Time flies.
Xiang Nan's fame in the South Korean literary world is getting bigger and bigger, his status is getting higher and higher, and he is making more and more money.
In 1994, I graduated from Deshan University.
Originally, she wanted to be hired by Samsung. In the 1990s, with the rise of the computer industry, graduates of this major had no worries about finding a job.
However, Xiang Nan suggested that she start her own business and start her own Internet company.
"When you work for others, your value needs to be measured by others. No matter how well you do, you just earn a little salary and a little bonus.
It's better to start your own business. In this case, you can measure your own value by yourself, and more or less you earn is your own. Xiang Nan advised.
Deshan and Xiang Nan lived together for four years. During these four years, Xiang Nan often took her out to see the world.
We have been to Japan, the Mainland, Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Africa, South America and other places.
This greatly broadened her horizons.
Moreover, in the past four years, due to Xiang Nan's fame, his status has become higher and higher, and the quality of the people he has come into contact with has also become higher and higher.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
As a result, Deshan met many important people, attended many big events, and her horizons became higher and higher. She was no longer the daughter of a poor family who lived in a semi-underground apartment and could only enjoy eating pizza for half the day.
Therefore, after hearing Xiang Nan talk about starting a business, she was not scared. Instead, after careful consideration, she accepted Xiang Nan's suggestion and prepared to start her own Internet company.
Xiang Nan then injected 200 million won into Deshan and founded an Internet company called Explorer. The company has Xiang Nan as the chief architect and Deshan as the general manager, and has hired dozens of computer talents.
The company then established the Explorer website to provide news, dating, navigation and other services to netizens, similar to Yahoo back then.
In 1994, computers were still a rarity, the total number of Internet users in the world was less than 4 million, and the total number of Internet users in South Korea was less than 100,000.
Therefore, the Explorer website lost money from the beginning. In the first year, the loss exceeded one billion Korean won, which was equivalent to losing two houses in Gangnam District, Seoul.
The loss in the second year reached a huge 2 billion won, which completely wiped out Xiang Nan's income for the year. But by the third year, things took a turn for the better.
On the one hand, as Yahoo, Netscape, AOL and other Internet companies have successively gone public and won the favor of capital, their stock prices have soared. All Internet companies have benefited. Venture capital companies have flocked to the market, and company valuations have also decreased. Climb up.
On the one hand, the Lead Explorer website of Xiang Nan and Deshan, because it was launched early and provides very complete services, has become the most used website in South Korea.
Therefore, when the Internet boom started, the Explorer website naturally benefited the most. Samsung alone invested 5 billion won in one go.
Its valuation soon reached 20 billion won, making it a dark horse in the South Korean business community.
…
Just when Xiang Nan and Deshan started their business, Sung Dong-il was also retired from Hanil Bank.
Han Il Bank did not show enough respect to this veteran who had worked hard in the company for decades. He simply held a ceremony and sent a bouquet of flowers to call it a day. He did not even send a thank you card. , which made Deshan, Paula, and Yuhui very unwilling.
The three sisters later organized a grand retirement ceremony for Sung Dong-il and personally presented a thank-you card written by the three of them.
"For twenty-six years, Section Chief Seong Dong-il has dedicated his life to Hanil Bank. Thank you for your hard work. You will no longer be Section Chief Seong Dong-il, but what remains unchanged is that Seong Dong-il is the husband of Lee Il-hwa, Seong Bora, Seong Deok Shan, Cheng Yuhui’s father…”
The children's sincere words made Cheng Dongri happy and relieved.
He was originally full of resentment because of the cold treatment he received from the company, but his resentment disappeared and he became cheerful again.
However, Sung Dong-il didn't take a long break, and was soon rehired by Deshan as the deputy director of the company's finance department, responsible for supervising the company's financial expenditures and the integrity of its employees.
Because it was his own business, Cheng Dongri worked very hard. He left early and came back late every day. He was even busier than when he was a section chief in a bank.
Even Deshan felt a little guilty. She asked her father to come to the company mainly because she was afraid that he would be bored at home, so she found something for him to do so that he could use his spare energy. Who would have thought that he would do it so seriously, and it would be even harder than before.
"Don't blame yourself, uncle is the kind of person who can't sit still. Let him work at home and do nothing. It's better to let him come to the company to play." Xiang Nan advised, "This is actually better for his body. good."
Deshan nodded.
Although my father is a little busier, his energy is indeed much better than before. He is very motivated every day, which can be considered a good thing.
…
In 1994, Sunwoo and Paula reunited and became a couple again.
Their affair was soon discovered by their parents, causing quite a stir.
Because South Korea's laws stipulate that people with the same surname and the same origin are not allowed to get married. The main reason is that South Korea is a small country and people do not move widely, so people with the same surname may be close relatives.
Both Sung Bora and Sung Sun-woo have the surname Sung. This surname is also rare in South Korea. They are considered to have the same origin and the same surname, so they are not allowed to get married. Even if two people are together, the child they give birth to cannot be registered and can only be reduced to a black household.
Of course, this is something parents don't want to see.
Fortunately, both parents are not too old-fashioned, and the government intends to lift the ban on people with the same surname from marrying. Therefore, in the end, the lovers Sunwoo and Bora finally got back together.
In the same year, Zheng Feng unexpectedly reunited with Zhang Meiyu while chatting in an online chat room.
It turns out that in her senior year of high school, Zhang Meiyu was sent to study in the United States by her father because of her puppy love. Of course, this was also because her grades were too poor and she had no chance to get into college in South Korea, so she was sent to the United States.
Because I missed my companions too much, I didn't dare to contact them, so there was no news for four years. Unexpectedly, he and Zheng Feng met unexpectedly in an online chat room.
The two also came together again. Moreover, inspired by Zhang Meiyu, Zhengfeng also gave up the judicial examination and chose to engage in the cooking industry.
Although President Jin and Ms. Baozi were reluctant to give up, they ultimately chose to respect their son's own ideas.
…
In 1994, Ms. Leopard, who had always been strong-willed, entered menopause and often lost her temper uncontrollably.
Fortunately, President Jin and Zhengfeng loved her very much, cared about her, and protected her, so that she could go through menopause smoothly.
Xiang Nan and Zheng Feng also helped their parents arrange a make-up wedding.
It turned out that when they got married, they didn't even hold a wedding because they had no money, and they didn't even take wedding photos.
So in order to make their parents happy, Xiang Nan and Zheng Feng organized a grand make-up wedding for them on their 30th wedding anniversary.
Neighbors and friends all gathered together to congratulate them. This made Ms. Leopard very happy, and even the symptoms of menopause were relieved a lot.
