Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 108 Ask Ce Seafood Restaurant

The next day, Liang Teng also woke up early.

He didn't make breakfast and tried to call Wu Xia.

Pulled through the phone.After asking, I found out that Wu Xia woke up earlier than him.

Liang Teng asked her to have breakfast together.

By the way, let's discuss about the company's "investment" in the next period of time.

Wu Xia is not a person who likes to make breakfast, so after listening to the boss's suggestion, he readily agreed.

Liang Teng had 1800 million windfalls in his hands, even if he didn't deliberately pick on him, he naturally didn't consider eating bowl noodles, which "doesn't suit his identity", in his mind.

After thinking about it, I haven't eaten seafood porridge for a long time, so I told Wu Xia to meet up at the "Ke Lai Ju" seafood porridge shop on the other side of the community.

hang up the phone.

Liang Teng had the experience of meeting Wu Xia at "Kenta Fried Chicken" before, and he knew that it is impossible for a woman to go out quickly and easily.

He also went to take a bath slowly.Changed into dry casual clothes.Use an electric shaver to shave off the stubble that has not been shaved for two days.

The whole person goes out with a "new look".

If Liang Teng looked at his current expression in the mirror, he would find that his whole "spirit, energy and spirit" was completely different.

A small part of the "renewed" feeling comes from the new outfit, but most of it comes from the qualitative change in his temperament after he has money.

It is a kind of self-confidence of a successful person, a kind of detachment of a master in a certain field, a kind of majesty of a big boss...a temperament formed by the fusion of various positive energies.

Perhaps, this is the charm of what women call "mature men".

This time Liang Teng's judgment was extremely accurate.

He and Wu Xia almost came to the "Ke Lai Ju" seafood porridge shop.

Liang Teng arrived half a minute early.

After Wu Xia, who arrived later, also sat down, a waitress came over and handed over the main menu catalog of the store.

Liang Teng asked Wu Xia to order something to eat first.

Wu Xia ordered a "Sandworm Clam Congee" and a "Scallop Shrimp Congee".In addition, I ordered a dish of "stir-fried lettuce in oyster sauce".

Liang Teng waited for her to finish ordering, and also ordered a "fish fillet and crab meat porridge", a fried squid with clams, a plate of chili sauce mixed with small cucumbers, and a plate of fried peanuts.

This newly opened seafood porridge shop is not atmospheric at all.

After the customer finished ordering, the waitress asked: "Scan WeChat or a certain treasure"?
The implication is to "pay first and then eat".

Liang Teng didn't bother to worry about this, thinking that his bank card was "bound" to WeChat, so he scanned WeChat to pay.

Good guy!With just a few simple things, it actually cost 2153 yuan.

No wonder you have to pay first.The shopkeeper estimated that this area is close to the university, and there are a lot of students who come out to spend.

Most college students are greedy for fresh food but poor. They feel embarrassed that they don’t have enough money to pay the bill after eating “seafood porridge”.

Paying in advance is also equivalent to a kind of "price publicity".If it is too expensive, you can directly refuse to pay.Things haven't been done yet, so it's not a waste of time.

The waitress left a list slip.

Liang Teng read it carefully.

I found that there are two main things that are expensive: one is the "sandworm elephant clam porridge" ordered by Wu Xia, with a price tag of 566 yuan.One is the "fish fillet and crab meat porridge" ordered by myself, priced at 1288 yuan.

Liang Teng knew a little about the price of raw seafood.

In the city's largest seafood wholesale city, the price of geoduck is about 180 yuan per catty.A geoduck that weighs about one catty is worth 300 to [-] yuan.It weighs several kilograms.It is impossible to sell this kind of seafood separately. It can only be sold on the spot, and seafood porridge is made now.

The "sand worm porridge" sold for 600 to [-] yuan is estimated to be some dry goods.Because "sandworm" is also very expensive, even more expensive than "geoduck".But it is small in size, and the seller can decide how much to put or how little to put.

