Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 277: Compatibility between the North and the South, and combination of hardness and softness.

Shenxia City, Tianhu District, at the entrance of the antique market.

A young man selling food on the street was holding an antique porcelain chamber pot and said to the two foreigners in fluent English: "NoNoNo, this is the chamber pot used by the Empress Dowager Cixi. The lowest price is 200, Daole."

"It's too expensive, too expensive." The foreigner shook his head and turned to leave.

The young man quickly grabbed the foreigner and said in English: "20, 20, Dao Le, this is really the chamber pot used by Empress Dowager Cixi. If you don't believe me, you can smell it. Is there a faint smell?"

The young man carried the chamber pot to the two foreigners.

A foreigner sniffed it, gave a thumbs-up and said, "Oh, it really does have a strange smell."

The young man smiled and said, “20, Dao Le, sell it at a loss, and we will be friends.”

"OK, OK." The two foreigners nodded with satisfaction and handed the young man a 20-yuan US dollar bill.

"This antique is yours now, haha." The young man packed the chamber pot and handed it to the two foreigners.

A foreigner asked curiously, "What does 'hapi' mean?"

The young man smiled and said, "Ha Pi means friend."

"Good, good." The foreigner gave the young man a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Thank you, MY-Hapi."

The young man watched the two foreigners leave happily and put the $20 bill into his pocket.

The young man had a thin appearance and was wearing a long-sleeved floral shirt and jeans, looking a little frivolous.

He stood on the street, and whenever he saw a foreigner passing by, he would shout hello. If the other party did not respond, he would switch to several languages.

Now that Shenxia City's economy is booming, many foreigners regard Shenxia City as their first stop to understand China.

"Cheng Jian." At this time, a young man came over from a distance. He ran to Cheng Jian, panting, and said, "Something big has happened."

"What's the big deal?" Cheng Jian asked curiously, "Did I get reported by those foreigners?"

"No, my cousin just called me and said that what happened to you four years ago is dominating the Handong Evening News again, and now people all over the province are discussing the fact that you were wrongly accused," said the young man.

"I'm being wronged?" Cheng Jian was a little bit unconvinced.

He kept the fact that he was wrongly accused to himself, and no one knew about it except his family.

Why is the whole province discussing him?

The young man said, "Let's go to an internet cafe and read the news. Maybe those Xinlang websites will also have something about you."

This young man is Cheng Jian's childhood friend and playmate from the same village. His name is Feng Wenkai. He and Cheng Jian came to Shenxia City from Dongcang County to work together. They can be said to be dependent on each other. After work, they will run to the entrance of the antique city to set up a stall, specifically targeting foreigners who have just arrived in Shenxia City. Their main goal is to discredit the motherland.

"What the hell." Cheng Jian said: "Who cares what they say? It doesn't matter to me anymore. Now I have to make money as soon as possible."

Although Cheng Jian said this, he was still a little moved in his heart.

If... if it could be proven that he was innocent.

He has not dared to return home in the past few years. Whenever he thinks about being pointed at by others after returning, the remaining pride in his heart will burst out uncontrollably.

Feng Wenkai knew Cheng Jian's temper. Seeing Cheng Jian act so nonchalant, he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "I guess Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng will call you soon."

"Let's not talk about that anymore." Cheng Jian smiled carefreely and said, "Look what I sold."

"Oh my god, you sold our chamber pot?" At this time, Feng Wenkai saw that the largest chamber pot was missing from the stall.

Cheng Jian smiled proudly and said, "I sold it for 20 dollars."

"That's amazing! We only bought it for 18 yuan, haha." Feng Wenkai laughed, "Isn't that a net profit of seven or eight times the original price?"

Feng Wenkai said with some regret: "What a pity! Once the chamber pot is sold, we will have to use buckets to go to the toilet at night."

Cheng Jian handed the feather duster in his hand to Feng Wenkai and said, "You look at the stalls first. I'll go to the antique street to see if there are any bargains."

After saying that, Cheng Jian strode into the antique street.

He crossed the Antique Street and went to the Internet cafe opposite the Antique Street.

After turning on a computer, he quickly opened the Sohu website and searched the website carefully for a while. Sure enough, he found a post about him in the social section of the Sohu website.

