"That's right." Cao Shuxu said, "I also brought back a box of good wine. Let's drink some tonight."

"Brother Xu, I really can't drink tonight. We have to go back for the New Year's Eve dinner. We can get together tomorrow," Cao Shujie said.

"Yes, Brother Xu, if you are free, let's have some drinks together tomorrow." Cao Shulun also said.

Seeing what they all said, Cao Shuxu stopped asking for it.

A few people were drinking tea and eating melon seeds and chatting. Cao Shuxu also talked about his current job.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that this unattractive eldest brother would quietly work at Tencent.

Obviously, Cao Shuyang and the others didn't know about this either. Cao Fei asked in surprise: "Brother Xu, you mean you are on QQ?"

"We are both under the same group, but we are responsible for different things. I am mainly responsible for the QQ mailbox." Cao Shuxu said with a smile.

Obviously, Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun, and Cao Fei couldn't understand this.

Even Cao Zhen heard it half-understood.

Mengmeng even listened to the scriptures and just ate sweets.

On the other hand, Cao Shujie frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Cao Shuxu saw him like this and asked him: "Shujie, what's wrong?"

"Brother Xu, it's okay, I just thought of a name, but I can't remember it clearly." Cao Shujie said.

"What's the name?" Cao Shuxu was curious.

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "Zhang Xiaolong, is he the boss of your QQ mailbox?"

"Yes, Shujie, how do you know our boss?" Cao Shuxu was curious.

Many people in the industry knew Zhang Xiaolong, but Cao Shuxu never expected that someone in Caojiazhuang, thousands of miles away, would know their boss's name.

This made him feel a little incredible.

Cao Shujie shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, I heard someone talk about it before when I was working in the capital."

"If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that you worked in Beijing for a few years before." Cao Shuxu smiled, and then he said: "But our boss Zhang's main focus in the past two years has not been on the mailbox. He is responsible for it.

WeChat.”

The word "WeChat?" has touched upon the knowledge blind spots of several people.

Cao Fei, Cao Zhen, Cao Shulun, and Cao Shuyang all looked at Cao Shuxu curiously, waiting for him to answer his questions.

But what makes Cao Shuxu very curious is that Cao Shujie doesn't seem to be surprised about "WeChat". He always has an expression of not caring much on his face.

"Shujie, do you know WeChat?" Cao Shuxu asked subconsciously.

Then I saw Cao Shujie nodding: "I know a little about this, but not in detail. If I remember correctly, it should have just been launched last year, right?"

Cao Shuxu gave him a thumbs up and said, "Shujie, you know a lot."

WeChat is not popular now, and not many people know about it. One year has passed, and it has only generated less than 50 million cumulative downloads, backed by the huge database of QQ, and there are still many downloads and then deletions in this data.

, duplicate counting users who were downloaded after deletion.

Even fewer people actually use it for daily communication.

Cao Shuxu is an insider. His former boss was a big shot like Zhang Xiaolong, and he knows more about WeChat.

He said: "It was just launched at the beginning of last year, but the market effect was not very good."

"Take your time. You are backed by QQ. There is such a large QQ user base. They are all water in the same pool. If you find a way to move it, I don't think it will be a big problem." Cao Shujie said this.

After hearing what he said, Cao Shuxu thought about his statement and suddenly felt that it was quite vivid.

So much so that he was more curious about Cao Shujie's previous experience, so he asked him: "Shujie, what did you do in Beijing before? Is it also the Internet? Is it related to online social networking?"

"No, I am engaged in agricultural planting and research. If I were engaged in the Internet, would I come back? I would have gone to Shencheng to join Brother Xu a long time ago." Cao Shujie said.

Hearing what he said, Cao Shuxu pointed at him and laughed loudly: "Shujie, your mouth can make the dead alive, but there is really no one else."

But Cao Shuyang and others became more and more confused the more they listened, and later they simply took out their mobile phones to check.

Cao Shuxu was very curious about what Cao Shujie thought, and he actually contracted land in his hometown to plant orchards and engage in breeding.

A research talent like him who has jumped from one big industry to another has such courage and courage that ordinary people do not possess.

"Brother Xu, to be honest with you, I just can't survive outside, so I can only go back to my hometown to make a living." Cao Shujie said this.

But no one believed it, including Cao Zhen and others.

Cao Shuyang also despised him: "Shujie, there are no outsiders, you don't have to make this excuse."

"I made an excuse, but you don't believe me when I tell the truth." Cao Shujie was also helpless.

Sometimes what he said was true, but other people thought it was nonsense after hearing it.

