"Is it really that bad? I think you still need an operations expert, but I haven't found a suitable one in the short term..."
"Okay, Tony, we will warmly welcome Mr. Bill Green and accept his appropriate suggestions!" Sergey quickly organized Jiang Yizhou to continue, worried that there would be more uncomfortable situations for them later.
Jiang Yizhou shrugged and spread his hands, "See, isn't this a good way to communicate? Larry Page, Sergey, as entrepreneurs without experience in running a business, what you lack the most is a professional manager who can free you from the daily clutter of management."
"Mr. Bill Green can only provide limited support and guidance to the company as a board member; seeking professionals in the future is inevitable, and you need to recognize this!" Jiang Yizhou felt it necessary to emphasize.
However, his network was too thin to invite many heavyweight figures. For instance, he definitely couldn't invite Eric Schmidt, who historically served as an executive at Google. Venture capital requires sharing; only by bringing in suitable partners and gaining their resource support can a startup grow and achieve greater returns.
If Jiang Yizhou held onto Google's financing without giving up enough shares, it would be uncertain whether Google could reach its later heights. Many companies with bright futures historically have faltered midway.
As a Reborn Person, if he had the ability to do it himself, that would be better. But for a company like Google, he didn't have the capability to scale it up. Rebirth wasn't about transforming into a super being; he was still himself, just with over a decade of time and memories, and the right to live anew.
Seeing the serious Jiang Yizhou, the two listened intently, holding a sense of reverence for their former superior, now investor and co-founder.
Although his technical skills were lacking compared to the employees at Google, who graduated from prestigious American universities with excellent degrees, Jiang Yizhou's seemingly precise vision of the future compelled them to admire him.
After bidding farewell to the Google headquarters, Jiang Yizhou immediately felt relaxed as he drove back to the office location of Ailumese.
Having wrapped up his last matter in America, Jiang Yizhou also welcomed the countdown to his return home. In his previous life, he was merely a corporate drone struggling to survive. Even without mortgage or car loans to pay off and no family to support, life was still tough.
Deep down, he still longed for wealth and comfort, wanting to live like a normal Billionaire: private jets, yachts, parties, and different companions. He couldn't engage in such a decadent lifestyle; it would make him uneasy.
He didn't want to pursue hobbies like building rockets or establishing brain science foundations like the new rich in Silicon Valley. Those seemed unappealing for someone with an introverted personality. Perhaps acquiring a few animation production companies and funding projects he loved but that had failed due to losses would be better.
With his assets sorted out clearly, Jiang Yizhou felt a sense of relief and a desire to start anew. Without the sense of responsibility brought by the Venture Capital Firm, he was now an investor supporting his own ideas without worrying about losses or facing the anger of investors who viewed him as unproductive.
Responsibility—these two words had burdened Jiang Yizhou throughout his previous life. This was also the core lesson taught by his parents: as an exam machine achieving results that made them proud by entering a prestigious university—this was responsibility.
However, in the later stages of his life, he needed to take responsibility for himself, and he became lost. In the past, he had worked hard to meet the expectations of his family and elders, studying diligently for exams, but it was all for the sake of those exams. When he reached university, he was dazzled by everything but also lost his way; everything required him to take responsibility for himself.
What should I do?
What can I do?
What do I need to bear?
Can I persist for this?
A series of questions led him to simply give up on the responsibility of making his life better and instead choose the simplest option: to live simply.
As an ordinary self-made person who received a noble education from his parents, he was harsh on himself regarding his life. This was Jiang Yizhou's evaluation of his past life.
"How pretentious!" Everyone feels that they were immature and pretentious when they were young. Looking back at his past self, Jiang Yizhou felt the same way.
However, the current him is also a pretentious person, but who cares! He has the right to be pretentious.
...
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying…” The captain's voice came through the airplane's announcement system. Jiang Yizhou felt the plane gradually descending and knew he was returning to Beijing.
Shen Qing naturally followed Jiang Yizhou back to Beijing. On the American side, the management and supervision of Ailumese Technology and two investment companies had been arranged. Her main job was to turn Jiang Yizhou's ideas into feasible plans and coordinate the resources under his name to realize them.
Casually tossing a note from a beautifully dressed flight attendant in first class into the trash can, Jiang Yizhou waited for Shen Qing to return from collecting their luggage before walking towards the airport exit together.
Ding Zhengnan excitedly waved her hands, anxiously waiting at the airport for nearly an hour, feeling eager to throw herself into her boyfriend's arms.
Jiang Yizhou also discerned a bit and found his girlfriend, who was wearing a pink and white coat. Her slender legs were wrapped in black, and she was wearing a pair of leather shoes.
Because he had thoughts that could seriously harm his girlfriend, Jiang Yizhou approached her with a faint smile.
After glancing at Shen Qing, who was carrying a large bag, Ding Zhengnan felt relieved and wrapped his arm around Jiang Yizhou's. "You won't be leaving again so soon, will you?"
The reality of being apart often and his boyfriend's laziness, along with his tendency to get close to those around him, made her somewhat worried. If they could always be together, that personality would naturally be a good thing. However, after a long separation, one never knows when some unexpected person might take advantage of the situation.
"I won't. This time I'm settling down here," Jiang Yizhou said with a calm smile, which made Ding Zhengnan feel uneasy but not overly concerned.
In the past, she thought Song Rushi's relationship with her boyfriend was a bit excessive and had nudged her to distance herself from him. Song Rushi complied and left her boyfriend, which eased her worries significantly. But what was happening now?
"Yi Zhou, you..."
"What is there to say? We'll talk slowly when we get back! I'm starving!"
Jiang Yizhou's overly calm smile and tone kept striking at Ding Zhengnan's heart.
