Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 34 Chatting and Laughing
"Who is your son's favorite movie star?"

"Who is your son's favorite singer? You should know this, right? You don't know anything about this, hahahaha. As a father, you really are..."

Li Yuqian picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea silently, his eyes flickering. He put the cup down and said, "Then your daughter's favorite..."

Tang Rui on the other side said confidently, "My daughter's favorite star is Jay Chou, her favorite actress is Joey Wong, and her favorite actor is Leon Lai..."

Tang Qiaoning pinched her father under the table.

Li Xu glanced at Tang Qiaoning with some surprise. Why did this girl always like celebrities from the previous generation? Good god...

Li Yuqian really couldn't ask any other questions this time.

At this point in the dinner, Tang Rui had already overpowered Li Yuqian in terms of momentum. He boasted to him smugly, "See, what I just said... You should get to know your child better when you go back, hahaha..."

After hearing this, Li Yuqian did not refute as usual, but slowly took a bite of the food, nodded and said: "That makes sense..." The topic was thus passed.

Li Xu kept his head down and ate silently most of the time. The three fathers mainly led the topic. He would raise his head and say a few words only after one or two questions were raised. He had no intention of showing off. Generally speaking, he was humble and decent. As time went on, in the middle and later stages, as businessmen, they naturally talked about financial matters.

When several adults started talking about this topic, they unconsciously excluded the three children. The conversation was in full swing. Li Xu tilted his head and listened to their conversation carefully, secretly shocked in his heart... Many of their views on the future trend were consistent with the subsequent development of the situation. Some of the content they talked about was even inside information that Li Xu, who had experienced the later life, did not know.

At this moment, he realized more deeply that if the time traveler had no ability, it would be useless just to know which important time nodes there would be in the future... Ordinary people could not participate at all, and a lot of news from the outside world was really just old news to them.

More importantly, when an ordinary person travels back in time, he can only see the external appearance, while the real situation inside is still unclear.

My father and his colleagues are far from being truly big entrepreneurs, and their business is only ranked among the best in the province... You can imagine how powerful those well-known trendsetters of the era are.

Among them, Tang Rui said something that resonated deeply with him: "We are a generation that has benefited from the dividends of the times. We are very lucky, but our next generation will grow up slowly in the future, and there will not be much left for them. We can make a fortune by luck, but the next generation needs vision and ability. These things are indispensable..."

The three juniors had no say in these topics, but their reasons were different. Li Xu felt that his knowledge was too shallow and it was best to listen in such situations. Tang Qiaoning simply didn't speak because she was not interested in these topics. But Wei Feng was different... He deliberately suppressed his desire to express himself.

But as time went by, Wei Feng gradually forgot his father's advice. Just at this time, Tang Rui brought up a new topic: entrepreneurial projects.

Li Yuqian wasn't interested in starting a business. He paused for a moment before saying, "From the current perspective, the market our company is targeting is still a promising growth market. With the development of the social economy, the market will continue to grow. It would be great if we could cultivate this market well."

Tang Rui smiled and said, "Just chatting for a bit, to see if there are any good ideas..." He looked at Wei Feng, who had been quiet the whole time, and said, "Xiao Feng, you're a top student who came back from abroad. Tell me, do you have any good ideas?"

Wei Feng's name was called, and since this was a topic he could chime in on, he wanted to show off. He glanced at Wei Qizheng and said, "To be honest, I actually have an idea for a business... It's a chain of membership-based warehouse stores!"

Li Xu looked up at Wei Feng with some curiosity... Was that the Sam's Club model he was talking about? A membership-based supermarket, right? But judging by subsequent developments, Sam's Club, which had already entered China in 1995, had already established itself in many cities. This model wasn't particularly well-suited in China to begin with, and it would probably be difficult for a new entrant to replicate it...

For example, Costco, which he entered into China a few years before his rebirth, was not very popular.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Wei Feng described the business model in vivid detail... There are many similar supermarkets abroad, and it will definitely work if we copy them.

Tang Qiaoning, who had been looking down at her phone, raised her head and, taking advantage of a moment's pause, said, "I don't think this thing you're talking about is as reliable as shared electric bikes." "Shared electric bikes?" Wei Qi looked at Tang Qiaoning curiously and said with a smile, "What are shared electric bikes? Are they from abroad?"

I haven’t heard of it…

Li Xu blinked and said nothing.

Tang Qiaoning took a sip of the juice on the table and briefly described the business model that Li Xu had just mentioned.

Wei Feng felt a little dissatisfied, and subconsciously looked for problems. However, this business model had been verified in practice in later generations, and there were solutions to all possible problems. Unless it was poorly operated, this business model was generally feasible.

The three elders were all businessmen. After listening to Tang Qiaoning's idea, they subconsciously verified the feasibility of this business model in their minds, pondered some of the problems that might be encountered, and even pondered for a while.

Wei Qi was the first to speak: "You know what, this idea is quite bold...but the manufacturing cost is still a bit high."

Li Yuqian shook his head and said, "The manufacturing costs can be spread out through scale... If electric bikes don't work, we can make bicycles."

Several people discussed this idea casually, talking back and forth, pondering possible problems and whether they could be solved, from production to manufacturing, to many details in operation. The more they talked, the more they found that this project seemed really possible. In the end, they found that the biggest problem was whether the quality of the people... could support this project.

Of course, it was just some casual conversation at a dinner party; it was unlikely they would actually pursue this project. Li Yuqian looked at Tang Qiaoning with amusement, then said to Tang Rui, "Studying abroad is different... her ideas are wild and unconstrained. Maybe your daughter could really make a splash if she starts her own business in the future!"

At this moment, Tang Qiaoning shook her head and said, "I didn't come up with this idea. Li Xu told me about it just now."

Then everyone turned their attention to Li Xu who was eating silently.

Li Xu raised his head: "It's just a random thought..."

……

After the dinner, Li Yuqian and Li Xu took Wei Qizhen with them and left in a car first. Weifeng and Tang Qiaoning also found an excuse to slip away. While Tang Rui was waiting for the driver to come over, he looked at the car that Li Yuqian and his friends were driving disappearing around the corner of the street. A puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.

"He doesn't talk much, but he's actually always listening to us... He's also very polite and generally quite decent... And that bike-sharing idea... Yeah, he has some business acumen. The last time I saw him... he wasn't like that."

For a moment, Tang Rui actually doubted himself... Could it be that Li Yuqian's way of education was correct?

In just a few months, this kid has changed into this?
