Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 614 Wouldn't it be over if you killed him?

Facing Lu Yiming's question, Ji Qi was silent.

There is no doubt that he participated in the creation of Ctrip, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.However, as the founder, he was kicked out of Ctrip by other shareholders, and he was unwilling to do so. He wanted to stage the return of the king like Jobs.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "If Homeinns and Ctrip join forces, they will indeed be able to seal the victory immediately and become the absolute overlord of this emerging industry. On the contrary, they will continue to fight, and the outcome is still uncertain."

Lu Yiming didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, he laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much about the interests of me as an investor. If you want to fight, then I will fully support you in going to war with Ctrip. Back then you were How do you lose it, and then how to get it back with your own hands. If you want to talk about it, you just think about whether this can make you get out of the bad breath in your heart. And whether you are sure to get those people from Ctrip. "

Ji Qi smiled wryly: "I'm not sure I can control them, I'm not born to eat this bowl of rice."

Lu Yiming said: "Then let's fight, wouldn't it be enough to kill Ctrip?"

Ji Qi was very moved when he heard the words: "Mr. Lu, I..."

He didn't expect that Lu Yiming, as an investor, would not just accept his pockets as soon as he saw a deal, but was willing to accompany him to participate in this shocking gamble.

Lu Yiming waved his hand, signaling to Ji Qi that there is no need to say more: "I'm waiting to see your performance, but you must win."

Ji Qi nodded solemnly: "I will do my best, and I will never let down your expectations of me, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Yiming got up, ran to the football field, and said, "It's time for me to play. Old Ji, do you want to come together?"

Ji Qi waved his hands again and again and said, "I'll let it go, I'm getting old and my body can't bear it."

Looking at the back of Lu Yiming running towards the court, Ji Qi sighed in his heart.

"It seems that I really met a nobleman this time."

"But why is Mr. Lu willing to accompany me to fight Ctrip to the end?"

"Could it be that Boss Lu holds grudges more than me, and he still thinks about the rejection of investing in Ctrip?"

Although the media and newspapers have long said that Lu Yiming is very vengeful, and he always takes revenge.

But after getting along for a while, Ji Qi felt that Lu Yiming was quite generous and spoke very kindly, not like a narrow-minded person.

But for this kind of thing, Ji Qi decided that he would rather believe it than believe it.

He secretly reminded himself: Don't offend Mr. Lu in the future, otherwise you will have to retaliate after burning money, until you go bankrupt, who can stand it?

On Ctrip's side, Shen Nanpeng and others were dumbfounded when they got the news, their eyes were full of incomprehension and disbelief.

"How could he refuse?"

Even Liang Jianzhang's brain, which has always been extremely smart, couldn't figure out why Ji Qi didn't accept Ctrip's olive branch.

"It's obviously a situation in which the two families cooperate to benefit both. Do we have to fight to the death to decide the outcome?"

Fan Min had already expected that the matter would develop to this point, so he was the calmest, and asked in a deep voice, "It's all right now, what should we do next?"

Liang Jianzhang couldn't figure out why Ji Qi had changed so much. Before leaving the job, everyone didn't tear their faces apart, but now they put on a posture of immortality.

But he is a rational person after all, and he quickly made a decision: "Since seeking peace is impossible, we have to go to war."

Hearing the word "war", Shen Nanpeng felt very ashamed. As a capitalist, he is naturally risk-averse.

And "going to war" is the biggest risk. Right now, Home Inns and Ctrip are competing for industry supremacy, and only one of them will survive in the end.

As for who will have the last laugh, only God knows.

If you lose, you will lose everything.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Shen Nanpeng has no other choice but to fight to the death, so he had to promise Liang Jianzhang: "We have just accepted the financing from the Carlyle Group, and we still have at least 1000 million US dollars in hand. It can last until the end of this year."

Then he told Liang Jianzhang, saying: "At present, the Internet winter is still going on, so financing is very difficult. You should save this money."

Liang Jianzhang nodded seriously, and said: "I still understand the reason why good steel is used on the blade. Don't worry, I know what to do."

