Chapter 286 I am a local dog, I love to watch
"Does this person have any grudge against you?"
After Yang Dan left, Wang Qiansui turned and looked at Chen Xi.
"The son of the richest man in a small town, he was arrogant when he was in school and bullied people everywhere."
"Don't worry, I'll tell my dad when I get back that I won't cooperate with this kind of person."
"Me too." Zhou Xun also shrugged. It didn't matter if his family had one more or one less order.
"Is your Yellow River Investment very famous? Why does he come to you for cooperation?" Chen Xi was a little puzzled. He didn't know much about Wang Qiansui's company. He only knew that this guy made tens of millions by speculating in stocks.
"Of course. Our company is not in Haizhou, but we have the support of Dajiang Group. Dajiang Group is the company of the richest Chinese!"
"Ah! So awesome."
Chen Xi exclaimed in surprise. Dajiang Group is the company of Li Kacheng, the richest Chinese man.
No wonder Yang Dan wants to cooperate with Wang Qiansui's father. It is probably because Yang Dan's father has not been able to get in touch with a big shot like Li Kacheng.
That’s not right. I remember that Yang Dan’s father was arrested later!
Why are you coming to Xinlu to work on a project now?
I don’t know in which year he was arrested. Maybe it’s not the right time yet.
His mind was full of doubts. He had not returned to China very often in his previous life, so he might not know many things.
"Okay, let's forget about it. Let's continue singing and drinking." Luo Yiming had already taken the microphone at this time.
While Chen Xi was still singing and drinking, in a hotel not far away, Yang Dan was applying an ice pack to his face.
"Hello, Xiaodan, how's things going?" My sister's voice came from the phone.
"Ah~ That... the boss is not here. He is out of town."
"Both bosses are out of town?"
"Yes, it is."
"What a coincidence."
"Really? If you don't believe me, ask Lao Liu. He spent the whole day with me today!"
"Dad said this must be done. I'll come find you when I'm done here."
"Huh? Oh...Okay."
Yang Dan hung up the phone tremblingly.
"Chen Xi, I will definitely make you look good."
The roaring sound suddenly filled the entire room.
On the second day, Chen Xi finally boarded the plane to Xinlu. The travels over the past few days made him feel a little tired.
"To Victoria." After getting into a taxi, Chen Xi spoke out the address.
The driver silently put down the newspaper in his hand and pressed the meter.
"You taxi drivers usually read the business newspaper."
Seeing the Xinlu Business News next to his seat, he opened his mouth in surprise.
"I graduated from Xinlu University of Finance and Economics. The city is going to undergo a major transformation soon. I'll check the news to get an understanding of the situation. By that time, all the roads will be closed for reconstruction, and my business will definitely be bad!" the driver explained while driving.
Chen Xi looked at this driver differently.
You should know that when Xinlu was undergoing a major renovation, it was very difficult to get a taxi in the city center because drivers were unwilling to go there, the roads were congested and many places were impassable.
This gave rise to the motorcycle taxi, an old and illegal operating vehicle that has long been abolished.
Since the major renovation began, a large number of motorcycle taxis and illegal taxis have emerged in Xinlu. The fare for a motorcycle taxi is not much different from that for a taxi, and may even be more expensive.
This caused a lot of people to complain.
The driver in front of me is very far-sighted!
Although I drive a taxi, I can't look down on others. I still remember that in my previous life, there was a graduate from Hua University who went to be a pig butcher.
"Can I have a look at this newspaper?"
"Let's take a look."
"Thanks."
Holding the Xinlu Business Daily in his hand, the headline on the first page was an analysis of the current economic situation in the province, but he was soon attracted by a photo. This was his father - Chen Yifeng.
He just glanced at the interview and laughed.
His father is the type of person who doesn't like to suffer any loss. When he does an interview, more than half of the time he spends introducing the development history of his company and then talking about how awesome the company is.
Next are the views on running a business. Chen Xi has also seen these views, which should be pieced together from certain books and other people’s words.
There is no nutrition, it's all empty.
Chen Yifeng was no different from other bosses. He said that young people nowadays were unwilling to endure hardships, and the loyalty of employees was too low. They would leave after working for a while because of complaints. Chen Xi did not object to this because it was the same when he was a boss in his previous life.
Before becoming a boss, he always thought about issues from the employees' perspective, such as salary increases, no overtime, welfare benefits, etc. He felt that some bosses were somewhat inconsiderate of their employees.
But after I became a boss, my thinking changed a bit. If I were to do things from the boss's perspective, it would be difficult for the company to survive.
"You can laugh just by reading a business newspaper?" The driver glanced at Chen Xi beside him with some confusion.
"A major renovation is about to begin. It's quite interesting to see these people analyzing the situation in the newspaper." Chen Xi responded to the driver while flipping through the newspaper.
