Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Old Wang, why are you back so early today?"

"There are no classes today."

"Don't you have classes today?"

"There's no class today anyway."

"Weird..."

Wang Ren was so angry that Chen Yu vomited blood. When he got home, he hid in the study without saying a word.

The wife was a little surprised: "Old Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

"I still can't see your temper. Is it because the funding department didn't approve it?"

"No need to approve, a rich man donated tens of millions a few days ago."

"Who donated it?"

"Chen Yu."

Wang Ren said unhappily.

"Hahaha, hahaha, Lao Wang, this is a good thing, why are you still not happy?"

"Are I happy? Isn't he donating money just to poach me?"

"Then did you agree?"

"No."

"Look, you are stubborn. Now you know how depressed you are."

His wife naturally knows Wang Ren's character.

He usually doesn't take advantage of others, and always talks about not being rewarded for his merits.

But now that Chen Yu has directly donated tens of millions of funds, he really feels uncomfortable.

"Capitalists are really bad."

Wang Ren sighed: "I didn't want to accept it originally, but the funds have not been approved for more than half a year, and it is difficult for these little guys who follow me."

"For their sake, so you accept it."

"Um."

"So while you are using the money donated by others, you still don't want to go to Huanyu Technology, and you are very torn."

"If that's all it is."

At this point, Wang Ren became even more angry: "Although I feel a little sorry, I just made up my mind not to go to Huanyu Technology."

"But how do you explain it to Chen Yu?"

"What kind of explanation do you want? I didn't ask him to donate it."

"Well……"

The wife was stunned.

This was the first time he saw his husband cheating like this.

"Don't look at me like this, I was forced to do it. But, you know how that guy Chen Yu dealt with me. Seeing that I didn't make any move, this guy directly poached all the graduate students I brought. So, in the next period, Time, I may not have any classes. Not only do I have no classes, this guy also threatened me. He said that if I didn’t agree, he would keep poaching my graduate students, leaving me with no graduate students to lead..."

"puff……"

The wife was amused by Wang Ren: "Is there such a person?"

"What do you think?"

"However, this also shows his sincerity towards you. By the way, how come those graduate students of yours left as soon as they were dug up."

"Twenty thousand yuan a month, if you change it for me, I'll leave too."

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

After complaining, Wang Ren told his wife all about the bad experiences of the past few days.

After hearing this, my wife thought for a while and then said seriously: "Old Wang, I think you need to think about it seriously."

"You still insist on letting me go to Huanyu Technology?"

"Again, academics don't have to be in institutions of higher learning. They can also be in commercial companies."

"Aren't I just afraid of being polluted by capital?"

"You're afraid of being polluted by capital, but do you think you won't be embarrassed by money in school?"

"this……"

Obviously, his wife touched on Wang Ren's pain points.

Institutions of higher learning seem to be simpler and don't deal with too many complicated things.

But it's not.

Institutions of higher learning also have difficulties. For example, these scientific research funds are not something you can apply for once you apply.

Especially when there are not many results, universities and commercial companies will naturally interrupt your research.

It may even be faster for institutions of higher learning to interrupt your research.

If you want to do nothing but do academic work and do scientific research, this is not possible anywhere, let alone in an institution of higher learning.

"Actually, I also understand this. Just let me think about it."

Without saying anything more, Wang Ren fell into deep thought.

His wife did not disturb Wang Ren anymore. She knew that she should give him a quiet space to think now.

A few days later, Chen Yu received a call from Wang Ren.

This made Chen Yu very strange, but he knew what this call meant.

This means that Professor Wang Ren should have figured it out.

After making an appointment, Chen Yu prepared to have a good chat with Professor Wang Ren.

"Chen Yu, I have a few questions to ask you."

Originally, Chen Yu wanted to make an appointment with Professor Wang Ren at a hotel near Peking University, but Wang Ren instead set the location in the physics department laboratory.

Although Chen Yu was a little strange, Chen Yu still came.

When Wang Ren saw Chen Yu, he had no other courtesy, but asked Chen Yu directly.

"Professor, please speak."

"Why do you want to make a photolithography machine?"

"Because we want to develop our own chips."

"Developing your own chips does not necessarily require a photolithography machine."

"This can be the case in other countries, but in our country, I don't think it is."

Wang Ren nodded.

He could understand Chen Yu's answer.

Because in fact, many of the topics studied by their university professors may have been studied in other countries.

But since they themselves have not studied it, they still need to study it.

Don't think this is unnecessary, it is very necessary at a critical moment.

Of course, he also knew that this would cost a huge amount of money.

"You know I'm a bit noble and have a bad temper. If I agree to join your Huanyu Technology, what conditions can you give me?"

"It's up to you to decide on salary and benefits. Of course, if you have no problem with this aspect, I can guarantee you that your salary and benefits will be no less than Mr. Lin. In addition, if you have any other projects that need to be studied, I can Build a laboratory for you. But for the time being, I can only verbally agree to this laboratory until Huanyu Technology has sufficient funds."

"I don't think I have any reason not to agree to such conditions. But..."

Wang Ren hesitated.

