Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

In the next two days, the parents had a lot of fun, but they couldn't stand how their son spent money like water. Every time he spent money, the couple's heart bleeds.

I made an appointment with my uncle on the phone and went to visit him with a box of wine and two cigarettes. My uncle's family lived in a work-related building on Wanshou Road. The building was relatively old and the living space was small. The uncle laughed at himself and said that although he was said to be a great big shot in his hometown, in fact, a small division chief like him swept away a large area and only got this small house after working for several years.

The two brothers have been together little and apart for many years, but have little to say. On the other hand, the two sisters had a lively chat. Although their parents were short-lived, although they had different accents, they couldn't stop the passionate love between them. Although they were far apart, they were still connected by blood. During dinner, my uncle booked a private room in a nearby hotel. After a few glasses of wine, the brothers The two of them talked more.

But the two people obviously couldn't talk together. The younger brother wanted to talk to his elder brother about the hardships in his official career in the past few years, while the elder brother was talking about how many acres of land he had planted in the past few years and how much the harvest had increased.

The younger brother wanted to establish a higher image in front of his wife, while the older brother kept making trouble, unscrupulously recounting all the mischief they had done in their hometown when they were young, and even asked his brother in front of his wife whether his younger brother was still alive. Remember that so-and-so who wrote love letters to people?

Apparently the channels the two brothers chatted on were a bit mixed.

Gao Hongda's aunt is a teacher and a very weak woman. The two uncles have very similar personalities. They are both gentle and elegant. Their twin sons, Hongxing and Hongguang, two teenage boys, are not so. Even though they were elegant, they had no business speaking at all when the adults spoke. They were not interested in the topics the adults talked about, and they were not very familiar with the cousin in front of them. What else could they do besides eating?

As an aunt, my mother did not dig into Soso this time. The red envelope of 2 yuan for each child is quite generous. Of course, this is what Gao Hongda has explained in advance. Don’t be stingy. Otherwise, according to the My parents' psychological expectation is that the most they can give me is 200 yuan. After some pushing and shoving between the sisters-in-law, the aunt was defeated and had to accept it.

The two old brothers finally turned the topic to Gao Hongda from their awkward chat, and mentioned his life and death situation in the past two days. When his uncle blamed him for not informing him, they were also curious about his source of funds. They couldn't help but He also asked more questions.

This time, Gundam pretended to be honest and said: "I didn't mean to deceive my parents. If I tell them about venture capital, they will definitely not understand. They will definitely ask me which one is southeast, northwest or northwest. I worked on an investment plan with a few classmates. We received more than 100 million investment from a venture capital company. At first, they thought we were just kids playing house. Later, they inspected our first pilot project and became interested in us. Now our team is actively developing new products. The market is also expanding. If everything goes well, it will not be a problem to open 100 chain stores across the country within a year. The market is still mainly concentrated in or near university cafeterias, after all, the customer flow there is relatively stable."

Dad looked disdainful: "Oh, you just go to school and go to school. Why are you doing all these messy things? Doesn't it delay school?"

The uncle interrupted him and said: "Boss, you have never been to college. You don't know at all. Entrepreneurship among college students is a trend now and is also advocated by the country. College is not like primary school and junior high school where you only learn to read books. If I tell you Xiaoda can fall in love freely in school, what do you think you will do?"

“咋办？凉拌！谈恋爱耽误上学，属于不务正业，他要是谈恋爱了我肯定要揍他！”老爸斩钉截铁的回答。

The uncle laughed and looked very helpless: "Let me tell you, you are behind the times! The child is an adult now, so don't be so lenient anymore!"

Mom helped from the side: "Yes, why are you meddling in so many other things? We don't understand the affairs of college students at all now. If you don't understand, don't get involved. Just dig out your dirt."

The uncle agreed this time and explained to his brother and sister-in-law what venture capital was. It was a group of rich people who had money but didn’t know how to spend it. They gave their money to others to invest and make money. The parents felt relieved and just told their son to invest. Don't lose everything to others.

When the conversation got down to business, Gao Hongda asked his uncle for help and said: "I want to develop a milk tea project. This product has low cost and huge market potential. However, the current chemicals and finished products on the market do not taste good and have a single variety. It is just a street stall." It's okay to sell it for a piece of eight anise, but it's definitely not up to the grade. I wonder if you have any connections and can you find a unit that does food research and development to cooperate with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle patted the table excitedly and said, "What a coincidence. One of my classmates is a professor at the Agricultural University, specializing in the research and development of food additives. I will take you to him tomorrow."

