Idolizing wealth theory

  "Zhang Peng, let me tell you, if you can't satisfy me, all your bonuses for this year will be gone!" Zhang Hua Jian rushed to the company in a hurry and stormed into the department, shouting at Zhang Peng.

  Thinking of his son's disappointed eyes when he just told himself that his son was going to work overtime again, Zhang Hua Jian had a belly full of anger.

  "Hey boss, don't get angry first, you try this software first!"

  After finishing, Chen Peng took out his mobile phone with the smart voice-controlled home app installed and guided Zhang Hua Jian to join another voiceprint verification. Then he let Zhang Hua Jian experience it by himself.

  Ten minutes later, Zhang Hua Jian had completely calmed down and looked up at Chen Peng who was waiting on the side with a shocked expression: "Which big company developed this APP? It's too unbelievable!"

  "It's already been developed by a big company and has gone viral online, what did you call me for?" Chen Peng sneered.

  "Oh? You mustn't say this is developed by a newcomer! Has it been released on other Android app markets?" Zhang Hua Jian was indeed a managerial figure, and from Chen Peng's one sentence, he saw the highlight.

  "It's really a new account posting! And on your way here, I had Xiaotang check three times, and there is no download available for this software online! Not even any promotional posts on all the Android forums! However, this software has already been registered on Qidian Tieba, but before us, nobody paid attention!" Chen Peng replied immediately.

  "What did you say?" Intelligent people naturally don't need too many words, and after a few exchanges, Zhang Hua Jian understood Chen Peng's intentions.

  "That's right, we don't have the authority, now it depends on what conditions you can offer!" Chen Peng nodded.

  "Have you contacted the developer?" Zhang Hua Jian immediately entered a working state, and he was so excited that he even forgot to promise his son to hurry back.

  "I've sent an email, but haven't received a response yet. I've made over ten phone calls, and no one has answered. I reckon these tech guys are all night owls, so I'll try calling again later! Also, we've left messages on the market and in the post bar, hoping he sees them and contacts us immediately!" Chen Peng replied.

  "I'm now contacting the technical department, sending them a copy of this software to analyze and see if they can crack it and make something similar! Just this voice recognition engine alone is enough to leave our Qidian technology reserves several streets behind. Let's see what those tech nerds have to be proud of!" Zhang Hua Jian instructed.

  "Haha, don't even mention our speech recognition engine, there isn't a more awesome one on the internet. And this software's integration with system resources is also incredibly powerful, I don't understand how it can make the Android system run so much faster while reducing power consumption! Not to mention the phone's smart response!" Chen Peng said with a bitter smile.

  "Alright, Zhang Peng, stop being modest. This is really going to be a success, and I'll remember your contribution!" Zhang Hua Jian said generously, his earlier dissatisfaction with Chen Peng having clearly disappeared into thin air.

  "Hey, boss, you can't be biased! I also contributed to this! The system test after the software installation was all done by me!" Little Tang shouted.

  "Alright, everyone has a role! Chen Peng, you continue to think of ways to contact the developers and try to get in touch with them as soon as possible. Little Tang, don't slack off either, keep reviewing! I'll go make a call first and communicate with the technical side. If we manage to contact the developers, notify me!" Zhang Hua Jian instructed finally.

  ……

  When Wang Zhengyu walked back into Huo Guangbo's room, Huo Guangbo had already packed himself up.

  "Come on, let's go buy a mobile phone!" After trying to use the voice-controlled smartphone Home app on his friend's phone, Huo Guangbo felt that his Apple 5 was no longer handy.

  "What's the hurry? It's already 11:30, and Zhang Lao and the others will be back soon. We agreed to have lunch together, so why rush for just a little while longer? Why don't we chat about life instead?" Wang Zhengyu shook his head in disagreement.

  Eating lunch was secondary, Wang Zhengyu still had the 400,000 yuan that he hadn't gotten his hands on. Getting it as soon as possible and depositing it into the bank was what really mattered; there was only a single digit left on his card, and without money, everyday life would become a problem.

  "What a life you're living! Look at how arrogant you are! If you don't go buy a phone, hurry up and get online to see if your software has been released yet? See if there's any feedback? I'm saying, can't you have some sense of urgency for once?" Huo Guangbo said disdainfully.

  He rushed directly to the computer and turned it on. It has to be said that Huo Guangbo's passion for using this software to start a business far exceeds Wang Zhengyu's.

