Golden Age 1990

Chapter 297 Five Year Agreement

Santa Monica Beach.

I have to admit, this place is indeed as beautiful as in the movie.

People of all races sunbathe on this beach. They only need simple things, a piece of cloth or big pants, and then they lie down on the beach and live together.

However, if you look closely, you can actually see that black, white and yellow are very distinct.

This beach is really nice, especially the pier.

It is said that according to the Guinness Book of World Records, this pier appears in the most movies.

And now, there is a restaurant on this pier.

Babgum Shrimp Restaurant.

When you hear the name, you know what this restaurant is about. Yes, it is the theme restaurant of "Forrest Gump".

Obviously, this restaurant is not famous for the taste of its dishes, and it must be very expensive.

But it’s quite fun, just like this restaurant’s menu sign, which looks like a table tennis racket.

There are also some souvenirs and dolls.

It should be said that people have been working very hard to develop Forrest Gump's commercial value, just like he did in the movie, advertising table tennis rackets.

But some people just don't like it.

"Hey? What's wrong with you girl? Isn't this fun?"

"Well, let's eat shrimp."

"Why don't you eat it? It's still delicious."

Bai Feng felt that these things might not be that fun or delicious, but they wouldn't be something that they couldn't even look at or taste.

It's a pity that Feifei is like this now.

This girl is really weird. She came to the United States this time. She was really proactive and full of interest at the beginning.

But now, it's different.

Obviously this Santa Monica beach is very fun, and there is an amusement park in the distance.

Or instead of going to a beach amusement park, we might as well go shopping.

There are really some streets here that have a strong commercial atmosphere, with trendy brands and luxury goods.

After all, Los Angeles is still quite strong now, and its economy is really strong. Santa Monica is still a relatively good city, and it is considered a tourist attraction.

Really, this is the case in this era. After about twenty years, this place will become almost like the beach in San Luodu.

Saint Luodu told the truth, it was really not a game scene, the game company was simply realistic.

But it's not to that extent right now. It's okay in Los Angeles now, but of course, it's quite dangerous.

Bai Feng would definitely not go out for a walk at night, let alone take Feifei with him.

What happened to this girl?

"What's the problem? Can you tell Uncle Bai directly?"

Obviously, Bai Feng is not a fool. It can be seen that this girl is not angry because the food is not delicious and the Forrest Gump restaurant is not fun.

Feifei sighed, "Hey."

Why does it feel so old-fashioned?

Bai Feng scratched his head, "Just say it, don't worry about Uncle Bai and me."

Hearing what he said was interesting, a smile finally appeared on Feifei's face.

"That's actually what happened."

what?

Bai Feng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood, "You mean debut? Didn't I tell you already? In fact, you have already debuted a long time ago. There is no need to compete with them for resources."

"But...but..."

"But what?"

Bai Feng really couldn't understand the way this girl hesitated to speak.

What on earth is Feifei thinking?

"But I'm just anxious."

Anxious?

After hearing this, Bai Feng couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "You are only ten years old now, what is there to be anxious about?"

That's right, Bai Feng really couldn't understand what this girl was thinking.

Feifei actually...she actually doesn't know herself very well now. Sometimes she doesn't even know what she wants.

When you are in your teens, I heard that you are entering the rebellious stage at this time.

So, what exactly is the rebellious period?

Feifei didn't quite understand, so she could only ask her mother, and her answer was simple.

I think you are rebellious.

Good guy, this answer is really frustrating.

In fact, we can't blame Sister Liu. She was feeding her son food at the time.

After he came to his senses, he said to Feifei:

"Probably he is not satisfied with anything, has a bad temper, and is quite aggressive."

Is Feifei like this?

This girl doesn't know it herself, but there is one thing she seems to be very close to.

She wanted to make her debut, which was not really that urgent, but she was blocked or not supported by Uncle Bai Feng.

This made her a little angry.

It seems like, isn’t this consistent with the state of rebelliousness?

To be precise, the more Uncle Bai Feng didn't care about her debut, the more she wanted to debut.

This seems strange, but I can't help it.

Why did you do this?

Feifei herself didn’t have a reasonable explanation.

So……

"Do you know my mother?"

