Chapter 589: Gamble Again
On July 1st, the final exams of SJTU began.
Naturally, the exams in college are not as tightly arranged as in high school, with two exams on the first day, one exam in the morning of the second day, and no exams scheduled in the afternoon, so you can relax.
After the three exams, Yu Wenfei feels good, his usual self-study, coupled with the surprise review in the past few days, the feeling of being a top student is back......
After the exam in the morning, he just returned to his teacher's apartment to rest for a while, when he received a call from Dong Xiaoxue.
"Hey, Xiaofei, is the exam over? Come and eat, I'm at No. 78 Changning Road in the city, do you remember that old magic capital Miji restaurant?" Dong Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"Haha, of course I remember, after we signed the contract that time, Sister Dong, you also invited me and the teacher to eat at that restaurant, and the fried buns there tasted really good. Oh, today I want to eat a big plate of raw fried buns by myself!" Yu Wenfei laughed.
In fact, thinking about where to invite Yu Wenfei to dinner, Dong Xiaoxue also thought about it repeatedly for several days.
On the phone, although she shouted "Xiaofei" in her mouth, she talked to Yu Wenfei as an old acquaintance, which seemed very casual.
But in fact, she didn't dare to treat Yu Wenfei casually at all.
That boy is now a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions!
Who would dare to treat such a person casually?
Besides, now that Dong Xiaoxue has a request for others, she naturally doesn't dare to slack off.
The "casual" attitude when making phone calls, including the small restaurant where Yu Wenfei was invited to dinner, Dong Xiaoxue was repeatedly considered.
No matter how expensive the restaurant is, maybe Yuwenfei is not rare, but a time-honored restaurant like Mi Ji Restaurant, maybe Yuwenfei likes it more. Moreover, he once invited Yu Wenfei to dinner here, and the two are still here when they meet again, and they have extra points in their feelings.
Sure enough, she didn't make a mistake, Yu Wenfei was very interested when she heard that she was going there to eat.
............
When she called, Dong Xiaoxue had actually come to the small restaurant, at noon, because this is not a prosperous area, so there are not many people in the restaurant, it is relatively quiet, and it is a good place to talk.
Waiting for Yu Wenfei while drinking tea, and repeatedly thinking in his heart about how to talk after meeting Yu Wenfei, how to lead the topic in the direction he wanted to talk about.
was in a daze when he heard a hearty voice sound, "Sister Dong, I'm here!"
Dong Xiaoxue looked up suddenly, and saw a tall boy standing in front of her, although this boy was wearing a black mask on his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
But from that familiar eyebrow, Dong Xiaoxue still recognized that this was Yu Wenfei.
In the magic capital in July, it was already quite hot, Yu Wenfei turned his head to look at the store, and few people, let alone anyone noticed him, took off his mask.
That's the price of fame.
Now if Yu Wenfei wants to go to a public place, he will basically wear a mask, he is not clean or pretending, but he has to do this.
In terms of the number of fans, compared to those superstars, Yu Wenfei is not far behind.
Especially in the "base camp" of the magic capital, he may meet his "cousins" anytime and anywhere.
Once recognized, it is inevitable to take a group photo and sign it, although Yu Wenfei is not disgusted by this behavior of fans, but there are too many people.
Therefore, simply going out with a mask also saves a lot of trouble.
When he came over today, he didn't even drive his own Ferrari Enzo, because the car was simply a big signboard with the words "Yuwen Fei is coming" written on it!
He owns the car, and fans are familiar with it......
Dong Xiaoxue hurriedly stood up, affectionately pulled Yu Wenfei's arm, and looked up and down several times, all of which made Yu Wenfei embarrassed.
"Tut, Xiaofei, you are getting more and more handsome, more like a star than those stars, Sister Dong really didn't expect that she would be able to know a big man like you in her life. ”
Yu Wenfei hurriedly said modestly: "I'm a big man, I'm just an ordinary college student." ”
Dong Xiaoxue didn't argue with him about this, but just pulled him down affectionately, and called the waiter again, saying that it was time to eat.
Then he turned his head to Yu Wenfei and said, "Didn't you say that you like to eat fried buns the most, but I ordered two large plates, both of which are yours!"
"Haha, no problem, I didn't eat much in the morning, just waiting for noon. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.
After a few small talks, the waiter brought a tray and a steaming fried bun.
Dipped in ginger vinegar, Yuwen Fei ate one in one bite, and said with a smile while snorting hot air in his mouth: "It's still ...... The smell ...... The taste. ”
Dong Xiaoxue looked at Yu Wenfei with a smile, and felt a lot more down-to-earth in her heart, because from Yu Wenfei's attitude towards her, she could feel that Yu Wenfei really didn't treat her as an outsider.
