Chapter 970 Breakthrough Development
12th floor of Beiqing Resources Building.
Liu Qiangdong listened to the renovation noise coming from next door with a frown on his face.
"What's going on next door? There's such a big commotion. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the construction team hasn't even taken a break."
Liu Qiangdong went to the property security guard to inquire about the situation with doubts.
"Hey, I heard that a student from Peking University or Tsinghua University started a startup project and received support from the university. The rent is only half of the normal price. They rented half a floor right away. I don't know how many months it will last. It looks quite impressive. They hired a decoration company and paid a lot of money to hire a decoration team to stay and do the construction. They said they would use it after the Chinese New Year."
After hearing what the property security guard said, Liu Qiangdong instantly lost interest. He himself had started a business during college and knew that college students’ entrepreneurship was often very blind and only one in ten thousand could survive.
"It looks like he's a second-generation rich kid who wants to prove himself."
Just when Liu Qiangdong returned to the store he rented, he saw two young people, a boy and a girl, who looked like students, coming out of the elevator.
"Classmate, do you want to buy some CDs? We have genuine CDs here, and we will compensate you tenfold if they are fake."
Qin Hao was delighted. He never expected that one day he would meet Brother Dong in person to promote his products.
"Okay, let's see."
This storefront is only about 18 square meters, and the furnishings inside are no different from those of an ordinary audio-visual store. There is a sign in big red letters at the door: All products are genuine, and we will compensate you tenfold for any counterfeit products.
"Do you have a CD of A Chinese Odyssey?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you. Do you want anything else?"
Qin Hao took the CD and handed it to Xiao Qianxi, then took out the money and handed it to Liu Qiangdong: "No need, I'm actually your next-door neighbor. I'll come over for tea when I'm free."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Qiangdong's face, and he looked at Qin Hao's back in some disbelief.
After arriving next door, Xiao Qianxi asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of buying a CD?"
"It's nothing, just a neighbor visiting. And don't you find that the boss next door is a very interesting person?" Qin Hao said casually.
"Interesting? Why didn't I notice it?" Xiao Qianxi blinked innocently.
Qin Hao took Xiao Qianxi's delicate little hand and said with a wicked smile, "I just bought a CD. Let's watch it together tonight?"
Xiao Qianxi gave Qin Hao a shy look and said, "Why do you have to watch it at night?"
“There’s no such atmosphere during the day.”
"You wish. I'll go to Xie Qiao's house to sleep tonight."
Students are not allowed to live in the dormitories after the school is on vacation. It’s not because the school is stingy, but because they are afraid that something unexpected will happen and the school will have to take responsibility.
Qin Hao smiled evilly and pinched the soft hand in his palm: "Are you sure?"
"determine."
Xiao Qianxi said this, but his hands did not show any intention of struggling free.
Just as the ambiguous atmosphere was gradually brewing, the contractor came running over.
"Boss Qin, how come you have time to come over today?"
Xiao Qianxi shyly pulled her hand back from Qin Hao's palm.
Qin Hao was interrupted, and glared at the contractor in anger: "If I don't come, you will mess up the work for me. Who can I find afterward?"
"Hey, look at what you said. We have a contract. If we are not satisfied, we have to redo the work. How dare we do that?" The contractor smiled. He did not want to offend such a big customer who was stupid and had a lot of money.
"is it?"
Qin Hao started finding faults, from the ceiling to the floor tiles, from the office to the tea room, he picked out a bunch of problems, which made the contractor break out in a cold sweat.
"Boss Qin, if you are so picky, there won't be a construction team in the whole capital that can satisfy you. How about this? For problems like the hollow tiles, I will immediately rework them for you, and you can spare the minor problems, okay?"
"Old Li, it's not easy to make a living these days. I can just raise my hand, but you have to understand that you shouldn't treat me like a fool. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to get the balance of the renovation."
"That's right, that's right. Don't worry, I'll be here every day during the New Year holidays and I won't cause any trouble for you again."
"I never care about what others say, but what they do. Okay, leave us alone and do your own thing."
The contractor immediately called the workers together and scolded them: "Work carefully, don't slack off when I'm not paying attention. If I catch you again next time, don't work with me anymore."
Xiao Qianxi looked at Qin Hao curiously: "How come you even know about decoration?"
"I know a lot more, and you will know it slowly in the future." Qin Hao moved closer and breathed into Xiao Qianxi's ear.
Xiao Qianxi said angrily: "Why are you becoming more and more indecent?"
"This is called knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts."
"Humph, if I had known you were such a person, I would..."