Put less sandworms, the porridge made from these two kinds of seafood, the price is not too outrageous.

As for a "fish fillet and crab meat porridge", it costs 1288 yuan.Mainly expensive in the price of crab.

According to the special "marking" on the list, the crab meat is a "king crab" weighing two to two catties.

King crabs are sold by the catty, more than 800 yuan per catty.The cost of this "king crab" alone is 1000 yuan.The fish fillet is the more common "crispy carp", which is not expensive.

The "King Crab", which weighs just over a catty, is actually not that big.During those years when Liang Teng was a poor student, even though he couldn’t afford to eat “king crabs”, he visited the city’s “seafood city” frequently (the most bought were “flower clams” that cost a few yuan a catty. I have bought 30 yuan per catty of prawns two or three times).

After visiting the "Seafood City" a lot, I naturally know the prices of various seafood.

The price of seafood with a price of more than [-] yuan is stuck on every oxygen delivery glass tank containing seafood.It can be regarded as "clearly priced".

Liang Teng once saw a "king crab" the size of a basin, priced at 1500 yuan per catty.

That extra-large king crab must have weighed seven or eight catties, at least.This alone costs tens of thousands of dollars.

This price is still the previous two years.

In 2020, before Liang Teng's rebirth, "King Crab" sold for 2688 yuan per catty.How much does one cost?

Liang Teng was very impressed at the time: Those who can afford "King Crab" are rich people.

If the working class has to spend two to three months' wages to taste a small "king crab", it's okay.

But everything has to be "supporting".

Generally speaking, a person who eats a "King Crab" that costs tens of thousands of dollars will usually wear tens of thousands of clothes, and use a bag worth tens of thousands of dollars. piece.It costs three to two thousand to replace a tooth...

It is impossible for her to splurge on one thing alone.

Her whole quality of life, that's it.In their world, eating a meal of 2 yuan worth of seafood is equivalent to eating a meal of mutton hot pot worth over [-] yuan for ordinary people.Not surprising at all.Not worth the fuss.

In the past, Liang and Teng were human beings, and they never tasted "king crab".Even if it is only "one catty two taels of king crab" as marked by this store, it is considered relatively small, but Liang Teng has not eaten it on purpose.

In his poor man's mind, how different is the taste of "king crab" sold for 800 yuan per catty from ordinary meat crabs sold for 80 yuan per catty?
no difference.

At most, it's just a difference in size.

Liang Teng has always thought so arbitrarily.

Say so.But for Liang Teng's first breakfast after becoming a multi-millionaire, he chose a "fish fillet and crab porridge", as if subconsciously, he had to eat "king crab".

But because of his superior background, Wu Xia ate all kinds of seafood.

There wasn't a single one she particularly wanted to taste.Liang Teng asked her to order something, so she casually ordered a moderately priced "sandworm elephant clam porridge".

This geoduck has the effect of "improving immunity". Recently, Wu Xia feels that the quality of sleep is not very good, so he also needs to eat something nutritious.

A few simple dishes were quickly served on the table.

The seafood porridge of "Ke Lai Ju" is cooked in a "casserole" with a diameter of about 20 cm, which is authentic.

It usually takes about half an hour to serve the casserole together.

Both Wu Xia and Liang Teng have eaten at "Ke Lai Ju" before, so they are quite experienced and ordered a few small dishes first, knowing that the main "seafood porridge" will not be served so quickly.

Wu Xia used the lettuce with a chopstick, dipped it in oil, and brought it to his mouth.

While eating, he asked Liang Teng with a smile: "Director Liang has a lot of cash in hand now. Let me guess, what kind of plans does Director Liang have now? Oh, he must be unable to sit still and thinking about it again." Is there a way to make money?"

Liang Teng also ate the fried peanuts with his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "That's right, the company didn't have much liquidity in the past. Many profitable projects can only be watched. Now it's time to carefully consider investing in some projects. You continue to guess Guess, what kind of investment project will I choose?"

