It's a three-story home close to downtown Irvine, much better than the original rental location.

On the first floor is the living room, gym, fireplace, sofa and TV.

There are three bedrooms on the second floor and one bedroom and game room on the third floor, so it can be said that it can be used as a company residence with a slight renovation.

For example, the gym on the first floor has only one treadmill, and the others are empty, which can be used as offices after transformation, and the living room can be directly transformed into a reception room, and then all the third floors can be converted into offices.

Here home conversion into company office space abounds, and it is not a matter of reducing the force, small and micro enterprises are the same, unlike how to rent a place to support the façade in China.

The rent is not expensive, $10,000 a year, Kong Miao and the landlord just signed a two-year contract to pay for the move-in.

I found a moving company to move in one day, and Natalie also rubbed a room here, or a threesome.

Joshua Han reappeared in Los Angeles, he was not recruiting for a position, he did not return to Irvine City for the past two days, but stayed in a hotel in Los Angeles.

"Han Zhifeng, a native of Suzhou Province, China. ”

"David Chen,"

Mr. Han met an American with a Western face but black eyes and black hair.

After the two sat down, they simply greeted each other and then stepped into the theme.

"I took a fancy to ICQ's products and business in the United States, and wanted to create a Chinese instant messaging software in China, but you know that compared to here, there is a relative lack of talent in this area in China."

Han Zhifeng stated his purpose.

"I think the vitality of ICQ software is very average, and the company still has not found the company's profit prospects, and now it is maintained by relying on the advantages of customers, such as product placement, etc., how can a good company have a good future that cannot be described by its own profit prospects,"

David Chen, a second-generation Chinese, shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't understand Han Zhifeng's thoughts, his accent was very strange, and the word order was out of order, but Han Zhifeng could barely understand it.

The reason why David Chen wanted to leave ICQ was to see that the company fell into chaos after being acquired by AOL, and the company's internal opinions on the prospect of profitability were disagreeable, and the new profitable items such as the advertising column were disgusted by registered customers, which affected the smoothness and simplicity of use, and the registered customers declined every day, although not much, compared to the more than 10 million registered people, it is insignificant, but it can be seen that the development trend is very bad.

"You're right, but China is different from the United States. ”

Han Zhifeng smiled and shook his head, he still values this person's qualifications, one is that the identity of Chinese makes him identify, and the other is that this person is responsible for the construction of the structure, customer experience and improvement within ICQ, which is an inconspicuous but very critical position.

And Joshua Han is lacking an architect who can build software from a macro perspective, that is, the chief designer.

Therefore, it is necessary to convince him, to convince such a person that either you are more capable than his skills, or your mind conquers him, and you can't convince him, so that he can't see the prospects, and everything is not tied.

"In the United States, there is a relatively mature industrial layout, such as shopping websites, such as game networks, major film and television companies also have their own website networks, and they have their own more loyal registered users, they have been relatively solidified, so it is difficult for the latecomer ICQ company to penetrate in, compete with them for resources, and cannot let the tens of millions of customers under their control become real financiers,"

In fact, Han Zhifeng knows very well that ICQ does not occupy the market like Facebook, and then establishes its own ecosystem, and uses its own ecosystem to make profits from all aspects of film and television entertainment.

"It's different in China, where we first use the social characteristics of instant messaging software to attract a large number of customers, monopolize the market, and then build our own game, shopping, video and other ecosystems, and then enter the normalization of profits, because there are no outstanding companies in China, the competitiveness is relatively weak, and it is easier to succeed. ”

Han Zhifeng half-truths and half-truths, it is true that China is in the start-up stage, and the competitiveness of various emerging websites is relatively poor, and it is easy to catch up, but some circles are not easy to enter, such as shopping, if the network is not wide, the road is not wide, it is impossible to establish, and it is also a black hole of investment, and this realm will not see the possibility of making a profit for ten years.

But the other categories, of course, Joshua Han wanted to try them all.

Han Zhifeng said it very simply, and David Chen immediately understood Han Zhifeng's statement and expressed his agreement.

David Chen hesitated, although it was his homeland, he really didn't know much, it can be said that applying for this position was a risk, but there was no good chance of staying.

'I'll give you a statistic, the number of domestic Internet users was less than 300,000 the year before last, last year the number was 7.8 million, this year it is more than 1 million, and China's population is 1.2 billion, according to this increasing rate, the total number of Internet users will catch up with the United States, that is, a few years later, maybe you want to say that the difference in the income of the two nationals is too far, resulting in a very different scale of the Internet industry.

David Chen wanted to say something, Han Zhifeng raised his hand to stop him, he hadn't said enough,

"I'll say two more data, China's economic growth rate in the last ten years has exceeded 10 percent, then the speed of national prosperity is unprecedented, China's population is five times that of the United States, you think about this huge group, as long as a few years, everything that happens here will be repeated in the East, whether you continue to stay here and wait for opportunities, or lead a start-up company to occupy the market in the East, I think of the time to decide. ”

Han Zhifeng's words are detailed and convincing, and more importantly, David Chen was not willing to be so quiet, and he finally agreed to start a business together in China.

Five days later, Joshua Han's business in the United States was almost over, and he returned to Irvine City, also moving into a new location that had just been renovated.

It's just that although he is the funder, he can only live on the sofa in the living room on the first floor aggrievedly, and the other three bedrooms have been occupied by three girls.

It's already eleven o'clock in the evening, Han Zhifeng is still not sleepy, this trip to the United States can be said to have completed his idea, recruiting three useful talents, two are building their own network companies, Xu Yiming is to prevent Yongxin Supermarket from becoming a monopoly to take precautions, and he is very satisfied with the three of them.

But the discovery of the trip to the United States also made him feel like a man, and he always felt that some things were uncontrollable, and maybe they would break out somewhere, and Han Zhifeng didn't like this situation very much, because the so-called vision he relied on the most was flawed.

If he doesn't like it, there is no way, he can only walk on thin ice, he is already ready to send it.

In a day or two, he will return to China, and at this time, he is struggling in his heart because he is alone, and Cheng Lan is also in this land.

Is he going to see her, to see how she is doing, if there is anything she needs help, at least because of the proliferation of guns and racial rifting.

If she is doing well, he turns around and leaves, if she is not so adaptable to life, then whether to reach out to help her, this thought lingers in his heart.

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he held the phone in his hand, and with just a few buttons, he could ask Chi San to go to Cheng's house to ask Cheng Lan's phone number and address.

The flashing headlights on the road at regular intervals reflected in the window, making Han Zhifeng's heart flickering and dark, and he couldn't figure it out.

The sound of footsteps on the stairs interrupted Han Zhifeng's thoughts, and he looked back to see Kong Miao, who was wearing thin pajamas, walking downstairs.