"Sister Liu, of course I know."

"If you support my debut now, then I will tell you a secret from my mother."

"Ah? This..."

Bai Feng felt a little strange, but this matter did not tempt him much.

What secrets does Sister Liu have that he doesn't know?

Even if she has a few moles on her butt, he knows it.

Of course, you can't talk to this girl about this.

However, Feifei said firmly, "You must not know this secret!"

Bai Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought for a moment and said, "Feifei, even if your mother has any secrets, it's her business. I respect her, so I don't want to know her secrets."

When Feifei heard these words, the little girl was stunned.

People, sometimes like this, can grow up in an instant.

Feifei used to be a bit mischievous, and Bai Feng also doted on her. Moreover, Uncle Bai Feng's care was still very strong and good.

Really, Feifei can actually feel that she is not a stupid child.

But, after all, she is still a little girl. Many times, she does not do things so carefully. Although she always pretends to be a little adult, she is just pretending.

She's really not an adult, and she doesn't think about things that carefully.

Like this time, Feifei deeply realized what adults think.

If Uncle Bai Feng is an immature man, like his classmates, then Uncle Bai Feng will definitely be extremely interested in his mother's secret.

But Uncle Bai Feng is not.

This is really an adult's thinking. I haven't felt it before because Feifei didn't think from another perspective.

Or maybe Uncle Bai Feng was taking care of her in many places.

But this inadvertent remark really revealed the gap between a child and an adult.

Feifei actually planned to expose her mother's background this time, in order to expose the existence of her little brother.

But looking at it now, Uncle Bai is so mature that he doesn't care about this secret at all.

Then...the key point is that even if Feifei said it, it wouldn't have much effect.

Moreover, at this moment, Feifei understood what the relationship between Bai Feng and her mother was like.

The mother may not only have given birth to Uncle Bai's child out of the idea of ​​repaying her, but she actually has feelings for Uncle Bai, but this feeling can only stay at this level.

If I told Uncle Bai this secret, then it would be equivalent to...

Feifei thought of the worst outcome.

Would it be equivalent to killing my mother?

Of course she couldn't do such a thing, she had absolutely no such intention.

So, let’s not talk about this secret.

But...the result you want?

Uncle Bai and mother...should...maybe...definitely not be together.

Suddenly, Feifei further thought of the real purpose of her mother's "repayment".

Could his younger brother be Uncle Bai's substitute?

My mother planned to give part of her love to her younger brother.

This... this seems logical.

Feifei has really grown up now, and she has figured out a lot of things that she would never have thought of before.

Putting some of your love on your younger brother is what it should be.

Aren’t mothers supposed to love their sons?

Feifei finally understood at this moment.

As expected, I am still a child, and I don't think as much and thoughtfully as their adults.

But this way...

The purpose is completely unachievable.

It is almost impossible for Uncle Bai to be with his mother again, even if they are, they may sleep... After all, they are still children, and they think that is sleep.

Feifei thought about all this, and she was very unwilling.

There is really no other way.

What else could it be?

Wait a moment.

Feifei seemed to have thought of something.

What Feifei thinks about is, what has she been doing all this time?

Does she want her mother and Uncle Bai Feng to get back together again?

Of course it is.

But, in the final analysis, is this really the case?

If you think about it carefully, the reunion between mother and Uncle Bai Feng is actually...actually...

Feifei finally saw herself clearly.

In fact, don't you hope that Uncle Bai Feng can always be by your side?

Yes, it was actually Feifei who wanted to keep him.

That's why it's like this, that's why it's so frustrating.

Feifei felt so uncomfortable when she couldn't find any reasonable solution.

that……

Is there only one possibility?

Is there only one way?

Mom and Uncle Bai Feng won't be together, so what other options are there?

Bai Feng didn't mean to disturb Feifei at first, but he was quite surprised when the girl didn't speak for a while.

"What's wrong? Feifei? Feifei..."

He even stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the girl's eyes.

"It's okay!" Feifei woke up suddenly.

"Are you okay?" Bai Feng's concern was very natural.

Feifei felt warm in her heart, but her attitude was different, "Oh, I feel so cold."

"Oh, then slow down." Seeing that the girl was eating, the shrimp finally got what she wanted and was eaten by the little fairy. Then this...