[Handong Foreign Languages ​​University top student's diary of four years and 1689 days of injustice]

Cheng Jian clicked on the post with a nervous heart, and as he read it, he felt a surge of emotion.

The owner of this wronged diary was actually him.

However, this diary of an unjustly accused man clearly contained some literary elements, making him appear extremely miserable.

"Who on earth is seeking justice for me?" Cheng Jian's hand holding the mouse began to tremble.

Although it happened four years ago, that scene was like a knife, deeply engraved in his heart.

Unforgettable.

From then on, he fed his conscience to the dogs.

Acting bravely? Seeing injustice? Having some connection with him? The incident continued to ferment. Within three days, reporters from major media outlets had already flocked to Handong Foreign Languages ​​University.

Everyone wanted to know what happened to the wrongly accused college student.

The speed at which the incident fermented has far exceeded the speed at which Handong Foreign Languages ​​University clarified the matter.

No matter how hard they tried, the news still spread like a virus, sweeping across the entire Handong Province.

"What the hell is going on with you?" Ji Hao, vice president of Handong Foreign Languages ​​University, shouted in an almost roaring tone in the school affairs office.

Du Xu stood nearby, not daring to breathe. He waited until Ji Hao finished his rant before he said in a trembling voice, "President Ji, this was Cheng Yi, a freshman at Handong University, who was behind this. He wants us to publicly apologize to Cheng Jian in the Jingzhou Daily. I didn't expect him to be so bold. He's completely disrupting our school's teaching. I think we should call the police and have him arrested."

"The Police Association is yours, so you can arrest anyone you want?" Ji Hao said angrily, "Didn't you go to Handong University?"

"I looked for them at the beginning, but Handong University said they would not interfere in students' private affairs." Du Xu said with a stiff upper lip.

Ji Hao said in a deep voice: "We must find a way to stop this! We are about to apply to an international university. If this news spreads overseas, we will forget about getting a place in this international university."

"Principal Ji, should we agree to Cheng Yi's request?" Du Xu said in a trembling voice.

"First, contact those newspapers, magazines, and TV stations to see if you can dispel public opinion." Ji Hao said in a deep voice, "Don't apologize unless it's absolutely necessary."

Du Xu said, "Principal Ji, do you think it's possible that the Momo Group is trying to use us to establish its authority?"

"Establish authority?" Ji Hao was puzzled.

Du Xu said, "Looking back at the past, every powerful group, when it rises, will have a battle to establish its prestige, so that some scoundrels will not dare to provoke them again. I always feel that the Momo Group is targeting us. If we lose this battle, the Momo Group's name will probably be known throughout Handong Province."

Ji Hao frowned and said, "I don't think so. We are an academic university. What's the point of him using us to establish his authority? Who taught you these words?"

Du Xu paused and said, "It's Wu Tao from the Handong branch of Starcom Group. He came to me yesterday and said he could help us deal with this problem. Principal Ji, would you like to meet with him?"

Ji Hao sat on the sofa, thought for a while, frowned and said, "Then let's meet."

At this time, in the office of the vice president of Momo Group, Jia Jingming, Li Chengxuan, Li Zhiyuan and Cheng Yi were sitting around the table.

The tea in the teapot has already boiled, steam is rising, and a refreshing tea fragrance fills this not-so-big office.

"Cheng Yi, what exactly do you want to do? I feel like you've gone a bit too far." Jia Jingming said as he drank his tea, "Your career has just stabilized. There's really no need to provoke Handong Foreign Languages ​​University. I heard that Wu Tao has been in contact with Handong Foreign Languages ​​University. I think they're going to team up against you."

Li Chengxuan said angrily, "Brother Jia, I think Cheng Yi did the right thing. With the current scale of Momo Group, we can only move forward no matter what happens. We can't retreat at all. Saying you're going to retreat at the peak of your career is pure bullshit. If you take a step back, the blame will be taken away by others."

Li Zhiyuan just lowered his head and drank tea without making any comments.

At present, their Jingzhou Daily has been involved in this matter. As a party involved, any opinions he expresses will be misinterpreted.

Li Zhiyuan was the first person to know Cheng Yi. He had met many entrepreneurs and claimed to be very good at judging people, but he could never see through this young man, Cheng Yi.

This young man's personality is so changeable. He has seen Cheng Yi's humility running around, and he has also seen Cheng Yi's madness in his efforts to defeat Tianqin Internet Cafe.

