Chapter 8: You are witnessing the birth of a great company
In the underground garage of a residential complex near Beiqing.
Wang Ying covered her nose and frowned: "Didn't I invest 800,000 yuan in you? You just rent such a shabby place."
"Miss, it's a good news. Don't look at how old this place is. It has water, electricity and internet. It's enough for working in the early stage." Qin Hao moved a chair to Wang Ying.
"Besides, with the little money you have, I will make a full calculation and it will be enough to last until the end of the year. If you really think this place is too shabby, then invest another 1.8 million. I will immediately change the office building and I will make sure you get it right."
large and luxurious."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Qin Hao: "Come on, I'm still worried about investing 800,000 yuan. If you still invest, what do you want to do? Beat the local tyrants."
"Then you just have to endure it. In the early days of starting a business, keep everything simple. Besides, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon also worked in garages at the beginning. It will be a good subject for us to tell stories to investors when we raise funds in the future."
Faced with Qin Hao's self-deprecation, Wang Ying curled her lips and said, "You are quite good at telling stories, but you took away 800,000 from me with just a few pages of scrap paper."
After chatting and laughing, Wang Ying said seriously: "Are you really so optimistic about the online game industry?"
"Don't worry, Miss. Xiao Qianxi and I have spent more than half of our time in Internet cafes this month. We all know exactly what the customers in the Internet cafes are doing. If you don't believe it, you can just find some Internet cafes by yourself.
, look at what those online customers are doing, and you will understand why I am optimistic about online games."
While the two were talking, Xie Qiao, Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi all arrived.
Xu Lin also complained as soon as he walked in: "Old Qin, you are really stingy. You just took the eldest lady's investment of 800,000 yuan, and you are renting such a poor place."
"Isn't this very good? It won't be useless after cleaning it up. You have to save money in the early stage of starting a business." Xiao Qianxi smoothed things over for Qin Hao.
Xu Lin smacked his lips: "Now I'm starting to speak for him."
"No way, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing Xiao Qianxi's tendency to be impatient, Xie Qiao handed the broom in his hand to Xu Lin: "You are the one who talks a lot and I asked you to come here to do the work. Why are you here?"
"I'm not complaining for the eldest lady. Who is our eldest lady? If she is seen entering and leaving a place like this, her price will be greatly reduced."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Xu Lin: "Then I really have to thank you for thinking about me."
"That's right. Miss, why don't you go and stand outside for a while, I won't stain your clothes for a while."
"Come on, give me a rag."
"No, Miss, are you serious?"
"Nonsense, I am also one of the bosses of this project."
"Then if I treat the lady tonight, I won't charge it from the company's entertainment fee."
"I've never seen you so stingy."
Everyone laughed and joked for a while, and after cleaning up for a whole afternoon, they finally cleaned the garage. Then Qin Hao went to the flea market to bring over the second-hand desks and chairs that had been ordered in advance.
"Hey, don't tell me, it looks like that." Xu Lin wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi looked at each other and smiled. This kind of hands-on experience of building an office was something they had never had before.
Even Wang Ying no longer disliked it as before, but she still complained: "It's just okay."
Qin Hao washed his face: "Let's go, I've been tired all afternoon. Let's reward everyone with a good meal."
Xu Lin and Xie Qiao cheered.
As a result, Qin Hao added: "The eldest lady pays the bill, let's not be polite and eat whatever is expensive."
Wang Ying turned away angrily: "Don't even think about it. I gave you all my pocket money, and now my pocket is cleaner than yours."
"You have to pay for it, and you are not allowed to use company funds."
Qin Hao's helpless look made Xiao Qianxi and the others chuckle.
Just as the group was about to leave, Wang Ying suddenly received a call. She hung up the phone after saying a few words.
"Why don't you go first? I have a friend who wants to come over and have a look. Lao Qin, please stay here for a while and I'll introduce you to him. His family is in business and he has some resources in this area that might come in handy."
"Okay."
Qin Haogang was about to ask Xiao Qianxi to take Xie Qiao, and Xu Lin went there first, but Xu Lin proposed to go together.
"Without you two, I don't have the confidence to order."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes directly.
But Yang Cheng was still reliable. In about ten minutes, a red sports car parked at the door of the garage.
As soon as he got off the car, Yang Cheng couldn't help complaining to Wang Ying: "What kind of place are you looking for to start a business?"
