"Professor Hu is so kind to you, I heard that after you transferred to Berkeley, many students in your department also sent emails to Professor Hu, hoping to study for his PhD.

It may be that no one in the future can meet Professor Hu's requirements, and I haven't heard of anyone applying for Professor Hu's PhD last year. Zhou Xin's turn made Li Jingyi a little unsure of how to answer, so she talked about Professor Hu Zhengming.

Professor Hu Zhengming was going to come to Yan University every two years to do an academic exchange and give academic lectures to the students of the Department of Microelectronics of Yan University.

There were also classmates from Yan University who applied for Hu Zhengming's doctorate before, such as Zhang Zhongbo, who was born at Yan University.

So everyone speculated that Professor Hu Zhengming had preferential treatment for the students of Yan University, especially after Zhou Xin's appearance, this preferential treatment should be improved.

That's why a lot of people send emails to set magnets.

Zhou Xin replied: "It's good, Professor Hu is very high-level, and he is also a very good person, and he can grow up quickly by studying for a doctorate under him, the only drawback may be that the high requirements will be very stressful."

However, for Lord Yan, this is not a disadvantage. You just said that you originally planned to go to HKU to study computer science, how did you think about it?

There are many directions that can be turned in applied mathematics, why choose computers?

There are very few girls I know who would consider computer science. It's not because of sexism, but I don't think girls have much interest in this kind of pure machine interaction. ”

Li Jingyi was surprised that Zhou Xinhui took the initiative to mention gender discrimination, which is a topic that no one pays attention to in the current country.

As everyone knows, before Zhou Xin, it was okay in China, but the vast majority of gender issues in China only stayed on the Internet, and when I was in California, in reality, this kind of problem would be put on the platform if I didn't pay attention to it.

Li Jingyi said: "I am still very interested in computers, and I participated in the system switching when the PULAIS system developed by Yan University Library was switched to the UNICORN system purchased from Amerikena.

At that time, I was just doing some data verification and correction, because we also had to learn C, and I became interested in system development itself when I was doing system switching.

I then taught myself C++, and last year I participated in the construction of the Weiminghu BBS Forum, and it was also in the process of developing the Weiminghu BBS Forum that I made up my mind to switch to computer science at the graduate level.

It is a great sense of accomplishment that the software developed by yourself can be used by many people and loved by everyone.

Unlike mathematics, the sense of accomplishment in mathematics comes from the joy you bring to you in the process of approaching the truth. Applied mathematics is about combining mathematics with practical applications.

In fact, the best direction after graduating from the bachelor's degree in applied mathematics should be the financial industry, but I don't have much interest in the financial industry, it is not my interest.

Computers are much more interesting. ”

Computers, as an option for workers, are far less popular than those of later generations, and there is no way to mention what cosmic machines.

At present, there is no essential gap between the wage level of computers and other industries, and option incentives have not yet been popularized in China's Internet industry.

Therefore, finance and civil engineering are now the golden majors.

After listening to it, Zhou Xin said: "I had the same idea as you when I was making Internet products.

In the background, I can see the growth of the number of users, hear the feedback from users, and constantly optimize and iterate my app to make users more satisfied.

The monetary gain is secondary, and this kind of experience for people that they haven't had before, that's the most important thing.

It seems that there is a great deal of overlap in our thinking. ”

Female programmers are rare, especially those who love this profession from the bottom of their hearts. There are still a lot of female product managers and product operators.

"But the difference between us is that I don't usually do specific program development, I only ask for requirements. Except for when I was working on Angry Birds, I had to do some development work, and I didn't seem to do product development for the rest of the products.

At that time, there was no way to do "Angry Birds", and the whole body added up to more than 10,000 dollars, and I had to do the development myself to reduce the cost.

At that time, it was called a poor man, and he only had a little scholarship plus the salary of an internship at Microsoft, and the start-up funds obtained from the cooperation with New Oriental. ”

In the process of talking with Zhou Xin, Li Jingyi felt that the Zhou Xin in front of her was a kind of complement to the image of Zhou Xin she knew in the media, which made the other party more real.

In the image of Zhou Xin created by Huaguo Media, the other party seems to be omnipotent, and after making a choice in life, there is only the word success, and the employee who beckons him casually during the Microsoft internship will bow his head.

Li Jingyi asked: "So if Angry Birds fails, your first venture means failure."

Will there be no Quora, Riot Games, and NewPay products in the future? ”

Zhou Xin shook his head: "No, even if Angry Birds fails, I will still start a business, and there will still be a fist game."

