Giant of the times

In January 1994, Li Zetian began to discuss the listing of the company in detail with TripAdvisor, Yahoo, and Amazon.

Originally, Li Zetian planned to list Google as well, but as a search engine, Google did not attract the attention of investors and its valuation was not high. So, this time, Google will not go public.

Search is the top priority of the Internet, and very few people can see this right now. In fact, among TripAdvisor, Yahoo, Amazon and Google, the company Li Zetian is most optimistic about is Google.

Google’s technology and big data are unmatched by other companies. To decide which company will be stronger in artificial intelligence in the future, China SD looks for Lan Xiang~~

Since these companies are going public, they must make the news public.

As soon as the news came out, the industry, media and financial circles couldn't help but be shocked!

If nothing else, let’s just say that Yahoo, as an Internet portal, is currently valued at US$32.5 billion. Once the listing is successful, the market value will only be higher than the valuation!

In addition, because Li Zetian has frequently visited Yahoo, Amazon and other companies recently, this is intriguing.

"Could it be that Chronos Li is the boss behind Yahoo, Amazon, TripAdvisor and other Internet giants?"

The media and the Internet have made various speculations.

But there is no doubt that their guess is the truth!

On January 25, Yahoo, Amazon, and TripAdvisor announced their shareholder lists.

Everyone looked at the list of shareholders, but they were frightened!

Without him, Li Zetian owns more than 90% of the shares in both Yahoo and Amazon!

He also owns 70% of TripAdvisor.

Apparently, he founded all three companies.

"AOL, one of the Internet giants, is actually Chronos·Li's industry. Oh, God, why do I feel that the entire Internet belongs to Chronos·Li?!!"

"It's true. In the Internet industry, Chronos·Li is already the uncrowned king! Yahoo! is Chronos·Li's industry. Google and Yahoo were launched at the same time and have been cooperating from the beginning, so 80% of Google is also his industry. !!!Sprint provides Internet access services, Netscape provides website browsers, Yahoo provides portals, Google provides information search, Amazon provides e-commerce, TripAdvisor provides online travel, and Flamingo provides the Battle.net game platform ...In a word, as long as you are online, you cannot do without Chronos·Li."

"There is also Galaxy Networks, which provides network equipment routers and switches; Sun Microsystems provides servers; Apple and Mango provide personal computers; Microsoft provides operating systems and office software; Oracle and SAP provide databases. Holy shit, The entire industry chain has been monopolized! Chronos Li is truly a god, so terrifying, unprecedented and unprecedented!!!"

"Damn it, Chronos Li is so awesome! How on earth did he do it?!"

Netizens were shocked and stunned. Li Zetian's amazing feat was beyond their imagination.

Competitors in the same industry already felt despair after seeing this.

Damn it, Chronos Li is so powerful, how can we win? It’s unfair, so unfair!

…

Yu Jingqiu came to Li Zetian's study with a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

"What are you looking at? You're laughing while looking at it." Yu Jingqiu asked with a smile.

"Haha, look how netizens exaggerate your husband!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

"The chicken soup has just been boiled, drink it while it's hot!" Yu Jingqiu put the chicken soup in front of Li Zetian's table, and immediately sat next to him and watched the comments from netizens.

"Chronos Li is indeed a genius of all ages, and can be called the number one businessman in mankind!"

"The power of Chronos Li has broken through the sky and rushed into the universe!"

"Yes, the earth can no longer stop him!"

"It's okay to say that in the computer industry, Apple and Mango still have competitors after all. But in the Internet industry, Chronos Li is really like an emperor!"

"..."

When Yu Jingqiu saw these comments, she couldn't help but look at Li Zetian with gentle eyes, and she couldn't help but feel very proud and proud.

"Why are you looking at me with such admiration?" After Li Zetian finished drinking the chicken soup, he put his arms around Yu Jingqiu's waist and said with a smile.

"Honey, you are so awesome!" Yu Jingqiu recalled her college days in vain, and said with emotion, "Do you still remember when we met at Harvard University? At that time, you were still a poor boy, and many people looked down on you, but I But I think you are better than others! I like your ambition, your stubbornness and perseverance, so I took the initiative to pursue you! The first time we officially met was in your dormitory, you were a bit stupid at the time Silly, you were a little confused when you saw me. I must be thinking, who is such a beautiful woman? Why did she suddenly come to me and bring me a sumptuous breakfast?!"

