rebirth from small pockets

Unlike the prosperous Treasure Hunting Network and Tengu Mall in the previous life, Penguin Network at this time was almost a grassroots team.

Because it is not well-known, not only was the first real buyer born yesterday, but there are actually very few sellers on Penguin at this time.

The first batch of items for sale on Penguin.com were even second-hand items used by several of the founders, including Chen Li.

For example, Chen Li put a digital camera he bought last year on Penguin.com for sale, but it didn't sell.

Another example is that Ma Xiaoteng threw a dozen second-hand items online, and even directly bought some items with his own money and sold them at low prices.

Yes ~ low price, he obviously bought it for a hundred yuan, but the price he listed on Penguin.com was only sixty-six.

As for what the purpose is, do you still need to ask? Of course it is to attract people to buy.

Others, such as Lao Zeng and others, also made some things to sell on Penguin.com, mainly to enrich Penguin.com's mall.

Of course, it’s not that there are no real sellers. Currently, there are about a dozen online stores in the mall, which are the results of Comrade Zeng’s time.

However, the wide range of types sold in these stores really left Chen Li speechless.

For example, there is a store that sells small commodities and toys. The owner of this store is a classmate of Zeng, and his family runs a toy factory.

In fact, this kind of seller is definitely a normal seller in Chen Li's opinion.

But then Lao Zeng brought in another seller selling construction machinery.

Yes~ It is a seller of various engineering equipment such as excavators and road rolling machines.

The sales manager of this seller is the brother-in-law of one of Lao Zeng’s classmates.

In addition, there are two clothing stores, one is owned by a relative of Lao Zeng's family and the other is owned by a relative of this relative.

To be honest~ this seems a bit funny, but in fact it reflects a current dilemma of Penguin.com.

Because it has just started, Penguin.com’s reputation is too small, and no one is willing to try it.

They even don’t believe that strangers would place orders for their products online.

The reason why I agreed to become the first batch of sellers on Penguin.com was entirely because of Lao Zeng’s face.

After all, before Tengxun was sold, Lao Zeng could be considered a small fortune, and he could barely be considered a successful person.

However, even apart from these related households, there are actually some who were recruited by Comrade Zeng through normal channels.

Of course, these merchants do not actually believe that Penguin.com can provide much help to their business. They just give it a try based on the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of it.

Anyway, Penguin doesn’t charge money.

Yes~ don’t charge money, this is actually the last word.

In fact, after knowing this inside story, Chen Li finally understood why Ma Xiaoyun had to give those merchants free services for so long when he was running Treasure Hunters Network in his previous life. It was not until Treasure Hunters Network became the dominant e-commerce company in China that he started charging.

In his previous life, Chen Li had read a lot of relevant information, and most of them praised Ma Xiaoyun for his outstanding vision.

But now Chen Li thinks that it may not be that simple. He even thinks that Ma Xiaoyun at that time probably did not dare to charge.

Before Baobao.com has fully become a phenomenon, if Baobao.com opens a charging model, it is estimated that merchants will definitely lose a lot of money.

After all, there were more e-commerce websites on the market at that time than Baobao.com. If you leave Baobao.com, you can go elsewhere.

Only when Baobao.com has completely grown and become a phenomenon, will those merchants stay on Baobao.com because of the stable traffic of Baobao.com.

Of course ~ Ma Xiaoyun was able to make the right decision at that time, which can actually be regarded as having great foresight.

However, this vision is definitely not as high as the media touts.

Speaking of which, the current relationship between Chen Li and Ma Xiaoyun is actually quite interesting.

Now Chen Li and Ma Xiaoyun are both friends and partners, which means that Chen Li and Ma Xiaoyun cannot become enemies. But they can never become good brothers.

Even though Chen Li usually yells at Ma Xiaoyun, when he should get angry, he doesn't give any face to Ma Xiaoyun.

In the same way, even if Ma Xiaoyun keeps shouting at Chen Li, he will not be lenient when he has the opportunity to take advantage of Chen Li.

This is the real reality!

