Hannes is the tenth president of Stanford University, an expert in engineering and a legend in Silicon Valley.

The textbook he compiled in 1990 is listed as the Bible of computer systems!

It is a must-read for every engineer.

His achievements do not stop there.

This Stanford president is not only successful in academics, but also a famous and successful entrepreneur.

As early as 1984, he founded his own microprocessor company, which went public in 5 years and was sold to the technology giant Silicon Graphics for $400 million 3 years later.

In the late 1990s, he co-founded a communications company with Professor Long Ren.

Such a big man known as the Godfather of Silicon Valley stood up for Wang Lei, which immediately brought the event to a climax.

Internet companies that came out of Silicon Valley have stood up for Wang Lei.

When Yang Zhiyuan and Filo were interviewed by the media, they told many stories about their early days of entrepreneurship:

"When Yahoo was founded just half a year ago, we paralyzed the campus network many times. At that time, the thing we worried about most every day was being kicked out by the school."

"At that time, Netscape had not yet gone public, and we didn't even have a decent office. It was hard to imagine who would be willing to give us hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in financing at that time."

"Wang Lei only met us once in a scrapped school bus, and after seeing our search product, he resolutely approved our financing application and even gave us twice the funds."

"It's hard to imagine how Filo and I felt at the time. When I asked Wang Lei if he participated in the investment because he was also a Dragon Man."

"He shook his head decisively. He said that Yahoo Search was a great product, and it was Filo and I who moved him with our entrepreneurial passion."

Filo emphasized:

"It was his support that made us determined to start a business, which led to the story of us giving up our doctoral studies to start a business."

There was thunderous applause from the audience. If a company does not have a little story, it is destined not to become a legend.

Their entrepreneurial stories are very inspiring, and Yahoo's stock price has skyrocketed.

With Yahoo's lead, other entrepreneurs who came out of Stanford have spoken out for Wang Lei.

What makes Wang Lei laugh is that there is a technology fanatic named Master.

In 1995, 24-year-old Master studied materials science and applied physics at Stanford.

But after only two days of school, he made the same decision as Yang Zhicheng and Filo.

After successfully applying for the angel fund founded by Wang Lei at Stanford.

He decisively gave up his doctoral studies.

That year, Stanford lost three doctoral students, and Silicon Valley gained three more entrepreneurs.

Master used Wang Lei's money to establish the first online review company in history, which is equivalent to the combination of Dianping + Baidu Maps.

With the funds, Zip2 has developed extremely rapidly and reached cooperation with several very important newspaper companies.

Now that Yahoo is listed, Zip2 has also attracted many investors, and the latest valuation has reached the 800 million mark.

Master is indeed a child of destiny. He is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Of course, Master is just a slightly prominent example among many. Netscape, a giant invested by Wang Lei, and Amazon, which is about to go public, have spoken out for Wang Lei.

So much so that newspapers and magazines in the technology column are all praising Wang Lei.

Those who want to make trouble are completely silent.

Compared with some big capitals that only rush to invest in successful big projects, what Wang Lei does is more like what an entrepreneur should do.

Of course, some people will not give up on putting eye drops on Wang Lei.

They changed their thinking and began to praise Wang Lei's wealth in the United States.

It's okay to praise him.

It happened that Amazon was officially listed at this time.

On the day of listing, Amazon's stock was sought after by many shareholders, rising from the opening price of $28 to $46.

This also made Amazon's stock price soar to $1.12 billion!

According to the latest shareholder disclosure, Wang Lei's shareholding increased from 5.51% to 10.12%.

This gave those who were interested a reason to "praise" Wang Lei for their masters.

"Silicon Valley angel Wang Lei, another successful investment case.

Investing in Amazon, his investment of 500,000 US dollars brought a 100-fold return!"

"This is not the first time Wang Lei has made a successful bet. In his investment in Yahoo, he got a 700-fold return on one million US dollars. This number is still rising rapidly with the growth of Yahoo's market value."

"Although Netscape initially rejected Wang Lei's personal investment, Clark transferred part of his shares to him when Netscape went public. Through transactions in the secondary market, he controlled nearly 10% of Netscape's shares. It is estimated that this investment made WangLei made at least tens of billions of dollars in profit! "

Other media and newspapers reprinted this news report.

When Qi Xiaona put the newspaper in front of Wang Lei, she joked;

"Now it is said outside that you are the successor of Warren Buffett, the stock god. "

Wang Lei smiled indifferently, this is just the beginning.

For Yahoo and Amazon, this is just the beginning.

Yahoo's market value reached a peak of 100 billion US dollars in 2000, and the shares he held alone increased by 10,000 times!

If those who praised him knew this number, wouldn't they be jealous to the point of separation?

Not to mention that Amazon, which was reborn in the bubble, reached a peak market value of 1.09 trillion US dollars!

However, Wang Lei plans to sell off the shares of several Internet companies before the bubble bursts.

When Amazon's stock price drops to 6 US dollars per share, Wang Lei will buy the bottom again.

This back and forth can make Wang Lei get benefits that ordinary people can't imagine.

As for the praise of those big families, Wang Lei doesn't really care. He has passed the stage of caring about reputation. The huge interest group cannot be crushed by a few words from them.

Qi Xiaona frowned slightly and said with doubt:

"Are we really going to do nothing and let the news ferment? "

"Of course."

"These lackeys got one thing wrong. Now is the era of universal investment. The market is full of hot money and everyone is studying investment."

Qi Xiaona thought of something and said in surprise:

"They are praising you so much that it will only make investors admire you more and follow your investment footsteps!"

This is indeed the case. Wang Lei's record has made him even more respected than the stock god in the eyes of investors.

People are increasingly aware that investing in the Internet is profitable.

Didn't you see that Wang Lei is madly arguing for stocks of several Internet companies?

There is no need for stock brokers to do any more publicity.

Grandpas and aunts with pensions and federal social security are waving US dollars to rush into technology stocks.

There is a frenzy of buying stocks of Netscape, Yahoo, and Amazon.

And eBay, which has not yet been listed, has also become a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone.
