Chapter 078 Only talk about ambitious people
After entrusting the stock market tasks to Lin Lisong through a trans-ocean phone call, Ren Pingsheng immediately set off to return to China. This time, he did not fly back to Hanhai City directly according to the previous route, but flew to Hong Kong first, entered Shenzhen-Hong Kong from Luohu Port, and then headed to Huacheng.
Because another online game opportunity he is optimistic about is in Huacheng, Ren Pingsheng decided to go out and discuss it himself this time.
The meeting was much smoother than expected. Perhaps because Jinshan Duoyi was relatively small in scale, Xu Tao did not act like many old gamers who had been famous for a long time. Ren Pingsheng quickly made an appointment with him to meet in a teahouse in Tianhu District.
As soon as Xu Tao sat down, he waved to the boss and ordered char siu buns, rice noodle, shrimp dumplings, roasted wheat, roasted pigeons, etc. If it hadn't been past noon, Ren Pingsheng would have thought he had never eaten today.
Judging from Xu Tao's tone and gestures, he was very familiar with this teahouse. While ordering food, he also introduced each refreshment to Ren Pingsheng.
"Baked suckling pigeons are the signature dish of this store. The brine in this store is exclusive. The copied suckling pigeons are particularly fragrant and are not expensive, and each serving costs only 8 yuan."
"The price of roasted pigeons has increased, and each serving costs 10 yuan." The owner of the teahouse whispered.
"What the hell, you don't say 'Civilian prices, delicious enjoyment, unrestrained, real prices for years'. How can you say that prices will increase when prices rise?" Xu Tao was obviously very sensitive to price numbers and started arguing with the boss.
The teahouse owner pointed to the counter and said with a sad face: "Boss, I am indeed a real price, and it has been written on the dining list."
Ren Pingsheng looked along his fingers and found that the greasy restaurant sign was indeed pasted with red paper to prove that what the teahouse owner said was true.
"Your word is so small, who can see it?"
Although Xu Tao felt inappropriate, he did not apologize at all, but instead raised his voice.
The teahouse owner did not dare to compete with him, so he had to mutter in a low voice.
"The prices have risen so much, and the Hong Kong avian flu has been transmitted again. If I don't raise the price, I will lose money."
Seeing that it was not a problem, Ren Pingsheng took out three hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the table, and said to the teahouse owner who looked helpless.
"Okay, boss, please serve two of the best refreshments in the store first. If you spend more money, you will make up for you if you have less."
The teahouse owner's face suddenly turned gloomy. He repeatedly promised and reached out to get the money from the table, but was snatched away by Xu Tao.
Xu Tao held the money in his palm and glared at the teahouse owner and said, "You have served all the refreshments in your store, so don't have two hundred yuan. I'll finish eating them again and calculate with you."
The teahouse owner's eyes seemed to be on Xu Tao's hands. He looked at him reluctantly for a few more times before he walked away helplessly.
"It's okay, I treat you today, I can do as much as I love you." Ren Pingsheng comforted him.
Whether in the past or present life, Ren has never liked to make things difficult for the young people at the bottom. Whether it is opening a teahouse or a snack bar, he has to get up early and go to bed late, and he earns hard money.
It is difficult for young people to live for life. As long as they are not forced to buy and sell, they steal a small amount of pounds, they can take care of others.
Unfortunately, Xu Tao is not a generous person. Perhaps because he is used to living a poor life, even though he is already a little famous now, he will be petty about these small money.
Ren Pingsheng saw media interviews with Xu Tao in his previous life. He was born in Jiangcheng, Jingchu Province in 1977. His family was quite good when he was a child, but because his mother was mentally ill, the mother and son were abandoned by his father and immediately became the lowest class of society. He once wandered on the streets and had no food to eat.
Due to family reasons, Xu Tao went to a technical school after graduating from junior high school, but he didn't even graduate from the technical school and went out to work.
Xu Tao has never been to college or received a higher education. He has only made a world of breakthrough with his love and talent for games.
But when he was at Luoyi, he was always suppressed by the highly educated management. Luoyi's boss was not a generous person. Although the game planned by Xu Tao made a lot of money, he himself did not make much money.
