Chapter 246 Your future is my past(1/2)
Lu Yiming stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand gently, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, hello, Mr. Page, I have heard of your name many years ago, and you have always been my idol."
Although I don’t quite believe the authenticity of Lu Yiming’s words, it is still quite happy to be complimented. In just three or two sentences, Larry Page’s perception of Lu Yiming has improved a lot, at least he doesn’t find him annoying anymore.
.
Lin Yuzhen looked at the brown-haired ghost man in front of her curiously. His casual appearance and slovenly appearance were really far from the "European and American business elite" in her mind.
Is it possible that in Europe and the United States, all those who wear suits and ties are wage earners, and that it is normal for wealthy bosses to dress like this?
There are really more and more question marks in Lin Yuzhen's mind.
Although there are many foreigners in Guangdong Province, she has long been accustomed to them, but this is the first time she has met such a wealthy foreigner face to face.
At this moment, Larry Page's eyes were focused on Lu Yiming: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, you are really good at talking. I am looking forward to further communication with you."
Lu Yiming smiled slightly, instructing Zhao Tiezhu behind him to help Larry Page get his suitcase, and then greeted: "Mr. Page, after a long journey, I think we should find a place to have a cup of coffee first, and then eat some traditional Xia cuisine.
, let’s talk about communication again.”
After leaving the airport, Lu Yiming invited Larry Page into his Rolls-Royce Silver Spur.
As the saying goes, people rely on their clothes, and they rely on their gold. If nothing else, as soon as this Rolls-Royce Silver Spur came out, Larry Page immediately looked up to Lu Yiming.
“Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, it’s not cheap.”
Larry Page sat on the soft leather seat, feeling more and more envious in his heart, rich people really know how to enjoy it!
Unlike entrepreneurs like him, although they have obtained some financing, it is basically invested in the operation of the company. Now Google does not even have a decent office space, let alone spending money to squander and enjoy it like Lu Yiming.
.
Sitting in the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, Larry Page can only hope that after he achieves financial freedom, he will live as handsomely as Lu Yiming.
However, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, which makes Larry Page extremely envious, in Lu Yiming's opinion, is just a relatively comfortable means of transportation.
Therefore, he was very generous: "If Mr. Page likes it, I can give it to you."
With that said, Lu Yiming casually handed Larry Page a can of Coke, and then gave a small compliment: "I won this car through a bet anyway. If it can be used in exchange for the friendship of the founder of Google, then
It’s such a bargain.”
Larry Page couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that Mr. Lu likes to bet with others. I was attracted here because of your bet. I am very interested in the story of this Silver Spur becoming a bet."
If you’re interested, can you tell me about it?”
"Do you know about the financial defense battle in Xiangjiang some time ago? It is one of my trophies."
When Larry Page heard Lu Yiming mention the Xiangjiang Financial Defense War, the expression on his face suddenly became serious, and he was also in awe of Lu Yiming.
The financial defense war in Hong Kong not long ago not only left a profound impression on Hong Kong, but also caused quite a stir in the world's financial circles.
After a group of Wall Street tycoons had just experienced a financial crisis that affected the world, they were just about to draw some blood from Xiangjiang, their home country, but ended up losing even the little capital they had finally saved.
Of course, in the Western media reports, it is natural that the despicable dictator has shamelessly interfered with the free market. The wolves of Wall Street have to face not only the financial system of Xiangjiang, but also the protective Xia government.
The corporate body has been suppressed by the state machine, and it is understandable to lose, because this war is inherently unfair.
If Lu Yiming sees these reports, he will definitely not be able to help but ridicule: Does the United States deserve to talk about fairness?
The two did not talk too much about this matter involving the strategy of a great power. Instead, they talked about their legendary experiences. Larry Page looked at Lu Yiming in amazement: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Lu actually also
Participated in the financial defense battle of Xiangjiang, so it seems that you won?"
Lu Yiming nodded with an old-fashioned smile: "Of course, I will always stand with my great motherland. In this financial war, I made a small profit, only a few hundred million US dollars, no more, no more."
"Hundreds of millions of dollars!"
Larry Page was stunned by this number.
It was only then that he realized how wrong he had been.
The young man in front of me is not some mysterious rich second generation from the East at all.
Lu Yiming is a self-made entrepreneur like him, and in comparison, Lu Yiming's starting point is even lower than him. At least he received an angel investment of US$100,000, and later raised a million dollars with the help of his parents' Jewish community friends and relatives group.
Millions of dollars in start-up capital.
But what about Lu Yiming? What does he have?
At the beginning, Lu Yiming was almost penniless. Even the computer used for programming was obtained on credit.
Obviously, Lu Yiming's struggle inspired Larry Page, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Lu Yiming, and the conversation became more proactive: "I heard from other places that your $300,000 start-up capital,
Investment from Microsoft? Is there such a thing?”
Lu Yiming relied on a patch and verbal threats to persuade Bill Gates to give in and buy the piece of code from Lu Yiming for $300,000.
In its external publicity, Microsoft would naturally not admit that its system vulnerability was found and fixed by a Xia boy less than two weeks after the software was launched, and even extorted $300,000.
