Ordinary Road 2010

The senior sister didn't make it too clear, but Lin Yi has already figured it out. Many people in the school probably think that this is an entrepreneurial project led by her. Only Professor Li Feifei knows their shareholding ratio. Lin Yi is undoubtedly the first founder. people.

"Students from the school newspaper said that they noticed it when Random Food Delivery was promoted in the school, but they didn't have a suitable opportunity before."

"This time they saw the public welfare activities we initiated on the BBS and finally made up their minds to dig out our stories. I thought that we used the school's resources and couldn't refuse directly."

It is not necessarily newsworthy for students to start a business, only to make some achievements.

Lin Yixin knew that the school newspaper didn't come to interview them before because they didn't know their details. This time, the school probably saw not only the public welfare activities of casual food delivery.com, but also the recently reported financing of 100 million US dollars.

If this matter broke out earlier, it could actually be publicized. It's just that Liu Jianni, who gave the money at the time, didn't want to say anything, and Lin Yi, who took the money, focused on business development and got rid of the pressure of Hungry, so she seemed a little quiet.

Although the school has to give it face, but with the current situation of the food delivery network, Lin Yi, the mere school newspaper, does not plan to make a special trip back to Beijing.

The senior sister is not a showy person, so he suggested: "Then let Jianguo go, it happens that he is in the capital."

"Me? But I haven't been interviewed." Li Jianguo subconsciously declined.

"It's just the school newspaper. Don't be too nervous. I guess they will mainly ask two points. One is about entrepreneurship, and the other is about this event. You are familiar with these."

"Before the interview, ask for a list of questions to come over and prepare. If there are any questions, the other party will teach you. You can take the manuscript they have written for a look before publishing."

Li Jianguo is not worried about this. After starting his business for more than half a year, he is still confident that he can handle this small scene.

"I mean, if I go, will it appear that I don't take it seriously? Among the three of us, Lin Yi is the leader. This time they are looking for my sister again, but neither of you shows up."

Lin Yi felt that there was no need to clarify these matters within the team, and besides, he didn't have that much time to spare.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are one of the three partners to accept the interview on behalf of our entire team, I believe they should not be too inquisitive."

Hearing what he said, Li Jianguo was also relieved, and was eager to try.

Then Lin Yi didn't care about this matter anymore, until he saw the manuscript of the school newspaper, he found out that Li Jianguo had stabbed the name of "Jingdian Trident" they used to jokingly call.

"What do you mean, the school newspaper is just written in such a big way?"

Li Jianguo was a little proud: "I specifically asked for this to be added. How can I feel majestic in school in the future?"

Lin Yi laughed, this is also an official certification, right?

Just when they thought the matter had come to an end, the senior sister notified another media to come over for an interview.

"This time it was Teacher Lan from the Youth League Committee who found me. She said that I was transferred from the Youth League Committee by the superior, and there was a very formal invitation letter for an interview."

After she sent the photo of the invitation letter she received to the group, Li Jianguo asked strangely:

"Youth Daily, what kind of newspaper is this?"

Chapter 306 Light up the lights of thousands of families

People with a little more experience can actually know just by the name, can the words "Youth Daily" be used by ordinary units?

This is an official newspaper.

From the general public's point of view, ordinary people rarely come into contact with this kind of media, and the influence and spread of this publication seem to be insignificant.

But in some specific groups, its significance is very important, because to some extent it can represent the official attitude.

This is not an opportunity that can be bought with just a little money. After Liu Jianni heard about it, she was afraid that he was inexperienced, so she specially told him to take it seriously.

In short, Lin Yi did not have the swaggering attitude towards the school newspaper before, but showed 12 points of sincerity and caution.

He originally planned to call his senior sister back together, and the three of them participated in this interview together to show that they valued this opportunity, but he didn't give up this idea until he communicated with the other party according to the contact information on the invitation letter.

Lin Yi returned to Sijiu City one day at the end of April. At this time, more than half a month had passed since he returned to Beijing from Yangcheng last time.

After he landed, he didn't look for anyone, and took a taxi directly to the agreed interview location.

Lin Yi arrived quite early, so he waited there for a while, and then met another subject who was going to be interviewed with him today.

It's Zhang Xuhao.

When Lin Yi learned of this, he still laughed at himself and thought too much. Sure enough, the cards under the net of casual takeaway and himself were not qualified to be published in "Youth Daily" alone.

Like him, Zhang Xuhao attaches great importance to today's interview, and he dresses neatly and meticulously, which is quite different from the last time we met.

Lin Yi said hello: "When I received the interview letter, I was still thinking about whether to bring the other two partners with me. Later, they told me that I was with Mr. Zhang today."

Zhang Xuhao didn't seem to want to whisper here, but simply responded: "It shows that our decision to join forces this time is very correct."