China Sea.

Lu Yiming suddenly received a call. The other party claimed to be a member of the Zhonghai Branch of the Xiaguo Tourist Hotel Industry Association and invited him to attend an event.

Of course, Lu Yiming had no interest in participating in this kind of event, but Ji Qi was also invited. He ran over to encourage Lu Yiming, saying that there were many investors present and let Lu Yiming embolden him.Lu Yiming thought that Rujia was going to kill Ctrip now, so he agreed.

Back home that night, Lu Yiming told Shi Qingxue about this matter. He wanted Shi Qingxue to go with him, so as not to be too boring, but Shi Qingxue just had to do a project, so Lu Yiming had no choice but to take Yu Jiayi with him. go to.

Since entering university, Shi Qingxue is also very self-aware, knowing that it is impossible to enter Furi University with her true level.And now everyone knew that she was Lu Yiming's girlfriend.In order not to embarrass Lu Yiming, and now that her heart has been resolved, she studies very, very hard. Not only did she learn the content of the university courses well, but she also took the time to make up for the knowledge she had learned in middle school.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Jiayi returned to the dormitory after finishing her day's work.

Although she has already found a job with Lu Yiming, she is actually only in her senior year, and there are more than two months before graduation.

Everyone else in the dormitory has also found a job locally, so the dormitory group of four is still there.

"Yo, our richest man's secretary is back."

"How about it? Is it fun to be the richest man's secretary?"

Yu Jiayi devoted herself to the dormitory, and several people in the dormitory suddenly started teasing.

After all, being the secretary of the richest man is too mysterious and enviable.

Yu Jiayi sat on her seat with a tired face, put a stack of documents in her hand on the table, and said, "What's the fun, Mr. Lu manages a lot of things every day, and he just talks about hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in business, and many jobs require me." Come do it, I dare not relax at all. If I accidentally make a mistake in a number, then I probably won’t be able to make it in my life.”

There is a saying: Never think that rich people are as happy as you think. Yu Jiayi has deeply realized this after running with Lu Yiming for the past few months.She always felt like Lu Yiming had so many thoughts, he could buy whatever he wanted, and life should be carefree, but in fact, what Lu Yiming needed to think about was far more complicated than she imagined.

Yu Jiayi opened the folder and began to check and check. I was afraid that if I made a mistake, it would be difficult to deal with business tomorrow.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang. Yu Jiayi glanced at it, quickly pressed the answer button, and raised it to her ear: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

Several other girls in the dormitory, hearing that it was Lu Yiming's call, came over one after another and eavesdropped.

Yu Jiayi wanted to escape, but was held down by several people and couldn't move, so she had to ignore them.

On the other side of the phone, Lu Yiming didn't know how many people were eavesdropping on Yu Jiayi's side, so he asked, "Do you have time tonight?"

Hearing this sentence, several roommates immediately widened their eyes and looked at each other, the fire of gossip burning in their eyes.

"It's started, it's started!"

"The love-hate relationship between the domineering president and the tsundere little secretary!"

"Sure enough, the secretary can do nothing..."

Yu Jiayi waved a few roommates away, and said to Lu Yiming cautiously, "Yes, what's the matter with Mr. Lu?"

Under normal circumstances, Lu Yiming never called Yu Jiayi except for the normal working hours of [-] am to [-] every day, and Yu Jiayi never had the experience of working overtime.

Coupled with the chattering of several roommates around, Yu Jiayi's heartbeat also accelerated, thinking of many plots in youth novels, and feeling a little dry.

Over there, Lu Yiming didn't know that there were so many people around Yu Jiayi, so he said to himself, "I remember you don't seem to have an evening dress? Come on, I'll take you to buy an evening dress tonight."

evening dress?
Many scenes of princes and princesses flashed through Yu Jiayi's mind, and she couldn't help but said, "Mr. Lu, you shouldn't need to wear that kind of clothes at ordinary times, right? You want to..."

