Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 246 Your Future Is My Past

Lu Yiming reached out his hand and shook hands with the other party, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, hello, Mr. Page, I have heard of your name many years ago, and you have always been my idol."

Although I don't quite believe the truth of Lu Yiming's words, I am still very happy to be complimented. With just a few words, Larry Page's perception of Lu Yiming has improved a lot, at least he doesn't think he is annoying .

Lin Yuzhen looked curiously at the brown-haired ghost in front of her. His casually dressed and unkempt image was far from the "European and American business elite" in her heart.

Could it be that in Europe and America, all the wage earners wear suits and ties. Is it normal for rich bosses to wear them like this?

There are more and more question marks in Lin Yuzhen's mind.

Although there are many foreigners in Guangdong Province, she has long been familiar with them, but this is the first time she has met such a rich foreigner face to face.

But at this moment, Larry Page's eyes were focused on Lu Yiming: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, you can really talk. I am looking forward to further communication with you."

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and instructed Zhao Tiezhu behind him to help Larry Page carry the suitcase, and then greeted him: "Mr. Page is exhausted, I think we should find a place to have a cup of coffee first, and then eat some traditional Xia Guo delicacies , let’s talk about communication.”

After leaving the airport, Lu Yiming invited Larry Page into his Rolls-Royce Silver Spur.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and gold clothes, among other things, as soon as the Rolls-Royce silver thorn came out, Larry Page immediately looked up to Lu Yiming again.

"Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn, this is not cheap."

Larry Page sat on the soft leather seat, feeling more and more envious in his heart, rich people really enjoy it!
Unlike an entrepreneur like him, although he has obtained some financing, it has basically been invested in the operation of the company. Now Google does not even have a decent office space, let alone spending money to squander and enjoy it like Lu Yiming up.

Sitting in a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, Larry Page can only hope that after he realizes the freedom of wealth, he will live a chic life like Lu Yiming.

However, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur that Larry Page envied so much, in Lu Yiming's view, is just a more comfortable means of transportation.

Therefore, he is very generous: "If Mr. Page likes it, I can give it to you."

As he said that, Lu Yiming handed Larry Page a can of Coke casually, and then said a little compliment: "I won this car anyway by betting, if it can be used in exchange for the friendship of the founder of Google, then It’s such a bargain.”

Larry Page couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that Mr. Lu likes to bet with people, and I was also attracted by you because of your bet. I am very impressed with the story of this silver thorn becoming a bet." Interested, can you tell me about it?"

"Do you know the Xiangjiang financial defense battle some time ago? It is one of my trophies."

When Larry Page heard Lu Yiming mention the Xiangjiang Financial Defense War, the expression on his face suddenly became serious, and he also respected Lu Yiming.

The Xiangjiang Financial Defense Battle not long ago not only left a profound impression on Xiangjiang, but also caused quite a stir in the world's financial circles.

After a group of Wall Street tycoons had just experienced a financial crisis affecting the whole world, they were just about to suck some blood from Xiangjiang who returned to Xia Country, but they lost even a little of the principal they had saved with great difficulty.

Of course, in the reports of the Western media, it is natural that despicable dictators have shamelessly interfered in the free market.

If Lu Yiming saw these reports, he would definitely not be able to help but ridicule: Does a beautiful country deserve to talk about fairness?

The two did not talk too much about this matter involving the strategy of a great power, but chatted about their respective legendary experiences. Larry Page looked at Lu Yiming in amazement: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Lu would also Participated in the Xiangjiang financial defense battle, so it seems that you won?"

Lu Yiming nodded and smiled old-fashionedly: "Of course, I will always stand by my great motherland. In this financial battle, I made a small fortune, only a few hundred million dollars, not too much, not too much."

"Hundreds of millions of dollars!"

Larry Page was stunned by the number.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been wrong before.

The young man in front of him is not some mysterious rich second generation from the East at all.

Like him, Lu Yiming is a self-made entrepreneur. Even in comparison, Lu Yiming's starting point is even lower than him.At least he got $100 in angel investment, and later raised $[-] million in start-up capital through a group of friends and relatives from his parents' Jewish community.

