Every graduation season brings farewell and sadness. After four years of college, the classmates who have been together day and night are about to go their separate ways. All the things that happened in school seem to have become the past.
Of course, there is also the anticipation of starting a new journey.
Every year when we graduate, the class has a final dinner together and good friends get drunk.
In the entire founding team, except for Ke Zhi and Xiang Sen, who are graduate students and doctoral students respectively, the others are facing graduation. Of course, there is also the only junior student, Lin Xi.
Ji Junxing was so busy that he had to ask Lin Xi to help him print his graduation thesis.
The company is about to conduct round A financing. Ji Junxing has met with various investors in the past few days. After Xiaozheng Doctor went online, it has been very strong.
In less than a month, the number of registered users exceeded one million.
The number of downloads is among the highest among medical apps. The market share of some apps that have been online for several years has been rapidly eroded by "Xiao Zheng Doctor".
In the investment circle, there is a term called unicorns.
Unicorn companies are start-up companies with a valuation of more than one billion US dollars.
If "Doctor Xiao Zheng" was previously regarded as the work of a group of college students, now, this group of young calves have completely broken the outside world's prejudice.
Now, many investment funds and well-known domestic Internet companies have reached out to Ji Junxing, hoping to get a place in this round of investment.
However, the business world outside is changing rapidly, and on the Tsinghua campus, young people wearing bachelor's gowns and bachelor's hats and taking photos can be seen everywhere.
"I actually saw someone taking graduation photos in a wedding dress. How daring." Ye Ke came back from outside and exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Qianqian heard this, she immediately said, "Really? I'm so envious. I want to wear it too. It must look great."
"You'd better give up." Ye Ke said in a low voice.
Chu Qianqian asked in confusion: "Why should I just let it go?"
"There are two girls in your class, you and Lin Xi. If you wear a wedding dress, does Lin Xi have to wear one too?" At this point, Ye Ke glanced at Chu Qianqian and chuckled, "Do you think the jealous queen in her family would let Lin Xi wear a wedding dress for the first time in the graduation photo?"
Hearing this, Chu Qianqian sighed and said, "Forget it, I'd better find a boyfriend as soon as possible."
"But I'm already a junior in college, do you think I can still have a twilight romance?"
Ye Ke really had no way to answer Chu Qianqian's question.
Xiao Fangyu was quite curious and asked, "Xixi, isn't there a boy from the Department of Mechanical Engineering pursuing you? Why don't you consider it?"
When Chu Qianqian thought about the boy standing next to her, she immediately shook her head as she thought that if she wore shoes with high heels, she would be taller than him.
Let’s just forget it.
She turned around and asked Lin Xi who was sitting opposite her, "Lin Xi, are there any promising young people in your company? Can you introduce them to me?"
"Promising young people, I think all the boys in our school are considered promising." Lin Xi looked at her and said directly, "But you have been here for three years and still haven't found anyone."
Chu Qianqian sighed again. She is a face lover.
Instead of asking her to lower her standards, it would be better to let her remain single until she grows old.
As for the other two girls in the dormitory, Ye Ke was indifferent to the idea of dating. Xiao Fangyu was devoted to her studies, her goal was to be admitted to graduate school, and she never thought about dating during her undergraduate studies.
Although it was not their graduation season, several of them were actually a little sad.
Lin Xi had just opened the file when her phone beeped twice. She looked down and saw that it was a message from Jiang Yimian.
It's a photo.
She didn't pay attention at first and just clicked it casually.
When she looked clearly at the photo and saw that the person wearing the Republic of China style clothing was Ji Junxing, she was stunned.
Ji Junxing was wearing a black Zhongshan suit with a stand-up collar, a school uniform style. He seemed a little bored, with his shoulders slightly leaning against the pillar next to him, looking to the other side with a lazy smile on his face. His energy was really eye-catching.
"Mr. Ji took a photo, and someone watched and took it, and posted it on the forum."
Jiang Yimian sent this message.
Lin Xi knew that Ji Junxing's class was taking graduation photos today, but she didn't expect that the clothes they chose would be this one.
Every year during graduation season, some classes will choose some special graduation clothes to commemorate the occasion. This style of school uniforms from the Republic of China has been quite popular in recent years. However, this kind of clothes is very picky.
"They are over at the school. If you want to watch, go there quickly."
After reading this sentence, Lin Xi smiled.
Just as she put her phone down, she suddenly stood up.
Tsinghua Academy is a famous place in the school, and it is the place where graduates come back every year to take photos. Ji Junxing was originally impatient about taking photos, but this is the only time in his life that he will take photos after graduating from college, so he will naturally participate.
But they didn't expect that when they were taking pictures, many people kept looking over here, and some even kept taking pictures.
He felt a little annoyed.
Since the successful launch of 'Xiao Zheng Doctor', Ji Junxing's popularity has risen to a new level.
