rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 518 The value of belief

After finishing his trip to hao123, Chen Li rushed to Red Pony Technology that afternoon.

At Red Pony Technology, Chen Li participated in the year-end summary meeting of Red Pony Technology.

This summary meeting had to be moved forward a few days because of Chen Li's upcoming trip to Hong Kong Island.

It is worth mentioning that in this year-end summary meeting, in addition to making a short speech, Chen Li also received a bonus for his technical consultant position.

Yes~ it is not dividends from shareholders, but bonuses.

This year, Red Pony Technology did not pay dividends to shareholders, but only paid a bonus to all employees, including Ma Xiaoyun, Zhou Hongyi and Chen Li.

This bonus is quite generous, but of course it cannot be compared with those of later Internet companies.

But in 1999, this bonus was definitely considered very considerable.

In Chen Li's words, this bonus is enough to live a good year.

Of course, this is only for ordinary employees. For Chen Li, although this amount of money is enough for him to live a good year, the amount of the money is just that to him!

Even though the bonus he received as a technical consultant was actually much higher than that of ordinary employees, Chen Li's current appetite was obviously not something that could be satisfied by the 200,000 yuan.

Of course, the 200,000 yuan bonus is definitely still useful, especially now that Chen Li has almost emptied his own savings in order to raise funds to enter the capital market, so the 200,000 yuan was handed over to Liu by Chen Li.

Qingqing.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that before, Chen Li said that he wanted Liu Qingqing to be his housekeeper, but in fact, most of Chen Li's property was collected in various companies under his name.

Although the funds in the bank card that Chen Li gave to Liu Qingqing were a relatively large amount for ordinary people, compared to Chen Li's net worth, the money in that bank card was really too small.

Of course, classmate Liu Qingqing herself has no objections to this.

In fact, she has no idea how much money Chen Li has in that card.

Except for checking the balance once after she got the bank card, she never used the bank card again.

This is different from many girls later. Later, many girls wished that their boyfriends would get them an unlimited credit card so that they could use it as much as they wanted!

For Liu Qingqing, the living allowance given to her by her family is enough for her daily expenses.

After all, the financial conditions of the Liu family are not bad, and Liu Qingqing and Chen Li are in a relationship, so Mayor Liu Da even went so far as to raise his daughter's living expenses to a higher level.

In the words of Mayor Liu Da: "We must not let that brat Chen Li look down on our family!"

In short, Liu Qingqing’s monthly living expenses are definitely quite high in this era.

Of course, Mayor Liu Da does have the confidence to say such things now, although his confidence also comes from Chen Li.

Because Liu Qingqing is a shareholder of the company created by Chen Li, although the shares are not large, the value of those shares is quite high.

In the final analysis, these shares are actually given as a free gift from Chen Li.

So Mayor Liu Da also has the confidence to say such things. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep!

But speaking of those shares, after Chen Li asked everyone to sign, except for Chen Li's parents and Liu Qingqing, all other shareholders approached Chen Li to redeem part of the funds with their own shares.

Of course, the amount is not huge!

The biggest deal was made by Li Yuan, who sold shares worth about half a million Chinese dollars to Chen Li at one time.

And the reason why he had to pay such a large amount of money was to get married.

Yes~ Although Li Yuan and Zhao Xiaoqiu have not officially received the certificates yet, because they are both college students, and Li Yuan is quite different in age.

But marriage these days, especially in a small place like Erlong Town, is not tied to a marriage certificate.

Although the two of them have not yet been able to obtain the certificate, the Li family and the Zhao family have decided to hold a wedding banquet for the two of them during the Spring Festival this year.

After all, the relationship between the two young people has now been approved by both parents, and the two young people themselves have no objection.

In addition, Zhao Xiaoqiu was even pregnant at the time, so the matter was settled like this.

Anyway, let’s put it this way~ With the current relationship between the Zhao family and the Li family, if Li Yuan dares to break up with Zhao Xiaoqiu, he will probably be hung up by the two families and take turns playing mixed doubles.

Of course~ with Li Yuan's virtue, he probably wouldn't do this.