After leaving Luoyi, Xu Tao took Jinshan's investment, but he still had dozens of people to raise and had to work hard to operate the game as soon as possible, so he didn't have much spare money to spend on consumption and improve his life.
On the other hand, Xu Tao did not keep up with the trend of the times in terms of concept. Whether it is his view on money or his attitude towards life, it is actually not much different from the small customer service back then.
Habits and mentalities that arise in the growth environment will accompany a person's life and will not change due to changes in circumstances.
However, these are not important to Ren Pingsheng. What he needs is the value that this person and his team can create, and he is too lazy to care about the rest of the matter.
However, understanding Xu Tao's life experience and personality was very helpful for Ren Pingsheng to convince him.
While eating refreshments, he observed the voracious man opposite him.
This man is nearly thirty years old, has a buzz cut all year round, has a slightly bald head, is not tall, and has a low weight. He has no outstanding features from facial features to body shape, and has messy hair and dark circles that often stay up late under his small eyes. He is like the obviously larger suit, abrupt and rustic.
Even inside the house, Xu Tao buttoned the three buttons of the suit tightly. The suit did not wear shirts and tie like a workplace man, but instead wore a T-shirt with a neckline, but he thought the collar was too tight and loosened all the buttons. From a distance, he looked like he was wearing nothing under the suit.
Although he didn't know how to wear clothes at all, these clothes were all catchy domestic brands. The suits were native French brand Mengtejiao, and the T-shirts had huge POLO polo patterns. These local foreign brands that the local bosses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were keen on. Although the styles were old-fashioned and the tailoring was backward, the price in the counter was not much lower than that of foreign brands.
With just a few glances, Ren Pingsheng had already seen Xu Tao's ambition that longed for outside recognition.
Whether he recommended himself when he was a customer service at Luoyi, or left Luoyi to start a business without being satisfied with the treatment, this man was always unwilling to be inferior to others.
His dress, his words, and his name as "Duoyi" opposite to "Luoyi", highlights his desire to succeed, his desire to get rid of the nightmare brought to him by his background, and his desire to make Luoyi and Yu Xin admire him.
Ren is not unfamiliar with this vigorous ambition in his life, because he himself is the same.
In secular evaluation, "ambition" is a derogatory term, but Ren Pingsheng thinks that on the contrary, only ambitious people can succeed. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must have ambition.
A person's ambition determines the upper limit he can reach in the future.
Ambition can help you overcome obstacles and overcome obstacles on the journey of life; ambition can teach you not to lose your direction in good times and not to give up on struggle in difficult times; ambition can also make you unmoved when facing temptations.
Ambitions have a greater possibility to tap the potential in their lives, stimulate all possible powers, and create great achievements that cannot be imagined by mortals.
“The greater the ambition, the greater the stage.”
Ren Pingsheng would not look down on him because of his flaws in his personality. On the road to pursuing wealth, being moral, loving, and following the rules are not a plus. Few people who are perfect in morality can succeed. On the contrary, those who are ambitious, bold, and dare to take risks and do things will eventually achieve generous rewards.
For example, the domestic commercial real estate tycoon Wang Moumou borrowed state-owned capital to establish a real estate company, and then turned it into a private enterprise through joint-stock transformation. At that time, he risked embezzlement of state-owned assets, but Wang Moumou dared to do this and eventually succeeded. This is his extraordinary nature.
Like Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook, the company used various means to threaten and induce and do everything along the way, kicking out all partners and early investors, and he owned 24% of Facebook's shares and $74 billion in wealth. If he was also a person who values friendship, his assets would have to be reduced by at least half.
Not to mention the wealthy people in Hong Kong, almost everyone’s history of making a fortune is filled with the four words of trickery and robbery.
The ancient saying "kindness does not control the army, righteousness does not control wealth", is a summary of traditional wisdom for thousands of years. On the road to wealth, people who are too concerned about the evaluation of the outside world and those who attach too much importance to friendship and friendship are often difficult to succeed when doing things, and they are scrupulous and sluggish.
