Chapter Eighty-Six: Learning from Successful People
On Sunday, Lu Zhou came to Ms. Yang's house as usual to tutor Han Mengqi in mathematics.
As soon as Ms. Yang went out, the little girl pulled Lu Zhou and asked, "I heard that you solved Zhou's conjecture?" ”
Lu Zhou glanced at the little girl strangely and nodded: "Well, it's all last week." ”
Han Mengqi gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Then you...... You won't be teaching me math in the future. ”
Lu Zhou asked, "Why don't you teach it?" ”
Han Mengqi whispered: "You have a million...... Do you still need to work part-time as a tutor? ”
What kind of logic is this, where is there too much money?
What's more, it's money picked up for nothing.
Learning is fun, but people are not machines after all, and it is tiring to study academics every day.
Every time I come to be a tutor, for Lu Zhou, it is actually a kind of relaxation. Thinking about some simple questions can not only change your mind, but also adjust your mood, and you can get a salary, so why not?
Lu Zhou sighed, took the book, and tapped it lightly on her head, "Don't talk nonsense, I know that it's not easy to make money, so I'll save some money for your wife, and hurry up when you make up classes." Take out the error book, as well as the paper from the last exam. ”
Suddenly knocked on the forehead, Han Mengqi glared at Lu Zhou dissatisfied.
But thinking that he still had to ask him, he just snorted in the end and honestly went to the schoolbag.
Taking the test paper and the wrong question book from the little girl's hand, Lu Zhou roughly checked her study this month.
Overall, it's not bad, at least he didn't miss the question he told her.
Just as Lu Zhou was checking the test papers, Han Mengqi cleared his throat and said, "I want you to teach me physics and chemistry...... May I? ”
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said: "Yes, it can be, but I don't know much about the science exam in your Suzhou Province, and I'm afraid the skills of the exam won't teach you much, at most it can only help you consolidate your knowledge points and solutions to various question types." ”
Lu Zhou had heard before that in several coastal provinces such as Jiangsu Province, the rules for science students' examinations seemed to be different from those in the mainland. It is not like they add a science comprehensive paper after the number of words, but in addition to the physics that must be tested in science, choose a course from the "primary four".
What else is there for the small college entrance examination, all A bonus points, in short, the rules are very troublesome, it's just a toss.
By the way, these are all things that Lu Zhou heard from Li Tao, the school committee member in the bedroom next door, who is a native of Jinling.
Han Mengqi: "It's okay! That's enough. ”
"Which school are you going to go to?" Do you have a goal? Lu Zhou asked.
"I'm going to rely on Jinling University to ......," Han Mengqi quickly added halfway through the words, "...... Because, I promised my cousin that I would go to the same university with her. ”
Lu Zhou glanced at her suspiciously, originally thinking that she would say something similar to "no matter which university, the farther away from that woman the better", "abroad, preferably the back side of the earth", but she didn't expect her study target to be the doorstep.
Of course, strange is strange, and he didn't say much.
After all, everyone has their own ambitions.
"If I'm not mistaken, Jinda's requirements for candidates in Soviet Province are that they must have double A's in physics and optional tests, so you have to work hard." Lu Zhou said casually.
Han Mengqi nodded energetically: "Hmm! I'll try! ”
……
At six o'clock in the evening, the tutoring ends.
Lu Zhou put on an apron, went to the kitchen to fry three side dishes, and stewed a pot of scallion and ginger crucian carp soup. He can't afford to buy valuable things, and Ms. Yang probably won't accept them, so she can only contribute a few delicacies if she thinks about it.
The meal was served, and Lu Zhou threw his apron onto the hook by the door.
At exactly six o'clock, Yang Danyun returned home.
As soon as she entered the door and smelled the overflowing fragrance, she glanced at Lu Zhou in a little surprise.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Do you want to eat together?" I did exactly three people's portions. ”
Slightly stunned, Yang Danyun immediately smiled: "Well, then please help me add a bowl of rice." ”
Han Mengqi pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and slipped to the bathroom.
At the dinner table, as always, there was silence.
If there were only two people eating, Han Mengqi would still be chattering non-stop, and finish the words that had been held all day at once, but when her mother was there, she didn't even have the interest in talking, and ate in silence.
Lu Zhou originally thought that the change in Han Mengqi's grades would more or less ease the relationship between her and her mother.
But now it seems that he is wishful thinking.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read......
In order to avoid an awkward atmosphere caused by silence, Lu Zhou had to bring the issues that were scheduled to be discussed after dinner to the dinner table-
About the self-designed campus train APP.
He wanted to hear the advice of Ms. Yang, a successful person.
After listening to Lu Zhou's question quietly, Yang Danyun said, "You made an APP?" ”
"Well, yes."
"Have you done product analysis?"
To Lu Zhou's surprise, Ms. Yang did not ask him how many users he had, nor did she ask what his software did, but instead threw out such a question.
Lu Zhou thought for a while and shook his head very honestly: "No." ”
If he was attracting venture capital, he would definitely not be able to admit it so frankly, but at this moment he is not here to attract venture capital, but to learn from experience, and it makes no sense to pretend to understand if he doesn't know it.
