On Sunday, as usual, Lu Zhou went to Ms.'s house. Which is to teach Han Mengqi in mathematics.

When Mrs. Who walked out of the door, the girl pulled Lu Zhou's clothes and asked, "I heard that you settled Zhou's guess?"

Lu Zhou looked at the girl strangely and nodded before saying, "Yes, that was last week's news."

After hearing that, Han Mengqi bit her teeth and whispered, "Then ... You're not gonna teach me math anymore, are you?"

Lu Zhou asked, "Why won't I teach you anymore?"

In a soft voice, Han Mengqi said, "You already have a million ... Do you still have to work part-time?"

What kind of logic is this? Is there too much money?

Not to mention that this is easy money.

Learning is fun, but Lu Zhou is not a machine. He could not study all day because he would be tired.

Guidance was a kind of relaxation method for Lu Zhou. He can think of a few simple questions and change his mindset and mood while making money. So why not do it?

Lu Zhou sighed. He picked up the book and lightly patted his head before saying, “Stop wasting time and know that money is hard to come by. Don't waste your mother's money and start learning. Take out your error book and your recent exam paper. "

Han Mengqi looked at Lu Zhou dejectedly.

However, he remembered that he still needed his help, so he secretly took out his backpack.

Lu Zhou took the error book from Han Mengqi to check the situation for a month.

Overall, it's not bad. At least, after Lu Zhou explained those questions, he was not wrong.

As Lu Zhou examined the test paper, Han Mengqi cleared his throat and asked, "I want you to teach me chemistry and physics ... Is that okay?"

Lu Zhou thought carefully before giving a reply, "I can, but I'm not familiar with Jiangsu's high school materials, so I'm afraid I can't teach you much. At best, I can answer some questions for you. "

Lu Zhou heard that the rules of the examination in Jiangsu, a province, were different from where he came from. In addition to math and English, they can choose from four other subjects.

There are also mock exams, award points, etc. That's tricky.

Lu Zhou had heard this from Li Tao before because Li Tao was a native of Jin Ling.

Understood, Han Mengqi said, "Don't worry, this is enough."

Lu Zhou then asked, "What university are you applying for? Do you have a purpose? "

"I want to go to Jin Ling University .." said Han Mengqi. He stopped before adding, "... It's because I promised my cousin that I would go to the same university as him."

Lu Zhou looked at him with a puzzled look. She thought she would say something like, “I don't care, as long as I'm away from that woman. I prefer to be abroad. ”He didn't think the answer was Jin Ling University.

Of course, he did not say this out loud.

After all, everyone has their own ideals.

“If I remember correctly, Jin Ling University requires students to have two A subjects. You have to work hard, "said Lu Zhou casually.

Han Mengqi nodded solemnly as she said, “Yes! I will work hard! "

...

At six in the afternoon, tutoring was over.

Lu Zhou put on an apron and cooked three dishes in the kitchen while he boiled a pot of onion ginger soup. Lu Zhou wanted to thank Mrs. Yang, but he couldn't afford anything for her. The least she could do for him was cook for her daughter.

After he finished, he placed the food on the table before he hooked the apron on the kitchen door.

Right at six, Yang Danqi returned home.

When he walked in and smelled the overflowing smell of food, he looked at Lu Zhou with a surprised expression.

Lu Zhou smiled as he asked, "Do you want to eat together? I earn enough for three. "

Yang Danqi smiled as he replied, “Alright, thank you. I'll take a bowl of rice. "

Han Mengqi smirked and did not say anything as she went to the bathroom.

As usual, the dining table was quiet.

If it was only two people, Han Mengqi would be chatting non-stop the entire time. However, since her mother was here, she had no interest in talking at all and only had dinner quietly.

Lu Zhou initially thought that because of Han Mengqi's academic performance, the mother-daughter relationship would get better.

However, he seems to be optimistic.

Each family has their own difficulties ...

Lu Zhou wanted to avoid an awkward silence, so he decided to ask a question.

He wanted to hear the advice of successful people like Mrs. Yang.

After Yang Danqi listened to Lu Zhou question, he asked, "You made an application?"

"Yes I did it."

"Have you done any product analysis?"

