What Xu Tingsheng really wanted to give Zhou Yuandai the awareness was not that he was betting against something, but that he was doing a comprehensive asset transfer.
And what Zhou Yuandai is really sensitive about is not the gain or loss of one city or one place, just like Xu Tingsheng induced her to make a wrong choice between Apple and Symbian, it was just an experiment in the end, even if Zhou Yuandai bought the entire Symbian, She won't be buried there after a fiasco.
crisis.
Only this word can make Zhou Yuandai fully participate, her appetite is determined, she will not just simply escape from a crisis, she will also benefit from the crisis to the maximum extent.
At the end of 2006, Zhou Yuandai still maintained a calmness beyond Xu Ting's expectations, and an attitude of watching with cold eyes. At several points where Xu Tingsheng thought she would find him, Zhou Yuandai remained silent.
She is the one who has the most chips on the table but hasn't thrown them yet.
As for Xu Tingsheng himself, in the eyes of those who knew about it, he had already reached the point where he had no choice but to prepare to annex the state mine.
Just at this time, the prosperity of the coal mining industry makes mining coal to some extent almost the same as directly mining money. And Huang Yaming and the others' grief over this was precisely because Xu Tingsheng wanted Zhou Yuandai to see the strong man cut off his wrist.
This is actually a test of their friendship. And trust.
On January 9, 2007, Apple held a launch event for the first-generation iPhone.
An era will be changed.
After watching the press conference, Xu Tingsheng was very calm. He is not a delusional person. He couldn't be like the protagonists in those novels, who created Apple first based on memory and description. At least he, a hard-working liberal arts student, knew that the first thing this beautiful thing needs is not The shape, but the cross-age system and chip-he can't describe this stuff.
Of course, this does not prevent him from having the opportunity to get more in the future smartphone era.
Zhou Yuandai, who also watched the press conference, realized that Xu Tingsheng probably played a trick on her before, like an ant digging a hole to bury an elephant.
But in fact, the result of that incident was that Zhou Yuandai used all his strength to acquire not only Symbian shares, but also a lot of Apple shares... The loss was actually far less than the future gains.
Therefore, for her, in fact, she only needs to know where the jumping point or node of history is, not to miss the opportunity, and not to be left behind. Her strength is strong enough to ensure that she can crush all of Xu Tingsheng's cleverness.
What's the meaning
For example, she and Xu Tingsheng are sitting at the same gambling table, and Xu Tingsheng is the one who knows the outcome of the game. He bet 100 million in the banker, Zhou Yuandai followed 100 million in the banker, Xu Tingsheng continued to bet, Zhou Yuandai continued to bet with...
Then until the fourth card was drawn, Zhou Yuandai still had a mountain of chips in front of him, waiting for Xu Tingsheng to reveal his true intentions.
What if Xu Tingsheng wanted to die together? Just deliberately put all the chips on the losing side? Sorry, he doesn't have enough chips, even if he loses himself, Zhou Yuandai still has a mountain of chips.
Therefore, in the situation where they were initially exposed to each other, what Zhou Yuandai really needed to be on guard against was actually only one thing, she couldn't let Xu Tingsheng grow freely, and she couldn't wait until the day when Xu Tingsheng had as many bargaining chips as her, or even more than her. That's all.
And to ensure this, she couldn't leave the gambling table where Xu Tingsheng was.
"Stupid."
This was the message that Xu Tingsheng received from Zhou Yuandai on this day. This probably also means that Zhou Yuandai has officially entered the arena. In fact, it was just Xu Tingsheng's gesture of betting on everything this time, which had already been decided, and she could not follow suit.
…
On the same day, Xu Tingsheng received more messages to express surprise or praise.
Because it was also on this day that Apple Cen Xiyu officially released her second solo album. Because they are all apples, some people jokingly call this day Apple Day.
The fans paid attention with the intention of finally listening to new songs, but in the end they got old gossip.
In this album, Xu Tingsheng made an undisguised appearance and sang "Outside the Peony Pavilion" with Apple. He didn't use the name of the reincarnation band, just his personal identity...
What identity? The identity of Apple's high school classmates and friends.
The past gossip of the two people was found out and discussed again, but whether it is the gossip media or the netizens who participated in the gossip, the enthusiasm is obviously not as good as before.