Lu Yiming said: "Ah, there will be an official event in a few days, and I will be invited to attend. I am thinking that you told me last time that there is no evening dress for the event? It just so happens that I have time tonight, so we will go I'll buy you a suitable set."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Yu Jiayi let out a long breath and said, "Okay."

Hearing that Lu Yiming was going to take Yu Jiayi to buy an evening dress, several roommates immediately shouted.

"Wow, the richest man in Lu wants to buy clothes for you? I heard that boys and girls buying clothes means they like it."

Yu Jiayi rolled her eyes and said, "What, Mr. Lu said that there will be a formal event a few days ago, and it's just that I need to wear an evening dress. Where did you all think?"

Qi Xuecheng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you have to take me with you. I'll help you choose."

Yu Jiayi frowned slightly, and said, "Can you do it?"

"That must be possible."

After a while, Yu Jiayi packed up her things, and went downstairs to the girls' dormitory with Qi Xuecheng.

Lu Yiming was already waiting downstairs in his Audi, and when he saw Yu Jiayi coming downstairs, he waved and said, "Here."

Yu Jiayi walked over and said to Lu Yiming: "This is my best friend Qi Xuecheng, I want to take her to help me refer, is that okay?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Sure, I don't know much about women's clothes, so I still have to choose from you."

Half an hour later, they arrived at the largest luxury shopping mall in Zhonghai.Evening dresses, except for private orders, are probably the only places where you can buy them.

Lu Yiming said to Yu Jiayi: "Since you brought your girlfriends, you can go shopping for clothes yourself, and I'll go shopping too."

Yu Jiayi was a little worried, but Qi Xuecheng pulled Yu Jiayi and ran away: "That's what you said, don't say that we bought too expensive."

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "No way."

It's just an evening dress, so how expensive can it be?
On the second floor, there are luxury stores everywhere, such as Hermes donkey brand, not to mention Yu Jiayi, even Qi Xuecheng, who has a wealthy family, dare not come here casually.Those luxuries that start at five figures are not something she can afford.

"Wow, there are so many beautiful clothes here, it's like a woman's paradise!" Qi Xuecheng held Yu Jiayi's arm tightly, and said pitifully, "Sister, can you help me ask the richest man Lu to see if he still needs clothes?" Is there no shortage of secretaries? I can do it too."

Yu Jiayi laughed and scolded: "Okay, don't be fooling around, you can help me as a consultant, buy one and leave, don't make Boss Lu wait too long, there are so many here, I am dazzled by seeing."

"Okay."

Qi Xuecheng curled her lips, cast her gaze around, pointed to one of the women's clothing stores and said, "I think the style of that one is more suitable for you. Come on, let's go and have a look."

This is a store that sells high-end women's clothing. The overall style is calm and introverted, which is indeed more suitable for Yu Jiayi and the others, who are intellectual women who study law.

The two walked into the shop, and Yu Jiayi casually picked up the tag of a piece of clothing in front of her to take a look, and was stunned: "This short-sleeved cheongsam actually costs more than 2 yuan?"

Lu Yiming's salary for her is already very high, but her annual salary is only for this one piece of clothing.

It's outrageous.

Qi Xuecheng said: "After all, it's a dress, and it's an international brand, so the price is reasonable."

Yu Jiayi shook her head and said, "It's too expensive, too expensive, let's see if there is anything cheaper."

As a result, the two walked around and found that the cheongsam-style dress with a price tag of 99 yuan at the door was the cheapest in the store.

Qi Xuecheng said: "I think it's pretty good, you try it, you will definitely look good in it."

While talking, Qi Xuecheng went to pick up the clothes from the shelf, but a female shop assistant got out, saw the two of them taking the clothes, and immediately scolded: "You two, what are you doing?"

If it was other customers, she would definitely not shout that. After all, women who can shop in this kind of shop are either rich or expensive.The reason why she spoke was because she immediately recognized Qi Xuecheng and Yu Jiayi.