"What about you? Don't you like me anymore?"
"Who likes you? You are just being sentimental."
Qin Hao looked at Xiao Qianxi's pretty face, which was blushing and she didn't dare to look him in the eye. He became playful and put his arms around her slender waist.
Xiao Qianxi didn't expect Qin Hao to do this suddenly, and was suddenly at a loss. In panic, she held Qin Hao's chest with both hands, and her frightened eyes were like a frightened little white rabbit.
"Let go."
Qin Hao said in a naughty way: "No, who told you to say that I was being sentimental?"
"You're a scoundrel." Xiao Qianxi was so ashamed and angry that she punched Qin Hao a few times, which hurt her hand.
"Let go, someone is watching."
Qin Hao blinked: "So if no one is watching, can we just leave it like this?"
"You are talking nonsense. No one can do that."
"Then why should I let it go?"
Xiao Qianxi suddenly lowered her head, her shoulders twitching, and she cried, "You just bully me."
Qin Hao secretly cried out inwardly that things had gotten out of hand and quickly let go of Xiao Qianxi.
As a result, Xiao Qianxi grabbed his arm and bit it hard.
The girl turned around and ran after biting, and made a face at Qin Hao: "Humph, I told you not to bully me, haven't you read The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."
This was unbearable, so Qin Hao rushed forward in two steps. Xiao Qianxi still wanted to escape, but suddenly he stopped and was hugged by Qin Hao.
"Stop it, my family is calling."
Qin Hao snorted: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. That's what you said."
"I'm not lying to you. It's my mother calling." Xiao Qianxi tried to put the phone screen in front of Qin Hao's eyes.
Qin Hao turned his head away and said, "No matter what, just answer it like this."
Xiao Qianxi had no choice but to let Qin Hao hold her while she answered the call.
"Hey, Madam, are you all okay at home? Did you receive the money I sent?"
"I'm fine. I'm working overtime at the company, and my boss is paying me three times the salary. I can't go back to see you during the Chinese New Year. Don't be reluctant to spend the money I send you. Buy you some delicious food and a down jacket for the Chinese New Year."
The call lasted about five minutes before the other party hung up. I guess they thought long-distance calls were too expensive and didn't want to talk for too long.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qianxi felt a little depressed. Qin Hao turned her around and hugged her again.
"It's okay. The hard times are over. Things will get better and better in the future."
Xiao Qianxi lay on Qin Hao's chest and nodded gently. Outside, she had always been the confident talented girl from Peking University and Tsinghua University. Only when it came to her family would she reveal her most vulnerable side.
After a long time, Xiao Qianxi raised her head and found that Qin Hao was staring at her. In panic, she wanted to bury her face in her hands, but Qin Hao held her chin.
As the two looked at each other, Xiao Qianxi slowly closed his eyes and his breathing became rapid, but he did not dodge this time.
Qin Hao looked down from above, gently touched the soft red lips, and savored them carefully.
As soon as the contact came, Xiao Qianxi felt like she was electrocuted. Her body became stiff and she was as dumb as a piece of wood, allowing Qin Hao to take whatever he wanted.
When Qin Hao's hand gradually touched the unreachable mountain, Xiao Qianxi suddenly reacted, and pressed Qin Hao's hand, with a flash of light in her bright eyes, and said in an almost pleading tone: "No, not here"
Qin Hao had no choice but to take his hand back, wipe away the tears from Xiao Qianxi's eyes, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything."
"Thank you."
Listening to Xiao Qianxi's murmurs, Qin Hao secretly laughed at how innocent and cute this girl was at this stage.
The little white rabbit said thank you to the big bad wolf, and Qin Hao almost lost control of himself.
Xiao Qianxi had just tidied up the clothes that were messed up by Qin Hao when her cell phone rang again.
"Hello, Qiao Qiao, oh, Qin Hao and I are in the Beiqing Resources Building, on the 12th floor. You guys should come over to have a look. Okay, then come on over. I'll be waiting for you here."
After Xiao Qianxi hung up the phone, Qin Hao asked, "Who else is coming besides Xie Qiao?"
"Who else could it be? Her childhood friend Qin Chuan."
Xiao Qianxi pursed her lips and said, "Do you think Qin Chuan likes Xie Qiao?"
"Is there any need to ask? If he was just an ordinary childhood friend, would he fly back all the way from abroad just to attend Xie Qiao's opening ceremony?" Qin Hao tapped Xiao Qianxi on the forehead.
Xiao Qianxi looked like he was in pain, rubbed his head, and bit Qin Hao in revenge.
