Rebirth of the Wild Age

In another time and space, some people say that Web2.0 is an outright hype, a huge scam jointly directed by Internet researchers pursuing novelty, Internet entrepreneurs eager to get rich, and Wall Street venture capitalists.

Regardless of whether this argument is valid or not, it does reflect some of the problems in the Web 2.0 craze.

At that time, the haze caused by the cold winter of the Internet still hung over the Silicon Valley for a long time and could not dissipate. A large number of Internet practitioners do not know where to go, and Wall Street's venture capital is in a pit, desperately hoping that there will be a day of unwinding. When a network research expert put forward the concept of Web2.0, the first two immediately became a treasure and began to join forces to make a crazy hype.

No matter whether the concept of Web 2.0 is correct or not, it must be correct; no matter whether Web 2.0 is useful or not, it must be useful!

In the minds of these people, Web2.0 is above all a slogan and a banner. Just like Tiandihui's "anti-qing and fuming", whether you believe it or not, you must talk about running the rivers and lakes. Once you come and go, it will become an irreversible golden rule.

Extreme free will and personal heroism have always been the unique qualities of Silicon Valley. People worship Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Yang Zhiyuan. They are regarded as heroes of technological entrepreneurship, claiming that personal power and wisdom can change the world. But in history, when the concept of Web2.0 was put forward, these Silicon Valley elites instantly became collectivists and supporters of digitalMaoists (digital Maoists)-because the core of Web2.0 is everyone's participation and everyone Create, believe in the power of collective wisdom.

The **** decides the head!

The first responders to Web2.0 are Wall Street investors. They are frantically promoting this concept, making Web2.0 hot in a short period of time. Not only that, they also acted while propagating, smashing money into Web2.0 sites, and the Nasdaq index has thus prospered again after the winter of the Internet.

At that time, just two or three years after the first wave of the Internet bubble, the second wave of Internet bubble was born. Google's stock price was pushed to a peak of $600, and Facebook, which was founded recently, was valued at $15 billion.

Yahoo took a stake in RightMedia for only half a year. The company has hardly changed, and its valuation has suddenly soared by US$650 million. And the reason for the value-added is very nonsense. It turns out that Microsoft acquired another unrelated company at a high price, and Yahoo increased the purchase price of RightMedia by $650 million in order to keep up with Microsoft's rhythm.

Song Weiyang put forward the concept of Web2.0 at the first China Internet Conference. What relevant practitioners see is an opportunity, but what investors see is a mountain of money!

Before the new issue of "Red Herring" came out, venture capitalists in the United States had already learned the news, and articles about Web 2.0 appeared in several newspapers at the same time. Immediately afterwards, Internet research experts who collected or confiscated the money began to discuss Web 2.0 in a pretentious manner. The Wall Street Journal even declared that the Internet is about to usher in a new era.

The Nasdaq Index, which stopped falling in September, suddenly rose sharply in November under the joint hype of these people. Numerous Internet stocks have all gone green (green means rising), and even related technology stocks have also gone green collectively. Don't be too obvious behind the traces of human operations!

In order to make the concept of Web2.0 deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and to make Web2.0 more convincing, Yankee touted Song Weiyang to the sky.

Various reports about Song Weiyang in mainland China, even the fake news in Hong Kong City, and the chicken soup stories of "Reader" and "Yi Lin" have been collected and compiled by the American media. An Eastern business hero well-known to the American people was born, even more ridiculous than the port city.

In American newspapers, Song Shumin was the target of persecution, and by the way hacked the Chinese government. Under tremendous political and economic pressure, Song Weiyang took his pocket money at the age of 17 and used the summer vacation time to go to the Special Economic Zone to grab the first pot of gold in a near-fraud manner. After that, it took less than 10 years to rank first among the rich in mainland China. .

These reports particularly focused on stock market-related content, saying that when Song Weiyang invested in stocks during his university years, he made a profit of hundreds of times in half a year. He took the money to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and manipulated Lenovo's stock price before he was 20 years old, and Lenovo is China's largest technology company. The money was used to establish Taurus Capital, and during the Asian financial turmoil, it defeated international speculators headed by Soros in one fell swoop, and made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from it.

It can be described as an extremely exaggerated thing, Soros became a jumping clown in these news, and became a villain who highlighted Song Weiyang's strength. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it doesn't matter if you can fool ordinary people. Anyway, the creator of the Web2.0 concept must be so awesome!

Wikipedia has become popular in the United States this year, and those American newspapers claimed that Song Weiyang was the pioneer of Internet Encyclopedia. Before Wikipedia was founded, Song Weiyang Holdings’ Sogou Search had created the world’s largest Chinese encyclopedia website, Wikipedia. Encyclopedia is nothing more than a poor imitator.

Even the book "The Future Belongs to China" several years ago was turned over by an American editor, and Song Weiyang became a prophet again: he predicted the Asian financial turmoil, predicted the bankruptcy of South Korea's Daewoo, and predicted that "Made in China" would flourish... …

In addition, the "Wall Street Journal" also "exclusively disclosed" the inside story of the Taurus Club, saying that this organization is China's Skull and Bones Society, which was founded by Song Weiyang while he was in college. There are currently only a dozen members of the Taurus Club, but on the list of rich people in mainland China, 4 members are ranked in the top ten, 3 members are between 11-50, and 3 members are between 50-100. In between, the rest are all within 150.

