Chapter 18: Reactions

On New Year's Day, it snowed in the capital, and the wind was blowing, and the temperature was lower than 10 ° in the morning, which was particularly cold, but after Jiang You and Du Qiu finished talking on the phone, their blood was surging, and they didn't feel cold at all, so they returned to the bus stop and enjoyed the two print advertising posters posted side by side again.

On the left side of the poster is a black and white portrait of Einstein, with messy hair, wide eyes, and sticking out his tongue; on the right is a black and white life photo of Du Qiu, wearing a plaid shirt, sitting in a computer chair, typing on this laptop, and in the upper right corner of the two posters, there are Snapdragon's colorful logos, and the advertising slogans "Think-different" and "Think-different" are written in Chinese and English respectively.

The whole poster is unique in creativity, strong contrast, and unforgettable at first sight, but what really made Jiang You's heart surging and decided to jump ship to Snapdragon was the copywriting below the poster: Only people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world can truly change the world.

Jiang You couldn't tell what was good about this advertising slogan, but he felt that every word on the advertising slogan was like a fluffy spider, crawling everywhere in his heart, weaving webs everywhere, making him itchy to madness and suffocation, so he changed his character of being afraid of his wife like a tiger, and called Du Qiu directly, wanting to jump ship in the way of cutting first and then playing.

People come and go at the bus stop sign, the river is endless, but every pedestrian has noticed the existence of this advertisement, and the people who eat melons waiting for the bus are gathered together, pointing at the advertisement, and commenting on the head, some of them appreciate, some gossip, some touch, and some disdain.

"The subtle use of the word extraordinary, a pun on the word, not only expresses the extraordinary, but also expresses the ...... Snapdragon is different"

"I found that Du Qiu is quite handsome from the side, hey, you said to change his hairstyle, it doesn't look like Dawn?"

"Du Qiu is so powerful, because he has been abroad since he was a child, and his ideas are different from those students in China who have received cramming education and have no innovative thinking......"

"This idiot made a few bucks and got carried away, Einstein changed the world with the theory of relativity, what did he change?"

Jiang was hot-headed at this time, like an avid fan who was reluctant to leave after watching a movie starring an idol, and stayed at the door of the theater to listen to the commentary, pointed to the text faintly visible on the laptop screen on the poster, and argued: "Du Qiu changed the world with open source software theory. ”

"What is open source software? Isn't he selling some browser?"

"Well, let's put it this way, open source ......" Jiang You explained a few words, only to find that the person had never touched a computer and could not understand the meaning of open source, so he equated it with piracy, so he had to give up and said: "If you don't understand the specific concept, forget it, anyway, you just need to know that it is important and is changing the world." ”

"Damn! Take a fancy name and make some theories that no one understands, isn't it just trying to fool people to make money?"

"The name of the theory of relativity is fancy, don't you understand? If you don't understand, Einstein is also fooling you to make money, right?"

Jiang You has a gentle and introverted personality, rarely deals with strangers, and does not mock people at will, but at this moment he rarely complained about the person, and then did not wait for the bus, directly called a taxi, went to a nearby shopping mall to buy two bottles of Moutai and two good cigarettes, and went straight to his father-in-law's house - he is not a native of the capital, and he has to go back to his hometown during the Spring Festival, so he has to accompany his wife back to his parents' house every New Year's Day, Yu Shuqin went back first last night, he couldn't leave because of something at school, and dragged it until this morning.

Yu Shuqin's mother's family is in Zhaoyang District, her father works as a civil servant in a government agency, and her mother works in a monopoly state-owned enterprise.

After Yu Shuqin went to visit Cloud City, she was already tempted, but after returning to the capital, she was nagged by her parents, and changed her mind, saying that she would think about it again, so that Jiang You was helpless, and it was not until this morning that he was stimulated by the advertisement, so he made his own decision.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yu Shuqin's sister Yu Shuzheng wearing a plush coat, standing in the middle of the living room, and said in a show-off tone: "Dad, my husband is going to Hong Kong on a business trip next week, if you want to buy something, hurry up and say, I'll let him bring it for you when I go back!"

