Rebirth 2002: Nano Life

A few hours later, Chen Yizhe received a call from Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Why do you have so much money?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked straight to the point as soon as he answered the phone.

"I said it was my Baidu shareholder, but you don't believe me!" Chen Yizhe replied with a smile.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Lin Xiaoxiao's slightly moved voice came over, "Chen Yizhe, no matter what, thank you this time, thank you for trusting me so much."

"You're welcome, it's you and I who borrowed it." After all, Lin Xiaoxiao was also one of his few friends of the same age.

"But I'm curious why you want such a large amount of money?" Chen Yizhe asked. The two million in 2005 can buy two thousand-foot mansions in the center of Pengcheng.

"Hey, I couldn't explain it on the phone for a while. I'll talk to you in detail when I come to Pengcheng for a while." Lin Xiaoxiao said with a sigh, her tone a bit lonely.

"Okay, then welcome the driver!" Chen Yizhe didn't ask any further.

According to Chen Yizhe's understanding, Lin Xiaoxiao's family background is actually good. His father, Lin Peng, is a senior political and legal official in Weishan City. Fengba City is an urban area under the jurisdiction of Weishan City. Lin Xiaoxiao's mother works in the Women's Federation of Weishan City. Logically speaking, although Lin Xiaoxiao's family is not very rich, it is more expensive than ordinary people.

In the past two years, Chen Yizhe has been talking with Lin Xiaoxiao on the Internet, and I dare not say that he has a full understanding of her, but at least he can know what her character is like. With her character and family background, it would suddenly be a family accident to borrow 2 million and 100 percent.

But since the other party didn't say anything, Chen Yizhe wouldn't deliberately ask what happened. When the other party wants to say it, they will naturally say it clearly.

Moreover, 2 million is only a small amount for him now. If it is possible to use 2 million to know the true face of a friend, it is still a very cost-effective thing for Chen Yizhe!

Throughout June, Chen Yizhe was still relatively busy. In addition to participating in Baidu's listing as a major shareholder, the personal interview promised to "Nanfang Daily" last year will also be held this month.

Moreover, Xiameng Electronics will release new products next month, and the company and factories are making intensive preparations this month.

On June 21, "Nanfang Daily" devoted a full page to the current situation section, with the title of "Innovation to Change New Life: Let Chinese Products Lead the World", conducted an in-depth interview with the founder of Xiameng Group. Its well-known companies, Xiameng Electronics, and Xiameng Display's products and technologies have carried out in-depth reports, which have attracted strong attention from the domestic public and media.

There are numerous reports about Xia Meng Electronics, but the introduction to the founder of Xia Meng Group is always secretive. This time, it is the first time that the founder of Xia Meng has officially appeared in media reports.

The following is the text of the report:

Innovation, entrepreneurship, and struggle are always the themes of the young generation. Faced with this word, today's post-70s and post-80s have more contradictions, the choice between ideals and reality, and the wandering between opportunities and traps. How should today's young people choose what kind of entrepreneurship and struggle path?

Today, we are honored to invite the founder of Xia Meng Group. I believe that many people in China are curious about what kind of person the founder of Xia Meng Group is. When I received the assignment for this exclusive interview, as a reporter, I was also expecting and nervous.

Entering the Xiameng Group in Nanshan Science and Technology Park, the corridor is paved with a red runway, welcoming guests like a warm fire. This is not only a passageway, but also a runway for employees to exercise after work. Hanging on the wall of the corridor is the corporate culture display board. The core concepts of corporate culture and famous quotes of "inclusiveness, openness, freedom and sharing", "creating new products and changing new lives" inspire employees.

The decoration of the general manager's office is very simple and spacious. White walls and black sofas, black desk chairs and green plants are all the items in the office. Outside the glass wall is a blue sky, and the boss of Xia Meng Group is sitting at the desk, facing the computer to handle affairs. He was wearing a black slim fit casual suit and brown leather shoes. After seeing the reporter and his party entering, he stood up, generous and indifferent.

