fan.

He stared into his fiancée's eyes and blurted out word by word: "Wife, let's continue shopping until dinner!"

"Afraid of you?"

The shopping bag in his hand was suddenly stuffed into Luo Yang's hands.

Jiang Fan let go of his mother and stepped forward to hold Luo Yang's arm: "Husband, our cloakroom is big and we are still short of a lot of accessories."
