Chapter 185 - 185 I Believe In Xie Yan's Ability! What About You, Uncle?
185 I Believe In Xie Yan’s Ability! What About You, Uncle?
Father Xie was tall and had a loud voice. The small meeting room even echoed. Xie Yan was so afraid that he didn’t dare to speak and curled up like a little chick.
Luo Feng’s ears were also buzzing. He roared in a low voice, “Shut up!”
Father Xie’s eyes widened hearing this. It had been many years since anyone dared to talk to him like this! Even when he was young and poor, no one dared to have such an attitude. Not to mention now that he was old and rich. No one dared to talk back to him.
He did not expect to be shouted at by a brat.
Father Xie was a little shocked. “You…”
Luo Feng did not give him a chance to speak. “Xie Yan is already an adult. Can’t he even decide what he wants to do?”
“He’s my son!” Father Xie argued. “Besides, the family is such a big company. If he doesn’t inherit it, who will?”
The others looked at Xie Yan with complicated expressions.
In the past, they were still very envious of Xie Yan. They felt that even if he failed to start a business, he still had a way out. He could go home and inherit the company. He would still be above everyone else. His starting point was the end of many children from normal families.
But now, it seemed that his family business had become a rope that tied Xie Yan up. He had no autonomy at all.
They actually felt that Xie Yan was a little pitiful.
“Then ask Xie Yan if he wants to go back.” Luo Feng pointed at Xie Yan, wanting him to express his thoughts with his own mouth.
Although Xie Yan was so scared that he curled up into a ball, he knew that today was his last chance. If he didn’t fight for it, he would really have no freedom and ideals!
He shook his head violently.
Father Xie had long known what his son was thinking. In the past, he didn’t agree but he had respect for him, but now, he doesn’t even want to give him any respect. “What do you know, kid? Go home and start a real business. You can earn tens of millions a year. Do you think it’s unfair to you?”
Speaking of his family’s company, Father Xie was a little proud.
He had risked his life to build the empire for his son after all. He did not want to suffer the hardship of starting a business again. He had prepared everything, but who knew that his silly son would not want it?
He had plunged into the pit of entrepreneurship again!
It was said that they were not afraid of rich second-generation heirs being prodigal, but they were afraid that rich second-generation heirs would have ideas.
“Tens of millions?” Luo Feng was disdainful. He smiled and said, “Uncle, tens of millions is not comparable to Xie Yan’s dream. I don’t fancy that bit of money, let alone him!”
“Boss, it’s right that you don’t like it. Your investment alone is more than ten million yuan after all.” The others thought to themselves.
“What did you say?” Father Xie did not expect Luo Feng to be so arrogant.
Luo Feng smiled and did not answer. He said to Xie Yan, “Xie Yan, speak for yourself.”
He kept sending messages to Xie Yan, hoping that Xie Yan would be brave enough to express his wishes. If he did not rely on his own strength to cross the mountain of his father, he would not be able to cross the other obstacles in the future.
Xie Yan glanced at Luo Feng. Due to his father’s dignity and past habits, he could not help but tremble.
However, seeing that Luo Feng trusted him so much, Xie Yan mustered his courage. “I… I want to make… I want to make takeaways!”
“Hmph.” Father Xie snorted. “What can takeaway do?”
“No… No!” Xie Yan pinched himself and said with a red face, “I… We’ve calculated it. The food delivery industry… It’s… It’s a market worth hundreds of billions!”
“100 billion yuan.” Father Xie was skeptical. It was obvious that he did not trust the judgment of the children.
Xie Yan felt that this was his confidence. He raised his head and looked into his father’s eyes. “The scale of our food and beverage industry has already exceeded one trillion yuan this year, and it’s still rising! The takeaway industry can be considered a part of the food and beverage industry. As long as we occupy 10% of the market share, there’s a possibility of making more than 100 billion yuan!”
Luo Feng found it a little familiar. Wasn’t this what he usually said to buff him up? So he really kept it in his heart.
Xie Yan was not a fool. He had privately estimated what Luo Feng had said. It was indeed very promising even though the answer he came up with was more conservative than what Luo Feng had said.
Luo Feng did not mean to lie to him but he could not say that he had been reborn and had seen the future development of the food delivery industry, right?
Actually, the general direction that Luo Feng was pointing in was not wrong. It was just that he had given Xie Yan some small numbers.
That’s right, the market value of the food delivery industry was far higher than Luo Feng had said.
At the current rate of economic development, in less than five years, the scale of the food business would break through to four trillion yuan, and the scale of the takeaway market would exceed five hundred billion yuan!
In fact, this was not the end!
In short, Luo Feng and the others had just entered the game. It was not a problem to nurture an Internet giant.
Father Xie looked at Xie Yan’s face, which had turned red from nervousness. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. This was the first time he had this feeling after raising his son for almost twenty years.
He didn’t like it when Xie Yan talked back to him. In the past, because of his entrepreneurial business, Xie Yan lacked the love and care of his parents. He had a weak personality and returned to his parents’ side after he became sensible. Father Xie was very generous to him in terms of money, and he was indeed stricter in discipline. This also caused Xie Yan to be like a mouse that saw a cat when he met Father Xie. He didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
This was the first time Xie Yan had contradicted his father.
Father Xie actually felt a little gratified.
However, it was only for a moment. The smile on his face had already sunk before it could be revealed.
Father Xie’s face was ashen. “You make it sound better than singing. Do you really understand the market? It’s not something you can grasp just by reading two articles!”
Luo Feng chuckled and said, “Uncle, you’re in the real economy. I’m sure you’ve investigated the scale of the food and beverage market. You can point out where Xie Yan was wrong.”
Father Xie was stunned for a moment and did not answer Luo Feng.
Food was the priority of the people. It could be said that the food and beverage industry was an indicator of economic development. Even though Father Xie did not make food directly, he still had to understand it.
At least in terms of estimating market share, Xie Yan was right.
But so what!
Father Xie sneered. “Even if the food delivery industry has potential, can you do it, Xie Yan?”
Xie Yan trembled hearing his father’s ridicule. He lowered his head again. He couldn’t help but ask, could he really do it? Or was he delusional?
Luo Feng sat in the middle and felt anxious.
Father Xie really knew how to manipulate Xie Yan. If he couldn’t refute the truth, he would start denying the future. But who dared to say anything about the unknown? Xie Yan didn’t dare, and Father Xie couldn’t either!
“Perhaps in your heart, Xie Yan can’t do it. But in my heart, Xie Yan can change the existence of the food and beverage industry!” Luo Feng suddenly said.
He patted Xie Yan’s shoulder. Just like when he chose Xie Yan, he was filled with anticipation for him. Moreover, he was even more determined than before!
Xie Yan looked up in disbelief. His dim eyes suddenly lit up upon receiving Luo Feng’s trust.
It turned out that Luo Feng trusted him more than anyone else!
