Back To 2005

"Sometimes, human intuition is more reliable than data analysis. Data is dead, but data is fickle. The human brain understands the future direction of data more objectively than a computer."

Nodding, Mai Jiashan did not question the other party's reasons, but affirmed them.

After thinking for a short time, Mai Jiashan, who came back to his senses, remembered the purpose of inviting the other party to dine together, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Unexpectedly, he, who has been in shopping malls for a long time, would sometimes be led by young people.

However, the other party did not answer, but the answer was very clear, and he did not force it.

A DNF agency cannot completely change the situation. There is no need to focus only on this aspect.

"Uncle Mai, recently SoftBank and Qiandu are interested in letting us celebrities start a second round of financing. What do you think?"

Seeing that the other party did not ask about the transfer of DNF agency rights, Zhou Anan changed the topic to another aspect.

With the good performance of Celebrity Group and the last wave of Internet bubble in the domestic stock market, several investment institutions want to promote Celebrity Group to go public and make a lot of money.

Before going public, a second round of financing must be conducted, and the advantage of his shares will be weakened.

These are all secondary, but knowing that the future is an irreversible crisis, how could Zhou Anan let the celebrity group go public at this juncture?

He didn't want the celebrity group he relied on to be short-lived.

"I support your idea. When we exchanged shares, I said that I would unconditionally support your team's decision."

We had previously discussed the possible development of the North American subprime mortgage crisis. Naturally, Mai Jiashan knew what the other party was thinking, so he followed suit.

Anyway, if the celebrity group goes public earlier or later, for him, it is just a symbol of wealth.

If the other party is true, the listing of Celebrity Group will not be of much help to TX, and it will lose this high-quality stock.

"Thank you Uncle Mai for your support."

With the other party's words, Zhou Anan didn't have to worry.

Excalibur Capital has not spoken out at all, and with the support of TX, Hard Silver and Qiandu’s ideas can be ignored.

At the beginning of financing, these institutions signed a contract and would not forcefully interfere with the management of the original team of Celebrity Group.

What's more, he is also the major shareholder with absolute controlling rights.

Anyway, the celebrity group's current liquidity is still abundant, and coupled with the hematopoietic function of its gaming company, it is enough to support it for a long time.

"Okay, I won't interrupt your young people's nightlife."

The conversation tonight was basically over. Mai Jiashan, who had stayed in Hangzhou for two days, had to rush back to Pengcheng, so he didn't stay any longer.

Although the goal before coming here was not achieved, it was not without gain.

Perhaps, he should listen to the other party's advice and sell the foreign stocks he holds as soon as possible.

"Next time I go to Pengcheng to invite Uncle Mai to tea."

"Then I'll be waiting."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Mai, Zhou Anan checked the text messages on the mobile phone card that were exclusively used in Hangcheng, and chose two of them to reply.

More than ten minutes later, when Zhou Anan drove to the entrance of West Lake Yintai, two fellow school girls were already waiting there.

"boarding."

Stopping temporarily on the side of the road, Zhou Anan unlocked the car door, lowered the window and shouted.

"Senior, I'm really troubling you."

After getting in the car, Lou Shuqing said a little embarrassedly.

The two of them did not go home during the National Day. They had just spent a day shopping today and watched a movie at Yintai Cinemas in the evening. At Shuna's instigation, they called this fellow senior, but they did not expect that the other person was actually in Hangzhou.

"It's okay, where are you going?"

Looking at Personal Trainer Lou, who was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Zhou Anan's impressive soft figure flashed in his mind, and he quickly waved away the flash of emotion.

For men, what they cannot get or have lost is always restless.

"Senior, please eat chestnuts. As agreed, we'll treat senior to a late-night snack. I know there's a delicious crayfish restaurant in the university town."

Shuna put away a few bags of today's harvest, peeled a chestnut and handed it over, talking about the proposal she made during the previous phone call.

A meal of crayfish is still affordable.

"OK."

Glancing at Shu, who likes to wear short skirts to show off her long legs, Zhou Anan ate the fragrant chestnut without refusing her invitation.

After leaving the city, Zhou Anan drove to the edge of Xiasha New City under the guidance of Shu Xuemei, who had a strong sense of direction.

Several rows of not-so-new residential buildings formed a crowded pedestrian zone in the suburbs. There was also a brightly lit night market street with many late-night snack stalls, and the business seemed to be pretty good.

"How do you know this place?"

Zhou Anan, who took the chestnuts that Shu Mei had dialed for the sixteenth time and parked the car in the open space, looked at the old crayfish sign not far away and asked curiously.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary students would not come to such a remote place.

"We picked up a tutor right here. Once it was too late, so we packed some crayfish while we were waiting for the bus here. It was delicious."

When talking about her experience of discovering delicious food, Shuna was still a little excited.

After all, it is also a plus point for girls to be able to earn living expenses on their own.

"You also come out to tutor at night?"

After hearing what Junior Shu said, Zhou Anan looked at the two junior girls who were both a bit thin with some concern.

