Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Returning to the Country for Investment_1

Speaking of Ruan Xiaozhu’s "personal problem", Wang Ye was skeptical about her sexual orientation...

Even in the "past life," Wang Ye had never seen Ruan Xiaozhu get particularly close to any boy.

She didn’t even have a boyfriend when she had an accident.

This life, Ruan Xiaozhu is about to graduate from university, still without a boyfriend, although there are not a few boys chasing her.

However, this is her personal privacy issue, and Wang Ye didn’t feel comfortable asking too many questions.

What he can do for Ruan Xiaozhu is to give her a career and expose her to more excellent people.

Wang Ye changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Xiaozhu, will you continue your studies or return to work in China after graduation next year?"

Ruan Xiaozhu gave him a look and said: "Of course I’m staying. As for whether to continue my studies...I’ll decide when the time comes. I might study, but if I do, I will work at the same time. It’s not fun at all to go back to China, so I won’t!"

Technically, Ruan Xiaozhu’s dad holds some sway. As long as she’s willing to work in China, he could definitely arrange a nice job for her.

However, times change. If it wasn’t for Wang Ye’s "rebirth," and Ruan Xiaozhu’s chance to control Huaxing Communications Company, she would definitely be considering job opportunities in Russia.

After all, staying in Moscow doesn’t offer many good job opportunities.

But now it’s different. She has become the shareholder and general manager of Huaxing Communications. No matter whether it is income or social status, they will not be worse if she had gone back!

Plus, Moscow is an international metropolis, which is much stronger than being a public servant in her small hometown.

So Ruan Xiaozhu didn’t want to go back.

"That’s good too; you are my only family. If you leave, I’ll be so alone and pitiful," Wang Ye said laughingly.

He’s pretty glad that Ruan Xiaozhu doesn’t want to return to China.

"But I have to go back for Spring Festival this year. It’s been almost a year and a half since I’ve been back home. Are you going back for the Spring Festival?" Ruan Xiaozhu asked with concern.

Wang Ye thought for a moment, then hesitated: "I can’t say for sure yet, we’ll see how busy I am then. I’ll have a lot to do at the end of the year, and I might not be able to go back."

In fact, he also wanted to go back and see his parents during the Spring Festival and find a way to leave some money for his family to improve their lives.

He’s living the high life in Moscow, surrounded by luxury cars and elites, but letting his parents live frugally in a small county in China just doesn’t sit right.

Wang Ye wanted to find an opportunity to "restrictively" inform his parents about some things. At least he wanted them to believe that he had earned a substantial amount of money and would not have to worry about his tuition or living expenses...

If his parents wanted to retire, that would be even better. Wang Ye could let them choose a city to settle in and buy a large house for them!

Of course, this is unlikely, since his parents are still relatively young. They might not be willing to retire so early.

Especially his dad, who’s a workaholic...

Talking of going home reminded Wang Ye of something else, and he laughed: "Although I’m not sure if I can go home for the Spring Festival, I should be going back to Peng City in a few days. But I won’t go back to the Central Plains."

"Huh? Why are you going to Peng City?" Ruan Xiaozhu asked surprisingly.

"There’s a business deal to discuss. It won’t take long. I’ll fly back as soon as the talk ends." Wang Ye didn’t elaborate, because Ruan Xiaozhu wouldn’t understand anyway.

He naturally heads to Peng City to meet with Tencent!

According to what Wang Ye knew, Tencent also faced a big problem this year, and didn’t escape from the global Internet winter either.

Tencent was on the verge of bankruptcy this year...

However, Tencent or Little Brother Ma was rather fortunate; they met a benefactor when things were tough!

As Little Brother Ma had said himself, in the difficult year of 2001, he had considered selling Tencent for 3 million CNY!

He even shamelessly approached Manager Zhang of Sohu, trying to sell his company, but Manager Zhang outrightly declined.

Because as Lao Zhang said, Tencent’s software copied foreign chat software and didn’t have any technical content.

He could just brief a few programmers and in a month they will be able to make software similar to Tencent’s!

Even better than Tencent’s, offering a better user experience.

Three million?

Isn’t this just deceiving gullible people!

Just as Little Brother Ma was on the verge of despair, a benefactor appeared in his life – South Africa’s MIH Investment Company.

The company not only invested nearly 20 million US dollars into Tencent, but also gave them a sky-high valuation!

Little Brother Ma, who originally wanted to sell his company for 3 million CNY, was given a valuation of 60 million US dollars. This left Little Brother Ma in doubt about whether they were messing with him...

It’s this investment that let Tencent Company weather the global Internet winter for three years, paving the way for it to become one of China’s dominant internet companies in later years.

But now that Wang Ye is "back," I guess it’s not MIH’s turn to play the benefactor anymore!

......

While they were chatting, Liu Jun and Xiao Hu walked in together.

As soon as Xiao Hu saw Wang Ye, he enthusiastically greeted him: "Brother Ye, long time no see. You’ve been pretty busy lately, haven’t you?"

Wang Ye clapped Xiao Hu on the shoulder and laughed, "I’m fine. However, I heard you’re doing pretty great, managing the company efficiently and expanding the business."

Xiao Hu waved his hand quickly and said, "This is nothing compared to Brother Ye. By the way, Brother Ye, I heard that your New Sun Market can legally clear customs now?"

"Yes, we just got it done. Now the customers in the market can get the customs clearance list and they no longer have to worry about their goods being seized by the tax police," Wang Ye nodded and said.

"Then I also want to clear customs for our company’s goods through your company. The regular customs clearance company we are dealing with now is legitimate, but their efficiency is too low and their speed is too slow," Xiao Hu said with a frown.

Wang Ye casually said, "No problem, you can find any spot in the market, and then use the name of that spot to ship and clear the customs. It will take about twenty days for the goods to be shipped from China to here, and the procedures are complete. They can be entered into any legitimate sales channel."

Xiao Hu was thrilled and expressed his gratitude right away.

This is the power of the franchise that Wang Ye secured. It’s very attractive to businessmen like Xiao Hu who conduct legitimate business.

Everyone arrived, and as it was almost five in the afternoon, they all got up and ready to have dinner in the restaurant upstairs.

Familiar Western restaurant, familiar flavour, plus today’s dining companions are all old acquaintances; Wang Ye felt exceptionally relaxed.

Although he often dined with Khodorkovsky, A Bu, Gavriil, or even The Emperor, those meals were tiring since his brain needed to run at high speed to avoid saying the wrong thing.

Today is different. He can just chat and say whatever he wants to say...