Song Weiyang also founded China’s first private business school. He organized illegal business training courses when he engaged in fraud. More than 6% of the students became multimillionaires within a few years, and more than 30% of the students became millionaires, regardless of the facts. Just blow J8 blindly.

Such an awesome character, can the concept of Web2.0 he put forward still be fake?

"The Wall Street Journal" even published this sentence: "This young richest man from the Far East, a speech at the China Internet Conference, raised the Nasdaq index by 100 points."

Obviously it is you capitalists who made the speculation, okay?

"Fortune" magazine couldn't even wait to send a reporter to interview Song Weiyang. In the December issue, Song Weiyang became a cover character. Even the cover photo was temporarily hand-painted. The cover guide text was "Bill Gates of China." This article details the three major companies for which Song Weiyang is the chairman: "Xifeng Food & Beverage Co., Ltd. has become the industry leader in the Chinese market, and its stock has just been listed as a'Hang Seng Index Stock' by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola in front of the young and richest man came home. Very Coke has already accounted for 40% of the Chinese Coke market. And Jianlibao, which he acquired last year, has also set off a boom in energy drinks in China this year, and its market share has surpassed Red Bull 28. Percentage points..."

There are also all kinds of hype for China Technology, saying that this company has monopolized China's PHS phone, and the annual net profit of a single business is as high as 500 million US dollars (again, it is nonsense). There is also a popular U disk, which is also patented by this company. Every American consumer who buys a U disk is contributing patent fees to China Technology. In the field of personal computers, China Computer has become China's second largest computer manufacturer (deliberately ignoring that Lenovo's market share exceeds 16%, and its domestic computer market share exceeds 65%). The article also said that China Mobile is already the number one mobile phone brand in China. This is not scribbled, but it ignores the terrifying market share of Nokia and Motorola mobile phones.

As for Taurus Capital, due to the high degree of confidentiality of internal information, "Fortune" magazine is completely blinded throughout, even guessing that Taurus Capital's total assets have reached 5 billion US dollars.

At the end of the article, "Fortune" magazine wrote: "It is unbelievable that the richest man in China is only 27 years old in three months. He is not a child of an official, without any government background, and even his rich second-generation status. This is discounted because his family debt was tens of millions when he started his business. In China, young people have regarded him as an inspirational idol and the spiritual leader of countless young entrepreneurs. Two consecutive Chinese questionnaires show that Song Weiyang is the most Influential youth, Bill Gates can only be ranked second. And this year Song Weiyang set his sights on the online game industry, he launched an online game called "Legend", the number of registered players is almost equal to China The number of netizens, the monthly income from game cards is as high as 1 million US dollars... This young richest man is the first person to invest in China’s Internet and has invested in nearly half of China’s large Internet companies. He said after proposing the concept of Web2.0 that he We will continue to increase investment, and the Internet is about to enter a new era."

Many large media outlets in the United States have been following Song Weiyang for a month, finally making Song Weiyang a household name. Many Americans couldn't tell Song Weiyang's appearance at all, but they kept his name firmly in mind. After learning that he was a shareholder of Sohu and Netease, the stock prices of Sohu and Netease suddenly rose sharply.

A generation of business legends, the richest young man under 27 years old, Bill Gates of China, the man who repelled Soros frontally, the unveiler of the Internet Web2.0 era~www.readwn.com~ One speech makes Nasdaq index A rise of 100 points...Under the hype, many young Americans regard Song Weiyang as an idol, and some even tattooed the character "Song" on their bodies very pretendingly. It’s exotic. The whole world likes it. Yankees have a lot of Chinese characters tattooed on their bodies, and they can’t even distinguish the difference between Japanese hiragana, katakana and kanji.

It's a pity that the American media published "song", and the tattoo master was also half-hearted. Most of the Song Weiyang fans who came out of the tattoo shop were tattooed with the word "Send".

Song Weiyang was hyped like that in the United States, and the Web2.0 concept he proposed is naturally well known. In other words, the hype of Song Weiyang and Web2.0 promotes each other, and the entire Silicon Valley also regards Song Weiyang and Web2.0 as standards. Those Internet company CEOs, those conceited Internet entrepreneurs, even if they sneer at Song Weiyang, they still say: "China Song is a genius, he has real Internet thinking, Web2.0 is an unstoppable wave of the future. "

The entire Silicon Valley and the entire United States are discussing Web 2.0. The Web 2.0 craze broke out ahead of schedule under the influence of Song Weiyang. Amao and Agou all said that they are Web2.0 sites. The Nasdaq Index, which once fell from more than 5,000 points to more than 1,000 points, will grow wildly in the next six months, and once again break through the 2500 point mark a year later. During this period, there were constant news that Web2.0 websites received tens of millions of dollars in financing, and a new round of Internet wealth myths stimulated ordinary people to throw money into the stock market.

Song Weiyang has been used as a tool for propaganda and hype from beginning to end, and Web2.0 is to a greater extent just a banner and slogan.

The Yankee’s extreme praise of Song Weiyang, after the news came back to China, it also caused the Chinese media to collectively confess in an instant...
