My Return to Life

The weather in Beijing and Shanghai is almost the same.

The afternoon sun is still shining brightly in the howling north wind.

The Mercedes-Benz was driving smoothly on the Beijing Airport Expressway.

After being dazed for a moment, Fang Nian suddenly looked around, back and forth.

In the end, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun seriously: "Then what...Mr. Lei, why don't you turn around so that I can take the next plane back to Shencheng?"

Lei Jun: "?!"

Seeing that Fang Nian didn't look like he was joking, to be honest, Lei Jun was also stunned.

What's going on.

Why is it that this car is not suitable for talking about business?

Seeing Lei Jun's dazed expression, Fang Nian said helplessly, "Boss Lei, I came to Beijing specially to discuss Dangkang Games' becoming a strategic shareholder."

"That's the case." Lei Jun subconsciously agreed.

Fang Nian continued to analyze calmly: "Now this matter has been completed, and it is none of my business."

Lei Jun is nodding in agreement: "This..."

Then he realized that Fang Nian almost took him into a ditch.

Of course things are not that simple.

Although business contracts and shareholding agreements do not need to be dealt with every year.

But regarding the strategic development plan of Qingchao, Fang Nian must participate in the discussion.

Lei Jun is ashamed to judge the future development trend of mobile social networking.

This point is vividly reflected in the fact that Qingchat has taken advantage of the development but is not as good as expected.

"Mr. Fang knows how to joke." Lei Jun laughed, "It's hard to come to the capital, and the friendship of the landlord has not been fulfilled, how can you be so negligent."

Fang Nian laughed, and waved his big hand: "Go, go, go, if you come, you will be safe."

"..."

Only in this way can the atmosphere in the car be restored to its happy and harmonious state.

Lei Jun was so witty that he didn't talk about business anymore.

Talk about some recent anecdotes.

Lei Jun's news channels are still very broad.

At least in many ways, it is much stronger than Fang Nian.

The connections, information, and resources of the two are actually not on the same level.

After all, Fang Nian lost at least twenty years of food.

Also mentioned the recent rather fiery group buying network war.

Among them, Wang Xing's Meituan was also highlighted.

During the period from the end of last year to the present, thousands of group buying websites have popped up and disappeared across the country.

Advertisements for group buying can be seen everywhere in major cities.

In this enthusiastic atmosphere, Wang Xing's Meituan Baote has been very calm, and recently took the lead in launching "overdue refunds".

"I also talked to Niel about the group buying website in Shanghai last week, and Meituan handled it very well."

Then Lei Jun praised: "At that time, we also talked about investment. In September last year, Meituan's A round of financing, Sequoia entered, and Niel discovered that Frontier Angel had already entered. Mr. Fang's vision is really unique."

Fang Nian smiled and sighed: "It's a mistake. I only started investing last year. I was at a loss at first, so I just invested in companies that were re-started by a boss like Mr. Lei."

"I really didn't think about the scene of sitting in the same car with Mr. Lei, and I forgot to thank Mr. Lei for the opportunity when I talked about it.

"

After listening to Fang Nian's exclamation, Lei Jun couldn't help staring at Fang Nian and didn't speak.

Fang Nian was not embarrassed at all and acted as if nothing had happened.

Anyway, that's the truth.

If Guan Qiuhe hadn't gotten to know Lei Jun in the first place, and had the opportunity to meet, Frontier Angel would have never made a bill.

Including the later Wang Xing, they all voted in this way...

…………

Qingchao does not have an office near the Yingu Building where Xiaomi is currently located.

After some consideration, Lei Jun and the others put Qingchao in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park in Shangdi.

There are countless well-known Internet companies' headquarters or Chinese headquarters in this area.

Such as Xiongchang, Lenovo.

For example... Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, which even Lei Jun has never thought about now, will eventually settle in this area.

From this point of view, in fact, Lei Jun, Lin Bing and others subconsciously put the status of light chatting at a higher level.

Guided by Lei Jun and Lin Bing, Fang Nian, Guan Qiuhe and others walked into Qingchao Company in Shangdi Science and Technology Building.

Light chat is very small right now.

All departments are busy recruiting.

The general manager came from Xiaomi, but the authority is not very high.

Although Lei Jun and Lin Bing have no office space in Qingchao, they are responsible for almost all important matters.

When Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe walked in, they happened to meet a few young people lining up next to the reception area for an interview.

Fang Nian suddenly felt a little emotional.

It was about this time in my previous life. Fang Nian, who had completed his part-time work and part-study studies in a training institution, was running around all over the streets in Pengcheng looking for a job.

Just like these young people in front of me.

