Chapter 377: For Incalculable Value (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

In the rearview mirror on the left and right sides of Phaeton, you can see Zhang Ruizheng comforting Chen Qinghui softly in the scene of love in the world.

Wen Ye stared at the left rearview mirror without blinking, leaning his head forward, looking a little cerebral palsy.

After Fang Nian's question fell, she didn't react: "Huh?"

Then Wen Ye hurriedly replied: "Oh, there are still more than 1 million on the public account." ”

Fang Nian glanced at Wen Ye in front of him, "Do you still like to join in this kind of fun?"

"I, I...... Just take a look. Wen Ye said hesitantly.

Fang Nian raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you very good at it, you haven't shown affection to your boyfriend or anything before?"

Wen Ye hurriedly replied: "I'm not, I didn't, it was a bet that time, and it's all Xiao Gu's fault." ”

Then he whispered, "No one is chasing me, I can't move Allah." ”

Fang Nian's eyes moved up and down, smacking his lips: "It seems that I didn't notice, it turns out that Wen Mi is also a goddess in the eyes of boys." ”

"Huh?" Wen Ye was puzzled.

Fang Nian explained: "Everyone thinks that a goddess like you has a boyfriend, but they don't dare to chase you." ”

Wen Ye was stunned, looked at the rearview mirror in the car, and had an expression on his face that you were lying to me: "No!"

"I'm not better looking than that Chen Qinghui, why is her boyfriend handsome and considerate!"

Fang Nian laughed: "I don't believe you observe, you haven't fully graduated." ”

"Oh, oh. Wen Ye came back to his senses, whispered, and then quietly stuck out his tongue, looking scared.

Whispered in my heart: "Mom, I'm out of breath, I haven't been scolded for talking back to the boss!"

Seeing this, Fang Nian couldn't help but glare at Wen Ye: "Wen Ye, am I a man-eating monster in your eyes?"

"No, it's not. Wen Ye hurriedly denied it, looking like he was about to cry, "I, I didn't mean that, I just, just ......"

Fang Nian was too lazy to take care of Wen Ye, turned his head to look out of the window, out of sight.

Over there, Zhang Rui and Chen Qinghui's emotions quickly calmed down completely.

Then Zhang Rui trotted over and told Fang Nian where he was going.

Fang Nian pointed to the inside of the car and quipped, "You guys go over." ”

"No problem, no problem. Zhang Rui nodded repeatedly.

I whispered in my heart: "The rich man's car only has four seats." ”

Now that there are five people, it is indeed a suitable arrangement for the three of them to go together rather than having one go alone.

The place Zhang Rui said was not too far away, but outside the park.

After Wen Ye got off the car, Fang Nian's mobile phone rang, he looked at the eye number, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for the trouble." ”

Liu Qin laughed: "You and I both know things, why be so polite." ”

Then he said in an explanatory tone: "This investment boss Kuang doesn't know at all. ”

"Lao Kuang asked me to help tell Mr. Fang, next time you have a chance to go to the capital, or he will come to Shencheng and have a cup of tea together. ”

Fang Nian said with a smile: "No problem, if you have the opportunity, you must ask for advice in person." ”

"Lao Kuang complained to me just now that the financial crisis last year was a big loss, and the company has invested blindly in the past two years. Liu Qin said teasingly.

"He said that he had to ask you for advice when he was free, and he also said that Wang Xing of Meituan was also interested in investing, but he didn't expect Wang Xing to take the initiative to give the opportunity to Mr. Fang. ”

Fang Nian said: "Eh, Mr. Liu, how can you kill me with Mr. Kuang." ”

“......”

After a few laughs, he hung up the phone.

The main reason is that Liu Qin ridiculed Qiming Venture Capital.

The style of the new company can be seen, and the return on investment will definitely be very low.

But why can we pass the due diligence of Qiming Venture Capital, there is obviously a little 'small problem' in it, anyway, Qiming Venture Capital has to remember Fang Nian's small favor.

