Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 322 The Coming of an Era
"Guawazi, what are your plans for the New Year?" In the kitchen, Liu Feifei asked Ma Liang, who was helping her, while cooking a feast.

Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, although there is no need to worry about the Spring Festival travel now, the witch still wants to return home with her sweetheart.

After thinking for a while, Ma Liang replied resentfully: "I may not go back during Chinese New Year."

"What? If you don't go back for Chinese New Year, then why are you staying?" Liu Feifei was very unhappy after hearing this.

Ma Liang had no choice but to fool around again: "The Malatang business is at the most critical time, and there will be a tough battle to be fought after the year, so there is really no way to go back."

The real situation is not what he said, but he wants to go to the United States during the Chinese New Year.

Miss Jiang University has been away for half a year, and Ma Liang wants to take advantage of the holiday to visit her, otherwise his boyfriend is too incompetent.

"Is it that busy? Isn't the snack bar closed for Chinese New Year?" Liu Feifei asked suspiciously.

Ma Liang pretended to be serious and explained: "Why are you not busy, not all stores are closed.

Besides, a small peak of franchise store openings will be ushered in after the year, and the supporting logistics system of the food supply chain in Shandong and Hebei provinces must be improved in advance.

Maybe I won't be able to stay in the East China Sea during Chinese New Year, maybe I have to go to the three eastern provinces for a business trip. "

Ma Liang took the opportunity to vaccinate the witch at this moment. In case the witch returned to the magic city ahead of time in a year, he would have a reasonable excuse if she saw that she was not there.

"Okay, then I can only go back alone." Liu Feifei replied very disappointed.

If she didn't want to go back to see grandma, she wouldn't want to be separated from Ma Liang no matter what.

After Ma Liang's flickering, this topic finally passed.He didn't dare to let Liu Feifei know that he was going to the United States to see Miss Jiang University.

Otherwise, the witch will cry to death.

Dregs return to scum, heartache is really heartache.

……

After only waiting for two days, senior sister Li Hui contacted Liu Feifei again and made an appointment with her mentor.

So, Ma Liang drove the demon girl to East China University of Science and Technology.

This time, they didn't talk at the restaurant, but went directly to Li Hui's tutor's office.

When they arrived, Li Hui had already been waiting downstairs, and warmly greeted them before getting out of the car: "Feifei, Ma Liang, you are here."

"Sister Hui'er, let's go up quickly, don't make Professor Shang wait too long." Liu Feifei responded politely.

As he spoke, he took Li Hui's arm and walked upstairs first.

Going straight up to the third floor, and entering the office of tutor Li Hui, I saw a young looking female teacher with glasses and her hair tied up.

No need to ask, this should be Professor Shang Yazhuo.

Being able to be rated as an associate professor at such a young age, he must be superior in scientific research.

"Student Ma Liang, classmate Feifei, welcome!" Shang Yazhuo hurriedly got up and greeted them when he saw them coming.

Ma Liang also responded politely: "Professor Shang, I kept you waiting."

"Please sit down, Li Hui, hurry up and make two cups of tea." Shang Yazhuo warmly exchanged greetings, and at the same time ordered his students to entertain them.

Liu Feifei immediately stopped her and said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just boiled water will do."

But Li Hui didn't care about it, and made two cups of tea and brought them in front of them.

"Li Hui roughly told me about the situation, and I sincerely welcome the two of you who want to cooperate with our school in industry, education and research.

But you also know that Huali is still very strict in this regard.

It's not that I doubt the sincerity of the two, the key is that the school needs to review, and the threshold for cooperation with start-up companies will definitely be higher than that of mature companies.

I wonder if the two of you have something to prove the strength of the company? "Shang Yazhuo said tactfully.

After all, she is a teacher, and her age is also here, so she naturally thinks more about it. She is very worried that Ma Liang and Liu Feifei are too young to handle things reliably.

In case it is the second generation of a company, starting a business is a three-day enthusiasm, and it is embarrassing to stop playing suddenly after playing.

Once the industry-university-research cooperation was reported to the school and then nothing happened, then she, Professor Shang, would be ashamed.

Liu Feifei was caught in a tangle, she had nothing to prove her strength.