But what about Lu Yiming?What does he have?
At the very beginning, Lu Yiming was almost penniless. Even the computer used for programming was obtained on credit.

Obviously, Lu Yiming's struggle inspired Larry Page, and he couldn't help feeling sorry for Lu Yiming, and the conversation became more active: "I heard from other places that your start-up capital of 30 US dollars came from Investment in Microsoft? Is there such a thing?"

At the beginning, Lu Yiming relied on a patch and verbal threats to convince Bill Gates to soften him, and bought that piece of code from Lu Yiming for $30.

In the external publicity, Microsoft will naturally not admit that its system vulnerabilities were found and repaired by a Xia country boy less than two weeks after the software was launched, and even extorted 30 US dollars.

Once this is said, Microsoft's stock price will definitely avalanche, and even the legitimacy of monopoly will be questioned.

Therefore, in the external publicity, the 30 US dollars became an investment in Lu Yiming.

After hearing Larry Page's words, Lu Yiming naturally wanted to speak with Microsoft, and immediately said with a smile: "I promised Mr. Gates not to disclose the details of our cooperation, so I'm sorry, Mr. Page."

Larry Page didn't continue to ask questions.

Rolls-Royce returned to the Parkin Hotel from the airport.

Zhu Hanwen, who was chatting with several other students in the lobby, saw that Lu Yiming had gone out and brought a foreigner back, and suddenly became numb. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Lu Yiming aside, and asked in a low voice: What's going on? Why did you bring a foreigner back?"

Lu Yiming blinked innocently at the head teacher, and finally even got off the hook: "Sorry, it's a business secret, and I have no comment."

When Zhu Hanwen heard this, he immediately became angry.

What happened to this class of students?This is a billionaire, and he talks about business with foreigners while studying, and he can't beat or scold him, and even asking a question is a commercial secret. It's really hard to be a teacher.

Lu Yiming saw the constipated expression on Zhu Hanwen's face, and immediately felt the joy of having succeeded in a prank.

He came to Larry Page and introduced in fluent English: "I am still a student, currently studying in Xiangjiang Exchange, and this is my leading teacher, and these are my classmates, today Let's have dinner together tonight."

"of course can."

Hearing that Lin Yuzhen was Lu Yiming's classmate, not Lu Yiming's secretary, Larry Page knew that he had misunderstood, and somehow felt a sense of relief in his heart.

That's right, at such a young age, not only has he earned so much money, but he also has such a beautiful secretary, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense!
During the meal, everyone was very curious about the appearance of Larry Page, after all, this is a lively foreigner.

Although after coming to Xiangjiang, people will not feel particularly rare when they see foreigners, but it is the first time that they have such close contact like now.

Then the girls looked enviously at Lu Yiming and Larry Page talking and laughing happily in American English. The two talked fluently and at a very fast speed, so fast that many of them couldn't understand at all.

Several girls couldn't help whispering to each other and started whispering.

"Lu Yiming's English is so good, I can barely hear a few words clearly."

"Listening to their conversation, I seem to recall the fear of being dominated by 'nine pounds and fifteen pence'."

"He looks really handsome when he's serious."

Naturally, Lu Yiming did not hear these words, but Li Zhengkai, who was sitting next to the girls, heard them clearly.

Seeing that even Wu Qiuya, whom he was thinking of, was praising Lu Yiming for being so handsome, his heart was as sour as if he had eaten eighteen lemons in one go.

He felt that since he came to Xiangjiang, his sense of existence was getting lower and lower day by day.

Today, Wu Qiuya praised Lu Yiming for being handsome in front of him, which stimulated his sensitive nerves even more.

Li Zhengkai secretly vowed in his heart that he must practice his oral English well, and then he must talk and laugh happily with foreigners, so that he can win back in front of everyone!
However, facing Li Zhengkai who was full of fighting spirit, at this moment Lu Yiming was not in the mood to pay attention to the random thoughts of the students around him.

