At eight o'clock in the evening, Wei Chuyang boarded the plane to Jingbei. Due to the tight ticket sales, he had to buy a first-class cabin. This was Wei Chuyang's first time flying in a first-class cabin. In his opinion, there was not much difference between first class and economy class. In his previous life, he liked to save money and was used to it. When there was not much difference, he would save as much as he could.
He put away the cosmetics he had bought for his mother and his father's Armani suit. He looked around the first-class cabin. It was just a little more spacious. It was not so crowded. Other than being able to sleep a little more relaxed, there were no other advantages.
" Sigh, every time I go out, I'll either meet a man or an ordinary woman. Why can't I meet a beautiful woman?" Whether it was in his previous life or this life, Wei Chuyang had to admire his luck for this phenomenon. Every time he heard his friends and colleagues chatting about meeting a beautiful woman on a train, he would focus on the beautiful woman and never feel tired from the journey. There were also those who were good at picking up girls. After getting out of the car, they agreed to go to the hotel. Wei Chuyang didn't want to pick up girls, but at least he wanted to raise his spirits. Maybe he could brag to a beautiful girl, and that would be even better.
Looking at the middle-aged man leading the way, Wei Chuyang sighed.
" Hello," the middle-aged man greeted politely.
Wei Chuyang turned his head when he heard the voice beside his ear. He was stunned. He was just complaining that he couldn't meet a beauty. Now, he met someone more beautiful than a beauty. No, no, no, that was wrong. It was more meaningful than a beauty. "Hello, hello, you're Mr. Li Baidu, right?"”
The current Li Baidu looked to be around 32 or 33 years old, much younger than his actual age. His face was filled with a calm smile, and he exuded an elegant and scholarly temperament from the inside out, giving people a very comfortable feeling. He was definitely the face of the future Internet giant.
Well, her looks were not bad, but her temperament was the main thing. Among all the big shots in the business world, Scroll had the strongest temperament.
As the saying goes, looks are not enough to make up for temperament. One point of temperament is worth ten points of looks. Wei Chuyang agreed with this statement.
"Are you alone? Where are your companions? I didn't expect to meet you here, and I didn't expect to sit with you. What a pleasant surprise. Oh, no, it's a pleasant surprise.”Wei Chuyang said in surprise.
"Yes, it's just me. My companions have already returned to the country. I had some private matters here and was delayed for a few days. You look very young.”Li Baidu said with a smile.
Wei Chuyang knew that three months later, on the afternoon of August 5th, 2005, US Eastern Time, after Li Baidu took a group photo with investors, banks, and the listing team, they would start the closing ceremony of the stock market. At that moment, Baidu's closing price was set at 122.54 USD, and Baidu's market value was 3.958 billion USD. Based on the stock price of the day, Li Baidu's 22.9% stake made him worth more than 900 million US dollars. Later on, after going public, he directly cashed out more than 16 million US dollars and instantly became a real billionaire. It was cash.
This time, Li Baidu must have come to the United States for the side road before the listing. He chose the investment bank, goldman sachs, to be the underwriter for the listing. He was probably here to negotiate the contract.
" Ah, she's not young anymore. She's already 16 years old. She's going to university soon," Wei Chuyang said with a smile as he rubbed his nose.
" What a coincidence that you used that word. It seems like I'm too old." Li Baidu looked at the simple-minded Wei Chuyang in front of him. He had a feeling that he was already old. He couldn't keep up with the thoughts of a young man. He couldn't help but tease him.
"You are going to take the college entrance examination soon. Which university are you going to apply for? "I suggest that you apply for some universities in big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and other places. These big cities are changing with each passing day. It's easier to feel the advancement of the times and benefit from technological progress here.”
Although Li Baidu wasn't a person who liked socializing, he still suggested it when he saw the young man in front of him. As someone who came from the inland area, he was more touched by these things. Compared to the inland areas, these first-tier cities had incomparable things. Information updates were faster, talent and technology exchanges were more convenient, and the economy and technology were more developed. For young people, it was more important to have a concept, a thought, and a vision. Here, you could come into contact with everything you wanted.
"As for me, I want to apply for Kyokuboku University. I don't know if I can get in. No matter what the result is, I want to go to Kyokuboku. Like you said, whether it's economic development, talent gathering, or other technical strength, I want to start a business. It's easier to find like-minded technical talents in Kyokuboku. Regarding this venture, I've revised the proposal more than ten times."
