Compared with later generations, if you don't have hundreds of millions of dollars to burn, you can't even think about gaining a foothold in the Internet world. But now, if you want to enter the industry, the investment cost required is almost negligible. However, Wen Liang has never been interested in building a portal to hype up concepts. His goal is still to build real industries. In addition, the domestic Internet market matured too late. Until 2000 years ago, major Internet giants were basically in a stage of confusion, experimentation and messing around. If it weren't for the mobile dream network that started to cheat and deceive, and a large amount of venture capital entered the market, I'm afraid they would have given up long ago. Therefore, Wen Liang's energy or attention has not been inclined to this aspect in the past two years.
But in the final analysis, the future world belongs to the Internet, and he planned to invest in Chuangtu Technology to prepare for this. He would first build the foundation and hardware, and then start to develop content and software on this basis. However, Si Yajing's words today made him change his mind. Instead of waiting for the domestic market to mature, it would be better to come in and guide the market in the right direction. This would have a positive impact on both the rational use of social resources and the positive improvement of people's lives.
As for whether doing so would cause the major portals that are struggling to survive to follow suit and become stronger opponents in the future, Wen Liang didn't care.
When doing business, you don’t have to kill all your competitors. The Internet market is infinitely large and can accommodate any company to survive healthily!
After leaving Qinghe, Wen Liang called Yin Yong and told him about the idea of setting up a network technology department. He would organize all departments of the company to conduct demonstrations and officially start the project at the end of this year. Although Yin Yong didn't know why Wen Liang suddenly wanted to develop the Internet at this time, Chuangtu was working on projects related to telecommunications equipment, and there were countless reserve talents. He could start the work by simply transferring some people, so he agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang smiled at Si Yajing in the passenger seat and said, "Thanks for reminding me today. Otherwise, if I had waited a few more years, I might have lost the opportunity."
Si Yajing smiled and said, "You are so thoughtful, so don't flatter me."
Wen Liang wanted to reach out and said, "Really? Let your husband take a look. Your face is so smooth that even gold can't stick to it..."
Si Yajing's pretty face turned red. Among Wen Liang's women, she was the only one who was a mother. But she was also the only one who always felt a little inexplicably shy when facing Wen Liang's teasing. She dodged to the side and said angrily, "We're driving, be careful..."
Wen Liang was just joking with her. Safety is the first priority when driving. He withdrew his mischievous hand and asked, "How is Tutu doing recently? Have you gained some weight?"
"Don't ever say she's fat," Si Yajing seemed to have thought of something funny, with an unconcealable smile in her eyes, and said, "The day before yesterday I put a new skirt on her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and then told me very unhappily not to wear it. I asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything. After coaxing me for a long time, she stammered and told me that she was too fat and that the skirt didn't look good on her..."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "Tutu knows how to be beautiful at such a young age. She must have learned it from her beautiful mother!"
Si Yajing refused and said, "How can I have that?"
"You still don't admit it. Foreign scientists have already proven that the love of beauty is a genetic trait!"
Si Yajing tilted her head and looked at Wen Liang, suspiciously asking, "Is this true?"
Wen Liang sighed and said, "I hope our Tutu doesn't inherit your stupidity... Of course... it's fake..."
"You're teasing me again!" Si Yajing said angrily. If Wen Liang hadn't been driving, she might have pounced on him and bit him hard.
After sending Si Yajing home, Wen Liang went upstairs to see Tutu. Unexpectedly, the little girl hadn't seen Wen Liang for a long time, so she became upset and turned away and ignored him. Uncle Wen scratched his head, made faces and told stories, and finally almost lay down to be ridden like a horse. Tutu finally burst into laughter, raised her head, and said in a baby voice full of careful hope: "I want to see my dad every three days..."
Looking at Tutu's eyes as clear as a mirror, it seems that there are countless childish innocence, but underneath the innocence is a fact that no one can deny, that is, for her, there was no father in her childhood!
Wen Liang has long replaced his biological father in Tutu's heart, but he is too busy and cannot really take on the responsibilities that a father should have, such as companionship!
So Tutu sensibly told Wen Liang that she wanted to see him once every three days. Wen Liang felt a pang in her heart and reached out to touch her head. He opened and closed his mouth but was unable to give her a definite answer.
"Tutu, be good. Brother is very busy. I will come to play with you when I have time, okay?" Si Yajing hurried over, picked up Tutu and comforted him softly. Then she shook her head slightly at Wen Liang, telling him not to care about the child's words.
Wen Liang sighed, leaned over and kissed Tutu on the cheek, and said with a smile: "How about this, tomorrow I will take you to Century Park to play water kayaking. The boat will fly very high, and then rush down with a swish, and the splashing water will be this high..."