Speaking of which, Chen Li was "naive" for a while in his previous life. At that time, Chen Li had some savings on hand, and then a friend around him happened to resign from the company, so he wanted to recruit Chen Li to start a business together.

At that time, Chen Li's friend could be said to have a trembling tongue. He deceived Chen Li into almost confusion by saying that he was doing business honestly and making a lot of money steadily.

If Chen Li hadn't been too timid at the time and didn't dare to make a decision in the end, he might have actually started a business with his friend.

Later, this friend invited another friend to start a business together, and it was very successful at the beginning, which made Chen Li regret not participating in it.

At that time, Chen Li thought, this is business. As long as you work hard with your partners and work together to make money, why can't you make the company bigger and stronger and create glory?

Well, Chen Li's two friends actually thought the same way at the time.

After the two started a business together, they went to the nightclub where Chen Li worked for two drinks, and once they even paid for it.

Then there is no more.

Less than three months later, two friends who were originally close to each other ended up parting ways because of starting a business.

Later, Chen Li had drinks with these two people separately, and every time Chen Li could hear something about the other person from their mouths.

It was also because of this time that Chen Li actually understood one thing: these people are actually selfish.

Many things that seem to be natural to you may not actually be so in the eyes of others.

Some things are not what you think they are, they are what they are!

The reason why you think this thing is right may just be because in your perception, this thing is good, or even just good for you.

In the eyes of others, this matter is not beneficial to him, and even if the benefit to him is not greater than that to you, then this matter is unreasonable.

After that, Chen Li understood one thing. If you have a very good friend, then you'd better not start a business with him.

This is why Chen Li obviously has such a good relationship with Li Yuan, but every time Li Yuan said that he would come to work for Chen Li after graduation, Chen Li would reject Li Yuan.

Yes~ Chen Li rejected Li Yuan many times.

From Li Yuan's point of view, his best friend has become prosperous, and it is only natural for him to find a job with Chen Li after he graduates.

But actually from Chen Li's perspective, Li Yuan was actually the employee he was least able to recruit.

As for the reason, it's very simple. Chen Li doesn't want to fall out with Li Yuan one day.

Chen Li can accept Li Yuan as his shareholder, and he can even accept giving Li Yuan a large amount of dividends every year for free, but he will never let Li Yuan join him, whether it is to become his employee or his partner.

Even if Chen Li gave Li Yuan the shares he owned, Chen Li had made it clear to Li Yuan before signing the agreement that these shares were only entitled to dividends.

In this regard, Zhao Xiaoqiu is smarter than Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan was rejected by Chen Li many times, he even had a little temper. On the contrary, Zhao Xiaoqiu directly pinched Li Yuan's ears and scolded the guy.

Don't tell me~ Li Yuan is really just like Zhao Xiaoqiu.

If Chen Li went to reason with him, it would probably take a lot of effort regardless of whether Chen Li was reasonable or not.

But Zhao Xiaoqiu glared and twisted his hands, and Li Yuan surrendered immediately.

Regarding this, Chen Li said that this is probably the legendary thing where one thing drops another thing!

But no matter what, Chen Li still sticks to his principles. He will never work with his brothers and good friends.

Of course, this does not mean that Deng Weimin, Ma Xiaoyun, and Ma Xiaoteng, who worked together with Chen Li, are not true friends.

Chen Li just tried his best to avoid such things happening to the extent possible.

But Chen Li is still willing to be friends with people like Deng Weimin, Ma Xiaoyun, and Ma Xiaoteng, but there will be a limit in between.

Let's put it this way~ When Chen Li drinks with Li Yuan, he can get himself drunk safely and boldly.

When drinking with Deng Weimin, Chen Li could drink himself unconscious. But when drinking with Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Xiaoteng, Chen Li felt the same, and he would definitely not drink again.

Even if someone like Ma Xiaoteng, who is a master at persuading people to drink, makes ridiculous claims, Chen Li says that if he doesn’t drink, he just doesn’t know how to drink.

Without him~ Chen Li and Li Yuan are purely friends and brothers, but they have varying degrees of interests with the latter.

