Chapter 215 Topic (2)

Are you still studying hard to write your graduation thesis, don’t you feel too tired? Are you still stopping between the vast sea of ​​books in the library and the cold instruments in the laboratory, don’t you feel too monotonous?

Look at Bill Gates! He, a former Harvard student, became the boss without completing his studies, and just became the richest person on the planet; look at Ellison of Oracle Company! This guy who has not graduated from three universities and has not taken a computer class does not prevent him from becoming a programmer and a software company; look at Michael Dell! This guy, who is only 30 years old, entered the University of Texas after graduating from high school to take elective medicine at his parents. In the second year of college, he dropped out of school because of his excessive obsession with computers and his determination to make achievements in the field of PCs. Now his company has become a top 500 company in the world, and has become one of the world's five major computer systems manufacturers the year before. By the way, did the Chinese Li Siming not finish college step by step?

So, if you think you are no worse than the above characters, just take a break from school or just drop out of school to start a business! Are you still waiting for that graduation diploma and watching the opportunity flow away in vain?

Now there are two more people on this list, namely the two founders of Yahoo, two Stanford PhD students Jerry Yang and David Ferro. To be precise, they are going to be higher than that because they just don’t complete their doctoral thesis and devoted themselves to the Internet, and at least they have a master’s degree.

On April 12, 1995, yahoo was officially listed on Wall Street. The total stock price on the first day of listing reached US$500 million. In fact, yahoo's stock rose 154% on the first day of listing, while Netscape's first day of listing rose 102%, and other ordinary companies were only a few percent. The stock of this newly listed company attracted people from all walks of life to buy, causing the stock price to rise wildly. Overnight, two American youths were famous in history and entered the ranks of billionaires. This was the "garage legend" of the 1990s, which undoubtedly set up an idol of the younger generation for the United States, a country that advocated personal success. Yahoo's success has caused a whirlwind of entrepreneurship across the United States and Taiwan. College students no longer pursued entering companies with good treatment or studying for MBAs. Two and three of them formed their own group and entered the Internet network, like the cowboys who pioneered the wilderness of the western region, unswervingly.

The great significance of the Internet is to make the hearts of all young people who have the opportunity to get involved in this emerging thing begin to jump, and it doesn't seem to take too much effort to succeed. Young people become restless. Perhaps the desire for wealth and the great dream of making a name for themselves have led to a major incentive for technological progress and economic development. Young people are becoming manic and uneasy, from California to New York, from New York to Taipei, from Taipei to Beijing, from the United States to Europe, from Europe to Japan, countless young people have joined the surging Internet tide. Venture investors are also carrying large checks, looking everywhere for the next yahoo next netscape or the next Microsoft.

Countless undergraduate, master and doctoral students have given up their studies, followed the footsteps of Gates, Dell and others, and started their businesses without hesitation with dreams.

"If I take a break from school or simply drop out and start my own company, I can succeed and make a name for myself!" Young people think so.

Start a business! Maybe you will become second in Gates, second in Dell, and have a lot of money waiting for you, countless opportunities to appear in Fortune magazines, and may also make yourself an idol of more young juniors.

This era of knowledge economy is really crazy. Young college students with ideals and adventures have been devoted to the emerging Internet. Educators, university presidents and social observers have issued series of warnings:

"In the past few years, the proportion of students who are currently on the school day off and drop out of school has been increasing. It reached its highest point when the summer of 1995 is approaching. The Internet industry has become crazy because of the success of companies such as Yahoo. Bill Gates, Jerry Yang and Li Siming have brought a bad impact. Many young college students gave up their studies in pursuit of so-called success. The chances of this success are too small. Their prime time should have been spent in libraries and laboratories, rather than having dinner with venture capitalists in suits and ties, and talking about equity and business strategies!

College students’ quitting school or dropping out of school to start a business was a lively topic in the first half of 1995, and it was a global topic. Even China, which has just started its Internet career, is talking about this new term. With computers becoming increasingly entering Chinese schools and enterprises, China’s new generation of young elites have also begun to invest with great enthusiasm. Moreover, it seems that the construction of a website does not require too much investment - a server or several computers. The Internet is like a dressed-up public lover, which is praising and chasing. It itself is also rapidly developing and expanding, and most of them are blown up like balloons, either exploded or drifted away with the wind.

