Chapter 416: Idealism and Realism

On the highway, a black Mercedes-Benz S sedan is driving smoothly.

In the co-pilot seat of the car, Chen Chen looked around the environment in the car, turned his head to look at the side, and asked, "Where did the car come from?" ”

"Bought it." Li Chuan replied while driving.

"You bought a car again?"

"Hmm."

"Why did you buy so many cars?"

"Open."

"You have so many cars, isn't it enough?"

"I don't have many cars, just three."

"Isn't three enough?"

"Enough is enough, but not appropriate."

"What do you mean?"

"The big cow is too flamboyant, I drive out to be recognized, and it is easy to attract black; Cullinan is the same, too flamboyant, and not suitable for his own drive; Alpha is a bit stupid and inconvenient to drive, and none of these three cars are suitable for transportation. ”

"You bought this car for transportation?"

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded and said: "This car has good handling, and it is relatively low-key, so it is very comfortable to use as a substitute for transportation." ”

"Mercedes-Benz is still low-key?"

"Mercedes Benz...... It's okay, it's better than the bull and Cullinan, right? ”

Li Chuan thought for a while and said: "Mercedes-Benz used to be a representative of luxury cars, but now it is nothing, and what can be seen everywhere on the road has long been rotten on the street...... Nowadays, many young people feel that Mercedes-Benz is no longer a luxury car, and in their eyes, the standard of luxury cars must be at least at the level of Porsche. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Chen Chen said with some incomprehension.

"Haven't you paid attention to public opinion?"

Li Chuan asked, and explained: "A few days ago, I swiped a video, it seems to be a female Beipiao who said it, she described the person who drives a Mercedes-Benz BMW as poor, and this remark has been recognized by many people." ”

"Where did you get it?"

"Tik Tok."

"Oh."

"Haven't you been scrolling through TikTok lately?"

"I work so much all day, how can I have time to watch Tik Tok."

"No matter how much work you have, you have to find time to watch Tik Tok."

Li Chuan said earnestly and comfortingly: "Brushing Douyin is not only for entertainment and relaxation, but also to keep you up with the pace of social development...... Douyin is a traffic center, what happens in society, what changes in the public's values, will be reflected in it first, if you don't brush Douyin for a long time, you can't accurately grasp the rhythm of the development of the times, lose this, what you want to do in the future, it will become very difficult. ”

Chenchen pursed his lips and said, "According to your meaning, Douyin must be brushed, and if you don't brush it, it will be eliminated by the times?" ”

"Almost."

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Chen disagreed with this point of view, and retorted: "Isn't it a plaything to lose your mind by brushing Douyin? Douyin is very addictive, and there is also an information cocoon, ordinary people spend hours on it, and all their time is wasted on it. ”

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you hear this?" ”

"It's all said on the Internet, it's been since last year, don't you know?"

"Where is the Internet? Which platform? ”

"This ...... Except for Douyin, other platforms seem to say so. ”

"Kuaishou said the same thing?"

"Kuaishou...... It doesn't seem to be. ”

Chen Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't played Kuaishou, so I don't know much about the specific situation, but I guess ...... It shouldn't be, after all, Kuaishou is also a short video platform, which is the same as Douyin, and they shouldn't say bad things about themselves. ”

"It's not Kuaishou, which platform is that?"

"Station B, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu all say so."

"It's mainly Station B, right?"

"Well, it seems to be."

Li Chuan smiled and did not speak.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Chen noticed Li Chuan's reaction and asked, "Isn't that right?" ”

"That's right, but it's one-sided."

"What's the one-sidedness?"

Li Chuan glanced at Chen Chen and explained: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, Douyin is easy to make people addicted and there is an information cocoon, which is its disadvantage, but what about its advantages? Don't you think about it? ”

"What are the advantages of Douyin?"

"Douyin has many advantages, it is in the form of short videos and live broadcasts for the public, which enriches people's entertainment life and greatly accelerates the speed at which people can obtain information.

