"Little Brother Ma" Jiang Erwa is a learning player. Most people flock to successful people and stare at why they can succeed. When they are sold all kinds of success stories, some people are different. They may have been tempered by life, or they are born cautious. Their nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm always makes them see the bad and failed aspects of a thing first, and then summarize their experience. Of course, some of these people will only stare at failure and be timid from then on, while others see the hope of breaking through the cracks and thus find a way out.
Jiang Zhou is actually a man of both wisdom and courage, but he has been constrained by the surrounding environment for a long time and is unable to make a leap into the sea.
After setting up Tianxingdaoguan with Cheng Ran, he saw the driving force behind everything behind the scenes. In particular, Cheng Qi, who delivered the board games, was directly introduced as the boss of Lianzhong Studio and Cheng Ran's cousin. It was he and Cheng Ran who pushed forward the board game trend. Only then did he understand why Cheng Ran wanted to open a board game cafe. It turned out that they were in the same vein.
When the board game theme museum was reported by various media, Jiang Zhou finally understood what Cheng Ran wanted to do.
He wants to ride the wind and waves.
Jiang Zhou understood Cheng Ran's idea exactly, but that was just the reason why Tianxing Dojo was not afraid of anyone challenging it and trying to steal its business.
According to the principles of urban economics, the involvement of more and more free competition will actually stimulate the inherent demand of a market, especially for board games, which are a form of entertainment that requires an atmosphere and a circle. As the market grows and the ecosystem gets better, the popularity and sales of Three Kingdoms Kill will also increase in direct proportion.
Of course, piracy will also be rampant, but at least the more formal places and merchants don’t really care about genuine board games that use better paper and are more durable. It is precisely because of this that Cheng Ran can also improve the quality of board games, produce some fine products, and sell them to these merchants.
Cheng Ran also suggested that Jiang Zhou read some related books. Jiang Zhou then took out a number of large books, such as "Principles of Economics", "The Wealth of Nations", "The Road to Serfdom"... Cheng Ran nodded and said that in fact the principles are all in the books, but it is better to have no books than to read them mechanically. The most important thing is to apply what you have learned flexibly. If you do everything according to dogma, you will often be a thousand miles away from the reality.
Of course, all of these require experience, so the experience in reality is not the resource bar that changes qualitatively from quantitative changes in killing monsters and upgrading in the game, but the real thing that you learn from every failure and the more knowledge you have, the less you will suffer.
After saying this, Cheng Ran still felt that he had said something a bit too profound, so he put on a cute, harmless smile and said, "So, Brother Jiang... This is roughly what I heard from my dad."
Jiang Zhou felt an inexplicable chill and said, "You'd better call me Jiang Erwa... I get goose bumps when you call me big brother... Anyway, it's good to learn something from you. And I found that the way you spoke just now didn't sound like a high school student at all, but just like a professor of economics in our college. I remembered that he also said something similar, but the difference between you and him is that you not only talk, but you also put it into practice. And the practice is very successful. Even if you say something exaggerated, it's okay. Even if you say you never like money, everyone will believe it."
Cheng Ran smacked his lips, feeling that these words sounded so familiar.
Jiang Zhou turned the door away and said that Tianxing Daoguan would not open a second branch. Cheng Ran was serious. He wanted to ensure that this place was unique. Cheng Ran pointed to the top of his head and said to Jiang Zhou, "I believe that one day, when people walk in here, it will be like entering a temple."
Jiang Zhou glanced at him and said, "You've been playing too many games!"
After a pause, Jiang Zhou hesitated, but finally said, "Why me? Cheng Ran, why did you choose me?"
Cheng Ran looked up and glanced at him. Jiang Zhou pursed his lips and sat up straight. Just as Cheng Ran was about to start his eloquent speech, Cheng Ran said, "Because when I first saw you, I thought of the 'Xiao Ma Ge' played by Chow Yun-fat in that movie, and I felt that you were very similar to him. I thought that if there was such a place, and you were dressed in a suit and tie, walking deep in this temple, and looking back and smiling, wouldn't it be very movie-like?"
Jiang Zhou was dumbfounded, wondering how could such an important matter be treated so lightly, and he felt a little amused and helpless, "That's it?"
"What else do you think you'd like?"
“At least you saw that I’m hardworking, smart, and willing to study, and that I have the potential to grow together with a partner. And isn’t it because Huatong was acquired by Fulong and it all depends on your father’s support, so I’m easy to control...?” It seems that Jiang Zhou has already imagined a domineering CEO drama in his mind.