"We come three times a week, half day in the morning on Saturdays, and we start at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and usually end at 8pm, which is not too late. There happened to be two students who lived together, and we all came together. "

As if seeing the worry of the fellow senior, Lou Shuqing smiled and explained.

There was no way, the school they were in was in the upper reaches of the second-tier schools, and the admission score was occasionally higher than the first-tier standard, but it was still a second-tier school.

Although there are not many colleges and universities in Xiasha University Town, there are also quite a few.

Especially because of the name of Jiangnan University, many qualified parents will choose them first before choosing any other institution.

When it was their turn for students from secondary schools to find tutoring jobs, they could only get lower wages in such a slightly remote place.

"Yes, it's very safe for the two of us to take a taxi together. One of the students was a little slow in doing his homework that day. It was a special situation."

Shuna on the side also explained a few words.

"You two girls are not safe at night. If you want to work part-time to earn living expenses, I will help you arrange one."

Zhou Anan was still very uneasy about the story of the two beautiful school girls.

Although Hangzhou, as a provincial capital, has good public security, it is inevitable that there are some dregs of society who are interested in the beauty of the two school girls and have some evil intentions.

The world is not lacking in kindness, nor is it completely free of evil. Don't judge everyone's conscience based on the kindness in your own heart.

Just in case, Zhou Anan didn't want his personal trainer Enlightenment Lou to encounter any danger in his previous life.

"This is not good. We have already promised the parents and have been teaching for half a month. I would be embarrassed to refuse midway."

After hearing the arrangement of the fellow senior, Lou Shuqing, who had already agreed to the arrangement with her parents, was a little embarrassed to refuse.

Although the senior's words were all for their sake, being a human being has to have a beginning and an end, which is even more detrimental to integrity.

"Ask the boys in your class, are there any boys in your class who are willing to take over? If not, let the parents look for them. If you didn't get half a month's salary before, you can get it if you can. Even if you don't, I will make up for it."

Not allowing Lou's personal trainer to refuse, Zhou Anan forced them to make the decision.

Even though Lou's personal trainer was always good in his previous life, he has slightly changed his love experience in this life. Who knows if the other person's life trajectory will diverge.

There is no room for error when it comes to safety.

Otherwise, Zhou Anan will regret it for the rest of his life.

"this."

"Then we will follow the arrangements of the seniors. The parents have already paid us the tutoring fee for the previous half month. After returning to school, we will ask other students to see if anyone is willing to take over."

Listening to the senior's domineering words, Shuna stopped her best friend who wanted to say something else and agreed with a smile.

"Well, for you girls, safety is more important than anything else."

Seeing that Lou's personal trainer acquiesced and did not refute, Zhou Anan slowed down and spoke tactfully to avoid any grudges in their hearts.

Sometimes, when girls are stubborn, it’s really no problem for boys.

"Thank you, senior."

Feeling the sincere concern of the fellow senior, Private Tutor Lou mostly dissipated the confusion in his heart and thanked him.

"Senior, when we change jobs, we will treat you to another meal."

Without saying too many words of thanks, Shuna immediately found a new reason to see the other party and felt very happy.

"Okay, I'll wait. Boss, bring us a large portion of crayfish, with the head removed and slightly spicy, and another portion."

After ordering the food, Zhou Anan sat at the new square table and subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment and the customers.

It is similar to ordinary food stalls. Perhaps because Xiasha is in a period of large-scale development, many of the people who come here to dine are stout working-class people.

Some of the clothes were not neat and a little muddy. It was obvious that they had just come off the construction site.

Zhou Anan has no prejudice against dining with migrant workers. After all, they are a group of people worthy of respect, and the development of the city cannot be separated from their silent efforts.

"Let's go sit outside."

It didn't matter to him, but Zhou Anan was afraid that the smell of these migrant workers would affect the dining environment of the two girls.

There is no air conditioning, only an electric fan is turned on, and the air in the room is a bit turbid.

"OK."

Noticing the slightly weird smell in the room, Lou Shuqing both stood up obediently and followed their fellow seniors to sit outside.

They had packed takeout twice before, both times standing outside, but they had never thought about what it would be like to eat here.

"Why didn't you go back during the National Day?"

After taking some paper towels to help the two girls wipe the oily tabletop, Zhou Anan asked casually.

Like other qualified food stalls, they will be covered with disposable tablecloths, which saves a lot of trouble.

"On the 2nd and 3rd, we were all tutoring students with homework, so we didn't go back."

"Really, girls work so hard to make money, it's hard to have a boyfriend."

"Senior, if you say that, if I can't find a boyfriend in the future, I'll have to rely on you."

"."

"You pretend to be so clean when you eat. Then you go to a Western restaurant to eat foreign food or a food stall. When you come to a place like this to pick up girls, you still pretend to be a big-tailed wolf."

Just as Zhou Anan took a tissue and wiped it on the table in front of him for the second time, a sour voice came from the side.