Indeed, the effect of this event has repeatedly exceeded Lin Yi's expectations, especially today's interview can only be said to be a windfall.

After exchanging greetings, it may be that they knew that the two of them had arrived, and soon a female reporter came forward to entertain them. She looked around [-], her appearance was not outstanding, but she had a rare intellectual temperament. After shaking hands with the two of them, she Self introduction:

"My name is Wang Ke, and I will interview the two of you today."

Because they don't need to be on camera, they didn't wear makeup. After Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao made introductions respectively, it was officially started.

Female reporter Wang Ke said, "I'll call you Mark and Lin Yi. One of you is from 85 and the other is from 94. You are both young."

Mark is that guy's English name.

Zhang Xuhao smiled and said, "I thought I was very young at first, but when I saw him, I immediately felt a sense of crisis."

Wang Ke said: "Then let's talk about it in the order of age. Mark, you are only 27 years old this year but you have already started your business for several years. How did you have the idea of ​​starting a business at that time?"

This is not the first time Zhang Xuhao has been interviewed, and the story has already been told by heart.

"Yes, that was in 2008. At that time, I was a graduate student at Minhang Jiaotong University. A few classmates and I, who were my later entrepreneurial partners, felt that the postgraduate life was not what we really wanted."

"The major of us is actually building energy conservation. When we wanted to start a business, of course we first considered this direction. But at that time, this industry was just starting in China, and it was largely driven by resources rather than technology. We A few young people may not be able to play well."

"It was an accidental opportunity later on. The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, we thought that food is essential for everyone, so can we do something about it..."

Zhang Xuhao shared this story he had told countless times, and the female reporter made simple notes while listening.

In fact, Wang Ke had done her homework before the interview, and many of these materials had already been prepared, so after listening to the interview, the topic naturally turned to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, you are only this year, wow, what a memorable age. If I remember correctly, you are only a freshman. How did you come up with the idea of ​​starting a business so early?"

Lin Yi knew that Wang Ke's question was not unconstrained but purposeful, but his reaction was a little exaggerated, probably because he wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

The question in this link should be "initial heart".

"We are similar to Are You Hungry in many ways. For example, we are also a partnership of three people. For example, we are not the kind of students who keep their own way."

"Actually, I had the idea of ​​starting a business very early, and I started preparing before I went to college, so it was not a temporary decision."

Wang Ke laid the groundwork: "At that time, everyone should still be working hard for the college entrance examination. Are you already thinking about starting a business?"

"Just an idea."

Lin Yi boasted a few words for Linzhong: "Maybe I am lucky because my high school is not a very strict school. The principal has always told us that the college entrance examination is not the purpose of education, so there is room for some free imagination."

"When I was in my third year of high school, Joe, the leader of Apple, passed away. During that time, everyone was discussing this person very enthusiastically, and a classmate gave me a biography of Joe's leader."

Wang Ke asked Lin Yi more questions not because he was more interested, but because Lin Yi had no public interviews before, so there was less information.

"Then did you come up with the idea of ​​starting a business after reading the biography of Gang Leader Qiao?"

Lin Yi knew that there would be such a misunderstanding: "Not exactly, because the biography is in the original English version, and it is very thick, which is too difficult for me to read."

After this sentence made the other two people laugh, he continued: "Of course, Master Qiao is a very remarkable person, and to some extent he has changed the world."

Wang Ke continued to ask questions patiently: "So you plan to change the world in the underground garage in Silicon Valley like him?"

"It's not just Silicon Valley that can change the world."

He turned to Zhang Xuhao beside him: "Actually, what we are doing now has no successful precedent across the ocean."

Zhang Xuhao nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi went on to say: "Although Gang Leader Qiao himself and Apple are great, I have no intention of imitating them. Although Apple phones are good in everything, there is still one important flaw."

He paused, and said in the female reporter's justly puzzled eyes:

"That's expensive."

Both Wang Ke and Zhang Xuhao laughed, and the former put away his Apple phone that was originally on the table. They knew that Lin Yi hadn't finished speaking.

"I never expect to become a company like Apple, because in my heart, technology is not an expensive toy for a few people, but should go to every ordinary person and light up the lights of thousands of families."

Chapter 307

Wang Ke's sensitivity as a reporter in this kind of unit is very high, and the material is already enough, she doesn't plan to go further on this point.

She quickly summed up Zhang Xuhao and Lin Yi's answers just now, wrote down the two key words "self-realization" and "social value" in her notebook, and then made a joke:

"I think you and Lei Jun from Rice Phone should always have something in common."

Lin took out his mobile phone and turned it on: "I am indeed using a rice mobile phone, and I look forward to working with Mr. Lei Jun if I have the opportunity."

With this topic out of the way, the female reporter began to cut to the chase.

"The main reason for inviting you to come today is to notice the public welfare activity jointly launched by you "Helping Together, Come on Rain City!", I'm curious, did you two know each other before this activity?"

