Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 499 The Two-Material Agent
In this way, in the upsurge of a large number of .COM companies going public to collect money, on December 1999, 12, at this historic moment, the value concept of free was finally fully reflected with the help of green dollars.

On this day, the stock of VA Linux was issued to the public for the first time at a price of US$30. On the day of listing, the stock price soared by 733%, an unprecedented record!

The highest price of the day reached $320 and finally closed at $239.

There is no doubt that this is a feast for ambitious people!
Li Yiwen, who lives in the United States, witnessed this crazy moment with his own eyes. Before he had time to celebrate with Samuel Palmisano and others, he immediately called Lu Yiming back home.

"Cousin, you're going to get rich this time!"

Lu Yiming, who has been paying attention to the progress of the incident on the Internet, actually knew it well. Hearing what Li Yiwen said, he laughed and said, "Look at what you said, when will I not get rich? Besides, it's not that I want to get rich, but We're going to send it out, don't forget that you also invested a lot of money in this project. By the way, what's the situation in the U.S. stock market now?"

Li Yiwen couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, saying: "The whole Wall Street has fallen into madness. Everyone is discussing how to carve up Microsoft's "corpse". They are like a group of vultures, waiting for Microsoft's death."

Lu Yiming laughed loudly: "Let them continue to have a good dream. After all, stocks are a thing of selling dreams. If they don't dream, how can we make money?"

Li Yiwen has seen the madness on Wall Street in recent days, and it seems that it is "everyone's hope" to defeat Microsoft's monopoly. Even Li Yiwen wonders what will happen if Microsoft really meets a challenger.Hearing what Lu Yiming said, he couldn't help asking: "Is it true that VA Linux has no chance to challenge Microsoft?"

Lu Yiming said bluntly: "The only carnivales are vampires on Wall Street. They know nothing about programming? Linux is free and open source, how can it beat Microsoft? Don't programmers have to eat? If an industry doesn't make money, it doesn't make money. This industry is doomed to not have a large influx of top talents. Without talents, how can we compete with Microsoft? To generate electricity for love?"

"That makes sense!"

Lu Yiming's words instantly killed a trace of Li Yiwen's fantasy in the bud.

Who is the happiest?Only the prostitute party is the happiest.

What kind of people are the prostitutes?
They are generally losers in society, they have nothing they want, their hearts are higher than the sky, they are so poor that they eat grass roots and say that they are keeping in good health, but if you don't serve them, they think you can't do it.Every day, "pointing to the country and stimulating the writing dung to the thousands of households in the past", I don't know what respect is, and I feel that my breath is providing nutrients for the photosynthesis of the earth, and the whole world should be used to them.

As everyone knows, the dung soil still has some nutrients, but the prostitute party is useless.

With the approval of the whoring party, can Linux kill Microsoft?What a dream.

Lu Yiming warned: "Before I asked you to help me buy so many stocks of Linux companies in North America, I was indeed optimistic about Linux, but it is too early to talk about breaking Microsoft's monopoly and hegemony. Don't be fooled by others." Flicker and fall into the pit."

"okay, I get it."

Li Yiwen gradually calmed down, and secretly thanked Lu Yiming for helping him analyze the pros and cons.

As the largest investor in VA Linux, Lu Yiming's net worth soared by US$16 billion overnight, and even Li Yiwen became a billionaire because of this, becoming another living example of Linux helping to realize the "American Dream".

So it is inevitable to believe in the evil of Samuel Palmisano, and be fooled into believing that Linux will really become Microsoft's gravedigger.

Fortunately, Lu Yiming woke him up at a critical moment, so that he would not be so hotheaded that he would be tricked into rushing into the battle.

In the end, under the turmoil of the US stock market, the free and openness advocated by Linux has pushed the seesaw of making big money in this jaw-dropping way.

From the day it was created, this day has become a historical specimen of Linux concept stocks that can never be reproduced, but the speculative wave of Linux concepts it drove has continued to create such as Linux websites for a period of time after that. The legendary story of being acquired at a high price within a week of its opening.

Today's American stock market has begun to circulate a saying: Want to get rich?Then tinker with Linux!
Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen are also silently paying attention to the situation. Unlike other people's fanaticism, they maintain a calm mind and continue to slowly sell the Linux stocks in their hands. In addition to VA Linux, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen actually also invest in Many Linux-like companies.

