Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

In the evening, Xu Xing and his group dispersed in front of the hotel.

Liao Qinyu and others still had to rush back to the company, eager to stay in the office every day and stare at the data changes.

With the remaining six initial team members, Xu Niannian suddenly suggested: "I haven't been to the Internet cafe you mentioned before. Can you show me the private room where you originally typed the code?"

"Okay." There was nothing to do at night, so Xu Xing said simply, "Let's go together. It's been a while since I've been to an Internet cafe. Let's revisit the old place to pay homage to the place where we started our business.

"

"Haha." Xu Niannian curled his lips, "That's where the four of you struggled. I was a fool who was deceived, and I was so stupid that I drew pictures for you at home."

Xu Xing coughed twice, patted his sister on the shoulder, and comforted: "You are still very accurate in your positioning."

"You're looking for a fight, aren't you?" Xu Niannian raised his fist angrily and ran after Xu Xing. He jumped on his back with a flying swoop and slapped him twice on the chest, "Not even that.

You are the one who knows how to lie to me and lie to me! It’s a shame that I’m so nice to you.”

A group of people followed behind, and Li Zhibin gloated about the play: "I told him before that it would not be good to hide it from Sister Niannian like that, so he had to listen."

As he said this, Li Zhibin looked around, but the remaining three girls didn't even pay attention to what he meant, and immediately shrank their necks and stopped talking.

At this time, Li Zhibin suddenly realized that apart from Xu Xing, he seemed to be the only boy in the initial team?

At this moment, Xu Xing ran forward and was not around. Li Zhibin was walking next to the three girls. Suddenly he felt great pressure and silently walked two steps slower to follow the crowd.

The hotel is not far from the Internet cafe. A few people were chatting and laughing, and we walked to the Internet cafe in ten minutes.

Yao Yuanyuan walked into the Internet cafe door first, said a few words to the front desk, and then led the large team upstairs to the place where they had fought two months ago.

Well, the main thing is that Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan are fighting in it, Yao Yuanyuan is an accountant, and Li Zhibin is just running errands and doing odd jobs, with no practical use at all.

Xu Niannian followed behind and looked inside curiously.

The bed where Yan Chijuan slept is still here, and this private room has not been rented out since they left.

Usually when someone books a private room, the front desk allocates several other rooms first. There are only a few people who reserve a private room, so this room has always been empty, and even the interior layout has not changed.

"So this is where Yanchi vinegar was sleeping in the first place?" Xu Niannian looked at this simple single bed and felt a little distressed for no reason. Combined with what Xu Xing had told her about Yanchi vinegar before, he had no idea about this little one.

The girl felt even more pity.

In comparison, she slept on the big cotton bed at home and used a high-end computer in the study. The conditions were many times better.

The private room is not very big, and you can see the whole thing after looking around.

In addition to a single bed by the window, there is a sofa and coffee table near the door. In addition, there is a row of computer desks and chairs against the wall.

Xu Xing pulled up a chair in the middle and sat down, then patted the seat next to him and said to several people: "Come on, come on, we are here anyway, let's play on the computer for a while."

Xu Niannian took the lead to sit down on the left side of Xu Xing, and Yu Youjia followed him to sit by the window.

Yan Chijuan followed suit and sat to the right of Xu Xing, while Yao Yuanyuan sat on the right by the corner.

The five chairs were immediately filled, and only Li Zhibin was left standing alone in the middle of the private room, looking at the five people with a speechless and helpless expression.

"Abin, I just told the front desk to prepare some drinks and snacks. You go down and see if they have been brought up." Yao Yuanyuan turned on the computer and said to Li Zhibin. She felt like she was back to the time when she could order Li Zhibin around at will.

Although he has been making waves in Kyoto these days, signing tens of millions of financing letters of intent, and meeting many future Internet bosses, Li Zhibin still prefers this feeling.

He even responded naturally, turned around and walked out of the private room: "I'll go take a look and I'll be back soon."

