Chapter 225 Entrepreneurial Talent
Xiao Wang stayed in Beijing, dealing with investors from Kuaishou and Qihoo 360, and time passed quickly into the midsummer of July.

The temperature is high during the Lesser Heat season, and the entire online live streaming market is hot.

Chen Youyou, CEO of Zhanqi live streaming platform under the listed state-owned enterprise Zhejiang Daily Group, publicly accepted an interview with the media, and said proudly and aggrievedly that she would not participate in malicious competition of the nature of draining the market.

The fact that some of their peers spend high prices to poach people from their platforms clearly proves their ability to cultivate high-quality anchors over the long term.

Next, she will lead Zhanqi to fight a defensive battle and push the entire market towards the goal of long-term healthy development.

Well-known investor Zhu Xiaohu publicly commented that Zhanqi had better be separated from Zhejiang Daily Group as soon as possible to obtain independent financing opportunities, otherwise it will most likely be directly crushed by a certain "young marshal" and her defensive dreams will be shattered in one round.

Wu Youyou quickly posted on WeChat Moments to explain that she had no intention of making a sarcastic remark about Mr. Xie, and that those who took her words out of context and were sarcastic should stay away from it.

At the same time, Tiange Interactive, the parent company of the first domestic live broadcast platform '9158', went to Hong Kong to ring the bell for its listing. Thanks to the record-breaking impact of Xie Jingxing's live broadcast, the stock price rose by 30% on the first day of listing.

The Huomao live streaming platform followed suit and launched pre-promotion, announcing that it would be launched online in October this year.

Those seeking independent financing, those listed, and those not yet online, all kinds of monsters and demons took the initiative to jump on the vent created by Xie Jingxing and show off their talents.

Of course, there were some that only had a PPT. In just a few days, he received hundreds of online live streaming business plans.

"Who can predict the future market trend?" He deleted hundreds of unread emails with a click of the mouse.

Dozens of entrepreneurial camp students in the classroom felt varying degrees of emotion as they watched their entrepreneurial plans being easily swept into the trash can.

Hu Weiwei was the first to raise her hand: "Fierce competition."

"Brutal expansion."

Cui A Liu crossed his arms and felt it even more deeply. The milk tea industry had just experienced the plasticizer incident a few years ago, which was a typical case of an emerging industry developing from the early stage to the middle stage.

The influx of hot money and capital has driven the market to develop abnormally, tearing and deforming economic laws into chaos and disorder. Many outrageous and absurd industry accidents that seem like ghosts at first glance often occur at this stage.

“Anyone else have a different view?”

Xie Jingxing looked around the room, his calm tone echoing in the classroom: "Yes, it is barbaric, even bloody. Whether it is Panda TV, Douyu Live, or Huya Live, they will all shed a layer of skin in the upcoming competition, and evolve into dragons or fail and die. So if these speculative entrepreneurs who chase hot spots try to block me offline to lobby for their entrepreneurial plans, I am still interested in listening."

"Just sending one email is rubbish, because they don't have the courage and execution to deal with bloody competition. In the future, you will enter a stage of rapid development in the subdivided fields of entrepreneurial projects. You must have psychological expectations and accept competition from beyond your cognition. I believe that courage and execution are the best weapons for entrepreneurs to deal with unknown risks."

He paused for a moment and shrugged helplessly: "This is the last lesson I taught you. Although in fact I was not able to give you much practical help, I still want to say congratulations, you have graduated."

Hu Weiwei took the lead in standing up, and warm applause broke out in the classroom.

The three-month first entrepreneurship camp of Shanghai Jiao Tong University has come to an end. Xie Jingxing almost missed all the courses in May and June, but dozens of students still regard him as their most beloved teacher.

If it is possible, I would even be willing to call him master. In addition to his exaggerated influence in the venture capital circle, this master's ability is really too outrageous.

Venture capital, when broken down, is nothing more than entrepreneurship and venture capital. So when a venture capitalist is able to create an entrepreneurial hotspot, how should the boundaries and relationships between entrepreneurship and investment be defined?

At the graduation luncheon held by Jiaotong University, many students shed tears with reluctance to leave. Xie Jingxing rarely refused toasts from the founders, one by one.

He also told Tang Man and Su He on the spot that in the future, he must personally review the investment decisions for business BPs received by Xiyou and Taihe from students of the first phase of the entrepreneurship camp, and he would be personally responsible for the post-investment management of the projects that had already been invested in.

"Mr. Xie, let me introduce you. This is Academician Yin Hui, the dean of the School of Life Sciences of our university."

Halfway through the banquet, Xie Jingxing was stopped by the leader of the Finance Research Institute of Jiaotong University just as he came out of the toilet. Standing next to him was an old gentleman with white hair, elegant temperament and a face of about 60 years old.

However, according to the title of academician, he should be considered a middle-aged person in the prime of life.

He politely extended his hand and said hello: "Hello, Academician Yin, I am sorry for the rudeness on our first meeting."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie. I am sorry to come to visit you today because I have something to discuss with you... I wonder if I can take a few minutes of your time?" Academician Yin Hui said in an earnest tone.

