Chapter 126: Light up the lights of thousands of homes
People with more experience actually know by listening to the name, can the three words "Youth Daily" be used by ordinary units?
This is an organ newspaper.
From the perspective of the general public, the general public has little contact with this kind of media, and the influence and dissemination of this publication seem to be not worth mentioning.
But in some certain groups, its significance is not trivial, because in a way it can represent the official attitude.
This is not an opportunity that can be bought with a little money, Liu Jianni was afraid that he was inexperienced after hearing about it, and specially told him to pay great attention to it.
In short, Lin Yi did not have the swaggering attitude towards the school newspaper before, but showed 120,000 points of sincerity and caution.
He originally planned to call his senior sister back together, and the three of them participated in this interview together to show that he valued this opportunity, but he didn't dispel this idea until he communicated with the other party according to the contact information on the invitation letter.
Lin Yi returned to Sijiu City again one day at the end of April, and it had been more than half a month since he last returned to Beijing from Yangcheng.
After he landed, he didn't go to anyone, and directly took a taxi to the agreed interview location.
Lin arrived early, so he waited there for a while, and then met another subject who was going to be interviewed with him today.
It's Zhang Xuhao.
When Lin Yi learned this, he still laughed at himself and thought too much about it, and sure enough, he and the cards under the casual takeaway network were not qualified to be on the "Youth Daily" alone.
Zhang Xuhao, like him, attaches great importance to today's interview, and dresses upright and meticulously, which is very different from the last time we met.
Lin Yi said hello: "When I received the interview letter, I was thinking about whether to bring the other two partners together, and later they told me that I was with Mr. Zhang today." ”
Zhang Xuhao didn't seem to want to whisper here, but simply responded: "It shows that our decision to join forces this time is very correct." ”
Indeed, the effect of this event has repeatedly exceeded Lin Yi's expectations, especially today's interview, which can only be said to be an unexpected gain.
After a few words of greeting, probably knowing that the two of them had arrived, a female reporter soon came forward to entertain them, looking around thirty, not outstanding in appearance but with a rare intellectual temperament, after shaking hands with the two, she introduced herself:
"My name is Wang Ke, and I'm going to interview the two of you today."
Because they don't have to be on camera, they don't have makeup, and after Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao introduced them respectively, it was officially started.
Female reporter Wang Ke spoke: "I'll just call you Mark and Lin Yi, one of you is 85 years old, and the other is 94 years old, both of you are very young." ”
Mark is the guy's English name.
Zhang Xuhao said with a smile: "I originally thought I was very young, but when I saw him, this sense of crisis came out all of a sudden." ”
Wang Ke said: "Then let's talk about it in order of age." Mark, you're only 27 years old this year but you've been in business for a few years, how did you come up with the idea of starting a business? ”
This is not the first time Zhang Xuhao has been interviewed, and this story has already been told.
"Yes, it was in 2008, when I was a graduate student at Minhang Jiaotong University, and a few of my classmates, who were my later business partners, felt that the life of graduate school was not what we really wanted."
"A few of us are actually professional in building energy conservation, and of course the first consideration is this direction when we want to start a business, but at that time, this industry was just starting in China, and it was largely driven by resources rather than technology, and we young people may not be able to play."
"Later, it was a chance to think that the so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, we thought that food is indispensable for everyone, so can we do something about it......
Zhang Xuhao shared this story that he didn't know how many times he had told it, and the female reporter listened while making simple records.
In fact, Wang Ke had done his homework before the interview, and a lot of these materials had already been prepared, so after listening to it, he naturally turned the topic to Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, you are only this year, wow, eighteen years old, what a nostalgic age. If I'm not mistaken, you're just a freshman, how did you come up with the idea of starting a business so early? ”
Lin Yi knew that Wang Ke's question was not fanciful but purposeful, but his reaction was a little exaggerated, probably to liven up the atmosphere.
This link should ask about the "original intention".
"We have similarities with Eleme in many places, for example, we are also a three-person partnership, for example, we are not the kind of students who keep to themselves."
"Actually, I had the idea of starting a business very early on, and I started preparing for it before I went to university, so it wasn't a temporary decision."
Wang Ke foreshadowed: "At that time, everyone should still be fighting for the college entrance examination, are you already thinking about starting a business?" ”
"Just a thought."
Lin Yi boasted about Linzhong: "Maybe I'm more fortunate because my high school is not a very strict school, and the principal has always told us that the college entrance examination is not the purpose of education, so I can have space to do some free imagination." ”
"When I was in my third year of high school, Apple's Gang Leader Joe passed away, and everyone was talking about this person very hotly during that time, and a classmate gave me a biography of Joe's Gang Leader."
Wang Ke asked Lin Yi more questions, not because he was more interested, but because Lin Yi had no public interview before, so there was less information.
"Then did you read the biography of Gang Leader Qiao and came up with the idea of starting a business?"
Lin Yi knew that there would be such a misunderstanding: "Not exactly, because that biography is the original English version, and it is very thick, which is too difficult for me to read." ”
After making the other two people laugh, he continued, "Gang Master Joe is certainly a great man who has changed the world in some way. ”
Wang Ke patiently continued to ask questions: "So you plan to change the world in an underground garage in Silicon Valley like him?" ”
"It's not just Silicon Valley that can change the world."
He turned to Zhang Xuhao beside him: "In fact, what we are doing now cannot find a successful precedent on the other side of the ocean. ”
Zhang Xuhao nodded in agreement.
Lin Yi continued: "Although the Qiao gang leader himself and Apple are amazing, I have no intention of emulating them. Although the Apple phone is good in everything, there is still an important flaw. ”
He paused, and said in the female reporter's just right puzzled eyes:
"That's expensive."
Wang Ke and Zhang Xuhao both laughed, and the former also put away the iPhone he had originally put on the table, they knew that Lin Yi's words were not finished yet.
"I never look forward to becoming a company like Apple, because in my heart, technology is not an expensive toy for a few people, but should go to every ordinary person and light up the lights of thousands of homes."
