Chapter 228: Becoming the founder of the Turtle
Sun Buqi mistook Feng Jing for Ma Liang and made a big oolong, not only did he not self-examine, but glared at Hong Lei fiercely, secretly blaming the other party for not reporting clearly on the phone, causing himself a big mess!
He clasped the visitor's big hand with both hands, revealing a look of sudden realization, "Mr. Chen, I know, you are ......"
The person who came showed a simple smile and took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am Chen Shijun and I am from California. We have communicated many times in online emails, and we can be regarded as long-time friends. β
Chen Shijun is only 27 years old, wearing his trademark black-rimmed glasses, a beard, and a thick face and neck, but he has maintained a good body shape and has not shown much signs of fat.
Later, when he came to the Boao Forum, he had already undergone brain tumor surgery, and his appearance had changed slightly.
Now face to face, Sun Buqi hesitated for a moment, and did not recognize Chen Shijun's true body for a while.
Sun Buqi grabbed Chen Shijun's hand, shook it vigorously, and said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, you are the idol of our Chinese, I am very happy to meet you...... Sorry, I'm a little too excited, let's sit inside. β
When Wang An made computers, there were already computer companies such as IBM, and when Yang Zhiyuan established Yahoo, Netscape also had similar services.
The domestic and domestic Internet are benchmarked against their American counterparts, Baidu benchmarked against Google, Dangdang benchmarked against Amazon, Alibaba benchmarked against E-Bay, QQ benchmarked against ICQQ, and Kugou and Tudou benchmarked against oily turtles. Later, Meituan and Ele.me could find benchmarking companies on the other side of the ocean.
In the IT industry, there are not many Chinese who have made great achievements, but there are not many people who have made groundbreaking achievements, and Chen Shijun is one of them, who pioneered the establishment of a video-sharing website.
For Sun Buqi's courtesy, Chen Shijun smiled all over his face, and he didn't care too much in his heart.
He made a lot of money in PayPal, but the business in China that he was responsible for has not been carried out, and his reputation has not been spread in China at all.
Chen Shijun cushioned his feet, patted Sun Buqi's shoulder, was anti-customer, pulled the other party's arm, and walked into the conference room quickly, walking as he walked, "Mr. Sun, your environment here is quiet, no wonder you have such a good idea." β
After the two sat down, he couldn't wait to explain the reason for the trip, "My colleagues and I already have a preliminary video sharing plan, but the business model is not perfect. Seeing your advice on the Internet is really a wake-up call for people in their dreams. I'm going to get a visa right away, and I'm going to come and talk to you face to face, and I hope you will give me advice. β
The Chinese people are introverted, and Sun Buqi is always well prepared, and in the battle of wits and courage with the heroes of all parties, he can always occupy the initiative in the conversation, but this time he was negotiating at his own home, but he fell behind.
Chen Shijun wears black-framed eyes, smiles innocently, but has a strong personal aura, although he is away, he is not stage frightened at all, and he gets the initiative to talk in a few words.
For the sake of the new company, he was already in debt, and the server and broadband fees were paid by credit card. The ticket money for this trip to China was still paid by his partner, but from his face, there was no look of embarrassment.
After a little greeting, Chen Shijun stood up and danced to tell about his dreams.
"The original intention of our business was to make a video dating platform. You can upload a video to introduce yourself and make it easier to find a partner! The online time is also set for 2.14 - Valentine's Day. From the email, I know you have different opinions, so let's talk about it. β
Sun Buqi nodded, and said calmly: "It's not that your idea is bad, but it's too narrow-minded." Why do you draw a dungeon and set a circle for yourself first?"
Chen Shijun's face did not change, "Mr. Sun, you may not have really started a business, you are a little too naΓ―ve. A good idea must first have a target group and social needs before it is necessary. β
Hong Lei reminded loudly, "Mr. Chen, you are very wrong! Mr. Sun single-handedly established a game studio, independently developed a Warcraft plug-in, and talked and ......laughed with Baidu's Robin Li."
Chen Shijun didn't seem to hear it, wrote and drew on the paper, and pointed it out to the two of them to see.
"You may not know much about the situation in the United States, but let me briefly state it. Video recorders and mobile phones with video recording functions are fashionable things in the hands of young people nowadays. Many people like to bring a video recorder to a party and then watch the footage of friends playing jokes and even pranks with each other over and over again. People love to share short videos, and our target audience is them!"
Sun Buqi shrugged, "The camera phone will immediately become a cheap commodity, and everyone will have one, not only young people like it, but everyone likes it." According to Maslow's theory, everyone has a need to socialize and have a need for respect. Adults will also be secretly refreshed when they see other people's comments on videos. β
Chen Shijun was a little unimpressed, but still insisted on his opinion. Scratch your nose and eyebrows, upload too much content, and there will be no focus on publicity. More content means higher server costs, and the landlord has no surplus food.
Sun Buqi and Hong Lei whispered a few words, and the latter hurried out.
After a while, Qin Mengyao walked in and brought a laptop.
Sun Buqi pointed to the notebook, "Mr. Chen, this is a short film based on it, and it is a casual work of this lady. The video was uploaded to the forum and received more than 10,000 views in less than a week. As far as I know, Warcraft is very popular in the United States, and I believe there are many game lovers who like to share and watch game videos. This is also a demand, and it's not just a pickle girl dating for young people. β
Qin Mengyao's short film is not shot casually. She has a special production team, all of whom are professionals with relevant education, and Sun Buqi understated it, and also had the meaning of sticking gold on his face and bullying Chen Shijun.
After listening to it, Chen Shijun watched the short film repeatedly, pulled down and turned the page, read a lot of comments, nodded, and said solemnly: "Mr. Sun, you obey me." In addition to marriage and dating, games are also a good material, and I will seriously consider it. β
Regarding the future of the video website, Sun Buqi has a lot of right to speak, taking advantage of Chen Shijun's weakness, he began to talk eloquently, hoping to occupy more initiative in future cooperation.
Chen Shijun nodded frequently, looking like he had gained. He is not a vegetarian either, and constantly asks new questions and new methods, which makes Sun Buqi nod frequently.
The fierce exchange between the two sides made Qin Mengyao on the side dazzled: those peers who played computer games, or which things were delicious and where was fun, compared with the two, they didn't seem to belong to the same world.
At the end of the conversation, Chen Shijun made an invitation, "You won't mind if the new website is named Youtu Turtle, right?" I solemnly put forward the invitation, hoping that Mr. Sun can join our video team, and we can create brilliance together." β
Sun Buqi waited for this sentence, and hurriedly stretched out his hands, "Of course, this is my honor, just waiting for your invitation." β
After becoming his own person, Chen Shijun was open and honest, briefly describing the structure of the new company's personnel: there are 10 engineers, all recruited from old colleagues in PayPal, no salary; two partners, Chad Hurley, Judd Karim, and counting Sun Buqi, the total entrepreneurial team is 14 people.
β¦β¦
At the gate of the airport, Chen Shijun jokingly made a new suggestion, "Brother No, school no longer means anything to you, you can drop out of school and go to Silicon Valley...... Hahaha, I'm also a dropout and have more experience. In my last semester at the University of Champaign, I didn't go to class and went to work in Silicon Valley. β
Sun Buqi shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, the national conditions of the two countries are different, and his student status cannot be lost for the time being.
Seeing Chen Shijun away, Qin Mengyao looked worried and envious, and asked everyone's thoughts, "Senior Brother Sun, are you going to the United States? Do you want to leave everything in China and go to the United States to start a business?"
