In the early summer, the city of Yan was steaming with heat. When he woke up in the morning, Lin Jingzhe was confused and faced Lu Xiaojiang's chubby face, who was squatting beside the bed.
He now has to juggle work in addition to his studies. He has long wanted to rent a convenient house outside, but he has never had the time, so he still lives in the dormitory most of the time. Fortunately, Lu Xiaojiang and Wang Jun and Chen Jiankang are both easy-going people. Sometimes, they will help Lin Jingzhe to cover up when they meet the bedchamber, so they have been together for a long time, and everyone has a good relationship.
He raised his hand and pinched Lu Xiaojiang's soft and chubby cheek, but Lu Xiaojiang did not block it in a good-natured manner, but just eager to try: "Get up, the snack bar on Sun Street is newly opened today, I heard that the audience was full on the opening day. 30% off, let's go together!"
Lin Jingzhe reacted for a while before realizing that he was talking about the new store that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were about to open, because Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang had mentioned it once before, but only recently, and did not specifically say when it opened. . Wang Jun came in from outside the bedroom, probably to wash his face. He was covered in water, and his face was helpless. He was abruptly woken up from his sleep by Lu Xiaojiang five minutes ago: "Get up, if you don't get up, he can stay in bed. Staring at you for half an hour is like a dream come true."
Chen Jianchao put on a large T-shirt with the school badge on it. It was a souvenir issued by the school on the day the freshman signed up. Most people had already thrown it away, but this one was worn and washed by him. . He has been acquainted with this group of roommates who seem to be more experienced than him for almost a year, and his personality is much brighter now than when he first entered the school. He smiled shyly and echoed Wang Jun's words: "Yes, you are often absent. I don't know about the dormitory, he started planning it half a month ago, and he even went there last weekend, saying he wanted to step on the spot."
Is it that exaggerated
Lin Jingzhe basically didn't care much about the Zhou family's snack bar. He thought it was just an ordinary opening, but there was such a turbulent undercurrent hidden behind it.
But in fact, the influence of Zhou's snack bar is really bigger than he imagined.
The news of these nearby universities in Yan City is all exchanged, especially for the half-old children of this age, the problems that they ponder in their spare time every day are nothing more than eating, drinking, and having good part-time jobs. The snack street near Wutong University was originally only mediocrely well-known, but since Zhou's mother opened a stall there, the sense of existence has suddenly become huge. In the past few weeks, only students near the dormitory building of Wutong University visited, but later, students from several surrounding schools all came here. This food is especially delicious and because the supply is in short supply, the food stalls often close early after noon. It has even been published in the student newspaper of Yanshi University. Many students such as Lu Xiaojiang who have a little spare time and money are very happy to sit there. The bus takes ten minutes to join the party.
Even Chen Jiankang, who was very economical on weekdays, was taken to taste it once. After returning, he didn't feel sorry for the money he spent, but he couldn't stop sighing that it was worth the money.
Lin Jingzhe was pulled onto the bus. There was a direct route to Sun Street at the entrance of the School of Economics. The warm sun was shining on him. Lu Xiaojiang looked out the window and said excitedly, "In order to open the store, the boss has not been out for more than two weeks. Stall, I dreamed that I was drinking pork vermicelli soup!"
Lin Jingzhe smiled and listened to their nonsense. Although he didn't participate in the topic, he occasionally cheered. In his mind, he pondered the issues that he should ponder, such as business affairs, such as the office that Deng Mai had been asked to find a suitable starting point from the real estate. The earliest CBD in Yan City in the north of the city has not yet been built, so there are still few options for office space in the city. Office buildings are in short supply, and many small companies have to rent and work in residential buildings like Lin Jingzhe did when he first arrived in Yan City. sense. Lin Jingzhe is not in financial distress now, so he is naturally more willing to start from a better starting point, and has put forward many requirements for the office environment.
This added a lot of workload to Deng Mai, so he searched for a long time. It was not until yesterday afternoon that the other party called his bedroom and said that he had found a suitable place.
At that time, Lin Jingzhe asked him to immediately go to the management to sign the lease contract, and to sign the office site for at least two years within the estimated time period required for the planning and development of the building in the triangle.
