was able to be called a cow by Gu Heng because before the meeting, Josie's brief introduction convinced him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The agreed meeting place was at a café near Hengcheng, which was not far away, and it was the rush hour for getting off work, so the two did not drive and chose to walk there.

Walking on the crowded streets, Gu Heng briefly recalled the experience of crowding the bus when he got off work in his previous life, and then became curious about the friend who made Josie highly admired, and said with a smile: "Josie, tell me about the situation of your friend, it is also a talent you invited for me, I have an understanding in advance, and I can avoid some topics in time later, so as not to get an axe in front of others." ”

Josie pursed her lips and chuckled, and said: "Then you'd better not speak, in terms of knowledge, Tom is the widest range of people I have ever met, finance, IT, industry, geography, and world customs, etc., he has been involved, although to paraphrase a sentence of our ancestors, he is not good at learning, but for those of us who don't understand at all, it also seems profound enough." ”

"Are you complimenting him or hurting him? I don't seem to understand, and it's not a good word to learn but not to be proficient. ”

Josie replied as a matter of course: "Of course I praised him, but I invited him, if he is useless, where will I put my face?"

"Let me tell you this, Tom graduated from the University of Pennsylvania at the age of seventeen, I graduated at the age of eighteen, he was a year ahead of me, we were classmates in elementary school, I had an IQ test of over 140, and it only took ...... to memorize a complex data table."

Just when Josie was growing up and destroying his prestige, Gu Heng stared at her side face for a moment, and interjected coldly: "Then have you tested EQ?"

In the past 14 years since graduation, he has changed eight jobs, covering the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the industries he has been involved in finance, IT, and real estate.

Every time he quits his job, he gives himself about two months off to visit the world, and his biggest dream is to buy an island and enjoy life early!"

Very Josie's commentary style, the data is clear, simple and clear, but it made Gu Heng's joking expression just now freeze on his face.

I can't continue to talk this day, it's so shocking.

Look at what people lived in those days, with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, or resign, and give yourself a big summer vacation after every resignation, footprints all over the world......

Compare yourself in your previous life, that can no longer be described by Loser, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the difference between cloud and mud, what others live is called life, and if you live by yourself, it is called suffering.

Gu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Such a good person, he was actually moved by you? Is he really not your boyfriend?"

"He has changed more than 20 girlfriends in the past ten years, which is not my cup of tea. He agreed to come here because he wanted to meet the amazing boss I told him about, and a company that could grow into a great business. ”

A short explanation, once again inflicted a critical blow on Gu Heng, if it weren't for the second half of the sentence and a little healing effect, he would have the urge to vomit blood.

Chatting all the way, the two quickly walked to a café where they met.

“Tom！”

In the distance, Josie saw the young man sitting in the corner.

The other party smiled back, with a little mature man charm, showing confidence and calmness.

This is the other party's first impression of Gu Heng, the bearing that has been trained in the workplace can make people blur his appearance and age at a glance.

If evaluated from the perspective of the opposite sex, this man should be classified as attractive, especially for those who like to mature type, the age of 30 is the most attractive age.

"Gu Heng!"

"Follow the customs, my ancestral surname is Tang, you can call me Tang Jun!"

After a simple handshake, Gu Heng and the two sat down, because they were accompanied by Josie, and the other party was also a rather talkative person, the atmosphere was not cold.

Just in small talk, both men were quietly observing each other.

As far as Gu Heng is concerned, the other party is a talent recommended by Josie personally, and since he is present, it means that he has moved the idea that he can take it for his own use. Although he heard about the other party's legendary resume just now, he didn't know anything about his character, and he casually reused a person he didn't know at all, which was not his style.

Virtuous and talented, reuse!

Those who are virtuous and talented, cultivate and use!

Those who are talented but not virtuous, when there is no replacement candidate for the time being, use it with caution, and when there is a replacement candidate, abandon it!

Those who have no talent and no virtue, get out of here with the person who recruited him!

