Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 266 The Myth of Apple

Niu Xiaoqiang was not very good and refused Watson's proposal abruptly, so he could only adopt a roundabout strategy. He pretended not to believe and asked: "Is the United States really that good? Why do I think it is not reliable?"

Watson immediately raised his head, looking like you are really ignorant: "If you don't say anything else, just talk about Silicon Valley in California. Do you know how powerful it is? Seven or eight out of ten of the hottest computer industries in the United States are located there. While starting a business, such as Apple, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Oracle, these are companies that I am very optimistic about. Many of them were founded by college students or professors, and some are even college students who have not yet graduated Thanks to the rapid development and popularization of the computer industry, many companies have achieved excellent performance."

Watson mentioned here and gave an example: "Take Apple as an example. One of the young people who founded this company was only 21 years old, and the other was only 26 years old. This company was founded in 1976. It mainly operates Personal computer products, five years later, at the end of 1980, they were successfully listed and promoted to the world's top [-] companies! Four billionaires were born among the top management of the company! Dozens of millionaires or multi-millionaires! The unit of denomination here is the U.S. dollar! Think about it for yourself, is starting a business in the U.S. more promising than in China?"

Niu Xiaoqiang stood on the spot like a clay sculpture, his face full of shock.

He originally thought that he was already a very powerful person. Starting from being poor and white, he started to create Hope Farm. In less than a year, the asset size was nearly 10 yuan. Looking at the whole of China, that is quite a proud performance.But when compared with other Apple companies, Niu Xiaoqiang realized that he was still watching the sky too much.

In five years, he has been promoted from an entrepreneur to a billionaire, and he is still a billionaire denominated in US dollars. How many years will he have to work hard in China to achieve such an achievement? !

Niu Xiaoqiang once made a very detailed plan and evaluation of his career. According to his most optimistic estimate, he should be able to earn 30 RMB within six months, become a millionaire within one year, and become a millionaire within five years. It is possible to become a multi-millionaire within.If you want to become a billionaire in dollar terms, it will take ten years at the earliest.

According to the current official exchange rate, 20 million U.S. dollars is equivalent to about 20 million renminbi. If calculated according to the real market price (that is, the black market exchange rate), [-] million U.S. dollars is equivalent to [-] billion renminbi!What is this concept?Niu Xiaoqiang, who is full of ambitions, only dares to dream of being a billionaire at this stage, and he dare not even dream of the dream of being a billionaire!

The people at the table could not understand the conversation between the two.Although the accompanying interpreter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is proficient in English, Watson deliberately sped up his speech in order to strengthen his persuasiveness. Except for Niu Xiaoqiang, no one could understand what numbers they were talking about, so he was very concerned about Niu Xiaoqiang's expression. Everyone felt very puzzled by the sudden change in appearance, and looked at him with curious eyes.

Niu Xiaoqiang's blood was a little boiling, and he took a few deep breaths before he said, "Professor, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Watson pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "You thought I was a liar when we first met, and now you say I am lying to you. Is it possible that I am so unreliable in your eyes?"

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed twice: "The main reason is that what you said is so amazing, I can't believe it."

Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was moved, Watson hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "The United States is in the initial stage of the wave of computer informatization, and opportunities are everywhere. As long as you have excellent technology and extraordinary vision, you want to copy the myth of Apple. It’s not a problem, relying on your mind, I firmly believe that you will be successful, Xiaoqiang, you should go to the United States with me, as the deputy director of the Department of Computer Science at MIT, I still have sufficient human relationships, you Chinese are not Do you all like to engage in human relationships? If I come forward to help you mediate, it will definitely be easier for you to start a business over there, and success is just around the corner."

Niu Xiaoqiang was just shocked by Apple's myth of getting rich just now, that's why he lost his composure.At this moment, he has gradually calmed down, and naturally he will not be so one-sided in thinking about the problem.

Although Professor Watson painted him a beautiful prospect that could be called a fairy tale, he knew that nothing in the world was that simple.Although I am very capable and aggressive, I don't know anything about the computer industry, and I have never heard of computer technology. If I rashly follow Watson to the United States, my career in China will be very worrying.

It took him so much hard work to get to where he is today. It is no exaggeration to say that everything he has done so far is the result of his painstaking efforts. How easy is it to get him to give up?

Furthermore, if he goes to the United States, what will Master do?Fang Dongping was still counting on Niu Xiaoqiang to take care of him until the end of his life. No matter how much Niu Xiaoqiang loves money, the most important thing is family affection.The purpose of his business is to help his family live a good life, so that they can live happily and be no longer oppressed by the burden of life.This is fundamental.

Fang Dongping is like his own grandfather in his heart, and he is also considered his family.He had personally promised Fang Dongping that he would definitely help him with his retirement. If he went to the United States now, wouldn't it be equivalent to reneging on his promise and getting fat?

Fang Dongping was so kind to him, how could Niu Xiaoqiang, who was so nostalgic, do something that made the old man sad?Why does he look down on his own brother Niu Xiaogang so much?Isn't it because Niu Xiaogang is a cool person by nature?If Niu Xiaoqiang did the same thing as Niu Xiaogang, he would look down on himself.

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Niu Xiaoqiang's mind, and he quickly made a decision: "Professor Watson, I am very grateful to you for treating me highly. There is no reason for me to refuse the conditions, but I still have to answer you with regret that I cannot follow you to study in the United States for the time being."

Watson was almost not mad with anger, he suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "I want to know what is the reason for this?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained with a smile: "First of all, because I still have concerns in China, haven't you always been curious about the fact that I understand advanced mathematics at such a young age? I can tell you the answer now, I can have today, In fact, it is because I have a very good teacher, he was once a university professor just like you, and it is under his guidance that I can achieve my current academic achievements."