"There's no need to guess at all, okay?"

Wu Xia raised her pretty eyebrows and said, "I think it's okay if the funds are not in place. If you have a certain amount of capital on hand, Director Liang will definitely invest in one of the two most profitable industries in the next ten years."

Speaking of this, Wu Xia especially emphasized: "Of course, if the capital is stronger in the two most profitable industries in the future, you can choose to invest in both. But with the current strength of our company, I guess Liang Dong will choose first for the sake of stability. invest in one of them.”

Liang Teng "calmly", maintaining an air of superiority, continued to ask: "Then which two industries do you think will be the most profitable in the next ten years?"

"One is the Internet IT industry. This industry burns a lot of money. Although it is recognized that there will be an explosive period in the next ten years, but in the early stage of starting a business in the IT industry, how much money is invested is like a bottomless pit. To put it bluntly, The IT industry is really going to burn money, and Liang Dong earns 2000 million yuan, which can be consumed in a few months. So I really don’t recommend Liang Dong to get involved in the IT industry, at least not now.”

Wu Xia's attitude is rare and solemn: "Many IT industries now do not see the possibility of making profits in the short term. As a result, even many people who have already invested heavily in the IT industry no longer consider long-term benefits. Because this industry It may take more than ten or two years for the explosive period to appear. In the past ten years, continuous investment is needed to maintain the market share, which is quite a waste of money..."

If it were someone else, after listening to Wu Xia's analysis of the prospects of the IT industry, it might feel too professional and abstract.

But Liang Teng has personally witnessed too many examples of "burning money" in the IT industry in later generations.He can cite countless cases to verify Wu Xia's views.

For example, operating a "bike-sharing" company, its essence is not to invest tens of thousands of bicycles in each city, but to realize the promotion of "bicycles" through the already popular network scanning code payment.

As a result, "bicycle sharing" has not been profitable. After investing several years of capital, the founder also chose to sell the company to financial predators.

For example, a company that operates an online shopping platform and also operates its own logistics.Its financial statements show negative profits every year.

This situation lasted for ten to twenty years.If it is not for the continuous introduction of financial predators to hold shares, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold.It even grows year by year.

Even the "Penguin" company, which later developed into a giant in the IT industry, was not all smooth sailing as people imagined.

It has been a loss for many years since its establishment, and the founder has doubted life due to the loss.The founder also thought about selling the business.But it cannot be sold for a period of time.Later, he found a financial crocodile who was willing to invest in the "Penguin" company, transferred part of the shares, and introduced a huge amount of money. Only then did he develop and grow. Ten or twenty years later, he created a new generation of richest man in China.

……

Liang Teng has seen too many of the above cases, so he doesn't think Wu Xia's analysis and judgment are abstract and difficult to understand.

It is not surprising that I have the advantage of rebirth and can clearly see through the development prospects of the IT industry.However, Wu Xia asserted that the IT industry will be one of the most profitable industries in the next ten years before any domestic IT industry has grown into a financial giant.

This vision is really sharp.

"I understand what you mean." Liang Teng looked at Wu Xia with admiration, and said, "I also hold the same opinion as you. It is true that the IT industry may develop rapidly in the future, but in the first few years, it is the ones that occupy the market. This period is also the most difficult period, and only through the darkness before dawn can we see the bright future.”

"So, many entrepreneurs who do not have strong capital, even if they have invested heavily in certain IT industries in the early stage, they persisted for a few years, but they still couldn't persist in the end. They chose the best way to 'cash out' in the short term-promoting the company Go public for financing, or sell directly to a seller who is willing to buy his company at a high price." Wu Xia said with deep emotion.

Liang Teng nodded.

Before his rebirth, he had seen too many IT companies "selling concepts".

For example, the concept of "shared bicycles", no matter how many bicycles are put into various cities, has not seen any profit in the past few years, but the founder continued to launch "shared bicycles"... until one day, the company was successfully listed, and the stock price was pushed down. up to a peak.Without hesitation, the founder emptied out all the shares he owned and realized all of them.

