I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

When Li Zhe was very young, almost in junior high school, he also liked to read Yilin, Reader, and biographies of successful people.

When I was young, I read those chicken soup stories for the soul and felt very inspired and encouraged.

But as he grew older, he understood that Chicken Soup for the Soul was all a whitewashed lie, a thing that poisoned people's hearts.

For example, there is a widely circulated story about picking up waste paper from the ground during an interview.

The reality is that it doesn’t matter to you, you have no connections, no education, let alone picking up waste paper, it’s useless to kneel down and beg others.

Everyone knows that Bill Gates dropped out of college and started from scratch, but behind the scenes is that his mother is a director of IBM, and his largest business was facilitated by his mother.

It doesn’t matter if ordinary people don’t have money or power, it’s too difficult to succeed.

Although he disagreed with many of Liu Yufei's ideas, it did not prevent Li Zhe from having a good chat with her.

The characteristic of senior Internet article writers is that they know a little bit about everything, but are not good at anything. They read too little and understand too little, and they cannot write Internet articles.

I see that Liu Yufei likes to talk about philosophy and learn this aspect of her mind.

He didn't quite understand the books she mentioned, such as "Conversations with God" and "Between a Thought", so Li Zhe began to talk about consciousness and personality.

How does consciousness arise? What is the relationship between you in the past, you in the future, and you now? Is the world conscious or material? Is the world virtual?

He kept getting further and further away.

Ordinary girls would definitely not be interested in what Li Zhe said, but Liu Yufei, a literary young woman, was different. She listened with great interest and was thinking about it seriously.

In fact, what Li Zhe said was popular science knowledge that was widely available in short videos of later generations, but it seemed very novel to people of this era.

Seeing that Li Zhe and Liu Yufei were having a lively chat while Yang Function was being left aside, he felt very uncomfortable.

It was obviously her date with Li Zhe, why did Liu Yufei become the protagonist?

She shouldn't have brought him here.

She also tried to join in, but she couldn't pick up the conversation between Li Zhe and Liu Yufei.

Yang Function occasionally reads books, but she mainly reads novels, comics, and magazines. For example, her favorite comic is "Naruto" and she is a senior Naruto fan.

The three of them played billiards for more than an hour, and then went to sit in a wine bar for a while.

Liu Yufei looked at the time. It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. She said with a little regret, "It's getting late. I should go back."

It's rare to meet a confidant like Li Zhe. In the past, when she talked about these topics with others on the set, no one was interested.

Li Zhe glanced at her and said with a smile: "Yufei, how about we leave a phone number?"

He wanted to leave Liu Yufei's phone number. He really didn't want to be a dragon knight, he just thought she had a good personality and could make a friend.

"Okay!" Liu Yufei nodded with a smile.

Seeing Li Zhe and Liu Yufei exchange phone numbers with each other, Yang Function felt even more unwilling and annoyed.

Her head was definitely caught by the door panel, otherwise why would she have brought Liu Yufei here?

The three of them left the club together and came to the door. Li Zhe glanced at Yang Function and said, "Xiao Mi, if you are not in a hurry to go back, just come to my place and sit for a while. I will ask the bodyguard to drive you back. "

After a pause, he added, "My assistant and secretary are also here."

Li Zhe said this last sentence to Liu Yufei.

After all, the entertainment industry is notoriously chaotic.

Otherwise, there would be no way to politely say C.

He invited Yang Function to sit at his house late at night, which could easily be misunderstood as going to his house.

Hearing Li Zhe invite her to his home, Yang Function suddenly showed joy on his face, "Brother Zhe, I won't bother you!"

Then she said to Liu Yufei: "Qianxi, I won't go with you."

Liu Yufei nodded, "Xiao Mi, Mr. Li, I'll leave first."

Seeing Liu Yufei's Mercedes-Benz G drive away, Li Zhe took Yang Function back to the apartment.

Following Li Zhe into the apartment, Yang Function looked around and said in a sighing tone: "Brother Zhe, your house is too luxurious! I wonder when I can afford such a good house?"

Li Zhe listened and smiled, "This house is not expensive, you will be able to afford it soon."

What he said is not expensive is relative to the high-income group of celebrities like Yang Function.

Ordinary people can't afford this kind of top-end apartment in a few lifetimes.

Yang Function shook his head in disbelief, "How can it be as easy as you said?"

Although she debuted in 2002, her early star income was not particularly high, and she was a small actor, so her income was even less.

After eight years, I have saved a little money, but it is only compared to ordinary people, and it is really not rich among celebrities.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be on the Forbes celebrity list.

