Chapter 1153 I Am Your Nobleman
in the room.
Li Dong met Wang Xin seriously for the first time.
Very young, outsiders say that Li Dong is too young, but Wang Xin is actually not very old.
Wang Xin, who is less than 30 years old this year, created Xiaonei five years ago, which caused the SNS website craze back then.
Five years ago, Wang Xin was only 24 years old, and many people are still gnawing at the age of 24.
For five years, Wang Xin stumbled, saying he made money, and made some money. At the end of 2006, he sold Xiaonei.com for 2 million US dollars.
However, not all of this money belongs to him, and if some of it is divided, he will only have several million yuan left.
In the past two years, he has invested in the establishment of some websites. Last year, he also launched Fanfou, and the money has long been spent.
At this time, Wang Xin was impoverished and miserable.
When Li Dong looked at Wang Xin, Wang Xin was also looking at Li Dong.
He participated in the Internet conference, saw Li Dong's arrogance, and saw Li Dong's words, the four sides were silent.
I also saw that Li Donggai suppressed all the big shots in the IT industry, talking and laughing with ministers and mayors.
Wang Xin was jealous.
Li Dong is only 23 years old!
At the age of 24, he founded Xiaonei, and at the age of 25, he went to VC for financing with full of enthusiasm.
As a result, the sentence he greeted the most was: "You are too young, how can we trust you?"
Or: "If you are Zhou Hongyi, and you say what the future holds, we believe in you and can raise funds, but you are not, sorry!"
Once, he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for a financing of 1 million US dollars, and was even willing to give up the dominance of Xiaonei.
However, the result was frustrating, and he was still ignored.
Because, he is too young!
At one time, he also thought that he was too young, so others did not trust him. At one time, he once felt that it is really difficult for young people to start a business, even if you have unlimited abilities.
But when he knew of Li Dong's existence, Wang Xin felt desperate. It turned out that being young was just an excuse.
How old is Li Dong?
Last year, his Yuanfang Technology wanted to raise funds, and VC/PE institutions from all over the world flocked to it!
1 billion US dollars?
I'm sorry, Li Dong ignored you, you can go as far as you go.
2 billion US dollars?
Go on!
Even in the end, Li Dong offered a sky-high price of 4 billion RMB. Just like that, there are still people who are tempted!
At that time, Li Dong was 22 years old.
And he, 25 years old, was looking for a financing of 1 million US dollars, and he almost kowtowed, and no one paid attention to him. Is it really because of his age?
Wang Xin used to be envious, jealous, and resentful. However, when he really saw Li Dong, Wang Xin's emotions gradually dissipated.
Age is not an excuse.
Regardless of whether Li Dong is lucky, lucky, or well-connected, in essence, Li Dong has no deeper foundation than him.
Li Dong was born in a merchant's family, started from scratch, and has laid a solid industrial foundation before entering the Internet field. Wang Xin thinks he can't do this.
At any rate, his family is considered wealthy, so he was recommended to Aoki University, and all the way to the United States to study for a doctorate.
At least fundamentally, he is luckier than Li Dong.
In terms of age, he is also older than Li Dong. In any case, if he loses, he loses. It is difficult to find an excuse to say that others are luckier than himself. That is the performance of the weak and incompetent.
The two sides looked at each other for a while, and waited for Bai Su to serve the tea.
Li Dong took a sip, smiled lightly and said, "Xiaonei raised 430 million U.S. dollars in April, how do you feel?"
The corner of Wang Xin's mouth twitched, saying that Li Dong likes to slap his face, as expected!
At the end of 206, he sold Xiaonei.com for US$2 million, and Thousand Oaks took over. In a little over a year, he turned around and raised more than US$4 billion, nearly 3 billion RMB!
This gap is enough to make many people despair, make many people feel heartbroken, and want to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
This is also his Wang Xin's pain, now that Li Dong uncovered it, Wang Xin's heart twitched, and he said in a deep voice after a while: "Envy, jealousy, regret, all have happened!
but,
In the end, I realized a truth, or I am not strong enough!
If I was strong enough, today, there would be no news of Thousand Oaks' financing success. "
Li Dong smiled, didn't continue this topic, and said: "Then why are you looking for me?"
"I want to do an internship at Weibo for a few months."
Li Dong was a little dazed, and after a while he laughed and said, "It's interesting, are you doing it for food?"
