My Age of Investment

"A website for Chinese international students to make friends and share their lives."

Xia Jingxing thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe it will expand to cover all Chinese in the future."

Kristina pondered for a moment and asked, "How many Chinese are there in the world?"

"About 50 million."

This data is a set of numbers that Xia Jingxing saw in his last life when he looked at the report on relevant national projects.

The Chinese are widely distributed, with diverse identities and cultures.

However, if it is not strictly speaking, the immigration time can even be calculated from the Song Dynasty, and the time span is very large, so it is difficult to accurately count.

50 million is only an approximate number, and there are definitely more than this number of people with Chinese ancestry.

"How many Chinese are there in America?" Christina asked again.

"About 2 million, right?"

Xia Jingxing didn't know if it was accurate or not. Ten years later, the number was more than 5 million, which has more than doubled. The current 2 million should only be a lot more.

In addition, there are 700,000 to 800,000 overseas Chinese in Canada.

"That's not a lot."

Christina has also come into contact with many Chinese in her life, but she did not expect such a small number.

There are currently 288 million people in the United States, and the proportion of Chinese is not only 1%.

"Yes, not many."

Xia Jingxing nodded and acknowledged this, "My main purpose is to use this website to facilitate Chinese compatriots studying abroad to make friends and share their daily life.

In addition, it can also give some study abroad guidance to students in mainland China.

In the future, it can also be developed into finding a job, a news forum, publishing some convenient information, and so on. "

After hearing this, Christina nodded, "It sounds good, but it feels too limited."

"Why is it limited?" Xia Jingxing was puzzled.

"It's not limited to Chinese, everyone can register, so it will definitely have more users and higher commercial value."

Xia Jingxing smiled, as expected of studying economics, three sentences are inseparable from money.

He is just a Chinese student studying in the United States, without naturalization or even a green card.

If you want to start a national website, not to mention the difficulty of its promotion and development, the identity of the founder is the biggest problem.

It's not a big deal, but if you get to a certain scale, there will definitely be a force of obstruction.

Moreover, the user information of social networking sites is also very sensitive. Although I understand that Wang is still engaged in real estate, other leaders in power in the United States will definitely not ignore it.

"Yeah, I don't think it should be limited to Chinese student registration."

The dog also suggested very enthusiastically, "You let go of the registration conditions and allow Stanford students to register, don't you have thousands of users?

And then developed to other universities in the United States, and there are millions of users.

And they are all students, young people, everyone is definitely more keen to make friends. "

Xia Jingxing sucked in a breath of cold air, tilted his head and looked at the puppy, brother, did you also travel through?

The puppy was numb and touched his head unconfidently, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I think it makes sense."

Kristina also felt that the dog's suggestion was very good, he said to Xia Jingxing, "If you follow the dog's idea and achieve certain results, I can recommend investors to you."

Xia Jingxing was stunned, do you want to be so active?

Kristina thought that Xia Jingxing didn't believe in herself, and explained: "I know alumni who work in VC funds, and there are more than one.

As long as you have good projects, investors are not a problem. "

Xia Jingxing smashed, smashed his mouth, is this breaking the path of Xiao Mazi?

Although others were preaching loudly, Xia Jing Xing did not lose his mind.

He was sober.

There should be no problem with the website occupying Stanford.

But if you want to occupy the colleges and universities in the United States, there will definitely be problems in the middle.

In addition to their own identity, funding is also a problem.

The issue of funding can also be attributed to identity.

If you are a VC, do you vote for a foreign student? Will there be any hidden dangers?

If the development of the website is really smooth and the prospects are bright, then most of the VCs will ask to change the CEO, and they will become idle shareholders.

Or the VC asks for naturalization.

Even if you are naturalized, you will not be able to integrate into the white society. Yuan Zheng of Zoom is an example.

People haven't been naturalized quickly, they have been naturalized for more than 20 years, and they have been a senior executive at Cisco for many years, and they are not recognized.

No no no.

The best outcome is to make some money from it, and it is almost impossible to control the company.

And to make this money, at least the website must occupy the universities in the United States, otherwise there is no investment value or M\u0026A value.

"Daren, what's wrong with you?"

Kristina woke up Xia Jingxing, who was sleepwalking.

"Nothing, just thinking about your suggestion."

"So what do you think?" Christina asked.

"Very good idea, I was too narrow-minded before."

"Then have you decided to open registration to all people?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "Not for now, let's take Stanford first."

"real?"

The puppy is very happy, after all, adopting his own advice is also a kind of recognition for himself.

"That's right, lay the foundation first."

Kristina nodded and asked again, "Have you developed your website yet?"

"Come on, it's just a few days."

"Then you have to hurry up, school is about to start, it's a good time to promote users."

Christina kindly reminded.

"You're right, I'll hurry up."

Xia Jingxing's thoughts were a little chaotic at the moment, and he felt that he had to plan carefully.

And what I am planning now is to take one step at a time, and the future is uncertain.

After a while, three steaks were served.

The waiter kindly opened the red wine and poured it for the three of them.

Listening to the elegant sound of the violin, the three raised their wine glasses and touched a glass.

Christina said: "This cup, to celebrate everyone's acquaintance, and wish everyone a happy college life at Stanford."

After taking two mouthfuls of steak, Xia Jingxing also raised his glass and said, "After the website is launched, we may need more help from the two of you."

Christina smiled and said, "Are you planning to recruit us?"

"If you'd like to join, I'd be more than happy to."

Xia Jingxing was asking for money but no money, no one, if he could fool two people to work for free, he would definitely be willing.

As for how much benefit the website will have in the future, he can't be sure.

"let me consider it."

Christina is very clear-headed. There are not a few Stanford students starting businesses in school, and most of the waves have not turned up.

What Xia Jingxing has shown so far is not enough to attract him to join.

The little dog didn't have such a deep city, and he added two glasses of wine to his stomach, and the second-year junior was possessed, "If you don't dislike it, count me as one.

Don't underestimate me, I can program and repair computers. "

"You can still program?"

The puppy's face was blushing, and he felt that he was underestimated, "I will go back to the dormitory tonight, and let you taste my power."

Xia Jingxing felt a chill and waved his hands again and again, "No need, no need, I trust you."

After the meal, the puppy went to check out the bill very gentlemanly. The bill of more than 900 dollars made him aching for a while.

The three walked back to the dormitory together.