Not only is he sought after by the investment community, but the media also sees him as a news hotspot to be explored. There are so many things about him that the public wants to know, such as his youth, his experience of applying to Tsinghua University without taking an entrance exam, and his entrepreneurial experience.
And whether his company can really become the giant industry that others say it is in the future.
Therefore, the attention on him is increasing day by day.
"Master Ji, just take a few more pictures and it will be done." Seeing his impatient face, his roommate Zhou Yiming consoled him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Junxing's face, which had been full of impatience, suddenly changed. A smile spread from the corners of his lips, and he seemed to have become a completely different person from the lazy and impatient person just now.
Zhou Yiming was just thinking in his heart, no way, Master Ji is giving him so much face, but he actually laughed after just saying one word.
Unexpectedly, Ji Junxing had already raised his foot and walked forward.
When he turned around, he saw the girl not far away, and Ji Jun walked to her side and actually rested his head on her shoulder.
Ji Junxing's intimate action made Lin Xi's cheeks slightly red.
She whispered, "Ji Junxing."
The slightly annoyed voice made Ji Junxing want to get closer to her.
"Tired?" Lin Xi knew that he was too busy these days. After returning home every night, he would work in the study for a long time. Lin Xi wanted to accompany him several times, but he drove her back to her room.
After all, as a member of the technical department, Lin Xi only needs to do his job well.
But Ji Junxing is the one who is supposed to manage the entire company. He is the helmsman of this small boat that has just set sail. There are countless storms waiting ahead. He must see the direction clearly and lead everyone forward.
There were people around, but Ji Junxing didn't care at all. He rested his head lightly on Lin Xi's shoulder.
"These people always take pictures of me secretly." Ji Junxing said unhappily.
Lin Xi wanted to laugh even more when she heard his tone. She whispered, "Okay, okay, I'll stay here with you. If anyone dares to take photos secretly, I'll teach them a lesson."
"Yeah." He responded softly.
At this time, the photographer called for people to continue taking pictures. Lin Xi shook his hand and said softly, "Go ahead."
Ji Junxing then turned around and walked over.
The fact that Stream is about to enter the A round of financing has caused a great impact in the investment circle. Baijun is the second largest shareholder after Ji Junxing. Therefore, Ji Junxing must attract new investors and protect the interests of existing shareholders.
Lin Xi currently holds 3% of the shares, and all members of the original team have shares.
It's just that everyone's shareholding ratio is different.
Ji Junxing didn't expect that even Song He would get involved. The Song family's company Qiming Group is a well-known Internet company in China. A few years ago, it was one of the best in China. However, in recent years, the company's new businesses have failed repeatedly. It had entered the food delivery industry before, but it failed in less than two years even with a large investment.
Artificial intelligence is the hottest topic today, and many Internet companies have invested money and manpower into it.
Google has been working with various laboratories in recent years, and last month they launched an AI medical assisted screening system. Therefore, Song He plans to seize this opportunity and enter the field of artificial intelligence through investment stream.
Junlin Capital, where Song Linxue previously worked, was an investment company founded by Song He.
Unexpectedly, Ji Junxing rejected Junlin Capital.
Now for the A round of financing, Song He personally came forward.
But he didn't expect that Ji Junxing politely said a few words to his secretary, saying that they would consider it.
"Dad, I told you that he has a bad temper." Song Linxue said helplessly while sitting on the sofa. However, when she said this, she did not look annoyed, but instead smiled a little.
It was as if Ji Junxing was just playing with her.
Song He glanced at her, chuckled, and said lightly: "After all, he is Ji Xuanheng's son. He is confident and naturally proud."
As a young person, if he didn't have that kind of family background, how could he easily refuse a large sum of money that was delivered to his doorstep
Song Linxue held her chin with her hand and said nonchalantly, "He is so arrogant not because he is someone's son. He really has talent and ability."
"Talent and ability?" Song He seemed to have heard some terrible joke.
He stood up, walked over and looked out the window. This was a 46-story building.
"My daughter, what a city like Beijing lacks the least is talent. But do you know how many talented people leave every year because they can't stay there anymore?" Lian Songhe also went through a lot of hardships to get started.
Ji Junxing is a young man in his early twenties. Even if he graduated from a prestigious university, if he didn't have his biological father and the background of the Ji family, would he have been able to have such a smooth journey
Song Linxue bit her lip and asked, "Dad, if he really doesn't accept your investment, what are you going to do?"
"I don't accept..." Song He seemed to have already thought about this question.
He showed the coldness of years of immersion in the business world and said, "Just watch."
"Dad, don't be too harsh on him." Song Linxue said shyly.
Song He looked at her and said helplessly, "You haven't given up on this boy yet."
