Yu Jiawen really have the strength? Or is it just hype?

With a variety of labels, more and more entrepreneurs in the role of the business. These quietly growing "non-mainstream" generation, in a variety of not understand the sound, became a difficult upward creation of rich family. "I said to them (staff), the problem can not be resolved on the noisy, noisy on the dozen, hospitalization I pay." "I think that the culture of a company is actually the character of the boss, there is not a company in the country boss dare to do like me, because they do not have my courage." "Next year I'm going to give my employees 100 million of the profit." ”......

November 22, CCTV program "Young China said" on the new CEO Yu Jiawen speech, after a few days quickly brush explosion network. First he was labeled "rich" and "willful", and then he was questioned about bragging and data forgery.

Whether true or FALSE, Yu Jiawen's explosion has made many people notice that a variety of labels have been plastered over the world, increasingly as entrepreneurs in the business world. These quietly growing "non-mainstream" generation, in a variety of not understand the sound, became a difficult upward creation of rich family.

The 24-year-old Yu Jiawen recently red-hot. His identity is Guangzhou Weekend Network Technology Co., Ltd. CEO.

"The whole December calendar is full, and almost no one can be set aside." His assistant, Xu, said on the phone that since he was on the show, his time was basically not his own.

The program refers to the November 22 broadcast of the CCTV first "young China said." At that time, Qi short hair, a large border of black plastic glasses, multi-color large horizontal sweater, a hem of the shirt, jeans, such a dress is also a little hunchback Yu Jiawen, looks like the ordinary students of the college is no different, until he spoke.

When he said he was the CEO of an app company called the super timetable, the young audience under the stage greeted with cheers and applause, but several guests on the stage were looking at each other, even the youngest Han a blank face, "Why does a thing that sounds so bull not be known by these cows?" ”

Yu Jiawen soon unveiled the answer, "super timetable" is facing students. This is a curriculum based on the launch of the campus utility software.

Next, he Shizhini. His most irksome remarks are focused on two places: Alibaba has won tens of millions of dollars in funding, and next year will be 100 million of profits to staff.

After a few days, "a senior CEO today let the entire Internet rage" for the video on the internet Crazy biography, he was even called "the president of the".

"I don't think people are as smart as me."

In fact, on board the CCTV and was before the network fermentation, the CEO Yu Jiawen, but a very small range of the spread of the name.

The young man was born in 1990, Guangdong Chaozhou Raoping, has studied in Jiazhou second and Guangzhou University of China Soft Software Institute.

This time in the "young China said" on the language is amazing, is not the first Yu Jiawen. A successful man, who is at least one times older than him, once said: "Your luck is good and you've got it." "But the" young gold "is the easy to envy of the label, in Yu Jiawen himself, because" I think others are not as smart as me. " This is also his original intention of starting a business.

Yu Jiawen said this, 2013 years. He had just won a multimillion-dollar investment, led by Sequoia Capital in Silicon Valley. But at that time, he did not fire up, at most is a lucky young entrepreneur.

Even in the industry, just know a name, no one is too concerned about, may be that his noodles too narrow, can't make much of a battle. "Mr. T, who once worked for Alibaba and now runs a start-up electric business in Shenzhen, said.

But Mr. T and others in the industry did not expect, Yu Jiawen this regardless of age or volume are not attention to lightweight players, by the CCTV of a gong rang, a leap into the center of the ring, a moment to make the industry look askance.

The young man who cheered him up as an inspirational idol was a wave of noise; practitioners, divergent views; even a considerable number of girls called him "husband", abandoned "Wanda Childe" constructed and pushed him as a "new national husband", shouting for him to "give birth to a heap of small monkeys."

People are on fire, but they're labeled "bragging."

In the post-Internet era, attracting attention also often means facing a double-edged sword.

November 27 begins, the negative news to find Yu Jiawen. Anonymous netizens in the Internet question and answer platform "know" on the "super timetable" before the identity of employees, Yu Jiawen claiming that "tens of millions" of users are not true, "also just millions", and financing the number of water, "actually small millions of dollars."

