Star Tycoon

Chapter 102 Northern Tourism
After leaving the space, Tian Ersan continued his low-key live stream.

[What are your thoughts on the future of the internet and the live streaming industry?]

Tian Ersan didn't want to generate buzz, but when it came to areas he was familiar with, he couldn't help but talk at length.

"Currently, the development momentum is not strong. For an industry to prosper, it must first become widespread, and the general public is the foundation."

"If we continue to focus on low-end industries, it will be difficult to achieve technological progress and improvement."

"Technology is different. The development of technology requires a series of prerequisites. It needs to be widely deployed before it can create a breeding ground and give birth to various giant companies."

"It's like playing a game. The first step is to lower the cost of internet access so that internet giants can be cultivated."

"With rising wages and the widespread use of mobile phones, live streaming and shopping apps will all move to mobile phones in the future, and mobile games will definitely be more profitable than PC games."

"The premise is that mobile phone speeds will increase and prices will decrease. When everyone can safely access the internet and play on their mobile phones, that will be the time when the internet and the country will develop rapidly."

"The 4G era should be just around the corner in the next two years. It will bring about tremendous social and economic changes and drive the development of multiple fields such as the mobile internet boom, smartphones, mobile payments, the sharing economy, online education, and entertainment."

"These changes will not only improve people's quality of life, but also lay the foundation for the future 5G and artificial intelligence era."

What is the sharing economy?

Tian Ersan shook his head. "There are too many things involved. For example, I could start a company and place hundreds of bicycles in a fixed area of ​​a city. People can use them as long as they pay. After using them, they pay with their mobile phones and then park them in another fixed area, where the bicycles will automatically lock."

"One bike can be used by many people, and whoever uses it pays for it; that's what bike sharing is all about."

What if it gets stolen?

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "This is a technical matter, involving mobile payment, smart navigation, and narrowband cellular IoT."

"It will also involve some AI algorithms and big data optimization, which can easily create a large enterprise with a market value of tens of billions or trillions."

Nobody in the live stream believed it.

[I almost believed it before, but the last sentence brought me to my senses: billions, trillions?]

Do you know what a trillion dollars means?

I believe a million, a hundred billion you might be bragging, but a trillion I think you're talking nonsense.

[Studying too much can make you stupid]

The combined value of the three internet giants doesn't even reach one trillion!

Read more books.

Do you have 100 million?

Tian Ersan didn't want to explain and casually said, "Is 100 million a lot? It's just a small goal."

Viewers in the live stream quickly offered an explanation: "The streamer really does have 100 million!"

Tian Ersan shook his head. "It's not one hundred million, nor two hundred million, it's three hundred million. I'll probably earn four hundred million this year."

【Awesome! 】

【666】

Give me some!

[Second Brother, add me as a friend]

[Host, are you still looking for women?]

……

I don't believe in a trillion dollars. Even if you earn a billion dollars a year, it would take you a thousand years to earn a trillion dollars!

"If I were willing to work hard, I could make a trillion in five years, but I have no interest in making money."

Tian Ersan looked completely indifferent, clearly showing he had no interest in making money.

Soon the atmosphere in the live stream changed. Fewer people were giving tips, and Tian Ersan went from a tragic and pitiful positive energy talent streamer to a comedic streamer.

Tian Ersan didn't care about any of that, as long as he sold a lot of clothes.

On September 20th, after informing the suppliers in advance, Tian Ersan set off with three female companions to escape the summer heat.

Zhang Shuya wore a simple yet elegant white silk shirt with a slightly open neckline that revealed her delicate collarbone. She paired it with high-waisted black wide-leg pants, the draping fabric swaying lightly with her steps, making her legs look longer and adding a touch of capable elegance.

She wore a pair of pointed nude high heels, her makeup was exquisite, her eyebrows were neat, and a touch of bright red on her lips, which complemented the pearl earrings that swayed in her ears.

Her long, wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, exuding the charm and composure of a mature woman. With a confident smile on her face, she looked like a big star.

Compared to well-dressed married women like these, Zhou Shanshan and Wang Linlin are like girls from a small town who have returned to their hometown for summer vacation.

This is just in appearance; in reality, when she's naked and lying in bed, Linlin Shanshan's skin is still better.

Wang Linlin looked nervously at the tall and spacious airplane terminal, and then nervously at Tian Ersan.

"This is my first time flying, what should I do?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Just follow me."

"Okay!" Wang Linlin nodded with relief, standing nervously yet at ease beside her peer, like a young couple out for fun.

The beautiful married woman, Zhang Shuya, was quickly defeated. She believed that she was quite pretty, had a good temperament, and was gentle and knew how to please men.

However, Tian Ersan clearly preferred the two eighteen-year-olds to her, a woman over thirty.

As I get older, I can no longer act cute; I can only take the gentle and virtuous route.

