What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 76 The Beginning and End of Working Life (7k)

Yu Xing, Zhong Zhiling and Song Yufeng returned to Shanghai and arrived at the headquarters.

The three people sat in the small office, all feeling emotional at the same time.

The company is going to be sold, really going to be sold...

In just three months, no, the small office was even less than three months old. It hosted discussions on business, customer service replies to Taobao customers, employees eating lunch together while sitting or squatting, and employees were in a state of embarrassment when they could not even stand...

Song Yufeng's mood might be more complicated, as he could vaguely hear the voice and smile of his ex-girlfriend here.

"A new journey has begun. I'll ask Xiao Liu tomorrow if he's willing to join the new company." Yu Xing was referring to the programmers. "As for the others, Zhenai.com won't be affected anyway. The commissions will still be paid. I just don't know how long it will last."

There will be a transition period for Zhenai.com to acquire Guiai.com, but how long can it tolerate such a high commission...

It may not last too long.

Yu Xing thought for a while and asked, "Which city do you think is better for the Bai Xiaosheng website to operate?"

Zhong Zhiling said without hesitation: "I think it should be in Shencheng."

Yu Xing gestured to continue.

"The nature of this website is special. It may attract lawsuits from big companies in the future." Zhong Zhiling said his thoughts, "There are only a few cities suitable for Internet companies. Beijing has Baidu, Lin'an has Alibaba, Pengcheng has Penguin, Yangcheng has NetEase, and Jinling, we haven't been there before. The feeling here in Shanghai is pretty good."

Yu Xing praised: "Zhi Ling, what you are thinking now is very good. We must believe in the law, but we must also create conditions to protect ourselves. Brother Feng, do you have any constructive suggestions?"

Song Yufeng suddenly saw the boss turning his head to ask him, and he said "hmm" vigorously.

"If you don't have any ideas, there's no need to speak so loudly." Yu Xing said.

Song Yufeng shrank back silently. He didn't know what was going on. His mind went blank when he heard them talking about this.

He took a deep breath and decided to stick to the two values!

Otherwise, the company is generally okay, but if it gets better and better, my own space will be greatly squeezed.

Song Yufeng continued to listen to the two's conversation and quickly discovered that the company's positions were also arranged more quickly... Lv Haiying was the president, Zhong Zhiling was the chief operating officer, and the CEO who was not mentioned must be Mr. Yu...

What about yourself?

"Brother Feng, the company needs a board of directors, and you will be the chairman of the company." Yu Xing did not forget the hard bones and arranged, "Bai Xiaosheng will definitely actively contact investment institutions, so you should pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

Song Yufeng was flattered. Chairman... it was so impressive...

Although the company has A/B shares, the voting rights are in the hands of Mr. Yu and his juniors, so this is most likely a mascot...

But, it's still very impressive!

A mascot, at the very least, is auspicious!
Song Yufeng did not hesitate this time, and took on the responsibility of chairman as a legal representative!
Yu Xing and Zhong Zhiling chatted for a long time about companies, websites, domain names, recruitment...

All of these need to be launched within three months. In addition, the operation of the website is also a new thing. What he can provide now is the first shot and some gameplay. The new project still needs everyone to explore together.

However, just like the vertical segment that Guiai.com entered, the same is true for Baixiaosheng. What it needs to do is compete with itself rather than with existing rivals.

From this perspective, Yu Xing is quite confident about the development of the new project. The idea and review that comes from this is that vertical segmentation is indeed a very effective magic weapon in the current era.

In the evening, the three of them had dinner together before going their separate ways.

When Song Yufeng got home, he thought about the current situation for a while and weighed the pros and cons. He took out his mobile phone and called his ex-girlfriend Yin Baoyi. On the one hand, he wanted to express that his previous equity had paid off, and on the other hand, he scolded her as soon as she showed signs of dissatisfaction.

Yin Baoyi was stunned by the scolding. When she heard that there was even a legal warning at the end, she felt incredible and said with grievance: "You, you have changed!!"