It's just that compared to Riot Games today, if Angry Birds doesn't succeed, then Riot Games will only be a pure game forum, there will be no Riot Games Store, and it will not become an online game distribution channel.

Quora also won't have a fee-based service, and their speed of growth will be severely affected.

Angry Birds, most importantly, helped me determine the acceptance of electronic payments by the Amerikens, who were even more receptive than I expected.

The second point is that its success made me realize that users are willing to compromise on a good product.

Even if it is an unprecedented way to transfer money, an unprecedented way to pay for purchases, as long as your product is good enough, users will make concessions.

I don't know if you know about NewPay's incentive program. ”

Li Jingyi said: "I haven't heard of it, I only know that NewPay is an electronic payment software. ”

Zhou Xin continued: "Users can get incentives for registering a NewPay account, if you register with a mobile phone number, then you will get a $10 incentive, if you register with an email address, then the incentive is only $1.

There is an incentive in US dollars, but whenever a user has a mobile phone number, they will use the mobile phone number to complete the registration.

We found from the background data that during the incentive program, the number of users registered through mobile phone numbers was more than ten times that of email registration. ”

Li Jingyi quickly realized the unreasonableness of the incentive plan, and she immediately asked: "What if someone writes a program to register a NewPay account through an email address to defraud the incentive money?"

Although $1 is a small amount, it adds up to a lot of money. ”

Zhou Xin said: "To register a NewPay account, you also need to bind a bank card, register with an email address, and then bind a bank card, and only after these two steps are completed can you meet the requirements of the incentive plan."

The third point is that the success of Angry Birds made me realize that what you want to get, you have to give to your users first.

The free service offered to the user is even better than the paid service.

Angry Birds provides players with 10 free levels to experience, and Riot Games often has 1% off games for sale, and we have to make up the price difference to the game manufacturer in the middle of this 1% off game, and they will not accept this price to sell the game.

Includes NewPay's incentive money.

These free and even backward ways of subsidizing money are unavoidable in order to win users in the early days.

Talking and talking is off topic again, if this is the first time we meet in a blind date ceremony, my score in your heart will definitely fail. Zhou Xin laughed at himself.

Whether in the past or now, Zhou Xin is an extremely self-centered person who rarely and will not take into account the feelings of others.

That's why his experience in Washington was particularly uncomfortable for him, and he needed to take into account the thoughts and feelings of Amerionians in whatever he said and did.

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Li Jingyi was just smiling, but she was amused by him all of a sudden, and said with a smile like a flower: "Hahaha, so this is not a blind date."

The more we talked, the clearer it became that we were an interview, an interview that you took the initiative to propose.

I'm going to interview for your girlfriend's position, which is very rewarding, most likely a number of money that I won't make in my life, and more importantly, I can get in touch with things that I have never been exposed to before.

Just like you just said, from the establishment of the enterprise to the listing, the reception of dignitaries from various countries, etc., these are not necessarily exchanged for money.

Of course, because compared with foreign countries, China has to respect women more, and in the past 30 years, men and women are equal, and the idea of free love has been popularized, which leads you to hope that by talking to me, I will have the illusion that this is love.

Putting the plain words up front and then using small talk-style conversations to try to give me the illusion.

Actually, I think you're pretty weird, you just said it yourself, you just need a girlfriend, a girlfriend with a public identity.

You yourself say it so bluntly, but in the conversation, I have the illusion that you are longing for love. ”

Li Jingyi's straight ball made Zhou Xin unexpected, or the other party's gentle appearance made Zhou Xin think that he completely dominated the conversation.

It was only after Li Jingyi brought up the essence of their meeting and transaction again that Zhou Xin realized that she was a girl in science and engineering, and her emotional color would be lighter.

Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then said: "I haven't longed for love since my net worth exceeded 100 million."

Because every time someone comes around, I wonder if she's coming for my money or for me as a person.

Later I realized that there was no point in this question, because money was obtained by my own ability and experience, and it was also a part of me, and there was no point in dwelling on this issue.

After thinking about this, it's not that I don't crave love, but that I don't have time, no time to go from dating to falling in love to getting married with a girl like a normal person.

I didn't have the time, I didn't have the energy, and I didn't have the girls to make me willing to do it.

So from then on, I was going to go straight to finding a suitable trading partner.

As for why I say so much, it's because I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept such a naked deal, so I hope to share my experience with you to make you less resistant to this deal.

When we're together, it's essentially a deal, and it doesn't change anything because of my attitude towards you.

