Time flies, and the end of the year is coming in a blink of an eye.

The 26th day of the lunar month in 2002, January 28, 2003 in the Gregorian calendar.

This is the big day of the two families of Li Zhuang.

On this day, the engagement ceremony of Li Zhengyi and Zhuang Xiangqiu was held as scheduled.

At the beginning, Li's father and mother both asked for everything to be done according to the old rules and follow traditions, but in this way, the engagement process would be extremely complicated.

Zhuang Yongsheng had no objections, but in the end, the three elders discussed, and the matter had to be asked to the two young people.

Li Zhengyi and Zhuang Xiangqiu are both young people in the new era, and after discussing with each other, they felt that the old tradition was too complicated, so they decided to do new things, no longer follow the previous process, and everything was simple.

Follow the two families to get together again and streamline the process.

Who knew the result of the discussion, the engagement ceremony was streamlined, but other things were inserted, and the two families felt that they would simply arrange the wedding date, and pinch their fingers to count the auspicious day, and it was set on the sixth day of the new year.

Originally, according to Li Zhengyi's meaning, he hoped that after getting married, he would take time out to go abroad with Zhuang Xiangqiu to hold a romantic wedding, but Zhuang Xiangqiu said that he was in his hometown and there was no need to go abroad.

In this case, the two have no objection to the time of marriage, and it is all up to the parents of both parties.

On this day, the relatives of Li's father and Li mother gathered in Xiangning City, together with the relatives of the Zhuang family, and directly chartered the Qingshi Hotel for three days to hold an engagement ceremony for the engagement of Li Zhengyi and Zhuang Xiangqiu.

Contracting the Qingshi Hotel is Zhuang Yongsheng's face, because he knows the backstage of the Qingshi Hotel.

Speaking of which, Zhuang Yongsheng is actually not embarrassed to talk to the backstage of the Qingshi Hotel about this face, the reason is very simple, because the Qingshi Hotel is the property of He Bangyi, a real estate tycoon in Changshui City.

In fact, He Bangyi's eldest son He Qian also admired Zhuang Xiangqiu's character and talent very much, so the He family always wanted to marry the Zhuang family. Although it has long since died down, the two families have some embarrassment.

Zhuang Yongsheng had also thought about it before, and also mentioned it to Zhuang Xiangqiu, but Zhuang Xiangqiu had been reluctant, because she was too familiar with He Qianyi and had no idea about that at all.

And the appearance of Li Zhengyi made He Qian even more hopeless.

However, the He family is not arrogant, and after knowing that Zhuang Xiangqiu has a partner, they don't have any bad ideas.

He Qian is also a humble gentleman, as his name suggests, and even after learning the news of Zhuang Xiangqiu's engagement, he took the initiative to call Zhuang Xiangqiu and congratulate her on finding a lover.

At the same time, He Qian also took the initiative to contact the dealer, and when Zhuang Xiangqiu's engagement day came, he directly let Li Zhengyi package the Qingshi Hotel for three days.

Along with this, there is also a sincere congratulatory gift.

……

It is the rule to give a bride price for an engagement.

No matter how poor or low, some things cannot be avoided, just like the humble engagement ceremony two years ago, no matter how poor the Li family is, they must make up this bride price.

In order to show the sincerity of the Li family, when the bride price and the wedding ceremony were delivered on the eve of the engagement, Li's mother temporarily repented and gave up the 55,000 prize money that had been discussed before.

When discussing with Li Zhengyi again, Li Zhengyi smiled directly, and he told his mother that the bride price money had been prepared, and he was waiting to ask.

In the bride price plate that Li Zheng had prepared in the morning, on top of the grains, there were stacks of brand-new 100-yuan bills neatly piled up, and the red 100-yuan bills matched this festive atmosphere.

On top of the stacked money, there is a hundred-dollar bill.

One million plus one hundred.

It still means one in a million.

After the bride price was delivered, the relatives of the Zhuang family were more relieved that Zhuang Xiangqiu had found his ideal partner while feeling the sincerity of the Li family.

The relatives of the Li family who had the biggest visual impact were the relatives of the Li family, whether it was Li's father's family or Li's mother's family, they were all boiling. This includes Li Zhengyi's aunt and aunt, the former once looked down on his second brother, although he repented, but his knowledge was still limited, and the latter looked down on his sister, and at this moment, he had to be silent.

It was only now that they truly believed that the Li family was developed.

Before that, they didn't know how the Li family was developing.

I heard that Li's father and mother were opening a purchase station, and they were still laughing, after all, if they say it, they will recycle waste products if they say it is good, and if they say it is ugly, it is purely a collection of rags.