"Okay, then please lend me a step so we can talk somewhere quieter."

As soon as Xie Jingxing finished speaking, Song Anli stood up without hesitation and was about to say something, but was interrupted by him waving his hand slightly.

Academician Yin Hui glanced at the female assistant who was smiling apologetically, and his heart sank slightly. He simply said, "No trouble, let's talk about it here. Mr. Xie, do you know Dr. Yu Tong from Georgetown University in the United States?"

"She is my fiancée." Xie Jingxing nodded ambiguously.

"The biomedical sub-field that Dr. Yu Tong is engaged in is completely undeveloped in China. Her visit to Zhejiang University and Fudan University last month caused quite a stir in the academic community."

Academician Yin Hui raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled with relief and explained, "To be honest, everyone is surprised that she chose to return to China to continue her research. We also heard rumors that you are interested in donating a supporting laboratory free of charge."

The implication is that it is not a good choice for Yu Tong to return to China. His free donation is even more abnormal, and it can only be explained by their relationship as a couple.

"I respect my fiancée's choice very much. No matter how she plans her academic career, I will support her." Xie Jingxing exhaled the alcohol.

Academician Yin Hui and the head of the Institute of Finance looked at each other and decisively put forward all the conditions in one breath: "If Dr. Yu comes to work at our school, we won't discuss titles such as doctoral supervisor and professor. We can strive for the title of Outstanding Youth and Evergreen, and we can discuss national-level, senior official, and municipal funds. It is not a problem to work steadily for three to five years and produce results, and the title of academic leader is not a problem. The most important thing is the laboratory and the project, and we will give Dr. Yu the greatest autonomy."

"Mr. Xie, let me say something. The series of cooperation between Xiyou and our school is obvious to all. We at Jiaotong University believe in the spirit of hard work and never play tricks. You know what the academic environment is like!"

The leader of the Institute of Finance aimed his gun at Fudan and fired fiercely. It was not his intentional slander. Zhejiang/Fudan has been quite impetuous in recent years, and he doesn't know how to show off after making some money with the help of big companies like Alibaba.

"How about this, my fiancée will probably return to China at the end of next month, and then I will bring her to visit Academician Yin."

Xie Jingxing unconsciously smiled with pride, and once again extended his hand to express his sincere gratitude: "Thank you especially for your recognition."

Song Anli tried to remind him quietly about the subsequent itinerary, but was not interrupted this time.

Academician Yin Hui and the leaders of the Institute of Finance watched the two men leave in a hurry, and could only sigh helplessly that they were really busy and popular people.

In fact, only a small part of the scientific research funds of universities are allocated by the national finance vertically, and the rest mostly comes from profits handed over by schools and enterprises, horizontal cooperation with enterprises, and some donations from alumni.

Jiaotong University recently wanted to set up a national biological cell gene laboratory. Dr. Yu happened to return to China with cutting-edge academic research and was said to have a huge corporate horizontal donation budget of 3 million yuan.

The 3 million yuan is equivalent to one-third of the national fiscal year's appropriation, which is a heavyweight even for Peking University and Tsinghua University. The relationship between capital and technology is quite counterintuitive. Technology is a tool to serve capital, but most technological innovations can better serve capital.

In short, the public sees that companies spend huge amounts of money on scientific research not just to change the world. Capital like Xie Jingxing's, which donated 3 million yuan without asking for anything in return, is enough to make scientists around the world bow down.

Academician Yin Hui said he would fight for it no matter what, and was mentally prepared to be coldly treated even if he personally stepped forward to recruit.

I heard that Zhejiang Province is joining hands with Alibaba to set up a university and invited Shi Yigong to return to be the academic leader of life sciences; Fudan University is also busy and is planning to establish a master's program in biomedical sciences.

His competitors are all very strong, so all he can do is to save face and do his best. That's all.

The leaders of the Institute of Finance felt very uncomfortable when they saw Academician Yin Hui's helpless expression.

Half a year ago, he could still get Xie Jingxing drunk at the wine table, but now, there are 1700 academicians in the country, and the academic research of each academician is sacred.

But there are only ten people in the top ten of the domestic rich list, and each of them can support many academicians to carry out sacred scientific research. Being able to chat politely during the banquet is a courtesy, and it is not really a cold reception.

If Xie Jingxing's business talent were applied to the field of scientific research, he would probably be considered outstanding... At least he has left his name in the textbooks of finance majors at domestic universities...

The head of the Institute of Finance sighed deeply, comforted Academician Yin Hui as he left, and secretly wondered whether he could use the "industry-research-learning" trick to increase his competitiveness.

After all, Jiaotong University is quite strong in science and engineering. If it can transform scientific research results into commercial value, it will be very impressive.

…………

"Mr. Xie is drunk?"

Xie Jingxing took the elevator upstairs from the banquet hall and returned to the hotel suite. Cui Aliu and Hu Weiwei had been waiting for a long time. They couldn't hide their curiosity and tried to test him without thinking.

