Chapter 308

Carlisle answered Sean’s question with a smile.

Others usually took it step by step while doing business. But Carlisle had gone about a different route.

He had manufactured mobile phones and developed chips. He had also ventured into game account farming, game development, exploring the aquaculture Industry, and Alumni Network.

He had taken significant steps. But once he was successful, he would be at the top of the business world.

The downside was that any business needed a long time before reaping its profits. At that moment,

Life was short. Carlisle developed a deeper understanding of that fact, having had a second chance at

life.

But he did not intend to put all his energy into running his business. He only wanted to complete a few important matters. Then, he would spend time with his future wife and children, and Gordon and Hilda.

He did not want to have any regrets in his current life.

“That’s true. I almost wanted to share about our endeavors with my dad and see if he would still dare to

look down on us.

Sean awkwardly laughed.

During high school, he and Carlisle would frequent Internet cafes in secret. Rory had often said they

would not be successful in the future.

Rory finally only eased up when they were admitted to college.

On the first night at Riverland, Rory had even advised Sean to spend less time on the Internet once college had begun. Otherwise, it would be pointless for him to attend it.

While Sean was aware that Rory was purposefully trying to provoke him, he was still slightly resentful.

He and Carlisle now had started their own business and were making money. In fact, they were r large–scale business.

Sean didn’t know what Rory would think if he learned that Sean wanted to take a million dollars to start at

business.

“Oh, please. You’re talking as if that money is yours!”

Daniel did not like Sean’s boastful attitude and cast him a disdainful look.

Sean said disapprovingly, “What do you know? My friendship with Carl is not merely worth one million

dollars.”

Daniel scoffed.

“You’re just riding on someone’s coattails!”

“Hey, are you looking for a fight?”

Sean had lost his temper again. He glared furiously while roaring at Daniel.

Daniel yelled, “Let’s go outside and fight then!”

Carlisle slammed a hand against the table and icily said, “We’re all adults here. Can’t you all be more mature?”

Daniel hastily nodded.

“Exactly. This dude here is not mature at all.”

*Aren’t you the same?”

Carlisle glared at Daniel in annoyance.

Sean was only younger than Carlisle by a month. He had already turned 18 years old in March.

Meanwhile, Daniel was older than Carlisle by two months. Thus, he was considered to be an adult as well.

Yet, the two of them were not behaving maturely at all.

Carlisle was now worried that Sean could not lead a team.

“Carl, what do you think of my lighter?” Sean happily asked while spinning his BMW car keys.

Daniel laughed and was about to start mocking him. But he immediately kept his mouth shut when he noticed Carlisle frostily staring at him.

Sean did not babble on either.

Instead, he earnestly said, “Wait until I’ve set up Alumni Network. Then, I’ll mass–produce these lighters. and start selling them by posting photos on the network!”

Daniel snickered. He wondered if Sean really thought everyone enjoyed pretending to be an imposter like he did.

While Sean found his idea to be excellent, he grew offended when he noticed Daniel’s scornful glance.

Sean immediately glared at Daniel and asked, “Hey, what’s with that expression?”

Daniel indignantly glanced at Carlisle.

“Carl, he has something against me even if I said nothing!”

Carlisle’s mouth twitched before replying, “Don’t venture into e–commerce for now. Wait until we have enough users to consider our profitability.

“If someone else starts selling goods on Alumni Network, it will definitely encourage others to do the same. By then, Alumni Network would no longer be about users sharing their life stories but about them selling their products!”

“Oh, you’re right. How did I not consider this?”

Sean awkwardly scratched his head.

Then, he continued to ask, “So, how do we make a profit?”

Carlisle beamed, saying, “We’ll wait until traffic starts picking up. Then, making a profit will be very simple. In fact, the profits will be quite substantial!”

Sean sighed.

“There’s an entrepreneurship park. I’ve seen many social networking websites being developed there, but they have a hard time retaining users. I have no idea whether our Alumni Network can take off. I don’t want our one–million investment to go down the drain.”

Carl chuckled calmly and confidently replied, “Others may be others. But we are who we are. We will only
