Chapter 92 Jiaotong University Gathering, Xiaohongshu Founder (Please Subscribe)

For Wang Weili, the 20-plus days of filming for Running Man felt like a vacation.

No matter what type of game it is, it doesn't pose any difficulty for him.

The production team, taking into account his exceptional physical abilities, added numerous mentally challenging games to the latter half of the recording, causing the other hosts to question not only their physical capabilities but also their intelligence.

When the filming of the first season of Running Man came to an end, Wang Weili could even feel their sincere joy when he said goodbye to the others.

He was still thinking to himself: Is it really that exaggerated?

The numerical monster may never understand the fear that ordinary people feel when they are dominated by him.

If we were to say who in the entire team would feel regret about the end, it would probably be Liu Shishi.

This can be seen from her improved skin during the show's recording; participating in Running Man truly brings joy to both body and mind.

After the filming of Running Man ended, the remaining editing, review, and sponsorship matters were handled by the main organizer, Blueberry TV. Wang Weili also received an invitation that had been mentioned earlier.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

Seeing the crowd at the entrance gradually calming down, Cai Haoyu couldn't help but urge, "Why don't you make a phone call and ask?"

He said he would come.

Liu Wei glanced at Chen Kai, who was surrounded by the crowd, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Cai Mi, are you envious of Lao Chen?"

"Hmm, a little bit."

Cai Haoyu adjusted his tie uncomfortably and asked, puzzled, "You know, we got investment from Willie much earlier, so why is the company's valuation still less than a fraction of Didi Chuxing's?"

"The companies are different in nature, and Didi also received investment from Ali."

Liu Wei glanced at Chen Kai, who was socializing with others, his gaze fixed on the champagne in Chen Kai's hand, where tiny bubbles lined up and rose upwards.

"As Lei Jun said, as long as you catch the right trend—"

"Pigs can fly?"

The voice was clear and crisp, and did not come from Cai Haoyu.

Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu were both startled and looked back together.

Wearing a diamond-blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a pair of loose-fitting linen trousers, Wang Weili appeared behind the two with a big smile on his face and without any attempt to conceal himself.

His attire made him look neither like a celebrity nor someone attending a business gathering.

Instead, it felt like a spontaneous decision to go out and find a hotel for dinner.

Having already noticed how uncomfortable the suit wasn't, Cai Haoyu, seeing how comfortable Wang Weili was dressed, couldn't help but say sourly, "Why aren't you wearing a suit?"

"What qualifies as formal attire? A tie, for example?"

Wang Weili glanced at Cai Haoyu's crooked tie, then reached out to help him adjust it.

Cai Haoyu was a little uncomfortable: "You can just teach me—"

"I heard everything you said about Chen Kai."

"6

Wang Weili suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Cai Haoyu's resistance suddenly stopped, and Liu Wei's amused expression turned serious.

While retying Cai Haoyu's tie, Wang Weili explained, "Whether it's the ride-hailing industry or the mobile game industry, they are both sub-sectors of the mobile internet."

"MiHoYo's development strategy is to be self-sufficient and not rely too much on capital, which is why you only accepted one round of investment from me."

"Kuaidi Dache's development strategy is to burn money to seize the market and use capital to buy time for development, which inevitably requires giving up a portion of the company's ownership."

Wang Weili gently tugged at the tie, letting it rest below Cai Haoyu's collarbone, much more comfortable than before.

He raised his eyelids and stared at Cai Haoyu with a smile in his eyes.

"Cai Mi, if you want the company's valuation to increase, I can help you contact other investment institutions —"

"Never mind! We're fine as we are."

Cai Haoyu waved his hand, indicating he didn't want to give up too many shares.

When they accepted Wang Weili's angel investment, the condition was that Wang Weili would not interfere in other aspects of the company and would only enjoy the right to dividends.

Such easy-going angel investors are rare in the entire capital market.

Wang Weili smiled slightly and casually adjusted his shoulder pads.

Liu Wei watched the interaction between the two with a strange expression. Actually, Cai Haoyu was the older one, but he seemed like a younger brother in front of Wang Weili.

Noticing the strange look in Liu Wei's eyes, Cai Haoyu quickly changed the subject, saying, "Willie, Chen Kai's a star over there! Why don't you go check him out?"

"Um?"

Wang Weili looked at Chen Kai, who was surrounded by people, with a slicked-back hairstyle and wearing a Hugo Boss suit, and thought he looked quite interesting.

"He usually stays up all night coding or listening to reports from middle management at the company. It's a rare moment of relaxation for him, so I don't want to steal his thunder."

"Is Chen Kai's life really that miserable?"

"Don't just see people eating meat and not see people getting beaten! Go take a closer look at how many blood vessels are in Chen Kai's eyes later. He probably hasn't slept more than 10 hours this week."

As he spoke, Wang Weili casually picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip, his movements elegant and relaxed.

If he were to become a CEO, he'd probably be losing half a pillowful of hair every morning like Chen Kai, and also suffer from night sweats, palpitations, and insomnia.

