Rebirth of the Industrial Internet

Chapter 228 Became the founder of Youtu Turtle

Sun Buqi mistakenly mistook Feng Jing for a lie, and made a big mistake. Instead of self-examination, he glared at Hong Lei, secretly blaming the other party for not reporting clearly on the phone, which caused a big mistake for him.

Embarrassing!

He held the visitor's big hand tightly with both hands, showing a look of sudden realization, "Mr. Chen, I know, you are..."

The visitor showed a naive smile and took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am Chen Shijun, from California. We have communicated many times through online emails, and we are considered old friends."

Now Chen Shijun is only 7 years old. He wears his iconic black-rimmed glasses and a beard. His face and neck are very thick, but his body shape is maintained well and there is not much sign of gaining weight.

When he came to the Boao Forum in later generations, he had already undergone brain tumor surgery and his appearance had changed slightly. At that time, Sun Buqi only stayed away from the forum and had limited contact with him.

Now face to face, Sun Buqi hesitated for a moment, not recognizing Chen Shijun's true identity.

Sun Buqi grabbed Chen Shijun's hand, shook it vigorously, and said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, you are our Chinese idol. I am very happy to see you... I'm sorry, I'm a bit too excited. Let's sit inside first."

When Wang An was doing computers, there were already computer companies such as IBM; when Jerry Yang founded Yahoo, Netscape also had similar services.

Domestic domestic Internet companies are all benchmarking against their American counterparts, Baidu is benchmarking against Google, Dangdang is benchmarking against Amazon, Alibaba is benchmarking against E-BAY, QQ is benchmarking against ICQQ, Kugou, and Tudou are benchmarking against locals. Later, Meituan, I’m Hungry.

No matter what, you can find matching companies on the other side of the ocean.

In the IT industry, there are countless Chinese who have made great achievements, but not many have made groundbreaking achievements. Chen Shijun is one of them, and he established a groundbreaking video sharing website.

Regarding Sun Buqi's attentiveness, Chen Shijun smiled with a smile on his face and didn't care too much in his heart.

He made a fortune at PayPal, but the business he was responsible for in China has never been developed, and his reputation has not spread to the country at all. He considers himself a nobody in the Internet industry, how can he support the pride of the Chinese people?

Chen Shijun stepped forward and patted Sun Buqi on the shoulder. He turned back to the guest, took the other person's arm, and walked quickly into the conference room. As he walked, he said, "Mr. Sun, the environment here is quiet, no wonder you produce such good ideas."

After the two of them sat down, he couldn't wait to tell the reason for his trip, "My colleagues and I have already made a preliminary video sharing plan, but the business model is not yet perfect. Seeing your suggestion online really woke me up."

Chinese. I will apply for a visa immediately and rush over to talk to you face to face. I hope you will give me some advice."

Chinese people have a restrained personality, and Sun Buqi is always well prepared. He can always take the initiative in the conversation when fighting heroes from all sides. However, this time he was at a disadvantage during the negotiation at home.

Chen Shijun wears black-framed eyes and has a naive smile, but he has a strong personal aura. Although he is in an away game, he has no stage fright and takes the initiative in the conversation with just a few words.

For the new company, he was already heavily in debt, and the server and broadband fees were paid with credit cards. The air tickets to China this time were paid for by his friends, but there was no look of embarrassment on his face.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Shijun stood up and danced about his dream.

"The original intention of our business is to build a video dating platform. Everyone can upload videos and introduce themselves to find a partner! The launch time is also scheduled to be on the 14th - Valentine's Day. From the email, I know you have different opinions.

We might as well talk freely."

Sun Buqi nodded and said calmly: "I'm not saying your idea is bad, but it's too narrow-minded. Why do you set a small circle for yourself first?"

Chen Shijun said without changing his expression, "Mr. Sun, you may have never really started a business, so you are a bit too naive. A good idea must first have a target group and social needs, then it is necessary to exist."