That guy wished he could graduate as soon as possible, get his certificate from Zhao Xiaoqiu as soon as possible, and become an official couple with Zhao Xiaoqiu both emotionally and legally.

So this 500,000 yuan is what Li Yuan will use to build a house for himself and Zhao Xiaoqiu in Erlong Town, as well as betrothal gifts and so on.

To be honest ~ given the current ages of the two of them, this is somewhat illegal. The main reason is that Li Yuan is only 21 years old this year, which is actually one year short of the legal age for marriage.

In addition, both of them are still college students. College students are not allowed to get married these days!

But in a rural town like Erlong Town, this kind of thing is not a strange thing. Anyway, the two of them have not issued a marriage certificate for the time being, and they have no plans to have children for the time being.

To be honest, the development of this matter is somewhat beyond Chen Li's understanding.

Although Li Yuan and Zhao Xiaoqiu finally came together in their previous life, the twists and turns were far more complicated than they are now.

But now, the two of them were together at the speed of light, and Chen Li always felt that something was a little bit unreliable.

He has even been a little worried that these two young couples who had a good relationship in their previous life would eventually have some problems because of his interference.

But it's hard for Chen Li to tell the two of them directly about this kind of thing. Fortunately, the relationship between the two of them seems to be very stable so far.

In addition to Li Yuan, several other relatives of Chen Li also sold part of their shares to Chen Li.

Chen Li's second aunt~ sold shares worth about 200,000 Chinese coins, and the money was used to buy a house for Chen Li's cousin Zhou Ling.

Chen Li's sister Ling has now graduated from a junior college. Originally, according to the ideas of Chen Li's second aunt and second uncle, she actually wanted Zhou Ling to continue to study for a bachelor's degree.

But it was obvious that Chen Li's sister Ling thought that she was not good at studying, so she gave up the idea of ​​pursuing a bachelor's degree and went to work instead.

To be honest~ After learning that Sister Ling gave up the idea of ​​upgrading to a bachelor's degree, Chen Li was already prepared.

He estimated that his second aunt would come looking for him. After all, Chen Li was now considered the backbone of the Chen family.

Chen Li actually didn't resist this, although his relationship with Sister Ling was only average.

But Chen Li knew very well that his second aunt was very kind to him, almost treating him like his own son.

So after learning that Sister Ling planned to work, Chen Li even prepared a position for Sister Ling in advance.

The current general manager of Ideal Fried Chicken~Su Mei’s assistant!

Chen Li did not intend to arrange Zhou Ling by his side, as that would not be of great benefit to Zhou Ling's growth.

But not long after Chen Li greeted Su Mei in advance, Chen Li got the news that Zhou Ling had found a job in Chengdu.

At that time, Chen Li was still a little confused. What did his cousin think?

Ignoring my cousin, who had become a big boss, I went to find a job as an office clerk.

Later, Chen Li found out that Zhou Ling's boyfriend worked in Chengdu.

Okay~! Sure enough, this cousin definitely cannot be compared with my boyfriend.

No matter how good this cousin is, it doesn't mean anything!

Zhou Ling's boyfriend is Zhou Ling's first-year senior. He graduated early and has already found a sales job in Chengdu.

So this week Ling went to join her boyfriend as soon as she graduated.

This incident made Chen Li's second aunt a little angry, not that she was dissatisfied with Zhou Ling's boyfriend.

In fact, Chen Li's second aunt has already met Zhou Ling's boyfriend, and she has a pretty good impression of this boy.

But when it comes to her daughter's career development, Chen Li's second aunt would naturally prefer Zhou Ling to work for Chen Li.

Even if two young people want to be together, they can both go to Chen Li's side!

Chen Li is now the big boss. Isn't it a simple matter to arrange the work of two people?

However, neither Zhou Ling nor her boyfriend were willing to do this.

After all, they are still young, and their understanding of the world is relatively "beautiful". They feel that they can also achieve success through their own efforts.

Of course, in reality, many young people do rely on such ideas and finally achieve achievements that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

It's just that more young people often have to accept the beating of reality in the end.