The only thing that can be obtained is the identity of an Internet celebrity blogger, but these are nothing to a top university like East China University of Science and Technology.

The witch can only look at Ma Liang pitifully, and pin her hopes on him.

Ma Liang smiled and replied calmly: "I don't know what proof is needed? The registered capital of the enterprise, or the personal asset certificate?

Professor Shang, although Feifei has just started a business in beauty products, her strength is absolutely beyond doubt.

She is both my partner and one of the shareholders of my company, so she will definitely not have any problems in terms of funds.

As for my company, although it belongs to the catering industry, if Professor Shang has visited the mall occasionally, he should have seen the brand I make.

[Red Lips Chuan Chuan Xiang] and [Liu Po ​​Mala Tang] are both businesses under our company. "

Ma Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with this Professor Shang, after all, he was out of prudence.

This also shows from another aspect how difficult it is for startups to do something.

If you are not strong enough, even if you take the initiative to find a university and want to cooperate, you may be turned away.

Weakness is the original sin, there is no reason to speak.

"What? [Red Lips String Incense] was opened by you?" Shang Yazhuo shouted with surprise at this moment.

Because when she went to the mall with her family on weekends, she took her children to eat at this store.

Ma Liang nodded and replied with a smile: "That's right, it's easy to find out about this in the industry and commerce department, I dare not lie.

Whether it is [Red Lips Chuan Chuan Xiang] or [Liu Po ​​Mala Tang], the assets and revenue of these two companies have already exceeded [-] million, so Professor Shang does not have to worry about our funds.

Feifei is also one of the shareholders of the two companies, and has enough strength to create a new beauty brand. "

As Ma Liang explained, he winked at the witch as if asking for credit.Shang Yazhuo noticed all his flirtatious behavior.

Thinking of the student Li Hui showing her the background of Liu Feifei's Internet celebrity blogger, she suddenly became more confident.

If you have money, strength, and fame, and the key person is extremely beautiful, and there is a boyfriend who can be called the financial backer, then the probability of success in starting a business will naturally be much higher.

Shang Yazhuo was inexplicably looking forward to Liu Feifei's mask business, maybe this girl really succeeded in doing it.

After all, the combination of these advantages and conditions is not comparable to ordinary beauty startups.

"Great, there must be no problem with the school." Shang Yazhuo responded excitedly.

With the support of industry-university-research cooperation projects, she will be more confident in teaching at Huali Ping.

Ever since, the two sides exchanged a lot of opinions on the project cooperation, and determined the initial intention in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After talking about the matter, Ma Liang originally wanted to invite Professor Shang to have a meal, but unfortunately the other party declined.

It's not that they don't give face, but they have to teach the students later, so the two parties simply agreed to have a meal together to celebrate on the day the industry-university-research cooperation was signed.

After bidding farewell to Shang Yazhuo and Li Hui, Ma Liang took Liu Feifei back to the University City.

The industry-university-research cooperation is basically finalized, roughly as he predicted before.It's just that in terms of capital investment, it may still exceed the budget a little bit.

But things have come to this point, and it is impossible to give up.

So Liu Feifei finally had to accept Ma Liang's proposal and get more dividends from the company, otherwise her money would not be enough for this business.

"Gua Wazi, when the time comes to register the company, add your name in the column of shareholders.

I'm not as stingy as you, half of the shares in the beauty company will be given to you. Sitting in the car, Liu Feifei said proudly.

Ma Liang immediately shook his head and refused: "No need, you can keep it for yourself."

He also felt that he owed the demon girl, how could he want her shares at this moment.

Besides, now that the business has reached this level, Ma Liang has already passed the stage of primitive capital accumulation.

It is not arrogant at all to say "money is just a number to me" nowadays.

Because it is only a matter of time before he accumulates a larger net worth. He has enough opportunities and capital to earn a huge amount of wealth, so he doesn't care about the little bit of shares in the demon girl at all.

"I don't care if you want it or not, I'll keep the shares anyway." Liu Feifei immediately turned her head angrily.

The demon girl also blamed Ma Liang for cheating on herself. When talking about dividends before, she said that there was no division between them, but in the end, she didn't want to give him shares, which really made her very angry.

