You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 239 Life is not easy
Qin Shaoyan sent the overjoyed Zhou Dao away, and agreed on a time to go back to work after the New Year, and they would talk again then.

Although Zhou Dao came to monitor Qin Shaoyan, the relationship between the two was like that of friends.

We are all workers, why should we make things difficult for each other?

Qin Shaoyan glanced at the time, said hello to the company's employees, and went out.

The company's driver had already gone on vacation, so Qin Shaoyan decisively chose Wuling Hongguang as his car.

It's purely because the Wuling Hongguang is large, spacious and easy to drive.

As the Spring Festival approached, there were fewer cars on the streets, and Qin Shaoyan slowly drove to the train station.

After finding a place to park the car, Qin Shaoyan got out and walked along the overpass to the square in front of the station.

At this time, the square was bustling with people, each carrying bags of varying sizes, and following the crowd towards the waiting hall.

They have to board the train back home and go through a long and bumpy journey just to be able to return home before New Year's Eve and enjoy the leisure time with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Qin Shaoyan came to the station not to take a bus home, but to pick someone up.

Because the journey home is difficult, not only do I have to take a green-skinned train for a day and a night, but I also have to transfer to a long-distance bus that takes two to three hours to get home.

So Qin Shaoyan's father and mother discussed and decided that the whole family should stay in Beijing for the New Year to save the children from traveling back and forth.

At the same time, it can also be considered as a trip to Beijing to relax.

The sun was high in the sky, but there was still no sense of warmth. The strong and cold wind blew from time to time, making the exposed skin feel a little painful.

Qin Shaoyan stood on tiptoe in the cold wind, looking at the exit, waiting for his parents to arrive, rubbing his hands constantly and occasionally breathing out through his mouth.

As the train was about to arrive, a crowd of people suddenly poured out of the exit.

Qin Shaoyan immediately perked up and carefully stared at every person who came out, fearing that he would miss anyone.

After a few minutes of waiting, two familiar human-shaped figures were squeezed out from the exit, and Qin Shaoyan hurriedly walked up to them.

"Dad, Mom!" Qin Shaoyan shouted as he walked against the crowd and struggled to get closer. Then he was dumbfounded.

"What are you guys carrying?!"

Qin Shaoyan stared at the luggage packages on his parents in amazement, and was completely shocked.

The big bag on his back was several heads taller than him, he had a backpack hanging on his chest, and he was holding four or five bags in his two hands.

"Why do you carry so many things?!" Qin Shaoyan quickly reached out to take off the bag from his mother. He almost couldn't hold it when he took it, and the heavy package fell directly to the ground.

My mother panted and complained, "It's all your dad's fault. He wants to take everything away from me."

Dad retorted with a dark face: "You stuffed a lot of things into your bag too."

"Don't bring so much next time." Qin Shaoyan had a headache. "I don't lack anything. Aren't you tired of carrying so many bags?"

"It's just some clothes and two quilts. Will it be cold in winter?" After unloading the bags and relaxing, my mother asked with concern.

"It's not cold, not cold." Qin Shaoyan said as he hung the big package on himself, "I happened to drive here, otherwise it would be difficult to carry it."

Dad stretched his neck to take a quick look and asked hastily, "Where's the car? Where is it?"

"We have to cross the road. There is no place to park in front of this station." Qin Shaoyan gestured with his heavy bag, "Let's go. Let's cross the overpass first."

"Can the car hold all these things?" Mom asked worriedly, "What if it can't fit?"

"We can definitely put it down in the van I drive." Qin Shaoyan responded as he walked quickly.

He just felt that the package on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he just wanted to unload it quickly and throw it into the car.

All of Mom's packages were transferred to Qin Shaoyan, and he also took over Dad's two packages.

The heavy package buried Qin Shaoyan's upper body, leaving only his eyes exposed to look at the road.

With someone to share the luggage, the father straightened his back and handed the bag in his hand to Qin Shaoyan's mother.

The family of three crossed the overpass and walked two or three hundred meters before they found the parked van.

Qin Shaoyan quickly unloaded the package, took out the key, opened the rear door, and loaded the luggage

"Well, the van is good, it has a lot of space." Dad Qin Donghai helped to stack the luggage and kept praising it, "This van is good, sturdy and easy to use. Where did you get it?"

"I'll drive the company car out for a bit." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "You two get in first."

Mom Xun Xiaohui asked a little worriedly: "Is it okay for you to use the public car? Will you make any mistakes?"