"When did you see it?"
"I saw it the first time I met Qin Chuan."
"Then why can't I see it?"
"You'll see it after a few more relationships."
Xiao Qianxi stretched out her hand and grabbed the soft flesh on Qin Hao's waist, snorting, "It seems that you have a lot of experience in love. How many people have you dated besides me?"
"Then I have to count carefully." Qin Hao pretended to count on his fingers.
"You" Xiao Qianxi suddenly felt a little aggrieved. She had never been in love before.
Seeing that tears were welling up in Xiao Qianxi's eyes, Qin Hao knew that he could not tease her anymore.
"I'm kidding. With our family conditions, I had trouble even getting enough food to eat when I was in school. How could I have the energy to fall in love?"
Xiao Qianxi said in a skeptical tone: "Huh, who knows, you are so good at business, maybe you can make money on your own when you are in high school."
"I don't even have enough time to review for high school, so how can I have time to think about how to make money? I don't have the ability to clone myself." Qin Hao hugged Xiao Qianxi and comforted her.
"Okay, you are my first love in this world, I swear."
"Who asked you to swear?"
Just as the two of them were looking at each other with affection and attracted to each other, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
"Qianxi, Lao Qin"
Xiao Qianxi jumped out of Qin Hao's arms like a frightened deer, and then looked at Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan at a loss.
Xie Qiao seemed to have just come to his senses, covering his mouth with his hands, looking surprised: "You two, are together, when did it happen?"
Xiao Qianxi lowered her head shyly and didn't dare to look at Xie Qiao.
Qin Chuan gave Qin Hao a thumbs up, indicating: Great.
In order to ease Xiao Qianxi's embarrassment, Qin Hao suggested taking Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan around.
However, Xie Qiao was not interested in these. Her gossip fire was burning at the moment, and she kept holding Xiao Qianxi's arm and asking questions.
"When did you and Lao Qin start dating? Who took the initiative? How did he express his feelings?"
The series of questions left Xiao Qianxi at a loss as to how to answer.
On the other hand, Qin Chuan was full of praise for the new office.
"This place is really nice. The rent for such a large office must be expensive, right?"
Speaking of this office, there is an interesting story. When Qin Hao applied for the college student entrepreneurship project, he was immediately taken seriously by school leaders because of his background of cooperation with Shanda and NetEase, as well as his exaggerated weekly turnover and profits.
At that time, the school leaders originally planned to give him some bonuses, and Qin Hao asked if they could give him an office and warehouse.
The school leaders agreed without hesitation and directly gave Qin Hao a subsidy to reduce the rent by half. In their opinion, Qin Hao's small company would not need much space. As a result, Qin Hao asked to rent a whole floor. If the offices in the Peking University Resources Building were not in short supply and only half of the 12th floor were not rented out, Qin Hao never thought that he would be a neighbor of Liu Qiangdong.
"It's OK. The school provides support and the rent is halved, about 20,000 yuan a month."
Qin Chuan was shocked when he heard this: "My goodness, even if the salary is halved, it's still more than 20,000 a month, so it must be more than 200,000 a year?"
"It looks like you really made some money."
Qin Hao said calmly: "I heard that you are not planning to go abroad this time?"
"There's nothing interesting about living abroad. The security is bad and my English is poor. It was my dad who insisted on sending me abroad. But I think it would be better for me to stay in the country. Look, you've developed quite well. It hasn't taken long to build such a big business." Qin Chuan was envious.
"There are indeed many opportunities in China. The next 20 years will be an era of rapid economic growth in China. However, if you really want to convince your parents to come back, you must at least prove that you can support yourself."
"Ahem, Qin Hao, this is what I think. I have a friend named Dalong. His family makes pancakes and they are really good at it. I want to open a shop with him. What do you think?"
"Making pancakes? Is this the good thing you just told me about?" Xie Qiao popped up from behind Qin Chuan.
"What's wrong with pancakes? I earn money through my own labor, not by stealing or robbing." Qin Chuan protested.
"Don't tell me this. Tell your parents and see if they will spank you."
Qin Chuan wilted instantly.
Xie Qiao suddenly came up with an idea: "By the way, isn't Lao Qin going to recruit workers soon? Why don't you let Qin Chuan follow you?"
Qin Hao looked at Qin Chuan and had to say that this boy was quite smart and had a good potential for sales.
However, when Qin Hao thought of Qin Chuan's love-sick brain, he instantly lost interest.
"I'm currently recruiting programmers, so Qin Chuan isn't really suitable." (End of this chapter)