Sure enough, if you have connections, things will be easier to do.

The uncle continued: "Although I don't have much power in the capital, I still have a group of classmates and friends. Those of our age who are still hanging around in the capital have basically achieved something, and usually don't ask for anything. I am willing to show my face. , this face should be of some use."

Gao Hongda stood up and toasted: "To put it bluntly, if you have spare money, you can invest in us. We will get dividends every quarter."

Dad suddenly became unhappy: "What are you talking about as a bastard? Are you asking your uncle to borrow money? Do you want to be beaten?"

Auntie hurriedly came to the rescue and said softly: "Brother, don't be angry. If the child has an idea, we should support it, regardless of whether we should pay dividends or not. Auntie still has a deposit of [-] to [-] yuan, and she is not in a hurry to buy a house anyway. At this time, Xiaoda will take it first and return it to us if we make money. If we don’t make money, we will treat it as lost."

Gao knew that with the current salary level of the two of them, it would take them two years of frugality to save the [-] to [-] yuan, so he quickly thanked his aunt: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your support, I am not a child anymore." , I know very well that there is gold everywhere in this era. People of your generation do not have the courage to go to the sea and have missed the best opportunity. This time should be the first and best opportunity of this century. Standing on the opportunity, pigs can take off. .”

Dad looked disgusted: "See what you can do, you mean that I am a useless father!"

The uncle patted his father's arm to tell the elder brother not to lose his temper, and then talked about the topic of the storm with his nephew: "I have been to Germany for inspection. They regard the mechanical processing and automobile industry as the future industries in the next 20 years. As for the focus of development, where do you think our domestic outlet is?"

Gao Hongda answered straightforwardly: "The Internet, mobile phones, electronic technology, smart electronics, etc. are all hot industries in the future. Because our country started relatively late, we will accumulate accumulated experience. Once it explodes, the market potential will be huge." Imagine, especially the Internet. Although I am not familiar with this major, it does not affect my optimism in this field. My plan is to engage in Internet and software after completing the business layout of the traditional catering industry. "

The more my uncle listened, the more excited he became, and the expression on his face was about to explode: "Your uncle, I majored in electronic technology. That's because when I was a kid, I saw people repairing radios on the street who were very good at repairing radios. Unfortunately, after graduation, I was admitted to the work unit. Professional stuff Throw it all away, but it won’t stop me from being optimistic about the development of this area. Your opinion is the same as the survey results of our unit. Now our country has shortcomings in this area and at the same time there is a huge market, but the threshold for this industry is expected to be very high. .”

Gao Hongda seemed very confident: "It used to be said that food is not eaten in one bite, but the road must be walked step by step, but this kind of statement is no longer realistic in modern times. If we simply rely on the primitive accumulation of funds, put aside the risks in the process. , by the time sufficient capital is accumulated, the storm may have passed.”

The three men clinked glasses in silence and drank a glass of wine.

The uncle said: "You mean that we must seek financing from the capital market in the future?"

"Yes, it's not just financing, it's also a process of integrating resources. It's a bit too early to say this now. Let's get the situation in front of us sorted out first." He said this not because he was pragmatic, but because he was really making up. I can’t go on anymore. The limited knowledge reserve in my mind can only be limited to selling rice noodles and milk tea. As for the Internet, electronic technology, smart electronics and other things, I only learned them from some chicken soup videos in later generations and used them as It's enough to improve your skills as a conversation starter. As for how to implement it, only the devil knows.

The uncle and nephew toasted again and again, as if they had met their close friends. The others were speechless because they really couldn't understand. Finally, when they mentioned the search engine, my father said, "I know about the engine, it's just like a tractor engine."

The uncle and nephew laughed, and the father was puzzled: "What, what I said is wrong?"

"Dad, it's different from what you said. If you install a tractor head as an engine in the computer, do you think that would be appropriate? You should go back and study the second and fourth walls!" As soon as he finished speaking, the back of his head Got a slap.

Dad pretended to be angry: "If I hadn't built bricks and walls for you to go to school, you wouldn't have had the chance to look down on me here."

The uncle intervened: "Brother, our era is about to pass, let them young people toss around. Let's drink."

The aunt went out to pay the bill on an excuse. When she came back, she told her uncle that Xiaoda had paid the bill in advance. The uncle got angry and slapped him on the forehead and cursed: "You little thing, this is my home, and you are the guests." , where is your turn to pick up."

Gao Hongda's mother hurriedly explained: "We are still a family, why are you so rude? If you say this, I won't dare to come next time!"
