Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: A Sum of Money
Finally, Du Jun offered ten million yuan, which was fair to Gu Fan, and Boss Ding did not object, as it was Gu Fan’s merit that the company had resurrected from near demise several times.
Upon hearing the price, Gu Fan was tempted; it truly was a fair and conscientious price, so he promptly agreed.
Du Jun nodded, "Gu Fan, this is all I can do for you. We were classmates once, and I hope you won’t hate me."
"Why would I? I can’t thank you enough," Gu Fan said, turning his worries into joy. He quickly signed the agreement and then walked away from here with a light step, saying goodbye forever.
Watching Gu Fan’s retreating figure without a hint of dejection, Boss Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought we were going to have a huge fallout, creating a scene, but it ended so smoothly."
With a bitter smile, Du Jun said, "Boss Ding, you don’t understand Gu Fan well enough. This guy, once he’s committed to this field, will never back down easily, and after this experience, he’s bound to have new ideas, right?"
Meanwhile, in the elevator, as Gu Fan pressed the floor he wanted to go to and the doors closed, he could hardly control the excitement within him, almost bursting out shouting.
Ten million yuan, he couldn’t believe he had earned so much money just a few years after graduating. Along with that old house, as long as Gu Fan didn’t squander it, he could live without working, without worries about food or clothing.
But Gu Fan was always Gu Fan, and he couldn’t settle for living comfortably. He already had plans on how to spend the money.
This time, Gu Fan was kicked out of the company, just because he was a minor shareholder without a say. It wasn’t truly his company, so Gu Fan didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging, and thus, losing it didn’t matter much.
The lesson learned made Gu Fan realize the importance of having his own company, enabling him to do things his way, so he decided to use the ten million yuan to start a company.
Just stepping out of the elevator, Gu Fan’s mind had already started envisioning a grand blueprint of how he wanted to shape the company.
Upon arriving home, everyone was in the living room, and Gu Fan merely greeted them before dashing up the stairs, leaving everyone quite puzzled.
Gu Ling was curious, "What’s wrong with brother? He rushed off as if he couldn’t hold it in."
"Seeing how excited he is, I’ll bet it’s something important," Su Hui had just finished speaking when she noticed the meaningful glances from Gu Fan’s parents, which made her feel awkward.
Gu Fan went to his room, shut the door, turned on his computer, and began researching how to register a company, its nature, and the responsibilities involved.
After a night of diligent study, Gu Fan had learned quite a bit about starting a company, realizing there were many pitfalls, especially in legal matters. One must be very careful because a small oversight could lead to ruin.
Gu Fan once read online, "Don’t fear billionaires’ sons squandering money, fear them starting businesses, because while squandering can hardly erase billions, starting a business can quickly bankrupt them."
The more he learned, the more worried and hesitant he became. The initial excitement and enthusiasm Gu Fan felt when starting a business faded a lot, replaced by calmness.
The cruelty of entrepreneurship was far more terrifying than Gu Fan had imagined. It was already impressive if one in ten succeeded, and among those who succeeded, it was remarkable if even one could persist for five years. As for those who succeeded and persisted for five years and then managed to grow and strengthen their business, that was truly one in ten thousand.
Gu Fan fell into deep thought, pondering whether to live comfortably with ten million yuan or to take a gamble on starting a business.
The answer came quickly. Gu Fan was young, full of vigor, spirit, and drive; complacency was not suitable for him. Thus, he chose to start a business. However, investing ten million yuan all at once was too aggressive and risky, so Gu Fan decided to invest five hundred yuan to see if he was really cut out for it.
So Gu Fan began to plan again. The business direction of the company would definitely be the same as Boss Ding’s, which was also something Gu Fan enjoyed doing. As for the company’s name, considering the off chance it took off and became strong, the name had to be catchy.
Just as Gu Fan was scratching his head and couldn’t think of a good name, suddenly the door was knocked on, and Gu Ling’s voice rang out, "Brother, hurry up, Mom and Dad are calling you to eat. You’re grown up and still need someone to call you when it’s mealtime."
Hearing this, Gu Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and he quickly responded.
When Gu Fan walked downstairs and saw a table full of delicious food, just the smell of the dishes made it seem like his taste buds were awakened by these flavorful dishes, making him exclaim that children with Moms are like treasures.
However, when Gu Fan sat down and tried to pick up a piece of braised pork that looked delicious, Gu Fan’s mother unexpectedly gave it to Su Hui instead, all smiles as she urged Su Hui to eat more.
Gu Fan was puzzled, "Mom, what are you doing? We are your children."
"She is a guest, we must show some hospitality," Gu Fan’s mother said righteously, then continued to serve Su Hui some more dishes.
Gu Fan protested, "Mom, she’s been living here longer than us, she doesn’t count as a guest anymore."
"Mind your own business, this old house is still in your dad’s name, he listens to me, and I say a guest is a guest," Gu Fan’s mother retorted, and with that, Gu Fan’s appetite plummeted.
Never mind that, let’s change the subject, Gu Chuanshan then asked, "Gu Fan, you just rushed upstairs and then locked yourself in your room, did something happen?"
"That’s more like it, that’s what you as parents should be doing, taking good care of your children..." Gu Fan hadn’t finished speaking when he was met with eye rolls of warning from everyone at the table.
Gu Fan immediately got to the point and mentioned that he had sold his stake in his previous company, earning ten million, and then planned to start his own company.
Upon hearing that Gu Fan had ten million, Gu Ling immediately showed the proper behavior of a sweet younger sister, thinking Gu Fan couldn’t possibly spend so much money on his own. She felt it necessary to share the burdens of wealth with Gu Fan, thinking of all the things she could get him to buy for her.
Su Hui was even more excited, "Since you’re so rich now, Gu Fan, that little bit of rent from me probably doesn’t matter to you, right? Just waive it for a hundred years."
Gu Fan’s parents unanimously opposed, thinking that instead of Gu Fan wasting money on starting a company, they should be the ones to take the money and start a business.
"What’s this all about?" Gu Fan was really fed up with these people. Instead of thinking about helping or supporting, they were just thinking about how to take the most advantage of him. Indeed, they were his own family, stating their true intentions outright.
