Chapter 16: The Beginning of a Million Debts
"Hey, Dad......"
It's been a little forgetful, how long has it been since I've talked to my father for a long time, maybe it's because both father and son are not very good at expressing feelings, and the phone calls between the two often stay in simple greetings.
But this time the problem Zhang Hengyi faced was unprecedentedly severe, and it simply made him feel a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do, so his first reaction at this moment was to call his father who was thousands of miles away, he really couldn't make up his mind this time, he wanted to hear his father's views and opinions!
"Well, what's wrong?"
Although he couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited about his son's unexpected call in his heart, Zhang Lixuan didn't know if it was to maintain his strict father image or what, but he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart before answering the phone, and tried his best to ask in a rather plain and calm tone.
"Dad, there's something I can't make up my mind about."
Zhang Hengyi pondered for a moment, when the matter came to an end, he was a little hesitant whether to say it, but in the end he still chose to tell his father the truth, after all, this matter is now not just involving him Zhang Hengyi alone, not only does the family have millions of huge debts, but if the matter of his shareholding in MG ends in failure, wouldn't it be ......
"Oh? Let's talk about it. β
Zhang Lixuan's words can always be short, but this time his tone is full of curiosity, you must know that his son has always been a very assertive child, and he can make his own decisions on almost most things on weekdays. As for today's slightly helpless questions, it is really a relatively rare situation.
"Hmm...... That's right. I now have the option to join a brand new team with money and no staffing. And I can get a full 50% of the shares, but what I didn't expect was that it would be too difficult to rebuild a team on my own.
Zhang Hengyi is also a human being, he has flesh and blood, just ask when he fell from heaven to hell overnight, and was given all kinds of merciless insults by the players and trolls who held him high before, and even invested himself in the huge mg team. is also completely unable to see the future, so how lost will he be?
"I really didn't expect that no one understood me, that all of them were acting like they were working against me, that no one supported me, that I felt, really, I felt...... I really can't hold on anymore! I was even a little skeptical of the decision I made in the first place, and the money ...... I could have paid off all the debts for our family!! β
It's like a lost child has finally found an adult's support, and Zhang Hengyi at this time is like a helpless child. Crying to his dearest father, at this moment he really thought about giving up, he even had an impulse!
Since then, he has given up the unattainable dream of forming a team, and went to play with Ah Liang to play in OMG with peace of mind. Use all the money you have to pay off the huge debts that your family is carrying, so that your parents can really live their lives easily, instead of feeling like there is a stone in your heart every day. I'll never be able to put my mind at ease......
"Are these what you really want to pursue?"
was silent for a long time, but Zhang Lixuan did not ask where the millions of dollars that were enough to repay all the debts came from. He just asked from another angle, wanting to know what his son was suffering from!
If it weren't for his desperate thirst for these things. So presumably he would not be willing to take such a big risk to do this, and even now, when he has tasted the bitter fruits of this, he is still struggling with whether to choose to give up!
"Yes...... That's right, these are the things I really crave! But this, this is so hard! There's no way to do that! It's simply an impossible thing to do!! β
Zhang Hengyi did not deny his dreams and pursuits, he was like a demon at the moment, full of desperate words that could not be completed, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was insurmountable, this gap from ordinary professional players to being his own boss!
But it's really like a moat, and it's insurmountable in front of your eyes!!
"Alas, silly boy...... In this world, there is no hurdle that cannot be crossed! β
Zhang Lixuan's eyes were misty at the moment, and his tone was calm, as if he had returned to the night of thunder and fire, the night when he buried half of his life's efforts and dedication, as well as the hope and future of the whole family, in just one night
"Remember that night? That depressing night like the end of the world?? After that night, your father and I are in the same mood as you are now, but there is nothing but despair in this world, and there is only despair......