He always believes that the development of a company is not supported by one or two talented people, if a person with a loss of virtue pushes him to a high position just because of his talent, it is equivalent to putting himself in a dangerous situation.

He was observing the other party through his words and deeds, and Tang Jun was the same.

For him, he is betting on his future career and prospects, so he needs to examine the vision and pattern of the future Boss, how big the heart is, how big the stage is, the Boss sees far enough, has enough ambition to lead the company to continue to forge ahead towards the goal, and his dream of being the owner of the island needs to have a boss with enough ambition to help him complete it.

Before meeting Gu Heng, he spent a few days studying the domestic Internet environment, and also studied the product Renren, combined with some information learned from Qiao Xi's mouth, he believed that Renren, which broke through with the concept of social networking, would have a broader prospect, but how far this road can go, he still needs to be further confirmed.

The exchanges between the two sides unfolded in a tepid atmosphere, and it can be seen that Tang Jun is a more measured person, he does not show off what he is good at, while Gu Heng does not dabble too much in financial and other issues, but revolves around the concept of the Internet.

Seeing Tang Jun say everything about the current development status of Renren and the competitors he may face, Gu Heng was a little surprised.

Take him as an example, although he also knows about the more well-known foreign Internet companies, such as Google, Yahoo and other companies, but he is limited to the understanding of their product concepts, as for the overall environment in which they are located, what competitors they have, he does not have a deep understanding.

Tang Jun can so directly analyze the current situation of some well-known Internet companies in China, there can only be two explanations, one is that the other party always pays attention to the development of the domestic Internet when he is abroad. The second is that he had done his homework before meeting himself.

These two explanations, no matter which one they are, are enough to impress Gu Heng with him, and they also confirm Josie's previous evaluation of him.

If it is the first point, then his scope of involvement can be called extensive, and it is not the kind that is too many but not refined, according to Josie, he used to work at Goldman Sachs, but he can still understand the current situation of the Internet in China, this kind of curiosity and desire to explore, admirable. If it is the second point, the other party has done some homework in a hurry, but he can come up with such a more accurate analysis, which shows that his skills are not shallow, and he deserves to surpass Josie's evaluation in IQ.

Gu Heng gradually became a little interested, started a more in-depth exchange, and asked: "Then in your opinion, among these current Internet companies in China, which ones can have the last laugh?"

"Whether an Internet company can have the last laugh is often due to many factors.

First of all, based on the needs of users to open the market is the first step, such as Tengxun's instant messaging, that is its concept, but also its characteristics, he relies on this, to meet the needs of users for online communication, to expand the market.

Secondly, through this product, he allows users to build a kind of contact channel based on family and friends, because of the demand space, because of the stickiness, so this product has enough activity.

Third, through the above two advantages, he has created a sufficient number of users, and with more users, its scale will only get bigger and bigger under word of mouth. Even now, it is facing the encirclement and suppression of many enterprises, but it has always been as stable as Mount Tai, because it cannot fundamentally leverage its user base.

These are the factors of its success, the current Tengxun has 100 million users, it can be said that it is the only one in the current domestic Internet field.

But who can guarantee that it can have the last laugh?

The more users, the greater the load on the platform, and the higher the demand for software and hardware, in other words, this needs to be supported by funds. But it currently does not have a bright profit channel, now the biggest source of income is in Montnet, if there are external variables, cut off this, it can not find a profit channel that can support its own sustainable development in a short period of time, waiting for it, is the collapse of the situation.

On the other hand, if it crosses this hurdle, the future is bright, and it can continue to be proud until major technological changes occur.

In the final analysis, enterprises are driven by people, and the R&D and design of Internet products are also driven by people. If those in charge of it make a mistake, or go the wrong way, or someone blocks its path, it may be glorious today, or it may collapse tomorrow. ”

Gu Heng listened quietly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again: "Then in your opinion, how to judge the advantages and disadvantages of Renren today?"