Qin Shaoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I'm the boss of the company, what's wrong with using a car?"

"Oh, that's good." Xun Xiaohui smiled, "My son has made great progress and has become a boss."

Qin Donghai interrupted and said, "The bosses all drive cars. I've never seen a boss driving a van. Are you bragging?"

Qin Shaoyan was stunned, "I really am the boss."

"Get in the car." Qin Donghai waved his hand and got into the passenger seat first.

Qin Shaoyan helped his mother into the car, closed the door and sat in the driver's seat. "Is it cold? Let me turn on the air conditioner to blow some hot air first."

"Not cold, not cold." Qin Donghai looked carefully at the interior of the car and nodded. "It still looks brand new. It hasn't been used many times."

"I've only driven this car twice. Why would anyone drive it for no reason?" Qin Shaoyan started the car.

"This is the only car your company has?" Qin Donghai asked curiously.

"There are five, two business cars and two Audi sedans." Qin Shaoyan answered casually, "Those are used to entertain customers, and this one is used to transport goods."

Qin Donghai said expressionlessly: "To entertain guests, I drive a good car, and to pick up my parents, I drive a van."

"..." Qin Shaoyan stepped on the accelerator angrily and muttered, "What's wrong with a van? I'm a company boss and I usually drive a van. It's fine as long as it works."

"If you think this isn't grand enough, I'll drive a stretched Lincoln to pick you up next time."

"Forget it, you have to buy a Santana first." Qin Donghai looked around the streets of Beijing, "This capital has changed a lot."

"Well, you've been to BJ?" Qin Shaoyan asked in surprise, "How come I didn't know?"

"You were only two or three years old at that time, so of course you don't remember it." Qin Donghai sighed, "That time I just went to the Forbidden City and took the subway."

"I'll take you to the Summer Palace in a few days." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I'll take you around during the New Year holiday. I have plenty of time."

Xun Xiaohui asked worriedly, "Aren't you the boss of the company? Why don't you open the door for business?"

Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly: "There are employees here. Besides, it doesn't matter whether the company has me or not."

"It doesn't matter whether you are here or not?" Xun Xiaohui was a little confused, "Then what does this company need you for?" "..." Qin Shaoyan was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know how to answer his mother's question. He could only explain, "I am the boss and the major shareholder. The company cannot do without me."

Qin Donghai turned his head and looked at his son. "Isn't the major shareholder the one who paid the most? Where did you get the money?"

"It's not my money." Qin Shaoyan explained, "It's the money given by the investors."

Qin Donghai nodded, "I remember you told me last time."

"You just turn the investors' money into your own money, and then invest it in the company to become a major shareholder, right?"

"Dad, please let me drive carefully." Qin Shaoyan couldn't hold it anymore and decisively stopped the topic.

Along the way, Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui kept communicating, while Qin Shaoyan drove attentively without saying a word.

They drove back to the residential area where Qin Shaoyan lived, found a spot to park the car, and the family of three carried the large and small bags upstairs.

After entering the room, Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui looked around the room.

"This house is nice, isn't it?" Qin Donghai turned around. "Two bedrooms and a living room. It's not cheap, right?"

"Three thousand and fifty a month's rent is certainly not cheap." Qin Shaoyan began to sort out the packages on the ground and placed them on the living room floor.

"What? Three thousand and five thousand a month?" Xun Xiaohui was shocked. "Why is it so expensive?"

"Of course houses in Beijing are expensive, and this place is close to Wudaokou, and Zhongguancun is nearby, full of Internet companies." Qin Shaoyan explained, "I finally found a place like this, which is close to the company."

Qin Donghai nodded, "This place is pretty good. It's comfortable and spacious."

"The rent is expensive, alright." Qin Donghai turned to look at his son and asked with concern, "Do you have enough money every month? If not, I'll send you some money."

"Of course it's enough. I earn 20,000 yuan a month." Qin Shaoyan said proudly, "Renting a house is nothing?"

"Twenty thousand?!" Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui looked at each other, "You are not just saying this to comfort us, are you?"

"Besides, aren't you the boss? Bosses also get paid?"

"Let me explain it to you." Qin Shaoyan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "The boss also needs a salary to support himself."

Then he gave his parents a detailed explanation of simple concepts such as entrepreneurship, venture capital financing, and equity distribution.

Qin Donghai thought for a moment after hearing this, "In other words, this money actually belongs to the company, not you."

