Early the next morning, Yang Lin got up early and went to CCTV accompanied by bodyguards and Bai Hua to participate in the recording of the "Face to Face" column.

As a character interview column focused on promoting by CCTV News Channel, "Face to Face" is undoubted in terms of news, authority, attention and influence.

The people who can enter this column are all heavyweights, including the focus of news events, authoritative figures in news topics, influential figures in the changes of the times, and public figures who have attracted much attention.

Yang Lin was able to get the invitation to this program, which already shows his influence now.

For the column group of "Face to Face", it is also very rare to interview a young guest like Yang Lin.

After arriving at CCTV, a deputy director of CCTV came out to greet him.

After the two sides shook hands and exchanged two words, Yang Lin shook hands with the producers and hosts of the "Face to Face" column group one by one, and then the two sides made necessary communication on some of the questions to be answered in this interview.

Yang Lin also touched up his makeup with the help of a makeup artist, and then walked into the program recording room and had a face-to-face interview with the host Chen Jing.

Before the interview began, the host Chen Jing chatted with Yang Lin with her experience, slightly eliminating the strangeness and distance between each other, and then the formal interview began.

Chen Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, I'm glad you took the time to participate in today's show. In the eyes of young people, you are a young leader and entrepreneurial pioneer of the post-80s and post-90s, and your excellent strategic vision and the courage of the Chinese people have achieved an extraordinary career. But now, according to a survey, less than five percent of our country's university graduates succeed in starting a business. How do you see this phenomenon, and what do you think we should do to improve this success rate? ”

Yang Lin thought for a moment. "Starting a business is actually very difficult, and I am encouraging everyone to start a business on the one hand. On the other hand, I want to tell you a very real problem. 100 people started a business, 95 people died, you didn't even hear the voice, you didn't know that these 95 people existed. There are also 4 people, and you watched them die. There is still this 1 person, this person is very diligent but not necessarily the most diligent, this person is very hard working and smart, but not necessarily the smartest. There were a lot of chances, a lot of factors that made him successful. ”

"Entrepreneurship should always be thought of, I am starting a business for ten years and five years from now, not for today. Suppose you think that starting a business is for today. Because if someone else does this well today, I will do it, and your success rate will be very low. So a lot of times, I want to start a business with passion but patience. ”

Chen Jing laughed and asked, "Can you tell me what it was like when you started your business?" If you have nothing in your current situation, do you still have the pride to say that you want to be a godfather of entrepreneurship? ”

Yang Lin smiled: "First, I don't know what an entrepreneurial godfather is, I never wanted to be an entrepreneurial godfather." As for the situation when I started my business! At that time, I didn't think about it that much, I just thought about developing an APP and raising a fee for surgery that could treat my sister. But I didn't expect this app to be so successful, and some things are actually quite coincidental. I know there are a lot of people who have seen my success and thrown themselves into the mobile app development industry, but I want to tell you that in any industry, the pioneers will always make more money than the followers. Therefore, I hope that when you start a business, you will not be limited to certain industries. Unless, of course, you're particularly confident in your project! ”

Chen Jing said: "The situation you mentioned is actually often seen around us. If an industry becomes popular, there will be a group of people swarming into the industry. But in the end, only a few succeeded. I have a question, though, and it stands to reason. Matrix Optimization has been a huge success, and you can let Matrix Optimization grow slowly, so why would you want to invest in a project like MatrixOS that seems to have little hope? Knowing that Android and iOS were competing for supremacy in the mobile space at that time, and even Microsoft's Windowsphone was defeated, why do you think you can succeed? ”

Yang Lin smiled: "There are many reasons, let me talk about two main points. First, as we all know, the success of [Matrix Optimization] is based on the continuous expansion of the Android system, if one Android falls, then [Matrix Optimization] will also die. In my opinion, this is not safe. Second, I have a particular stubbornness about being a person who will do whatever it takes if I come up with an idea and think it has a good chance of succeeding! At that time, I happened to make a lot of money through [Matrix Optimization], so I put all this money into MatrixOS, which was a big gamble, and luckily, I won! ”

Chen Jing said: "We know that you came to the capital this time to participate in the two sessions as a representative of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and some media reports say that you may be one of the youngest delegates to the two sessions. ”

Yang Lin smiled: "I am very happy to participate in the two sessions as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, for me, this is not only an honor, but also a heavy responsibility." As for the proposal, I can only say that it is related to the application of artificial intelligence in the future industrial field......"

……

As the interview progressed, Yang Lin also began to get better.

Next, Yang Lin and Chen Jing chatted about the topic of artificial intelligence, and the entire interview recording time lasted for nearly two hours before it ended.

This face-to-face program will not be broadcast immediately, but will not be on the screen to meet the audience until the end of the two sessions a week later.

And Yang Lin also began his first trip to the two sessions.

On March 15, 2015, the annual National People's Political Consultative Conference was officially held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Yang Lin attended the meeting as an ordinary delegate.

But in the eyes of the media, Yang Lin is not ordinary.

Not only because he is at the helm of Matrix Digital, but also because he is the only two delegates under the age of 30 at this CPPCC meeting - the other representative is a well-known religious figure with a special status.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Yang Lin is the youngest member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) by virtue of his own efforts.

This made him the focus of the event. (To be continued......)
