Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

"Cai Mi, do you think Wang Weili will come?"

He said he would come.

Cai Haoyu glanced towards the entrance. The opening ceremony of miHoYo wasn't grand, and there wouldn't be many people coming today.

The young man who had just asked him the question said worriedly, "He recently terminated his contract with Sugarman. Even if he invests in miHoYo, he'll try to avoid appearing in public, right?"

"What you said makes sense."

Cai Haoyu's attempt to please him not only failed to gain the young man's approval, but also caused him to show a panicked expression.

Cai Haoyu laughed: "Just kidding! Wang Weili will definitely do what he promises. Last year he said he would invest in miHoYo, and now he really did!"

"Speaking of which, is being a celebrity really that lucrative? Can someone come up with two million right after graduating from university?"

"What does this have to do with being a celebrity? He made that money trading foreign exchange!"

"Then he should have the money to invest in my project, right?"

Chen Kai pushed up his glasses and said with anticipation.

He and Cai Haoyu were classmates in college. After graduating, he went to Stanford to pursue a master's degree. This year, after graduating with his master's degree, he returned to China with a passion to start his own business. However, before he had even finished half of the budget given to him by his family, he had no choice but to try to attract investment.

After experiencing several rejections from venture capitalists, Chen Kai learned about miHoYo, founded by Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei, from other classmates.

After some communication, he learned about the financial backers behind miHoYo, which gave him the idea of ​​investing with Wang Weili.

Cai Haoyu comforted Chen Kai for a few moments, then continued looking towards the door: "Strange, why isn't there a single person wearing a mask?"

"Face mask?"

"Yeah! Wang Weili is a celebrity after all; even if he comes here, he'll have to do some disguise, right?"

"Is that the one wearing sunglasses?"

Chen Kai pointed to a young man who had just come in from the door.

Cai Haoyu glanced at it: "No, the hairstyle is wrong, the skin isn't that fair, and the nose isn't that straight..."

Hello, Cai Mi!

"Um???"

Cai Haoyu stared wide-eyed at Wang Weili as he approached, only confirming his presence when Wang Weili lowered his sunglasses.

"What happened to you??"

"I just put on some makeup and used some silicone face masks, don't make such a fuss."

Wang Weili waved his hand, signaling not to make such a commotion.

He acquired his makeup skills from his first role as an assassin, a former special forces soldier, who was already adept at changing his appearance.

In addition to changing his appearance, Wang Weili also changes his posture, gait, and behavioral habits...

Small details are what define a person's identity, which is why paparazzi can still recognize celebrities even when they're wearing masks.

Wang Weili's demeanor was now more aloof than usual, his posture was exceptionally upright, and he exuded the aura of a cold-faced killer even without uttering a word.

Cai Haoyu looked him over carefully for a moment: "You're playing an assassin in your next film?"

"I suppose so, this one?"

"Hello, my name is Chen Kai. I also graduated from Jiaotong University, in the same year as Cai Mi."

"Oh, it's you, senior. Hello."

Wang Weili and Chen Kai shook hands, and that was it; they became acquainted.

After the handshake ended, Wang Weili was about to ask Liu Wei where they were when Chen Kai gave Cai Haoyu a wink.

"Ahem, well, Willie, Chen Kai is actually also an internet entrepreneur."

"Really?"

Wang Weili glanced at Chen Kai, then asked in a cooperative tone, "I wonder what direction your startup is going to take, senior?"

"Mobile Internet lifestyle applications."

Chen Kai answered quickly, speaking as if he had already chewed those words in his mouth.

Wang Weili asked, "Which track specifically?"

"Provide users with online ride-hailing services to solve pain points such as users being unable to hail a ride and unclear driver charges."

"Is this a ride-hailing service?"

"Ride-hailing...that's a very accurate name!"

Chen Kai's eyes lit up as if he had grasped some crucial information.

Wang Weili looked at him seriously: "What stage has your project reached? Do you have an app yet?"

"We have launched a beta version of the app, which is mainly distributed in several universities, and the number of registered users is approaching 10,000."

"Does it have a name?"

"Taxi on campus".

When talking about his project, Chen Kai seemed very excited and wanted to speak freely.

However, after hearing that this was not the ride-hailing app he was familiar with, Wang Weili seemed somewhat uninterested.

"Does 'campus ride-hailing' mean you only operate within the campus area?"

"This is the current plan. I intend to expand the software to other universities in the Yangtze River Delta region after it has covered universities in Shanghai, just like Facebook... I have prepared a business plan. Would you like to take a look?"

Chen Kai's gaze was intense and sincere. He took the so-called business plan out of his backpack, indicating that he had prepared it in advance.

Wang Weili glanced at Cai Haoyu and gave him a helpless expression.

"Senior Chen, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"Okay, um, Cai Mi?"

"Let's talk in my office."

Cai Haoyu was already very skilled at being a broker on his first try.

Wang Weili was flipping through the business plan, while Chen Kai sat nervously opposite him, his gaze constantly shifting between Wang Weili and the business plan.

Cai Haoyu needed to greet other people, so only the two of them were in the office at that moment.

With a snap, Wang Weili closed the business plan and looked up at Chen Kai.

"Senior Chen, can I just say what I want to say?"

"sure."

"There are some parts of your business plan that appeal to me, such as: Alipay will launch its mobile app at the China Internet Conference next month, starting to promote offline payments. This is indeed good news for ride-hailing services, but..."

"But what?"

Under Wang Weili's gaze, Chen Kai couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Wang Weili tapped twice on the business plan: "Is your startup project a direct copy of Uber?"

"right."

"Is the business model that started in college simply a copy of Facebook?"

"right."

"Then it won't work."

Wang Weili handed the business plan back to Chen Kai, thinking to himself that there are countless geniuses who can see the trend, but most of them will become cannon fodder that no one will remember.

How many companies can survive to the end like miHoYo and grow into a leader in the industry?

The recently concluded group-buying war resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of companies, leaving only three survivors—an average probability of one in several thousand.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Kai's campus ride-hailing service will become one of the thousands of ride-hailing services that will compete in the future.

"Why can't it succeed?"

Chen Kai found it hard to accept; as an entrepreneur, he needed to have full confidence in his project.

His confidence was questioned, so his instinct was to retaliate.

Wang Weili didn't mind being questioned.

"Facebook's business model works because social interaction is a basic human need, and its products don't require users to spend money; free is the first principle of the internet. You can go to Stanford to study, which means your family is very well-off, but do you know that 90% of college students can't afford to take a taxi?"

"They will eventually graduate and start working..."

Chen Kai tried to salvage the situation, but Wang Wei used a single sentence to kill the game.

"By then, your software was already dead."
