Chapter 1062 Heart to Heart
"Do you remember when we went to the street to watch the video?" Xiao Zhijie asked, looking at the high-rise buildings outside.
"It was you who dragged me there," Wang Changning said.
Fortunately, he said it first, and Feng Yiping almost wanted to say, "Of course."
In the original time and space, they went to watch the video together in the Chengguan Video Hall in the county seat, which left a very deep impression on them.
However, although I said I was deeply impressed, I actually can’t remember anything specific. I just remember that it was very thrilling, throbbing, excited, and, well, there was also something “exciting” that I couldn’t say clearly.
I have watched some movies of female celebrities, but I have no impression at all. Please, the focus should not be on the face at all, okay?
In fact, the movie I watched at that time was very weird, but it was really not big in scale, and, as any veteran would know, it had too many soundtracks.
However, for them at the time, the little joy they had had was so satisfying that they often thought about it afterwards, trying to review the past and learn the new.
In a certain sense, it can be said that the video halls that were spread all over the streets in the 1990s can be regarded as an effective supplement to our education system. It is estimated that many people's other kind of enlightenment education was completed in the video halls.
Feng Yiping patted Wang Changning and said, "What's wrong?" Wang Changning was puzzled.
"You answered so quickly, you must have been thinking about it." In fact, what he wanted to say was that if he hadn't answered so quickly, he would have had to spend a lot of time explaining.
This time, when Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning were watching the video in the county video hall, he had been in the city.
"Which female celebrities do you like? Many of them are also in Hong Kong,"
"You two are usually serious and sanctimonious guys," Xiao Zhijie pointed at them and said, "This is what I'm talking about."
He pointed to the high-rise buildings outside the car window and the traffic on the road and said, "At that time, I often saw this area in Central in Hong Kong movies. At that time, I really thought, wow, Hong Kong is so modern, high-end, and rich. Those... People's lives are so good, I really want to live in them."
"But if you look at it now, that's actually the case. In Shanghai and Shenzhen, there are more and more high-rise buildings every year. Look, there are still many such old buildings, and there are not all these cars on the road. It's a luxury car. Buying a car in Hong Kong is cheaper than in the mainland, right?" he asked.
"Yes, the more luxurious cars are, the cheaper they are," Feng Yiping nodded. "Hong Kong is a free trade port. Except for a few specific categories of goods, such as tobacco and alcohol, the import and export of other goods are generally zero-tariff."
"So, the people here are actually not as rich as we thought, right,"
"The current average level is much higher than ours, and the middle class accounts for a large proportion of the total population. If you compare the majority of people here with those driving luxury cars you see on Shennan Avenue, then It’s definitely incomparable,”
"Furthermore, Hong Kong is such a large area. After so many years of construction, public service facilities and institutions can be said to cover everyone, which means the welfare is relatively good,"
Xiao Zhijie shook his head, "I don't think it's much better here now anyway, but," he lowered his voice, "Tell me, do you have a chance to meet Ye Yuqing, Qiu Shuzhen, and Li Lizhen? Come on, why do their names rhyme like this? "
This guy, who just said so much sanctimoniously, turned out to be thinking about this all the time!
Wu Qian in the front row must have heard it, and she consciously plugged her ears with headphones.
"Brother, you have been delayed for several years. They should have gone away to get married and have children long ago."
"Guan Zhilin hasn't retreated yet," Wang Changning added.
"And Michelle Reis," Xiao Zhijie immediately added.
Well, for those born in the 1980s, Hong Kong in their minds is more closely associated with some celebrities.
"Yiping, to be honest, have you ever, ah, you are qualified now, right? Although he is not as handsome as me, he is still a very energetic young man. Many female stars like you the most. Is there anything related to this? "The story?" Xiao Zhijie smirked.
"Don't worry, we promise not to tell Jingping."
"Don't use your villain's heart to judge my gentleman's heart," Feng Yiping slapped him hard, "Be sure to warn Qiuling to always pay close attention to your ideological and political education,"
In fact, when he said this, he felt a little guilty. Well, he currently has nothing to do with female stars in Hong Kong, but accidentally, a future female star in the United States has now become the mother of his son.
