Chapter 214 Topic (I)

Li Siming's son Li Xiaoming only returned to Shenzhen before the Spring Festival in 1995, nearly a year since he left home last time. He did not come back throughout the summer vacation in 1994, and seemed to be overjoyed.

His grandparents missed their grandson so much that the two elders ran to Shandong three times in 1994, bringing big and small bags of things each time. This made Li Siming and his wife Yang Yue feel that sending their son to Shandong to study may be an extremely correct thing.

Having not seen him for nearly a year, Li Xiaoming grew a lot and was rushing upwards. He didn't think it was too obvious under his nose before. This time, after a year of separation, Li Siming felt the changes in his son.

"Xiao Ming, you look much longer and stronger than before. Shandong is indeed full of big men!" Li Siming patted his son's small breasts as soon as he met.

"Of course, Dad, I climb mountains every day. No matter how high the mountain is, I can climb back and forth in one breath!" My son said with his chest straight and in a tone full of pride.

"Then why haven't you come back during the summer vacation? You won't forget this home, right?" Li Siming asked intentionally.

"There will be activities during the school summer vacation, which will take half a month. I think if I come back, I will waste time when I come back and forth. Besides, the summer in Shenzhen is so hot." My son replied.

"Then you honestly don't miss your mother, of course I still have me?" Li Siming asked, "Don't tell me that you forgot your surname Li!"

"Well, I think a little bit." The son scratched his head and said shyly.

"Only a little?" Li Siming was very unhappy.

Seeing that Li Siming looked bad, the son added: "But I think learning is more important!"

"Oh? You are quite good at speaking!" Li Siming said annoyedly, "For your grandma Sun's sake, I won't bother with you. Are you naughty and not listening to Grandma Sun's words?"

"I didn't, Grandma Sun treats me well." The son defended, "I have never made a fuss!"

Li Siming believed this. Although he was very busy with work, he was always very concerned about his son's performance in Shandong. This is also good. It is also his father's wish to have an environment that is conducive to his growth. Hey, he is a father who is a father who is trying to find a modern environment for his children to have good facilities. But for his son, a remote mountain village thousands of miles away from the family is a good environment, which is really a depressing place. However, it is also difficult for his son to leave home at a young age. It can be said that it is a bit "cruel". This is exactly what Li Siming's parents find difficult to understand.

But Li Siming insisted on this point. An environment far away from the city and away from the turmoil of the world is what my son needs most. If his son can learn what a true free life is in that simple mountainous area, it would be a blessing. He would fill his youth with sunshine, freedom and innocence, restore his true face in life, and prevent everything around him from covering his eyes that still cannot tell the truth.

Sun Chang's son Sun Dajun was admitted to Shijiazhuang Army Academy last fall and studied the command of the army team. Originally, there was an army command academy in Jinan, which was closer to home, but Li Siming always felt that with Sun Dajun's math, physics and chemistry, it would be even better if he applied for some military technology majors such as radar guidance. What the army needs more is professional and technical talents, to a certain extent, it is also inheriting his "manship". Li Siming exerted his own influence, but Sun Dajun was very determined. He only hoped to become a commander of an actual combat unit like his father Sun Chang. So as a compromise, he applied to Shijiazhuang Army Academy - Li Siming or Sun Chang's former subordinate Qiao Xiaolong had just been transferred to the school to teach. Sun Dajun's future military academy career will be "beautiful", and Li Siming is already "praying" for him.

"Dad, I will also take the military academy exam in the future!" said his son Li Xiaoming.

"That's great, but you're still a little early to say this now. When you're in high school, tell me again and I will support you." Li Siming said with a smile, "You won't just say you want to take the military academy just because Dajun put on military uniforms and looked very handsome, right?"

"No, Dad, I just think it's good to be a soldier!" The son said firmly, "When school started in September, I saw Uncle Qiao. He came to pick up Dajun's brother to go to school. He said that the benefits of being a soldier are many!"

"Then what did he say to you?" Li Siming was very curious.

"First, being a soldier to defend the country is an obligation that every citizen should fulfill. Most people have no chance yet. Dad, what is a 'citizen'? What is a 'obligation'? Uncle Qiao said that I am not a citizen now, and I can only be considered a soldier! Second, if you don't have to spend money to buy clothes and rice when you become a soldier, you can be said to be very thrifty. Our teacher also said that thrifty is a very excellent quality. Third..."