After a pause, he continued: "You don't know, when I was working in the capital, I mainly did research. At that time, when I encountered a research topic or encountered a problem, I worked hard for nothing. I once

I only slept for more than 3 hours a day for more than a month in a row. Sometimes I would lay on the floor in the company, and then get up and continue working after a short sleep. Can you imagine what it feels like?"

None of them could imagine that this was the first time they heard Cao Shujie tell this unknown story.

But after Cao Shuxu heard what he said, he couldn't help but sigh: "I understand, it turns out that's the case. So Brother Shujie, your situation before and me now are similar!"

"Oh, I forgot that you guys in IT are all hard-working people. Compared with your little experience, my experience is nothing compared to yours." Cao Shujie said.

In the confused eyes of Cao Zhen and others, Cao Shujie said again: "Brother Xu, I happened to know an IT guy in Beijing. He was often busy until two or three in the middle of the night, and he worked harder than me."

"I couldn't stand that feeling. I wanted to live a few more years, so I ran back." Cao Shujie told the truth for the first time.

But Cao Zhen and the others didn't have that kind of experience, and they half-believed what Cao Shujie said.

But Cao Shuxu believed what Cao Shujie said right away. When he heard that Cao Shujie came back for this reason, Cao Shuxu sighed and said, "Shujie, I am in the same situation as you now."

"After you turn 30, your thinking becomes slower. Especially in the past two years, I feel more and more that my energy is not as good as before. I can't even stay up late to compete with those young people who have just joined the company. I am also thinking about what to do next.

What." Cao Shuxu shook his head and said.

This was the first time for Cao Zhenghe to hear his grandson talk about these things. He was surprised: "Shu Xu, don't you want to do it over there in Shencheng?"

Cao Shuxu opened his mouth and suddenly found that he could not accurately express his thoughts to his grandfather, so he had to say: "Grandpa, next I want to find a better and easier job."

"Let me tell you, Xu Xu, you are the most capable." Cao Zhenghe smiled happily again, inadvertently revealing the incomplete teeth in his mouth.

But Cao Zhen and Cao Shuyang next to them understood. Cao Shuxu, the idol who used to earn hundreds of thousands a year, couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to quit his current position.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of situation Cao Xu was facing, but Cao Shujie's experience seemed to be deeper.

Only then did they realize that they did not know much about Cao Shujie's years in the capital.

"Shujie, how about you come back and contract orchards in the mountains?" Cao Shuxu asked with great interest.

"And that farming, what do you think the future is?"

This question stopped Cao Shujie, and he said: "Brother Xu, to be honest, whether it is planting an orchard or doing breeding, these two jobs are not easy to do."

"Not to mention anything else, the contracting fee alone for the two pieces of land I am contracting for 30 years will be 1 million. My subsequent basic investment will be no less than 1 million, and there will be other investments, which will be even higher in total.

"Cao Shujie said this.

"Good guy, Shujie, you are making a lot of money in the capital." Cao Shuxu was surprised.

But Cao Shujie then said: "Brother Xu, you are overthinking. I only have a bank loan of more than 3 million yuan now, and I am still worried about how I will pay it back in three years."

"..." Cao Shuxu didn't even want to answer.

Cao Shuyang and the others didn't even want to answer the phone.

When they think of a loan of more than 3 million yuan, this figure can make them breathless.

Cao Shuxu said: "I have a friend from Shencheng who wants to take me to start a data line business together. The investment is not low, but I have been hesitant."

"Data cable?" Cao Shujie shook his head. This was a very unfamiliar field to him, and he did not intend to be an outsider pretending to be an expert, lest he lead others astray.

Cao Shuyang and the others didn't understand even more.

"Hey, it's getting harder and harder to do it now." Cao Shuxu said.

With this exchange and communication, the tall image of Cao Shuxu in the minds of Cao Zhen and others suddenly disappeared.

It also let them know that Cao Shuxu, whom they once admired, turned out to be an ordinary person, but he made slightly more money.

As they chatted, they started talking about more and more topics, which were no longer limited to IT, orchards, and breeding. Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun, Cao Fei, and Cao Zhen also joined in.

Cao Shuxu also mentioned something. He said: "I discovered a very interesting thing some time ago, but it is a bit evil. I studied it for half a month and still didn't understand it."

Something that even Cao Shuxu was interested in directly aroused the curiosity of Cao Shulun and Cao Shuyang, and they all wanted to know the answer.

Then I heard Cao Shuxu say: "Bitcoin, have you heard of it?"

In his opinion, Bitcoin is a more obscure thing, and some of them probably don't know about it.

But who knew that Cao Zhen immediately said this time: "I have seen this thing in the news, but I don't understand what it does?"

Everyone else shook their heads. They really hadn't deliberately understood it. This was different from what he thought.