Qi Xuecheng and Yu Jiayi were also startled by the voice, they both looked towards the source of the sound, and then expressions of astonishment appeared on their faces.

Yu Jiayi asked in surprise, "Tang Zhu? Why do you work here?"

Qi Xuecheng asked, "Your family owns this store?"

After all, it is a top university like Furi University, and it is a bit unexpected to sell clothes after graduation, so Qi Xuecheng thinks whether this girl has come back to inherit the family business.After all, the distribution of such international luxury brands is not something ordinary people can handle.

Tang Zhu usually dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and never communicates with classmates from poor families.She didn't answer the questions of the two people, but said: "If you don't buy it, don't touch it. If you touch it, you won't be able to afford it."

She knew that both Yu Jiayi and Qi Xuecheng were not from rich families, and it was impossible for them to buy such tens of thousands of dollars of clothes.

Qi Xuecheng was very upset immediately, and said tit for tat: "Hey, you are looking down on people with a dog's eyes, who said we can't afford it?"

Tang Zhu said contemptuously: "I've been a classmate for four years, can I not know if you have money? This Yu Jiayi has been eating steamed buns for half a semester. What will she use to buy my clothes? That's fine, don't worry." It's embarrassing here again, I didn't pursue you because of the face of my classmates. Otherwise, I would have called someone. "

At this moment, Zhu Chongliang, the shop owner who was drinking tea in the office, came out and asked, "What happened?"

He has been in the luxury business for decades, and his vision is very vicious. He took a look at Yu Jiayi and Qi Xuecheng and decided that they were not rich.The people who come to his store on weekdays must be wearing famous brands, and although the two people in front of them are clean and tidy, they don't have any branded goods.

However, people who can do this kind of business are not reckless people. Even though he judged that the two people in front of him were not customers, Zhu Chongliang still smiled and said: "You two beauties, I am the store manager, what do you need?" help?"

Qi Xuecheng pointed to several sets of evening dresses hanging on the wall, and said, "Take these clothes off for me, let's try them on."

Tang Zhu laughed and said, "You can't afford it, so why try?"

Zhu Chongliang said hypocritically: "How can you talk to guests like this?"

Although the superficial skills are well done, Zhu Chongliang is also very resistant to Qi Xuecheng's request.

People who obviously can't afford evening gowns are wasting their time letting them try them on.

At this moment, Lu Yiming walked over slowly, looked at the two empty-handed, and asked, "What? You haven't chosen yet?"

Zhu Chongliang looked up at Lu Yiming, and then his eyes widened.

He didn't recognize Lu Yiming's identity as the richest man, but he recognized the watch on Lu Yiming's wrist.

Frank Muller!
The brand of Franck Muller is not very famous in China, but it can't stand it's expensive!
At least the starting price of hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough to keep most people away, and because they are not well-known to ordinary people, there are almost no counterfeit products.

So Zhu Chongliang can be sure that the young man in front of him has the real thing on his wrist!

A watch worth millions, what a watch, it's like wearing a villa on the street!
Just as Qi Xuecheng was about to speak, Zhu Chongliang walked over with a smiling face and said, "The two beauties have taken a fancy to the evening dresses in our store, and I am about to get the size to try on the two beauties. Tang Zhu, hurry up and get them Take the clothes down and try them on for the guests."

Tang Zhu was always unhappy, and muttered: "Manager, they really can't afford it, they just came here to amuse us."

Zhu Chongliang wished he could strangle this intern employee to death.

You're blind, I'm not blind, don't I know if they can't afford it?As long as the man behind them can afford it!
In order to avoid embarrassment from Tang Zhu continuing to say some impolite words, Zhu Chongliang said: "Okay, I will take it for the customer myself. You are clumsy, go to the warehouse to organize the shelves."

He explained to Lu Yiming and others with a smiling face: "The newcomer is not sensible, forgive me, forgive me."

Tang Zhu, who had found this internship job by relying on her family relationship, was suddenly full of grievances, and couldn't figure it out in her heart, why the store manager scolded her when she was telling the truth.
