Chapter 324 He really has 10 million!
If there is one thing that Lu Yiming is most dissatisfied with in this era, it is probably that laptops at this time cannot access the Internet on the go.
But this is not a problem that he can solve by just slapping his forehead.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaolong, an expert, can understand it.
After Lu Yiming described the functions of the Miaomiao software to him, Zhang Xiaolong felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were directly opened, and the feeling of sudden enlightenment was even stronger than before.
He knew very well that this was what he had been pursuing.
Lu Yiming had been observing the changes in Zhang Xiaolong's expression, and he clearly saw Miaomiao's impact on Zhang Xiaolong.
"What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? Are you impressed by my idea?"
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said sincerely, "Mr. Lu is indeed a genius. He has a very clear view of future trends. Han Yu once said that there are good horses only after there are good horse trainers. Good horses are common, but good horse trainers are rare. I originally thought that since the domestic Internet environment is so poor, I would go to the United States to try my luck after selling Foxmail. But now, I can't bear to leave."
"Only the wilderness is worth cultivating. What can you do in the United States? Do they need you to add icing on the cake? It's right to stay. In five years at most, you will know that your decision is absolutely correct."
As he spoke, Lu Yiming had already signed a check for 10 million and pushed it in front of Zhang Xiaolong.
"Sign the contract tomorrow morning."
It was clearly just a piece of white paper weighing only a few grams, placed in front of him, as if it would fly away with a slight breeze. However, Zhang Xiaolong felt that the piece of paper in his palm was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he almost couldn't hold it.
This is the weight of 10 million. In this era in Xia country, how many people can have a fortune of 10 million?
Now, with a simple nod, the money was his.
For a moment, Zhang Xiaolong looked up at the bright moon in the sky. He felt as if he was in a dream. Everything seemed too unreal.
During the day, he was still a poor guy who didn't even have a hundred dollars on him.
But now, he is worth tens of millions and is among the wealthy.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong seemed a little dazed, Lu Yiming smiled and teased, "You have to get used to the life of a rich man as soon as possible. Follow me and work hard. In three to five years, billionaires will only be the starting point of your life. Right now, it's just tens of millions. Just be happy about it. You don't have to take it too seriously."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded vigorously, obviously having made up his mind, and his words were even more decisive: "Boss Lu, I will follow you!"
Lei Jun was unwilling to offer 150,000 for Foxmail, but Lu Yiming was willing to pay 10 million for it. Compared with before, it was obvious that Lu Yiming recognized Zhang Xiaolong's value more.
As the saying goes, a gentleman will die for his confidant. Although there are no such exaggerated things as life or death in modern society, Zhang Xiaolong still knows what is good for him and who does not. He can clearly tell who values him and who does not.
Seeing that the deal had been settled, Lu Yiming raised his glass again and said happily to Zhang Xiaolong: "Cheers, starting tomorrow, the two of us are going to reshape the Xiaguo Internet!"
What a bold statement!
Zhang Xiaolong's emotions seemed to be infected as well. He raised his glass high, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses seemed to echo in the void, resounding throughout the entire era.
"Dry!"
"Come on, eat the food. Even though we didn't order much, we can't waste it. I'm not a wasteful person. If you can't finish it, just pack it up."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they packed up the rest and asked Zhang Xiaolong to take it with them. When they walked out of the hotel, it was already past one in the morning.
Qi Rong was waiting outside. When he saw the two men coming out, he said to Zhang Xiaolong, "Mr. Zhang, please get in the car."
Zhang Xiaolong said, "If you send me back, what about Mr. Lu?"
Qi Rong said, "Oh, Mr. Lu doesn't usually drive a Mercedes-Benz, he always drives a Rolls-Royce."
"hiss……"
Zhang Xiaolong suddenly felt that his imagination seemed a little lacking. It turned out that he was not used to looking at problems from the perspective of a rich person.
Under Lu Yiming's gaze, Zhang Xiaolong got into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz.
He looked at the check in his hand and still felt it was unreal.