"Come on, come on!" Li Siming interrupted his son and said seriously, "If you see the person named Qiao again next time, ignore him!"

"Why?"

"This person has some problems here!" Li Siming pointed to his head, "I often say something stupid, but I was deceived by him if I accidentally said something. He is a professional lie to children!"

The son blinked Qing and said he was very confused: "But I think what he said makes sense!"

...

The Spring Festival is here, and Li Siming has temporarily freed from his busier work last year and has a comfortable and comfortable Spring Festival. The company's series of offensive actions last year have also caused huge responses at home and abroad, and there are many topics. www.piaotian.com's dominant position in the computer industry, and now this alliance has forced most computer manufacturers and software manufacturers to follow their lead. Microsoft and Intel have benefited a lot from it. It can be said to be a "strong alliance". It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "monopoly", at least there is such suspicion. But people now hope that this alliance can collapse one day.

Because everyone now knows that Intel's strong rival, MSI Semiconductor, is eyeing its market share. Li Siming is waiting for Intel to make a mistake. This mistake will happen soon. By that time, Li Siming will be proud and being suppressed is not what he thought. And people also know that MSI Semiconductor's parent company, MSI Holdings (Viking), is the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, which makes many people have similar associations.

The outside world may welcome the disintegration of the Wintel Alliance, because other companies will have more opportunities, and at least Apple is very welcome. However, Microsoft may not give up on this alliance, because since the birth of the Pentium series, Intel has occupied nearly 70% of the world's microprocessors with its powerful technical power. Unless MSI semiconductor company can fundamentally shake its fundamental position one day, it can only be a delusion.

Not long ago, Jerry Frankel, the top manager of MSI Technology Group's management branch in the United States, formed a strategic partnership with Microsoft on behalf of MSI Technology Group. Intel immediately expressed serious concern. Microsoft CEO Ballmer explained that this is just a very ordinary agreement, just like the agreement signed by companies like Microsoft and Amd. Microsoft's target is Chinese computer users, which does not hinder the collaboration between Microsoft and Intel. This is an open agreement.

In fact, MSI semiconductor's products have huge similarities with Intel, and they implement a follow-up strategy in terms of technology. Therefore, Microsoft's next-generation operating system will definitely have a perfect fit with MSI microprocessors.

In 1995, there was another topic for people: how much money Li Siming had? When discussing how much money the rich people have, people had a little bit of entertainment. There was even something called the Rich List. When people saw the names of billionaires appearing on it, they always asked this question: "How much did he donate?"

The Chinese rich class has gradually formed since the economic tide that began in the late 1970s. At first, the rich people were very scared. The past political lines made these people who became rich first frightened. They all pretended to be poor, and people were afraid of becoming famous and pigs were afraid of being strong. Some even donated a large part of the money they earned. This was not entirely due to a charitable heart. Then more and more rich people began to worry that the tax bureau came to visit, especially those who had experience of tax evasion, including those "titles" stars; in the end, the rich people were accustomed to the existence of the rich list, and even took honor to the list. So more Chinese people wanted to know whether there were any immoral things in the process of getting rich. While asking such questions, they also felt a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.

In 1995, the latest issue of Forbes magazine released the latest list of rich people. Bill Gates ranked first with his personal assets of $12.9 billion. The bad news is that last year the US government launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft. While marveling at the personal wealth of the rich, people couldn't help but ask:

"Where is that Chinese named Li Siming? Why can't you see his name?"

In response, the magazine explained that we admit that Li Siming can rank in the top ten or even higher on the list. If we can rank first, we would not be surprised. But we cannot know the proportion of his personal real shares held in MSI Holdings, the offshore parent of MSI Group. Therefore, if it is only estimated that this shrinkage range will be too large, it will affect the ranking of others. For the sake of safety, we did not include him in the rich statistics range.

Therefore, people used "unfathomable" to describe Li Siming's wealth. Various versions of "exclusive" news appeared on various news media, and even one more affirmative tone to prove that their speculation was correct:

"The oil fields in Siberia are worth at least US$20 billion, of which 80% of the shares are US$16 billion, Microsoft's shares are approximately US$6 billion, and the listed company Xiangjiang Electric MSI is approximately HK$36 billion in the hands of six major shareholders, while anycall Telecom now has a market value of HK$100 billion, of which 60% is approximately RMB60 billion in the hands of six major founders. That is to say, the six founders have at least US$35 billion in assets.

