Chapter 985 Year 30 (Part 2)
Pang Di was confused when she heard Zhang Pingan and his mother talking about investment. She knew about the products of the mother and son, but she couldn't understand a lot of what they said. OFO, the yellow car, is quite common on the streets of Shanghai. It has even gone abroad to Europe and the United States, but why did Zhang Pingan say that this company is "cheating money"?
And the word "sharing" in recent economic discussions is the least worthwhile project in Zhang Pingan and her mother's casual chat? And the story behind the currently popular "avocado" is full of blood and rain in Zhang Pingan and her mother's story. Some products that Pang Di is familiar with have different interpretations in their eyes.
Pang Di realized that the world is different when you are in a different position. Standing in the dining room, Zhang's father kneaded the dough, and the whole family went to make dumplings. The fillings are matsutake, fresh shrimp, cabbage, and beef. Matsutake is only used a little to increase the aroma. Pork should be more delicious, but Pang Di can't eat pork, so he changed to beef.
Zhang's father was in charge of rolling the dough, while Zhang's mother took the dumpling skin and filled it with stuffing. With a pinch of her hands, a dumpling was formed. Zhang Ping'an and Pang Di could not catch up with Zhang's mother in making dumplings. Zhang Ping'an pinched the skin along the way, which made Zhang's mother shake her head: "Okay, okay, you two don't help anymore, go and have a rest. The dumplings you made...will fall apart when you cook them later." Zhang Ping'an smiled and did not insist on helping here. If he didn't have the skills, he shouldn't get involved. Back in the living room, Zhang Pingan picked up the pistachios on the table and peeled them. Pang Di also picked up an orange and ate it. At this time, she asked curiously: "Aren't we talking about the 'sharing economy' now? And many people are investing, right? Why do you think this is a game of passing the parcel?"
Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Are you interested in investment?"
Pang Di smiled and shook his head and said: "No, just chatting casually. I just can't figure out the reason. Now the Internet, TV, and all aspects are talking about the 'sharing economy'. Why is it a scam in your eyes?"
Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "The shared products are different, so the effects of this 'sharing' are different. Investors need to analyze a certain product. , you can find the hidden dangers. Have you visited a shared office? I have. The facilities are very complete, but is it really suitable for office work? Not necessarily, because it is "shared", so it is very noisy inside, and you can't work quietly even if you want. It is possible that when you need to work quietly, people in the office next to you are on the phone, shouting loudly, etc. "After listening to Zhang Ping'an's analysis, Pang Di said puzzledly: "Since there are so many disadvantages, why are there so many people optimistic about this project?" Zhang Ping'an said: "This is the so-called 'pass the parcel'. This year, my mother's company invested in OFO's 'A+'. When they raise the company's market value and raise funds next year, they can choose to sell it and the shares in their hands will be It means that we hype up the market value of your company in the early stage, and then trick "newcomers" to invest. They only make a wave of money and withdraw steadily. Those who come in later will find that this so-called sharing is a bottomless pit, and they will look for the next one to take over. In this way, the market value of the company is pushed up, and then... it is impossible to trick newcomers, or the investors will cut off the capital chain when they cannot see the return on investment. So one of the links is "storytelling", and as the CEO of the company, you must be an excellent storyteller. "
Pang Di didn't understand storytelling in investment at all, so she tilted her head and asked: "Why do you say it is storytelling?"
Zhang Ping'an smiled and explained to Pang Di: "It means telling you the company's future vision and how the company should change human beings Life,
However, what is lacking at present is money. Isn't this just telling a story? They tell investors about their best visions, so that everyone thinks that your business is promising, and then someone will pay for it. In fact, "any good vision" requires a lot of capital investment. Didn't Apple say that technology changes life? However, the core of technology is to keep burning money for research. Compared with the "sharing economy", future intelligence is the real core of the industry. "
Pang Di listened to the message from Zhang Pingan like a curious baby, and she tilted her head and said, "Future intelligence?"
Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "You shouldn't study at Shanghai Theatre Academy, you should study at Tsinghua University or Peking University."
.......
For lunch, Zhang Pingan's family sat around the dining table and ate dumplings. A little rice vinegar and a little chili oil are the essence of dumplings. It was the first time that Pang Di ate dumplings with matsutake as the seasoning filling. After biting a dumpling in the mouth, the first thing he felt was its delicious soup, and then the special mushroom aroma of matsutake... The combination of shrimp and beef, this dumpling is really delicious.
After lunch, Zhang Pingan took Pang Di to visit his room, and then they drove out to go shopping. On New Year's Eve, the mall was much quieter than usual. The two simply bought some clothes, spring clothes, clothes to change tomorrow, and then returned home.
