Chapter 001: The Origin of the Dream
My name is Xiang Nan, and when I was in school, my mother asked someone to tell her fortune, saying that I would take the "Tsinghua University and Peking University" exam in the future, and the result was ......
"Huh"
Before I graduated from junior high school, I left school. Quietly ran to the textile factory to do women's needlework.
The paper couldn't hold the fire, and the apprentice was beaten home by my father with an iron rod after only two days of work!
I don't want to go to school for two reasons, first, I know that I am not that material, and second, my family is too poor...
I was born in the early 90s, and as a child, I remember that the family only had meat to eat during the Chinese New Year!
Five cents in those days would have cost me days.
Oh, by the way, I have a twin brother who forgot to mention, his name is Xiangbei, nerd, and he has the exact opposite personality to me.
After graduating from junior high school, in order to reduce the burden on my family and let my younger brother go north without worrying about tuition fees, I gave up the technical school that my father asked someone to find for me and signed up to join the army!
I will never forget that when the army made the first call home, my mother couldn't wait to tell me: "Xiang Nan, my mother looked for a fortune teller a few days ago, and you will become a senior officer in the army in the future..."
My mother is very simple, and she saves money all year round, but she is too superstitious. Usually I am reluctant to spend any money, but the fortune teller does not blink an eye, saying a hundred, and never bargaining!
My mother's words made me depressed in the army for days.
Because I have had a dream since I was a child, that is, to create a food and entertainment city the size of a football field, the outermost circle brings together all kinds of food from all over the country, the middle is an entertainment place for adults and children, and the innermost circle is a variety of large and small hotels.
When I was a child, my brother dragged his big nose and asked me, "Brother, why is your dream like this?"
I pointed in the direction of the city and explained, "To the north, do you remember when Grandpa was alive and took us to the city's food court to eat?" ”
"Of course I remember, when I came back, my grandfather was told by my father, saying that he spent money indiscriminately, and the things in the food city were expensive and not delicious"
My brother Xiangbei was right, and I nodded in agreement and continued: "Actually, you don't know, grandpa is a carpenter, and he participated in the construction of the food city throughout the whole process,"
When the food city opened, my grandfather scolded angrily: his grandmother's, this is a food city, it is clearly a night market that draws a circle and gathers together. ”
My brother looked at me incredulously, I looked at the stars in the night sky, and I missed my grandfather who died of illness!
I can't forget the time when my grandfather took us brothers to spend money in the food city for the first time!
To this day, standing on the land of the world's largest food and entertainment city that I built myself, (of course, this is a later story), I can still remember my grandfather saying to me: "Good grandson, my grandfather has an unfulfilled wish in this life, that is, to build the world's largest food city with his own hands......"
Grandpa seemed to understand that he couldn't finish it at all, so he didn't say anything more.
"Grandpa, when I grow up in the future, let me come to the food city, and when it's built, it's my turn to take you to eat, drink and have fun."
That day, my grandfather was very happy, and my father couldn't stop me from drinking liquor one after another on the dinner table.
After getting drunk, my grandfather took me in his arms and scolded my father and said: "Xiang Youqian, you are fucking like this in your life, you can only farm, you see, my grandson will definitely be better than you in the future." ”
My dad was annoyed when he heard it, he was dumb and ate coptis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.
…………
At the age of 35, I founded Xiangnan Group, built the world's largest food entertainment city, and became the richest man.
Although I fulfilled my dream, the process of money was not easy, I had nothing to do, I also owed a lot of debts, and even impulsively, borrowed usury, online loans, to support loans.
During this sad journey of money, I have delivered takeaways, delivered express delivery, ran online car-hailing, worked as a migrant worker, and sold roadside baked gluten.
I have created a business, but I have also experienced failure.
even thought about ending this life because of failure.
If you ask me which is the most difficult experience for me to go through this sad journey of money, I will say, "Let's take out an online loan." ”
When you suddenly can't borrow out other online loans because of the repayment of online loans, you are very desperate, once the funds are broken. The online loan company will send collectors to call and harass your family and friends, insult your family and friends, and even send wreaths to your home...
The story of Qian Tu is very long, and my story starts with my discharge from the army......
…………
"Travelers, the next stop is Koto City ......"
I slept in the sleeper of the train, and when I heard that the next stop was Jiangdong, where I had lived for more than ten years, I got up excitedly, came to the junction of the carriages, and lit a cigarette!
I was a scout in the army for five years, I learned to smoke, the army is non-smoking, and I learned to smoke not because of the army, but because of the experience of these years, five years, a whole five years!
If it weren't for my dream from childhood to adulthood, I would have wanted to stay in the army for the rest of my life, and I really couldn't bear it......
In the past five years, from the monthly allowance of the privates to the salaries of the transferred non-commissioned officers, I have basically sent them all home!
Because he wanted to recover, my dad even ran to the army and slapped me hard.
"You're going to be mad at me!"
Seeing this, the company commander's instructor hurriedly stopped my dad from having money!
I didn't say a word!
When my father left for money, he didn't want me to give it away, and even left behind the cruel words: "If you leave the army, don't go home, I don't have you as a son."
With a ruthless heart and a grit of teeth, I still retired from the army!
After smoking, I went back to the sleeper, and the eldest sister who slept in the lower bunk opposite me also got up.
The eldest sister looked to be forty years old, with a baby in her arms.
Along the way, the eldest sister gave me the feeling of being very vigilant.
Seeing me come back, the eldest sister suddenly changed her previous vigilance, handed me a carton of milk very enthusiastically, and smiled at me happily: "Soldier, can you help me hold the child, I'll go to the toilet."
Because I was wearing a military uniform, my eldest sister called me that all the way.
I agreed to my eldest sister's request and took the baby from her.
This is the first time I have seen the little guy in my arms, it is a baby girl.
The little guy is still sleeping, but I always feel a little strange, the little guy looks like he should be born a few days ago, and at this time he should be confinement at home with the eldest sister.
"It's not good, this eldest sister is very likely to be a human trafficker."
The reason I had this idea in my mind was when I saw the baby bottle on the dinner plate.
Recalling the actions of the eldest sister during the day, when the eldest sister fed for the first time, the bottle was full of prepared milk.
I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run, so such a small baby should be a little bit of milk powder.
