Zhou Honghai ultimately did not agree to Chen Fan's invitation.
Of course, there was no direct rejection.
He just said euphemistically that since he had made an appointment with his old classmates, he had to meet and chat.
Chen Fan expressed his understanding and said with a smile that Zhou Honghai was welcome to contact him at any time and visit Chujian Internet Cafe.
In the evening, Zhou Honghai rushed to the Tingyulou Hotel in Yunhai City as agreed.
There were quite a few people at this party, seven or eight of them, all of whom were old classmates.
Among them, the one who has the best relationship with Zhou Honghai is Han Zijun, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses who looks very bookish.
When they were in college, the two of them were in the same dormitory and had the best relationship.
But later Zhou Honghai chose to graduate and work, while Han Zijun chose to continue his graduate studies.
Now that several years have passed, I can't help but sigh when I meet old friends.
"Hong Hai, why do you look so old?"
As soon as they met, several old classmates laughed and joked.
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't mention it."
"What's wrong, are you having a hard time?"
"I remember back then, didn't you work in a big factory right after graduation? Everyone was still envious of you at that time."
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly, "I resigned long ago."
Seeing his good friend embarrassed, Han Zijun changed the subject.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's talk while eating."
This meal was not very relaxing, and Zhou Honghai always felt a little disconnected from everyone.
Most of the people here are graduate students and have no experience in working in society.
When chatting, the tone and attitude inevitably carry strong self-confidence and longing for the future.
Zhou Honghai, on the other hand, was severely beaten by society a few years earlier than everyone else, resulting in him feeling a bit like a dwarf in front of a group of people.
Halfway through the meal, everyone finally got to the point.
Han Zijun actively mentioned starting a business after graduation.
"My mentor told me that although this year is a cold winter for the Internet and many Internet companies have collapsed, it is also an opportunity."
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. As long as we find the right entrepreneurial direction, we will have a place on the big ship of the Internet in the future."
Zhou Honghai couldn't help but ask: "Old Han, where do you plan to start a business?"
Han Zijun smiled bitterly, "There is no clear goal yet."
"Today, calling everyone to a gathering also allows everyone to come up with ideas and see if there are any good ideas."
Hearing this, Zhou Honghai was inevitably a little disappointed.
It turns out that these old classmates have held many creative meetings these days and have come up with a lot of entrepreneurial ideas.
But most of them were eliminated, and everyone was a little unsure about paying attention to the only few reliable ones.
It’s not that they are not optimistic about ideas, but if they want to start a business, they need start-up capital.
That would be a lot of money.
Han Zijun pondered: "To be honest, after thinking about it, I still think it is best to build a portal website."
Zhou Honghai was stunned, "Portal website? At present, the three major portals in the country have almost divided up all the users. I'm afraid it's a little late to enter the market now, right?"
An old classmate opposite smiled and said: "Look, Old Zhou can see that, Old Han, you are still too obsessed."
“Whether you can make a portal website is mostly a question.”
"Even if you spend a lot of money on promotion and eventually succeed in becoming bigger, do you think the three major portals will let you grow?"
"I can guarantee that the three of them will join forces to strangle you when the time comes."
Several students next to him nodded slightly. It was obvious that everyone agreed with this analysis.
"If you want me to see it, let's do advertising and promotion."
"I propose to do house rental..."
"There is already SouFun.com for house rentals. We cannot be our rivals..."
"None of us have funds. If we want to succeed in the simplest and most effective way, we must think of ideas that others have not thought of and strive to be a blockbuster."
Zhou Honghai nodded slightly, agreeing with this view.
I just want to find an idea that no one else has used, and I have to have a high probability of success. It’s not that easy to do.
Han Zijun suddenly spoke at this time.
"Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of something."
"I don't know if you are paying attention. Some time ago, I heard from a friend of mine in a big company that a mysterious person created a domain name trading network."
"Less than two months after it went online, it was acquired by Wanwang."
At this time, someone nodded excitedly.
"Ah, I've heard about this too."
"I heard that the founder of this domain name network is very mysterious. No one knows who he is until now?"
"Could it be some Internet tycoon?"
Han Zijun shook his head: "That's not what I care about. What I want to say is... do you know how much Wanwang spent to acquire Domain Name Network?"
A group of classmates were stunned, and someone said.
"I heard that the transaction was conducted privately, and neither party announced the transaction amount."
"It's just that Wanwang announced in the announcement that it successfully acquired Domain Name Network."
"Old Han, do you know the inside story?"
Han Zijun whispered: "I also got the inside story from my friend."
"It is said that the founder of Domain Name Network is very young and is still a student."
"hiss……"
Several classmates were instantly shocked.
"real or fake?"
"My classmate works in a major Internet company and has easy access to first-line insider information. There should be no mistakes."
"What about the transaction amount?"
Han Zijun glanced at everyone.
"It's rumored to be five million."
"How much...how much?"
The group of people were stunned.
"Five million? A forum that was founded less than two months ago can sell five million?"
"Damn, are you trying to steal money? Is Wan Wang stupid? Do you agree with this?"
"Old Zhang, I think you are stupid. Haven't you ever browsed Domain Name Network? As long as you have browsed Domain Name Network, you will know that this founder is definitely not simple."
Someone murmured with envy: "Brothers, what a shame."
"We have a bunch of real IT guys who haven't started a business yet, but they have already made five million in one month."
"What is the Internet sense of smell? This is the sense of smell..."
"MD! Five million. If I had five million, I would never want to work again in my life..."
Han Zijun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He originally wanted to remind everyone that creativity is the most valuable thing in Internet entrepreneurship.
As a result, everyone seemed to be attracted by the five million.
Glancing to the side, he saw Zhou Honghai clutching the cup, his face dull and motionless.
"Lao Zhou, are you okay?"
"ah?"
Bang.
Zhou Honghai's body trembled, the wine glass in his hand was knocked over, and the beer flowed all over the table.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, are you drunk too much?"
Some classmates laughed and joked.
Zhou Honghai ignored the wine stains on his body and casually patted the wet clothes with his hand.
Then he looked up at his good friend opposite.
"Old Han, what's the name of the website you just mentioned that was acquired?"
"Domain Name Network. A website that specializes in buying and selling domain names."
"Domain name network...domain name network..."
Zhou Honghai murmured to himself, why does it feel so familiar?
correct. What was the name of the website Chen Fan created in his store during the summer vacation?
It seems to be called Domain Name Network.
"hiss……"
Zhou Honghai suddenly stopped moving, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"No way?"
