Renmin University has been in session for several days, and several buddies in dormitory 606 have been guarding an empty bed, living as five people in a six-person room.
In fact, everyone has long been used to the days when Li Mu is not in the dormitory. Since the rise of 3321, this guy rarely goes to class and rarely returns to the dormitory. Everyone doesn't know what he is busy with outside every day. They only know that he doesn't have to. There is no need to go to class, go back to the dormitory, or take exams, and no one from the school will trouble him, and they will definitely ensure that he graduates successfully and gets his degree. Maybe the school will even give Li Mu preferential treatment and directly guarantee him a graduate degree.
However, since Li Mu was suddenly exposed on the TV station during the summer vacation, these buddies who had spent time in the same dormitory with him realized that they had always hidden a billionaire, someone so awesome that they A man of God that people can’t believe.
When Li Mu officially appeared on TV as the founder of Makino Technology, although the five buddies in the dormitory were in different places, they all had the same idea in their hearts and felt that everything was so unreal.
It's not that the Li Mu on TV is unreal, it's that the Li Mu who has been living with them is unreal.
If Li Mu was not suddenly exposed as a billionaire, but just won 5 million by buying lottery tickets, people would probably make fun of him in various ways, and then let him treat him to dinner, sing, take a bath, and then eat him for another three years. However, not only was Li Mu's net worth suddenly reaching hundreds of millions, but his identity had also undergone earth-shaking changes. This change was so strong for the five people in Li Mu's dormitory that everyone instinctively felt that they and they There seemed to be a dimension suddenly separated between Li Mu.
One second, he was the brother who slept next door to you, hanging out and drinking together. The next second, he transformed, put on a suit, and became a successful person with national attention. This gave the five people in the dormitory a huge impact, so that Everyone felt in their hearts that Li Mu and themselves were no longer in the same world.
Therefore, after learning the true situation of Li Mu at that time, everyone subconsciously called him to congratulate him. They said it was congratulations, but in fact they couldn't even speak. They were just sighing: You are really good at hiding it!
yes! It’s too much of a secret!
Li Mu didn't reveal even a little bit in advance to his five buddies.
When everyone watched the interview and saw Kong Lingyu, the general manager of Makino Technology, they realized that Li Mu was not prepared to tell the truth to everyone from the beginning.
Why
When everyone helped Li Mu do 3321, what did Li Mu say
He said that he had a cousin who was working on the Internet and had some money. It was his cousin who invested money for him to make 3321. Some people had seen his so-called cousin at first, but later they found out that it was not his cousin at all. Brother, but his subordinate.
In fact, Li Mu did tell a lot of lies to his friends who slept with him. Although they were not malicious and were just to make things easier, when he suddenly flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, the white lies he had once and concealment, it still caused a lot of psychological damage to these bedfellows. It is inevitable that I treat you as a brother, but you always treat me as a fool, and feel sad.
So from the time everyone reunited at the beginning of school to now, no one has suggested whether they should get together with Li Mu.
The buddies in the dormitory often talk about Li Mu. Everyone pays special attention to Li Mu and the actions of Makino Technology and Taobao. Although they complain about Li Mu in their hearts, in the end, deep down, they are extremely proud of Li Mu. Li Mu Every achievement is a great joy to them.
After class that day, Sun Jian, the oldest in the dormitory, planned to invite everyone to have a meal together. As for the reason, most of it had to do with Li Mu.
In fact, since eating in the cafeteria in the morning, he has seen the news about Makino Technology and YY's popularity overseas on TV. Even the host of CCTV could not restrain his face with pride when broadcasting the news. As Li Mu's roommate, the pride in his heart was even more difficult to control.
When he went out to eat at noon, Sun Jian passed by the newsstand and deliberately stopped to take a look. Looking around, he saw that among the dozen or so newspapers and periodicals placed there, almost all the headlines were about Makino Technology and YY;
In the afternoon class, the professor who lectured on marketing deliberately used the rapid popularity of YY among overseas elites as an example. He gave a comprehensive lecture based on the content of the book. He mainly talked about the key role that a good product can play in marketing. The professor said : A good product, especially a perfect product like YY, has strong market development power. Because of its strong product quality, it has a strong word-of-mouth marketing effect and is almost useless. With effortful promotion, you can gain a large number of users and market share just by word of mouth.
