But Chen Liping ignored their expressions and said with a smile:
"Online games are not always harmful. It depends on your self-control. For example, my son Xiaofan used to play games, but it did not affect his studies at all and he was able to go to a prestigious university."
Chen Liping had a happy smile on her face. After all, he was her son, who studied well, had good grades, and had a high degree of education. As a mother, she was naturally proud of him.
However, when Chen Gensheng and his wife heard her proud words, they immediately felt ashamed.
The two of them had awkward smiles on their faces and lowered their heads silently.
Although both of them knew that Chen Ming would not be a deserter, his actions were far inferior to Zhang Bufan's.
Now looking at Zhang Bufan from his aunt's family and then at his own Chen Ming, he suddenly felt embarrassed in front of his relatives.
After all, this gap is really too big.
At this time, Uncle Chen Yongchun pinched his fingers, muttered involuntarily, and then said:
"Twelve thousand a month, that's more than one hundred thousand a year. Education still has a future. Unlike us, we didn't receive much education, and we work hard every day but don't make much money."
In this day and age, the basic salary is still very low. For many people, an annual salary of 20,000 or 30,000 is considered good.
Zhang Bufan earns over 100,000 yuan a year. In their eyes, this income makes him rich.
However, Chen Liping smiled complacently and squinted her eyes and said, "One hundred thousand a year? You underestimate my Xiaofan. He makes at least two hundred thousand a year!"
As soon as these words came out, all the relatives couldn't help but gasp, their faces full of shock.
It is still 2010 now. If you have a million, you are definitely a wealthy man, and you can even be said to have no worries about food and clothing.
Zhang Bufan makes more than 200,000 yuan a year. Doesn't that mean he will be a millionaire in five years? !
Uncle Chen Yongchun asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"
07 He just calculated that Zhang Bufan's salary was 12,000 yuan a month, which was only 140,000 or 150,000 yuan a year. How could he have an extra 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in income? !
Facing the shock of her relatives, Chen Liping was obviously very proud, and she raised her head slightly and replied:
"Xiao Fan told me that he can get 18-20 yuan a year in salary, plus a year-end bonus. They are currently working on a new project with some kind of equity incentive. If it succeeds, they may even get millions in the future."
Everyone was shocked again, stunned and speechless.
They don’t know what an 18 or 20 salary is, and they don’t understand what equity is.
But millions! That's very tempting!
A millionaire is definitely a wealthy person!
Many relatives couldn't help but light up their eyes.
Hearing about so much money, everyone's heartbeat quickened.
After all, I have never seen it in my life!
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Chen Liping couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then shouted to her son's bedroom: "Xiaofan, come here and tell your uncle and the others about your company."
Zhang Xiaofan was not chatting with his relatives here at this time. After returning to his home in the village, he went into the house and basically did not open the door until he ate.
In his eyes, he really has no idea what to talk about with these parents' relatives who may not even know what the Internet is.
As for those young people of the same age who tell dirty jokes and clamor for drinking as soon as they meet, I also feel out of tune with them.
After all, he is also a technical person, so to some extent, he still hopes that the topics they talk about can be more high-end.
He didn't ask for any poetry or songs, after all, he found it boring.
But he is still happy to talk about games, life and so on.
But many young people in the village prefer drinking to games and life, which makes Zhang Bufan, who rarely drinks, a little difficult to accept...
I can’t continue the conversation with my parents, and I can’t continue the conversation with my peers. I can’t say that I’m talking to my younger generation…
Therefore, Zhang Bufan felt that the computer and the Internet in the room were where he belonged.
However, after hearing his mother's instructions, Zhang Bufan dared not disobey.
After all, his mother likes to gain face by praising herself every year, and as a son, he cannot let his mother lose face in front of relatives.
So in the room, he shouted impatiently: "Got it."
Then he turned off the computer and walked out of the room.
Zhang Bufan did look like a technical person. He was thin, wore a pair of glasses on his nose, and was wearing a thick coat.
He came over and sat down next to my mother.
The bright and colorful clothes make me feel out of place with the people here.