Wen Liang gestured a height with his hands, and Tutu nodded happily. The child's mind came and went quickly, and he immediately forgot about his previous request and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I want to play!"
Wen Liang looked up again when he walked downstairs and saw Si Yajing holding Tutu standing by the window. The little girl's reluctant look almost made him unable to leave. Wen Liang waved at her, suddenly stuck out his tongue and made a weird face, which made Tutu giggle, and then he turned around and got in the car.
Bi Ya Si was having a good time of business at this time, with no less than 10 to 20 people coming in and out. However, Ding Mei was not in the store. When Xin Xin was asked, she could not explain clearly, only saying that she went out with some friends. Wen Liang was a little puzzled. Ding Mei's circle of friends was not large, just the neighbors around the Municipal Party Committee's family compound and the former employees of the agricultural machinery factory. But since she opened the store, she was busy all day and didn't interact much with those friends. Who could come to see her? Ding Lan happened to come back from doing some work, and pulled Wen Liang into the inner room. With anxiety between her brows, she said, "Xiao Liang, there is something I think is wrong, and I still have to tell you..."
"Third Aunt, don't be impatient, please speak slowly."
Ding Lan hesitated and said, "Recently... Recently..."
Wen Liang observed his expression and asked, "Is it about my mother?"
"Well," Ding Lan gritted her teeth and said with determination, "Anyway, I think I have to tell you this! It's like this, about a month ago, my elder sister went to Yuquan Clothing City to purchase goods, and met a Suhai person named Lin Yufen on the bus. This woman worked in a company, what was the name of the company... Wait, I have her business card," she rummaged through her shirt pockets and found a finely crafted business card and handed it to Wen Liang, saying, "It's this Shenyu Investment and Financial Company. I don't know what kind of magic potion my sister was fed by her, and she insisted on participating in an investment project that Lin Yufen's company was doing, claiming to have a thousand-fold return rate..."
"Oh?" Wen Liang took the business card and looked at it from front to back. Apart from Lin Yufen, regional manager, Shenyu Investment, landline number and other names, the business card did not reveal other information. He said, "What investment project is it, do you know, Third Aunt?"
"That Lin Yufen also told me about this national-level project in the Western Bay Economic Zone. With an initial investment of 38,000, we can earn 38 million within a year..."
"Western Bay Economic Zone?" Wen Liang chuckled and said, "Is it so easy to make money?"
"That's right," Ding Lan frowned and said, "I feel scared just listening to it, but my elder sister was dragged by Lin Yufen to attend a few entrepreneurship lectures and investment preparation meetings, and she came back determined to join. I don't know much about these things, so I persuaded her to tell you, but she not only didn't say anything, but also asked me to keep it a secret and prepare to give you and your brother-in-law a surprise when the time comes."
Wen Liang thought to himself, I'm afraid I wasn't surprised, but I was a little frightened.
"I thought she might just be talking, and after a while she would lose interest in it, and I would persuade her to let it go. But I didn't expect that the eldest sister suddenly took all the working capital in the store and gave it to Lin Yufen yesterday, including the last price reduction promotion. In fact, it was because she didn't have enough money, and she was in a hurry to sell the clothes to raise money for Lin Yufen. Otherwise, those clothes would not have to be sold at such a low price. Now there is no money in the store's account..."
At this point, Ding Lan looked at Wen Liang and said sincerely: "Xiao Liang, I shouldn't have said anything about these things. This is my eldest sister's store. I can't say anything about how she wants to spend the money. But what if the other party is a liar? What if he cheated her? After all, it's tens of thousands of dollars!"
Wen Liang smiled calmly and said, "No need to assume. This Shenyu Company is definitely a scam."
"Ah? Really?" Ding Lan stood up suddenly, his face pale, and said: "Then, then the eldest sister, she..."
"It's okay, it's okay, Third Aunt, please sit down first and continue talking." Wen Liang pulled her to sit down and said, "How much money did my mother invest in total?"
"I calculated that it should be more than 60,000 yuan. She invested 38,000 yuan for one quota, and everyone needs to get three quotas for it to officially count."
"Ha, the clothing store is quite profitable." Wen Liang did not expect that his mother had so much money now. He estimated that the turnover from the clothing store alone was not enough, and she must have invested all the family savings.
"You," Ding Lan was immediately furious, but he also knew that Wen Liang was no longer the child he used to be, so he couldn't say anything angry. He complained, "It's urgent, and you're still so leisurely..."
"It doesn't matter. The money was just transferred yesterday. It can't go anywhere now. Besides, even if the monk runs away, the temple cannot be escaped. Isn't this company still there?" Wen Liang said calmly: "I don't care if these scammers cheat other people, but if they cheat my mother, I can only wish her the best!" (To be continued)
