Chen Fan met Zhou Honghai for the second time.
The location I chose this time is a teahouse opposite Yunhai University.
Moreover, this time they met alone and did not bring Su Ruochu with them.
Sitting in his seat, he glanced at the time and saw that there were still five minutes left until the time they agreed on.
Chen Fan was a little curious, what exactly did Zhou Honghai want to do with him?
Why did you not let Ruochu come over alone?
Is it because he wants to agree to his last condition and become the manager of Chujian Internet Cafe?
Just as I was thinking about it, someone came into the store.
"Old Zhou!"
Chen Fan raised his hand and waved.
Somewhat surprised to find that Zhou Honghai did not come alone.
Next to him was a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
This surprised Chen Fan.
I don't understand what the other person means.
"Sorry, you're not late, are you?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and apologized as soon as he came over, and his tone was obviously much more affectionate than when they met yesterday.
"No no."
Chen Fan motioned for the two of them to take their seats.
"any drinks?"
"whatever."
Chen Fan nodded and called the waiter over.
"Give us a pot of Dahongpao and some small desserts."
"Yes sir."
Zhou Honghai was 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 too polite……"
Seeing Chen Fan looking away, Zhou Honghai quickly smiled and spoke.
"By the way, let me introduce it to you."
"This is Han Zijun, my old college classmate and bedmate. Old Han, this is the Chen Fan I'm telling you."
As soon as he heard the other party's introduction, Chen Fan understood.
It turns out that the bookish-looking young man opposite him is the old classmate Zhou Honghai mentioned who was planning to start a business.
Looking Han Zijun up and down, he saw that the glasses were very thick, at least 800 degrees, and he had a big parting of his hair. He didn't know if it was for this meeting that he even wore a plaid shirt.
A typical technical geek.
While Chen Fan was sizing up the other person, Han Zijun was also sizing up Chen Fan.
too young.
Even if you have some mental expectations before coming here.
But when he saw Chen Fan, Han Zijun was still shocked.
At the same time, there was a burst of emotion.
After studying computer technology for so many years, I ended up not being as smart as a student who is not a computer major.
Chen Fan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, senior brother."
Han Zijun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
He secretly thought that this boy really had his way.
I knew that I was a graduate student at Yunhai University, so I just called me Senior Brother.
The distance between the two was instantly shortened.
Han Zijun smiled and stretched out his hand, "I have been famous for Senior Chen for a long time."
Seeing Chen Fan's confused face, Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly.
"I was having dinner with Lao Han last night. During the dinner, he mentioned a very popular news some time ago. Wanwang spent five million to acquire a website called Domain Name Network..."
Chen Fan's expression froze and he understood immediately.
I see.
During the summer vacation, I built a domain name network at Zhou Honghai's computer school. It was not kept secret at the time, and Zhou Honghai knew it.
It seems that these two people came to see him 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 the news at the time and casually told you about setting up a website at my place."
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't seem angry, Zhou Honghai asked tentatively.
"Chen Fan, won't it be your website that Wanwang acquired?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"That's right."
Zhou Honghai and Han Zijun looked at each other.
Although they had already expected it, when their suspicions were confirmed, the two of them were still unspeakably excited.
Chen Fan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
"I didn't plan to publicize this because I was still in school, so I wanted to keep a low profile."
Zhou Honghai immediately smiled and nodded.
"Understood. Don't worry, only Lao Han and I know about this, and we will never tell the third person."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Lao Zhou, you called me here today... just to confirm this, right?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly, "Of course not."
"Actually, Lao Han wants to meet you today."
Zhou Honghai explained briefly, and Chen Fan finally understood.
It turned out that this group of people wanted to start a business, but they still needed some start-up capital.
After learning that his website had just been sold for five million, Han Zijun decided to do it himself.
Chen Fan looked at Han Zijun.
To be honest, he was not disgusted with the other party's behavior.
On the contrary, there is some appreciation.
Ordinary people start a business without capital or background, so they 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 person.
So Chen Fan did not refuse directly, but asked with a smile.
"I don't know which industry my brother is planning to start a business in."
Han Zijun is very straightforward.
"I majored in computer science, so naturally I wanted to run an Internet company."
"Then what is Senior Brother planning to do?"
This time Han Zijun hesitated.
"I want to make a portal."
After saying that, he stared at Chen Fan motionless, seeming to care about Chen Fan's next words.
Chen Fan's face didn't show much emotion change, and he was still very calm.
"Why did Senior Brother want to build a portal?"
This time Han Zijun didn't hesitate. It seemed that he had thought about this answer many times in his mind.
"I feel that the domestic Internet has just begun and it is an unexplored blue ocean."
"But no matter where you start, portals cannot be avoided, and I believe that among domestic Internet companies, only the three major portals have the potential to become bigger and stronger."
Chen Fan nodded slightly and played with the teacup in his hand.
It can only be said that Han Zijun's judgment is not wrong, but his vision is obviously limited by the current era.
There was no expectation of what would happen to the domestic Internet in the next decade or two.
Chen Fan organized the words in his mind.
"But there are already three major portals on the domestic Internet."
Han Zijun is very confident, "If there are three companies, there may be a fourth one."
"And with the rapid development of the Internet in the future, the number of domestic Internet users will only increase. I believe that it is not impossible to add one more portal."
Chen Fan smiled.
"How are you going to survive the encirclement of the three major portals?"
Zhou Honghai's heart moved.
They also discussed this issue last night, but no one had much confidence at that time.
Han Zijun was silent for two seconds, and finally spoke word by word.
"I believe that it all depends on the people."
Chen Fan smiled.
"I appreciate Senior Brother's spirit of daring to take risks and make progress, but..."
"I'm not suggesting you join the portal."
Han Zijun's expression froze.
"Why?"
"The reason is simple."
Chen Fan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Because no matter how good your website is, it can't be better than the three major portals."
"This attempt... you are destined to fail."
