Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Thoughts on the future Huang Jingping slept soundly with one of his arms around her, but Feng Yiping could not sleep.
In the faint indoor light, her exposed collarbone gave off a seductive glow. Feng Yiping gently pulled up the slipping quilt and covered her up. After an autumn rain, the nights in the north were getting cooler by the day.
He tried to pull his hand out, but only moved it slightly. In her sleep, Huang Jingping uttered a few indistinct syllables and instead held his hand even tighter.
Just as he sometimes thought in his dreams later, he was of course very satisfied to have really come this far with his first love, but as a man, while he was happy and satisfied, he also felt a deeper sense of responsibility.
From that night in the city, he would be responsible for the future of the girl by his side. Feng Yiping, who already had a family fortune that he could only look up to later, did not feel relieved. To give a girl happiness, money is not everything.
Although neither of them mentioned it later, Feng Yiping knew that Huang Jingping must have hoped that he would also treat her wholeheartedly, and then have a naive and lively child, and live a happy life together like this forever.
But Feng Yiping really had a hard time doing this. After that day, he took the time to send a text message to Zhang Yan: 'I already have a girlfriend in a committed relationship. I will bring her back to meet my parents this Chinese New Year.'
Zhang Yan replied, 'Oh, I just returned the love letter that my art teacher's son gave me unopened.'
It seems that both sides were just talking to themselves.
Later, Feng Yiping, although he had tens of millions of assets, at that time, it really wasn't much. He didn't have the ability to support a mistress, nor the heart to do so. Of course, when he saw a pretty girl, it was inevitable to be momentarily distracted and daydream. When he was away on business, he would also go to the bar and have a seat. Although it didn't achieve much, he did go with the intention of having an affair.
There were a few times like that, but they were all like a beautiful dream, leaving no trace. Soon after, he couldn't even remember the other person's face. It was just a moment of sensory stimulation, typical of the fast food of modern society. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But this time, his first love and his ex-wife, it's not accurate to say ex-wife, that was his only wife later, or to say the first wife, his first love and the first wife, he is not ready to let go, how will this process develop, he now only has a general idea, but the result is clear, he is not only responsible for Huang Jingping, but also for Zhang Yan. This responsibility is mainly to make them both feel happy, which is also a big challenge for Feng Yiping.
No, it should be a big challenge for both of them, and for Feng Yiping, it is a big challenge.
In order to complete this challenge, he is expected to endure hardships in the future, work hard and think of ways to solve problems. Those are all things for the future. His current task is to first consolidate his economic foundation.
In the dark night, listening to the peaceful snoring of Huang Jingping next to him, Feng Yiping, who felt the heavier burden on his shoulders, opened his eyes wide and, for the first time since his rebirth, began with the three ultimate questions in the field of philosophy to systematically sort out his current achievements and future direction.
As a reborn person, he is very clear about the general trend of the future. For example, although the mainstream society and elites are now optimistic about the country's economic prospects, no one would have imagined that more than ten years later, we would become the world's second largest economy.
Therefore, although he is a born-again person, Feng Yiping does not have any great ambitions or sense of mission. Because no matter what the reborn Feng Yiping does or does not do, and no matter what the shortcomings and deficiencies of the country are in ten or more years, and no matter whether some people and the country are convinced or not, we will become a real world power by then, and to put it bluntly, a world power.
For example, he knows very well that in the future, our country's aviation industry and automobile industry will both be limited by the shortcoming of engines. However, he knows very well that it is very unrealistic to change such problems with his own foresight.
We can overtake others and lead the world in some areas, such as e-commerce, but business and manufacturing are really two different things.
Manufacturing is a real industry. Just as one plus one cannot equal three, the shaping of a perfect part can only be based on the step-by-step improvement and perfection of the foundation. If you want to achieve leapfrog development on your own and lead the world, I'm afraid that even if you were reborn from the future after the 100th year, you would still be powerless.
Feng Yiping also knows full well that our country will have a lot of trouble in the East and South China Seas in the future, and that the incoming president, Chen Shui-bian, will also be a troublemaker. But just because he knows this doesn't mean he can change it.
In the modern state system, everyone has their own social position, and the combined efforts of everyone are the final result. Although everyone, both now and in the future, has a lot of opinions and complaints about the operation of the state apparatus, such as its rigidity and overall slow response, it is undeniable that, compared vertically, the current system is undoubtedly the best.
As an intermediate link, if the reborn person does something with the intention of thinking about the future of the country, it may not necessarily lead to a better result than the original one. It may even have the opposite effect, and it is not impossible that it will make the situation worse than before. For example, in our past history, most of those failed reform events had good intentions, but in terms of results, there were many times when they did harm despite good intentions.
Therefore, Feng Yiping decided not to be the little moth that flutters into the flames, wasting energy on these national affairs. It is not easy for him to do his best to change the environment in his hometown, so he has invested his energy in making money, which is a very promising thing to do.
The industries he is involved in now, including chain convenience stores, furniture manufacturing, enterprise management and application software, star hotels and chain budget hotels, magazines, and mainly independent financial operations, all have good prospects, but they are somewhat far from the most popular e-commerce and Internet Plus in the future.
Although the Internet bubble will burst starting next year, the next decade or so will see the emergence of a huge new market around the Internet and mobile Internet, which will profoundly change many traditional industries. As a person who has started over, this wave must not be missed at any cost.
But how should one get involved?
Feng Yiping has two plans. He can rely on the convenience stores with their increasingly comprehensive network to create his own shopping platform, and rely on the future budget hotels to create an online ticketing service company, and finally, see if the two websites can be merged.
At the same time, he can take advantage of his foresight to invest in some companies with great potential. He is not naive enough to think that he can build a company like BAT just by relying on his foresight. The most basic point of management is to let professionals do professional things. Those things are better left to the original people. Reborn people are not supermen. They cannot succeed in crossing several fields, nor can they simply recruit one or two people to defeat the original companies. He is only responsible for investment.
That means he needs to set up a venture capital company, which in turn means he needs to have sufficient cash. So in the end, Feng Yiping realised that the financial aspect of his solo venture was the most in need of strengthening.
While his other industries are still in the development and growth stages and need investment, the finance department can only be a cash cow.
At the same time, having money does not mean you can invest in these companies. For example, a few years later, Feng Yiping approached the future richest man with a large cheque, or the founder of Facebook, who would also become a member of the advisory board of the School of Economics and Management where he was studying. Sometimes, money is not the biggest problem.
Therefore, the matter of reputation must also be put on the agenda. For now, this task can only be left to the magazine that will be launched at the beginning of the new year.
When you not only have money, but everyone knows you have excellent strategic vision, those startups, big and small, with potential and prospects, will come to you, without you having to go out and sell yourself.
After going over it again, Feng Yiping was sure that there was nothing missing from his thinking. After spending three minutes or so, he pulled his arm out of Huang Jingping's hand and quietly went to the study to write down his thoughts and arrangements for the future.