For this reason, Deng Mai will definitely not be able to catch up with the opening of the new store today. Before going out, Lin Jingzhe also received a call from him to report in advance that he was about to leave. This made Lin Jingzhe wonder if he needed a mobile phone, although he used it very well. I'm not used to the big brother who doesn't have a caller ID and is extremely bulky these days, but it's really inconvenient for Deng Mai to make phone calls from the dormitory and major hotels to contact him.
Deng Mai's one was bought for him by Lin Jingzhe as early as when he needed to go out for entertainment. It cost nearly 20,000 yuan. It was like a huge brick next to his ear, but it was still a symbol of status and wealth in contemporary times.
In the last life to the later stage of social development, Lin Jingzhe hardly ever bought a phone by himself. Every year to half a year, the company executive will assign him the latest mobile phone, ranging from 3.5 inches to 5.7 inches. The technology is getting more and more mature, and the images are getting clearer and clearer. At that time, he only took it for granted and didn't cherish it at all. To this day, he began to madly miss those who will appear in the future, who don't need to dial by handwriting by memory and phone book. When the call comes, he can know who the other party is. whose smartphone.
Two years later, in 1993, bc company will join IBM to show a mobile phone with the concept of intelligence at the exhibition, but unfortunately this mobile phone only produced a few thousand units and was not promoted. It will be after the millennium to truly enter the era of smartphones, and it will be at least ten years away from the present.
The business opportunities here are also huge. Some of the industries he was engaged in in his previous life were involved in this. If possible, Lin Jingzhe would really like to get involved, but unfortunately without the skills and talents, his current energy is difficult to start from withdraw from the real estate project.
Near Sun Street, the sound of firecrackers could be heard one after another. Before the bus arrived at the station, it passed in front of the focal point of the firecrackers. Outside the bright windows, the commercial street and a small shop at the edge of the intersection were already crowded with people. Customers who could not enter the store crowded the door and the street, forming a long queue.
The open car window followed the wind and poured in the aroma, mixed with meat and many spices. Lu Xiaojiang jumped up from his seat, and even Lin Jingzhe recovered from his memories. He recalled it and recognized that it was the smell of beef brisket in a casserole that Zhou's mother had cooked for them at home.
"Ahhh-"
Before the car stopped, Lu Xiaojiang rushed over like Chen Jianfeng.
Looking at the crowded queue from a distance, it is even more amazing to look at it up close. The dozens of square stores are now crowded. The flower baskets placed on both sides of the new store for the opening form have already been opened a long way, and they are placed in a small stove in front of the store. The fire roared, and it was from here that there was a fragrance that even pedestrians frequently looked back to.
Zhou's mother had a floral headscarf tied around her head, and she was sweating profusely on the stove with Zhou's father, who was wearing a sleeve. Dad saw him first.
Dad Zhou carried a stack of high plastic stools, which he quickly laid out on the sidewalk in front of the store, and placed low plastic stools next to each high stool. A few of his customers followed him with their morning numbers. I hurriedly sat down on the low plastic stool. He wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck, panting and shouting, "Gao Sheng! Jing Zhe is here!"
"Jing Zhe? Why are you here?" Gao Sheng ran up from the back of the queue with a torn workbook for guests to write numbers, his face flushed from the sun, "Who told you that Opening time? Aunt Zhou said before that you were so busy, so let's not tell you."
"Hey buddy, please give me a number!"
The new guest at the back patted him on the shoulder, Gao Sheng brushed a few strokes and then tore it off and handed it back. The mother Zhou, who was cooking, also looked over at this time, and even took time out of her busy schedule to look inside. After shouting, Zhou Haitang got out of the crowd and stared at Lin Jingzhe. Mother Zhou said, "Haitang, take Jingzhe to the small attic where we can rest. The fan is on, it's hot outside!"
