According to Zhou Honghai, Han Zijun and his team probably have more than 100 people, and basically all of them are alumni.

The reason why I was willing to stay and start my own business was basically because of Han Zijun's influence.

The group had little capital to start a business, and the only startup capital was the several tens of thousands of yuan that Han Zijun scraped together from his family.

However, these people completely overlook how difficult it is to build a portal.

In less than five months, the team had already encountered various problems.

There is not much left of the two Wanhua, and the resulting website still faces various problems.

Most importantly, internal conflicts emerged during the team meeting.

Some people think that choosing a portal website was a wrong decision because they don’t have the financial resources to run a portal website.

And even if they manage to do it later, I'm afraid they won't have enough funds to promote it and compete with the big domestic portals.

Someone in the team suggested that while there is still some funding, we might as well switch gears immediately and research other projects.

Until this team survives.

But Han Zijun was a stubborn person. Not only did he veto the proposal, he also cut everyone's salary.

The real conflict broke out some time ago, when the team finally made a website prototype. During the meeting, someone mentioned that the website prototype had too many problems and needed to be tested internally again.

However, Han Zijun once again demonstrated his strength and rejected the proposal.

In order to make the project known as soon as possible and gain recognition and investment from investors, Han Zijun made the decision to force the website to go online.

The result was that the entire website ran into a mess, with numerous problems, and everyone was extremely worried.

At this point, the voices within the team that had been suppressed finally erupted completely.

At a recent company meeting, the conflict between the two sides could no longer be reconciled. Someone even slammed the table on the spot and proposed to resign from the team.

After listening to Zhou Honghai's introduction, Chen Fan felt a little emotional.

Facts have proven that it is very difficult to succeed just by relying on dreams and passion.

Chen Fan did not doubt the ability of this group of people. After all, those who could graduate from a famous university with a degree in computer science these days all had some experience.

However, we only rely on the friendship and enthusiasm of classmates to come together. Without funds and perfect company management experience, we are destined not to go far.

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Honghai opposite him.

Chen Fan said, "You told me this so that... you can get me to invest in you?"

Without waiting for Zhou Honghai to speak, Chen Fan shook his head.

"In fact, I made it very clear last time that I am not optimistic about your project. I will not let my money go to waste."

"Old Zhou, don't be angry when I tell you the truth."

"I know you have a very good relationship with Han Zijun. You are old classmates and old friends for many years. But from the last time I met and talked with 놛, I felt that 놛 was a bit stubborn, arrogant, and didn't listen to other people's opinions..."

Seeing Zhou Honghai open his mouth, Chen Fan raised his hand and continued: "Of course, I don't deny that you have strong personal abilities, but people like you are not suitable to be a leader. They are more suitable to be a pure computer professional."

"You know what I mean?"

Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly and nodded.

"You are quite right."

"But you misunderstood me. I didn't come to you this time to ask you to invest in us."

Chen Fan was a little surprised and looked over curiously.

Zhou Honghai took out a cigarette from his pocket and motioned to Chen Fan, who shook his head.

So Zhou Honghai lit one himself and took a puff before continuing to speak.

"During the meeting some time ago, our team conflicts were irreconcilable."

"The team is currently divided into two factions. One faction supports Han and is willing to continue working."

"The other group has given up and decided to withdraw."

Zhou Honghai introduced: "The leader of this group of people who are preparing to retire is called Liang Shichu. He is our schoolmate, but not from the same class. He is one year younger than us."

"This kid is also very capable and opinionated, so he often talks back to Old Han."

Chen Fan glanced at Zhou Honghai and asked, "You have a good relationship with 놛?"

Zhou Honghai shook his head: "No matter how good our relationship is, it's not as strong as the one I have with Lao Han."

"The reason I came to you is, first, we are all alumni, and I really can't bear to see these tech geeks get defeated like this, and second, I want to ask if you are interested in becoming our investor."

"Now Liang Shichu has made it clear that he will take some people out of the team. Either everyone will go their separate ways and find a company to work for, or they will raise funds to start their own business."

"Last time I saw you, you seemed quite interested in starting an Internet business, so I wanted to ask if you were interested."

Chen Fan's heart trembled slightly.

To be honest, I was somewhat moved by what Zhou Honghai said.

I found that it is indeed difficult for one person to research a project. If I can recruit these people into my team, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, Zhou Honghai explained it in detail. This group of people decided to "break up" because of their different philosophies, not because they lacked technical ability.

What a great opportunity.

It's like someone hands you a pillow as soon as you want to sleep.

Chen Fan was excited, but he didn't show it on his face.

Instead, he showed a rather helpless expression.

"As you can see, I'm very busy right now and I don't have much spare time."

Zhou Honghai smiled and said, "I'm just letting you know. Whether it will succeed or not depends entirely on your decision."

Chen Fan hesitated for two seconds.

"How about this, you help me contact this Liang Shichu, and I'll meet with him and have a chat."

"Whether I want to invest or not, I have to judge what kind of person he is."

Zhou Honghai smiled.

"That's no problem. I'll be in touch right away."

In front of Chen Fan, Zhou Honghai made a phone call, but after just a few words, his expression became awkward.

"What's up?"

"She said she was out of town, back home, and wouldn't be back for two days."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's okay. We can make another appointment when we come back."

Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is all my fault. I should have informed you in advance."

Chen Fan felt more relieved.

This actually proved that Zhou Honghai really approached me out of alumni loyalty, and he did not collude with the other party to defraud my investment.

…

Luo Wenjie was very efficient. He only took two days to look up all the information about Teacher Liu.

In the Starry Sky Internet Cafe office, Luo Wenjie handed a few sheets of paper to Chen Fan.

"Let's take a look, isn't it?"

Chen Fan glanced at the person in the photo and nodded.

"That's it."

Luo Wenjie chuckled.

"You know what, our teacher Liu is really a talented person."

Seeing that Chen Fan was puzzled, Luo Wenjie pointed at the papers in Chen Fan's hand and reminded him with a smile.

"Look back, there's a surprise..."
