Zhao Guohua was furious and smashed an entire set of expensive tea utensils.
Porcelain shards were scattered all over the ground, and he immediately made his beloved adopted son kneel on them!
Why did you provoke him in the first place?
"Just because of a broken ring, our family has been turned upside down!"
Are you trying to drive me crazy?
"And you lot, you're all more trouble than you're worth."
"I was thinking that you're all grown up and could help me with some things, but this is how you've done it?"
"They're all talk and no action, not a single one of them is of any use!"
Hearing their father's words, the daughters and Zhao Ziyun all felt very depressed and frustrated.
But they dared not rebel, for Zhao Guohua was the head of the family, in the prime of his life. Moreover, he controlled the Zhao Group, a massive commercial behemoth.
The whole family depends on Zhao Guohua for their livelihood.
Even if they were resentful, they could only suppress it.
Zhao Ziyun knelt on the porcelain shards, his knees quickly bleeding, but he dared not utter a sound.
He clenched his fists, and even though the porcelain shards had pierced his flesh, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
He remembered today's humiliation.
Sure enough, it's different when you're not related by blood.
He never truly integrated into this family!
He will repay these humiliations severely in the future.
That bitch Zhao Chen dared to humiliate him like that.
Zhao Guohua, that adoptive father, is no good either!
He deserves to lose even his own son.
Meanwhile, Bai Yuxiu couldn't help but want to speak up for her children and plead for them:
"Alright, Guohua, don't be angry. Let that brat go."
"He's an 18-year-old kid with no skills. How long can he stay outside?"
"Once he experiences the hardships of society and his temper is worn down, he will naturally come back."
"I'd like to see how long he can keep up his arrogance. He's really gone too far."
Zhao Guohua still loved his wife dearly, and hearing her advice, he felt it made sense. Finally, he snorted coldly and said:
"Let this arrogant guy be arrogant for a few days."
“Once he runs out of money and becomes homeless, he will beg us to come back.”
"A dog is hungry, and it will come back begging for food sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Guohua: "How can you talk about your own son like that?"
"No matter what, he is still our son."
"When he comes back, we'll discipline him strictly."
"Anyway, I won't let him drift along aimlessly like before, associating with all sorts of shady people."
"He's gone astray, we have to correct him!"
Zhao Guohua sneered: "Hmph, a tiger father and a dog son, what else is he but a dog?"
"Wait till he begs to come back, and I'll teach him a lesson!"
The Zhao family's daughters then chimed in:
"Dad, we know we were wrong. When my brother comes back, we will correct his mistakes too."
"It won't be like before. He needs to learn his lesson!"
Zhao Guohua glared at them: "You all better remember this."
"Our Zhao family doesn't support useless people!"
"Having such a son is a disgrace to the Zhao family."
"Don't tell anyone yet, we've brought back such an unfilial son."
"I can't afford to lose face like that!"
The children all replied in unison, "Don't worry, Dad!"
After venting his emotions, Zhao Guohua stormed off.
He had to handle some of the loose ends himself; he couldn't let Zhao Chen, that reckless fellow, catch him red-handed.
However, by the time he tried to deal with it, many things were already too late...
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen took a multi-pronged approach and quickly launched his own business.
At that time, the online world was still a vast untapped market.
But at the same time, it is developing at an extremely fast pace.
Zhao Chen originally intended to raise more funds by selling films.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that now was not the time. There were only so many netizens, and even if everyone paid him, he wouldn't make much money.
The key issue is that online payment is still not perfect.
It's really not easy to send money online.
Even if he could sell it, no one could buy it.
This is a very important question...
So now, Zhao Chen can only shift his focus to other places.
Zhao Chen suddenly realized that he had so many things he wanted to do, but he was just too short of money...
A million or so may seem like a lot, but it's just a drop in the bucket when it comes to what he's about to do.
Once you start making online games or doing projects, you start burning money, and you have to wait a certain amount of time before you see a return on your investment.
Especially now, even the penguin hasn't officially launched yet. Even if it does launch later, it will be several years before the penguin knows its profit model.
This is so troublesome!
However, this does not mean that Zhao Chen will stop his progress.
He needs to get some arrangements sorted out first.
By this time, Zhao Chen had already bought the 2345 domain name and started creating a website directory.
The website 2345 was once a very famous one.
With its simple, direct, and straightforward interface that collects various website URLs, it has become the number one tool for attracting traffic.
In the end, it was sold for a sky-high price of nearly 50 million.
Of course, this website later made a lot of money from the internet boom through various shady practices, but most of it was just exploiting people, and its reputation wasn't very good.
Of course, Zhao Chen doesn't need to do any of this right now.
He first set up the website and created a directory of URLs.
Let's make the arrangements first.
This was not difficult for Zhao Chen at all.
Immediately afterwards, he set his sights on the large company, Golden Fan Software.
Currently, computer games are still in the stage where only PC single-player games generate revenue.
A business model that relies on selling game clients to generate profits.
However, Eastern gamers have a natural affinity for free pirated games.
After all, there are plenty of people who spend several hundred dollars on a legitimate game.
Many gamers are young people; where would they get so much money to buy games?
Therefore, most people still prefer to play pirated games.
Now, internet cafes are emerging as a new phenomenon, and many people have started their online lives in internet cafes.
How do internet cafes make money these days? Naturally, from the massive amounts of pirated single-player games.
At this moment, Zhao Chen already had some ideas of his own.
It's time to have a deeper collaboration with internet cafe owners.
After receiving his first pot of gold, Zhao Chen quickly began his coding process.
After completing several important procedures, Zhao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is the most important.
Zhao Chen obtained the identity of a resident of the port city, and he's about to pull off something big.
He wanted to show those ignorant guys in Hong Kong what it truly meant for technology to be the primary productive force!
A few days later, Zhao Chen set foot on Hong Kong Island, now the most prosperous metropolis.
Then he arrived at the first place where he could pick up money: Happy Valley!
Next, he rented a nice apartment for a short period and started his plan to make a fortune.
