Ordinary Road 2010

Lin Guoqing was really unwilling to accept it: "We have only lived in this house for a few years, so where does it need to be replaced? Like your mother is hospitalized, we will call you if there is something urgent."

Lin Yi continued to persuasion: "You think so, Dad, now many people know about the money I made, if you continue to live here, others will say that I am not filial."

Lin Guoqing didn't take the initiative to publicize Lin Yi's entrepreneurship, but Yu Xiujuan "unintentionally mentioned" in the community and work units with his "Youth Daily" May [-]th edition last time.

This time, she didn't go out to publicize the fact that the company sold for 2000 million US dollars, but she can definitely remember it after reading the news with a good memory.

Moreover, there are large color photos of Lin Yi's recent interviews, and the neighbors who grew up watching him will definitely recognize him at a glance.

Lin Guoqing didn't let go: "We have been neighbors for so many years, who would chew on this tongue? Even if there is, we don't need to talk to him."

Lin Yi still intends to continue to do Lin's father's work, but Ms. Yu Xiujuan has already interjected: "Lin Yi is right, this house has to be bought."

Lin Guoqing looked at her in surprise, but did not continue to refute. The two of them had agreed not to show differences in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi knew that the two of them must have something to say, so in order to prevent them from changing their minds, he efficiently transferred the money directly to Ms. Yu Xiujuan's bank card.

In 2013, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the renminbi was at a low point, and 100 million US dollars was equivalent to more than 600 million renminbi.

Of course, this amount of money is not enough to live next door to Ma Jieke, but the housing prices in Lin’an at that time were not as exaggerated as after the G20 summit, and it was enough for ordinary people to choose a house they wanted.

At night, Yu Xiujuan was still thinking: "Let's keep a little emergency on hand, take out 500 million and let Xiaohui help us find a house another day, shall we? He must have a good house in his hand for doing this."

She asked this question because Cheng Zihui was a relative of Lin's father, but Lin Guoqing was not in the mood to think about that for the time being.

It just so happens that now that Lin Yi is not here, only their husband and wife are talking at night, so they asked bluntly: "Why did you agree to come down on your own, do you also want to change houses?"

"I won't change houses."

Ms. Yu Xiujuan said confidently: "Do you think I'm so rare? But you haven't heard your son say that he is going to start a business again. Doing business is something that makes money today and loses it tomorrow. Of course, I'm not cursing him, but I can't guarantee it. The 850 million has lost all of the capital this time.”

"We use this sum of money to buy a house. In case, I mean in case, if he loses money and returns to Lin'an, wouldn't it just be reserved for him as a wedding house? At least there is a way out."

She glanced at her husband who had lived with her for decades, and understood his temper to some extent: "When the time comes, you will pay a sum of money to renovate the house, and it will be considered as a little bit of your father's kindness."

Lin Guoqing stopped talking.

"Of course, it would be even better if he went smoothly. After he settles down in the capital, after he and that little Gu get married and start a business, when he comes back to Lin'an to see us, we must have a place to settle down. Otherwise, how can we live with our children? ?”

After this incident, Ms. Yu Xiujuan has already regarded Gu Caiwei as her future daughter-in-law in her heart, and she is very satisfied with her appearance, personality, and family background.

Yu Xiujuan had already considered this, and Lin Guoqing did not express any objection, so the matter was settled.

But Ms. Yu Xiujuan was still thinking:

The idiot just moved away from here. If there were no old neighbors and old workers, who would I find to show off my precious son in the future?

Chapter 360 No matter how big the world is, there is only one home

After Lin Yi returned home, Lin Guoqing called all the Lin family members to have dinner together again. This time, Lin Yi didn't directly confess the truth as he did to his parents, but only said that he had made a lot of money.

At the meeting, Ms. Yu Xiujuan asked Lin Yi's cousin Cheng Zihui to help her find a house worth about 500 million yuan, and the two chatted for a long time on this topic.

Aunt Lin Guofang also asked Cheng Zihui to give up her agency commission and give them a discount from the house price, but Lin Yi refused.

It is considered affection between relatives who are willing to help with their heart. If they don't even give what they should have, and let them work for nothing, it is a bit unreasonable.

It may be because Lin Yi has been promoted to "the most profitable person in the Lin family". This status has greatly improved his family status, and in the end my aunt did not insist anymore.

During this period, Lin Yi asked his uncle Cheng Shengli a lot about the taxi industry, which was rare, and the others were somewhat strange.

Lin Yi didn't explain much, but finally announced: "Mom and Dad, please take a few days off and I'll take you around the capital?"

He didn't do it on a whim, and he thought about it in advance, because with the personality of Lin's father and Lin's mother, except for this house, they probably wouldn't spend the money he gave them.

There is a saying that goes "If a person cannot afford a Lamborghini when he is born, it is a pity that he may never have one in his entire life".

What this means is that even if ordinary people are lucky enough to be able to afford a Lamborghini, unless they are young and rich, they will not spend money in this way when they reach a successful age.