After seeing Zhang Bufan coming out, several relatives couldn't help but say:
"This child is too thin. You are such a jerk as a mother. Can't you let your child eat more?"
"Yes, this is a future millionaire. He is so thin, he must look like a millionaire."
"That's right. Look at any rich person who is so thin. That's extraordinary. You have to eat more and look like a rich person."
…
Facing these arguments, Chen Liping smiled and said, "I have long told him to eat more, but he just won't listen, and there is nothing I can do."
After a pause, she said to Zhang Bufan, "Did you hear that? All the uncles and aunts said that you have to eat more. You are so thin that everyone thinks I don't give you food."
Zhang Bufan nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhang Liping continued, "Hurry up and tell Uncle San and the others about your company."
Zhang Bufan couldn't help but frown. After all, his company was not a small company, but a large Internet company. He felt that even if he explained it, these relatives would not understand.
But since his mother had given the order, he had no choice. He always listened to his mother, so he slowly said:
"The company I'm working for now is called Penguin Bluehole Games. It's not a small company, it's a subsidiary of Penguin."
"You all know Penguin, right? QQ is owned by Penguin. DNF, CrossFire, and QQ Speed are all games from Penguin."
After listening to Zhang Bufan's words, everyone looked at each other.
What penguin? What blue hole
Is this for raising penguins or digging holes
So what are these D and F
All the relatives didn't know much about these things on the Internet, and they were really confused after listening to his introduction.
Chen Gensheng also had a look of confusion on his face, and subconsciously wanted to knock on the pipe he was holding.
Normally when he was at home, he would knock the ashes into the stove, but just as he stretched out his hand, he came to his senses and realized that the thing in front of him was not for burning fire.
Then he casually knocked the pipe to the ground and said, "Xiao Fan, we don't know what you are talking about. Just tell me why you can make so much money. Is this online game really that profitable?"
What he was thinking at this moment was, if online games are so profitable, then his son has played them so many times before, how could he not understand some of the tricks
When he returns from military service, maybe he can make some money from this if possible.
Facing Chen Gensheng's words, Zhang Bufan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said with some pride: "That must be profitable. I am working on a new project now, an online game called Jedi Battle Royale."
After a pause, he continued, "I am a senior technician. My monthly salary alone is 12,000 yuan, and I can get about 18 salaries every year. In a year, my salary alone is 210,000 yuan."
Seeing the confused faces of the relatives, Zhang Bufan saw that they didn't seem to understand the annual salary of 18, so he explained:
"The meaning of 18 months' salary is actually very simple. There are only 12 months in a year, but I can get 18 months' salary."
After hearing this, all the relatives were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized.
"There is actually such a thing. This company is really great."
Uncle San couldn't help but marvel at this. It was the first time they heard of such an 18-year salary operation.
"Yes, isn't this six months' salary for a white-collar worker? You can get it without doing any work."
A relative also expressed his feelings.
They can get money without doing any work. In their eyes, this is the company giving away money for free!
They also knew that Zhang Bufan graduated from the prestigious Fudan University. They used to think that after graduation, he would have an easier time finding a job and would have a higher chance of joining a large company.
But I didn't expect that after joining a big company, not only would the salary be high, but I also didn't expect to receive this kind of extra monthly salary.
Zhang Bufan went on to say: "Salary is nothing, the year-end bonus and equity incentives are the big ones."
At this time, a relative who came to the city to work said, "I know about the year-end bonus, but what is equity incentive?"
He had just heard the foremen chatting and found out that those who wore white hats and stood on the construction site to supervise but did not do any work actually received bonuses at the end of each year.
The rest of the relatives were also bewildered; they didn't quite understand any of this.
After a pause, the relative who had spoken earlier said, "And I heard that the year-end bonus doesn't seem to be that much, less than a month's salary."
I also heard this from the foreman.
Zhang Bufan quickly shook his head and said, "We are a big company, which is different from your construction site."
He thought about how to answer, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Let me take another popular game of ours as an example. For the game Dungeon Fighter, the core employees of their project team can get a year-end bonus of 100,000!"
All the relatives were shocked again.
"Oh my goodness, it would take me five or six years to earn just one bonus!"
