Chapter 17: Zhou Fan's Family History (Part 1)
On the way back, Zhao Yufeng complained, complaining that the old lady was unfair and too partial to the second room.
Zhou Fan drove the car absentmindedly, and the night scene outside the window quickly regressed.
Just as he was outside the object, a sharp voice sounded in his ears: "Zhou Fan, are you listening to me?" ”
"Yes, listen."
Zhou Fan immediately came back to his senses, his heart was slightly weak, and he noticed an angry gaze from the co-pilot's position.
"Okay, repeat what I just said." Lin Xin'er snorted angrily.
"Forehead ......"
"I knew you were in a daze, what if you got distracted from driving, what if you had an accident!"
"Okay, I was wrong, I will correct it, and I promise not to do it again." Zhou Fan decisively admitted.
"I repeat, next Wednesday is my birthday, I don't plan to make a big deal, call a few close relatives and friends to have a light meal together, remember to inform...... Inform your parents-in-law. Lin Xin'er bit her lip and said the last four words with difficulty.
"What parents-in-law?" Zhou Fan's mind didn't turn all of a sudden.
"It's your parents." Zhao Yufeng took over the conversation: "You and Xin'er have been married for three years, and we haven't seen anyone from the Zhou family, so take this opportunity to meet." ”
She was quite resentful when she mentioned this, and none of her relatives were present at the wedding last week.
I didn't care much about it before, but now that I know that the Zhou family and the Shao family are old friends, Zhao Yufeng realizes that Zhou Fan's family background may not be so simple.
"I'm afraid it's not convenient." Zhou Fan hesitated, and his mood was slightly low: "My dad is still in prison, and my mom is not in good health, so she is not suitable for tiring travel." ”
"What, your dad is in jail?!" Zhao Yufeng's voice suddenly rose a few decels: "Why didn't you say it before, what crime was committed, it wouldn't be a murderer, right?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Guangcheng tugged at her.
"It's not that serious, it seems to be smuggling, I was young when my father was taken away, and I don't know the specifics."
Zhou Fan pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered that in two years, his father would be released from prison, and the family would be reunited, and his mother would definitely be very happy.
Knowing the situation of Zhou Fan's parents, Zhao Yufeng completely lost interest in his family background and didn't bother to ask more.
However, Lin Xin'er was sympathetic, her father was imprisoned since she was a child, and her mother was sick, no wonder she agreed to go into the house at the beginning.
Zhou Fan doesn't feel that he needs to be pitied, as a reborn, who can be luckier than himself?
"The father-in-law and mother-in-law can't come, what about the other relatives of the Zhou family, do they still have contacts?" Lin Guangcheng asked with concern.
"It's been a long time since we lost contact." Zhou Fan smiled bitterly: "After the death of my grandfather, the Zhou family tree fell apart, and the three uncles had a very unpleasant quarrel over the family property. ”
Lin Guangcheng sighed after hearing this, thinking of the current Lin family.
One day the old lady dies, and the Lin family is afraid that it will fall apart like the Zhou family, which is the sorrow of the big family.
Lin Xin'er didn't think about it so much, her pity for Zhou Fan deepened again, and she faintly regretted that she shouldn't have been so harsh on him before.
It was close to the early hours of the morning when I got home, so after a simple freshen-up, I went into my room to rest.
Seeing Zhou Fan shrinking in the corner, Lin Xin'er thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow you go buy a single bed, don't make a bunk on the floor." ”
"Okay." Zhou Fan responded succinctly, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After turning off the lights, Zhou Fan didn't fall asleep immediately, planning a specific business blueprint in his mind.
There are not many resources on hand, but they are not small either.
One hundred sets of houses in Tianhe Yuefu are all ready-made rough houses, which can be rented out after simple decoration, and it is too wasteful to be idle for a long time.
The remaining dozens of tons of mahogany are not in a hurry to sell, and one or two tons are released every once in a while, and selling too much at one time is easy to impact the market, but it will lower the price.
Part of the cash on hand is used to renovate the house, and part is used for long-term investment.
In addition to the most familiar Hungry Bar, the rice group that has not yet been established and the little-known DJI drone are all used as preparatory investment objects.
As for the famous rice mobile phone, it will only be established next year, and the founder Lei Jun was originally a business tycoon, and Zhou Fan had no way to invest even if he wanted to, so he could only give up with regrets.
There is no shortage of financial resources for the time being, and what Zhou Fan lacks most now is people, right-hand men who can help solve problems.
On your own, you spend more than half of your time doing housework, and you can't spare much energy to create wealth.
At this moment, Zhou Fan misses the good friends in the university dormitory very much, but it is a pity that those who go abroad and those who study in graduate school are difficult to get together.
Kong Shun is a good candidate, but he has his own ideals, and Zhou Fan is inconvenient to force them.
There is a reason for trusting Kong Shun, this guy is generous, he wants to do a career but is not a fan of money.
found that the bank card suddenly had an extra five million, and the first reaction was to call the police to hand it in, but fortunately, Zhou Fan made a phone call in time to explain the reason.
Kong Shun didn't want this investment, Zhou Fan forcibly wanted to give it, and the two were deadlocked on the phone for more than half an hour, and finally had to compromise with each other.
Tianshun Studio received the five million, and Zhou Fan became the largest shareholder, accounting for 65% of the shares!
At the beginning, Zhou Fan only needed 25%, and under Kong Shun's strong request, the two sides bargained and added 40% of the shares.
Even though the founding team only owns 35%, the other four members of the studio are still happy.
There was no result, and the angel investment of five million was in hand, and the initial financial problem of the business was solved.
As the real boss behind the studio, Zhou Fan certainly couldn't ignore it, and on the third night of his shareholding, he took the time to invite all the members to a meal.
Unlike the entrepreneurial team of Hungry, Tianshun Studio has a low overall education, but has rich work experience, and two of them have worked in large Internet companies before.
At the dinner, everyone expressed their opinions on the future development direction of the studio.
In the beginning, some people were not very comfortable with the development of online game platforms, thinking that they should concentrate on developing mobile games.
Although Zhou Fan is a big boss, the other members did not compromise easily on the issue of development path.
After all, when it comes to the life and death of the studio, one wrong step and one wrong step.
Fortunately, Zhou Fan is well aware of the prospects of online game platforms, combined with his own views on the Internet industry, and persuaded everyone with his incorruptible tongue.
This is the benefit of predicting the future, it doesn't matter if you don't understand network technology, just grasp the right direction.
After eating a meal for more than two hours, plus the time on the way home, it was almost one o'clock in the morning when Zhou Fan returned home.
After a brief wash, he walked into the room lightly, and saw a bed in the darkness, placed where he had slept before.
A warm current surged through Zhou Fan's heart, he was busy in the past two days, neglecting to buy a bed, but he didn't expect Lin Xin'er to still remember it.
Don't look at this Nizi who is cold on weekdays, but in fact it is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Maybe it's because of the only daughter, if you want to support this family in the future, you have to cover up your inner weakness with a tough attitude.
Lin Xin'er, who was asleep, had a not very good dream, and she didn't get out of the nightmare until dawn.
When he woke up, he didn't see Zhou Fan, and he couldn't help frowning, mistakenly thinking that this guy hadn't returned all night.
When I walked to the hall, I saw that the prepared breakfast was placed on the dining table, proving that Zhou Fan had come back, and a trace of worry in my heart was finally dispelled.