Once this is said, Microsoft's stock price will absolutely collapse, and even the legitimacy of the monopoly will be questioned.
Therefore, in external publicity, these three hundred thousand US dollars became an investment in Lu Yiming.
After hearing what Larry Page said, Lu Yiming naturally wanted to align himself with Microsoft, and immediately said with a smile: "I promised Mr. Gates not to disclose the details of our cooperation to the public, so I'm sorry, Mr. Page."
Larry Page didn't pursue the question any further.
The Rolls-Royce returned to the Pennine Hotel from the airport.
Zhu Hanwen, who was chatting with several other students in the lobby, saw that Lu Yiming had gone out and brought back a foreigner. He suddenly felt numb. He quickly stepped forward, pulled Lu Yiming aside, and asked in a low voice: "This
What's going on? Why did you bring a foreigner back?"
Lu Yiming blinked at the class teacher with an innocent face, and in the end he actually said, "Sorry, it's a trade secret, no comment."
When Zhu Hanwen heard this, he immediately became angry.
What happened to this class of students? This is a billionaire, and he is discussing business with foreigners while studying. He can't even beat or scold him. Even asking questions is a business secret. It's really difficult to be a teacher.
.
Seeing Zhu Hanwen's constipated expression, Lu Yiming suddenly felt happy that he had succeeded in a prank.
He came to Larry Page and introduced in fluent English: "I am still a student, currently studying in Xiangjiang, and this is my leading teacher, and these are my classmates. Today
Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
"sure."
Hearing that Lin Yuzhen was Lu Yiming's classmate, not Lu Yiming's secretary, Larry Page knew that he had misunderstood, and he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.
That's right. Not only does he earn so much money at such a young age, but he also has such a beautiful secretary. It's unreasonable no matter how you look at it!
During the meal, everyone was very curious about the appearance of Larry Page. After all, he was a lively foreigner.
Although after coming to Xiangjiang, people would not feel particularly strange when they see foreigners, but this is the first time they have such close contact with them.
Then several girls watched with envy as Lu Yiming and Larry Page chatted and laughed in American English. The two spoke fluently and very fast, so fast that they couldn't even understand many of them.
Several girls couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Lu Yiming's English is so good, I can barely understand a few words."
"Listening to their conversation, I seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by 'nine pounds and fifteen pence'."
"He's really handsome when he's serious."
Of course, Lu Yiming didn't hear these words, but Li Zhengkai, who was sitting next to a few girls, heard them very clearly.
When he saw that even Wu Qiuya, whom he had longed for, was praising Lu Yiming for being so handsome, his heart felt so sour as if he had eaten eighteen lemons in one go.
He felt that since he came to Xiangjiang, his sense of existence was getting lower and lower day by day.
Today, Wu Qiuya praised Lu Yiming for being so handsome in front of him, which stimulated his sensitive nerves even more. So much so that his lower body became hard. His clenched fists under the table were so hard that he wanted to find someone to pound him.
Li Zhengkai secretly swore in his heart that he must practice his oral English well, and then also chat and laugh with foreigners, so that he can win back the victory in front of everyone!
However, facing Li Zhengkai who looked high-spirited, Lu Yiming was in no mood to pay attention to the random thoughts of several classmates around him at this moment.
Because he had to convince Larry Page to accept his investment as soon as possible. After a few greetings as usual, Lu Yiming began to ask questions purposefully: "Mr. Page, what do you think of the city of Xiangjiang?"
Larry Page said sincerely: "There is no doubt that this is a huge city. There are people everywhere in my field of vision, and there are many cars on the road. Everyone is dressed very well. Even the hotel we are in now
It’s also very luxurious and completely subverts my inherent impression of Xia Kingdom. If I hadn’t come here in person, I don’t think I would have believed what I saw in front of me.”
Xiangjiang is a small area with many people, so every inch of land is precious. Walking on the streets, there are crowds of people everywhere, and the darkness is crowded with people. This is one of the sights that impressed Larry Page the most.
The United States is vast and sparsely populated. Except for a few metropolitan cities, many towns have a permanent population of tens of thousands.
For example, Mountain View, where Google is currently located, has a population of only 70,000, which is less than a fraction of the number of residents in Xiangjiang.
Even though Xiangjiang is located in Asia, it is an international metropolis where Eastern and Western cultures meet.
Even foreigners will not find any inconvenience at all when living here. Basically, everything that Western countries have is available here, and elements that Western countries do not have are also available here.
This is Xiangjiang, the dazzling and gorgeous oriental city.
Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Sometimes going out for a walk is very helpful to broaden your thinking and horizons. Many media are promoting that Xia State is still very backward and is still in a primitive society. It doesn't even use electric lights.
On. In fact, no one with a little bit of brains would blindly believe this.
You know, we are about to enter the 21st century. Xia Kingdom is not isolated from the world, so how can it not have these things? In fact, Xia Kingdom has many of the most advanced computers.
, there are many elites in Xiangjiang who are already proficient in using Google search services."