In the end, Yu Youjia, who was still only half of the founding team, was a little embarrassed and asked softly to Xu Niannian and Xu Xing: "How about I give up my position? It will be given to Li Zhibin later."

"No, no, no." Xu Xing waved his hand, "That kid is like this. If you make room for him and he sits in the seat, he will probably look at you twice when he touches the keyboard and mouse. He will definitely feel embarrassed and can't play. It’s not comfortable to play.”

"I think you are just bullying Li Zhibin." Xu Niannian curled his lips and complained, "It was the same before. I asked him to pretend to be Jun Jiu'er's younger brother to sign the contract for me, but it turned out that you were the one behind it."

"Then why don't you give up your seat?"

"I think A Bin should just sit on the sofa and play mobile games."

"Look, you're not much better."

"Why didn't you give up your position?"

"How dare he sit if I give in?" Xu Xing laughed.

Li Zhibin had been extremely nervous just playing a double queue game with Yao Yuanyuan before, let alone sitting in the middle of four girls.

I'm afraid I'll look like a zombie as soon as I sit down, and I can't even understand the keyboard.

After a while, Li Zhibin came up with drinks and snacks and distributed them to everyone one by one.

In the end, Yao Yuanyuan stood up and gave way to her position, and said to Li Zhibin: "My mother sent me a message and asked me to go down. You can help me play first."

…

Five people were playing League of Legends in five rows in a private room. Yu Youjia had played with her boyfriend before, but she was just a bit good at it. Xu Niannian was a complete scammer, and her account had just been created.

Fortunately, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan's skills were excellent, and Li Zhibin's level was passable. In addition, the five people on the opposite side were all on the team with girls or rookies, so the fight between the two sides was back and forth.

After winning a few games with difficulty, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

The group of people dispersed at the entrance of the Internet cafe. Yao Yuanyuan went back to her home, Yu Youjia also took a taxi back, Li Zhibin went home, Xu Xing and Xu Niannian also had to go home. After all, they were in Kyoto for the five days before National Day, and they still had to accompany them for the remaining two days. Accompanying parents.

So in the end, only Yan Chijuan was left with nowhere to go and had no choice but to go back to the rental house.

"Bye, I can just go back by myself. It's very close by taking the subway."

Yan Chijiu waved to everyone, and everyone left and went back to their homes.

【Xu Xing】: Do you want me to take you off? I can take you back and then go home.

[Yan Chi Jian]: No need, Mr. Xu, how could you ask your boss to send his secretary home?

[Xu Xing]: I see your butt is itchy again.

【Yanchi vinegar】: No way~

[Yan Chi Jian]: Mr. Xu should go home early and spend more time with his uncle and aunt.

[Xu Xing]: Are you sure you're fine?

[Yanchi vinegar]: It’s okay.

On the way home, Xu Xing took his mobile phone to chat with Yan Chijiu on WeChat. Xu Niannian was walking beside him and asked curiously: "Who are you talking to?"

"Ah Bin." Xu Xing quickly switched to Li Zhibin's chat interface and casually sent him a message.

Xu Niannian did not doubt that he was there. When he walked to his supermarket at the entrance of the community, he went in and took out two sticks of pudding. He put one in his mouth and gave another to Xu Xing.

The brother and sister ate little pudding all the way back home, stopped on the fourth floor, and each took out their keys and opened the door.

"I'll take a bath first and come to play with you later." Xu Niannian opened the door and entered the room to slip on his shoes, and said to Xu Xing opposite, "Don't fall asleep."

"Why are you playing with me in the middle of the night? I have to go to the company tomorrow." Xu Xing just inserted the key into the door and said as he turned it, "Can't you go to bed early?"

"It's only 9:30 to sleep? And tomorrow is the last day of the National Day, and I don't go to work."

"My boss has to go to work."

"The boss won't deduct wages for being late." Xu Niannian laughed and said, "Why are you so sloppy? I don't want to play with you all night, I just come over later to relieve my boredom."

"Okay, okay, then wash up quickly." Xu Xing waved his hand, opened the door and walked into the house, "Bring a little pudding here by the way."