According to statistics, the total amount of funds invested in Linux sites in 1999 was as high as 1000 billion US dollars!
Naturally, Lu Yiming would not be polite with such a piece of fat, so he came here uninvited, and in an extremely brutal way, he took a knife to the table to divide the meat.

But when Lu Yiming was feasting, the news finally leaked out. After all, in this world, fire cannot be contained by paper.

Within a few days, Bill Gates learned that he had been stabbed in the back. He called Lu Yiming and asked, "Lu, I need an explanation!"

Lu Yiming didn't try to fool around by pretending to be stupid. After all, that would be too insulting to Bill Gates' IQ, so he smiled very calmly: "Explain what? Mr. Gates is not talking about my investment in Linux, is it?"

Newspapers in the United States recently published this news.

Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen, two "savages" from the East, made money that should belong to white people. The total income exceeded 24 billion US dollars, which made people's eyes red.

In fact, if it was just for investment, Bill Gates would not be angry at all.As a capitalist, he still has a lot of competitors' stocks in his hands, just make money.The key is that Lu Yiming's identity of "Bill Gates' bosom friend" is taken as an important sign that Microsoft has betrayed all relatives.

It has to be said that as soon as this news came out, Microsoft, which had not completely escaped from the antitrust lawsuit, was hit hard again, and its stock price fell by several percentage points.This is what makes Bill Gates angry.After all, for a qualified capitalist, losing money is worse than beheading.

At present, Mingyuan Technology still has in-depth cooperation and communication with Microsoft on the two projects of USB flash drive and Tianyin MP3, so it is impossible to turn their faces directly, and the loss is too great.

Therefore, without saying a word, Lu Yiming confessed the inside information he knew.

"Mr. Gates, I invested in Linux just to make money. It is IBM who wants to dig Microsoft's grave. It is Samuel Palmisano. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to check it. He did everything. Yes, and it has been planned for a long time, but I have done nothing but buy and sell stocks."

"Really?"

Bill Gates was skeptical.

Lu Yiming swore: "I lied to you that you are a puppy!"

"Actually, I am not optimistic about the future of Linux. It is a joke to want to break Microsoft's monopoly on the PC side. At least in my opinion, this is impossible."

This clear-cut statement immediately eased Bill Gates' attitude a lot.

But as an old Ansa, it is impossible for him to believe what Lu Yiming said so easily. After all, the white skins themselves talk nonsense every day, bragging without drafting, and he has long been immune.

"Lu, I need you to prove it with practical actions, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand, I will sell the Linux stocks in my hand soon, even if you are willing to take over, for our friendship, I can sell all of them now."

The tone of Lu Yiming's mouth was slightly embarrassed, as if he was making a difficult decision.

But in fact, if Bill Gates really wanted to take over, Lu Yiming would definitely be overjoyed.

And Bill Gates, who was not at ease with Lu Yiming, a software genius, chose to bankrupt the disaster without hesitation.

"Let's make a price. I want all the Linux stocks in your hand."

Although Lu Yiming said he would sell it, how could Bill Gates believe it?
He felt that he had joined Lu Yiming's army.

Come on, don't you want to sell?OK, I bought it.

"Yeah... this..."

Lu Yiming had a surprised tone, as if he was doing something difficult like cutting flesh.

Bill Gates sneered in his heart.

Look, I knew you were bluffing here!
I believe you will sell?
Unless old sows can climb trees!
Come on, if you have the ability to sell, I'll take over directly!

"Hey, Mr. Gates, don't be impulsive. In fact, this matter is not as serious as you think. Linux stocks are not that valuable, and the prices are all inflated. How can I let you suffer?"

Bill Gates immediately said: "Don't worry about it, just say whether you can sell it or not. I have plenty of money, so I'm not afraid of losing money."

"Hey, since Mr. Gates said so, what can I do? For the friendship between the two of us...well, I will sell all the stocks to you...but at this price...Mr. Gates, We're talking business..."

"Do I owe you the money? I'll pay the market price directly."

"Ok."

Only then did Lu Yiming pretend to be forced and helpless, and sold all the Linux stocks in his hand to Bill Gates to show that he had no ambitions in this, and he had no intention of digging Microsoft's grave at all.

