What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 62 Financial Crisis
On September 9, Zhong Zhiling, the third in command of Guiai.com, returned to Shanghai, while Beijing was still under the charge of the original marketing manager.

Similarly, Lv Haiying is also confirmed to return to Jinling on the 11th.

Yu Xing has now made clear the time plan. He will slowly negotiate with Zhenai.com, Jiayuan.com and Baihe.com before the Internet Conference, and will try to buy them out by September 9.

At the same time, he also took a short vacation and planned to return to his hometown on the 14th to deal with the financial crisis at home.

Since September, Yu Xing has gradually received calls from relatives. On the one hand, some analyses of the US economic situation have appeared in the media newspapers. On the other hand, people are gradually unable to contact Yu Xuhui in the United States, so they call him.

Yu Xing has not tried to contact the fraudulent senior since June, but he is still trying to comfort investors intermittently, but the time intervals between responses are getting longer and longer.

Now, from a more sober bystander perspective, financial victims often deceive themselves.

Zhong Zhiling knew what his senior brother was doing when he returned home, and he also consulted him on what he should do in this situation.

"Your family doesn't have much money. If you don't ask, just keep doing it. If you do, you have the company's shares to back you up anyway." Yu Xing said, and then asked, "You're not as panicked as June, are you?"

Zhong Zhiling was silent, his mood was really different.

Even under the current circumstances, the deficit still cannot be fully made up, but we are indeed not that panicked anymore.

He recalled the despair that spread from his heart that night. He was a little dazed for a moment, but then he felt sincerely grateful to his senior brother.

"Brother Xing, although you always control me, I really..." Zhong Zhiling thanked me honestly, "Thank you very much."

Yu Xing smiled but said nothing.

Zhong Zhiling looked at his senior brother's expression, and suddenly a trace of doubt arose in his heart. He asked tentatively: "Brother Xing, do you remember that you promised me that you would inform me in advance if there is anything in the future?"

Yu Xing still smiled but said nothing.

"Hey, Brother Xing, hey, you are really my brother! Are you hiding something from me?" Zhong Zhiling was really anxious, "We are brothers! Tell me if you have anything to say! Is it Xiaoying? Or selling the company?"

"Nothing. Just like you said, we are close brothers. What can I hide from you?" Yu Xing said kindly, "Is it because you are going to sell the company? Are you worried about it again?"

Zhong Zhiling was slightly gagged by this sentence, and could only mutter: "What thoughts can I have? I have the least thoughts among the three of us..."

He now vaguely discovered that his girlfriend Lu Haiying seemed to be quite talented in both doing things and being a person.

Just like she said last time, everyone wants to have honest people around them, but she hasn't figured out this truth for two or three months.

Who is the one who is guaranteed to study?

Do I really have to call him “Mr. Lu” from now on?
"If you have anything to say, please call me these days. I didn't go back home this summer like I did in previous years. My mother has called me several times recently. It just so happens that our business is still relatively stable." Yu Xing gave the reason for going back at this time point, "We can also talk about company matters."

Zhong Zhiling said "hmm", said goodbye to his senior brother, and continued with his work.

Yu Xing carried his bag and took his office keys and set off on his journey back home.

His hometown is Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province, which is actually closer to Shanghai.

It only takes more than two hours to take a bus from Shanghai to my hometown, while it takes more than four hours from Jinling.

Yu Xing listened to music with headphones, watching the scenery receding outside and pondering the buyers' attitudes.

This was my first time starting a business and selling a company. From June to September, many things were new and bold attempts. Although the company did not actually make much profit, it was able to build a platform and achieve monthly revenue of over one million in a short period of time, and showcase the company's final product to industry buyers...

Isn’t this also a thrilling leap in cognition and practice?

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xing arrived in Haiyan County. Instead of taking a taxi, he walked back home leisurely.

According to habit, my father should be getting off work soon. He will go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and then come home to cook. Depending on the situation, my mother will probably chat with parents who come to pick up their children at school, but she will be home by six at the latest.

This has been the rule in our family since we were little.