His surname is Chen. He is the founder and CEO of Xiameng Group. Here, let's call him President Chen.

As the idol of many people in China, Mr. Chen has created appalling profits in just a few years, and this has also inspired a generation of young people. What made him choose the path of entrepreneurship? What does the world look like in his eyes? Does he encourage young people to start businesses?

In this issue, we will have a conversation with Mr. Chen, the founder of Xiameng Group. He will use his struggles and messages to young people to interpret entrepreneurship and the world in his eyes.

Nanfang Daily: Can you talk about your student days, is there any experience that has influenced your current career and choice?

Mr. Chen: My student years were very short, and I dropped out in the first semester of high school. However, the reason for dropping out was not my poor reading. In the final exam of the first semester of high school, my grades ranked first in the school, several points higher than the second, but I dropped out for some reason. I would like to emphasize that even if I drop out of school, it will not change my thirst for knowledge, and I am still constantly recharging myself.

My hometown is a coastal town in the eastern part of Guangdong Province, and the classroom learning in the small town school did not bring much happiness to the students, instead they were very anxious. Because they are located in backward areas, young people actually do not have many career choices. Once they fail the college entrance examination, they can only go to farming or go to work in big cities. In their hometown, many people actually drop out of school before finishing junior high school. .

When I was young, I liked watching the Japanese animation "Ding-dong" very much. At that time, my mind was actually full of endless fantasies. Therefore, since I was a child, I liked to do strange things by myself.

And one day, I made a simple experiment with tape and graphite very accidentally, and then I discovered the existence of graphene, a magical material. And when I wrote the process of discovery and sent it to many colleges and universities, and only Professor Fu Weiqiang from the National University of Science and Technology wrote back to me and came to the school to find me in person, this also gave graphene a chance to be known by the world. Here Thanks to Professor Fu Weiqiang.

It is precisely because of the discovery of graphene that I started the idea of ​​starting a business.

Nanfang Daily: I have long heard that Xiameng Electronics has a deep relationship with the discoverer of graphene, because many of Xiameng Electronics' products are closely related to graphene materials. At present, graphene, a "universal material", is being studied at home and abroad, but apart from you, it seems that no company has been able to bring graphene materials to the market, or this is Xia Meng's company secret. But I also want to ask Mr. Chen, what makes you have the technology that leads the world?

Mr. Chen: It's actually very simple, just do what you like and turn your fantasy into reality. In fact, many people have very wonderful ideas, but they will never take the step from thinking to do, so ideas are always ideas. And I am different, I will try my best to verify it with experiments, which may be the reason why I can put graphene materials on the market ahead of schedule.

Nanfang Daily: College students born in the 1980s have begun to enter the workplace. If you were to recruit some young people, what qualities would you expect them to have?

Mr. Chen: I hope they can break through cognitive limitations. In my opinion, what university learns is just a way of learning, and the knowledge in many university books has actually been unable to keep up with the pace of social changes, so even if you graduate from university, you should continue to read books and learn newer knowledge. This should be recognized.

Moreover, I also suggest that college students should not be too utilitarian in their creation and innovation, have pure motives, focus on doing things, and constantly enrich themselves.

read more, walk more. Don't blame others, go out more and take a good look at the world, you haven't even seen the world, where does the world view come from? Combine reading with practice and create opportunities to broaden your horizons.

Nanfang Daily: Mr. Chen, you also founded Xiameng Electronics when you were very young. What advice do you have for young people and college students?

Mr. Chen: I think that advocating college students' entrepreneurship is a questionable statement. What are the advantages of college students' entrepreneurship? Actually thinking about it, no.

Moreover, many college students now start their own business, in fact, more of "desire as an ideal", their utilitarianism is very strong, and their vision is relatively short-sighted. In fact, they have absolutely no idea what products consumers or even their own hearts want, how strong their competitors are, and who their competitors are. The limitations of this cognition have led to the failure of many people to start a business and the difficulty of starting a business. Therefore, I hold a conservative attitude towards college students' entrepreneurship.

