Chapter 333 The Career Has Begun
Li Menghan sat in a taxi and returned to Beichen Garden residential area.
He got out of the car and took the elevator home.
He pushed open the door and went straight to the sofa in the living room to sit down.
He took out his phone and opened the bank's app.
He looked at the balance of over 900 million in his account and was in a very good mood.
He found the bank account number that Wang Lei had just sent him.
Without any hesitation, Li Menghan entered the number 20 million and pressed the transfer button.
The system indicated that the transfer was successful.
Twenty million was transferred out just like that.
Less than a minute later.
Li Menghan's phone rang.
It was Wang Lei calling.
Li Menghan pressed the answer button, and Wang Lei's very excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Boss Li! I've received the money! A full twenty million!"
Wang Lei's voice was very loud and he sounded very happy.
"Boss Li, you're so generous! Don't worry, with this money, our company will be up and running again right away!"
"I'll contact them about renting an office right now. Give me a day, and I guarantee I'll have the office space all sorted out by tomorrow!"
"We want to rent the most luxurious office building in the city!"
Li Menghan listened to Wang Lei's words and nodded in satisfaction.
He said into the phone:
"Okay, go ahead and do it. Contact me anytime if you need more money. But you have to be quick."
Wang Lei readily agreed over the phone:
"No problem! Mr. Li, just wait for my good news!"
The phone hangs up.
Li Menghan placed her phone on the table.
At this moment, Li Mengli came out of her room.
She walked into the living room and looked at Li Menghan sitting on the sofa.
She asked:
"Who were you talking to just now? What 20 million? What boss?"
Li Menghan looked at his sister and stood up.
He is now very eager to show his plans to others.
He loudly told Li Mengli:
"Sis, I just transferred 20 million to someone."
"I invested in a really amazing project, and now I'm a boss!"
Li Mengli frowned when she heard this.
She walked up to Li Menghan and asked earnestly:
"What projects did you invest in? Who did you give 20 million to?"
Li Menghan answered with great pride:
"I invested in a large AI model project."
"He's a senior at our school, named Wang Lei. He has a very professional team, but they're short of money. I gave him 20 million yuan, and we started a company together."
"This project will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
After hearing Li Menghan's words, Li Mengli felt no joy at all.
She felt that something was very wrong.
She asked directly:
"AI big model? Do you even know what AI is?"
"Do you know anyone named Wang Lei? What experience does he have?"
"You just gave him twenty million like that? Were you scammed?"
When Li Menghan heard his sister say that he had been scammed, he immediately became unhappy.
He retorted loudly:
"How could I have been fooled! Senior Wang Lei showed me the business plan, which was written very clearly."
"They have core technology; as long as they have the money to buy computers and servers, they can make money immediately."
"You don't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense here."
Li Mengli looked at her younger brother and thought he was really too naive.
She stated very directly:
"Li Menghan, can you please use your brain?"
"Large-scale AI models require many top experts, many years, and investments of billions or tens of billions to create."
"You think a few junior college students, with your 20 million, can actually make this?"
"This is clearly a scam. They're just trying to cheat you out of your money because they see you have it."
Li Mengli then advised:
"Call that person right now and tell him to return your money. Tell him that if he doesn't, we'll call the police and have him arrested."
Li Menghan heard that his sister not only didn't support him, but also told him to go and get the money back.
He was very angry.
He felt that his sister, like his father, looked down on him.
Li Menghan said loudly to Li Mengli:
"I won't play! This money is for my own investment."
"You all think I can't do anything right. You all think I can only live off my father's money."
"I'm telling you, I'm going to succeed this time!"
"Just you wait and see. Once my company is up and running and I've made a fortune, I'll show you whether I've been scammed or not!"
After saying these words, Li Menghan didn't want to talk to her sister anymore.
He turned around and went straight back to his room.
He slammed the door shut.
Li Mengli stood in the living room, looking at the closed bedroom door.
She sighed helplessly.
She knew her brother's temper; now he wouldn't listen to anything she said.
She took out her phone, intending to call her father, Li Ze.
But then she thought about it. Her father was abroad, and he had said before that he wouldn't care about her younger brother as long as he wasn't in danger.
Maybe Dad just wanted his younger brother to suffer a loss and learn a lesson.
Li Mengli shook her head and went back to her room.
Li Menghan returned to her room.
He sat in the chair, still feeling resentful.
He felt that his judgment was correct.
He took out his phone, wanting to find someone to share his experience of starting a company.
He thought of Huo Qian.
Huo Qian's family is in big business, so she'll definitely understand him.
So, Li Menghan made a voice call to Huo Qian.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Menghan. What can I do for you?"
Huo Qian's voice came through the phone, sounding very gentle.
Li Menghan composed himself and said in a very happy tone:
"Huo Qian, I have something to tell you. I've started my own company."
"I just invested 20 million yuan in an AI large-scale model project. The office space will be ready by tomorrow."
