What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 226 Startup
This time, Yu Xing went home for the Spring Festival and felt like he was in his student days.

When I close my eyes, it's vacation time. When I open my eyes again, the vacation is over...

As a native of Haiyan, Yu Xing usually does not go to the beach to watch the sunrise. After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, he has seen it many times since he was a child. Or perhaps, the scenery of his hometown has been deeply imprinted in his heart, so there is no need to pursue it deliberately.

But on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year this year, he enthusiastically made an appointment with the old couple to go sightseeing the next day the night before.

Although the sunrise in Haiyan in February is at 6:40, which is not particularly early, it still takes half an hour for the family of three to drive to Lin'an Bay Bridge. Yu Guosheng couldn't help but complain about his son as he breathed in the cool air.

"If you want to watch the sunrise, just wait for your wife to come. Why are you causing trouble for us two?"

"It's rare. I'm usually busy. How about you two come with me to Shencheng. It's closer there." Yu Xing stepped on the accelerator lightly.

Yu Guosheng yawned. "What's so good about it? It's not like we haven't seen it before, and it's not like we haven't seen it together before."

Yu Xing said to his mother in the passenger seat, "Mom, my dad definitely didn't take you to see the sunrise over the Lin'an Bay Bridge, did he?"

The Lin'an Bay Cross-sea Bridge connects Haiyan and Ningbo. Its foundation construction began in 03 and it was not opened to traffic until May Day last year.

Chu Qiying glanced at the back seat and said, "How could your father have such an intention?"

Seeing this, Yu Guosheng said dissatisfiedly: "Yu Xing! You are about to go to work, and you are still trying to sow discord at home!"

"Dad, one of my criteria for building a website is to seek truth from facts. Tell me, is what I just said true?" Yu Xing said with a smile.

Yu Guosheng immediately said, "I will resign after I see the sunrise. When you leave tomorrow, take me with you. Start taking care of me now!"

Chu Qiying looked at the dark night under the street lights outside the window, listened to the conversation between the father and son, and finally became interested in the sunrise: "It seems that I haven't seen it for a long time. Not to mention watching the sunrise, this bridge has been built for more than a year, and I haven't walked across it yet."

"After my son passes away, I will take you to see it every day." Yu Guosheng immediately expressed his attitude when he heard his wife say this.

Chu Qiying said unhappily, "Go away."

It turns out that despite seeing many beautiful sunrises, this side of the cross-sea bridge is still unique.

The darkness between the sky and the sea was slowly blurred by a hint of paleness, and soon the spreading morning glow seemed to float above the winding cross-sea bridge. As far as the eye could see, the lights of the cars passing on the bridge dotted the natural scenery.

The morning sun leaps out, the waves sparkle, and the sound of waves hitting the shore is particularly pleasant.

"The sun broke free from the sea level and leaped with all its might..." Yu Xing was moved by the scene.

Yu Guosheng continued, "Why? With this powerful leap, the sunlight shining down is all golden, and the sea breeze is filled with the scent of money, right?"

Yu Xing turned around and said, "Mom, look at my dad. He's so vulgar."

"Come, take a picture." Chu Qiying took out his mobile phone and recorded this sunrise that he had not seen for a long time.

Yu Xing hugged his old father and smiled brightly.

Then he took a photo of the old couple.

Yu Xing took two photos like this, then looked left and right and saw an old man and a child a little further away also admiring the sunrise, so he trotted over to ask them to help take a photo of the family of three.

Click click click.

The young man helped take several photos in a row.

"Not bad, very good." Yu Xing thanked the other party and asked, "Do you want me to take pictures for you?"

The young man seemed very shy and hesitated to speak.

Instead, the uncle with wrinkles all over his face said honestly, "Thank you, we'll take two photos too."

Yu Xing found a good position and angle, and carefully took a few photos of the two. Then he looked back and saw the old couple walking hand in hand on the beach.

He didn't want to disturb his parents at this time so he started talking to the two of them.

I came to see the sunrise during the Chinese New Year...

To put it nicely, it is poetic; to put it bluntly, it may be unusual.

Yu Xing noticed that the two men were dressed quite simply and felt a little curious.

"We didn't go home for the New Year. It's too far. We had to go back to the mountains. There weren't many people at home." The uncle chatted and talked about the reason. "Two years ago, I followed the construction team to build a bridge here. At that time, I saw the sun coming out every morning. It was very beautiful. It was a good opportunity to bring the children to see it today."

