It's a Hundred Million (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)

Chapter 14: It's a Hundred Million (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)

"Mr. Fan, I don't fear hard work because I know that to gain something, you must put in effort. May I ask how much capital you're using for the startup?"

After sitting down, Pingwen asked Fan Yu.

The delicate Anran also looked intently at Fan Yu.

Fan Yu held up one finger, and Pingwen couldn't help but frown.

"One million? Mr. Fan, that's enough."

Although Anran didn't speak, her eyes also held a look of determination.

She and Pingwen both graduated from Magic City University, majoring in network engineering, with the goal of becoming internet elites in the future. If Fan Yu provided one million in startup capital, they would cherish this opportunity.

At this moment, Fan Yu chuckled.

"You misunderstood. I meant a hundred million."

"Hiss!!!"

The two of them were just discussing how to use that one million to build an internet platform, but upon hearing Fan Yu say a hundred million, a flush suddenly appeared on their faces, and their breathing quickened.

"O-one hundred million? Mr. Fan, are you serious?"

Fan Yu nodded. "For me, a hundred million is nothing."

"As long as you can build a perfect APP platform for me, funding is not an issue."

"Mr. Fan, rest assured, I will do my utmost and guarantee that we will build a perfect platform."

Pingwen said quickly.

Fan Yu smiled faintly. "You haven't passed my test yet. I haven't said I'll hire you."

"Mr. Fan, please test us. We definitely won't disappoint you."

Pingwen said with conviction.

"Haha, alright, just kidding. The workplace isn't here."

Fan Yu led Pingwen and Anran away from Aoshu Company and went to Jinding Building at No. 100, located on Financial Street.

Few companies occupied Jinding Building, and above the seventeenth floor, no companies had leased space. Fan Yu had reserved the entire eighteenth floor. Although most of the floor was undecorated and appeared empty, there were a few simple partitioned rooms made of glass. However, while residential buildings avoided the eighteenth floor due to superstition, commercial buildings saw it differently, as "one-eight" sounded like "prosper" in Chinese.

"This is your future workplace."

"I've prepared a resting area for you over there. Once the company is on track, I'll find you an apartment for accommodation."

Fan Yu said, glancing around the company premises with Pingwen and Anran.

"It's fine, it's more than fine."

"Mr. Fan, this environment is more than enough. I heard about the founding of a certain company that started in a cramped rental room of just over ten square meters. With this environment, what more could we be unsatisfied with?"

Pingwen said contentedly.

Fan Yu smiled faintly. "The achievements of that company are inimitable, but I feel that my company in the future will definitely not be worse than theirs."

In the afternoon, staff began installing computers and other equipment needed for network engineering. Each computer was top-of-the-line, and all necessary items for building an internet platform were readily available.

"You two will have to bear with it for a bit. I'll be hiring more people to help you soon. For now, your salary will be one hundred thousand per month."

Fan Yu said.

"Okay, Mr. Fan, the treatment you're giving us is already the best. Don't worry, Anran and I will absolutely not disappoint you."

Leaving Jinding Building, Fan Yu went to the Administration for Industry and Commerce to register a company.

"Dinghao Network Technology Co., Ltd."

The logo representing Dinghao was a dragon-like pattern, as if looking down upon the world, exuding immense power. Every company logo is unique and copyrighted. Fan Yu went through many connections to secure this logo.

The first APP being developed is the 全民健身 Platform, also known as "Burn My Calories," with the English name "Burning." In his previous life, Keep wasn't managed well in its later stages and relied on venture capital to survive. This time, Fan Yu planned to make it big and strong, ushering in an era of fitness for everyone. As for financing, he felt he didn't need it. He could fully afford the cost of burning through money himself.

Magic City University is the most prestigious institution in Magic City, and its students are all elites. Fan Yu drove there and went directly to the principal's office he had arranged to contact. The principal of Magic City University holds a very high rank and considerable power. However, Fan Yu was able to contact him easily, and the principal received him warmly.

"I didn't expect Mr. Fan to be so young. Truly, a young hero."

The president of Magic City University was named Zhang Zhi Dao. He was a man in his fifties, but in excellent physical condition, with a robust build, though his hair had already turned gray.

Fan Yu shook hands with Zhang Zhi Dao and smiled, "Hello, President Zhang. Compared to you, who has cultivated countless talents for the country, my achievements are nothing."

"Heh, Mr. Fan is too kind."

"Financial Street is the symbol of our Magic City. Who dares to say their achievements are low?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Fan Yu said, "President Zhang, I mentioned my purpose on the phone. I'd like to recruit some talent in the internet field from your esteemed university. I hope you can accommodate me."

