Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 635 Zhanbo's makeshift team

Looking at Zhanbo in front of him, Lin's father felt a mix of emotions.

Despite his ridiculously high standards for choosing a son-in-law, his bottom line isn't actually that unreasonable.

As long as the two people like each other, have common ground, the man has sound values, is not unfaithful or cheating, is good to his daughter, can stand up for Wanyu when things happen, has a certain ambition, doesn't have any bad habits, has simple family relationships, and his parents and relatives are considered normal people.

As for the remaining aspects such as appearance, physique, and intelligence, as long as they are not excessively low, it's fine.

Honestly, if his daughter could decide for herself which boyfriend to choose, he definitely wouldn't have chosen this silly goose, but this guy just happened to be right on his bottom line.

This feeling of being stuck in a rut was really making him feel bad.

He looked at Zhanbo in front of him, knowing full well that the other man really wanted a word of approval from him, but he was unwilling to say it out loud.

So Lin's father changed the subject again and brought up the topic of starting a business again.

"Zhanbo, actually, when I talked about my own entrepreneurial experience, I was not only reminiscing about the past, but also trying to remind you that the risks of starting a business are still very high."

"If it weren't for some money in my family, my first business venture would have been enough to ruin my entire life."

"Therefore, starting a business requires extreme caution, especially..."

He looked Zhanbo up and down, scrutinizing him from every angle, but couldn't figure out that this dimwit was the kind of person who could do business.

Lin's father had his blunt words on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he still said it tactfully: "Especially for Zhanbo, this is your first time starting a business on your own, and you don't have any seniors to guide you. You don't have any relevant experience at all."

He paused, then continued, "And while your family's financial situation is fairly good, it doesn't seem like they could support you in starting a business of this scale."

When it came to business matters, Lin's father became noticeably more serious.

He had changed from his previous warm smile, and now exuded an air of authority that commanded respect without anger.

"If you don't mind my presumption, Uncle, then I'll ask a few questions."

Before Zhanbo could answer, Lin's father continued asking, "Where did your startup capital come from? Who were the initial team members? What is the company's main business?"

"How are job responsibilities and organizational structure considered? Has the company's future development direction been planned? Has the direction for the first project been found? How is the shareholding allocation determined...?"

Lin's father bombarded Zhanbo with questions in rapid succession, leaving him dizzy and disoriented. Ziqiao and Meijia, in particular, felt their eyelids grow heavy and began to doze off.

After Lin's father finished asking all his questions, Zhanbo, having regained his senses, answered them in detail, relying on his amazing memory.

Frankly speaking, it was rather inappropriate for Lin's father, as an elder he was meeting for the first time, to ask so many questions about Zhanbo's business venture, even inquiring about the equity distribution.

From another perspective, as a senior figure with extensive experience in both entrepreneurship and management, Lin's father's willingness to ask so many questions is not only to test Zhanbo, but also a form of mentorship.

After all, not everyone's startup plan can have a Fortune 500 executive helping to oversee it.

As Zhanbo recounted his story, Lin's father's expression finally showed a noticeable change.

He frowned, his face slightly grim, clearly dissatisfied with Zhanbo's answer.

"Nonsense."

Lin's father's low rebuke made Zhanbo's heart tighten. Ziqiao and Meijia, who were dozing off nearby, vaguely heard Lin's father's words "nonsense" and were startled awake.

Seriously? They only slept for a little while, and Zhanbo has already completely messed up?

At this moment, Lin's father's opinion of Zhanbo changed from that of a simpleton to that of a naive fool.

To be fair, Zhanbo's business plan is actually quite sound; in fact, his ideas and plans are better and more mature than what he had when he was younger.

However, in the eyes of Lin's father, a seasoned shrewd businessman, Zhanbo's idea of ​​"since he is not good at many things, he should hand over the things he is not good at to people who are good at them" was too naive and childish.

Starting a business is a very serious matter. It's not like a group of friends getting together to play role-playing games, where everyone just does their job and the company grows bigger and stronger.

It's well known that starting a business with friends is a taboo in the business world. Not to mention good friends, even brothers and fathers and sons can turn against each other and become bitter enemies when faced with huge profits.