He wiped his face with a cold towel and drank some water to rinse his mouth to regain consciousness: "People always have special feelings about the first time. What's the point of making a fuss? Don't you guys have special feelings about the first time?"

"..."

Cui A Liu was speechless, thinking that it was really not worth making a fuss about your sincere feelings for once.

Hu Weiwei blushed slightly because she had little contact with him, and was deeply grateful for the general's closeness to the students of the first entrepreneurship camp. As expected, they drank a lot and even drove on the highway.

Suddenly, she inexplicably disliked Cui Aliu and Song Anli, as they were getting in the way and affecting her in-depth communication work.

"You two come together."

Xie Jingxing took the laptop from Song Anli and blurted out a tiger-like word.

Hu Weiwei and Cui Aliu became a pair of resentful women through the entrepreneurial camp, both of them suffering from his abandonment after having sex with her and refusing to admit it. He sent emails every two or three days to urge them to complete the project, and today he satisfied them all at once.

Xie Jingxing made up his mind and let the two fake sisters who didn't want to expose their secrets in front of each other be humble for a moment, and naturally took the initiative to start the conversation: "Hu Weiwei, how is the product design?"

"We have found a product designer, Wang Chao. He graduated from the School of Automotive Engineering of Jilin University. He has worked in product design at Beijing Jeep and BJ Mercedes-Benz. He is currently starting his own business in the research and development of new energy vehicles. He joined Mobike part-time and is responsible for the product development team."

Hu Weiwei sat up straight and introduced slowly in a slightly thick Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "We are currently solving the problem of network positioning of shared bicycle smart locks. If everything goes well, we will enter the mass production process in September."

"As soon as possible, similar competitors will appear on the Peking University campus." Xie Jingxing was quite satisfied and simply changed the subject.

"I will go back to Beijing next week to conduct research."

Hu Weiwei agreed readily, and then complained: "One of our biggest problems now is that the map positioning function of smart locks after networking is difficult to solve. The cost of drawing maps is too high, and it is difficult to guarantee data security when cooperating with third-party map navigation companies such as AutoNavi."

"We can seek cooperation with Didi, or let them invest in it if it doesn't work. The competition between Didi and Uber will become fierce, and the scope of competition will spread to derivative links. Mobike is positioned to connect to the last mile of online car-hailing transportation."

Xie Jingxing was well prepared. Mobike's map requirements include deposits, mobile payment ports and other functions. The map navigation market is divided up by the three BTA companies. If they want to cooperate, they will inevitably fall into the Internet team-up plot.

To this day, he has a vague understanding that Didi, Meituan, and Pinduoduo took advantage of the mobile Internet to explode the three BTA companies, and this was inseparable from the support of numerous professional venture capitals.

People all over the world have suffered from BTA for a long time. If you want to make some money, you have to please them, which makes you like beggars.

"I'll talk to Li Bin later. He wants to meet with you." Hu Weiwei was a beat slow to react.

Xie Jing Xing did not comment and turned his gaze from the computer screen to her, looking her up and down carefully, until she lowered her head and raised her hand to tie her hair, then he replied lightly with "Okay".

To some extent, this woman's entrepreneurial talent is several levels higher than Cui Aliu's.

When he first proposed the shared bicycle project two months ago, there was a male bicycle product entrepreneur named Chen Tengjiao next to Hu Weiwei.

The latter gave up his own entrepreneurial project and joined Mobike to help design the first version of the sample, but no one knew what happened. He ran away after a few days, saying that he wanted to continue his own entrepreneurial project.

Xie Jingxing originally thought that it would take some time for Hu Weiwei to reorganize the product design team, but Wang Chao quickly took over as a replacement. It was obvious from his resume that he was also a talented product designer.

In addition, there is no need to say much about Li Bin. He is a veteran in the automotive industry and has been working in the business world for many years. His Yiche.com successfully listed on the US stock market a few years ago, becoming the first domestic automotive Internet company to be listed overseas.

The new energy vehicle "NIO" belongs to him, and the video of his wife getting slapped in the face by Milk Tea Sister at the product launch conference was even a hot topic.

Recently, he has been helping the founding team of Mobike with management issues such as equity structure allocation, and now he even wants to invest in it.

Of course, it depends on whether Xie Jingxing is willing or not. Milk Tea Sister can slap Madam Li in the face, so if he is unwilling to give Mr. Li a big slap in the face, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

In summary, if Hu Weiwei can't handle management, she will ask Li Bin; if there is difficulty in product design, she will ask Wang Chao; if she needs money or resources, she will ask him.

Such entrepreneurial talent is simply beyond the norm. Compared with Cui Aliu's talent, which even Dr. Wang and the rich second generation Peng Chuanming can't understand, he is like a kindergarten kid.

But judging from appearance, Xiao Cui is obviously much prettier.

Xie Jing couldn't help but look at Cui Aliu, wondering if he was really face-blind...
