My Age of Investment

"Are you Kevin Strom?"

Xia Jingxing couldn't help but strike up a conversation when he saw this still quite green face.

Kevin Strom is not a computer science major, he majors in management science and engineering.

The reason why he participated in the course selection organized by the Department of Computer Science is because the freshman and sophomore courses are relatively easy, and the professional difficulty is not high. He wants to audit the computer course.

This is also the norm in European and American universities, and the school does not object to students' interests and hobbies. As long as they can ensure that their major courses are not left behind, you can choose other courses.

Stanford's reputation for computer science often attracts students from other majors to take a basic course or two to audition.

Students are also very considerate, learn some computer knowledge, so that they will not be a technical idiot after leaving school.

Kevin Strom also came here to join in the fun with this idea in mind.

He saw an Asian boy blocking his way and called out his name.

Somewhat astonished!

Looking at Xia Jingxing's face, he tried to recall it for a while.

I really don't have an impression, I don't seem to know this character?

So how does he know my name?

"You are?"

Kevin Strom saw the other party hand over his hand in a friendly manner, and before he understood it, he shook hands with the other party in a confused way.

"My name is Darren, and I'm a first-year computer science major."

Xia Jingxing introduced himself and put on a pretense, "I heard that your photography skills are very good, but I didn't expect to meet you here.

I also like photography very much. If we have time, we can discuss and exchange ideas. "

Kevin Strom smiled humbly. He really likes photography, and he didn't expect to meet a little fan here.

He looked at his watch, it was still early.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a cup of coffee."

Kevin Strom was kind enough to extend the invitation.

"You're very kind. I should ask you. In photography, I still have a lot of technical questions that I want to ask you."

Xia Jingxing also opened his mouth to lie, and the purpose was to get to know the person in front of him.

The two people who have only met after seeing each other are like old friends who have not seen each other for many years.

He was a little puzzled, the boss is inseparable from himself every day? How did you meet this bearded brother?

Just met, the other party will invite them to drink coffee, I feel very nice.

This is like me, atmosphere!

The three of them came to a cafe, ordered three cups of instant coffee that the students drank, and some of them chatted.

"You said you two made a website called Facebook? You can show your life on it, make friends and date?"

Kevin Strom looked at Xia Jingxing and the puppy in surprise, with admiration written on his face.

It is not uncommon for Stanford students to build websites, but most of them are done by juniors and seniors, and they have to master a certain technology to do it.

In front of these two people, they created a website just after the first year of school.

No matter what the level of website production is, he is convinced anyway, two ruthless people!

When Xia Jingxing saw Kevin Strom's reaction, he was still very happy.

In the previous life, this person was a ruthless character who needed to be looked up to in terms of business achievements!

The representative product is Instagram, abbreviated as Ins (photo wall).

The company was founded 18 months ago, and gained 30 million users. 13 employees and the company were won by Xiaomazi for 1 billion US dollars.

In addition, he is also one of the 30 most successful alumni in the history of Stanford University selected by Forbes.

Thinking of this person, Xia Jingxing thought of his partner Mike Craig, but he was still in high school in Brazil and would not come to Stanford until two years later.

Xia Jingxing took a deep look at Kevin Strom, who would have thought that the founder of the famous Ins company did not study computers in college, and he didn't even know how to program at this moment.

Ins are all created by this self-taught programming, which is equivalent to a programmer who became a monk halfway.

Xia Jingxing did not invite Kevin Strom to join his team, because joining at this time would not have any great significance for the development of the website, except for diluting the option pool, and there were only many people who could not program.

"Kevin, you can go back to the dormitory and register an account on our website."

Xia Jingxing told the other party the website address and smiled again: "As our first batch of seed users, I hope you can give us more feedback on how to use it, and we can improve it in time to make Facebook cooler and more popular with young people. People love it."

"OK."

Kevin Strom is also a cheerleader, and he agreed, and said that if the site was really good, he would help recommend it to his roommates and friends.

"Great."

Xia Jingxing took out his mobile phone and exchanged a call with Kevin Strom.

After finishing these things, drinking coffee, Kevin took the initiative to speak again and continued to discuss the topic of photography.

It can be seen that this guy really likes photography, and the founding of Ins is inseparable from the other party's love.

It is a blessing to turn a hobby into a career!

After the coffee was finished, the friends also made friends, and Xia Jingxing showed off with the puppy.

On the way back, the little dog said, "When you were drinking coffee just now, boss, you and that Kevin chatted so happily, I thought..."

"Why?"

Xia Jingxing saw the puppy's expression of hesitating to speak, and he had already seen that the other party's sloppy bowels.

Directly pierce the other party: "Do you think I want to recruit him to join our team? It affects your position."

The little dog bowed his head embarrassedly, he just thought about it and didn't say it, how could he be seen through.

He believed that following Xia Jingxing would definitely have a bright future, so he was always waiting for him, even the boss called on him.

If there is another dog leg, his first confidant position will be worrying.

The puppy, who has been familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" since childhood, considers himself to be somewhat scheming, but in front of the hero, he can see through at a glance, and is cleaner than the old artist who was stripped naked.

This made him want to find a crack in the ground to get in, too shameful.

Xia Jingxing thought it was too funny for the little dog to be careful, but he still had to remind the little dog that he had to put the dog in the right position and mentality.

"If the website wants to expand, it is bound to introduce more talents to join in the future.

They have more exquisite technology, skilled operation and manipulative ability.

And when necessary, we must give up some rights and even interests.

do you understand? This is profit maximization. Only when the website develops better can we profit from it, otherwise no amount of shares will be a piece of paper. "

The little dog bowed and called out "Hi", "Xia Jun, I understand, I will never question your decision in the future, nor will I be jealous of good talents."

The two were still on the road at the moment, and many students noticed this interesting scene, a small boy kept bowing to another tall boy.

Without knowing it, I thought it was campus bullying!

Several students who saw the injustice on the road were ready to come over and draw their knives to help.

Afraid of making a joke, Xia Jingxing hurriedly helped the puppy, "Okay, if you have it, you can change it, if you don't, you will be encouraged. I already feel your sincerity."

Puppy's mind turned back and forth, the reason why his mentality was unbalanced, mainly because Stanford was here, and he was full of talents. He was neither a beauty nor a technical master.

The development of the website has always been dominated by Xia Jingxing, he was a little afraid of being kicked out of the car.

Seeing that the puppy was still a little uneasy, Xia Jingxing reassured: "Okay, let's focus on the promotion of the website first.

No matter what the future holds, your co-founder status will never be shaken. You must also be my most trusted friend and partner. "

Hearing these words, the little dog finally felt more at ease.

Seeing that the puppy was still in a low mood, Xia Jingxing sighed and said in a commanding tone, "Tonight at an Italian restaurant, you will treat yourself."

Hearing this command in the ears of the little dog, it was like the sound of nature.

He smiled and said: "I will call to reserve a seat immediately, and there will never be another omission in the queue last time."

Xia Jingxing nodded.

That's the way the people of Dongying are. You can't listen to good words and you have to use a whip.

It's also about the culture, they only obey the strong.

In Puppy's eyes, Xia Jingxing, the great tech god, plus the god of stocks, plus the girl, and the great social god, Xia Jingxing, are strong and worth following.

PS: If you haven't invested yet, hurry up and invest. The contract has been sent, and it will be sent quickly by SF Express. The contract status will be changed today or tomorrow.

Those who haven't bought a ticket hurry up and get on the train, the little train is about to leave.

By the way, let's move forward slowly, don't worry.
