In a building in a community called Lakeside Garden on the outskirts of Hangzhou, Boss Ma was looking at his blueprint. After obtaining enough money from Chengdu, Boss Ma launched several offensive operations. His team entered major cities such as Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and the capital, and the number of members of the website exceeded 80,000.
More importantly, the performance-style signing with Lianzhong made the name Alibaba popular in the Internet investment market, and the situation has changed.
Investors began to come to them to discuss investment plans. Ironically, when the company was on the verge of death, it was Chengdu that finally provided them with support. However, after they had passed the most difficult period, people came to them with money in an endless stream.
But Boss Ma was not carried away. The current situation is completely different from the initial one. At that time, Alibaba was extremely hungry. As long as it could survive, shares and other things could be negotiated and given, so Cheng Ran got the 35%.
Now that there is sufficient backing reserve and the company is on the right track, Boss Ma is not willing to accept more funds coming in to divide the shares.
The money from Chengdu can still support for a long time. After all, 30 million is a heavy amount. So when Boss Ma got the money, he didn't think about making sure his life would be worry-free. Instead, he felt a sense of responsibility. He always felt that the money was not his, but was kept for Cheng Ran. So he spent every penny wisely.
So even though he has money, up to now, he has not thought about moving out of this community and the 150-square-meter house. He can only wait until the company expands a little bit, the number of employees increases, and when there is no more room for him, he will look for an older building to find an office.
The rent will also be much cheaper in older, less trendy office buildings where many good companies gather.
He read the suggestions on his desk from several veterans about the company's "strong grassroots entrepreneurial atmosphere" and believed that it was urgent to establish a set of modern enterprise management rules and regulations. However, this was not that simple and there were many practical difficulties in its implementation.
If this is the case for me, a person who has started and failed many times and is supposed to be "experienced", then how did this young man who has built up Lianzhong and CQ and is still a student do all this
The more Boss Ma thought about it, the more he felt that Cheng Ran was unfathomable.
But when I thought of Cheng Ran's excellent grades in school, I felt a little better.
After all, there are many things in this world that exist beyond common sense.
For example, before this, he had climbed the Great Wall with Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, who at a young age stood under the spotlight of the world's Internet and enjoyed the infinite scenery.
For most people, choosing to accept it as a matter of course may be more acceptable psychologically.
And many times, perhaps it is because having met such people and seen such scenery, it is also a kind of encouragement and tempering for myself.
…
For some reason, Liu Ying and Yao Beibei did not tell their friends in the compound about what happened to Cheng Ran in the theater that day. At least Yu Xiao didn't know about it. Otherwise, Yu Xiao would have asked him about the situation clearly. And when Yu Xiao recently found Cheng Ran, he talked more about Qin Xizhen.
Yu Xiao has now established a good relationship with Lian Xiaohu, Li Weilu and others in the courtyard. Sometimes when Cheng Ran is not free, Yu Xiao can get along well with Lian Xiaohu and others. As for the people in the Fulong Courtyard in Rongcheng, they naturally treat him differently when they hear Yu Xiao say that he is a friend who grew up with Cheng Ran.
The treatment is completely different. He is always called Brother Yu. In the Fulong compound in Rongcheng, Yu Xiao is almost equal to Jiang Zhou in status. Everyone is very curious about Cheng Ran's previous growth experience. For example, someone asked if Cheng Ran's grades have always been so good. As a result, Yu Xiao said that it was not entirely true. He was about the same as him before. Many people shook their heads and sighed that it was incredible.
Sometimes when Yu Xiao talked about the interesting things he and Cheng Ran had done in the past, a bunch of people would gather together, eagerly waiting to listen, which made Yu Xiao extremely vain. He seemed to have never expected that Cheng Ran had established such prestige and influence here.
This made Yu Xiao even more proud, and he even talked about how he and Cheng Ran once stood on the bridge to see who could pee ten feet higher in the wind! Wen Lan, Yu Hong and other girls blushed and laughed and cursed, and someone said, "Damn, we've done this before!"
Lian Xiaohu's focus was rather odd, and he asked, "Who won?"
Yu Xiao seemed to recall some past events that he did not want to recall, and was speechless for a moment. This micro-expression was immediately captured, and everyone who had no interest at first came up to ask, thinking that there was some unknown big news here.
Li Weilu was more honest and simply asked, "Is he... short or long?"
Even the girls who had just rolled their eyes and said that boys were so boring were listening attentively.
"Not really... We didn't choose the right location... The bridge was downwind, and we lined up... Then suddenly a strong wind blew in our faces, and it rained heavily..."
A group of people laughed so hard that they fell down.
The girls all laughed so hard that their faces turned red like apples.
The fact that Cheng Ran knew Qin Xizhen was also spread to everyone through Yu Xiao.
"So according to her profile, she debuted as a high school music teacher, and that was in your No. 1 Middle School?" Li Weilu asked excitedly.
