After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy

Ji Wenchuan is 26 years old this year. He looks and dresses like a typical science and engineering guy. It has been four years since he graduated from Jingcheng University with a degree in computer science. He has worked for several Internet companies in China.

But whether it was due to bad luck or the influence of the overall industry environment, these companies, big and small, went bankrupt one after another. Some of them simply did not match his philosophy and he could not work for them for a long time.

Later, his hometown city of Zhengzhou launched policy support to encourage college students to return home to start businesses, so he returned with a few friends to start a startup company.

After receiving the government grants, they were all filled with enthusiasm, especially when they saw their ideas being implemented and slowly taking shape. The sense of accomplishment was like a shot of adrenaline for them, making them extremely excited.

But this happiness did not last long, and they soon faced the problem of insufficient funds. The initial investment of Internet startups, no matter which field they are subdivided into, is undoubtedly huge, and the risks are uncontrollable.

Some people suggested selling the project, some quit the team and chose to go back to graduate school or take the civil service exam, and some people, like him, persisted in looking for investment companies.

At first, many bosses were very interested in his project, but they shook their heads after hearing about the funds needed in the later stage.

There were also some short-sighted people who criticized his project as worthless and even claimed that he would never succeed in his life.

Ji Wenchuan never refuted those voices because he knew that it would be futile to say anything before results were produced.

In the past year, he has visited numerous investment companies, and at peak times he would visit four or five a day. Some bosses were willing to try, but they were afraid to invest too much, so the project survived for a while.

At a high school reunion two days ago, he learned that a classmate worked in a newly opened investment company, so he thought about giving it a try.

Although the company does not seem to be large in scale, he found that the employees here are very positive, giving people a sense of prosperity and growth, and the atmosphere is very good.

He is also the boss, so he understands that this kind of scene is absolutely inseparable from the managers behind the scenes.

"Our boss is relatively young, and he may resonate with your ideas. I am quite optimistic about you."

Hearing the encouragement from his classmates, Ji Wenchuan, who was carrying a heavy briefcase, smiled bitterly and nodded solemnly.

After a year of running into obstacles everywhere, he had already learned to lower his expectations, because the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

After pushing open the door, Ji Wenchuan was stunned when he saw the little girl sitting in the boss chair.

Did he enter the right door? Or is this the boss's daughter? No way...it really is the boss!

Although his classmates had given him a heads-up in advance, Ji Wenchuan still didn't react immediately. He thought that the so-called young meant being about his age, and never thought it would be this age.

"Ji Wenchuan?!" Even though Shen Shu was usually calm and composed, he became uncalm after seeing the person in front of him.

Because this person is the founder of the most popular short video software in the future! He is also the founder of Wanle Group, one of the top 500 companies in the world!

Speaking of which, they had met once in their previous life. In 2024, she represented the Koenigsegg team in the F1 Grand Prix in Shanghai. After the race, the two took a photo together at a gathering of bigwigs from all sides.

But the Ji Wenchuan she met at that time was already forty years old, with a successful career and a happy family, and even white hair appeared on his head.

I never thought that in my next life, I would get to see a younger version of him, and most importantly, him when he was just starting out in his career!

It’s not that she didn’t think about short videos when she was making investment plans, but she felt that the current social environment was not strong enough to support the arrival of this era of information explosion, so she wanted to wait two years before entering this industry.

Now it seems that she was a little conservative in her thinking. It turned out that Ji Wenchuan had already started experimenting.

No matter how shocked she was, Shen Shu remained calm. She raised her hand and motioned for him to sit down. After Jia Zhenzhen sorted out the documents, she understood the signal and walked out of the office.

"You...you know me?" After Ji Wenchuan recovered from the fact that Shen Shu was too young, he realized that she had just called out his name accurately.

He raised his hand and pointed at himself in confusion, then looked at Shen Shu with some puzzlement.

“I’ve heard about your project.”

Shen Shu curled her lips and found a not-so-bad excuse. She couldn't possibly say, I know you when you're in your forties, a dozen years from now.

Ji Wenchuan's eyes lit up, which showed that she was quite interested in this project, which comforted his depressed mood which had lasted for many days.

After the two parties briefly exchanged business cards, Ji Wenchuan couldn't wait to take out his laptop and a thick stack of documents and skillfully began to present the project.

"The computer software we developed is called Daily Information, which aims to provide users with convenient and useful information in various areas of interest, with pictures, texts and videos as the main presentation methods."

"Users can like, comment and interact with each other through private messages. We have just been in the market for a year, and the number of active users in the past six months is around 200,000."

"In the future, we will expand the algorithm and expand and refine more industry sectors. We will also launch a large module in the software, which I will temporarily classify as entertainment videos, where users can post their daily life sharing, funny jokes and knowledge sharing of various industries, etc."

"..."

Ji Wenchuan's eyes were shining, especially when he talked about his ideas for future development, his tone was full of excitement.

Shen Shu knew what he was talking about even without looking at his computer interface. She was from that era, so she knew what this project meant.

She took a sip of the warm coffee on the table, with the corners of her mouth slightly curled up as she listened to him finish his story.

The predecessor of Wanle Short Video Software was a daily news app that mainly published news and knowledge. After 2016, entertainment videos were separated from the large module of daily news and became an independent software - Wanle Short Video.

Wanle can be said to have led an entire era in later generations. Its software has become popular all over the world and has nearly 16 billion monthly active users.

The reason why Wanle has been able to rise among so many short video software in later generations is due to its user algorithm called "Thousand Faces for Thousands of People".

After Ji Wenchuan finished speaking, he quietly waited for Shen Shu to express her opinion. The entertainment video module was conceived by him in the last two months, and it was not until last week that he sorted out a complete module, so this was the first time he talked about it to investors.

He knew the potential of this module, but he also knew that it was impossible to get it right from the start. Ji Wenchuan wanted to attract investment first and build Today's Information.

"I won't invest in your project."

Shen Shu put down the coffee cup in his hand and spoke in a calm and composed tone.