The professor also took Lao Gan Ma as an example. Although the current Lao Gan Ma is not as popular as later generations, it is now a large company with an annual output value of hundreds of millions of yuan. It is similar to YY to a certain extent. Both are the same and have almost no influence. It’s a good product that you’ve seen in advertisements, but can use word of mouth to continuously create miracles.
At the end of the whole day, Sun Jian was so proud that he wished he could have a big drink with Li Mu in person to congratulate him, but Sun Jian also knew in his heart that Li Mu was probably so busy right now that he probably wouldn't have time to drink with him. , so he thought, just call everyone out and have a drink together.
Although Sun Jian's family conditions are average, he has made a lot of money as a tutor in 3321 this year. Not only has he given a lot to his family, but after paying the tuition and fees for his sophomore year, he still has a lot of money left on hand, so he spends money easily. It was a lot more open. After class, I called the other four people in the dormitory directly and said that I wanted to invite everyone to have sex outside the school and drink beer.
Li Yawei and Hu Zhengdao both had girlfriends, and both of their girlfriends slept with Zhao Ziqiu, so they applied to Sun Jian and asked if they could bring their family members. Sun Jian agreed without hesitation. Let everyone bring their families with them.
Xue Jianfeng, the second oldest person in the dormitory, asked Sun Jian: "Would you like to call Li Mu and ask if he has time? My brothers haven't seen him since they went on summer vacation."
Sun Jian didn't even think about it and said on the phone: "Forget it, Li Mu's family really earns hundreds of thousands a minute. How can he have time to accompany us to dinner? Even if he really has the time, we can't waste it." Isn’t this their business?”
Xue Jianfeng thought the same thing. Even though they were all buddies in the same dormitory, he was worth hundreds of millions and had a stronger family background than the other five buddies in the dormitory put together. In this case, why would he go out to drink with him? It's really not appropriate to make skewers.
Li Yawei's partner, Han Xiaoxiao, had just finished class when she received Li Yawei's call. Unlike the other girls in the dormitory, she and Zhao Ziqiu not only slept together, but were also classmates. When she answered the phone, she heard that Sun Jian was inviting guests to dinner, so she told Li Yawei Wei said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Ziqiu and I made an appointment to have Japanese barbecue together in the evening."
Li Yawei said: "Hey, let's call Shang Ziqiu together. Japanese barbecue is very different from Chinese barbecue, they mean the same thing."
Han Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "You're just talking nonsense. Can Japanese barbecue and mutton skewers be the same thing? Japanese barbecue restaurants are all tatami, quiet and elegant, and not only can you eat barbecue, but you can also eat sashimi... "
"Stick your ass!" Li Yawei rarely got tough in front of her girlfriend and said, "Look at how good you are. I used to eat mutton skewers and wish I could pull out the sparks with my iron stick, but it's not you? Now I'm following you. What did I say about quiet and elegant..."
Han Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily: "Li Yawei, please be careful what you say. When did I lose my ladylike image?"
Li Yawei said impatiently: "What nonsense are you talking about? The boss has already said that I will take care of my family, so don't let me go!"
Han Xiaoxiao had no choice but to soften her tone and said, "Okay then, I'll ask Ziqiu if he wants to come together."
After hanging up the phone, Han Xiaoxiao ran to Zhao Ziqiu's seat and said to Zhao Ziqiu: "Zi Qiu, the boss of Li Yawei's dormitory said that they are going to treat us tonight, and we have to bring our family members. Do you want to come with us?"
After saying that, Han Xiaoxiao was afraid that Zhao Ziqiu would disagree, so she deliberately said: "You are quite familiar with the people in their dormitory, why don't we go together?"
Zhao Ziqiu's eyes immediately sparkled and he subconsciously asked her, "Is Li Mu going?"
"Ah?" Han Xiaoxiao was stunned and said awkwardly: "I don't know, I guess I won't go... I heard Li Yawei say before that they are too embarrassed to call Li Mu now, for fear of delaying Li Mu from doing big things. .”
Zhao Ziqiu asked in surprise: "They have never been in contact with Li Mu?"
"No." Han Xiaoxiao said, "It's understandable. If you become a billionaire one day, you will be busy all day long and frequently make headlines. If it were me, I would be embarrassed to find you. you… "
Zhao Ziqiu felt a little strange in his heart. On the one hand, he understood that Li Mu was currently at his busiest time, but on the other hand, he also felt that Li Mu should not have any contact with these bedmates. connect.
So Zhao Ziqiu said to Han Xiaoxiao: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I will just go and have a meal with you."