"I don't have anything to buy, but a couple of Corey's colleagues keep saying they want to find someone to buy things in Hong Kong, and I ask them what they want to buy and make a list for you. ”

"You can only buy small things, but you can't buy big ones, and the quantity is limited, so you can't bring more. Yu Shuzheng saw Jiang You coming in, glanced at the cigarettes and alcohol he brought, exaggeratedly sighed, and said, "Brother-in-law, have you increased your salary?" ”

Yu Shuzheng is only one year younger than Yu Shuqin, the two sisters have liked to compete since childhood, her husband is a sales manager of a joint venture, with a lot of income, and he doesn't look down on Jiang You, a university teacher, and Jiang You doesn't like her money-worshipping philistine nature, so the relationship between the two is not very good, ignoring the sarcasm in her tone, putting cigarettes and alcohol on the coffee table, and greeting her father-in-law: "Dad, I wish you good health and good luck in the New Year." ”

My father-in-law is a civil servant, he loves face very much, and he values the social status of Jiang You's famous school teacher very much, so he usually has a good attitude towards him, and when he saw that the cigarettes and alcohol he brought were high-end goods, his face was satisfied, and he said with a pleasant face: "You and Xiaoqin have been married for several years, what are you doing with these false etiquette, and you will take it back and return it, save the money, and buy milk powder for your son in the future." ”

"Don't be Dad, it's rare for my brother-in-law to buy a good wine, so let's just drink it at noon. ”

"If you want to drink it, drink one bottle, and let your brother-in-law take the other bottle and return it. ”

As the saying goes, money is a hero's courage, Jiang You grew up in the countryside since he was a child, his family was poor, and the salary of being a teacher in school was not high, and he was indeed a little stingy in his previous life, but after deciding to jump ship to Snapdragon, his income would skyrocket dozens of times, so his mentality was like sitting on a somersault cloud and went straight to the sky, waving his hand and saying: "No, since Xiaozheng is in high spirits, drink both bottles at noon, if it is not enough, I will buy two more bottles later."

"Yo, brother-in-law, why are you so generous today, didn't you buy a lottery ticket and win the jackpot?"

Jiang You was used to being sarcastic by her, so he didn't bother to take care of it, so he went to the bedroom to look at his son who was still asleep, and then came out and asked, "Where are my mother and Xiaoqin?"

"Your mother's unit has temporarily arranged for her to be on duty, and she will come back at 11 o'clock at noon, Xiaoqin has gone grocery shopping, she should be back soon." ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this time Yu Shuqin happened to come back, after she entered the door, she threw away the bag containing vegetables, waved a newspaper, and shouted: "Yuzu, do you know how much money Qin Mu took last night?" 350,000!"

"What 350,000?"

"Snapdragon sent a year-end bonus of 350,000 yuan to Qin Mu!"

Even if it is a wholly-owned enterprise of the world's top 500 companies in China, it is impossible to issue a year-end bonus of more than 300,000 yuan. Yu Shuzheng didn't believe it at all, and questioned: "Sister, what pheasant newspaper did you read it from?"

"Science and Technology Daily, an authentic national media, is not a pheasant newspaper. Yu Shuqin glanced at her, then held up the newspaper to Jiang You, and said: ""The Myth of Knowledge Heroes Creating Wealth" Here, Du Qiu's year-end bonus is 5 million, and the year-end bonus of Yang Fan and Qin Mu is 350,000 yuan or an Audi car. ”

"Xiaoqin, show me. ”

Jiang You was about to take the newspaper and read it carefully, but his father-in-law took the first step to take it, so he had to gather next to him to read it together, Rao is he usually doesn't care much about money, and when he saw the other number on the report, he couldn't help but gasp, and said: "The overall valuation of Snapdragon is 20 billion? ”

The father-in-law, who was intently watching the report, raised his head sharply and asked, "How much do you say he took?!"

"40 million. Jiang You had a good attitude and no jealousy, and explained: "When Snapdragon was first founded, he was short of money and couldn't open a high salary, so he gave Qin Mu and several of his founding employees 1% of the company's shares as an option reward, as long as they worked for three years, they could get it, and then after several rounds of financing, 1% was diluted to 0.2%, 0.2% multiplied by 20 billion, which is 40 million." ”

"Good girl! 40 million in 3 years, Qin Mu is really shit luck, pies fell from the sky, and he picked up ......"

In the exclamation of envy and jealousy, Yu Shuqin was sad, hugged Jiang You's arm, and whispered with tears: "Yuzu, if you didn't listen to me at that time, you can make so much money by going to Snapdragon with Qin Mu." ”

"Alas, brother-in-law, why did you say you were so stupid at the beginning, my sister has long hair and knowledge......"

