In front of the mobile phone screen, I looked at the message sent by Cheng Yu, and I was dumbfounded. After a while, I called him, but he immediately hung up and sent me another message.

"No need to call, there's nothing to say, I don't want to talk now, it's like that, I'm afraid it will be worse if I open my mouth again. ”

I could feel his full of negative energy at this time through the screen, I sighed and typed back: "Well, then don't talk about it, there are still a few days before the New Year, and I will accompany you when I go home." ”

"I'm just waiting for you, when you come back, you have to accompany me to make up for all the wine that Lao Tzu owed in order to prepare for pregnancy. ”

"Yes, definitely!"

I put my phone down, lit a cigarette, smoked, and walked to the subway station. His feet were moving, but his mind didn't know where he was going. The reality may be so cruel, sometimes even if you have tried your best to save it, but it is still one step short, man, when you are poor, you can't come up with money, your dignity and face become worthless.

......

When I went to Lanxuan Four Seasons, I found that Qi Min's car was parked at the door of the hotel, it turned out that he had been waiting for me for a long time, and with this attitude, I knew that he must be serious this time.

"How long have you been?" I pulled the door open and went into the passenger seat.

"Ten minutes, if I knew that I would have driven directly to your house to pick you up, so I didn't have to wait here. He started the car and stepped on the accelerator, "Let's go! I've already found a venue, I'll keep my eyes open later, with my understanding of your urine, you'll definitely like this office environment!"

"Then we'll see. ”

More than 20 minutes later, we reached the destination, the road is a little traffic jam, which shows that the distance is also very close, look at the roadside signs, here is in the forest and west area, but also belongs to the CBD area, a look at the front of the building I feel that it is definitely not simple. Qi Min, this kid is looking for an office space with the attitude of "not bad money", how much does it cost to rent an office in this place for a month?

The location of the company is on the 22nd floor of the building in front of me, and as soon as I went up there and opened the door, I was dumbfounded, this is ...... It is estimated that it is about 200 square meters! If you count the shared area, there are 300 square meters!

"How's it going, it's domineering enough!" Qi Min said with an arrogant expression.

I looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you sure you want to build such a big office space?

"Do you think our startups can be compared with other people's startups?"

"How much is the rent?"

"It's not much, it's only 100,000. He said indifferently, took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but remembered that this was a public office area, and a formal office building like this clearly stated that smoking could not be smoked indoors, so he had to give up.

100,000 a month...... If you want to change to another startup, the kind of grassroots entrepreneurship, you won't consider it at all. I looked at the lavishly decorated office, and the more I went inside, the more surprised I became. Walking to the innermost president's office, we all stopped, Qi Min looked outside the door, made sure that no one followed, and then opened the window in the office, took out two cigarettes, handed one to me, and lit it himself.

He took a puff on his cigarette, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, "Well, don't think about it so much, we have rented this office." ”

I was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, since you are sure, then rent, there is another matter, I didn't use the 100,000 yuan you borrowed from me, but I don't plan to pay it back to you now, just use it as my side of the contribution, I can't not give no money at all, this 100,000 yuan is still counted as I borrowed from you." ”

Qi Min grasped the "point" of my words very well, and asked with a strange expression: "It's useless? What do you mean, didn't you say that you want to take it and deal with something very important?"

"I'll leave that at that, I'll tell you later. I skipped the topic, paused and asked, "By the way, have you got the name of the company and the BP (business plan)?"

Qi Min touched his chin and said, "BP is still a little close, as for the name, it's up to you to think about it, it's time to show the level of your literary youth." ”

I walked to the window, took a puff of smoke and puffed out the window, looking at the clouds on the horizon that were dyed golden by the bright sun, and the other clouds that were not illuminated by the sun became a foil, with the blue sky as the background, isn't that the color of "dream"? Yes, the word "utopia" stuck in my head!