But this time, the two of them sang together so calmly and openly that people didn't know how to gossip.
Xiang Ning didn't mind either, she had known about this for a long time.
So, the final result of this matter was that the album sold well, and while Apple's status rose again, Xu Tingsheng followed suit. Compared with being a businessman, an entrepreneurial legend... the fact that an entrepreneurial legend sang a song, and he sang it well, is obviously more popular and enthusiastic.
People saw a different Xu Tingsheng.
Just like that, the number of Xu Tingsheng's Weibo followers skyrocketed, and he finally stepped into the ranks of the super big V.
Someone left a message asking if he would release a solo album, and Xu Tingsheng replied: The game produced by Xingchen is really fun. Then I received dozens of pages of blank stares and contempt, and the matter was determined—as expected, it was for promotion, a disguised advertisement, and it was really hard to guard against.
In this way, not many people think that there is any intimacy beyond friendship between him and Apple. Or even down a notch, it's just a friendship mixed with too many commercial interests.
Against this background, a few days later, Apple held a fan signing and meeting in Yanzhou. The fans are extremely excited, because Yanzhou itself is not a big enough city, and Apple's attention makes them feel very happy.
In fact, Apple is actually just passing by.
Her more important purpose was to see her goddaughter Niannian, and to participate in the celebration of Fu Cheng's family moving to a new home. I just thought that since I have nothing to do during the day, I might as well arrange an autograph session.
It is a rare time that many people reunite.
Apple hugged Niannian all night, and when everyone stopped by to visit the Xiang family's house in Ningyuan, she also went with Niannian in her arms, and by the way, she had a face-to-face meeting with Xiang's parents.
Xiang's father and Xiang's mother don't live here, but they are just preparing to move in, so they come to have a look.
They knew about Apple, not only because she was very popular and had attended the Spring Festival Gala, but also because they had also heard about the scandals between this singer and her future son-in-law Xu Tingsheng.
It cannot be said that they have any vigilance or dissatisfaction with Apple, but the feeling of meeting each other is not so right after all.
After Apple left with Niannian in her arms, Xiang's mother looked at Xu Tingsheng who was standing by. That night Xiang Ning didn't come because she had to go to study late. Damn screamed, as a woman, Xiang's mother is more or less sensitive.
"Why does it sound uncomfortable to me?" Xiang's mother muttered.
"Forget it, this matter probably wasn't Tingsheng's original intention. If we talk too much, it won't be good for the child." Dad Xiang whispered beside him, signaling that Xu Tingsheng should not hear him.
"I'm afraid that Xiao Ning will suffer. She's still so young and doesn't have a clue. If something really happens, why not be kept in the dark?"
"No, I trust Tingsheng."
Xiang's father managed to comfort Xiang's mother, and after a while, Apple rushed in with the mobile phone in tears.
"Grandma, grandma wants to talk to you." She went straight to Xu Tingsheng, handed her the phone and said.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tingsheng asked while taking the phone.
"Grandma doesn't know why, but all of a sudden... my mother said, grandma seems to be dying." Apple and grandma had a deep relationship, and for a while, his emotions broke down, and he buried his head on Xu Tingsheng's shoulder and kept crying.
"I don't know why she suddenly wants to talk to you, can you... can you?"
Xu Tingsheng nodded, how could he refuse at this time? Although he actually doesn't know why Grandma Apple thinks of himself at this time.
When he was a freshman, he went to see his grandmother with Apple. At that time, his grandmother was blind and her mind was not very clear. She almost only said one sentence to him all day long, but she said it many times.
Sure enough, the same sentence came from the handset of the mobile phone: "Good boy, be nice to Xiaoni, and be nice to Xiaoni."
It turned out that the person grandma worried about was actually Apple. That's why she thought of Xu Tingsheng, the person Apple brought to her, cooked her meals, and helped her from left to right.
"Good boy, be good to Xiaoni, be good to Xiaoni." Grandma's consciousness may have been very confused, but she just repeated it over and over again.
Under such circumstances, Xu Tingsheng had no choice but to agree to the old man's dying request.
"Okay, okay... Grandma, don't worry, I will treat Xiaoni well." He replied.
