Chapter 25 Young people are so awesome nowadays


Chapter 25 Young people are so powerful now
Beijing, September 6, 2008, 7 pm.

"Lao Cai, stop staring at the computer and come over for dinner."

A gentle-looking woman with chopsticks in her hand went to the study to urge her man to come out for dinner.

"Baoshan, please help me bring the food."

Cai Wenshengku sat in front of the computer, reading industry information and project reports, and checking the idle QQ to see if there was any news.

"Aren't you going back to Ludao in a few days? Why do you, the big boss, need to be in front of the computer to guard anything?"

Wang Baoshan complained softly.

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

"He is an interesting young man."

Cai Wensheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the junior high school kid with the online name [CPeakXu].

"Young people are so powerful nowadays. When I wanted to acquire Xingping to acquire hao123, Xingping was only 25. When I met Xinhong and we were working on domain names together, Xinhong was only in his second year of high school. This time, this kid is only in his third year of high school, so he has great vision and ideas. "

Cai Wensheng was a little embarrassed. Wang Baoshan put the bowl and chopsticks into his hand and patted his arm gently.

"Okay, what an old thing, you are still young and in very good health. You still need to eat when you get home."

"Well, when I return to Ludao, I won't be busy. I will walk with you every day and read with Xiao Kai and Xiao Lin."

After Cai Wensheng finished speaking, he devoured his meal.

Since 2005, Cai Wensheng and his team moved from Ludao to Beijing in order to better get in touch with the forefront of the Internet.

Although the past few years have indeed added a lot of contacts to him, they have also allowed him to complete the process of wealth accumulation. In particular, his 265 domain name received a million-dollar investment from IDG, and was subsequently acquired by Google China with a large amount of money. He has achieved financial freedom. , transformed into an angel investor.

This is probably a habit engraved in the bones of the people of southern Fujian. Cai Wensheng is also very keen on supporting new people and discovering talents.

Last week, he posted a complaint on his blog about being criticized recently by his friends. Unexpectedly, a young fan with insightful opinions popped up.

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

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

"Knock knock knock"

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

"[Cpeak Xu] has been verified by your friend."

"Hmm"

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

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

"pizi: Hello, Xiao Xu, I am Cai Wensheng."

If the other party can find your blog comments, they should naturally be your fans.

"Cpeak Xu: Hello Brother Cai."

"Pizi: Okay, I'm very interested in your views on grassroots culture and grassroots economy that you left on my blog. Would it be convenient for us to have a discussion?"

"Cpeak Xu: Okay, why don't you call directly, 138xxxxxxx31."

This kid.

Cai Wensheng thinks this guy is quite good and has no stage fright at all.

When facing a successful business boss or elder, having the courage to communicate instantly on the phone means that he is very confident and mature in his views on these aspects.

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

"beep"

"Hello?"

The call was quickly picked up, and a boyish voice came from the receiver. He sounded young.

"Hello Brother Cai, I am Xu Qingshan."

Cai Wensheng's eyebrows stretched, and the young man seemed quite calm. "Good evening Xiao Xu, it won't take up your study time now, right?"

"If you can communicate with Brother Cai, it will be more valuable learning time than reading textbooks."

Xu Qingshan's answer surprised Cai Wensheng.

Are all young people today so good? Not only knowledgeable, but also a person who can speak well? Is this really 17 years old?
Cai Wensheng thought of his 17-year-old self
Forget it, if you don’t want to, it’s easy to want to go back and slap yourself twice.

"You kid, don't be so stupid. Are you really 17 years old this year? Are you in your senior year of high school?"

"If I promise, I will study in Longjiang. I just finished my half-month exam yesterday."

"Longjiang? Are you from southern Fujian?"

Cai Wensheng was a little surprised that this was his fellow countryman.

"Yes, from Yunzhang County, but now he is studying in the city."

"That Yunzhang who made fake cigarettes?"

"That Yunzhang who sells loquats."

Cai Wensheng's not very clever question was answered lightly by Xu Qingshan.

"Haha, I didn't mean that. It's my wife. Your sister-in-law is also from Yunzhang. It seems that we are all fellow villagers."

"Is that so? Then I will recognize Sister A better, and Brother Cai will become a brother-in-law."

In a few words, they had clearly never met each other, but they had a cordial conversation.

Cai Wensheng didn't feel that Xu Qingshan was offended or deliberately clinging to him. If he met a young child from his hometown outside the country and was capable, he would help him to some extent. What's more, in his opinion, Xu Qingshan was a potential stock.

"Hi, it's all good. We plan to move back to Ludao from the capital in a while. When you finish the exam, or you want to come to Ludao for vacation, give me a call at any time and I will drive to pick you up. "

Although there was no talk of business at all, Cai Wensheng had basically confirmed Xu Qingshan's ability.

He is well-spoken and well-controlled, so he is no ordinary child.

"That would be too troublesome for Brother Cai. When Brother Cai and you return to Ludao, I will visit you when I have the chance and bring some fresh Yunzhang loquats to Brother Cai and Sister A."

"Hey, don't be so polite, we are all our own people."

One big and one small, separated by thousands of miles, had such a seemingly meaningless chat, without mentioning any serious matters, but the relationship was settled superficially.

Xu Qingshan, who was sitting in his room, stood by the window and looked at the traffic downstairs. He also knew that it was time for him to put out some useful information for Cai Wensheng to see.

"Then I'm not welcome. Mainly because I saw Brother Cai's blog last weekend, which happened to be within the scope of my understanding, so I commented on it. Then I will briefly talk about it. If there is anything wrong, Brother Cai can help. Let me correct you."

"What's wrong? You are very powerful. 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 shot seriously when the status was not equal. He still had to have the proper attitude.

"From my own understanding, grassroots culture is actually popular culture and civilian culture, and grassroots economy is also the mass economy. Products that truly want to be successful must be able to gain a foothold among the masses."

"In 2007, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in my country was 13,786 yuan, the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 4,140 yuan, and the national per capita consumption expenditure was about 6,600 yuan."

"Our consumption model and economic model are different from those in the West. At this time, our national Internet penetration rate and per capita education level are not high enough. Therefore, if we engage in such vain elite culture, some people will pay for it, but it will not happen. The phenomenon of all people paying the bill, and what our grassroots economy needs to do is use the word 'all people'."

"Understand the maximization of the needs of the people, use the simplest and most direct functions and methods to meet the needs of the people, grasp the pain points of users, and firmly occupy the sinking market of society, only in this way can we create products for the people."

"Just like the difference between web games and online games, web games can be regarded as a sinking market for online games to a certain extent."

Xu Qingshan was right on target.

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

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

This can be seen from the fact that Meitu Group later found it difficult to monetize its empty traffic.

“Moreover, I think that one of the development directions of my country’s Internet in the future 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 the country. "

Xu Qingshan thought for a while and decided to release another ultimate move with greater stamina.

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