Because he had to convince Larry Page to accept his investment as soon as possible.After exchanging a few pleasantries as usual, Lu Yiming began to ask questions purposefully: "Mr. Page, what do you think of the city of Xiangjiang?"

Larry Page said sincerely: "There is no doubt that this is a huge city. There are people everywhere in my field of vision, and there are many cars on the road. Everyone is dressed very decently. Even the hotel we are in now It is also very luxurious, completely overturning my inherent impression of Xia Guo. If I hadn't come here in person, I don't think I would have believed everything I saw before my eyes."

Xiangjiang has a small land and a lot of people. It can be said that every inch of land is precious. Walking on the street, there are crowds of people everywhere. This is one of the most impressive scenes for Larry Page.

The beautiful country is vast and sparsely populated. Except for a few metropolitan cities, many towns have a permanent population of tens of thousands.

For example, Mountain View City, where Google is currently located, has a population of only [-], which is less than a fraction of the number of Xiangjiang residents.

Even though Xiangjiang is located in Asia, it is an international metropolis where Eastern and Western cultures meet.

Even if you are a foreigner, you will not feel any inconvenience at all living here. You can basically find everything that is available in Western countries, but you can also find elements that are not available in Western countries.

This is Xiangjiang, a splendid oriental city.

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Sometimes it is very helpful to go out for a walk more often to broaden one's thinking and horizons. Many media are promoting that Xia Guo is still very backward, still in a primitive society, and does not even use electric lights. On. In fact, anyone with a little bit of brain will not blindly believe such a statement. You know, we will soon enter the 21st century. Xia Guo is not isolated from the world, so how can there be no such things? ?In fact, even the most advanced computers, there are many in Xiaguo, and there are many elites in Xiangjiang, who are already proficient in using Google search services."

Larry Page very much agreed with Lu Yiming's point of view: "It is indeed the case. I feel ashamed of my previous cognition. I really shouldn't listen to the nonsense of those media mouthpieces."

Lu Yiming then went on to say: "The application and popularization of new technologies are making this world more and more beautiful, but in my opinion, it is not perfect enough. I have an ideal blueprint for the future in my heart. I think To change the world."

Most people can only conform to the trend of the times by changing themselves.

But there are always a small number of people who hold dreams in their hearts and are determined to change the world into what they desire even if they do everything they can.

Times create heroes, and heroes create times.

Lu Yiming has witnessed everything about the future with his own eyes, and he has seen how beautiful the future life is, so he can't wait to push the whole world into the "shape" he is familiar with and longs for.

Larry Page saw the light in Lu Yiming's eyes, and even heard his bold words, so Larry Page felt that he was the same kind of person as Lu Yiming.So emotionally excited: "Can you tell me what kind of future you see in your eyes?"

Lu Yiming's eyes seem to be immersed in nostalgic memories, but they also have a vision for the future: "The future I am looking forward to is to wake up early every day, pick up a smart terminal that is only the size of a palm, and then be able to easily I know today’s weather, traffic conditions in the city, etc. all the news I need to know through the Internet. When I am eating breakfast, I can browse news and facts with just a flick of my finger..."

"If I need to drive to a strange place to do something, but I am not familiar with it at all. But it doesn't matter, I connect to the Internet through the car computer, an electronic map is matched with an exclusive intelligent navigation system, I just need to follow the instructions Just move forward, don’t worry about getting lost at all…”

"I've been busy all day, and work has exhausted me physically and mentally. It's time for me to have an interesting adventure in the virtual world with my family or friends. Through the Internet, I can communicate with the whole country and the world, familiar or unfamiliar friends, play together, communicate together, and the relationship between people is no longer bound and blocked by long distances, we can freely swim freely in the ocean of information..."

"..."

Lu Yiming said a lot, and Larry Page couldn't help but be fascinated by it. This new way of life relying on the Internet is exactly the future he longs for.

Undoubtedly, Lu Yiming's "vision" for the future deeply touched Larry Page's heart, making him understand that the young people in front of him share the same philosophy as him and are eager to use technology to change the world.

What other shareholder can compare to a like-minded "comrade-in-arms"?