In Fang Nian's philosophy of life, this is mutual help in the interests of cooperation.

Favors are mutual.

Otherwise, Fang Nian would really make such a big detour for such a small thing that can be solved through conventional means?

It's nothing more than the so-called 'don't fight, don't get acquainted'.

And for the sake of Ms. Lu Weiyu's face, it's okay to go around this bend.

Phaeton walked out of the park, and Fang Nian saw a lot of company names upstairs through the car window, which can probably be regarded as the place with the highest concentration of technology giants in the entire Shencheng.

Looking at some familiar business names, Fang Nian sighed with emotion: "There are a lot of things I want to do, but I have very little money in my hand, it's difficult~"

............

............

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Nian sat in a tea restaurant in Zhangjiang.

This time I drank a literal afternoon tea, with tea snacks.

“......”

got to know each other, and Zhang Rui's classmate is also surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Xinliang.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, Zhang Rui told me that I might have to try to find a police uncle to deal with it, and I must be fully prepared to recover the log or something, but it turned around all of a sudden. ”

Zhang Xinliang looked excited and said excitedly.

"For the first time, I knew that the internship process was actually very simple, just a few stamps, and in the end, it was the new boss who sent us downstairs, which is called a courtesy. ”

Fang Nian smiled: "You're welcome, just raise your hands." ”

"Oh, oh, yes, yes. Zhang Xinliang was far less calm than he seemed on the surface, and he didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Rui also thanked him again, and his tone was a little confused: "Thank you, I really didn't expect you to get into such a big favor." ”

After a pause, he was ashamed: "It's us who are all too anxious." ”

Fang Nian made a gesture and said in a calm tone, "It's really just a small thing. ”

"It's better than using the most extraordinary means to deal with it. ”

Chen Qinghui didn't talk much, and the matter was solved so lightly that it made her live a little in a dream.

Although there is greed and fun in the news every day these days, I also know that this is a large enterprise with assets of billions.

But she really didn't expect that it was exactly the same as the plot of the movie, a phone call, and things could be easily solved.

It's completely different from the previous plan.

“......”

After talking about this matter for a few minutes, the emotions of the person concerned finally calmed down.

Fang Nian took the initiative to bring up the topic: "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I have to prepare for my graduation exams and my thesis, and I don't plan to it yet. Zhang Xinliang hurriedly replied, as if answering a teacher's question.

Zhang Rui also said: "Me too." ”

Fang Nian slowly turned the teacup and said, "Have you ever thought about what will happen after graduation?"

"I want to try it out in a big company. Zhang Xinliang replied quickly.

Zhang Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I'll leave Shencheng." ”

Fang Nian suddenly asked deliberately, "Which of you has a higher level of programming?"

"We're actually on the same team, and we have different focuses. Zhang Rui replied conservatively, "In terms of horizontal comparison, it should be comparable." ”

Zhang Xinliang also agrees with this: "Yes, the level is similar in overlapping fields, and some fields have their own strengths and weaknesses. ”

"So that new feature was actually developed by the two of you, right?" Fang Nian glanced at Zhang Rui and asked again.

"Hmm. ”

"Basically, the two of us wrote it, but in fact, it was already the final testing stage, with us and without us, it was almost the same. ”

“......”

Fang Nian was like a curious baby, and asked a lot of questions with obvious tendencies.

also motioned for Wen Ye to ask some questions.

Basically, the area that the two of them are most proud of: the level of programming, has been dug to the bottom.

Wen Ye has been to SJTU many times, and Dr. Huang, who calculates 4G and finds that the funds are insufficient, is SJTU and knows a lot about SJTU.

It was almost five o'clock.

Fang Nian looked at the two young men and said quietly: "Haven't you two thought about joining forces and starting your own business?"