"Shut up. Jiang You turned his head and scolded his sister-in-law, then stroked his wife's back and comforted: "Everyone has their own fate, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is my own decision, at that time, the project that I had been busy with for two years in the school was about to be completed, and I was reluctant to leave." ”

"But, but ......"

Yu Shuqin was full of remorse, she was about to collapse, her legs were weak like noodles, tears flowed out uncontrollably, choked and didn't know what to say, Jiang You half-hugged and half-helped her to send her to the sofa to sit down, and then said softly: "Xiaoqin, don't cry, it's still too late to go to Snapdragon, I called Du Qiu in the morning, and he said that he would send someone to sign a contract with me later." ”

"Woooooooooo......oo You didn't lie to me?"

"When did I lie to you. Jiang You wiped the tears on Yu Shuqin's face with his palm, and said with a smile: "Du Qiu also said that he would give you a fire extinguisher." ”

"What did he send me a fire extinguisher for?"

"You'll find out later. Jiang You sold it, got up and poured a cup of hot water for Yu Shuqin, and after her mood stabilized, she said to her father-in-law: "Dad, I decided to jump ship to Snapdragon, you don't object, right?"

The father-in-law was silent, picked up the newspaper and read the report twice, and then said: "Xiao Jiang, I used to oppose you to change jobs, because I was worried that Snapdragon would not go far, but now they have not only got an order from the State Administration of Taxation, but also are preparing to go public in the United States, the climate has become a climate, if you really want to go, let Xiaoqin quit her job and take your children to go to Cloud City with you." ”

Yu Shuzheng took the newspaper from his father's hand, glanced at it a few times, and then asked with a smile on his face: "Brother-in-law, can you also get 40 million shares if you jump ship to Snapdragon now?"

"Well...... this" Jiang You originally wanted to tease his sister-in-law, but when he saw his wife looking at him with tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear it, so she revealed the answer: "Qin Mu went to Snapdragon at that time to send charcoal in the snow, so he can take so many stocks, and I go to Snapdragon now is the icing on the cake, it is no longer expensive, Du Qiu promised me the option reward in the morning is only 5 million, and I can only get it after working for 5 years." ”

"5 million is enough, congratulations to my brother-in-law for becoming a millionaire!" Yu Shuzheng applauded and said: "No wonder my brother-in-law bought Moutai and came over, it turned out to be to celebrate with us, and the two bottles at noon must be drunk, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

Although 5 million is not as good as 40 million, it is far better than getting nothing, Yu Shuqin's mood suddenly improved a lot, wiped her face with a tissue, got up and said, "I'll go to the vegetable market again and buy a few more vegetables and come back." ”

"Sister, you've become a flower-faced cat, let's rest at home, I'll buy it." ”

Yu Shuzheng went to the vegetable market, bought a few delicacies of the mountains and seas that he was usually reluctant to eat, and when he returned to the community, he saw a Mercedes-Benz S600 parked downstairs, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly took three steps and two steps to climb to the fifth floor, opened the door and looked, sure enough, it was Snapdragon's person who came to sign a contract with Jiang You, but she was one step late, the contract had been signed, and the man was carrying a briefcase and was about to leave.

"Mr. Liu, it's past ten o'clock, let's stay for a light meal. Jiang You's father-in-law warmly retained, pointed at Yu Shuzheng and said: "The dishes have been bought, Xiaoqin and her sisters are skillful, and they cook very quickly." ”

"No, I'm a postman today, and I still have a dozen work contracts to deliver. Liu Yunlai and Jiang You have met many times, and said very familiarly: "In the future, I will be colleagues with Yuzu, and I will have the opportunity to eat, and when the time comes, my uncle will not think that I eat too much." ”

"That can't be, Mr. Liu told Xiao Jiang before he came, I'll buy two more rice cookers. Jiang You's father-in-law is a socializer, and while enthusiastically sending Liu Yunlai downstairs, he inquired, "Why do so many people want to sign a contract with Snapdragon today?"

"Some of them were signed by us on New Year's Day to build momentum for the company's advertising, and some of them, like Yuzu, were moved by our advertising and decided to sign a contract temporarily. Liu Yunlai didn't hide it from him, and complimented him with a smile: "Like Yuzu, it means that we have a fate with Snapdragon and have a good heart, and we will definitely be able to work together to make a career that attracts the attention of the world in the future." ”

"Cheng Liu Ji Yan, I hope so. ”
