Chapter 1394 Take the initiative
"Who is this person?"

As soon as they got in the car, Ren Siyu asked Yang Cheng curiously.

"Wang Yan."

"Wang Yan?" Ren Siyu pondered for a moment. "Why do I seem to have heard of this name? I think you mentioned it when you were drinking together... worth tens of millions... the guy who works in the Internet industry at Peking University and Tsinghua University, right?"

"It was him." Yang Cheng nodded. "I wanted to invest in him at the time, but he didn't want it. If I knew he could achieve what he has today, I would have invested several million in him no matter what.

But I don't think he would want it. He said at the time that I was the one who robbed him of his money, and he owed me a favor. He made some money by selling computers, and the school gave him an interest-free loan, which was probably more than 100,000 yuan in total. He tricked the students into working for him for free, and he managed to do it in three months. It's really amazing..."

Three months seem as vivid in my mind as yesterday, but looking forward to today, others have become up-and-coming stars in the Internet industry, while I am still that idle young man who is just waiting to die.

Originally, he was quite proud in front of Wang Yan, because of his family and wealth, but now all that sense of superiority is gone. He fought his way up alone, with his bare hands, and although his connections and wealth are not as good as his family's, Wang Yan still has a say in Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Haidian.

At the same time, because of the recent commotion caused by the evaluation system, although everyone was watching the excitement of the industrial and commercial, tax, health, market and other departments in Beijing, they also knew the name of Wang Yan.

A top student from Peking University or Tsinghua University, who majored in art, started a business that caused a stir in the entire capital, and even the senior leaders had heard about it.

This is the capital city, how could one not hear such a loud noise? Even if one could not hear it, others would help others hear it.

While domestic Internet companies were studying foreign countries hard, and the indicator for judging the potential of Internet companies was whether there were precedents abroad, Wang Yan was a real rising star and a bright spot.

He had a miserable life and his parents were both dead, but he was illuminated by the Party's light and did not go astray. He was even admitted to Peking University, one of the top universities. In a short period of time, he broadened his horizons and established his career.

Talented young people are starting businesses on the Internet, integrating into real life, and exploring new ways for the Internet to benefit people's lives. How can this not be an auspicious sign in another sense?

It not only reflects the superiority of the fundamental system, but also reflects the achievements of the education policy, and also reflects the role of high-quality talents in promoting high-tech... This is simply too auspicious...

"Hey, tell me about him. I'm very curious."

Yang Cheng glanced at her and snorted, "I advise you not to have any other ideas. We are not the same kind of people at all. Don't make yourself miserable."

"Who do you think I am?" Ren Siyu snorted and said, "Yes, that's right. In your eyes, I just like money. I will get close to whoever is rich and generous.

Didn't Wang Yan say it himself just now? He has no money and doesn't want to hang out with you young masters. Even if he is worth tens of millions, he can't spend money on me. He has such a big company, but he doesn't have time to pay attention to me. Why should I join him?"

"You have a clear understanding of yourself." Yang Cheng glanced at her and then said, "Wang Yan is an orphan..."

Yang Cheng told what he knew about Wang Yan. In fact, he had always been concerned about Wang Yan's entrepreneurial progress and often inquired about the situation from Wang Ying, so he also knew a lot.

He knew a lot about Wang Yan's growth experience, entrepreneurship and development, as well as Wang Yan's various speeches to deceive people. He told Ren Siyu about it all. It was not a secret.

Anyone who has paid attention knows that these are all things that have been done, but the information Yang Cheng obtained from Wang Ying was more specific, including some ideas and thoughts.

We have to thank Wang Yan for never being a person who hides things. He will tell anyone who asks him. It's not just Xiao Qianxi and others, but everyone in the company is like this. If you don't understand the intention, just ask, and he will patiently answer you.

This is also one of the reasons why the internal atmosphere of the company is good. Wang Yan is not arrogant at all. Everyone is a comrade who works together. Although in essence, Wang Yan is a capitalist who exploits them...

Ren Siyu listened to the whole story from beginning to end and was stunned.

"So awesome?" She opened her mouth slightly in surprise, "Isn't this too legendary?"

"So you thought I was bragging before?" Yang Cheng was speechless.