"Wow... Why didn't Cheng Ran say anything?" Lian Xiaohu was the most excited. Qin Xizhen was a big star from Sichuan Province. She was talked about in the streets and alleys. She was recognized as a talented music star in the entertainment industry. Not only was she beautiful, but her strength and talent were also brilliant. She was also a mainland female star who went abroad. However, she was widely praised not for her so-called "international style", but for the compatibility of her music that was applicable everywhere. Even people who didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry knew her more or less. They didn't expect that she used to be a high school teacher of someone they knew. This was really worthy of the saying "It's a small world!"
"I like many of her songs, which are different from all the music now. Every time she releases a new album trailer, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it. The latest "Night City" is so good that I can't help it. It is said that she composed the music and lyrics herself, and the lyrics are also very artistic and interesting. 'If the heart no longer gives birth to the morning sun, then the darkness is the appearance of this city, the sky and the earth are crisp, the souls are wandering, the wind is sobbing, and the ghosts and monsters are everywhere. The night penetrates the city, just like snow hitting flowers, ice cutting water, and people go through the wounds of time. Although the body is as hard as a city, weathering still erodes the wall. Some people hold the lights to stick to the wandering of light, some people extinguish the temperature to collude with meanness, lies can always be accomplices with the night, some people are singing loudly, trying to pierce the desolation of the night, some people are chanting scriptures, just to fight against the vastness of the end of the law, and some people are still in love, taking the bright moon as the morning sun..."
After hearing Wen Lan humming, someone exclaimed, "Wow... it sounds good!"
"That's why I like Qin Xizhen. Her songs are different from those of some other singers. There are not many love songs, but more of them reflect her state of mind and thoughts. There are sarcasms about human nature, longings for beauty, and also the joys and sorrows of the world. She is really unique. I can guarantee that in the next ten or even twenty years, Qin Xizhen and her songs will still be unique and unrepeatable in this world."
"What's more, her English album was recommended by the Riggs and won the Golden Man trophy for the highest sales in Asia at the World Music Awards held in Morocco!"
"Who are Mr. and Mrs. Riggs?"
Lian Xiaohu is the best at this. "The world-famous vocal coaches have students all over the world and are known as the teachers of stars. Just to name a few, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Ricky Martin who sang "The Cup of Life" last year, etc., have all received guidance and coaching from the Riggs to varying degrees..."
Cheng Ran suddenly realized that Qin Xizhen said that she met a woman in a recording studio in London, and then went to the United States with her. They were a very good couple. She learned skills from them, received guidance, and lived together... So... It was like this...
"No wonder. Qin Xizhen's father, Qin Keguang, is a master of traditional music in our country and is also famous abroad. Therefore, some people say that Qin Xizhen is a typical example of the integration of Chinese and Western music. It is rare to find a singer and musician with such broad knowledge in many fields."
"Square Enix also announced that they had invited Qin Xizhen to sing the theme song for Final Fantasy 10. This news has set off a wave of enthusiasm in Japan, and many game geeks said they can't wait to listen to the pure voice of this little Chinese diva... It can be predicted that there will be a long queue when the game is released..."
Young men and women expressed their admiration for their favorite singers and recounted these stories with great relish, almost drooling.
Of course, because the circle in Chengdu is large, there is more information, so when Lian Xiaohu and others talked about Qin Xizhen's deeds in detail, even Yu Xiaoyou didn't know anything about him. He was stunned and confused. How could he imagine that the woman who used to frequent the music classroom of No. 1 Middle School and run around for the student band at the art festival had achieved such an amazing career.
Listening to her story now is completely opposite and distant from the impression I had before.
Like dust and clouds.
He has reached such a level. No matter in terms of career or status, Qin Xizhen is no longer the teacher Qin they once knew. Even if he were in front of them now, I am afraid no one would really call him "Teacher Qin".
Because naturally there are boundaries and barriers between people that separate them. Others are above the dust, while they are just drops of water in the ocean.
But isn't this the trajectory of life? In this life, how many people have the opportunity to stand on such a stage? How many people can have such a chance to be known by countless people and leave some reputation in the torrent of time
They grow up, become adults, go to college, find jobs, enter the workplace, or live an ordinary life, neither good nor bad, get married and have children, and then worry about their children's jobs, marriages, and having children. At the very least, they leave some reputation and connections in their workplaces. Isn't that what most people do? But you can't complain about being ordinary. Isn't it that people are so down-to-earth and steady, working silently on their own paths, and jointly maintaining the operation of the entire world society
Not only them, but even Cheng Ran, who is envied by everyone right now, is not surprising compared to others.
They are all the so-called “numerous people”.
Yu Xiao suddenly asked Cheng Ran, "Are you still in touch with Teacher Qin?"
Cheng Ran just didn't pay attention to Qin Xizhen's circle and industry information. He was a little confused about what everyone was saying, so he didn't respond to Yu Xiao immediately.
After realizing what was happening, Cheng Ran nodded, "I have her phone number."
Everyone was stunned.
