Chapter 300 This is an era where appearance matters
"Tell me about it!" Yang Huan was a little excited in his heart, but he appeared calm on the surface.
Are you kidding? Who am I?
I was scared by just a few words from you. Do I, Yang Huan, still need to hang out?
That Sean Rad was looking at Yang Huan the whole time, laughing.
"After all, Snapchat is a social tool for people who know each other, and that is its biggest weakness and bottleneck!"
Sean Rader's words moved everyone present.
If you think about it carefully, it’s true!
If it’s not between acquaintances, who would burn the message after reading it?
Especially those restricted photos!
"You're right, continue!" Yang Huan still looked calm.
In fact, it’s not just messages that burn after reading, WeChat is also a social tool for people among acquaintances.
Sean Rad knew he had passed the first level and laughed again.
"All social tools these days have more or less some characteristics of strangers making friends at first. Facebook started out this way. WeChat also launched the two major features of "People Nearby" and "Shake", which also have similar purposes."
In Yang Huan's definition, this is the legendary one-night stand.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. For example, with the earliest QQ, whether you admit it or not, most people’s online romances are caused by chatting on QQ.
"This is also an era where looks are everything. Handsome men and beautiful women are definitely more popular!"
Speaking of this, this guy still looked very smug.
It seems that he consciously classifies himself as a handsome guy.
"Wow, how shameless!"
"With that face full of stubble, you're still considered a handsome guy?"
"If this guy is handsome, then what am I?"
There was a heated discussion in the WeChat group.
This group of second-generation rich members are obviously not convinced!
Not only them, but even several people present were somewhat dissatisfied, especially Cash Harris, who had the worst image.
Damn it, if I were taller and thinner, I’d be more handsome than you!
Yang Huan saw that the atmosphere was a bit strange and laughed, "Go on, hurry up, let's get straight to the point!"
After hearing this, Sean Rad immediately stopped smiling and nodded, saying, "Like I said, I want to make a dating app."
"The application is very simple. To register, users only need a Facebook or WeChat account and a photo, as well as age, name, and sexual orientation. The server will then recommend several people within a certain distance based on the user's geographic location, and the user can then choose whether to like them or not."
"If you like each other, you can send messages to each other, communicate further, or even arrange a meeting."
Yang Huan became interested when he heard it.
This guy is too simple, rough and direct, not subtle at all.
This app is telling you directly that you should use it for dating and making friends.
In this case, let’s not be too subtle and just be direct. Look at the photos and start chatting if we like each other!
Only this kind of sultry and perverted person can come up with such an idea!
Today is the era of mobile Internet. Whoever has more active users will be the king!
This kind of dating and socializing software belongs exactly to this category.
The idea is a great one, and it is not difficult to develop. WeChat has accumulated a lot of rich experience in user experience, so for WeChat, the whole thing is just adding another project team.
Judging from the current situation where the app is extremely popular, the future of this dating and socializing app is not bad.
Worth the investment!
But, this person...
Sean Rad was obviously very confident in his creativity. Even before he walked into the room, he had already had an idea in his mind. When Yang Huan heard his brilliant idea, he would definitely be amazed.
Then they immediately promised to invest in him, make him the general manager, promote him to CEO, and in the future he would marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman and reach the peak of his life. Just thinking about it, I really feel a little excited!
But who would have thought that after he finished speaking about his creative ideas, the room fell into deathly silence.
Yang Huan said nothing, and the others didn't say anything either.
He was somewhat surprised by the silent atmosphere.
What's going on?
what is going on?
Is this okay, boss?
He started to panic!
Could it be that this so-called great idea is nothing more than my own self-righteousness?
Is it really not possible?
Especially when he saw Yang Huan click his tongue twice and shook his head, he became even more frustrated and depressed.
It seems that there is really no hope!
But at this moment, Yang Huan sighed and said something that made him very excited.
“The idea is good, but just like you said, there is only one idea and nothing else!”
When Sean Rad heard this, he thought he was going to be sentenced to death!
"But I like you. Tell me how much the initial investment is and I'll invest!"
Sean Rad suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Huan in disbelief, and laughed.
"Vote? Are you really voting?" At this moment, he was full of surprise.
This is exactly the effect Yang Huan wanted. He couldn’t let his subordinates be too proud, right?
Then how can I continue to be a boss in the future?
"How much?"
"Not much, one hundred thousand, oh no, fifty thousand pounds will be enough!"
"Well, I will set up an independent company and you will be the CEO. I will provide you with 500,000 pounds of funding, people and resources, and you will develop this app!"
"Really?" Sean Rad was so excited that he couldn't believe it.
Half a million pounds for research and development?
Wow, he’s so rich, isn’t he?
"As for your salary, you set it yourself. Just set the amount you think you deserve!"
Yang Huan's words surprised Sean Rad again.
He felt like he had ascended from hell back to heaven, so happy!
There are still such bosses these days, who allow you to start your own business with your own salary?
Can you open more?
But soon, he remembered the frustration and loss he had just felt.