People's consumption habits are deeply ingrained.

Lin Yi raised it on this occasion in the hope that other people would follow suit, but Lin Guoqing subconsciously wanted to refuse. Aunt Lin Guofang said:

"National Day, now that Lin Yi is capable of earning money, it's time for you to enjoy your life. I know you wanted to go to the capital when you were young."

Yu Xiujuan followed suit and said, "You went there last time to send Lin Yi to school. I haven't been to the capital in my life, so just treat it as being with me."

Only then did Lin Guoqing agree.

Lin Yi was very efficient, and settled the air tickets and hotels on the spot. After a day or two, they flew from Xiaoshan Airport to the capital.

But this time I brought a small follower, my cousin Lin Xiaoqian.

My aunt and uncle and their husband and wife both have to go to work, and my cousin Cheng Zihui is also working as a worker, and he is actively looking for housing, so only Lin Xiaoqian, a high school student who is on summer vacation, is with them.

Lin Yi didn't arrange for them to stay in any magnificent five-star hotel, fearing that his parents would scold him for spending money extravagantly, but chose an ordinary hotel with a good reputation and environment.

Of course, he would not take Lin's father and Lin's mother to places like Nanluoguxiang, but ran to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and other scenic spots in the next few days.

According to Father Lin's wish, they got up early to catch up with the flag raising on the square, and they also laid flowers at the Memorial Hall of Great Men.

Lin Guoqing and Yu Xiujuan seldom travel. This time, Lin Yi took a lot of photos of them. Although the craftsmanship was poor, they didn't dislike them.

It wasn't until the last morning when they were discussing the itinerary that Lin's father and Lin's mother proposed to visit Jingdian where he went to school.

The location of the hotel is not far from the school, but he glanced at his cousin at the side and said, "Didn't uncle say that Xiaoqian must go to T University and P University to have a look, saying that it will be good luck in the exam."

Lin Xiaoqian rolled her eyes on the spot: "Don't listen to my dad's nonsense, I didn't even pass the middle school entrance examination, so can I get into T and P universities in the college entrance examination?"

"Brother, it's good to go to your school, I want to see it too."

All right, since Lin Yi didn't object, he brought them to Jingdian's campus.

Jingdian is actually quite small, and there is no special scenery, but Lin's father and Lin's mother still enjoyed watching it, and kept asking him about the details of his life here, while Lin Xiaoqian was mainly interested in his college life.

In fact, because of Lin Yi's entrepreneurial relationship, he has never lived a normal campus life in this life, so he can only talk about it reluctantly using the experience of his previous life.

They also followed Lin Yi to his dormitory to have a look. Out of the three, only Lin Guoqing had been there once, but there was still a big difference between when someone lived and when no one lived.

After walking around for a while, Ms. Yu Xiujuan did not expect Ms. Yu Xiujuan to propose: "Didn't you say that the classmates who started your business with you are also in school, why don't you invite them out to have a meal together? Just let us meet you." good friend."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no reason to refuse, so he said, "Let me ask."

Soon, the four of them met Li Moyan who came alone in the school's restaurant for international students.

Both Lin's father and Lin's mother were very surprised, but they still greeted her kindly. After sitting down, they glanced at Lin Yi and asked, "Didn't you say that there is another roommate who started a business with you?"

Lin Yi replied, "Jianguo has already left the country."

He told Li Jianguo about breaking up with his girlfriend because he was busy with starting a business, and after selling his casual clothes, he decided to go abroad to pursue love, and his senior sister confirmed it.

Ms. Yu Xiujuan was obviously not very interested in this matter, but Lin Guoqing, like Lin Yi back then, thought of something naturally.

Although both of them had doubts, they still finished the light meal politely and thoughtfully, and nothing unusual happened during this period.

The senior sister also said relatively little, and this time she went to the appointment only out of respect for the elders, and she left soon after it was over.

On the way to send them back to the hotel, Lin Xiaoqian asked in a low voice: "Brother, that sister was so beautiful just now, what is your relationship with her?"

Lin Yi replied: "Didn't I tell you? My roommate's cousin, my senior sister from the same school, and my current business partner."

Lin Xiaoqian glanced at him suspiciously. She is a high school student after all, and her cousin has earned a lot of money and is not as close as he was when he was young, so she didn't dare to ask more.

Children have this kind of guessing, and of course parents will not be silent.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Xiaoqian went back to the room first, while Ms. Yu Xiujuan slipped Lin Yiti past, and asked bluntly after entering the door:

"Your roommate has gone abroad, and now only you and his cousin are left. Why didn't you tell us about this before?"

Lin Yi looked calm: "This happened not long ago."

Yu Xiujuan didn't struggle: "Then why didn't you say before that your so-called senior sister is so beautiful?"

She originally thought that Gu Caiwei was the only beauty she had ever seen in her life, but she didn't expect that this son's partner was as good-looking as she was!

"You haven't asked me before, besides, being beautiful is not a shortcoming to be afraid of, is it? You speak as if we have something to shame people."

