Ctrip is an Internet company founded in 1999 and listed on the NASDAQ on December 9, 2003.

Shen Nanpeng said: "When Ctrip's market value finally became more than $4 billion, to be honest, we didn't expect it. Success comes quickly, and of course there is our dedication here. But to a large extent, I think that in the midst of the tide, we are being pushed forward. ”

At the same time as the establishment of Ctrip.com, these four young people also founded the Home Inn Express hotel chain. The reason why they started Homeinn is simple, because some Ctrip customers ask if there is a hotel that is clean, comfortable and inexpensive when booking a hotel.

Homeinns is not an Internet company and was not favored by venture capital institutions at the beginning. But Shen Nanpeng proved his unique vision with his actions - three years after Ctrip's listing, Homeinns was listed on the NASDAQ.

After running Ctrip and Homeinns, Shen Nanpeng accepted the invitation of Sequoia Capital and founded Sequoia Capital China Fund together with Zhang Fan, the former director of DFJ Global Fund.

The fund has invested in many well-known companies, involving 14 industries and more than 200 investments, including e-commerce, local life, corporate services, financial games and other industries, including Sina, JD.com, AutoNavi, 360, Noah, Vipshop, Alibaba, Douban, Dianping, Meituan, Donkey Mama, Tuniu and other companies

Shen Nanpeng is from the Department of Mathematics, with strong logical thinking, sensitivity and accuracy, and he himself is also a social expert, standing on the cusp of the times, he chose the right direction.

There is a saying in the industry, "You may not know Shen Nanpeng, but you must have been in contact with the company he invested."

In the past ten years, from Jingdong Mall to Vipshop, from Meituan to Dianping, from Ele.me to Ganji.com......

There are countless cases of Shen Nanpeng's successful investment, and he believes that the core concept of winning is one:

LongChina, long China!

In the past, many people were really not so optimistic about China and had all kinds of worries, but now, all Chinese entrepreneurs who have made great careers have a common characteristic that LongChina has.

"The core driving force behind China's investment story is China's urbanization and the resulting rise of the consumer economy," Shen said. ”

For the past 14 years, Shen has chosen LongChina, insisting that "there is no winter in the world of redwoods" because China's urbanization and consumer economy are still in their early stages.

As he himself said: I am fortunate that I have many paths in the right way, some of which I have chosen, and some of which are pushed by the tide of this era to make some very correct choices.

In 2002, Xue Cunhe had already shown his edge in the investment circle, while Shen Nanpeng was still tinkering with his Ctrip and Homeinns.

Therefore, the first thing that President Li thought of was Xue Cunhe, an outstanding alumnus, of course, he was not worthy of the title of "outstanding alumnus" at that time.

Principal Li said with a smile: "This matter is handed over to me, many of your seniors are now engaged in the investment industry, you are a junior, of course they want to help you at the beginning of your career." Besides, the brothers and sisters should help each other, and having this relationship is still more reliable than outsiders!"

Yu Wenfei nodded yes, alumni relationships exist in various industries.

Not to mention China, even in the world, major famous universities have their own alumni associations. Isn't the purpose of the alumni association to provide a hub for outstanding graduates to enhance their relationships?

Jiaotong University also has its own alumni association, and Xue Cunhe is now the rotating chairman......

Not all students are eligible to join the alumni association, and you can't say that you graduated from SJTU and think that you can join the alumni association.

I'm sorry, if you want to get in, there is a qualification review, if you don't do anything after graduation, it is basically impossible to enter the alumni association, because there are generally only excellent alumni to join.

"By the way, Principal Li, can you consider opening an official Facebook page for the school on Facebook?"

After talking about financing, Yu Wenfei remembered another thing.

Principal Li was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What is the school doing with this thing?"

Yu Wenfei explained unhurriedly: "If the school wants to send a notice to all students, what way did it go in the past?"

"It's just to post an announcement on the bulletin board in front of the office building, teaching building, and dormitory building. Some of the students saw it and then relayed it to those who didn't. Principal Li replied.

"So how much time do you want all students to see, how much time does this process take?" Yu Wenfei asked rhetorically.

"Hmm... It will take about two or three days. Principal Li thought for a moment before replying.

"So does Principal Li know how many of our students are registered on Facebook, and how often do they log on to Facebook every day?"

Without waiting for Principal Li to answer, of course, Principal Li couldn't answer this question.

Yu Wenfei added: "Ninety-five percent of the students have already signed up for Facebook, and the average frequency of each student logging on to Facebook is 3.6 times a day!"

Principal Lin and Principal Li exclaimed at the same time.

"So much?"

"Six times a day!

The two of them can't imagine that the popularity of Facebook among students is already so high.

But they have to believe it, because in this kind of thing, Yu Wenfei will definitely not say anything, since it is said that there are so many, then it will definitely not be less.

This data also forced them to reconsider the significance of Facebook for schools.

Perhaps, this website can not only bring great popularity to the school, but also have a more far-reaching significance!

"If the school sets up an official account on Facebook, will the speed and efficiency of the spread be greatly improved if it is issued in the future?" Yu Wenfei asked with a smile.

The two had to nod their heads in agreement, judging by the popularity of Facebook among students, and the frequency with which students log in every day, this is indeed the case.

Maybe as long as the school posts an announcement on it, all students will see the announcement within a day.

In this way, it is necessary to set up an official school account.

"I plan to invite all universities in the country to set up official authentication numbers on Facebook, which can be regarded as promoting the process of informatization construction of schools across the country. Presumably, the universities will not refuse. Yu Wenfei said confidently.

"Yu Wenfei's idea is good! Our school also needs to keep pace with the times, and the way that students like to see, then we must also learn to progress, and we can't form a barrier with students. Principal Lin said calmly.

Yuwen looked at Principal Lin with a blank eye, and when he saw his expression, Principal Lin smiled dumbly, of course he understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll talk about this privately for you at the National Conference of Principals. ”

That's the benefit of having someone in the back!