Bill Gates was very satisfied with his actions and believed what Lu Yiming said before.

"Lu, you really are my good friend."

Lu Yiming made money and smiled, but after all, he couldn't let Bill Gates see the clue, so he could only hold it in his heart.

"of course."

When Li Yiwen returned to China, the two checked their accounts, and found that during this trip to the United States, they directly harvested 27 billion US dollars from the leeks, far exceeding Lu Yiming's original expectation of 20 billion US dollars.

Li Yiwen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Good guy, you are really a god."

Lu Yiming was not satisfied, and said, "I only made less than 1000 billion dollars out of a market of 30 billion dollars, hey..."

"hiss……"

Li Yiwen couldn't stand it anymore, and complained: "The 1000 billion US dollars was invested in the entire Linux industry, and countless investors participated in the division. You can get so much by yourself, which already makes people jealous, you know? I I even almost doubted whether I could come back from America alive, it is simply too dangerous."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Didn't I arrange bodyguards for you? Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine."

Li Yiwen rolled his eyes: "It's so safe, why don't you go by yourself?"

Lu Yiming said as a matter of course: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit still."

Li Yiwen: "..."

In the past two months, Peng Dingguo has been under a lot of pressure. After all, the domestic stock market has really changed as Lu Yiming predicted, especially the stocks recommended by Lu Yiming. Hard to find.

In comparison, his forecast for the stock market is very sloppy, and it can't be said to be a wrong forecast, but the key is that his forecast is a car wheel, and reading it is equivalent to not reading it, but not reading it is not the same as reading it.

Peng Dingguo was very sad.

If this goes on, it looks like we're going to lose.

Do you really want to call Lu Yiming's father in front of the media?

He was absent-mindedly eating breakfast, but suddenly received a call from a friend.

"Did you read today's headlines? There is a stock god in Zhonghai."

Peng Dingguo was very upset. Now that he heard the word stock god, he almost had a stress reaction.He asked angrily: "Did Lu Yiming do any tricks again?"

The other side said: "No, the new China Overseas stock god is called Wang Xiujie. I heard that he is the ace analyst of Wanguo Securities. Now the whole China Overseas is full of news about him. Take a good look."

Hearing that it wasn't Lu Yiming, Peng Dingguo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Later, he found this morning's newspaper at the newsstand outside the breakfast shop, and he saw the relevant reports.

Ordinary people just watched the excitement. He was an insider after all, so he immediately noticed something was wrong.

Wang Xiujie, who came to Zhonghai in 1992 and joined Wanguo Securities, worked as a large account manager, operator, analyst, trader and chief trader successively?
Such an ordinary resume deserves to be called a stock god?It's so ridiculous!

Peng Dingguo smelled the smell of conspiracy. Although he was very unhappy with Lu Yiming, he was convinced of Lu Yiming's ability to make money. After all, it was a real record, and he deserved his name to say that Lu Yiming is a stock god.

On the other hand, this Wang Xiujie in the newspaper is outrageous. If he is really that awesome, does he still need to continue to be an analyst of a securities company?Isn't it good to come out to make money by yourself?

Peng Dingguo immediately thought that there might be a big boss behind the scenes.

After all, there are too many people in the circle to play the role of glove spokesperson.

He felt that this Wang Xiujie was most likely a tool man.

Just when he wanted to continue his in-depth research, the phone rang again.

"Ms. Peng, where are you? The program will be recorded at ten o'clock later, so I have to come here now."

Peng Dingguo looked at his watch and said, "I'll be there in half an hour."

He reached out to hail a taxi and said, "Go to the TV station."

Then he sat in the back seat and began to read the newspaper.

This is his daily routine.

It's his job to appear on financial programs.

On the show, chatting and chatting, we talked about the new Zhonghai stock god.

The host asked: "Mr. Peng, did you know that Zhong Hai has a new stock god recently? What do you think about this matter?"

Peng Dingguo thought about it, and said eccentrically: "It's funny to say, we have already produced many stock gods in Zhonghai, there is Yang Wanwan, the first generation stock god who claims to be not a stock god, and there is also a stock god who has never claimed to be a stock god, but is regarded as Xia Guo by everyone." Lu's richest stock god, now there is a new stock god from Zhonghai, don't you think there are too many stock gods?"