In addition to being questioned the number of users of fraud, financing the amount of fraud, Yu Jiawen also questioned the degree of fraud, profitability, fraud, entrepreneurial experience, for a time, "bragging", "fake" two words became his new label.

In this respect, Yu Jiawen once said, "All said I boast, I think in fact, the old guys do not know what I was thinking!" I just like to brag. "Public opinion grasps the" boast "this point, in many details on the fuss. With regard to the micro-scholarly calendar involving Tsinghua, Wu and other schools, and the year of entry only 1 years, his explanation is internal testing in order to test the "super timetable" and social platform interoperability of the feasibility of input. "If it is a forged degree, is it possible to make a year's test of a school mistake?" "Indeed, before the fire, Yu Jiawen received media interviews only mentioned the vast majority of China soft, did not claim to graduate from a prestigious school."

Still, the voice of doubt is still loud: has he really circled tens of millions of users? Did he really get tens of millions of dollars in financing? Can you really take out a billion cent to employees next year? Or is it all just a big talk from a child?

With the "Yu Jiawen Heat" decline, "super table" also fell out of the list

Again, "Super timetable", this is Yu Jiawen and his team referred to as "Super table" app, Yu Jiawen as CEO of the Guangzhou Weekend Network Technology Co., Ltd. 's only product. "Super Watch" in the CEO fire up the Dongfeng, a few days at once rushed to the App store free list of the first four, education category of free list. However, with the decline of "Yu Jiawen Heat", its ranking has been falling. By the early hours of December 7, there was no "super watch" in all 145 apps listed in the App Store's free rankings.

Although Yu Jiawen prior to the media before the CCTV, his product received 13 million of the download, on the CCTV soon after an increase of 2 million. However, from the above list, it seems only to see "its Hing also bo."

Chinese business newspaper reporter to Xi ' an well-known university students to join and import the relevant curriculum, in some public elective course only see more than 10 people. is positioned as "the pickup Artifact" "The Class Chats" the plate also does not have the very high activity degree, many messages say "saw the program to experience". One female student at the school said the application would be useful at the beginning of the semester, and that "the course may not be very well remembered, but after familiarity it is useless." ”

"He used CCTV to do their own and product marketing, but this heat decline is very fast, after all, the product is there, it cannot keep most people." "said Mr. T, although the" Super table "on the app download platform" 360 mobile phone assistant "to obtain more than 9 million downloads (as of the early morning of 7th for 10.19 million), but that does not explain the problem," first Zhou (360 boss) is one of his investors, do not exclude the surface data to help water injection Second, the download volume and ranking, just because he was fire, many people out of curiosity download experience. So did I, and after half an hour of research I deleted it. Because at least it's useless to me. ”

David Hao, a product manager for an internet company in Guangzhou, has a much more straightforward view, "because people in Guangzhou, the Innovation Valley, the micro-broad circle, and the third party network are all acquainted with the former staff of the timetable, so I think it's a direct conclusion based on the known information, said that the timetable in terms of the number of users and financing and profitability of the huge water, there is no injustice. ”

Does Yu Jiawen get ALI million dollar investment? Alibaba Group Public Relations department confirmed that the group did invest in the Super timetable project, but as a listed company inconvenient to disclose the specific amount. "The number of investments is subject to announcements." ”

"The boss cares about the staff every day, and blows up the bragging."

"Innovation Valley" is where Yu Jiawen started. This is a pioneering incubator organized by former Huawei Internet Business President Zhu Bo in Guangzhou, focusing on the internet and mobile Internet. His investment principle is, "just do the areas that you are familiar with, others will not pay attention." The amount of investment is generally 505 million yuan, holding generally around 20%, not more than 30%. ”

In June 2012, in a roadshow, Zhu Bo was Yu Jiawen with "two minutes to impress", casting him hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is Yu Jiawen's first investment in Angels, and also "Innovation Valley" incubator. Zhu Bo Yu Jiawen involved in the storm, the author "a pair of eyes to see Yu Jiawen", "It's been the hardest day to start a business with a good essay, and I do have more than a normal investor's commercial perspective, because I really like him," and it boils down to "a great appreciation of his peculiar business acumen".

