Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

After hiding his embarrassment with a smile, Cao Zhiqiang quickly changed his rhetoric.

I don’t believe it, it’s so difficult to spend money on you.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said to Xu Jingping: "Comrade Xu Jingping, how old are you this year?"

Xu Jingping was stunned, frowned and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and said: "Well, let me put it another way, do you know how old I am this year?"

Xu Jingli next to her was about to speak when Cao Zhiqiang suddenly pointed at her domineeringly: "Don't say anything, let her say it!"

Xu Jingli closed her mouth and looked at her sister quietly.

Xu Jingping frowned: "Well, I really don't know. Are you probably twenty-four or five?"

Cao Zhiqiang waved his fingers and shook his head: "No, I am only nineteen years old this year, and it will take a few more days before I turn twenty."

"Ah?" Xu Jingping opened her mouth in surprise, "So, you are younger than me?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Yes, in terms of age, that's true.

However, let me ask you again, do you know my current private wealth, I mean the amount of money that I can use at will, do you know how much it is? "

Xu Jingping shook his head: "How did I know this?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and stretched out two fingers: "Then I can tell you now, it is this number!"

Xu Jingping opened his mouth wide: "Two hundred thousand? That much?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "No, guess again!"

"It can't be two million, right?" Xu Jingping's eyes widened.

"Guess again!" Cao Zhiqiang continued to shake his head.

"Two, twenty million?" Xu Jingping took a breath.

Cao Zhiqiang then nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's 20 million, all in cash! And I earned it in less than a year!"

Well, Cao Zhiqiang’s 20 million refers to his legal income on the surface, which mainly includes his income from selling books and records in China, plus his share of movie box office, record share, and commission from selling books while he was in Japan. wait.

The total sum of these things can barely reach 20 million RMB.

Of this, more than two-thirds were earned while he was in Japan, and less than one-third was earned at home.

Of course, this is only what he can say on the surface.

In fact, the funds that Cao Zhiqiang can personally use are far more than this.

It's just that the money is not suitable for showing off casually, it is only suitable for spending secretly.

For example, when he bought a building in Japan in the name of Akina Nakamori, he used secret funds instead of open funds.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang currently has three wallets.

A wallet is his official income, that is, the two million, which is serious money that can be told to anyone and can be seen in the light.

One wallet is the account he uses to swipe his love fund. For example, he uses this money to buy a building in Japan or to buy Zhulin in Hong Kong.

The last wallet is his secret account related to the country's secret shopping funds. In fact, this account is not strictly his personal, but belongs to the "Mist Organization". In name, he only temporarily manages this account.

Of course, it is said that there are three wallets. In fact, these three wallets are his own and are completely under his control.

The reason why there are three separate wallets is just to differentiate and remind him which money can be spent casually, which money should be spent carefully, and which money should be spent as little as possible.

However, even if it was his apparent real money, that is, the 1984 million, in this year of , it was enough to scare people to death.

Because this is his personal property, not company property, which is completely different.

At the same time, theoretically speaking, he also has a fourth wallet, which is the money from Hongguang Machinery Factory.

In fact, Hongguang Machinery Factory is still nominally owned by Director Li, but if Cao Zhiqiang wants to use the factory's money, it is only a matter of words.

Because Director Li had already signed a letter with the company's finance department, Cao Zhiqiang could use the factory's funds at any time if he wanted to, and his authority was no lower than Director Li's.

It’s just that Cao Zhiqiang has never used public funds from the factory.

It’s not that Cao Zhiqiang can’t use it, but it’s not necessary.

To be honest, Hongguang Machinery Factory currently does not have much money, and it will only last for ten to ten thousand yuan.

And it’s troublesome to use the money, so it’s better not to use it.

In short, in China at this time, there may be people with tens of millions of dollars in their hands, but without exception, these people are not personal property.

Those whose personal wealth exceeds one million are very rare at this time.

There may be some individuals whose personal property can exceed tens of millions, but more likely it will be some fixed assets or special inheritance.

Like Cao Zhiqiang, he is probably the only person in the entire inland region who has 20 million in cash.

