Chapter 1142: The Past is Like a Dream (Final Chapter)
In the blink of an eye, several years passed.
A lot has happened in these few years.
Song Yangming officially took over Sit and served as the general manager after Sun Yaoliang resigned as the general manager. After two years of drastic reform of the company, Sit, while continuing to maintain the original production quality and R&D, made adjustments in marketing and sales and began to walk on two legs.
These two legs are the synchronization of the original sales company and the current online marketing methods. This adjustment has a great impact on Si Te’s internal operations. Moreover, with the sharp increase in the amount of online sales, the traditional sales network has been greatly affected. At the same time, it also allows Song Yangming to completely control Si Te’s marketing channels through this aspect.
In addition to Si Te and Nandu, Song Yangming also began to serve as the director of Shenghua. This was also the preparation work done by Song Yuanchao for Song Yangming to take over Shenghua later.
Compared with his brother Song Yangming's steady and cautious approach, Song Zijun's development in the Internet industry was much faster.
After all, Internet companies have always been a god-making industry. Compared with traditional industries, Internet companies pay more attention to data and promotion during their development. As long as they find the right target, have sufficient capital investment, and add technical support, they can take off much faster than industries.
This is how Song Zijun's company was built. With the financial support of Hu Yaoqing, Song Zijun's company acquired 56.com, and the following year it acquired two other websites. Through these three acquisitions, Song Zijun's company has become the leader of domestic video websites.
In addition to traditional videos, with the emergence of smartphones and the development of technology, Song Zijun's company has also begun to enter new projects of self-media and live broadcast studios. When this project was first established, many people within the company opposed it. Most people felt that Song Zijun's idea was a bit ahead of its time, and some even felt that it was an unrealistic idea.
But Song Zijun withstood the pressure and insisted on launching this project. She even said in an internal meeting that if anyone wanted to leave the company, she would not object, and she would fully accept anyone who wanted to withdraw or transfer shares. However, the project must be carried out. This must be done.
Because of Song Zijun's tenacity and Qin Wenchang's support, the project was eventually pushed forward. After a year of hard work, when the project was completed and started to run, everyone was surprised to find that the project not only received excellent feedback, but also because of the launch of the project, the website traffic and registered users increased rapidly at a geometric rate, which stunned everyone.
Strike while the iron is hot, Song Zijun not only promoted the product domestically, but also re-registered a company overseas and carried out the same promotion in developed countries.
For a time, Song Zijun's company was in the limelight and became a leader in the entire industry. It also attracted many internationally renowned investors and investment companies, which intended to acquire shares in the company in the name of investment and even offered extremely favorable conditions.
After communicating with Song Yuanchao and Zhang Hao and listening to their suggestions, Song Zijun did not reject the capital injection. If she wanted to expand her business, it was impossible to eat alone, especially since her company had to enter and conduct business in various countries. Without the support of local strong capital, it would be impossible to do so.
After a series of business negotiations, Song Zijun's company accepted several capital injections and diluted the equity of the entrepreneurial team. However, one thing is that the company's operations are still firmly in the hands of Song Zijun, and this point is absolutely uncompromising.
While the company was developing rapidly, Hu Yaoqing did not expect such a result. He invested in Song Zijun's company because he was optimistic about the future of Song Zijun's company. On the other hand, it was also important to use this method to win over and show goodwill to Song Yuanchao.
But unexpectedly, in just two or three years, Song Zijun's company had grown to such a scale. The money Hu Yaoqing had invested at the beginning has now had a return of a hundred times or even more. Such a generous return made Hu Yaoqing extremely astonished, but at the same time, he was so happy that he would even wake up with a smile in his dreams.
Song Zijun and Qin Wenchang still couldn't get together, although both parents hoped to get married again, and the two had a good relationship since childhood. However, Song Zijun and Qin Wenchang never had this feeling for each other. Although they were good friends, they didn't have any chemistry at all, which was a pity.