Wang Weili had experienced such hardship in his previous life and had figured it out; in this life, he just wanted to live a more comfortable life.

Hearing him say that, Cai Haoyu immediately understood Chen Kai's difficulties, and the slight resentment in his heart quietly disappeared.

Liu Wei chuckled to himself, thinking that all his earnest advice had been useless, but Wang Weili had resolved the issue in just a few words.

Tsk tsk, Cai Mi really is a cat!

"Hello, is this Wang Weili?"

A young man wearing a dark blue suit, with prominent ears, a buzz cut, and a somewhat roguish and handsome appearance, suddenly came over and greeted Wang Weili.

Wang Weili glanced at him and realized he wasn't from the same class. He then looked at Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei, who also shook their heads, indicating they weren't familiar with each other.

Upon seeing this, the newcomer introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Mao Wenchao, and I was Chen Kai's classmate in undergraduate studies!"

"Oh, hello."

Wang Weili shook hands with him, but didn't say much.

Mao Wenchao took the initiative to come over and say hello, but it wasn't just to get acquainted with him.

"Mr. Wang, actually, after graduating from Jiaotong University, I interned at Bain & Company, then worked in private equity for four years, and then got my MBA from Stanford. I recently returned to China to prepare for starting my own business."

"Hehe, I know why you came to find me."

Wang Weili smiled and looked at Mao Wenchao with a more serious gaze.

As a graduate of Jiaotong University, although he himself went on to become an actor and star, the companies he invested in, such as miHoYo and Kuaidi Dache, are both promising and high-quality companies.

Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Chen Kai are all graduates of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

This made Wang Weili's reputation spread among Jiaotong University entrepreneurs.

Even though Mao Wenchao had no prior contact with Wang Weili, he was able to take the initiative to approach him based on what he had heard.

Mao Wenchao has already presented his resume, demonstrating his experience in financial information companies and private equity firms, and also mentioning his MBA from Stanford University, noting that Silicon Valley is right next to Stanford.

Wang Weili gave him a deep look, then said to Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei, "I'll go over and talk to him alone."

Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei nodded, indicating that they should do as they pleased.

Wang Weili gestured to Mao Wenchao to invite him, and then walked to a quiet corner of the venue where no one would disturb him.

Mao Wenchao quickly followed, still reciting the lines he had rehearsed in advance.

Once the two reached the corner, Wang Weili cut to the chase: "So, tell me! Which foreign app are you planning to copy?"

"Forehead----"

Mao Wenchao's CPU was directly shut down by this.

Wang Weili stared at him intently, without embellishing his words.

If an entrepreneur doesn't even have the courage to admit to imitation, but instead cherishes a worthless sense of pride, then their initial score will be significantly reduced.

After a few seconds of pause, Mao Wenchao finally came to his senses and touched his nose.

"My startup project is inspired by the currently popular Instagram; it's a content platform for sharing images and text."

"Is there anything to watch?"

"Our web version is finished and currently in the internal testing phase. Mr. Wang, can you view it on your mobile phone?"

"Can."

Wang Weili took Mao Wenchao's phone and looked down at the webpage he had opened.

Wow, Little Red Book!

Wang Wei glanced at Mao Wenchao out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself: Not every internet founder likes to cultivate a personal brand.

Mao Wenchao didn't notice the subtle change in Wang Weili's expression; he just continued explaining the project to himself.

"Mr. Wang, the content platform we're developing is called Xiaohongshu. It combines social networking and lifestyle sharing attributes, and we might add local lifestyle features like restaurant reviews and check-ins later."

Do you have any plans to develop a mobile app?

Upon learning that the project was Xiaohongshu, Wang Weili's doubts instantly diminished, and he began to show interest.

Mao Wenchao was overjoyed and continued to explain, "We don't have any plans to launch a mobile app yet. We might start working on that after we secure our angel round funding."

"Um, could you give me an invitation code? I'd like to try it out myself; we can talk about investing later."

The beta version of the website requires an invitation code to log in.

Investments can't be secured just by talking. If Wang Wei finds the beta version of the software acceptable, he will naturally arrange to meet with Mao Wenchao for further discussions.

Although Wang Weili was basically certain that the Maowenchao project would be successful, the necessary procedures still needed to be followed.

Mao Wenchao, who had experience working in private equity, understood the meaning behind Wang Weili's words and was overjoyed.

"Mr. Wang, let me add you on WeChat and send you the invitation code."

"Okay, scan me."

Wang Weili opened the QR code and let him scan it to add him.

Just as the two had added each other as friends, Chen Kai, who was being praised and was feeling quite smug at the other end of the venue, was unwittingly put on a pedestal.

"Mr. Chen, Ali invested in two rounds of funding for Kuaidi Dache, so you should have met Mr. Ma, right?"

"Yes, we met back in the Series A round!"

"Then you must have Mr. Ma's contact information, right?"

"this----"