Cashed out hundreds of millions of dollars.Since then, no new "shared bicycles" have been launched in various cities...

This is a successful case of "selling the concept".

Another example is the founder of a certain platform who first promoted "online food delivery".Because the platform is not big enough and the capital is not strong, I insisted on operating the food delivery platform for several years, and finally sold the "platform" to financial predators for a sky-high price of several hundred million.

Having seen many such examples, no matter how conceited Liang Teng is, he dare not say that with the 1800 million funds in his hand, he can set foot in the IT industry like a "gold-swallowing behemoth".

What Liang Teng lacks is not creativity, ideas, concepts, etc., if he really wants to play in the IT industry, he is full of these things (although they are all stolen from others before rebirth).

What he lacks is the huge capital to transform those creative concepts into reality.

The above are his true thoughts, and when he thinks of ecstasy, he can't help declaring it.

After hearing this, Wu Xia was secretly happy that Liang Teng had kept his head clear.

She felt relieved when he thought so.

In addition, Wu Xia didn't think that Liang Teng was bragging. Having seen many of his unexpected ideas, Wu Xia believed that when Liang Teng really wanted to "enter" the IT industry, he would definitely come up with many new creative ideas.

She blinked strangely and encouraged: "Okay! Then I wish Director Liang to accumulate enough capital as soon as possible, and then enter the IT industry. Even if he can't become the founder of some kind of IT innovative platform, he should be a person with huge capital. The buyer is not bad, either."

"That's not necessary. It's not my style to be a 'receiver'." Liang Teng said seriously.

Wu Xia felt that his words sounded a bit awkward.

Liang Teng especially emphasized: "I really have a lot of the latest and most powerful ideas. After I accumulate three or four years of capital, I will turn around and enter the IT industry. I believe I will have time!"

Wu Xia nodded, and couldn't help asking: "To accumulate capital for three or four years, how much capital will Director Liang's goal be to accumulate by then?"

"Never underestimate three or four years. It may seem short, but it can create many miracles that you never imagined at the beginning."

Liang Teng said meaningfully: "Perhaps, now it seems that in terms of market share, things that belong to behemoths, such as instant noodles, such as Kodak, do you believe that they will be surpassed by some in just three or four years?" Will the new things knock down the altar? Then, it will take a few more years to completely defeat them. Of course, you must first know what the latter is as a "new thing"? And have the ability to control it. "

Wu Xia wrinkled her nose and sighed, "You look so profound. I know instant noodles and Kodak, but I still can't understand what you say."

Liang Teng blurted out: "The one that defeated instant noodles was not another instant noodle company, but Meituan Waimai; the one that defeated film was not another one, but a DSLR; the one that defeated a DSLR was not another DSLR, but a smart camera... "

Wu Xia had an epiphany.Bright eyes sparkled, and he was deeply impressed by Liang Teng's novel ideas.

I feel that Liang Dong is really too deep.

She said in admiration: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Liang. Kodak became the world's largest company by selling film. Its film market share was as high as 90.00%. But when the SLR camera appeared, it used film to shoot. The higher picture quality and more visual impact of Kodak broke the market monopolized by Kodak for a long time; after the SLR occupied the market, it was robbed of the largest market share by the "smart digital camera" that did not need to use film at all... ... Liang Dong, what you call "new things" are divided into different historical periods. For Kodak, SLR is a new thing; and for SLR, digital cameras are new things! So Liang Dong's goal is to be in a specific period, before others discover 'new things'. And have enough capital to grow this new thing, and then compete for the market."

Speaking of this, Wu Xia asked with some doubts: "But, what is 'Meituan Waimai'? Why haven't I heard of it? Can it seize the huge market share occupied by instant noodles?"

Liang Teng thought to himself: If you know about "Meituan Waimai", that would be a strange thing.The Meituan food delivery platform only appeared after 2010!

