When even strangers rarely see a small mountain village on weekdays, suddenly more than a dozen buses rushed in, instantly attracting the attention of the whole village, especially when villagers saw that these people were carrying cameras and taking pictures everywhere in the village, they couldn't help but marvel.
Yang Cheng has become rich!
This news spread instantly throughout the small village as soon as the capital TV station arrived to film Xiao Zhu, and then under everyone's stunned gaze, Mayor Ling came to this ordinary village that had been deliberately forgotten by them with the accompaniment of the town leaders.
The villagers suddenly swarmed to the entrance of Yang Cheng's house, and the staff had already excluded the idle people outside. They watched the excitement one by one from across the courtyard, especially when they saw that the village head and village secretary were bowing their heads in front of the town head, the town head was bowing his head in front of the city head, and the city head was bowing his head in front of Ye Wen, the leader of the working group. However, Ye Wen was extremely polite to Yang Cheng, so they all came to a conclusion: Yang Cheng had really made it!
This is a place where dogs don't pull carts and birds don't lay eggs on ordinary days, surrounded by mountains and forests all around, with only one broken earth and stone road connecting the outside. But it's precisely such a place that became the most attention-grabbing place in the whole city, even the whole province overnight.
The exclusive interview with Yang Chen by Capital Television will be edited into a TV program and broadcast on Channel 1 and Channel 5, after all, the emergence of a European coach at home has greatly promoted and boosted domestic football.
At least, more domestic fans have gained proud capital!
Yang Cheng was very cooperative with this interview, speaking without reserve. However, Yang had previously agreed that in the interview he would not discuss domestic football, only talking about his coaching experience in Germany and his life before going to Germany.
What the camera captures is often more convincing than what the person says, especially when it comes to telling the story of Yang Cheng's life from childhood to adulthood and his experience of bravely traveling alone to Europe to study, which adds a few points to his credibility.
The entire interview process lasted for a day, but there were still some post-production shoots to be done, and Yang Cheng also tried his best to cooperate in all aspects.
And in this short day, it almost became the most glorious moment of Yang Cheng's parents' lives. They had never thought that they would be on TV, let alone their son becoming a hero in the mouths of countless people. Every time someone from the village saw them, they would give them a thumbs up and praise them for raising a good son.
However! When they heard Yang Cheng's proposal to take them to Germany, the two old men shook their heads like a drumstick.
"We're all in our 40s and 50s now, we've never left the village for a lifetime, although we all want to go abroad with you, but... it's better not to stay long, we're used to the life in the village." Father politely declined Yang Cheng's proposal.
His mother also supported the decision of her son-in-law, she didn't even speak German, let alone Chinese. If they went abroad, they would be laughed at. Besides, none of them had ever thought of leaving the village.
"Or I'll pay for it, and we can rebuild our house into a small Western-style one. What do you think?" Yang Cheng saw that he couldn't persuade his parents, so he immediately changed the subject.
Yang Cheng's father nodded repeatedly as soon as he heard it, "Right, after building a new house, when getting married in the future, you can also choose a good condition!"
But as soon as this was said, Yang's mother immediately gave him a light push, "Go, does Ah Cheng still need to rely on his house to marry a wife now?"
Yang's father suddenly chuckled and didn't dare to quarrel with his own wife.
"I also think that if possible, we should buy more land in the village. For example, the public land in the village is said to be very cheap, you guys should buy more!" Yang Cheng suggested with a smile.
Yang's father frowned, "I heard that a mu of public land costs one or two thousand yuan, and private land is even more expensive!"
In a place where the average monthly income is only around 200-300 yuan, and each household has its own farmland, most of the public land was left abandoned, so the prices were relatively low, but still very few people bought.
Yang Cheng smiled to himself, thinking that in a few more years, when the development zone arrives, the price of one mu of land will not be just a few thousand, but tens of thousands. If he can buy up all the land and enclose it into a factory area on his own, the value of the land will be even more unimaginable.
"Don't worry, Dad, just go ahead and buy it. We'll buy as much as we need, it doesn't matter if the neighboring village has some too." As he spoke, Yang Cheng handed his father a bankbook from a nearby rural credit union, which was opened in his father's name.
"Dad, I know you only recognize this rural credit union, if you need money just go and get it, and you and mom don't have to work anymore. If you're afraid of being idle, just buy more land, plant more things, and spend your time that way, but don't overwork!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Yang's father took the passbook handed over by Yang Cheng, opened it and took a look, almost losing his voice. His hands were shaking slightly, "5 million?"
"Dad, this is just temporary, I'll be sending more money over time. Also, I'm doing business with a few friends in the US and we should be able to make some money, so you don't have to worry about financial issues, go ahead and buy the land!"
Yang's father patted Yang Cheng's shoulder vigorously, thinking that Yang Cheng had handed over all the money to him, and he also felt a little sentimental, knowing that his son had grown up.
