Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 225 WeChat version 2.0 press conference

The final exam, for college students, is probably one of the few exams in school that needs to be taken seriously.

Of course, I might not be that serious.

Except for some majors that are really very professional and difficult to learn, the final exam content of most courses is relatively simple.

Under normal circumstances, with the scope and key points of the exam disclosed by the teacher, and a week of surprise review before the exam, you can basically ensure a pass.

As for Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan, the final exam was naturally not that difficult, at least they would not fail.

It's just that I usually focus on the development of the company. Even if I am as strong as Yan Chijian, I guess I just need to maintain a good grade line, and don't need to think about scholarships or anything like that.

Compared to these two people, Zhang Nong is more powerful.

Even though he often takes time off from school, he spends a lot of time on the promotion and expansion of the Eat.me food delivery platform.

But every day after he returned to his dormitory exhausted, he would preview and review based on today's classes, mostly by self-study, plus the class notes that Jian Jiashu had prepared for him.

As a result, he basically encountered no problems that troubled him during today's exam and still maintained a high level of academic performance.

And with the end of the final exam, Zhang Nong has also fully devoted himself to the last wave of rapid expansion of E-Me takeout before the end of the year.

Jian Jiashu and Lu Pengyou were not in a hurry to go home after the exam. They simply accompanied Zhang Nong and helped him with some things.

Although the final exams at Min University have ended, some universities may still have one or two weeks before the final exams.

Taking advantage of this stage, Zhang Nong immediately launched an offensive against the remaining universities before the end of the semester.

As the final exam approaches, the utilization rate of university libraries increases rapidly, and the demand for takeaways among college students will also increase.

Seizing this wave of opportunities, Zhang Nong is very confident to complete full coverage of the Shanghai university market before the Chinese New Year.

"It feels like we are really going to be a big deal this time." Lu Pengyou sat in the store provided for free by Min University, looking at the data of the recent period, and praised it twice, "To achieve this level, you can find it anywhere

Can every internet venture capital investor make a lot of money?"

"No matter how big the business is, it will only be done by Xu Xing." Jian Jiashu laughed beside him, "He had the courage to spend so much money to do this, so the rewards now are natural."

"Damn, I'm so envious." Lu Pengyou yelled, "If I had only known that I would have invested some money and held a small share of the shares, if Brother Xu really became famous this time, wouldn't I have just followed the popular ones and drank spicy food?"

?”

"Before the matter is done, do you dare to just throw tens of thousands of dollars into it?" Jian Jiashu shook his head, "How can it be so big now? Although Xu Xing is not on the front line, there are many actions behind the scenes.

."

Just the production of a takeout platform software, as well as the subsequent long-term continuous updating and improvement, requires a lot of thought.

Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu also majored in computer science. Although it is not difficult to simply imitate the take-out style of an APP, making a software suitable for the take-out industry from scratch is not a simple matter.

.

The layout and layout of each page in the software, the setting of each link button, from the first-level page to the third-level page, and what content each page should contain must be clearly prioritized and continuously adjusted according to the needs of users.

Although they haven't studied computers for long, they can still see the skills contained in them.

Just for such a piece of software, Xu Xing probably spent a lot of money.

Not to mention the actual expenses during the promotion process, the amount of money invested every month has already exceeded the original registered capital of one million.

"By the way, what is Brother Xu's family doing? How can we give him so much money to start a business?" Just after lunch, a few people were resting here, and Lu Pengyou couldn't help but curious, "It can't be a hidden secret."

The second generation of super rich people, right?”

"Otherwise?" Jian Jiashu looked at him speechlessly, "How can an average family afford so much money and still use it as a business fund for their children? They have to keep it to buy a house."

"Damn! I really didn't expect this." Lu Pengyou slapped his thigh and complained, "When I first started school, I saw that he didn't spend much money on ordering food in the cafeteria. I thought the family was in a tight situation, but it turned out that this kid was hiding like this

deep."

"Maybe it's just that I'm a good tutor and usually save money." Jian Jiashu reluctantly tried to make up for Xu Xing's mistakes.

Only Zhang Nong sat silently, feeling a little ashamed as he listened to the conversation between the two.

However, he didn't intend to say anything more about Xu Xing behind his back. After taking a short rest, he stood up immediately: "It's afternoon, let's keep working hard."

…

"This is the list of this batch. Basically everything has been agreed upon."

