The next day, Chen Fan came to the studio with Luo Wenjie as promised.

In the office, Zhou Honghai was a little nervous.

He glanced secretly at Luo Wenjie, hoping to get some help from this guy.

As a result, Luo Wenjie was staring at the painting on the wall with admiration, as if he could see the flowers.

Zhou Honghai was speechless.

It seems this guy can't be relied on.

"Why didn't you call in advance? I haven't made any preparations."

"Look at this... all the tea has been drunk. Should I ask someone to buy a box?"

Chen Fan smiled and raised his hand: "It's okay, Old Zhou. We are all family, there's no need to be so polite."

"You sit down too. I came here just to talk."

Zhou Honghai then came over and sat down, then he picked up a cigarette from the box beside him and passed it to him.

Chen Fan took a look at it, reached out to take it, but did not light it. Instead, he held it in his hand and played with it gently.

"Actually, I came here today because I wanted to talk to you two about something."

The first sentence made Zhou Honghai instantly nervous. He glanced at Luo Wenjie secretly, only to find that Luo Wenjie also looked curious and surprised.

What does that mean? Doesn't he know either?

"I heard from Brother Jie that you two are finally planning to open a private server, right?"

Zhou Honghai's expression changed and he glared at Luo Wenjie fiercely.

This bastard, how could he make things so complicated so quickly?

Luo Wenjie is a bachelor, and he shrugged with a smile.

"This matter should be let Lao Chen know. Besides, it is not hidden."

Zhou Honghai immediately said with a smile: "Actually... this is also the result of our discussion. As for whether we are ready to do it, we haven't made up our minds yet..."

Chen Fan raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Honghai.

"Lao Zhou, since there are no outsiders here, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"I suggested it to you before, but since you two have made the decision, I also have your blessing."

"Of course, it might be difficult for just the two of you to run a private server. You'll need funds to purchase the source code..."

Chen Fan glanced at the two of them and said, "I came here today just to say something to you two."

"From now on, you don't need to share the profits from this studio with me. You two can each take half, 50% each."

Whoosh.

Luo Wenjie and Zhou Honghai both sat up straight.

"What do you mean? Old Chen, are you backing off?"

Luo Wenjie was a little excited: "How can this be possible? You used your money to open this studio. How can I let you back out?"

"If you really don't want us to play private servers, then we won't do it..."

Looking at the excited Luo Wenjie, Chen Fan smiled and waved his hands.

"Brother Jie, it's not what you think."

"Would you please sit down and listen to me?"

Luo Wenjie then sat down again, but his expression was not very good.

Chen Fan glanced at the two of them and continued speaking with a smile.

“When I first started this plug-in studio, I actually had no interest in it.”

"Because you two are not satisfied with the current situation and want to make more money, I will go with the flow and give you some money to help you build a studio."

"During this period, you two have been managing the studio, and I've basically been a hands-off manager."

"To be honest, I have basically earned back the money I invested, so I won't suffer a loss if I withdraw now."

Chen Fan looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "After I retire, the studio will be completely managed by you two, which will also be convenient for you to continue the work."

"To be honest, I have too many things on my hands right now, and I really don't have more energy to manage this studio."

"In that case, I think I might as well do you a favor. Look, you two still think well of me, right?"

Zhou Honghai looked a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Chen, this... we really don't mean to let you leave..."

Chen Fan raised his hand to interrupt the other party, "Let's not talk about this. This matter is settled like this."

"Starting from this month, the studio doesn't need to give me any more money."

"As for the money from last month, it hasn't been divided yet, and you haven't given it to me yet. Just think of it as me investing for you two as a friend."

After saying this, Chen Fan stood up with a smile.

"Okay. I've said what I need to say. I'll take my leave now. I have a lot of things to do over there."

Zhou Honghai was a little annoyed.

"You have to have a meal before you leave..."

Chen Fan smiled, "There's no need to do this since we three have a good relationship. We'll have time after dinner."

"Okay. Go ahead and get busy."

"I wish you two great fortune in the future."

Chen Fan said goodbye and left, and Luo Wenjie followed him all the way to the studio.

"Mr. Chen, are you really planning to quit?"

Luo Wenjie looked a little unnatural, "I originally planned to let you participate, but you..."

Chen Fan looked at Luo Wenjie, "Okay. Now that we've decided, don't think too much about it. Just do it."

Luo Wenjie hesitated for a moment, but still asked seriously.

"Do you really think that running a private server is very risky?"

Chen Fan did not answer directly, but hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Brother Jie, I'm telling you this once."

"It is true that running a private server is very profitable and very lucrative. But at the same time, it is something that is on the edge of the law. I have told you this before."

"As a brother, I am giving you one last reminder."

"You say."

Chen Fan looked at Luo Wenjie and warned him, "Remember, when you two start private servers, don't think about fame and making a lot of money. In this industry, you don't have to be the boss or the second in command. It's enough to be the third or fourth in command without being conspicuous."

"Making money quietly is the way to go."

Luo Wenjie nodded vigorously.

"Remember this."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Let's all work hard together."

"Let's go."

Watching Chen Fan leave, Luo Wenjie sighed with some regret.

From now on, it means that he is no longer a member of Chen Fan's group.

Instead, they start their own business independently.

In a sense, he is an entrepreneur on an equal footing with Chen Fan.

Logically speaking, this is something Luo Wenjie has secretly thought about several times.

But today Chen Fan chose to cut ties with the studio so decisively, but Luo Wenjie was not happy, and instead felt a little disappointed.

…

After withdrawing from the studio, Chen Fan had not paid any attention to this matter.

He now devotes all his energy to the club and the research and development of extraordinary technology security guards.

However, Luo Wenjie did mention it to him privately, saying that Zhou Honghai bought the source code of "Legend" from somewhere, and the studio has begun working overtime to develop a private server.

Chen Fan asked how much it cost to buy the source code. Luo Wenjie said proudly that he bargained with others and finally bought the legendary source code for only 15,000 yuan.

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought that since you guys were able to buy the source code, it proved that they couldn't just sell it to you two, they must have cast a wide net and sold it to other studios as well.

This price is clearly a rip off.

However, Chen Fan did not tell the truth, he just congratulated him with a smile.

Then Luo Wenjie complained gloomily that after buying the source code, the studio began to develop a private game server, but found that it was more difficult than expected and too expensive.

He used to be a lavish spendthrift. Since he started hanging out with Chen Fan, he had saved less than 50,000 yuan in total, all of which he had invested.

It turned out to be totally insufficient, so Zhou Honghai took 80,000 yuan and invested it all.

In order to get half of the shares with Zhou Honghai, Luo Wenjie gritted his teeth and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from his family.

Hearing this, Chen Fan frowned.

"Would you like me to lend you some first?"

Luo Wenjie shook his head. "No. The income from the plug-in this month will come soon. Thanks to the money you didn't pay last month, it can temporarily solve the urgent problem."

"Plug-in revenue is increasing month by month now. We have calculated that the funding problem can basically be solved."

Hearing this, Chen Fan could nod his head.

"Then I wish you both a happy marriage."

"If you have any difficulties later, remember to contact me at any time."

Luo Wenjie laughed and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will find you."

"Who told you that you can make more money than me?"

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You are relying on me.
