My 1999

Xu Liang looked at his watch and said, "It's almost lunch time. Let's have something together?"

"your treat?"

"Of course I can't let guests pay in my territory." Xu Liang said with a smile, "But I'm not very familiar with the capital, so you can choose the place."

"Then I'm going to kill you."

"I agreed in advance that it's no problem within five hundred yuan. I won't be responsible for more than that."

"Five hundred yuan? That's enough for you to deduct."

"There is no way, now the company needs money everywhere to develop, I have to save money." Xu Liang said.

With that said, the two walked out one after another.

The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was tall and beautiful. Everyone who saw her along the way attracted attention.

"Who is that woman? She has such a good temperament and is even more beautiful than a celebrity." Wang Xiaoni's tone was full of envy.

"Maybe she's Mr. Xu's girlfriend. Didn't you see how close they are?" Zhao Yan said.

Not far away, Li Ling looked a bit complicated. Xu Liang, who was young, wealthy, tall and handsome, met all her requirements for a boyfriend. As a college student, she also believes that she has an advantage over Zhao Yan and Wang Xiaoni.

Unexpectedly, before she could take action, a far better competitor than her appeared.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed for a while.

Xu Liang came outside and looked at Santana parked on the roadside.

"Is this your car?"

"It belongs to my dad. I use it as a temporary means of transportation."

Jiang Xiaoyang took out the key and opened the car door.

"Come up."

Xu Liang nodded and got into the passenger seat.

At this time, there were already a lot of cars in the capital, but it was working time now, so there were not many cars on the road.

Jiang Xiaoyang drove the car, as if an old horse knew the way, and quickly turned into the alley of Houhai.

It didn't take long and we stopped outside a courtyard.

"This is it."

Xu Liang got out of the car, looked at the quiet atmosphere around him, and couldn't help but praise it.

"It's nice to find peace in the middle of the noise."

"Do you like courtyard houses?"

"I like courtyards that have been renovated and have water supply and drainage. Otherwise, I have to freeze my buttocks when I go to the toilet in winter, and I have to empty the urinal when I wake up in the morning. I am just looking for trouble," Xu Liang said.

"You think clearly."

"I'm from the countryside, and ours is also a courtyard house, a beggar's version of a courtyard house." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Calcium version?"

"A beggar's beggar."

Jiang Xiaoyang suddenly said, "You are quite humorous."

Xu Liang smiled and said nothing more.

The two of them walked towards the courtyard gate not far away.

This is a wide and bright gate with stone drums on both sides and a well-preserved bird under the gate, exuding the charm of the old courtyard in the capital.

A plaque with red letters on a black background hangs on the door.

"Li's private kitchen."

Stepping in, you will be faced with a tall screen wall. Going around the moon gate from the left, you will find the reverse-seating room of the courtyard.

But now they have been turned into restaurants.

A young woman wearing a black coat hurriedly came over.

"Sir, ma'am, both of you?"

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded, "Are there any private rooms?"

"Yes, please come with me."

He led the two of them forward for more than ten meters, entered through the hanging flower door in the middle, and entered the courtyard.

There are three main rooms and two ears in the middle, and one main room and one ear in the side rooms on both sides.

There is also a moon gate in the northeast corner leading to the second courtyard.

Very regular layout of a medium-sized courtyard.

The waiter took the two people to the wing of the left wing.

The room of about 20 square meters seems very spacious.

"Sir, madam, this is our menu."

Xu Liang waved to Jiang Xiaoyang.

"Since I'm treating you to dinner, just order it."

Jiang Xiaoyang was not polite either.

"One crispy roast duck, one corn and mandarin fish, and one three-fresh stuffed tofu."

Pass the menu to Xu Liang.

"See what you like to eat."

Xu Liang took it and turned it over, "One portion of braised mutton, one portion of steamed donkey meat, and one portion of longevity elbow. Okay, that's it."

"They have a lot of dishes here. Can you finish all the meat you ordered?" Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"Don't worry, I guarantee there won't be any leftover."