Tian Ersan comforted the two pretty girls.

“I had already looked up what to do online beforehand, and I also contacted a local guide to pick us up.”

Zhou Shanshan and Wang Linlin exchanged a glance.

Neither of them knew what a local guide was; they were just country girls with limited knowledge.

Tian Ersan explained to the two of them, "A local guide is someone who is responsible for local hospitality, which is like hiring a local tour guide."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman in a black bodycon skirt uniform walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Tian."

Upon seeing him, Tian Ersan extended his hand and asked, "Hello, who are you?"

The woman bowed slightly and reached out to shake hands with Tian Ersan.

"I am Nan Jiayun from the Beijing headquarters of Xingshang Bank. It is a pleasure to meet Mr. Tian. Our group has prepared accommodation for Mr. Tian, ​​and I am honored to be his guide."

Tian Ersan said politely, "Hello, Miss Nan, we are too conspicuous here."

"Please follow me." Nan Jiayun quickly released her hand and respectfully led the group to the separate passage.

As a social celebrity and a VIP customer with assets exceeding 100 million yuan within a month, the bank attaches great importance to this gifted young man.

Although it's impossible to arrange a private jet, first class is definitely available.

Tian Ersan handled everything calmly and quickly took his seat.

Not long after I sat down, two pretty flight attendants in uniforms walked over with smiles.

"Hello sir, what service do you need? We offer unlimited drinks, including champagne and wine, and also provide on-demand food service."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "No need, it's only an hour, it'll be over in no time. Just get them some desserts, I don't need to."

After Tian Ersan finished speaking, he took out noise-canceling headphones and a laptop, intending to take advantage of this time to handle some work.

There was nothing to say to Nan Jiayun. Tian Ersan didn't like discussing business in front of outsiders, nor did he want certain things to be leaked.

The two flight attendants left with regret.

Not long after they booked the tickets from Tian Ersan, they learned from the airport that Tian Ersan was going to take this flight.

Tian Ersan quickly started handling business on his laptop.

His typing speed is swift and light, and his expression is focused and serious.

Nan Jiayun sat in the next seat, with Wang Linlin to Tian Ersan's left and Zhang Shuya to his right.

Zhou Shanshan sat alone in the back by the window, looking out at the airport.

In one hour, the two flight attendants glanced at Tian Ersan no less than a hundred times.

Tian Ersan didn't even go to the toilet, giving the first-class flight attendants and chief flight attendant no chance to talk to or get to know him.

When it was almost time to get off the plane, Tian Ersan packed up his laptop without anyone reminding him.

Nan Jiayun asked curiously, "Is this Mr. Tian's first time flying?"

"Yes." Tian Ersan explained, "I found it online, just follow the instructions. As long as there are no special circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems."

Nan Jiayun was convinced by this reason. "That's amazing. For things like daily life and studies, there's everything online, but it feels like you often have to ask around to find out."

After being reminded, Tian Ersan said, "Indeed, when I get back, I'll film some videos and make an episode about things to pay attention to when taking a plane for the first time or going to Beijing for the first time."

"Many people probably haven't flown before, let alone flown in first class. I'll book my own ticket when I come back, and I'll just fly economy class."

Nan Jiayun nodded in agreement.

"Okay, regarding this trip, our bank..."

Tian Ersan raised his hand to stop him, then looked out the window.

"Let's talk about it when we get there; we're almost off the plane."

Nan Jiayun quickly began packing her things, preparing to disembark together. Upon arrival at the airport, a private car picked them up, and the four of them traveled to their hotel in a luxury vehicle worth millions.

Once they arrived at the hotel, Tian Ersan and Nan Jiayun sat down to talk.

Wang Linlin and Zhou Shanshan, like children who had never seen the world before, ran around the several rooms of the suite, rummaging through drawers and opening them to see what was inside.

Zhang Shuya, somewhat naive from her previous experiences, couldn't help but look around at the luxurious presidential suite.

In Nan Jiayun's eyes, Tian Ersan only glanced at her and then ignored everything else. After entering the house, he slowly sat down on the sofa, giving people a natural feeling as if he were the owner of the house.

His fair skin made Nan Jiayun, a young woman from the capital, feel a little embarrassed because her skin was somewhat yellow.

"Mr. Tian, ​​your skin is so fair, even fairer than ours."

Tian Ersan didn't think this woman was a girl, but he had seen many fifty-year-old women who called themselves girls, and he was used to women deceiving themselves with certain age-related terms.

"Men's skin is naturally lighter than women's. Women have estrogen, which stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin, thus darkening their skin."

"Men tend to look darker, mainly because they do physical labor and get tanned. I used to work outdoors a lot, exposed to the wind and sun. But after sitting in the office for more than a month, and with my faster metabolism, my skin has quickly returned to its original state."