In a trance, accompanied by his father's muttering at this time, Zhang Hengyi seemed to have returned to a few years ago, back to that night that was really as terrible as the end for the whole family, that fire, as if he was going to talk about the roaring night when the whole sky was swallowed up
The former father was an authentic rural person, Zhang Hengyi's grandfather was a farmer, and the family was also poor, so that his father, who had been extremely smart since he was a child, had no choice but to drop out of school when he was in junior high school, but at that time his father had slowly shown his business acumen, he did not go home to follow his grandfather to farm, but stayed in the county by himself to work hard.
At first, he sold some fruit or something, and slowly opened a small shop by himself, married a daughter-in-law and had a baby, and his life gradually ran towards the well-off level, until that year, he traveled to other places and found business opportunities in the natural gas industry, and at that time, his hometown was still using gas.
The father, who has an extremely keen sense of business, seized this opportunity very decisively, and he resolutely mortgaged all the real estate stores in his family to the bank, and then took the lead in starting a natural gas company directly in his hometown, and with the irresistible gradual popularization of natural gas, there is no doubt that Zhang Lixuan made it.
It's just that his ambition doesn't stop there, after almost monopolizing the natural gas business of the entire hometown, Zhang Lixuan has hit the idea to the hottest real estate industry at the moment, he knows the horror of making money, so he didn't take the money he earned to pay off his debts, but instead looked at the land and mortgaged the entire natural gas company again!
But I never thought that when Zhang Lixuan's career was thriving, and he was about to completely turn over from a poor boy from scratch, he was at the peak of his daily progress
No one knows why, let alone whether it happened man-made or accidental, but the unfortunate thing did happen, just that night, Zhang Lixuan's core industrial natural gas company had a gas leak, and then only heard a 'boom'......
Rumble! Bang! Bang!!
The terrible explosion that resounded throughout the county, the sound of the fire truck that kept honking, almost scared the soul of Zhang Lixuan's family that night, and when the next day, almost everyone in the county had already discovered that the once glorious natural gas company was turned into ashes overnight, the county was in an uproar!
And more importantly, more than a dozen workers who were transporting natural gas were accidentally killed in the explosion, followed by endless lawsuits, and without the natural gas company as collateral, the bank began to constantly urge repayment, but the construction site has just begun to lay the foundation, and a large amount of money is still needed to continue to be injected
There is no doubt that Zhang Lixuan is finished, and the endless debts instantly drowned this middle-aged man who is already in his forties, of course, at the same time, Zhang Hengyi, the second generation of the little rich, is also over, the family sells houses and cars, and sells everything that can be sold, which can be regarded as paying off the debt, and in the end, there are nearly one million left in the bank that have not been repaid, but it has been pressed until now.
As for the place where they lived, it was another house of A Liang's family, and it was interesting to say that this house was bought by Zhang Lixuan when he lent money to A Liang's mother, so thinking of the old relationship, Zhang Hengyi's family finally had a place to stay.
But since then, the once glorious Zhang family has finally fallen to Cheng DΓΉ, who can't even pay his son's tuition, and it is precisely because of this that there is today's story and the protagonist of this story, Zhang Hengyi
"Ah Yi, you said that when my father found out that he had fought for a career all his life, but it was burned directly in a fire, that kind of feeling...... Is it comparable to your despair right now? β
Although it has been such a long time, every time Zhang Lixuan mentions this matter, he still can't help but feel a little emotional, obviously slightly excited.
"I ......"
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Hengyi was speechless, he naturally understood that compared with his father who was so desperate that he almost jumped off the building to commit suicide at that time, what was the special amount of setbacks and difficulties he was currently experiencing? !
"Son, Dad doesn't understand what you are talking about e-sports, and he doesn't know what to build a team, but Dad knows!
Young people should be brave and fearless!
Dare to meet the challenges of the unknown!! β
Zhang Lixuan's words at this moment are like a morning bell at dusk, constantly ringing in Zhang Hengyi's ears!
"Let's put it this way, if there is an afterlife, let Dad make another choice! No matter how many difficulties and hardships there are on the road ahead, I will still resolutely and choose to continue to walk tenaciously! β
At this moment, his father's words were like deafening cannonballs, which continued to explode in Zhang Hengyi's ears!!
"Remember! The path of your choice
You have to finish it on your knees!! (To be continued......)
