Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

When Xu Yiyang came to Guangcheng, he was just an ordinary multi-millionaire.

When I left, I had already found a little feeling of being a billionaire in the future.

But he, a future billionaire, is sitting in the waiting area of ​​the economy class at Guangzhou Airport.

He was still a bit stingy with himself, and he was not willing to buy himself a first-class or business-class ticket.

If you are not in charge, you don't know how much money is expensive. God knows how much cash will be needed to chase Fujixun in the future?

What's more, he was still squatting with Ali's boss Ma.

If the squatting is successful, it is tantamount to starting another money-burning machine.

If these two companies are compared to two children, Tengxun is definitely the kind who went out to work early before reaching adulthood, subsidized the family, and then gradually reached the pinnacle of life.

Ali, on the other hand, seems to be the kind who spent a lot of money at home until he was thirty-five years old, and suddenly realized that he ran out and made a lot of money.

The reason for saying this is because Fujixun didn't burn money for a long time.

It started its business in 1999. From 2001 to 2002, it relied on the operator's Monternet and various value-added services to achieve profitability. It was listed in Hong Kong in the first half of 2004.

Ali, on the other hand, was still financing from Yahoo until 2005, and the financing was 1 billion US dollars.

As soon as Xu Yiyang sorted out the place where Ali raised money from Yahoo, he saw more than a dozen foreigners wearing all Yahoo T-shirts passing by.

Because they are all dressed in uniform, this group of people looks very conspicuous.

Xu Yiyang recognized Yahoo's logo at a glance. With so many people and such uniform attire, they must be Yahoo employees.

He couldn't help but think to himself, in his impression, Yahoo hasn't landed in China yet, right?

Or people have come, but the product has not yet launched?

Seeing that more than a dozen people sat down near the next boarding gate, Xu Yiyang carefully looked at the notice board at the next boarding gate, and found that the plane they were taking was bound for Yanjing.

This made Xu Yiyang confirm that Yahoo has entered Huaxia now, but Yahoo Huaxia's website may not be online yet.

In fact, in the Internet industry, Yahoo can’t be regarded as a strong fortune. This company is rather strange, and it typically starts high and goes low, and it goes lower and lower.

In fact, within a few years, Yahoo as a whole began to go downhill.

However, the dozen or so Yahoo employees still gave Xu Yiyang a reminder.

Overseas capital and overseas companies will soon enter China's Internet industry on a large scale, and these Yahoo employees are the vanguard.

Now, Sina, Sohu, and Netease have already acquired overseas capital, and are preparing to collectively go public in the United States next year.

In the future, Fujixun, Alibaba, Baidu, HC.com, Ctrip, and Shanda in the future will all raise funds from overseas venture capital institutions and investors, and all except Fujixun will go public in the United States.

Even New Oriental and Xueersi, which are engaged in education,

They all went to the United States one after another.

For a long time, domestic Internet companies have been inseparable from overseas capital.

The pervasiveness of foreign capital made Xu Yiyang feel a strong sense of crisis.

If you want to make more money from the Huaxia Internet industry in the future, whether you continue to invest or start your own business, you must face up to overseas capital and overseas investors.

If you don't reserve enough fat and muscle in advance, you will be uncompetitive in front of overseas capital.

...

After more than two hours of flight, the plane landed safely at Quancheng Airport.

As soon as Xu Yiyang got out of the airport, he saw Zhang Chong waiting here.

After the two met, they took a taxi non-stop and went to Quancheng first.

Although Xu Yiyang is going to report to China International Language Institute in two more months, buying a car is still an urgent task in his opinion.

Because of this summer vacation, his goal is to open at least four branches in four new cities in Qilu, and it is impossible to run without a car.

It was Wednesday today, and Xu Yiyang had to go back to Yingzhou for class in the afternoon, so the two of them started to visit the car market without stopping.

At present, there are not many models in the domestic auto market. The three pillars are Santana, Jetta and Xiali, but Xu Yiyang is not interested in any of these cars.

He really wants to buy a Buick GL8. Anyway, he doesn't drive a car, and a commercial car is more comfortable and practical.

But when I arrived at the Buick store in Quancheng, I found out that there is no gl8 car at all, and this car has not yet been launched in China.

Right now, Buick itself doesn’t have a few models. The main model is Buick Regal, equipped with a V6 engine that drinks oil like water, and a four-speed automatic transmission. The price is around 300,000 yuan.

300,000, if you go to Yanjing now, you should be able to buy a three-bedroom apartment in the third ring road.

More than ten years later, a three-bedroom apartment can be worth 8 million yuan, and the Buick Regal is estimated to sell for 15,000 yuan.

Therefore, the price/performance ratio of buying a car is extremely low now.

But if the cost performance is low, you have to buy it, otherwise you will lose even more if you delay the business.

In addition to Buick Regal, you can choose Honda Accord, Toyota Crown, and Audi 200.

Xu Yiyang has no interest in Accord, Audi and Crown are good, but these two cars are too expensive now, the price is around half a million.

But both the Audi and the Crown are too ostentatious to fit.

The safety factor of the Xiali Jetta is not too high. Whether it has airbags or not is a matter of opinion. If something happens, it will be too late for me to regret it.

After careful consideration, Xu Yiyang decided to buy a Buick Regal.