Li Zetian nodded and said gently: "At that time, I thought you had gone to the wrong room!"

Yu Jingqiu leaned in Li Zetian's arms and said with a smile: "After so many years, the changes have been so great. No one thought that you would become the richest man in the world back then, with wealth that rivals other countries!"

Li Zetian smiled slightly and said confidently: "I know, I knew from the beginning that I will definitely become the richest man in the world in the future!"

"You are always so confident!"

"Your man should be so confident, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of being your man!!!"

Li Zetian kissed Yu Jingqiu's forehead gently, and the two hugged each other quietly. The warm sunshine shone on their faces through the window. Time seemed to freeze at this moment forever!

…

Yahoo, Amazon and TripAdvisor have begun preparations for listing, and the CEOs of the three major companies will soon conduct road shows around the world.

Li Zetian was thinking about coming up with something else.

Now there are chat rooms on the Internet. This chat room is developed based on the website and is not a separate software.

Li Zetian wants to make instant messaging software.

On a sunny afternoon on February 1st, Li Zetian called Dongfang Yuqin over, handed her a document, and said: "This is my new plan - QQ instant messaging software!"

"This QQ instant messaging software is an online chat software. It is very different from a chat room. You should take a look at it first, and then register a company called 'Tencent'!"

"Oh, okay." Dongfang Yuqin responded, picked up the information, sat on the desk nearby and started reading.

At this moment, Li Zetian began to laugh secretly in his heart. Tencent was preempted by him. What should Ma Huateng do? Come on, work for me from now on! ! !

Xiaoma, you will not be alone, Jack Ma will accompany you in the future!

Don’t feel aggrieved. Look at Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Aren’t they all working for me?

Look how well people are doing now, they are all billionaires!

The more Li Zetian thought about it, the more proud he became!

Wait, there is Robin Li. After all, Baidu is still one of the three giants of Chinese BAT. As the founder of Baidu, Robin Li is still qualified to be recruited by him. In addition, Robin Li's technical level is definitely at the level of a master! Baidu's search engine was developed by him, which is very awesome!

Robin Li should be studying in the United States now, and may be graduating soon. After all, Baidu was founded in 1999, and he had several years of work experience in the United States.

However, Li Zetian did not know which university Robin Li attended. However, there are only a few Chinese students studying abroad, and there are even fewer people with the same name. Isn’t it easy to find someone with Li Zetian’s energy?

Thinking of this, Li Zetian decided to recruit Robin Li first and join Google.

Immediately, he ordered people to search for Robin Li.

So that night, Li Zetian received the news.

In 1991, Robin Li studied in the Department of Computer Science at the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA.

"Let Google send people to hold a college job fair at the State University of New York at Buffalo. If you meet Robin Li, join him in the company!"

Li Zetian thought that with Robin Li's ability, he could definitely pass Google's test.

The person on the other end of the phone nodded and said, "Yes!! However, if he doesn't come to apply, then let Google send someone to contact him directly?"

"Well, okay, let's do it like this!" Li Zetian said.

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

What is Jack Ma doing now? Maybe I'm still working as an English teacher, huh... I'm a humble person, it's really hard work!

During the Spring Festival on February 10th, I will go to China to find out Jack Ma personally!

Li Zetian stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside, wondering where his thoughts were drifting...

…

On February 5th, Li Zetian and his family went to Hangzhou with his parents and Zhou Qiqi to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather. The old man is getting older and he doesn't know how long he can live in the future. Cherish the people in front of you, don’t wait until you lose them to regret them!

With the arrival of Li Zetian and his party, grandpa's hometown began to become lively again.

Relatives, friends, and Hangzhou leaders came to pay New Year greetings to my grandfather.

Grandpa likes calligraphy and painting. Before Li Zetian came, he specially asked someone to buy an authentic painting by the saint Wu Daozi - "Picture of the King Sending His Son to Heaven".

Speaking of this, Li Zetian felt a little blocked.

