[XXVIII],
"No, on the contrary, I am returning to the capital after a business trip in Binhai City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Liu replied.
"What about you, it looks like you're traveling to the capital, right?" Liu Qiandong looked at Wang Zhiyuan's casual dress, so he asked casually.
Wang Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "Half and a half, it's to attend a friend's propaganda conference." ”
"I see. Just you?" It seems that Liu Qiangdong is also more talkative, and began to take the initiative to chat with Wang Zhiyuan.
Originally, there was another person, but she was in a hurry, so she went to the capital in advance. I'm alone now, but I'm glad I met you and have someone to talk to. Wang Zhiyuan said Li Xiaoyu naturally.
Li Xiaoyu didn't know what kind of wind she was pumping, so she had to rush to the capital yesterday. Wang Zhiyuan could only let him go, lamenting that young people were too impulsive.
He is only in his early 26s, but he has a 36-year-old heart age, and he can't afford to be hurt.
"It seems to be quite pitiful. Liu Walldong replied coldly. After that, the two chatted, talked about Binhai City, talked about Beijing, and then talked about some of their experiences.
During the conversation, Wang Zhiyuan learned:
Liu Qiangdong is a college student who only graduated this year from the sociology department of Renmin University. Because of his average family background, he has been independent since he was in college, sewing the 500 yuan of living expenses collected by his relatives into his underwear, and decided to start living independently and no longer ask for a penny from his family. Since my freshman year, I have frequently participated in many part-time jobs. ”
Later, Liu Walldong became obsessed with computer programming, and in order to learn programming, he often slept in the computer room until the morning before going to class. Liu Qiangdong, who learned to program, compiled a set of power management systems for the government department in his hometown and a catering management system for a fast food restaurant, making a lot of extra money. ”
When he was a junior, he began to use his spare time to work harder part-time and programming, and soon, he bought himself a "big brother" and spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy the "first student computer of the National People's Congress". ”
Relying on some of the funds he had accumulated and borrowing a lot of money from his parents and relatives, he used 200,000 yuan in cash to buy a restaurant near the school in his senior year and started his dream of "restaurant chain". ”
Liu Walldong gave each of the restaurant employees a watch, doubled their salaries, changed the dormitory from a waterlogged basement to an above-ground building, and stipulated that they were not allowed to eat leftovers from customers, that they should have two meat and two vegetables a day, and that they could drink some alcohol on a fixed day. ”
But then he was caught off guard, and the restaurant had problems two months later: because of his decentralization, the purchasing master would buy high-priced ingredients in exchange for more discounts, and the front desk and the chef quietly did not write a reconciliation list, and they were greedy for money. In the end, Liu Qiandong closed the restaurant, with a total loss of more than 200,000 yuan.
After graduating, he was hired by a foreign-funded company and is now a part-time worker.
"I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful story!" After listening, Wang Zhiyuan admired.
These experiences are not available to everyone, and although they are not successful, the accumulated experience will also make him more determined in his heart.
"Hehe.... Don't make fun of me. With a blue nose and swollen face, and a lot of debts owed to relatives, my life is off to a good start. Compared to you, I'm afraid it's far behind. Liu Qiandong was a little depressed and laughed at himself.
"I really envy you for having such an achievement in college, although you didn't succeed, but these experiences are not easy to come by. ”
"It's like when I was in college, I wasted a lot of time and taught at a secondary school after graduation. Later, when I heard about going to the sea, I was so hot that I quit my job and went to the sea. ”
"After that, I have been in the business for nearly two years, set up stalls, poured small things, pulled business for others, and opened a translation agency.... But in the end, nothing came of it. In the end, there was a car accident, and although the name was saved, part of the memory was lost. ”
Wang Zhiyuan is of course talking about the experience of this body, and he sighed when he told it. If I don't show up, I don't know how things will develop later.
Liu Walldong opened his mouth, and his surprised expression was clear at a glance. After half a ring, he joked, "I didn't expect that we can be considered to be in sympathy with each other! However, it seems that your past is even more tragic than mine..."
"So, how are you now?" Liu Qiandong looked at Wang Zhiyuan again, looking like he didn't want to be down, but like the momentum of a successful person.
Wang Zhiyuan looked out the window, seemed to recall, and then said: "After the car accident, I met a friend, he told me about the Internet, and I was moved by him. After that, we started the Internet business, and we were full of energy. ”
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to develop the Internet industry in China, right?" Liu Qiandong also has some understanding of the general situation of the Internet and the domestic Internet.