Ji Junxing never shied away from the fact that he had a girlfriend, and he had seen him and Lin Xi together at a cocktail party. Since Ji Junxing was noticed by the media, the love story between him and Lin Xi also became a topic of media attention.
After all, it is not surprising for a young and wealthy man to have a girlfriend, but what if this girlfriend has been with him for several years and they have even been in the same school since high school
This love story that begins in childhood is pure and without any mixed interests.
Fairytale enough.
"Dad, Ji Junxing's family background and education are both suitable for me. Why should I give up on a man like him so easily?" Song Linxue smiled easily. She raised her chin slightly, showing a determined expression and said, "I would find it strange if there were no women fighting for a man like him."
Song He has always liked Song Linxue's personality of setting a goal and then doing it.
He felt that among his children, Song Linxue was the most like him.
Song He had been married twice. Song Linxue's mother was his first wife, but when Song Linxue was ten years old, he divorced his first wife and married his second wife. At this time, the twins born to his second wife were already several years old.
Fortunately, Song Linxue is sensible and never gets angry with her younger brothers and sisters, so Song He has always doted on her the most.
It is said that men become bad when they have money, and this is true.
Song He is like most men. Once he has money, his mind changes and he is surrounded by women.
However, his original wife had a very strong-willed personality. When she found out that he had a child outside, she divorced him without hesitation, divided her assets, and immigrated to Canada.
Now, when Song He occasionally thinks back on it and looks at the examples of the original wives around him who made a lot of noise, he actually admires her a little.
Let go.
"People like him have everything they need, and they are also the most difficult to deal with." Song He said calmly. It's not that he was pouring cold water on Song Linxue, but he had seen a lot, and he could understand some people's personalities even if he didn't have a close relationship with them.
Song Linxue smiled. There is a saying that goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
She has known Ji Junxing for several years and she is not in a hurry.
However, what Song He and Song Linxue did not expect was that even though Song He personally came forward, Ji Junxing did not give him face. He rejected Song He's investment on the grounds that the investor had already reached an agreement.
Soon it was August, and Stream announced its Series A financing.
Originally, the entire company was in a stage of high spirits. After all, this round of financing exceeded 100 million yuan, which was extremely good news for a company that had been established for only two years.
"Have you watched the news?" Jiang Yimian hurried in. Ji Junxing was having a meeting with them.
Ji Junxing frowned, seeming a little unhappy about being interrupted, and whispered: "What is it? Can't it wait until we finish?"
"Qiming Group announced that it will hold a press conference in three days. They will showcase the company's new medical app 'Xiaobai Doctor' on site." Jiang Yimian said anxiously. If the situation wasn't urgent, she wouldn't have come in suddenly.
Ji Junxing looked at her, and Jiang Yimian handed him the tablet computer in his hand, with the screen just staying on the news page.
He browsed through the news, and the information revealed in this limited amount of news was shocking.
Because this so-called "Doctor Xiaobai" is the Qiming Group's version of "Doctor Xiaozheng".
Then everyone picked up their phones and searched for the news.
Chen Mo immediately cursed: "Fuck."
Lin Xi frowned. Just the name "Doctor Xiaobai" made people feel that they were similar. Of course, it was too early to judge based on just a name.
"Isn't this stuff plagiarized from us?" Xie Ang asked angrily.
Ji Junxing: "Don't make any public statements for now. Also, even if a reporter calls us, be careful with your words. Don't bring up any plagiarism or copying, because they may use this to falsely accuse us."
However, Ji Junxing did not expect that Song He would call him personally this time.
"Mr. Ji, do you have time to meet me? I want you to help me take a look at the new product that our company is about to launch." Song He spoke calmly, as if he had already anticipated Ji Junxing's answer.
Ji Junxing thought for a moment and whispered, "Of course, but I'll decide the location."
Ji Junxing booked a box in a private club, which is a place specially provided for business meetings.
Privacy is good enough.
Song He was not proud of his status and was deliberately late. He arrived at the same time as Ji Junxing, and he brought a few entourages with him, two of whom were obviously technicians. It seemed that he really just wanted to show Ji Junxing his company's new products.
Ji Junxing remained indifferent until the other party finished displaying the product.
Song He actually looked at him with some respect.
According to the technicians’ demonstration, this “Xiaobai Doctor” is also an app that provides online consultation, and even one-on-one online consultation. However, the demonstration of this so-called AI consultation system was very short.
"What do you feel?" Song He looked at Ji Junxing with a smile, trying to find flaws in his expression.
However, seeing that he was still unmoved, Song He smiled and whispered, "In three days, this product will be available in all major app stores, and all products under Qiming Group will promote this new product. We will provide the maximum amount of resources and money. What do you think the chances of your 'Xiao Zheng Doctor' succeeding?"
Qiming Group not only owns a portal website, but also provides cloud services, and they occupy 60% of the cloud service market. That is to say, out of 100 netizens who use cloud storage, 60 of them will choose Qiming Cloud Storage.