…

Walking into the living room, Xu Xing found that his parents had already returned home.

Two people were sitting at the dinner table. There were several pieces of paper on the table, and Xu Jian was still writing and drawing on them. He didn't know what they were discussing.

Neither of them noticed Xu Xing's return. The discussion was very loud, and they even started to quarrel when it got heated.

"What's going on?" Xu Xing asked curiously as he approached.

"It's not your dad. He still pretends to have such a good opportunity and analyzes this and that with me. He is willing to invest so much money just because he thinks there is a chance. He is still hesitating here." Sun Wanhui said a little bit.

angry.

Xu Jian also frowned and tapped the pen in his hand on the table: "I find it a little strange. Originally it was a normal business cooperation, why did it suddenly become an investment and shareholding? We are just starting out.

It’s just a small company.”

"Can you please explain clearly what it is?" Xu Xing was a little confused when he heard it. He looked at Sun Wanhui first and said, "Mom, please explain it first."

A few minutes later.

After listening to Sun Wanhui's explanation, Xu Xing finally had some understanding of the current situation.

To put it bluntly, when Pei Qinglan first came here, she simply listened to the discussions between the factory director Yan Hongzhi and Xu Jian about the cooperation methods for customizing hot-selling products.

As a result, Pei Qinglan became interested when she discovered that Xu Xing was the son of Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui, and that it was Xu Xing who originally proposed this idea.

Even after the dinner, Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui were left alone to put forward their own ideas.

First, you can invest five million, which only accounts for 15% of the shares.

Second, the foundry takes a stake in technology production, accounting for 5%.

Third, invite Xu Jian to come over and serve as the deputy manager of the production department, specifically responsible for docking orders from Sun Wanhui.

In addition, there are some contractual constraints, including some priority and anti-dilution clauses on Pei Qinglan's side if there is a need for financing in the future, which are all routine content.

After hearing these conditions, Sun Wanhui was actually quite happy to accept them.

After all, what limits their business scale now, apart from the production efficiency of the foundry, is that their own cash flow is not enough to support their rapid expansion, so they can only do it bit by bit.

But if you accept Pei Qinglan's conditions, then all the above problems will naturally be solved.

As for Xu Jian's problem here, it is actually very simple.

After all, he is still the deputy manager of the production department of the original factory. Although he has been sidelined, he has stayed there for more than ten or twenty years. After falling in love, he is not forced to leave, but he is really reluctant to leave.

Another concern is that he and Sun Wanhui were not business people before. Now they have accepted a huge investment of 5 million, and the other party only asked for 20% of the shares. This will make Xu Jian more or less very powerful.

pressure.

However, in Xu Xing's view, e-commerce companies themselves are companies linked to the Internet, and the financing methods are similar. Five million plus technical production shares, accounting for 20%, is actually not bad.

But Pei Qinglan obviously paid a premium.

He was probably trying to show his favor to Xu Xing behind the scenes.

And since dad can resign from his original factory to avoid the impact of the fire in his previous life, and can also be transferred to a foundry factory to work in the same position, I have to say it is a very tempting suggestion.

"Dad, the e-commerce industry is linked to Taobao, and it has the characteristics of the Internet. If you are worried about there being a problem, you can ask your uncle." Xu Xing said this, but he actually had a plan in his heart.

When the time comes, tell Xu Yi, and Xu Yi will naturally find a way to persuade Xu Jian to accept this suggestion.

The words spoken by Xu Xing, a son, are definitely not as reliable as those spoken by Xu Yi, an Internet veteran.

"Yes." Sun Wanhui immediately nodded in agreement, "You can also ask your brother. He works at a certain degree, and he must know more about this than us. We will find out if we ask tomorrow."

"Okay, let's not talk today." Xu Jian rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired.

In the past two months or so, he has visited more than a dozen foundries. A few large manufacturers have directly rejected him, while others can be negotiated one after another.

But when I asked the sales manager of the other party to go out for dinner, either the price was too high, or the order volume was not stable enough or large.