Lin Jingzhe wanted to help a little bit, but he just didn't give them a hand. Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang dragged their arms through the crowded attic, and Lu Xiaojiang and his party, who had just received the number, also received special treatment. When passing by the store, Lin Jingzhe glanced at the wall, and there was a printed list of dishes and price lists on it. From the cheapest braised chicken feet to the most expensive beef brisket casserole, the snack bar had more choices than the stalls. many. Of course, the price will also be slightly higher, and the price of some dishes is even much higher than the market price. For example, the beef brisket casserole noodles for a pot of five yuan is more than one or two yuan in ordinary noodle restaurants. Too much expensive. But even so, Lin Jingzhe still heard no less than five tables of guests ordering this noodle all the way up to the attic.
The small attic was probably used by Mother Zhou for rest and naps. It was a little narrow. A short-legged table was placed in the low space. On the table, there were several bottles and jars filled with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. But even so, this special treatment is still much better than in a crowded storefront. No one cared about the humble environment. Lu Xiaojiang put his whole body on the bottles and jars on the table. Almost as soon as he sat down, he opened one of the jars and scooped a spoonful into his small plate. Pickles in it.
Nothing matched, he directly pulled the spoonful of pickled vegetables into his mouth, and then chewed it out with an intoxicated sound.
"That's the taste! It hasn't changed at all!" Lu Xiaojiang's expression was so exaggerated that he was about to cry, "I think it's going crazy, it's hard to sleep well if you don't eat well..."
This is Zhou's own pickled vegetables. They use bamboo shoots, shredded peppers, radish, dried daylily and mushroom diced, and stir-fried bacon to give off a fragrant special smell. It can be mixed with rice and noodles. Decay is magic. This is an unforgettable taste in Lin Jingzhe's memory. In his opinion, it is countless times more delicious than the dishes of the famous brands in later generations. When Yan Da first started school, Zhou's mother asked him to bring a can, and more than half of it was knocked out at Mr. Fang's house, and the remaining half was eaten clean by Lu Xiaojiang, whom they had just met, on the day they moved into the dormitory. clean.
The attic stairs made thumping footsteps, Dad Gao appeared with a white casserole whose lid was still flapping, and the rich aroma swept in with him. Dad Gao put the pot on the table, opened the lid, and the steaming steam rolled out like a mushroom cloud. , today this pot of beef brisket is well stewed, there are not a few pots left, your auntie cloves deliberately distributed a few for you."
After he said this, he left quickly without pausing for a while to continue working. Lu Xiaojiang repeatedly said that he was lucky and hurriedly scooped out a spoonful of soup. Their casserole is bigger than the ones seen downstairs. It is probably the normal size for four people. In the black and red soup, there are several pieces of fat and thin beef brisket cut into large cubes that have long been stewed. Lin Jingzhe took a bite, and the strong aroma of beef in his mouth and the delicious and mellow soup made his stomach that had no movement suddenly became hungry.
The beef brisket has more fat than other parts of the beef. The long-term stewing turns these fat fat that should be greasy into another melt-in-your-mouth texture, which can be tasted in the salty and fresh soup. A little bit of sweetness penetrates into the fibers of every beef, filling the lips and teeth when chewing, and refuses to give up any corner of the territory.
The noodles are pulled by hand, which is what Zhou's mother has always done. The noodles with just the right thickness are cooked in boiling water, which does not leave the raw noodles with a hard texture, nor is it soft and mushy like most dried noodles. The slightly chewy noodles are smooth and elastic, and the soup is covered with the essence of the beef brisket soup. The noodles and the beef brisket for four people only served a few minutes, and they were swept away in the hot state. Lu Xiaojiang even poured out a drop of the soup at the bottom of the pot, even though he was burping, he still insisted that he was not full.
When everyone went downstairs, there was no shortage of people in the store, and occasionally heard the lament of some people who were unwilling to sell out the beef brisket noodles.
Lu Xiaojiang couldn't eat the noodles, so he ordered another pig's trotter that had been marinated until the skin was so rotten that the bones could be bitten.
With him driving the atmosphere, many of the guests who had been queuing quietly gradually abandoned their image, and the large marinated pots next to the stove became the sweet pastry in the eyes of everyone.
The marinade was brought to Yan City by Zhou's mother from Liyun. Her unique and special secret recipe, Gao's father moved the pot to the inner room. When he came out, he was dizzy. He stood at the threshold and tore off the already soaked towel to wipe. Turning his face, he ended up with a table of meals in a blank mind.
