Chapter 682: Chapter 246: Xiaoliu’s Transfer Plan_2
"But overall, this is a positive experiment!"
"The Internet economy is the trend and tide of future economic development. During the exploration process, National might have some concerns and worries, but from a long-term perspective, it will definitely support it. It might even sooner or later step in to formulate policies to support the development of the Internet economy, assist Internet companies in solving problems, and combat cybercrime."
"Discussing from a technical perspective, I think Ah Li is better prepared than Tencent. After all, a few years ago, Tencent almost sold for one million, while Ah Li secured two rounds of funding totaling thirty million US Dollars from 1999 to 2002, giving them ample resources for technology compared to Tencent!"
"If the issues with this third-party payment tool are resolved, its applications could extend far beyond just online shopping. It might even be used for paying phone bills, utility bills, cable TV fees, booking hotels, buying plane and train tickets, hailing taxis..."
Su Zelin casually listed future applications of Wealth Treasure, leaving Yang Fen and Kang Baohong astonished.
In less than ten years, all these would become reality; however, to people in the current era, it sounded like pure fantasy.
"Can one Wealth Treasure really do all that?"
Kang Baohong couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s just an ambitious idea, anything is possible. Of course, it takes time to prove. Whether Wealth Treasure succeeds or fails, let’s wait and see!"
Though he said this, Yang Fen and Kang Baohong could hear Su Zelin’s confidence in e-commerce from his tone.
In fact, ever since, the freeloaders have been very optimistic about this sector and have even convinced New Era to enter early, not only by opening online stores to strike gold but also by planning to assemble a dedicated team to develop their own app.
At that time, many brands didn’t pay attention to this aspect. They thought online shopping was still a long way off and might never become the mainstream consumption method. Even brands optimistic about it only viewed it as a minor supplement to offline sales and did not invest much energy in it.
But they all trusted Su Zelin’s foresight. This boss always had a far-reaching vision.
In the evening, leaving the company, he didn’t go to Song Yuwei’s rented place for dinner because the female assistant and several familiar female colleagues had made plans to dine and shop together, so Su Zelin didn’t get involved.
He and Song Yuwei were having an underground relationship. Office romances aren’t forbidden, but given their positions in the same department, where he’s directly above her, it wouldn’t be good for such a matter to become public, so they had to be cautious.
Back on campus, the freeloader made a trip to the Financial Institute store.
"Hello, welcome!"
He was greeted by an unfamiliar new face.
Every new semester, the store sees a batch of senior students leave. They need to prepare their graduation projects and internships, leaving them too busy to juggle both studies and part-time jobs.
But every departing employee is quite grateful to New Era. They were all disadvantaged students, and New Era provided them with an exceptional opportunity to earn money while studying, relieving some of the pressure of tuition and living expenses, and they learned a lot as well.
When senior students leave, naturally new employees are hired to take their places.
This unfamiliar face belonged to a freshman. Su Zelin hadn’t shown up at the Financial Institute store this semester, so he was mistaken for a customer.
Before Su Zelin could respond, someone ran over: "Haha, Ah Xin, no need to greet him. He’s one of us, the old big boss of the Financial Institute store!"
It was Gray Wolf who had spotted Su Zelin and came forward to introduce him to the new employee.
"Old big boss?"
The employee called Ah Xin was taken aback.
"He used to be our boss, absolutely a veteran of the Financial Institute store, served as manager once, even brought up Manager Liu personally!"
Gray Wolf first briefly explained the origin of the "old big boss" title before continuing, "But the old big boss got promoted to a high position at headquarters, so he rarely comes to the Financial Institute store, hence you haven’t seen him before!"
Ah Xin was stunned.
Wow, this old big boss is amazing!
From store manager to branch manager, and then to headquarters executive, while still being a university student, that’s incredible!
Seeing him dazed, Gray Wolf smacked him on the head: "What are you standing there for, greet your senior and the old big boss!"
This kid just doesn’t get it.
But it’s understandable for a new freshman employee to be a bit naive. Give them a year or two in the store, and they will become much savvier.
"O-o-old big boss..."
Ah Xin’s face turned red, and he stuttered, repeating "old" four times in greeting.
"Haha, relax, I’m no longer at the Financial Institute store. Gray Wolf, stop scaring people!"
Su Zelin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, as if he saw the shadow of his younger self in the newcomers around him.
"Did not!"
Gray Wolf protested: "I’m just teaching him to be more sharp! By the way, boss, you haven’t come to visit us for so long, I’ve missed you to death!"
Su Zelin was a bit dizzy: "What visit are you talking about, do you even know what that word means? It’s only a ’visit’ when a man sees a woman. Gray Wolf, don’t act cultured if you don’t understand!"
"Alright then, you’ve come to visit Manager Liu. That’s correct, right?"
Gray Wolf scratched his head, "correcting" himself.
Su Zelin: "..."
Even though he hadn’t come to visit Liu Wanyin, the freeloader indeed needed to see Liu Wanyin.
All the other senior employees had voluntarily resigned, leaving only Liu Wanyin.
Xiaoliu has already decided to stay with New Era for development. This company is her internship place, which doesn’t affect her job search since it’s been predetermined long ago.