Wang Zhiyuan nodded and continued: "But isn't it! At that time, we were full of enthusiasm and looked for customers everywhere to discuss cooperation, but the people in China who knew the Internet were already pitiful, so we were treated as liars and got nothing..."
"Later, due to some other reasons, our company was dissolved in less than half a month, and the business failed again. ”
28,
"I didn't expect you to go through so much! So, are you still starting a business now?" Liu Qiandong became more and more curious, and he felt infected by Wang Zhiyuan's spirit of not admitting defeat.
Wang Zhiyuan smiled at this time and said: "Later, I experienced a low tide period, but fortunately, I met a noble person to help, and now I have opened an investment company with him, and I have invested in three companies so far, and the development is not bad." This is my business card. ”
Most of Wang Zhiyuan's words are true, and some are to avoid it.
"Thousand Demon Technology?.... General Manager Wang Zhiyuan!" Liu Qiangdong exclaimed, and then Wang Zhiyuan congratulated him.
"You're welcome. You see that people like me can get out of the way, and I believe that your achievements in the future will be even more brilliant, don't give up. Wang Zhiyuan encouraged him.
"Thank you!" Liu Qiangdong is indeed more determined in his dream at this moment.
"By the way, our company mainly invests in the Internet and related companies, and of course there will be other companies that are very optimistic and we will also participate. In the future, if you want to start a business, remember to come to me if you have financial needs, maybe we still have the opportunity to partner. Wang Zhiyuan said deliberately.
"Really, I have an idea that day, find you, don't regret it!" Liu Qiangdong said with a smile, but he still needs to calm down for a while and think about his future development direction, the Internet may be a good choice....
"Of course, I can't ask for it, and I look forward to working with you. Wang Zhiyuan promised.
After that, the two began to chat, talking about software programming, the Internet and other things, in short, they talked about Shenghuan.
....
Beijing, an airport.
"Brother Wang, I'm really embarrassed, there is indeed something, otherwise I will definitely take you to the capital to experience the local customs here. Liu Walldong said apologetically.
On the plane, the two chatted and chatted, attracted each other, hated each other, and called each other brothers. It's a little fast, but it's sincere.
"It doesn't matter. I believe that there will be opportunities in the future. You go about your business, remember to keep in touch. Wang Zhiyuan didn't pay much attention to this.
"Alright, I'll take a chance to treat you to dinner another day. I wish you a happy time in the capital!" Liu Qiandong saluted and waved goodbye to Wang Zhiyuan.
Out of the airport, Wang Zhiyuan took a taxi, and now the taxis in the capital are a bit like minivans, still corn-baked, and the appearance is still a little cute.
"Master, go to Wangfujing!" Wang Zhiyuan said to the waiting opportunity after getting into the car.
Waiting for the opportunity is a middle-aged man, who seems to be an old driver, with a short beard on a rectangular face, an inch head, and a slightly chubby figure.
"Comrade, you're not from the capital, are you?" Waiting for the opportunity to glance at Wang Zhiyuan, he turned his head to start the car, and asked casually.
Wang Zhiyuan does not have the accent of a Beijing person, but he is an authentic Beijing person, and he can tell if he is a Beijing person when he hears it.
"Yes, I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and I don't know what has become of it in the past few years?" Wang Zhiyuan looked ahead and said casually.
"So you haven't been here in a long time.... Since the reform and opening up, the capital has changed a lot, especially since the Asian Games were held five years ago, and the development and innovation have been too fast. To us, the outdated antiques are almost unable to keep up with it. No, I drove a taxi, hoping to catch up with it. ”
It's quite humorous to wait for the opportunity, and the taste of Beijing sounds unique.
"Master, it seems that you are from the old capital. I don't know, in the past few years, there have been many changes in the surroundings of Wangfujing, are there still many people setting up stalls to do business, people come and go, it is very lively?" Wang Zhiyuan thought about the old capital and Wangfujing business district in his impression.
"What you said has been several years, and now Wangfujing Zhou District is much more prosperous than before, and has become a landmark business district in the capital. Every day, the flow of people is continuous, and it is more lively. As for the stall you mentioned, who still has the face to set up a stall in such a prosperous area, isn't it uncomfortable to find oneself?" said the waiting master.
"It turns out that there have been so many changes now, and it seems that the pace of Beijing has always been at the forefront of the country. Wang Zhiyuan replied, not talking about the opportunity.
