Chapter 211(1/2)
The same coffee shop, but a little more upscale than last time, this is the place chosen by Wu Yudong.
Zhang Mingyang doesn't understand coffee, but he accidentally heard someone say that the more sour the coffee, the higher the quality. Old-timers like them don't know how to drink it, so they feel it is sour. In fact, this is the unique aroma of high-end coffee beans.
He doesn't understand what's so delicious about a sour drink. No matter how good the coffee is, isn't it just soy milk? There's a saying that says, don't mistake coffee for soy milk.
After a brief sip, today's coffee was indeed more acidic than last time.
"In other words, you are responsible for software development, and we are responsible for using and promoting it?" Wu Yudong rubbed his chin and began to think about what the young man in front of him had just said to him. He did not expect that there was really something serious to do today.
He is also very optimistic about this model, but no one in the industry has done it before, and he doesn't know how far it will go in the end.
This was a major event that could affect the future development of the company, and he vaguely felt that the opportunity to get rich was beckoning to him.
Zhang Mingyang nodded, lowered his head to drink coffee, and waited for Wu Yudong to think about it.
He felt that the coffee was too bitter, so he added several bags of sugar before it was drinkable enough. It is estimated that any professional barista would vomit blood if he saw him messing up the coffee like this.
Putting down the coffee cup, Zhang Mingyang originally planned to ask his aunt how the coffee was and whether it tasted good, but he found that she did not drink the coffee, but stared blankly downstairs.
They are upstairs. The second floor has independent booths. Downstairs is a little more free. The scattered tables, plus the bookshelves and various decorations inherent in the cafe, have a petty bourgeois atmosphere.
At this time, there was a newlywed couple taking wedding photos on the first floor. Whether it was sincere or the photographer requested it, the two newlyweds were smiling happily and their faces were filled with happiness.
Zhang Mingyang noticed that the direction his aunt was looking was exactly where the newlyweds were taking pictures.
The young couple came not long after they arrived, and I don’t know why they chose this cafe as the location for filming.
But after observing the surroundings, the decoration is quite suitable.
My aunt got married very young. Don't talk about him at that time, his parents might not even know him yet.
From the few words of the elders, he learned that his uncle was very poor, and Yan Li was the eldest daughter of the family. The wedding was held in a hurry. In that poor era, there was no thought of wedding photos.
Even the wedding photos of his parents were taken with him when he first entered elementary school.
Perhaps no matter how old a woman is, she always has a dream of taking wedding photos.
He did not disturb his aunt and let her be in a daze.
After a while, Wu Yudong seemed to have finally made up his mind. He slapped his thigh and said, "I will follow this matter. We will do whatever you say!"
This thing looks a lot like a scam.
A woman whom I just met not long ago brought a nephew to her, but on the second day of meeting, the nephew said that he wanted to do business with her.
But Wu Yudong wanted to take a gamble.
This nephew is very special. He already had his own achievements before asking him to do this business.
He witnessed the great success of Qinglian with his own eyes and was amazed by the smartphone.
He knew that the future was right in front of him, but he was too old, didn't understand anything, and didn't know what to do.
Wu Yudong never thinks that his current success is because of how good he is, but because he seized the opportunity at a special time.
The nervousness of facing the storm more than ten years ago came back, and he could feel his heart beating violently.
"When the time comes, I will set up a brand new company, independent of our past company, to specialize in this software." Zhang Mingyang said.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as one taxi company agrees to join and use its software to occupy the market, other companies will cooperate after seeing the profits. After the company follows up, retail investors will also flock to it.
"Go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just ask and I will do my best to support you." Wu Yudong said sincerely.
Seeing that the other party agreed so happily, Zhang Mingyang felt strange. He subconsciously looked at his aunt. Could it be that women are so lethal?
Is it true that as long as he supports the two of them to be together and assists Wu Yudong, this man can promise him anything.
"There are some things we need to say in advance." Yan Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "About the specific investment, equity ratio, and subsequent promotion and franchise..."
Ever since Wu Yudong thought about it just now, Yan Li stopped looking at the newlywed couple below, and refocused on listening to the conversation between the two.
Zhang Mingyang brought his aunt here simply to create an opportunity for them so that she would not die alone again this time. He did not expect her to be of any help.
He never thought that after Yan Li opened her mouth, she would reorganize the cooperation between the two companies. There were many things that he had not considered at all.
He even felt that if he recorded what his aunt said, it would be a complete contract.
"That's all I can think of right now. The details are waiting for our contract. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
After Yan Li finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Mingyang beside her. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was obvious. She was asking her nephew: "Is what I just said okay?"
"Uncle Wu, since we are doing business, we must say ugly things first. Don't mind. This is all for us to make money."
He was also conveying a message to Wu Yudong in disguise. What my aunt said was what I wanted to say.
