Chapter 408 0398 [They are all successful entrepreneurs, but their styles are completely different]

In Hunan TV's large studio, there were 2009 18-year-old high school students in the audience.

They are different from the star-struck fans outside; they were invited by Hunan TV from key high schools across the country.

The opening song and dance was a medley of songs such as "Happy Worship" and "Change Yourself," but instead of Wilber Pan and Wang Leehom, they were performed by singers that Chen Guiliang did not recognize.

It might be the Super Boys and Super Girls of the last two years, but Chen Guiliang didn't pay much attention to them.

Chen Guiliang was chatting with someone backstage when he suddenly heard He Jiong shout from the studio: "Students of Huanggang Middle School, where are you?"

"what!!!"

A group of high school students began to cheer.

Then Xie Na called out again, "How are you, students of Qiandong Middle School?"

"Woohoo~~~~~"

Another enthusiastic response followed.

As the names of key high schools were announced one after another, Chen Guiliang couldn't help but laugh: "Doesn't this sound like a rally for the national key high schools to prepare for the college entrance examination?"

Bian Guanyue chuckled, amused: "It's just a normal coming-of-age ceremony. Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Back in the studio, the three hosts were making silly jokes again, but the atmosphere was definitely very cheerful.

2009 students from top-tier high schools each received a gift.

They thought they could choose who to give the gift to, but instead, the recipients were randomly selected from a large screen.

A boy wrote a love letter to the girl he liked, but it was randomly given to a boy he didn't know, and the contents of the love letter were even read aloud by Xie Na with great emotion...

"No! Don't read it!!!!"

The boy was almost going crazy, screaming in his seat.

Public execution.

The entire high school student audience burst into laughter.

Next up was a song and dance performance.

Chen Guiliang asked, "Have you heard of the C-BLOCK group that just came on stage?"

Bian Guanyue shook her head: "I don't know."

Chen Guiliang sighed, "I don't recognize him either. Sigh, we're all getting old. No wonder those fans don't recognize me."

"Hello, grandpa. I'm not old, I just don't follow the rap scene, that's why I don't know them." Bian Guanyue didn't want to be an old lady.

Xiaolu's sister should like it very much.

Suddenly, a staff member shouted, "Mr. Guo Xiaosi, get ready to go on stage."

Guo Xiaosi straightened his suit and stood at the entrance of the passageway, waiting.

Not long after, the passageway gate opened.

The moment Guo Xiaosi walked out, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

Wow, it's still so popular.

Although "Wolf Totem" generated a lot of buzz last year, the best-selling book of the year was "Tiny Times 1"...

When Guo Xiaosi returned after delivering the gifts, a group of college student models who had just turned 18 were walking out.

The two passed each other, and Guo Xiaosi's head only reached the chest of a female college student.

It's not that he's too short, but that the girl is too tall; she was a placard bearer at last year's Olympic Games opening ceremony.

"Goodbye, Mr. Chen." Guo Xiaosi came over and shook hands with Chen Guiliang.

Chen Guiliang said, "Goodbye."

Guo Jingming seemed to have forgotten about Bian Guanyue and the other guests. He went to say goodbye to Mr. Yuan and then left without saying anything.

He even forgot about Li Yanhong and Yu Minhong.

Yu Minhong said, "Your senior brother... never mind."

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "I'm not familiar with him, so I don't know what he's thinking."

Yu Minhong asked, "You said you were going to give away HarmonyOS phones. Did you actually make that phone?"

Chen Guiliang nodded: "The engineering prototype has been completed and is currently undergoing verification testing."

From prototype verification and testing to final mass production and sales, even if everything goes smoothly, it will take at least half a year. If some aspects go wrong, it could take up to a year.

Yu Minhong, who knew nothing about making mobile phones, thought they could be produced immediately and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Awesome!"

Li Yanhong listened intently, already having the idea of ​​making mobile phones in his mind.

He's just like Chow Yun-fat, always wanting to get involved in every business.

Of course, Baidu's approach to making mobile phones is different from Tencent's.

Li Yanhong knew he wasn't suited for hardware, so he wanted to focus on mobile platforms. He would deeply customize Symbian and Android operating systems, integrate Baidu's search and e-commerce services, and then partner with phone manufacturers for OEM/ODM projects.

Baidu produces a lot of OEM phones, having partnered with Dell, Changhong, and Foxconn. They also collaborate with mobile carriers like China Mobile, focusing on offering phones for free.

But none of these Baidu phones made a splash. Later, they simply licensed their DuerOS (Baidu's AI operating system) to manufacturers such as Huawei, Vivo, and Oppo.

"Mr. Chen, is your phone a Meizu?" Li Yanhong couldn't help but ask, he was genuinely curious.