Bai Feng didn't dare to say anything. For example, these shrimps are meant to be eaten cold... Isn't that right?

In short, Feifei will be much better next.

Bai Feng was very surprised.

The two of them had a really good time on the beach in Santa Monica.

Then, they went to the commercial street to have a good time shopping.

Anyway, Bai Feng is not short of money, so he can pamper this girl.

After all, they also use the same household registration book as themselves, right?

After such a good day of fun, Feifei and Bai Feng returned to the hotel happily...

"Uncle Bai Feng."

"Hmm." "Um...can you let me think about it for a few days?"

"What?"

Bai Feng was a little confused, but he definitely doted on Feifei.

"No problem, you can think about it for as many days as you want."

At this moment, Bai Feng had no idea what Feifei was thinking about.

And Feifei smiled shyly, she was really happy.

Uncle Bai Feng is still so good.

……

Next, Bai Feng has to do his thing.

I came to the United States just to go public.

Regarding this matter, Bai Feng did not make any detours. He went directly to the Weinstein brothers.

These two guys have something, and they are Bai Feng's partners in the United States.

Although these two guys are not real financial experts, it doesn't matter.

Bai Feng still had to use them both.

"I want to go public!"

"what?"

"Launched in the U.S."

"NASDAQ?"

"Yes."

"But, Mr. Bai, we are in the movie business. What Nasdaq likes most now is websites like Yahoo."

"I know, so the listing I want to do now is the website."

"Really? You have a website?"

"Yes, it's quite powerful."

"That's great!"

The Weinstein brothers, they just love money, they are pure businessmen.

Of course, these two guys also have a certain vision, as if they were lucky enough to find that guy.

Quentin Tarantino.

You know, Quentin was just a video store clerk at the beginning. He really didn't go to any serious film school, like the film school at the University of Southern California. He really didn't have any opportunities at that time.

But just such a clerk is now famous in Hollywood and has made interesting movies like "Pulp Fiction".

Later he filmed "Until Dawn".

From this perspective, the Weinstein brothers may not be good people, but they have a good vision.

Now, Bai Feng has proposed a listing plan, and it is also a website.

Both of their eyes were full of money!

How to go public?

Packaging!

And this is exactly what Bai Feng meant.

What does Bai Feng do?

It's just marketing, or 'packaging'.

Yes, he is actually the kind of person satirized in teacher Zhao Lirong's sketch.

But so what?

I am who I am, and there is nothing wrong with what I am doing.

I just want to package a website that doesn’t look like much and put it on the market.

And this listing...

"Mr. Bai, what is our greatest advantage?"

Good question, the Weinstein brothers.

Bai Feng's answer was also very classic.

“We are a Chinese website!”

As soon as this answer came out, the Weinstein brothers all laughed.

Is it interesting?

Of course it's interesting because there's so much in this answer.

We are a Chinese website.

This means one thing.

The U.S. side doesn’t understand it at all!

Yes, this 'understanding' is the real biggest advantage of our listing!

In fact, this situation is too many, okay?

Just like Luckin later.

That’s right, how does this company harvest American capital?

It's just because they don't understand.

And what we are doing is actually very simple... To put it simply, we treat the 'coupons' consumed during consumption as our company's actual income.

Then this matter...normal people would sound problematic.

Because of the 'coupon' thing, isn't it a product of our company's price reduction?

In other words, coupons should definitely not be regarded as money, right?

wrong!

It's just not right!

Because that's conventional logic.

And what about a listed company?

Why can’t I treat coupons as my real income?

Why not!

Some people think that I must be crazy!

But actually...am I crazy?

Haha...someone paid for that coupon!

Who pays the bill?

It’s not clear yet.

Aren’t they just those investors in the United States?

They bought our company's stocks, and our company has more money, so what are we doing with the money?

Is the money I get from selling my stocks my own?

I use my own money to buy the coupons I issued myself, so are the coupons money?

Since coupons are money, then why can’t I count the coupons as normal income for our company when customers use the coupons to buy coffee?

What is this called?

This is the classic 'sea cucumber fried noodles' theory!

