Reborn in 1999: Starting as a black marketeer

Liu Yingying accepted the things Wang Feiyang handed her without any hesitation. "Hehe, these are all my favorite foods. Thank you, Feiyang. Oh, by the way, this is my roommate, Zhuzhu."

The shy and quiet girl also said "hello," her voice so low it was like a mosquito's buzz.

They had changed their clothes when they came back, both dressed very lightly. Zhuzhu was wearing a loose long-sleeved loungewear set, while Liu Yingying was wearing tight-fitting sportswear, which made her figure look curvaceous and her long legs were very alluring.

However, Wang Feiyang couldn't afford to think about anything else right now; making money was the most important thing!

After Liu Yingying turned on her laptop and connected to the internet, he sat down at his desk and started browsing the internet, while the two girls went to the other side to eat snacks.

This is a Toshiba laptop, which Wang Feiyang considers a bit bulky, but in this era, it's already synonymous with thin and light, while desktop computers are still using bulky CRT monitors.

I glanced at the specs out of habit: Pentium MMX 133MHz processor, 32MB RAM, 1.5GB hard drive…

This performance is only good enough for browsing the internet, watching movies, and listening to music; it probably can't handle games.

He first logged into the company QQ account (10006) and found that Mr. Ma had left him several messages.

It's 3 PM Moscow time, which is 7 PM in China. Mr. Ma should have already finished get off work, so his profile picture is gray and he's not online.

The comments included information about the company's business development and the progress of negotiations with some VC firms, and they were mostly positive.

Thanks to the 200,000 yuan invested by Wang Feiyang, the company's financial difficulties were alleviated. After increasing the server capacity and bandwidth, the number of QQ user registrations surged rapidly, reaching nearly two million.

In addition, when Mr. Ma and his team negotiated with VCs, they felt much more confident. They were no longer clueless about the company's prospects and traffic monetization as before. As a result, they successfully attracted the interest of several foreign VCs and are currently in negotiations. It is estimated that there will be practical progress soon.

Wang Feiyang smiled knowingly. Because of his involvement, he had slightly changed the development process of the penguins. He estimated that the penguins in this life would be even more glorious than the previous one!

The funding they receive in the first round will definitely be much more than the two million US dollars they received in their previous life!

Recalling how Tencent only raised $220 million in its first round of financing in his previous life, yet had to give up a whopping 40% of its shares, Wang Feiyang felt a pang of heartache…

He will not allow this to happen again!

I left a few words for Mr. Ma, offering my suggestions on the amount of financing and the share transfer, and also gave him my mobile phone number so he could call me directly if there was any emergency.

After logging off the official QQ account, I logged into 66666's personal account. Sure enough, Su Ying and Song Yi had both left me messages, mostly about how much they missed Wang Feiyang. It felt like so long had passed in just a few days since we separated...

Looking at the messages, Wang Feiyang smiled and quickly left a message for each of the two women.

Both women's profile pictures were grayed out, indicating they were offline.

After finishing these tasks, Wang Feiyang opened a webpage and entered YANDEX.RU, a Russian search engine that went online in 97, but is still quite rudimentary.

Switching to Russian input method, Wang Feiyang quickly searched for information. The screen was full of Russian web pages. After finding his target, he browsed it carefully and asked Liu Yingying for paper and pen, jotting down some things from time to time.

While I was busy working, Liu Yingying came over with some potato chips, peeked at the website, and asked in surprise, "These are all Russian websites, can you understand them?"

"Yes, I've been learning Russian since I was little." Wang Feiyang says this to everyone now, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he speaks Russian so well.

"Oh? Then you're so lucky. You don't even have to attend preparatory classes, so you'll definitely be able to graduate smoothly." Liu Yingying said enviously, picking up a potato chip with her slender fingers and handing it to Wang Feiyang.

Wang Feiyang was busy taking notes, so he naturally opened his mouth and ate it, his lips accidentally touching Liu Yingying's fingers.

The moment they made contact, Liu Yingying's body trembled uncontrollably. She then casually withdrew her finger and subconsciously put it in her mouth and sucked on it.

However, when she came to her senses, she realized that what she was doing seemed inappropriate, and a blush immediately rose on her fair cheeks.

Fortunately, Wang Feiyang was busy and didn't notice her expression.

After finishing his investigation, Wang Feiyang picked up his phone and started making a call, beginning with "Allo, zudrivstvyutte!..."

His Russian was so fluent that it sounded like a native Moscow speaker, leaving Liu Yingying and Zhuzhu, who were standing next to him, dumbfounded.

The two of them forgot about their snacks and turned to look at Wang Feiyang, listening to him talking at length in Russian on the phone. Although they couldn't understand a word he was saying, they knew he was very capable!

After making several phone calls, Wang Feiyang picked up a pen and jotted down some notes as he spoke.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Feiyang let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and saw that the two girls were staring at him blankly, so he asked with a smile, "What's with those expressions?"

"Wow! I didn't quite believe you when you said you'd been learning Russian since you were little, but after listening to you on the phone, I know you weren't exaggerating at all! Since your Russian is so good, I'll definitely ask you for help if I ever need anything in the future," Liu Yingying said excitedly.

She arrived quite early, almost half a year ago. Although she studies diligently in class, her Russian level is still not good enough to have a normal conversation with Russians. After all, it's a new language, and a rather difficult one at that. In half a year, she can only learn the basics.

Moreover, after spending some time in Moscow, I increasingly felt the many inconveniences caused by the language barrier.

Here, you have to handle everything yourself, but handling everything requires communicating with people in Russian, which creates a vicious cycle...

Therefore, international students who are good at Russian are very popular, as they can really be of help when needed!

"No problem, I'm happy to serve you ladies whenever I have time. Alright, I won't bother you any longer, I've finished everything here." Wang Feiyang stood up and joked.

"Let's play a little longer. Do you want to watch a movie? I brought a lot of DVDs from China." Liu Yingying was still a little reluctant to let him leave.

"Today is January 1st, the first day of the new millennium! Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll prepare a lot of dishes. Even though we're in a foreign country, we can't skimp on ourselves. By the way, Zhuzhu, how about we join us tonight?" Wang Feiyang looked at the shy girl.

Before Zhuzhu could speak, her face flushed red. She quickly waved her hand and said softly, "I'm going to my cousin's later, so I won't eat with you. Maybe next time..."

"Zhuzhu's cousin is also a student at Moscow University. She's a junior and lives in the main dormitory building," Liu Yingying explained from the side.

The reason Wang Feiyang organized this get-together today is not just for a simple meal...