When people were amazed at the huge victory of Yahoo's successful listing, most people were surprised to find that the listing instructions of the company clearly recorded its largest shareholder besides the two founders - California MicroTech Venture Capital Co., Ltd. in the United States. People quickly found the real owner of the company, Hong Kong MicroTech Venture Capital Co., Ltd., and the shareholders of this company are the famous Li Siming and 30 other Hong Kong rich people.

"Why is it him again?" the American asked himself loudly, as if the delicious meal he had carefully cooked was taken away by an uninvited guest.

"Is yahoo a different Microsoft?" Investors sighed with regret that they failed to seize the opportunity while asking such questions.

"This world has really changed. Li Siming once again proved his superhuman vision in technology investment. When will we see him fail once?" More people are thinking about this question.

The other shareholders of MicroTech Venture Capital, the 30 rich people in Hong Kong, were once again conquered by Li Siming. Those rich people who invested less original equity in MicroTech Venture Capital were regretful.

"Mr. Li, do you want to expand your capital? I will never back down if you offer a price!" The rich people chased Li Siming and asked.

Li Siming became the "topic figure" in the first half of 1995, but fortunately he was not the "problem figure". He once again proved his vision of business investment, but he himself did not think so.

"I just respect history, it would be strange if I don't make money!" Li Siming laughed in his heart, and talked to the media about how professional Chen Shihao, the general manager of micro-technology innovation, was, and on the other hand, he was searching for the next profitable goal that he could start.

Time magazine once again listed Li Siming as the cover character of the first issue. Is this his 12th or 13th time on the cover of this journal with influential influence all over the world? I am afraid that the editor-in-chief of Time magazine is not very clear. Anyway, Li Siming, a very legendary person, always has a lot to write about, and news about him is always very interesting. As long as readers are interested, as long as there is news to dig, who cares if he is on the cover a hundred times or a thousand times? Li Siming's personal history, including the history of Hollywood in the United States, was once again flipped out and fryed into a delicious meal. Even the scandal that Li Siming was rumored to be proven to be fake news was also teased.

People began to pay attention to Li Siming's conversations every time he made public appearance, hoping to find out the clues of the next possible profitable deal. Li Siming was once like the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Mr. Greenspan, who was "golden words".

"Even if he is a hamburger delivery, I think he will be happy to order at a high price without any effort. The hamburger must be unique and must be as huge as a Boeing 747 plane!" The stock god Buffett used this hilarious tone to evaluate people's admiration for Li Siming.

Just as people were talking enthusiastically about the "topic figure" Li Siming, he was leading 12 young academicians from MSI Central Research Institute to debut in Beijing. This is the National Science and Technology Conference on May 26. This is their first public collective appearance and has become the focus of the entire event of China's most important scientific conference:

No company has ever had so many academicians, let alone a private company, and they are all returned overseas students, not poaching.

I have never seen many academicians so young, with an average age of only 39 years old, but they represent world-class standards in the fields of integrated circuits, electronic engineering, microelectronic lithography, advanced manufacturing, new materials, computer chips and wireless communications.

I have never seen so many such rich academicians. The total value of the stocks donated by MSI Technology Group reached 2.1 billion yuan. They are representatives of the knowledge economy and they illustrate the market value of a scientific and technological personnel.

Li Siming was invited to give a keynote speech. When a person becomes famous and has great influence, he has to attract people to pay attention to. The same is true for this speech. Li Siming is very happy to use this national highest-level science and technology conference to promote his philosophy:

"The gap in today's world lies in the gap in knowledge. In the past, we farmers and brothers relied on the weather to make a living. Whether we could solve the problem of eating more than one billion people was a serious test. Now we can work hard on pest control, agricultural irrigation systems, including hybrid rice, and increase the yield per unit area of ​​grain. This is the value of knowledge. We can turn the widely distributed silica in nature into computer chips worth thousands of dollars, which is also the value of knowledge."

"Today I am honored to share with you the representatives about our experience in MSI Technology. First of all, we must ensure that there is sufficient capital investment from the fundamental principle of the enterprise. The annual income of MSI Technology is 10% used for technology investment, and the experience of developed countries is 4%. We are behind others, so we must increase the proportion of technology investment."

"In this turbulent knowledge economy tide, the technological gap will increase the distance from this shore to the other side faster than major technological changes in history. To ensure that our science and technology industry catches up with developed countries, countries and enterprises must increase their investment. Government funds are limited, but we actually have a lot of private forces to use. Micro-Science Venture Capital is a good example. Why can't we let more micro-Science Venture Capital appear? Use more private forces to develop high-tech instead of relying on the power of the government!"