Yu Xing shared cigarettes, and seeing the young man shaking his head, he lit the cigarette for the uncle and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, our family came here specifically to see the bridge. Uncle, it's okay. I asked my dad to take me to see it, but he was not happy. The child was admitted from the mountains? That's amazing. He is still studying?"

He started out by mopping up college students and is very familiar with the feelings of this group.

The uncle replied proudly, "I'm a sophomore, studying computer science."

He looked at his son again and shook his head, "He just doesn't like to talk."

"It's okay if you don't like to talk. Just study hard. IT is very popular in recent years. Smartphones are the future development." Yu Xing said cheerfully while smoking a cigarette, "Not all technical people need to talk a lot."

At this point, he estimated that factors such as "it's too far to go back to the mountains" and "not going home for the New Year" made him kindly add: "My company is working on smartphone applications. I can really delve into this area in the future. I don't want to make a lot of money, but I can live a comfortable life."

The uncle was a little surprised, rubbed his hands again, and touched his son's arm: "They are all computer experts, you should ask them more questions and don't be a silent person."

Yu Xing waved his hand, smiled and continued chatting for a few more words, then he saw his parents walking towards him.

He gave some encouragement, said some auspicious words, and left.

"What are they talking about? Why are they so upset so early in the morning that they come here to enjoy the fresh air?" Yu Guosheng wondered, "You are the one who can make anyone happy now."

"They are a father and son. Their home is in the mountains of Guizhou. It's too far, so they simply didn't go back. The uncle also worked in a bridge construction team." Yu Xing laughed, "What do you mean by being too narrow-minded? You are a clerk, but you can't let others appreciate the scenery?"

Yu Guosheng spread his hands: "The problem is, there is no poetry in my writing from beginning to end..."

Yu Xing had nothing to say and put away his phone. Because they were all "computer guys", he had been given his number by this uncle. "Let's go eat. Liu Wanying is coming tomorrow. If you still want to be poetic, you can continue to come here. The sunrise time this month is good, just let her wear more clothes." Chu Qiying stretched out her hand to hold her son's arm and turned to nagging him about his trip to Shencheng. "Liu Wanying can't cook. If you have nothing to do, cook more. Don't be lazy and save trouble. Eat out less. It's not about spending money, it's about being healthy."

She squeezed her son's arm again and emphasized the point: "Health is the most important thing. Without health, what's the point of doing a good job? You need to arrange your time properly. Don't always schedule meetings in the evening. Can't your company improve work efficiency?"

Because of the consideration that his son only reports good news and not bad news, Chu Qiying also believed Chu Zhiguang's indirect feedback.

Yu Xing was really speechless and could only agree to it all.

After watching the sunrise, the family of three drove back and walked around two streets before they found a breakfast restaurant that had been open since the beginning of the year.

After eating his fill, Yu Guosheng finally turned to understanding and observing his son's mood, and said, "I think you want to do something big this year, but like your mother said, your health must be more important than your work."

Yu Xing put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Yes! Director Yu!"

Yu Guosheng rolled his eyes. He was no longer a clerk now.

"Health and work." Chu Qiying finished eating slowly and finally said, "Family is also an important part. Xingxing, are you considering getting married this year?"

Yu Xing hesitated. His mind was full of thoughts about catching the goose and luring the cat out of the snake. He was suddenly reminded of this topic...

He thought and thought: "We haven't talked about this yet, um, this... we can wait and see."

Chu Qiying glanced at his son and said, "Why don't you ask Liu Wanying what she thinks? Two people need to communicate more when they are together, not just being sweet and loving, right? We don't have to realize our future plans yet, we can just plan them first."

Yu Xing blinked and decided to mention it to Xiaoying who came to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow.

result……

He felt that he had no chance to bring it up. As soon as they met, they talked about the interesting New Year stories of the two children in his teacher's family. When he got home, he saw his mother and girlfriend, whom he had not seen for many years, talking affectionately. When he drove back in the afternoon... the topic turned to busy work again.

"How many people have been decided on by Ge Zhijie? How big is the size of your development team? Was the previous salary based on the number of people?" Liu Wanying lowered the passenger seat's backrest and asked a few questions in succession.

Yu Xing thought to himself, "Let's talk about it later." His attention shifted to work. "The two million that Ge Zhijie and I talked about is for a budget of about five people. Now the expected team size is about 5 people. Ge Zhijie's team is considered the core team, and the others are regular employees. They are just downstairs from us. I think Bai Xiaosheng's employees can also be seconded directly."