"It can be counted as knowing or not knowing."

This question was answered by Lin Yi: "After all, we are colleagues and have had some exchanges before. Zhang Xuhao and I actually met once in the capital, but we didn't even leave our mobile phone number."

Here, of course, he will not mention the details of the two people's first meeting in the hospital, after all, they both signed a confidentiality agreement at that time.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the female reporter would be entangled in this point, Zhang Xuhao took the initiative to take up this topic:

"Yes, so he found me this time and called the front desk of our company directly. Later, when the front desk reported to me, he was very nervous. He always wondered if this person really knew the boss?"

Zhang Xuhao told the process of the contact between the two parties as an interesting story. Wang Ke didn't know if he had noticed his little thoughts, but he still asked:

"According to my understanding of business, the exchange that Lin Yi just mentioned may not be that simple. I believe you will have some confrontations, right?"

Now that she clicked on Lin Yi, it would be difficult for Zhang Xuhao to intervene, but Lin Yi already understood that the reporter's question was not to dig out the relationship between the two of them, but to pave the way for what to say later.

So he said generously: "Yes, since we are peers, there will definitely be some business discussions, but our idea is the same, which is to provide users with better and better services."

Satisfied with this answer, Wang Ke asked the next question: "Whose idea is this public welfare activity for Yucheng?"

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhang Xuhao to answer. Although he certainly wouldn't criticize Hungry for plagiarism here, some words should be left to the other party.

As a long-time entrepreneur, Zhang Xuhao didn't show any embarrassment: "It should be said that it's everyone's tacit understanding."

"After the earthquake, our team immediately discussed how to contribute a little bit of our own strength. Because we are only a startup company that has just started, we must not be able to donate as generously as those big companies."

"Later, after much deliberation, we decided to donate the company's operating profits for a period of time, which is our heart."

"Of course, we have also noticed that many young people really want to lend a helping hand, but they may feel that their abilities are limited and they don't know what to do. Therefore, the more important significance of this activity is to mobilize more people and give This is an opportunity for everyone to show their love.”

"Because the plan we envisioned was a bit more complicated, it was launched a day late. At that time, we found that such a public welfare activity was also launched there. At that time, I thought that this time it was really a hero who saw the same thing."

Lin Yixin thought that this guy would have to show his face, at least he didn't deny that he went online casually first.

"Then what is the opportunity for you to join forces to hold such a public welfare event? According to what was said just now, the two of you should be competitors, right?"

Zhang Xuhao handed over the right of interpretation to Lin Yi.

"I feel that when Zhang Xuhao and I met for the first time, we felt a little sympathetic to each other. Of course we are competitors, but in fact there are still many views on the industry, visions, etc. that are the same. It should be regarded as a kind of friendship between enemies and friends. Relationship."

"This time when I saw that Are You Hungry also adopted such a public welfare activity, I immediately thought, since everyone has such a heart to do good, why not simply do it together?"

"You were right just now. We are usually competitors, but at this moment our compatriots are caught in a disaster. I think everyone's worries and desires to help are exactly the same."

"When I called Zhang Xuhao, I never doubted whether he would be unwilling to cooperate, because I knew he would definitely agree, and it really confirmed my judgment in the end."

Don't take the words in the newspaper too seriously.

This kind of occasion was when everyone was carrying the bridal sedan chair, Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao sang together and flattered both sides, completely unable to see that they almost dropped their phones during the discussion.

"Student Lin Yi just mentioned sympathy for each other. I think that you, one from the south and the other from the north, are optimistic about the same industry after four years. Activity."

"I saw that many people on the Internet commented that you have a great structure. I am very grateful to you for letting everyone see the spirit of unity of the Chinese people at such a moment, and also see the youth's responsibility and responsibility in this earthquake relief activity."

This is obviously the topic of today's interview. The female reporter gave them a little sublimation, and decided to close it after feeling that the material was almost dug out:

"I think your sense of social responsibility is inseparable from the school's education for you, right? Can you talk about it?"

Before coming here, Lin Yi was actually a bit confused. This interview was definitely not due to the energy of himself and Zhang Xuhao, nor the efforts of the investors behind it. Hearing this, he had a glimmer of understanding.

From the standpoint of "Youth Daily", the important reason for the selection of these two people is that they are both from famous domestic schools, successful in starting a business at a young age, and enthusiastic about giving back to the society. What is this called?

The roots are red.

Zhang Xuhao also understood it in seconds, and immediately helped his alma mater, Shanghai Jiaotong University, blow it up, especially the baptism of the eight-character school motto of "Drinking water and thinking about the source, loving the country and honoring the school" to his soul.

standard answer.

When it was Lin Yi's turn, of course he could only copy it, but he was a little more honest and mentioned the help the school gave during the process of starting a business.