Wang Ying crossed her arms and stared at Yang Cheng: "Why can't you start a business here? Bill Gates rented a garage when he started his business."
Well, this is just a matter of learning and applying it.
Yang Cheng walked around the garage again and shook his head: "Your mother said you invested 800,000 yuan to build such a crappy place. Could it be that you were deceived?"
These words made Xiao Qianxi extremely dissatisfied: "Without investigation, you have no right to speak. You don't know anything and what are you talking about?"
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin both looked at Xiao Qianxi in surprise. Normally, Xiao Qianxi was as docile as a kitten. He never argued with others. He tolerated things as much as he could and gave in as much as he could.
It's on.
Yang Cheng was still a little angry after being criticized, and was about to retaliate, but when he saw Xiao Qianxi's pretty face, his anger disappeared instantly.
"Hello, I am Wang Ying's childhood friend. My name is Yang Cheng, and I am also from Beiqing."
Xiao Qianxi ignored Yang Cheng's outstretched hand. The situation was very awkward for a time. In the end, Wang Ying patted Yang Cheng and said, "You've seen it too. Do you know what to say when you get back?"
"Don't worry, I understand. We grew up together. Can we still have this tacit understanding? I guarantee that Auntie can rest assured."
"That's pretty much it." Wang Ying nodded with satisfaction.
"This is Qin Hao, the person in charge of this project and a top student in the Computer Science Department of Beiqing. He developed and designed this Internet cafe management system."
Yang Cheng had no interest in Qin Hao, so he said hello casually and focused his attention on Xiao Qianxi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Hao has no interest in continuing to have a close relationship with this rich second generation who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, so he closes the garage door.
"Let's go, this weather is perfect for eating hot pot."
This proposal was unanimously supported by Xie Qiao and Xu Lin. It didn't matter what Wang Ying ate.
Yang Cheng said to Xiao Qianxi diligently: "Classmate Xiao, let me see you off."
"No need, your car is too expensive, I can't afford to pay for the scratches." Xiao Qianxi replied firmly, turned around and went around the sports car to catch up with Qin Hao.
Wang Ying fell to the back and glared at Yang Cheng: "You are really good. Do you know that the rabbit will not eat the grass beside the nest, so you have to attack the people around me, right?"
"This girl is my type, please give me her mobile phone number."
"Don't even think about it, I already have someone I like."
"Who? The one who cheated you of 800,000 yuan?"
When Wang Ying raised her foot, Yang Cheng immediately avoided her: "Why did you kick someone up?"
"What do you mean by cheating? I was investing, you know nothing." Wang Ying said angrily.
"It's just a shabby garage. You invested 800,000 yuan. It's not a lie."
"This is called using good steel on the edge of a knife. People spend their money steadily on expanding their business. Do you think they are like you and only know how to eat, drink and have fun?"
Yang Cheng sneered: "The most annoying thing is people talking about hard work and hard work. They always think that they can transcend classes by relying on their own abilities. If it is really that easy, there won't be so many dynasty changes in history."
"That has nothing to do with you. Anyway, remember your position and don't force me to fall out with you."
"Hey, no, you're going to fall out with me just because of such a crappy project."
Wang Ying paused and turned around to glare at Yang Cheng: "This is not a broken project. Remember, the company I invested in is called Haoran Technology."
........
At the same time, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin saw Xiao Qianxi's gloomy look and advised, "Forget it Qianxi, you can't mess with this kind of person."
"Yes, that Yang Cheng and the eldest lady are childhood friends. They should be in the same circle. It is normal for them to look down on our grassroots entrepreneurial project."
It was okay if they didn't say it, but when they did, Xiao Qianxi became even more angry.
"So what if he is a second-generation rich man? Everything he wears and the sports car he drives are all earned by his own ability. What right does he have to look down on Haoran Technology?"
"If he didn't have a good father, a worm like him would starve to death sooner or later. I hate this kind of arrogant guy who relies on the family's wealth and power. Don't let me see him again, otherwise I will
Scold one at a time.”
Xiao Qianxi's furious look made Xie Qiao and Xu Lin a little overwhelmed. Is this still the docile and pleasant Xiao Qianxi they knew?