Liang Teng didn't criticize himself for talking too much, but said vaguely: "There is no need to delve into this. You just need to know that I am not short of creative ideas, but I am short of money."

Wu Xia looked at him, feeling a little strange.

Can you not blame it?A young boss with a net worth of at least 1800 million said that he was short of money, and his style of painting was really weird.

Liang Teng concluded: "Have you read Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem"? There is a concept in it called 'dimension reduction strike'. Dimensionality reduction strike is undoubtedly the strongest kind of blow, and it is one that has no room to fight back." kind of blow."

"Kodak and SLR, SLR and digital camera...these commercial examples confirm the horror of 'dimension reduction strike'. 'I will destroy you, it has nothing to do with you'! This is the essence of 'dimensionality reduction strike'!"

"Why don't I get involved in the IT industry? Once I get involved, it must indicate that I have fully grasped the strength of 'dimension reduction strike'. Whether it is the reserve of 'creative ideas' or the accumulation of huge capital, I have completed both aspects. .At that time, it will be a good time to harvest the market..."

Wu Xia's blood boiled when he heard it.

Although she could not understand some concepts in Liang Teng's words, she could understand the general meaning.Therefore, I was deeply impressed by Liang Teng's provocative speech.

I feel that Liang Dong's vision has completely surpassed the era of contemporary people.

For his decision, there is no need to refute or verify it, as long as it is carried out without compromise.

After chatting for a while, the store has already prepared the "Sandworm Clam Porridge", "Fish Slice and Crab Meat Porridge", and "Scallop Shrimp Porridge" they ordered.

There were three casserole pots in total, filled with hot seafood porridge, and they were served directly.

Three bamboo mats were placed on the dining table, and three pots of porridge were placed on the three mats.

In addition, I brought three small bowls, a large spoon, and a small spoon, and put them on the table.

It is said that it is three pots of porridge, which is not too big.It doesn't look crowded on the table.Just fill the table.

Although Liang Teng didn't want to show that he was too "mountainous", when he smelled the tangy aroma from those pots of seafood porridge, his mouth was quite disappointing and secretly salivated.

Especially the pot of "King Crab" that he was never willing to eat once in his previous life.

Of course, the "King Crab", which weighs more than a catty, has been "dismembered", chopped into pieces, and cooked directly with millet porridge.

The thumb-thick crab legs are still relatively intact, while the crab body has been cut into more than ten pieces, and the white crab meat is floating in the rice porridge, which is quite large.Like a dollop of cream.

Liang Teng scooped up a bowl of "Fish Slice and Crab Meat Porridge" for Wu Xia. He skipped the crispy carp slices and scooped some crab meat for her.

However, he scooped another bowl for himself, and also scooped up the crab meat first.

How did he know that Wu Xia once got tired of eating meat and crabs for a while, so he specially ordered "Sandworm Clam Congee".

But Liang Dong was so enthusiastic to scoop up the porridge for her himself, so she should eat the crab porridge first.

It's not too late to eat elephant clam porridge later.

Anyway, the small bowl provided by the store is really small.A bowl of porridge can be eaten in no more than ten teaspoons.

How could Liang Teng have Wu Xia's good taste, a person who can get tired of eating "King Crab"? In his eyes, he feels like a person from another world.

Liang Teng clicked his tongue in praise.Eating "crab porridge" is a joy.

Wu Xia didn't pay much attention to eating seafood porridge.

She was still very interested in talking, and continued to talk to Liang Teng: "Since Director Liang clearly knows that he will not get involved in the IT industry in the next three or four years, then I guess you want to enter another industry that will be the most profitable in the next ten years - real estate." business. Right?"

Liang Teng is not surprised that she can guess the direction of his investment.

He smiled and said, "You guessed it right. However, the capital I have now is still not strong enough to get involved in the real estate industry. I dare not call it an 'entering'. At most, it can only be called 'testing the waters'. Test the waters and see." Is the real estate industry as profitable as I expected?"
