Since Yang Cheng returned to China half a year ago and founded Feiyang Technology, it has been six months now, and the company has made rapid progress, especially with Yang Cheng's abundant financial support, its development momentum is so strong that it is breathtaking.
It can be seen from the company's employees that it has grown from less than 10 people to over 200 people, with multiple R&D and operation teams coexisting, which is enough to show the speed of this company's development.
There are still many people here who were brought back by Chen Xi with high salaries from abroad. They are all because they did not get a good chance to play in Silicon Valley, and were poached by Chen Xi to Feiyang Technology. These people have personally experienced the rapid rise of the foreign Internet industry, and have personally experienced that kind of shock, so they understand better how to innovate and create.
Yang Cheng personally arranged the next series of software services that would go viral on the internet in the next few years, while leaving other company management to Chen Xi, who did not disappoint him and handled everything in an orderly manner.
The patent application for the U disk is going very smoothly, and the domestic and foreign layout has taken shape. Later, if anyone wants to manufacture this type of interface U disk, they must pay a patent fee to Feiyang Technology. Meanwhile, Feiyang itself is also cooperating with electronic production plants in Shenzhen to have them produce Feiyang's self-developed U disks, which are about to enter the market sales stage.
There are also search engines, portal websites, chat tools, download tools, B2B network transaction platforms, and have also established B2C and C2C network transaction platforms similar to EBAY, which have already taken shape. What needs to be done next is promotion to achieve further development.
"It's still that old saying, we're just short of money!" Chen Xi said in his own office, speaking to an old classmate without any reserve.
The whole office had only Yang Cheng and Chen Xi, they were bosom friends, what they said was the core secret of this company, which was also related to the future development trend of Feiyang Technology.
Yang Cheng is very satisfied with the development of Fei Yang Technology, although the domestic Internet has just started, but Fei Yang Technology has already launched ahead of all enterprises, and Yang Cheng personally supervised all projects. He integrated the elements that best fit the trend of internet development into these services, making the services launched by Fei Yang Technology widely responded to.
It is also worth mentioning the impact of Yang Cheng on Fei Yang Technology. After all, with such a big-name boss who is not inferior to any domestic top star as a backing, many projects of Fei Yang Technology do not need to be deliberately promoted. As long as the news is slightly revealed, the media will immediately follow up and report.
Yang Cheng's good relationship with Ye Wen and the leaders also gained strong support, making Chen Xi's work twice as efficient. Just like this time, preparing to buy land in the High-tech Science Park, it was a mere formality, a stroke of the pen, and everything was settled.
"I'll take care of the money, I will transfer $5 million in installments over the next month..."
Yang Cheng's words were not yet finished, but Chen Xi was already stunned, "50 million US dollars?"
"Don't be so shocked, buddy, this is just the beginning!" Yang Cheng laughed and comforted Chen Xi.
He recently made a lot of money in the stock market, and after deducting his investments in internet technology stocks, he now has around $200 million. He is very satisfied with making so much money in just half a year, after all, he is not George Soros or other big capitalists, he just wants to make a small fortune.
At first, Yang Cheng thought that knowing the direction of the stock market in advance would make him invincible, but in reality it's not like that. Even if you know the future direction of the stock market, you still can't earn much from it. Moreover, no matter how many people there are, they will all have some fear of the unknown about the future. Although you may know what the future holds, you'll never be certain, right?
Yang Cheng is not overly ambitious, he earns money steadily and surely, although it may be slower, but at least it can guarantee the development needs of Feiyang Technology, and in half a year, it has increased by tenfold or more, which is really impeccable.
"I'll be transferring $10 million to you in batches, and what I want you to do is to use this money to get all the company's projects up and running as soon as possible. I have a premonition that China's internet will experience rapid development and progress in the next few years, not just domestically but also including Asia and other regions. We must quickly seize the opportunity!"
The benefits of rebirth are fully embodied in Yang Cheng's words. If anyone from this era were to say the same thing, no matter how extraordinary their vision, they wouldn't be able to express it as confidently as Yang Cheng did. That's the difference!
"15 million? I'm afraid it's impossible to get that many!" Chen Xi sighed bitterly.
Doing the internet is absolutely one of the most expensive things under heaven, relying on this $1.5 billion to complete the domestic layout is more than enough, but wanting to take root in the entire Asia, let alone a wider range of regions, that's a bit difficult.
"Don't worry, this is just the 1998 installment, I'll continue to add more next!" Yang Chen said with full confidence.
Soros and others have not yet finished their sweep in Asia, 1997 was just the beginning, the true main battlefield is the yen's stock market and ruble devaluation in 1998, Yang Cheng will definitely not miss this rare opportunity.
"You speak as if you're printing money yourself!" Chen Xi muttered with a smile, "Tell me, how did you get so much money?"
Yang Cheng shook his head, "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"
Chen Xi was fed up with this mysterious guy, but he admired Yang Cheng more and more.
"I can guarantee that this money was earned, and I earned it with a clear conscience!" Earning money from countries like Japan and Indonesia, he certainly earned it without any guilt.
