rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 368 Lao Ma’s Admiration

"Mr. Chen~ Now Xinxia News Agency is coming over for an interview, your side"

Ma Xiaoyun looked very excited, after all, it was Xinxia Club!

Ma Xiaoyun has also been interviewed by Xinxia News Agency before. That was before Xiaoma Technology Co., Ltd. and Yuanzheng Group jointly held a press conference to announce that they had officially overcome the computer Y2K problem.

As the person in charge of Xiaoma Technology Co., Ltd., Ma Xiaoyun accepted interviews from Xinxia News Agency and many domestic media at that time.

But this time is different~ because this time it is an exclusive interview given by Xinxia News Agency.

The exclusive interview opportunity from Xinxia News Agency is not something that ordinary people can get.

In fact, Ma Xiaoyun had the opportunity to be interviewed before. When Xiaoma Technology went abroad with the "Y2K Ultimate Patch", Xinxia News Agency extended an invitation to Ma Xiaoyun.

But at that time, Ma Xiaoyun was abroad and was dealing with the overseas sales of the "Y2K Ultimate Patch".

In the end, the interview turned into an interview, because Ma Xiaoyun was indeed a little busy at that time.

Maybe many people don’t have much idea about exclusive interviews and interviews~after all, they are all interviews!

But in fact, if I explain it in more understandable terms, it is probably that the level and grade of an exclusive interview is higher than that of an ordinary interview.

The Xinxia News Agency's exclusive interview is probably the highest level of interviews at this time.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is just a donation and should not be treated with such high standards.

But Chen Li donated too much!

Fifty million US dollars~ Even twenty years later, it was an extremely huge donation, not to mention that it was still 1999.

Especially what Chen Li donated was US dollars. In this era when foreign exchange was still a strategic reserve, US$50 million was not just converted into several hundred million Chinese dollars.

You know, many places these days actually have the task of attracting foreign exchange. If Chen Li takes advantage of his rebirth to do it, then the final value of these 50 million US dollars may be frighteningly high.

Even if Chen Li was a villain who forgot his ancestors, he could have emigrated directly abroad with the funds that had not been transferred into the country.

Those capitalist countries will definitely welcome Chen Li, a 50 million dollar tycoon!

Then~Chen Li can use his status as a "foreigner" to return to the country~

At that time, it will not be too convenient for him to act in the country under the name of a foreign businessman.

Even if he is shameless enough, he can use the name of "patriotic businessman" to directly start causing trouble in the country!

But fortunately~ Chen Li is not that shameless yet.

In fact, it’s quite nonsense to say it, because the public opinion in China these days is not as hostile to immigrants as it was later.

Most people are actually envious of immigrating overseas.

Because in many people’s minds, foreign countries are the ideal “paradise”!

But for Chen Li, who came from later generations, he was too aware of the fishiness involved.

So~from beginning to end~Chen Li never thought about immigration or anything.

Of course, he is actually not a saint. If he really handled the $50 million by himself, he must admit that he would definitely not donate it.

Donate money~ You definitely have to donate, but you will never donate so much.

Chen Li doesn't think there's anything wrong with donating millions or tens of thousands of dollars, but it's 50 million U.S. dollars. Chen Li would definitely not do that himself.

But this money was not actually what he wanted to donate. He was semi-forced by the system to "donate" it.

At that time, Chen Li had no idea how much impact such a donation of US$50 million would have on China.

Well~ Actually, Chen Li didn't have time to think about this at all at the time. He didn't even pay much attention to how the system Xiaomeng used the funds.

At that time, after he and Xiaomeng ordered a special service, he went to deal with other things and didn't even dare to think about it.

After all, that’s 50 million US dollars~ Chen Li feels heartbroken every time he thinks about it!

According to Chen Li's subconscious opinion, the system Xiaomeng has such a high level of AI intelligence and will definitely handle this matter well.

But he never expected that Xiaomeng would simply and rudely donate the 50 million to Project Hope.

Chen Li is not saying that donating to Project Hope is not good~!

In fact, the reputation of Project Hope, a charity activity in China, is definitely impressive!