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "Yes. Tencent is also making mobile phones. Does President Li know about this?"

Li Yanhong was taken aback, then said, "I've heard about it. Is this news true?"

"It might be true. I wonder which Tencent employee leaked the information. Or maybe Mr. Ma deliberately spread the word," Chen Guiliang said.

Robin Li became even more determined to make mobile phones; Baidu had to follow suit if Tencent was doing it.

"Mr. Li Yanhong, please prepare to enter the stage!"

"okay, I get it."

Two or three minutes later, the passageway door opened, and Li Yanhong walked out with an air of nonchalance.

Yu Minhong smiled and said, "Your relationship seems to be quite good."

"Do we have to be so gossipy? If he poachs my people, I'll poach his too," Chen Guiliang said.

Yu Minhong said, "You guys have been making quite a stir lately. You, Zhang Chaoyang, and Wang Erlei teamed up to mock him online. So many companies are watching the show, and everyone wants to know how it will end."

"Are you very familiar with Li Yanhong?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Yu Minhong shook her head: "We're not close, but not strangers either. We're all alumni of Peking University, so we'll inevitably run into each other sometimes. He donated ten million yuan to Peking University this year, and it was the donation I made right after I came back from an event at Peking University. That makes me seem stingy. Damn it, I should have donated some back then too."

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "You can donate now, no one's stopping you."

Yu Minhong said, "I still have to choose the right time, otherwise people will think I'm trying to show off. Next time Peking University invites me back, I will donate money then."

As Li Yanhong walked into the studio, half of the high school students cheered when they heard his name.

Fearing that Robin Li would be left out, He Jiong shouted to the high school students who weren't reacting much: "This is Mr. Robin Li, the CEO of Baidu!"

Baidu?

The entire audience erupted in cheers, and the high school students all stood up.

Li Yanhong took the initiative to shake hands with the audience, and all the high school students on both sides of the aisle immediately reached out their hands. He really shook hands with them one by one, showing a very approachable and down-to-earth attitude.

The high school students from these top schools all turned into star-struck fans on the spot, shouting wildly and pushing forward to shake his hand.

The three hosts just waited there, and the program director didn't feel comfortable urging them.

As soon as Li Yanhong finished shaking hands and came over, He Jiong immediately took two steps forward to shake hands and greet him, afraid that standing still to shake hands would seem disrespectful.

Sheena was a beat slow to react, only managing to step forward and shake hands, but she quickly made up for it with words: "This is the epitome of a successful man!"

The remaining female host, Yang Yi, stood there dumbly waiting for Li Yanhong to come over, clearly unable to keep up with He Jiong and Xie Na's pace.

The difference in treatment between this host and Guo Jingming is too obvious. When Guo Jingming appeared, all three hosts stood still, while He Jiong was jumping around and making jokes. There were no pleasantries during the interaction; they went straight to the main topic of the evening.

And what about now?

The host wasn't in a hurry to get to the point. He Jiong asked, "Students here, do you think this CEO is handsome?"

"Awesome!" the crowd roared.

"Do you want to be a successful person like that when you grow up?"

"want!"

"Sorry, I misspoke earlier. What does 'growing up' mean... You've all grown up, haven't you?"

"Correct!"

After He Jiong had warmed up the atmosphere, he asked Li Yanhong, "What do you think they like about you?"

Li Yanhong smiled shyly: "I don't know either."

"Wow, what a lovely voice!" The female host named Yang Yi quickly made her presence known, interrupting He Jiong and Li Yanhong's conversation.

Backstage at the program.

Yang Shuo has already delivered the handheld console, and Chen Guiliang is playing the game with Huang Ge.

Anyone with a brain knows that Robin Li is bragging right now, telling everyone how he got into Peking University and how he made Baidu break records on the US stock market.

Moreover, Li Yanhong's boasting is quite smooth and natural, unlike Yu Minhong's boasting, which often seems abrupt.

When New Oriental first went public, Yu Minhong would tell everyone about it, acting like a fisherman: "How did you know I caught a 20-pound fish today?"

"Haha, you're dead, it's my turn!" Chen Guiliang said with great joy.

Huang Ge handed the handheld console to Chen Guiliang: "I'm not very familiar with it yet, but I'll definitely play better next time."

Upon hearing the words "You're dead," Yu Minhong couldn't help but whisper to Bian Guanyue, "Aren't you going to remind him to be careful? This young man really won't live much longer."

Bian Guanyue said, "They're alright, they seem to be having a lot of fun."

Backstage in the entire studio, they were definitely the ones having the most fun, playing games and shouting non-stop, attracting the attention of the other guests.

Chen Guiliang didn't care at all.

