Recast youth

Chapter 6: A Chance to Start Over

"A Tiantian Internet Cafe has just opened outside the school. I haven't gone online yet. Please invite us to go online."

Lin Rui stood on the upper bunk and glanced at Wang Hao below. The ballpoint pen in his hand stayed on the Zhang Baizhi poster posted by Wang Hao on the wall. When Wang Hao's answer dissatisfied him, he began to experience the trend of sketching in the art department. .

When Wang Hao heard this, his face fell, and he said with a sad face: "Lao Wu, you are going to kill someone. Internet cafes outside cost two yuan an hour. How can I afford you to go online? If you want to rob, you rob Landlord Shen?" , he has money."

Shen Yu was unhappy and scolded with a smile: "The landlord's food surplus is limited."

"Then I don't care. We have to go online anyway. Look, it scares me. The cigarette butt in my mouth is burning me to death." Lin Rui opened his mouth, and there was still cigarette ash on his tongue.

Wang Hao was happy when he saw it: "You have a guilty conscience, how can you blame me?"

"Then do you want to invite me?" Lin Rui felt that it was necessary to give Wang Hao a slap in the face, and pretended to use a ballpoint pen to sketch on Zhang Baizhi's poster.

"Oh, no, let's discuss it later."

Wang Hao was anxious.

After a final round of bargaining, Wang Hao finally decided to pay for his prank, bleeding heavily, and then shamelessly asked for sponsorship. After all, he finally managed to get Shen Yu, a rich second generation, as a sponsor, with half for each person, and all the dormitory staff were invited to go to the new building. Internet cafes every day.

At the end of 2001, the Internet cafes in Dongzhou City were far from as dense as in 03 and 04. The cost of Internet access in Internet cafes was still quite high, and many students could not afford it. After 05, the prices became cheaper, and many Internet cafes In order to grab business and engage in a price war, the Internet fee was reduced to 1 yuan an hour.

Neither Li Bing nor Wang Xiaoqiang had ever been online, so they decided to go to an Internet cafe to see what computers were like. Ye Feng was the only one in the dormitory who refused to use the Internet. For him who was reborn in 2016, the pitiful Internet speed and big-ass computer in 2001 The monitor really didn't interest him.

Before leaving, Wang Hao touched the poster of Cecilia Cheung on the bedside with pity, and said heartbrokenly, Goddess, I endured the humiliation and burden all because of you. Just for this trip, I have to eat two Weekly kelp silk...

Speaking of kelp silk, Ye Feng suddenly remembered something. He pulled out his wooden box from under the bed, opened it and took a look. Sure enough, there were two big bags of pickled vegetables inside, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Dongcheng University has a cafeteria. Vegetarian dishes cost 1 yuan each, and meat dishes cost 2001 yuan. You have to steam your own rice in a lunch box. In [-], students’ families generally had no money. Many students wanted to avoid running out of money to buy food in the end. , they would buy two bags of pickled vegetables in advance. The big bags cost one dollar and fifty cents, and two bags could last a week. In his previous life, Ye Feng fell into this category.

Also, what right did I have to complain about Li Man when I was like this in my previous life?

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh, 15 years have passed, and Ye Feng in his previous life has already forgotten Li Man. From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, he actually quite agrees with Li Man's approach. If Li Man was really with him in his previous life, If they are together, it might be possible, like Li Man said, for two people to rent a house, find jobs each, and live a life that can be seen at a glance.

As for the Porsche Cayenne that Li Man later drove, it was almost impossible.

But Ye Feng had some vague grudges in his heart. He remembered what Li Man said to him with firm eyes when he separated from Li Man at noon today.

"I won't regret it." "Absolutely not."

It's not that Ye Feng is so reluctant to let go of Li Man, it's just that in his previous life plus this life, Ye Feng was dumped by Li Man twice.

As the saying goes, Buddhas compete for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath. Even though Ye Feng has been a man for two lifetimes and has a mature mental age of 35, he is still a man after all. The word ambition is deeply rooted in the genes of men.

In the last life, Ye Feng was dumped and dropped out of school. He was mediocre all his life. In the eyes of his family, he was just a piece of mud that could not hold up the wall. Even Ye Feng himself felt this way, especially when he met Li Li who was driving a Porsche Cayenne in his previous life. Ye Feng felt that he was a piece of mud even more, so much so that he was unwilling to go home during the Chinese New Year. There was only one thought in his mind: why did he give up on himself and get kicked out of school? If he had a college diploma, Maybe everything is different?
In this life, there is a chance to start over again, and Ye Feng wants to be different.

The first thing he wanted to do was to make Li Man regret.

The reason for wanting to do this is not that he wants to save Li Man, but that Ye Feng wants to silently prove that Li Man's choice in the last life was right, but in this life, Li Man's choice is definitely wrong.

Similarly, Ye Feng also knows very well that the only possibility for Li Man to regret is that he has enough money. In 2001, civil servants may have been the most dazzling profession, but waiting for a few years later, It is definitely a society where money is paramount. In 2010's "If You Are the One", Mano's sentence "I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle" is undoubtedly the beginning of money supremacy.

"You will know from now on whether I am too ambitious."

Ye Feng had a far-reaching gaze, whispered to himself, took a pen and a notepad, and began to recall some of the country's relatively large economic developments from the end of 2001 to 2016 in his previous life.

The most well-known thing is the increase in housing prices. Among them, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities have experienced the most exaggerated increases. Ye Feng could not afford to buy a house in his previous life, so he was most concerned about real estate, and Baidu also Regarding the rising curve of housing prices, he knew that in 2001, housing prices had been on the rise, but the increase was not large. The housing prices in the third ring road of Yanjing were now around 3800, and the housing prices in the second ring road were around 4500. By the end of 2002 and early 2003, By then, house prices will start to skyrocket.

In other words, you only have one year left from now on, and you must buy a house within one year. Otherwise, the longer you delay, the greater the cost you will bear.

Ye Feng wrote a "[-]" in his notebook and circled the key points, which means "one year".

But where does the money come from?
Ye Feng fell into deep thought. He knew that housing prices would rise. He also believed that he was not the only one in the country who was optimistic about the rise in housing prices. The only difference might be that they did not know where the limit of housing prices would be.

But knowing it’s useless, you still have to have money.

Not only does he know that house prices will rise in the future, he also knows that there will be an imminent money-making opportunity in front of him in a few months. For example, Yiyi Network Co., Ltd. was listed in the United States in 2000, and its stock price has always been sluggish. In September this year, Yiyi Network Co., Ltd. It was suspended from trading by Nasdaq due to financial reporting issues. The stock price will remain at the lowest price in history for a full five months, only US$9 per share, and the number of stock transactions is 5. By September 0.64, the stock price of Yiyi was not at this price. Instead, it was an astonishing US$0 per share. By 2003, the stock price soared to as much as US$9 per share, which doubled the profit by nearly 55.86 times.

Ye Feng fell into deep thought again.

Now he is a bit like a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice, so he has to think of a way to make money as soon as possible.