In the office of Qunxing Company on the 10th floor of Ocean International Building, uncle Xu Yi handed a list of names to Xu Xing.

Now Xu Yi has officially resigned from Qunxing, but he has not joined Qunxing to take charge of part of the business as the two originally agreed. Instead, he has separated from Qunxing and established a separate company.

Sirius Headhunting Management Company is mainly responsible for collecting and contacting information on high-end talents in various fields at home and abroad and summarizing it. According to the development needs of Qunxing Company, it continuously provides recommendations for various required talents.

If they are just ordinary employees, then Qunxing Company can recruit them independently.

However, as the company develops and expands, there is a shortage of high-end talents with both comprehensive and professional abilities in some important positions.

For this talent gap, it is actually unrealistic to rely solely on independent recruitment.

Xu Xing was obviously aware of this problem, and after careful consideration, Xu Yi himself felt that it was not appropriate to directly join Xu Xing's company in his capacity, so he simply decided to help him continue to make connections.

Apart from anything else, although Xu Yi's personal abilities may not be better than those of young top students like Liao Qinyu, he has accumulated a rich network of contacts after having taken root in major companies over the years.

After several months of operation, the headhunting company has begun to take shape and has begun to recruit talents in the industry to provide talents for Qunxing Company.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Xing accepted the list and was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, he looked up at his uncle and said with a smile: "Uncle, please sit down first."

Xu Yi pulled up a chair and sat down. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief: "Who could have imagined that such a day would come? It's like a dream."

"Then let this dream last as long as possible." Xu Xing said, and then asked, "The Chinese New Year will be here soon. Does Auntie know about your affairs?"

"I haven't told her yet. Her big mouth will spread even after playing mahjong." Xu Yi shook his head, then looked at Xu Xing, "But, you can't keep this secret for long, right? When do you plan to talk to you?

Did your parents say something?"

"Let's talk about it during the Chinese New Year." Xu Xing shrugged and said, "Now that we are on the right track, my parents' side should also be developing well. It's time to talk about it."

"Then I have to prepare some medicine for them to prevent them from fainting." Xu Yi said jokingly, and then changed the topic to work, "Is there anything else you want to give before the Chinese New Year?"

"Just celebrate the New Year well." Xu Xing shook his head, then thought for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, please help me check if there are any local taxi companies in Shanghai. Contact them and see."

"good."

"You don't even ask why?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows.

"I'm used to it now." Xu Yi laughed and looked at Xu Xing. His eyes were no longer the way he looked at children before, "Just follow your own ideas."

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded and added, "In addition, there are people and companies related to map surveying. Please help me pay attention to them."

After hearing what he said, Xu Yi nodded thoughtfully.

Taxi companies… mapping…

Is this going to enter the taxi-hailing field?

But hasn’t Qunxing Investment already invested in Didi in Kyoto before?

"The competition will be fierce, and I plan to be prepared."

Xu Xing clasped his hands together and saw Xu Yi's confusion, so he spoke slowly.

…

For Alibaba and Tencent, WeChat is an important piece of the puzzle in their mobile Internet layout.

If Qunxing Company is really willing to cooperate, both parties will definitely accept it gladly, even if they offer a high premium.

As more than half a month has passed, the competition between the two sides for WeChat has become increasingly fierce.

The valuation of WeChat once rose to US$1.8 billion.

But on WeChat, Liao Qinyu has always been like a scumbag trying to seduce the appetites of both parties, always giving people an ambiguous but neither close nor far distance.

At the end of January, WeChat held its annual press conference, announcing that the next update of WeChat would move from the WeChat 1.0 era to the 2.0 era.

Alibaba and Tencent thought this was WeChat's plan to further raise prices and wait for prices to be sold, so they both sent people over.

News media across the country are also watching the news.

The news that Tencent and Alibaba are competing with WeChat has been buzzing on the Internet for more than a month. Now WeChat has finally held a press conference. With such an opportunity to directly meet the person in charge of WeChat, everyone is naturally interested.

Refuse to let go.

This time, WeChat’s version 2.0 launch conference was no longer held in the company’s internal conference hall as before, but was moved to the lobby of a nearby five-star hotel.

It is large enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people.

There were quite a few people who came to watch the WeChat press conference. In addition to people from news media and Internet companies from various places, there were also many interested passers-by who also came to visit.

There were even Min University students who came to take a look out of curiosity.