Yes, that Song Xiaobao and that one, they probably studied finance. If they haven't studied it, it means they may be financial geniuses.

Well, in fact, in finance, the threshold is said to be high.

But then, if you let a monkey be a trader, wouldn't it defeat those normal people?

That's what finance is all about.

What's more, the 'sea cucumber fried noodles' theory already makes sense!

What is the purpose of giving this example of Ruixing?

Very simply, Luckin can do this because... we are a Chinese company!

The Americans don’t understand it at all!

They have no idea what they did with the money they invested in stocks!

On the other hand, they basically don’t know what our website does specifically.

Americans are really easy to fool. These guys didn't even try.

Just like in that general election debate, a troll was complaining about that female ambassador.

What he said was: This woman can't even name three places in Ukraine, but she wants to send our people there to die!

To be honest, it makes so much sense.

The truth, really the truth.

Now, let's take advantage of this!

We are a Chinese company!

……

Bai Feng can stay in the United States for half a year, after all, he is serious about business affairs.

But, the efficiency over there is amazingly fast.

The company "Broom Net" attracted the attention of Wall Street as quickly as possible.

It seems that Americans don’t know yet that China also has the Internet.

But now that it's here, how can they not be happy?

This is a money-making outlet!

Bai Feng now has to meet at least three fund bosses a day, as well as at least two accountants and a lawyer.

There's no way, the lawyers charge too much, these bastards.

In short, it is very busy, but the possibility of listing is getting bigger day by day.

Within a month, Broom.com had become the most 'unicorn' company on Wall Street.

Bai Feng felt that the difference was good. He didn't need to do much now. It was even better to return to China.

Yes, let there be twists and turns in this matter, which will make those guys more anxious.

On the contrary, it will speed up the pace of our listing.

If nothing else, at least our website exists and we have really good business.

Bai Feng heard it from an accountant and based on the current situation.

It will be available on the market in as little as half a year.

This is the slowest.

So, Bai Feng mentioned that he would go back to China recently.

This...well, it will speed up the launch.

After finishing all this, Bai Feng felt somewhat tired.

It's not that he's old, but that there are a lot of people socializing in America right now.

On this day, he returned to the room.

"Uncle Bai."

"Ah? Feifei, what are you..."

The girl Feifei actually appeared in Bai Feng's room. Of course, there was no problem.

So what's wrong with this girl?

"Can you make a promise with me?"

"What agreement?"

Bai Feng thought that they seemed to have made many agreements between them, and he should have achieved a lot.

But I heard Feifei say: "Is it okay in five years?"

"Five years? For what?"

Bai Feng was very surprised.

Feifei smiled.

"In five years, I will grow up, and you have to let me be a big star by then."

Regarding this matter... Bai Feng smiled helplessly.

"Didn't I promise you before? Don't worry about this, it's nothing to me."

Five years later...in 2003, isn't this back to the original time and space?

Didn't Feifei just happen to star in "Dragon Movie"?

Yes, uncle will keep it for you! No one is allowed to take pictures!

Bai Feng was thinking this, but he didn't expect this girl to walk into him.

"Then let's make a deal! Five years, these five years... you can't get married."

"what?"

Bai Feng was stunned and thought to himself, what's going on?

"Do you agree or not?"

The little girl frowned so hard that Bai Feng simply patted her shoulder with his big hand.

"Are you worried that I, the 'father', will ignore you, the 'daughter'?"

Well, a household registration book, Bai Feng probably thought of this possibility.

Feifei was also amused, but she shook her head.

Bai Feng said nothing more and agreed immediately.

"I never thought about getting married, this..."

Bai Feng wanted to explain, but Feifei did it for him.

"I know you have many women, you philandering carrot, but it's best not to get married! This is the fairest!"

This little girl knows quite a lot.

"Five years! You wait for me, and I wait for you. Uncle Bai is waiting for you to grow up, and you...well, just wait for your dream of becoming a star to come true!"

Bai Feng confidently agreed to the agreement, and Feifei was extremely happy...

　I'm really sorry. I got stuck yesterday. I didn't think about writing it out until midnight. I'm sorry.

　　A big chapter today.

　　By the way, it’s almost finished, so don’t be impatient and write Feifei’s story properly.
