I'm back in 1990

Chapter 522: A Milestone Conversation

"David, you're quite good with chopsticks!" Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but praise David Yang, who was skilled with chopsticks.

"Hongbo, find two spoons for those two." He said, gesturing towards the two bodyguards.

"Okay!" Qiao Hongbo immediately ran towards the cafeteria.

I had only gone out for less than 200 meters when I bumped into a group of school leaders and college leaders.

The Department of Economics has now been upgraded to the School of Economics, and the new dean is Zhuang Yonghua. He knows Qiao Hongbo and knows that he is Huang Xiaochuan's student, so he called out to Qiao Hongbo.

Qiao Hongbo quickly stopped and replied, "Yes."

Seeing that the school and college leaders had all left, Qiao Hongbo hurried towards the cafeteria.

It was already early winter, but Zhuang Yonghua's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. Huang Xiaochuan, this young man, was still so immature! He didn't even bother to report such a big thing to the college and the school. It was completely unexpected.

The principal and vice-principals knew about it earlier than I did, but when they came to me, I was completely unaware of it. Fortunately, the school leaders didn't hold it against me, otherwise I would definitely have been labeled as a manager.

As a result, because the principal's Mandarin had a heavy Wu dialect accent, the assistant named Locke couldn't understand a single word and could only look at Huang Xiaochuan with pleading eyes.

Huang Xiaochuan could only temporarily fill in as a translator, inwardly complaining that David Young was just making trouble for no reason. Now look what's happened, the commotion has grown bigger and bigger.

"You're just going to feed him a boxed lunch?"

Huang Xiaochuan quietly echoed Zhuang Yonghua, "Yes! He was quite satisfied with the food and even praised the taste of our school cafeteria food."

Zhuang Yonghua covered his face and exclaimed, "Okay!"

As the saying goes, "Isn't it a pleasure to have guests coming from afar?" Especially since this person is so famous, we should be treating him with the utmost hospitality. And this is what you, Huang Xiaochuan, serve him? If outsiders knew, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?

"OK!"

As he left, the principal patted Huang Xiaochuan on the shoulder, saying, "Professor Huang, not bad, not bad!"

I have to give a shout-out to Huang Xiaochuan. I never expected him to be so familiar with David Young. If it weren't for him, how could such a good thing have come to our university? Now those people from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Tongda University are going to be furious!

Last time, Zhang Xiangguang turned down invitations from other prestigious universities in Shanghai, but accepted the invitation to give a lecture at the University of Finance and Economics, which already made the university stand out. This time, the university is in even greater shape.

After all the leaders left, Ma Yifeng looked at Huang Xiaochuan with envy, jealousy, and resentment: "Wow, the big boss personally patted you on the shoulder! Now you're truly on the emperor's side!"

Huang Xiaochuan glared at Ma Yifeng unhappily: "I'll curse your grandpa!"

"Huang, I want to have a serious talk with you."

"Can!"

Seeing that the two had something to talk about, Ma Yifeng was very curious about what they would talk about, but he wisely left first. However, he also received a promise from David Young that he would not only sign an autograph for him, but also take a photo with him.

Ma Yifeng then left satisfied.

After leaving Huang Xiaochuan's office, Ma Yifeng realized he hadn't eaten lunch yet. Checking the time, he saw the cafeteria was already closed, so he hurriedly ran off-campus to get something to eat.

Huang Xiaochuan looked at the yellow-skinned, white-haired Chinese man with a mocking expression. This guy was trying to play dumb to fool others? He had already seen Yuho's latest quarterly financial report. The company had ample cash flow and didn't need to worry about the internet winter at all.

As the saying goes, "With food in hand, there's no need to panic." Huang Xiaochuan isn't worried about Yuho. However, the stock price will still be affected by the bursting of the bubble. But it's okay, just wait two or three years. After this great upheaval, the internet companies that survive will grow rapidly in the next few years.

"David, I've seen the company's latest quarterly financial report. The financial situation is very good. Even with the internet winter, the impact on Yuho won't be too significant. As for the bubble, it's been there for a long time. I don't believe you haven't been paying attention to that."

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan directly pointed out the issue he had been concerned about, David Young did not deny it and nodded, saying, "Yes, I also think that internet investors in the United States are too apathetic right now. They are all waving their money and trying to enter this field, which is actually a bad phenomenon. It has made me vigilant. After reading your article, I can basically confirm it. The only question is when the bubble will burst, Huang, do you know?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "David, I'm not a fortune teller, how would I know?"

"Huang, to be honest, I was a little worried before I came, but after meeting you, my worries disappeared and I gained great confidence. It seems that this last-minute trip to China was worthwhile."

"Come on, David! I think you're just bored. You've actually been following this event for a while, but you just wanted to confirm with me whether your judgment was correct. I can tell you definitively now, you're right. Continue doing things your way!"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded in agreement.

Furthermore, I plan to diversify my revenue streams and leverage this strong cash flow to acquire projects and companies I've already identified. That will be a good time to buy at the bottom of the market.

Huang Xiaochuan snapped his fingers in satisfaction: "Very good! It seems you are even more outstanding than I imagined."

The two chatted for a whole afternoon, mainly discussing their views and prospects for the future internet economy, and roughly deciding on future development strategies and directions.

The two chatted until dinner time before reluctantly ending their conversation.

This conversation laid the foundation for Yuho's development plan for the next ten years; in David Young's words, it was a landmark conversation.