In today's society, competition is very fierce, and ordinary people have a lot of pressure in their lives, and they want to relax and have fun after work or study. Although there are many ways to relax and entertain, most of them require a long time, such as playing games and watching movies, a game takes half an hour, a movie takes two hours, and many people don't have so much time.

Douyin short video solves this demand, so that people can use the fragmented time for entertainment and relaxation, waiting for a few minutes on the bus, waiting for a few seconds when the computer is turned on, you can open and swipe and take a look.

Another important point is that short videos can allow people to obtain a lot of information in a short period of time.

Now is the information age, the speed of information acquisition is very critical, if a person cannot obtain a large amount of information in a short period of time, it is difficult to survive in the current society.

I have already told you before, the key to accurately grasp the pace of development of the times is to obtain a large amount of information in a short period of time, and Douyin provides a channel in this regard.

In addition, Douyin also provides a lot of service or knowledge content, such as life tips, home purchase and decoration guides, travel guides, product evaluations, etc., which are closely related to life and are very useful to learn.

In the past, people wanted to learn these things, they had to check them themselves, which was not only time-consuming and laborious, but the results may not be accurate, but now with Douyin, you can learn by simply watching a video, and the content is relatively accurate, isn't this a good thing? ”

Li Chuan said a lot.

After listening to this, Chen Chen didn't find anything wrong, and his face couldn't help but become entangled: "If that's the case, then why are so many people scolding Douyin on the Internet?" ”

"Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles."

Li Chuan said with a smile: "The truth passed down by the ancestors shows that human society has been like this since ancient times, and it will continue to be in the future, am I not an example."

I do live broadcasts to bring goods, stimulate the economic cycle, create tax revenue and employment, which is my contribution to the society, but no one has ever praised me with these words, but every day scolds me for destroying the real economy, engaging in traffic monopoly or something. ”

"Aren't the people who scold you your competitors? You have touched their interests, and they will definitely scold you. ”

"Those who scold Douyin are also competitors."

"Are Bilibili and Douyin competitors?"

"Why not?"

"Station B is for long videos, Douyin is for short videos, and their fields are different."

"The field is different,But the rapid development of short video will greatly compress the living space of long video,There is also a conflict of interest between the two,From a business point of view,Douyin and B station belong to high-dimensional competition,The field of high-dimensional competition is very broad,Internet companies engage in these,Mainly around"traffic"。

The nature of 'traffic' can be understood as 'daily activity' and 'user usage time', these two indicators are the most important assets of the Internet industry, Douyin and Tencent, one does short videos, live broadcasts, and the other does instant messaging, which clearly belong to different industries, but they are inextricably contested, not because of this.

Douyin and Tencent, Douyin and Bilibili, Douyin and Meituan, these competitive relationships, in essence, are all the same. ”

"Oh."

Chen Chen understood, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Chuan turned his head to look at her again and asked, "Do you often watch Station B?" ”

"Not often."

Chen Chen shook his head and explained: "It's just that I watched it when I was in class before, and there are some courses on station B, which are more convenient to use, and they are free." In the past, I would sometimes open it and look at it, but now that I work, I basically don't look at it much. ”

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Station B is indeed a good platform, the community atmosphere is very good, full of idealistic spirit, and it is very suitable for the student party...... When the student party is in it, you will feel very comfortable, and the various values are very compatible, which is really attractive.

However, this is also its disadvantage, the strong idealistic atmosphere will make it difficult for many older people with conflicting values to fit in, and even if they barely fit in, they will be rejected in the end...... This phenomenon can lead to the result that when the user grows to a certain age, or when he or she steps into the workplace, he will slowly get out of it, just like you.

This is also a helpless thing, idealism and realism are inherently conflicting, when a person is still a student, there is no shortage of food, no lack of clothing, no pressure in life, idealism is no problem, but when he steps into society, in the face of the impact of real life, the original set does not work, real life pays attention to reality, if you have to maintain idealism in real life, then the end must not be much better.

Most people will understand this.

