The atmosphere was a bit silent.

Zhou Honghai looked a little embarrassed.

I didn't expect Chen Fan to be so direct and point out that the other party would fail right from the start.

There is no room for tact.

Looking at his old classmate again, Zhou Honghai felt a little worried.

Because 놛 knows this brother's character very well. Although 놛 looks honest and simple, he is actually very stubborn and the type who will not turn back until he hits a wall once he sets his mind to something.

Sure enough, Han Zijun shook his head slowly after being silent for a while.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot accept your judgment."

"What makes you say I will fail?"

"Could it be that the three major families came into being through sheer transformation?"

"We have grown to where we are today, and I believe we can do the same."

Chen Fan smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and spoke slowly.

"I believe you will fail for three reasons."

“First, you missed the best opportunity.”

"The best window for portal websites to start businesses has passed. Now the domestic market has been divided up by Xinlang, Wangyi and Sohu."

"They are three major players, dividing up all the users. It is impossible for them to allow a fourth player to enter and grab the market."

“Second, to build a portal, you need a lot of money and technical personnel.”

"You can see this by looking at the number of employees at the three major portals."

"Okay, even if we ignore these factors, let's assume that your website is created and successfully promoted."

"Third, I'm sure the three major portals will join forces to strangle you. They won't allow another competitor of the same type to appear in the market."

"I still say that the three major portals have already established their position. It will be very difficult for you to seize the market from them!"

Han Zijun was silent, looking down at the teacup on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Honghai was worried that his old friend might be attacked, so he quickly smiled and spoke to ease the embarrassment.

"Han, don't think too much about it. We are discussing this now, and everyone can express their opinions."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Yes. This is just my personal opinion. It's possible that I am wrong."

Han Zijun suddenly looked up.

"So...are you interested in investing?"

Chen Fan was silent for two seconds and shook his head slowly.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

"If it's a project that interests me, I will invest."

"But you want to build a portal website, and I don't see any prospects... So, I'm sorry."

Han Zijun smiled.

"It doesn't matter. I came here just to give it a try."

"Although I didn't get any investment, at least I got to meet the legendary Internet genius. Your reputation among those Internet giants is not weak at all."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Please keep this a secret for me, I want to finish my four years of college quietly."

Han Zijun laughed.

"Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret."

"Everyone will be in Yunhai in the future. Even if I graduate this year, I will still start a business in Yunhai. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Chen Fan nodded.

"must."

Chen Fan knew that the other party was not convinced by him, so he decided to give the portal website a try.

I sighed in my heart and felt a little emotional at the same time.

As expected, technicians are all very proud and won't be easily swayed by a few words.

The three of them drank two pots of tea in total, and Chen Fan took the initiative to pay the bill when they left.

Behind the door, Han Zijun shook hands with Chen Fan.

"Although I failed to attract investment, I was able to meet fellow student Chen, so this trip was not in vain."

"Keep in touch later."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

"I will need to rely on my senior brother for advice in Yunhai in the future."

"Haha, no problem."

Watching Han Zijun leave, Chen Fan was a little surprised that Zhou Honghai didn't go with him.

Zhou Honghai smiled awkwardly.

"I'm sorry for bringing Han here without asking for your opinion in advance."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, "I actually really like communicating with technical talents like Senior Han."

"Don't mind it, that's just the way he is."

"Although he is stubborn, he has strong skills. The program he made when he was in school even won a big award."

Seeing that Chen Fan really had no intention of blaming him, Zhou Honghai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you take a walk together?"

Chen Fan basically guessed Zhou Honghai's idea, so he took the initiative to invite him.

"OK."

Because this place is still some distance away from the university town, Chen Fan directly led the other party to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe on this street.

"What do you think of Han's entrepreneurial project?"

Chen Fan suddenly asked this question. Zhou Honghai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't think it's a good idea. To be honest, I tried to persuade you last night, but you still insisted on your idea."

"Have you decided to start a business with Brother Han?"

"this……"

Zhou Honghai hesitated for a moment.

"I haven't decided yet. I told Han that I'm thinking about it."

Chen Fan understood.

Zhou Honghai was not optimistic about the other party's project, so he was reluctant to waste time in this team.

The two of them came to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe together.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Honghai was stunned.

He looked around the overly luxuriously decorated hall with curious eyes.

"This...is this an Internet cafe?"

Everything in front of me completely overturned my definition of an Internet cafe.

This environment is better than some KTVs.

Chen Fan smiled, led the other party to the second floor, stood in the corridor and looked at the entire hall.

Zhou Honghai read for most of the time, and after being shocked, he turned his head to look at Chen Fan curiously.

“Could it be that this store…”

Chen Fan nodded.

"Yes. This internet cafe is the first store I opened."

Zhou Honghai was stunned.

"Didn't you say that in the university town..."

“That was my second store.”

Chen Fan smiled.

"The store in University City is even bigger than this one and has more machines."

"Brother Honghai, you can see that these are the two stores I currently have open."

"This store already has a manager, but the Chujian Internet Cafe in University Town has not yet found a manager."

"How's that? Are you interested?"

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Chen Fan added another sentence.

"If you are willing to come, I will offer you a monthly salary of NT$3,000 plus five insurances and one housing fund."

Zhou Honghai stared at Chen Fan for two seconds and suddenly took a deep breath.

"I have decided to accept your invitation."

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Are you not joining Senior Han's entrepreneurial team?"

Zhou Honghai shook his head.

"I am not optimistic about your entrepreneurial project."

Chen Fan smiled.

"So you think so highly of me?"

Zhou Honghai was unusually serious.

"Just because you went from having nothing to selling a website for 5 million in three months and opened two promising internet cafes, I trust you."

"I hope I can learn something from following you."

Chen Fan took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Welcome to join us."

Zhou Honghai smiled and stretched out his hand.

"You have to call the boss after that."

"Boss, please give me your guidance."
