I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 41 041. It’s good to have a baby, but when you die, someone will kneel in the funeral shed

Go back in time, an hour and a half ago.

Xu Daqiang was sitting in the private room of the tea house, looking at the tea master who was making tea for him rather unscrupulously.

The tea sommelier wearing a traditional Chinese cheongsam is naturally good-looking.

only……

When the middle-aged rich man's eyes fell on the other person's chest, he showed a slightly disappointed look.

But he didn't say anything. He was holding a cigarette and watching the news on the WAP network on his mobile phone.

Soon, a call came to Li Hao's cell phone.

After Li Hao responded a few times, he covered the phone and said:

"Uncle, that person is here."

"Well, then you go pick it up."

"good."

Li Hao walked out, and soon, two men who looked to be around forty years old came in with polite smiles.

When he saw Xu Daqiang, the slightly fatter middle-aged man put his hands together and bowed:

"Haha, Brother Xu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Hearing this, Xu Daqiang waved his hands and looked casually:

"It's so similar."

Then, he set his sights on the middle-aged man with glasses and short hair behind him.

"Old board, right?"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the middle-aged man surnamed Gu quickly took a step forward and took Xu Daqiang's hand in a lower posture:

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm Gu Yongqiang. It's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you."

But this time, Xu Daqiang’s attitude was much more enthusiastic:

"Oh, don't be so polite. Come, come, sit, sit, sit."

After inviting the two of them to sit down, he started to smoke.

The fat man took it, but Gu Yongqiang took it politely, picked up the lighter on the table and bent down to light Xu Daqiang's cigarette.

Xu Daqiang waved his hand again:

"Ah, I told you, don't be so polite. Do it yourself~"

"Well……"

This time, Gu Yongqiang was a little unsure.

This one...is a little too polite.

Could it be that... he's not the rightful owner?

That's not right, the real owner's surname is Xu...

Gu Yongqiang is here today just to attract investment. Or in other words, the investor next to him told him that there is an investor here who wants to invest in your project, so come and meet him.

Gu Yongqiang is naturally happy.

Because everyone who works on the Internet actually knows that running a website, whether it is space, bandwidth, servers, etc., actually requires real money.

Not to mention anything else, just assuming servers in various places is a big expense.

Fortunately, he had already obtained an initial amount of capital.

It was his former boss, Sohu founder Zhang Zhaoyang, who used his connections to help him raise three million US dollars.

Logically speaking, it's enough.

But it's just enough, and some places still have to live a tight life.

But the three million is not without cost...

After he resigned as president and CEO of Sohu, although his boss helped him raise start-up capital, he didn't know who spread the word that he had prepared a project. The project... was a little dirty, and then the investment threshold was raised. It’s also very high, starting from 10 million.

The so-called uncleanness refers to messy things like theft of ideas that are common among Internet companies.

But the problem is that Gu Yongqiang has resigned as the president of Sohu for more than a year in order to accompany his wife to study in the United States.

Where does the term "unclean" come from?

As for the 10 million threshold, it is even more outrageous.

It is precisely because of this rumor that no one is interested in his project at all. When he took the initiative to look for investment, some investment companies would also take into account Sohu's current momentum. They were really afraid that the project was not clean and would offend the other party, so they gave him Money is just a decent thing.

Although this can raise money, the problem is... Gu Yongqiang himself came from Sohu. Sohu went public in the United States in 2000. Before the listing, due to continuous losses, the board of directors at the time almost sidelined Zhang Zhaoyang, and even went so far as to hold a secret board of directors to replace Zhang Zhaoyang.

If the former boss hadn't found the company's largest shareholder and convinced him thoroughly, then Sohu would still have no idea what his last name was.

Therefore, from that time on, Gu Yongqiang firmly believed that his company should first not have "various" shareholders, and secondly, never give these shareholders great rights.

So his idea is doomed that he will not be favored by many investors, because the Internet cake... is too big. Shareholders who are accustomed to making huge profits simply cannot stand his restrictive conditions. When people invest in you, they want to make money. Who will give you money and treat it like a grandson?

Coupled with this inexplicable "ten million" rumor, he now feels a bit in a dilemma.

But at this moment, the investor next to him suddenly said that he wanted to introduce a rich man to him, and this rich man was not an investor. Moreover, when people hear that they invest thousands of dollars, they don’t care at all...

Then here comes the problem.

If he's not an investor, why is he looking for me?

It doesn't matter if you have money or not. If someone can make an appointment with you after "hearing" about your so-called "investment threshold", it means that you are at least sincere and will not take advantage of you.

But what exactly is this person going to do? Gu Yongqiang is actually confused in his heart.

In the midst of such doubts, the tea master brought the tea. The fat middle-aged man next to him served as the introducer and said to Xu Daqiang with a smile:

"Brother Xu, did you have a good profit last year? Last year's coal consumption seemed to be more than 900 tons per ton?"

"That's great~ do whatever you want."

Xu Daqiang smiled and waved his hand:

"I just earn hard money, but it can't be compared with intellectuals like you. You rely on your brains, but you can only rely on your efforts."

"Hahaha, what Brother Xu said, brother, I am really ashamed of myself."

The fat middle-aged man said and looked at Gu Yongqiang:

"Brother Xu is engaged in industrial coal mining. With his strength... Needless to say, it is easy to buy half of Yanjing City."

"..."

Gu Yongqiang's mouth twitched...

Xu Daqiang also rolled his eyes:

"Qiu! Still half of it... It's hard to buy a toilet... Go and go, every day it's not like Brother Xu is rich, but Brother Xu is rich in minerals... That's an old guy."