Nanfang Daily: From Xiameng Electronics to Xiameng Group, do you have any good suggestions and opinions for domestic enterprises?

Mr. Chen: In the past, the domestic awareness of intellectual property protection was weak, especially the start-up companies, busy with the operation of products, markets, talents and funds, and often ignored the importance of product development and technical personnel. Companies often start to pay attention to this issue when they are in the middle and late stages of development.

In Xiameng Group, more than 80% of the employees are technicians, and the training of technical staff, so that employees can grow with the company, is also what Xiameng Group has been pursuing.

I have been emphasizing one point with my employees. Maybe many companies take the pursuit of profit as their first goal, but today’s Xia Meng is different. The pursuit of self-satisfaction and the pursuit of product-to-user experience have become the company’s primary goal.

I have always believed that only technologically innovative companies with the most development direction and space in the future, and only technologically innovative companies can change human life.

Nanfang Daily: Xia Meng Electronics has not launched any new products since it was launched last year. Does Xia Meng Electronics have any plans for this year?

Mr. Chen: In fact, as early as last year, the company has been preparing for the project of new products. Years ago, the engineering machine of the product had already come out. It’s just that my requirements for the product have always been very strict, especially I have always emphasized the user experience of the product. Therefore, the launch date of this new product has been pushed back by me, in order to create a better product for users. .

At the beginning of this month, the product was officially finalized, and now you can tell all consumers who are waiting for Xia Meng's new products in advance, Xia Meng will launch a new product launch at the end of next month, and the specific time will be It will be announced at the beginning of next month, and everyone can pay attention to it. I can assure you that this new product decision will not let you down.

…

At the bottom of the long report, there are a few paragraphs that read:

Xiameng Group's well-developed subsidiaries are not only Xiameng Electronics and Xiameng Display, its ATL has a huge influence in the lithium battery industry, Yide is constantly making precision instruments for Xiameng and even domestic enterprises, Xinke's filter water core It is also slowly infiltrating the lives of the domestic people...

Xiameng Group is indeed, as President Chen hoped, is taking a step by step on the road of improving people's entry into a better life.

In last year's customs export data, Xia Meng Electronics Co., Ltd. exported nearly 740,000 units of its first and second generation products, and achieved sales of US$260 million. Xiameng's ink screen and color electronic paper exports are close to 150,000 square meters, with sales exceeding 1.7 billion US dollars.

Coincidentally, the day before the exclusive interview, the 19th domestic top 100 electronic information companies were newly released, and Xia Meng showed that the sales of exports alone exceeded the 12.2 billion yuan operating income of the 13th-ranked Konka Group. Although Xia Mengxiu did not declare this year's top 100 electronic information enterprises, there is no doubt that Xia Mengxiu has the strength to enter the top ten national electronic information enterprises.

Let the world hear China and let the world see China, Xia Meng Electronics and Xia Meng Display are changing the lives of people at home and abroad step by step. We sincerely hope that Xiameng Group will launch more new products on the market, and we also hope that there will be more companies like Xiameng Group, going out into the world and letting the world experience China!

As the leading newspaper industry in Guangdong Province, Nanfang Daily has become the mainstream political and economic media in South China with its irreplaceable authority and credibility. The newspapers in this issue of Chen Yizhe, as expected by the Nanfang Daily, are selling well in the entire southern China. Even so, the newspapers are still out of stock.

Although the identity of the founder of Xia Meng Group is not revealed, only the surname is Chen, and he is very young, but there is still an important clue revealed.

Many people specifically looked for Fu Weiqiang's paper "Electric Field Effect of Atom-Thin Carbon Films" submitted to the scientific journal. The name of the first author in it reads: Chen Yizhe.

Once the news was reported by the media, people all over the country were looking for someone named Chen Yizhe around them.