"Mr. Fan, this is an easy matter. You're helping me solve employment issues for those young people. I should be thanking you, how could I possibly refuse?"

Student employment had always been a national challenge. Universities like Magic City University were in a better position, with graduates finding jobs relatively easily.

However, for schools below the mid-tier, countless university students flooded into society, many losing hope in life and unsure of their future path.

This caused many universities a great deal of headaches.

Fan Yu had called today wanting to recruit talent, and Zhang Zhi Dao had agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, President Zhang. Liu Jian has already transferred the construction funds I donated to Magic City University to your finance department."

Zhang Zhi Dao smiled and said, "Mr. Fan, thank you so much for your contributions."

Magic City University had already selected talent for him – outstanding students about to graduate and enter society, majoring in computer science and finance.

The main reason was that Fan Yu was the university's ambassador for charity.

Two hundred million in construction funds was definitely a significant contribution.

This was why the school was so diligent.

Furthermore, this was Fan Yu's long-term plan. He wouldn't just recruit from Magic City University this one time; he might come often in the future.

After returning from Magic City University, Fan Yu went to Financial Street and entered the company.

It was already past nine in the evening, but the company lights were still on.

Pingwen and Anran were still working. Seeing this, Fan Yu nodded slightly, very satisfied with the two of them.

"How's it going?"

Upon seeing Fan Yu, Pingwen and Anran quickly said, "The initial platform setup is almost complete. All that's left is to finish some of the systems within the platform."

"Mm, thank you for your hard work."

"It's what we should be doing."

Pingwen had a good temperament and great endurance.

"Tomorrow, I'll send you a group of intern students. You and Anran can mentor them well. For now, consider yourselves the Technology Department. Pingwen, you'll be the supervisor, and Anran, the deputy supervisor."

Fan Yu said.

"Okay, boss."

Pingwen and Anran were very excited. They hadn't expected to become management so quickly.

The next morning, the system's voice sounded as expected.

"Ding, host has successfully signed in and received a Gulfstream G777 private jet, valued at one hundred million US dollars."

"They're giving away private jets?"

Fan Yu exclaimed in surprise.

The Gulfstream G777 was parked at the private airport of Magic City National Aviation.

In the morning, Fan Yu received a call from Liu Tianfeng.

"Boss, Shanghua Securities seems to be holding a board meeting today."

Fan Yu replied, "Mm, I know. I'll be there shortly."

It turned out the person he had locked his car on last time was Ma Gang, the chairman of Shanghua Securities. He had found this out from the property management later. Thinking back, it was quite amusing that he had met the principal party so early.

Liu Tianfeng had been secretly acquiring a large number of shares in Shanghua Securities. The shareholders who had sold their stocks had shown no outward reaction, awaiting instructions from Fan Yu, the new chairman.

He was now the new chairman of Shanghua Securities, so he naturally had to attend the board meeting.

Shangpin Building, Shanghua Securities.

In the vast conference room, Ma Gang sat at the head of the conference table, his gaze sweeping across several directors.

"Our Shanghua Securities' performance has been gradually declining recently. What is going on? Compared to the same month in previous years, it has dropped by ten percent. I want to know the reason."

A board member said, "Chairman Ma, I don't need to concern myself with company matters anymore. I'm here today just to inform you."

"Hm?"

Ma Gang looked at the director in confusion. Then, the other directors also began to speak.

"You guys?"

Ma Gang was somewhat stunned. Why had all these directors suddenly sold their shares?

Despite the company's recent decline in performance, it doesn't seem to have been significantly impacted, right? It's still a long way from bankruptcy, so why have all these board members sold their shares?

The conference room door was pushed open, and Fan Yu stepped inside.

Seeing Fan Yu, Ma Gang's expression turned cold. "Who are you?"

He hadn't seen Fan Yu the last time something happened in the underground parking lot of Tomson Riviera, so he didn't recognize him.

Fan Yu said with a smile, "I'm here to inform you that I am the new chairman of Shanghua Securities, and I'm here to kick you out of the board."

"You..."

"Could it be?" Ma Gang was about to say something when a bad guess suddenly occurred to him.

"Mr. Fan, you're here."

Several board members stood up, greeted Fan Yu with smiles, and then handed their share transfer agreements to Fan Yu.

At this moment, Ma Gang's guess came true; Fan Yu had acquired the shares from those board members.

"These shares now total sixty percent, and I've also acquired the ten percent held by other shareholders. I have controlling interest in Shanghua Securities, you know."

"Oh, right. You can leave now."

"What? That's impossible. What exactly do you want to do?"