Before the car started, Lu Yiming came over and knocked on the car window, and told Zhang Xiaolong: "When you move to Bi Hai Long Ting tomorrow, I have a villa there. It's idle anyway, so you might as well move in. This way, it will be convenient for us to communicate with each other."
Lu Yiming still wanted to have a good communication with such a talented and knowledgeable software industry boss. His head was full of all kinds of creative ideas, but he was very lazy, so he had to find a hardworking tool to help him realize them, right?
As soon as he saw Zhang Xiaolong, Lu Yiming felt that he had an extraordinary talent and was very suitable for this important task.
Zhang Xiaolong had been shocked enough tonight that he felt that the villa seemed a bit ordinary, so he did not refuse and nodded in agreement: "Then I will prepare and move the things to the place you mentioned."
Zhang Xiaolong was naturally willing to live in a big villa, but he still had to go back and move all the things that needed to be moved in before he could officially move in.
Although he has money now, Zhang Xiaolong is obviously still worried about the computer equipment in the rental house and the technological achievements he has accumulated with great effort.
The silver moon was high in the sky, and with the cool evening breeze, Qi Rong drove Zhang Xiaolong back to the rental house where he had lived for more than a year.
Although it is called a rental house, the furnishings inside the house are actually extremely simple, even shabby.
A wooden bed whose original color can no longer be seen.
A long, rickety table.
And the yellow and white big back computer on the table.
The computer was originally white, but now it is covered with dust and dirt, looking like an antique that has just been unearthed.
A little drunk, Zhang Xiaolong walked to the bed in a daze, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Zhang Xiaolong woke up from bed, there was already a lot of noise outside the house.
Perhaps because of drinking, Zhang Xiaolong's mind was still a little fuzzy, and many fragments flashed through his mind.
He looked around, everything was so familiar, nothing had changed.
"I seemed to have had a dream, a dream of becoming rich overnight."
His hands automatically searched his pockets.
Finally, he found the check signed by Lu Yiming in his trouser pocket, especially the string of zeros on it, which instantly sobered him up and made him feel refreshed.
“Is this… true?”
He rushed out and went to the store.
"Sister Chen! Let me make a call!"
When Chen Yujiao saw Zhang Xiaolong and thought of the Mercedes-Benz last night, she couldn't help but tease him, "Xiaolong, you're going to be very successful."
Zhang Xiaolong said hurriedly: "I'll tell you later."
He called the number on the check.
Lu Yiming's check was issued by Standard Chartered Bank.
After confirming all the information on the check, the bank staff told Zhang Xiaolong that he could withdraw the money at any time.
“It’s actually true…”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help muttering to himself.
He really has 10 million!
"Sister Chen, Sister Chen!"
Zhang Xiaolong yelled, startling Chen Yujiao who was working in the house. She quickly ran out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaolong said excitedly: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, let's go out for a big meal!"
Chen Yujiao laughed and said, "Oh, it looks like you really got rich, huh?"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong was making progress, Chen Yujiao was very happy for him. "It's too expensive to go out for a big meal. I'll go out and buy some more food, and you can come to my place to eat and celebrate for you. During the time you've lived here, you've helped my child with his homework many times, and I have to thank you very much."
"That's all right. Then, I'll go buy some groceries! I haven't tasted Sister Chen's cooking in a long time."
"good."
Zhang Xiaolong was excited again and dialed the phone home with trembling hands.
"Hello? Xiaolong, how come you have time to call me at this time today?" The mother's kind voice came from the phone.
Zhang Xiaolong thought about how he finally got his wish after all the hardship. He couldn't help but burst into tears and said with a sob, "Mom, it's okay. I just missed you."
"Silly child, come back if you miss us. Are you short of money? I'll ask your dad to send you some money..."
Zhang Xiaolong wiped his eyes and quickly stopped her, saying, "Mom, no, I'm rich. I've made a lot of money. I called to tell you the good news. I, your son, am now a multi-millionaire!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xiaolong's mother was startled and her tone became anxious: "Xiaolong, what has stimulated you? Are you possessed? If things really don't work out, just come back. Even if our family is poor, we still have enough for you to eat."