Chinese commercial news reporter inquires public reports and records found that Yu Jiawen from the Zhou to obtain a millions of yuan investment, and then won the Sequoia China, the joint venture source, Angel Valley and the investment fund, such as funds, time between December 2012 and October 2013. This, the Xiaoping founder of a 2013 microblog can be corroborated. At this stage, he received a financing amount of about 10 million to 20 million yuan.

"Through bragging to complete their own capital dream." "Informed" Anonymous netizens who claimed to be a "super watch" exit employee. This burst of material is now gone. But Yu Jiawen got the real gold and silver, and he also does not deny "bragging", he repeatedly said to the media, "The boss every day is concerned about employees, blowing bragging good." ”

This "bragging" process, there are also episodes. May 2013, Yu Jiawen to participate in Southeast TV pioneering program "Love Spell will win", the goal is to raise 3 million U.S. dollars. Finally he entered the entrepreneurial Mentor Shire team. and authentication for the "social media marketing researcher," the "Du Zijian" Author ", December 2 in micro-Bo artillery, accusing Yu Jiawen," Remember Shire was caught the night, you write Micro Bo celebrate he was caught, celebrate the reason is ' call you this dead old man do not invest me '! ”

Yu Jiawen August 2013 on the day of the microblog has not seen traces, but a netizen posted a screenshot of evidence. However, Du Zijian's Huayi Creative media is one of Shire's projects as an angel investor.

Compared to the middle-aged Uncle Entrepreneurship, the new entrepreneurial story can attract investors

"Although the tens of millions of dollar investment figures currently in Yu Jiawen are debatable, the Yu Jiawen and the Super timetable team have been invested, which should be an objective fact," he said. Why do savvy investors fancy Yu Jiawen and his team? Because they like stories. "Mobile Internet Entrepreneurship Thinking salon sponsor Li Floor," compared to the middle-aged uncle's entrepreneurial, the beauty or a rebellious teenager's entrepreneurial more story.

"A team that invests 90 or more in the mainstream will be considered to be investing in a group that goes to the forefront of the times." In particular, in the past two years, many well-known VCs investors are claiming to be only a year or a special cast. Li said that the extent of a story determines whether venture investors are investing. "The team and the product have a story, venture capitalists dare to vote, especially early." A good story can reduce investors ' worries, and investors will even help the founders and their team make the story a little better to attract more investment. ”

Mr. T, a founder of Alibaba, said, "It is impossible not to blow, and insiders also know that you are blowing, the problem is that the story must be said to have a point of attraction, the cow to be blown to have a certain feasibility, to achieve these two points, we will not only be uncovered, but also investment, to help you rally, the purpose is to attract This other person, can be follow-up investors, more can be successful listing shareholders. And early investors will benefit. ”

"Packaging entrepreneurs and their products, or, in other words, to help their founders and products grow, is one of the main tasks that focus on early investors." "Li Floor said, packaging good to sell a good price, just to find the pan, to facilitate their timely exit."

Mr T says there may be two possible motives behind "bragging" in addition to continuing to circle the money. "The cash. Promote the project, and continue to get investment, let people see the future. If someone buys the whole, he can, as he says, ' realize financial freedom '. But the timing is subtle, with more investment in the overall valuation, but his own shares will be diluted by investors. It's a complicated account of how you can maximize your earnings in cash. ”

Hype or for him and others to cash in?

Mr. T said another possibility is more treacherous, "behind the gray capital, blow the matter, complete money laundering." ”

Some people are trying to use the Internet, energy and other rapidly expanding industries to bleach assets, says a beijing-based venture insider, a secretive secret in the industry. "In recent years, anti-corruption efforts have increased, the wind is getting tighter, the number of fallen tigers is increasing." Some noticed early, and began to walk this way under the guidance of high man. He explained that this model is actually quite simple, that is, to take out Bai investment in a project, and then with the help of hype and other means to push the value of the project, and then "logically" take away from the fact that this is the "huge profits" of their own assets. "Bai money, said to be clean, who is not good to question, in the ' investment ' magnified several hundreds times, looks also clean." He said that this kind of thing is very risky and involves a wide range of cases, and only a few people know that "anyone who wants to check is goodbye".
