Wang Wei and Li Li had a very complicated attitude towards Zhou Xin at first. The sharp contrast between academic performance and material conditions made it difficult for them to have a peaceful attitude towards Zhou Xin.
Zhou Xin's academic performance is much better than them, but his material conditions are far behind them. With Cao Yongluo in the same dormitory as a mediator, Wang Wei and Li Li can remain polite on the surface, but they still inevitably gossip in private.
After both Zhou Xin and Cao Yongluo went to California, especially after Zhou Xin transferred to another school, the two of them still enjoyed the dividends brought by Zhou Xin's fame for a while.
As Zhou Xin's roommates, they did not miss the feast of media reporters and portal reporters.
After Zhou Xin's rapid rise, the benefits of such visits became even greater.
But these benefits are not worth mentioning compared with the benefits obtained by their class study committee members from writing books.
Li Li added: "Yes, most of the content in "Zhou Xin's Road to Success" written by that guy Zhao Zhihua is made up based on online news.
Why did Zhou Xin feel anxious when he started his own business? Did he know Zhou Xin? When Yahoo wanted to build a gaming community, Zhou Xin struggled repeatedly, and finally firmed up his inner thoughts and took the initiative to confront Yahoo head-on.
Before suing Yahoo in American Federal Court, I had an all-night phone call with him to discuss the matter.
Isn't this pure nonsense? "
Cao Yongluo was speechless after hearing this. He could only meet Zhou Xin every month, but he didn't dare to make it up like this. Zhao Zhihua dared to make it up like this.
Cao Yongluo asked: "So this is the reason why you sent me an email asking me if Zhao Zhihua and Zhou Xin had any contact?"
Wang Wei nodded: "Yes, the main thing is that the content is too nonsense, as if Zhao Zhihua is Zhou Xin's best friend and his military advisor.
A few of us used to get along with Zhou Xin every day. In addition to the classroom and study room, he was also in the library. He had no interaction with Zhao Zhihua. "
Cao Yongluo patted his head, feeling a headache: "Why didn't you tell me at that time?"
Li Li said: “We regarded him as a clown at the time, and after he wrote it, a publisher quickly signed it.
After they were all published, he came to our dormitory with two copies, showed them to us, and said he wanted to ask for our opinions.
Because Zhao Zhihua also treated us to dinner twice before and asked about Zhou Xin at the dinner table.
At that time, we thought he was also contributing to some website, so we didn’t think much about it and talked to him about some content.
As a result, apart from the news and the content he made up, the only small part of his book that had anything to do with the real situation was the content we told him.
We regarded him as a clown at the time, thinking that after so long the popularity of Xun Zhou Xin had passed, no one would still be interested in this thing. I ignored him and just sent you an email to verify.
Later, the book became popular. After it became popular, Zhao Zhihua donated 500,000 RMB to the department as a scholarship. As soon as the money was donated, the counselor told us not to tell anyone about it even if it was fake. "
Wang Wei continued: "Yes, who would have thought that Zhao Zhihua could make such a big splash. It's not that I can't bear to see him making money, but the main reason is that his book contains too much conjecture."
Cao Yongluo sighed: "Aren't the counselors afraid of letting Zhou Xin know? Unless Zhou Xin never returns to China?
After all, Yan University is still his alma mater. Compared with 500,000 RMB, isn't Zhou Xin's favor more important? "
Li Li replied: "What they mean is that all the contents in this book are praising Zhou Xin, praising him as the unparalleled genius in the world.
Even some moments of confusion, anxiety and struggle add a human dimension to Zhou Xin. In the words of the girls in the literature department, they add a character arc to the character of Zhou Xin.
If Zhou Xin knew about this purely positive image, nothing would happen to him. Instead, he would feel that Yan Da was helping him build momentum. "
Wang Wei and Li Li sang in harmony: "Yes, we asked the counselor the same question at that time. In addition to saying this, he also said that "Zhou Xin's Road to Success" is like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is based on facts. Adapted on.
And he said that it is clearly written on the cover of the book that it is based on facts.
Li Li and I couldn't find any reason to refute. "
Li Li continued to add: "Yeah, that guy Zhao Zhihua still wants to wait for Zhou Xin to come back, ask Zhou Xin himself to get the interview rights, and write another new biography of Zhou Xin, saying that he treats Zhou Xin's biography as "Three Kingdoms".
I've never seen him have such a talent before. "
Not only Wang Wei and Li Li were offended by Zhao Zhihua's sexual manipulation, but also his classmates from the Department of Literature at Yanda were even more offended. The Department of Literature obviously had an advantage in this aspect.
As a result, the crab was eaten by people from the physics department.
These words made Cao Yongluo dumbfounded. He thought it was indeed like this: "Forget it, let's not talk about it today. You guys will give me a book written by Zhao Zhihua later. I will go back and take a look. We are three brothers today." Long time no see, I won’t come back until I’m drunk.”
"As for learning, you can learn at any time." Cao Yongluo continued.
Speaking of this, Wang Wei and Li Li could find a place to complain again.
"Brother Cao, you don't know that the competition for going abroad is becoming increasingly fierce."
There is no concept of volume yet, otherwise he would definitely use the word volume to describe it. This word is too close to the actual situation.