"Yes, strictly speaking, Fanfou is not the first self-media social networking site in China, but it is the self-media platform with the most complete functions, the closest to Titter, and the most suitable for domestic people.
I have always felt that Fanfou will be successful and will lead to trends.
But I finally found out that I still failed.
When Yuanfang Weibo was launched, Fanfou had no competition and collapsed in an instant. I was very disappointed and it was difficult to accept this.
And when Weibo became popular in the distance and several companies in Sina followed suit, I felt that I still had hope.
No matter what Fanfou said, the foundation has already been laid.
I think that if I find a financing party at this time, I can still compete with Yuanfang and other Weibo.
But all the VC agencies rejected me, they told me that they didn't want to lose money, and they didn't want to lose everything.
Because Yuanfang Weibo is currently the Weibo with the largest market share, the most users, and the largest amount of information on the market, and Fanfou does not have any competitiveness.
I don't understand why they have such an idea?
In terms of foundation, Fanfou is no worse than Yuanfang Weibo.
Of course, not only for Fanfou, but also for my personal future. "
Li Dong laughed again, and couldn't help but said, "Are you serious?"
Wang Xin nodded seriously, and then said: "That's why I want to go to a distant place to see and experience it for real.
I even had the idea to go to a distant place to apply for a job on Weibo as a loser quietly. I wanted to see where the gap between us is.
I don't think it's a functional problem, but maybe it's the concept, management, concept and future that made Fanfou a complete failure.
But I thought about it for a long time. As an ordinary employee, I went to Weibo in the distance, and what I saw might not be so real, not so real.
That's why I hope that I can enter Yuanfang Weibo through Mr. Li.
Of course, I know this request is too much, but I can sign an agreement. After I come out from Yuanfang, I will no longer operate a self-media platform, nor will I compete with Yuanfang. "
Li Dong was speechless, unable to laugh or cry: "You came to me for this?"
Wang Xin smiled, and said: "Of course, apart from this, I really want to see Mr. Li.
Really, I've been looking forward to it for a long time.
Since 2007, I have always hoped to have a conversation with Mr. Li to make up for my shortcomings.
I am 29 years old this year, and I am about to reach my thirties.
But now I am a little confused. I have communicated with many people, such as Mr. Chen from Thousand Oaks, Mr. Zhou from Qihoo, and even Mr. Ma from Tencent.
However, they always tell me that you are still young and the future has unlimited possibilities.
Several seniors praised me, saying that I did a good job, but it was only because I was young and lacked a bit of luck that this situation was caused.
At the beginning, I also used youth as a truth and an excuse.
But when I found out about Mr. Li's existence, I felt that I had really failed, and being young is not an excuse for failure.
Compared with the same situation, whether it is Baidu, Ali, or Sina, I have no intention of meeting the seniors of these companies.
I really want to have a chat with Mr. Li, what else am I missing that makes me fail again and again? "
Li Dong wanted to laugh, this was the first time someone came to ask him with a serious and expectant attitude, why did he fail?
How far is he from success?
Where is Li Dong's attitude towards life and the secret of success?
If it were an ordinary person, Li Dong would definitely be too lazy to talk to him.
But Wang Xin is also a top talent in the industry, no matter whether he can be recruited or not, he can't just say nothing.
Li Dong pondered for a moment, and then smiled after a while: "The question Mr. Wang asked is actually quite profound. If it is someone else, I will definitely talk to him about the philosophy of life.
Of course, I am also young, if I really want to say this, it might be a joke if it gets out.
I will not talk about the philosophy of life, and it is meaningless to pretend to be deep.
Mr. Wang came here twice, and I also like to deal with people of the same age, so I will say something simple, right and wrong, Mr. Wang understands by himself. "
Wang Xin's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "Mr. Li, tell me, I think your high opinion will definitely help me."
"It's too polite, forget it, I'll call you by your name, calling Mr. Wang is too unfamiliar.
You can just call me by my name, and it's not an affiliation relationship. Meeting and chatting in private makes me nervous. "
Li Dong said something, undid a button, leaned on the sofa and relaxed, smiled and said: "In fact, I have known about the situation on your side.
You ask me, why do you fail?
In fact, in my opinion, it is very simple!
First, you have no money! "
Wang Xin looked embarrassed, nonsense, of course I know I have no money, but anyone who just started a business has money.