After suffering two car accidents in a row, he is now very concerned about the safety of his car, and he doesn't want to be distracted by waiting for an opportunity to drive because of a conversation.
After that, Wang Zhiyuan turned his face to the window and observed the appearance of the current capital all the way.
First of all, there are many old alleys, and there are scattered people sitting on the corners of the alleys, holding fans and chatting together, drinking tea, and playing chess....
There is also an old grandfather who pushes his lovely grandson with a small bamboo cart, amused from time to time, walking along the street, leisurely.
Compared with the future, the current capital has a lot more ancient atmosphere and a simple way of life.
After passing by a taxi in several neighborhoods, Wang Zhiyuan found that in the current capital, basically every neighborhood has a simple shack-style free market. Here people are provided with vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the meat sellers are all on the same street, and the vegetable sellers also have their own stalls. People come and go, and business is good.
There is also the road condition, all the way over, except for the traffic light, the taxi has not stopped. The road is smooth, there is no future odd and even number restrictions, there is no rush hour, there are no high-rise buildings, there is no haze sky....
In Wang Zhiyuan's view, all this is too rare.
"So many people are riding bicycles!" The taxi drove to the main road, and Wang Zhiyuan found that there were spacious bicycle lanes on both sides of the road, and the crowd of cyclists could catch up with those who would ride battery bikes in the next ten years.
It is the same means of transportation, but the scenery presented is different, which makes people feel nostalgic and sigh. Maybe it's because the pace of life has become faster in the future, and people have replaced their bicycles with battery cars.
After that, Wang Zhiyuan also saw the amusement park, and now there is no Happy Valley in the capital, only this kind of small amusement park, but the children still have a lot of fun.
If you are a person from Beijing, you will return to the capital a few decades ago from the future, you were born in the capital, grew up in the capital, rooted in the capital, all your brothers and friends live in the capital, and all the ups and downs of the memories are also left in the capital.
In the future, when you walk into the old yard and into the alley, and hear the old lady's words: "This is not anyone's child, they have grown so big", you will feel very kind.
And back to the present, how would it feel when you heard that familiar voice on the street?
I'm afraid that in addition to cherishing or cherishing!
"Comrade, are you in a hurry? Why don't I take you around Tiananmen Square and then go to Wangfujing?" Wang Zhiyuan kept looking out of the car window in the middle of the rearview mirror, and seemed to be very interested in the people and things in the capital, so he proposed.
"No, thank you for your kindness. I still have something to do in Wangfujing, so I'll take a look around the capital another day. Wang Zhiyuan refused.
He had indeed made an appointment with Li Yanhong to have dinner in Wangfujing in the evening, and by the way, he would inspect the business situation there.
....
"Is this Wangfujing in the nineties?" After Wang Zhiyuan got out of the car, he looked at the Wangfujing Department Store in front of him, which was really magnificent and foreign compared to the surroundings!
This is Wangfujing should be regarded as the most bullish department store in Beijing, now it is official after work time, the streets here are crowded with people, Wangfujing is even more crowded, business is booming.
People in Beijing have quickly regarded buying goods in Wangfujing as a habit and a manifestation of a noble quality of life.
Wangfujing, Cuihualou Restaurant.
This is the place agreed by Wang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong, and it is a large-scale restaurant that is well-known for authentic Lu cuisine at home and abroad.
Wang Zhiyuan didn't know how Li Yanhong became so arrogant, but since he arranged it for him to catch the wind, Wang Zhiyuan had no reason to refuse.
Cuihualou Restaurant, with exquisite furnishings, antique and luxurious "dragon" and "phoenix" banquet halls and private rooms of different styles, gives people an elegant and comfortable feeling, and can receive more than 400 people at the same time.
Founded in the 40s, it has hosted many celebrities and big names in history. For example, Song Meiling, Premier Zhou, etc. have all been here. During his lifetime, Premier Zhou had many banquets for foreign heads of government at the Cuihua Building, and many visiting international friends also came to taste and highly praised them.
"It's not cheap here, is it?" Wang Zhiyuan stood at the door, stunned, looked at his outfit, and felt that it was okay, so he walked towards the door.
"Welcome!" the beautiful waitress greeted Wang Zhiyuan.
At this time, several people came behind him, and some of them said:
"Mr. Tu, please!"
Of course, this was not said to Wang Zhiyuan, but he turned around and looked at it, why was it so familiar? In an instant, he reacted and exclaimed:
"Farewell concubine!"