Of course, since Xu Jingping is still a college student and is not sensitive to money figures, although he feels that 20 million is a lot, he is actually not too shocked.

But Xu Huizhen is different.

As a strong woman who has been doing business for a long time, she knows money very well.

Especially the word cash, she understands it thoroughly.

You know, having 20 million in assets and having 20 million in cash are two completely different concepts.

Many people may have 20 million in assets, but most of them are real estate, antiques and the like. They may seem rich, but it is much more difficult to actually realize them.

For example, Mr. Niu may be said to be rich, but the main reason is that he has his own big courtyard house. The actual cash he has actually put into use may not be as much as Xu Huizhen's.

Firstly, Xu Huizhen inherited the inheritance from her former father-in-law, and secondly, she accumulated the savings from the ups and downs of business over the past few decades. Until now, she barely had one million.

But Cao Zhiqiang was lucky. He was less than 20 years old and earned 20 million in cash in less than a year?

This discovery made Xu Huizhen feel bad all over. She suddenly felt that something was wrong with the whole world.

What? Is this bragging?

Even if he was bragging, he still had a small amount of two million, otherwise he would not dare to say that he opened a foreign-related hotel.

As if he found that he had shocked everyone with the small numbers, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately sighed slightly: "Comrade Xu Jingping, I am telling you the actual amount of money I made. I don't mean to show off to you. It doesn't mean anything to me. significance.

The reason why I want to say it in front of you today is to tell you that times have changed! "

After smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang simply pointed at Xu Huizhen, who looked ugly: "Just like this Ms. Xu Huizhen, I heard that she started running a tavern very early and worked hard for decades, and only now has she accumulated one million.

Of course, this number is actually very powerful. If it were told, it would scare many people to death.

After all, in this era when the average monthly income of workers is only fifty yuan, if you can have a household with ten thousand yuan, you can be called a ten thousand yuan household, and you will be envied by others.

It’s really not easy for your mother to earn a million quietly.

But you see, it only took me less than a year to easily earn 20 million, which is twenty times that of your mother!

This is just the beginning.

After all, the first pot of gold is the hardest.

Once you have accumulated money, it will be much easier to earn 20 million from 10 million.

What's more, I am different now than I was back then. I own several companies, and they are all profitable companies.

To put it bluntly, even if I don’t do anything now, retire directly, and eat and drink well every day, I won’t be able to spend all the money in this life. However, people can't just eat and drink, they must also have higher pursuits and ideals.

Maybe my words are a bit profound and ungrounded to other people.

But I think, Comrade Xu Jingping, you should understand.

After all, you are also a person who loves the beauty of literature.

I have always believed that a person who can truly love literature and understand other people's hearts through their words is often a person who has escaped from vulgar taste.

Such people should be unwilling to be ordinary and should be eager to prove themselves. "

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Xu Jingping again: "Xu Jingping, I am a high school dropout, and in less than a year, I was able to start from scratch and earn 20 million.

You, a top student in college, are you so unsure of yourself? "

"But I, I..." Xu Jingping bit her lip, "But what I learned has nothing to do with running a hotel?

And I know what you mean.

Once I agree, or I say I can do it, you will definitely say next, really invest in a hotel for me.

But I am self-aware.

I have never learned business management before. If I mess up and lose money, then..."

"Then it will be used as tuition!" Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "I didn't learn business management back then, didn't I do well?"

"You are different." Xu Jingping shook his head, "You are extremely talented, and your career is related to literature. Even if it is not related to literature, it is related to singing.

The money you make is all from selling books and records, and you are still doing what you are good at.

After all, your literary talent and your gifted voice are unmatched by others.

You are relying on God to provide you with food.

But running a hotel is different.

Management requires scientific management, and it is definitely not as simple as relying on talent.

Again, I have never done business before, let alone learned management. If you suddenly ask me to be a hotel manager, it will only mess things up. "

"That makes sense." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "But do you think I didn't think of what you said?"

"Now that you have thought of it, why do you still..."

"Because I want to try you!"

