Chapter 147: The First Meeting of Yangcheng
The place where Jiang Hui asked Li Xingping to meet was a tea restaurant. Neither of them was born in a family of ordinary people, and they are not averse to choosing to have morning tea and talk about things in such a lively restaurant. After all, this is only the first contact, everyone first understands, and then convey their intentions to complete the first mission.
When you go to the popular tea meal in Wuyang for morning tea, you generally have to wait for a seat. For this reason, Jiang Hui arrived at the restaurant half an hour early, and sure enough, it was already crowded, and after waiting for more than 20 minutes, it was finally Jiang Hui's turn.
Although Wuyang is a first-tier city, the pace of work and life is not slow, but due to the influence of Hong Kong and Hong Kong, everyone is very leisurely when drinking morning tea, and there is no hurry at all. Eating in one or two hours is considered fast, and eating in three or four hours is not fast at all. There are even some uncles and aunts who order a few meals with a pot of tea, stay from morning to evening, and chat with a group of people there.
At the beginning of his previous life, Jiang Hui never knew what it meant to drink morning tea. After actually drinking it, you will know that it is originally eating snacks and drinking tea. It's just that these snacks are more delicate. Slowly, Jiang Hui himself also liked this way of drinking morning tea, when friends came on a business trip or play, as long as he was free, he would always take them to taste Cantonese morning tea.
Li Xingping arrived at the point, and Jiang Hui got up to pick him up after receiving his call and knowing that he arrived at the door.
Jiang Hui recognized Li Xingping at a glance, a little thin, but he couldn't see anything particularly brilliant from his appearance, no one would have imagined that just such a person, with an income of seven or eight hundred thousand yuan a month, would soon become a multimillionaire, and he would be a billionaire in the future.
"Mr. Li, hello! I'm Jiang Hui. I'm sorry for asking you out to meet you so recklessly," Jiang Hui said to Li Xingping.
"Ah, you are Jiang Hui, the founder of the school's intranet and Guanghui Games, Jiang is so young," Li Xingping said.
"Let's go sit down and talk about each other!" Jiang Hui made a gesture of invitation and came to the seat with Li Xingping.
"Mr. Li, you are more experienced, see which snacks are better, recommend and recommend?", Jiang Hui gave the menu to Li Xingping and said.
"It's rare that Mr. Jiang chooses my favorite place, then I'm not welcome! Let's have a shrimp dumpling, steamed pork ribs with soy sauce, chicken feet, radish cake, beef sausage, boat porridge, and then a boiled cabbage heart. That's all, what else does Mr. Jiang want to add?", Li Xingping ticked the corresponding place on the menu, and then handed it back to Jiang Hui and said.
Tea restaurants are generally semi-self-service ordering, the store gives a menu to the customer, the customer himself ticks the box in front of the dish he sees, and then calls the waiter to place the order after ordering. Another interesting thing is that these dim sum are not directly marked with the price, but use small points, middle points, large points, super points, vertices and the like to express the price. Of course, the corresponding price is indicated in the column at the bottom. Jiang Hui didn't understand whether this habit was copied from Hong Kong or whether it was to reduce customers' sensitivity to prices and promote consumption, anyway, every morning tea shop Jiang Hui had been to was like this.
"I'll have another pork belly pot meatballs", Jiang Hui finished and called the waiter to place an order.
Li Xingping has a very distinct otaku character. The outside world says that Li Xingping has a low-key personality, but it is better to say that he is introverted and unsociable; except for the online world he loves and the website he has built, he is not interested in anything else. After ordering, Li Xingping began to make tea and did not take the initiative to speak.
"I heard that Li was always born in seventy-nine faces? I was born in eighty-five years, or I will call you Brother Li?" Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Jiang," Li Xingping said.
"Is Brother Li still running the website alone?" Jiang Hui asked.
"Yes, from its inception to the present, I have always been doing it myself," Li Xingping said.
"It's so annoying to run a website alone, and now I'm also a farmer by myself, and I have to worry about everything, which is a bit like being a mother and a father, but when the website is done, there is a feeling of raising a child to become an adult," Jiang Hui said.
When Li Xingping heard Jiang Hui's complaints, he felt very cordial, because he came over step by step like this, and he knew the most about Jianxin. With just a few simple words, Li Xingping felt that Jiang Hui was inexplicably more intimate.
"Brother Jiang's words have gone to my heart, it is really difficult to do things alone, and there are a lot of troublesome things to worry about," Li Xingping said.
Jiang Hui feels that Li Xingping is first and foremost an Internet enthusiast, and secondly, a businessman. Hao123 was founded with no commercial purpose in itself, but as the website became more and more influential, tax, business and other issues followed. Li Xingping is not good at dealing with these problems, and he is disgusted. Jiang Hui thought that if he started to communicate with Li Xingping in this regard, he could better persuade him to sell the website to himself.
"That's true, Brother Li, I'm a straight-talking person, don't mind. In fact, in my opinion, Hao123 is like a small boat full of gold, you row slowly alone, the wind and the sun are good, of course, but in bad weather, a wave hits, and the tree collapses, and it is likely that there will be nothing," Jiang Hui said.
What Jiang Hui said is actually something that Li Xingping has been worried about. Although the website now has seven or eight hundred thousand advertising revenue every month, but I don't know when it may be gone, the development of the Internet will always be full of miracles, behind the success of the enterprise, there will be more before the public remembers the company has fallen, or once famous, but quickly collapsed enterprises.
"To be honest, I've also considered the question you said, but Brother Jiang, aren't you also running the Glorious Game by yourself?", Li Xingping said.
"Brother Li, my situation is really not quite the same as yours. Take my now well-known intranet and glorious games as an example, the intranet now has more than a dozen shareholders, dozens of long-term part-time employees, and is also recruiting people. As for Glorious Games, you must have heard that it has just acquired a five-point stake in Penguin and 100 million in cash, and is now recruiting to expand its scale. Another point is that both companies are actually subsidiaries of Korn Ferry Technology Co., Ltd., and they are not working alone," Jiang said.
"So, Brother Jiang, do you want me to sell Hao123 to you?" Li Xingping said.