Isn't everyone going to raise funds and find capital exhibitions?
Why does it not work when it comes to me?
Li Dong glanced at him, and said in a calm and unhurried manner, "If you say you have no money, you must be thinking, isn't this nonsense?"
Although Wang Xin thinks so, it can be seen that it is not that easy on Li Dong's side. Li Dong is also a big man in the industry, and it is no good to offend him. Wang Xin hurriedly said: "Mr. Li misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Although Li Dong asked him to call him by his first name, he still chose the honorific one.
Li Dong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's right or not, I'll talk about my understanding.
You may think that other people have no money, so why can they be successful, but I can't?
You may have forgotten that the background of the times is different, the personal experience is different, and age is actually a problem.
When Ma Yun first started his business, was anyone willing to give him a chance?
Before he founded Ali, he also made many websites, but all of them failed.
Ma Yun's Ali is the result after he failed many times.
As for Tencent, it was also short of money at the beginning, and its business was bleak. Ma Huateng was almost sold for hundreds of thousands, and finally came back to life. It can only be said that luck is on his side.
Baidu is even simpler. People start their own businesses after they have money.
Before Li Yanhong started his business, Xu Yong contributed money and effort, leading him around to invest, and when the money was in hand, he started to work hard.
You are different, you don’t have any experience, you started your business before you finished your studies, and no one invested in you in advance.
Moreover, the sns website you made has similar websites abroad. To put it more clearly, it is a counterfeit.
You are the same as me. I am not saying that imitation is not good. Baidu is also imitating. Most domestic Internet companies are imitating.
I'll change it with you, and I can't succeed.
In the Internet field, if there are similar things, your things are worthless, at least in a certain stage of money, this thing is worthless.
Why am I successful?
If I was penniless at the beginning and got a distant shopping mall, do you think someone would be optimistic about me and invest in me?
It's just nonsense!
I have money by myself, and it will be different if I do this again. In the initial stage, I don't need to ask for help.
After I pass the initial stage, my product is ready, I have customers, and I still have a successful precedent here, so others come to me for investment.
Capital institutions, in fact, are the same as ordinary people. It is normal for capital institutions to adapt to the wind.
So today's young people, if they want to be successful, they have to experience many failures, or they have money and don't ask others for everything.
Otherwise, it will be too difficult to succeed.
Maybe there will be a successful day, but this time will be extended by five years, ten years, or even longer. "
Although Wang Xin felt that what Li Dong said was a bit absolute, but seeing that the other party was a big boss, he still nodded.
Li Dong didn't mind what he thought, and continued: "Second, you haven't met a nobleman, so be optimistic about your nobleman."
The corner of Wang Xin's mouth started to twitch again, it's still nonsense!
What you said was pretty good at the Internet conference, why are you talking nonsense when you come to me?
Of course I know that I haven't met a noble person, but since I said that I am a noble person, it is not so easy to meet.
Wang Xin wondered if Li Dong was deliberately making fun of himself.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not right, Li Dong is a big shot, and now he's just a small guy who failed to start a business, so Li Dong doesn't need to deliberately entertain him.
Li Dong observed his expression, smiled and said: "I'm serious, your ability is actually not bad, you also have execution ability, and the overall situation is not bad.
With these points, and then tempered, has come to the threshold of success.
But now, you still need someone to push you.
Now, if you don’t have a reputation, that’s not the case. Thousand Oaks’ financing was successful, and you took the opportunity to become popular, but it’s not a good reputation, and there are not a few people who call you a fool.
Bad reputation, no money if you want money, no one if you want people.
In this case, if you want to start a business now, it is more difficult to succeed than before.
You only think about starting a business and begging others, but in my opinion, you made a mistake.
At this time, you should choose to settle down, settle down for a few years, lay a solid foundation, make contacts, and attract funds. At that time, it is time for you to soar into the sky. "
Wang Xin was thoughtful, and repeated: "Lay the foundation, make contacts, and raise funds?"
"Yes, it is these three points. If you have achieved it, success is in sight."
Wang Xin smiled wryly, it was easy to say, but hard to do.
Li Dong said again: "Don't think it's difficult, in fact, these three points can be done at the same time.
Didn't you say you were going to work on Weibo in a distant place?