Who knew that this raged family actually climbed into a rich and noble family, which made them even more contemptuous in their hearts, and who knew what price the Li family would have to pay for the rich and noble family?

Maybe it's all possible.

This is the true thought of these people when they received the invitation from the Li family.

When they came to Xiangning City, although they saw the Internet café, they still didn't think so, on the one hand, they didn't know the profitability of the Internet café, and on the other hand, they didn't know whether the Internet café completely belonged to the Li family.

They were even thinking that maybe this Internet café, the Li family was just a partner, accounting for a small part, or maybe it was simply funded by others, and it was possible for them to manage it.

After all, Li Zhengyi's object is a rich girl from a privileged family, and it is reasonable to really want to get rich and take out a little money to support him.

But they were all wrong.

The moment they saw the bride price, they knew that Li Zhengyi was not a rich man, because there is a rule in the Xiangning area that the man does not need to take out the bride price.

The bride price can not only show the sincerity of the man, but also the most intuitive embodiment of the man's family background, which is completely unfake, which has nothing to do with the rich girl, because the woman's family cannot post the bride price money to support the façade, one is that the custom will not be so, the second is that the woman cannot do this, and the third is completely unnecessary.

After giving the bride price, exchanging rings, and completing a complete set of engagement ceremonies, Li Zhengyi and Zhuang Xiangqiu, after nearly two years of acquaintance and understanding, finally changed each other's identities and became an unmarried couple.

At the re-opening ceremony, when he heard Zhuang Xiangqiu change his title from uncle and aunt to father and mother, Li's father and mother couldn't help but have red eyes, and the changes in the past two years or so were really like a dream.

Zhuang Yongsheng, as a well-known snake in Xiangning City, could not put on any majestic posture on this occasion, and when he faced Li Zhengyi's tea and the voice of "Dad, you drink tea", a trace of tears flashed in the corners of his eyes full of smiles.

Time flies.

The Spring Festival is coming as scheduled in a festive atmosphere.

The relatives of Li's mother's family came to Xiangning early in this Spring Festival, firstly to pay New Year's greetings to Li Zhengyi's grandmother who was far away in Xiangning, and secondly, because Li Zhengyi's wedding day was on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Since the third year of junior high school, Qingshi Hotel has still been chartered by Li Zhengyi.

One after another, relatives from both parties came from afar.

This time, the scope of the wedding hire began to expand, and the invitations were sent to almost everyone Li Zhengyi knew, including his employees.

However, the company's employees can only come to dinner once in a group, and the core positions can't even leave, which makes so many employees feel regretful that they didn't attend the boss's wedding.

Since the fifth day of the new year, several gangster brothers of rookie logistics put down their work and all came to Li Zhengyi's home and began to rush back and forth.

Cui Xingfa, who manages the Internet café, under the instruction of Li Zhengyi, arranged for a few little beauties at the bar to be in charge, announcing that the Internet café would be free for three days from the fifth day of the new year to the seventh day of the new year.

In order to prevent the Internet café from making a bad disturbance for free, the director of the street police station of the school district, who received Li Zhengyi's invitation, directly dispatched several additional patrol policemen to the police booth outside the Zhengyi Internet café.

On the sixth day of the first month.

Duan Chengwen and his family came, and Duan Chengwen's first sentence after putting down the congratulatory gift was to complain about Li Zhengyi, saying that you dared to get married in front of me, causing him to be counted down by Jiang Zhishan for several nights, but Jiang Zhishan was smiling and congratulating her friend while secretly pinching Duan Chengwen's waist.

Following Xingwen Investment Duan Yumei and Tan Ziping, the son of Tan Gaoguan, Duan Yumei blessed the partner with a congratulatory gift, but Tan Ziping did not bring a congratulatory gift, but brought a team, all Mercedes-Benz S series, just to form a Mercedes-Benz team to welcome relatives.

Cheng Lisheng came, and he represented Li Zhengyi's background power in Xiangning City.

Xu Youcai and Fei Changsheng are here, they are the biggest contributor to Alipay's success, and they are also the biggest partners of Li Zhengyi's company in the banking industry in Xiangning City and the banking industry in Changshui City.

The management of Taobao Technology headed by Liu Walldong came, the management of Alipay led by Lu Xiaolan came, and the management of Zhengtu Technology led by Zhang Xiaolong came.

Only Ouyang Qing didn't come, only a phone call, but Li Zhengyi knew the other party's concerns, so he didn't care. Ouyang Qing brought sincere blessings to Li Zhengyi, and also entrusted Yu Xiaohui to send a congratulatory gift, and at the same time told Li Zhengyi a good news, the mobile phone operating system has been preliminarily completed and entered the testing stage.