"It's not clear what we are doing with this secondment. It's better to assign people to specific positions. There's no need to save a little money and sacrifice our greater value." Liu Wanying pondered, "If we follow Ge Zhijie's opinion, with two or three months of development time, the software can be launched in April or May."

She continued to calculate, "Assuming it is April, you didn't have a big wave at the beginning, so Penguin certainly wouldn't notice it. It would take two months for it to notice it, and three months for the internal competition and reaction of large companies. These five months should be relatively comfortable, which means there may be a good development environment until September."

The competition between WeChat and Penguin is calculated on a monthly basis.

No matter how Yu Xing calculated, he didn't think that Penguin could tolerate its smooth development for a year. If that were the case... it might really have to change its strategic goals.

Similarly, short selling of funds that have passed the peak is mobilized based on such judgment as a prerequisite. For example, PUT put options must have an agreed time limit.

"After September, it will be Q9, and our competition may become more intense." Yu Xing took over the topic, "Well, I don't think it will be easy to survive for three months. Communication software is often not based on personal preference, but on relationship chains. We can't coexist with Penguin in this market."

It is impossible for WeChat A and WeChat B to coexist in the instant messaging market.

Users will not use A to communicate with friends one moment, and then use B to communicate with another group of friends the next moment.

This is also one of the reasons why investors opposed Yu Xing's incubation. A large market can usually accommodate multiple players, but the instant messaging track is special. The strong will always be strong, and then drain the weak, and in the end only one winner will emerge.

Unfortunately, Penguin has been working in this field for 13 years, and now it only needs to switch from PC to mobile, which is much easier.

"Now that you mention it... we may have to count by weeks after September." Liu Wanying laughed and turned to look at Yu Xing, "Hey, after a few more words like this, I'm going to lose all the enthusiasm I had in the past few months. It's not too late for us to give up our goal now..."

"Give it a try first. After all, you won't lose everything. You can recover part of your investment before Q1 next year. The worst that can happen is that you can start all over again." Yu Xing said calmly, "Even if this happens, even if no one buys WeChat, even if the short selling fails, we still have Bai Xiaosheng in our hands. We won't be left with nothing."

He saw the red light, slowed down the car, and said seriously: "Bai Xiaosheng will also develop rapidly this year. I think there is hope for an overseas listing next year. I won't consider the mainland and Hong Kong. The profit requirements overseas are relatively low. Once the listing financing is raised, we can immediately make great achievements in the recruitment market."

If short selling fails, you can still go long.

Liu Wanying exhaled, shook her head slightly and said, "I'm on my way here. Well, after the Chinese New Year, I have to go back to work. When I think about the size of the goal and what we need to do, I really feel a little scalp tingling."

Yu Xing smiled and said, “Didn’t you just work for Alibaba? Penguin is at the same level.”

"The problem is that we don't need to challenge Alibaba in the C2C field. We just found a small mistake of Alibaba." Liu Wanying frowned and said, "Now... we want to create a small mistake of Penguin. The difficulty is completely different."

"I had a feeling when I watched the sunrise yesterday. This year's action is called a leap forward..." Yu Xing first said four words, and then seeing that the road ahead was clear, he stepped on the accelerator and said the last four words, "Let's die!"

Liu Wanying turned her head and stared at Yu Xing for several seconds before saying, "Okay."

After the Spring Festival, the company resumed work.

However, such holidays often require some time to eliminate laziness.

Liu Jiankai of Today Capital was so leisurely that he spent several days before he remembered to ask Yu Xing about his plans and ideas. He happened to pass by Bai Xiaosheng that day and came over to take a look.

He arrived at the place, took the elevator, entered the company, and was told that Yu Xing was on the fifth floor below.

So Liu Jiankai turned around and went downstairs again.

However, as soon as he walked out of the stairs, he saw that the company sign on the fifth floor had been put up, with the words "WeChat Company" clearly visible, and through the glass he could see employees working.

Liu Jiankai saw Yu Xing, who had just answered the phone and hurried over to greet him, and pointed at the company name on the wall in astonishment and asked, "Boss Yu, how...how did you...how did this start?"

Yu Xing asked in confusion: "What else? Do you think I was just talking?"

Liu Jiankai took a breath, feeling that Mr. Yu, a man of action, always refreshed his perception of him.

He looked at Mr. Yu, then at the company name on the wall, and couldn't help but mutter, "You really are not afraid of death..."

You are really not afraid of death and you really want to seek death.

Yu Xing replied with the words he had used to communicate with Xiaoying, and said calmly, "Let him die, that's it!"
