Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Children's Day in 2002 was spent in a busy way. The next day, I just found some time in the afternoon to take Junya and Luffy out for a drink. I saw Luffy and his sister off before returning home.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening.

Thinking that he would have to devote himself to real work in the next day, Ning Zimo turned into a good baby and acted extremely cute that night, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to the two little ones.

But it was a good thing that the family turned their attention from him to Wangcai and Xiaoqiang. At least no one would disturb him when he was busy.

And his parents also have to get used to him leaving the family.

After all, I have grown up.

…

Monday, June 3, 2002, was the fourth day since returning to the Special Administrative Region. At 8:30 in the morning, Ning Zimo was waiting for Li Ying and Wang Ziqi downstairs in the office.

The two of them had already agreed on a location when they came back from Dagu's factory, and Wang Ziqi confidently said that she knew it.

???

Special Zone Pass?

But when Ning Zimo saw the two people coming out of the exit of the building next door, he realized a problem.

"You also live in Lianhua North Village?"

"That's right, didn't I tell you?" Wang Ziqi flicked his ponytail cheerfully and used a head-tilt kill.

Although she didn't know what it meant to tilt her head to kill, it was something that most girls were born with, but Ning Zimo could only choose to ignore it.

"Okay, let's go upstairs."

After taking Li Ying and the two of them to the elevator, Ning Zimo and Mo Fan looked at each other as soon as they entered the door.

"The boss is back! Come and catch him alive!"

"The boss is back!"

"Catch them alive!!"

There were many people in the room that Ning Zimo had never seen before, but Mo Fan's voice actually set the whole room on fire. The air was filled with the atmosphere of a gang den, which almost made Li Ying and Wang Ziqi feel that they had gone wrong.

place.

Han Qinghua came out of the crowd, nodded to Li Ying and Wang Ziqi first, then walked over and stood next to Ning Zimo and faced the crowd, "Guys, this is the legendary boss. Former Beibao's

coo--Ning Zimo."

With Mo Fan and Lin Changxin leading the rebellion, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

In the crowd, Ning Zimo also saw Tang Ruiwen. She stood there openly with a smile on her face, completely different from the timid look she had when he saw her last year.

It seems that even she has integrated into the team.

This year, it’s not just me who is changing.

…

"With 35 people, isn't the old office enough?"

Ning Zimo and a few others sat in a row in the corner by the window, and suddenly felt that he and the others had a sense of déjà vu.

Tang Ruiwen smiled and said, "I was already thinking about finding a new office, but you just happened to come back, so I wanted to wait for you to decide."

"Sure, I'll implement this. This time, we have to find a bigger place." Ning Zimo nodded and said to Li Ying, "Yesterday you talked about the product. We will definitely do it in the future.

With its own designers, the product center needs a large area, so this time we have fully considered the expansion in the next year."

"Is a foreign trade company going to be established so soon?" Han Qinghua asked curiously.

Ning Zimo nodded, crossed his hands behind his head and leaned against the window sill, saying lazily, "Yes, my aunt lent me seven more people at once."

"Mr. Ning borrowed 6 people?" Tang Ruiwen said in a tight tone.

Ning Zimo knew why she was nervous. After all, when Tang Ruiwen moved from Dugu Factory last year, she was a little out of tune with the people in the factory.

"When Jing Cheng, He Jianjia, and Hu Qiang were communicating with the engineering team the day before yesterday, I found that their expression and understanding skills are quite good. I am going to let them build a product center. Han Yu and Gu Hub are two people who have great potential and ability."

Good newcomers, let them do foreign trade sales."

After a pause, Ning Zimo looked at Tang Ruiwen and continued, "Lu Wensheng and Liu Jinhua, one is in charge of purchasing and the other is in charge of internal finance."

Some of the names were unfamiliar, and some of the names were familiar. He could tell it clearly from Tang Ruiwen's eyes at a glance. But when he read out all the names, it was obvious that Tang Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Zimo didn't pay attention to these details. When he was about to speak, he suddenly found that the office door opened.

A middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he saw the dense crowd of eyes in the room, the man immediately froze at the door.

What surprised Ning Zimo was that this person he had met a few days ago was Yang Jian who he met in the car.

"Brother Yang."

"Zimo?"

