Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate Chapter 205 : Feifan Technology

Chapter 205: Feifan Technology

After leaving the bank, Chen Fan gave Liang Shichu a call, arranging to et at the coffee shop they had last seen each other.

Chen Fan arrived to find that Liang Shichu had already gotten there before him.

As soon as they saw each other, Liang Shichu took out a stack of photos.

"What are these?"

Chen Fan curiously took them and saw they were of an office space undergoing renovation.

Liang Shichu seed a little embarrassed.

"These past few days I've been scoping out Yunhai and picked the 6th floor of a business office building as the office location for the new company."

"Everyone thinks the place is nice, so I went ahead and paid the rent for a year out of my own pocket."

Chen Fan laughed, "So eager? What if I'm a scamr and you just wasted your money?"

Liang Shichu still had that typical quiet tech geek deanor.

He adjusted his thick glasses with his index finger before speaking in a muffled voice.

"I don't think I'd misjudge soone."

"Besides, we're a bunch of broke guys, what could you possibly scam from ? You wouldn't go through all this just for a prank, would you?"

Chen Fan smiled and casually asked, "Where is this location?"

"The Jicheng Technology Building."

An image of Yunhai's map surfaced in Chen Fan's mind.

He was so familiar with Yunhai from his past life that he quickly located the Jicheng Building.

It was in the area where the east and west cities intersected, a zone that would be developed into a startup park in the future with many well-known companies setting up offices there.

A good location.

However, Chen Fan didn't reveal this, simply comnting with a smile, "The Jicheng Technology Building, fitting for us in the internet tech industry, not a bad on."

Liang Shichu felt a bit awkward, "Or...should I take you to see the site?"

He suddenly realized he had overlooked the most important point.

When choosing the location, he had forgotten to consult with Chen Fan, the behind-the-scenes boss.

Liang Shichu felt a bit apprehensive, but Chen Fan just waved his hand with a smile.

"Next ti, next ti I'll have the chance to visit in person."

Then he took out a bag from under the table.

"There's 500,000 yuan here. The first funds for you to start the company."

Liang Shichu froze, taking the heavy bag of 500,000 yuan, his eyes couldn't help flashing with excitent at seeing such a large amount of cash.

After all, not many people these days could pull out 500,000 yuan in cash just like that.

Chen Fan noticed Liang Shichu's reaction and was quite satisfied.

This was precisely why Chen Fan insisted on cash instead of a check.

Cash has more visual impact.

He wanted to make it clear to Liang Shichu that he was the boss, mysterious and unfathomable. That he was very capable, and offending him could bring great trouble.

Only by maintaining an aura of intimidation would Liang Shichu forever view him with reverent awe.

"You can deduct the rent for the building from this, and the rest can be the company's initial startup capital."

Liang Shichu seed excited, his gaze lingering reluctantly on the money before carefully placing the bag beside him.

"Boss, what should we na our company?"

Liang Shichu had decent emotional intelligence and took the initiative to establish their roles.

Chen Fan smiled, "I've said before, I'll only be involved behind the scenes, not in managent. This is your company, you make the calls."

Liang Shichu stared at Chen Fan for a mont before tentatively suggesting, "How about...Feifan Technology?"

Feifan Technology.

Obviously, this na was a deliberate attempt to flatter Chen Fan.

Chen Fan grinned, "Good na, sounds impressive."

Company na, location, these were just minor details. What really concerned Liang Shichu was the next question.

"So what will be our company's future R&D direction?"

Chen Fan pretended to ponder, "What do you think...about the antivirus field?"

"Antivirus?"

Liang Shichu frowned, seeming completely caught off guard by Chen Fan's abrupt suggestion of this direction.

Seeing his silence, Chen Fan smiled, "It's okay, just discussing casually, say whatever cos to mind."

Liang Shichu hesitated for a mont, carefully considering before speaking.

"Currently in the dostic antivirus market, it's basically been monopolized by big companies like Rising and Webroot. The remaining small market share has also been divided up among all the small antivirus software firms."

"If we try to enter the field now, aren't we a bit late?"

Liang Shichu's words were already quite tactful.

In fact, there was a lot more he didn't dare say. In his view, antivirus software wasn't sothing that could be developed overnight, the difficulty wasn't inferior to building a portal website.

If they painstakingly created one but couldn't gain market share, instead getting ganged up on by other companies, then this company would be dood.

Liang Shichu felt gloomy, wondering if he had misjudged things.

When Chen Fan had initially evaluated Old Han's portal website project, his comnts seed quite precise.

So why was he being so muddle-headed now when it ca to Liang Shichu?

Chen Fan could read Liang Shichu's thoughts from his expression.

Antivirus software was just his first move.

Naturally, he couldn't directly reveal his entire future plans to the other party.

He could only try to convince him from other angles.

"You don't think my entry point is a good one?"

Liang Shichu hesitated before nodding.

Chen Fan then asked, "Where do you think the difficulty lies in my proposal?"

Liang Shichu replied without hesitation, "The starting point is too high, the difficulty too great, and the market share is already close to saturation."

Liang Shichu stared at Chen Fan, hoping to make him reconsider his opinion.

"It's not so simple to snatch food from a pack of wolves."

But Chen Fan just smiled.

For the first ti in front of Liang Shichu, he revealed a confident smile.

"Then we'll just have to make ourselves into an even stronger, more formidable wolf."

Seeing Liang Shichu's confusion, Chen Fan smiled in explanation.

"As long as we keep making ourselves stronger, ensuring our products are powerful enough, we naturally won't fear our opponents' defamation."

Liang Shichu shook his head, that idea was too naive, it couldn't be that simple.

Chen Fan knew Liang Shichu didn't believe it. "Did you bring your laptop?"

As a tech geek, Liang Shichu almost never went anywhere without his laptop.

Looking perplexed, he set the laptop on the table and booted it up.

Chen Fan took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it over.

"Plug this in and try it."

With a puzzled expression, Liang Shichu plugged in the USB drive which only contained one compressed file.

After decompressing and opening a docunt to take a look, Liang Shichu's eyes instantly lit up.

"This..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a set of antivirus program code."

"And it's different from the code of common antivirus software on the market."

The more Liang Shichu read, the more excited he beca, unable to stop himself from looking up at Chen Fan.

"This...did you create this?"

Chen Fan smiled and shrugged.

"Just a little sothing I whipped up."

"But it's not yet complete, I've only done less than a fifth of it. The remaining four-fifths will likely need your efforts."

Chen Fan sat up straight and lowered his voice.

"I'm confident that if this antivirus program is completed, our product will lead the sa class of products on the market by at least two to three generations."

"Do you still think we'll fail?"

Liang Shichu's eyes flickered, clearly excited.

But as a rational tech guy, he controlled his emotions.

"Boss, if our product truly is two to three generations ahead, then we can rapidly gain market share. But...by then we'll probably face retaliation from our competitors."

Chen Fan seed unconcerned. "Since they're competitors, they're inherently rivals anyway. So we'll just compete with them and let the internet users make their choice."

Liang Shichu stared at Chen Fan. "If...I an what if one day, all the competitor companies unite to take us down?"

"What would we do then?"

Chen Fan smiled.

"At that point...I'll give you four words."

"Permanent free version!"