What a joke, there is a veteran professional manager right next to him. He doesn't want to show off his little knowledge of how to do things in his own way. Now he just needs to hug his thighs tightly.
The only pity is that although the aunt helped him, it also exposed her true character.
Probably no man would like such a strong woman...
Zhang Mingyang felt that he had somehow disturbed his aunt's romance. When he was feeling regretful, he noticed Wu Yudong's eyes.
It was a very complicated look, as if she was in a daze, but there was light in her eyes, and the light was directed toward Yan Li. The light was also filled with complex emotions such as admiration, joy, and so on.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Yan Li blankly.
After a while, he finally realized that he had lost his composure, coughed twice, and quickly sat up straight: "I don't have any problems, I can sign the contract at any time."
Zhang Mingyang was shocked after hearing this.
Although Yan Li spoke very professionally, most of the terms were on their side and she considered them for him and didn't care about Wu Yudong's feelings at all. In the end, Wu Yudong simply agreed.
Although the contract has not been signed yet, it already represents the attitude.
He complained silently in his heart, there must be a limit to the love brain! This is business, not playing house.
"Uncle Wu, there's no rush now. When I go back and build the preliminary framework of the software, we'll talk about the contract." Zhang Mingyang couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him proactively.
He came here today just to see Wu Yudong's attitude and to have a sound bite. If that didn't work, he would think of other ways. Specific cooperation matters would have to wait until the software was finished.
Now that his attitude is very good, he will probably sell Wu Yudong directly, and this man will help him count the money with a smile.
"I believe you. If you need help with anything, just ask me."
While a few people were talking, the second floor suddenly became lively. The newlyweds downstairs were handing out wedding candies. The guests who received the wedding candies would say auspicious words such as "Happy wedding" and "May you have a baby soon".
They were sitting very close to the stairs, and the newcomers quickly came to them.
"Sorry, it's a bit noisy when we take pictures down there. I'm sorry to bother you. These are wedding candies." The bride was speaking. There was a small basket hanging on her arm, which was full of candies.
The bride looks ordinary, but if you look at it a few times, you will think she is pretty good. The groom is tall and has an outstanding appearance, but he looks cold.
"No, no." Wu Yudong took the wedding candy and sent it to Zhang Mingyang and Yan Li: "I wish you a happy wedding."
The two people who took the candy also said some auspicious words.
When the bride and groom were about to leave, Zhang Mingyang asked the question he was curious about just now: "There are so many beautiful places in Linjiang, why do you shoot outdoor scenes here?"
They looked at each other, their eyes full of happiness, and the groom, who had been silent all this time, said, "Because we met in this cafe when we were in high school."
With this little episode, the tense atmosphere between the few people eased slightly.
Zhang Mingyang oversaw his own problems, and next he planned to solve his aunt's problems.
Just now, when we were chatting about business, we were chatting freely, but when the atmosphere became ambiguous, Yan Li was speechless again.
He noticed that his aunt kept lifting the coffee cup and then putting it down, her eyes wandering, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
In the end, it was Wu Yudong who took the initiative to speak: "How great it is to be able to go from school uniform to wedding dress."
"Yes." Yan Li picked up the coffee cup and looked at the newlyweds with envy in her eyes.
"Uncle Wu, didn't you know a few girls when you were in school?" Zhang Mingyang joked, taking the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. My ex-wife and I met when we were in night school. But after we got married, she disliked me for being a driver, so she abandoned the child and ran away." Wu Yudong smiled helplessly.
Zhang Mingyang lamented that Wu Yudong's ex-wife was really short-sighted. Even if she drove, she was driving for the boss. Can it be the same?
However, in that special era, when everyone in the system resigned and went to work, it was normal for young women to have unrestrained thoughts.
When a man takes the initiative to bring up his ex, it is self-evident what he means, and he knows that he should withdraw.
But before leaving, he was told that he would call her "auntie". What if he thought wrongly?
"Auntie, my company has something to do and I have to go back. Would you like to go back with me, or..."
He waited for his aunt to make her own choice.
When Wu Yudong heard what Zhang Mingyang said, his heart was in his throat, and his hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly.
Yan Li looked at her nephew in front of her, then at the man opposite her, and finally glanced at the newlyweds who were still handing out sweets. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."
The meaning is already obvious.
He has done everything he needs to do, and the rest depends on whether the two elders are destined to be together.
After leaving the cafe, Zhang Mingyang drove back to Platinum Lake without stopping.
Since we have already planned to make a taxi-hailing software, the sooner the better, quickly occupy the market, and DiDi will be online soon if it is any later.
The New Year has passed, the work of the second year has officially begun, and Qinglian has become lively.
As soon as he came back, he immediately gathered everyone in the living room in front of his office.
