Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 181, Zhu Yixian: I feel crushed (180K)

A moment later, two cars drove out of Guanlan Golf Club.

Under Lin Chu's cordial invitation, Zhu Yixian couldn't refuse and agreed to have dinner together.

Although Chen Jinyu came by car, she was accompanied by ensue employees. She asked the employees to drive her own car back, and she took Lin Chu's.

And because they still had to discuss the project, Geng Yue also got into Lin Chu's car.

Zhu Yixian watched the three of them get into the car. He still couldn't tell what the relationship between the two was. They looked very close, but they didn't seem to be open and honest like ordinary couples.

Lin Chu calls her sister and she calls her Xiao Chu, which is quite ambiguous in their address.

After driving for a while, a somewhat bizarre thought even popped up in his mind - could it be that Chen Jinyu was supporting Lin Chu?

Judging from their age, they are quite similar.

But emotionally, he didn't really want to admit it.

Oh... this is not clear.

In Lin Chu's Rolls-Royce.

Gao Haitao was driving the car, and Geng Yue tactfully sat in the passenger seat. After getting in the car, he felt that this investment might be more stable, and there was no doubt about Mr. Lin's strength.

How could a distinguished Rolls-Royce owner be short of these two million?
"How old is Mr. Geng this year?"

After Lin Chu got in the car, the car started moving. He placed one hand on Chen Jinyu's leg as if nothing had happened, while chatting with Geng Yue in the front seat.

Although the investment in this social software project is not much, it still has a certain weight in Lin Chu's mind.

After all, it is opening up new areas.

Moreover, as for traffic entrance, whether it is the intangible cultural heritage live broadcast or Liu Junfeng's side, its potential is probably not as good as that of a social software.

The idea he mentioned is also quite unreasonable.

Geng Yue smiled and responded: "I am 36 years old. I started my business in 12 and worked for 12 years, ending at the beginning of this year. Now, the next 12 years are about to begin. I hope I can achieve something."

I felt a little sad for a moment.

A cycle of 12 years passes. I did something and succeeded. Unfortunately, I didn't reap the fruits of my labor. All my efforts were wasted on others. It would be a lie to say that I don't have any regrets.

But as an entrepreneur, he naturally has the strong mentality of an entrepreneur. If one project fails, he will just move on to the next one. After all, he is only 36 years old, still very young, and there is plenty of good time in his life.

Lin Chu nodded and smiled, "Yes. If you know me, you will know that I am a very considerate person to my friends. As long as you are capable enough, you don't have to worry about the money."

"For the pyramid social gameplay you designed, do you plan to start with the top group or the bottom group first?"

Lin Chu directly changed the topic to the business line.

This is a brand new thing. There is no comparable or referenceable thing on the market. If he starts from the top, his ideas will definitely give him a lot of inspiration.

Hearing this question, Geng Yue's face became serious, and he said carefully: "I plan to go through several versions of iterations. The first version is to divide them into students, professionals, and celebrities, and quickly help them find their corresponding labels. The student group is convenient for promotion and accumulates the first batch of users. Professionals focus on work social networking, and celebrities output value. The three communities will have a hierarchical design at the beginning, but will provide a small number of roaming opportunities."

"The second version, after the number of users reaches more than one million, will further identify the occupational labels of the crowd and divide them into different levels. Free users and paid users of levels 1-9 will have different corresponding permissions and gameplay."

"In the third version, after the number of users reached tens of millions, this gameplay began to be further refined and precipitated, and the authority bonus became stronger. A ranking mechanism was started. At first, the ranking could be based on the amount of consumption, and then an identity authentication system was added. Fame, income level, and social status were provided to provide a certain weight bonus."

"By the time it reached this version, it was basically mature, and the rest was nothing more than various functional optimizations and refinements."

"There are two possible outcomes for this software. First, no one will be interested in it because it is too avant-garde. It should have been a product that only appeared after humans entered the science fiction era. Second, it is highly simulated. But in addition to the physical level of social interaction in real society, it will provide another channel, which is its core value."

He has thought it through clearly.

After listening to it, Lin Chu thought about it and felt a little excited for a moment.

The model he designed has many shadows of previous social software, such as Renren for students, Maimai for workplaces, and Weibo for celebrities, but it is also different. It is equivalent to creating a relatively real online platform with clear divisions, but providing certain opportunities to cross barriers.

"If you do top-level partitioning, how do you plan to do it?"

"In other words, what tactics do you plan to use to attract and retain these so-called social elites and bigwigs?"

Lin Chu thought for a moment and asked again.

