Chapter 593: Failed to Snatch It?
Seeing Chen Fan remain silent for a long time, Li Tongtong thought Chen Fan was going to give up.
"Welcome next time... Huh?"
Li Tongtong doubted if she had heard wrong.
"Sir, are you... are you saying you want to buy this house?"
Chen Fan nodded, "Yes."
Li Tongtong's expression was very interesting, but she quickly composed herself.
"Sir, are you... taking out a loan or paying in full?"
"Full payment!"
Li Tongtong gasped again.
She had misjudged him.
Chen Fan then asked: "There should be a discount for full payment, right?"
Li Tongtong nodded quickly: "Yes... yes, if you pay in full, our company will give you a 2% discount."
This discount was quite good.
Chen Fan nodded.
"Then let's sign the contract."
Li Tongtong's eyes widened, "You... don't you want to take a look around, and check out the surrounding facilities and environment?"
"No need."
Chen Fan shook his head, "I'm a bit pressed for time, please hurry."
"Oh, oh, alright, please wait a moment."
Li Tongtong quickly turned and excitedly ran towards the manager's office.
In fact, it was just that simple.
Sign the contract, transfer the down payment to the company's designated account, then sign the purchase order, housing contract and supplementary agreement.
Finally, Chen Fan spent a bit more money to buy 6 parking spaces, 3 above ground and 3 underground.
By the time everything was done, it hadn't even been an hour.
Respectfully seeing Chen Fan out of the sales office, watching the two get in the car and leave, Li Tongtong still felt like it was all a dream.
This was the first time she had seen someone buy a house like this.
So this is how rich people buy houses, it's so simple.
Back at the sales office, a group of colleagues all gathered around.
"Xiao Li, how was it? Did you close the deal?"
Li Tongtong's face flushed red as she nodded: "I just signed the contract with the manager in the office."
"Hiss..."
The group all gasped.
"We misjudged him."
"Ah, if only I had gone to receive them."
"Xiao Li really caught a big break this time."
"Xiao Li, you have to treat us tonight..."
Hearing her colleagues' congratulations, Li Tongtong felt a bit light-headed, but she quickly came back to her senses.
Oh no, she forgot to ask his name.
She didn't even get his contact information, though the manager should have it. Should she go ask the manager for it?
That young man was so young, yet so rich, and handsome to boot. If she had been a bit more proactive, maybe in the future...
Oh my, what are you thinking, Li Tongtong?
After staying in Beijing for two days, Chen Fan was ready to head back.
Before leaving, he had Feng Pojun drive him to the supermarket to buy a large amount of snacks and daily necessities, all of which were sent to Su Ruochu's dormitory.
"I know you don't like to spend money usually, these should last you for a while."
Su Ruochu looked at the trunk full of shopping bags, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Are you trying to stuff me to death? I can't eat all this."
Chen Fan smiled: "If you can't finish it all, just eat it slowly."
"It will expire."
"It's fine, you can share with your roommates and classmates."
Chen Fan reminded her with a smile: "It's good to build good relationships with your classmates, it will benefit you."
"Also, don't be too naive in your daily life. Be a bit cautious when interacting with people, don't say everything, you need to be on guard."
Chen Fan gently held Su Ruochu's small hand.
"I'm not in Beijing, so you need to learn to take care of yourself. If you ever have any trouble, remember to call me immediately. No matter where I am in the world, I'll come right away."
Su Ruochu felt a warmth in her heart as she gently leaned into Chen Fan's embrace.
"You always treat me like a child."
Chen Fan smiled as he played with Su Ruochu's delicate hand.
"In my eyes, you'll always be that innocent girl in the white dress passing by the classroom window in the hallway from back then."
...
At 8:30 pm, after having dinner with Su Ruochu, Chen Fan took a car straight to the airport.
After parking the car in the parking lot outside the airport, before boarding the plane, Chen Fan sent a text message to Nalan Wan'er. He told her the parking location and expressed his thanks.
Just as Chen Fan and Feng Pojun had taken their seats on the plane, he received a reply from Nalan Wan'er.
"You're welcome."
Just three simple words, very much in line with that girl's aloof persona.
Chen Fan smiled and turned off his phone. Fifteen minutes later, the plane soared into the clouds, flying towards Yunhai.
The next day, Chen Fan received a call from Liang Shichu and drove to Feifan Technology.
This was his first time coming to Feifan Technology since his injury.
It had to be said, Liang Shichu was truly a management talent.
Even without Chen Fan around, Liang Shichu had managed the company very well on his own. Most importantly, he also understood technology, making him an invaluable technical talent.
In the office, Liang Shichu privately reported to Chen Fan on the company's latest progress.
According to Chen Fan's arrangements, the company's first mobile browser version 1.0, which was currently under development, had already undergone multiple internal tests and was ready for release.
Chen Fan tried out this browser in the office.
To be honest, all the basic functions were already very complete, and the various requirements Chen Fan had previously proposed had been implemented by the engineers as much as possible.
If Chen Fan were to give a score, he would give this new product 85 points.
It was already ready for market.
After all, even if there were still some minor flaws, they could be fixed with subsequent updates.
Seeing that Chen Fan's expression showed no displeasure after trying it out, Liang Shichu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think it's about ready, we can prepare to launch it online."
Liang Shichu smiled: "For this product, the company's colleagues have been working day and night for nearly a year."
Chen Fan also smiled: "Everyone has worked hard. When the product launches, I'll give everyone a bonus."
"Then on behalf of all colleagues, I thank the boss," Liang Shichu joked, then asked: "In your opinion, when would be suitable to launch?"
Chen Fan thought for a moment and asked: "The UC mobile browser should be out already, right?"
Liang Shichu's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded a bit awkwardly.
"Yes. They launched UC mobile browser version 1.0 last month."
"Boss, I'm very sorry. I didn't meet the time requirement you set initially."
In fact, when Liang Shichu saw the UC mobile browser appear last month, he was completely stunned.
He never imagined that someone else was researching the same product as Feifan Technology. And they even launched first.
But Liang Shichu quickly realized something.
He thought back to his negotiation with Chen Fan last year.
At the time, Chen Fan had clearly required that they could put the video software development work on hold and focus on developing the mobile browser first.
Moreover, Chen Fan required that it must be launched online before August 2004.
Thinking back now, Liang Shichu felt a chill run down his spine.
It turned out the boss was the one planning to snatch it.
He figured the boss must have learned through some channel that others were developing this mobile browser, so he planned to snatch it and launch first.
Unfortunately, he as the manager wasn't up to the task, and they ended up being a step too late.
So today Liang Shichu actually felt very guilty, feeling he had failed Chen Fan's trust.
Sitting opposite him, Chen Fan didn't seem angry at all.
He smiled and poured Liang Shichu a cup of tea.
"There's nothing to be dejected about. We can't have all the good things."
"Besides, they only launched less than a month before us, it's not a big deal."
"Old Liang, let me ask you, you must have seen their product too, how do you think it compares to ours?"