"Yes." Qin Shaoyan was very relieved that his father finally didn't understand.

"In other words, you are just a nominal boss." Qin Donghai continued to ask, "Is this the salary you earn?"

"This is the current situation." Qin Shaoyan nodded and replied.

"So how is your company? Can it make money?" Qin Donghai asked with concern, "Don't let it fail in two years."

"Well, it's hard to say." Qin Shaoyan sorted out his thoughts, "As long as the website continues to have users, those venture capitalists will continue to invest money to keep the company running."

Qin Donghai suddenly asked: "Didn't you say last time that your company was going to go public to defraud money? How is it going?"

"Uh, it's OK." Qin Shaoyan replied somewhat awkwardly, "The company will operate for another one or two years, and then we can go public in the United States."

"Hey, you guys are going to America too." Qin Donghai was very surprised, "Isn't the country enough for you guys?"

"It's mainly because there's a lot of money in the U.S. stock market." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's unpack and sort out the luggage. What did you bring with you?"

Xun Xiaohui drank a sip of hot water and put the cup aside. "Let me do it, don't help me. I put the things there, don't mess them up."

Apart from two people's spare clothes and daily necessities, the other packages were filled with a wide variety of items.

"These two quilts, the thick one is for winter, and the thin one is for spring and autumn." Xun Xiaohui muttered as she dragged the thick quilt out of her backpack and handed it to Qin Shaoyan.

"There are two more blankets. Spread them on the bed. Here are the sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases..."

Qin Shaoyan helplessly put the things in his hand into the bedroom, "Mom, these things are all available in Beijing, you don't have to carry them all over."

"Things in big cities are expensive, not as cheap as where we are." Xun Xiaohui insisted, continuing to take things out of the package.

Qin Shaoyan didn't say anything and helped to pack things obediently until he saw his mother take out two bags of rice from the package. He finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Mom, why are you carrying the rice here?" Qin Shaoyan couldn't help but ask.

"The rice in Beijing is not as delicious as our Northeast rice." Xun Xiaohui walked into the kitchen and looked around. "You don't have anything here, not even soy sauce and vinegar?!"

"How do you spend your days?"

"I usually eat at the company and don't cook on weekdays." Qin Shaoyan sighed and explained.
Xun Xiaohui frowned, "Then hurry up and buy it, otherwise how are we going to celebrate the New Year?"

"Don't you usually bring your girlfriend home to cook during your break?"

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then said casually: "Where is the girlfriend?"

"You don't have a girlfriend yet?!" Xun Xiaohui became even more dissatisfied, "You're already 27 years old, and you're still single?!"

Qin Shaoyan was even more shocked. "Mom, I haven't even had my 25th birthday yet, how come I'm already 27?"

"You are already 26 this year!" Xun Xiaohui kept talking, "Aren't you heading for 27? Did I calculate it wrong?"

"It's not even my 25th birthday yet!" Qin Shaoyan emphasized.

"Whether you're old or not, you're still 26." Xun Xiaohui said dissatisfiedly, "Your mother is not confused yet, stop interrupting, do you have a girlfriend?!"

"Not yet. There's no rush for this." Qin Shaoyan said quickly with a smile.

"Not in a hurry yet?" Xun Xiaohui sighed, "People my age in my hometown are already grandmothers, and you don't even have a girlfriend. What kind of company boss are you?"

Qin Shaoyan didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he turned to look at his father, "Dad, come with me to the supermarket downstairs to buy some things, otherwise I won't be able to cook later."

Xun Xiaohui looked up at the time and remembered the important matter. "Hurry up, hurry up, I almost forgot about it."

Qin Shaoyan felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly picked up his coat and rushed out the door.

The old man followed Qin Shaoyan slowly, looking at the neighborhood curiously and suddenly asked, "How much is the housing price per square meter in this neighborhood?"

Qin Shaoyan was about to answer when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

When I picked it up, I saw that it was a New Year greeting message from the vice presidents of Sohu and NetEase.

Qin Shaoyan thought about it, pasted the content of the text message, changed the address, and sent it to Xiong Xiaoge, Zheng Nan, Xu Xin and others.

Zheng Nan and Xu Xin quickly replied to the message, which basically said thank you for Mr. Qin's blessing and wish Mr. Qin a happy new year. It was obvious that the reply was from their secretary assistant.

But there was no movement from Xiong Xiaoge, as if a stone had fallen into the sea.
