Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 241 Speech
Facing Lu Yiming's categorical refusal, although Li Jiahong felt very regretful, he did not persuade him.

After all, twisted melons are not sweet.

He retreated and said: "Mr. Lu, your family history is full of inspiration and legend. After reading the report about you, the students in our school all admire your talent and vision very much, and look forward to a more direct way. Therefore, after the study and discussion of the school board of directors, we decided to grant you the status of honorary alumni of Huangren College, reimburse you for the accommodation expenses incurred by staying in the hotel during this period, and ask you to do it again for the teachers and students of the school. Give a speech, cheer up the students, and spur them to work harder to learn knowledge, what do you think?"

In front of Lu Yiming, Li Jiahong behaved very politely, without any arrogance just because he was the principal.

Inviting Lu Yiming to give a speech at Huangren College was also a decision made after discussion by the school board.

In Xiangjiang, the students of Form [-] and [-] are preparatory students who are about to graduate, and they are about to step into the university campus and walk towards an unknown future.

They have a lot of confusion and anxiety about their own lives, which is the time when they need guidance from others.

Compared with the preaching of the elders, the words of Lu Yiming's genius-level peers obviously have more influence on the students in the school.

Li Jiahong had this idea.

I have already rejected Li Jiahong once just now, if I refuse again, it will be too shameful, and it will make Li Jiahong unable to step down.And Li Jiahong also reimbursed the accommodation expenses of the five-star hotel anyway, Lu Yiming felt that it would be harmless to give a speech, so he agreed.

"Okay, since Principal Li kindly invites you, then I will be disrespectful. The school does not have a tradition of evening self-study, so the time for the speech is set at eight o'clock in the evening. What do you think?"

Seeing that Lu Yiming agreed, Li Jiahong was very happy: "Of course I can arrange the time, but Mr. Lu, don't you need to make preparations in advance?"

In his opinion, since he wants to give a speech, he must at least prepare a speech first.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and said confidently: "It's a speech, but it's actually a chat with you, sharing my mental journey during this period, and my thoughts on society's success. What I'm talking about is the truth and the truth. No special preparation is required."

Li Jiahong Wenyan nodded happily: "That's good. I'll let Mr. Yue prepare the venue later. Mr. Yue..."

Yue Guodong standing next to him hurriedly stood up: "Principal."

"Hurry up and take someone to set up the meeting place, and then send a notice to the whole school to let the students prepare to come to listen to the speech at night."

"Ok."

This scene changed too fast. Lu Yiming, who was an exchange student before, turned into a genius who rejected the Ivy League schools. Now he has to give a speech to the teachers and students of the school in Huangren College. Turning into a lecturer made everyone around who heard the news feel complicated.

Especially Zhu Hanwen and others.

Before coming to Xiangjiang, who would have expected such a situation?

Li Jiahong had achieved his goal, so he stepped aside and said politely to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, let's go to class. I'll come and invite you after school in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and walked into the school under the eyes of the school leaders and senior students.

In Xiangjiang, a land where capital is king, it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

As long as you have money, things like "you call me dad, I call you brother, let's talk about our own" are all too common.It is not uncommon for everyone to call Mrs. Niu on the public face and to call her Xiao Tiantian in private.

In this world, after all, money has everything.

What money can't buy, you can't buy any other way.

Therefore, it is necessary to be famous as soon as possible, and it is even more important to make money as early as possible.

After entering the classroom, Lin Yuzhen felt as if she was still dreaming, she grabbed Lu Yiming's arm fiercely.

The defenseless Lu Yiming screamed, "Ah... what are you doing?"

Lin Yuzhen's expression suddenly dawned: "The principal personally picked us up at the school gate, I wonder if I'm dreaming."

Lu Yiming rubbed his arm depressedly: "Then you pinch yourself, why pinch me?"

Lin Yuzhen raised her chin as a matter of course: "I'm afraid of pain."

