Although he foresaw the possible financial crisis, Lin Yi did not stop the pace of expansion while preparing to participate in the entrepreneurship competition.
In December, the temperature in Beijing had dropped to below zero, and the evil wind was raging and freezing to the bone. Lin Yi braved such weather and came to Jiangshan University for the second time.
He opened the door curtain, which was as thick as a quilt, and after entering the room, he felt that the cold was finally blocked outside. He shrank back and shook his feet.
Of course, Lin Yi didn't come to Zhang Jiaqi to reminisce about the past, but after taking over Xueyuan Road, their next target was several colleges and universities around Weigong Village. He chose Jiang University as the first stop here.
Zhang Jiaqi's habits are very bourgeois. She made an appointment to meet him in a cafe and generously ordered him a cappuccino.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't like to drink this stuff at all, but after all, he was looking for help, so he accepted it without any nonsense, at least he could hold it and warm his hands.
"When I came in just now, I saw that your school's gymnasium has a very strange shape," he said casually.
Zhang Jiaqi laughed: "You want to say that it looks like a coffin. I didn't know it at first, but later they told me that the homophone of this is to get promoted and get rich."
The end of architecture is actually metaphysics.
"This winter in Beijing is so outrageous. This is the first time I have experienced what it feels like to literally have your face frozen."
Zhang Jiaqi, who also comes from the Jiangnan water town, agreed: "It's so dry in winter, and do you think the air quality in Beijing is so bad? Many mornings when I open the curtains, I see yellow outside. My nose has been feeling bad lately.
Comfortable."
If she didn't mention this, Lin Yi would almost forget about it.
Although the female reporter named Chai has not produced the famous "Under the Dome" yet, the air quality in Beijing has indeed been the worst during Lin Yi's and his college years. This is also the reason why he is unwilling to stay in Beijing after graduation.
one.
But later, when he went to the capital for a business trip in the winter, he found that there had been significant improvement, and he couldn't help feeling that he had not come across a good time.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Jiaqi began to ask: "I didn't expect Boss Lin to come so quickly. It seems that it has only been a month since I helped you get Yang Zitong from the National Normal University last time, right? I thought I needed to wait a little longer.
You’ve been there for a while.”
Lin Yi put down the cup: "One month is not too fast anymore. Attorney Zhang may only be attending classes at school this month, but I ran back and forth on Xueyuan Road so many times this month that I almost broke my leg.
Already."
Zhang Jiaqi felt that this guy was being lazy on the inside, so he asked: "Then why don't you take a break and just come to us again without stopping?"
Lin Yi happened to mention the business of coming today: "I don't have that fate. Besides, haven't I already reported that I would come to Jiang University to ask for your help? Why don't you come over and pay homage to me right now?"
This attitude was quite correct, so Zhang Jiaqi reluctantly ignored his previous "offense" and began to ask seriously what he needed her to do.
In fact, it is no different from before. The secret to the rapid expansion of Internet companies lies in standardization and replicability, so Lin Yi is already familiar with this routine.
With the help of Zhang Jiaqi, Lin Yi's arrangement in Jiangda went smoothly. Whether it was for Gu Caiwei's sake or not, she did her best and enjoyed herself well in the school. It seemed that she had not been in vain in the past few months.
So three days later, the casual takeaway website was successfully launched in Jiangda, and this woman was indispensable.
She even placed an order specifically, not knowing whether it was to support Lin Yi's business or to inspect his entrepreneurial project. After finishing the order, she shared her experience: "I think it's pretty good, and it's easier to use than other takeout websites."
“Thank you, Attorney Zhang, for your favorable comments!”
Zhang Jiaqi is indeed very interested in this matter: "Your website has now covered more than a dozen schools, so how many people do you have under your command?"
There was no need to hide it from her, so Lin Yi told the truth: "The core team is six, not seven. But if we count all the part-time delivery people on the periphery, the number has already exceeded 100."
"The scene is quite big!"
Zhang Jiaqi may have been inspired by her career ambitions, so she eagerly said, "If you have any legal matters to deal with, you can entrust it to me."
This guy has been in college for less than a semester, and probably hasn't even finished the basic professional courses yet. She wants to officially start working. I don't know whether to praise her for being brave or for being whimsical.
What's more, you don't even have a practicing certificate!
Although Lin Yi complained in her heart, at least she had just helped, so she just said tactfully: "We are still a small workshop now, and there are no serious legal matters that need to be dealt with."
Of course, the two of them inevitably talked about Gu Caiwei in the end. She had a heavy training workload recently and kept complaining on the phone.
Zhang Jiaqi scolded him: "You don't even know how to go see her!"
Lin Yi really wanted to do it, but he really didn't have the resources to do it. Long-distance relationships were so inconvenient, and depending on the situation, it would be difficult for him to find time in December.
He did not delay at Zhang Jiaqi's place. After finishing the promotion of Jiang University, he began to scan other surrounding universities one by one.
The one with the shortest distance from Jiangnan University is Beijing Institute of Technology, followed by Beijing Foreign Studies University, which Li Jianguo had been thinking about before, and the National University of China, which is farther away.
Lin Yi designated the strategy plan in this order. This time he was not alone. As before, he and his senior sister acted separately.
Soon their goals became the two mountains farther north, the well-known top 2 universities in the country.
When Lin Yi went to T University, he deliberately took a detour and passed by a very special community, located in the famous Wudaokou. It may be unremarkable in the eyes of outsiders, but it is famous among insiders.
It's called Huaqing Jiayuan.
The housing prices in this community have increased thirty-fold in twenty years, but this is only the most insignificant part of the story about it.
Just as Lin'an's lakeside home is famous for Majek, Huaqing Garden also relied on its unique geographical location close to T University and Zhongguancun, and became the den where later Internet bosses settled before they reached the pinnacle of their lives.
So some people say it is the Jerusalem of the IT world.
Of course, Lin Yi couldn't say that he was here for a pilgrimage, but when he passed by, he did think of the stories that had happened here, such as Wu Shichun from Cool News, Su Hua and Cheng Yixiao from Kuaishou, and Zhang Yiming before ByteDance started beating.
And, at some point in the future, Lin Yi may meet a Hokkien named Wang.
He used to be an old resident here. During the years when he started his business, he stayed in Room 1806 in Building 20, Room 2102 in Building 13 and Room 805 in Building 13.
But he shouldn't be here now.
After all, Lin Yi was not from T University, so he had no feelings for this place. After taking a quick look, he had to go about his business.
As he and his senior sister went further and further, the situation where the funds had been predicted to bottom out was getting closer and closer.
Fortunately, the entrepreneurship competition that Li Feifei signed up for them finally started as scheduled.
