Chapter 173: Internet Companies Are Pigs on the Wind (Part 2/2)

“Don’t say that. You all are Xiaoli’s good friends, there’s no need to be so formal. I hope your friendship can last forever,” Tang Feng laughed.

“Xiaoli, I really envy you! Finding such a good boyfriend. When do you plan to get married?” Guan Qian asked with interest.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli were visibly taken aback by the topic.

“Guan Qian, we just started our freshman year! The matter of marriage, at least, has to wait until after college graduation,” Su Xiaoli responded somewhat helplessly.

“Can’t you get married during college?” Guan Qian was puzzled.

“It seems not. If you want to get married, you need an introduction letter from the street where your household registration is located,” Ning Xiao said.

“Tang Feng has made such a big contribution, getting an introduction letter shouldn’t be difficult,” Yu Li commented.

“Let’s talk about this later. Right now, both Tang Feng and I have a lot of work to do. At least wait until our work is somewhat complete before considering marriage,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“The main issue is that the current level of technology is not sufficient. I want to hold a unique wedding,” Tang Feng laughed.

“What kind of wedding? Can you give us a sneak peek?” Ning Xiao and others’ curiosity was piqued.

“I want to build a castle in the sky to hold the wedding,” Tang Feng answered.

“Does that mean the wedding will be held in the sky?” Ning Xiao and the others were astonished.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “I hope this dream can be realized within two years.”

“But how can a castle be in the sky? I really can’t imagine it,” Ning Xiao asked.

“That’s why we need the power of technology. Only when the level of technology reaches a certain point, can it be realized,” Tang Feng replied.

“Hope that day comes quickly!” Ning Xiao and the others’ eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Let’s eat quickly! Otherwise, it’ll all get cold!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but urge.

Soon, everyone finished lunch.

“Do you have classes this afternoon?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“No,” Ning Xiao and the others shook their heads.

“If you don’t have classes, let’s have a meeting together and set up the rules and regulations for the investment company,” Su Xiaoli suggested.

Ning Xiao and others immediately agreed.

“Since you’re having a meeting, I don’t have anything to do here. I’ll go to Li Feng Network and have a chat with President Ma,” Tang Feng said, said goodbye to everyone, and left.

“Xiaoli, your Tang Feng really knows how to behave. If I were you, I would marry him quickly and make it a done deal. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it would be troublesome,” Ning Xiao advised her.

“Don’t worry! There won’t be any unexpected incidents! I trust Tang Feng’s character! After all, I grew up with him, and we understand each other very well. Besides, relying on a marriage certificate to firmly hold onto a man is impossible. If a marriage certificate was that powerful, there wouldn’t be so many divorces,” Su Xiaoli said with a slight smile.

“That’s true. Now it seems the divorce rate is getting higher and higher. My cousin got divorced less than three years after getting married. Of course, I’m not very clear about the specific reasons. But I feel that in our parents’ generation, divorces were indeed rare,” Ning Xiao said, sighing involuntarily.

“The times are evolving, the economy is improving, and people’s mindsets are definitely changing. The current divorce rate has not yet peaked. In the past, people chose not to divorce not just because of public opinion but also due to many practical considerations. Now, whether men or women, they can find jobs that can support themselves, so naturally, they are unwilling to settle,” Su Xiaoli explained.

“It seems that when looking for a marriage partner, one must really be careful to find someone reliable,” Yu Li commented.

“That’s up to you,” Su Xiaoli laughed.

“Let’s not talk about this topic! It’s somewhat depressing! Let’s get started with the meeting!” Ning Xiao suggested.

Everyone began discussing.

Meanwhile, Tang Feng arrived at Li Feng Network.

The receptionist was very happy to see him but also a bit nervous.

After all, seeing such a handsome man like Tang Feng was a feast for the eyes.

But he was a major shareholder of the company. If there was anything unsatisfactory about the work, it could very well mean losing her job.

“Is President Ma here?” Tang Feng asked the receptionist.

“Yes. Let me take you,” the receptionist answered.

“No need! I know the way,” Tang Feng waved his hand and went upstairs directly.

The receptionist watched his back, wondering what he was thinking.

Soon, Tang Feng arrived at Ma Huateng’s office.

Ma Huateng was busy with documents but quickly got up to greet him.

“President Ma, am I disturbing your work?” Tang Feng asked.

“It’s fine. Could you give me two minutes? I just need to finish these documents,” Ma Huateng negotiated.

Tang Feng nodded and sat down on the sofa.

Ma Huateng quickly finished the documents and handed them to his secretary.

“Mr. Tang, what brings you here today? I feel like it’s been over a month since you last visited,” Ma Huateng said while pouring him tea.

“A whole month. During this time, I’ve been staying in the physics laboratory at Jingcheng University, really had no time. I even had my meals there,” Tang Feng answered.

“I’ve read all the related reports about Dragon Heart No.1. I must say, Mr. Tang, you’re really amazing!” Ma Huateng genuinely gave him a thumbs-up.

Tang Feng smiled and said, “It’s everyone’s achievement. I just provided the solution, and the specific work still needed others to complete. After all, I’m just one person, no matter how capable, I couldn’t possibly do so much work.”

“Mr. Tang, you’re really too modest. Everyone knows, what’s lacking is the solution. Being able to propose the right solution means solving half the problem. The rest is just a matter of time,” Ma Huateng said.

“Anyway, I still hope to downplay the individual and emphasize the team. Only in this way can we go further,” Tang Feng laughed.

“You’re absolutely right!” Ma Huateng nodded and asked, “When can Dragon Heart No.1 be launched?”

“About a week. In the coming period, the price of computers will also drop a lot, which is a very good news for all internet companies,” Tang Feng replied.

“Indeed good news. I see that several domestic computer manufacturers have already set their sales plans for the next year! Compared to this year, the sales volume has increased by at least fifty percent,” Ma Huateng said.

“Only fifty percent? It seems these computer manufacturers are still being conservative,” Tang Feng laughed.

“A fifty percent increase is already very good news for these manufacturers. If they continue to grow at this rate, these manufacturers will make a killing,” Ma Huateng said.

“Fifty percent is definitely not the limit. Of course, making a killing is uncertain. If nothing goes wrong, next year will definitely see an increase in the number of computer manufacturers. After all, with such a huge market, many people will be jealous. By then, the price will definitely drop significantly. According to my estimate, it might not make much money,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“You have a point. But anyway, it will definitely increase the number of computer users,” Ma Huateng thoughtfully nodded.

“You’re right! Next year, the number of new computer users will be at least over a hundred million! That means, if nothing goes wrong, next year, the number of users of uu chat will very easily break three hundred million, or even more,” Tang Feng said happily.

“Does that mean we become the biggest winners?” Ma Huateng was visibly startled.

“Not just us! All internet companies will benefit from this,” Tang Feng replied.

“I feel like internet companies are pigs on the wind! Even if they do nothing, as long as they keep up with the increase in computer users, they can make a lot of money,” Ma Huateng couldn’t help but exclaim.

“You’re right!” Tang Feng nodded and said, “For the vast majority of people, it’s all about the dividends of the era. Without the development of the times, individual efforts would be greatly diminished.”

Hearing Tang Feng’s words, Ma Huateng also felt deeply moved.