To Lu Zhou's surprise, Mrs. Who did not ask about how many users or software. Instead, he asked this question.

Lu Zhou thought and shook his head before he said honestly, "No."

If he was in a venture capital meeting, he wouldn't be this honest. However, he was not in the meeting and when he tried to learn, he did not fake anything.

Mrs. Who thinks and says, “From an investor's point of view, I can tell you a very basic principle. A good investment should always be N +1 of the industry standard. "

"N +1?"

"That's right, this 1, is your innovation point," Madam Yang said as she nodded. He continued, “Of course, it's not always enough. Investors will see other projects similar to yours. Being able to innovate just gets your foot in the door. "

Mrs Yang paused for a moment before continuing, The first “Hal talked about was the industry analysis and market outlook. Don't talk about market share, it's useless. The era of fools with money is over. Currently, if you want to raise funds, you have to bring a unicorn to the table. You should use short but interesting words to make investors see the highlights of your project, which is also part of +1. "

Uh, this looks very complicated.

However, Lu Zhou listened carefully.

He couldn't learn this kind of lesson in class.

“After you understand that +1 section, then next is product analysis. For example, let me be an investor. You should convey to me clearly where your users are, how many users you have, your competitors, where your competitors are, etc. Also, the most basic is when your product will be profitable. "

Yang Danqi looked straight into Lu Zhou's eyes.

Those sharp eyes made Lu Zhou stop breathing.

Fortunately, the pressure disappeared very quickly.

Madam Yang took a sip of the delicious soup before gently putting down the spoon and said in a calm tone, "It seems you haven't thought of all this."

Lu Zhou was silent as he nodded.

The project is just for practice before it finally becomes a trend. If it was not trending, Professor Zhang's software department would never have noticed the project. Professor Zhang would never make him open a company [Campus Train Co Ltd], nor give him a business loan of 500,000 yuan ...

As she spends all her energy on mathematical modeling competitions, she has pushed the app aside. After he returned, the season back to school ended and user activity completely plummeted.

Because of this, the crowd on Weibo criticized the app. Although Lu Zhou disliked criticism, it did not make much sense. There's a reason why venture capitalists don't contact him ...

“Actually, after listening to your project description, I want to ask you. If your users are mostly students, why do you only deal with train tickets? How many train tickets do students even buy in a year? What is user retention? What if a software company like QQ or Zhibao, created a direct booking system? Do you think your app will still be growing? They are better and have more resources than you. "

It was clear that the woman was as strong as in a matter of minutes, she managed to shock Lu Zhou ...

Lu Zhou suddenly realized that he had underestimated the technology industry.

Mrs. That continued, “Of course, your project is still bright. You are better than the majority of app developers because most of them prototype and then try to find venture capitalists. If you are not interested in managing a company, you may consider hiring a Manager. But I do not recommend this, for companies that are still in the incubation stage, no one knows the project better than you. Also, no manager with real talent will work for your small sh*tty company. ”

Madam Yang did not hold back her words.

However, Lu Zhou did not feel humiliated at all. After all, he knew the situation of his company.

Lu Zhou thought about it before he asked seriously, "Then, do you have any good advice?"

“A person's abilities and energy are limited. In that case, why don't you find some like-minded people to do this project together? There are many scientific research professors at Jin Ling University who own their own companies. I know one of them who does materials science research and I think his company has gone public. Doing scientific research and making money is not always contradictory. The key is to find a good balance and know what you are good or bad for. "

Lu Zhou was silent for a long time before he nodded his head, "I'll take your advice seriously."

This conversation helped him a lot.

At least, after this, he knew the general direction to work.

Madam Yang smiled and nodded in agreement.

When Han Mengqi saw that her mother was talking to Lu Zhou, she felt a little uncomfortable and whispered, "Can't you talk about business matters at the dinner table?"

Mrs. She was shocked by her daughter's words and stopped talking.

Even though Lu Zhou was an outsider and did not want to get involved, he still felt sad.

Just like Ms. said. Yang. A person's energy is limited. It won some, lost some situations.

However, how many people can actually find a balance between using energy and giving up?

Even a successful female entrepreneur has flaws.

The drawback is family ...
