"Dudu" the mobile phone rang, Zhang Yida took it and took a look. There was new news in the WeChat group "Jingcheng University Football Team", the kind of all Aite members. The content was "At 8 o'clock in the evening, Nantianmen hot pot dinner, please be informed,
Please reply if you receive it!”
After Zhang Yida replied "received", he saw that the time was already 7:30, put away his mobile phone, changed into casual clothes, fixed his hair style in the mirror, said hello to Li Xu and went out.
Because Nantianmen Hot Pot Restaurant is not far from the entrance of Beijing University, nearly two kilometers away, it was already 7:50 by the time Zhang Yida walked to the store.
The store is not big, but the business is quite booming. Under the guidance of the store clerk, I found some friends from the football team. There were more than 20 people in total, and they sat at three tables in the lobby.
"Yida, come and sit next to me. I want to have a drink with you today. You are the great contributor to our competition."
The speaker was tall and thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looked very elegant. At this moment, he stood up and called Zhang Yida over.
"Roger that, Sir Yang"
Zhang Yida saluted and said.
"Hahahahaha"
The whole hall laughed.
A little joke was made, and everyone started chatting about it.
The person I greeted Zhang Yida was Lin Zhenyang, a senior majoring in financial mathematics. He is currently the school football captain and concurrently serves as the vice chairman of the Peking University Student Union. He is relatively friendly and very popular among students.
After sitting down next to Lin Zhenyang.
"The injury doesn't matter, take some time and go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. Be careful and you're not making any big mistakes!"
Lin Zhenyang said with concern.
"Yes, yes, you fainted this afternoon and gave us a big shock."
"Go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination!"
Others also expressed concern.
Although we have only known each other for less than half a month and have only played a few games together, everyone still prefers Zhang Yida, who has excellent football skills and good character.
"Okay. Thank you all for your concern! I will go for a full body check-up tomorrow!"
Zhang Yida cupped his fists and made a circle of compliments to express his gratitude.
The students on the Beijing University football team come from all over the world, so in order to cater to everyone's taste, the hot pot is a mandarin duck pot, half red soup and half clear soup.
Dishes like tripe, duck intestines, duck blood, beef, and county liver were laid out one after another.
Zhang Yida skillfully put the vegetables into the pot and heated them up. They were all served in a red pot. People in Sichuan eat spicy food, and he was no exception.
The hot pot is fragrant and filled with heat.
Lin Zhenyang picked up the ice-cold beer and poured himself a full glass. He raised his glass and asked the students at his table and the two tables next to him to stand up and toast Zhang Yida together.
He opened his mouth and said: "This is the first cup for all of us. We all respect Zhang Yida. We are so happy to win this game. He has made the greatest contribution and won honors for the team and the school!"
"Here, let's do it"
After saying that, there was a "bang" sound, and he clinked glasses with Zhang Yida, and then drank the wine in one breath.
Then other teammates came to toast one after another, and the atmosphere was lively. The sound of clinking glasses "bang bang bang bang" didn't stop. One glass after another, Zhang Yida drank ten or twenty glasses in a row, and he started to hiccup after drinking.
After a lap, my stomach felt terribly bloated, so I hurriedly peeed.
After returning to the lobby after the convenience, I saw everyone drinking and punching in groups, bragging and chatting.
After returning to his seat, he gave Lin Zhenyang a drink in return.
I remembered that Lin Zhenyang was from the Department of Financial Mathematics, and he was the vice chairman of the student union. Several big guys also graduated from this department. So he asked:
"Senior Brother Lin, do you know these two senior brothers, Tang Lin and Yang Yihu?"
"Our department? Which class?"
Lin Zhenyang lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering.
"Tang Lin, who must have been in the 1990s, went to Wall Street after graduation. He returned to China in 2000 to become an angel investor. The company he founded is called CreditEase, which is engaged in wealth management."
"Yang Yihu should be in his 00s. He has a company called Renren Youxin, which is in the field of mutual funds."
"These two people are from your department, even though they have graduated many years ago. I think Brother Yang has a lot of connections in the school, so help me find out. It would be better if I can get my contact information! I will treat you to a drink then!"
Zhang Yida said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, they are all seniors who have graduated for many years! I wonder why I have no impression of these two names!"
"Okay, no problem. I'll ask someone to check the alumni association directory for you to see if I can get the contact information! I can only say that I'll try my best, but I don't dare to give you a 100% guarantee!"
Lin Zhenyang replied.
"Thank you, Brother Yang. Regardless of whether it works or not, I will treat you to a drink."
Zhang Yida said with a smile.
"If you ask what these two people do, they both work in finance. If I remember correctly, you should be studying history?"
Lin Zhenyang asked a little confused.
"I want to cooperate with them, and I'm wondering if I can get a connection through the alumni association!"
Zhang Yida thought for a while and finally revealed his true purpose.
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation? Do you want to start a business and attract investment?"