Song Yufeng suppressed his complicated emotions and said coldly, "You're on your own!"

The phone is on the table.

Song Yufeng sighed deeply, hoping that his ex-girlfriend would not do anything stupid. President Yu really didn't seem like the kind of person who would just say something casually...

A few seconds later, the phone vibrated.

Song Yufeng thought it was his ex-girlfriend calling back, but when he looked over he saw it was Kong Huilin, with whom he was in an ambiguous relationship. He quickly put aside the complicated feelings in his heart and quickly switched to a gentle and lingering tone.

"I've been very busy these past two days. The company is about to be established. I just returned to Shanghai in the evening. I just held a board meeting. Everyone enthusiastically nominated me to be the chairman."

"I really didn't want to be one, but Mr. Yu Xing talked to me for a long time and persuaded me again and again, and I reluctantly agreed."

"Hey, this trip to Jinling to attend the Internet industry conference really benefited me a lot."

Song Yufeng slightly embellished some things.

Kong Huilin was also very happy for Feng Ge after hearing this. She smiled and said, "Is this company going to bring in college students like Yu Xing and Zhong Zhiling to work together? Do they have experience in the Internet field?"

"It takes capital to start a company." Song Yufeng explained this first, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Yu Xing, his ability... is not bad."

He wanted to add, "It just needs more sharpening," but in the end he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.

Kong Huilin congratulated and said, "Then I wish Chairman Song all the best in his career!"

A long phone call started again at night.

……

The formal procedures for the sale of Guiai.com went as planned without any problems.

The only flaw was that Wei Jialan asked a question after reviewing the data and financial situation of the five cities.

"The reimbursement in the Beijing market is much higher than that in the other four cities," Wei Jialan asked in a rather tactful manner.

"It seems so. Qiu Shixiu and Yan Qiuzhen are in charge of Beijing." Yu Xing explained, "It may be that the operating and living costs there are higher."

Wei Jialan took out several obviously unreasonable expense invoices and said, "These are not right. There may be some problems in this regard."

Yu Xing frowned and said, "What should we do? It's because we are developing too fast and our management level is not good enough."

Wei Jialan thought about it and decided that college students were easier to scare. In addition, although she did not plan to change the current team setup of Guiai.com, if there were any problems, she could just wait and pull them out and use both kindness and force to deal with them.

She smiled and said, "This has no impact on our cooperation. We'll talk about it later."

Yu Xing had no objection.

In addition to mentioning the minor issues in the Beijing market, Wei Jialan also had something to ask: "Mr. Yu, I see that your social customers in August made a revenue of nearly 48. As we talked about before, there are obvious differences between society and campus. Do you have any special methods or experiences when expanding?"

Yu Xing gave a very serious and concise answer to this question: "Mr. Wei, treat others with sincerity!"

Wei Jialan waited for further information.

For a long while, there was no movement.

She asked in surprise, "No more?"

Yu Xing said "hmm" and asked, "What else do you want?"

Wei Jialan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's impossible that your team members go to the commercial plaza to set up a stall and then get orders, right? How do you show your sincerity?"

"How do I show it?" Yu Xing hesitated. "Do I have to show it? Uh, Mr. Wei, if you insist, it's like the time you came to see me and put some cash on my desk. That was very sincere. How did you think of showing it like that?"

Wei Jialan opened her mouth and thought for a few seconds before she smiled and said, "Boss Yu, we still need to summarize the successful experience of Guiai.com."

Yu Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I was planning to summarize it, but I was moved by your sincerity before I even started. However, whether it is campus or society, since there are orders and rapid development, there is an objective demand. We just need to think carefully and summarize it."

Wei Jialan agrees with this point, believing that the reality before us is the most objective.

Yu Xing watched Wei Jialan flipping through the order contract and didn't raise any objections, and he felt a little relieved.

The expansion from campus to society is a relatively important part, and Guiai.com has completed the related work very carefully. Many of the orders finally presented to buyers are signed by former employees.

At the same time, not all cities have good development performance, and the orders in the five cities are mixed.