"Zhou Xin is famous all over the country, just because he was a student at Yanda University, so Yanda students and teachers often use him as an example.
The publicity reports of various media have reported everything that Zhou Xin can report from his birth to his departure abroad.
They also made up all sorts of things they didn't know.
In the past, maybe 10 out of 10 people wanted to study in America, but only 3 people could actually take action.
Now, 10 out of 10 people still want to study in America, but only 7 are able to take action.
Especially at Yanda, apart from going abroad, other options such as postgraduate study and employment in foreign companies no longer exist, let alone postgraduate entrance examinations and state-owned enterprises. "Wang Wei's tone was full of sadness, and Cao Yongluo sounded like he had the aura of dying before he left the army.
Li Li: "Yes, Zhou Xin lived on scholarship in China. Maybe his family had some savings before, or other relatives gave him some money.
Going out and directly becoming a millionaire with a fortune of tens of billions of dollars is a transformation that is too exaggerated.
This leads everyone to think, if I go to Amerikan, I won’t be able to make tens of billions, but it won’t be difficult for me to make a million dollars.
Going to America and being worth a million dollars is much better than the quality of life back home.
Everyone seems to think that all real-life problems will be solved as long as they go to America. "
Cao Yongluo asked helplessly: "You also believe this?
I also went to Amerikan. Why didn’t I make any money? Even with the scholarship, my family gave me US$5,000.
There I could go to Zhou Xin's place for a big meal every month, and I didn't save a penny.
What are you thinking about? Don’t you two understand what you are saying? Why do you want to go abroad? In fact, apart from better scenery, better architecture, and fewer people, there is nothing else abroad.
I'm really not used to eating there, but our Yanjing restaurant is more authentic. "
Li Li: "We don't believe this. To put it bluntly, there are only a few people who believe this stuff.
But it is true that everyone felt that if Zhou Xin went there to make such a big fuss, we might be able to do it.
But we are both self-aware and want to go out simply to watch you and Zhou Xin go out. Don’t we also want to see Amerikan? "
Wang Wei: "Yes, yes, we also want to see the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism. We eat the sugar-coated cannonballs and then shoot them back.
And another very important reason why everyone from Yan University wants to go to America is that isn't Zhou Xin in California?
From Riot Games to Flamingo to Quora and NewPay, these four companies we know are all well-known companies.
With alumni connections, wouldn’t it be much easier to join these companies and get an H1B visa to stay in America?
Not to mention that these companies are all in their infancy and have great potential for development. The future development space is also very broad.
What if you become familiar with Zhou Xin through your alumni relationship?
Moreover, there was a rumor on the Weiming Lake BBS forum that our senior fellow from the 1987 Information Management Department was named Li? Received several million US dollars in angel investment from Zhou Xin. "
Li Li added: "Robin Li."
Wang Wei continued: "Yes, that's him. Then those who knew him asked the seniors who stayed at Amliken for various verifications.
This was confirmed through multiple sources.
If a Yan university student went to Amerikan, Zhou Xin might invest in it. This would be a bigger opportunity. "
Li Li nodded: "Yes, although these are small-probability events, not everyone can have such opportunities.
But there was no such opportunity before, but now it is. Zhou Xin has no relatives or friends, so he has to rely on his alumni?
Yan Da's background is considered an elite in China.
Most Master Yan holds this idea. "
Cao Yongluo thought about it carefully. According to normal logic, there is really nothing wrong with the ideas of Yan Da and others.
The only problem is that judging from Cao Yongluo’s past contacts with Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin’s sense of belonging to Yanda is not that strong.
Cao Yongluo asked, "You two also have such thoughts?"
Wang Wei: "If you go and contact Zhou Xin later, it depends on his wishes. It doesn't matter what we said.
And to put it bluntly, even if you have to return to China in the end, it is better to go out and get gold plating than at home. "
Cao Yongluo: "I always feel it's not that easy. It's been a year since Zhou Xin went there. Except for Robin Li, I haven't seen any Mr. Yan enter the management level in Zhou Xin's company."
Regarding this matter, Wang Wei and Li Li know better than Cao Yongluo: "There is also Wu Shiqiang. Wu Shiqiang is a 1986 alumnus of the Department of Finance at Yanda. He is now the president of Xinxing Investment.
Emerging Investment is an investment institution established by Zhou Xin in China. "
Cao Yongluo thought about it and realized that this was the case. He and Wu Shiqiang also knew each other. The problem was that he didn't know which university Wu Shiqiang graduated from: "How do you know so clearly?"
"It's not like there are too many great people in Weiming Lake BBS."
"Weiminghu bbs has statistics. As long as there are Chinese in the executive team of Zhou Xin's companies, they must have graduated from Yanda.
It’s only been a year since Robin Li and Wu Shiqiang were already there, and this success rate is enough for them to make a splash. "
After a conversation in the dormitory, Cao Yongluo felt a lot more energetic. No wonder the staff treated him so well when he went to the International Study Center to go through the procedures.
Cao Yongluo originally thought that the other party knew about his family background, but now it seems that the other party probably knew that he was Zhou Xin's roommate and went to California with Zhou Xin.
No more today, it’s too late to come back after watching the movie.
