Following Song Rushi, they entered the reserved room, sitting cross-legged on either side of the Tea Table. The soundproofing of the room was quite good, with only the faint sound of the wind drifting into their ears.
"As such, how did you discover such a nice place?" Jiang Yizhou was quite fond of this quiet atmosphere and continued to look around in surprise until they were seated.
Song Rushi patiently waited for the waiter to set up the tea utensils. After a smooth series of movements, she took the teapot and poured a cup for both Jiang Yizhou and herself.
"The tea here..."
Jiang Yizhou quickly interrupted Song Rushi's elaborate talk. As long as it wasn't unpleasant, he could hardly distinguish between different types of tea, let alone appreciate or taste it properly.
"No need for all that knowledge. Drinking tea is about the atmosphere; if you're thirsty, just gulp it down. Sitting quietly is for savoring, and after a meal, it's just to ease the palate. Let's just enjoy our tea in peace!"
Although Jiang Yizhou's reasoning was somewhat flawed, Song Rushi complied and kept quiet, sipping tea alongside him while occasionally making small talk.
"So, how far along are you now?" Jiang Yizhou naturally meant Song Rushi's entrepreneurial endeavors.
The young woman appeared somewhat troubled as she twirled her teacup. "Everyone lacks confidence. If it weren't for your investment, I wouldn't have had the confidence to get this far!"
Confidence? What results had they achieved? Generally, only two types of people—fools and madmen—would have confidence without any outcomes to show for it. And those were quite rare; madmen were in the majority, while Jiang Yizhou was an exception.
It was still dawn, a time of silence before the storm. Even with Jiang Yizhou's accelerated push, progress was only marginally faster because internet speeds were still a limiting factor. Only when the network situation improved to a certain level would corresponding opportunities and trends emerge.
"Have you thought about what kind of product you want to create? Friendships—what kind of friends? How to connect people who don't know each other but are suitable? And what about user engagement?" Jiang Yizhou set down his teacup and fired off several questions in quick succession, leaving Song Rushi somewhat bewildered.
"Are there really that many things to consider? I haven't thought that much; I just came back with Fei Yan." Even though she planned to start a business, Song Rushi hadn't actually prepared herself mentally for entrepreneurship.
The slightly naive young woman made him feel an urge to lean forward and gently stop her from biting her lip in thought.
"Do you know why venture capitalists don’t take ideas and do them themselves? Besides the risks, the most important thing is the idea itself. And the person who understands that idea best is the founder who proposed it!" Jiang Yizhou intended to give her a lesson.
Of course, what was mentioned above is limited to the Blue Ocean Era, which means that this field of creativity and entrepreneurship is still in a somewhat unclear period, and this idea does not require heavy capital or advanced technology to realize, such as big data or cloud computing.
Fortunately, we are currently in the era of Internet exploration, where basically every field is a blue ocean. Jiang Yizhou continued, "I wonder if you have come across the lassaes website?"
Lassaes is a website aimed at helping former classmates reconnect, from kindergarten through middle school to university. It was established in 1995 and gradually faded from people's sight around 2008, although it was not particularly popular, it still represented a hard demand among internet users.
In an era where communication relied mainly on letters and phone calls, losing contact with old classmates was all too easy; perhaps moving to a new home and forgetting to inform others of the new address could lead to losing touch entirely.
Later, the alumni directory, which gained immense popularity around the turn of the millennium, also stemmed from this demand among internet users and attracted a large number of users. It could indeed be seen as a great entrepreneurial opportunity.
"Lassaes? Is that a classmate website?" Song Rushi quickly understood and said, "I completed all my studies in China for my master's degree, and I still keep in touch with friends from that stage, so I haven't used this website."
"You should look into it; you'll find that this website has many merits. The demand for finding former classmates is quite substantial. Most people who can use a computer and access the internet have received some level of education,"
At least that's how it is now, Jiang Yizhou silently added in his mind and continued, "Starting from classmate relationships to attract users and then developing social circles—that's my idea!"
Song Rushi became more excited as she listened; she wanted to rush back to her office immediately to learn about the lassaes website that the man mentioned.
Sometimes many things are merely separated by a layer of window paper, but it takes a lot of time and numerous lessons to see through that layer. Creativity will always be one of humanity's most precious assets.
"What's wrong? Are you eager to create a Chinese version of lassaes?" Jiang Yizhou's words made Song Rushi quiet down. "Of course, we can't call creativity copying; it's called drawing inspiration."
"Let's go; my legs are getting a bit numb too. I'll accompany you!"
...
Picking up his clothes from the messy bed and floor, Jiang Yizhou felt somewhat tired and empty but had no regrets at all.
With a swift motion, he pulled open the curtains. The sun had already risen high, casting blinding sunlight onto the exposed shoulders of the woman under the blanket outside. Her face immediately wrinkled up as she shielded her eyes with her hand and shouted, "Yi Zhou, stop messing with me! Let me sleep a little longer! I have no strength at all right now!"
He pulled half of the curtain, placing the woman in shadow, and affectionately kissed Song Rushi on the cheek, smiling as he said, "Aren't you still strong enough to talk?"
"You still have the nerve! How did it go last night? You were supposed to help me come up with ideas and sort out future plans. And what happened? You ended up... here!" Song Rushi was furious just thinking about what happened last night.
Originally, they were supposed to go to the office, but seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yizhou coaxed her into going to his place. One step led to another, from just touching to cuddling, and after that, there was no need for further explanation.
Feeling proud of himself for achieving a situation where two women shared one man, Jiang Yizhou laughed heartily at the woman's angry accusations and then went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast.
Ding Zhengnan still had to work normally and wouldn't come over until after hours, so Jiang Yizhou wasn't worried about any potential awkwardness between the two women.
In his view, although the girl reluctantly accepted him out of fear of losing him, she wasn't open-minded enough yet to get along with Song Rushi like sisters. If they met, it would be like a collision of Mars and Earth.
"Why aren't you waiting obediently for me to bring it to you?" Jiang Yizhou felt the embrace from behind and turned around, teasing her.