As everyone knows, Xiao Zhijie felt a little guilty when he heard what he said, but he thought of Fang Yingzhi again.
…………
"We can finally eat while looking at the night view of Victoria Harbor," Xiao Zhijie raised his glass, "For this, I have to drink a toast."
The balcony outside Feng Yiping's exclusive mansion on the top floor of Hong Kong's Jiasheng Holiday Hotel was arranged like a restaurant, with lights set up around it. There were one male and two female uniformed waiters standing with their hands tied, ready to serve them.
There is a long dining table in the middle, covered with a white tablecloth, with a silver candlestick in the middle, surrounded by water of hard vegetables, such as lobster, abalone, foie gras, steak, caviar... In short, it is very luxurious and very rich. The sense of sight of the second generation of a prodigal family.
In such an internationally renowned metropolis, looking at the thousands of lights around you from above will indeed give you a sense of satisfaction.
"It would be better if there was a beautiful celebrity accompanying me, right," Feng Yiping smiled and raised his glass.
"It's not impossible. Hey, I heard that many celebrities also like to hang out in Lan Kwai Fong. Do you think we can meet one tonight?"
Xiao Zhijie's mentality is really that of a vacation.
"I can't guarantee that,"
"Wander around a lot, maybe you can meet me?" Wang Changning also said with a bit of yearning.
"That depends on luck. I suggest that we drink a toast to this promising new project of ours," Feng Yiping said.
"Cheers to the possibility of meeting a celebrity next time," Wang Changning said...
…………
It was a rare occasion for the three of them to have a meal together again. They had been working hard and tired recently, so they all ate a lot. After finishing the meal, the two of them sat on the sofa with a cup of tea and watched the night view. Feng Yi Ping proactively reminded, "Aren't you going to Lan Kwai Fong?"
"You really want to go clubbing," Wang Changning laughed.
"I lied to you," Xiao Zhijie said, "With your current status, how about going to those places?"
"What's the point?" Feng Yiping said. "The three of us are so young. What does it mean to go to a bar occasionally?"
"Look, we don't know how to drink, we don't know how to dance, we don't know how to talk to girls - even if we do, we wouldn't dare to, and fourth, we can't stand the noisy environment, so why go to a bar?" Wang Changning said.
"It's not just that I don't know how to drink. You're okay with Yiping. When we get to the bar, we don't even know how to order a drink. Isn't that why we bring it to your door and let people scold you? It's good to chat while looking at such a beautiful night view," Xiao Zhijie said .
"You really don't want to go? You really don't have to think about me, it'll be fine,"
"I really don't want to go," the two shook their heads.
"It turns out they are both Ye Gongs who are good at dragons," Feng Yiping pointed at the two of them and smiled. However, this is good. He is actually not used to going to places with feasting and entertainment like bars - although sometimes he still yearns for it.
"Sitting here looking at the scenery now, it feels a bit unreal," Wang Changning said. "Ten years ago at this time, we were still studying in the middle school in a leaky classroom at night, and we had never even been to the county seat."
"It's nothing. In ten years, you will be able to stand in your own building and enjoy the scenery," Feng Yiping said.
"Haha, we definitely can't do it on our own," Wang Changning said.
"There's really no need to say such unreasonable words," Feng Yiping interrupted him, "Most of the people I deal with now are related to interests. You are the only two close friends. I have always thought that the three of us We can work together to do something, and now that you have come up with such a good idea, it really just fulfills my wish,"
"I won't talk about this," Xiao Zhijie said, "Anyway, over the years, from home, to our studies, and even when we find girlfriends, what has Yiping not helped us with? What's the use of saying these things?"
"Yiping, we are really not being polite to you. During the more than half a year since I came to the south, I have had too many feelings and finally realized how difficult it is to do things. That's why I realized how difficult it was for you in the beginning," Wang Changning said.