Ms. Yang thought for a moment and continued: "From the perspective of an investor, I can tell you a very basic logic, a high-quality investment project must be N+1 than the industry standard. ”
“N+1?”
"That's right, this 1 is your innovation point." Ms. Yang nodded and continued, "Of course, this is not enough. Investors are always looking at the dishes, and it can show the innovation of your project compared with other projects in the same industry, which only means that your project can enter the investor's menu capital. ”
After a pause, Ms. Yang continued.
"Talk about industry analysis, talk about market prospects, don't talk about those market shares that have nothing to do with themselves, the era of stupid people and more money has long passed, and now if you want to finance, that is, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. You have to use as short language as possible to make the investor see the shining point of the project, which is the part of 1. ”
Uh, it feels like it's troublesome.
However, Lu Zhou still listened very carefully.
These are valuable experiences that he could not learn in the classroom.
"I explained part 1, and then there was product analysis. For example, if I am an investor, you have to tell me clearly where your user base is, how many users there are, how many competitors there are, and how strong you are compared to your competitors. And most fundamentally, what means are your project ready to use to ultimately achieve profitability. ”
When she said this, Yang Danyun looked at Lu Zhou's eyes.
The penetrating gaze made Lu Zhou's breathing stop for half a second.
Soon, though, the pressure dissipated.
Taking a sip of the delicious fish soup, Ms. Yang gently put down the spoon and said in a calm tone, "It seems that you haven't thought about this." ”
Lu Zhou was silent for a while and nodded.
In fact, this project was originally done by him, if it wasn't for the inexplicable top of the hot search, no one would even know that there was this software, and it would not be favored by Director Zhang of the Software Institute, let alone be instigated by Director Lu to engage in the current "Campus Train Co., Ltd.", and get the 500,000 yuan entrepreneurial loan......
Later, all his energy was focused on the task of mathematical modeling competitions and systems, and the operation of the software was almost put aside. In addition, as soon as the back-to-school season passed, the user activity completely stopped, and it was only eleven when it moved twice, and after eleven, it continued to stand up, just like a stagnant water.
Therefore, the group of melon-eating people on the neck laughed at him for being cold, although it sounded harsh, but it was not unreasonable. So far, it has been headhunters rather than venture capitalists who have come to the door, and I think there is a reason for this......
"Actually, after listening to your project description, I want to ask you, since your user base is students, why do you only do train tickets? How many times a year can a student buy a train ticket? How sticky are users? If it looks like a branch later. Software such as Fupay or QQ directly has a built-in booking system as a sub-function, what do you think is the reason for users to keep a booking app in their mobile phones? Swipe tickets on a regular basis? Team? It's not that difficult for mobile platforms to learn from, and they can do it better than you with your ideas. ”
is worthy of being a strong woman who has been in the mall for a long time, and she is to the point when she sees the problem, and she asks him in a few words......
Lu Zhou suddenly felt that he seemed to be underestimating the Internet.
After a pause, Ms. Yang continued: "Of course, your project still has shining points, at least better than most entrepreneurs who can only do PPT and come out with half-finished products and fantasize about being photographed by venture capitalists. ”
"If you're not interested in managing a company, you can also choose to hire a professional manager, but I don't recommend that. For a company that is still in the incubation stage, no one knows how to run their own project better than the entrepreneur himself. And a professional manager who is willing to work in a company like yours that can't see tomorrow either has a brain in water or has impure motives. ”
When she said this, Ms. Yang could be said to be unceremonious.
However, Lu Zhou didn't feel embarrassed, after all, what is the situation of his shell-like company, he still has a bit of AC in his heart.
Lu Zhou thought for a while and asked seriously, "Then do you have any good suggestions?" ”
"One person's ability and energy are always limited, so why not find a few like-minded people to work on this project?" Ms. Yang said lightly, "There are also many professors engaged in scientific research in Jinling University, and they all have their own companies outside, and the one I know seems to be doing material research, and now they have all been listed." There is no conflict between doing scientific research and making money, the key is only what you position yourself and how to find a balance between what you are good at and what you are not good at. ”
After being silent for a long time, Lu Zhou nodded: "I will seriously consider your suggestion." ”
This conversation can be said to have benefited him a lot.
At least for now, he has a vague idea of how to do it.
Ms. Yang smiled and nodded approvingly.
Looking at Lu Zhou, who was talking to his mother, and Han Mengqi, who couldn't speak, felt a little unhappy in his heart for some reason, and muttered sullenly beside him: "Can't you stop discussing work matters during dinner?" ”
Her daughter's words made Ms. Yang stunned, and then fell silent.
Watching this scene from the side, although he didn't want to comment on other people's private affairs, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Indeed, as Ms. Yang said, people's energy is limited, and if you take care of one thing, you will lose the other.
However, even if you see it thoroughly, how many people can really find that balance?
Even a strong woman who has been on the battlefield in the business world for a long time has something she is not good at after all.
That's family......