If Chen Li was allowed to make his own choice, he would most likely still do it, but the amount would be different.

But now that the $50 million has been spent, the direct impact is that even official media like Xinxia News Agency has paid attention to this matter.

That's Xinxia News Agency, which usually pays attention to national affairs.

You know, this is not the era of information explosion. The status of Xinxia Society is very high!

And the most terrible thing is that Chen Li’s previous customized service was related to Xinxia Society.

Although he knew that this matter could not be revealed, Chen Li still felt guilty for no reason.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to accept an interview.

"Ahem~!"

Chen Li coughed lightly, then picked up the water glass that was originally poured for Ma Xiaoyun and took a big sip.

"Interview. Forget it!"

"Well~ let's do this!"

"This donation should be in the name of Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd.!"

"Don't be too busy refusing~!"

Chen Li saw what Ma Xiaoyun wanted to say, and quickly waved his hand, indicating that the other party should listen to him first.

"That's right~!"

"As for me, I'm just a college student!"

"You are so ridiculous~ I am a college student."

Chen Li looked a little embarrassed when he saw Ma Xiaoyun who was trying hard to hold back his laughter~ he immediately cursed.

“I have so much money, but it’s of no use!”

"You also know~ I actually have a team behind me!"

Well, now Chen Li has begun to admit that he has a team behind him.

Anyway, both Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi thought so, and Chen Li simply refused to deny it. After all, with this team, some things became simpler.

"What about this matter~ I have also consulted them."

"Money is indeed a good thing, but if you have too much of it, it can actually be quite hot."

"We are a group of people who are gathered together because of our love for computers and the Internet!"

"We are not resistant to using our knowledge and skills to make ourselves better off."

"But ~ if it is too much property that we cannot control ~ it is actually not a good thing for us!"

"You know, we all have our own beliefs, but money will corrode our beliefs!"

"So, at the suggestion of a friend of mine, we decided to donate the money."

"Of course~ we still kept some of it. You should know that we actually kept about two million US dollars."

"I invested this money into Ideal Fried Chicken!"

"We are not suitable to appear in front of the stage. We are only suitable to stay behind the scenes!"

"Old horse~ you understand!"

Chen Li was making up lies in his mind while looking at Ma Xiaoyun's expression.

He was observing, he was observing whether Ma Xiaoyun believed what he said!

Originally, he thought that Ma Xiaoyun might not believe it~ Then Ma Xiaoyun's expression gradually changed from a suppressed smile at the beginning to seriousness, and in the end he even became a little... worshipful?

"I understand ~ Mr. Chen!"

"You are a group of noble people, a group of people with faith, and you are people who have escaped from vulgar taste."

"In this case, I will also spend one hundred, no, two million US dollars!"

"Mr. Chen~!"

Seeing that Chen Li wanted to speak~ Ma Xiaoyun quickly increased his tone!

"I admit~ I can't do what you do~ after all, I have a lot of people who want to eat with me!"

"But~ I really admire you~ I really do!"

"So, I can only take out two million US dollars. This is all the money I can take out without being affected after measuring my future expenses."

"Mr. Chen~Don't refuse!"

"After all, if the name of donation is to be attached to Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd., how can I, the major shareholder, do it without some blood?"

"Actually, Mr. Chen, you don't know that since the Y2K patch was sold to Microsoft, I've received a lot of calls from here."

"So this money~ I will actually donate it sooner or later."

"Just in time~ While you are accepting this exclusive interview with Xinxia News Agency, we might as well make big news so that we can tell those people not to come looking for me!"

These words ~ Ma Xiaoyun said it sincerely. You must know that the Ma Xiaoyun at this time is not the Ma Xiaoyun who was not interested in money later.

This guy~ gave up his original e-commerce website directly in order to make money, but this is not surprising~ after all, making money~ is not shabby!

Just spending two million US dollars at one time~ For Ma Xiaoyun now, it is definitely a big piece of meat.

Ma Xiaoyun did make a lot of money through the Y2K patch before, but two million US dollars ~ that's a huge amount of money, right?