Yu Xing's father, Yu Guosheng, works at the county's Agricultural Machinery Bureau, and his mother, Chu Qiying, is a Chinese teacher at Tianning Primary School. If it weren't for the changes caused by financial deficits, their lives might have remained peaceful.

Sure enough, after waiting at the door for less than fifteen minutes, Yu Xing heard his father's footsteps coming up the stairs.

Yu Guosheng walked up the stairs in silence. Just as he was about to reach for the key in his pocket, he looked up and saw his son whom he hadn't seen for several months. A smile appeared on his face before the surprise faded.

"You little brat! Why are you back? Why didn't you call? Your mother said yesterday that you wouldn't even come home during the summer vacation. You've really grown independent!" Yu Guosheng's voice was quite loud. He took two steps forward and punched his son on the shoulder with a light punch.

"You're tired from moving bricks, come back and take a rest." Yu Xing said with a smile.

As Yu Guosheng opened the door, he asked in confusion, "What bricks are you moving? Is your school going to build a new building? You don't have enough manpower, so why don't you ask your students to help?"

"It means work." Yu Xing picked up the backpack on the ground, unzipped it, pulled out two Liqun cigarettes and threw them on the sofa, "Here, these are for you, keep them."

Yu Guosheng's eyes lit up when he saw the two packs of cigarettes. He rushed to the sofa and said in surprise and confusion, "Why are you buying cigarettes? Your money is for living expenses. Why are you buying these? Where should I put this?"

He is an old smoker, but his wife ordered him to quit smoking two years ago. On the one hand, he firmly agrees with this family decision, but on the other hand, he can't help but take a puff secretly.

"Put it in my mother's closet. It's dark under the light." Yu Xing suggested.

"No, no, she's been thinking about remodeling her wardrobe these past two days." Yu Guosheng turned around twice and tried to put the cigarette back into his backpack. "Put it in your bag first. She definitely won't look at your bag. I'll take it to the office tomorrow."

As soon as Yu Guosheng opened the bag, he was suddenly stunned to find a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes inside.

He turned to his son and asked, "Who is this for?"

"I smoked it myself." Yu Xing said calmly, "I've been under a lot of pressure lately, so I just bought one from the street."

Yu Guosheng's face changed a little. He smoked Zhonghua or Soft Zhong, and you gave me Liquan?
In addition, what does this consumption of buying one casually mean?
Yu Xing saw his father's expression, guessed some of his thoughts, and explained simply: "It can be reimbursed."

Yu Guosheng stuffed the cigarettes into his backpack, and regained his aura. He paced back and forth and said, "Oh, it can be reimbursed. How much can it be reimbursed?"

Before Yu Xing could answer, both father and son heard familiar footsteps coming from the stairs.

Yu Guosheng noticed that the backpack on the sofa was somewhat conspicuous and gave his son a look.

Yu Xing reached out and put the bag on the ground beside the sofa.

"Old Yu, Xiaoying called me yesterday." Chu Qiying's voice came in before he arrived, but the second half of the sentence suddenly turned into surprise, "Hey, Xingxing, why are you back!"

She hugged her son.

Just as Yu Xing was about to express his happiness at returning home, his mother pinched his mouth with her hand.

"You've lost weight! Why do you smell like cigarettes? Bare teeth! Let me see!" Chu Qiying smelled the strong smell of cigarettes keenly and pinched his son's mouth with one hand.

Yu Xing bared his teeth helplessly, showing his teeth that had not yet had time to accumulate smoke stains.

Chu Qiying didn't see the clues, and turned around to blame her husband: "I told you to quit smoking as soon as possible. Xingxing has been watching you smoking since he was a child. What's the good of smoking? Look at how thin our son is!"

Yu Guosheng suffered an unexpected disaster and could only throw up his hands: "I quit, I quit! Is it so easy to quit smoking? Also, smoking can't help you lose weight. What you said is taking drugs, etc...."

He looked at his son, who was obviously much thinner than the last time they met, and was somewhat doubtful. He bought cigarettes for himself and smoked them lavishly...

Yu Xing raised his hands: "Why do I have to do blood and urine tests just to go home? I've been busy lately, so I lost weight!"

Yu Guosheng still believed in his son.