"Actually, it's really not the case. Just get through the first period. You happen to be in the first period now, so you find it hard. But when you really get to the scale, you don't have to do many things yourself, and it will actually be much easier. "
"You are fooling us again. We all know that the bigger you do, the more things you have to worry about," Xiao Zhijie said, "So the two of us must work hard to share more with you in the future."
"Don't say words like sharing, let's work together,"
"Okay, let's work hard together. It's just one level. There's a question I've always wanted to ask you." Wang Changning paused, "Look, your current net worth, as the saying goes, you can earn more money than you can spend in a few lifetimes, but , Why are you still working so hard now? Besides responsibility, what else drives you to do this? "
"This is actually very simple. Set yourself a more ambitious goal, oh, I can't say ambitious, just a little further, a goal that is more difficult to achieve."
"The first time I came to Hong Kong was with Jingping," Feng Yiping said before they asked, "That night, we stood on the top of the Victoria Peak and looked at the brightly lit place below. In this colorful metropolis, an idea suddenly came to mind. Do you think it is possible to make your home as modern and prosperous as here? "
"I can't guarantee it, but I want to try my best. As a man, in addition to taking care of your own small family, you must also have bigger ideas."
"So, later on, while developing myself, I tried my best to lean towards this aspect,"
"That's wrong. You have already thought this way," Xiao Zhijie said. "From the first time you encouraged your family to go to the provincial capital to sell sugar-fried chestnuts, and later to open a noodle shop, it was actually a business that was easy for everyone to start together."
"It turns out it's not clear yet," Feng Yiping hid, "So I think the first step is to let the people in our village and surrounding villages try not to leave all the old and young at home, like migratory birds. As soon as spring begins, I go all the way to other places to work; then, I want the products in the fields to no longer be just for subsistence, but to have as high an added value as possible."
"That's why you opened so many factories in the town,"
"Yes, I want to do more. The final goal is to hope that those at home can be like us, able to discover opportunities, be good at seizing them, and dare to take action."
"We are still far away from this goal, so how can we not work hard?"
Wang Changning and Xiao Zhijie were silent for a while.
The evening wind blew by, and the noise below and in the distance became a noisy background. Only the whistle coming from an invisible place was still clear.
"Why do I suddenly feel so short in front of you?" Xiao Zhijie said.
"Haha, I just want to make myself look a little more noble,"
"I once thought about what I would do if I had 100 million. After thinking about it, I felt very confused and I was afraid that I would not want to do anything anymore," Wang Changning said, "Hearing you say that, I really feel inferior,"
"In fact, I am not as selfless as you think. Anyway, at the latest, I will retire and enjoy life when I am 40 years old,"
"I think that is the deadline you set to achieve that goal,"
Xiao Zhijie has this ability. He can always hit the point even if he says something casually.
…………
Wang Changning yawned and came out of the room, "Morning, what time did you get up?"
"It's still 6 o'clock. It's rare to sleep in. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Feng Yiping drank milk and sat at the table to read emails, "Oh, you can take a look at this, some information about craigslist sent from Silicon Valley,"
"That's worth a good look," he just looked at it for a few minutes and exclaimed in surprise, "They have such a large website, and now they have only more than 20 employees?"
"Yes, I also find it incredible, but this is not easy to compare. You know that the United States has a complete credit system. The registered users of such websites will at least have driver's license information in their information. If false or malicious information is released, there may be many bad side effects, so they don't need to invest too many resources in information monitoring,"
"That's incredible too. Our current small business has nearly 20 people in total,"
Wu Qian came over with a phone, "Excuse me, Yiping, Luo Xinlan's call,"
"Luo Xinlan? So timely?" Feng Yiping reached out to take it.
"Mr. Feng," Luo Xinlan laughed crisply, "How long can you stay in Hong Kong this time? There is a charity auction tonight, are you interested in participating?"
"Not interested at all," Feng Yiping also said with a smile, but the next words were not so funny, "Mr. Luo is always well-informed, making me feel like I'm always under your nose. Are you reminding me again to replace all the hotel employees as soon as possible?"
ps: I have created a group, 454, 231, 228, welcome everyone to come, give more valuable suggestions, and look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you!
