Chapter 1295: Be Friends with the Trend
"Rochester...... oled......" muttered again, and Shan Rao asked Bian Xuedao: "Display panel?"
"The scientific name is organic light-emitting diode, which is a display technology. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After staring at Bian Xuedao for a few seconds, Shan Rao asked, "Do you want to lay out OLED?"
Bian Xuedao nodded and said: "I have a preliminary idea, but I haven't made a decision yet, it depends on the company's research results and the market prospect research report of professional institutions." β
After thinking about it, Shan Rao said: "This piece doesn't match Youdao's business at all!"
"It's not a match. β
Bian Xuedao stood up, walked to the window of the conference room, looked at the streets of San Francisco outside the window, and said, "But I still want to try." β
Shan Rao walked over, took Bian Xuedao's arm, and said softly: "I support you in whatever you do, I'm just afraid that you will be too tired." Money can't be earned, and with such a big mess, how much time do you have left for yourself...... And family?"
Raising his hand and putting his arm around Shan Rao's shoulder, he said: "I understand what you said, I am not a workaholic, I will decompose the work to professional managers and allocate my energy and time." β
Gently snuggling up to Bian Xuedao, Shan Rao stopped talking, and the two looked at San Francisco under the afterglow of the sunset, which felt like the two of them snuggling in front of the window of the Red Mansion and watching the campus in the evening.
After a while, Shan Rao said leisurely: "You are my world, to this day, I don't ask you to be gorgeous and dazzling, I only ask you to be healthy and peaceful." β
Outside the meeting room.
Another person who doesn't want to be gorgeous and dazzling, just wants to be healthy and peaceful, has been forced a little stunned by Bian Xuedao.
Su Yi was the first to discover Li Yu's strangeness.
Sending the documents in his hand back to the office, Su Yi took a glass of water with a paper cup and sent it to Li Yu, who was sitting in front of the computer and wearing headphones to type "crackling".
Seeing that Li Yu was ignoring the paper cup in front of him, Su Yi coughed lightly and asked, "What are you busy with?"
Hearing the question, Li Yu turned his head, saw Su Yi standing beside him and looked at him, quickly took off his headphones, and said with a smile: "Have you finished the meeting?"
Su Yi nodded slightly: "It's over." β
Putting the headphones on the office desktop, Li Yu looked at the computer screen and said, "I'm choosing a song!"
"Choose a song?" Su Yi asked confusedly, "What song to choose?"
"Pick ......"
Li Yu, who suddenly remembered something, looked around, and said, "I'll tell you when I eat in the evening." β

Dinner was served at a five-star hotel restaurant near the headquarters of Timona Entertainment.
The dining environment of the restaurant is good, the food is exquisite, it is the taste, it can't be said to be bad, but the taste gap with Bian Xuedao is a bit big.
Of course, in this kind of meal, the food does not matter, the focus is on communication.
Except for Bian Xuedao, a total of 7 people are qualified to serve at the table - Wen Congqian, Shan Rao, Su Yi, Li Yu, Zhang Xiaolong, Cai Zizhu, general manager of the North American branch of "KKI Technology", and Li Jingwei, the head of the public relations team.
The name Cai Zizhu is very literary, but I am not like that at all. With a height of more than 1.80 meters, a capable head, and a strong muscle, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with literature and art, nor does it have anything to do with programmers.
However, Cai Zizhu is a programmer who is very literary and artistic.
Cai Zizhu, whose image is very different from his name and personality, is Zhang Xiaolong's college classmate, the two are the same age, and he went to the United States to study after graduating from his bachelor's degree in 1991 and has stayed in the United States.
has lived in the United States for nearly 20 years, and Cai Zizhu is doing well.
He first worked at Microsoft for 8 years, and then resolutely left Seattle, where he could retire, and came to Silicon Valley to start a business with a pilgrimage mentality.
Like many entrepreneurs living in Silicon Valley, Cai Zizhu has succeeded and failed, and like many entrepreneurs living in Silicon Valley, he is learning new knowledge, capturing new ideas every day, and is on the road to entrepreneurship every day.
