Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 295 - 294 The Three Musketeers
"Why sell for money when the boss can just invest and we can start our own company for fun? When we play games, we’ll have whatever equipment we want. How awesome would that be?" Cheng Le Hao said.
"If it was really like that, there would be no fun in playing games. But your idea is pretty good, and I also agree with Yifan’s view from earlier. Computers and the internet are definitely the direction of technological development. If you two are really interested in starting a company in this field for fun, I’d be very willing to invest," Ge Dongxu said, first gently kicking Cheng Le Hao’s plump butt, then after thinking it over, he continued.
"Really?" Du Yifan’s eyes immediately lit up, full of anticipation as he looked at Ge Dongxu.
"Hehe, just investing money isn’t a big deal for me. The key is you. You have a talent in computers. Can you handle running a company? I have no problem investing money, but I definitely won’t have time to take part in the management and operations," Ge Dongxu said.
"That’s easy, what about me? Don’t forget I study humanities. I’m planning to move toward economics and management in the future. So, the boss invests money and plays the big boss, I handle management and operations as the general manager, CEO, or something like that, and Yifan focuses on the technical side. Wow, think about it, the three of us starting a company and embarking on entrepreneurship, it’s so cool just thinking about it. I’ve even thought of a name, we’ll be called The Three Musketeers!" Cheng Le Hao was actually just mentioning it casually at first. He was well aware that Ge Dongxu was meant for bigger things, not like them. He didn’t expect Ge Dongxu to actually agree with his idea, and he couldn’t help but get excited.
"You are more like a Cheap Guest!" Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Not Cheap Guest, but Musketeer, the ’Sword’ from ’Precious Sword’," Cheng Le Hao corrected with all seriousness: "But, boss, is this really possible? I’m not joking with you. My dad always compares me to you. I know I’m leagues behind you, but he can’t keep looking down on me like this! Hehe, if I became the general manager of a company in college, darn it, just throwing a business card at him will be so awesome, he’d be totally stunned."
"I think it’s not mainly about flinging a business card at your dad, it’s about flinging it at the campus belle when you get to Guangdong University, right?" Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Hehe! Boss, you’re experienced. How come I didn’t think of that just now?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Le Hao immediately said with a lecherous face.
"Roll! Would I be as silly as you?" Seeing Cheng Le Hao’s lecherous look, Ge Dongxu couldn’t help but lift his foot and kick his butt again.
Cheng Le Hao exaggeratedly stumbled, then turned around, patted his butt, and ran to Ge Dongxu in a very subservient manner, saying, "Boss, I really want to do something serious. Do you really have the heart to watch me continue in this degenerate way?"
"Le Hao, let me tell you, if we really start a company, it certainly won’t be for you to play games or to deceive girls. If that were the case, you’d be better off playing your games, reading your novels, and sleeping in. After all, your dad’s rich now; he can support you without a care for the rest of your life," Ge Dongxu suddenly said seriously.
"Darn it, boss, you really look down on me too much. Don’t judge me by my weight or think that I only want to play games, read novels, and sleep in. That’s because I haven’t been given a stage or an opportunity to showcase my talent. In fact, I am also an ambitious and idealistic person. But think about it, our family had so little money before, I wouldn’t have even dared to dream of starting a business. Now that we have money, do you think my dad would agree to give me money to start a company now? So, as long as you’re willing to invest, I, Cheng Le Hao, will definitely be serious about it!" Cheng Le Hao immediately jumped up and said.

"Alright, these are your own words. Yifan, what do you think? If you think it’s feasible, we’ll set up a company. Le Hao and I will invest money for shares, and you will join with your technical skills, each owning one-third," Ge Dongxu first said to Cheng Le Hao, then turned to Du Yifan, speaking with a serious face.
"Of course, I think it’s a great idea, but I’m worried my technical abilities won’t be good enough..." Du Yifan, seeing Ge Dongxu was serious about investing in a company, immediately became anxious again.
"I believe in your abilities, even if they aren’t quite there yet, but in the future you’re definitely going to be a top figure in the computer industry. Plus, once the company is established, you’ll certainly need to gradually recruit people in this field. You can’t rely on yourself forever; your role is as both the technical director and the spirit of the company. Moreover, my business focus isn’t on the computer company right now. The investment here is minor, and even if it loses money, it won’t affect me at all. You don’t need to feel any psychological pressure," Ge Dongxu said with a smile, waving his hand to stop Du Yifan before he could finish speaking.
"Thank you, Boss. I will definitely do my best! I don’t want shares; if we really make money later, just pay me a higher salary," Du Yifan said, deeply touched by Ge Dongxu’s way of nurturing him to go further in the field of computers.
"Hehe, what’s yours is yours, and you don’t need to argue with me about that," Ge Dongxu said, patting Du Yifan on the shoulder.
"Right, we’re all brothers; it doesn’t make sense for us to be bosses while you just work for us," Cheng Le Hao chimed in.
After speaking, Cheng Le Hao looked at Ge Dongxu with a flattering smile and asked, "Boss, how much are you planning to invest? If it’s just tens of thousands, I could manage to come up with that now, but if it’s hundreds of thousands, that would be beyond me. Either lend it to me first or talk to my dad. If you speak up, he’ll agree without a second thought."
"Opening an internet café costs at least several hundred thousand now, and since Yifan is studying in Beijing, the company will have to be based there; just the office building’s rent for a year will be a lot, not to mention the salaries of the staff. Since it’s high-tech, the salaries will definitely be high. A few hundred thousand won’t be enough! Moreover, companies in this high-tech industry, as far as I understand, tend to burn through cash at the beginning, so we need to prepare at least seven or eight million initially, then adjust according to the specific development situation. I plan to set aside about one billion for the next two years as subsequent funding for the company," Ge Dongxu replied.

On hearing this, Cheng Le Hao truly stumbled, nearly crashing down onto the road, and Du Yifan wasn’t much better off.
Neither of them could snap back to reality for quite a while.
It couldn’t be helped; they were just high school graduates. There was no need to talk about Du Yifan, who came from an average family and was using a computer bought for him by Ge Dongxu. The computer he used before was one he had gotten by working in an internet café during summer break, persuading the owner to give it to him instead of a salary, a broken-down desktop which he then fixed and made do with.
A few tens of thousands was already a substantial amount for him, and hundreds of thousands, let alone millions, were astronomical figures in his mind.
Yet Ge Dongxu casually mentioned that he planned to set aside about one billion for additional funding in the next two years, which scared Du Yifan so much that his heart nearly stopped beating.
Cheng Le Hao’s family was certainly many times better off than Du Yifan’s, but the problem was he was still a student, and Cheng Yazhou kept a tight rein on his spending. Coming up with tens of thousands might be feasible, but hundreds of thousands were out of the question.
As for seven or eight million, that was beyond what Cheng Le Hao could even consider.
And when it came to one billion, the figure made Cheng Le Hao’s brain go completely blank.
ps: In the holiday mood, so that’s it for today. Please forgive me.
