Chen Fan met Zhou Honghai for the first time.

This time we chose a teahouse opposite Yunhai University.

Moreover, this time the two met alone, without Su Ruchu.

Sitting in the seat, I glanced at the time and saw that there were still five minutes left before the agreed time.

Chen Fan was a little curious. What on earth did Zhou Honghai want to talk to him about?

Why did you tell Dai Ruchu not to come over?

Is it because he wants to agree to my condition last time and become the manager of Chu Jian Internet Cafe?

Just as I was thinking about it, someone came into the store.

"Old Zhou!"

Chen Fan raised his hand and waved.

I was somewhat surprised to find that Zhou Honghai was not alone.

There was a young man wearing black-framed glasses beside him.

This surprised Chen Fan a little.

I don't understand what the other person means.

"Sorry, I'm not late, am I?"

As soon as Zhou Honghai came over, he apologized with a smile, and his tone was obviously much more cordial than when they met yesterday.

"No, no."

Chen Fan motioned for them to take a seat.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Whatever."

Chen Fan nodded and called the waiter over.

"Please give us a pot of Da Hong Pao and some desserts."

"Good sir."

Zhou Honghai felt a little embarrassed.

"I chose the location, so I should be the one to treat you."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"You are so polite..."

Seeing Chen Fan looking to the side, Zhou Honghai quickly smiled and spoke.

"By the way, let me introduce it to you."

"This is Han Zijun, my old college classmate and roommate. Old Han, this is the Chen Fan I was talking about."

As soon as he heard the other party's introduction, Chen Fan understood.

It turns out that the bookish-looking guy opposite is the old classmate that Zhou Honghai mentioned who is preparing to start a business.

I looked Han Zijun up and down. The lenses of his glasses were very thick, at least 80 degrees, and he had a big side part in his hair. I don't know if it was for this meeting, but he also wore a plaid shirt on purpose.

A typical tech geek.

While Chen Fan was looking at each other, Han Zijun was also looking at Chen Fan.

Too light.

Even if you had already had psychological expectations before coming.

But when he saw Chen Fan, Han Zijun was still shocked.

At the same time, I felt a sense of emotion.

I have learned so much about computer technology, but I am not as smart as a student who is not a computer major.

Chen Fan smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

Han Zijun was stunned, then laughed.

I secretly thought that this kid is really capable.

Knowing that I was a graduate student at Yunhai University, I just called me Senior.

The distance between them was shortened in an instant.

Han Zijun smiled and extended his hand, "I'm already well-known for my friendship with Junior Chen."

Seeing Chen Fan's puzzled look, Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly.

"I had dinner with Lao Han last night, and he mentioned a piece of news that was very popular some time ago. Wanwang spent 50,000 to acquire a website called Domain Name Network..."

Chen Fan's expression froze for a moment, then he understood immediately.

so it is.

During the summer vacation, I built a domain name network at Zhou Honghai Computer School. I did not keep it secret at the time, and Zhou Honghai knew about it.

It seems that these two came to find me because of this matter.

As if he was afraid that Chen Fan would be angry, Zhou Honghai apologized first.

"This is my fault. I didn't know about the news at the time and just casually told others that you had built a website at my place."

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't seem angry, Zhou Honghai asked tentatively.

"Chen Fan, is your website the one that Wanwang is acquiring?"

Chen Fan nodded.

“Yes.”

Zhou Honghai and Han Zijun looked at each other.

Although they had expected it, the two were still excited and thrilled when their guess was confirmed.

Chen Fan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two.

"I don't plan to publicize this because I'm still in school, so I want to keep a low profile."

Zhou Honghai immediately smiled and nodded.

"I understand. Don't worry, only Lao Han and I know about this, and we will never tell anyone else."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Old Zhou, you called me here today... not just to confirm this, right?"

Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly, "Of course not."

"Actually, it's Han who wants to see you today."

Zhou Honghai gave a brief explanation, and Chen Fan finally understood.

It turned out that this group wanted to start a business, but they still needed some start-up capital.

After knowing that his website had just sold 50,000, Han Zijun set his sights on himself.

Chen Fan looked at Han Zijun.

To be honest, he didn't mind the other person's behavior.

On the contrary, I feel a little bit of appreciation.

Ordinary entrepreneurs, with no capital or background, naturally have to seize every fleeting opportunity.

In his previous life, Chen Fan had just started his business and encountered many setbacks and hardships.

He understands the other party.

So Chen Fan did not refuse directly, but asked with a smile.

"I wonder what industry you are planning to start your own business in."

Han Zijun is very straightforward.

"I studied computers, so naturally I wanted to start an Internet company."

"So what are you going to do?"

This time Han Zijun hesitated for a moment.

“I want to build a portal.”

After saying this, he stared at Chen Fan motionlessly, as if he cared a lot about what Chen Fan would say next.

There was not much change in emotion on Chen Fan's face, he remained very calm.

"Why do you want to build a portal website?"

This time Han Zijun did not hesitate, as if he had thought about the answer many times in his mind.

"I think the domestic Internet is just beginning and is an undeveloped blue ocean."

"But no matter which aspect you start from, portal websites are inevitable, and I believe that among these domestic Internet companies, only the three major portals can become big and strong."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, playing with the teacup in his hand.

I can only say that Han Zijun's judgment is not wrong, but his vision is obviously limited by the current era.

There is no way to foresee what will happen to the domestic Internet in the next decade.

Chen Fan organized his words in his mind.

"There are already three major Internet portals in China."

Han Zijun is very confident, "If there are three, there will be a fourth one."

"In the future, with the rapid development of the Internet, the number of domestic Internet users will only increase. I believe that even if there is one more portal website, it is not impossible."

Chen Fan smiled.

"How are you going to survive the siege by the three major portal websites?"

Zhou Honghai's heart moved.

They also discussed this issue last night, but no one had much confidence at the time.

Han Zijun was silent for two seconds before he finally spoke word by word.

"I believe that everything depends on action."

Chen Fan smiled.

"I admire your adventurous and enterprising spirit, but..."

“I don’t recommend you get into portals.”

Han Zijun's expression froze.

"Why?"

“It’s very simple.”

Chen Fan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Because no matter how good your website is, it can’t be better than the three major portals.”

"You are doomed to fail in this attempt."