Huo Qian was stunned when she heard the news on the other end of the phone.
She didn't praise Li Menghan immediately.
She asked very calmly:
"You've invested in large-scale AI models? Who are you working with on them?"
Li Menghan told Huo Qian everything about Wang Lei and their plans.
After he finished speaking, he said to Huo Qian:
"Look, I've already started doing business."
"By the way, Huo Qian. Our company is about to open, but I'm short-staffed."
"You know a lot of people. Could you help me find a reliable female student at my university to work in administration at my company?"
"I'll definitely offer her a high salary. Can you recommend her to me?"
Li Menghan waited expectantly for Huo Qian to agree to his request.
However, Huo Qian on the other end of the phone showed no intention of agreeing.
Huo Qian's voice became very serious.
She directly rejected Li Menghan.
She said:
"Menghan, I'm sorry. I can't recommend you."
Li Menghan was very surprised when he heard this.
he asked:
"Why? It's just to recommend a junior for an administrative job."
Huo Qian answered very directly:
"Because I think your project is completely unreliable."
"I share the same thought as your sister. Large-scale AI models are not something that can be created with just 20 million."
"I've heard of that guy named Wang Lei too. He always talks big at school, but he's never accomplished anything."
"Giving him 20 million is a complete waste of money."
Huo Qian paused for a moment, then continued:
"What if I recommend my junior to work at your company?"
"Your company has no real business; it's all nonsense."
"I estimate your company won't even last a month before it goes bankrupt."
"At that time, the junior I recommended will lose her job after only a few days and will have to find a new job."
"What I did was irresponsible towards that junior. How can I face her at school after this?"
"So I can't help you."
Li Menghan sat in the chair.
His face turned very red after hearing Huo Qian's words.
He felt that his self-esteem had been severely damaged.
Dad said his plan was naive.
My sister said he was scammed.
Now, even Huo Qian says his company can't continue operating and that he's just messing around.
Everyone thought he was no good.
Li Menghan clenched her fists.
He suppressed his anger and said into the phone:
"Fine. Since you're not willing to recommend it, then forget it."
"I will hire people myself."
After saying that, Li Menghan hung up the phone.
He threw his phone on the table.
He leaned back in his chair, panting heavily.
His heart was filled with rebellious emotions.
"None of you believe me, right!"
"You all think I'll be fooled, that I'll fail!"
"Okay! Then I'll show you!"
Li Menghan said loudly to herself in her heart.
He made up his mind; he was determined to make this company a success.
He urged Wang Lei to get the office space ready as soon as possible and to buy the equipment back quickly.
He wanted to get the company up and running immediately.
Wait until the company makes money.
He wanted to take the company's ledgers to show his sister and Huo Qian.
He wanted to let them know that he, Li Menghan, was truly capable.
He wasn't a good-for-nothing who could only live off his father's money.
the next morning.
Li Menghan got up very early.
He didn't even eat breakfast at home.
He went straight downstairs, got into his red Ferrari, and drove out the door.
He called Wang Lei to ask if he had found an office space yet.
Wang Lei said excitedly on the phone that he had found a very high-end office building.
Li Menghan drove directly to find Wang Lei.
He wanted to see that office for himself.
He wanted to get the company up and running as quickly as possible.
Li Menghan was driving on the road.
He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
His mind was completely occupied with company matters.
He arrived at the office building that Wang Lei had mentioned.
This is a very tall glass building in downtown Seoul.
Li Menghan parked her car in the underground garage.
He took the elevator to the 30th floor.
Wang Lei was already waiting for him at the elevator entrance.
When Wang Lei saw Li Menghan, he immediately came to greet her.
"Boss Li, you've arrived. Come with me and show me this office."
Wang Lei led Li Menghan into a very large room.
This room is several hundred square meters, and it contains desks, a meeting room, and the boss's private office.
The floor-to-ceiling windows are large, offering a direct view of the city scenery outside.
Li Menghan looked around and was very satisfied.
He turned to Wang Lei and said:
"This place is great. How much is the rent?"
Wang Lei quickly replied:
"The annual rent is two million. The landlord requires a one-year rent payment upfront."
Li Menghan nodded.
He took out his phone and said:
"Two million is no problem. Call the landlord over now, and we'll sign the contract immediately. I'll transfer the money to him directly."
Wang Lei nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Li. I'll call him over right away."
After signing the rental agreement.
Li Menghan said to Wang Lei:
"The office is ready. Go buy computers and those servers you mentioned right now."
"No matter the cost, buy the best."
"Then you should hurry up and recruit people, and find all the technical staff."
"I only have one requirement: speed. I want our company to start the project as quickly as possible."
Wang Lei loudly assured him:
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. As long as the funds are in place, I guarantee that all personnel and equipment will be in place within a week."
"Our large-scale AI model project can be launched soon."
Li Menghan listened and left the office building satisfied.
He got into his Ferrari.
He felt that his career had begun.
He was determined to show Huo Qian and his sister his success.
