Zhou Hao lacked understanding of the investment banking circle, and it was simply impossible for him to get to know the elites in this industry in a short period of time. However, when Zhou Hao announced that Haobo Technology had financing needs, he no longer worried about how to get in touch with the elites in the investment banking circle, because the elites in the investment banking circle were now racking their brains to contact him.

For well-known venture capital companies at home and abroad, Haobo Technology has always been the target they have been trying to pursue, and it is also the company they most want to invest in in China's Internet field. However, Zhou Hao has hardly ever accepted investment from any venture capital company. Major venture capital companies such as Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, Warburg Pincus, and Carlyle are all eager to invest in Haobo Technology and take advantage of Zhou Hao's express train to make money.

Now Haobo Technology is rumored to be raising funds, and the news from Shen Haoshun is highly credible, so venture capital companies at home and abroad are trying to contact Zhou Hao and try to meet with him to discuss the possibility of Haobo Technology's C round.

As soon as the news came out, Lu Yatong received meeting requests from major venture capital companies. She didn't know about Zhou Hao's dirty tricks and was a little confused.

Zhou Hao smiled and explained to her: "The company is going to set up an investment department. I want to find some talents in the investment banking circle, so I came up with an idea. Borrowing arrows from a straw boat. Please help me sort out the contact persons of all the venture capital companies that have come to me. The more detailed the better."

Lu Yatong immediately understood Zhou Hao's intention and said with a smile: "Your trick is too mean. I think they are all in very high positions, at least VP-level executives."

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Please help me sort out the positions, and I will slowly select them later."

"Ok."

After Zhou Hao hung up the phone with Lu Yatong, Luo Yu also stood up and said goodbye, "Mr. Zhou, I have something else to do and I'll leave first. I'll call you tomorrow in advance."

Zhou Hao said: "Tomorrow you can ask them to come to Haobo Technology to find me directly."

Luo Yu nodded and said, "As for bodyguards, you should also pay attention to them. You have helped Chen Qi so much, the Chen family will definitely not refuse this small favor. With your current status, you must also quickly do a good job of security."

Zhou Hao agreed and watched him leave the box.

Zhou Hao thought about it in the teahouse box and felt that it was inappropriate to call Chen Qi. She was still young and innocent. It would be better to ask Chen Lan for this kind of thing. So Zhou Hao called Chen Lan to ask her to have dinner together and mentioned his needs. However, thinking that she was Ye Shao's girlfriend, he called Ye Shao again.

However, when Zhou Hao called Ye Shao, he got straight to the point and said, "Old Ye, I heard that Chen Lan's family has connections in the army, and I want to ask her for help to find a few reliable veterans to be my bodyguards. Do you think it's okay?"

Ye Shao didn't even think about it and said directly: "Of course, her grandfather is of a very high rank. The key is that her uncle is in charge of a special forces unit. The soldiers who retire from here every year are the objects of competition among the rich. The resources are limited and it is difficult to find them outside. If you ask her for help, you can directly get the appointment."

Zhou Hao said: "Okay, I'll ask her out for dinner and chat, you can come over too."

Ye Shao smiled and agreed.

Zhou Hao didn't tell Chen Lan anything on the phone. He just asked her to have dinner with Ye Shao and asked her for help with something. Chen Lan didn't ask much, so Zhou Hao directly asked them to have dinner together tonight.

Ever since Chen Qi's scandal in Hong Kong was successfully resolved, Chen Lan has always wanted to invite Zhou Hao to his home for dinner and express his gratitude in person. After all, Zhou Hao has always taken good care of Chen Qi.

In the evening, Ye Shao arrived first and Chen Lan arrived last.

Zhou Hao and Chen Qi chatted for a while before Chen Qi hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, he apologized, "Sorry, the traffic jam was so bad. You two arrived early, right?"

Zhou Hao smiled and pointed at the pot of white chrysanthemum tea on the dining table and said, "We just sat down and drank a few sips of tea."

Ye Shao glanced at Zhou Hao jokingly. This pot of tea had been filled three times, but Chen Shao did not point it out. Instead, he smiled and said to Chen Lan, "I'm stuck in traffic too. Let's go one after the other."

Chen Lan nodded and said with a smile: "Next time you guys make a dinner date, make it closer to me."

Zhou Hao smiled and nodded: "My negligence."

Chen Lan smiled and asked him, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about? If you need any help, just tell me. I owe you a lot of favors. Please give me a chance."

Zhou Hao said, "It's like this. I've made a little money. You know, I feel uneasy when I have more money in my pocket. I want to find some bodyguards so that I can sleep peacefully."

Chen Lan looked at Zhou Hao with disdain: "You call this making a little money? Even my dad said that you are the fastest self-made person he has ever seen. How old are you and you are already a billionaire?"

Ye Shao smiled and said, "Isn't Zhou Hao being modest? Give us some face. Stop undermining others and get down to business. Let your uncle take care of the bodyguard issue."