"Ah?" Xu Jingping didn't understand at all, "What? Try me? What are you trying me for?"

"Try to see if you are a diamond in the rough." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Try to see if my vision is wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand slightly to stop the other party from speaking, and continued: "What you said may make sense. My previous success is largely due to my personal talent. Most of the ways I make money are It’s really because I do what I’m good at.

But this alone is not enough.

As you have analyzed before, if I just rely on my talent to make a living, I will just earn some royalties and performance fees like other poets and singers. It is impossible to earn more than 20 million in less than a year.

Therefore, my real secret to making money is not my words and singing, but my business philosophy!

When others are still complacent about earning hundreds of dollars in royalties for writing an article.

I have begun to think about how to set up my own publishing house, or a publishing house where I have the final say, and then make the best use of my talents and take the power of distributing royalties into my own hands.

When others are still happy that a song has become popular and they are getting thousands of dollars in bonuses.

I have begun to think about how to set up my own record company, make the most of my advantages, and hold the distribution rights of record income in my hands to maximize profits.

So you see, the secret of how I really make money is that I have mastered the channels, and if I want to master the channels, I not only have to dare to think and do it, but I also have to have the methods and methods to achieve results.

How I did it is my private secret and I can’t tell you.

But I can find the characteristics of people like me in myself.

In other words, in my nearly one year of making money, I have discovered that the truly valuable thing is actually talent.

As long as you have the right talent, everything else is within your reach.

Talents often have a unique temperament.

Just like the Heshi Bi back then, only special people can discover the beautiful jade inside the stone.

I think you, Xu Jingping, are the kind of beautiful jade wrapped in stone.

Maybe even you yourself haven't realized how much energy you really have.

Therefore, I want to try my vision and choose to invest in you as a person instead of simply investing in a career. "

After another unpredictable smile, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "If I just make money, I have many choices.

At worst, I will make a few more blockbuster movies and make a few best-selling records. With my current fame, making money will be as easy as drinking water.

I'm not afraid to tell you that with my current fame, even if I write a song with only one word "ah" in the whole song, it will still be interpreted by people in all kinds of things that I can't think of, and it will still become a best-selling record.

However, people are not as good as a thousand days, and flowers are not as beautiful as a hundred days.

Just because I am talented now does not mean that I will be talented all my life. Maybe one day I will run out of talents.

In the same way, just because I am famous now does not mean that I will be like this for the rest of my life.

Talents come out from generation to generation, and there will always be new people to replace us old people.

Therefore, if I cannot take advantage of the present to turn my advantages into winning momentum and develop several industries that can truly last a lifetime, then I may be miserable in the future.

After all, after experiencing prosperity, no one wants to go back to the hard times.

The problem is that opportunities are everywhere now, but how to seize them depends on people.

The industry is not static, but excellent talents will continue to be outstanding.

Just like me, even in the most prosperous times now, I can still look at my strengths and weaknesses calmly and treat them as carefully as possible.

But I am only one person and my energy is limited, so I hope to find more like-minded people to make our business bigger and stronger together.

You are not the first person I selected or the first person I invested in.

Therefore, what you have to do is not to be afraid and anxious, but to let go of your hands and feet, open your mind, and move forward boldly with me.

With me supporting you, you don’t have to be afraid of failure or making mistakes.

As long as you really want to make a career, I am willing to give you this opportunity.

I believe that it won't take long for you to shine and become an outstanding talent.

I believe in my vision, and I hope you can believe in yourself.

If you don’t want to go to work step by step, get married step by step, have children step by step, be an ordinary housewife and gradually disappear from everyone after graduation, then just believe me and come with me.

I will bring out your true potential! I will turn your sparrow into a phoenix! I will let you see more beautiful scenery!

I hope that when you grow old, you will calmly say to yourself and your descendants that the greatest luck in your life is that you listened to me! "

At this point, Cao Zhiqiang gently stretched out his hand to Xu Jingping: "Whether you shrink back and choose to be an ordinary coward, or choose to follow me and risk everything, be a trend-setter of the era and be written in history, it depends on you. The choice is made!”