The host also smiled when he heard the words, and did not expose Peng Dingguo's petty thinking.

Who doesn't know the bet between Peng Dingguo and Lu Yiming?
At this juncture, Peng Dingguo is deliberately giving everyone eye drops.

Seeing that the host did not answer, Peng Dingguo felt a little resentful, so he continued, "Stock trading is a very serious and professional matter. If you want to make money from the stock market, instead of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, you should read more books yourself."

For the sake of ratings, the supporters didn't want to talk big things, and asked directly: "There are so many stock gods popping up now, which one do you like the most, Mr. Peng?"

This is obviously a fire, the former Yang Wanwan has now retired, and now there is only one stock god who never claimed to be a stock god, Lu Yiming, and Yang Xiujie, who seems to have problems.

After all, the bet between Peng Dingguo and Lu Yiming is here. Of course, he can't say that he is optimistic about Lu Yiming, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "Of course I am optimistic about this Yang Xiujie. Compared with the first two stock gods from Ye Luzi, I am actually more optimistic about Wang Xiujie. After all, he came from a professional background, and he followed the path of a securities company, everything has traces to follow, and his path can be emulated by ordinary people."

The supporter then pressed: "Why?"

Peng Dingguo thought about his choice of words, and then said: "Yang Wanwan got rich back then because of his courage and the wind of the times. Now that the trend has changed, this success cannot be replicated. As for the richest man Lu, his experience is even worse. It is because no one can imitate, but whoever learns will die."

I have to say that Peng Dingguo's character is not very good, but he still has some skills, so he told the truth in public.

Just like what he said, ordinary people can't follow Yang Wanwan and Lu Yiming's road to getting rich.

Although he knew that Peng Dingguo was deliberately denying Lu Yiming and that Yang Wanwan was a lying gun, the host was very excited.

This episode is very topical.

Zhonghai, Furi University.

Just after the final exam, Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue walked towards the cafeteria holding hands.

In the cold wind, Shi Qingxue was wearing a thick pink down jacket. Although she was wearing a hat, her cheeks were still flushed, like a cute porcelain doll.

Shi Qingxue curled her lips, and said with some distress: "I hope I won't fail."

Both Shi Qingxue and Lu Yiming were specially recruited.Lu Yiming himself was recruited because of his computer expertise, and he also studied computers, so naturally there is no possibility of failing the course.But Shi Qingxue's own strength is only a junior college, and she was specially recruited because of Lu Yiming. Although she is studying literature, which seems to be the easiest major, there are a few basic courses that are still very difficult to learn, such as English. .

These days, even if you are studying archeology, you have to learn English honestly.

Entering university from high school, Shi Qingxue was still a little unaccustomed to this kind of sheep-herding learning. After all, the teachers in high school were afraid that students would not be able to learn it, so they often broke it and smashed it to pieces and taught it as much as possible.

But universities are completely different. Not only are the class hours much shorter, but many teachers teach large classes and teach a large number of students. It is impossible to take care of every student, and students can only rely on their own self-consciousness.

So Shi Qingxue always felt that she had no idea.

Especially when the grades of all the other girls in the dormitory were higher than hers, the pressure was even greater, making her feel out of breath.

Lu Yiming comforted and said: "Relax, as long as you take classes seriously, the exams are usually not too difficult, at least it's easy to mix a diploma and a degree certificate."

Domestic universities are often strict in entry and wide in exit, so the real difficulty lies in the college entrance examination. On the contrary, it will be very easy to enter the university. As long as you don't risk your life, graduation is often not a big problem.

This is completely opposite to foreign countries, especially public high schools in the United States, which are truly happy education.

Lu Yiming changed the subject and said: "By the way, it took two months. The construction team has already renovated some of the rooms in Yan's garden. There is no problem with simple occupancy. We will probably be able to move in next semester."

Hearing that next semester they will be able to live in the villa with Lu Yiming, Shi Qingxue felt a little shy, but also vaguely looking forward to it.

After all, the current relationship between the two of them can be said to be gluey, and it is basically close to piercing the last layer of window paper.

Lu Yiming never did things to force Shi Qingxue, and Shi Qingxue naturally couldn't take the initiative to mention it. The two of them were waiting for a tacit time point, let nature take its course, and it will happen when it happens.