"Well, it's your treat anyway."

"Sir, Miss, do you want a drink?"

"I don't want it, what about you?"

Xu Liang also shook his head.

"Just a moment, you two, we'll serve the food soon."

The waiter turned around and left.

"This place looks quite big." Xu Liang said after looking around.

"The third courtyard is about 800 square meters, not too small, but not too big either." Jiang Xiaoyang said casually.

Xu Liang glanced at her and knew from this tone that the other party's family was either rich or noble.

"Xu Liang, can I call you that?"

"certainly."

"I read your information when I signed the contract last time. I'm very curious about a child from a rural background who has a millionaire? Of course, I don't mean to look down on you. My grandfather was also from the countryside back then. I'm just curious. ." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to say anything."

Xu Liang smiled and shook his head, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

And even if Jiang Xiaoyang didn't ask, he would take the initiative to say it.

"On New Year's Day last year, all my New Year's money totaled less than 1,000 yuan. A month later, I made my first pot of gold by selling Spring Festival couplets."

"Spring Festival couplets?"

Jiang Xiaoyang said in surprise.

In her mind, these colorful things are very cheap.

"That's right. Even though they only cost a few cents each, the profits are huge. Especially during the Chinese New Year, it's the peak sales season. As long as you put more thought into it, you can easily earn a lot of money."

Jiang Xiaoyang is also a smart person and thought for a while.

"Even if the profit is huge, the price is too low. You will definitely not be able to earn so much by yourself."

"Of course one person's power is limited, but a hundred people will produce a qualitative change." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoyang instantly understood his subtext.

"So you hired a hundred people to make money for you?"

Xu Liang smiled, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

This action is tantamount to a disguised admission.

The way Jiang Xiaoyang looked at him changed a little.

There is no shortage of business geniuses in this world, but there are very few people who can keenly perceive opportunities at the age of seventeen, boldly invest in them, and successfully make a lot of money.

However, she had some misunderstandings. Xu Liang did not say how much her first pot of gold was. She thought that the 4.5 million the other party invested in Yahoo came from selling Spring Festival couplets.

Xu Liang didn't explain much. After all, it's hard to say something like picking up something.

It just so happened that at this moment, the dishes they ordered were served.

"Try it, their Beijing cuisine here is very authentic." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

Xu Liang picked up the chopsticks, rolled the roast duck in pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he nodded.

“The taste is indeed very authentic, no worse than Quanjude.”

"Have you been to Quanjude?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"I've been in the capital for almost a month, and I've naturally been to the famous Quanjude."

That being said, the last time I went to Quanjude to eat roast duck was a lifetime ago.

After eating briefly, Xu Liang put down his chopsticks and looked at the beautiful woman opposite.

“Why don’t you ask me about shorting Yahoo?”

"I was going to ask Yahoo after asking about your new dream."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "The New Dream thing is very simple. I think the education and training industry has great prospects, so I plan to make it my main career."

"Like New Oriental?"

"right."

"As far as I know, there are not many studios in Beijing, but there are some, but they are not large in scale. How can you be sure that your new dream will succeed?"

Xu Liang was smiling, with strong confidence in his expression.

"The New Dream is like a product. If you want your product to have a selling point, you must convince your customers. The admission rate of art students is much higher than that of ordinary candidates, and the enrollment scale of art students across the country is constantly expanding. These two are the New Dream selling point."

"And Chinese parents are the ones who care most about their children's education. For the future of their children, they are willing to spend time understanding the selling points of their new dream, and then spend money to give their children who have lost the chance to go to college a chance."

Jiang Xiaoyang pondered for a while.

"I think all training studio owners know your selling point."

"That's right. But most of them only see immediate benefits and are content with being rich; they lack the courage and strength to promote this selling point."

After a pause, Xu Liang continued.

"In most cases, business opportunities are not difficult to find. What is difficult is the courage to seize the opportunity and fight bravely."