Yang Jian was also surprised. Before leaving that day, he told this insightful young man that he could come to Lianhua North to find him. But what he didn't expect was that in just a few days, the two met again.

Ning Zimo quickly stood up and called Yang Jian to come to the bed. Tang Ruiwen immediately went to the refrigerator to get water, while Han Qinghua hurriedly brought an extra stool from the side.

Yang Jian and Li Ying just nodded, feeling that this posture was wrong. He noticed that the people in the room were vaguely headed by this young man, which immediately made Yang Jian confused.

"Brother Yang, why are you here?" Ning Zimo was the master after all, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Yang Jian replied slowly, "I've been looking for an office these past two days. I happened to find this building today and just took a look."

After looking around again, Yang Jian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, a young man under 19 years old, could be the boss of such a big company."

Ning Zi smiled silently and did not answer. Li Ying sat on the other side and looked at the two of them with a smile without saying much. At this time, Tang Ruiwen handed over a glass of water at the right time. After Yang Jian nodded and accepted it, Tang Ruiwen sat down again.

On one side.

Yang Jian took a sip and then said, "I originally thought that when I came to the Special Administrative Region, I would find a place and start a new journey. But when I met you in the car that day, what you said had a great impact on me. I just

I wanted to see more first, but who would have thought that I would find you here."

Yang Jian shook his head and smiled, "I have to say, you and I are really destined."

Ning Zimo was also happy, "Brother Yang, I see your demeanor and guess that you were a great person before. How could you possibly shake your military morale after just a few words from me?"

Yang Jian shook his head. He wanted to have a good chat with him from the moment he saw Ning Zimo. He was indeed greatly impacted by Ning Zimo's words in the car that day, so much so that these days he was always thinking about those things.

matter.

Today he saw that this young man actually had his own company, and he was quite emotional. Although there were many people sitting around, he wanted to open up and talk.

"Zimo, vision has nothing to do with age. What you said that day had a great impact on my usual thinking. I think it has a lot to do with my birth.

I am fifty years old and have spent the first half of my life in the system. At the age of 35, I was already the CEO of a large state-owned enterprise with tens of thousands of people.

I entered the air-conditioning industry in 1992. At that time, the state-owned enterprise I worked for was converted from the military industry to civilian use and was engaged in automobile air-conditioning. FAW, Second Automobile Works, and SAIC were all regular customers.

Later, we entered into a joint venture with the French Valeo Group and once planned to merge with several air conditioner manufacturers in Guangdong to develop the household market. Therefore, I was very familiar with my colleagues in the Pearl River Delta and was somewhat famous in the industry.

When Supreme Air Conditioning was still a small broken factory, Li Xinghao (the founder of Supreme Air Conditioning) had to wait for several hours at the Chuting Garden Hotel if he wanted to see me. I took away 90% of his products.

In 1996, Chigo's Taiwanese shareholders withdrew their capital overnight and the suppliers closed down. I saved him with 40 million yuan. Li Xinghao once said, without me, there would be no Supreme."

Yang Jian spoke slowly, not showing off his own experience, but seemed to be talking about another person. He exhaled heavily before continuing:

"Precisely because the position I once stood at was so high, I was more impacted by your thoughts that day. Others can't see it, but it doesn't mean that I can't see it. As of this year, there are more than 400 air-conditioning factories across the country.

Companies like Haier, Midi, Too Bad, and Supreme have already reached a very large scale. Zhonghua’s air conditioner sales this year can reach 2,000,000 units.

It sounds big, but we don’t have the patented compressor technology at all. Even if we build a supporting compressor factory, as you said, most of the profits will not belong to us! The more we produce, the more we sell.

, we are making money. However, the patent fees must not be lost to capitalist countries!"

Yang Jian here became more excited as he talked, and Ning Zimo over there also became excited because he suddenly remembered who this person was.

Yang Jian!

A strange man who had little reputation in the business world in his previous life.

In his previous life, he planted flowers and domestic air-conditioning brands emerged. In 2002, he went south to the Special Administrative Region alone with tens of thousands of dollars, and recruited five college students to stock the five continents of the world by drawing lots.

In less than 10 years, he suddenly entered the air-conditioning industry and turned the brand he created into the top ten in the world in terms of sales volume.