Wei Chuyang was so excited that he couldn't hold the door open. He poured out the beans, not caring if the other party was willing to listen or not.
"Erm... I'm sorry. You want to start a business at such a young age. It's worth affirming that you want to start a business, but do you have a certain direction or goal?”
Li Baidu looked at Wei Chuyang in surprise. It wasn't surprising for a young man to have an idea of starting a business. After all, a person would have the idea of starting a business after seeing the success of others. However, a young man who had revised the proposal more than ten times was worthy of praise. Imagination and action were two completely different things. Even if he only took a little action, it was a huge difference.
Wei Chuyang had already thought about it long ago. After this patent application, he would create his own Bilin Network using the internal network. Based on his previous life's experience, he would strive to build his Bilin Network into a Social networks empire like Face.
"A bosom friend in the sea is like a neighbor in the far end of the world. I want to create a real-name social circle and name it Neighboring Network. The essence of Social networks was to connect nodes, so that people with unequal geographical and social status had equal opportunities to express themselves and obtain information.”
Wei Chuyang wasn't afraid that Li Baidu would start a new company and steal ideas. There was nothing to steal. There was already a case of " Must Die " in the US. Anyone who started an internet business would more or less know about it. One had to know that many of the ancestors of the domestic internet companies came from the US. Those who really wanted to make a name for themselves in this industry would definitely study what was there to steal.
Besides, now that Baidu was busy going public and trying to improve its performance so that the stock price would rise and investors could get more returns, how could they have the leisure to engage in social networking under Teng Xun's nose? There was still Google eyeing their search engine. They had not done a lot of things well yet, so how could they go and make Teng Xun unhappy? Distraction? Even if Li Baidu was willing to intercept Wei Chuyang's idea, the board of directors might not approve it.
Wei Chuyang had read about Baidu in his previous life. At this time, Baidu was still quite focused on its search engine. In other words, internet companies were quite professional. They focused on their own business development. Later on, other internet companies were influenced by Teng Xun. Only then did companies like Baidu and Sohu learn from Teng Xun and develop into a full-service business.
Of course, Wei Chuyang wasn't an idiot. He would only say things based on his character. If it was someone who wanted to start a business but hadn't thought of what to do, Wei Chuyang wouldn't say anything even if he was beaten to death.
Wei Chuyang took a sip of water and continued," I'm a student. I know students the best. For a student, it's the easiest for them to accept new things. They're also the most curious. They're also the most easily influenced by their classmates. "I want to start from the school and introduce every university and high school student into my network. This way, the possibility of success will be greater and it will be easier to promote. After all, the students are all in school and are more concentrated."
Li Baidu listened to Wei Chuyang's explanation and nodded in agreement.""Starting from the school, your entry point is very good. It's just like the new Face in America. At the moment, it's not bad to die. There's no such model in the country yet.”
During this period of time in the US, he happened to know of such a company that had just received 12.7 million US dollars in venture capital from Accurpartners.
"Yes, I just want to make a platform similar to Face, but I want to be more open than Face. I want to start from schools and slowly expand it to people from all walks of life. After all, he was still a student. There would be a day when he graduated, a day when he left school, and a day when he stepped into society. From a small market segment, we can use this as a base point to promote it to the entire network."
In his previous life, Renren's predecessor was Xiaonei. In the beginning, Xiaonei was a niche market. Its target users were students on campus, mainly university students. However, there was no possibility of extending the product at this time. Students would graduate, enter society, and need a new platform after work, and a new platform meant leaving.
Xiaonei obviously realized the seriousness of this problem, so in order to have a broader user market, it changed its name to Renren. Unfortunately, Renren didn't become a strong social platform like QQ or WeChat. In the end, it was difficult to expand a platform with weak social attributes.
Thinking of this, Wei Chuyang continued,"" My vision of the neighboring network will follow the development of users and strengthen the social concept of professionals. This way, no matter who you are or what your profession is, you can find what you want to play and what you want here."

Finally, some people say that it's toxic to share ideas. I think that if you treat the other party as an investor, then that's another matter. As for whether Baidu will plagiarize, if you have doubts, go and read their biographies. If you were Li Baidu, your company was about to go public and faced the invasion of the international giant Google, would you start another battlefield? Teng Xun is already a social media giant in the country. If you agree, will your board of directors agree? Even if you agree, do you think you can defeat Teng Xun if you are not reborn?
It was not easy for a big company to set up a project. It was a mess from beginning to end. How long did Teng Xun spend preparing for the auction? Think about it.