Perhaps this has something to do with Cheng Yi's hometown.

Handong Province is the only province in China that is compatible with both the north and the south. It has both the boldness and magnanimity of northerners and the rationality and restraint of southerners. In particular, the two major cities to the north, Zhuolu City and Lanling City, have been battlegrounds for military strategists since ancient times. This has also enabled the people of this area to develop a unique personal charm, making them have both the straightforwardness of northern Lu people and the delicacy of southern Jiangnan people.

Cheng Yi poured tea for the three of them and said with a smile, "When a dynasty is first established, there must be a founding war. The same is true when a group is first established. I won't hide it from you. The conflict between me and Starcom was initiated by me. The hatred between them and me can be considered new and old. They applied for the license for the chain internet cafe, so they must be my enemy. They framed my eldest brother, which is an old hatred."

Cheng Yi slowly raised his head, looked at Jia Jingming and the other two, and smiled. "Wait until both sides are ready before fighting. That's a scene that only appears in a play. My Momo Group is indeed unstable right now, but the Handong branch of Starcom Group has just settled in Handong Province. How stable can it be? Do I have to wait until they are fully developed before challenging them?"

"The development of Xiaolingtong is more than ten times faster than that of our internet cafe." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "When everyone in Handong Province has a Xiaolingtong phone, what can I use to compete with them? Just those crappy computers in my internet cafe?"

Jia Jingming and the other two looked at Cheng Yi in surprise. After a while, Jia Jingming said, "You really know how to pick your opponents. The Starcom Group is now considered the world's number one swordsman."

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Starcom Group is indeed very strong, but their Handong branch is just a toddler. If I don't take this opportunity to kick it and establish my authority, I won't be able to kick it when it grows up. Haha. Besides, I've done a detailed deduction. Starcom Group will definitely not divide their energy to deal with me just for a branch. They still have to suppress ZTE and Huawei."

Jia Jingming thought for a moment and said, "If you win this battle, your Momo Group will definitely be on the list of the top 100 groups in Handong Province. But if you lose, given Wu Tao's character, he won't leave you any room for retreat."

"Understood." Cheng Yi laughed heartily. "I really have no choice. Wu Tao controls Wangyuan Communications with one hand and Starcom's Handong branch with the other. I can't let him have both hands strong. Before Wangyuan Communications can fully develop, I must break his Handong branch's arm."

"Brother, whenever you need help, just tell me and I'll cheer you on." Li Chengxuan gave Cheng Yi a reassurance.

Jia Jingming also said: "Well, I have already communicated with Zheng Kang from the ZTE Group Handong Branch yesterday. He is willing to cooperate with you. I will take you to meet with him this afternoon."

"Thank you, Brother Jia." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "With the help of several brothers, how can Wu Tao be considered a Gou Ba?"

After drinking tea, Cheng Yi took Jia Jingming and the other two on a tour of the various departments of Momo Group and described the vision of Momo Group to them in detail.

After listening to Momo Group's development prospects, the three of them remembered the huge slogan "Momo Group, here to change the world" in the lobby of Momo Group at the entrance, and suddenly felt that the slogan had become more concrete.

In the afternoon, Cheng Yi, accompanied by Jia Jingming, went to the ZTE Group Handong Branch in the city center.

Compared with Starcom, ZTE Group's Handong branch looks much more shabby. It is located in an ordinary office building with only 12 floors. The rent of the building is several times cheaper than that of the building where Starcom Group is located.

Hearing that Jia Jingming was coming, the branch's general manager, Zheng Kang, had already brought people downstairs to wait. When he saw Jia Jingming get out of the car, Zheng Kang immediately ran over and said with a smile, "President Jia, welcome, welcome."

Jia Jingming and Zheng Kang shook hands, pointed at Cheng Yi who was getting off the car at the same time and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, this is the Cheng Yi I mentioned to you. His group owns nearly a thousand Internet cafes. I guarantee there will be no problem cooperating with him on your PHS business."

"Hello, President Cheng." Zheng Kangxi said with a smile, "I've heard of President Cheng's great name for a long time. Today I finally get to meet him."

"Mr. Zheng, you're joking. You're my senior, so you have to give me some guidance in the future." Cheng Yi also smiled happily.