Two pots of beef brisket noodles and a few marinated snacks, he stood blankly for a while holding the twenty dollars, and then stuffed it into a pocket already stuffed with banknotes at his waist.
Since the first wave of customers poured into the store, he has been stunned. The Zhou family and the couple told him that the business in the store would probably be good, but he never thought it would be so good. This morning's turnover alone, he roughly estimated that it was no less than a thousand yuan, and there were still many customers lining up outside. When all these people had eaten and left, it would not be thousands, or even tens of thousands? !
This number has exceeded the imagination of this middle-aged man who has always regarded construction site work as a high salary. In addition to being dazed, he even gave birth to a trace of panic.
Because the 20% profit that the Zhou family had promised him was much more than he originally expected, he really couldn't accept the money with peace of mind.
If you don't have to wait until the day is over, I'd better come forward to discuss it again.
Chen Jiankang, who has always been frugal, couldn't resist the temptation to buy a few chicken feet. Lu Xiaojiang and Wang Jun ate twice their usual amount of food. However, because of Lin Jingzhe, Zhou's parents and Gao Sheng's father refused to accept the money, so scared that Lu Xiaojiang and the others put the money on the stove, turned around and ran quickly. Zhou's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to give the money to Lin Jingzhe and let him take it away. Lin Jingzhe originally wanted to help, but when he saw this, he quickly said goodbye and left. After walking out, Gao Sheng chased after him and gave him a bowl of fresh marinade. of pickles.
After they were all busy with their studies, they rarely met each other during this wave of urination, and Lin Jingzhe had another job, so the two groups couldn't even make time for the phone call.
Gao Sheng instructed him to bring the pickles back to remember to eat them early, and added: "By the way, Liangpi has organized the first batch of employees in the interest group. We tried the program last week, but there are still a few loopholes to be patched. , maybe the first batch of search programs will be easier.”
"I see." Lin Jingzhe was actually prepared, and Liangpi's plan was indeed very good, but now that the domestic technology is here after all, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.
Gao Sheng hesitated for a moment: "Jing Zhe, why do I feel that things are not that simple, although the search program that hung up last week was a trial, but it has been several days, and apart from our internal people, there is no external click. Liangpi said that there is no competition in the market now, and the situation will get better when it is improved, but I think... Should it be better to do some publicity?"
Lin Jingzhe was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Gao Sheng to have this idea. After getting in touch with Liangpi, he discovered long ago that the backbones in their interest group are almost all technical talents who only care about technology. Have some unrealistic naivety about the market. For example, in the planning book, from beginning to end, apart from technology, Liangpi did not mention any issues related to marketing.
Lin Jingzhe has also come into contact with many technical talents in later generations. Knowing that this kind of thinking cannot be forced, he originally prepared to let Liangpi and others manage the technology and promote himself to find another team. I didn't expect this concept to be proposed by Gao Sheng, who he didn't put in the plan from beginning to end.
He took two steps back, folded his arms and looked at Gao Sheng a few times, and suddenly found that the other's eyebrows already had a bit of sharpness in the future.
Gao Sheng was seen a little uncomfortable, he frowned and raised his hand to cover his eyes, then quickly let go, complaining, "I'm telling you the business."
"I'm listening, I'm listening." Lin Jingzhe said, "Your suggestion makes sense, so tell me, what specific ideas do you have?"
"A little bit." Gao Sheng took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and motioned him to see. It was full of handwritten URLs, followed by Chinese comment names, mostly forums and chat rooms. He pointed to the number marked at the back and said: "Look, these are the most famous websites in our country now, and almost all netizens gather here. My idea is that when our software is officially put into use, Otherwise, let's make some posts on these websites together, and don't advertise directly, just say that we have found a very useful website or something, and then list the benefits and recommend them to use it first... "
He has obviously been thinking about this concept for a long time. After talking about it, he said a lot, and he perfected the idea of almost every step to the cell.