Zhang Xiaolong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain patiently, "Mom, I'm not crazy! A big boss spent 10 million to buy an email software I made, and asked me to work with him. Now I've made a name for myself. You and Dad don't have to worry about my work now! You two old people just wait to enjoy the good life with me. Is your family short of money? I'll send you some money tomorrow."
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xiaolong's mother curled her lips and muttered, "Our family has no worries about food or clothing, why do we need so much money? What happiness can your father and I enjoy? But you, you are almost thirty years old, and you don't get married or have children. You don't even have a girlfriend..."
Zhang Xiaolong felt a headache when he heard his mother urging him to get married again. He quickly interrupted her and said, "Ah, Mom, I have to go sign a contract with my boss right now. I'll hang up now. I'll come back to see you when I'm on vacation. Bye, I love you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then he turned his head and found Chen Yujiao looking at him with strange eyes. He couldn't help but wipe his face with his hand and asked, "Sister Chen, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Chen Yujiao was a little surprised and said, "You just said that you made 10 million?"
What a concept ten million is these days!
The term "ten thousand yuan household" has only become popular in the past few years.
Zhang Xiaolong did not hide anything and told Chen Yujiao about the transaction with Lu Yiming last night.
Chen Yujiao thought of the noble Mercedes-Benz S that came to pick up Zhang Xiaolong last night, and knew that what Zhang Xiaolong said was true. She was sincerely happy for Zhang Xiaolong.
"You kid, you have finally made it big this time. Congratulations. Before I knew it, you have become friends with billionaires. I knew you were not an ordinary person. Studying is the key. I asked my children to follow your example, and it turned out to be right!"
Zhang Xiaolong was also excited: "Tomorrow, I will move to the Bihailongting community. When you are free, bring the children to play with me. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
He is a man who knows how to repay kindness. Chen Yujiao gave him a lot of help when he was down and out. Now that he has become rich, he will naturally not fail to acknowledge this kindness.
Chen Yujiao was surprised and said, "You're spending money to buy a villa now? I remember it was a famous high-end community."
Zhang Xiaolong touched his head and smiled awkwardly, "No, that boss has an idle villa and asked me to stay there temporarily. I haven't even received the money yet."
"Oh, it's getting late. I have to go sign a contract with Mr. Lu. Remember, come and have tea with me when you are free. If you want to go somewhere or eat something, tell me. I'll treat you."
Chen Yujiao laughed and scolded, "Alright, go and do your thing. You look like a shrewd person who has achieved success."
Zhang Xiaolong laughed loudly, ran to the intersection, hailed a taxi, waved his hand, and said in a heroic tone: "Let's go to Jinji Food Co., Ltd."
At Shijinji, Lu Yiming had been waiting in the office early in the morning. When he saw Zhang Xiaolong coming, he pushed a contract in front of him.
"This is the contract drawn up by my legal advisor. Take a look at it and sign it if there are no problems."
Zhang Xiaolong had already received the money, so he was naturally not worried that Lu Yiming would cheat him. After reading the contract from beginning to end, he signed it happily.
Lu Yiming was very happy to have recruited a great general like Zhang Xiaolong. The two walked out of , and Lu Yiming said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the Blue Sea Dragon Court to see where you'll live next. If you have anything to move, I'll ask someone to move it for you, and I'll try to get you started working today. I need that vote counting system urgently."
"Well, Mr. Lu, don't worry."
The two arrived at the Bi Hai Long Ting. The spacious and luxurious villa made Zhang Xiaolong feel like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything he saw seemed extremely novel.
For many years, this kind of mansion existed only in his imagination. Now walking in this mansion, it can be said that his dream has come true.
Lu Yiming introduced the things while Zhang Xiaolong was on the tour.
"I haven't decorated this place much since I bought it, so the conditions are pretty good. However, I have acquired a real estate company, and I plan to build a new office building and a villa community. When the time comes, I will move there and live there, so it will be more convenient for me to work."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded woodenly because he didn't know how to respond.
This villa is said to be in “acceptable conditions”, then what about the tube-shaped building we lived in before?
Sure enough, the world of rich people is so confusing.
