Chapter 25 Young people are really amazing nowadays
Beijing, 2008pm, September 9, 6.

"Lao Cai, stop staring at the computer and come over to eat."

A gentle and pretty woman, holding chopsticks in her hand, went to the study to urge her man to come out for dinner.

"Baoshan, please bring the food over for me."

Cai Wensheng sat in front of the computer, reading industry information and project reports while checking his QQ account to see if there was any message.

"Aren't we going back to Lu Island in a few days? Why do you, a big boss, need to personally watch over the computer?"

Wang Baoshan complained softly.

But she still carefully plated the food and brought it to the study.

"He's an interesting young man."

Cai Wensheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the high school boy with the online name [CPeak Xu].

"Young people nowadays are really amazing. When I was looking for Xingping to acquire hao123, Xingping was only 25 years old. When I met Xinhong to work on domain names, Xinhong was only a sophomore in high school. This kid is only a senior in high school, but his vision, ideas and pattern are all very impressive. Some of them are more insightful than an old guy like me who is only 38 years old."

Cai Wensheng sighed a little. Wang Baoshan stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into his hands and patted his arm gently.

"Okay, you old man, you are still young and in good health. You still have to eat after waiting."

"Well, when we get back to Lu Island, I won't be busy. I'll take a walk with you every day and read with Xiaokai and Xiaolin."

Cai Wensheng finished speaking and wolfed down his meal.

In order to better get in touch with the forefront of the Internet, Cai Wensheng moved his team from Ludao to Beijing in 05.

Although these few years have indeed added a lot of connections for him and allowed him to accumulate wealth, especially his 265 domain name received a million-dollar investment from IDG and was subsequently acquired by Google China for a large sum of money, he has achieved financial freedom and transformed himself into an angel investor.

Perhaps it is a habit ingrained in the bones of the Minnan people. Cai Wensheng is also very keen on promoting newcomers and discovering talents.

Last week he posted a complaint on his blog about the recent pessimism among his friends. Unexpectedly, this attracted a young fan with some insightful opinions.

But my friend request has never been approved, probably because high school students only have the opportunity to use computers on weekends.

He didn't want to miss the opportunity to interact with young talents, so he stayed in front of the computer.

"knock knock"

Cai Wensheng put down his chopsticks, held the bowl with his left hand, and picked up the mouse with his right hand.

"【Cpeak许】has been verified by your friend."

"Well"

Cai Wensheng quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the bowl, and put his hands on the keyboard.

Seeing that he was busy with work, Wang Baoshan left the study without disturbing him.

“pizi: Hello, Xiao Xu, I’m Cai Wensheng.”

If the other party can find your blog comments, he should be your fan.

"Cpeak Xu: Hello, Brother Cai."

"Pizi: OK, I'm very interested in your views on grassroots culture and grassroots economy in the comments you left on my blog. Would it be convenient for us to communicate?"

"Cpeak Xu: Sure, why not just call me directly, 138xxxxxxx31."

This kid.

Cai Wensheng thought this kid was pretty good and not at all stage-frightened.

When facing a successful business tycoon or elder, if he has the courage to communicate with him instantly by phone, it means that he is very confident and mature about his views on these aspects.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Cai Wensheng feels that this 17-year-old boy has a bright future.

"beep"

"Hey?"

The call was picked up quickly, and a very youthful voice came from the receiver, and it was obvious that he was not very old.

"Hello Brother Cai, I'm Xu Qingshan."

Cai Wensheng's eyebrows relaxed. This young man seemed quite calm. "Good evening, Xiao Xu. I hope this won't take up your study time?"

"Being able to communicate with Brother Cai is a more valuable learning time than reading textbooks."

Xu Qingshan's answer surprised Cai Wensheng a little.

Are young people nowadays so amazing? Not only are they knowledgeable, but they also know how to behave and speak? Is this really 17 years old?
Cai Wensheng recalled his 17-year-old self
Forget it. I don’t want to think about it. It’s easy to want to go back and slap myself twice.