Lin Jingzhe heard a smile in his eyes, but he always knew that Gao Sheng was not a really simple and honest person. But I didn't expect that the other party's signs of this ability would appear at such a young age. Is this ability originally carried in the mother's womb, not the result of experience
There is no such concept in the market today, and even the owner who proposed this concept has some misplaced positioning of his promotion method. The prototype of the navy.
But to put it nicely, it can also be called a marketing team. This marketing method is unknown in contemporary times, but it has become a category that countless companies must contact in future generations. The company Lin Jingzhe worked for was already one of the top 500 in the world at that time, with a deep foundation and huge influence, but it still had to spend at least nine figures on it every year. For the market, Jiuxiang was not afraid of the times when the alleys were deep. Sooner or later, especially in the Internet-related industries, popularity represents a return, and no company can turn a blind eye.
A good marketing team can even become a resource that countless companies compete for. This industry looks like a bubble, but its potential and rewards are far beyond people's imagination.
However, Gao Sheng obviously didn't know what kind of world he was vaguely touching. After talking about his idea, he felt that it was indeed a bit dirty. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He asked Lin Jingzhe, "What do you think? Liang Pi said. It's not necessary, but I think it doesn't cost you a few posts anyway, right?"
"Yeah~" Lin Jingzhe had a sigh of a young child in his heart. He patted Gao Sheng's arm and said gently, "Do what you want, if you don't have enough funds, you can come to me for approval. You Remember, although the leaders of Feifan Network are Liang Pi and Wu Wangfei, I trust you the most. Some opinions, such as this one today, if your proposal conflicts with them, you can be bold and stick to your own ideas. "
It was also beneficial to Lin Jingzhe. Although he is happy to see the pair of founders of Feifei Network work closely together, it does not mean that he is willing to join forces with the two to completely ignore his own investor's opinion.
The two of them are very cowardly and sincere at the moment, but the most easily changeable thing in the world is the human heart. In the next ten or twenty years, if the Feihan Internet really takes off, will they still be able to maintain their present sincerity
Therefore, Gao Sheng must be stronger, and Lin Jingzhe will unreservedly support him to be stronger, even if it is sometimes the same as it is now, which runs counter to the ideas of the two founders. But only if he is strong and sharp, Liang Pi and Wu Wangfei will always be in awe of Lin Jingzhe.
Gao Sheng still didn't understand the way, only that his idea was supported by Lin Jingzhe. He was a little happy and a little puzzled to get the Shang Fang sword that was unsheathed from now on.
How he will start his plan Lin Jingzhe is unknown. After returning to the dormitory, Lin Jingzhe received a call from Deng Mai.
The other party was supposed to sign the lease contract starting from the first office in the real estate this morning. Lin Jingzhe started planning on how many people he should recruit based on the area and scope he had previously reported, but he didn't know that this phone call came back. good news.
Deng Maidao: "Brother Lin, the contract has not been signed."
Lin Jingzhe heard that the mood in his voice was wrong, and his brows suddenly raised: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the rent?"
"No, it was the management who temporarily broke the contract. Everyone had already negotiated it in the morning. Their person in charge answered the phone half an hour before the contract was signed, and came back and said they couldn't rent it to us."
This is clearly a form of contempt. Deng Mai was so angry that Lin Jingzhe was silent for a while and asked, "Do you know the reason?"
"I asked." Deng Mai said angrily, "I said that I had already decided to rent it to another company, and I had already decided to walk us for two days. Isn't this a joke!"
Lin Jingzhe thought for a moment, this was a bit unusual. He was not as angry as Deng Mai, but said solemnly: "You wait there, I will be there in a while."
****
The office building that Deng Mai wants to rent is one of the largest buildings in Yan City at present, with a total height of 19 floors. The floor that Deng Mai likes is on the 16th floor and covers an area of more than 500 square meters. The facilities and lighting are considered in contemporary standards. It's very good.
In the management office of the office building, Lin Jingzhe leaned on the sofa in the reception area and drank tea expressionlessly. He crossed Erlang's legs, held the tea cup in one hand, and slid lazily with the tea lid in the other, as if he was relaxed and in a daze, but his eyes stared at the manager of the leasing department opposite, without saying a word.