This car is solid, and compared to Audi and Crown, it is also a little more low-key.

After paying the money, the other party helped Xu Yiyang complete the relevant procedures, and Xu Yiyang also wanted to save trouble, so he asked the people in the store to directly help him get a Quancheng license plate.

The process of getting a license these days is highly operable, and it can be done quickly with a little more money.

After picking up the car and getting the license plate, Zhang Chong sat in the driver's cab looking at this and that, and said with some embarrassment: "Boss, I haven't driven such an expensive car before, let me get familiar with it first, don't worry about it. It will be broken later."

Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "If it breaks down, it can be repaired. The car is bought for use, so it doesn't need to be so expensive."

After speaking, Xu Yiyang looked at the time and said, "It's almost two o'clock, you have to leave quickly, or you won't be in time for class."

Zhang Chong nodded and said, "Let's drive by ourselves faster than the bus, and we should be able to arrive within two and a half hours."

...

Zhang Chong drove very steadily. There were not many cars on the road, so the speed was relatively fast.

At around 4:30 in the afternoon, the car had already arrived at the downstairs of the Children's Palace.

The first thing Xu Yiyang did after he went upstairs was to find Billy and ask him about the progress of finding a foreign teacher in Quancheng on Monday and Tuesday.

Billy told him: "Boss, I have found a lot of classmates, and seven or eight of them are very interested. We will have summer vacation at the end of this week. I just want them to come to Yingzhou to meet you on Friday, but it depends on the situation." See if you have time."

"Seven or eight people?" Xu Yiyang was a little surprised, and said, "I'm fine on Friday, let them come here quickly."

Billy asked in surprise: "We only have two large classrooms, can we use so many people?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Even if you call everyone here, in addition to Yingzhou, it will soon expand to the surrounding area, and the demand for foreign teachers is still very high."

After finishing speaking, he reminded him: "Billy, these foreign teachers will be your team members in the future. The bigger your team is, the more commission you will get. If we have a team of fifty foreign teachers in the future, your income will increase." five-fold increase on the existing basis."

Billy nodded immediately and said, "Okay boss, then I will practice some more students and ask them to help me introduce some students."

Xu Yiyang said: "Remember, the quality of character must pass the test. At that time, you must also restrain your foreign teacher team. Everyone is here to be a teacher. Don't do any outrageous behavior that is not in line with the teacher's status. "

Billy said solemnly: "Don't worry, boss, I understand!"

...

At eight o'clock, Xu Yiyang finished class, and Zhang Chong drove him home.

Because he didn't have a driver's license, Xu Yiyang said to him: "Old Zhang, drive the car back and pick me up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go to Weizhou. I plan to go there to find a venue."

Zhang Chong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be here on time tomorrow."

When Xu Yiyang went upstairs and came home, his parents and sister were watching TV in the living room.

Seeing Xu Yiyang's return, Xu Yishan said excitedly: "Brother, you are back!"

Xu Yiyang nodded, and asked with a smile: "Seeing that you are so happy, did you do well in the exam?"

Xu Yishan asked for credit: "I feel that I performed really well. I must have passed the first-year exam. Brother, how are you going to reward me?"

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "Didn't you agree, I will take you out to play for a few days after I finish my work at hand."

"It's great!" Xu Yishan cheered excitedly, and then asked nervously: "Brother, take me out to play, won't it delay your business?"

"No delay." Xu Yiyang patted her head and said, "I happen to be going to Zhong Hai to do some business in two days, so I'll bring you with me then."

Dad Xu on the side asked curiously: "Son, the university is on vacation, what are you going to do in Zhonghai?"

Xu Yiyang said: "I want to go to Zhonghai to buy a house, for the convenience in the future."

Now that Zhong Hai's house price is very low, Xu Yiyang really has an idea to buy a house near the school before the school starts.

In the future, I will go to school and earn money. Without a base of my own, it will be inconvenient to do anything. Among other things, the dormitories of China Overseas will definitely not be able to install network cables.

After hearing this, Mama Xu exclaimed, "The house in Zhonghai must be very expensive, right?"

Xu Yiyang shook his head and said, "It's not that expensive, it's only two to three thousand yuan a flat."

After speaking, Xu Yiyang said again: "By the way, Mom, let's change houses too. I haven't even had a bedroom in the past few years. I can only sleep on the sofa. I bought a bigger three-bedroom apartment, which will be more convenient for me to live in in the future."

Xu's mother said: "The house in Zhonghai is so expensive, you should buy it in Zhonghai first, anyway, you will go to college soon, and you will not be able to live in our big house for a while."

Xu Yiyang said: "Let's change to another set, at least I can have my own room when I go home from vacation."

Having said that, in fact, Xu Yiyang mainly wanted to improve the living environment for his parents and younger sister.

This two-bedroom apartment is indeed too small. There is not even room for a decent wardrobe in my sister's room. Dad Xu said: "Yangyang, I'd better listen to your mother and buy in Zhonghai first. The pressure to buy a house on both sides is too great."   Xu Yiyang said in a flat tone: "The pressure is not too much, and I have plenty of money on hand."    said At this point, he remembered that he hadn't told his family about the car, so he said casually: "Oh, yes, I'm in Quancheng today, and I bought a car by the way."
