After Cheng Ran and his family left, Xie Houming and Xie Qian sat back in the living room. Xie Houming asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
Xie Qian thought for a moment and said, "I thought about it before coming here. No matter how great a 17-year-old is, you would probably exaggerate because of personal feelings... But now it seems that he is indeed extraordinary. I believe he knows very well the value of the two shops in the core area of Rongcheng. With his intelligence and maturity, your relationship, and being able to successfully put aside his parents, as a gift for me to recognize him as my nephew, he can accept it without any burden..."
"But he refused immediately." Xie Qian thought for a while, "It is also possible that he was used as a role model by you guys. I asked him to go back and think about it. Maybe after peeling off this layer of face, he will have to accept it."
Xie Houming smiled, "Believe it or not, Cheng Ran will refuse in the end."
Xie Qian wanted to say something, but finally took it back, nodded, and commented with some disappointment, "He is indeed a smart guy!"
Xie Houming smiled and said, "Don't count on winning people's hearts. Cheng Ran is a smart kid. Although he is young, he is not inferior to you. You should think about your own affairs. How about talking to him? Did you have any sudden enlightenment?"
"Is this kid really just a high school student? He has a broad vision and a clear mind. When he talked to me about the future, it was as if he was seeing it with his own eyes. If the technological progress and future changes in market size that he predicted can really reach that point, it would be really..." After thinking about it, Xie Qian let out a long breath that had been stuck in his chest since just now, "It's really fascinating! His imagination is too rich!"
Xie Houming said, "This kid is really good at fooling people, right?"
"Very good, very good!" Xie Qian nodded. He had talked with Cheng Ran before, originally with the idea of "opening his eyes", but after the two of them exchanged ideas, he quickly changed from a narrator to a person who could only agree and ask questions. He just listened to Cheng Ran's wonderful ideas one after another. Although it was a bit aggrieved, it was actually a wonderful feeling. When he reacted, he was only a 17-year-old high school student. He, who was supposed to be an experienced old man, was actually a listener in front of him, or a student.
At this time, Xie Houming showed a mysterious smile again, "Wait for me." He went to the study, and soon took out a folded and bound material book and placed it in front of Xie Qian.
Xie Qian finally figured it out. Today at Xie Houming's house he was just experiencing a wonderful journey. No matter what mysterious things might happen, he was mentally prepared.
"The Basic Law of Fulong, what is this? Ah... Is this the name of Lao Cheng's company charter?"
"Let's see first."
Xie Qian flipped through the book casually at first, but then he fixed his gaze on it, reading it line by line. He hadn't finished reading it, about one-third of the way through, when he looked up again, his face full of surprise.
Xie Houming smiled mysteriously, "After the Fulong Company's charter was submitted, it triggered heated discussions within our Huagu board of directors, and we unanimously voted to support Fulong Company. We are still studying it internally as a verification to fill in the gaps in the management and rules and regulations of many of our subordinate companies. This is a treasure, and it will not be passed on to outsiders. I privately asked Old Cheng to tell me which expert helped him make this thing... It turned out to be Cheng Ran. He said he learned it online, but I asked people to check it out, and there is currently no such thing on the Internet."
"You mean..." Xie Qian murmured.
Xie Houming said, "It is very likely that Cheng Ran arranged it himself. How is it? Does it inspire you?"
Xie Qian held the thick document and nodded, "I have a plan. I will talk to Sitong about the direction of the new company when I get back. I think what Cheng Ran mentioned today... can be done."
"And time waits for no one, we have to get ahead!"
…
Cheng Ran rejected Xie Qian's two shops at the time, and was praised by Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan for knowing his limits. Later, Xie Qian even asked his subordinates to call to confirm. It was a soft female voice, "Our President Xie has told you, Mr. Cheng Ran, when do you think the contract will be sent to you for signature?" Of course, Cheng Ran formally declined.
In fact, there is one thing my parents said very well, and that is moderation.
He saved Xie Houming, and he felt that his family and Xie Houming's family could be friends, but the relationship couldn't be about simply accepting other people's gifts out of gratitude.
Xie Qian might really want to express his gratitude and thoughts, but if he really accepted the two shops, then maybe in Xie Qian's eyes, your weight is just like this? Maybe I didn't deliberately have this idea, but I felt a sense of superiority in my heart when facing Cheng Ran.
But then again, I got an uncle for nothing. People like Xie Qian are hardworking and capable. Just looking at his deeds in the 1980s and 1990s, he is also a man who is unwilling to sit idle. Cheng Ran himself did not want to get too deeply involved in the careers that were at the forefront of the storm. Cheng Ran did not have any so-called far-reaching considerations and plans. He just wanted to express his attitude to the world, that is, the tide has come, and he has tried hard.
It's just that this kind of effort and display of presence is achieved through the wedge of Xie Qian.
So that night Cheng Ran, for the first time, told Xie Qian a lot of cutting-edge and enlightening things. For ordinary people, these things would probably just be marveled at.
But Cheng Ran knew that Xie Qian was different. For Xie Qian, it was probably an inspiration and an eye-opener. In this era where everyone had to cross the river by feeling the stones, Xie Qian had already established a framework in his mind.
Cheng Ran had to admit that many things were still out of his control. What he had thought before was not to be too closely connected with Xie Houming in business. But after the frequent exchanges between the two families, this process deepened unconsciously. In the end, he seemed to be more and more closely involved with the Xie family.
Xie Qian left Shanhai after staying there for only a few days. Before leaving, he invited the two families to have a meal together. During this meal, Xie Qian formally told Cheng Ran that according to his suggestion, he was going to go back and create a website.
This made Cheng Ran feel very emotional. He had money, technology, manpower, the right time, the right place and the right people.
But they are not the only ones. 1998 is known as the first year of the Internet, and countless bigwigs and their teams are also standing at the cusp of this era, ready to enter the battle.
Cheng Ran couldn't hear any news about these people. At least for now, he didn't know whether they still existed or were still unknown. However, most people only saw the glorious moment when they finally emerged. The difficult battlefield behind them and the long darkness before the dawn when they were just a hair's breadth away from death were unknown to people.
Taking advantage of the favorable national policy, countless people rode the wave, as if opening the Age of Exploration, and moved towards wealth and fame.
But in this ocean, there are countless whirlpools and reefs, countless intrigues and schemes, countless people falling behind, being crushed by rocks, or being killed by competition. Only a handful of people can finally reach the other side and win the treasure of the Pirate King... Oh, win fame and wealth, and have a seat at the summit forum.
After the dinner, when the Passat Lingyu that was to pick up Xie Qian approached, Cheng Ran waved to him, "Uncle, everything goes well."
