Chapter 078: Only Talking About Ambitious People
After giving Lin Lisong the task of the stock market through a transoceanic telephone, Ren Pingsheng immediately set off to return to China, this time he did not follow the previous route, and flew back to Hanhai City directly, but flew to Hong Kong first, and then went to Huacheng City after entering Shenzhen-Hong Kong City from Luohu Port.
Because another online game opportunity he is optimistic about is in Huacheng, this time Ren Pingsheng decided to go out to talk about it himself.
The meeting was much smoother than expected, perhaps because the scale of Jinshan Versatile was still relatively small, and Xu Tao was not like many old gamers who had been famous for a long time, Ren Pingsheng quickly made an appointment with him to meet in a teahouse in Tianhu District.
As soon as Xu Tao sat down, he beckoned to the boss and asked for barbecued pork buns, rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, roasted wheat, roast pigeon, etc., if it wasn't already past noon, Ren Pingsheng would really think that he hadn't eaten today.
Judging from Xu Tao's tone and gestures, he is very familiar with this teahouse, and while ordering food, he also introduced each tea to Ren Pingsheng.
"Roast pigeon is the signature dish of this house, the brine of this store is exclusive, the copied pigeon is particularly fragrant, and the price is not expensive, only 8 yuan a piece. ”
"The price of roast pigeon has risen, and it costs 10 yuan for a serving. The owner of the teahouse whispered on the side.
"What the hell, don't you write here 'civilian price, delicious enjoyment, no bullying for children, real price for many years', how can you say that the price will be raised?" Xu Tao was obviously very sensitive to the price figures, and opened his mouth to quarrel with the boss.
The owner of the teahouse pointed to the counter and said with a sad face: "Boss, this is indeed the real price for me, and it has been written on the menu." ”
Ren Pingsheng followed his fingers and saw that the greasy menu did have the latest price pasted on red paper, proving that what the owner of the teahouse said was true.
"Your words are so small, who can see them. ”
Although Xu Tao felt that he was at a loss, he did not have the slightest apology in his mouth, but raised his voice.
The owner of the teahouse didn't dare to compete with him, so he had to mumble quietly.
"Prices have risen so much, and the bird flu in Hong Kong has spread again, so if I don't raise prices, I will lose money. ”
Ren Pingsheng saw that it was not a problem, took out three hundred-yuan bills and put them on the table, and said to the teahouse owner with a helpless face.
"Okay, boss, you will serve the best refreshments in the store first, and the more money will be counted later, and the less will make up for you. ”
The face of the teahouse owner suddenly turned cloudy, he promised repeatedly, and was about to reach out to get the money on the table, but was snatched away by Xu Tao.
Xu Tao pinched the banknote in the palm of his hand, glared at the owner of the teahouse and said, "All the refreshments in your store are served, and you don't want two hundred yuan. ”
The eyes of the teahouse owner seemed to be on Xu Tao's hands, and he looked at them a few more times with some reluctance, and then he reluctantly dragged his steps away.
"It's okay, I'm in for a treat today, and I can love as much as I want. Ren Pingsheng said comfortingly.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Ren Pingsheng does not like to embarrass the low-level people, whether it is to open a teahouse or a snack bar, he has to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and earn hard-earned money.
It is not easy for ordinary people to make a living, as long as they are not forced to buy and sell, steal a small amount of catties, and take care of other aspects if they can take care of them.
It's a pity that Xu Tao is not a generous lord, maybe because he is used to living a poor life, even if he is now famous, he will also care about these small money.
Ren Pingsheng saw the media interview with Xu Tao in his previous life, he was born in Jiangcheng City, Jingchu Province in 1977, and his family was not bad when he was a child, but because his mother was mentally ill, the mother and son were abandoned by their father, and they suddenly fell to the bottom of society.
Due to his family, Xu Tao went to a technical school after graduating from junior high school, but he didn't even graduate from a technical school, so he went out to work.
Xu Tao did not go to college, nor did he receive a more advanced education, but only with his love and talent for games, he broke out of the world.