The New Year's Eve dinner was served, and the TV was playing the "Spring Festival Gala". The family gathered together and had this New Year's Eve dinner warmly.
Zhang Ping'an drank a few glasses of wine with his father. Later, the father and son talked over the wine at the dinner table. Because the dishes were cold and both of them were full, they didn't bother to heat the dishes. Just like that, drinking wine slowly, chatting slowly about the sky, before you know it, when the countdown to the "Spring Festival Gala" appeared, Zhang Pingan's mobile phone started to become lively.
The lunar calendar ushered in the new year amidst the fireworks celebrations on TV. Zhang's mother took out a red envelope and gave it to Zhang Pingan. Zhang Pingan opened the red envelope and saw that it was an old version of RMB, ranging from one cent to one hundred. . When he was a child, Zhang Pingan received these old coins as lucky money during the Chinese New Year. Zhang Ping'an smiled and handed it to his father: "Father, save it for me. This is very meaningful."
Father Zhang reached out and took the old set of coins and said with a smile: "Okay, I will help you put them in the collection room."
Fat Di's Spring Festival gift was a bright red jewelry box. This bright red color has a Chinese flavor. Fat Di opened the box and looked inside to find a pair of earrings. The pendants of the earrings exuded transparent green jadeite the size of a fingernail shell.
Zhang Ping'an smiled and said to Fatty: "Put it on and take a look."
Fat Di nodded and took off her earrings, then put on the emerald earrings given to her by Zhang's mother. Her Western-style appearance paired with the emerald earrings was very beautiful. Fatty quickly put up her hair, revealing these exquisite earrings, and then thanked Zhang's mother.
If it is an emerald bracelet, it will definitely be very expensive, but earrings the size of a fingernail are really not expensive for Zhang's mother.
The things Zhang's mother gave out were all very thoughtful. Whether it was Taeyeon and Pani who received gifts the year before, or Pang Di at this time, the gifts were all exquisite.
"Unforgettable Tonight" was sung on TV, Zhang's mother and Zhang's father were also preparing to take a rest, and Zhang Pingan and Pang Di also went upstairs to sleep.
In bed at night, Fatty said: "Peace, such a precious gift..."
"It's okay, just have a good rest."
"Yeah." Although Zhang Ping'an said it was okay, Fatty still felt a little inexplicable in her heart. The pair of earrings seemed to wrap around her heart. When she accepted the gift, it was like she was sure she belonged to this family.
Thinking back on everything today, she felt a little inexplicable. When she remembered the Spring Festival bells, she had a video call with her family. However, their Uyghur language was incomprehensible to Zhang Ping'an's family.
Fatty said in the video that he was dating a very stable boyfriend and that he would not come back to his home for the New Year this year. Pang Di didn't say 'Zhang Pingan' carefully, maybe he thought it wasn't the right time yet. After all, 'Zhang Pingan' can be found on Du Niang.
The night seems to be very long, for the insomniac Fatty. Zhang Ping'an fell asleep quickly, and she always felt that her spirit was very clear, but her mind was very messy, her thoughts were thinking about this and that...
.......
On the first day of the New Year, Pang Di woke up from a very comfortable sleep. There was no one in the place next to Zhang Ping An. Fat Di has been living with Zhang Pingan during this period, and he is used to Zhang Pingan not being around when he wakes up in the morning, because he has to go out to exercise or make breakfast.
Fatty picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and checked the time. When he saw it, it was close to eleven o'clock at noon. Fatty was so frightened that he sat up from the bed. On weekdays, Zhang Pingan would wake her up for breakfast, but today Zhang Pingan didn't wake her up. This made Fatty complain about Zhang Ping'an very much. It would be fine if he didn't wake her up at his own home, but this was his parents' home. If she didn't wake up until this time, wouldn't it give his family the impression that she was lazy?
Fatty got up in a hurry to wash up. She changed into the clothes she bought yesterday and went downstairs. Zhang's mother, Zhang's father, and Zhang Ping'an all gathered in the living room to drink tea and chat. After Pang Di went downstairs, he sent a laser beam towards Zhang Ping'an, and then said apologetically to Zhang's father and mother: "I'm really sorry for getting up late."
Mother Zhang smiled and said: "Hahaha, what's there to be sorry for? Young people work hard and rarely have holidays to rest, so they must sleep more. In the past, when we were in our twenties, we didn't want to get up in the winter. ah."
Zhang's mother knew about Pang Di's insomnia because Zhang Ping'an told her mother after getting up in the morning. She tossed and turned him up several times last night. So Zhang Pingan didn't wake her up today, just to let her sleep for a while.
Zhang's mother said: "Sit down and rest for a while. We will prepare lunch soon. After eating, you two will go play."
