The current internet trend has swept into China, and some yellow pages websites have sprung up intermittently, but they are not very large in scale. Most of the promotion is still done through newspapers.
In 1991, the internet had already experienced a bubble abroad, and the big names who had been exposed to the internet overseas earlier began to return to China to seek new opportunities in the internet industry.
The two hottest buzzwords of the entire 1990s were the Internet and Qigong.
Seeing that Lu Feng and President Zhou seemed a bit stunned, as if they were frightened by the word "Internet," Li Dan said, "What? You two don't know what the Internet is? It's the internet!"
As Li Dan spoke, a sense of superiority appeared on her face, making her exceptionally arrogant.
“I know about the internet, and I even have a computer at home,” Mr. Zhou said with a smile. “Give me the URL of that website, and I’ll check it out later.”
Li Dan handed over a business card, looked at Lu Feng, and asked, "Do you use the internet?"
Lu Feng shook his head. It's true that you can access the internet in China now, but for someone like Lu Feng who used to surf the internet at lightning speed in his previous life, the internet is too slow now, and the content is very boring, mostly just simple things like pictures, text, and numbers.
"Here's a business card. Go back and buy a computer. It's not expensive, just over 20,000 yuan."
"Yes, yes!" Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly and chimed in, "Computers are really cheap now. You can buy a decent one for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. I used to have a computer at home, but the nanny broke it. I was so angry that I wanted to fire her right then and there. If it weren't for the other seven or eight nannies pleading for me, I would have really let her go."
“That’s right, I have the same problem. There are too many servants at home, it’s so annoying. Don’t be fooled by how much I earn, I spend a lot too. People call me the richest woman all the time, but I’m all bark and no bite. I don’t have much money at all.” Li Dan said with a worried look, “I wish I were an ordinary person!”
"Then you can just donate all the money," Lu Feng said in a very straightforward manner.
"I mean, I want to have the simple, unpretentious, and easily satisfied mindset of an ordinary person." Li Dan looked at Lu Feng and asked, "How much are you worth?"
"Me?" Lu Feng thought for a moment. Although he owned two companies, Jia Mei only had 30% of its shares left, and Jia Feng himself was still heavily in debt.
"Not much, maybe a little over ten million!"
Lu Feng casually mentioned the numbers, thinking that those who could come to this kind of summit were all outstanding companies selected by each city. Besides, as an entrepreneur, even if you're poor, this is probably all you can do.
Li Dan and President Zhou were secretly surprised when they heard the number Lu Feng quoted. More than ten million was by no means a small number, especially considering that Lu Feng was so young.
"Is your father in the electronics field?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"no!"
Seeing that Lu Feng didn't seem very willing to communicate, a brief silence fell over the car. President Zhou asked the driver, "How much longer until we arrive?"
"It'll probably take another half hour," the driver said without turning his head.
Although the car's air conditioning was very powerful, hot air still seeped into the cabin. Li Dan cleared her throat, took a sip of her water, and said, "A net worth of over ten million was okay in the 1980s, but now, it's probably not enough!"
"Mmm-hmm!" Mr. Zhou added, "Prices have been rising for the past two years, and money is worth less."
Ten million or more isn't a lot of money?
Lu Feng looked at the two women, his emotions still unsettled. After chatting all the way, he could tell that these two women were the type who would die if they didn't brag.
"I know I don't have much money, I just came to broaden my horizons," Lu Feng said modestly.
When President Zhou heard Lu Feng's words, she laughed. In the end, he was still not as good as her. She knew that at this kind of conference, there were only a few top-notch rich people. The rest were people who were similar to her or even worse off than her. They were just there to show their support.
"It's alright, just follow me. I'll introduce you to some people, and I guarantee you'll thrive in the electronics industry," President Zhou assured Lu Feng.
It was as if her word alone could give Lu Feng a secure position in the industry.
"How old are you this year?" Li Dan asked.
"I'm twenty-five!"
“You’re younger than me. At your age, it’s mainly about building connections. I’ve been there too. Don’t worry, you won’t lose out if you follow us.”
"That's right, don't panic. Once you've experienced this kind of situation once, it'll be easier next time."
The two of them were thinking that since it was their first time attending such a big event, everyone there would definitely be big shots, and having someone by their side would be a good way to make them stand out.
Lu Feng is a good prospect. He's not bad-looking, has a net worth of over ten million, and works in the booming electronics industry. Having such a CEO by your side makes you feel important, and others naturally wouldn't dare to neglect him.
Lu Feng initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought it would be good to have these two by his side. He was definitely going to be the target of an attack this time, and maybe these two could share some of the firepower.
Along the way, Lu Feng listened obediently to the two men's boasting, like a little brother. They talked about everything from local markets to international hot topics, and then to travel, such as feeling inner peace at Lugu Lake, eating lobster in Australia, playing with penguins in the Arctic, and even crying under the Eiffel Tower.
The car finally stopped at the entrance of the venue. Lu Feng opened the car door, took a deep breath, and thought to himself, "These two women are really good at bragging. If we hadn't gotten to our destination soon, I would have burst out laughing."
"Xiao Lu!" President Zhou handed Lu Feng his briefcase and said, "Hold this for me."
Lu Feng glanced at her bag, then at her. He exchanged a few polite words with her, humbly saying that he was just a beginner in the industry and needed more guidance from the two older sisters.