"Alright, I believe you. No matter what, you can rest assured on your side in Europe, I'll be here to help you!" Chen Xi felt a bit moved in his heart. He knew that Yang Cheng was having a tough time coaching a team in Europe and also had to do some business on the side to make money, which must be much harder than what he was doing domestically.
"I believe you, brother!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Chen Xi seemed to have thought of something, "There's another thing, our company's portal website is going to be officially launched, and the U-disk will also be released at that time. You must attend!"
With Yang Cheng attending as a big shot, just add some more hype and publicity, it will definitely attract countless media attention.
Since the previous capital TV station did a special report on Yang Cheng, and before that Kaiserslautern's match against Bayern Munich, even the CCTV news broadcast paid attention to it, people all over the country began to recognize Yang Cheng.
In this case, if you don't make good use of this resource, then you're a fool.
"Alright, but I have to make it on time!" Yang Cheng knew he couldn't slack off and smiled.
"Don't worry, I've contacted the Shenzhen side and we're planning to make a big move after New Year's Day. Then we'll launch a thunderous online marketing campaign, integrating all of our company's businesses together, so that the whole nation can hear our voice!" Chen Xi exclaimed with some frenzy.
Yang Cheng was also very inspired and strongly supported Chen Xi's decision.
"Go ahead and handle the land purchase, I've already discussed it with the higher-ups and the address has been selected!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Feiyang Technology's development is a thousand miles away, and it will eventually need to have its own office building. Therefore, Yang Cheng wants to buy a piece of land in Xiamen to build the Feiyang Technology office building. Currently, several pieces of land with great potential for appreciation have been selected, and the Xiamen Municipal Government has also promised to provide preferential treatment and loan support.
Having bought land, Feiyang Technology can be said to have thoroughly taken root and has a foundation. What needs to be done next is to build on this foundation and expand and strengthen!
Chen Xi agreed, and then the two of them discussed some things about the company's future development. Yang Cheng emphasized two points: first, online games, which is a highly profitable industry; second, investment in ancient songs.
As for the latter, Yang Cheng had a beautiful idea. He provided the first development fund to Gusheng and then seized their original shares, promoting their rise. After that, he let them develop on their own. As long as he held onto these shares, he would be set for life.
After they had agreed on these matters, Yang Cheng went with Chen Xi to take a look at the land of the office area he had chosen.
Located between Gaoqi Airport, Xiamen Bridge and Jimei Bridge, after a few more years, the Xiangan Tunnel will be built, and it will be very convenient to go in any direction from the office building, with great potential for appreciation.
For this, Yang Cheng conducted an on-site inspection of the land and clearly saw its potential. He then decided to temporarily increase the purchase price, after all, the government provided part of the loan, so Yang Cheng didn't feel any pain in spending the money.
Yang Cheng returned home on New Year's Eve after staying in Xiamen for a few days.
Yang Cheng's family is now a well-known figure in the village, and even in the entire Jinjiang City, everyone knows that there is such a person, countless people are envious and jealous of him.
The three-story villa at home has taken shape, but decoration, courtyard layout and other things still need a long time.
This villa is far inferior to some luxurious houses in the village and surrounding areas, but it has a lot of flavor, simple and elegant, especially they also specially bought some marginal land around, so that their own courtyard can be divided into front and back gardens.
"It'll probably take another half year to finish all the renovations, and then we'll have to wait for a good day in the lunar calendar before moving back in!" Yang's father stood beside his son, beaming with delight at the bustling construction site.
The wall has been built around, and the overall structure of the entire house has come down to earth, only interior and exterior decoration and landscape layout are left.
"Dad, don't forget to have your and mom's names engraved on the gate!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
In Jinjiang, there is a custom that the main gate of every new house will have a couplet. The first and last characters of the upper and lower lines are exactly opposite to the names of the male and female owners. Yang Cheng said that it means treating this house as a gift for one's own parents.
Yang's father was a simple and honest rural man, who was also used to these customs, so he didn't refuse. "Your mom and I have thought about it, you're 26 years old this year, it's time for you to get married. When the time comes for your wedding, we'll combine the housewarming party with the wedding celebration and make a big fuss, inviting all the villagers to join in the fun!"
Yang Cheng listened and initially smiled and nodded, but when he saw the father's eyes full of hints, his brow furrowed, "Dad, you mean..."
"Hehe, both I and your mom think that you should get married now. In our village, guys like you are already married at a young age. Some lucky ones even become dads at 18! You're already 26, if you don't get married soon, you'll be over the hill!"
Yang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, "Dad, don't worry about these things, I have my own judgment!"
"But I and your mother..." Mr. Yang was about to say something else.
"By the way, Dad, how's the farm going?" Yang Cheng hurriedly interrupted him, changing the subject.
As soon as he mentioned his favorite farm, Yang's father laughed and said: "It's going very smoothly. I listened to your words and continued to buy land. I'm preparing to create a green and natural concept, just like you said. We'll plant some vegetables, fruits, and open up a place to raise pigs, cows, and sheep. The manure can be used for irrigation, and many villagers have agreed to come over and help!"
The whole village made a living by farming, but after the big development, the farmland was requisitioned and became an industrial zone, and they were compensated with a little money. The villagers had to go to the factory to work for money, but they were all uneducated rural people who could only do hard labor and odd jobs to make a living.
