In the room.

Li Dong met Wang Xin seriously for the first time.

He is very young. Outsiders say that Li Dong is not so young, but Wang Xin is actually not very old.

Wang Xin, who is less than 30 years old this year, founded the campus network five years ago, which caused the sns website craze that year.

Five years ago, Wang Xin was only 24 years old, and many people were still dependent on their parents at the age of 24.

In five years, Wang Xin stumbled and said he had made money and made some money. At the end of 2006, he sold the school network and received 2 million US dollars.

However, this money is not all his. If he splits some of it, he will only have a few million yuan left.

In the past two years, he has invested in creating some websites and has also made a living last year, so the money has been spent long ago.

At this time, Wang Xin was poor and miserable.

When Li Dong looked at Wang Xin, Wang Xin was also looking at Li Dong.

He attended the Internet Conference and saw Li Dong's domineering aura. When he saw Li Dong's words, he was silent everywhere.

I also saw that Li Donggai was overwhelming all the bigwigs in the IT industry and chatted with the ministers and mayors.

Wang Xin was jealous in his heart.

Li Dong, only 23 years old!

At the age of 24, he founded the campus network, and at the age of 25, he went to find VC financing with passion.

As a result, the most common sentence he received was: "You are too young, how can we trust you?"

Or: "If you are Zhou Hongyi, what will happen in the future? We believe you and can raise funds. You are not, sorry!"

Once, for the sake of $1 million in financing, he asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother and even was willing to give up the dominance of the school network.

However, the result was frustrating, and no one paid attention to him.

Because, he is too young!

Once, he thought he was too young, so others didn’t trust him. Once, he thought that it was really difficult for young people to start a business, even if you have unlimited abilities.

But when Wang Xin knew about Li Dong's existence, he was desperate. It turned out that being young was just an excuse.

How old is Li Dong?

Last year, his Far-Far-Field Technology wanted to raise funds, and vc/pe institutions around the world flocked!

$1 billion?

Sorry, Li Dong ignored you, as far as you can get as far away as you can.

$2 billion?

Keep getting out!

Even in the end, Li Dong offered a sky-high price of 40 billion yuan. In this way, people are still moved!

At that time, Li Dong was 22 years old.

And he, 25 years old, was looking for $1 million in financing, but he was almost kowtowed and no one paid attention to him. Is it really because of his age?

Wang Xin once envied, jealous, and resentful. However, when he really saw Li Dong, Wang Xin's emotions gradually dissipated.

Age is not an excuse.

Whether Li Dong is lucky, lucky, or strong connections, Li Dong is essentially not a deeper foundation than him.

Li Dong was born into a vendor family and started from scratch. Before entering the Internet field, he laid a strong industrial foundation. Wang Xin believed that he could not do this.

After all, his family is wealthy, so he was admitted to Aoki University and was admitted to the United States to study for a doctorate.

At least in the root of the matter, he is luckier than Li Dong.

At the age of his life, he is older than Li Dong. In any case, if he loses, he will lose. It is difficult to make excuses that others are lucky than himself. That is a manifestation of the weak and the incompetent.

The two sides looked at each other for a while and waited for Bai Su to serve tea.

Li Dong took a sip and smiled lightly: "What do you think about the school network financing of US$430 million in April?"

Wang Xin's mouth twitched, and everyone said that Li Dong liked to slap in the face, sure enough!

At the end of 2006, he sold the school network for US$2 million, and Qianyou took over. In more than a year, he turned to raise more than 400 million US dollars, with nearly 3 billion yuan!

The gap between them is enough to make many people desperate and heartbroken, wishing to jump off the building and commit suicide.

This is also his pain for Wang Xin. Now that Li Dong has revealed it, Wang Xin's heart twitched for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Envy, jealousy, and regretful, all have been!

However, in the end I understood one truth, it was that I was not strong enough!

If I were strong enough, there wouldn’t be news of Thousand Oaks Financing today.”

Li Dong smiled, and did not continue the topic, and said, "Then what is your purpose in finding me?"

"I want to go to Weibo for an internship for a few months."

Li Dong was a little confused, and after a while he laughed, "It's interesting, are you doing it for the sake of your income?"

"Yes, Fanbu is strictly speaking, it is not the first self-media social website in China, but it is the most complete and closest to Twitter, and the most suitable self-media platform for domestic people.

I always think whether the meal will succeed will attract trends.

But in the end I found that I still failed.

When Yuanfang Weibo was launched, Fanbu was powerless and collapsed instantly. I was very disappointed and it was difficult to accept this.

When Yuanfang Weibo became popular and several Sina companies followed suit, I felt that I still have hope.

What Fanfu said has laid the foundation.

I think that if I find a financing partner at this time, I can still compete with the distance and compete with other Weibo posts.

But all the VC institutions rejected me, and they told me that they didn’t want to lose money or lose all their money.

Because Yuanfang Weibo is currently the Weibo with the largest market share, the largest users and the largest number of information sent, Fanfu does not have any competitiveness.

I don't understand why they have this idea?

In terms of basics, Fan is no worse than Weibo.

Of course, it’s not just for the sake of fanfare, but also for my personal future.”

Li Dong laughed again and couldn't help but say, "Are you serious?"

Wang Xin nodded seriously and continued, "That's why I want to go to the distance and experience it in a real way.

I even had the idea to quietly apply for a job on Weibo as a loser. I want to see where the gap is.

I don't think it's a problem of function, it may be conceptual, management, concept and future that will make Fanfou defeated.

But I thought about it for a long time and went to Weibo as an ordinary employee. What I saw might not be so real or so real.

That's why I hope to enter the remote Weibo through Mr. Li.

Of course, I know that this requirement is too much, but I can sign an agreement. After coming out of the distance, I will no longer operate a self-media platform, nor will I compete with the distance."

Li Dong was speechless and laughed and cried: "You came to me for this?"

Wang Xin smiled and said, "Of course, in addition to this, I really want to see Mr. Li for a while.

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 be in my thirty years.

But I am a little confused now. I have communicated with many people, including Mr. Chen from Qianyou, Mr. Zhou from Qihoo, and even Mr. Ma from Tencent.

However, they always tell me that you are still young and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

Several seniors praised me and said that I did a good job, but it was because of my youth and lack of luck that caused the current situation.

At the beginning, I also regarded youth as a truth and an excuse.

But when I knew Mr. Li’s existence, I felt that I was really a failure, and being young is not an excuse for failure.

In the year-on-year situation, I have no intention of seeing these seniors from Baidu, Alibaba, or Sina.

I really want to talk to Mr. Li, what else am I missing that will make me fail again and again?”

Li Dong wanted to laugh very much. This was the first time. Someone came to consult himself with a serious and expectant attitude. Why did he fail?

How far is he from success?

Li Dong’s attitude towards life and what is the secret to success?

If it were ordinary people, Li Dong would definitely not bother to take care of it.

But Wang Xin is also a top talent in the industry. No matter whether he can gather it or not, he can't say nothing.

Li Dong pondered for a moment, and then smiled after a while, "The question Mr. Wang asked is actually quite profound. If you change me, I will definitely talk to him about the philosophical issues of life.

Of course, I am young myself. If I really want to say this, it might be a joke if it spreads.

I won’t talk about the philosophy of life, and it’s boring to pretend to be deep.