"You kid, stop being so ridiculous. Are you really 17 years old this year? Are you in your third year of high school?"

"It's true. I'm studying in Longjiang. I just finished my bimonthly exam yesterday."

"Longjiang? Are you from southern Fujian?"

Cai Wensheng was a little surprised because this was his fellow villager.

"Yes, from Yunzhang County, but now I'm studying in the city."

"The Yun Zhang who made fake cigarettes?"

"Yun Zhang, the one who sells loquats."

Cai Wensheng's not-so-clever question was easily resolved by Xu Qingshan.

"Haha, that's not what I meant. My wife, your sister-in-law, is also from Yunzhang. It seems like we are all from the same hometown."

"Is that so? Then I have to stick with Sister more, and Brother Cai will become my brother-in-law."

After just a few words, they chatted enthusiastically even though they had never met before.

Cai Wensheng did not think that Xu Qingshan was offensive or trying to curry favor with him. When fellow villagers met young children outside, if they were capable, they would help them to some extent. Moreover, in his opinion, Xu Qingshan was a potential stock.

"Hey, that's all. We plan to move back to Ludao from Beijing in a while. When you finish your exams, or if you want to come to Ludao for vacation, just give me a call and I'll drive to pick you up."

Although they didn't talk about any serious business, Cai Wensheng had basically confirmed Xu Qingshan's abilities.

He is eloquent and knows when to act. He is not an ordinary child.

"That's too much trouble, Brother Cai. When you guys return to Lu Island, I'll visit you when I have the chance and bring you some fresh Yunzhang loquats."

"Hey, don't be so polite, we are all family."

The two, one big and one small, were separated by thousands of miles, but they just had a few seemingly meaningless chats, without mentioning any serious matters, but they established a superficial relationship.

Xu Qingshan was sitting in his room, standing by the window looking at the traffic downstairs, and he knew that it was time for him to show some useful information to Cai Wensheng.

"Then I won't be polite. It's mainly because I saw Brother Cai's blog last weekend. It happened to be within my scope of knowledge, so I was tempted to comment. Let me talk about it briefly. Brother Cai, please help me correct me if there are any mistakes."

"There's nothing wrong with that. You're amazing. I want to ask you for advice."

Xu Qingshan smiled after listening to Cai Wensheng's words. He would not take the words of such a big boss seriously when their status were not equal. He still had to maintain the proper attitude.

"As far as I understand it, grassroots culture is actually popular culture and civilian culture, and grassroots economy is also mass economy. Products that really want to be successful must be able to establish a mass base."

"In 2007, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in my country was 13786 yuan, the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 4140 yuan, and the national per capita consumption expenditure was about 6600 yuan."

"Our consumption and economic models are different from those in the West. At present, our national Internet penetration rate and average education level are not high enough. Therefore, some people will pay for those empty-headed elite cultures, but it will not be the case that everyone will pay for them. What our grassroots economy needs to do is to achieve this word 'everyone'."

"Understand the maximum needs of the whole people, use the simplest and most direct functions and methods to meet the needs of the whole people, grasp the pain points of users, and firmly occupy the sinking market of society, so that we can create products for the whole people."

"It's like the difference between web games and online games. Web games can be regarded as the sinking market of online games to some extent."

Xu Qingshan’s solution was completely spot on.

Cai Wensheng advocates grassroots culture, so he talks a lot about grassroots.

But in fact, the development trend of the Internet is changing very quickly, and Xu Qingshan does not fully agree with Cai Wensheng's ideas.

This can be seen from the fact that Meitu Group later had difficulty monetizing its traffic.

"Moreover, I think one of the future directions for the development of my country's Internet is to grasp the sinking market. Holding the sinking market means the support of the people. I think Brother Cai should be very clear about what this means in China."

Xu Qingshan thought about it and decided to use a powerful move with more power.

"And here I will make a simple and bold prediction. Brother Cai, please listen and see if it makes sense."