Regarding this matter, Chen Li did not express any opinion, nor did he continue to propose that Zhou Ling and her boyfriend come to his place.

In his opinion, instead of arranging for these two people to come to his place now, it is better for them to experience what the real real society is.

Anyway, from Chen Li's point of view, no matter whether his cousin is doing well or bad, it is actually not that important.

After all, you have your own back!

However, young people have their own entrepreneurial spirit, and they may not think it matters yet, but Chen Li's second aunt, after visiting her daughter's residence in Chengdu once, came back and sold Chen Li 200,000 shares, saying that it was

I want to buy a house for Zhou Ling.

Regarding the reason for this, Chen Li knew the reason without even having to tell his second aunt.

There are probably two reasons, the most important of which is naturally seeing Zhou Ling's living environment.

At this time in 1999, if two young people who graduated from college wanted to survive in the city of Chengdu, it would be impossible for them to have such good living conditions.

Although junior colleges these days are not as valuable as later, to be honest, let alone junior colleges, the recognition of many companies for ordinary undergraduates has continued to decline.

There is no way~ After all, universities have been expanding enrollment in recent years, and this year they have completely relaxed their policies.

In a few years, let alone junior college. Even undergraduates will probably not be able to find a job that easily.

Therefore, the two young people who had just graduated had a relatively tight life.

This shortage is not only reflected in food and other aspects, but also in housing.

In the past, Chen Li's second aunt might not have noticed anything, but it's different now.

She is Chen Li's second aunt, and she has such a capable nephew as Chen Li.

There was food at home, so I didn't feel panic. On the premise of improving the living environment for my daughter, Chen Li's second aunt approached Chen Li.

There is actually another reason involved here.

This reason is that even though Chen Li asked everyone to sign when he divided the shares, on paper, almost all those who lent money to Chen Li have now become millionaires.

But to be honest, everyone's understanding of this "millionaire" who appeared out of nowhere always feels a bit illusory.

They just lent several thousand yuan to Chen Li, and not long after they borrowed it, everyone became millionaires. Even if this kind of thing was told, not many people would believe it.

Not to mention that outsiders don't believe it, even those involved are somewhat uneasy in their hearts.

Especially those shares, which are said to be worth so much money. But can these shares be converted into money?

Under such a premise, if you try it, you can dispel everyone's doubts about this.

In fact, not only Chen Li's second aunt thinks so, but also Li Yuan, Chen Li's aunt and second father, all have similar temptations.

And the names they used were almost the same. Li Yuan used it in the name of getting married and building a house, and Chen Li's second aunt used it in the name of buying a house for Zhou Ling.

Chen Li's aunt used it in the name of renovating the family's old house and allowing Wang Xiaodong to go to school.

As for Chen Li's second father, he also used the name of preparing to build a house in Erlong Town.

As for why almost all of them have something to do with the house, of course it’s because only if it has something to do with the house can it be convenient for Chen Li to use shares to redeem more funds!

Even if it's just an excuse, you have to find someone more reliable.

You can't just buy a piece of clothing for your child and then sell 50,000 yuan worth of shares, right?

Although Chen Li himself doesn't actually care about this, they still have to consider Chen Li's acceptance of this.

After all, selling shares seems to be a bit unconvincing of Chen Li's intention.

Therefore, everyone actually sold only a small part of the shares. On the one hand, they can confirm the authenticity, and on the other hand, they can also exchange for a certain amount of funds to improve their lives.

Regarding this, Chen Li was not only not unhappy, but even a little excited.

Because these relatives and friends sold their shares before the financing of Red Pony shares, Chen Li almost purchased their shares at the valuation of Red Pony when the contract was signed.

But now the valuation of Red Pony Technology is several times what it was back then.

Just by going in and out, Chen Li actually made a huge profit.

Of course, Chen Li has not sold his shares, so this part of the funds cannot be cashed out at present.

But generally speaking, people who believe in Chen Li will naturally gain greater benefits.

For example, Chen Li’s parents!

Another example is Liu Qingqing!