"Let's call it 'utopia'! Inspired by the clouds in the sky, you see, how free they are, but for us in modern society, the word 'freedom' looks like a rule, and everything we yearn for is called 'utopia'. I said, pointing my finger to the horizon.

Qi Min whispered the word "utopia", and finally nodded and said, "Okay, this name is good, then it's decided, I'll let people go through the registration process and purchase office supplies at the same time, so that it can be done within a week." ”

I also nodded and said, "Go out and find a place to sit and talk, I want to see how your BP is doing." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take you to meet a few friends first, and then it's not too late to talk to you about BP. ”

It seems that he has other arrangements. Qi Min and I have known each other for more than five years, it can be said that this is the most serious time I have ever seen him do things, the utopia project looks like it has really been prepared for a long time, just like he said, "everything is ready, only my 'east wind'" to blow over, and I, my heart is also full of expectations, after more than two years, I once again embarked on the road of no return to "entrepreneurship"! However, this time it is different from the entrepreneurship in college, this time it is a real job, 200 square meters and office equipment, and the next employees to recruit, these are all la-la-la-la-la-la!

After leaving the office building, Qi Min took me to meet friends who are currently doing Internet celebrities, live broadcasts, short videos, etc., these people's companies are currently developing very well, but when they learned that Qi Min was going to enter these fields, those people all had a flash of fear in their expressions, because Qi Min's back represents the Qi Group, once this behemoth enters a certain field, it is not a joke.

At seven o'clock in the evening, we finally finished tossing, and our stomachs were already hungry, but fortunately, Qi Min took me back to Lanxuan Four Seasons, and asked the people in the hotel to arrange dinner in advance, and we could talk about BP while eating as soon as we went back.

During the meal, it was basically Qi Min who was talking, and while I was eating, I listened to him and conceived my own thoughts by the way.

"Cheng Ting, Internet celebrities and live broadcasts, as well as short videos, I have made up my mind, but the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain are selective, my idea is: Internet celebrities first find some people with fans in the range of 20-3 million fans, and the price of these people will not be too high, and then slowly build a training system to go up, and the live broadcast can consider first selecting some good products from my company to bring goods, and then find customers first. As for short videos, there's nothing to think about, just do it. ”

I glanced at him and said sarcastically, "The price of signing a contract is high? Hey, it's really strange, it turns out that you still know how to save money!"

"You can spend the money that should be spent, but you still have to save the money that should be saved, who doesn't have hard-earned money, right?" he took a sip of wine, and then said, "Hey, don't you bother eating, are you so hungry?" ”

"We have time to think about these strategic things, but well, the brothers are all settled, since we have chosen to cooperate, then we have to talk about the shares. I put down my chopsticks and looked at Qi Min with a serious expression.

"Hey, I thought you were talking about something, it turned out to be this, I had already thought about it, I accounted for 50%, you 25%, and the remaining 25% was used for other shareholders in the future. Why, that's interesting enough, right? It's basically, I'm the majority shareholder, you're the second largest shareholder. ”

I thought about it, if Qi Min hadn't pulled me down, where would I get 25% of the shares, not to mention that I didn't have any funds, so this can already be said to be pie in the sky.

"That's enough, that's enough, then it's decided!" I gave him a thumbs up gesture, and then urged: "Hey, let's talk later, I feel aggrieved for your stomach, aren't you hungry?" ”

"Okay, okay, eat first. ”

.......

We are indeed eating and chatting, as if depicting a blueprint for the future dream to fly, beautiful is very beautiful, but maybe it is the reason for drinking, so we are so floating, but there is no way to talk about a result, too scattered, so we decided to go directly to the company the day after tomorrow to talk, at that time the company's office equipment was basically purchased, and you can also use these two days to think about their ideas.

On the way home at night, I walked through the bustling streets, and suddenly I couldn't help but sigh: at this time, Cheng Yu in another city may still be distressed and sad about the lost love, but in this city, I am full of infinite longing for the future. Some people are happy and some are worried, but isn't this how this world swaps roles from time to time?
