The man who turned the times

Chapter 416 Yan Da's Speech
On the stage.

Su Yang looked around the crowded hall and spoke with a smile.

"Everyone, teachers, friends, freshman students, good afternoon."

"Being favored by the principal gave me this opportunity to stand on the podium of Yanda University to communicate and learn with you. I feel very honored for this and thank the principal for his affirmation."

His voice was amplified by a loudspeaker and passed into everyone's ears.

Lin Jianwei in the audience smiled calmly when he heard Su Yang praise him so much.

Su Yang said: "When discussing with the principal in the office, he asked me to tell some inspirational stories, such as my own experience in the past two years."

"At that time, I thought about it and refused. The principal was unhappy at the time and almost hit me."

Lin Jianwei's face darkened, you son of a bitch, it turned out that the promotion just now was for discrediting now!

By the way, when am I going to hit you, I am a civilized person, I never do it, you are talking nonsense, this is slander!

Today's young people are too insidious, let me tell you, if you do this, you will not find a girlfriend.

Su Yang smiled: "I told the old man, it's not that I don't want to speak, but that I can't speak. I'm afraid that everyone here will be hit after I speak out."

"Before, on many occasions, someone asked me: Su Yang, why did you succeed, and why did you manage to make Yuanyang Group such a large scale within one or two years."

"I said: I was lucky, but they didn't believe it. But the fact is exactly the same. I was really lucky. I don't lie to everyone."

After a pause, Su Yang continued: "Because the reason why I was successful and Yuanyang was able to grow big was not because I was smart, handsome or attractive, but because I was born in this best era, the era with the most opportunities .”

"Yuanyang's development to today's scale is definitely inseparable from everyone's development and construction, but I think it is more because we stand on the cusp of the times and just seize the opportunity to ride the wind. Today we have I am now Yuanyang."

"Under such circumstances, talking about my entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurial thinking at that time is actually an afterthought, which is of little significance."

"Especially after you listen to it, you won't have any other feelings except that I'm showing off, and you won't gain anything, because the road I walked is purely the advantage of the times, pure luck, and I can't go copy."

"If you don't believe me, even if I am reborn before starting a business, I don't have the confidence to build a group as large as Yuanyang is today."

What Su Yang said was actually half true and half false.

It is true that others cannot replicate his success, and everyone here knows it well.

However, to come to this point purely by luck is another fool.

With pure luck, game companies cannot develop, payment cannot develop, and Taobao and takeaway are even more useless.

As for semiconductors, there is basically no need to mention that kind of high-end gadgets.

Without advanced vision and excellent technology, we can only explore slowly.

However, Su Yang, who is crossing the river by feeling the stones, cannot be as courageous as before. It is unrealistic to make Yuanyang to such a large scale within a year or two.

Without seven or eight years of carefulness, without experiencing various failures, success can only be a luxury for him.

"So, what inspirational chicken soup, let's not talk about it today, let's talk about this era, and talk about my views on the future world."

During the few hours at noon today, Su Yang sorted out his views on the future.

Therefore, in the current speech, he combined these views with some information from his previous life, and simply described them.

In general, there are five directions.

New retail, new technology, new manufacturing, new finance, new resources.

The speech lasted more than an hour.

At the end of his speech, Su Yang said: "For the future, the third technological revolution driven by the Internet can be obtained by human beings, because it is not illusory. It is the result of the birth of human civilization itself and the development of human technology..."

"As long as you grasp it and learn it, no one can be eliminated. Of course, whoever resists the future, whoever does not grasp the future, who does not change his present, then he will definitely be eliminated by history."

Next, move on to the question section.

A tall boy wearing glasses held a microphone and said: "Senior Su Yang, in your speech just now, I noticed a problem. You seem to be critical of the traditional retail industry."

"But in fact, e-commerce accounts for less than one-thousandth of the retail industry. Can you tell me why you think the traditional retail industry is not doing well?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "I spent more than an hour talking about e-commerce, and I only talked about e-commerce for a few minutes, but you just paid attention to this issue. Stay a little bit and don’t let people go short-sighted.”

"Your question, let's put it this way, I'm not afraid of offending traditional retailers, because they already have shortcomings."

"Don't look at the fact that the traditional retail industry is doing very well, but in fact, they are killing the enthusiasm of consumers and living on their laurels."

"Most traditional retail companies do not have any technological innovation and development, and companies that do not help promote social progress will be eliminated sooner or later."

"In modern cities, take Jianghai City and Yanjing as an example. Many traditional retail industries have been greatly impacted by e-commerce or the Internet in the past six months."

"I personally think that they have not grasped the direction of the future, did not see the changes of tomorrow, and only saw the benefits of yesterday."

"Or because I saw it, I was afraid of failure, I didn't dare to break through, and I just wanted to guard the current one-acre three-point land, so I went downhill."

Su Yang paused, looked around and continued, "The times are improving every day. This is a fact. Think about it, can ten years compare with the present?"

"Not at all. I don't know how many times better today than ten years ago, and I don't know how many times better than today ten years later."

"So, how to adapt to this ever-changing era, how to cooperate with Internet companies, how to cooperate with modern logistics, how to make good use of big data... are all things that traditional retailers must seriously consider."

"I know that what I said today, many people will think that I am talking big, and most people will not take it seriously."

"But I will leave it here. These people will definitely regret it someday in the future."

"Okay, next one."

A literary girl wearing glasses asked: "Senior Su Yang, you started your business when you were in high school, and now you have succeeded in your sophomore year. Many people say that studying has little to do with future achievements. , do you think so?"

Su Yang replied: "This is a very thoughtful question. From my personal point of view, reading is very important. It is so important that it determines your fate."

"As for those who say that reading is not important, they are all liars, or they don't understand the importance of reading at all. Many successful entrepreneurs will tell you that reading is not important, the important thing is to dare to fight."

"I'll tell you that once someone says something like this, he's probably a big fool."

"They tell you that reading is not important, but they are cramming for knowledge, taking other people's important ideas to make up for their own deficiencies."