"Doesn't that mean that if he were to cash out and sell his shares now, he could get 50 million?"

"It can't be sold. He is the founder. If he wants to sell it off, who will believe in the future of this company? Who dares to say that they can do as well as Wang Yan? If that is the case, why didn't such an Internet company succeed before? No one would take it.

It can only be said that he personally sold a small part. I heard Wang Ying tell me that Wang Yan estimated that his shares were worth more than 70 million yuan, and a small part could be sold at this price. If it was 18 million yuan, many people would be willing to take over. Not to mention others, I also wanted to ask my family to pay for his shares.

Don't even think about it. Wang Yan won't sell his shares. He will lose too much money if he sells them now. It's not worth it. When the company goes public, the money he loses will be ten times more. And he pays himself a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, which is enough for him to spend."

"Did Wang Ying tell you all that?" Ren Siyu knew Wang Ying, or rather, had she met him before.

"She works part-time for Wang Yan."

Ren Siyu teased, "Young Miss has also understood the people's sentiments?"

"It's not quite what you think. Wang Yan's girlfriend and Wang Ying live in the same dormitory, and they are all friends. Wang Yan asked them to rotate through various departments to learn about corporate structure and business administration."

"Mr. Wang is quite good."

"Very generous and fair."

"No way, Mr. Yang, you guys can't even afford a drink worth 10,000 yuan, why is Wang Yan so generous?"

"Do you only care about money?" Yang Cheng looked disgusted. "Wang Ying and the others rotate, and Wang Yan personally guides and teaches them. Is this something that anyone can do? His company provides three meals a day. Breakfast is normal, and lunch and dinner are five dishes and one soup. He asked teachers from the school to come and give guidance and tutoring to the seniors for their papers. The fruits, snacks, and drinks in the company...

He has another company called Youxiang.com, which is an e-commerce company and is currently promoting it. He found a partner who used to sell computers in Zhongguancun. He sold all his belongings and invested 2 million yuan. Wang Yan gave him 20% of the shares..."

I listened to Yang Cheng talk about Wang Yan’s treatment in the company and Liu Qiangdong’s story.

Ren Siyu was confused: "Isn't this still money?"

"If it were you, would you be willing to spend it? And that Youxiang.com, 2 million for 20% of the shares, do you know how much of a bargain it is? Not to mention that Youxiang.com is connected to Zhiwo.com, even if there is nothing, at present, with Wang Yan's name, this company is worth more than 10 million red notes. Pattern, do you understand? Pattern!"

Seeing Ren Siyu's disapproving look, Yang Cheng shook his head: "Let me tell you something you can understand. I heard from Wang Ying that Wang Yan plans to raise funds again next year. By then, in order to enrich the content of the website and fulfill his own artistic dream, he will take out several million to publish a magazine and give it to his girlfriend and Wang Ying and others to run it together." "Generous! Gentle! No doubt!" Ren Siyu understood now.

Glancing at her, Yang Cheng shook his head and continued driving, ignoring this superficial woman who was greedy for money...

Wang Yan drove leisurely around the campus before returning to the company, looking at his classmates who were still working hard and the workers recruited from the society.

They didn't leave.

It is not yet time for workers to take a holiday, they only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year.

The students who stayed were all juniors and seniors. They were all fighting for the future. The more they worked with Wang Yang, the more excited and passionate they became. Because the company was really heading for glory and was constantly expanding, their future was also getting brighter. It was no problem if they didn't go back for a year or two. They didn't have to worry about graduation or their future. The money they earned was enough to live on. They were all working towards the same goal.

Go public!

Some other students come from poor families and cannot afford the round-trip travel expenses to go home.

Now they are working part-time at Wang Yan's job. They live in the school dormitory at night, and their three meals are provided. They also earn part-time money. Those who are majoring in related fields can learn some knowledge, and those who are not majoring in related fields can also get some training and adapt to the society in advance. These are all good things.

Amid the buzzing noise, Wang Yan arrived at a corner of the company, where six people were working, four men and two women.

However, their desks are different from others. In addition to computers and monitors, there are also a large number of tools and various circuit boards, all of which are hardware related.

"What's going on?" he asked, leaning over.