Because it was decided early on to set up a North American branch, Zhang Xiaolong contacted Cai Zizhu about 5 months ago, and after negotiating, Cai Zizhu's personal resume was reported to the general office and chairman's office of Youdao Group.
At that time, Liu Xingjian's team was still in the United States, and Bian Xuedao asked Liu Xingjian to touch Cai Zizhu's bottom and felt that there was no problem, so he agreed to Zhang Xiaolong's proposal and hired Cai Zizhu as the general manager of the North American branch of "KKI Technology".
From a certain point of view, Cai Zizhu, who has worked in a large enterprise like Microsoft, and then worked in Silicon Valley, is indeed an ideal agent choice if he has experience and channels.
Another new member, Li Jingwei, also has an extraordinary background.
3 months ago, for Li Jingwei's position, Bian Xuedao had a headache.
In Bian Xuedao's heart, KKI wants to open up the market in the United States as he wishes, first by technology, and secondly by public relations.
To a certain extent, an excellent public relations team is the key to determining the fate of KKI, and Bian Xuedao lacks this resource in his hands.
Youdao Group has its own public relations department in China, but this is the United States, and some domestic public relations experience and methods are not useful here. And a PR team that doesn't understand American politics, culture, and society is simply not up to the task of KKI's PR.
Two and a half months ago, the headhunter approached Li Jingwei, who was the deputy director of media relations in Deloitte's public relations department.
Li Jingwei's joining really made Bian Xuedao, Zhang Xiaolong and Cai Zizhu breathe a sigh of relief.
Born and raised in the United States, Li Jingwei graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Mass Communication, and after graduation, she worked as an assistant to the Senate press officer, worked as a White House intern, and later joined Bloomberg as a reporter for three years, and three years later joined Deloitte, one of the world's big four accounting firms, as a public relations officer.
It stands to reason that such a person, not to mention the newly established North American branch of "KKI Technology", even if he is hired by Youdao Group, may not be able to be easily invited.
However, things are so wonderful, Li Jingwei only took half a day to think, and agreed to join "KKI Technology".
Afterwards, Zhang Xiaolong and Cai Zizhu privately analyzed that it was very likely that Li Jingwei touched the ceiling of the rise at Deloitte, so she hit it off with the headhunter.
In the restaurant, the dining atmosphere of a table of people is very harmonious.
The root of harmony is that one is to learn the Tao and not put on a show, and the other is that Li Jingwei is witty.
Generally speaking, people will hang up after staying in a certain industry for a long time, and Li Jingwei is the best example.
36, 7-year-old Li Jingwei looks both intellectual and kind, with a medium speed of speech, laughing before speaking, and looking into someone's eyes when she talks to someone, which is very affinity.
Look at Li Jingwei, and then look at Zhang Xiaolong, who is serious and silent on most occasions, you can know that there are actually traces of which bowl of rice a person should eat in his life.
Eating and eating, Cai Zizhu gradually let go, and talked about his nostalgia for Seattle, in his words: "Although the sunshine in the Bay Area is good, there is no living atmosphere in a big city, especially the summer in Seattle, it is simply a paradise on earth......
Halfway through his words, Cai Zizhu looked at Li Jingwei, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Of course, it can't be compared with New York." β
Li Jingwei said with a smile: "Choosing a city is like choosing clothes, different aesthetics and different needs, so you have different opinions." Just like me, I think that New York is inferior to Seattle in all aspects except for more job opportunities, and if you really want to talk about a leisurely life, Seattle is not as good as the Bay Area, but the Bay Area ends at Mountain View to the south, and the San Jose comprehensive environment is worse. β
We chatted while eating, and ate a meal for about an hour and a half.
Before the end of the meal, Bian Xuedao toasted and gave a speech to boost morale: "There is a good saying - be friends with goodness, people are innocent, and be friends with trends, and things will be successful." About a year ago, when I discussed KKI with Mr. Zhang, we agreed that KKI would be a 'close to great product' because it represented a trend. Today, the overall performance of KKI in the first half month confirmed our original conjecture. However, as an investor or a loyal member of KKI, I don't want KKI to stop there, I want KKI to be a truly great product. My expectation, or confidence, comes from KKI's leading creativity, from the technical level of the KKI team, from the resource tilt of Youdao Group, and from the ability and character of all of you. β
"This cup, I salute everyone, I salute us to take off in the wind, I salute us to shape greatness together, I salute this era of unlimited opportunities, and I salute our bright future!