Qin Wenchang is already engaged. His fiancée is from the Li family in Hong Kong. Although the Li family has lost its glory of more than half a century ago and its influence in Hong Kong is not as great as before, and Qin Wenchang's fiancée is just an ordinary member of the Li family and not from its main branch, this engagement party still attracted attention.
From the perspective of outsiders, the marriage between the newly-minted Qin family and the established Li family is intriguing. However, for the parties involved, these are nothing. Qin Zhengguo and his wife are very satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law. After all, she comes from a big family. Whether in appearance or character, it is no exaggeration to say that she is the best among thousands.
Song Zijun is still single. Lin Yan has nagged her about marriage several times, but Song Zijun doesn't care at all. She has high standards and doesn't like those rich boys at all. She always refuses when Lin Yan introduces her to someone, saying that she is very busy and has no energy to bother with these things. As for what she is thinking, Lin Yan can't figure it out.
On the contrary, Song Yuanchao was not in a hurry. He knew his daughter very well. Although she was cheerful and heartless since she was a child, she always had a righteous mind. She knew some things very well in her heart even if she didn't say them. For example, this was a lifelong event, and Song Zijun had her own plans, so it would be better to give her more time.
Raymond Lam got married half a year ago, and his wife is a woman from an ordinary family. According to Raymond Lam's conditions, he could have found a woman of equal status to fall in love with, or a woman with outstanding appearance, but Raymond Lam 's wife not only came from an ordinary family, but also had an ordinary appearance.
The young couple is very happy after marriage. Now Lin Feng's wife is pregnant. It won't be long before Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin will be able to become grandparents. Whenever they talk about this, they are so happy that they can't stop smiling.
Li Daqi's son Li Heng and Luo Yang and Li Xiaoyun's daughter Luo Qiang, as well as Gu Jie's son Gu Hao, Sun Yaoliang's son Sun Wei, Lin Jianhang's son Lin Xiaojun, etc. These children have grown up one by one. Some continue to study, some start their own businesses, some join the Shenghua system to start training, and some follow their parents' footsteps to join the army. Time flies, so many years have passed, and as these children grow up, Song Chaoyuan and his generation are gradually getting old.
Song Yuanchao also began to slowly withdraw from the daily management of the company. Unless there were important matters or meetings, Song Yuanchao would generally go to the company much less than before. However, the power of the company was still in the hands of Song Yuanchao. After all, Song Yangming was not yet able to control such a large Shenghua Group. In addition, due to the requirements of the company's board of directors, Song Yuanchao could only do it reluctantly.
Even so, Song Chaoyuan now has much more free time than before. After Zhang's mother passed away, Zhang Jianguo handed over the company to his son-in-law and retired. After that, he and Qin Xia traveled around. In two years, they went to many places and visited many countries.
Going out and seeing things not only broadens your horizons, but also makes you feel more relaxed. This time they just went to the Amazon in South America, and they talked about it with great relish after returning. Looking at Zhang Jianguo's face, which looks younger than a few years ago, it seems that traveling around the world is indeed good for the body and mind.
Now Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan also take time out of the year to go out and travel together. They have left their footprints in Europe, America and Oceania, and have also gained a lot of knowledge. When they were young, due to their busy work and insufficient conditions at the time, Song Chaoyuan and Lin Yan went out to travel at best in China or Hong Kong every year. Now it can be regarded as making up for the regrets of their youth.
"Where is this?" One day, Song Chaoyuan took Lin Yan out, and the two took a car to a place in the suburbs. After getting off the car, Lin Yan looked at this ordinary community in confusion and couldn't help asking her husband beside her.
"Come with me!" Song Chaoyuan said to Lin Yan and pulled Lin Yan's hand.
Although Lin Yan felt strange, she did not ask any more questions and followed Song Yuanchao into the community.
This is an ordinary residential area. There are many such residential areas in Shanghai . Why did Song Yuanchao bring me here? Is there any acquaintance living here?