"It's OK, Brother Yan." The senior student called him brother very smoothly, "But the more I make it, the more I feel that this thing has great potential. It feels a bit wasteful to send it to the restaurant."

In his hand was a simple tablet device with a black and white display and various connected wires.

The student said, "We can definitely find a way to shrink it, use a touch screen, and add a communication module. It will be much better than current mobile phones."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, then nodded with a smile: "Your idea is good, but the current technology is not up to the task, and the cost is also high. But this is a direction. After you finish this, you can study this project. If it succeeds, your name will be in the history of China's Internet.

However, our main goal now is to promote our local life services. This terminal is our tentacle for integrating online and offline. With it, we can convert online traffic into real offline money, which will further increase our valuation and allow us to take a solid step towards listing.

But if you develop the mobile phone you mentioned, then you have nothing to do with Zhiwo.com's listing. No, I will register a new company tomorrow, and you will all be there to research this. You will all be the veterans of this company. Obviously, the communication business is more profitable than ours. Come on, tell me if you have anything to say.

Now, let's take a look at the terminal."

This does not have a very high technical content and there is no breakthrough. It is assembled using existing technology.

It looks like a tablet, and after connecting to the Internet, it can interact with Zhiwo.com. You can get coupons and buy packages on Zhiwo.com, and the store there can receive the order for offline verification.

The transaction uses the online payment tool that is being developed as a third-party intermediary guarantee. The user places an order and pays the money, which is first stored in the account. After the offline consumption is completed and confirmed to be correct and without dispute, the commission is directly deducted and the money is transferred to the offline store account to complete the transaction.

So in addition to receiving orders, the tablet also has other buttons for adding or reducing consumption items, user signing, confirming order submission and other operations. There is also a matching printer for printing bills.

The functions are quite complete and comprehensive.

Wang Yan even planned to use the Wi-Fi function to create a restaurant ordering system, which is feasible at present. In this way, the online and offline catering services can be combined more naturally. Using this terminal alone is still a bit troublesome.

After a period of development, the terminal has been basically completed. It only needs some minor adjustments, and then it can be produced by a factory.

Wang Yan then took the opportunity to ask them to make some vegetable treasures and study them slowly.

The restaurants nowadays are not as formal as they will be later, unlike later, when slightly larger restaurants all used electronic ordering. But it does not mean that there is no market. There will be slightly larger restaurants in the future, and there are naturally many now, and they can still make money.

Of course, this is just a side job, not the main business, so we still have to distinguish the primary from the secondary.

After reading the research on the terminal, Wang Yan went to the payment development team, sorted out the business processes again, and helped solve several development problems.

In this place full of geniuses, everyone acknowledges the fact that the boss is a genius, and he seems to know everything.

In response, Wang Yan said that he was actually a stupid person, but just an average person, and that he was able to achieve what he has today because of his father's love...

There is still some time before the Chinese New Year, but for those who get together, it seems that every day is Chinese New Year. Everyone is having fun together and constantly promoting the progress of various projects.

Wang Yan took time out to lead a team personally to discuss cooperation and promotion business with a restaurant that had a good reputation according to Zhiwo.com reviews around Peking University and Tsinghua University.

During the conversation, they often said that the store’s business was not bad to begin with, and it was even better recently, so there was no reason to give up part of the profits to cooperate with Wang Yan.

So Wang Yan nodded politely, left the phone number of the relevant promoter, and asked them to contact him later, then got up and went to the store next door that didn't have such good reviews...

No one doesn't want to make money, but some people have a bad attitude and don't work seriously. Wang Yan helps them find themselves and promises to help them make more money, so the deal is naturally done.

All of this has not yet shown any power, because the business has not started yet. But when school starts next year and a lot of people come to eat, Wang Yan believes that the well-received store next door will seriously listen to every rule spoken by the Zhiwo.com promoter...

Wang Yan went out to do business for the whole morning. When he returned to the company, he unexpectedly saw Xie Qiao, Qin Chuan, and a girl with a round face. The three of them were happily eating their lunch boxes, which were very sweet.

"What's the matter? You have food at home but you don't want to eat it, so you come to my place to eat for free?"

Wang Yan took the lunch box and sat over, then asked with a smile...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