Hong Lei reminded loudly, "Mr. Chen, you are dead wrong! Mr. Sun single-handedly established a game studio, independently developed the World of Warcraft plug-in, and chatted and laughed with Baidu's Robin Li..."

Chen Shijun didn't seem to hear anything. He wrote and drew on the paper and pointed it out to the two of them.

"You may not know much about the national conditions of the United States. Let me give you a brief report. Small video recorders and mobile phones with video recording functions are fashionable gadgets in the hands of young people nowadays. Many people like to bring video recorders to parties and watch them over and over again.

Looking back at the footage of friends joking and even playing pranks on each other. Everyone likes to share short videos, and they are our target group!"

Sun Buqi shrugged, "Camera phones will soon become cheap goods. Everyone will have one. Not only young people like it, but everyone likes it. According to Maslow's theory, everyone has social needs and needs respect. Adults

When people see other people’s comments on the video, they feel secretly happy.”

Chen Shijun was a little dissatisfied, but still insisted on his own opinion. He scratched his nose and eyebrows, uploading too much content, and there was no focus on publicity. More content means higher server costs, and the landlord has no surplus.

Sun Buqi whispered a few words to Hong Lei, and the latter hurried out.

After a while, Qin Mengyao walked in and brought a laptop.

Sun Buqi pointed to the notebook, "Mr. Chen, this is a short film based on "World of Warcraft". It is a casual work of this lady. The video was uploaded to the forum, and in less than a week, it was viewed more than 10,000 times.

As far as I know, World of Warcraft is very popular in the United States, and I believe there are many game enthusiasts who like to share and watch game videos. This is also a demand, and it is not just for young people to pick up girls and make friends."

Qin Mengyao's short films were not shot randomly. She had a small dedicated production team, all professionals with relevant education. Sun Buqi said it in an understatement, and he also meant to bully Chen Shijun.

After hearing this, Chen Shijun watched the short film repeatedly, scrolled down the page, read a lot of comments, nodded, and said solemnly: "Mr. Sun, you have convinced me. In addition to love and marriage, making friends, games are also a good material. I

Will seriously consider it.”

Regarding the future of the video website, Sun Buqi had a strong say. Taking advantage of Chen Shijun's weakness, he began to talk about it, hoping to take more initiative in future cooperation.

Chen Shijun nodded frequently, as if he was satisfied. He was not a vegetarian either. He kept asking new questions and new methods, making Sun Buqi nod frequently.

The two sides were at each other's throats, and the intense exchanges dazzled Qin Mengyao on the side: Those peers who were showing off about playing computer games, or which food was delicious or which place was fun, seemed not to belong to the same world compared to the two of them.

At the end of the conversation, Chen Shijun extended an invitation, "We have decided to name the new website You Tu Turtle. Would you mind? I solemnly extend the invitation and hope that Mr. Sun can join our video team and let's create brilliance together."

Sun Buqi was waiting for this sentence and hurriedly stretched out his hands, "Of course, this is my honor. I'm just waiting for your invitation."

After becoming his own person, Chen Shijun openly and honestly outlined the staff structure of the new company: There are currently 10 engineers, all recruited from old colleagues at PayPal, without salary; two young partners Chad Hurley and Judd Ka

Lin Mu, including Sun Buqi, the total entrepreneurial team is 14 people.

At the gate of the airport, Chen Shijun jokingly put forward a new suggestion, "Brother Buqi, school has no meaning for you anymore, you can drop out and go to Silicon Valley... Hahaha, I am also a dropout, I am more experienced. The last one from the University of Champaign

During the semester, I didn’t go to class and went to work in Silicon Valley.”

Sun Buqi shrugged and was noncommittal. The national conditions of the two countries were different, and he could not lose his status as a student for the time being.

After seeing Chen Shijun off, Qin Mengyao looked worried and envious, and asked everyone's thoughts, "Brother Sun, are you going to the United States? Are you going to leave everything at home and start a business in the United States?" (To be continued)