"Professor, what do you mean?"

"Actually, I want to tell you that I am very grateful to you for inviting me. Likewise, I am also very interested in wet lithography technology. But I cannot guarantee that with my joining, I will be able to help you solve your problems. .”

"Professor, you are worrying too much."

Chen Yu thought Professor Wang Ren had other conditions, but he didn't expect it to be this.

Immediately, Chen Yu told the truth: "Professor, maybe you don't know, but I don't think the wet lithography process can be developed at once. In fact, we don't have much confidence."

"Then you still spent so much money on it."

"Just because we are not sure, we have to do more."

"understood."

Wang Ren’s forehead.

He suddenly understood why Chen Yu spent so much energy poaching him.

The reason why he was poached was not because Chen Yu really thought that his joining would be able to develop this wet lithography technology at once.

Poaching him is the same as spending so much money on a photolithography machine.

This is the possibility they are aiming for.

Although this may or may not be a waste of time.

But if this could become a real possibility.

Then, Huanyu Technology’s huge investment will receive huge returns.

Speaking of which, this was a big gamble.

The bet failed, and Huanyu Technology lost all its money.

The bet is won, the blood is earned.

In spite of himself, Wang Ren admired Chen Yu a little.

Although Chen Yu is only as old as some of the graduate students he teaches, and is even two or three years younger than them.

But what Wang Ren didn't know was.

In Chen Yu’s strategy.

Even if he loses the bet on the lithography machine project, he will not lose all his money, he will just lose a little.

But if the bet wins, it's not as simple as making money with blood.

But...

Take it all.

"Lu Xue, how many venture capital companies have you invested in?"

"Fifth family, what about you?"

"I invested in 7 companies...but now no one from any of them has contacted us."

Vipshop Technology Co., Ltd.

Vipshop is a newly established e-commerce company recently registered by Lu Xue and Li Hui.

It wasn't originally called this name, but after thinking about it several times, I thought it was just ordinary.

Chen Yu took out the name "Vipshop" from his previous life and immediately agreed to the name.

However, although the company has been registered and the website has been published, in addition to the trend front line, the agency has also acquired two other third-tier brands. However, the dozens of venture capital companies that I invested in before have failed to make any money at all.

"Sister Hui, didn't Chen Yu say that these venture capitalists are rich?"

"But the question is whether these venture capital investors will invest in a small company like ours."

"Absolutely, you have to trust our model."

Just saying.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Hello, are you Vipshop?"

"Yes, hello, what's the matter?"

"Hello, we are from IDg Venture Capital. We have received your letter of intent for financing before. Our IDg President Xiong will personally visit your company to inspect it."

"Really, really?"

"Of course, we will send a fax to your company shortly, please check it carefully."

"Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hui jumped up excitedly.

"Sister Hui, has any venture capital responded to us?"

"Yes."

"Which one?"

"IDg, it's IDg."

As a star in the venture capital industry, IDg has invested in many well-known Internet companies in China.

There are many well-known technology companies with IDg presence.

Unexpectedly, their Vipshop also attracted IDg.

"They just said that their IDg president will come to our company for a personal inspection tomorrow. Lu Xue, we have to be prepared."

Although this inspection does not mean that you will invest.

But since he came in person, it already showed that IDg had great intentions.

If everything goes well, Vipshop is likely to win IDg’s investment.

"By the way, Lu Xue, you call Chen Yu and ask him to come over tomorrow."

"OK."

Both of them were a little excited.

In such a big scene, both of them immediately thought of Chen Yu.

As for why I thought of Chen Yu.

It was such a big scene, and they couldn't hold it any longer, so they had no choice but to ask Chen Yu to come back to calm things down.

But when Lu Xue called, Chen Yu had already arrived in Shencheng.

"Ah, Chen Yu, have you returned to Shencheng?"

"Just arrived."

"Why did you go to Shencheng?"

"It's a bit urgent, so I'll go back to Shencheng first."

Professor Wang Ren agreed, and Chen Yu immediately took Wang Ren to Shencheng.

He was afraid that Wang Ren would regret it.

"Then will you come to Beishi tomorrow?"

"Maybe I don't have time, what's wrong?"

"Tomorrow IDG said they will send someone to inspect it in person."

"Oh, it's okay, aren't we here with you?"

"We are still just students, how can we deal with it?"

"Classmate Lu, I am still a student."

"Tch, don't come."

"Well, I really can't come. Student Lu, I believe in your strength."

"Believe it or not, I don't even believe in myself. If our investment is lost, I want you to compensate."

"Okay, okay, if your investment is gone, I'll replenish it for you."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Helpless, Lu Xue hung up the phone.

"Lu Xue, when will Chen Yu come?"

"He said he couldn't come."

"No way, he won't come for such an important thing?"

"He said there's something urgent going on in Shencheng recently."

"This rich second generation."

Li Hui cursed.

In Li Hui's mind, Chen Yu must have gone back to deal with the affairs of their hot pot restaurant.

"Lu Xue, no matter what I say, you can't rely on men."

"Forget it, forget it, don't mention him, there are still us after all."

Lu Xue cheered herself up and said.