Cheng Ran stared at him for a long while, and finally blurted out Lao Jiang's catchphrase, "You think too much."
Jiang Zhou was also a little confused. He didn't expect Cheng Ran to choose him so casually, without any investigation or even any human temptation. Jiang Zhou thought with a bit of evil taste, what if he was a person of bad character and ate the money behind his back? He, the boss who didn't care about anything, would probably be kept in the dark...
Are there not many people like this in this world? Not to mention society, even in their college, some students rented shops to open small clothing stores, barber shops, etc. Most of the partners did not end well... How could Cheng Ran be able to bring such a big thing down
Could it be that Young Master Fulong really does whatever he wants
But when he heard Cheng Ran tell him those ideas without hiding anything, he felt touched and felt that... he couldn't let him down.
…
After Qin Qian's birthday, Cheng Ran, who had made a name for himself at the sports meet, soon became a hot topic among many people in his grade at No. 10 Middle School. Sometimes Cheng Ran would also meet the baby-faced beauty Li Yunhan at school. Most of the time, they would just greet each other. The other party would often be surrounded by a group of girls, and she would smile at Cheng Ran.
But this time, Li Yunhan ran into him at the corner of the garden downstairs from the cafeteria. Cheng Ran was waiting for Zhang Ping to go in to buy something, and Li Yunhan just happened to come out alone. When he saw him, he walked over and opened a bag of candy beans with an "M" on the outer packaging. He took two in his hand and handed one to Cheng Ran, "Here."
Cheng Ran took it, and Li Yunhan put the other one in his mouth and said jokingly, "Transfer student, you are really not simple... You just came to No. 10 Middle School, and you haven't even warmed up the ground yet, but you've already stole the limelight!"
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment. Li Yunhan turned over his palm, put the back of his hand against his mouth, moved closer and said, "I heard from some people that you transferred here, but you seem to be very high-profile. Some people can't stand you. Many people envy your relationship with Jiang Hongshao... When you were not here last year, there was a rumor that someone was walking around the school with a camera every day, and it turned out that they were actually taking pictures of her... Some of them were even selling her photos at a price of ten yuan per photo. It is said that the buyers were several nerds who are good at both sports and studies... Last time she came back from the science and technology competition, she said in front of the whole school that you provided help. In addition, you got second place in this sports meet. You have made a lot of headlines!"
"Your grades are really good?" Li Yunhan said with anticipation, "You are not a pervert of the same level as Jiang Hongshao, are you in the top ten in the grade?"
Cheng Ran smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated."
Li Yunhan seemed to have caught some micro-expression, "Okay, normally I would just take it lightly when I say something like that! I hate it the most when you are so strong but act so average. How can ordinary students like us survive!"
Maybe it was because of Cheng Ran's series of performances, she was no longer as arrogant in front of him as at the beginning. In fact, it was the same for herself. At first, she saw Cheng Ran through Gao Shaoning's relationship and thought he was that kind of wretched man. It turned out that he was just acquainted with Jiang Hongshao. Moreover, a series of performances overturned her initial perception. Most importantly, when Jiang Hongshao gave a speech at No. 10 Middle School, she mentioned that Cheng Ran had helped her in the competition. This set the tone, and Li Yunhan classified Cheng Ran as a top student of the same grade as Jiang Hongshao. There were not many such people in No. 10 Middle School, so of course she was not so confident in front of him.
Academic elites have such a halo. For example, there is a tall and thin boy wearing glasses in their class. He looks very ordinary and is recognized by many people as "average". Compared with her several suitors, he cannot compare in appearance and height. But sometimes Li Yunhan's eyes are always on him, as if the gentle eyes under the pair of round glasses are full of intelligence and cleverness, exuding a kind of approachable and likable spirit.
I have to admit that for boys, looks are not as important as brains for her.
Then the Cheng Ran in front of him is most likely in the same grade as Brother Jiang. There are only a few people like him in the whole grade.
Therefore, Li Yunhan's previous preconceived impression of Cheng Ran was overturned.
At this time, she took out another candy bean from the bag and handed it to him. In fact, she saw Cheng Ran and others coming out, so she waved to him and said, "The exam is about to start. How strong are you? I am a little bit looking forward to it. Come on..."
Cheng Ran was a little dazed. Ah, it was time for another exam. Time had passed so quickly without him noticing.