"Generally speaking, women who sit in offices are definitely much fairer than those who sweep the streets. Work is the primary influencing factor. However, if both women work in offices, pay attention to hygiene, and have regular sleep schedules, then men should be fairer than women."

Tian Ersan was trying to reason with her, but Nan Jiayun just smiled slightly.

Seeing Nan Jiayun's expression, Tian Ersan felt an indescribable discomfort, like the polite smiles women give after someone is explaining things to them, sharing common sense, or pointing out problems at work.

Tian Ersan was a little angry, but smiled and said, "However, if one of the parents has good skin or good genes, the child is more likely to inherit those good genes."

Nan Jiayun quickly agreed, "Really?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "That's right. Just like if both parents are tall, their children are more likely to be tall as well. Some women who are not tall enough prefer to find men who are 1.85 meters tall. It's a matter of genetic selection."

They can do whatever they want, and Tian Ersan is too lazy to say anything unpleasant, so he just says what they want to hear.

Nan Jiayun nodded happily, "Then I'll definitely look for a tall man when I look for a partner in the future. Mr. Tian, ​​you look like you're 1.8 meters tall now, right?"

Tian Ersan replied, "No, I'm about 1.73 meters tall without shoes. Because I didn't get enough nutrition during puberty, I'm still growing slowly, but I definitely won't reach 1.8 meters."

His body was still developing, so Tian Ersan didn't waste his energy on women. The last half year of his development period was just over.

Nan Jiayun felt it was a pity and felt great sympathy for this handsome and strong man with a tragic background.

"If you had been born in the capital, you certainly wouldn't have encountered such a thing."

Tian Ersan smiled, but felt somewhat uncertain.

The orphan status was given by the system. Even in the capital, he would definitely be a purebred orphan. At that time, everyone would probably be even more confused as to why such a purebred orphan would appear.

In a populous and economically underdeveloped province like Zhongzhou, such a thing is surprising, but somewhat acceptable.

If a purebred orphan were to live to the age of eighteen in a place like Beijing, a place of universal kindness, and receive no social assistance, it would truly feel like something out of a fantasy.

There are far more families in the capital who want to adopt a boy than in the Central Plains. Even those with minor disabilities can be adopted, let alone a healthy boy who can speak normally.

However, the system might actually be able to create an orphan's household registration within the main urban area of ​​the Third Ring Road, and even make the child a purebred orphan uniformly certified by various departments.

Leaving a young orphan to go to school and spend his days wandering the streets and rummaging through trash cans is far more serious than embezzling lunch subsidies for tens of thousands of students; the nature of the two issues is completely different.

Fortunately, it's 2013 now; if it were 2028, this level of hype would never come down.

Beautiful women are pursued and treated kindly by those around them.

Handsome men are not bad either. It's normal for them to be pursued by precocious women and to be treated kindly by men and women around them.

Before Tian Ersan and Nan Jiayun could exchange more than a few words, there was a knock on the door.

Soon Zhang Shuya was about to go open the door when Nan Jiayun quickly got up and ran past Zhang Shuya, who was wearing high heels.

After the door opened, four men were standing outside.

It wasn't a room raid or a crackdown on prostitution; hotels of this caliber rarely have that kind of thing going on.

"Minister!" Nan Jiayun quickly made way for her.

The four men quickly entered the room, and Tian Ersan got up to greet them.

Fu Yingzhu shook hands with Tian Ersan and said happily, "It's a pleasure to meet President Tian. Our bank is very honored to have a long-term cooperation with President Tian. If you need anything during this trip to Beijing, please let us know as soon as possible. Our bank will definitely provide you with excellent service."

"You're too kind," Tian Ersan said with a smile.

Everyone quickly sat down, and Fu Yingzhuo introduced the people next to him.

"This is Professor Liu Guodong from the Admissions Office of Yenching University."

"Hello, Professor Liu," Tian Ersan greeted politely.

Professor Liu smiled and said, "We at Yenching University have discussed this and are willing to invite you to study in the Department of Economics through a special admissions program."

Tian Ersan smiled, but he clearly wasn't that happy.

“I am currently in the startup phase, and going to university would not benefit me at all. Moreover, after careful consideration, I realized that adding the name of a university would only allow me to meet some alumni, without any other help.”

"Business partners will definitely come into our lives gradually; there's no need to use school as an excuse."

"Since I've already gone out to study and start my own business, adding the name of my alma mater would only affect my reputation as an illiterate person."

“For me, reputation is very important. Joining Yenching University would give many junior and senior high school students the feeling that I have been recruited. My customer base can accept that I gain wealth and honor through scientific research achievements, but they cannot accept that I can easily detach myself from the masses.”

"All things considered, joining Yenching University would be too bad for me. I won't be affiliated with any university, otherwise I would just blend into the crowd."