"I'm afraid I can't stand it."

"It's okay, Chen Yu said, in fact, these venture capital companies are not professional either."

"Are they still unprofessional?"

"Yes, Chen Yu said, if they are professional, they can start a website themselves. Why invest in us?"

"It sounds like it's true."

Li Hui was dubious.

But there is no half-measure at this moment. If Chen Yu doesn't come, won't their website still be open?

The next day.

Xiong Xiaoge, President of IDg China, came to Vipshop with a group of IDg representatives.

"Mr. Xiong, we have not long since established Vipshop, and the hardware conditions are a bit rudimentary. Please bear with us."

"Mr. Lu, you're welcome. When I was your age, I didn't have such great abilities."

"Mr. Xiong is so humble."

After exchanging polite words, Lu Xue and Li Hui introduced the situation of Vipshop to Xiong Xiaoge.

Of course, there’s nothing to say about the office space.

Because it was just established not long ago, the overall scale is not large.

Apart from an office area, the rest is a warehouse.

The main introduction is still the model of Vipshop.

"Mr. Xiong, this is the homepage of our Vipshop official website. I believe that Mr. Xiong and many representatives from IDg have entered our website. At the same time, our financing letter of intent also introduces our main business model of Vipshop. Here , let me add to you our positioning."

"We, Vipshop, are positioned as an e-commerce website that offers special sales. Currently, our main products are second- and third-tier brands. At the same time, the layout recommendations on our homepage are also different from traditional e-commerce websites. Take Huanyu Mall and Huanyu Department Store as examples. , the two major e-commerce platforms of Huanyu e-commerce cover too many product types, so it is impossible for their official homepages to recommend so many products. Their model can only adopt the standardization, price and brand model."

"But our Vipshop is different. Some of the products recommended on our Vipshop homepage will make a series of changes based on different customer groups at different times. For example, I now see that these products are recommended on the homepage, and I will refresh it. , what I saw was something else.”

When she first met Xiong Xiaoge, Lu Xue was a little nervous.

However, as he continued to introduce his products, Lu Xue had already entered the role.

"Is this an intelligent recommendation?"

Xiong Xiaoge was still discerning and saw this recommended pattern at once.

"Mr. Xiong has a keen eye, this is indeed an intelligent recommendation. We will recommend different products on the homepage according to different user groups. Of course, we do this not just for intelligent recommendation. Our intelligent recommendation actually simulates the real shopping space .”

"Simulating a real-life shopping space is interesting. Mr. Lu, can you tell us more about it?"

"sure."

Lu Xue explained again: "Let's take Huanyu E-commerce as an example. Because their platform is large enough, they can't recommend all the products. They can only operate based on price and brand. But in reality, we don't go shopping. In this way, when we go shopping in reality, we actually go from store to store, constantly choosing. When shopping, although we may pay attention to brands, we are more about finding clothes that suit us. In fact, we don’t even We’re not looking for clothes, we’re just shopping, and we can buy nothing, but we can shop for hours.”

"Especially for us girls, it is difficult for us to experience the fun of shopping on traditional e-commerce platforms. Therefore, we have created an intelligent recommendation model. On the one hand, this model can be closer to the user's taste. On the other hand, we can also allow users to experience the fun of shopping in reality.”

"Wonderful."

Xiong Xiaoge took the lead in applauding.

He had always felt that this website had completely avoided competition from major e-commerce giants, which was actually a highlight.

Unexpectedly, when it came to reality check, Vipshop gave him such a big surprise.

"Mr. Lu, I admire your Vipshop model very much. I think your model is not only very novel, but also avoids direct competition with giants. At the same time, I also very much agree with the simulated reality shopping concept you just mentioned. It should be unique to you, Vipshop. What I want to ask is, how do you ensure users’ interest in Vipshop, which is temporarily defined as a second-tier e-commerce website.”

"In fact, our model has been able to attract users very much. We use discounts, intelligent recommendations, simulated reality shopping, etc... and we will launch a flash sale model in the future."

“What is a flash sale?”

“It’s just a limited time sale.”

"Mr. Lu, you gave me another big surprise."

Xiong Xiaoge was very satisfied and continued to ask: "If we give up investing in you, and at the same time, other capital does not invest in your company for the time being, what model will you use to develop?"

"We are already working on this. If there is no venture capital for the time being, we will take the campus route first. For the time being, we will position the most important customer group at the campus student group. This group does not seem to be large, but In fact, it is the most mainstream online shopping group. Because we are students in school, we have certain advantages in promoting this group. At the same time, because we are targeting campus groups, our publicity costs may not be too high. , but the efficiency achieved is not low. Of course, the specifics depend on the actual situation."

“I think this strategy of starting on campus is a great one and you can do it now.”

Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Xiong for your suggestion."

"Don't thank me. Next, we have to bargain..."

Having said so much above, the next step is the main event.

However, this also made Lu Xue even more excited.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that IDg has already decided.

As for the next step, that is how much Vipshop is worth and how much money it will raise.

"I read your financing letter of intent and you are only willing to sell 10% of the shares, which is really too little."