"Your school also has an entrepreneurship center. ”

This question made Zhang Xinliang's eyes light up: "Have you thought about it, why haven't you thought about it, have you heard of Lei Xian?"

"When I was a freshman, I read the in-depth DOS programming he wrote, and I fantasized that I could finish the university course in two years, but it was a pity that the level was barely there, but the conditions did not allow it;

Compared to genius, I still have a big gap.

Not to mention what I thought about at the beginning, I also wrote a program and sold it for 1 million, although there is a difference of 20 years, and one million at that time may be millions now......"

At the beginning, Zhang Xinliang said that he was very up, but in the end, he was more or less lonely.

Compared with Lei Yan's life, he is an ordinary person, far behind.

Today, if it weren't for Zhang Rui's acquaintance with Fang Nian, he would have to be stuck in a small company.

Zhang Rui took over Zhang Xinliang's words: "At the beginning, I was similar, but after my junior year, I didn't think so much, I just wanted to polish my experience honestly first, such as finding a job and doing it steadily." ”

"You're not bad, but you didn't go to the ACM class, otherwise you would be the champion team this year. Chen Qinghui couldn't help but interject.

The ACM-ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Competition) is mainly based on the advantages and disadvantages of algorithms.

Algorithms, simply put, are calculation methods and steps to solve a certain problem.

To exaggerate, it is the foundation of program design and leads the execution process of the program.

Fang Nian understands this concept, which is why he is sitting here and talking to Zhang Rui and them.

Fang Nian put down the teacup that was playing until it was hot, and said helplessly: "You said that I was a little embarrassed, so I talked to Mr. Lei and invested in his newly established company. ”

said with a little emotion: "I didn't expect him to be an idol, and I really should have asked for Mr. Zhang Lei's signature at that time." ”

Zhang Xinliang's eyes widened: "You...... What do you say? You invested in Lei Ming's new company?"

"I have the impression that Lei is always a kind person, and after talking about normal investment, he also gave me a 5% permanent share. Fang Nian's expression was a little reminiscing, and he made a calm statement.

Zhang Rui opened his mouth and didn't squeak.

Chen Qinghui blinked, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Xinliang's Adam's apple rolled down.

Then he suddenly said, "What, can you ...... No, can I take a picture with you?"

Fang Nian: "?"

He smiled mysteriously and said, "I believe that there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Without waiting for a few people to speak, Fang Nian followed the temptation: "You have a good level, you have the experience of independent development projects during college, it is better to start a business, I have an angel investment company under my name, which specializes in investing in the dreams of young people." ”

Zhang Xinliang, who answered the call the fastest, was stunned.

Zhang Rui also spoke after a while: "It's not a joke." ”

Facing three pairs of eyes with various looks, Fang Nian said with a slight smile.

"I can invest a sum of money for you, like 500,000 yuan. ”

After the words fell, several people fell silent.

Finally, Zhang Rui sighed: "But we don't know what to do except for basic programming skills." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhang Xinliang quickly agreed.

Fang Nian pursed his lips and said casually: "Maybe you have heard of cloud computing. ”

"I've heard of the hottest technology in the past two years!" Zhang Xinliang nodded again and again.

Zhang Rui also said: "Google put forward this concept, and at present, Amazon's AWS development is relatively good. ”

"In China, I have heard that Ali started to do cloud computing last year, and it has not yet been made public. ”

Fang Nian groaned slightly, and followed the temptation: "I have a simple understanding of cloud computing;

There are three service models for cloud computing, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service);

Using AWS as an example, Amazon is an online shopping company, and the online shopping business is seasonal, and a large number of server resources are idle during idle hours, so it wants to engage in virtualization, cloud computing, open IaaS to the outside world, and use idle resources to create value to recover losses;

Ali is also an online shopping company, and I believe that the idea should be the same, which is to gradually develop services from top to bottom. ”

After a pause, Fang Nian looked at Zhang Rui and Zhang Xinliang and said.

