Although the embarrassment was resolved, Qi Ming, who closed the door, was not in any lighthearted mood.

Lying on the bed, the electric fan around him whirred, Qi Ming recalled his previous life, and the accident made the old Qi family, which had a stable life, fall apart overnight.

This was a turning point in Qi Ming's life, and it was because of this that he began the next twenty years of exile.

In order to repay the loan, the Qi family's old house was sold, the father lost his head overnight, and the mother had to work two jobs for one person in order to subsidize the family.

And the cause of everything came from my father's comrade-in-arms.

That person's name is Xiao Yunhai, and he is a comrade-in-arms of his father Qi Daxun.

This man is very fond of drinking, and spends his days in confusion.

Because of this, Dai Lijuan was very reluctant for her father to let this person come to the house, so Qi Ming had never seen him a few times since she was a child.

is just such an unreliable person, but there is a brother-in-law who is very eloquent and can speak well.

His brother-in-law was very wild, and later found Qi Ming's father and wanted Qi Daxun to contribute some funds, and the three of them participated in the garden planning project of a new development together.

Qi Ming's father is mainly in charge of business, coordinating the operation and construction, and looking for seedlings and vegetation, and the brother-in-law who can speak well goes to run the cooperative unit, in today's words, it is to mediate and entertain between various Party A.

The two parties contribute their own capital and operate together, and the contract is also clearly written in black and white.

But later, when the business came down, Qi Daxun found that it was not the case at all.

Party A has all kinds of rips and blames each other on the project money.

And the brother-in-law who can speak well has no intention of fulfilling the contract at all.

Later, Qi Daxun went to the bank to see that there was no money in the company's account for a long time, and when he went to question, he learned that Xiao Yunhai's brother-in-law had used the money to fill the holes in his other businesses.

Later, the lawsuit was held, although Qi Daxun was sentenced to win the lawsuit, but how could there be any dishonest person subject to execution in those years.

As for the enforcement, it will not be successful, Xiao Yunhai has a dilapidated house in his hometown, which is not worth a few dollars.

As for his brother-in-law, he had already transferred his assets before the lawsuit.

Later, Xiao Yunhai and his brother-in-law were imprisoned for fraudulent contracts, but these two people couldn't stand the debt, and they didn't have to worry about the lice, and the creditors couldn't find them as soon as they went to prison, but their surroundings were clean.

I sat in this prison for ten years, and after I came out, the creditor came to the door again, and I simply became hob meat.

Of course, that's all for later.

Qi Ming was alone in the house, and the sound of the electric fan couldn't suppress the whispered conversation between his parents outside the door, although the voice was very soft, it was obviously not like Qi Ming to hear.

But in fact, there is no need to listen to it at all, Qi Ming also knows.

At this time, his father Qi Daxun should be thinking with his mother, and after the rent of the specialty shop at the airport expires next year, he will collect funds and Xiao Yunhai and they will start to invest in the business of garden engineering.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and bankruptcy didn't happen overnight.

The reason for everything back then was actually to put it bluntly, that is, my father couldn't stand up to his old comrade-in-arms Xiao Yunhai's soft grinding and hard bubbles, as well as the promised rich benefits, so he agreed, and after collecting the funds, he borrowed a sum of money from the bank.

In the past few days since his rebirth, Qi Ming has actually been thinking about how he could avoid this sudden change two years later.

It is obviously not appropriate to tell my father directly, and my father is unlikely to believe himself, after all, his identity is only a high school graduate, and no one will believe what he says.

Or find Xiao Yunhai and his brother-in-law, spend a few hundred yuan to find a few blind streams under the bridge and cave, block them in the alley, and throw them into the Xiliu Lake?

Too violent, undesirable, undesirable.

Qi Ming shook his head again and again, thinking about the fact that his parents were thinking about their husband-and-wife store accounts outside, to a large extent, they had already made up their minds to vacate the old Qi family's family and invest all of it in the garden project.

It's useless to persuade yourself, after all, in those years, all projects that have anything to do with real estate are a profitable business in the eyes of ordinary people.

In the face of the general trend, there is no one who goes against the current, and most people can only follow the trend.

But I thought of my previous life, my family was hit hard because of this incident, the miserable life of my parents, and my character that gradually became autistic after a sharp turn.

Qi Ming understands that even if this trend has taken shape, he must also go against this trend.

What he can do is to find a suitable entry point to intervene in this matter in the next two years.

"If I want to go against the trend, and I want to ride the waves, it's too difficult for me." Qi Ming lay on the bed and shook his head with a wry smile.

Mom and Dad were discussing family financial issues outside until late at night, and Qi Ming lay on the bed in a daze and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, my parents had left home and continued to work on business.

After Qi Ming took a cold shower, he bought fried dough sticks and salted tofu brain downstairs, ate and drank casually, then got on the No. 2 bus and came to the technology market alone.

Home computers will have to wait another year for them to become widespread, but there is no shortage of brands of computers in the tech market.