He sat here for less than ten minutes, and the leasing minister, who had been avoiding Deng Mai's questioning, rushed over as if his butt was on fire. Lin Jingzhe heard footsteps and threw a note at the other party with a smile instead of a smile. Eyes: "Yo, Minister Wu, it's really not easy to meet you once."
He was the owner of the real estate industry, and his meaning was completely different from that of Deng Mai. This yin and yang sentence made the Minister Wu look very embarrassed, and hurriedly defended himself: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let President Lin You waited for a long time, it's really too busy with work over there, you said this, isn't it ruining my life?"
"Ha." Lin Jingzhe leaned forward, put the teacup on the table, and made a soft collision sound, "Really."
He looks young, but his aura is no less than that of a middle-aged entrepreneur who has been on the battlefield. The Minister Wu wiped his sweat and sat down in front of him with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Lin, this is really us. It's my fault, I'll ask you to make a trip. In this way, although the contract between you and us has not been formally signed, but to apologize, I will call the shots and pay you half of the liquidated damages of the lease contract as a little favor. how?"
It's good that he didn't mention the liquidated damages, but it is even more wrong to mention the liquidated damages. I would rather give money than rent a house, there is no mystery in it. Lin Jingzhe really doesn't believe it. He looked at each other with a smile and asked, "Minister Wu, do I look like I'm short of money?"
The other party waved his hands again and again: "How could it be, don't think so! It's really our fault, it's not that we don't want to rent it to you, it's our business omission, and you have signed a contract with someone else before. If you don't tell me, what can we do to calm you down a little, I, Wu, will definitely die!"
Lin Jingzhe watched for a while, and he could see that the other party didn't want to offend him. In this case, the person who could drive the other party to do this might be worse off than himself.
It was boring to argue with these little fish and shrimps, so he restrained his smile and returned to his calm look. In this minister Wu's anxiety, he seemed to think for a while, and then said: "Our manager Deng really likes your position. , how about Minister Wu reveal the tenant you signed with you before? I'll go talk to him in person."
"This… "
The other party obviously hesitated for a while, not daring to speak.
Lin Jingzhe stared at him for a while, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only sigh and say, "They are on the sixteenth floor right now, if you insist so much, I will ask them to come up. Bar."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the landline and made a call, and after a while, there were footsteps and conversations outside.
The door was pushed open, and the office staff came in first, revealing the tenants walking behind them.
Qi Qing stepped in in a suit and leather shoes, and Jiang Qia, who was wearing a cheongsam, stepped forward and saw Lin Jingzhe at first sight, and the two of them were immediately taken aback.
Lin Jingzhe's face turned gloomy uncontrollably. He squinted and asked Minister Wu, "Are you sure? It's them?"
The answer was obviously no, but Minister Wu was still nodding with sweat on his forehead.
"Okay, I get it." Lin Jingzhe understood that there was no need to talk about this matter, he simply patted his thigh and stood up, nodded, and walked towards the door.
Minister Wu knew that he must have offended him, and lamented in his heart, but he had no choice but to chase after him desperately to try to remedy: "Mr. Lin! Boss Lin!"
Lin Jingzhe ignored him, and at the moment when they passed by Jiang Qiaqia, Qi Qing was also very uneasy by the momentum around him, and wanted to say hello: "Mr. Lin..."
Lin Jingzhe didn't even look at him, he took Deng Mai and stepped out. Minister Wu didn't dare to say it, so he went to check it himself.
Qi Qing stood there and watched his back walk away, turned back and sighed, Chao Jiang said, "It's over, I'm completely offended now."
Jiang Chacha was also a little nervous, but after thinking about it, he still restrained the worried expression on his face: "What else can I do, I can only offend him. If you don't offend him, you offend President Qi."
Qi Qing sighed in his heart that the fire at the city gate had affected Chi Yu, the big brother in the bag rang loudly, and he hurriedly took it out to answer.
Qi Kai's voice came from the receiver: "Is the matter done?"
"It's done, it's done." Qi Qing hurriedly said, "As soon as you called, they signed the contract before they dared to let go."
Qi Kai sneered, obviously looking down on them, and immediately hung up the phone after confirming that Lin Jingzhe's matter had been disturbed.