The key to the problem is the proportion of Li Siming's shares held by the six shareholders, which can be large or small. However, this magazine estimates that Li Siming must maintain his absolute voice in MSI Group and own at least 50% of the shares, which means that he owns at least US$17.5 billion in assets, which is much more than Bill Gates' personal assets, which is still a very conservative estimate."

The estimate of this Hong Kong magazine is relatively accurate, but it is just an estimate, because Li Siming's net worth is still growing at a double-digit percentage. Rich people usually become richer, because the richer they are, the more able they are to devote themselves to more money-making careers. This is the expansionary power of capital.

Birds of a feather flock together, and flock together. At least Li Siming himself has not realized the idea of ​​being a super rich man at all. The golf courses that Shenzhen has built in the past two years are more beautiful than the other and more high-end, but our super rich man has never visited. Except for Zeng Zhi who likes to participate in various social activities, a large part of the reason is that the six shareholders are even used to being in some necessary so-called celebrity activities on behalf of the company, the others are used to living in poor life. In Li Siming's words, it is because of different class backgrounds.

Regarding the work of the six founders of MSI Technology Group, social and spare time are also very attractive topics. When people accuse those who get rich first of all their luxurious lives, they always use the example of "positive images" of Li Siming and others to illustrate.

"I'm too busy making money, so I don't have time to play golf!" Watanabe Saburo smiled, "Do you know how much I have to lose if I waste an hour? The cost is too high and I can't afford it!"

"I am not only a director and CEO of the group, but also a president and CEO of MSI semiconductor. I am busy running around the world every day, so where can I have time to relax!" Xu Dashuai said.

"As me, as a group director and cfo, I am busy counting money. Where can I have time to attend a cocktail party?" Yuan Hou said, "You ask Mr. Zeng Zhi, he is a professional in this area!"

"Don't ask me this question. I'm going to the Korean factory soon. I'm going to Germany to attend an international conference the day after tomorrow. I'll go to the United States to negotiate in a few days. I don't have time to talk to you about these!" Zhang Hua was not interested in such a question at all.

For rich people, money is just a number. Rich people always say this and always put their career and ideals in their mouths, as if the increase in the amount of money represents the embodiment of their own value. This is also true for Li Siming. At first, he only started from his own idealism, and the growth of personal wealth was just one of the results of the gradual manifestation of this idealism, and when he had money, he could do more charity.

Western civilization has nurtured a famous saying in the cause of charity: "It is a shame to die in a wealthy family." Li Siming had already made it clear in his family life that he would not let his son Li Xiaoming inherit his property. He would rather let his son be independent and self-reliant. This is one of the reasons why he sent his son to Shandong to study at a young age. This is his way of loving his son.

Idol-level characters always have a huge impact on society and some people. For a big singer, the fanatical fans can sell blood to get tickets to a concert. The jerseys of famous stars are always hot-selling, and even their words and deeds will make fans follow them. Of course, if a big star breaks out on a one-day scandal, the negative impact will be huge and will be criticized by the defenders thousands of times.

Li Siming, the recognized richest man in China, is naturally an idol-level figure. His wealth story and rich life experience have made young people worship it. According to news reports, several college students from Peking University collectively took a break from school to start a business, which has triggered heated discussions in society. Some of them are opposed and some of them agree, but most people still have a positive attitude towards this enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. This is also one of the lively topics when 1995 came, and this topic is even global.

"Li Siming is an outstanding member of Peking University, and his success naturally attracted everyone's attention. But young college students please note that although Li Siming himself has not completed his studies, please don't forget that he was an educated youth for five years, and his hard years in Heilongjiang were a great asset in his life. His entrepreneurial partners also had this experience, which is unimaginable for young students this year.

But he never gave up on his studies. Shortly after he was admitted to Peking University, he completed his electronics works. He just skipped his college student career. Li Siming himself also emphasized that it is better for young people not to delay their studies.

Young people who have not experienced the hardships of life should think carefully. Not everyone can succeed casually, complete their studies, enrich their knowledge, and increase their knowledge are the most important things for young college students at present. Young is wealth. As long as you learn the skills well and give yourself more tempering in life, this is to buy double insurance for your future entrepreneurship!" This is the view of mainstream public opinion, and the kind heart of love for talents is beyond words.

This is a good intention, but the next company called "yahoo" seems to have once again shown that the graduation diploma is really not worth mentioning. It turns out that young technology rich people are all ungraduated guys!