Yu Xiujuan was at a loss for words, and Lin Yi continued to explain: "Mom, I understand what you mean, but my senior sister and I are just like-minded partners who start a business together. It doesn't make sense to say that Jianguo went abroad, so the two of us can't continue to cooperate, right? "

There was nothing wrong with these words. Ms. Yu Xiujuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Guoqing, and he spoke slowly:

"Lin Yi, your mother and I trust you, but you don't want us to believe this matter. I hope you and Xiao Gu can handle it well."

"Tomorrow, your mother and I will go back to Lin'an. We had a great time in the capital this time, but it's been too long since we came out this time."

"Lin Yi, I hope you remember that no matter how big the world is, we only have one home."

Chapter 361 Let's Break Up

Lin Yi returned to Lin'an with his parents, and stayed at home for another two days. After reporting to Lin's parents and Lin's mother, he went to Shanghai as agreed with Gu Caiwei.

He didn't immediately meet Xiao Gu, who was preparing to debut, but met her boss, Peng Yuchen, in a sparsely populated cafe near the company.

This place was chosen by Peng Yuchen. It seems that not only did she not want Lin Yi to appear in the company, but she was also careful not to be heard by others, so she chose the most remote corner of the store.

In any case, Lin Yi greeted her first: "Long time no see, Mr. Peng."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Peng Yuchen has been sizing up Lin Yi since he came in, and he still couldn't take his eyes off him until he sat down opposite, so Lin Yi had to ask first:

"President Peng doesn't recognize me?"

Peng Yuchen actually nodded: "I really can't recognize you. I have been observing just now. How are you different from the boy I saw at the Golden Arch in Lin'an almost two years ago."

Lin Yi knew that she was definitely not talking about appearance, because she was no different from her senior year in high school, and there would be no change in her attire.

"Did Mr. Peng find anything?"

"One thing, I think you are more confident."

A person's mental state can be expressed through tone of voice, facial expression, body movements and even walking gait.

For people like Peng Yuchen, observing others anytime and anywhere is not only a skill, but also an instinct.

Lin Yi was noncommittal and asked, "Did I not have confidence before?"

Peng Yuchen recalled that the first time he saw him, he felt a little weird, and although he had never discussed Lin Yi's attitude on Gu Caiwei's trainee with the Gu family's mother and daughter, it was also possible It was seen that he at least had no objection.

For a high school student, if this choice is not due to ignorance, I am afraid that it cannot be called "not confident" anyway, but it is close to arrogance.

Peng Yuchen did not say these words, but asked back: "What do you think?"

Lin Yi replied: "I think it's more determined than more confident."

Peng Yuchen savored the word firmness, and then said: "I asked Xiao Gu to tell you that I wanted to see you in June, but I haven't seen you until now. Lin Yi is very difficult to make an appointment."

Lin Yi didn't feel embarrassed, because of the friendship between the two of them, they didn't have the obligation to keep the appointment, and they were willing to come today entirely because of Gu Caiwei.

"Gu Caiwei told me the first time, but I was busy with other things at the time, and I just found time. And Mr. Peng told me to come and visit before debut, so I don't think it's too late today."

Peng Yuchen didn't worry about this, and he didn't seem too anxious to talk about business, but asked: "I heard from Xiao Gu that you started a business in college. Are you busy with this recently?"

"Yes."

There is nothing to hide about this. To some extent, Lin Yi came here today to let Peng Yuchen know about it.

"In fact, it didn't start recently. I started a business with two classmates when I first entered university. It has been nearly a year."

Peng Yuchen seemed to be interested in this topic, and asked, "What did you do?"

Lin Yi asked first: "It's a food delivery website. I wonder if Mr. Peng has ever ordered food on the website or with a mobile app?"

Peng Yuchen replied: "I don't have one myself, but it seems that the young people in the company have used it."

Lin Yi explained: "The principle of what we do is very simple, that is, to transfer the original traditional food delivery business to the website, and connect online and offline through the Internet, creating convenience for both producers and consumers. "

Peng Yuchen's evaluation is: "The simpler the business, the bigger the opportunity. The A factory of Ma Jieke is not complicated in principle."

"The most remarkable thing about successful people is often not their imagination, but their ability to turn their dreams into reality."

She added in her mind: plus luck.

Although he is not a colleague, Peng Yuchen can also be regarded as a senior in the business world. Lin Yi reluctantly took this as a compliment, and then he introduced his experience in the past year.

"We started preparations in September last year, and then launched a trial run in our school in October, and covered all colleges and universities in Beijing last winter."

"At the beginning of this year, we received $100 million in financing from professional venture capital institutions, and expanded to nine important cities across the country."

Peng Yuchen nodded, and suddenly changed his tone and asked: "But I heard that you have sold this website, right?"

Lin Yi hadn't introduced the part where they sold the casual food delivery network. Peng Yuchen's words clearly revealed that she was definitely not ignorant of this, at least she came prepared.

But knowing is normal, these are public information.