Not to mention Deng Weimin and Ma Xiaoyun, even Ma Xiaoteng, who has the least entanglement with Chen Li's interests, isn't he always thinking about the "team" behind Chen Li?

Otherwise, why did they give Chen Li so many shares? Do you really think they feel guilty for not selling Tengxun to Chen Li before?

That’s only worth 1% of the shares at most!

As for the rest, they all focus on Chen Li’s funds, connections, and the technical “team” behind him.

Of course, Chen Li's purpose in making friends with the other party is naturally not to become good friends or good brothers with him.

If it wasn't for the other party's successful experience in his previous life, and if it wasn't for Chen Lili to catch up with the other party, how could Chen Li have racked his brains to get to know the other party?

To put it bluntly, the proportion of pure emotional factors in the adult world can only be a very small part.

This time Penguin.com completed its first transaction, which is actually a new step in the entanglement of interests between Chen Li and Ma Xiaoteng.

However, even though Chen Li knew very well how important this transaction was to Penguin, he still did not immediately participate in Penguin's celebration.

Because during this period of time, Chen Li has been trying to calm his mother's emotions, which is called "making her happy!"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Ms. Wang, it’s just that she has a slight physical problem.

In fact, this is why Chen Li asked his parents to make a special trip to Yanjing.

Because according to the trajectory of her previous life, Chen Li's mother would get seriously ill in two years.

So this time, Chen Li used the excuse of his parents to travel to Yanjing and asked them to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

Then, it was discovered that Chen Li's mother had a small tumor. Of course, it was benign. This small tumor could even be suppressed with drugs!

In the previous life, Chen Li's mother had to undergo an operation because of this tumor. Although the operation was successful, it also caused some damage to Ms. Wang's body.

Now that the tumor has been detected in advance, Ms. Wang naturally does not need to undergo that surgery again.

However, the word "tumor" is still too lethal for ordinary people.

Even if it was just a benign small tumor, it still had a great emotional impact on Ms. Wang.

Especially when Ms. Wang learned that the doctor did not even recommend that she be hospitalized, Ms. Wang once thought that she was seriously ill and even the hospital was unwilling to admit her.

This made Chen Li dumbfounded, but he knew very well that this was actually just a normal behavior of an ordinary person.

For this reason, Chen Li asked Zhou Xiaoli to help make an appointment at another hospital, and then asked an old professor who had appeared on TV and newspapers to check his mother again.

Finally, after the old professor’s explanation, Ms. Wang realized that she was indeed sick, but the illness was not serious.

Of course, although she knew that there was nothing wrong with her, Ms. Wang still had some minor emotional problems, so during this period, Chen Li has been playing the role of a good son to calm his mother's emotions!

However, Ms. Wang’s endurance was actually much better than Chen Li expected. In less than a week, Ms. Wang seemed to be no different from before. She even shouted for Chen Li to go to work quickly, while she was working in Liu Qingqing.

Accompanied by Chen Guofu, I went to climb the Great Wall together.

Okay~ In fact, Chen Li could see that Ms. Wang's mood was still affected to a certain extent. After all, it was a tumor. Although the tumor was small, a tumor was a tumor.

Not to mention what his mother thought, even Chen Li himself~ after confirming the existence of this tumor, the first thing he thought of was to ask the doctor whether the tumor could be completely eliminated.

However, the advice given by the hospital was that the tumor was too small and benign, so surgery was not recommended at all.

In fact, you only need to take medicine on time to inhibit the growth of tumors, and it will not have any impact on your daily life.

But even so, this matter was still stuck in Chen Li's throat like a thorn.

You know, in the previous life, Chen Li's mother, although the operation was successful in the end, in my mother's words, it was equivalent to going back and forth through the door of death!

Therefore, Chen Li definitely didn't want his mother to suffer such a crime again.

So ~ Zai Chen Li looked at the car shadow going away, just "stupefied" in place.

"Xiaomeng~ Is there any medicine that can directly treat a situation like my mother's?"
