On the first day of work after the holiday, Lin Zitan held a meeting with Xiao Cheng and them to discuss the problems left over from the previous year, and make plans for the new year.

Xiao Cheng made a proposal, their web development department, in addition to the company's website, developed and produced a total of more than a dozen apps, three of which are for their own websites and magazines, and five are about children's education.

Other mobile games under development are aimed at young people's favorites, and at least five of these apps are profitable, with only the most expensive mobile games still in production.

But they are confident that once the mobile game app is launched, it will be a million profits, and the profit will definitely exceed the sum of all others.

Based on these considerations and the future development trend of the network development department, Xiao Cheng is confident that he can complete the development of the mobile game within one year and achieve full self-sufficiency within two years, reaching the level of self-financing.

"My goal is also to grow independently as a technology company and eventually go public!" Xiao Cheng concluded.

"Listing is not an easy thing, independent operation is self-financing, this is probably not difficult, but the development of a company in addition to production and development, but also inseparable from professional packaging and promotion, if you are independent, Chu Feng and their resources, you will not enjoy free promotion!"

After listening to Xiao Cheng, Andrew always felt that Xiao Cheng was too simple and optimistic about things, and a little blindly confident. After all, Andrew is the person who is most familiar with the operating costs and the company's cooperation model, and every step of the process inevitably requires the cooperation of all departments.

Whether it's Easyrent or now Apartment, he followed Jimmy step by step to push them up, from preparing to go public to ringing the bell on the NASDAQ, and it took a lot of setbacks to achieve it.

Now Xiao Cheng only seems to see that software development has made money, but he forgets that their success is inseparable from the company's spending a lot of money on promotion.

In order to avoid Xiao Cheng's blind optimism not only killing himself, but also potentially harming the development process of the entire company, Andrew couldn't help but remind after thinking about it for a few days during this vacation.

"So they are independent, and my side is also independent, when the time comes, if any unit needs to find us to promote, give us the unit money, and then we will take some foreign orders, and beat the reputation of our advertising company, maybe we can also make a lot of money!" Chu Feng was very motivated.

"This is also the reason why I pulled Chu Feng out as soon as I heard my senior brother mention it, we are all now cooperating for a win-win situation, but there is always some suspicion of uneven division of labor, after each unit is independent, economic cooperation may produce greater benefits!" Lin Zitan said with a smile after listening to their discussion.

"Uh... I agree with Daniel's idea!" Xiao Cheng has been preparing this proposal for the past few days during the holidays, so even though Andrew pointed out his sore feet, he still felt a little bit stubborn to continue on it.

"It's still the same sentence, prepare more, hold more meetings, brainstorm and discuss a few times, and finally determine a direction, the route is set, let's work together to achieve the goal......" Lin Zi said unhurriedly, not in a hurry at all.

After the meeting ended, Xiao Cheng continued to improve his plan, and Chu Feng also began to gear up, ready to do a big job.

"Is this really good?" said Andrew, looking at Lin Zitan with a sad face.

"At least let everyone have a sense of enthusiasm and crisis! Let them prepare slowly! After all, we can't eat a big pot of rice all the time.

And the apartment has already gone out independently, and they are also excited to look at it, and they have been restless for a long time, anyway, sooner or later, there will be this day!" Lin Zitan said with a smile and patted Andrew's shoulder.

If you want to talk about the contribution to this network company, Xiao Cheng is of course the first hero, from taking the lead to lobbying everyone to invest, he has finally made some achievements after so many years, and his shares are not the most.

But as Andrew said, in fact, Chu Feng is just more easy-going, but he is definitely resolute in doing things, and the reason why he looks the most relaxed is because he does have two brushes in terms of advertising design and website promotion.

From Easyrent's obscurity to the last advertisements, these are all Chu Feng's credits, including the current "New York Life" magazine, a person who has never done a magazine at all, and after getting started, he also made this weekly a smooth sail.

Originally, the magazine was distributed for free, but the advertising fee on the magazine alone supported their entire department, not to mention the profitability of the website and client.

A successful entrepreneur cannot only rely on his own hard work, the most important thing is to rely on resources, contacts and talents.

Lin Zitan thinks that he has no talent in Internet technology at all, he is also a person who can browse the web and look at the stock market, and the specific operation is of course Xiao Cheng and Andrew, who are the best.

But the premise is that he is rich, and if he is rich, he is the boss, even if Xiao Cheng has a little capital now, but compared with the entire company, compared with Lin Zitan's business empire, it is only a small piece.

Even if the network development department is separated, the few companies he now has in his hands are also profitable, if Xiao Cheng really insists on trying it, and feels that if he doesn't try, he will be blind to the business management course he has studied himself, then Lin Zitan chooses to support him!

They had another meeting a few days later, although Xiao Cheng's mood was not as high as the first day, but Lin Zitan could see that he was still struggling, so he made the decision to continue the discussion after coming back.

-------------------

Lin Zitan returned to China this time, after a long period of negotiations, this time he went back mainly to buy a house and a few pieces of land, he needed to show up in person to sign, and before signing again, he inspected the place they wanted to invest in.

But at the beginning of the new year, Lin Zitan was destined to be busy non-stop in the past six months.

The food city projects that Steve invested in before have been fully put into use, and the leasing of this piece is contracted by Lin Zitan's real estate company, although it seems that this is a small investment, but it is expensive to make money in a circular way.

In addition to the investment, Lin Zitan went to Frank in Italy again in private, and paid him to find someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Amanda family, while Steve would help him keep an eye on the Chinese gangs that were ready to move on his property.

In addition, Lin Zitan asked the new bodyguard Danny to learn yacht operation, and bought a large house and two yachts in a small town near the sea in the Bronx, and after returning from China, he himself had to learn to operate proficiently.

After taking the gun license before, Lin Zitan took the time to attend a training course on gun use and safety provided by the New York Environmental Protection Agency, and then asked Kyle to help him buy two guns.

A Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic rifle, a Ruger Mini-14 ranch rifle, to be honest, these two are not Lin Zitan's liking, carrying them on his back really looks like he is going hunting, so he left them in the closet of the study,

But there is no way, there are only these two guns in New York State that can be purchased legally.

In the end, Lin Zitan had to secretly ask Eric to get a pistol Colt m1911, the original price was about 3,000 US dollars, because it was illegal, he bought it and spent more than 6,000.

But according to Eric, this gun is used by professionals around the world in military and law enforcement groups, and the troops of the United States and the NYPD use this gun.

Lin Zitan quietly made a series of deployments before returning to China, thinking that the two weeks after returning to China would probably be the easiest moment for him in half a year, and as soon as he came back, he would begin to face the final test of life and death.

So although he was on the same plane as Li Manrui, he also tried to be a little more tactful, so as to create a relatively harmonious atmosphere between Li Manrui and Emma.