"The Picture of the King Sending His Son", also known as the "Picture of the Birth of Sakyamuni", was painted by Wu Daozi based on the Buddhist scripture "Ruiying Benqi Sutra". This work is collected in the RB Osaka Municipal Art Museum, and Li Zetian spent a lot of effort to get it. Damn it, this is originally a Chinese traditional painting, why did it end up at the RB Osaka Municipal Museum of Art? !

"Grandpa, this is the painting Zetian bought for you. Do you like it?" Yu Jingqiu obediently took out the "Picture of a Gift to the Heavenly King" and slowly unfolded it on a long table.

A group of people watching around couldn't help but scream.

"This is actually the "Picture of a Gift to the Heavenly King" by the Tang Dynasty painter Wu Daozi!!!"

"No, it's real or fake. As far as I know, "Picture of the King Sending His Son" should be collected in the RB Osaka Municipal Museum of Art!"

"Do you think Zetian will send fake paintings?"

Everyone was shocked. Yes, Zetian is the richest man in the world. How could a person of such status send a fake painting? In other words, this painting of Wu Daozi's "Picture of Sending His Son to the Heavenly King" must be authentic! My God, how much is this worth?

A knowledgeable person said: "It must be a sky-high price! Zhang Chou, a collector of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote in "Qinghe Painting and Calligraphy Boat": "Wu Daozi's "Picture of Farewell to the Son of the Heavenly King", on paper, original ink painting, is Han's (preserved) "Liang) is the most famous painting, and also the most famous painting in the world." Zhang Chou is so highly regarded by collectors that one can imagine the value of this painting "The Picture of the King Sending His Son to Heaven"!"

Grandpa was also surprised. He looked at Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu and asked, "God, how much did you spend on this painting?"

Li Zetian smiled lightly: "Not much, not expensive!"

Li Zetian was afraid that speaking out would scare his grandfather.

"Picture of the King Sending His Son" is extremely valuable. Li Zetian used various connections and finally spent nearly 150 million US dollars to get it back from RB Osaka Municipal Museum of Art. If it were someone else, they might not be able to buy it.

Grandpa shook his head, knowing that this kind of transformation must be of high price, but since it is what his children want, he will accept it. Moreover, he also liked this painting "Picture of the King Sending His Son to Heaven" very much.

After a while, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu came outside.

Yu Jingqiu smiled and said: "Grandpa seems to like this "Picture of Delivering a Child to the Heavenly King" very much!"

"Well," Li Zetian nodded and said with a smile, "I will buy him more paintings from now on to make him happy!"

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out!"

Li Zetian sighed slightly, "It's a pity that I couldn't find the "Preface to the Lanting Collection"!"

Yu Jingqiu said: "The Preface to the Lanting Collection is the best cursive script in the world, and its value is definitely more than the Mona Lisa!"

Li Zetian said proudly: "Of course it is! "The Preface to the Lanting Collection" can be said to be the pinnacle of Chinese calligraphy. For five thousand years, no one has surpassed it! Even if it costs 1 billion US dollars, or even 10 billion US dollars, I am willing to buy it Come down!!!”

After speaking, Li Zetian shook his head and sighed: "But as far as I know, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty got Wang Xi's authentic calligraphy and buried it together in Zhaoling after his death. Therefore, this 'world's best running script' has been buried underground ever since." ! It’s such a pity that a good national treasure was brought into the loess by the emperor and disappeared from the world forever. This is China’s greatest sorrow!!!”

As he talked, Li Zetian became sentimental.

However, it is true that many excellent works were buried underground.

No wonder there are so many tomb robbers in China!

No one can blame you for this. Who told you to die and still bury so many treasures in the ground? Aren't you asking people to dig them up?

Alas, if there is no peace after death, isn’t this asking for trouble?

There are also many jokes on the Internet, mocking the Chinese people who like to dig graves and archeology, and foreigners who like to study space.

Damn it, the sins of the ancients!

…

After dinner, a phone call suddenly came, which surprised Li Zetian a little.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Liu Zhixin, the person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala. Here's the deal. We learned that your family has come to China. We want to invite you to BJ and watch the Spring Festival Gala directly on site. Are you willing?"

And such good things!

Li Zetian nodded quickly and said: "Okay, no problem!"

"Well, then I'll arrange a hotel for you."

"No need to arrange a hotel, we have a place to stay in BJ!"
