Chapter 234 Eat more

After coming out of Qin Shaoyan's office, Liu Mingzu felt both excited and heavy.

What's exciting is that Qin Shaoyan is very optimistic about the prospects of his website, which shows that he made the right choice and this road has great potential.

The heavy thing is that this road to wealth is not that easy, and there are still many difficulties to be solved.

But Liu Mingzu quickly cheered up. If things were simple and smooth, then this road would not be a way to make a fortune.

In any case, he has found the right method from Qin Shaoyan.

Seeing a golden avenue appear in front of me, I have to fight for it no matter how difficult it is.

Liu Mingzu sat in his sports car and began to weigh in his mind.

Now my main problem is how to get the first investment, build the website, and attract more users.

There is no chance for venture capital in a short time. Qin Shaoyan also said directly that he would not get ahead of venture capital.

It seems that eating old food is the easiest and best option.

That was the source of the first pot of gold for most people in that era. They wandered in the gray area and made profits by taking advantage of the price difference between planned goods and unplanned goods.

Then Liu Mingzu's only choice now is to go to his father to ask for money.

But Liu Mingzu was not his father's only son, and he was also an illegitimate son.

After that, Liu Yuanrui didn't care too much except giving them a living allowance regularly and sending Liu Mingzu to school.

As a spring breeze blew by, Liu Yuanrui, a smart man, seized the opportunity and started a business using the connections left by his father and the money from his father-in-law's family.

Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, Liu Mingzu cannot give up. After all, no matter how rich Liu Yuanrui is, once he dies, the money will have nothing to do with him.

"nothing."

This money became Liu Mingzu's first pot of gold, and he relied on this money to build his own website.

"If you have money, spend it frivolously." Liang Qiaolan stretched out her finger and touched Liu Mingzu's forehead, "You used to be very frugal, but now you learned it from someone."

After grabbing a large amount of cash, Liu Yuanrui bought several coal mines, and based on this, his business began to take off.

It was already midnight when he arrived home, and Liu Mingzu returned directly to his home.

Liu Mingzu's mother, Liang Qiaolan, was overjoyed when she saw her son back. She hurriedly pulled him into the house, and while patting the ashes on his body, she asked, "Why did he come back so suddenly?"

In other words, the past, present or future of those coal mines have nothing to do with him.

His father did have several coal mines and a lot of money.

In this way, Liu Mingzu grew up with almost no father.

Liu Yuanrui used government connections to act as a middleman. He is responsible for contacting some coal mines, sending high-quality coal to coal washing plants, processing it to remove impurities, and then selling it to the next owner.

If he didn't go to Liu Yuanrui for money, it would be difficult for Liu Mingzu to collect so much money by himself.

"I don't believe it." Liang Qiaolan rolled her eyes at him, and then asked, "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."

After having money, Liu Yuanrui finally remembered in his free time that he had a son in the countryside, so he sent someone to find their mother and son, brought them into the city, and bought a house to settle down.

After all, in addition to his wife, Liu Yuanrui also has two lovers to take care of, so how can he have so much time to think about their mother and son.

"I'm homesick." Liu Mingzu chuckled.

"It's nothing, why did you come back here?" Liang Qiaolan couldn't believe it. "It's not the New Year yet. You are usually so busy, and you suddenly came back."

Liu Mingzu's life experience is not complicated. His cheap father Liu Yuanrui met his unworldly mother when he went to the countryside, and the two made a private decision to have Liu Mingzu for life.

After making up his mind, Liu Mingzu simply drove around and bought some gifts, and then went straight to the airport.

However, Liu Mingzu knew that this was different from Liu Yuanrui taking the initiative to give him money. He went to him to ask for money and the amount was not small. It was hard to say whether the other party would give him money.

"I don't need these things, why did you buy this?" Liang Qiaolan said angrily, "There is no shortage of anything at home."

After all, Liu Mingzu is the first college student in the Liu family, and he can be regarded as a proud ancestor.

However, the romantic relationship between the two soon ended. With the trend of educated youth returning home, the very common scenario of abandoning wives and children was enacted.

Liu Mingzu's cheap father quickly returned to the city, and then quickly fell in love with Bai Fumei, leaving their mother and son behind.

If you don't get some gold coins while the old guy is still alive, you will regret it later.

Liu Mingzu no longer concealed anything and said directly, "I'll go see Liu Yuanrui tomorrow if I have something to do."

Liu Yuanrui was indeed wealthy. Liu Mingzu couldn't tell how much weight his cheap son held in his heart.

I bought a ticket to Taiyuan on the same day, and then took the bus back to my hometown.