Zhu didn't know that Yang Cheng's current net worth is around 2 million, and he plans to invest the remaining money in something else.
After Ye Wen's disturbance, the days gradually returned to calmness. However, every time the villagers passed by Yang Cheng's house, they couldn't help but praise and give a thumbs up, thinking that Yang Cheng was impressive.
Although he has made a name for himself outside, Yang Cheng's attitude in the village is still humble as ever, after all, the villagers have been watching him grow up since childhood and are considered his elders.
Yang Cheng himself was also very clear that this bowl of football rice may not be so easy to eat, he had to leave some room for himself, so after sending away Ye Wen and others, he specially ran another trip to Xiamen.
"Yang Cheng!"
Chen Xi walked into the dining hall and saw Yang Cheng sitting not far away waiting for him, immediately quickening his pace to tightly hug this old classmate and sworn brother of many years.
"Haha, after all these years, you haven't changed a bit, still like short hair, still like teasing girls, still like sudden appearances..."
Yang Cheng laughed and interrupted Chen Xi's nagging, "Your mom is still a woman, your dad is still a man!"
Chen Xi didn't get angry, instead he tightly hugged Yang Cheng again, because this sentence was originally used to tease Yang Cheng, it's just that the tables have turned now.
"You've really made it now, the capital TV station has even interviewed you, you're famous! Nowadays you've become a European celebrity coach!" Chen Xi couldn't help but look at Yang Cheng with envy.
In junior high and high school, in terms of studying, Chen Xi had to surpass Yang Cheng, because the latter was obsessed with football day and night; in terms of socializing, Yang Cheng was a bit self-satisfied, but Chen Xi was an officer of the student union, so he couldn't be compared. And Yang Cheng even went abroad after graduating from high school.
Chen Xi went to work in Xiamen directly after graduating from university and had no contact with Yang Cheng until these two days, when Yang Cheng called him through his family and then came to Xiamen to find him personally.
Yang Cheng originally had a try-and-see attitude, but unexpectedly, not only was he born a few years earlier, but even people related to him also advanced with him. Just like Chen Xi, who should have been his middle school, high school and university classmate and sworn brother, and later became the number one passer in Yang Cheng's coaching team, Xiao Bei.
But nowadays Chen Xi obviously won't be infatuated with Beckham anymore, because the latter is not very famous yet, especially in China where information is not well communicated and not many people know his name.
"What's up? Are you looking for me because there's something good?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.
Yang Cheng just smiled and didn't answer, instead asking: "I heard that after graduating from university, you pursued further studies while working at a software and hardware company in Xiamen?"
"Yes, I wrote some stuff during college and they thought it was pretty good, so they hired me. But recently, I've been considering jumping ship." Chen Xi said with a smile in front of Yang Cheng, he never needed to hide anything from him.
"Job hopping?"
Chen Xi nodded "Yes, Dell sent someone to contact me. They will set up China's first branch in Xiamen next year and establish a research center here. They hope I can join them."
"Looks like you're going to make it big, old chap!" Yang Cheng said with a hearty laugh.
As for Chen Xi's abilities, he was very clear that this kid had already received invitations from many domestic software and hardware companies during his university days. He also developed a popular software on the grid, which is an outstanding gunner programmer, and is also very familiar with hardware.
"Never mind me, tell me about you, how's life in Germany?" Chen Xi was indeed self-aware, he couldn't compare to Yang Cheng in any way. This young man was now a famous general in European football, countless domestic fans idolized him.
"I don't have much to say, but recently I've been preparing a backup plan. When I can no longer make it in Europe, I'll return to China to try my luck!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"Unlikely? You're currently on the rise in your career, you won't be able to mix it up?" Chen Xi thought Yang Cheng was joking.
"I'm not joking, I really plan to do something in the country, especially after seeing some advanced things abroad!" Yang Cheng couldn't say that everything was brought back from Li 11 years ago, so he could only push his own ideas onto the all-capable foreign countries.
"Tell me about it!" Chen Xi asked hastily.
"I'm going to start a company!" Yang Cheng said solemnly.
Chen Xi smiled and pushed him away, thinking that this old man was pretending to be mysterious.
"It has something to do with the computer grid!" Yang Cheng said again.
"Software or hardware?" Chen Xi was suddenly hooked by him.
"I have them all, I currently have three plans, are you interested in hearing about them?"
Chen Xi nodded involuntarily.
"First, I want to study a kind of mobile storage device that can replace floppy disks." Then, Yang Cheng mentioned the characteristics of his previous life's disk, but he deliberately avoided revealing more detailed information. These were things he had read about on the internet in his past life and knew should have appeared around 1999.
If we can launch this product before the end of the year, it will be a great response... "Your idea is really good, but does such a product exist abroad?" Chen Xi also thought that this thing called a disk had great creative potential, but it seemed that so far no one had seen it on the market.
"No, this is just a small creation of mine!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"The second one is an instant messaging software on the internet!" Then Yang Cheng brought out Tencent Penguin, which he had used countless times in his previous life. For this software, he was more serious than anyone else.