There are even people who specialize in eating for lunch. They just keep chatting with you. In fact, when they have nothing to do, they just happen to go out to eat with their colleagues, and Xu Jian can still pay for it.

It went too far and directly dragged Xu Jian to karaoke and bars. Xu Jian, the deputy manager of the production department, had never been in sales before, so he really suffered a lot. The money was spent, but the results were not much.

We had previously negotiated an agreement with a foundry, but it only lasted half a month. Because we received a larger order, we gave up on them.

In order to sign the contract in the first place, Xu Jian did not impose any high penalty for breaking the contract, and in the end it was settled.

Sun Wanhui has always supported him and has no complaints in this regard. It's just that Xu Jian is under a lot of pressure. Compared with the current factory director Yan, he finally sees the light of day.

As a result, after dinner, Mr. Pei stayed behind and suddenly smashed a bigger cake over, which made him a little overwhelmed and instinctively wanted to resist this risk.

But Xu Xing is not too worried. Pei Qinglan is showing goodwill here. Even if Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui mess up later, Xu Xing can help them make amends in other ways.

As for Pei Qinglan, Xu Xing has a lot of high-quality projects on his hands, and it feels a little painful to just burn the money he earned.

At that time, we can completely separate it and talk to Pei Qinglan's investment company about cooperation.

As long as we hold the gaming business, which provides cash flow, and WeChat Assistant, the future strategic core, in our hands, we may not necessarily need to keep other projects firmly in our hands.

When the time comes, finding a partner like Pei Qinglan is a good choice.

…

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Niannian took a shower and slipped over to Xu Xing's side.

Xu Xing had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a pair of underwear and short sleeves. When she arrived at the door, Xu Niannian opened the door. Then she saw her in a nightgown that only reached her thighs, with her two long white legs clearly exposed to the air.

When he saw it, he subconsciously took half a step back.

"Close the door yourself." Xu Xing quickly turned around and walked back to his bedroom. He took out a pair of pajamas from the closet that he rarely wore, and put them on, which relieved the embarrassment.

Xu Niannian closed the door and slipped in from the outside. He stuffed the little pudding he brought into Xu Xing's hand and jumped onto Xu Xing's bed. He immediately turned around and saw his extra pajamas, and immediately laughed to himself.

When they shared a house next to the entrepreneurial park, Xu Niannian was carefree and could always joke and play with Xu Xing because of the presence of Yan Chijie, but it was hard for him to break into his brother's bedroom in the middle of the night.

But it's different when I get home.

Yan Chi is not jealous here. Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui are not surprised by the good relationship between the siblings. They even slept together when they were in elementary school.

Xu Xing opened the little pudding and stuffed it into his mouth, then took out his mobile phone and played some games with Xu Niannian.

Since Fruit Assassin launched a two-player mode, Secret Escape has also launched a battle mode.

After connecting with a friend, the two of them will enter the same map, and the other party's character will turn into a ghost and appear simultaneously on the phone screen.

Then the two people will move forward at the same speed, and whoever fails first will win.

The two fought for more than an hour, and Xu Niannian had a few more little turtles on his face. Finally, he smashed his cell phone on the bed angrily.

Tired from playing, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted boringly.

Xu Niannian asked: "You said before that you would arrange a special project for me, but you haven't told me yet, what is it?"

"Oh, this." Xu Xing remembered this and said, "I plan to develop games for women. In this regard, you and Senior Yu are both girls, and you are jealous of Yan Chi, so I plan to form a team for you.

team."

"Games for women?"

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded, "There are probably two directions in this area. One is a dress-up game, and the other is a love game. Our first project will be a dress-up game."

"Tell me more about it?" Xu Niannian became interested and approached Xu Xing sideways. He put one leg on Xu Xing's thigh and rubbed it in a pretending manner, "How do you play it?"

"Uh..." Xu Xing stretched out his hand to hold down the guy's white legs, and threw them to the side, "This market is still blank for domestic mobile games. To put it simply, it is to design a heroine, and then design certain levels and stories.