In his previous life, Ning Zimo had known his story by chance. From the bottom of his heart, he admired such private entrepreneurs who dared to fight. Although affected by the times, Yang Jian's vision was not as far-reaching as Ning Zimo's. But

At that time, this man was already a legendary figure, but his reputation was only known to a few people in the circle.

Ning Zimo heard the helplessness in Yang Jian's tone, and also heard that this middle-aged man who had worked in a high position in a state-owned enterprise still had some family integrity in his bones.

Ning Zimo quickly comforted him, "Brother Yang, don't worry too much. After all, this is not a cutting-edge technology. Other countries have accumulated many years of experience in these aspects. You want to say that we can surpass the past all at once?

In line with the development logic of the market.

After all, capitalism has developed so many years before us. Although we have been accelerating to catch up, you have to admit that this is not a temporary thing. Some things can be made up for by more than just time. Our skills are inferior to others, why must we

Focusing on that insurmountable shortcoming, why not find another way?"

"Find another way?" Ning Zimo's perspective of thinking immediately stunned Yang Jian. He had never thought of a tricky way of doing things, and had always wanted to fight back in the field he was good at.

Ning Zimo saw Yang Jian frowning and continued, "Brother Yang, there is a story like this. There was a city with a lot of traffic and people. A Jew saw a business opportunity and opened a gas station.

make money.

The second Jew saw that there was a good flow of people here, so he opened a small supermarket next to it, and the business was also very good.

The third Jew saw it and opened a fast food restaurant nearby, which was also very profitable.

The fourth Jew opened a coffee shop next to it, which was still very profitable.

And faced with the same opportunity, what will happen if all the latecomers are eyeing gas stations?"

Ning Zimo paused, gave Yang Jian some space to think, and then said, "In the past few hundred years of development in the industrial age, we must admit that capitalism is wrapped up in many aspects and was built with great effort.

, we can’t get around it for the time being.

But if we only keep our eyes on the original piece of cake, but ignore the new market opportunities that can stand on the same starting line as capitalist countries, will this be more gain than loss?"

Yang Jian tried to keep up with Ning Zimo's thinking. He felt that he seemed to have touched some edges, but he was not sure. "Market opportunities from the same starting point, you mean?"

Ning Zimo circled the office with his fingers and said loudly, "Like new energy industry, new technology industry, Internet industry, mobile Internet industry. These industries are still in their infancy or have not yet taken off. Countries around the world are

Stand on the same starting line.

In other words, at this stage, we are not far behind others. So, think about it from this perspective. Do you think we are followers of the old era, or leaders of the new era?"

"First-class companies make standards, and second-class companies make brands, Brother Yang."

Yang Jian looked at Ning Zimo's moving eyes and chewed on the meaning behind Ning Zimo's long words.

It took him a long time to respond bitterly, "50 years old, Zimo, I am already 50 years old, and I have gone through more than half of my life. I thought that the height I once stood at was enough for me to see the world clearly, and now I have jumped out of the system.

I started my own business. I also thought about finding a new way to build my own brand in foreign markets. I thought my thinking was broad enough.

But I never expected that your words today made me fully understand that no matter how much I work in the air-conditioning industry, I will make as much money as someone else working in a standard enterprise. My so-called new start is just in someone else's business.

A brand has been made under the standard, and it is even just processed.”

Yang Jian sighed and patted Ning Zimo on the shoulder sadly, "Little brother, I, old Yang, have learned a lesson."

Ning Zimo felt the weight on his shoulders disappear, and saw Yang Jian retracting his arms and looking a little desolate.

Ning Zimo was suddenly touched. Such a senior boss who was still aggressive in middle age was hit by his fearless vision?

Shouldn't the words of comfort have worked in the first place? Why did it still make him discouraged?

An impulse suddenly surged in Ning Zimo's heart, and a magical power spread out from his body, and he blurted out to Yang Jian, "Brother, the new world is so big, if you feel that the previous plan is not enough

It’s suitable, why don’t we go for a adventure together?”

Yang Jian, who was sitting lonely on the stool, heard Ning Zimo's words,

Suddenly a fire seemed to light up in my heart.

He looked up just in time to see that bright smile.

that moment,

Yang Jian felt that there was a door behind him,

A door to a new world.