"Have you heard?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile as he saw Chen Xi's puzzled face.
Chen Xi nodded, he had heard of it through his online activities abroad, but didn't quite understand this software.
"What I want is a localized version of this software, but my idea is different from theirs."
Yang Cheng not only gave instant messaging to this software, but also integrated casual games. Since he wanted to develop this software ahead of time, it was natural to develop a series of later online products. In addition, there were some popular software on the Internet later, and he had no reason to let them go.
"What about the third one?" Chen Xi suddenly became very interested in Yang Cheng's thoughts.
"A portal site!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile, "It's like Yahoo, but some things are quite different from them!" Then Yang Cheng went on to talk about the characteristics of a series of portal sites he had seen in his previous life, including some well-known forums.
Yang also considered setting up Ali88 and Jiubao earlier, but for now, he can't afford it.
Chen Xi listened and was suddenly shocked by Yang Cheng's series of thoughts. He didn't doubt that Yang Cheng was a transmigrator, but he felt that after going abroad, Yang Cheng's vision and experience had really changed a lot.
To say the least, the development of this series of software and websites is among the best in the country. His foothold is not only domestic but also has ambitions to be bigger and stronger, just like that instant messaging software.
After seeing Chen Xi's enthusiasm for his plan, Yang Cheng couldn't help but continue to talk about some of the internet services, casual games, and search-related things from his past life. Of course, he wouldn't say it was a memory from his past life, but rather just his own ideas.
For Chen Xiyang, Yang Cheng is a trusted friend. Moreover, he has only expressed the general idea so far. Without Yang Cheng's personal guidance, supervision and testing, he dares to guarantee that anyone who makes software based on this idea will absolutely not be able to create something like what he saw in his previous life, let alone understand the development trends and trends of these software and websites.
"Yang Cheng, your creativity and ideas are really great, but the feasibility is very low!" Chen Xi suddenly shook his head.
"Why?" Yang Cheng felt somewhat strange.
Chen Xi smiled wryly, "Don't you realize? If we want to start a company and develop so many top-notch projects, how much money will it take? Just the initial investment alone will be a huge amount!"
It turned out to be for this, Yang Cheng secretly smiled in his heart.
"Is 1.5 million enough?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Chen Xi furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know, the initial cost should be about right, but the subsequent expenses might be even more!"
Yang Cheng clapped his hands, "As long as the initial stage is enough, how about it? Chen Xi, I'll invest 15 million to set up a company, and you'll be in charge of managing these top-notch projects, recruiting personnel, and forming a research and development team. Will you come over to help me?"
Chen Xi was taken aback, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, 1.5 million, I can take it out at any time, and my salary in Germany should also be enough to cover the research expenses!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Chen Xi thought for a moment, "If it's just research funding, as long as we can come up with some samples and innovative concepts, we can definitely get assistance funds from Xiamen City, with each project getting at least 100,000 yuan. And part of the hardware products can be outsourced to hardware manufacturers, no big deal. The investment in website and software development is long-term, but I heard your salary is very high, you should be able to afford it."
Pay!
"How about it? Are you in?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Chen Xi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll do it with you! But you must pay me enough salary, we are close brothers..."
"Alright, alright! I get it!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Chen Xi glared at Yang Cheng, and the two of them burst out laughing simultaneously.
The software company Chen Xi was in had a certain reputation in Xiamen, and later became the first domestic company to be listed overseas. However, he himself was not happy working for this company, so he wanted to leave.
He originally wanted to go to Dell to try it out, but now that Yang Cheng has appeared, he gave Chen Xi another option.
Another option.
For Yang Cheng, this dead party, Chen Xi is knowledgeable and thorough. The two were so good in those years that they could almost wear the same pants, so he naturally couldn't doubt Yang Cheng's entrepreneurial determination. Moreover, Yang Cheng said to do it and directly handed over 1.5 million to him, letting him personally plan and create the company's affairs, making him even more grateful.
In the following days, Chen Xi worked while communicating with Yang Cheng. He learned more about the company's creation and R&D from Yang Cheng, and during work hours, he pretended to be busy researching the operation of the new company, trying to poach a few software and hardware talents he thought were very capable from his original company.
These people originally had a good relationship with Chen Xi, because they were all football fans and would even kick the ball together during holidays. On weekdays, they would gather to watch football matches. When they heard that Chen Xi's behind-the-scenes boss was Yang Cheng, who had recently been turned upside down by Miao De, and the offered salary was not bad, they all agreed to join one after another.
After a week, Chen Xi resigned from his original company and registered a company called Feiyang Zhongji in Xiamen Gongyu with Yang Cheng's name, but the earliest employees of the company had only 5 people.
With limited manpower, many software that Yang Zhen considered very good were not developed and could only be done in batches. Some relatively mature ones would be developed first, and wait for the right time to expand the team.
