Seeing Lang Hongjun's face full of shame, Ye Chen's impression of him changed a little.
Originally, I thought that he was just an egoist who was only greedy for glory and wealth, but looking at it now, he still has some conscience in his heart.
As for Lang Hongjun himself, he hasn't said these heartfelt words to anyone in all these years.
He also didn't really think that he had such a great fate with Ye Chen that he could speak the deepest words hidden in his heart.
He just kept these words in his heart for too long, and kept talking, but he didn't find a suitable person to confide in.
So, Ye Chen comforted him and said: "The motherland has always been tolerant to its children. After so many years, so many people like you have gone back, the motherland has always embraced it with open arms. Pursue that everyone can go back to serve the motherland after completing their studies, but as long as some of the sent out are willing to go back, then this is worth doing. As for the part that is lost in the middle, it is just normal It¡¯s just a loss.¡±
After a pause, Ye Chen said again: "It's like transporting a piece of ice in a foam box. No matter how tightly you wrap the ice, part of it will melt during transportation, but that doesn't matter, for the ice transporter. In other words, as long as there is still ice left when reaching the destination, then these efforts are of practical significance.¡±
Lang Hongjun was slightly taken aback, then nodded lightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Actually, we were attracted by the colorful world of the West back then. We always felt that the stage here is bigger and we can express ourselves better. In fact, we didn't I haven't really forgotten the motherland, but everyone is full of energy in their hearts. If they get along well, they will go back and serve the motherland a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times. It's just that there are always some people like me. Gradually, everyone will disappear"
Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun said with tears in his eyes: "I really want to serve the motherland! But now I can't even support my own mother. She is over 70 years old and still has to work in a Chinese restaurant to earn money. To subsidize the family, I have studied for so many years, learned so much technology, and written so much code, but in the end I have to be a seaman to support my family, how do you think I have the face to go back to China?"
Ye Chen asked him: "Do you understand the work of seafarers?"
Lang Hongjun shook his head, and said: "I only know the general workflow, but I don't know the specific working methods. I probably just do odd jobs on the ship. After all, I'm new here, and I still focus on learning. The most important thing about this job is hard work. Some of them can¡¯t stay at home for a year or so.¡±
Ye Chen asked again: "Then do you think you are suitable to be a sailor?"
Lang Hongjun shook his head again: "To be honest, I work in communication technology. If you want to ask me how to locate the freighter, how to avoid obstacles, and how to contact the land through satellites, I can tell you one, two, three, but you Let me be a seaman, I am really at a loss, I don't even know the basic structure of a ship, and I don't even know if I will get seasick when I get on the ship."
Speaking, Lang Hongjun said with emotion: "But there is no way, for life."
Ye Chen chatted with Lang Hongjun for a long time, and also learned more about Lang Hongjun's past.
Lang Hongjun used to be considered a genius boy.
When others just got their high school textbooks, he had already been admitted to a key university.
And when others were preparing for the college entrance examination, he had already studied abroad as a government-sponsored student.
At that time, those young people, before they came to the United States, had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary.
At that time, it coincided with the rapid development of Silicon Valley and the golden age when the Internet changed the world. Lang Hongjun saw that Zhang Chaoyang, who was also studying in the United States, returned to China and founded Sohu. .
He also saw many seniors and sisters who stayed in the United States to develop. In the process of the explosive development of the Internet, they became rich one by one. Some became presidents of listed companies with a net worth of over 100 million US dollars, while others became business partners. Ringing the bell on Nasdaq, he was worth tens of millions of dollars overnight.
He also saw many seniors and sisters who studied finance entered Wall Street investment banks after graduation, and got hundreds of thousands or even millions of high salaries as soon as they graduated. With a venture capital fund of billions of dollars, sometimes a meal can decide on an investment project worth more than several million dollars.
Then, he also saw many outstanding seniors and seniors who took the capital of American venture capital and returned to China to invest in a large number of star companies that will become famous in China in the future. They not only helped those companies become the top in the world, but also helped their own companies Investment banks have made huge profits, and they have all gained fame and fortune, and some have even been awardedAs the best investor, he published a book and made a biography, and became famous.
What he saw and heard deeply stimulated Lang Hongjun.
He doesn't want to go back to be an employee of a state-owned enterprise or a civil servant after finishing his studies in the United States step by step. He also wants to be like those people, become a master, and then return to China as a master, and create a great companies, or invest in a group of great companies.
However, in any industry, the channels for top talents are very narrow.
For so many years, there are millions of international students who are originally elites, but there are not even a few hundred who can truly become masters.
?Because in any era, a top talent must have the right time, place and people. It is by no means that one person will be able to climb to the top if he works hard alone.
This is the case with Lang Hongjun.
He stayed in the United States with a dream in mind, but reality kept waving a big stick at him.
In the first few years of studying in the United States, he still had ideals in his heart, but it didn't take long for him to start to make a living and gradually become ordinary.
As Lang Hongjun chatted with Ye Chen a lot, as he confided his heart more and more, his whole body, I don't know when it started, became full of tears.
Seeing that the plane was about to land, Ye Chen handed him a tissue and said, "Brother, Mexico is not suitable for you. When the plane lands, buy a ticket to go back."
Lang Hongjun shook his head and said, "What are you going to do when you go back? My wife and children are still waiting for me to support them, and the family car has already been sold. If this continues, the house will have to be sold."
As he said, he said with a firm face: "Being a seafarer can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year, which can solve the family's financial problems, so I must grit my teeth and stick to it."
Seeing his resolute expression, Ye Chen suddenly felt that his previous plan seemed to need some adjustments.
He originally planned to ask the people of Wanlong Palace to snatch Lang Hongjun away in advance, find a place to lock him up first, and release Lang Hongjun after he has investigated the whole matter clearly and uprooted Mei Yuzhen and the people behind her .
When the time comes, where he wants to go and what he wants to do, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, I might have saved his life, which can be regarded as his good fortune.
But now Ye Chen suddenly found that facing this middle-aged man who was almost desperate for life and trying to struggle in desperation, doing so would only cut off the little hope he had for life right now.
When he returns to the United States after a false alarm, his old mother will continue to work in the restaurant, and his wife and children will still have no livelihood. Even their sheltered house may be taken back by the bank.
Therefore, instead of this, it is better to take Lang Hongjun with him.
Let him experience it for himself, whatever lies ahead for him.
Perhaps, after all the dust settles, this experience will allow this confused and poor middle-aged man to find his way back. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