In 1999, formerly known as the High-tech Industrial Development Zone, it was renamed Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park.

Countless Chinese people regarded it as China's Silicon Valley, so in that year, the technology market across the country was undoubtedly the frontier of local technology and digital products.

Being able to find a job in the tech market, even handing out flyers, is part of the sunrise industry.

Zhao Zeming's Microsoft-brand machine was bought here, and he had to find acquaintances to buy a computer in those years, otherwise a person would be cheated when he came to the technology market in this mixed place, and of course, there was a risk of being killed if he found an acquaintance to buy it.

After all, few people understand computers in these days, especially those who know hardware.

After Qi Ming came here, he bought an Yili torch and walked around the market.

The whole market went around, and finally stopped at the door of a store where I bought an assembly machine.

It is said to be an assembly machine, but in fact it sells everything, mid, high, and low end brand machines, keyboards and mice, hardware motherboards, and some system software and the like.

The boss was in his early thirties and was looking down on a motherboard, and when he saw Qi Ming, he greeted him: "Young man, look at the computer?" Want branded or assembled? ”

Qi Ming took a sip of the Yili torch in his hand and said with a smile: "Just take a look." ”

"Speak when you need to."

The boss coped and continued to pack up the motherboard in his hand.

Qi Ming walked around his shop a few times, and finally his eyes fell on the window next to him.

Inside the glass window, on top of which was the flagship Pentium 3 processor at the time.

And the bottom is full of computer games.

The games are all genuine, and the minimum is two discs, and there are also large games with a maximum of five or six or even ten discs.

Seventy or eighty yuan for genuine copies is ordinary, and there are even one or two hundred yuan.

Seeing that Qi Ming's eyes were all on the computer game, the boss said, "The young man usually likes to play games, right?" ”

"Of course I play it, and I play all kinds of games. I won't tell you the boss, I have been in the technology market for half an hour, and it looks like it's your family's games. ”

The boss squinted and smiled: "Have eyesight, little brother, I dare to say this in the entire technology market, I have games that others have, and I can find them for you here if others don't have them." ”

Qi Ming smiled and said, "It's really fake? Boss, I see that you have a lot of games here, but I really haven't found what I want here. ”

The boss was quite dissatisfied when he heard this, and seemed to feel that his authority in the industry was being questioned, so he said: "Then you can tell me what game you want to play, although I will lose if I can't find my name." ”

Qi Ming immediately laughed again: "Boss, I don't mean anything else, don't worry." I mean, there are a couple of new games that you may not have available here. ”

The boss took out a cigarette and lit it and put it in his mouth, and he swallowed the clouds and smoked up: "New game? Whatever new game you want to play, as long as you name it, I can get it for you. ”

As soon as Qi Ming heard this, he knew that the other party was an old parallel import.

In those years, in addition to those games that were genuinely distributed in China, many games were mostly imported inland from the two channels of Baodao and Xiangjiang.

"Outlander Requiem, Rainbow Six, Delta Special Forces, Resident Evil 2, Tomb Raider 3, Allied Death Squads." Saying this string of names like a cannon in unison, the shopkeeper was a little confused.

Most of the games in here are indeed new, and he has heard of them a little, but they really don't have them in his store.

It's not that this boss is unheard, it's just that the games Qi Ming said are really all new games released that year.

In the era when the Internet speed was only more than 100 KB, games were basically released in the form of discs.

These new games in Europe and the United States are naturally very rare in China.

When the boss heard Qi Ming's words, his attitude towards Qi Ming changed at the moment.

The young man in front of him seems to be really an expert.

The boss took out a cigarette again and handed it to Qi Ming: "To be honest, I've heard some of these games you mentioned, but I don't have them in this store." ”

"It's not just you who don't have it, the entire tech market probably doesn't have it yet." Qi Ming took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff very skillfully.

Seeing that the boss's attitude towards him had changed, Qi Ming continued to chat with him: "Boss, let me spare you again, can you find these games?" If you can help me in some, I'd like to. ”

"Yes, yes, but the price is a bit high."

"Price is not a problem," Qi Ming said with a big grin, pretending to be a kind of student-like simplicity, but in fact, he is a stupid person with a lot of money and a lot of money, and he is not deeply involved in the world.

But the boss still asked very cautiously: "Are you going wholesale?" Or do you just buy it and play it yourself? ”

Qi Ming flicked off the ashes: "Big brother, do you look at me like a second-class dealer?" I'm just a student who has just finished the college entrance examination, and I'm bored at home, just want to play games. ”

"Okay, you wait for me for a while, I'll help you ask." The shopkeeper said, put down what he was doing, turned around and went to the back room to make a phone call.

A few minutes later, he walked out and said to Qi Ming: "I asked, these games you want have just been released this year, and they are not available on the market, if you really want them, give me this number." ”

The boss made a gesture of 6 and gestured for 600 yuan.

"Reasonable." Qi Ming nodded.

The boss took a sharp puff of his cigarette, "I'll take it in three days." ”

"Okay, deal."
