352. Go home for the New Year
When Ning Yuan came back from his three-day performance in Shi Province, Ma Yun also brought two people to find Ning Yuan.
One is Cai Chongxin, the other is Peng Lei, both of whom are Ma Yun's right-hand men, in the future, these two are the deputy of Ali's board of directors, and the other is the chief talent officer, both of whom are influential figures.
Ning Yuan thought it was that old grandson before, but when he thought about it, he only invested much, and that venture capital is now tens of millions of dollars, and it is estimated that he can't work for his big driver.
At this time, their company was not big, and even Ma Yun didn't have much momentum, not to mention the two of them, seeing Ning Yuan, a big star who had only been seen on TV before, the two were a little curious and restrained at first, but they quickly got used to it.
After all, they are not ordinary people, especially this Cai Chongxin, but he has a bachelor's degree in economics and a doctorate in law from Yale, before joining Ali in 99, he already has an annual salary of 700,000 US dollars, an absolute high-end talent, but he resolutely gave up choosing to believe in Ali, who has an uncertain future, and it turns out that he is really unique.
Of course, this is also a mutual achievement, because of his arrival, Ali officially standardized operation, otherwise even if Ma Yun is excellent, Ali can only grow into a family business, and will always maintain the team with "feelings", "ideals" and "righteousness".
But for venture capital, in addition to good ideas, standardized systems and excellent promotion mechanisms are more valued by them, and in fact, Ali's first angel investment, $5 million from Goldman Sachs, was also brought by Cai Chongxin, because of this investment, Ali received Sun Zhengyi's attention.
This Ma Yun's peers, all thirty-eight years old this year, speak differently from Ma Yun's fast talk, but have a gentle voice, elegant temperament, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and looks more like a scholar, but what he often says is always full of sharp finishing touches.
Even, when Cai Chongxin finally got up and shook hands, when Cai Chongxin welcomed Ning Yuan to join, he also had a demagogic taste: "Becoming a family means that we will become the pioneers of the future Chinese Internet industry and witness the birth of a miracle together." ”
If it is a person from a later generation and does not know his future achievements, he may be regarded as a pyramid schemer.
It seems that the boss who doesn't fool is not a good general?
And Peng Lei, as one of the few female executives in Ali's eighteen Arhats, has always had a faint smile and rarely spoke, but his eyes have never left Ning Yuan, not because of the attention to celebrities, but as a kind of scrutiny that Ning Yuan can't say.
Although at this time, she was not yet thirty-one years old.
Ning Yuan paid for this meal, Ma Yun and the others excused themselves and didn't say anything, really let some details know, and it is estimated that it is another theory such as "you can see the ...... from this little thing".
But it is not unreliable to weigh a person with details, but it can only be used as one of the references, just like a scholar will be hysterical about his parents and family, and a tattooed man will patiently teach his children to do something.
Ning Yuan doesn't like those who are detail-oriented, especially some women, once Ning Yuan was "You can even ...... such a trivial thing It can be seen that the words ...... in your heart have hurt, and you don't even have a chance to explain.
Ning Yuan didn't get married in his previous life, but it doesn't mean that he has no emotional experience, besides, he has no emotional experience at the age of forty, how autistic or open is his heart?
However, this kind of experience is not necessarily a bad thing, just like he can teach Ning Yuan to become more mature and think more comprehensively, of course, it will sometimes make him indecisive and hesitate.
"From now on, they will be brothers. Ma Yun did not forget to deepen his relationship with Ning Yuan, and then hugged Ning Yuan heavily under the gaze of Cai Chongxin and Peng Lei.
With a wave of his hand, Ning Yuan put them in a taxi to the airport.
As for Ning Yuan's idea, it is to use his own endorsement of Ali as equity.
With Ning Yuan's fame and image, none of them had any objections, but were very excited.
After performing a drama in the capital for a few days, Ning Yuan also drove home and started his first self-driving trip home.
This year, because the performance of "The Good People of Sichuan Province" is a large-scale drama, the schedule is not so full, and Ning Yuan also went home earlier than in previous years.
And because he drove himself, Ningyuan purchased more than before.
On the way back, Ning Yuan thought a lot, just like when we take the old road when we are adults, we will always miss the feeling of passing this road when we were young.
When he used to go to school, Ning Yuan, like other classmates, always felt that the holidays passed quickly.
Of course, the other classmates haven't had enough fun, so they are about to start catching up with their winter vacation homework, but Ning Yuan is different, their brothers and sisters basically finished their homework not long after they were sent, and the rest of the time, they either helped Ning Daqiang work, or went out to pick up scrap and sell it.
Generally, after entering the wax moon, Ning Daqiang's business will be much better than usual, and he will work harder.
Since the end of the 80s, many people in Lingshan County have gone out to work, and by the 90s there were even more, and at the end of the year, they would come back for the New Year.
This migratory bird-like migration has also made all the merchants in my hometown do much better business than usual, not just selling tofu.
In addition, Ning Yuan and Ning Yu, the two eldest children, will also go out to do odd jobs - not the kind of work nature in later generations, they are really idle odd jobs.
Because many people usually work outside and don't come back until the end of the year, many people like to put weddings and happy events in Layue in order to have a lively time.
The wedding banquet is generally two to three days of flowing water banquet, most of them are made near the home with a shed stove, although the helper's boiling water, serving dishes, picking vegetables, etc. are their own people, but generally as the chef's master will be hired.
The master in charge of cooking hundreds of people's meals is really not good for ordinary people.
And these masters in charge of the case will bring three or four people as his helpers, and Ning Yuan's odd jobs are these helpers.
Because there is not a banquet every day, most people will choose double days, so after the holiday, Ningyuan can only operate for so many times, but they can always make some money, and the rest of the time is to collect waste products, and at the end of the year, the consumption of many people is not small, and they can pick up a lot.
At that time, the happiest days were at the end, when not only could I receive my salary, but also the leftovers I asked for from the owner - although there was no concept of packing at that time, Ning Yuan had already practiced it.
Generally, when the owner saw that such a handsome young man wanted leftovers, he would naturally understand Ning Yuan's family, and with sympathy, he would also give him some unused materials.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan felt full of nostalgia.
Nostalgia, like people imagining the future, supports them all the way forward, just like Ma Yun's ambition and inner cowardice, out of cowardice and acceptance of the past, in order to imagine the future and realize their ambitions.
Unconsciously, from National Highway 107 to the north, to the intersection of Xinyi and National Highway 312, Ningyuan turned around and headed east.