Huang Ge, however, was oblivious to what was happening. He was having a great time playing the game today; no one had ever tried to take his place like this before. Usually, everyone would let him have his way.

After watching for a while, Mr. Yuan also came over and asked, "How do you play this game?"

"Want to come along?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Mr. Yuan smiled and said, "You guys continue, I'll just come and take a look. I'll play after I've learned how."

As Chen Guiliang demonstrated and explained, he casually asked, "Does Mr. Yuan usually go online?"

Mr. Yuan said, "I browse some information online."

Chen Guiliang said, "Why don't you register an account on HaiNei.com? You can also give lectures on Renren.com. Just use it to pass the time outside of work."

"Your website can even be used for lectures?" Yuan asked curiously.

Chen Guiliang said, "Academicians Zhou, Yu... they gave online courses to students across the country on the school's intranet last year. The students were very enthusiastic and the courses have been viewed an average of more than six million times."

Then, he explained in detail how to set up online classes, saying that it doesn't take up too much time or require explaining very advanced knowledge.

Chen Guiliang said, "The main purpose is to popularize science and stimulate students' interest in related majors. If Professor Yuan also came, perhaps some high school students would take your online courses, choose agricultural departments when filling out college applications, and maybe even grow into agricultural experts in the future."

Yuan Lao laughed and said, "You really have a good mouth."

Chen Guiliang continued his deception: "The fees paid by other academicians for giving online courses have all been donated to Project Hope in accordance with their wishes. This is a win-win-win situation: academicians spread knowledge, students learn something, the website gains traffic, and impoverished children receive help."

Huang Ge suddenly exclaimed, "That's really good!"

Mr. Yuan was quite interested: "Then I'll get involved too."

In the original timeline, Mr. Yuan also joined Kuaishou...

Chen Guiliang deliberately made mistakes while playing the game.

Huang Ge exclaimed excitedly, "You're dead, now it's my turn!"

"I wasn't concentrating because I was chatting with Mr. Yuan. I'll definitely be able to last longer next time." Chen Guiliang handed the handheld game console to Huang Ge, and then took out his phone to exchange contact information with Mr. Yuan.

After returning to the studio, Li Yanhong gracefully shook hands with everyone to say goodbye.

Handsome, rich, and exceptionally gentlemanly.

Even S.H.E., who came from Taiwan, couldn't help but chat with Li Yanhong and wanted to talk to him a little longer.

Unlike Chen Guiliang, who only cared about playing with Huang Ge and Yuan Lao.

"Sorry I'm a little late." Andy Lau arrived late; he had just flown in from Shanghai.

After Andy Lau finished greeting the others, Chen Guiliang called out, "Brother Hua, do you know this man?"

Andy Lau smiled and said, "I know you, you're an agricultural expert. Hello, Mr. Yuan!"

"Hello! You're Andy Lau, I've heard your songs." Old Yuan was quite fashionable.

Twenty minutes later, it was finally Chen Guiliang's turn to play.

He Jiong called out from the front desk, "This next person has multiple identities. He's a bestselling author from the New Concept Writing Competition, a very successful entrepreneur, and like everyone else, he's still a student. Do you know who he is?"

"Chen Shiyi!"

"Hahahaha!"

Most high school students didn't realize it, but quite a few guessed it instantly.

Moreover, they even made jokes.

Li Yanhong is a successful and elegant man, and his students mainly admire him.

And what about Chen Guiliang?
There's a sense of closeness alongside admiration; they're people you can joke around with.

"Chen Shiyi, look this way!"

"When will the sixth volume of 'Those Things About the Ming Dynasty' be published? I'm about to send you a knife!"

"Hurry up and develop 'Wulin Gaiden'!"

"..."

Chen Guiliang did not shake hands along the way, but only waved to the audience seats on both sides of the aisle.

Those who didn't know who he was asked their classmates.

"The CEOs of Renren and HaiNei.com. They're still students, and they're already worth a billion US dollars."

"Wow, you don't know Chen Guiliang? We even played the face-to-face version of 'Three Kingdoms Kill,' which he created."

As the students around him introduced the characters, the whole room soon erupted in cheers.

"Chen Shiyi, I love you, I want to have your baby!" a boy shouted hoarsely.

Chen Guiliang didn't even bother to turn his head to look over there, and casually gave the middle finger to the audience.

"Hahaha!"

The entire studio burst into laughter.

The three hosts never expected this kind of style.

The previous guests also received enthusiastic responses, but there was still a certain distance between the celebrities and the students.

Chen Guiliang immediately mingled with the students.

If it were Robin Li, he would never do something like giving the middle finger in public.

When Chen Guiliang walked to the center of the stage, Xie Na, having learned her lesson this time, stepped forward with He Jiong to greet him.