"First, establish the scientific concept of 'people-oriented'. As far as I know, 40% of the world's scientific and technological immigrants are attracted to the United States, 72% of the people working in science and engineering projects in the United States are born in developing countries. Currently, there are at least 50,000 Chinese scientific and technological talents working in Silicon Valley. Most of them are outstanding graduates from our universities or young people from scientific research institutions. Carefully analyzing the reasons for the loss of talents in our country, we must see our backwardness in management philosophy. When someone talks about this

The problem is that it is poor treatment. This is certainly a reason, but the key problem is that it emphasizes things over people. Some domestic research units, including enterprises, attach great importance to the ownership and configuration of research equipment. What they talk about is often experimental equipment and instruments, as if these are the strength and level of the research institute. It should be said that they value not talents, but equipment. However, even the most advanced equipment will become less advanced in a few years. Without talents, even if there are the most advanced equipment, they will not produce any decent research results.

Our MSI Central Research Institute once burned two-thirds of the fire, and the various research materials and text achievements accumulated over the years, including equipment, were burned. However, we are not afraid because all the researchers are still alive, none of them are injured, and they live a more exciting life!

Second, create an open scientific environment. Modern science is becoming increasingly complex and comprehensive. Many major scientific achievements often come from interdisciplinary and marginal disciplines. All the groups at our MSI Central Research Institute are interdisciplinary. Each group's research must take into account other groups and scientific fields. The majors learned by members of these groups are very different. A mobile phone is not only the result of basic communication technology, but also the crystallization of chip technology, the application of new materials, and the application of advanced manufacturing technology. You also need to consider the hand shape differences and aesthetic psychology of customers in the East and the West.

Third, the scientific community in our country lacks the critical spirit it deserves, which cannot be said to be related to the doctrine of moderation in traditional culture of "harmony is the most important" in traditional culture. In MSI Central Research Institute, many people are classmates and mentors, some are senior and veterans, while others have just graduated from university, but we must always maintain a social and cultural atmosphere where everyone is equal before the truth. The establishment of a project must rely on the participation of everyone in scientific analysis to determine its feasibility, and allow others to doubt and object during the research process. We allow mistakes, encourage competition, and encourage equal arguments on the matter.

Fourth, abandon the habit of being eager for quick success and instant benefits and eager for success. MSI Central Research Institute can be traced back to 1985, but we made a major breakthrough in 1991, which means that we have been working hard for nearly six years for the purpose of our hearts. In the field of science and technology, without a heart that is most devout to technology and without a heart that can endure loneliness, there will be no continuous progress."

Li Siming took advantage of this very rare opportunity to promote his own ideas. In his opinion, there are too few MSI Technology Group, at most no worse than foreign countries in a few fields, but the field of science and technology is widespread, and it involves all aspects. Li Siming hopes that by using this conference with representatives from the national science and technology community, more people can join in and move towards the peak of science and technology. There are too few MSI Research Institute. He hopes that more world-class Chinese research institutes will be born, making progress every day, growing every day, and finally making the stream of technology come together into a rushing river.

"Topic Character" Li Siming was on the People's Daily this time. He couldn't get rid of this "Topic Character" even though he wanted to. His wonderful speech in Beijing was published in full and was highly recognized by the official.

He should be relieved. While people are marveling at the technological strength and wealth myth of MSI Technology Group, they are also reflecting, learning and imitating. At least, a positive overall atmosphere has been formed in Shenzhen. In this place that is increasingly attracting scientific and technological innovation, ZTE, Huawei, and Lenovo Group, which has just moved its headquarters to Shenzhen, have already established a research system similar to MSI Research Institute, investing huge amounts of money, and have also carried out cooperation with MSI Research Institute from basic research to applied technology. A large number of enterprises, especially those private high-tech enterprises, have also formulated policies to give scientific researchers heavy rewards or shares.

Of course, some companies have just learned some basic knowledge, such as ceo, cfo, coo and cto, such titles as the stars in the sky, competing for beauty.

With the myth of science and wealth he created, Li Siming is increasingly exerting its huge influence. He not only has an influence in the science and technology, business and academic circles, but even in politics, Li Siming is increasingly exerting great influence. For example, shortly after the National University of Science and Technology held, the decision to accelerate the progress of science and technology, and to determine the implementation of the strategy of building a country with science and education, the legal policies related to venture capital were introduced, and the construction of the Shenzhen GEM stock market was accelerated. Within three months, a total of seven venture capital companies were born in Beijing and Shenzhen, which will become the first "incubators" of China's high-tech enterprises.
