Chapter 126 Lighting up the lights of thousands of homes
People with more experience can actually tell by just hearing the name. Can the three words "Youth Daily" be used by ordinary units?
This is an official newspaper.
From a public perspective, the average person has little contact with this type of media, and the influence and spread of this publication seems not worth mentioning.
But among some specific groups, its significance is no small matter, because to some extent it can represent the official attitude.
This was not an opportunity that could be bought with just a little money. When Liu Jianni heard about it, she was afraid that he had no experience, so she specifically told him to take it seriously.
In short, Lin Yi did not have the same swaggering attitude towards the school newspaper before, but showed great sincerity and caution.
He originally planned to call his senior sister back together, and the three of them would participate in the interview together to show how much they valued this opportunity. However, he gave up the idea after communicating with the other party based on the contact information on the invitation letter.
Lin Yi returned to Sijiucheng again one day at the end of April. At this time, more than half a month had passed since he last returned to Beijing from Yangcheng.
After landing, he didn't go looking for anyone, but took a taxi directly to the agreed-upon interview location.
Lin Yi arrived quite early, so he waited there for a while, and then met another person who was going to be interviewed with him today.
This is Zhang Xuhao.
When Lin Yi learned this, he was still laughing at himself for overthinking. As expected, he and the cards under the casual takeout network were not qualified to be published in the "Youth Daily" alone.
Zhang Xuhao, like him, attaches great importance to today's interview. He is dressed neatly and meticulously, which is very different from the last time we met.
Lin Yi said hello: "When I received the interview letter, I was still thinking about bringing the other two partners with me. Later, they told me that I was with Mr. Zhang today."

Zhang Xuhao seemed to not want to keep quiet here, and simply responded: "It shows that our decision to join forces this time is very correct."
Indeed, the effect of this event has repeatedly exceeded Lin Yi's expectations, especially today's interview, which can only be said to be an unexpected gain.
After a few words of greeting, perhaps knowing that they were already here, a female reporter soon came out to entertain them. She looked to be in her thirties, her appearance was not outstanding but she had a rare intellectual temperament. After shaking hands with the two of them, she
Self introduction:
"My name is Wang Ke, and I will interview you two today."
Since they didn't need to be on camera, they didn't wear makeup. After Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao made introductions respectively, it officially started.
Female reporter Wang Ke said: "I'll call you Mark and Lin Yi. One of you was born in 1985 and the other was born in 1994. You are both very young."
Mark is the guy's English name.
Zhang Xuhao responded with a smile: "I originally thought I was very young, but when I saw him, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis."
Wang Ke said: "Let's talk in order of age. Mark, you are only 27 years old this year but you have been starting a business for several years. How did you come up with the idea of starting a business at that time?"
This is not the first time Zhang Xuhao has been interviewed, and this story has been told very well.
"Yes, that was in 2008. At that time, I was a graduate student at Minhang Jiaotong University. Several classmates and I, who were my later entrepreneurial partners, felt that the life of graduate school was not what we really wanted."
"The major of several of us is actually building energy conservation. When we wanted to start a business, of course we first considered this direction. But at that time, the industry had just started in China and was largely driven by resources rather than technology. We
I’m afraid a few young people won’t be able to play.”
"Later, it was a chance. The so-called basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, we thought that food is essential for everyone, so can we do something about it..."
Zhang Xuhao shared this story that he had told countless times. The female reporter listened and took simple notes.
In fact, Wang Ke had done his homework before the interview, and many of these materials were already prepared, so after listening, he naturally turned the topic to Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, you are only, wow, eighteen years old this year. It is such a nostalgic age. If I remember correctly, you are only in your first year of college. How did you come up with the idea of starting a business so early?"
Lin Yi knew that Wang Ke's question was not arbitrary but had a purpose. His reaction was just a little exaggerated, maybe he wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
What this link should ask about is "original intention."
"We are similar to Are You Hungry in many ways? For example, we are three people starting a business together. For example, we are not the kind of students who keep to themselves."
"Actually, I had the idea of starting a business very early and started preparing for it before I went to college, so it was not a temporary decision."
Wang Ke foreshadowed: "At that time, everyone should still be working hard for the college entrance examination. Are you already thinking about starting a business?"
"Just a thought."
Lin Yiwei boasted a few words about Linzhong: "Maybe I am lucky because my high school is not a very strict school. The principal has always told us that the college entrance examination is not the purpose of education, so I have room to do some free imagination."
"When I was in my senior year of high school, Apple's Gang Leader Qiao passed away. During that time, everyone was discussing this person very enthusiastically, and a classmate gave me a biography of Gang Leader Qiao."
Wang Ke asked Lin Yi more questions not because he was more interested, but because Lin Yi had not done any public interviews before, so he had less information.
"Then you came up with the idea of starting a business after reading Gang Leader Qiao's biography?"
Lin Yi knew that such a misunderstanding would arise: "Not entirely, because the biography is the original English version and is very thick. It is too difficult for me to read."
After this sentence made the other two people laugh, he continued: "Of course Gang Leader Qiao is a great person. To some extent, he has changed the world."
Wang Ke patiently continued to ask questions: "So are you planning to change the world like him in an underground garage in Silicon Valley?"
“It’s not just Silicon Valley that can change the world.”
He turned to Zhang Xuhao beside him: "Actually, there is no successful precedent for what we are doing now across the ocean."
Zhang Xuhao nodded in agreement.
Lin Yi continued: "Although Gang Leader Qiao himself and Apple are great, I have no intention of imitating them. Although Apple mobile phones are good in everything, they still have an important flaw."
He paused and said in the female reporter's doubtful eyes:
"That's expensive."
Wang Ke and Zhang Xuhao both laughed out loud. The former even put away his iPhone that was originally on the table. They knew that Lin Yi hadn't finished speaking yet.
"I never expect to become a company like Apple, because in my heart technology is not an expensive toy for a few people, but should come to every ordinary person and light up the lights of thousands of homes."
