The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

In the urban area, in a Ruixing café next to the high-tech software park, Wei Ming saw Ling Chao sitting by the window.

He ordered a 9-bar latte with a ThinkPad laptop in front of him, tapping a few times on the keyboard from time to time, and the computer screen displayed the colorful code of the software development tool's editing interface.

He looked serious and focused, wearing a yellow trench coat and a baseball cap on his head, obviously because his programming rank was too high, so he had to wear a hat to hide his strength.

"Brother Ling!"

Wei Ming stepped forward and said hello: "I'm coming." ”

"Oh, sit...... Hey, you're Wei Ming, why did you change so much? ”

"Haha, I spent some money and changed my image, and the effect is pretty good, right?" Wei Ming explained his changes.

"I didn't recognize you at first sight, you've become handsome, but your voice hasn't changed, you can sit down."

Ling Chao stopped what he was doing and handed over the menu on the edge of the table: "Order whatever you want, I'll treat you." ”

"No, I'm not thirsty."

Wei Ming sat opposite him and said with some sighs: "I didn't expect that Brother Ling, you are almost forty years old, and you still have to type code line by line, I remember you said before, after the age of 35, you will not type code, and leave it to young people to do, are you going back to your old business?" ”

"The company is small, and I can't afford to hire senior programmers, so I can only do it myself."

Shaking his head, Ling Chao said with a wry smile: "My current goal is to let the company survive for more than two years, come up with products with more than 70% development, and then find a way to raise funds in the market. ”

"Brother Ling, you have been working in IT for more than ten years, and you are technically a big bull, it is no problem to go to that software company and be a technical director, and you have to repay more than 20,000 mortgages every month, and the economic pressure is not small, why did you suddenly think of starting a business?"

Wei Ming asked a little puzzled, after more than 30 years of development of the Internet industry in China, the outlets that can be seen everywhere have long passed, the situation of a few giants has been clear, the golden period of entrepreneurship has passed, and it has entered the era of cruel stock competition, and the current success rate of entrepreneurship can be said to have dropped from 10% ten years ago to less than 1%, and the risk is extremely huge.

Brother Ling is already middle-aged, old and young, and the mortgage pressure is huge, so it stands to reason that he should seek stability, and it is not suitable to take the risk of starting a business.

"If I don't see a good opportunity, what dare I have to start a business? I think I have to be sure to do it. ”

Ling Chao smiled, leaned forward, leaned into Wei Ming's ear quite mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, Xiaowei, this project of my company is a domestic software replacement project, do you know the scientific and technological war between China and Mi, right?" The decoupling of the two countries in the field of technology is a foregone conclusion, but our country has too much software and is heavily dependent on the United States, so we must develop domestic alternatives as soon as possible...... The project done by our company is currently this piece. ”

"That's pretty good."

Wei Ming nodded in surprise and gave a thumbs up: "Break the foreign monopoly, win glory for the country, and fight for the people, Brother Ling, this is a great cause, I support you!" ”

"That being said, there is also a lot of risk and pressure."

Ling Chao sighed and shook his head: "My hair has turned half gray in the past few months, and the foundation of this industrial software project done by the company is very weak and very difficult!" There is not much start-up capital, my company's technical team has a total of ten people, finance, personnel and other employees have not been invited, and the office sanitation is cleaned by ourselves, in order to save money as much as possible and use every penny to the blade. ”

"Of course, the government also has support, office rent does not need money, there is a salary subsidy of 50,000 yuan per month, and it is promised to be issued for 20 months, if the product is made, through the acceptance, and then 1 million will be rewarded, if the product can be sold and welcomed in the market, then my company can earn more and get on the right track."

"However, the technical team of ten people, no matter how frugal and supportive the government is, the monthly expenses are at least more than 100,000 yuan, and more than half of the expenses have to be paid by myself, which is the half of the risk that is pressed on my shoulders."

Ling Chao explained about his own specific situation, hoping that Wei Ming could understand his predicament, and said to Wei Ming with a sincere face:

"Xiaowei, 50,000 yuan is not a decimal, but it is not a big number, you said that you also want to join the ranks of entrepreneurs, I can understand, but I hope you can think about it carefully, for the entrepreneurial project you are optimistic about, is it sure enough, and have you made up your mind to break the boat? If you make up your mind, you must do it, 50,000 yuan, and I will transfer it to you immediately. ”

After all, he had borrowed money from Wei Ming before to buy a house, and he had to pay it back.

"I will definitely do it, Brother Ling!"

Wei Ming nodded and said solemnly: "I am 100% sure, and in two months, I will return the money to you." ”

"Okay! Give me the bank account number and I'll transfer the money immediately. ”

Ling Chao picked up his mobile phone, entered the online banking app of a bank, and quickly transferred 50,000 yuan to Wei Ming's bank account.

The start-up capital problem faced by Weiming Entrepreneurship has been solved.

From beginning to end, from beginning to end, Ling Chao did not ask Wei Ming what entrepreneurial project he was going to do, did not put forward his views and opinions, or denied Wei Ming's ideas from various angles, and even persuaded Wei Ming to give up his intention to start a business.

It can be seen from this that this colleague who is one round old David Ming is a friend worthy of deep friendship.

However, when the transfer arrived and Wei Ming said goodbye, Ling Chao seemed to think of this question and asked: "By the way, Xiaowei, the project you plan to start a business, what is the specific project, can you reveal it?" ”

"It has something to do with the medical industry."

"Pharmaceutical business, medical devices? Or a health care product? It's a good line to do. ”

"No, it has something to do with plastic surgery."

"That's good!"

Ling Chao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became excited: "Plastic surgery is an emerging market with huge potential, and it has developed very fast in recent years. ”

"Hey~"

He sighed habitually, and his tone revealed the loneliness of a mid-life crisis: "I'm old, I'm really old, I've been spinning in the Internet circle, and I haven't been famous for more than ten years, it's still good for you young people, there are many opportunities, and there is the possibility of changing the environment to develop, we are the former waves, it's really not good~"

Wei Ming sweated and waved his hand: "Brother Ling, don't think too much, go about your own business, I'll go back too, and contact me at any time if I have something." ”

"Okay, goodbye."