Han Xiaoxiao immediately smiled and said: "That's great. I guess Hu Zhengdao must have called Ya Nan too. The three of us will go there together."
Zhao Ziqiu nodded, and the two came out of the classroom together. Han Xiaoxiao took out his phone and called Wang Yanan.
While Han Xiaoxiao was making an appointment with Wang Yanan on the phone to meet at a meeting place, Zhao Ziqiu secretly sent a text message to Li Mu on his mobile phone: "I will have dinner with my buddies in your dormitory tonight. Do you want to come over and have a skewer together?"
Li Mu is currently on Taobao, continuing to discuss the details of promotional activities with Mr. Lei.
Everything at Makino Technology is in the best condition right now. The "Paradise Town" and server teams are ready to go. Ding Zhenglin is also following up on the financing. Now Elon Musk is coming to China soon. In the next few days, Tian Li Mu probably doesn't have time, so he is racing against time to pay more attention to Taobao.
Li Mu hopes that Taobao will be fully prepared. Once Boss Ma’s Letao and related promotional activities are launched, he will directly use his own activities to kill him without leaving a trace.
While discussing the recent recording of video advertisements by celebrities, Li Mu saw a text message from Zhao Ziqiu.
After reading the content of the text message, Li Mu felt quite uncomfortable. Since school started, he has not been back to school, let alone his dormitory. He has not even made a phone call to a few roommates. It is not that he feels any distance or difference from them. , the main reason is just one word: busy.
It's true that I'm too busy. Every day after I open my eyes and wash up, I go either to Makino Technology or Taobao. Both of them are at an extremely critical moment right now. There are so many things to do. From ten o'clock in the morning, I'm busy until twelve o'clock at night. He felt that he was still too busy, let alone meeting a few buddies in the dormitory, even Zhao Ziqiu, he didn't bother to meet.
In the past, Li Mu didn't believe that successful entrepreneurs could be so busy. Watching the program where Lu Yu interviewed Wang Jianlin, Wang Jianlin said that he arrived at the company at seven in the morning, and his daily work arrangements were accurate to the minute, and he was ready to take private transportation at any time. When preparing to fly to any city, Li Mu thought that the program was just for show. He was obviously the richest man with more money than he could spend in a lifetime, but he was still so busy with his daily work. That was not true. What is the disease? With so much money, why not enjoy life? Are you still struggling
However, now that I am running so many businesses, I realize that Wang Jianlin's program was not artificial at all. The richer you are, the more you can't take time off, because it is not only to make money, but also to realize personal ideals and A greater pursuit.
Wang Jianlin said on the show at the time that he hoped Wanda City could become an existence beyond Disney. This was not necessarily for making money, but more for his own pursuit.
The same goes for Li Mu. If he wants to retire now, he can sell most of the company's shares to capital and let them find powerful professional managers to manage it. In the future, if nothing else, the dividends from the shares alone will be enough for him to spend several lifetimes. Why are you still working so hard? Isn’t it for those pursuits and ideals in your heart
Makino Technology carries Li Mu's national dream. In his previous life, although he witnessed China step by step becoming the world's largest Internet market and personally acted as an inconspicuous screw in it, Li Mu has always had a very big regret in his heart. In China and the huge Chinese Internet industry, there is not a single company or product that can stand tall in the world. Not even one. Therefore, in this life, Li Mu hopes that he can break this shackles for the Chinese Internet industry. Putting aside everything else, First of all, YY must be built into a truly world-class product and its users must be all over the world.
As for Taobao, what it carries is Li Mu’s pursuit of the domestic e-commerce industry. He does not want to be like Boss Ma, who earns all the fake goods dividends and then turns around to be the first to fight against counterfeiting. He hopes that China E-commerce Take the right path from the beginning! It will set an example for all subsequent e-commerce platforms and give Chinese e-commerce a better start.
It is precisely because he has instilled ideals in his career that Li Mu has always maintained an amazing explosive power. He is so busy that he cannot find Beijing, and he is so busy that he has almost no private life.
However, after seeing this text message from Zhao Ziqiu, Li Mu suddenly longed for a short break, longed to be able to unload the burden of ideals and identity, and embrace and enjoy life with the mentality that a young man should have. At this time, he It felt like I was already on the streets of Yanjing in the autumn evening. The cool breeze brought bursts of smoke and fragrance of barbecued skewers, and my beloved girl sat beside me.
A group of friends held huge beer glasses and drank at a roadside stall. The topic throughout the night could not escape the love and dreams of youth, wantonness and publicity.
