Seeing Lang Hongjun's shameful look, Ye Chen's impression of him changed a little.
I originally thought he was just an egoist who was greedy for wealth and prosperity, but now looking at this person, he still had some conscience in his heart.
And Lang Hongjun himself has not said these heartfelt words to anyone over the years.
He didn't really think that he had a great relationship with Ye Chen, and that he could make himself say the deepest heartfelt words in his heart.
He just hid these words in his heart for too long and never spoke up, but he didn't find a suitable person to talk to.
So, Ye Chen comforted him and said, "The motherland is always tolerant of its children. After so many years, so many people like you have returned, the motherland has always been open to her arms. For the motherland, it is not to continue to send talents to further her studies.
After everyone is able to go back to serve the motherland after they have finished their studies, but as long as there are always some of the people sent out, they are willing to go back, so this is worth doing. As for the part lost in the middle, it is just normal
It's just a loss."
After a pause, Ye Chen said again: "It's like transporting a piece of ice in a foam box. No matter how tightly you wrap the ice, it will definitely melt part of it during transportation, but that doesn't matter, to the person who transports the ice.
It is said that as long as there is still ice left when you arrive at your destination, these efforts are of practical significance.”
Lang Hongjun was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly, muttering: "Actually, we were attracted by the colorful Western world back then. We always felt that the stage here is bigger and we can better play our own way. In fact, we also
I didn't really forget my motherland, but everyone was holding a lot of energy in their hearts. If they did well, they would go back a hundred times, thousands of times, and tens of times to serve the motherland. But there were always some people like me, although they were arrogant back then,
Gradually, it became the same as everyone else…”
Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun said with tears in his eyes: "I really want to serve the motherland! But now I can't even support my own mother. She is in her seventies and still has to work in a Chinese restaurant to make money.
To subsidize household income, I have been reading for so many years, learned so many techniques, and wrote so many codes, but in the end I have to rely on being a seafarer to support my family. How do you think I have the good reputation to return to China?”
Ye Chen asked him: "Do you know the job of a seafarer?"
Lang Hongjun shook his head and said, "I only know the general work process, but I don't know the specific working method. Maybe it's just a chore on the boat. After all, I'm just a newcomer, and I'm still learning. The most important thing is to work hard.
Some people can't stay at home for a year or two."
Ye Chen asked again: "Then do you think you are suitable for being a seafarer?"
Lang Hongjun shook his head again: "To be honest, I am a communication technology. If you ask me how to locate the freighter, how to contact the land through satellites, I can say one, two, three, but you
I was so confused when I made me a seaman. I didn’t even know the basic structure of the ship. I didn’t even know if I would be seasick after getting on the ship.”
As he said that, Lang Hongjun sighed: "But there is nothing we can do, for the sake of life."
Ye Chen chatted with Lang Hongjun for a long time and learned more about Lang Hongjun's past.
Lang Hongjun used to be considered a genius boy.
When others first got their high school textbooks, they had already been admitted to key universities.
When others were preparing for the college entrance examination, they had already studied abroad as a government-sent student.
At that time, the young people had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary before coming to the United States.
At that time, when Silicon Valley was developing rapidly and the Internet changed the world, Lang Hongjun saw that like him, Zhang Chaoyang, who was studying in the United States, returned to China to establish Sohu, and also saw that Li Yanhong, who was studying in the United States, returned to Congress to establish Baidu.
.
He also saw many seniors who stayed in the United States to develop. During the explosive development of the Internet, they suddenly became rich. Some became presidents of listed companies with a net worth of over 100 million US dollars, while others were corporate partners
Ringing the bell on the Nasdaq, he was worth tens of millions of dollars overnight.
He also saw many seniors who studied finance who entered Wall Street investment bank after graduation. As soon as they graduated, they received high salaries of hundreds of thousands or even millions. What's even better is that they all hold tens of millions or even passed by
A VC fund of 100 million can sometimes determine investment projects worth more than millions of dollars in just one meal, and it is very popular.
Later, he also saw many outstanding seniors and sisters who took the capital of American venture capital and returned to China to invest in a large number of celebrity companies that were very famous in China in the future. They not only helped those companies become the world's top players, but also helped them.
Investment banks have made huge profits, and they themselves have gained fame and fortune. Some are even regarded as the best investors, publishing books and making a name for themselves.
All these seeing and hearing deeply stimulated Lang Hongjun.
He doesn't want to go back to be a state-owned enterprise employee or civil servant after finishing his studies in the United States step by step. He also wants to become a superior person like those people, and then return to China in glory as a superior person and create a great man with a glorious status and create a great man.
or invest in a group of great companies.
However, in any industry, the channels left for top talents are very narrow.
Over the years, millions of international students have been elite-level students, and there are not even hundreds of them who can truly become superior.
Because in any era, a top talent must have the right time, place and people. It is not impossible for one person to work hard to reach the top.
This is how Lang Hongjun was.
He stayed in the United States with his dreams, but reality kept waving the big stick at him.
In the past few years of studying in the United States, he still had ideals, but not long after, he began to make a living and gradually became ordinary.
As Lang Hongjun talked more and more with Ye Chen, as he expressed his feelings more and more, he became crying from no one knows when.
Seeing that the plane was about to land, Ye Chen handed him a tissue and said, "Brother, Mexico is not suitable for you. When the plane lands, buy a ticket and go back."
Lang Hongjun shook his head and said, "What are you going back to do? My wife and children are still waiting for me to support me. The car at home has been sold. If this continues, I have to sell the house."
As he said, he said with a firm look on his face: "If you can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year as a seafarer, you can solve the family's financial problems, so I must grit my teeth and persevere."
Seeing his resolute expression, Ye Chen suddenly felt that his previous plan seemed to have to make some adjustments.
He originally planned to let the people from Wanlong Palace rob Lang Hongjun in advance, find a place to lock up, and wait until he investigates the whole matter clearly, and uproot Mei Yuzhen and the people behind her, and then let Lang Hongjun free
.
Wherever he wants to go and what he wants to do then it has nothing to do with him.
After all, I may have saved his life, which is already considered his luck.
But now Ye Chen suddenly realized that facing this middle-aged man who was almost desperate for life and tried to struggle in desperate situations, doing so only cut off the slightest hope that he had ignited for life.
After he returned to the United States after a false alarm, his old mother would continue to work in a restaurant, while his wife and children still had no place to live. Even their houses that sheltered from the wind and rain would probably be taken back by the bank.
So, instead of doing this, it is better to bring Lang Hongjun with you.
No matter what is waiting for him ahead, let him experience it personally.
Perhaps, after all this is settled, this experience will allow this confused and pitiful middle-aged man to find his way back.