"Cheers!"
Several people in the room raised their glasses at the same time.
Cai Zizhu and Li Jingwei, who had eaten together for the first time, glanced at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Cai and Li, one started a business in Silicon Valley and the other worked as an executive in New York, both of whom are well-informed people who know the importance of "soul people" to a company.
What determines the level of the "soul character" is three elements - ability, realm, and charm.
Generally speaking, the ability determines the success rate of the entrepreneurial period, and its importance will decrease as the enterprise gets bigger and bigger, because large enterprises are like countries, and there is a think tank team behind the leaders, so whether the ability is strong or weak, it is not a matter of one person.
When the enterprise develops to a certain stage, the helmsman's vision and realm will have more and more influence on the enterprise. To put it simply, a small business is like a small boat, and when it finds itself in the wrong direction, it is better to change course and turn around. Large enterprises are like big ships, with large inertia and large turning radius, and it is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive to turn around. At this time, the sense of direction of the person at the helm is particularly important, and the sense of direction is more often not from ability, but from vision and realm.
Above the realm, it is charm.
People who can achieve great things in ancient and modern times, regardless of the right and wrong of their words and deeds, are almost all charismatic, such as Napoleon, such as xxx...... And so on and so forth.
Looking at history, there are some people, standing in front of the Ten Thousand Armies, who can make soldiers defect with just a few words. There are some people, as long as he stands on a high place and points in a certain direction, there will be millions of people who will raise their arms and cry out in unison, follow him to change the world, fight for him, die for him, do anything for him, even if they are covered in blood and fire.
Of course, entrepreneurs in peacetime cannot reach such heights, but the communication, cohesion, affinity, and motivation that constitute personal charm are still very high-level talents and skills.
Just now, Cai Zizhu and Li Jingwei saw their personal charm in Bian Xuedao.
Although his speech was very "positive" and completely different from the rational humor of Americans, his tone was confident and heavy, which made people agree with it and encourage it at the same time, but also make people faintly enthusiastic.
This new discovery shows that Youdao already has the "necessary elements" to become a great enterprise, and it is only luck and ambition.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It was already 21 o'clock at night when I came out of the hotel.
Zhang Xiaolong, Cai Zizhu, and Li Jingwei said goodbye and left, and Bian Xuedao and a few people took the car back to the top apartment.
In the apartment, several people drank a bottle and a half of red wine, and chatted until 22:40, Li Yu and Wen Congqian left together to live at Wen Congqian's house.
Su Yi couldn't follow Wen Congqian's house, and he couldn't go back to San Ramon, so he had to stay in the apartment.
The apartment is on the second floor.
Bian Xuedao and Shan Rao live in the master bedroom next to the staircase, and Su Yi lives in the west bedroom.
1:15 a.m.
After a series of battles, Shan Rao fell asleep in bed.
According to the calculation that ML is equal to running 3,000 meters, this night is equivalent to running 10,000 meters.
With such a large amount of exercise, and not much to eat for dinner, the hungry Bian Xuedao couldn't sleep, so he got out of bed with his feet and hands, quietly walked out of the room, and went downstairs to the kitchen to find food.
The night light in the apartment was lovely and well furnished, with no dark corners.
Walking into the kitchen, Bian Xuedao took out half a can of sweet corn, four slices of bread, and half a can of spam luncheon meat from the refrigerator, ate them all, and drank another box of yogurt, feeling that his stomach was bottomed, he simply cleaned up the table and prepared to go back to the room to sleep.
Stepping out of the kitchen lightly, he glanced up at the stairs and stopped at the same time.
At the staircase on the second floor, Su, who was wearing a white nightdress, stood in front of the door of the master bedroom with a water glass in his hand, looking at that posture, as if he was listening to the movement in the door.
This...... What is she listening to?