Afterwards, Lin Yuzhen blinked again, and looked at Lu Yiming with the gaze of a magical creature: "You actually refused to study in Harvard and Cambridge? Will you really not regret it in the future? That is the world's top prestigious school. How many people dream of it all their lives?" I want to study there."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Ordinary people are proud of being able to enter Harvard or Cambridge, but I am different. If I go, Harvard and Cambridge will be proud to have students like me. That is the territory of gringos. I can Let them get what they want? Impossible."

Lin Yuzhen rolled her big eyes, laughed and cursed: "You, you are really cheeky."

The afternoon lectures are held in the school's auditorium.

All teachers and students in the school were very interested in this speech, after all, Lu Yiming was considered a legend in Xiangjiang.

Fan Xueqin and Deng Yajing came to the door of the auditorium early after school in the afternoon to wait. They held notebooks and pens in their hands, as if they were about to attend some academic seminar.

Even more so with the boys.

Because when they think of a young man who is about the same age as them, relying on his own ability to earn hundreds of millions of net worth, they feel a surge of emotion, and they can't wait for their turn to be the next one.

In this era where money is everything, there is no better role model than a self-made young genius like Lu Yiming.

Not long after, Lu Yiming, accompanied by a group of school leaders, walked towards the auditorium.

Fan Xueqin grabbed Deng Yaqin's arm excitedly, looked at Lu Yiming with a peach blossom face, couldn't help stepping on small steps, and cheered in a low voice: "He's here, he's here, so handsome."

Although Deng Yaqian grinned in pain, she still stared at Lu Yiming intently, and muttered, "You are handsome and rich, you should look for a husband like this in the future."

Li Huishan next to her bit her lip, secretly regretting in her heart, she knew that she should have been more enthusiastic when they first met, and at least left a good impression.

It was too late to say anything now. Looking at Lu Yiming surrounded by the principal and several school managers in the center, Li Huishan felt that she had missed a hundred million.

The auditorium of Huangren College is very large, and it is estimated that there are thousands of people sitting there, and countless eyes are gathered.

Fortunately, Lu Yiming's psychological quality is good, otherwise he would have been so frightened that his legs would have been weak on the spot if he suddenly encountered such a big scene.

After Lu Yiming was surrounded on the stage, he looked calm. As the saying goes, money is a hero's courage. Now he has a net worth of more than one billion, and such a small scene can no longer affect him.

Lu Yiming casually took the wired microphone from the beauties of the etiquette club in cheongsam and stockings, cleared his throat, and then greeted everyone present: "Hello, everyone, I am Lu Yiming, from Baiyun City, the capital of Guangdong Province, and I am currently a senior in high school. The students, roughly equivalent to the sixth form here, are all about to go to college soon."

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

Leaving aside the facts, Lu Yiming's status as a senior high school student was easily recognized by everyone.After all, people love to fantasize. Lu Yiming was worth over [-] million before the college entrance examination, so I have no reason not to.

Am I weaker than others?

No one will admit it.

"I came to Huangren College to exchange and study. I didn't think about standing here and preaching to everyone, because I really hate preaching, and I am tired of listening to those big principles. So today, I am not prepared What a big reason, you just listen to me talking to myself here, just listen to it and have fun."

Lu Yiming's down-to-earth speech attracted countless laughter, and the entire auditorium was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.Many students who were preparing to take notes with a serious expression on their faces were relieved, and then their mood became relaxed subconsciously.

Zhu Hanwen is a traditional person. He thinks that the speech should be based on the scriptures, prepared in advance and read according to the manuscript, so as not to make any mistakes.How to start the whole speech, how to ask questions, how to expand, how to sublimate... should be done step by step.

But now when he heard Lu Yiming open his mouth on the podium, Zhu Hanwen always felt uneasy, fearing that Lu Yiming would accidentally say the wrong thing and cause trouble.

However, Lu Yiming is not a person who likes to follow the rules, and he didn't regard this speech as a serious report meeting, let alone gaining benefits and fame from it, so his current state is very relaxed.