"Brother Zhe, can you teach me a lesson?" Yang Function suddenly said coquettishly.

"What should I teach you?" Li Zhe glanced at her.

"The secret to making money!"

"Brother Zhe, you must have a secret to making money, right? Teach me!"

Only two years after starting his business, he already has a net worth of 3.6 billion and is on the rich list. In Yang Function's view, people like Li Zhe are business geniuses. If you can get his guidance, you will definitely gain endless benefits.

"It's true that there are no secrets to making money, but why should I teach you?" Li Zhe said funny.

Yang Function looked at him, suddenly took two steps forward, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the face.

"You can teach me now!" she said with a smile.

Li Zhe was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yang Yehua to be so bold and dare to take advantage of him.

"Mr. Li!" Ruan Jing and Huo Mengyan heard the commotion and came out of the room. They happened to bump into the scene just now. They couldn't help but feel very embarrassed, neither advancing nor retreating.

Li Zhe saw that the two of them looked strange, and it was obvious that they had misunderstood.

He shouldn't have brought Yang Yehua back.

As expected, don’t pick wild flowers on the roadside.

Fortunately, Bai Wei didn't see it, otherwise she would have become more prejudiced against him.

Thinking like this, Li Zhe subconsciously glanced upstairs, and saw Bai Wei standing on the spiral staircase, looking at him calmly.

…

When Liu Yufei drove back to her villa in Shunyi, it was almost 11 p.m.

The villa she lives in now occupies a large area, about four to five thousand square meters, with a three-story building in the middle and factory buildings around it.

There is a huge lawn at the back, which is as big as a small football field. There are pavilions and other leisure buildings in the center of the lawn.

Many media say that Liu Yufei's residence is a mansion, but in fact, her residence is not a mansion at all.

The land in the suburbs of Shunyi was still industrial land. It was not worth much money at all in the 1990s, which meant that it cost a little money to build a small building.

Her residence is completely incomparable to Li Zhe's villa.

Liu Yufei parked the car, pushed the door open and walked into the villa. She saw her mother sitting in the living room, reading a magazine.

"Mom, aren't you asleep yet?"

Mother Liu put down the magazine, "Sissi, you didn't tell me you were just hanging out with friends, why did you come back so late?"

In the past, Mother Liu accompanied her daughter all the time, but as her daughter has grown older in the past two years, she no longer accompanies her for everything.

Liu Yufei thought for a while and said, "Xiao Mi took me to meet a friend today?"

"Friend? What kind of friend?" Mother Liu knew that her daughter must have an unusual identity when she said this.

"Li Zhe, the boss of Qudong Group, is also the big boss behind Quku Entertainment."

"Li Zhe? Xixi, have you seen Li Zhe?" Mother Liu stood up from the sofa in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yufei didn't understand why her mother had such a big reaction.

She has met many big shots with her godfather since she was a child, so she is well-informed.

In her opinion, although Li Zhe is great, he is only on the level of the Wang brothers.

"Qianxi, this Li Zhe is extraordinary!"

Mother Liu has spent most of her life on her daughter, hoping that she will find a good family, so she pays close attention to lists such as the rich list.

Li Zhe is the youngest billionaire on the list this year. At the age of 22, he has a net worth of 3.6 billion, and he is still a generation rich.

There is no such person like him, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future.

Godfather Chen was on the rich list in 2000 and was rated as one of the 50 richest people in China by Forbes. With a net worth of US$226 million, he ranked 12th on the rich list. At that time, he was definitely the number one in the country. figure.

However, over the years, Godfather Chen's career has declined instead of progressing, and he is no longer on the rich list.

"What do you think of Mr. Li?" Mother Liu asked.

"He is a nice person and has a good personality." Liu Yufei commented with a smile.

Looking at her daughter's expression, Mother Liu was thoughtful and said with a smile: "You and he can talk well?"

"Well, he's very knowledgeable."

Liu Yufei paused and said, "He also said that he would be filming a large-scale TV series next year and wanted to invite me to star in it."

"You didn't agree, did you?"

"No, I declined."

Mother Liu nodded, "Just decline. With your current status, you are not suitable for acting in TV series anymore. You will still focus on the big screen in the future."

She looked at her daughter and said, "If you young people get along, you can keep in touch."

Liu's mother felt that Li Zhe and her daughter were a good match. They were young and promising, with unlimited potential.

Liu Yufei listened but did not answer. She knew that her mother considered Li Zhe as a possible son-in-law.

She was used to this.

"That's right! Mom, Li Zhe told me..."