Chen Lan smiled and stopped teasing Zhou Hao. He said seriously, "If you want to find a good bodyguard, we can always provide one. But if you want to find a top soldier who retired from the special forces, you have to wait until the end of November. They have strict regulations on the number of people and age. They will leave a few good ones for you by then."

Chen Ze looked at Chen Lan and said, "Isn't the end of November a bit late? There are still four months to go. If something goes wrong with our CEO Zhou during this period, who can afford it?"

Chen Lan nodded seriously, "You're right. Mr. Zhou's safety is a big deal. If anything happens to him, it will be a loss for the entire China! So when I go back, I will help Mr. Zhou communicate and coordinate, and see if I can transfer a few people to Mr. Zhou first!"

The two of them sang in unison like they were performing a crosstalk, teasing Zhou Hao. Zhou Hao didn't care. When he heard Chen Lan say that he could transfer some people out first, he immediately became interested.

"Why, this... can also be adjusted first?"

Chen Lan and Ye Shao looked at Zhou Hao as if he were a fool. It was Ye Shao who spoke first: "Everything depends on two words: operation. If you operate well, you can use the plane."

Zhou Hao couldn't help but ask: "How to operate?"

Ye Shao said: "The simplest thing is for you to show some appreciation first."

Zhou Hao asked curiously: "What's the meaning?"

Ye Shao said: "We should engage in joint military-civilian construction! It would be best if we could be rated as an advanced unit supporting the military and caring for the families of soldiers. If you do well, it will be no problem to send a few people to protect you."

Zhou Hao asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Tell me..."

Seeing Zhou Hao's serious expression, Chen Lan hurriedly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. If others want to do this, they have to do it according to what he says. You don't have to worry about it. I will help you solve it in the next few days."

Zhou Hao felt that if this kind of thing could be solved with money, then he would pay without hesitation. To him, the easiest thing to do was to solve it with money, so there was no need for Chen Lan to make more efforts.

Chen Lan nodded and said, "It's actually what Ye Shao said just now. To do the "Double Support" or the joint construction between the military and the people, you will get what you put in. Although it doesn't conform to the procedures, it is also natural. As for how to do the "Double Support" and the joint construction, it's actually just donating money and materials, or providing jobs for military families, but donating money and materials is actually not very meaningful."

Zhou Hao said: "I am not in the business world, and it is not easy to provide employment for a large number of military dependents. I can set up a double support fund for the special forces."

Zhou Hao went on to explain: "Special forces will certainly have disabled or even sacrificed soldiers. If they are the families of the sacrificed soldiers, the Double Support Fund will give them a monthly living allowance based on the local average wage standard and the number of their immediate family members. If they have children studying, the Fund will guarantee full support for their education until they graduate from college, including tuition and living expenses. If they are disabled soldiers, the Fund will provide a certain amount of living and medical subsidies based on the degree of disability to solve their living and rehabilitation problems. I think this is more practical."

Chen Lan also felt that Zhou Hao's idea was very good and the entry point was very well chosen. No matter how perfect the national policies and military policies were, it would be impossible to provide adequate care for the relatives of fallen soldiers and disabled soldiers. If Zhou Hao could accomplish this, he would indeed have done something very important for the special forces. More importantly, Zhou Hao would need special forces soldiers or veterans to protect his personal safety in the future. If he set up such a fund, it would also increase the special forces soldiers' favorability towards him.

So Chen Lan said to Zhou Hao: "Well, I'll go back and talk to my family tonight. There will be no problem with this matter. I promise you."

Zhou Hao nodded and said, "I will think carefully about the specific implementation procedures of the fund when I get back, and try to come up with a more complete plan."

……

After dinner, Chen Lan drove back home. The whole family was watching TV in the living room. Chen Lan joined them when he came back. After the TV show that grandpa and grandma loved to watch was over, Chen Lan talked about what happened tonight. "I had dinner with Zhou Hao tonight. He asked me to help him."

The whole family was attracted by Chen Lan's words. Chen Lan's father Chen Wenbin asked, "What does he want you to help with?"

Chen Lan said: "Zhou Hao wants to find a few bodyguards from the special forces brigade."

Chen Wenbin nodded and said to his wife, "Tell my eldest brother about it and ask him to help. Zhou Hao has taken such good care of Xiaoqi, so we should also show our appreciation."

Chen Lan's mother actually thought the same thing, so she said without hesitation: "I'll call my eldest brother later."

Chen Lan said hurriedly: "By the way, Zhou Hao wants to set up a fund for the special forces."

"Fund?" Chen Wenbin frowned, looking confused.

Chen Lan told his family about Zhou Hao's views and his general idea about the fund. After that, Chen Lan's grandfather clapped his hands and praised: "This kid is really good! No matter what his purpose is, he can think of this level, which is very precious!"

Chen Wenbin shared the same view. He could not find any fault with Zhou Hao, and he constantly refreshed his own cognition and the height in his own eyes. His impression of Zhou Hao became better and better. "Zhou Hao is not short of this little money, and he is willing to do something practical. This is a good thing. Wife, you can talk to my brother about it. I believe he will be very happy too."

Chen Qi's mother nodded, stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, you guys chat, I'll make a phone call."