Back home, Liu Feifei started to work again, preparing to cook a big meal to celebrate.

The research and development of mask products finally took shape, and she couldn't say how happy she was.Although I know in my heart that doing business is not easy, I don't know what will happen in the future.

But the most difficult time has passed, and with the blessing of being an online celebrity blogger, she is confident that she can sell mask products well.

Liu Feifei prepared the ingredients unhurriedly, humming a song unconsciously in joy.

Ma Liang wanted to go to the kitchen to fight, but was kicked out by the witch who was still angry.It is said that there is enough time and there is no need for the help of his big boss.

In desperation, Ma Liang had no choice but to turn on the TV and watch the news program.

While watching, a piece of technological information suddenly caught his attention, and what appeared on the screen was the video screen of Apple's new product launch conference at the beginning of the year.

January 2007, 1, San Francisco, USA, Mascony Convention Center.

Just at Apple's Macworld conference, Mr. Qiao released a product that shocked the world - the original iPhone.

The first generation of iPhone, known as iPhone 2G, also known as iPhone 1st Gen.

This epoch-making product has completely subverted the world's perception of mobile phones.

Capacitive screen and multi-touch technology, it makes people realize that the original mobile phone can not have a physical keyboard, the original thick fingers can also accurately operate the mobile phone screen, and can use two fingers to zoom in and out of photos, which surprised many users.

Before the advent of the iPhone, the smartphone was still a bulky mobile device in the popular concept.

Usually half of the front of the fuselage is the keyboard, and the other half is the display.

And on existing smartphones, including BlackBerry, the full version of the website cannot run, so many companies have to launch a simplified version of the mobile website.

The emergence of the iPhone has changed all this and opened a new era of smartphones.

Ma Liang knows that when the iPhone is officially launched half a year later, there will be a frenzy of panic buying immediately, and some media even call the iPhone "God's mobile phone".

Time magazine also directly selected the iPhone as the "Invention of the Year 2007".

When he saw the news on TV, Ma Liang was heartbroken. He was extremely excited at the moment, a new era had come.

We must know that the iPhone not only brings about innovations in mobile phone equipment, but even brings about a revolution in technology.

Smart phones, chip manufacturing, mobile Internet, mobile multimedia, big data, etc.

Countless industries, countless industries have ushered in a new era because of the birth of the iPhone.

We must know that the global economy has developed to this day, and it has basically reached the end of a cycle.

When the global super economic crisis occurred in 2008, the world economic system might have returned to the pre-liberation overnight.

It is the technological revolution brought about by the iPhone that has continued the life of the global economy for more than ten years.

Not only life extension, but even the whole world has once again entered a new golden period of development, making the people around the world who were supposed to be indifferent have more than ten years of life and death.

It is precisely because of such great contributions that Gangzhu Qiao is respected by the world as the greatest entrepreneur in history, not even one of them.

Even though the first-generation iPhone won't be launched until half a year later, and even though the first-generation iPhone is still not a perfect product, Ma Liang knows that there is not much time left for him.

If he misses this wave of turmoil, he will never be able to cross the class, and he will not be able to break the fate of "you are born with it, don't force it if you don't have it".

Because relying on traditional business alone, the accumulation of wealth is too slow, and there are still many restrictions in the country.

He must break out of China and go to the world in order to truly realize his aspirations.

Ma Liang stared blankly at the TV, although he heard the host reading the news in his ears, his mind was already wandering away.

While thinking about what opportunities to pick up the leaks are waiting for him, he is also thinking about how to slowly free up the funds.

After all, if you want to invest abroad, it is easier and more rude to come in US dollars.

Fortunately, a lot of preparations have been made for investing in Master Xing's movies before, and the next thing is to follow the steps and get out the idle working capital little by little.

Thinking of this, Ma Liang looked forward to the upcoming trip to the United States even more.

This time, we can't just go to see Miss Jiang University, but also have to search to see if there is a chance to make a mistake first.

After all, although he has passed the stage of initial capital accumulation, the funds in hand are far from enough. Compared with those investment banks and big-name VCs, he is simply weak.

If you want to rely on investment to turn around, you have to rely on cheating and picking up leaks.