There are no specific restrictions on the press conference, except that about 400 front seats are for friends from the news media, and the rest of the seats are free for other guests.

"Are you nervous?"

In the preparation room backstage, Xu Xing sat on a chair and smiled at Liao Qinyu, who had changed into a crisp suit.

"I'm still a little nervous." Liao Qinyu forced a smile, stroking his collar and tie from time to time, and kept silently reciting the opening words he was going to say for a while.

After adjusting like this for a while, seeing that there were still more than ten minutes left before the show started, Liao Qinyu also relaxed a little, smiled at Xu Xing and said: "Mr. Xu, where will you sit later? Do you want me to make a grand introduction?"

"No." Xu Xing shook his head repeatedly, "I will find a seat in the back and sit down in a while. You can just take good care of the process of the press conference."

"Actually, it's most appropriate for you to come on stage and talk about it." Liao Qinyu couldn't help but say, "The new features of version 2.0 are all provided by Mr. Xu yourself, and the deeper you understand them."

"What? Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Don't think about dragging me into the water so early. You can stand in front of me first. I'm still a college student."

Liao Qinyu: "..."

It's really outrageous.

It feels amazing to think that I am still working for a college student.

The key is that you are willing to do it, and even now you are eager to do it.

"My mother is here too today, Mr. Xu."

Liao Qinyu took several deep breaths, and then said this sentence without any beginning or end.

"Auntie is here too?" Xu Xing was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard Liao Qinyu mention his family, "Then you have to behave well."

"I'm not worried about that." Liao Qinyu chuckled, "I'm just worried that after the press conference is over, she will come to urge me to get married again."

"When you surpass Tencent's QQ, you will never be short of a wife in the future."

"Oh, I'd like to lend you some kind words."

…

After walking out of the backstage lounge, Xu Xing walked all the way to the seats in the back. As he walked, he took out his cell phone and called Yan Chijuan.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in row 21, on the east side."

"Coming."

Xu Xing walked in that direction and saw Yan Chijuan standing on tiptoes from a distance, waving hard in his direction.

He raised his hand to signal, and when he approached the seat, he was stunned.

Because there are acquaintances on both sides of the seats.

Secretary Zhao, who was holding a down jacket that he had just taken off, was sitting here quietly like an ordinary passerby. When he saw Xu Xing, he nodded to him with a smile.

Xu Xing also nodded slightly towards Secretary Zhao, but because of the two old acquaintances on the other side, Xu Xing said: "Uncle Zhao, you are here too."

Secretary Zhao's expression was slightly stunned, but after quickly calming down, he still smiled: "Yeah, come over and join in the fun."

On the other side, Wang Jiaxin, who was pulling Xue Weiqiang over, waved to Xu Xing naturally, with a bright smile on her face: "Long time no see, Xu Xing."

"Um."

Xu Xing nodded briefly to say hello to these two people, and then sat next to Yan Chijuan, sitting next to Secretary Zhao.

"Jiujiu, have you also downloaded WeChat? How about we add a friend?" Wang Jiaxin pulled Yan Chijuan and got close to each other like good sisters.

Yan Chijiu was still slightly impressed by Wang Jiaxin, but after hesitating for a moment, he still added her as a WeChat friend.

"This WeChat is getting more and more powerful now, you know jealousy, right? There has been a lot of quarrel online recently." Wang Jiaxin took the initiative to find the topic, and did not forget to mention Xu Xing, "But Xu Xing is also very powerful, eat it

The food delivery is getting better and better, and I might be able to compete with these Internet giants in the future."

"Well, it's okay, okay." Yan Chijue managed it reluctantly.

On the other side, Secretary Zhao heard the conversation between the two girls and chuckled lightly: "Shouldn't young people be more open-minded? I thought only people of my age like to sit in such an awkward position.

An eye-catching place.”

"Uncle Zhao, the more eye-catching you are, the more dangerous you will be. This principle is not only applicable to you."

"But isn't there a saying on the Internet? Traffic is business. Even the traffic on the boss's body is a resource that can be utilized, right?"

"Good steel should be used on the blade." Xu Xing smiled, "Isn't it?"

"Then where is your blade? I thought it was the blade today."

"Today, it's barely the back of a knife, but it's still short of heat."

[Bujie Diary]: Secretary Zhao is an abstract aggregate character. He does not have any prototypes and cannot describe the characters’ backgrounds in detail. Everyone just needs to understand.