Geng Yue quickly answered: "One is the software function, such as the envisioned super push, where a request from a famous person can be pushed to all users at the same time. Of course, ordinary users can block it. The second is the development prospect. After a new thing comes out, there will be a bonus period. Some celebrities are still very concerned about this. The third is my personal face recognition and widespread invitations. In the field of social software, I am still somewhat well-known."

"This software must have a strong operating model. During the operation process, it will constantly create various hot topics. This is a test for me and my team, but it is also the fun part."

Speaking of this, his tone became inexplicably excited.

Just thinking about it really makes my blood boil.

A disruptive social product.

Once again standing on the prostate of the times.

Although the social software market has become highly monopolized, with no decent products left except for a few, there is no immortal product.

Human beings’ needs for social interaction are constantly changing.

Geng Yue has this confidence.

This was his second time starting a business, and he decided in his heart that this would be his last.

It is enough to accomplish such a thing in a lifetime.

Lin Chu imagined the difficulty again. It was quite difficult, indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But, for myself, the benefit is that it can provide a complementary effect.

You don’t even need to develop it to the full version stage. During the stage of attracting traffic, you can feed back what you are doing now and make more friends.

At the same time, new brothers and new friends you meet can also be directed to this software.

To put it another way, even if he fails, he will only make two million.

Sprinkle some water.

"Okay, I have no problem. Has your company been registered?"

Lin Chu thought about it and said with certainty.

Geng Yue: "Registration is complete. Three members of my core team are already writing code. We are currently renting a house and it will take about two months to complete version 1.0. If we have enough money, it will be even faster."

"Okay, go to my company tomorrow, sign the contract, and get the money."

Lin Chu said readily.

interesting.

It's really interesting.

These vigorous entrepreneurs all have a lot of energy.

To be fair, Lin Chu also admired it very much.

……

"Boss Lin, shall I get off at the next intersection? I don't need to go to dinner. We've already finished our talk, right? I live nearby."

They were almost back in the city when Geng Yue took the initiative to speak.

The mission has been accomplished, and I can retire with honor.

Besides, don’t disturb the boss from picking up girls!
Lin Chu thought about it and asked the driver to let him go.

After Geng Yue got off the car, Chen Jinyu glanced at Lin Chu, her eyes sparkling.

Just now she vaguely felt that Lin Chu had undergone a complete transformation. Compared to before, he was less ruffian, but more elitist, as if he really was a big boss who was good at maneuvering in the business world.

But he is only 24 years old.

"Have you been busy with various business recently?"

She asked in a soft voice.

Lin Chu pursed his lips, nodded and smiled: "Well, there is business everywhere I go. I have hundreds of millions on hand, but I can't spend them. It's annoying."

Chen Jinyu:?

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, she looked at him with a bit of shock, a bit of helplessness, and even more a bit of admiration and doting - what kind of words were these?

Chen Jinyu doesn't have much ambition and is very satisfied with her own career. For her, being a chef is both a job and an enjoyment. However, a man who is ambitious to make money is still very attractive.

"Take your time. You're already very good. If you feel tired, come and have dinner with me. Order whatever you want."

She said gently.

Lin Chu nodded and smiled: "Yeah."

"The guy from Mission Hills, Zhu Yixian, just wanted to invite me for coffee, but I refused. I didn't expect that you would have dinner with him. It makes me a little embarrassed. If you have something serious to discuss with him, I can choose not to go."

Chen Jinyu thought about it and spoke softly.

Although there was a little resentment, it was not shown and was hidden well.

In itself, it is indeed a little embarrassing.

Although, she really wanted to have a meal alone with Lin Chu.

Hearing this, Lin Chu looked at her with a little surprise.

Tsk, a 30-year-old sister is so intellectual and gentle.

My guess was not wrong. Zhu Yixian did mean this.

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin Chu jokingly said, "Maybe they came just for you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to invite them out."

Chen Jinyu glared at him and patted him lightly: "I don't want it. What do you think of me?"

"Okay, then you go back first, I'll find you later."

Lin Chu didn't say anything more and asked the driver to take her home.

It’s better not to provoke Xiao Zhu. This kind of play is not appropriate and seems a bit vulgar.

……

After sending her off again, Lin Chu called Zhu Yixian: "Where are you? What do you want to eat?"

We just booked a meeting place near Chegong Temple in Futian, but the exact location has not been announced yet.

At this moment, hearing Lin Chu's words, Zhu Yixian smiled and said, "Look, I can do it."

"Then let's go to the Langting Hotel Western Restaurant. We can eat, drink and chat."

Ok?
The two of us?

"You... uh, your girlfriend is back?"