"Old Yu, go cook something you're good at." Chu Qiying could cook, but her cooking wasn't as good as her husband's. She pulled her son to sit on the sofa and asked with a smile about his life during the summer vacation when he didn't go home.

Yu Guosheng looked back every few steps, worried that his wife would seize the backpack that was so close to her.

"Look at your old dad. He doesn't say it, but you can see how much he misses you." Chu Qiying noticed her husband's little action and said to her son with emotion.

Yu Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, I miss you too. Sometimes when I can't sleep at night and feel stressed, I miss you two and can't wait to go home."

The expression of emotions in Chinese families is often implicit, such as "Have you eaten?", "Don't get too tired?", "Please put on more clothes?", "Do you have enough money?", "Don't stay up late". They only report good news and not bad news.

Chu Qiying suddenly heard his son's straightforward narration, and looked at his thin face, his heart ached, but he still pretended to be serious and said: "Why didn't you call me when you couldn't sleep? If you miss us, we will go home."

"I can't leave. Besides, the source of stress is the problem that needs to be solved." Yu Xing said seriously, "If the problem becomes smaller, the stress will naturally become smaller."

When Chu Qiying heard this, she felt worried and wanted to ask her son, but she held back. She controlled her emotions a little and asked with a smile, "I told your father yesterday that my son didn't even go home during the summer vacation. He stayed at school all day and followed his tutor all day. Did he become a live-in son-in-law? Or did he have a date at school and didn't want to come back?"

"No, I'll tell you when I have one." Yu Xing answered casually, and reached out to turn on the TV. The screen happened to be broadcasting foreign news, which was about the US Treasury Department's disposal of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

He watched the news without changing the channel.

Chu Qiying started out talking about things at school, but gradually he started watching the news, and unconsciously thought about how to ask his son.

"Wife, wife, go buy a bottle of soy sauce, we're out of soy sauce!" Yu Guosheng suddenly spoke from the kitchen.

Chu Qiying stood up and walked towards the kitchen. After a moment, with an unnatural look on his face, he went out to buy soy sauce.

By the time she came back with the soy sauce and sat back on the sofa, the news on TV had already switched to the domestic situation.

"Didn't you hate watching the news before?" Chu Qiying sighed, "You've really grown up. Oh, and you've lost weight too. You need to eat well and don't eat junk food!"

She has always been bothered by the fact that her son has lost weight.

"My dad is serving the food. I made up for all the weight I lost during the summer vacation." Yu Xing said with a smile, "Is that ok?"

He got up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Yu Guosheng is very good at cooking. He prepared two cold dishes, three hot dishes and a pot of soup.

"Son, would you like some?" Yu Guosheng poured a glass of wine and called his son.

Chu Qiying rolled her eyes at her husband.

Yu Xing smiled and shook his head.

A family of three, dinner begins.

However, before she had taken two bites, Chu Qiying's phone rang. She looked at the incoming call, got up and went to the bedroom to answer it.

"It's my aunt's call." Yu Xing asked after his mother sat down.

Chu Qiying just said "hmm" and didn't say much.

Yu Guosheng took two sips of wine and heard news about the United States on TV. He pretended not to care and asked, "The situation in the United States is not good right now. Hey, Xingxing, how is your American senior?"

Yu Xing chewed the meat in his mouth carefully, took another sip of the soup, then put down his chopsticks and answered simply, "He ran away."

Yu Guosheng's hand holding the wine glass trembled.

Chu Qiying's face suddenly became heavy.

The air in the small restaurant seemed to become stagnant.

After a moment, Yu Guosheng slowly asked, "What do you mean by running away? Isn't his family from Jinling? He's not coming back? You can't contact him or what?"

Yu Xing did not answer his father's question, but simply said: "This summer, my junior brothers and sisters and I started a company. The goal of starting a business is to make more money to deal with this financial management problem."

Yu Guosheng put his glass on the table and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with financial management? How could your senior run away? You even started a business! With your brain..."

Chu Qiying glanced at her husband worriedly. She didn’t want him to communicate in such a tone when their son just came back. However, forget about the trivial matters at other times. But now that the family has encountered a big problem... her husband still has to speak.

