For a moment, I didn't know how to speak. Liu Jianguo smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful now, Xiaolin, although I also imagined it, you know, when I met you for the first time, you were still a high school student." ”

Liu Jianguo's incoherent words made Lin Fan smile, it was only a year, he also had a sense of vicissitudes, he didn't expect that there would be today at that time, and for a while Lin Fan also felt a little nostalgic.

Liu Jianguo shook the coffee spoon in his hand, he was still calming down his thoughts, leaving from Robin Li's office, he invited Lin Fan to sit here, firstly, because Lin Fan borrowed 10 million US dollars to surprise him, and in addition, he was also a little confused and wanted Lin Fan to give him some advice.

"A year ago, Liu was always the chief technology officer, and a year later, Mr. Liu has the identity of hundreds of millions of wealth, I am changing, and Mr. Liu is also changing?"

Lin Fan didn't know this, just because of Liu Jianguo's heart disease, others saw him as glamorous and led Baidu to be strong, but he felt bitter in his heart. Every entrepreneur is ambitious, but every startup company will only have one soul, and the rest of the partners will only be reduced to foils and subordinates, if the people who join the company later become subordinates, they will not have too many opinions, but they themselves have the intention of working, but they are also pioneers, and they will not be satisfied with this. And in his opinion, he is just a subordinate.

"Xiaolin, what do you think a real Internet practitioner should look like?"

"Freedom of heart, let go of dreams, use your dreams to change this life, change the world. Lin Fan didn't know why Liu Jianguo asked this question, but he still explained wholeheartedly, "The Internet is synonymous with miracles, we should have our own attitudes and thoughts, and then put it into practice, just as Baidu wants to make life more convenient, and mortals want to make the Internet safer." ”

Liu Jianguo did not speak, Baidu's concept is Li Yanhong's concept, and it has nothing to do with him. This is actually very common in startups, for example, when Facebook founder Dustin Moskowitz left Facebook, he said that Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook, and it has nothing to do with him. Every entrepreneur is gorgeous, but some are true geniuses.

"Xiaolin, why did you think about starting your own business in the first place, and did not agree to Mr. Li's invitation, as far as I know, Mr. Li is willing to give you two percent of the shares and let you enter the board of directors. ”

Lin Fan waved his hand, "Maybe I can't stand the restraints, as for the money, I'm confident that I can earn it." ”

"You're not afraid of failure?"

"Even if you failed then, would it be worse than now?"

Liu Jianguo was dumbfounded, but Lin Fan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and there was a faint intention of running away in Liu Jianguo's words. Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but be taken aback, Liu Jianguo wanted to get out of the portal? But this is not impossible, as far as Lin Fan knows, all the executives of Baidu entrepreneurship in the previous life left in the end, and it is not surprising that Liu Jianguo left.

But Lin Fan knew that so many people who left Baidu in his previous life were basically unknown to everyone, even if he could master a company, how could he compare with Baidu? "Mr. Liu, you don't want to leave Baidu, do you?"

"What do you think?" Liu Jianguo did not deny.

Liu Jianguo's confession to himself was obviously treating himself as a friend, which made Lin Fan want to dissuade Liu Jianguo more and more, and quickly organized the wording in his heart, "People always live towards death, always like to be moths, and walk towards the light, but they don't ignore that the result is death." It's not so much a dream as an obsession. ”

"I'm a Hongchen person, how can I see through Hongchen?" Liu Jianguo stood up directly, "Xiaolin, thank you for talking to me." ”

"Every entrepreneur is wonderful, but some are true geniuses. Why does the moon shine brightly? It's not because of the sun?"

"Then I'd rather be an inconspicuous star, shining alone on a moonlit and starry night. ”

Lin Fan leaned on his seat weakly, he didn't think to tell Robin Li that everyone has their own ambitions, so let him go.......

......

When Jack saw Lin Fan in mortals, Lin Fan had already returned to normal, "Taste this San Francisco coffee is not authentic, it was given by a friend of mine, and I don't understand it." ”

Jack took a sip, "The coffee is good, but the thing I'm going to say is better than this coffee." ”

"Oh?" Lin Fan was noncommittal.

"Lin, do you want to change the world with me?"

Lin Fan laughed, "Jack, this slogan sounds familiar, I should encourage you to say it." Also, I say this a lot, he's not that inflammatory. ”

A flush flashed across Jack's face, he was not good at words, and he had a language barrier, and what he said just now was the opening sentence he had been thinking about for a long time, and he was not a good persuader.

Lin Fan didn't speak again, but looked at Jack like this. After Jack's nervousness and panic, his whole person suddenly calmed down, "Lin, I think you already know what I'm coming from, I hope you can invest in my Twitter." ”

"Give me a reason, well, don't use this meme like changing the world. Lin Fan's face was serious, this kind of stalk can only be used by him, that's right, that's it.

"You're not kidding?"

"I'm not going to deceive someone who has come all the way. ”

Jack smiled, the first time he'd laughed while sitting here, and he paused before he started, "I had the idea for Twitter back in 2001, and I was thinking how cool it would be if a user's diary was open to everyone else in real time, and the user could update it anywhere, anytime. Then I went to work for Obvious, where I met Evan, and I realized that this concept can be expressed in microblogging......."

"Stop. Lin Fan was a little helpless, "Sir, I'm not interested in the development of your company, what I need is a reason that can convince me." ”

Jack was a little nono, "Lin, if I had to give me a reason, then my reason is: I want you to pay for my dream, I believe that 140 characters can change the world!"

Lin Fan was a little stunned, today the two of them talked to him about his dreams, he saw unwillingness and ambition in Liu Jianguo's eyes, but he saw only sincerity and persistence in Jack's eyes, although he had already made up his mind to invest in Twitter, at this time he was just pinching, but he was really a little shocked at the moment, some beautiful things cannot be tarnished by dirty means.

"Let's talk about investing. ”

Jack looked incredulous, and when he looked up, Lin Fan's eyes were full of encouragement and warmth.

PS: Historically, Liu Jianguo resigned in December 06 for unknown reasons