Zhu Yixian noticed the details of Lin Chu's statement and was a little surprised. He felt a little reluctant, but also somewhat relieved when he asked.

Just now, all along the way, he had been thinking about how to deal with this slightly embarrassing situation. He had prepared a lot of ideas in his mind, but he didn't expect that all his efforts were in vain.

"Yes, she is not feeling well."

"Why, you...?"

Lin Chu licked his lips, his tone slightly teasing.

Zhu Yixian was startled, and immediately said in a steady tone: "Okay, I have no problem, then let's go."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chu couldn't help but laugh. Tsk, it's confirmed, he is really a "gentleman".

Friends with this kind of attributes are really rare in my circle of friends. They are damn rare.

Including myself.

But, then again, being born in a wealthy family, having never seen any evil in the world since childhood, and being relatively young, and with good protection from his family, it is understandable that Zhu Yixian has developed his current character.

……

The entrance of the western restaurant on the 36th floor of Langham Hotel.

When Lin Chu saw Zhu Yixian, he actually changed his clothes from a formal suit to a casual shirt, and his black leather shoes to brown leather shoes, and his hair was slightly messy.

Damn, it's so particular, and all kinds of details are ingrained into the bones.

Lin Chu greeted him with a smile and went in with him. They each ordered a steak and a bottle of Chateau-Conti.

Seeing that Lin Chu was so serious but his attitude was extremely casual, Zhu Yixian looked a little surprised.

Conti, a bottle of Conti costs 360,000 yuan. Even for myself, it would still hurt a little to drink it. Only on some relatively important days, when I am in a good mood, will I indulge in a little luxury.

But at this moment, it seems to be Lin Chu's daily routine.

A hint of curiosity arose in his heart again.

What level of person is this?
For some reason, I felt like I was being crushed.

In terms of family background, connections, energy, women, and even wealth, it seems that I am inferior to him.

This is so unfair. Are we going to let people live?
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID, said sorry, and quickly stood up and answered the call.

Big brother called.

The eldest brother, Zhu Yizhen, is the eldest son and grandson of the family.

My grandfather personally decided on the generation name, the first character of the generation, and gave me the name himself, Zhen.

In fact, after the completion of Guanlan Golf, the family's business focus naturally shifted to Pengcheng.

"Brother, please tell me."

Zhu Yixian's voice revealed respect. His elder brother was eleven years older than him, thirty-five years old. He currently held a position in the group as vice president, in charge of finance, and would definitely be the successor in the future.

There is nothing to be dissatisfied about. Even if you are dissatisfied, you have to hold it in.

Who made me born late?
"You made two mistakes in your work today. First, it's too low class to invite an entrepreneur like Geng Yue to the party to give a speech. Golf is a sport for the nobility, not just anyone can play it."

"Second, after the accident involving Mr. Qian, did you do anything to help the members at the scene?"

"Are you born in the Year of the Pig? Can you please use your brain?"

"Emergencies are emergencies, don't members need to be comforted?"

"Pujiezi, if someone arrests someone at the club, how much will our reputation be affected if this gets out?"

"Where are you now? Get back here right now!"

On the phone, there was my eldest brother's stormy voice.

Zhu Yixian's body was tense, his fists were clenched secretly, he was angry and afraid, and his body was shaking slightly.

He quickly guessed that the arrest was coordinated by his second uncle with the police. If it was his eldest brother, with his temper, he would definitely find ways to stop it and put the interests of the group first, so the police might not be so easy.

It was impossible for the eldest brother to be angry with the second uncle, and maybe he was a little upset. But as the younger one in charge of the scene, I naturally deserved to be the ultimate bearer of the fire.

"I... I'm having dinner with a member, a relative of the staff member present, Mr. Lin Chu."

"I want to use his channels to get some indirect information about how serious this matter is. At the same time, Mr. Lin Chu applied for five credit cards in one go, with a spending level of tens of millions, so he can be considered a top-quality customer."

"Brother, give me two hours. I'll go back right away after I finish eating with him."

Zhu Yixian said cautiously.

This reason was thought up in an instant, or even made up.

I didn’t think so much before setting off.

But now that the food and drinks have been ordered, it is impossible for him to abandon Lin Chu and go back quickly.

Moreover, given my brother's temper and work style, as long as he says he is a customer and uses this as a shield, there will most likely be no problem.

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yizhen was silent for a few seconds.

"I'll be waiting for you in my office at 10pm."

He said this in a solemn tone and immediately hung up the phone.

Zhu Yixian let out a long sigh, and only then did he feel that his soul had returned to its place, as if he had survived a calamity.

Patting his face, he relaxed as quickly as possible, returned to the table, and resumed his impeccably polite smile.