"Mr. Xu, please don't be so polite. Just call me Yongqiang or Xiaogu."

"Oh, that won't work. I'm a scholar, not that... old American student studying abroad?"

"Well……"

Xu Daqiang didn't speak Mandarin...or to be more precise, northern Shaanxi Mandarin, so it was a bit difficult for him to listen.

I didn’t know how to reply for a while.

Just keep smiling.

Xu Daqiang flicked the ash from his cigarette and continued:

"I also want to send my baby to study abroad... I don't like him, because he can't get used to eating those steaks. Now he is studying in that... film school, and my husband likes him quite a lot."

"Well……"

Gu Yongqiang was a little confused.

His son has just entered junior high school...and hasn't gone to college yet.

Although I can understand Mr. Xu's concern for his son, but... I have never heard of any famous university in China named "Film School"?

Where did Pheasant University come from?

And... shouldn't we talk about investment and prospects?

Why did you pick up the child?

"Yongqiang."

"Well……"

"How old is Nidi Baby?"

"……twelve."

"Twelve? Oh, Xiaodi is so cool."

Xu Daqiang waved his hand:

"It's almost time for me to be difficult to lead. In the next two years, I want to follow you and fight against me every day. It's unreasonable to be difficult to control!"

"Uh... Indeed, now my son has entered a rebellious stage. How do you deal with it, Mr. Xu?"

"Response? Respond to Sawa? If he doesn't obey, whip him with a belt!"

Xu Daqiang obviously sneered at Gu Yongqiang's ideas, and said based on his own experience in educating his two sons:

"Baby is not afraid of being beaten, you know? If he doesn't obey, you'll slap him! ... But it's not like a fatal blow, you just hit him on the back and gouge the buttocks. The beating won't hurt, but it still hurts. I can't remember one time, Hit him twice, don’t remember twice, hit him three times! Hit him if he dares to be bad! Hit him if he talks back to his teacher at school! If he doesn’t study hard... Oh, it doesn’t count if he doesn’t study well, and he doesn’t care if he gets along with someone else. Anyway, other things, he If you dare to beg for eight liang (argument), beat him! ... If you beat him and kill a sheep to eat, everything will be fine. Especially boys, if you don’t beat him, you won’t be a genius~"

"..."

To be honest, Gu Yongqiang is a little confused now.

Because he really didn't know what this person was talking about. On the one hand, it was a bit difficult to listen, and on the other hand... Brother, aren't we here to talk about investment?

Even if it's just polite, it's time to get down to business now, right?

You always talk about Nididi babies... No, what are your children doing?

Even though we are talking like this, it sounds like this person is quite real...

But……

When I was speechless and wondering if there was something in the other person's words, I suddenly heard the big boss sigh quietly:

"But... Ni also needs to let the baby know that Ni Di is tired~ Do you understand? In this way, the baby will be taught to be filial and will not learn bad things or go astray~"

"Well……"

"How many children are there in the Ni family?"

Gu Yongqiang understood this and said:

"one."

"Ah! One is not enough! When you die in the future, will you let a child kneel in the mourning shed for you?"

"Well……"

Brother, why are we talking about kneeling in the mourning shed again?

"I'm giving birth to a baby. Listen, I'm giving birth to a baby. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll stay with my brother for good company."

"..."

Don't tell me yet.

Although it feels a bit ridiculous.

But Gu Yongqiang gradually became a little kind to this big boss who seemed to have the temperament of an ordinary farmer when he met him for the first time.

If nothing else, at least compared to the abominable appearance of those investors when talking about interests, this kind of down-to-earth speech is really comfortable to listen to.

So, he smiled and nodded:

"Well, you have reminded me that I have to go back and discuss it with my lover... If I really want it then, please come and have a drink, Mr. Xu."

"If you want to drink, you must drink."

Xu Daqiang was also happy, but he didn't know whether he liked children or drinking wedding wine.

After taking out the cigarettes from the cigarette case and scattering them, he said:

"Short of money?"

"..."

Gu Yongqiang's hand that lit the cigarette suddenly trembled.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked at the man whose eyes were hidden in the smoke...

Maybe it's that good feeling, or maybe it's something else.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded:

"Um."

"How much is missing?"

"……good."

"It's okay, but how much is missing?"

"..."

Gu Yongqiang took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, sat up slightly and said:

"The more, the better. But...Mr. Xu...you are an honest person, and I will not play tricks with you. My company, I only accept investments, but I will not give away any authority to manage it. Shareholders I only enjoy the right to dividends, and if the subsequent shareholder equity is sold, I will be the first repurchase party..."

"Oh, don't say such incomprehensible words. Do you want ten million?"

"Yes!...Of course I do, but..."

"Okay, then I'll invest 10 million."

"..."

No, brother, what are we talking about?

You...are you going to vote now?

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Xu Daqiang waved his hand:

"I've been friends with Jianjun for many years. He said that Nidi Internet is good and he won't lie. He said... if you really want to lie, spending 10 million to identify this person seems like a good deal."

Hearing this, the fat middle-aged man on the side smiled and nodded.

Obviously agree with this sentence.

I was a little flattered...

Obviously these words were a bit false, but these words helped him establish his "prestige" in front of Gu Yongqiang.

Just when Gu Yongqiang was still in a daze, he saw that Mr. Xu's expression suddenly changed and became extremely serious:

"But there is a request...do you want to listen?"

"..."