When you go to a distant place, you can lay a foundation and solidify yourself, and the business in the distant place has reached the present, and various VC/PE institutions are dealing with us, and we are also the world's top capital institutions.
In addition to them, the predecessors in the Internet industry also often communicate with distant places.
You have traveled far, and you have connections and foundations, and you have it all.
As for funds, with the above two points, if you become famous far away, are you afraid that no one will be optimistic about you? "
Wang Xin's brows twitched, and he suddenly understood what Li Dong wanted to say.
After struggling for a while, Wang Xin said dryly, "President Li, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is simple, you say go to a distant place to do Weibo for a few months, what can you see in a few months? What contacts can you make? What fame can you make?
Give yourself a little more time, three years, use three years to hone yourself, and use three years to settle yourself.
After three years, you can choose to leave, or not to leave.
At that time, if you leave and start your own business, you will be more successful than now. If you do well, if others don’t support you, I will support you.
If you don't leave, it means that the development prospects in the distance are greater than your personal entrepreneurship, so I don't need to say anything. "
Wang Xin opened his mouth wide, now he understands!
Li Dong wasn't talking nonsense, he was planning to let himself work for him!
A few months is not enough, three years to start!
You want money but no money, no one if you want people, no fame if you want fame, no nobles if you want nobles...
Now, you have gone far away and have everything!
Qian, Li Dong will support you in three years, nobleman, Li Dong is the biggest nobleman, the premise is three years later!
But the key point is that he just wants to go to a distant place to study for a few months.
Well, this request is a little too much, but I didn't want to go to a distant place to work for you for three years.
Wang Xin really wanted to refuse, and wanted to say, I want to continue to start a business.
But Wang Xin was a little hesitant in his heart. What Li Dong said was actually not all nonsense. If he really wanted to settle in a distant place for three years, after three years, he would come out of the mountain again. Maybe it would be much better than now.
At least, if he did what Li Dong wanted, and Li Dong, a tycoon, supported him, he wouldn't have to ask for help.
And once the re-starting business fails, maybe three years have passed.
Just when he was hesitating, Li Dong smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing to consider, try going to a distant place, and you can come to me before the National Day.
It's fine if you don't come after the National Day, but if you come again, it means that you are not decisive enough, this is not the helper I want, and the distance will not accept you.
For me, there is actually no shortage of people now, but who makes everyone young, I like dealing with young people. "
What Li Dong said was old-fashioned, but Wang Xin couldn't refute it.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xin said softly: "Thank you Mr. Li for your attention. I will think about it again. I will definitely give you an answer before the National Day."
"I hope to have the opportunity to work together."
Li Dong said some polite words, and sent away the confused Wang Xin.
After he left, Li Dong couldn't help laughing and said, "It's very cool to fool people, no wonder the old horse always likes to fool you."
Bai Su, who was packing the tea set at the side, shook his hands, and said helplessly after a long while: "Mr. Li, I don't think you are fooling around. How many people want to come to a faraway place can't come. This is his honor."
"The flattering is good." Li Dong joked, and said with a sigh of relief: "There is a lack of helm on Weibo, and I just met a suitable one, otherwise there is no need to fool him."
Bai Su was startled, who is at the helm of Weibo?
Weibo was spun off from Yuanfang Technology by Li Dong last time, and the CEO candidate has not been determined yet.
Now Liu Hong is still in charge, and many people are thinking about this position. Unexpectedly, Li Dong thought of Wang Xin.
Can this four-eyed man really be up to the task?
Li Dong didn't say much, Wang Xin on Weibo is really suitable, and when the time is right, it's not impossible to get a Meituan out.
Faraway's o2o is on the right track, and the logistics system is becoming more and more stable.
In addition to the promotion of Wanjia.com, to be honest, the promotion of Meituan in the distance is a hundred times easier than other companies.
Since there are ready-made candidates, there is no disadvantage in recruiting them.
As for whether Wang Xin would come or not, Li Dong didn't care too much.
It's a good thing to come, but if it doesn't work, I'll find someone else myself.
In the past two years, the reputation of Yuanfang Science and Technology has grown, and it is not difficult to really recruit a few high-level talents.
Without thinking about it any more, Li Dong got up and stretched his waist and said, "Clean up and go back to Jiangbei tomorrow."
Bai Su nodded hastily, and didn't think about Wang Xin anymore.