Review, review, review, sign, sign, sign…

As the company's founding team, Yu Xing, Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying have all signed non-compete agreements. At the same time, Zhenai.com really only values ​​Yu Xing, and the second and third in command do not have to go to Pengcheng to take up their posts.

Zhenai.com tried to complete all the acquisitions before the National Day holiday, but this year's National Day holiday was from September 9 to October 29, so the final agreed one-time payment was placed on October 10, which was also the first day of Yu Xing's three-month work.

"Boss Yu, no, I should call you now..." Wei Jialan said goodbye to Yu Xing before flying back to Pengcheng on the 28th. "Boss Yu, let's meet in Pengcheng on the 6th. There are staff dormitories there. You can rent one yourself during the holidays, or let the company do it for you. It's all fine."

Yu Xing shook hands with the vice president and said with a smile, "It sounds weird. I just graduated from school. Even though it's not been long, I'm used to people calling me 'President Yu'."

Wei Jialan smiled and said, "You can also be promoted to CEO Yu at Zhenai.com."

Yu Xing had completely understood what this person meant in the past few days. He nodded with a smile, ending the final communication before joining the company.

Song Yufeng heard the conversation between his boss and Wei Jialan, and couldn't help but say, "This CEO Wei is quite sincere."

"If she is sincere, she should have said everything up front," Yu Xing said casually, "instead of agreeing to my terms and taking Guiai.com first, and now asking me to stay at Zhenai.com bit by bit."

When Song Yufeng heard this, he felt that what his boss said made sense.

He immediately asked for advice: "Mr. Yu, I found that there is something wrong with me. I always believe whatever others say. Tell me, I will be in contact with investors in the future. How can I change this?"

Song Yufeng was afraid that his boss would not teach him real things, so he specifically stated that it was for work.

"Brother Feng, it's like this. I think if we lower our expectations of others, we can manage our own thoughts well." Yu Xing glanced at Song Yufeng, who was full of curiosity, and gave an example, "For example, if I let you take the shares, is it for nothing? Is it just for your 12?"

Song Yufeng: "Uh..."

There's no need to be so blunt.

Yu Xing continued, "Take Zhenai.com for example. They were willing to buy Guiai.com in the end. Was it because they felt sorry for me? Was it because they thought I was a college student? Was it because they wanted to encourage my first business venture?"

"Of course not. Zhenai.com's acquisition decision was based on its own interests."

"Similarly, what does Wei Jialan want to do by being so friendly? Is it because she is kind?"

"Maybe she is kind in her personal life, but she only interacted with me during work hours, so it was probably to complete her work. Whether it was a new business to be merged into the company or a potential college student like me, since she was the one promoting and contacting it, the future may affect her position in the company."

"I think it's not difficult to lower your expectations of others."

Yu Xing has sufficient psychological preparation in this regard, because...

If you suffer too many losses, you will have to lower your expectations.

Let’s just go by the minimum expectations. If even the minimum expectations are broken, then we’ll talk about it later.

"Mr. Yu, Brother Xing, listening to your words is worth ten years of study." Song Yufeng said half-truthfully.

Yu Xing nodded: "Well, lower your expectations. I think you are sincere about 1% of what you said."

Song Yufeng protested: "Brother Xing, this is too little! I should get at least 70%!"

"One achievement is good, and anything more is a pleasant surprise." Yu Xing said with a smile, "You see, it's practical."

He walked towards the electric car and pointed to the back seat: "Let's go back and have dinner."

Song Yufeng sat in the back seat and pondered: "Brother Xing, I think it's not a good idea to always lower your expectations. Will it make people... well, how should I put it..."

"If you lower your expectations and treat others with sincerity, you may receive more unexpected surprises than you imagined, and your life will be happy." Yu Xing started the battery car, "Like this company, I thought it would be acceptable to sell it for 100 million. Now it can sell for 260 million. Although it is the result of my and everyone's efforts, it is still a pleasant surprise."

Song Yufeng shook his head and expressed his feelings: "It's too difficult to be honest with others."