The comparison between the market value of the two companies is like that between an elephant and a kitten.
Perhaps Stream will become a lion in the market one day, but now, in front of Qiming Group, they are just a kitten, so weak that they can't withstand a single blow.
Ji Junxing raised his head and looked straight at him.
Song He stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I want to buy Stream. Make an offer."
Since you don't accept my investment, I will buy you out. If you still don't accept it, I will destroy you.
This is the purpose of Song He coming to see Ji Junxing today.
Song He looked at him with certainty. After all, he felt that giving Ji Junxing the right to make an offer was already an act of exceptional leniency towards him.
But as he waited confidently, the young man opposite him laughed.
There was a smile in his eyes, and gradually, the smile spread to his lips and the corners of his eyes, until he suddenly stopped smiling.
"If this is a battle, I will choose to fight head-on rather than kneel down and make money."
Ji Junxing left this sentence and stood up to leave.
Three days later, Qiming Group held a press conference and announced on the spot that a popular young actor would become the spokesperson for "Xiaobai Doctor". The handsome star, wearing a white coat, stood on the stage, and was really handsome.
Lin Xi watched the entire live broadcast in the office. When the product manager began to introduce the project, she stared at the screen without blinking.
“Our project has been incubated for 28 months…”
28 months, that means we started this project earlier than them, Lin Xi sneered.
She naturally understood why Qiming Group emphasized this product cycle. After all, "Xiaobai Doctor" and "Xiaozheng Doctor" were too similar, and it was inevitable that they would be considered plagiarism. So they simply took the initiative and put this scene at the press conference, so that the two products just accidentally collided with each other.
It's not plagiarism.
They can even claim that it took them so long to launch the product in order to keep improving.
That night, Chen Mo walked in, looking annoyed, and said, "Do you know how long they have been doing this 'Little Doctor'?"
Xie Ang immediately asked, "Didn't they say 28 months? I saw they released all the work records today."
"But have you seen the specific time in those work records?" Chen Mo sneered.
He said: "Fifty-six days, from the time the Qiming project team received the assignment to the time the product launch conference was held, a total of fifty-six days. It wasn't even two months, and they dared to lie like that."
Everyone was stunned.
Ji Junxing leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "As expected."
When he saw the man showing him "Xiaobai Doctor" that day, he had a sense of déjà vu and knew that the code of this product might be copied from their "Xiaozheng Doctor".
This is simply a knockoff.
"Do you think we can win?" Ji Junxing looked at them.
Three days later, when "Xiaobai Doctor" came online, there was suddenly an article titled "The Thundering Rage of the Tech Elite".
This article uses the example of Q Company and S Company. When Q Company failed to invest in S Company, it turned to acquire S Company. However, after being rejected by S Company again, Q Company actually forced to create a product that was very similar to S Company's product within 56 days.
Although the article uses codes, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Company Q is Qiming Group, and Company S is Stream.
Unexpectedly, Qiming Group actually sent a lawyer's letter for "Dr. Xiaobai" for the first time.
Not only do we ask the person who posted this article to delete the blog post, we also ask him to make a public apology.
The original author was forced to delete the article and apologize to Qiming Group on Weibo, stating that he should not have made the insinuation.
The article pointed directly at Qiming Group with a sharp tone, saying that it bullied the weak and used its size to bully the small. Although this behavior is very common in the business world, it is the young people who have the right to speak on the Internet today.
They were a group of young people about the same age as Ji Junxing.
In the process of their growth, they have all encountered such experiences of being bullied by the strong to a greater or lesser extent.
When Ji Junxing, a role model for young people, was also oppressed by a large company, all the young people seemed to be united. This new generation who had a voice on the Internet criticized the bullying behavior of the technology elite and accused them of shamelessly copying other people's achievements.
This time, the young people of the new generation were completely enraged.
A well-known large company, after blatantly copying the hard work of others, actually suppressed others' right to speak.
Is it true that in this world there is only power and no justice
Of course.
With the support of netizens, the download volume and registered users of "Xiao Zheng Doctor" have continued to rise. Now the number of registered users has reached tens of millions, and the daily active users are more than five million.
After the first day, the number of downloads of "Little White Doctor" dropped rapidly and fell outside the top 50.
After three days, the duel between 'Doctor Xiao Zheng' and 'Doctor Xiao Bai' has been decided.
Look, they can win.
It was not until this moment that Lin Xi and the others understood the determined smile on Ji Junxing's face that day.
The author has something to say: The young master is just so stubborn
Today is Brother Tong’s birthday, I will give everyone 500 red envelopes
The first 100 are all free, and the next 400 are random. It's finally going to reach 100,000. Thank you all in advance. Love you all.
I hope that next year, the year after, and the year after that, you will be here and I will be here too.