Yu Xing continued to talk: "There are three companies that want to buy our company now, and the highest offer is 130 million."

Yu Guosheng's words were interrupted. A storm was already brewing in his throat, but the sound coming from his ears seemed to sink it directly, smashing the storm that had not yet formed to pieces.

What my son said was easy to verify, and there was no need to lie at such a juncture.

This……

Yu Guosheng uttered an "uh" and asked subconsciously: "Really? Uh, you have a very flexible brain since you were a child..."

Yu Xing sighed: "But I didn't sell it."

Yu Guosheng stood up suddenly and asked, "Are you lying? How can a company sell for more than 100 million in such a short time? I think you are..."

Yu Xing continued, “I plan to attend the Internet Conference in Jinling on September 9, hoping to sell the company for 23 million.”

Yu Guosheng sat back down, thinking that the wine he drank today was too strong. He felt dizzy and stared at his son blankly: "I think you have... you have, you have a brain disease..."

Yu Xing took out his cell phone, flipped to the text messages he had been communicating with the buyer, handed them to his worried mother, then fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to his father, helped him light it, and then lit one for himself.

He took two puffs and said, "Dad, your son is in good health and has a clear mind. He has been busy with the company's affairs for the past three months. Even if the sale price is not 200 million, it should be worth a hundred."

Yu Guosheng smoked silently, then moved closer to his wife and looked at the communication in the text messages together.

The two looked at each other for a while, neither saying anything.

After a long while, Yu Guosheng questioned: "These few text messages are not strong enough evidence. Anyone can send text messages."

"Dad, go to the study and search 'Guiai.com' on the computer. Penguin and Sina have both reported on the company and me. NetEase also reported on it before. I don't know if it was deleted or not." Yu Xing said calmly.

Yu Guosheng immediately got up and went to the study, pressing the search content letter by letter with his index finger.

Soon, he saw the Penguin report "Abandoning medicine to go into business, college students’ entrepreneurial goals aim to make tens of millions."

The company is Guiai.com, and the founder is Yu Xing, who is a first-year graduate student at Jinling Yike University who started his own business...

Right, all right!

Yu Guosheng walked out of the study in a daze, and nodded to his wife who was concerned about the answer, as if it might be true...

The couple sat on the chairs together, staring at their son.

There was surprise, astonishment and confusion on their faces, but the vague worry that had been there before was gone.

Yu Xing lit up his second cigarette, threw one to his father, and smiled. This is what he wanted to see the most! This is what he didn't want to wait for even a second!

Yu Guosheng also lit a cigarette and thought quietly.

Chu Qiying finally reacted, her expression changed, and she looked at her husband: "Mr. Yu! Did I ask you to smoke?"

Yu Guosheng quickly put it out, not a loss, not a loss, he had already finished one.

Yu Xing watched this scene with a smile.

Chu Qiying turned around and asked, "Didn't I mention you? Your last name is not Yu anymore?"

"Uh." Yu Xing took a deep puff of the cigarette and said with a calm smile, "Mom, I'll finish this one and I won't smoke at home tomorrow."

Chu Qiying glared at her son, then turned around and saw her husband getting impatient, and criticized him, "Hurry up and put the cigarettes away for Mr. Yu!"

Yu Xing was choked by this: "Cough cough cough..."

Yu Guosheng put the cigarette in his pocket, put his hand back on the bottle, and asked a question before dinner: "Mr. Yu, would you like some?"

Yu Xing smiled and nodded: "Dad, I'll just have one glass."

Chu Qiying did not object this time and let out a long sigh: "What is going on? I am confused. Xingxing, what have you been doing during this period of time?"

"It's a long story." Yu Xing clinked his cup with his father's and said thoughtfully, "The morality of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the fame of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties..."

Chu Qiying slapped his son on the arm.

Yu Xing immediately said honestly: "One night three months ago, my fellow apprentice Zhong Zhiling had a quarrel with his girlfriend, and I suddenly wanted to make a bet with him..."

One night three months ago, I made a decision, and today, three months later, I saw the rewards on my parents' faces.