Someone winked at Yu Xiao.
Although Yu Hong is a lively girl, she is actually very considerate. At this time, she smiled and said, "Since we have a previous relationship, it would be nice to send text messages to greet each other during the holidays! After all, big stars are so busy and have so many things to do every day. I heard that Qin Xizhen didn't attend the MWV award ceremony some time ago. The game company announced her winning the award in order to promote the theme song. Didn't the entertainment channel report some time ago that a city in the mainland invited her to sing in order to promote its image? Among the people invited, she was the most popular. The main leaders of the city came to meet and take photos with her. Half of the city's police were on the scene to maintain order..."
"Next time she returns to her hometown to hold a concert, we can go and see it together..."
"That's for sure!"
A group of people were talking at once, full of hope.
Cheng Ran smiled.
The holidays continued to go on, and the summer vacation gave Cheng Ran a lot of time to do some of his daily work.
For example, I went to CQ to discuss some work details with Li Mingshi, and talked about development and career paths. Sometimes, I would chat with Li Mingshi and Lin Xiaosong for an entire afternoon. We all had different opinions, and when we talked, some ideas sparked, and the more we talked, the happier we became. Sometimes, when you are doing a business, you have a group of like-minded people, and that’s how it feels. You work together, have a clear mind, know what to do, and what the future or ideal is, and you have a sense of purpose and a spirit.
These are often the core that supports the birth of many creations and careers in history.
Jiang Hongshao has been in contact with him. Because her grandfather is ill, she is accompanying him in the courtyard. Her grandfather loves her the most, and it is summer vacation, so it seems that she will spend this vacation with him. But they also share some interesting things, movies, and the novels and literature they have seen recently.
Sometimes Cheng Ran would go to Tianxingdaoguan to read a book, where he would meet Xie Feibai or meet him with his friends, but most of the time Cheng Ran didn't like to be disturbed. He preferred to sit in the corner of the Tianxingdaoguan coffee shop, read a book, do some exercises, look at the reports from CQ and Lianzhong, and read the news online with a stack of newspapers to learn about the outside world.
With the arrival of Shanhai’s friends, our daily life has become much richer, including the situation we talked about last time, that of Qin Xizhen.
The third floor of Tianxing Dojo has actually been completed. It is not as complicated as the board game bar on the first floor and the cyberspace on the second floor. Instead, it is a purer coffee place with industrial decoration. The ** ventilation ducts and water pipes are painted, and the walls are even made of concrete directly painted with engineering paint. There are tables everywhere, some big tables, blackboards and message boards everywhere, and bookshelves with various books. Because the highest bookshelf is as high as two floors, wooden stairs are needed to facilitate going up to get books. This will become a leisure place that is more focused on communication, learning and work, and is scheduled to open to the public in July.
At the end of June, Cheng Ran spent the whole morning looking at the things in his hands, then went out and found a restaurant outside the Tianxing Gym to eat something. When he was about to go back to the gym, he went to the nearby store to buy a box of chewing gum, stood in front of the shade of the tree at the door, took out a piece of chewing gum and ate it.
On the billboard of the bus station in front of us, there is a poster of the game "Final Fantasy 10". Today, Square Enix is most famous in China for the Final Fantasy series. In the past two years, Japan's economy has been in a great recession, and Square Enix survived with "Final Fantasy 8". After the big sale, Square struck while the iron was hot, not only making a movie, but also targeting the fast-growing Chinese market for the new game. It is not surprising to see a new game trailer poster.
The new work focuses on the love story of the hero and heroine Tidus and Yuna. The most prominent part of the poster is that in the background of the game world, the hero and heroine look at each other with the dawn of the world in the background. In the center of the two exquisite game characters, there is a real-life image of Qin Xizhen holding her hands together, closing her eyes and singing softly. The following is some publicity about the theme song sung by her.
Cheng Ran just looked at Qin Xizhen on the poster, with a warm breeze blowing across his cheeks, bringing back some memories of his past life. He had played the game Final Fantasy X before, and the scene of fighting day and night to see the final ending of the story didn't seem so distant when he thought about it.
Maybe it’s because of some real sentimental reasons.
I remember working day and night to clear the game, but it turns out the hero is actually a dream summoned by the heroine as a summoner. In the end, the heroine keeps searching for the hero all over the world, which makes me want to smash the console.
However, at the moment, although there is no way to change this shitty ending, the game theme song has actually become sung by Qin Xizhen, which really makes me feel like I have turned the gears and changed the world.
Looking at the poster, Cheng Ran felt very excited. If it wasn't for Qin Xizhen on it, he would have probably just given a middle finger.
Then suddenly he felt his shoulder being patted. He turned around and saw a woman in a baseball cap, who should never be here, staring at him with a cunning look in her eyes.
Then, with the same angular face as the one on the poster, her mouth curved and she spoke softly, yet with a otherworldly air.
"Do I look good?"
Cheng Ran’s first thought was to break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, that finger held back in the end.
otherwise…