  "I'm saying, do you have to be so anxious? When uploading, others reminded that it needs 24 hours of audit time, how long has it been now?" Wang Zhengyu followed behind He Guangbo with a helpless tone, he was still preparing to share the joy of finally getting his first pot of gold in life.

  "What's the hurry? I'm helping you out here! You don't even take the initiative to make money, no wonder Mo Xiaoyao doesn't bother with you!" Ho Guangbo said irritably.

  "What kind of thinking is this? It's pure money worship! If Professor Ma heard you, he'd definitely drag you out for a good scolding! Besides, why shouldn't I be eager to make money? This morning alone I made 400,000, and it'll soon be in my pocket!" Wang Zhengyu said with a proud face.

  "Hmph!" Ho Guangbo sneered twice before saying, "Worshiping money? What's worshiping money? Who doesn't worship money? Put away that petty bourgeois mentality of yours! In this day and age, if you don't have money, who will care about your noble deeds? Let's not talk about distant things. Recently, when there was an earthquake in the west, how much did you donate? You often say those big business people are only interested in profit, but how much did they donate? Whose contribution is greater?"

  Here is the translation:

  "Let's put it this way, even if we don't talk about this, why did China reform its tax system? Why does the country need to collect so much tax? Isn't it all about money? In today's world, a country without money can't hold its head up internationally. Look at those small countries in Africa, what kind of international status do they have? Why? Because they're poor! Now look at other Arab countries, also small countries, but their leaders are respected wherever they go, why? Because they have money!"

  "But..." Wang Zhengyu just wanted to refute, but was immediately interrupted by Huo Guangbo.

  "What's the big deal? You earned 400,000 yuan and you're still showing off? 400,000 yuan is nothing! Do you know how much a house costs on average in Beijing within the Second Ring Road? It's at least 1 million yuan per square meter! Your 400,000 yuan can't even buy one-fourth of my bathroom! What are you boasting about? You like Mo Xiaoyao, right? Luckily she didn't agree to be with you, or else she would have been ruined by you! With just 400,000 yuan, you're already so smug, what kind of good life can others expect from you in the future?" Huo Guangbo continued to despise him.

  "I'm finished!" Wang Zhengyu's triumphant mood, which had risen not long ago, was instantly shattered by a few words from Huo Guangbo. Four million! A number that Wang Zhengyu didn't dare to think about before, was apparently worthless in Huo Guangbo's eyes. He couldn't help but say sourly: "Alright, stop talking, do you take pleasure in striking me down? We're not the same as you young masters, just living is a struggle!"

  "Am I hitting you not for your own good? Now that you have such a great opportunity, be more proactive and serious, seize it! Even if you don't have any grand ambitions, you wouldn't want to always be looked down upon by others like Mo Xiao Yao, would you?" Huo Guangbo continued to sprinkle salt on Wang Zhengyu.

  "Alright, alright, I surrender! From now on, when it comes to making money, I'll listen to you. Now let me take a look at our software release!"

  The battered Wang Zhengyu, who had been struck by Huo Guangbo, suddenly pushed Huo Guangbo away from the computer and quickly opened a webpage.

  It has to be said that Huo Guangbo's words really shattered Wang Zhengyu's small wealth and contentment mentality. Especially the sentence "You don't want to be looked down upon by Mo Xiaoyao forever, do you?" hit the pain point in Wang Zhengyu's heart at this moment. Perhaps a man's initial awakening usually starts with a woman, and Wang Zhengyu is no exception.

  Especially after having the Tian Shu, this heaven-defying divine artifact, Wang Zhengyu suddenly felt that if he still didn't achieve anything, it would be a waste of his life!

  After opening Qihoo 360 Android Market, Wang Zhengyu logged in with his account and password from the developer options, and then he saw the system prompt message.

  "Huh? Twelve messages? So many?" Wang Zhengyu looked up at He Guangbo who was leaning in close to him.

  "Hurry up and take a look!" Huo Guangbo urged.

  "Ho, all twelve messages are the same, asking me to contact them and leaving their phone numbers! Didn't they get through?" Wang Zhengyu said in a strange tone.

  "This is awesome! Haha, I knew it, this software will definitely cause a sensation once it's released!" Ho Guangbo said with glee.

  "Shall we go back?"

  "Nonsense, of course I'm going back!"
