Rebirth of Cultural System

  On the way back, Pong Zhang asked Su Jin in confusion why he wanted to give away 5% of the shares to Zhu Weilian for free. Su Jin replied calmly that compared to "Rong Shu Xia", he valued Zhu Weilian as a person more! If it could make Zhu Weilian work harder for "Rong Shu Xia", he would rather give him the remaining 4% as well!

  As for Zhu Weilian, Su Jin's understanding of him is that he is a true businessman! Even if "Rong Shu Xia" was created by his own hands, he can still sell it for a good price at any time!

  But at the same time, he is also a truly top-notch professional manager! "Under the Banyan Tree" was able to flourish under his hands! It can be said that without Zhu Weilian, there would be no "Under the Banyan Tree" that truly pioneered the online literature boom in the previous life.

  Unfortunately, Zhu Weilian was limited by the constraints of his time and never found a profitable direction. As a professional businessman, he had no choice but to sell "Under the Banyan Tree". However, he still tried his best to find a good buyer for it!

  Unfortunately, the "Under the Banyan Tree" lost by Zhu Weilian soon went into decline. Many things are like this, does the trend create heroes? Do heroes lead the trend? It's hard to say who is right or wrong!

  "The glory of 'Under the Banyan Tree' may have died out due to the passage of time, but at the same time, without Zhu Weilian's guidance, what made 'Under the Banyan Tree' stand out among many literary websites?"

  "There can be countless 'Under the Banyan Tree', but there is only one Zhu Weilian! As Su Zhan said, if Zhu Weilian really put his heart into 'Under the Banyan Tree', he could have given him more shares!"

  But at the same time, Su Jin also knew that Zhu Weilian was a very ambitious person! Generally speaking, a capable person will have ambition! The greater the ability, the greater the ambition!

  At the same time, having ambition also means that his loyalty to the company will be very low! Similarly, the greater the ambition, the lower the loyalty! And "under the banyan tree" is very important to Su Jian, so he must guard against it with one hand. This is also the reason why Su Jian must tightly grasp the controlling stake and not let go! As long as the controlling stake is in his hands, he believes that Zhu Weilian will not be able to turn the tables on him!

  Use and prevent! It seems a bit awkward, but Su Zhen is full of fighting spirit! In today's era where people are enlightened, it is impossible for anyone to be absolutely loyal to anyone. How to make one's subordinates sincerely obey oneself is a must-have skill for every boss!

  Su Jin knew that his goal was too big, and it was impossible to complete it alone. The only way was to gather countless elites to work together with him to achieve this career! But since they are elites, how can they easily be under others?

  "Zhu Weilian! Let's start with you! One day, I will gather countless talents from all over the world under my command, and lead you to create the greatest chapter!" Su Jin gazed at the sun rising outside the plane window, shouting in his heart.

  ……

  It's another mid-range coffee shop. Su Jin suddenly realized that young people of this era really like to come to such places! Some talented elite young people are even more so! It's as if coming in and out of here can raise their value!

  It wasn't until later generations that coffee shops became ubiquitous, but young people seemed to prefer hanging out in traditional Chinese tea houses.

  Coffee is just a stimulating drink for Su Jin, similar to a stimulant! He only thinks of it when he's mentally exhausted and wants to refresh himself. Normally, he never touches it because it's really too bitter!

  It is said that truly top-grade coffee can bring out a sweet flavor amidst the bitterness, but it's unclear whether Su Jing had never had so-called top-grade coffee before or if he was simply an uncouth person who couldn't appreciate such refined things. In any case, he had never tasted this kind of bitter-yet-sweet coffee!

  Su Jin appeared here today for the same reason - waiting for someone! He had an appointment with a very formidable person, and that person specified this place as the meeting point!

  Su Jian glanced at the wall clock, now it was 8:50. He had an appointment with that person at 9:00, and there were still ten minutes left. In fact, Su Jian had been here since 8:30. Because he wanted to sort out his thoughts one last time, as well as prepare what he would say to the person who was coming.

  At 9:00, the person Su Jin was waiting for appeared on time. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, I'm a bit late!" A voice came, with a hint of apology.

  Su Jian stood up, smiled slightly and said: "Nothing, I just came a bit early today. There's nothing going on, but I really like the coffee in this cafe, so I came a little earlier! Please sit down!"

  Su Jin let the newcomer take a seat, and the newcomer didn't continue to bother with this matter. "Director Su is the company's boss and also a well-known writer! I suppose he must be very busy and doesn't know how to find time to chat with a small reporter like me!" The newcomer said straightforwardly.

  "The last time I heard Xing Ge's words, it was very inspiring. This time, I specially arranged to meet Xing Ge here, not just for a casual chat, but because there are some things that need to be discussed!" Su said calmly.

