Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Everyone knows that the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is the first trunk railway designed and built by the Chinese themselves.

From Fengtai to Zhangjiakou, there are many stops during the period. From Fengtai, enter Xicheng first. There is a BJ North Station in Xicheng. Counting from the North Station, the fifth intersection is called "Wudaokou".

This is the origin of Wudaokou.

Naturally, Tsinghua University is one of the cores of Wudaokou. A campus and surrounding facilities form an ecological circle of its own, supporting countless people.

For example, not far to the south of the university, there is a community called "Huaqing Jiayuan".

The apartment size is large, the rent is relatively cheap, and it can be used for both commercial and residential purposes. Many students move here directly after graduation to start their own businesses. Kuxun, Youdao Search, Yijian Interactive, Meilishuo, Zhuoxiawang, etc. were all born here.

The most famous ones are Wang Xing, who founded Meituan, and Su Hua, the founder of Kuaishou.

To the west of Huaqing Jiayuan, there is another place called "Tsinghua Science and Technology Park". Students who start businesses in Huaqing Jiayuan often move into Tsinghua Science and Technology Park after they grow up.

At its peak, this place can be described as a private Silicon Valley, an investment paradise, where people come and go and talk about businesses worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. But then it declined, and the companies couldn't bear the higher and higher rents, so most of them moved out.

Only the Sohu Building stood there alone.

why?

Because this building was bought by Sohu!

…………

The last day of January, evening.

When it was off-duty time, the Sohu Building was calm and most people were working overtime.

Sohu, as the big brother of the domestic Internet, once let the old horse and the little horse look up to them. Now the momentum is not as good as before, but the strength is still there. Last year, I launched a podcast, the predecessor of "Sohu Video".

"Chila!"

The sound of spreading eggs came from the office. Zhang Chaoyang was wearing an American freedom shirt and an apron, and was frying eggs on the induction cooker in a serious manner.

Why do you fry eggs in the office? Because he is hungry, he will eat when he is hungry, and it is reasonable to have an induction cooker with him.

Zhang Chaoyang fried an egg, cut the ham, took out two slices of bread, took a bite of something nondescript, and was very satisfied.

No way, this is his style, very casual.

After eating the sandwich, I checked the time, put on a black overcoat, tied a scarf and went downstairs, strolling towards Tsinghua University.

There are many buildings in this science and technology park, and Sohu, Sogou, Google, Microsoft, and NetEase have all set up offices in it.

As soon as he came out, he saw Lin Bin and Hong Feng from Google, and said hello: "Coincidentally, where are you going?"

"Go to the auditorium."

"Same road, same road, walk together."

After walking for a while, I saw Huang Jiangji from the Microsoft Academy of Engineering. This person is from Hong Kong, and he is the chief engineer at a young age. He is also one of Yao Yuan's hunting targets.

"Where are you going?"

"I went to the auditorium to have a look, I was invited."

"Go together!"

The last Meizu press conference was held in the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University, but this time it was chosen in the Tsinghua University Auditorium—Yao Yuan did it on purpose, of course.

The auditorium is in the middle of the campus. It was built in 1921. Together with the library, science museum and gymnasium, it constitutes the four major buildings of Tsinghua University in the early days. The appearance is very distinctive, combining Greek and Roman architectural styles.

Big dome, red walls, four white marble Ioni columns in front of the door, and a plaque hanging on it, which reads "Holy Land of the Public Knows"...ah, bah, on it is written the four characters of "Humanities Rixin".

"boss Zhang!"

Lei Jun stood at the door and waved. He was quite surprised when he saw the lineup: "Are you all here by invitation?"

"yes!"

Whoa!

Lei Jun muttered in his heart, this battle is not small, what the hell is Yao Yuan doing?

A few people went in. The space inside was not big, with about a thousand seats, but it was the largest school auditorium in China at that time. I also met some acquaintances, from investors to reporters, the whole industry chain.

Yao Yuan didn't have many friends before, but in recent years he intends to expand his social circle and has met many people.

These guests sat for a quarter, and behind them were students watching the excitement. Everyone was obviously more interested in plagiarism and gossip than new product releases.

"I heard that Apple is going to sue Meizu?"

"It seems so. To be honest, I didn't know about Apple before. Recently, all the iPhones are overwhelming. I can't even see them."

"They are really awesome. Which mobile phone is better now? It's no wonder that Meizu will copy products."

"I don't think it matters. You copy me, and I copy you. It's just that it's easy to use. I use miniplayer well."

"Do you have a little bit of a sense of right and wrong? How shameful, Apple released it in the first step, and Meizu applied for a patent in the second step, and you don't want to lose your face."

"You Sanguan are you playing "QQ Tang"? Why don't you scold Tencent?"

The students were discussing, and the reporters were also very excited. Sun Bin, the editor of Mobile Phone Home, was not invited, but came in with a reporter friend, and was muttering to everyone.

"Will there be media time soon?"

"I don't know, it wasn't written in the draft."

"Whatever, ask when you get the chance, but I heard it will be explained today."

"Really? Let's see!"

…………

Meanwhile, backstage.

Bai Yongxiang was clutching the speech script, and was sweating for the last rehearsal. The time was tight, the tasks were heavy, and there were acting requirements, which tossed this honest man a lot.

"Stop, stop!"

"When you say this, there must be an obvious pause to show your restless heart, and you can even pause longer, the power of silence is stronger.

And here, you can turn your back to the audience, so that everyone can see your tough figure..."

"I'm worried that I won't be able to do it. I haven't done this kind of thing before."

Bai Yongxiang was very sad.

"Oh, the product is about telling a story. If the story is well told, it will sell well. You have to mobilize your emotions, emotions..."

"How to mobilize?"

"So, do you know Stanislavsky?"

puff!

Yinyin covered her mouth beside her, trying not to laugh.

Bai Yongxiang shook his head depressedly: "I don't know."

"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you. Stanislav created a performance system called method school, which pays attention to emotional substitution. For example, you have to show a feeling of grievance, unwillingness, and the feeling of being wronged by the world and I live up to the world on stage. How to handle it?

You just substitute it, you think about all the difficulties you have encountered since you started making mobile phones, how you were slapped by those arrogant suppliers, how you humbly begged, how you started from scratch, ran around, persevered, just to be ourselves The phone of my dreams..."

Ho!

Having said that, Bai Yongxiang felt it instantly, his eye circles were a little red immediately, and he nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"

"Okay, you should be quiet for a while and get ready to play."

Yao Yuan left this small room, and as soon as he got out, Yin Yin beat him, and couldn't help laughing, "You'll bully honest people, and you know how to act?"

"I understand a little bit. Besides, we are not bullying honest people. We work hard together to create the legend of Meizu. As long as everyone likes to watch it, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not!"

(Call it off...)