Before Dong Xiaoxue could change the topic in the direction she wanted, Yu Wenfei took the initiative to ask, "Sister Dong, are you still working in the Commercial Printing House?"
Dong Xiaoxue was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, where can I go if I am not there, I am now the deputy editor-in-chief of the society." ”
"Congratulations to Sister Dong, shouldn't I call you Editor-in-Chief Dong now, haha. Yu Wenfei congratulated with a smile.
Dong Xiaoxue didn't have joy on her face, and sighed: "You may not understand, now the publishing industry is getting more and more sluggish, half of this year has passed, the best-selling book in the entire market, do you know what the book is?"
I really don't know this, Yu Wenfei hasn't paid attention to these for a long time, and he hasn't even checked the manuscript fees for his three books, including the bank card for the manuscript fee, he threw it to Zhou Mengyi and asked her to use it to repay the loan owed by Xiangjiang Jiale to the bank.
Therefore, after entering the university, he didn't know how much he got for the manuscript.
However, it should be a lot, because Zhou Mengyi said that the royalties from the publishing house are enough to repay the bank's arrears.
"It's still your youth trilogy, it's been sold for so long, but in the first half of this year, these three books are still the best-sellers. Dong Xiaoxue uncovered the mystery.
This made Yu Wenfei a little surprised, in the publishing market, this kind of old book that has been published for a long time should not be so popular, because everything that should be bought has already been bought.
However, this also shows from the side that the entire publishing industry is indeed very sluggish.
The traditional publishing industry, including traditional media, will definitely be eliminated by the times, which Yu Wenfei may know better than Dong Xiaoxue.
So he also sighed and said: "No way, with the progress of the times and the development of technology, some industries are indeed inevitably declining and will be replaced by emerging industries." However, the publishing industry and paper books still have a place, and there is no way for the Internet to completely replace them. ”
"But I don't want to mess around in such a decaying industry!" Dong Xiaoxue's eyes were shining, staring at Yu Wenfei and said.
Yu Wenfei's hand that was holding the fried buns paused, and then he put down his chopsticks and looked at Dong Xiaoxue with a smile.
"Then what does Sister Dong think?"
Dong Xiaoxue's gaze did not flinch, she and Yu Wenfei looked at each other, and said firmly: "I want to try it in the Internet industry, I feel that the Internet industry is the direction of future development!"
"Oh, does Sister Dong have any experience in the Internet industry, or have you studied this industry?" asked Yu Wenfei with interest.
"I have no experience, but I have studied the industry. Of course, I don't understand technology, but there are many things that the Internet and offline industries have figured out. Just like e-commerce, in fact, it is nothing more than moving the offline shopping malls online, eliminating the cost of land rent and other expenses, and at the same time making the business that could only be done within a radius of a few kilometers to the whole country! This is incomparable to the traditional retail industry, so e-commerce will definitely be able to defeat the current physical retail!
Also, just say your Facebook. In my opinion, it is also very similar to the traditional press. It's just that on Facebook, everyone is a columnist! Everyone can publish their own ideas and articles as they want, and they can communicate with others. In terms of model, it is indeed much more advanced than traditional newspapers and periodicals, but in essence, the difference is not big. ......”
Dong Xiaoxue spoke at length, telling her all about her research and views on the Internet in the past two years, and Yuwenfei nodded while listening.
It can be seen that Dong Xiaoxue does have a little research on the Internet, although some of her opinions in her words are a bit one-sided or too extreme, but she still has her own thoughts. In this regard, it is better than many people in the Internet industry.
This old acquaintance of mine really didn't disappoint him.
There are not a few elites in traditional industries who switch careers to the Internet industry and then succeed.
As Dong Xiaoxue said, in fact, the essence of various industries is to figure it out!
A person who can be top-notch in any industry, even if he is placed in a completely unfamiliar industry, as long as he is given a period of time to adapt, he can also make good results.
The exceptions, of course, are those that are purely technical.
"Then what chance does Sister Dong want me to give you?" Yu Wenfei asked calmly.
"I ...... I want to work on Facebook, or I can go to Facebook Games. On Facebook, I can do editing work, and if it's Facebook Games, then I should be able to do the work in the sales department of stand-alone games. Dong Xiaoxue bit her lip and said what was in her heart.
The purpose of her meeting Yu Wenfei today is to jump to Facebook!
As for the position of editor-in-chief of the publishing house, whoever wants to do it, she is not uncommon anyway!
This woman's personality is still so strong, when she first met Yu Wenfei, she dared to gamble everything on Yu Wenfei, an unknown little writer who had just emerged.
Now, faced with the low-hanging fruit of the editor-in-chief, she once again chooses to gamble everything to win a future that she doesn't know what the prospects are.
Will it be as successful as last time?