Just like the money Chen Li received belongs to the "team" behind him, part of the money Ma Xiaoyun received must also be allocated to his original team.

Although it's not much~ But later, Ma Xiaoyun invested in Guofeng Software and founded the current Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd., and the money this buddy shared was really not much left.

Ma Xiaoyun is a good guy at making money, but he can also spend money.

Unlike Chen Li, who only bought a small house of three in Yanjing, this guy bought a villa in Yanjing, and his car was also replaced by a Mercedes-Benz luxury business class.

And the office building where the red pony is now was also bought by Ma Xiaoyun.

Yes ~ not renting ~ buying!

This guy's vision and intuition are indeed incredible~ Chen Li briefly discussed the future development of Yingxiai Real Estate while drinking with him~ and then this guy immediately understood it!

In his words, instead of spending a lot of money to pay rent every year, it is better to buy the office floor directly, so that you can save a lot of money in the future.

Of course, this expenditure is from the funds of Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. Anyway, Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. is not short of that money now.

This floor is located outside the Third Ring Road and is a commercial property developed by Zhou Xiaoli's family's real estate company.

Although the current location is a bit out of the way, Chen Like knows very well that this location in the future will definitely be a prime location.

So in fact, even if Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. cannot develop in the future, as long as it doesn't mess around, it can even make a fortune just by selling this floor of the office building.

It was precisely because of Ma Xiaoyun's proposal to purchase this building that Chen Li was reminded.

Nowadays, the new branch of Ideal Fried Chicken is trying its best not to rent a store, but to buy instead of renting.

Although ideal fried chicken requires mostly small shops, in fact these small shops can actually bring greater profits in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just demolish a few of them at that time, and that will be a lot of money.

It is true that Chen Li has no intention of entering the real estate industry, but that does not mean that he cannot make profits through real estate.

Chen Li believes that as long as Ideal Fried Chicken keeps buying stores and opening branches, even if Ideal Fried Chicken stops, just by renting out those shops, I can probably make a lot of money every year.

In short~ Chen Li just reminded Ma Xiaoyun accidentally, and Ma Xiaoyun reminded Chen Li in turn.

This can be considered mutually beneficial!

Don’t underestimate Chen Li’s “reminder” to Ma Xiaoyun~ You must know that not just anyone can make such a decision after hearing what Chen Li said.

As many people now know, the real estate industry is definitely a hot industry, but many people spend a lot of money to buy real estate. This itself requires a lot of courage.

Especially in the business field, most people choose to rent instead of buying.

Because everyone subconsciously feels that renting may be more cost-effective.

After all, it costs a lot of money to buy. Many people think that instead of spending so much money to buy a commercial office building, it is better to rent an office building and invest the money in the company's operator.

But in fact, the final income of many companies is not even as fast as housing prices.

Of course ~ Ma Xiaoyun bought the office building on the basis that Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. would not be short of money for the time being.

The biggest reason why he dared to do this was because the biggest expense that should have existed was research and development expenses. Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. did not have this expense at all.

Whether it is Zhou Hongyi's 3721~ or the red pony safety guard brought out by Chen Li, they are both relatively mature products.

Zhou Hongyi may still need some follow-up R&D funds, but not much~

The Red Pony Security Guard is produced by the team behind Chen Li. This thing can already kill 99% of the security software currently on the market.

The reason why that point is missing is because Ma Xiaoyun is afraid of being proud!

And precisely because these expenses are reduced, Ma Xiaoyun can naturally invest more funds in other areas.

Therefore, Ma Xiaoyun knows very well that his future does not actually lie with Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd.

It’s about the Chen Li in front of you!

Chen Li and his team donated money~ Then Ma Xiaoyun also wants to donate~ He must donate!

After all, their team is a group of people who have escaped from low-level taste ~ so Ma Xiaoyun must follow their footsteps to some extent.

Although he can't be as selfless as others and donates most of the proceeds, he at least wants to express his position~

He, Ma Xiaoyun, is the same person as Chen Li and others.

He ~ Ma Xiaoyun ~ is not interested in money!
