243 [The fox who crashed into the door by himself]
When Ding Ming had just entered college, his father said, "You must unite with your classmates and make more friends!"
If you follow this goal, this kid is completely ruined, and the road to a tech nerd is gone.
After the freshness at the beginning, fewer and fewer students came to watch and play with the computer, and Ding Ming could finally do his own thing. He divided his main time into four parts: reading computer books in the classroom, surfing the Internet in the café and communicating with people, practicing programming in the dormitory, and then ...... Play the game.
Academic performance plummeted, and final exams were a mess!
I can't take care of making more friends or anything, Zhou Zhengyu used to call him at will, but now he always gets a few perfunctory voices: Okay, right away, I'll go in a while.
"This kid is hopeless. Zhou Zhengyu said smoking a cigarette.
Song Weiyang smiled: "It's good if he likes it." ”
Ding Ming, who was in front of the computer, was frantically typing on the keyboard, his beard was scumbag, and his clothes had not changed for two days. At this time, it has entered summer, and the summer of the sea is in full bloom, and you can even smell a bad smell when you get closer.
Peng Shengli came back from the cafeteria, threw the lunch box in front of Ding Ming, frowned, and said, "You better go and wash it." ”
"Okay, right away. Ding Ming casually agreed.
After typing on the keyboard for another 20 minutes, Ding Ming finally picked up the lunch box to eat lunch, and then rushed into the public toilet to take a cold shower.
Song Weiyang was lying in bed reading a book, and he had classes in the afternoon, so he had time to accompany his girlfriend in the evening.
Just when Song Weiyang was about to take a nap, someone suddenly knocked on the door. A young man in a plaid shirt stepped into half a foot, stuck his head in and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Song Weiyang here?"
"Old Song, looking for you!" Zhou Zhengyu shouted with a yawn.
Song Weiyang turned over and got out of bed, stretched his waist and said, "What's the matter?"
The young man immediately reported to his home: "Hello Mr. Song, my name is Zhang Chaoyang, graduated from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University, and is a postdoctoral fellow at MIT. Having served as MIT's Asia-Pacific Liaison Leader and ISI's Chief Representative in China, I was very pleased to visit Mr. Song. If you have any presumptuousness, please bear with me. ”
"Zhang Chaoyang," Song Weiyang saw the appearance of the person who came, "How did you find here?"
Zhang Chaoyang explained: "I am planning to start China's first Internet company and am looking for venture capital. I heard that Mr. Song is very interested in computers and the Internet, and you have just invested in Kingsoft Corporation, I wonder if you can hear about my business plan?"
Song Weiyang smiled bitterly: "Is this called a good thing that doesn't go out, and a bad thing spreads thousands of miles? You should be in the United States, and you actually know about my investment in Jinshan." ”
"It's been spread all over the Internet in China, and this is a good thing, not a bad thing. Zhang Chaoyang said.
Well, with the fame of Jinshan Company at this time, Song Weiyang's investment really spread all over the domestic network in minutes.
Historically, Zhang Chaoyang should have started to attract investment in May this year, constantly going back and forth between China, New York and Boston. On the streets of the United States, he lined up to call investors on public phones, and was often kicked out of the office by investors. Because he is Chinese and is not trusted by American investors, he was miserably tricked in various ways, and was told several times that he was willing to invest, but the other party temporarily repented.
It wasn't until August that Zhang Chaoyang finally received $150,000 in venture capital, which was invested by two professors at his alma mater (MIT).
Now it is obvious that he was slapped by butterfly wings, Zhang Chaoyang returned to China a few days ago to pull investment and was rejected, and I heard from a friend that Boss Song of Xifeng had just invested in Jinshan. So after many inquiries, he learned that Song Weiyang was studying in Fudan, and immediately took a plane to the school to find someone.
In fact, most of China's Internet entrepreneurs have had such experiences.
As a traverser, there is no need to take the initiative to contact the future bigwigs, as long as they reveal their interest in the network industry and are willing to throw money around, those entrepreneurs themselves will come to the door to ask for money.
A postdoc at MIT!
Including Peng Shengli, several buddies in the dormitory all looked at Zhang Chaoyang, just like the giant pandas watching the zoo.
"What company do you want to be?" Song Weiyang asked knowingly.
"China's first Internet company. Zhang Chaoyang said.
Song Weiyang said: "Yinghaiwei is the first. ”
Zhang Chaoyang said disdainfully: "What Yinghaiwei does is not the Internet at all, they have built a lot of servers and put them in the room, so that people can access these servers by dialing up the Internet. The boss of this company used to be in the paging business, and they are using the method of paging to do the Internet, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed. Moreover, they do not use the common communication protocols of the Internet, and their servers are simply islands of information. ”
"Then what Internet business are you going to do?" Song Weiyang asked.
Zhang Chaoyang asked rhetorically: "Have you heard of Yahoo?"
Song Weiyang smiled: "With the scale and popularity of the Internet in China now, do you think Yahoo's model can make money in China?"
Zhang Chaoyang was stunned, he originally bullied Song Weiyang for not understanding the Internet, and planned to take the case of Yahoo going public on Wall Street this year and the total stock price reaching $500 million in one day. Who knows, Song Weiyang directly asked the fatal question - Yahoo's set does not work in China, at least not now!
Zhang Chaoyang was a little weak-hearted, because he didn't know what business to do, and said tentatively: "How about making firewall software?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to open an Internet company?" Song Weiyang said with a smile, "If you want to make antivirus software, I can just let Kingsoft do it, why do I want to invest in you?"
Zhang Chaoyang's questions about Song Weiyang could not be answered, and historically, it took him a year to figure out what he should do after starting the company. To put it bluntly, it is to make a navigation website, 2345, hao123 to understand, these are the leftovers of Zhang Chaoyang's play.
However, at this moment, Zhang Chaoyang really doesn't know what business to do, he said: "We can build a business website first and slowly look for business opportunities." ”
Song Weiyang couldn't help laughing: "You don't know what to do yourself, and you still expect me to invest?"
Zhang Chaoyang's expression was very embarrassed, he was rejected many times, and he didn't care about this time, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Song, then I won't bother, I hope we can cooperate in the future." ”
"Let's go, let's go to my café and talk. Song Weiyang began to put on his shoes.
Zhou Zhengyu asked, "You don't have classes in the afternoon?"
"Give me an answer during the roll call. Song Weiyang said.
"Go, little prince who skips class. Zhou Zhengyu said.
Ding Ming was very interested in this thing, threw away the keyboard and said, "I'll listen to it too." ”
Zhang Chaoyang was taken to the Time Cafe by Song Weiyang in this way, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, let alone what to talk about next.