It is not easy to attract investment, find a good job, and meet a good boss.
It’s better to concentrate on achieving some results first.
Master Yi Huan is so generous. With his achievements, why would he be afraid of not getting a high salary?
…………
…………
It should be the success of the first project, which is a good start.
Following Sean Rad, several entrepreneurs who came in one after another also received investments from members.
However, relatively speaking, the investment amount is not large, with the highest being only over one million pounds and the lowest being only a few hundred thousand pounds. The projects involved are basically limited to Internet entrepreneurship.
But after all, this is only the first time, and there will definitely be more in the future.
Now that the British government intends to strongly support young people in starting their own businesses, there will definitely be plenty of opportunities.
Members spoke highly of the foundation's activities this time.
This is an extra benefit for them.
As rich second-generations, each of them has many friends, but what is the reality?
There are very few friends with whom I can truly communicate, or almost none.
But the pressure and expectations they bear are enormous.
That's why they want to join the Saints fan club and join this group where the rich second generation gather.
Yang Huan also felt the same way, so he decided that in the future he would not only organize some investment projects, but also organize some more interesting activities to enhance mutual communication and feelings.
After all, for these rich second-generations, it doesn’t matter how much money they make. What matters is that they have fun in a meaningful way!
While Yang Huan was inviting these entrepreneurs who had come from afar to have dinner at Wangjiang Pavilion, people from Southampton boarded buses to Southampton Airport.
Half an hour later, they flew to Croatia.
The next afternoon, Southampton defeated Croatian First League team Hajduk Split 1-0 away.
This is a match in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.
After returning to Southampton, the Saints defeated their opponents 2-0 and finally advanced to the fourth round of the qualifiers with a total score of 3-0.
A week later, Bielsa's team defeated Swiss Super League's Thun with scores of 1-0 and 4-0 away and at home respectively, and finally eliminated them with a total score of 5-0, successfully advancing to the Europa League group stage.
Given Southampton's strength, advancing to the group stage is expected.
Therefore, the media across Europe were not surprised at all by Southampton's performance.
What is really surprising is the grouping.
Southampton was placed in Group E in the Europa League, in the same group as Ukraine's traditional powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv, Turkey's powerhouse Besiktas, and Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Such a grouping also caused an uproar in the European media.
There is no need to say much about the strength of Dynamo Kyiv. The team's current top star is the former superstar Shevchenko. The Ukrainian team is quite strong.
Besiktas is also strong. With Portuguese stars such as Simao, Quaresma and Almeida in the team, it also has the strength to compete for the Europa League.
Add to that Southampton, the famous European team.
For a time, Group E of the Europa League was almost regarded as the group of death.
Even so, Southampton first defeated Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 away from home with Ibrahimovic's key goal, and after returning to Southampton, they defeated Besiktas 2-1 at home.
After that, they defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0 and 2-0 at home and away respectively.
Then, with four consecutive wins in the group, they were the first to qualify.
Just like the team's unstoppable performance in the Europa League, the Saints' performance in the Championship League did not disappoint.
In the first round of the league, thanks to goals from Neymar, Vidal and Ibrahimovic, they defeated the favorite to win the championship Leeds United 3-0 and got off to a good start in the league.
After that, they defeated Barnsley 2-0 away, beat Ipswich 5-0 away, and defeated Millwall 2-0 at home, leading the Championship with four consecutive wins.
In addition, the team played in the League Cup with a lineup of young players such as Pogba, Ravel Morrison, Sturridge and Nastasic, eliminated three rounds of lower-level league opponents and successfully advanced to the League Cup round of 16.
And in the round of 16, they defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 away from home.
A series of victories almost made Southampton the talk of the town.
Although Southampton unexpectedly lost to Leicester City away from home with an aggregate score of 2-3 in the fifth round of the Championship soon after, the Saints soon turned the tide.
They defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1, promotion favorite Birmingham 4-1, and Burnley 2-0 away, almost sweeping the entire Championship League.
The momentum and impact moved the football world all over the world.
As the game progressed, Southampton's lineup became more harmonious and the strength they showed on the field became more dominant, causing other teams in the entire Championship to feel devastated.
At least, under the powerful shadow of Southampton, they see no hope of winning the championship!
During the period when Yang Huan was making great progress in Southampton, he lived a very comfortable life.
Every day I just eat, drink and have fun, and occasionally tease beautiful girls. There is a football game every two or three days, and the fan club also organizes several member activities, so this time is very fulfilling and carefree.
His career was going smoothly and the team was unstoppable. This period of time turned out to be the most relaxing and comfortable time for Yang Huan in the past year.
But the good times will eventually come to an end.
Time passed October and entered November.
A phone call from Longhai City brought Yang Huan's leisurely life to an abrupt end.
The morning after receiving the call, he went to London, picked up Zhuang Ziqing, and took a flight back home.
When the Boeing plane ran off the airport runway, a man hiding somewhere in the airport made a phone call to Beijing, China, but hung up after saying just one sentence.
"He's back!"