"If you don't have any ideas, it's better to find a way to develop a cloud OS, including simple databases, simple storage, etc., and provide services through web pages, starting from SaaS and gradually developing services. ”

Zhang Rui's brows furrowed: "You mean to imitate the main functional modules that AWS currently provides?"

Seeing Fang Nian nodding, Zhang Rui groaned, "It's difficult. ”

"It's not difficult to do the basics, but what you want to say is that it's hard to do well. Fang Nian said with a smile.

"It's nothing more than user experience, ease of use, compatibility, etc., and the reason why the development of AWS is better than Google Cloud, which put forward the concept, is not reflected in these aspects?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xinliang couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Fang, have you also heard industry jokes?"

Google Cloud is really inexperienced, especially since the support for programming languages is very narrow, and so is the database, which does not give users a chance to choose.

AWS is not bad, I heard that customers do what they need. ”

Fang Nian smiled slightly, with appreciation on his face: "Yun, it's nothing more than an incalculable value." ”

If Alibaba Cloud knew that this sentence would be snatched away in 2010, it might cry.

Although Zhang Rui and Zhang Xinliang were moved, as senior graduates who had just been pinched and rounded by a small company, they still had a lot of problems.

"It's hard to develop this, it's not a matter of a day or two. ”

"Although the investment in the development period is not large, as long as it enters the actual testing stage, it will require more server hardware resources, and it is very necessary to burn money. ”

"It's also very difficult to do a good job of promotion, and there is no infrastructure. ”

"I haven't heard of any companies that directly develop cloud computing in one step, all because of the driving force. ”

"So even if it's done, we don't have customers. ”

“......”

Fang Nian was very pleased with these problems, because the two of them were at least thinking about the role.

In response to this basket of problems, Fang Nian didn't say anything like 'I'll solve it, what else do you want you to do'.

Instead, he calmly explained: "I'm a fun-loving shareholder, you should know how terrible the server resources needed by game companies are, and how high the occasional idle rate is, so ......"

As he spoke, Fang Nian looked at Zhang Rui and Zhang Xinliang with a smile on his face.

"To put it bluntly, you're patching for fun, and if you can get the software right, I don't think infrastructure is the thing you need to worry about. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Rui to speak to Zhang Xinliang, Fang Nian added with a serious face.

"Of course, letting you start your own business will definitely not make you a vassal of greed for fun, I hope you can grow to the point of being equal to greed for fun;

For example, use the innate partner of greed and fun to take the first step, and then go to the world. ”

Faced with the temptation of giving money, creativity, resources and customers, the two young people who had not yet graduated took the initiative to stuff the moldy dreams under the pillow back into their minds, and said seriously and confidently.

"Let's do it!"

So, Fang Nian said calmly: "Wen Mi will help you with the rest of the things, including how to register a company, how to set up, and how to start the first step." ”

“......”

Next, I talked about the name of the company.

Chen Qinghui, who had been unable to interject, suddenly smiled and said: "I thought of a name, Bi Fang, the omen of fire in myths and legends. ”

Thereupon.

Slightly embarrassed to leave the first internship company in their lives, two young people who are a little at a loss for the future.

In a small tea restaurant, it was decided to set up a software company focusing on cloud computing according to Fang Nian's idea.

And in a few words, the name of the company was decided: Bi Fang.

It is the first angel investment in the true sense of the year.

It was Fang Nian who heard Zhang Rui's awesome algorithm talent, and after seeing the word 'cloud computing' in the software park in Phaeton;

Thinking of the huge operating expenses of the greedy and huge server farm, the little story about Bezos and AWS cloud developer Pinkham in my head, and the goose factory and WeChat developers, I decided to be idle in a blink of an eye.

Whether the future is so good, Fang Nian has no way of knowing, he just speaks simply, and leaves the rest to Providence.

After all, when he decided to invest in Zhang Rui, Fang Nian was still unsure that he had to do cloud computing.
