"Dongxu, do you think they can make it?" After considering it for half the day, Cheng Yazhou always felt this matter was unreliable.
Neither of them were Ge Dongxu. If it had been after college graduation, perhaps he would consider investing so money in them, but right now they had just graduated from high school and had no damn social experience at all. Giving them seven or eight million to start a company out of the blue, and even possibly adding over a hundred million in the following two years, Cheng Yazhou always felt it was extrely unreliable.
"Whether they make it or not, we have to try to find out. I'm quite optimistic about the future of computers, as well as Yifan's technical potential. As for Lehao, I think he has a lucky face, and he's actually smart too. The only shortcoming is that he's a bit lazy. If you don't put pressure on him, his laziness might get worse, but if you do give him so pressure, perhaps it'll be a whole different story," Ge Dongxu said.
"So, you're using money to cultivate Yifan and my kid." Cheng Yazhou was astute, and his body shook slightly upon hearing this, looking at Ge Dongxu gratefully.
"It's not all about that, as I said, I'm quite optimistic about the future of computers and both of them. If my funds were limited, of course, I would be cautious, but right now I'm not short on money, so why not invest and see? The initial outlay is just a few million anyway, it's just a loss if it fails, but at least we can try out this industry's depth and let them gain so experience. It's like killing two birds with one stone," Ge Dongxu said.
"Now that you've put it that way, I have to support them no matter what, as their father," Cheng Yazhou said.
"Heh heh, then it's settled. This sumr vacation, they'll both follow you to learn. Let them have a go at it as much as possible and try to make decisions on their own," Ge Dongxu said.
"Mhm, I understand. Actually, when I was their age, Lehao's grandfather had already let fly solo and run businesses. It's simply that now everyone's an only child, living conditions have improved, and we've ended up spoiling them," Cheng Yazhou said.
Following that, the four of them discussed the specifics of setting up the company.
When it ca to the details, it beca apparent how much effort and expertise Du Yifan had put into computing and the internet field.
He talked about the search engines that had just appeared in the last two years, about email, about gas, and he even talked about enterprise managent software, about overseas...
In short, if they were really going to start a computer company, there were many directions they could develop in.
To Cheng Yazhou, an outsider to the field, all of this was an entirely new domain, and he listened in a daze. Ge Dongxu and Cheng Le Hao, however, had been under the sa roof as Du Yifan for nearly a year, had been influenced by him, and being young, were more receptive to new things than Cheng Yazhou. Even Ge Dongxu had learned a bit of programming in his spare ti, so after listening, he felt even more that this field had potential for developnt.
"I didn't expect this, kiddo, you already had so many ideas in your head. It seems I need to catch up on my studies quickly; otherwise, even the CEO position might get snatched by you, the tech guy," Cheng Le Hao said after listening, patting Du Yifan heavily on the shoulder.
"Ha ha, if you have that kind of thinking, I'm relieved," Cheng Yazhou said, laughing happily when he saw this.
"Tsk, I've always had ideas, okay? It's you who keeps shooting down! Look at Dongxu, he has great vision; you should learn from him, you hear!" Cheng Le Hao gave his dad a white look, leaving Cheng Yazhou frustrated and so vexed he gave him a roasted chestnut knock on the head.
...
After estimating their scores, they filled out their university preferences, had a class reunion, and a feast to thank their teachers.
At the class reunion and the farewell banquet for the teachers, everyone felt inevitably sentintal, and Ge Dongxu was no exception.
Next ca the waiting for college admission notices. Regardless of how well or poorly one has done, all was set in stone, and a weight had been lifted off everyone's shoulders. With everything settled, they let loose and had fun.
Since attending high school in the county seat, Ge Dongxu had felt he hadn't spent much ti with his parents, so he had returned to his hotown, hoping to spend quality ti with them. anwhile, Du Yifan and Cheng Lehao, who should have been enjoying their leisure ti, were more diligent than ever.
Not only did they start helping Cheng Yazhou with the preparatory work for setting up a branch factory, but also they used every spare mont to study.
Of course, before leaving Changxi County to travel with Cheng Yazhou, Du Yifan had to inform his parents about the company's establishnt.
When Du Haichen and his wife heard that Ge Dongxu and Cheng Yazhou planned to invest seven to eight million in a company and that their son would own twenty-five percent of the shares simply through his technical expertise, amounting to nearly two million in assets, they were almost shocked speechless. Then they insisted that this was not acceptable, saying that their family already owed Ge Dongxu much gratitude and could not take such a big advantage of him. In the end, it took much persuasion from Ge Dongxu and Cheng Yazhou for the couple to reluctantly agree. Nonetheless, they instructed Du Yifan in private to rember his roots: no matter how the company developed, he must always heed Ge Dongxu's advice.
Interestingly, when Ge Dongxu returned ho intending to spend more ti with his parents, he found they were so busy with the farm-stay business at its peak season that they had no ti to pay attention to him. They were quite happy in their busyness, often leaving him to run around like a jack-of-all-trades at their beck and call.
Though the multimillionaire Ge Dongxu was tasked with the servile work by his parents, he found joy in it. Every evening, when the family sat down for dinner after a day's work, sipping wine and observing his parents' content expressions, Ge Dongxu felt life was indeed very good.
Deep into the night, at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, all was silent except for the intermittent croaking of frogs and chirping of insects.
In the courtyard, Ge Dongxu sat cross-legged.
Nine Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades were placed around him according to their directions.
Strands of moonlight swirled around him, diffusing speckles of rosy light under the moon that cast Ge Dongxu in a particularly solemn and dignified air.
True Qi flowed inside the ridians and the organs where the Qi wheels had been established, circulating in a specific sequence over and over again, constantly growing stronger and purer.
When True Qi swelled like a raging river, with both the ridians and the Qi wheel-bearing organs struggling to contain it, Ge Dongxu resolutely guided the True Qi through the Foot Taiyang Bladder ridian, eventually directing it gently into the bladder.
Familiar severe pain caused Ge Dongxu's body to tremble slightly. However, his Sea of Consciousness was clearer than before, like an immaculate mirror reflecting every change occurring inside the bladder, allowing him to adjust the True Qi according to the transformations within at any mont.
Gradually, a Qi wheel began to form in the bladder, infusing it with a vital essence that nourished and strengthened the organ.
At last, Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer had been reached!
In the depths of the night, Ge Dongxu opened his eyes, filled with joy.