"Of course not. Today's newspapers have no nutrition at all. I don't know if those reporters and editors are crazy or something. They just report some insignificant things every day. Look at page 3. There are people suggesting to build Xinlu into an online e-commerce city. Once such low-level things come in, everyone will follow suit. In the short term, it can boost the economy, but it will give up other potential industries, which is not worth the loss."
"Ha, you're right. What would you do if you were the leader?"
There is nothing wrong with what the driver said. This is the case with Wulin City. For a period of time, the economy was boosted by online e-commerce and live streaming by internet celebrities. Later, problems were discovered and the city began to think about transformation. However, it is not that easy.
"You want me to be the leader? Ha, I don't even dare to think about such a thing. I'm just a taxi driver."
"Tell me about it. You are an intellectual after all."
"If I were the leader, I would turn Xinlu into a science and technology city. Geographically, Xinlu has no port, so forget about trade. The service industry has always been crucial in Xinlu, but as management becomes stricter, those entertainment venues will have to transform. Several universities in Xinlu are good in the country, and one of them is among the top in the country. Various R&D institutions and scientific research capabilities can rank among the top in the country..."
"Then which technology companies do you think are better to introduce to Xinlu?" Chen Xi asked, touching his chin.
"Of course, we'll do whatever has potential and makes money. I think the chips are a bit exaggerated. Xinlu's electronic laser device is the best in the country, so we can try to develop it in the electromagnetic direction. I'm not a scientist, so I don't know much about this..."
"Ha, you are really interesting. You not only read business newspapers but also literary works!" Chen Xi said, looking at a book of essays in the gap between the seats.
"This is not mine. It was left by a passenger, a student at that. It is not prose at all. Take a look for yourself."
"Oh?" Chen Xi picked up the book "Stories of the Soul" and opened it.
This was a novel wrapped in a prose book cover. He pulled the cover open a bit and took a look.
Rebirth: I am a Dog of Wall Street
"What kind of book is this? The name is so interesting."
"What a bunch of bullshit books, saying that the protagonist is an ordinary person who traveled back in time, and made 300000 trillion beautiful coins by investing in stocks in the United States. How much alcohol did he drink to write such a thing, and what about the D-skin counterattack? Players want to outsmart the dealer, just dream on."
"Nowadays, children love to watch it! Life and study are stressful, so they need to have some fun."
"My cerebellum has atrophied after watching this. If I were to travel back in time, I would probably still be a taxi driver. At most, I would buy a house and wait for it to appreciate in value, then sell it for retirement."
"Why do you think so? You know so many money-making projects, can't you make a comeback?"
"Forget it. Doing business is not that simple. Take the e-commerce that is gradually becoming popular now. I know how it works in general, but if you ask me to actually operate it, it is unlikely to succeed."
"What if I give you enough starting capital?"
"It's the same. Some things are very difficult to overcome. To do a project, especially in China, it's not enough to just have money. Look at how many of the top bosses were... born. They were either second-generation rich or married to a good wife. Look at how the gambling king started out, and the 500 million Detective Lei Luo. But if you rely on yourself and are born in a grassroots family, it's not that there is no hope at all. There are still a few chosen ones in this world."
There was nothing wrong with what the driver said. Chen Yifeng did have some abilities, but he used to be a poor boy who didn't even have a house. He worked hard in Huajing, but in the end he returned to Xinlu in disgrace. It was only by marrying Chen Caiyue that he had the funds and connections to become rich.
"Ha, even though you say that, you still read the book."
"It's quite enjoyable to read it without thinking about it. Look at the last page of this book. This is the review I wrote."
Turning to the last page of the novel, there was a line of words written on it with a fountain pen: I am a local dog, I love to read!
"Haha, brother, you are really funny, but you still have to have dreams, otherwise life will be too boring."
Chen Xi was amused by the driver's words.
"When the renovation is complete, it will probably be difficult to drive a taxi, so I have to prepare for another way out."
"You're not going to change your career to become a motorcycle taxi driver, are you?"
"I'll see if I can start a small business. If not, I'll change my job and work for others. I don't want to become rich, but I'll be satisfied with making a little money to support my family."
"Brother, what did you do before?"
"I am the boss."
"..."
After the car arrived home, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask about the other party's previous occupation. It seemed that he was also a down-and-out boss.
At this age, with a family, I’ve become indifferent to certain things and don’t want to fight for them again.
The two chatted happily, and the driver wanted to exchange contact information with him, and he did not refuse. After getting off the car, Chen Xi carried his luggage and went home.
"Hey, I just got home! Want to treat me to a meal? Just tell me what you want. Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
As soon as he entered the house and put his luggage away, he received a call from Zheng Xin.
Chen Caiyue was not at home at the moment, and Diandian was also missing, most likely having been taken to the company.
Zheng Xin called him and asked him to meet at a residential area that he had developed. The residential area was not far from here, just in an adjacent district.
Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes. I wish you all a happy new year!
