Bian Xuedao's trip to HK was unplanned.

About a month ago, Bian Xuedao sent Huo Dongfeng south to contact Zhang Xiaolong in Yangcheng.

Huo Dongfeng stayed in Yangcheng for more than half a month, and Zhang Xiaolong, a stubborn and reticent technical man, finally relented and expressed his stance to officially think about job hopping, but he had three requirements:

First, Zhang Xiaolong doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the current company TX, and hopes that Youdao will handle the relationship well.

Second, Zhang Xiaolong asked Youdao to accept other personnel from the Yangcheng R&D Department, and allowed the R&D Department to continue to stay in Yangcheng, while maintaining the "independence" of the Yangcheng R&D Department.

Third, Zhang Xiaolong asked to meet Bian Xuedao before making a formal decision.

Huo Dongfeng sent the news back to the company, and Bian Xuedao pondered in the office for more than an hour.

As long as Zhang Xiaolong is brought under his command, the research and development of WeChat will be in hand.

Synchronized with it is a series of layouts that preempt the mobile terminal.

At the moment, Weibo is eating money, video websites are eating money, IDC is eating money, Youdao Film and Television Entertainment Company is eating money, and Youdao Football Club is eating money.

Counting the investment just made in Dongxing Satellite TV, the investment in Liao Chi, the joint venture with Jiang Mingkai for 700 million yuan to buy a piece of land in Yanjing, and the 80th floor of the third phase of the International Trade Center......

Money!

Not much to spend.

Especially in the center of the number of jù, Shen Ya'an has already started to spread the net abroad, and eating money is faster than burning paper money with fire.

And also......

The big earthquake is coming.

A few months ago, Bian Xuedao asked Liu Yisong to buy his own pharmacies, supermarkets and outdoor stores in Sishan.

By the beginning of April, Liu Yisong had personally acquired seven pharmacies, 10 supermarkets, eight outdoor stores and several storage warehouses in Si Son Province.

These are the "material reserve points" prepared by Bian Xuedao.

There is only so much to prepare.

He has the money, but if he continues to buy, he will respond to the principle that "if something goes wrong, there must be a demon".

Not only will it be noticed by those who care about it, but it can also make Liu Yisong and other subordinates suspicious.

In fact, Liu Yisong has already asked Bian Xuedao why he bought such an "unrelated" industry as pharmacies, supermarkets, and outdoor stores.

In addition, Liu Yisong also asked Bian Xuedao, "Why not use the name of the group to acquire?"

Bian Xuedao explained that the reason to Liu Yisong was very "far-fetched", he said: "The four brothers of the Bian family, benevolence, righteousness and morality, he has always insisted on not letting his family members enter the company, but he can't take care of his brothers at all, these three industries are prepared for the three brothers in advance." ”

After Bian Xuedao finished speaking, Liu Yisong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and he was still confused.

Three brothers, three industries, this is right.

But why buy it in Sishan, why not buy it in Songjiang or Yanjing?

Also, such a big rich man gives his brother's property to pharmacies, supermarkets, and outdoor stores?

There were still a few questions, but Liu Yisong didn't ask more.

Bian Xuedao is willing to give him an explanation is already very face-saving, do you still have to break the casserole and ask in the end, you must let the boss admit that he is insincere?

If Liu Yisong's EQ is so low, where can he be today?

In Bian Xuedao's heart, reserve materials are "small money", and the real place to use money is after the earthquake.

In the previous life, Jiaduobao Group donated 100 million yuan at the CCTV disaster relief party.

As the only enterprise that donated hundreds of millions of yuan, Jia Duobao became famous all over the country overnight and shaped the company's golden reputation.

This golden word of mouth not only greatly boosted the sales of Jiaduobao products, but also played a positive role in the disputes between Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji in the future.

100 million yuan has become an indelible shining stroke in the history of Jiaduobao Group, which can be said to be "endless benefits".

In this life, this kind of good deed, which not only does good deeds, but also shows his face and shapes his reputation, is not ready to be given to Jia Duobao.

Jia Duobao will give 100 million, and there will be 200 million.

If someone gives 400 million, there is a way to give 500 million, anyway, it is to be the enterprise that pays the most money at the disaster relief party.

Of course, the probability of "competition" out to 500 million is very low.

Because the money of private companies is not blown by the wind.

And the example of the previous life is there, the earthquake is not only this time, the natural disaster is endless, donate 100 million this time, and the next time there is a natural disaster, someone will coerce public opinion and ask you to donate another 100 million. This is something that anyone who can make the company bigger.

But what......

In this plane, the idea of learning the Tao is different from everyone else's.