When Yang's father decided to set up a farm and orchard, Yang Cheng was thinking that maybe through this way, they could hire more people from the village to work, so even if their land was requisitioned in the future, they would still have a way out.
"Dad, I've deposited 5 million into your account. You can withdraw it another day and use it to pave the road from our village to the county road. Also, donate some money to renovate the village elementary school and build a recreational center for seniors. That way, we'll be doing something for the village!"
Yang Cheng is actually a sentimental person, he has a very special feeling for this small village where he grew up, even though he has been out making a name for himself for many years, he still thinks about here, thinks about the people and things here.
Nowadays, the village is relatively simple, but after a few years, the big development came, and the villagers suddenly got 30,000 to 50,000 yuan that they didn't dare dream of before. Everything changed, everyone became pragmatic and realistic, and only money was considered!
There were some things that Yang Cheng couldn't change, so he could only do what he thought should be done.
"It's rare that you have this kind of heart, I know what to do now!" Yang's father was overjoyed that his son had such a thoughtful idea for the village, because he had been teaching him since childhood that one must value relationships and repay kindness.
In the village, there are only a thousand people, all like one family. When Yang Cheng was young, he could eat everywhere without worrying, and everyone in the village treated him well, regarding him as their own. Now that he has become rich, he must repay them.
Afterwards, the father and son chatted for a while. Yang Cheng even ran to his own large farm and orchard, which had just started but was already very big, covering two hills and a large area of land below, making Yang Cheng feel very proud.
If they had their time, they could be completely self-sufficient with this farm and orchard, without having to worry about carcinogenic food problems.
Yang Cheng's return home was soon spread around.
After being quiet for two or three days, Yang Cheng started going from door to door again.
During these days when he was not around, Liu Tianhong took good care of Yang Chengjia's family with several familiar leaders in the city. After returning, it is natural to bring a few gifts from outside and visit them to thank them.
Especially when chatting with the leaders of the city, they have some opinions on Yang Cheng's business in Xiamen. Jokingly, they hope that Yang Cheng can return to his hometown to start a business. At least if he moves some projects of Feiyang Technology to Jinjiang, they are willing to give the green light and provide support in some aspects.
Yang Cheng also couldn't lose face in front of them, patted his chest and guaranteed that he would definitely get it done, but needed a little time, and started using delaying tactics.
Afterwards, Yang Cheng spent some more money to buy a large quantity of rice, oil and other daily necessities, which he brought to the village committee and specifically gave to some poor households and elderly people who live alone. He also mentioned his idea of donating a road, building an elementary school and an entertainment center for the elderly, and received strong support from the villagers, who said they could also apply for funding to support these projects.
After this string of events, New Year's Day has passed in a hurry.
Because the house at home was not built, Yang Cheng had been borrowing a stay at his second uncle's house, which was somewhat inconvenient. After finishing these things, Yang Cheng told his parents and went to Xiamen again for a few days. After attending the press conference of Feiyang Technology's U disk listing and website promotion, he went to Yanjing to visit Ye Wen, and finally went directly from Yanjing to Los Angeles.
Heidi Klum has been busy filming "Runway" and hasn't been in Beverly Hills at all, but she left the key behind, so Yang Chen just moved in.
Just as he had just moved in that night, Jerry Bruckheimer's call for a script came.
"Jerry, your news is really timely! People who don't know must think you've installed a peephole at Heiti's home!" Yang Cheng laughed and joked.
"Never mind that, how's the script you mentioned earlier coming along?" Brookheimer asked with concern.
"Alright, I've written it all down. Let's have dinner together tomorrow and I'll give it to you!" Yang Cheng practically regarded Brookheimer as his own spokesperson.
The latter, however, didn't mind at all and agreed, "David Fincher is currently selecting some roles for 'Se7en', you've come just in time, let's go take a look together tomorrow. After all, this film is from your hands, so your vision for some of the characters shouldn't be bad."
Yang Cheng had known all along that whenever Brookheimer called, it was never good news. But now that the moment of truth had arrived, he could no longer avoid it.
The next morning, Brookheimer's car drove directly to Heidi's doorstep and picked up Yang Chen before heading straight to the audition location in Hollywood.
Although the two main characters in this film have been confirmed, Edward Norton and Haley Joel Osment have already signed on to play the two male leads, a big one and a small one. Now they are selecting the female supporting role and some important supporting roles, among which the most competitive is the role of Cole's mother played by a child star.
When Yang Cheng arrived at the audition scene, he suddenly found that it was full of beautiful women everywhere, some of whom were wearing very revealing clothes, extremely eye-catching.
Unlike Yang Cheng's first time in such an environment, Brookheimer seemed to have seen it all before.
Hollywood is the core of the world's film industry, and countless beautiful women with dreams of fame are gathered here. Any appearance in a movie, any role, can become an opportunity for them to rise to fame overnight.
These beauties naturally vie with each other, using all their strength to attract the attention of directors, producers and investors.
But just as Yang Cheng had just walked into the audition room, he found an old acquaintance walking out.