In doubt, Song Chaoyuan took Lin Yan inside. It seemed that he was very familiar with this place, but Lin Yan still couldn't figure out who she knew lived here.
After a while, they came to a doorway. Song Yuan smiled at Lin Yan, took out the key from his pocket, opened the security door downstairs, and then took Lin Yan's hand and walked in.
The buildings here seem to have been built around the 1990s, and most of these communities were used as resettlement housing. When they were built, the buildings here were quite good, but more than 20 years have passed. Although the property has been repaired every few years, it still looks a bit old after a long time.
Going up to the third floor, there was a layout of two households per elevator. Song Yuanchao brought Lin Yan to the door on the left side of the third floor.
"Where is this...?" Looking at the rusty door, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask again.
Song Yuanchao smiled without saying anything, inserted the key into the door lock, and turned it, and the door opened.
"Come in." Song Yuanchao pushed open the door and said. Lin Yan walked in hesitantly. When she entered the room and saw the display in the room, Lin Yan was suddenly stunned, because the display in this room made her very familiar. Aren't many things in it things from Song Yuanchao's old house?
"This place? Why did you move all the things from the alley here?" Lin Yan asked in surprise. She didn't understand why Song Yuanchao did this and what was going on with this house.
"I asked someone to reorganize the alley. Some things don't fit there. I bought this house casually a few years ago and have left it there without doing anything. So I moved all the things here. Today is a good time for me to come and take a look." Song Yuanchao said with a smile. He looked around, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.
Lin Yan didn't know that this house was actually where Song Yuanchao lived for thirty years in his previous life, and it was also the last home where Song Yuanchao left this world in his previous life.
Everything here was restored by Song Yuanchao according to his memory. The decoration and furniture inside were exactly the same as he remembered. And the things that Lin Yan was familiar with were also moved from the old house in the alley. Of course, what he said to Lin Yan was just an excuse.
Holding Lin Yan's hand, Song Chaoyuan took her to his bedroom. There was a rattan chair by the window next to the balcony. Next to the rattan chair was a square wooden stool with an old semiconductor radio and an ashtray on it.
"How about it? Do I look like a retired old man?" Song Yuanchao walked to the rattan chair and sat down. He reached out to pick up the radio, turned it on and tuned to a channel. Music came from the radio. Song Yuanchao closed his eyes slightly, half lying in the rattan chair. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked Lin Yan with a smile.
Lin Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when watching this scene. She wondered why Song Chaoyuan brought her here and whether he was deliberately trying to make her laugh.
"Like, you are just a retired old man."
"Hahaha!" Song Chaoyuan laughed loudly. He stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Yan into his arms suddenly. Lin Yan exclaimed slightly and was not aware that she was being pulled over by Song Yuanchao.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to hug you..."
"What are you hugging? Aren't you afraid of hurting your waist? You are so old, and you are still treating us like we are young?" Lin Yan's face turned slightly red, and she struggled to stand up, but Song Yuanchao held her tightly, making it impossible for Lin Yan to get up.
"Don't move, let me hug you, just like before... Yan Zi... I want to tell you... I love you... forever..."
"Yuanchao, you..." Lin Yan couldn't help but feel hot on her face. She and Song Yuanchao were both almost sixty years old. They were no longer teenagers of eighteen or nineteen years old. Suddenly, her husband who had been with her through thick and thin said such a thing. Lin Yan felt embarrassed.
But in her heart, Lin Yan felt extremely sweet. She gradually relaxed her body and put her face in Song Yuanchao's arms, feeling this familiar and broad chest.
"I love you too..." Lin Yan murmured.
The music was still playing from the radio next to them. It was a tune and voice that Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan were extremely familiar with. Rowling's singing seemed to come from afar, carrying with it the accumulation and confession of years.
When you are old
Gray hair
Feeling sleepy...
When you are old
Can't walk anymore
Napping by the fire
Reminiscing about youth…
The sunlight outside the window shone through the glass like gold on them. Accompanied by the melodious singing, their thoughts seemed to travel through time and space and return to the past...