No matter how real his senses are here, he, like Zhu Haishan, always has a sense of spectatorship, illusion and play.

It's okay when he's busy, but once he's alone at night, there's always a voice in the depths of his soul that reminds him repeatedly-

- You don't belong here!

- You're an outsider!

- You're a cheater!

- You're an anomaly!

The intersection of memory and reality, the reverse flow of time and parallel space, give birth to a kind of obsessive "unreal" confusion in the world that is obviously real to the extreme.

Because of this, whether it is Zhu Haishan or Bian Xuedao, there is a similar expression of split personality.

They are just as cautious and paranoid and crazy as they are.

They are just as afraid of changing the trajectory of fate, and they are eager to challenge fate.

They all want to leave something in this time and space, but they are afraid that the imprint they leave is too deep for later generations to see through.

They are just as affectionate and just as ruthless.

Amorous, is true to yourself. Ruthless, but also true to yourself.

Several times, Bian Xuedao thought about saving people in the earthquake regardless of the situation, but he retreated, he was afraid that he would lose what he had now after "exposing himself", and he was also afraid that he would not be able to bear so much cause and effect.

Anyone who has watched "The Terminator" and similar movies will understand that a person's life and death can have a huge impact on future generations.

The movie is fictional, but the logic is not wrong.

Even if it is to save people, there is also cause and effect.

If you think about it rationally, you can make it clear that there are good people and bad people in society, and there is no doubt about it. In the same way, those who die in natural disasters must also have good people and bad people.

If you want to learn the Tao on the side, saving people can be regarded as "saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter".

But what about saving the wicked?

A wicked person who should have died of a natural disaster saved him, and in the future, he lost his conscience, did evil, and even killed people, endangering the society.

Killing and saving are cause and effect!

So, he only tried his best to save part of it.

The earthquake-resistant school building was built to save the children because the children are still malleable, and the probability of becoming heinous villains is relatively low.

And the other people, let it be!

If they have a big life, then there is a reason for a big life.

To sum up, Bian Xuedao came to a conclusion - money is needed!

That's basically all the investment before the earthquake, and how much money will be needed after the earthquake is really unclear for a while.

According to Bian Xuedao's initial idea, after the earthquake, Youdao Group donated 200 million yuan (more than Jia Duobao in the previous life), and he personally donated another 200 million, plus the expenditure of other channels, it is estimated that 500 million is the starting price.

500 million yuan, you can get it while learning the way. This money, he had been preparing to come out a long time ago, and he never moved.

However, from the perspective of group development, in a few months, there will be a way of diversified development, and the capital chain will be tight.

Songjiang's reserve land has been mortgaged to the bank for loans, and listing for cash is an inevitable choice.

………………

The trip to HK paved the way for the listing, and also met Zhang Xiaolong on the way.

Wu Sijie and Hong Chengfu set up a strong team of consultants, and basically liberated Bian Xuedao in terms of route formulation and negotiation strategies.

To be honest, although Bian Xuedao has grown a lot, excluding the "prophet", his theoretical level and specific business ability are far behind these investment banking elites and professional managers.

It's normal to have gaps.

The subordinates are busy to death, and it is normal for the boss to be youzai.

To put it mildly, this is called "cannibalism, the thing of the dead." ”

At best, this is called "leaving professional things to professional people." ”

To put it bluntly, one sentence -- "Why do you pay a salary? Why do you pay a high salary? If the boss does all the work, what do you ask you to do?"

So, Bian Xuedao, Li Bing and the other two bodyguards went back to the hotel first.

In the mainland, Bian Xuedao can rest assured that he only has Li Bing by his side.

But not HK. This realm looks very civilized, but in fact, there are a lot of wild roads, and it is not practical to take two people around without it.

This is the first time Bian Xuedao has stayed at the InterContinental HK Hotel, and he is really amazed.

The amazement happens at the moment you walk into the lobby - a space more than 30 meters high, with nearly 270-degree floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and a beautiful view of Victoria Harbour.

At dusk.

Bian Xuedao walked out of the room, went down to the hotel lobby lounge, ordered a "Kowloon Club" cocktail, sat in the corner of the lounge, looking at the sea of Victoria Harbour reflected by the sunset, the beautiful scenery and fine wine complemented each other, and enjoyed a rare leisure.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, "A Symphony of Lights" started on time.

In the room, Bian Xuedao held a red wine glass in his hand, leaned on the soft beauty couch in front of the window, comfortably enjoyed the gorgeous light show on the other side, and deeply felt that this was life.

This is life!

I am comfortable......

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door.