Liu Yufei told her mother what Li Zhe said: the mainland market is destined to rise and the Hong Kong market will soon decline.

She thought about these words all night, and the more she thought about it, the more sense it made.

After hearing this, Liu's mother's first reaction was that she didn't believe it. In her opinion, if the mainland film and television industry wants to develop, it cannot do without the people in the Hong Kong industry.

But she also thought about it, a person like Li Zhe has a unique vision and will not hit the target without aim.

What's more, mainland directors have indeed been on the rise in the past two years. Movies such as "Racing" and "Oldboy" with box office sales of over 100 million are all made by mainland directors. On the contrary, many Hong Kong films have performed poorly.

Liu's mother said to her daughter: "Sissi, see if you can find an opportunity to meet Li Zhe again. I want to talk to him in person."

After a pause, she added: "You also know that the Wang brothers of the Hua family are very hostile to us. Li Zhe's appearance is a rare opportunity for you. You must have a good relationship with them."

After going through Fahrenheit, she learned a lot.

Liu Yufei listened and nodded, "Mom, I understand."

…

On November 6, Li Zhe and Lei Jun met in a coffee shop in Haidian. The two chatted for a whole afternoon, and they still had some unfinished ideas.

For this future boss... no, he is also a boss now. Li Zhe's impression of Lei Jun is that he is calm, restrained, ambitious, and cautious. He is a very cautious person.

Li Zhe can be regarded as seeing the abilities of the top figures of the era, and he has a clear vision for the future development of smartphones and mobile Internet.

Although it is somewhat different from the real development discovery, it was 70% to 80% expected.

What does it mean to have a vision that transcends the times? This is it.

It can be said that if he had not been reborn, he would be incomparable to the other party.

But people like Rebus still make mistakes.

During the Internet bubble, Pony Ma wanted to sell QQ, and the first person he found was Lei Jun.

Although Lei Jun was only 30 years old at that time, he was the general manager and CEO of Kingsoft, with an annual salary of one million.

Jinshan Company is even more prosperous, with no shortage of money or technology.

Pony horses are completely incomparable to others.

But Lei Jun did not like QQ and rejected Pony Ma.

What's more, Jack Ma also came to him to get investment.

Lei Jun chatted with Jack Ma for a while, feeling that the other person was a liar, so he refused again.

When the mobile Internet era came, Lei Jun took a fancy to the trend of mobile instant messaging and launched MiLiao first. Unfortunately, he could not compete with his younger brother Pony Ma.

The two chatted happily, and the initial negotiation on buying a stake in Xiaomi was concluded, but Li Zhe didn't get much of the shares.

How could an early Internet tycoon like Lei Jun be short of money?

When they became famous, Pony Ma and Ding Sanshi were still younger brothers.

Joyo.com, founded by the other party, was one of the earliest e-commerce platforms in China. It was later sold to Amazon for US$75 million.

People are willing to agree to Li Zhe's investment, mostly out of support and appreciation.

To put it simply, it means seeing that he has some potential and being willing to play with him.

Don't feel ashamed to be a younger brother. Back then, Rebus was the elder brother of big guys like Pony Ma and Ding Sanshi.

In the next two days, Li Zhe had another in-depth chat with Lei Jun, this time not in a coffee shop, but at the other person's home.

The two chatted for a whole day this time. Li Zhe gave a lot of suggestions for the development of Xiaomi, the most important of which were two points.

The first is to first develop a third-party mobile operating system that is deeply optimized, customized, and developed based on the Android system as a training product before developing mobile phones.

Li Zhe has used Xiaomi mobile phones, so of course he knows MIUI.

When he proposed to call this product MIUI, Lei Jun's eyes suddenly lit up and he readily agreed.

It feels so good to tell someone about their creativity and have them praise you.

The second point is the chip issue.

There is no need for Li Zhe to talk about this issue. Lei Jun must have considered it before. After all, if you want to make a mobile phone, the chip issue must be passed.

Moreover, he can't help much in this matter, and Lei Jun has to solve it himself.

He mainly reminded the other party that to solve the chip problem as soon as possible, he first determined the chip supplier.

The reason why Li Zhe is so concerned about Xiaomi is that the small amount of shares he got is secondary. He wants more to promote Xiaomi mobile phones to be launched earlier.

Xiaomi took the low-price route in the early days. Once its mobile phones were released, they quickly captured the domestic low-end phone market and even ended the era of copycat phones.

If Xiaomi Mi 1 can be released in advance, it will be a great help for him to promote mobile instant messaging software, and his chance of winning will be at least 10% higher.