Unless it's a small family-run workshop, friends and relatives should try to avoid any business-related transactions involving entrepreneurship or business.

If it were just friends investing in and starting a business together, that would be one thing, but the company's structure and division of authority are absolutely rotten.

Nanfeng was responsible for providing the investment, while Zhao Wuliang, as the second-in-command, was responsible for management and assisting Zhanbo's research and development, taking full control of the company's operations, and conducting precise analysis, evaluation, and forecasting of the market environment.

It sounds like everyone is doing their job, but for Zhanbo, the top leader, it's equivalent to him voluntarily handing over financial, management, and operational power.

To give a simple example, if an emperor cannot control the money in the national treasury and gives others the power to review memorials and appoint civil and military officials, then he becomes an empty shell emperor in a constitutional monarchy.

Zhanbo's company is still just a makeshift operation, but everyone is united, and it does seem peaceful and thriving.

But once the company grows bigger and stronger, even if we don't talk about them fighting to the death over money, the fact that their development philosophies diverge will inevitably lead to its eventual disintegration.

Putting everything else aside, Zhao Wuliang and Dali, who are in charge of management and operations, will have plenty of ways to kick out Zhanbo, who is all alone.

In Lin's father's view, this kind of company was destined to have a short lifespan, or rather, for Zhanbo, it was destined to have a short lifespan.

If his partners are decent, Zhanbo can sell his shares and retire. But if they don't even care about being decent, Zhanbo might end up taking over a heavily indebted shell company.

If such a makeshift team wants to continue smoothly, grow bigger and stronger, and thrive... it would require Zhanbo's three partners to be truly willing to continue supporting him and helping him achieve his dreams.

It's not that this possibility is nonexistent, but it's a bit too idealistic and utopian.

After Lin's father patiently broke down and explained the key points to Zhanbo, he said in a deep voice, "Now do you know how naive your idea is?"

Zhanbo scratched his head, his lips moving slightly. He seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to utter a sound.

Seeing this, Lin's father frowned even more. He felt that his idea was not wrong and that his thoughts were for Zhanbo's good, but Zhanbo seemed not to appreciate it.

He even said that if Zhanbo weren't his daughter's boyfriend, he wouldn't have had the time to think about the future of a makeshift troupe.

He knew that young people had their own ideas, but he couldn't understand why they were all like that.

Wanyu is like this, and Zhanbo in front of her is still like this.

There was clearly a direct path to heaven for them to take, but they chose to take that incomprehensible road instead.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming tense, Ziqiao and Meijia knew that they had to help.

Let's see how these two make their moves and stage a spectacular comeback.

Uncle~~~

Meijia smiled sweetly, deciding to first build a relationship with Wanyu's father: "Uncle, you may not know, but Wanyu often talks about you to us. We all admire you so much."

"Yeah?"

Lin's father asked directly, "Then tell me, what's my name?"

"Forehead……"

Meijia was stunned. She realized that she really didn't know Wanyu's father's name.

Helpless, she could only force a smile and say to Lin's father's teasing gaze, "Wanyu didn't mention that."

Actually, as long as the children don't do anything stupid, Lin's father quite likes to tease these silly younger generation. He asked again, "My name is on Baidu Encyclopedia. If you really admire me, you can find it by simply searching online."

"Now that you don't even know my name, it seems your admiration for me is quite limited."

"Forehead……"

Mika was speechless once again.

She picked up an orange from the coffee table, smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened, and stuffed the orange into Lin's father's hand.

"Uncle, have some oranges."

When Zhanbo saw that Meijia actually dared to hand Wanyu's father an orange from 3601, he was so shocked that his eyelids twitched.

Ziqiao and Meijia might not know, but he clearly remembered that his older sister bought the oranges after the Brave Adventure ended, and then... none of the many people in the apartment liked to eat oranges.

That means this thing has been sitting on the coffee table for at least a year!

Lin's father was teasing Wan Jia and was about to peel the orange to taste it when suddenly he felt a blur before his eyes and the orange in his hand disappeared.

Snapped!

Zhanbo snatched the orange from Lin's father's hand with lightning speed and threw it into the trash can right in front of him without saying a word.

Lin's father was stunned, and his face gradually darkened.

What does that mean?

What does this mean?!

I'm coming
