Rebirth of the Wild Age

The reason why Song Weiyang came to Tsinghua wearing a hat is because he has a high exposure rate among young people, and he is easy to be recognized without covering it up.

Of course, there are also reasons why the weather is too hot, and the brim of the hat can block the sun exposure.

Song Weiyang looked up at Bill Gates with a smile on his face, and asked, "As we all know, Mr. Bill Gates, your father is the co-founder of one of the ten largest law firms in the United States, and your mother is the head of the United Way. The chairwoman is also the first female executive of the First Interstate Bank of the United States, and your grandfather is also a famous banker in the United States. May I ask, did they provide any special help during your entrepreneurial period?"

The whole place was silent, and then it became noisy again.

Bill Gates is the global youth entrepreneurial idol. There are countless chicken soup articles about him. This is the first time everyone has heard such anti-chicken soup remarks.

Yes, other people's parents and grandfather are awesome, how can you learn from a grassroots background?

Anyone can drop out of school to start a business, but can you come up with start-up capital?

The school leaders and officials who were in charge of accompanying him didn't look very good-looking, but it was inconvenient to drive away the troublemaker Song Weiyang directly.

Bill Gates, on the other hand, was very calm and said with a smile: "First of all, the law firm founded by my father and a friend was not ranked in the top ten in the United States when I first started my business, and it was even difficult to rank in the top 30 in the United States. Yes My father's law firm grew rapidly after years of doing business with Microsoft. Second, my grandfather was indeed a banker, but not the top one, just one of many bankers in the United States. My mother Inherited from her grandfather's estate, but she is mainly engaged in charity activities."

Song Weiyang asked again: "I heard that your mother is good friends with the CEO of IBM? Does this help Microsoft's early development?"

Yes, it is purely a rumor that Bill Gates’ mother is a director of IBM. She just had a close relationship with the CEO of IBM when she was doing charity. She is the chairman of the United Way, and she has contacts with many corporate executives in the United States. She has very good connections. Scary, better than being an ibm director.

Bill Gates smiled and said: "The first cooperation between Microsoft and IBM was indeed related to my mother. At that time, IBM was a big company, while Microsoft was just a small guy. They didn't want to cooperate with Microsoft at all. However, my plan was very good. , so that the ibm design team has been reported to the top, and even discussed at the highest meeting. Other high-level personnel think that Microsoft is not qualified enough. My mother's friend happens to be the new CEO of ibm. The assistant said: "Yes." So he called my mother: "Your son has only been in college for two years, what can he do?" My mother said: "This time I use my achievements and personality to serve my son Make the best guarantee.' In this way, Microsoft and IBM successfully cooperated, and I would like to thank my mother for her help. However, if Microsoft's plan is not perfect, it will not be reported to the top of IBM, and my mother will not have the opportunity to help Let me talk. No matter what you do, you need to have your own strength. Are you satisfied with this answer, my friend?"

"Very satisfied." Song Weiyang didn't continue to argue, lest Bill Gates get down.

In fact, ibm had many choices at that time, and Microsoft's solution could not fully surpass competitors at all. There are a bunch of excellent solutions out there to choose from, and the new CEO of IBM chose to cooperate with his friend's son.

Without the help of my mother, Bill Gates might miss the opportunity, and Microsoft certainly wouldn't be able to develop so quickly and smoothly.

Of course, Bill Gates is also right, one's own strength is also very important, otherwise imb executives will not see Microsoft's plan at all.

It's as if two outstanding young people compete for a job, and they are comparable in ability, so the employer will naturally choose the one who has the relationship.

Bill Gates also seemed a little embarrassed, immediately diverted his attention, and began to tell a small story about entrepreneurship: "When I was in the third year of college, I lost interest in studies. I told my parents that I wanted to drop out of school and start a business. But my parents objected, and they also asked Mr. Storm, a famous self-made entrepreneur who came to the United States, wanted to persuade me to give up the idea of ​​starting a business. Thanks to Mr. Storm, after communicating with me, he encouraged me to do a good job and helped me convince my parents. Start a business at Microsoft During this period, I did not receive financial support from my parents, but I must thank them for their spiritual help."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "OK, I'm fine now."

Bill Gates felt a little depressed, because he felt that Song Weiyang was here to spoil the situation, and smiled: "Student, can you take off your hat? It's impolite to communicate like this."

"As you wish." Song Weiyang took off his hat and said.

"This person looks familiar!"

"Maybe it's from the next door."

"Most of them are from the school next door. Only Peking University students are so rude."

"It's Song Weiyang, Xifeng Song Weiyang!"

"It's really him!"

"Who is Song Weiyang?"

"..."

More and more students recognized Song Weiyang, and they were noisy and chaotic.

Since the bankruptcy of the Giant Group, Shi Yuzhu, a former youth entrepreneurial idol, has become the first loser in China, from the eighth place on the rich list, to a debt of 250 million yuan in an instant. And Song Weiyang has become the only youth entrepreneurial idol, and his influence among young people has been on the rise.

According to the media survey questionnaire in July this year, among the youth (commercial) idols elected by 100,000 young people across the country, Bill Gates ranked first and Song Weiyang ranked second, with a difference of only more than 4,000 votes.

Some students suddenly shouted: "Let Bill Gates and Song Weiyang have a live dialogue, the exchange between the two business geniuses of the East and the West must be exciting!"

"On-the-spot communication, the peak dialogue between the youth of the East and the West!" Someone immediately echoed, watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Bill Gates was a little confused, and asked the Chinese escort around him: "Is this young man famous?"

"He is a young entrepreneur in China." The Chinese staff said.

A Chinese person on the side stood up and said: "Mr. Bill Gates, his name is Song Weiyang. When his father was in prison, he took over the family's debt factory when he was in middle school, and turned it into a profit in three months. The Coke he produced, It has already defeated Pepsi in China, second only to Coca-Cola in sales. Up to now, he has not yet graduated from college.”

After listening to the introduction, Bill Gates immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "This is a business genius, and I am very happy to have an in-depth exchange with him."

The school had no choice but to bring another stool, and invited Song Weiyang to the front, so that the surrounding audience could sit on the floor.

"Hi, Mr. Gates," Song Weiyang shook hands, "I was too presumptuous for those questions just now."

Bill Gates said: "No need to apologize, I am very glad to meet you. I heard that the Coke you produce has surpassed Pepsi in China?"

"That's nothing to show off," Song Weiyang said, "Coke is just one of my products, and I also invested in the software industry."

Bill Gates was quite pleasantly surprised: "Really? What's the name of your software company?"

"Jinshan." Song Weiyang smiled.

Immediately someone came over to chatter: "Mr. Gates, Jinshan is the biggest competitor of Ord in China. Ord has lost all lines this year, and its market share has dropped below 30%. If the loopholes in the Chinese version are not improved, Ord's market share will be very small next year. Possibly below 10%."

This is really embarrassing, even more embarrassing than being asked about parents just now.

However, Bill Gates is more interested in Song Weiyang, because they can have a lot of common language. For example, Microsoft's acquisition of Kingsoft was discussed a few years ago, but Qiu Bojun rejected it.

On the Tsinghua campus, the sun is very bright.

Song Weiyang and Bill Gates sat in the middle, surrounded by thousands of teachers, students and off-campus personnel sitting on the ground, some of them put something under their buttocks, and some just endured it despite the sun-heated ground.

This was a "peak dialogue" between young people from the East and the West. Many media reporters in Beijing were extremely excited, and several foreign media reporters frantically took pictures.

What should be the headline of tomorrow's news? . m.