All the people who have a good relationship with Li Zhengyi gather at the Qingshi Hotel in Qingyun District.

In the end, there was even a person who Li Zhengyi was completely unexpected.

It was Chu Zhengqing, the general manager of Yongsheng Real Estate under Zhuang Yongsheng, and beside him, it was Chu Zhengqing's nephew, the little yellow hair Chu Fei, who had disappeared for a long time.

Now I can't call it Xiao Huangmao, today's Chu Fei, after experiencing the great changes of his biological father, completely woke up in an instant, and under Chu Zhengqing's arrangement, he went away from home, and actually mixed up abroad.

He can appear at Li Zhengyi's wedding, which shows that he has completely let go of the past, although the other party's face still has a trace of bitterness, but Li Zhengyi knows that this is at least a signal of goodwill.

……

The wedding went ahead as scheduled.

The Mercedes-Benz S series greeting team has completely caused a sensation in Hongning District and Qingyun District, and pedestrians on the road, whether they have anything or not, have to stop and point out.

The wedding ended in a solemn atmosphere.

This night, Qiu Mei became Qiu Er again.

……

The Spring Festival holiday is over.

End of February 2003.

Li Zhengyi began to prepare for the establishment of Zhengyi Group.

At the same time, Li Zhengyi and his father-in-law Zhuang Yongsheng jointly invested 200 million, rookie logistics began to enter the stage of rapid expansion, a fleet of vehicles was prepared, a team of vehicles was absorbed, staking land, a moment of non-stop, with Xiangning City as the starting point, with Jiangnan Province as the center, began to cover and extend in all directions.

However, Duan Chengwu, acting mayor of Xiangning City, suddenly exerted his strength at this time and began to strictly investigate the fraud and corruption in the Anxue Bridge incident.

Since the collapse of the unit Qing incident, there has once again been a large-scale case involving the entire political arena, and the officials, contractors, and contractors of all sizes behind it have been beaten with grass and rabbits, and they have been pulled out in one go. Duan Chengwu's resolute and iron-fisted methods directly shocked Xiangning, and he was named the iron-blooded mayor.

April 2003.

The phenanthus iodine that ravages the north and south of the river is coming.

Traditional industries have suffered an unprecedented impact.

Taobao Technology has ushered in an excellent development opportunity.

All the foreshadowing that Li Zhengyi did in the early stage broke out in full force at this moment.

There has been a blowout of registered users on Taobao's website and Alipay, and the conversion rate of registered users has reached 90%, which means that 90% of registered users in Taobao users have Taobao transaction records.

Taobao registered users from 15 million, began to soar, 30 million, 50 million, until more than 100 million, the high growth curve began to slow down, at this rate of development, within three years to break through 500 million, it is definitely not difficult.

The Alipay model began to gain popularity, and the number of active users directly doubled on the basis of registered users on Taobao Technology.

The competitors of Taobao Technology, eBay, which has been entangled with it for nearly a year, have completely sunk in the storm of phenanthine and under the squeeze of Taobao Technology.

……

At the same time, the Sogou input method was completed, and it occupied the Internet input method market in one fell swoop.

In September 2003, Li Zhengyi handed over the black rotating USB flash drive brought by rebirth to Zhengyi R&D Center, and together with Ouyang Qing, set up a two-person research team and began the journey of cracking the USB flash drive.

At the end of 2003, after months of research, Ouyang Qing and Li Zhengyi finally cracked the USB flash drive data, and all the information was completely presented in front of Li Zhengyi and Ouyang Qing.

January 2004.

Li Zhengyi established Zhengyi Mobile Phone Co., Ltd. and officially began to set foot in the mobile phone industry manufacturing. Lao Qiao, who was secretly developing an Apple mobile phone in country M, was told that he had been preemptively registered when he applied for the registration of the relevant patent, which triggered a patent dispute involving the two companies and began a long litigation journey.

In September 2004, Zhengyi mobile phone launched an earlier smartphone CN1 more than two years earlier than the previous Apple life, which opened the prelude to seizing the global smartphone market.

End of 2004.

Li Zhengyi integrated all its enterprises such as Taobao Technology, Alipay Technology, Zhengtu Technology, Zhengyi Mobile Phone, Zhengyi R&D Center, and Cainiao Logistics into Zhengyi Group.

Get close to the government, stay away from politics.

As a result, the development of Zhengyi Group has entered a high-speed track.

The future is a path of infinite possibilities.