"I was just chatting, you listen critically." Yu Xing said with a smile.

Song Yufeng pondered for a while and changed the subject: "Brother Xing, is it safe for you to go to Pengcheng alone this time? Otherwise, I will go with you."

"They are a legitimate company, what can they do to me?" Yu Xing shook his head. "But if there are more problems, I don't mind. Anyway, I don't have high expectations."

Song Yufeng slapped his thigh and lowered his expectations!
As for Mr. Yu's deep involvement in the tiger's den, an atypical college student like him probably needs to worry about his new employer in the next three months. When Song Yufeng thought about this, the slight worry in his heart completely dissipated, and he turned to think about his own value positioning.

Although the boss only wants me to be a mascot and a tough guy at critical moments, I still have to do more work at ordinary times, otherwise, I can be replaced at any time...

The electric bike slowly passed two traffic lights.

While waiting for the green light, Yu Xing was thinking about calling home in the evening to inform them of his next plans.

The trip to Pengcheng was carried out in accordance with the contract, but there was still a lot to do in these three months. It was a good opportunity to lay the foundation for Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Shanfeng, and at the same time remotely control the verification of the number of screens of Focus Media in different cities.

He now feels a little regretful that the three online dating brands have not yet been listed, otherwise, it would be considered a joint exercise between Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Shanfeng.

“Beep! Beep!!”

Suddenly, a car horn sounded behind the electric car.

Yu Xing looked back and saw that the electric bike was in the non-motorized vehicle lane, but the car behind it wanted to turn right from this lane, and the right-turn and straight-ahead lane on the left was occupied by the car going straight.

The car horn sounded very urgent and impatient.

Yu Xing silently moved the electric bike forward to make room.

The car drove by at a low speed, and the passenger in the front passenger seat said as he passed by: "Can't you see the car?"

Song Yufeng was sitting in the back seat, and when he heard this, his eyes sparkled. How to grasp the value positioning? You have to grasp it from such bits and pieces!

He shouted at the car in dissatisfaction: "You are the one who is blind! Do you know how to drive? What the hell!"

You have to actively maintain your boss's emotional value, even if he may not care much!

Song Yufeng was full of vigor and confidence, and his demeanor could not be concealed even when he was sitting in the back seat of an electric bike.

The black car stopped, and the yellow-haired passenger door pushed open and ran straight to the electric bike, followed by two men getting out from the back seat.

Song Yufeng's scalp tingled. He didn't expect that maintaining emotional value was not as simple as he imagined.

"Hey, hey, you, how do you talk like that? Come here!" The yellow-haired man pointed at Song Yufeng fiercely.

Song Yufeng's bones swayed between soft and hard for a moment.

"The traffic police is coming." Yu Xing reminded the other party calmly, and then smiled, "He is a college student, just graduated."

Huangmao looked back and saw that the traffic policeman on the other side was indeed coming over, so he had to go back into the car cursing.

Song Yufeng finally mustered up his courage at this time, remembering his identity that could scare people, and said in a neither loud nor low voice: "I'm a reporter!"

"You shouted just now, what else did you say after people got on the car?" Yu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Song Yufeng was just about to mutter something when he saw the black car step on the accelerator and speed up greatly, just in time to rear-end the Mercedes that turned around and accelerated at the intersection.

The green light comes on.

Yu Xing drove Song Yufeng forward, then turned his head to look at the excitement of the accident and said with a smile: "That's good, a pleasant surprise."

Song Yufeng failed to fully grasp the value positioning, feeling a little depressed and thoughtful: "It is indeed a pleasant surprise, but it is a bit painful to lower expectations."

"What's so uncomfortable about that? I'm afraid that Huangmao will pull out a knife from his waist." Yu Xing said with a smile, "If that happens, I can only run faster than you."

Song Yufeng seemed to have realized that if he lowered his expectations of President Yu and regarded him as a heartless and ungrateful person, he would not only not abandon him but also come to his rescue with words. This could be considered a pleasant surprise!

