My Age of Investment

"Dailun broke my inherent impression of Chinese boys. Before that, I always believed that Chinese boys are not good at other skills, such as entrepreneurship or social interaction, except for their good academic performance."

A user with a profile picture of a blond babes in Facebook's "Derron group" wrote on a message board.

Soon, there were many more comments below this message.

"There are excellent people in every race and every country, but Dylan is only a very individual, not representative of Chinese boys as a whole. I still think Chinese boys are unattractive."

"Do you think Daeron has a chance to be the next Jerry Young?"

"Everything is possible!"

"I think he's the most handsome Asian boy I've ever met."

...

Xia Jingxing looked at the computer screen and laughed. He didn't expect that someone had created a group for him, and 500 people joined the group, most of them were girls, and the discussions were about "Chinese boys", "" Entrepreneurship" etc.

There are also several sets of photos of him in the group file, all of which were taken during an interview with the school newspaper.

Christina walked over with a newspaper in her hand and patted it on the table, "Look, the interview with the San Francisco Evening News is out."

Xia Jingxing picked up the newspaper and looked at it, why is the title so dazzling?

The American Dream of Stanford Chinese Boys.

In addition to the text report, a group photo of the three founding team was also attached. Xia Jingxing was sitting in the middle of the sofa, with Yang Niu and Puppy on the left and right.

The photos are not bad, Xia Jingxing is dignified and dignified; the foreign girl is young and beautiful, and the puppy is slightly wretched.

"It must have offended that Millie that day. I only showed five points of handsomeness in the photo."

Yang Niu gave him a surprised look, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "These media like to make exaggerated headlines to attract attention. If you are serious, you will lose."

Yang Niu pointed to the newspaper and said, "You better read the content and then talk about it."

Xia Jingxing picked up the newspaper on the table and read it carefully, Yang Niu stood beside him with his arms folded.

Most of the interviews and reports have not been edited, and only a small part has been processed.

Reporter Millie: Why did you come to the United States to study in the first place?

Darren: I like computers, and the free and open atmosphere of the United States is more suitable for technology entrepreneurship.

Reporter Millie: What is the difference between the United States and China?

Dylan: The United States is the safest and most developed country in the world, with the most advanced military weapons and technological strength, and a prosperous economy...  

Xia Jingxing had no interest in reading any further, and threw the newspaper on the table, "This is just a fabrication, that's not what I said."

Yang Niu glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Would you like to find Andrew and send them a lawyer's letter?"

Xia Jingxing was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he realized that the gains outweighed the losses.

When things got bigger, it was only bad for him, not good.

I still have to do business in the United States, and it’s okay to endure the humiliation for a while.

This incident also reminded him that he must pay attention when dealing with the American media in the future.

Chinese students have made great achievements in starting businesses in the United States.

What a good news subject this is!

If someone with intentions makes use of it, it may become an article that smears the motherland.

And he will cut himself off from the people.

He's now a bit of an unsung hero who breaks into the enemy's interior, unable to expose or harm allies.

At this time, the phone that was thrown on the table "beep beep" rang, Xia Jingxing picked it up and saw that it was the call from the account manager Liu Hai.

"Brother, it's alright, you've all been listed in the "San Francisco Evening News" on Facebook. It's too good for us Chinese."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Hai smiled heartily.

"Haha, Brother Hai, you have won the prize. This achievement is trivial, and you still need to work hard."

Liu Hai's service is very good. He often calls Xia Jingxing. When the company opened, he sent a picture of Dapeng's wings.

After going back and forth, everyone gradually became familiar with him, and Xia Jingxing called him "Brother Hai".

This is mainly because the other party does not rely on being an American to be superior to others. Instead, he has a strong Chinese culture and temperament, has a sense of intimacy, and is not alienated.

Compared with Millie, they are completely two kinds of Chinese.

From a glimpse, this is also a true portrayal of the polarization of Chinese Americans in the United States.

"According to the feedback from the back-office department, you seem to be making a lot of money recently. Do you have any financing needs?"

Xia Jingxing smiled and he knew that the call was not just for congratulations.

But I also understand that, after all, it is necessary to have a good meal!

"Brother Hai, we don't need financing for the time being. It's better to be safe."

Xia Jingxing still had a fresh memory of the last time he almost exploded.

Although he knew the general situation, he did not understand everything in detail.

He didn't dare to add leverage casually. The most important thing was to preserve the current fruits of victory.

When he heard that Xia Jingxing was not interested in financing, Liu Hai also stopped the topic very interestingly: "That line, feel free to contact me if you need it."

After chatting for a few more words, Xia Jingxing hung up the phone, seeing Yang Niu still standing beside him, he wondered, "Is there anything else?"

"I'll report to you on the progress of the work."

Xia Jingxing nodded, pointed to the seat next to him, and motioned her to sit down.

After Kristina sat down, she started reporting.

"After the registration restrictions were lifted, the growth rate of our users has more than tripled compared to before, and there are tens of thousands of new registrations every day."

Yang Niu smiled brightly, this is her suggestion, and now it is very effective, and she is also happy and proud from the heart.

Xia Jingxing praised Yang Niu with a smile and reminded:

"But we can't just focus on this one data, we also need to pay attention to those schools with slow user growth, understand what is causing it, and speed up the process of full coverage."

"Yes, I also found this problem."

Yang Niu nodded heavily, "Some schools registered dozens of users on the first day, hundreds of users on the second day, and directly broke the thousand mark on the third day.

Some schools registered dozens of users on the first day, 100 users on the second day, and 150 users on the third day.

In other schools, there are only a few registered users, and several days have passed, but there are still so many people, no increase at all..."

Yang Niu showed a thoughtful expression, "I thought about it seriously, it should be related to scale effect and exponential growth."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, there is this reason, but do you understand the deeper reasons behind it?"

"I think it's still a matter of popularity and lack of advertising."

Speaking of this, Yang Niu looked angry, "Our group has contacted many universities, some people are very willing to help us promote Facebook on campus, and some people don't take it seriously.

Some people even promised well on the phone, but they didn't actually do it at all. "

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "This is normal. First of all, we didn't give them any benefits, and secondly, we didn't sign the agreement. Why should others help us?"

"Otherwise we will spend money, not too much, one thousand dollars per university."

Seeing that Xia Jingxing's face was wrong, Yang Niu immediately changed her words, "Oh, no, five hundred dollars should be enough."

Xia Jingxing followed her words and continued, "Then our $500,000 is just enough for the promotion of a thousand universities.

Set aside one year's salary and other expenses, at most $200,000 can be spent to do this, and it can only cover 400 universities.

Also, some students won't necessarily be bought by you for $500. "

"I'm just saying that, I really want to spend money, and I'm still a little reluctant."

Seeing Xia Jingxing's objection, Yang Niu no longer insisted on her own ideas.

"No money, in fact, we can give other rewards."

Xia Jingxing suddenly thought of a good idea.

Yang Niu's words reminded him that he must give the horse some grass so that the horse can run fast.

"Other rewards? Don't you need to spend money?" Yang Niu continued to ask.

"Money, of course, still has to be spent, but it is more valuable."

Xia Jingxing smiled mysteriously.