Lin Zhenyang felt that the world was changing too fast. A junior who had just been in school for more than 20 days was about to start a business. He needed a glass of beer to calm down.
"Yes, I want to start a business, but if I want to invest, just let it happen. The main thing is that I want to cooperate with their company!"
Zhang Yida pretended to be B indifferently, thinking that cooperation would be great. If he invests, it seems that there is no competition with them now, but he will not be able to tell in the future. If the shares are not too much, then he will accept part of the financing and accelerate the business.
develop.
If too many shares are transferred through financing, it will be embarrassing if they meet at war in the future.
When Lin Zhenyang heard that he really wanted to start a business, he almost choked on his beer. After calming down for a long time, he thought about it and asked seriously:
"If you want to start a business, have you decided what company to start?"
"How is the team recruited? How is the business rolled out?"
"Also, how do you handle company affairs? Take a break from school to join full-time, or do you take care of it part-time while studying?"
"I'm not throwing cold water on you, I'm just giving you some advice from my perspective."
Zhang Yida nodded, put away his playful smile, and replied seriously:
"I have already thought about what kind of company to start. To start a business in the field of mutual finance, I need to develop both a PC website and a mobile APP, especially mobile development."
"The company's main business is a mobile financial product supermarket, connecting with various financial companies such as banks, insurance, wealth management, loans, etc., and cooperating with them to put their products on our platform."
“First of all, users register as members of our platform and can choose financial products that suit them just like shopping in a supermarket. For financial products, you can compare product yields, for loan products, you can compare interest, and for insurance products, you can compare premiums and insured amounts, as well as all insurance products.
Keep track of the number and severity of symptoms!”
"As for partner companies, users of our platform can choose financial products that suit them, click on the link to jump to the product provider, and complete the transaction directly!"
"From a user perspective, there are more financial products to choose from. In fact, the biggest benefit is convenience!"
"For partners, this adds another sales channel, which can increase product sales!"
"Our company has brought value to users and partner companies. From a fundamental point of view, this is a sustainable business model!"
Zhang Yida stopped and took a sip of beer to moisten his throat.
Lin Zhenyang looked thoughtful and gestured to continue talking.
Zhang Yida continued:
"Next we'll talk about team recruitment. As for technology, I'm going to ask our senior brothers and sisters to make version 1.0 as quickly as possible in the early stage."
"If we don't have a product, we can't go out and talk about cooperation, so the product has to be made as soon as possible."
"Technology is not the focus, we will gradually add full-time positions later on."
"For business, you need to have some skills. It's very difficult to fool other companies into cooperating with a small company like ours that has just started, so I plan to take up this part! I heard that Jack Ma's China Railway Supply Army is good. If I can
It would be best to dig out one or two!"
"Operation is the top priority. The core of a company like ours is traffic, and the bulk of the initial spending is on this. This will definitely require full-time recruitment, and we must hire a master to take charge!"
"When it comes to business development, isn't this consulting you?"
"Start with the alumni association and get familiar with it. Collaborate with a few first, and then expand outward!"
"As for me, I will definitely only have part-time management in the early stage!"
"If you work harder in the early stage, I will feel more relaxed when everything is on track!"
This is also Zhang Yida's innermost thoughts. In the later period, he focused more on strategic planning, and the specific execution will definitely be handled by the people below.
Lin Zhenyang is a top student in the Department of Financial Mathematics at Beijing University and is also the vice-president of the student union. He is also very knowledgeable. Seeing that Zhang Yida answered clearly and clearly, it seemed like that. After carefully reviewing the content of the words for a moment, he again
Continue to ask:
"The model is feasible, similar to Rong361, but where does the traffic come from?"
"The biggest weakness of your business plan is traffic. Without traffic, you are just a clever woman who cannot make a meal without straw."
Zhang Yida did not answer the question immediately, took a sip of beer and asked:
"Senior Brother Lin, you are also a senior. Do you plan to continue your graduate studies or find a job?"
Seeing that Zhang Yida didn't answer his question, Lin Zhenyang didn't care and replied:
"Employment, I will participate in school recruitment next year."
If nothing else, just like in his previous life, Lin Zhenyang eventually went to a foreign investment bank, starting from the lowest level as an analyst, becoming an investment manager in 2017, and promoted to VP vice president in 2019, with an annual salary of one million, a proper young man
Talented, financial elite.
As for Zhang Yida, the two have never lost contact. They are both alumni and teammates, which are all personal connections. Maybe the other will need help in the next second.
Two months before Zhang Yida's rebirth in 2019, Lin Zhenyang flew to Chengdu to inspect Zhang Yida's pet food factory.
We talked about cooperation in terms of investment by venture capital institutions and underwriting and listing. The cooperation was about to be finalized, but Zhang Yida returned to 2013 inexplicably.
The power of the alumni circle is still very powerful, especially for top schools. Whether you start a business or work in a company. Because you have a strong alumni circle, you may close one more business and win one more round than others.