Pengcheng, Haijixing Agricultural Market.

Chen Hua's fruit business has developed very well in the past two years. He has rented a larger storefront and hired six or seven workers in the store.

Chen Hua, who was drinking tea with customers in the store, suddenly heard the voice of his wife Huang Guiyue.

"Chen Hua, Chen Hua, it's incredible!" Before I saw anyone, I heard Huang Guiyue's voice. After a few seconds, I saw Huang Guiyue holding several newspapers in his hand, walking quickly into the store, while Walking and breathing.

"What's wrong?" Chen Hua asked in a deep voice. He has made money in the past two years, and he is much calmer and more capable than before, and he will no longer be obedient.

"Chen Hua, look, look... this newspaper!" Huang Guiyue gasped and handed a newspaper to Chen Hua.

"What's so good about this newspaper?" Chen Hua said so, but he still took the newspaper and read it.

I saw the headline on the top of the newspaper: "CEO of Xiameng Group, major shareholder of Baidu, Chen Yizhe! ! 》

Chen Hua's hand trembled, and the newspaper was almost torn by him.

Because the Nanfang Daily he bought a few days ago contained an exclusive interview with the CEO of Xia Meng Group.

A high school dropout, a native of eastern Guangdong Province, surnamed Chen, if only these three conditions are met, it is indeed very similar to his son.

That day, Huang Guiyue laughed at him, "The information about this man in the newspaper is quite consistent with your son, but even if it is really your son, we probably won't get anything. Think about your son, in the past two years, except for the New Year, When you come to sit at home during the festival, I feel that it is not as good as distant relatives!"

At that time, Chen Hua glared at her, "Will distant relatives give us one million when we are poor? Distant relatives will only appear by our side when we are rich!"

The client beside Chen Hua stretched his head to read the news, and then asked strangely, "Brother Chen, do you know the boss of this Xiameng Group?"

Huang Guiyue rolled her eyes and said first, "I know, but I don't know very well. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that he is the boss of Xia Meng Group!"

She and Chen Hua didn't know about Xia Meng Group until they read the newspaper. Otherwise, how could the two who have been busy in the fruit shop from morning till night know how huge Xia Meng Group is.

After the client left, Huang Guiyue said to Chen Hua, "You call Yi Zhe and ask if the person the newspaper said is really him."

Chen Hua glanced at Huang Guiyue and said, "What's the use of asking? Is it meaningful?"

"What's the point? You're stupid, do you want our son and daughter to sell fruit in the future?" Huang Guiyue shouted fiercely. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"We sell fruit. Will my son and daughter sell fruit in the future? And is it not good to sell fruit? We can make one or two million a year now!" Chen Hua said.

"One or two million, Yizhe is now one or two million per minute! Even a fool knows whether it is better to sell fruit or do business with Yizhe!"

"No matter how small the business is, it's also his own. And Yizhe can start a business with nothing, so why can't two small ones? Anyway, I won't be able to make phone calls, I have to call you!"

"Chen Hua, you are really useless to be an old man!"

"It's useless, Chen Yizhe is also my son!"

Well, the two in-laws who hadn't quarreled for a long time quarreled again, and the reason for the quarrel was quite ridiculous.

…

Fengba, Lingshan Middle School.

After the college entrance examination, Li Li did not say that she could take a vacation, she still needed to go back to school to deal with affairs every day.

"Mr. Li, in the first year of high school, did you teach a student named Chen Yizhe?" Suddenly, a teacher who taught high school politics walked over to Li Li's desk and asked.

Before Li Li could answer, the math teacher beside him replied, "Chen Yizhe, I still remember that when he took the mid-term exam in the first semester of high school, he got full marks in several subjects. It's a pity that Principal Lin handled it too badly at that time. That's right, the top students of Tsinghua University and Peking University were actually dismissed by him."

"Hey, now it seems that our school has not only lost a top student from Tsinghua University and Peking University, you look at this newspaper!"
