Chapter 232 Investing in People
The time at the end of the term went by a bit uneventfully.
Except for those who are fearless and have no pursuit of results, most people are devoted to intense review and preparation for exams.
Chen Zhihe is neither the former nor the latter.
He no longer attaches so much importance to grades. As long as his grades are not too outrageous, based on his grades in his freshman and sophomore years, he will have no problem staying in postgraduate studies.
He just studies as a habit, and occasionally thinks about what to do in the future, such as the next development of Baike Company, investing in Liu Chengan, etc.
Days like this passed so quickly, no one even mentioned Christmas anymore.
In a blink of an eye, 2011 is over, and 2012 has quietly arrived.
If she hadn't mentioned it when he was on the phone with Ruan Mi, Chen Zhihe would have almost forgotten that it was already 2012.
After taking the last course, Chen Zhihe's junior year was over.
Because he promised Liu Cheng'an to get together in Jiangcheng, and it was still early for the company's holiday, Chen Zhihe did not take the winter vacation like everyone else at the first time.
After everyone in the dormitory went home, Chen Zhihe moved back to the Normal University.
The weather in Jiangcheng was really too cold. Except for being unable to resist Lei Jun's repeated urging, Chen Zhihe went to the company's new office several times. He almost stayed at home the rest of the time.
Fortunately, Liu Chengan went on vacation relatively early, so Chen Zhihe didn't have to wait too long. Within a week of Chen Zhihe's vacation, Liu Chengan's call came.
"You're on vacation, haven't you?" Liu Cheng'an called Chen Zhihe as soon as he got off the train.
Chen Zhihe was in the study thinking about how to use the remaining nearly 6 million yuan. When he saw Liu Chengan's phone call, he thought that Cao Cao was about to arrive.
"Here, isn't this waiting for you?" Chen Zhihe said with a smile.
"Where do you live? Are you looking for me or am I looking for you?" Liu Chengan asked.
Chen Zhihe thought for a while and said, "I'll look for you. Your home hasn't changed, right?"
Liu Cheng'an said: "Haha, the price has increased so fast. Wherever we move, we will still be in the same place."
Chen Zhihe smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can move it anytime later. You tell me a time and I will go find you."
Liu Chengan laughed and said, "Then I am so honored that a billionaire condescended to come to me."
Hearing this, Chen Zhihe was not surprised. He estimated that Liu Chengan had been paying attention to the company's financing situation, and it was not unusual to know that 1,000 was the case.
An appointment was made to meet at noon the next day. After Chen Zhihe put down the phone, he was somewhat looking forward to meeting Liu Chengan, but he didn't know how their things were done.
It was only the beginning of 2012. Chen Zhihe searched the Internet and found that Byte had not yet been established. However, relying on his previous memories, he knew that he did not have much time left for him.
What Chen Zhihe didn’t know was that if history had not changed, Byte would have been established in March.
The only thing Chen Zhihe knew was that Zhang Yiming’s entrepreneurial journey was very bumpy. In the first few years after Toutiao.com was launched, although it developed rapidly, it was troubled and copyright lawsuits occurred from time to time.
During his years as a lawyer in Shanghai, Chen Zhihe also heard stories about how Byte often failed to raise funds at the beginning.
Now that I have the starting advantage and the ability to predict, I might be able to compete with the opponent.
However, Chen Zhihe had not yet decided whether to go it alone or cooperate with both parties. He thought he would first see how Liu Chengan's products were doing and whether they were as competitive as he imagined.
The next day, the weather was rare and sunny, with clear blue sky.
Near noon, when the weather was the warmest, Chen Zhihe went out.
Driving to the downstairs of Liu Chengan's house, Chen Zhihe called him.
After a while, Liu Chengan went downstairs.
Liu Chengan looked around but did not see Chen Zhihe. When he was confused, he heard a whistle, coming from a car not far away.
The weather was so cold that Chen Zhihe really didn't want to get out of the car. The sun couldn't even get out of the car in this location, so he would suffer if he went out.
Rolling down the window, Chen Zhihe shouted out: "Here."
Liu Chengan was stunned for a moment, then trotted over with a smile.
Without being polite, he opened the passenger door and Liu Chengan got directly into the passenger seat.
While wearing his seat belt and looking at Chen Zhihe, Liu Chengan joked: "These successful people are just different."
Chen Zhihe smiled and said: "You call a successful person a car worth more than 100,000 yuan?"
Liu Chengan shook his head and said: "Bill Gai rides a bicycle, and no one thinks he is not a successful person."
Chen Zhihe shook his head and said with a smile: "You think highly of me."
Liu Chengan said seriously: "I felt that you were an extraordinary person from the beginning."
Chen Zhihe joked: "What's so unusual about it?"
Liu Cheng'an recalled it for a moment, then clicked his tongue and said: "It's hard to say what it is, but most people can't do what you did anyway."
This incident has become a classic material for Liu Cheng'an to tell stories to others. Every time he tells it to others, everyone doesn't believe it and thinks he is being modest.
Liu Cheng'an didn't bother to explain. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't believe it. He just graduated from high school. Who would dare to believe it?
And recently, he told the story of Chen Zhihe's successful financing. At first, everyone didn't believe it, but they didn't believe it until he showed the news to others.
When they learned that the protagonists of the two incidents were the same person, the others realized that Liu Chengan had not deceived them. The Jiangsu student he mentioned was indeed extraordinary.
Regarding Chen Zhihe, even Yan University students who have high eyesight cannot help but admire him.
Therefore, when Liu Chengan told several members of the team that Chen Zhihe was interested in their project, the other members of the team were relatively happy.
Whether or not you can attract investment is one thing. Being recognized by such people is what they care about.
Just when Liu Cheng'an was distracted, Chen Zhihe said with a smile: "Let go of the flattery now and see your results later. If I don't like it, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
After hearing this, Liu Chengan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm not exaggerating at all. Besides, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. In addition to looking for you to invest this time, I will do more
I want to find you to learn from my experience and help us clarify our thoughts."
Chen Zhihe squinted his eyes and glanced at Liu Chengan, and joked: "These Yan University students are just different. They speak better than ordinary people."
Liu Cheng'an shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with whether I am from Yanda University. As long as you succeed, you will be surrounded by people who speak well."
Chen Zhihe was stunned for a moment. Yan Da was very capable. Among other things, the growth visible to the naked eye on Liu Chengan was proof of this.
With a chuckle, Chen Zhihe said: "That's a good statement."
As he drove, he became more and more interested in Liu Chengan's project.
It is said that investing is actually investing in people. In Liu Chengan, Chen Zhihe did not see a trace of the rigidity and dullness of a technical man, but instead saw maturity and adaptability.
Now, rather than being interested in the project, he is more interested in Liu Chengan as a person.
Even if the project fails, Liu Chengan is worth investing in.