  It turned out that this person was Xing Shantiger, whom Su Jian had met at a coffee shop a few days ago. After chatting with Xing Shantiger, Su Jian couldn't help but think of him constantly. As soon as he returned from Shanghai, he eagerly asked to meet up with him again.

  Xing Shantiger was able to see through Su Jin's identity at a glance, because when he first saw Su Jin, he felt familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite remember. Later, after going back and thinking carefully, he suddenly realized that the young man who had chatted with him in the coffee shop for half an hour was actually the boss of Dream Technology Company, Su Jin, the author of "The First Time" and "Dou Po"!

  As for Xing Shantiger, Su Jin suddenly made an appointment with him. Xing Shantiger felt a little puzzled, but his impression of Su Jin was not bad, so he agreed to meet Su Jin at this time and place.

  "I heard that Xing Ge has been a bit dissatisfied with his work recently? Is he planning to quit?" Su Jin asked suddenly. Although it was an inquiring tone, Su Jin's words carried a hint of certainty!

  "Who said that? How is this possible!" Xing Shantiger was shocked and instinctively opposed. However, his heart was turbulent with shockwaves! He had never told anyone about his intention to resign, nor had he shown any signs of it in his daily life, so how did he know?!

  "Haha, Brother Xing is speaking without thinking! Don't worry, I'm not an employee of the Ancient City People's Daily, and I don't have any relationship with your editor-in-chief. I won't report you!" Su Jin said slowly.

  Looking at Su Jin's calm and collected expression, Xing Shantiger's face gradually floated up with a wry smile: "Su really is all-knowing! I didn't think you'd know about this small matter of mine, so what do you want to say?"

  Su Jin smiled and said: "Xing Ge's resignation is a great thing for me!"

  "You!" Xing Shantiger's face changed color, wanting to say something but forcing himself not to say it, his face however rose with a thread of anger!

  Su Jian hastily explained: "Xing Ge, don't be angry! Hear me out! What I meant was that I've always wanted to invite Xing Ge to work at my Dream Net, but Xing Ge has a job and being an employee of the Ancient City People's Newspaper is not bad either. Without knowing Xing Ge's own thoughts, how could I rashly speak up? Fortunately, now that Xing Ge doesn't want to work at the newspaper anymore, I immediately came to invite you!"

  After listening to Su Jian's explanation, Xing Shantiger's face finally eased up a bit. After thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Su's kindness, I can only acknowledge it in my heart, but to be honest, I left the Ancient City People's Daily because I didn't want to work in the newspaper industry anymore. I want to pursue my true ideals. Maybe you'll think it's ridiculous - a man in his twenties who's about to get married still chasing after ideals! But that's just what I think!"

  Su Jin specially made an appointment with him, just to invite him to join the Dream Network. To say that Xing Shantiger was not moved at all in his heart is a lie. If it were before, he might have agreed.

  But what he said to Su Jin was indeed the truth. If it wasn't for this pursuit of his dream, he wouldn't have left Gu Cheng People's Daily, after all, that's a formal state-owned unit, with a stable income! Why bother jumping ship if you're just going to join another profession you don't like?

  "I believe! Everyone has dreams! Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams! Xing Ge is like that, and so am I!" Su Jin said with some excitement, looking at Xing Shantou.

  "Uh, thank you! Thank you!" Xing Shantiger didn't expect Su Nian to say this, and suddenly felt a sense of meeting a kindred spirit! He had quit his job at the Ancient City People's Newspaper to pursue his own dreams, and he knew that this reason sounded ridiculous! Most people who heard about his idea would probably think he was joking or crazy! This was also why he had never spoken out before.

  Ever since he had this idea, his heart has been bearing the enormous pressure. So when Su Jian suddenly exposed him today, he had such a loss of composure. But at this moment, after hearing Su Jian's moving words, his eyes suddenly turned red, his voice was choked with emotion, and in a daze, he could only say thank you a few times.

  "May I ask boldly, where is Brother Xing going, what's your dream?" Su asked after Xing Shantou's emotions calmed down a bit.

  Xing Shantiger smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Actually, my dream has always been to design games! Perhaps it's just my nature, but since I started using computers in college, I've had a passion for computer games and played them crazily. However, I always felt that the games on the market weren't satisfying enough, so I began to think about designing my own games."

  Unfortunately, the domestic game manufacturing industry is almost non-existent, so after graduating from university, I could only find a job at a newspaper company, and ended up staying there for five years! Originally, I thought that's how my life would be, but recently, I suddenly received an invitation from Jinshan Company to work at their Xishanju Studio!

  This rekindled my idea of making games, so I resolutely decided to quit my job at the newspaper and go to Xishanju!

  "Xing Ge's idea is not bad! The game design ability of Xishanju can be considered top-notch in the country, and some places can even reach international top-notch level! But in my opinion, if it's about Xing Ge's personal ideals, Xishanju is not the best choice!" Su Jian said slowly.