The plot allows the heroine to gain new clothes as she progresses through levels, allowing players to collect various outfits and even DIY their own suits.”

"I'll give you the specific plans after the National Day. I have to deal with Gong Ao in the past two days."

"Anyway, you will be in charge when the time comes. Yu Youjia and Yan Chijuan will help you form a team. Just think of it as practice. Let's get used to the first game first. There is no need to pursue results."

The core gameplay of the dress-up game is actually very simple, but if you want to design the levels and details well, you still need to spend a lot of energy and research.

Although Xu Xing can control the general direction, when it comes to specific content, Xu Niannian and the others still have to explore it themselves. After all, Xu Xing has never played this game in his previous life.

However, Xu Niannian's brain circuit was obviously different. After listening to Xu Xing's project plan, she suddenly laughed: "I have already thought of the heroine's name."

"What?"

"Jun Jiu'er~"

Xu Xing: "...?"

…

At 11:30 in the middle of the night, Xu Xing finally sent Xu Niannian away.

After returning to the bedroom, he took out his mobile phone, looked at the messages on WeChat Assistant, and replied to the message from Liao Qinyu.

I was just about to send a message to Yan Chijiu to say good night, when I received a WeChat message from my little secretary.

[Yan Chi Jian]: Xu Xing, what should I do if I miss you?

In the dark bedroom, Xu Xing was lying on the bed. The moment he saw these words, he felt that a soft part of his heart was hit.

This kind of direct feeling that my girlfriend misses me in the middle of the night is really unexpected.

Xu Xing tapped the screen on his mobile phone and typed a long list of words.

Just when he was about to send it out, his fingers paused again, and then deleted them all.

The next second, Xu Xing jumped out of the bed. Without even thinking about changing his clothes, he quietly walked out of the room, opened the door, and escaped from the house without making any sound.

The moment he closed the door to his home, he immediately ran downstairs and ran all the way to the entrance of the community. He ran towards the shared house while watching the cars passing by on the street.

After seeing a taxi, he immediately stopped one and rushed towards Brilliance Home.

…

Early morning.

Yan Chijuan was lying on the bed, with her mobile phone beside the pillow.

She lay on her side and closed her eyes, squinting for a few seconds, then immediately opened her eyes and opened WeChat on her phone to take a look.

After not seeing Xu Xing's reply, she put down the phone with a disappointed look on her face and closed her eyes again, thinking that Xu Xing must have gone to sleep.

But she was afraid that Xu Xing would suddenly send a message in the middle of the night and she would not be able to reply in time, so after a few seconds, she opened her eyes again, opened her phone and took a look at WeChat, and then left disappointed again.

I don't know how many times this happened.

Until Yan Chijuan was about to fall asleep, Mimi Huhu picked up her phone and took a look at it for the last time.

At this time.

Xu Xing suddenly sent a message.

【Xu Xing】:Are you asleep?

With a flick of the brush, Yan Chijuan sat up from the bed. His sleepiness was gone. A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He held his phone stupidly and replied to the message in seconds.

【Yanchi vinegar】: I haven’t slept yet.

【Xu Xing】: Then come and open the door for me.

Upon seeing the news, Yan Chijiu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and asked in surprise and anxiety.

[Yan Chi Jian]: Are you here? Really?

[Xu Xing]: Hurry, I came in a hurry, I didn’t even change into my pajamas, the driver stared at me all the way, and I didn’t even take the keys.

【Yanchi vinegar】:I’m coming!

After sending this message, Yan Chiju immediately got out of bed. He didn't even have time to find slippers. He opened the bedroom door with his bare feet and ran all the way to the door.

After opening the door suddenly.

outside the door.

Xu Xing held the phone and looked at her with a smile.

"Xu Xing!"

Yan Chijuan happily threw herself into Xu Xing's arms without even thinking about it.

"You won't call me Mr. Xu this time?"

"You can call me whatever you like." Yan Chiju buried his face in Xu Xing's arms, feeling relieved.