Hey, hey, hey...something's not right!

As Song Yufeng was thinking, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

First lower your expectations of Mr. Yu. He may have bad intentions in teaching you something!
Then think about what effect learning this will have. If I can get in, then I don’t have to have too many expectations of Mr. Yu!
First lower your expectations, and then... I don’t know when the pleasant surprise will come!

Song Yufeng faced the evening breeze and gave his thoughts seriously: "Brother Xing, you can't lower your expectations! I think this is wrong! I can never lower my expectations of you! I think you will be the most influential person in the entire business world!"

Yu Xing laughed: "I am nothing, I ride an electric scooter."

"Thirty years have passed! Brother Xing, if you can sell this company, you will definitely be a big shot in the future!" Song Yufeng was more sincere this time.

Yu Xing still smiled: "Don't underestimate those influential figures."

Then he added: "Well, I may not be able to be a celebrity, but I can definitely stir up those celebrities."

Song Yufeng's mind unconsciously emerged with what Mr. Yu had taught him before. This was... lowering expectations again!
It’s bad, I’m cursed!

……

It is a bit disappointing that the money from Zhenai.com will not be credited to my account until after the holiday.

Yu Xing did not plan to go home during this holiday, but he called home to inform everyone of his whereabouts.

He didn't expect that when he made these calls, almost everyone noticed that his speech was reported by the media.

"You are so good now, you can even talk to Ma Dian!" It is hard for father Yu Guosheng not to be proud.

"What's the point of having a conversation? I can stab him later." Yu Xing replied jokingly.

It was hard for Yu Guosheng not to praise: "That's even more amazing!"

"Smoke less, and call me if you need money. Don't be polite to me." Yu Xing did not forget to remind him again.

Yu Guosheng hesitated for three seconds: "Well, you should smoke less. If you need money, call me and don't be polite to me..."

Yu Xing ended the call with his father with a smile.

When I talked to my uncle, there was one more thing.

"Xingxing, Xiaoguang will be able to get his driver's license next month. Do you think he should go to Pengcheng?" Uncle Chu Jinxiang did not forget his son's arrangements.

"Pretty fast, huh?" Yu Xing thought about it and came up with an idea. "Well, uncle, ask Xiao Guang to get a Japanese visa, and ask him to go with the grape I told you about last time."

Chu Jinxiang was surprised: "Him? He has never been abroad, and he doesn't speak Japanese or English!"

"I will first find someone in China who can do this, and let Xiaoguang go along. If he can't do it, then he doesn't do it. Can it be called experience if he doesn't do anything?" Yu Xing was quite determined.

Chu Jinxiang felt that his nephew's words made sense, so the matter was settled.

Everyone at home has called. The past half month has not been peaceful. My aunt has quarreled with everyone twice, but at least it didn't get to the elderly, and the situation is under control.

Yu Xing bought a flight ticket to Pengcheng on the 4th, and spoke to the marketing managers one by one to inform them of the current situation and their salary arrangements.

What I can guarantee is that Zhenai.com has promised to keep my treatment unchanged.

In the future, if Zhenai.com pays real money, then of course they will have the final say.

The company was sold and the contract was signed. Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying were relieved of their burden and took advantage of the holiday to go home and visit their parents.

Yu Xing was not idle at all. On the last day of September, he found a college student who was about to resign from Guiai.com and promised him 5000 yuan to ask him to count the Focus Media screens in Shanghai in October.

"Mr. Yu, why are you counting this?" The college student was a little confused.

"In preparation for the next advertising, count clearly so that it will be easier for me to bargain later. Not only do you count, but you also have to arrange two other numbers. Your numbers cannot differ too much, otherwise don't blame me for deducting money." Yu Xing explained.

The college students silently accepted the order, canceled their National Day holiday plans, and planned to complete the work seriously.

Moreover, he made a few calculations and then made a counter-invitation: "Mr. Yu, are you going to place advertisements in other cities? I can count the advertisements in Shanghai first and then continue."