Qin Hao walked in front, but he heard all the conversations between Xiao Qianxi and the three of them. He didn't care about Yang Cheng's arrogant attitude, but Yang Cheng had his mind set on Xiao Qianxi, and he would have to deal with this issue carefully when the time came.
He did the math.
The group came to a hot pot restaurant, and Wang Ying also arrived shortly after.
In mid-October, the temperature in Beijing has dropped to about 15 degrees, which is a good time to eat hot pot.
As soon as he sat down, Xu Lin couldn't help but order a bunch of meat.
Xie Qiao joked: "Xu Lin, aren't you from Inner Mongolia? Why are you not tired of eating meat?"
"Look at what you're saying, it seems like meat from Inner Mongolia is free. You think I'm a young lady and can't get tired of eating meat."
Wang Ying was used to Xu Lin calling her Miss, so she just snorted: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
While Xu Lin was ordering, Wang Ying said to Qin Hao: "Yang Cheng has been like this since he was a child. Don't be like him."
Qin Hao did not answer Wang Ying directly, but stood up and raised his glass: "First of all, thank you for your help. Today is the first day of the official establishment of Haoran Technology, and it is also a great starting point. You are witnessing a great company.
The company is born. In the near future, you will see the name of Haoran Technology on TV, newspapers, and the Internet. Don’t be surprised or doubt it. It is the small company that was born in the garage with your help today.”
Xiao Qianxi was the first to applaud. In her eyes, Qin Hao at this moment was so high-spirited and shining. In comparison, Yang Cheng, a rich second-generation man who reeked of copper, was simply unsightly.
Wang Ying's heart was originally immersed in a deep pool, but it also caused waves. She was born in a family where she was born. As a child, she was able to get everything she wanted. As time went by, she almost forgot that she wanted one thing in particular.
What a feeling.
Although in the eyes of the outside world, she wants to have everything she wants, but is this kind of arranged life really what she wants?
In fact, what really impressed Wang Ying and made her decide to invest was not how well Qin Hao's feasibility report was done, but that she wanted to use this investment to prove that she was not just a waste who only asked for money from her family.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were also excited by Qin Hao's words.
"Old Qin, you have to work hard. If Haoran Technology is on TV, I can brag to others that I was one of the founders of Haoran Technology."
"Haha, that's right. Whether Xie Qiao and I can brag about this in the future depends entirely on you."
Qin Hao waved his hand and said with great pride: "Don't worry, at least when school starts next year, you will definitely see the name of Haoran Technology in the media."
........
In the next two months, Qin Hao was busy recruiting soldiers and salesmen to promote in Hebei, while at the same time upgrading and testing the online point card recharge system of the Internet cafe management software.
During this period, in the words of his roommate Gao Feng, Qin Hao truly "avoided required courses and must avoid elective courses." He himself also registered with many teachers, and some teachers have already spoken out.
Yes, as long as he fails the final exam, he will receive 0 credits.
Qin Hao didn't care at all about this, and he still went his own way. Exams and other things were not too easy for him. Failing the exam? He really had never experienced what it felt like to fail the exam.
Just as busy as Qin Hao is Xiao Qianxi. However, except for a few elective courses where she skipped classes, Xiao Qianxi basically attended the required courses at full attendance. After all, she still had to get a full scholarship.
As for Wang Ying, she is basically a hands-off shopkeeper. Except for checking the accounts once at the end of each month, she rarely comes to the garage.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is approaching the end of 2001, and the first snow in Beijing arrives unexpectedly. In the past two months, Qin Hao's Internet cafe management software has also achieved his set goal, covering 63% of the Hebei area.
The coverage rate in key areas such as Beijing and Tianjin is an exaggerated 85% or more.
In dormitory 213, Xu Lin took off his gloves and hat after entering the room and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting cold really fast today. I was wearing a thin coat a few days ago, but now that I don't wear a down jacket, I feel like the wind is going into my spine."
Xie Qiao also entered the house wrapped in a thick down jacket and shook the snow off his hat.
"There's no way the weather in Beijing is like this. As soon as the cold air from the north comes, it freezes immediately."
While the two were talking, they unconsciously looked towards Xiao Qianxi's bed.
"By the way, Qianxi and Lao Qin should have arrived in the Magic City by now, right? It shouldn't be that cold in the south."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that in the south, there are all kinds of magic attacks in winter."
When Wang Ying heard this, her eyes unconsciously turned to the window, and her thoughts drifted away.