"I won't say much about the advantages, I believe that Mr. Gu, you should know better than I know about it. At present, its main problem is to find the profit point that supports its development, find this point, and cut it in at the most appropriate time, which is the main topic that Renren needs to study in the future. ”

"When is the right time?"

Gu Heng is really consulting this time, in the overall situation, he has a cognition of Renren's profit model, but he is still exploring more specific implementation and cutting.

"The most appropriate time is to cut into the profit support point when the demand for it is the strongest. Because of the demand, users can tolerate the ads it places and some other minor problems that it brings when cutting into the profit point. Just like a novel website owned by Mr. Gu, when choosing to charge, it is often cut to the time when the plot is the most exciting, when readers will continue to read because they want to see the next content, even if it has to be charged.

In the same way, it also means the same for Renren, and the choice of this timing mainly depends on your expectations for Renren's prospects. Generally speaking, this kind of social platform, with its gradual development, with more functions to cut in, it will only bring users more novel experience, like now, it has opened up the channel of YY game and starting point Chinese network, in the future, such channels will be more, then the user's dependence on it will only be stronger.

If Mr. Gu, your positioning is to build Renren into a platform with hundreds of millions of users, then you can now try to find a profit point to cut in, if you plan to install Renren on every personal computer, then its main development direction is not to make a profit, but to develop ......"

Speaking of this, Tang Jun picked up the coffee on the table, seemingly unfinished, but he was already smiling and silent.

Moreover, while leaving the suspense of "what aspects can be carried out in the direction of development", he also threw out a question, which he also wanted to know, Gu Heng's early expectations for Renren.com, or rather, to see how big Gu Heng's ambitions were.

Gu Heng didn't fall into the set, so he changed the topic and asked with a smile: "I heard Josie say that your biggest dream is to buy an island, a very interesting dream!"

"Wouldn't it be interesting to buy a desert island and spend the rest of your life slowly building it into your ideal dream kingdom?"

Tang Jun showed a leisurely and fascinated magic at the right time, which was completely different from the appearance he was talking about just now, this contrast between before and after made Gu Heng feel stunned for a while.

Turning a desert island into an ideal fantasy kingdom sounds like a good idea!

Josie began to pour cold water at the right time, and said: "As far as the James Island in Canada that you sent me last time is currently priced at $60 million to $70 million. In addition, do you know what it means to be a desert island? It means that there is no water, no electricity, no internet, no roads, nothing on it, and you have to frame it all up and develop it into a tourist destination comparable to Hawaii, and your subsequent investment is expected to be more than 10 times that of buying an island, and your life expectancy is estimated to be 80 years old, and half of your life is 40 years, that is, you have nine years to earn that 700 million dollars. ”

Yes, it's Josie!

Hearing this merciless pouring of cold water, Gu Heng almost didn't laugh, the idea of developing a desert island that arose just now seemed to be quite good, and then dispelled it, a fool would do such a thing, with that spare money, he would rather build his hometown into a resort, at least for the benefit of the township.

Of course, with different concepts, he thinks he won't do that, but he won't easily deny other people's dreams.

Tang Jun said leisurely: "Josy, you can curse me for a short life, but you can't slander my dreams. ”

Is 80 years old also short-lived?

Although Gu Heng was speechless, he stretched out his hand at the right time and said: "Tom, now I sincerely invite you to join my upcoming Hengchuang Investment Group, I can give you two choices, first, after three years, I will give you three percent of the group's shares, and the working period is nine years, that is, the day you retire at the age of forty." Second, on your 40th birthday, I will give you a desert island and bear the follow-up development costs, if I can't get the funds by then, the company will belong to you, and I will go to the desert island to survive. ”

In the end, Gu Heng threw out an olive branch, and what prompted him to make up his mind was not his previous eloquent conversation, nor his legendary resume, but from his dream at the end and the conversation with Josie.

Only a child will unswervingly work towards his dreams, and if a person of Josie's character is willing to maintain this friendship for decades, then there must be some human qualities in the other party.

He still doesn't know enough about Tang Jun, but he believes in Josie.