Yu Xing gave him a disappointing answer: "For the time being, I'm in Shencheng. I'll find you if there's work."

Focus Media's screens are concentrated in commercial buildings and apartments, which are relatively concentrated and easy to count environments.

Everything is arranged, and I am just waiting to start my working life.

On the 3rd, Yu Xing arrived in Pengcheng and moved into the staff dormitory.

During the remaining two days of the National Day holiday, he took a brief tour of Shenzhen, found a college student to do a part-time counting job, and then went to bed early on the evening of the 5th, ready to start his slacking off.

On October 10, Yu Xing arrived at the Zhenai.com headquarters in high spirits. As soon as he entered the door, he was welcomed by the senior management headed by Wei Jialan.

Wei Jialan announced Yu Xing's position as business director and spoke highly of his abilities to his colleagues.

"Director Yu, your office hasn't been cleaned up yet, so you can stay here first and move to this independent office tomorrow." Wei Jialan apologized a little, "The money paid this morning will be deposited into your Xiangjiang Company's account."

"No problem, I can do anything." Yu Xing smiled throughout the whole process.

Wei Jialan nodded: "Okay, then I wish you a more valuable career at Zhenai.com. I'll go down to meet the client later, and we can talk about how Zhenai.com can do the dating contract business tomorrow."

Yu Xing said tactfully: "Boss Wei, I won't talk about it anymore. My job..."

Wei Jialan was stunned. She didn't expect that this guy would be like this on his first day.

She smiled lightly: "Director Yu, then you should get familiar with the company environment."

Wei Jialan shook hands and left the company, but before leaving she gave some small instructions to another director, Zou Jiafen.

Yu Xing sat at his workstation with a keyboard and screen in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

My working life started unexpectedly.

He was in a daze for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled at his colleagues who were looking at him curiously, took out his cell phone, and sent a text message to Liu Wanying who had returned to Hong Kong: I am at the Zhenai.com company, and it feels so weird.

Liu Wanying replied: Come experience the life of us workers, Boss Yu, I have to go to a meeting.

Yu Xing knew what to do and stopped disturbing him.

He thought about it over and over again, and took a pen and wrote on paper to figure out how Bai Xiaosheng's users would play.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the money from Zhenai.com was officially transferred to the account of Guiai.com's Xiangjiang company, which meant that the acquisition of the two companies was completely completed.

Yu Xing became a real worker.

An hour later, Business Director Zou Jiafen came with a folder to inform the new director.

"Mr. Yu, come over for a meeting." Zou Jiafen put the folder on her workstation.

Yu Xing smiled at her, glanced at his work badge, and politely declined, "Boss Zou, Boss Li and I have already agreed not to participate in the work. You guys go to the meeting, I won't go."

Zou Jiafen widened her eyes, glanced at her watch, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Mr. Yu, it's just a short meeting, fifteen minutes."

Yu Xing remained polite and gave his full name this time: "No, I have already discussed this with Mr. Li Song and will not be involved in the work."

Zou Jiafen couldn't help but say, "Boss Yu, you have to respect your work and your colleagues. At the very least, the company pays you a salary, so you have to respect your salary."

"I'm not disrespecting my colleagues." Yu Xing spread his hands. "I'm just sitting here quietly, not disturbing anyone. Besides, what do you think Zhenai.com pays me for?"

Zou Jiafen frowned deeply: "What are you doing?"

Yu Xing raised his voice slightly and pointed out the essence of the matter: "The company pays me to buy my time, so that I don't have to work!"

He emphasized: "No work, no work, do you understand?"

Yu Xing was afraid that she didn't understand, so he looked at his badge again and asked, "Director Zou Jiafen, do you understand?"

Neither working for competitors nor forming a team to compete, this is how Yu Xing understands Zhenai.com's three-month salary.

Zou Jiafen felt the situation was very difficult and speechless for a moment. She glared at the young man in front of her, then turned away feeling unhappy.

Yu Xing sighed and smiled at his shocked colleague next to him.

My working life began, and it seemed to end just as suddenly.