Therefore, station B is more like a university in the Internet industry, which is ideal and beautiful, but it is only a short period of time, in contrast, the short video platform represented by Douyin is more like the real society, which is full of dross, but most people have to live here all their lives. ”

After Li Chuan finished speaking, a trace of emotion appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.

Chen Chen noticed this, but he didn't speak, just silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Li Chuan spoke again and changed the subject.

"How's the greenhouse?"

"Halfway through, the skeleton has been almost built, it can be done in two days, and the cement road has been paved, but the ground inside the factory has not been paved, and now it is mainly building offices and walls, and the progress is very fast, and it will take about a month to complete it all."

"Do you have a video or a photo?"

Li Chuanguang listened to Chen Chen's introduction and couldn't accurately estimate the specific construction progress, so he wanted to see the video or photos of the construction site.

"Yes, do you want to watch it now?"

Chen Chen said, taking out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Wait a minute, I'm driving now, it's inconvenient, I'll see when I get to the place in a while."

"Okay."

Chen Chen answered and put the phone back in.

"You came here this time, is the work arranged?"

"It's arranged, I made it last week, and now my dad is watching over there, and Li Mengqi assists, so there will be no problems."

"Li Mengqi ......"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows.

He hadn't heard of the name "Li Mengqi" for a while, but when he suddenly mentioned it at this moment, he felt like a world away.

thinks that at the beginning, his impression of Li Mengqi was also extremely deep.

But no matter how deep the impression is, it can't stop the passage of time.

Li Chuan is usually very busy at work, and he doesn't have the time and energy to think about those messy things.

He hadn't heard anything about Li Mengqi for more than a month, so naturally he had almost forgotten about it.

At this moment, if Chen Chen hadn't mentioned it, he didn't know when he would have remembered it.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Chen noticed Li Chuan's abnormality and asked, "Speaking of Li Mengqi, are you excited?" ”

"Excited?"

Li Chuan glanced at Chen Chen in surprise, and said angrily: "Which eye of yours saw me excited?" ”

"I saw it in both eyes!"

"You don't talk nonsense here!"

Li Chuan scolded and said, "Li Mengqi is not such an important person, what am I excited about when I mention her?" I haven't seen her in over a month, and if you don't mention her, I'll forget about her. ”

"Hmph, you can pretend."

Chen Chen snorted coldly and said, "I forgot about her, who believes it?" You specify...... I dream of her every night! ”

"What kind of are you talking about!"

Li Chuan looked displeased and said, "Who am I, don't you know?" I still dream of her every night, if I really dream of her, the next day, I will call her and ask her to come over and warm my bed! ”

"You...... Scumbag! ”

"I'm a scumbag, and you don't know."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said with an indifferent face: "Dream lover, that's an idea that only innocent young men have, who is Lao Tzu?" Can you play this with her? It's a beautiful thought. ”

"You ......"

Chen Chen pointed at Li Chuan, a little angry and said, "You are a scumbag, and you are ashamed to say it, you ...... Do you still want a face?! ”

"Don't."

Li Chuan continued to say with an indifferent face: "I'm just a shameless scumbag, what do you want?" ”

Chen Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly reached out and pinched Li Chuan's waist fiercely.

"Wow~~...... What are you doing?! Crazy?! I'm driving! ”

"You stop the car first."

"Huh?"

"Stop the car! I'm going to beat you! ”

"You...... Sick, right? Li Chuan said in disbelief.

"You can't stop?"

Chen Chen said, stretching out his hand again.

"Eh, hey, when you get to the place in a while, you will beat it again, okay? It's not easy to park here. ”

"No! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to beat you up now! ”

"What are you doing, you...... Eh, okay, okay, I'll stop, I'll stop, I'll stop. ”

In the eyes of the surrounding passers-by, the black Mercedes-Benz suddenly turned on its right turn signal, and then slowly stopped on the side of the road.

Almost at the moment of stopping, there was a terrible scream from inside the car, which made people listen to it a little creepy.
