Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: This is No Longer Important

 

Chen Fan did not expect Liang Shichu to be so direct, but he was not angry. Instead, he was a bit excited.

 

Because he also disliked beating around the bush and preferred to get straight to the point.

 

Chen Fan did not answer the other person’s question, but instead asked a question in return.

 

“How many people have withdrawn from Han Zijun’s separate team in total?”

 

Liang Shichu did not hide it: “13.”

 

“A bit less.”

 

Chen Fan shook his head slowly, seeming a little unsatisfied.

 

Liang Shichu glanced at Chen Fan.

 

“In our line of work, the strength is in quality, not quantity.”

 

“Many large tech companies had only two or three people when they first started their businesses.”

 

Chen Fan neither agreed nor disagreed, and then threw out a second question, “Since you’re so confident in your technology, it should be easy to find a job, right? Why bother coming to meet me?”

 

Liang Shichu’s face showed a hint of embarrassment for the first time.

 

“We’re all young people fresh out of college. To be honest, it’s a bit difficult to interview at big internet companies, they have plenty of experienced engineers with work history. We can only be considered newcomers.”

 

“There’s another reason, I was in the same class with them in college, and we have a deep bond. We’re not too willing to separate and hope to work together to create something interesting.”

 

Chen Fan smiled. It seemed that Zhou Honghai was not wrong, the Liang Shichu in front of him was indeed an ambitious person.

 

Next, Chen Fan asked the third and most important question.

 

“What makes you think I would invest in you?”

 

This time, Liang Shichu did not hesitate and gave an answer directly.

 

“I know that during your previous meeting with Old Han, you saw at a glance that Old Han’s startup could not succeed. I think you have a certain business acumen…”

 

Chen Fan stared into the other person’s eyes, “You’re not telling the truth.”

 

Liang Shichu was stunned for a moment, then explained: “That’s just one reason. I also talked to Brother Zhou Honghai and learned that you own two internet cafes, so you have some understanding of the internet.”

 

“Rather than cooperating with ignorant fools, I prefer to work with like-minded people.”

 

Chen Fan smiled.

 

Quite interesting.

 

“What are your plans for the future?”

 

This time, Liang Shichu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly.

 

“To be honest, I haven’t figured it out yet.”

 

Chen Fan changed his posture and asked with a smile, “What if I invest and help you start an internet company? How would you feel about that?”

 

Liang Shichu’s eyes lit up slightly, clearly excited, but he suppressed it.

 

“That would be… great.”

 

Chen Fan added, “We’ll cooperate, I’ll provide the capital, and you’ll provide the people. I’ll stay behind the scenes, and you’ll be the company’s general manager. I’ll give you thirty percent of the shares. Normally, I won’t be involved in the company’s management, and you’ll have full authority.”

 

Liang Shichu was startled and quickly sat up straight.

 

“Actually… I didn’t plan to…”

 

Chen Fan raised his hand to interrupt.

 

“I appreciate talented people, and I hope you can live up to my high regard for you.”

 

Liang Shichu was a bit embarrassed and did not know how to respond for a moment.

 

“How much… do you plan to invest?”

 

He wanted to confirm whether Chen Fan was investing a small amount just for fun or taking this seriously.

 

Chen Fan said very seriously while raising one finger.

 

“Initially, I’ll give you 500,000 to start the company, and then I’ll give you 500,000 every six months after that, with a tentative investment of 3 million yuan.”

 

Liang Shichu looked excited, this amount was much more than he had expected before coming.

 

If Chen Fan truly invested 3 million yuan, he was confident that he could lead his brothers to achieve some success in the internet industry.

 

He looked again at the young man in front of him who was even younger than himself.

 

The two had only met once and chatted for less than half an hour, yet the other party was willing to invest 3 million yuan to help him start a company.

 

That’s what you call magnanimous.

 

And through their conversation, Liang Shichu sensed some special qualities in Chen Fan.

 

For example, Chen Fan possessed strong self-confidence, and from start to finish, he completely controlled the pace and opportunities of the entire meeting.

 

After the meeting ended, the two walked out of the coffee shop together.

 

Liang Shichu could not help but ask: “What was your reason for deciding to invest in me?”

 

Chen Fan smiled, “Perhaps it’s fate. I like working with passionate young people.”

 

He sounded quite experienced for his age.

 

Liang Shichu’s expression became a bit strange, as if the person standing in front of him was not an eighteen-year-old youth, but a seasoned business tycoon.

 

“After the company is established, what product will we work on next?”

 

Chen Fan was being coy. “In the next few days, I’ll give you the initial 500,000 first. You need to find a place to establish the company and set up the basic framework first. Then we’ll discuss the next step.”

 

Liang Shichu nodded, taking this as Chen Fan’s first test for him.

 

Just before parting, Chen Fan suddenly asked a question.

 

“Why me?”

 

Liang Shichu didn’t react immediately.

 

“What?”

 

Chen Fan: “Why did you come to me for investment?”

 

Liang Shichu was stunned for a moment, then decided to tell the truth after some hesitation.

 

“A while ago, a senior from a major internet company told me about a young man who founded a trading website called Yuming.com.”

 

“In less than three months, it became famous and completely overwhelmed Yiyu.com. In the end, Yuming.com was successfully acquired by Wanwang for a high price. The rumor is that the acquisition price was no less than 5 million.”

 

Liang Shichu stared at Chen Fan, “Actually, when you first met Old Han, I guessed that the mysterious young man was you.”

 

“Since you were able to create Yuming.com, I believe you have unique insights into the internet, with strength and vision. I’m more willing to cooperate with someone like you.”

 

Chen Fan finally smiled.

 

He knew that this was Liang Shichu’s true thoughts.

 

However, Liang Shichu cautiously explained one more thing.

 

“This secret was my own guess, and I didn’t tell anyone, including Brother Zhou Honghai.”

 

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

 

“That’s no longer important. I like working with intelligent people.”

 

“I wish us a pleasant partnership in the future.”

 

He took the initiative to extend his right hand.

 

“A pleasant partnership.”

 

…

 

Venus Entertainment City.

 

The drunken Manager Pu staggered out from the hall.

 

He was hugging two girls wearing ultra-short skirts, and his hands were shamelessly groping their chests.

 

“See you beauties tomorrow.”

 

He swayed down the steps and reached the underground parking lot, humming a tune.

 

He took out his keys, unlocked the car door, and sat down before taking out his phone to make a call.

 

“Hey! Have you found those people yet?”

 

“They want to raise the price? Damn, what the hell, this bunch of racketeers is messing with me.”

 

“Tell them to give 5,000 first. The remaining 5,000 will be given after the job is done.”

 

“Give them the names of those three brats. Remember, I want each of them to have one leg broken.”

 

“Damn, and that girl, better bring her back to me. I have to taste what she’s like…”

 

“A bunch of stinking students daring to step on my head. If I don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll think they’re so great.”

 

Manager Pu cursed while lighting a cigarette and starting the car.

 

“Didn’t they say they were waiting for my revenge? This time I want their lives…”

 

As he was speaking, a figure walked over.

 

The person knocked on the car window.

 

“Get lost!”

 

Manager Pu shouted a curse.

 

Knock knock.

 

But the person kept knocking on the window.

 

Now Manager Pu was annoyed and rolled down the window.

 

“Are you deaf? I told you to get lost, didn’t you hear me?”