"It will also affect my business."

“Other entrepreneurs can easily attach titles such as doctoral or professor from well-known universities, but I can’t. Having an extra honorary title would only do me harm.”

Professor Liu looked at Tian Ersan and carefully considered Tian Ersan's words.

Don't you want to go to university?

“There are too many people who don’t go to university, I’m not indispensable.” Tian Ersan continued, “If I go to university to study economics, will I gain more than I do now? Knowledge is priceless, but useful knowledge doesn’t necessarily have to be obtained in school. The professional knowledge you can learn in companies and factories is no worse than that in university.”

“Ordinary people don’t have this opportunity. It’s not that they don’t want it, but large companies with monthly salaries of hundreds of thousands don’t hire students like them who lack knowledge. I’m already an entrepreneur with an annual salary of two or three hundred million. I can say that the knowledge taught by teachers in school is not as good as what I can learn and study on my own.”

Professor Liu wanted to offer some advice, but he had nothing to say.

Even Yenching University would find it difficult to cultivate an entrepreneur who earns two or three hundred million a year.

Seeing that the old professor had nothing more to say, Fu Yingzhuo started talking about his own affairs.

"Is Mr. Tian here to escape the summer heat, or is he looking for partners or investors?"

Tian Ersan looked at Fu Yingzhuo, pondered for a few seconds, and then looked at him again.

"I'm here to escape the summer heat, and I'd also like to take a look at the film academy and the dance academy. Feel free to speak your mind."

Fu Yingzhuo felt a little embarrassed, but quickly and frankly stated his purpose.

"Many people are interested in the projects worth hundreds of billions or trillions that Mr. Tian mentioned, and many people also want to entertain Mr. Tian and invite him to dinner."

Tian Ersan quickly said with a warm smile, "I'll skip the dinner; I don't want to socialize. But what I said about the multi-billion dollar projects is true!"

The others quickly perked up and listened attentively.

Tian Ersan continued, "I believe our country will definitely become the world's number one power, and its economy will develop rapidly. But to achieve this, we definitely need a lot of preparatory work, such as building more base stations. I think entrepreneurs, schools, and various departments should take the lead in donating money and contribute their modest efforts to the prosperity and strength of the country."

"I plan to donate one million to the local telecom company to develop 4G network construction. If ten thousand entrepreneurs donate together, wouldn't that be ten billion?"

Fu Yingzhuo and the others quickly put on the same polite smiles as Nan Jiayun had just given.

Nobody likes to hear that.

It would be very embarrassing to hear that.

People back then weren't as patriotic as they would be a decade or two later; going abroad was the mainstream.

After a polite but not very harmonious meeting, Nan Jiayun and the others left together, leaving Tian Ersan, who had talked for a long time about his grand plan but no one paid any attention to him, to just smile silently.

After everyone left, Wang Linlin walked over and said, "Let's go eat. I don't see any restaurants outside. Is food in Beijing very expensive?"

Tian Ersan was also a little hungry. "Just have someone deliver food. Most decent hotels provide three meals a day. This presidential suite we're staying in costs over 100,000 yuan a night. Just make a phone call and someone will deliver food. I'll show you how to use it."

Tian Ersan quickly called to notify the delivery of food, and Wang Linlin, Zhou Shanshan, and Zhang Shuya all looked at it carefully.

Zhou Shanshan took photos with her phone and said excitedly, "100,000 for one night? My salary is 3,000, I want..."

Zhou Shanshan calculated her salary: three thousand a month, thirty-six thousand a year!

"I have to work for three years to be able to stay here for one night!" Zhou Shanshan felt a pang of heartache.

Tian Ersan was overjoyed to hear this. "It's free! From now on, we'll be depositing our salaries and income in the bank. To retain big clients like us, they'll offer us annual trips and small gifts."

Zhou Shanshan quickly asked, "What little gift?"

"I don't know." Tian Ersan smiled and said, "If you knew everything, what kind of gift would it be? You can just enjoy it. You're all just serving me and enjoying it as a side benefit. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you guys who earn three thousand a month."

"When you can deposit 100 million into someone's bank, you'll have everything you're entitled to."

The two eighteen-year-old girls and the woman in her thirties had mixed feelings, but they all wore happy smiles.

It doesn't matter if it's not yours, as long as you can enjoy it!
Soon after, the hotel staff came up to serve the food and introduced the names of each dish to the group.

Zhang Shuya was as elegant as a female CEO from the upper class of aristocracy, smiling as she looked at the two pretentious yet curious country girls beside her.

Tian Ersan didn't think Zhang Shuya was particularly elegant; she was just a nanny who came to help take care of two immature young women.

She was just a little older than the two country girls, and because she was willing to spend money and knew how to dress up, she was actually just as much of a country person.