"I think all of you here are young people. This reminds me of the sentence in Lu Xun's article, "May the young people get rid of the air-conditioning and just go up. Don't listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things can speak out." There is a little heat, a little light, like a firefly, and you can shine a little light in the dark, you don't have to wait for the torch, if there is no torch after that: I am the only light. If there is a torch, there will be no fire The sun, we will naturally disappear with all our heart and soul, and not only will there be no complaints, but we will also praise the torch or the sun as we please; because it has illuminated human beings, including me.'”

"I like Lu Xun's articles very much. I think he is the alarm bell and the scale. When more and more of his articles appear in our textbooks, it means that our society is getting better and better. On the contrary, if we In the textbooks, Lu Xun appears less and less, which shows that some people are afraid of his appearance, and I believe I don’t need to say more about what this means.”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to be preaching here again. Look, I can't blame those teachers and scholars. It's not that they want to preach, but this place has such magic power."

He stomped his feet fiercely, lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "It's all your fault."

The people below were stunned for a moment, and then roared with laughter.

"Closer to the subject, I believe everyone knows why the school invited me to give this speech. Isn't it because I made a lot of money? I believe you have heard about the Xiangjiang Financial Defense War? I firmly believe in the country and actively Participating, so I made money. And those who don’t believe in the country and Xiangjiang are all at a loss, and those who jumped off the building lined up. Why is this? Because of choices. Looking back at a person’s life, you will find that choices are often more important than choices. Hard work is more important. If you choose the right path at the right time, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but if you make a mistake, you will be miserable. It is good to get twice the result with half the effort, but if you make a mistake, you will be hated forever."

Lu Yiming talked and laughed happily on stage without any stage fright.

But in the audience, Wu Qiuya was deeply fascinated by it, thinking that a confident man is really handsome.

After talking for a while, Lu Yiming's mouth felt a little dry. After drinking half a bottle of mineral water, he smiled again and said, "I always say it alone. I think everyone will be annoyed by it. Now you are allowed to ask questions. Anyone who has any questions wants to ask me?" ?"

The students in Xiangjiang received Western-style education, and they had a strong desire to show off. Many students immediately raised their hands high and showed enthusiasm.

Lu Yiming glanced at him, found a boy who looked more sunny and handsome, and said, "You're such a handsome boy, I'll let you."

A staff member immediately handed over the microphone.

The classmate took the microphone, first introduced himself, and then asked bluntly: "I just want to know, how did you start from scratch and earn a billion dollars at the age of 17?"

Sure enough, young people talk about life and paths too broadly. It’s better to be more down-to-earth. Smart people know that they have to talk about money.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I said it before, if you want to succeed, choice is more important than hard work."

The other party was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and then asked some details: "Student Lu, the newspaper said that you made your first pot of gold by teaching yourself computer programming, and then earned it from Bill Gates, the richest man in the world. $30, is that true?"

Lu Yiming held the microphone and laughed brightly: "Of course it's true. Bill Gates even invited me to join Microsoft. I thought his salary was too low, so I didn't agree. The richest man in the world only pays me so much." ? An annual salary of [-] US dollars, what about beggars?"

The students roared with laughter. Lu Yiming's way of speaking was really funny. This kind of casual and free and easy style fit the preferences of young people.

"Converted into Hong Kong dollars, Bill Gates gave you almost a million annual salary at that time, right? Is this still low?"

"Yes, for me, it's really low, because in the second month after rejecting this offer, I used the 30 US dollars he gave me as capital and made [-] million US dollars."

Although this is a story that was written in a newspaper, it is naturally different after being told by Lu Yiming himself.

After rejecting the million-dollar annual salary, he made [-] million backhandedly.

Both rich and poor people were silent.

As he has been emphasizing just now, choice is often more important than hard work, because no matter how hard you work, you may be able to earn a million dollars a year and join the middle class.

But if you want to become famous and rich, hard work is useless. You have to make the most correct judgment on key choices.

"Okay, the question is over, thank you."

The classmate sat down.

Lu Yiming asked, "Is there any more? One more."

Immediately, many people raised their hands, including Li Huishan.

Lu Yiming pointed at Li Huishan and said, "It's just you."