But when he was in Luoyi, he was always suppressed by the highly educated management, and the boss of Luoyi was not a generous person, although the game planned by Xu Tao made a lot of money, but he didn't make much money himself.
After leaving Luoyi, Xu Tao took the investment of Jinshan, but he still had dozens of people to raise, and he had to rush to work and strive for early operation, so he didn't have much spare money to spend and improve his life.
On the other hand, Xu Tao has not caught up with the trend of the times in terms of concept, whether it is his view of money or his attitude towards life, in fact, there is not much difference from the small customer service back then.
The habits and mindsets that arise in the environment in which you grow up will stay with you throughout your life and will not change due to changes in circumstances.
However, these are not important to Ren Pingsheng, what he needs is the value that this person and his team can create, and he is too lazy to care about the rest.
However, understanding Xu Tao's life experience and personality was very helpful for Ren Pingsheng to convince him.
He ate refreshments as he observed the gobbling man across from him.
This man is nearly thirty years old, with a perennial inch head, a slight baldness on the top of his head, not tall, not lightweight, nothing outstanding from facial features to body shape, messy hair, dark circles under his two small eyes that often stay up late, and the whole person is like the suit on his body that is obviously one size larger, abrupt and rustic.
Even in the house, Xu Tao also buttoned the three buttons of the suit tightly, and the suit did not match a shirt and tie like a working man, but wore a T-shirt with a collar coolly, but the neckline was too tight and loosened all the buttons, and it looked as if there was nothing under the suit from a distance.
Although he doesn't know how to wear clothes at all, but these clothes are all catchy brand-name goods in China, the suit is a native French brand Mengtejiao, and the T-shirt has a huge polo pattern.
In just a few glances, Ren Pingsheng has already seen Xu Tao's ambition to be recognized by the outside world.
Whether it was self-recommendation when he was a customer service in Luoyi, or he was dissatisfied with the treatment and left Luoyi to start a business, this man was always unwilling to be under others.
His dress, his speech, including his naming of the company as "versatile" as opposed to "Luoyi", all highlight his desire to succeed, his desire to get rid of the nightmare brought to him by his background, and his ambition to impress Luoyi and Yu Xin.
This kind of vigorous ambition is no stranger to Ren Pingsheng, because so is he himself.
In the secular evaluation, "ambition" is a derogatory term, but Ren Pingsheng feels that it is the opposite, ambitious people can succeed, and if you want to get ahead, you must have ambition.
A person's ambition determines the upper limit of what he can achieve in the future.
Ambition can help you overcome obstacles in your life's journey, ambition can teach you not to lose your way in good times, not to give up in times of difficulty, and ambition can also make you unmoved in the face of temptation.
Ambitious people have a greater possibility to tap into the potential in their lives, inspire all possible forces, and create great things that are unimaginable to mortals.
"The stage is as big as the ambition. ”
Ren Pingsheng will not look down on him because of his character flaws, on the road of chasing wealth, morality, love, and conformity are not a plus, and there are very few people who can succeed with perfect morality, but those who are ambitious, bold, and dare to do things have finally achieved rich returns.
Like the domestic commercial real estate tycoon Wang Moumou, who borrowed state-owned capital to establish a real estate company, and then turned it into a private enterprise through shareholding reform, at that time he took the risk of embezzling state-owned assets, but Wang Moumou dared to do so, and finally succeeded, this is his superiority.
Like Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook, the company used various means along the way from the beginning of the initial to the eventual listing, coercion, inducement, and everything, kicked out all partners and early investors, and monopolized 24% of Facebook's shares and $74 billion in wealth.
Not to mention the bunch of rich people in Hong Kong, almost everyone's family history is full of the words "cunning and grabbing".
The ancient adage "Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth", which is a summary of thousands of years of traditional wisdom. On the road to wealth, it is often difficult for people who are overly evaluated in the unexpected world and those who attach too much importance to affection and righteousness to do things in a forward-looking and backward manner.
Ren Pingsheng believed that he had found another person of his kind, and the next thing to do was to use his ambition and ability for his own use.