Faced with such a promising son, Liu Yuanrui was so excited that he not only rewarded Liu Mingzu with 500,000 yuan, but also helped him buy a house in the capital as a reward.

Liu Mingzu smiled and said nothing.

"No, Mom, I ate on the way." Liu Mingzu picked out a few items from the gifts and placed them on the table, "These are bought for you."

After getting the college admission notice, Liu Yuanrui finally remembered that he had a son.

Fortunately, he was quite smart, willing to work hard and had good academic performance, so he was admitted to a university in the capital.

"Your son is now the big boss, so he deserves this little money." Liu Mingzu said casually.

"What are you doing here this time?" Liang Qiaolan asked.

"What are you doing there?" Liang Qiaolan frowned.

"Ask him for money." Liu Mingzu said confidently, "He is my father. If you don't ask him for money, who can you ask for it from?"

"What money do you want?" Liang Qiaolan turned pale, "That woman is still at home. Can she give you a good look when you come to her door?"

"Listen to me, we can't compete with them, so let's not provoke them."

"Mom." Liu Mingzu hesitated.

Liang Qiaolan continued to ask, "If you need money, tell your mother?"

After saying that, Liang Qiaolan got up and went back to the bedroom. After a while, she came out with her bankbook and said, "This is the money my mother has saved over the years. If you need money, just take it."

Liu Mingzu fell silent after looking at the bankbook. It was something his mother had saved little by little over the years, saying it was for his wife.

"Mom, you can take this money back." Liu Mingzu pushed the bankbook back, "Liu Yuanrui is also my father, so I can't keep everything."

"He just gives me some money, which is enough for me. When I get rich, I will take you to live in the capital. Let's leave this place and never come back."

Liang Qiaolan looked at Liu Mingzu happily and touched his head, "Silly boy, this is our home. Where can we go if we don't go back here?"

……

Liu Mingzu got up early in the morning, picked up his things and went out.

He took a taxi and stopped in front of a two-story villa. After getting out of the car, Liu Mingzu looked up at the house number. After confirming that it was his father's house, he stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.

The nanny who was cleaning the yard glanced at him and then went back to inform the owner.

After a few minutes, the closed iron door was opened, and Liu Mingzu walked in carrying the gift.

After entering the luxurious villa, the nanny took him into the restaurant.

My cheap dad was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it while eating.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman in her forties, who was covered in jewels and luxuries. She looked very ugly when she saw Liu Mingzu coming in.

"Dad." Liu Mingzu immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, then looked at the middle-aged woman and greeted politely, "Hello, Aunt Li." Liu Yuanrui's first wife said "hum" through her nose and rolled her eyes. Then he got up and left, passing Liu Mingzu without even looking at him.

Faced with the performance of the main wife, Liu Mingzu kept smiling from beginning to end, without showing any displeasure.

He has seen too many supercilious looks since he was a child, and he doesn't care about it. He can stand firm in the capital by observing words and emotions, and being able to bend and stretch.

At this time, only the father and son, who were embarrassed, were left in the restaurant. Liu Yuanrui raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said casually: "Sit down."

"Thank you, dad." Liu Mingzu put down the gift and sat down next to Liu Yuanrui.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "I'll eat some with dad."

"Get him a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Liu Yuanrui turned to the nanny and ordered.

Liu Mingzu filled himself with hot porridge and ate it with pickles.

Seeing his son eating deliciously, Liu Yuanrui seemed to have an appetite. He put down the newspaper and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

"When did you come back?"

"Last night." Liu Mingzu quickly replied, "I came back by plane. It was too late when I got home, so I didn't come over."

Liu Yuanrui nodded without saying anything and continued eating.

The two of them ate breakfast in silence, the only sound in the restaurant was the sound of dishes and chopsticks.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Liu Yuanrui put down the bowl and asked slowly: "What do you want to do when you come back this time?"

"Come back and visit some friends. It's the Chinese New Year soon. I have to move around." Liu Mingzu replied carefully.

Of course Liu Yuanrui wouldn't believe this, as there was still one month left before the Chinese New Year.

Normally, this son stayed in the capital and rarely came back. If he came back suddenly, something must have happened.

But Liu Mingzu didn't say anything, and Liu Yuanrui wouldn't take the initiative to ask, so he casually said: "What have you been doing in the capital in the past two years?"

"Dad, I have been starting a business in Beijing these two years." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "Didn't I build a website?"

"Oh, I heard your mother mentioned it." Liu Yuanrui nodded, "I heard that you made some money."

"I must have made three to four million."

"Oh, it's not bad." Liu Yuanrui nodded, "I can still make money, so it's not in vain."

"But those things on the Internet are too fake. While you have some money, you should quickly find a regular business owner to start a business. Don't keep fooling around and let your mother worry about it."