Wearing cheap suits that don't fit very well.

His complexion was tense and uncomfortable, his eyes showed anticipation and some kind of longing, and there must be a little bit of 'contempt' that was hidden deeply.

Because this kind of small company with less than 100 employees can never be their dream.

Even so, he had to pretend to be sitting upright.

Humble, well-behaved, polite, and self-proclaimed 'kindness'.

With a glance, Fang Nian saw through most of these young people's thoughts.

Just like myself back then, I thought I was well disguised, but in fact, there was nothing to hide under the noses of many people.

Followed a group of people to visit and chat briefly.

The company's office is less than 300 square meters, and more than 70 desks are crowded.

It was a working day, but the office staff was less than thirty.

After entering the meeting room, Fang Nian suddenly said: "In fact, social recruitment can properly lower the entry threshold and give some opportunities to young people who have not gone to college. Maybe there will be some unexpected sparks."

Lei Jun and Lin Bing looked at Fang Nian because they didn't understand.

Seeing this, Fang Nian said casually, "Ah... I mean, I suddenly want to be a boss."

Lei Jun: "..."

Lin Bing: "..."

Guan Qiuhe rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "Has Mr. Fang suddenly taken a fancy to those waiting for the interview just now?"

"You can say that." Fang Nian said indifferently, "The young people just now should all be around twenty years old, about my age."

Hearing this, Lei Jun laughed: "Ha! Mr. Fang still has this little elegance."

"I don't know any young man who is so lucky to let Mr. Fang speak up once."

"The boy on the outermost side is the most cramped." Fang Nian didn't hold back when he got to this point, and said directly, "Why don't I come for an interview, anyway..."

"I finished talking about the main work in the capital in the car, so I'm not in a hurry."

Hearing this, Lei Jun was full of helplessness: "Next time we will definitely not discuss business in the car!"

Lin Bing at the side made a gesture: "Little Huang, go and call in the guy Mr. Fang said."

The current manager surnamed Huang who chatted lightly left the conference room according to his words, and brought the young man with him after a while, and the young man's resume was also handed over to Fang Nian.

The young man who was brought into the conference room was so nervous that he blushed when he saw a group of people.

Fang Nian glanced at the resume, with a smile on his face.

Looking at the young man sitting upright: "You are a software engineer who graduated from Jade Bird, can you introduce yourself?"

"I'm Jade Bird... My name is Liu Daihua, I'm 19 years old this year." Liu Daihua said something wrong and was really nervous.

"Proficient in Java and C#, hmm..."

When Liu Daihua paused, Fang Nian interrupted with a smile: "Don't be so nervous."

"Whether the projects you have done on your resume are real or fabricated, as far as I know, it is difficult for most graduates of Jade Bird to do internships before formal work."

Facing Fang Nian's gaze, Liu Daihua dodged his eyes a little, and finally bit the bullet and said: "I made it up, but I really know how to write programs!"

"It's honest." Fang Nian said calmly, "Have you ever thought that the employment guidance teacher in your school is just an ordinary employee of the training institution;

Most of the knowledge points I told you are actually checked from the Internet, including teaching you to write this kind of cookie-cutter resume. "

The young man was taken aback by Fang Nian's words: "I..."

Fang Nian added another comment: "The skills described in the resume are mixed and not outstanding, and they are actually not very competitive."

Liu Daihua responded oh oh.

For a while, I didn't know how to deal with it.

Flushed face, and slightly trembling hands.

Obviously the size has been messed up.

That's all for Fang Nian's rare words. He put down his resume and said calmly: "In the future, I will work hard and strive to become an excellent programmer."

Liu Daihua was stunned.

He wanted to say something more, but Fang Nian had signaled for Manager Huang to take him out.

Watching this somewhat inexplicable episode.

Everyone is a little baffled.

Especially Gu Yu, as far as she knew, Fang Nian was very lazy.

Lei Jun didn't quite understand either, and murmured in his heart, "I don't know if this young man will listen or not."

He asked: "Mr. Fang has also learned about these IT training institutions that are blooming all over the place?"

"In the future, Frontier's resource coverage in the education industry may be wider." Fang Nian explained casually, "After all, more than 70% or more of school-age youths have not gone to college, especially undergraduate colleges."

Lei Jun said oh, and didn't say any more.

He has no research on the education industry, has never invested in it, and does not plan to intervene.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the cake in this industry cannot be made too big.

After all, it is difficult to completely rely on the Internet, and we still have to go offline.

This conflicts with some of Lei Jun's ideas.

after all……

Xiaomi even needs to use the Internet to make mobile phones, and so far has no idea of ​​laying out physical sales.