We have become accustomed to this high-pressure environment.

Of course, it is unnecessary and absolutely impossible to let outsiders know.

"Who?"

Lin Chu asked casually.

"About work, Brother Chu, let me toast you a glass first and apologize to you first. I have to go back to a meeting at 10 o'clock tonight, so I may not be able to drink a lot."

Zhu Yixian raised his glass and smiled.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to disobey the orders of the eldest brother.

"It's so miserable. You are at least the third generation of a wealthy family. Are you trying so hard to beat Li Bancheng and become the richest Chinese?"

Lin Chu joked in a slightly exaggerated tone.

Zhu Yixian pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "What kind of third generation am I? Oh, let's not talk about this."

He still feels inappropriate to mention his family affairs in front of "clients" and outsiders. First, it affects the family's reputation, and second, it makes him appear incompetent.

Lin Chu ignored his refusal, feeling that this was the time when he was at his weakest. However, he did not forcefully ask him, but only casually asked him indirectly.

"How many children are there in your family among the younger generation? Who is the one in charge?"

"I'm quite interested in gossip about wealthy families."

This……

It's not really a very private topic.

Since Lin Chu asked, Zhu Yixian thought about it and answered casually: "In my grandfather's generation, there were four brothers. In my family, there were seven children in my father and uncle's generation. By the third generation, there are about thirty children in total. It's like spreading out..."

Uh.

Lin Chu nodded thoughtfully. This was indeed the case, with a large family and a huge business.

Damn, it's hard to do.

They have so many children in their own family, many of whom are older and even younger. They are probably all fighting for power and getting hurt. An outsider, even if he wants to get involved a little bit, has no chance at all.

Unless you have overwhelming strength.

After a brief thought, Lin Chu came up with a new idea. He smiled and said casually, "Then you must be under a lot of pressure. Are golf courses profitable now? How about opening one yourself?"

This is a compromise approach to saving the country.

This statement seems very amateurish.

Zhu Yixian smiled and explained in detail: "Since 04, it has been strictly forbidden to build any new golf courses in all regions. Unless it is a large-scale sports event or a government project with special approval, it is absolutely impossible for private capital to do so."

"However, there are existing stadiums that are poorly managed and on the verge of bankruptcy, which is acceptable. But in the current economic situation, it is better to have less trouble than more."

"As for making money, there is definitely some money to be made. After all, high-end consumption is expanding even in this market situation."

He just thought that Lin Chu was asking about the business model of this industry on a whim, so he answered quite sincerely.

Lin Chu nodded casually.

If that's the case, then it's simple.

If Mission Hills can’t handle it, why not just buy something else?
There is more than one golf course in the entire Pearl River Delta, and even in the whole country.

My thoughts suddenly became clear.

There are still gains.

Lin Chu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him again with a smile.

"I want to try it out, too. You're an insider, so you're more informed than I am. If there's a suitable stadium you want to transfer, you can recommend one to me."

"Money is not a problem. As for the address, any of the four first-tier cities, Beijing, Magic City, Guangzhou, and Pengcheng are all fine."

Lin Chu was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.

This is not a sensitive topic. After all, even if I open a golf course, there will be no problem of stealing business. At most, it will affect the renewal of membership cards at Mission Hills next year.

But that is the group interest, not Zhu Yixian’s personal interest.

As a practitioner in this industry and even a well-known golf family in the country, he has no reason to reject a possible "foreign aid".

Ok?
Hearing this, Zhu Yixian was also shocked.

I really want to buy it!

So arrogant! ?
He couldn't help but licking his lips gently, and suddenly, he felt inexplicably moved.

To be fair, if he could be included in Lin Chu's core circle of friends, then his status in this circle might be much higher than that in the family.

Lin Chu is an outsider. He wants to invest in a golf course, but he may not know the business. He must need someone in the industry to do the core management. Maybe...

Ok?
Isn't this a trap?

For a moment, Zhu Yixian had all kinds of thoughts in his mind.

However, no matter whether it is an opportunity or a trap, nothing has happened yet, so we can always talk about it.

"There are 13 golf clubs in Pengcheng now. Mission Hills is one of the highest-end ones. As for the other 12, except for those built by the government and those that are absolutely impossible to transfer, there are probably four more that we can choose from."

"I know one of them that might be worth a transfer."

"It's a real estate group that's in urgent need of cash flow. But I need to ask the lobby for more information. I can give you a reply within three days."

Zhu Yixian said very seriously that he knew all the things in the industry like the back of his hand.

Lin Chu smiled and nodded, raising his glass again.

"Okay!"

"Then I'll wait for your news!"

……