Liu Mingzu almost couldn't hold his breath when he heard this. Do you still have the nerve to mention my mother?

If you die, most of my mother's heart problems will go away.

However, Liu Mingzu still expected his cheap father to give him money, so he naturally had to pretend to be a loving father and a filial son.

"I know, Dad." Liu Mingzu took advantage of this topic and said, "The Internet is very popular now. Many Internet companies will go public in two or three years, and many people who make websites have launched."

"Now the country is vigorously promoting high-tech industries and has introduced many policies to support the development of the Internet. I think this is an opportunity."

Liu Yuanrui interrupted Liu Mingzu's words, "I know that the Internet has been extremely popular in the past few years. Sina, NetEase, and Sohu have even gone public in the United States."

"At that time, several of our bosses here also heard that building websites could make money, and they also invested some money in it. What was the result?"

"What's that called? Internet bubble?" Liu Yuanrui said with a straight face, "When the bubble comes, not a single website is left, and no one wants to give it away."

"Your father and I have been in the mall for so many years, and I have never seen any kind of formation."

"Just build a few computers and the entire website can make money?"

"Everything on the website is virtual, but the things buried in the ground are real."

Liu Mingzu said nothing with a sullen face.

"Are you not convinced?" Liu Yuanrui put down his chopsticks and lectured, "I have eaten more salt than noodles."

"If you want to make money, I won't stop you. After the year, you can go to the mine to become a manager and train yourself. I will find you a regular employee later."

Liu Mingzu simply stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Dad, I want to borrow some money from you when I come back this time."

"Borrow money?!" Liu Yuanrui glanced at him, "How much does it cost?"

Liu Mingzu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and said, "Five million, maybe."

"What do you mean?!" Liu Yuanrui frowned, "What do you want money for?"

"Let me put it bluntly." Liu Mingzu said, "I know a friend in Beijing who can help me put the website on the market. However, the scale of the website is too small now and a sum of funds is needed to build the website."

"Once my website is successfully listed, its market value can reach one billion."

Liu Yuanrui sneered, "Where's the liar from?"

"Mr. Qin is not a liar!" Liu Mingzu immediately retorted, "Mr. Qin is an Internet legend. He built a website from scratch. How many billions is he worth now?"

Liu Yuanrui sneered: "Starting from scratch? Are you hysterical about wanting to get rich? How can someone so rich start from scratch and fool a fool?"

"Let me tell you, anyone who is worth over 100 million has a background behind it. How can you get rich without power or money?"

"Dad, your idea is too old." Liu Mingzu said seriously, "Now the Internet is developing very fast, and new wealth myths are born every day."

"The logic of the Internet is different from that of traditional industry. Industry requires capital to operate. The Internet is different. It is a business without capital."

"So ordinary people can also turn around through the Internet. There are many such examples."

"For example, Mr. Qin, he was a college student who had not graduated the year before last. After more than a year of operation, his website valuation has exceeded 5 billion."

As he spoke, Liu Mingzu placed several newspapers in front of Liu Yuanrui, pointed to the photos above and said, "This is Mr. Qin Shaoyan, the CEO of the campus network."

"The news here is about the Global International Marathon organized by the campus network and foreign Facebook networks. The momentum was so huge that even the leaders above were alarmed."

"You see, these are all the leaders of the capital city taking photos with him. This one is an official of the International Olympic Committee, this one is an American mayor, and this one is a European mayor."

Liu Yuanrui glanced at it for a few times, his face became serious, he picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, and then said slowly: "This person is not simple."

"Mr. Qin is a powerful person." Liu Mingzu took the opportunity to say, "He is not only great at building websites at home, but he also has many connections abroad."

"You see this is a photo of him having coffee with Bill Gates. He has a very good relationship with Microsoft and has a lot of cooperation."

Liu Yuanrui frowned and looked at the photo Liu Mingzu brought, then put it aside and asked, "Is this person your friend?"

"Yeah." Liu Mingzu nodded.

"It's rare that you can make such a friend." Liu Yuanrui said expressionlessly, "Eat, eat."

"Dad?!" Liu Mingzu asked tentatively, "What about the money?"

"Let's talk about it after the new year." Liu Yuanrui said casually, "The millet in Shanxi is good for people. Eat more, eat more."

Liu Mingzu was not sure what the old man meant, so he could only eat his meal in silence.

Liu Yuanrui occasionally asked a few questions, and Liu Mingzu answered them one by one. After that, the two of them stopped talking about borrowing money.

After sending Liu Mingzu away, Liu Yuanrui picked up the phone.

"Hey, check someone out for me, the CEO of Campus Network."

"My name is Qin Shaoyan."