In fact, Fang Nian did not intend to invest in the establishment of training institutions or anything.

It's not that he wants to interfere with anything, he just said something, and whether he can remember this person in two days will say something else.

The point is, when Fang Nian walked into Qingchat and saw a few nervous young people, he suddenly purely missed the youth of the same period in his previous life, and...

I want to be a big boss who turns his hands over like clouds and rain.

In fact, the difference between an ordinary person going to college and not going to university will be very significant and completely different in the talent market.

For example, Liu Daihua, who was almost as confused about the future as he was back then, would have definitely failed the interview if Fang Nian hadn't intervened.

…………

…………

After the episode, the meeting room was quiet for a while.

There were seven people in total.

Gu Yu and Zhao Qian also rushed over.

Lei Jun was the first to speak: "Just now on the road, I had a brief chat with Mr. Fang."

Looking at Guan Qiuhe while talking: "Mr. Guan, Qingchao decided to adopt Mr. Fang's suggestion and invite Dangkang to become Qingchat's strategic shareholder."

"Dangkang is very happy to cooperate with Qingchao." Guan Qiuhe smiled.

she……

I really don't know about it.

Fang Nian didn't have time to exchange views with Guan Qiuhe.

But Fang Nian's tone of voice just now revealed this point.

"..."

At this time, Fang Nian interjected before Lei Jun could speak: "I think we can talk about things related to the shareholding later."

"Mr. Lei, why don't we talk about Qingchao itself first."

Hearing this, Lei Jun didn't hesitate and said with a smile, "Of course."

"..."

Lin Bing made a data report: "...Since the independence of Qingchat, the growth trend of the number of users has been steady and deep. At present, the total number of users has exceeded 32 million."

"..."

"Qchat is planning to better deepen the coverage of the relationship chain, so that users are willing to actively spread Qingchat."

"..."

After Lin Bing finished his report, Lei Jun took over the topic: "According to market research and analysis, the growth rate of WeChat users has slowed down, and the experience of the voice call function is not as good as that of chatting."

"On the whole, light chat still has a big advantage for Baote."

"..."

In fact, after Qingchat was separated from Xiaomi, the development of Qingchat was basically normal.

Although there are only about 30 people working in the office now, the efficiency is actually higher.

Sometimes the internal organizational structure can have a huge impact on a product.

On this point, Goose Factory Ma Poli actually has some say now, because mobile QQ and computer QQ are two BGs (business groups).

Fang Nian didn't hesitate, and said calmly: "I have some suggestions that are not mature enough to drive users to spread light chat and use light chat more willingly."

"Qingchat can follow the example of Qzone and launch lightweight community functions, such as Moments, which mainly focus on sharing life, and do not integrate into the complicated functions of Qzone, only support the editing, sending and browsing of special text and picture information... ..."

"Secondly, a function similar to a drifting bottle can be introduced..."

"Enhance the shake function..."

"Starting to develop a video chat function..."

"The launch of the work and life group chat function...

"Everything is based on user experience, and all complicated functional modules are not required..."

"I think the current core task of Qingchat is to make mobile social networking easier, make users more willing to communicate online through mobile devices, and focus on communication itself..."

"Roughly, that's all..."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, both Lei Jun and Lin Bing were silent for a moment.

A few simple sentences make the positioning of Qingchat clear and clear, and further expand the social attributes of Qingchat.

Lei Jun couldn't help but praised: "Mr. Fang suddenly opened up the development vision of Qingchat."

"Yes." Lin Bing was not without emotion.

"..."

Fang Nian was indifferent.

The most important thing he said is positioning.

As long as the product positioning is clear enough, the product managers of Qingchat will gradually think of improving these.

But sooner or later is hard to say.

Now there is a competitor WeChat.

If Fang Nian put it forward earlier, he would be able to take the lead earlier.

The planning, implementation, and development of specific functional features have not been talked about much.

If the chatting team does not have this level, disband as soon as possible.

But that wasn't the point of the meeting.

The focus is on strategy.

When this topic was brought up, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun and Lin Bing, and said calmly, "Boss Lei, Boss Lin, before this, I have a question."

"For a light chat, what do you two think?"

After Fang Nian finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence again.

No one is stupid, Fang Nian's question obviously has something to say.

To put it more simply:

Lei Jun and Lin Bing's dreams are so big, and in their opinion, light chat is suitable for telling a big story.

A little more popular is:

Please tell us about your dreams.

This kind of silence didn't last long, Lei Jun quickly made a gesture of invitation, and said warmly: "Boss Fang drinks tea."