As for the things you can get, linguistically they don't seem to have any texture.

What entrepreneurship, financing, listing, and meeting with political leaders seem to be just a few words, but in fact, you will understand that this is a completely different life from your past.

As you just said, you have helped Yanda Weiminghu BBS to do development, and I believe that you are only a member of this team, and you are only responsible for development.

I can directly give you a team and let you lead the birth of a product, the users of Weiming Lake are nothing more than thousands, and the products you want to make are at least millions of people.

From four figures to at least seven figures, from one of the screws to the helm of the entire team.

It's a very different concept.

So if you're willing to accept it, then the deal is done, and I'll help you run a graduate school in computer science at Berkeley.

And when you were a graduate student at Berkeley, you had no problem interning at Microsoft, Yahoo, or a company under my name.

After you have some experience, I will arrange an entrepreneurial project for you to do, I will only give you a general idea, and you will implement the whole project.

During some public occasions, you need to be there with me, and that's about it.

As for the other, more intimate encounters, I fully respect your wishes and will speak of them when you are ready.

Of course, you just said that this is a job, so you can work for me for at least five years. If you want to break the contract after you promise, it will take five years to go, and if I fire you halfway, I will give you the corresponding compensation. ”

Li Jingyi got up and stretched out her hand to look at Zhou Xin: "The deal is done." ”

After Zhou Xin and Li Jingyi shook hands, they took out a bunch of keys and handed them to the other party: "The deal is done."

This is where I went out at the west gate of Yanda, there is a community called Beiheyan, I bought a duplex there, you can go and live at any time. ”

was rejected, Zhou Xin never thought of this possibility.

At that lecture at New Oriental, he gave several girls email addresses, one refused, and the next one.

It's not like everyone says no.

He doesn't think he's very handsome, but he can still be called handsome, and he doesn't look like Jackma.

Therefore, after Zhou Xin decided to find a girlfriend from Yan University, he asked Wu Shiqiang to prepare the house.

It's also an asset investment.

Zhou Xin saw that Li Jingyi didn't take it, "You can see this as an employee benefit."

When the time comes, Wu Shiqiang will contact you, and he will help you with the big and small matters of studying in California, and on your terms, it will be more than enough to go to Berkeley. ”

What Zhou Xin didn't say was that with his letter of recommendation, any Chinese student could go to any university in Ameriken for further study.

"In addition, you need to go to Shenhai with me on the last day of the New Year's Day, and I will go to meet the leaders of Shenhai.

An occasion like a dinner party requires you to be with me.

In addition, Shenhai promised to build a semiconductor science and technology park for me on some land, and you can also go with me to have a look. ”

found a nominal girlfriend, which solved most of the troubles for Zhou Xin, and finally had a rhetoric in the face of various political marriages.

This matter is just a small thing for him.

But for Li Jingyi, the conversation just now was just a conversation, and after receiving the metallic key from Zhou Xinxin, she had a substantial feeling that her life would be turned upside down.

In the Beiheyan community, Li Jingyi didn't know where it was, but Zhou Xin said that she would know when she went out at the west gate of Yanda.

The house on the edge of the North Fourth Ring Road is still on the edge of Yanda, even if it is only 100 square meters, it is worth 400,000 RMB, which is an astronomical amount for her.

Zhou Xin heard from Wu Shiqiang that when he helped him buy a house on the edge of Yanda, 110 square meters, 500,000 RMB, he had a strong sense of happiness.

Even though Zhou Xin knew that this price was not low compared to the current general income level, he was already very happy just by hearing this price.

Later, starting a business in Shenhai was a small success, and the valuation of Xinxin Semiconductor exceeded one billion, and he was still in a very embarrassing situation when he bought a house in Shenhai.

Li Jingyi didn't tell her roommates after she returned to the dormitory, to be precise, she didn't tell anyone, because if she told her roommates like this, her roommates would think she was crazy.

"It's better to wait for them to come and ask me on the news, and I'll explain.

Now I'll have to explain it again when the time comes. ”

Briefly talk about what happened in the early hours of the morning before yesterday, I was woken up in pain at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and then went to the hospital to hang up for the emergency department, and finally diagnosed kidney colic caused by kidney stones turning into urinary stones.

It's still hurting.,I didn't write it out last night.,I barely wrote 4.6k today.,I'm trying to get back to normal tomorrow.6k update.。

Tomorrow will start the holiday, and you should be able to write it slowly.

In the end, the difference between today and yesterday is 8k, and I will make up for it, and it is not too much to ask for a monthly ticket at the end of last month.
