Rebirth of the Wild Age

In another time and space, some people say that web 2.0 is an outright hype, a huge scam co-directed by novelty-seeking internet researchers, internet entrepreneurs eager to get rich and Wall Street venture capitalists.

Regardless of whether this statement is justifiable or not, it does reflect some problems in the web2.0 boom.

At that time, the haze brought by the cold winter of the Internet still hangs over Silicon Valley for a long time. A large number of Internet practitioners don't know where to go, and Wall Street's venture capital is in a pit, eagerly hoping to have a solution one day. When a network research expert put forward the concept of web2.0, the former two immediately became a treasure and began to join forces to hype wildly.

Regardless of whether the concept of web2.0 is correct, it must be correct; whether web2.0 is useful or not, it must be useful!

In the minds of these people, web2.0 is first of all a slogan and a banner. Just like the Tiandihui's "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming", whether you believe it or not, running the rivers and lakes must be talked about, and it has evolved into an irreversible golden rule.

Extreme free will and individual heroism have always been the unique temperament of Silicon Valley. People adore Bill Gates, Jobs, and Jerry Yang, and regard them as heroes of technological entrepreneurship, claiming that individual strength and wisdom can change the world. But in history, when the concept of web2.0 was proposed, these Silicon Valley elites instantly became collectivists and advocates of digital maoists (digital Maoists)—because the core of web2. Created by people, believe in the power of collective wisdom.

The ass decides the head!

Wall Street investors were the first to respond to web2.0, and they crazily promoted this concept, making web2.0 hot in a short period of time. Not only that, they also acted while propagandizing, pouring money into web2.0 websites, and the Nasdaq Index flourished again after the Internet winter.

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

Only half a year after Yahoo bought a stake in Right Media, the company has hardly changed, and its valuation has suddenly soared by US$650 million. And the value-added reason is very nonsense. It turned out that Microsoft acquired another unrelated company at a high price. In order to keep up with Microsoft's rhythm, Yahoo increased the acquisition price of Right Media by 650 million US dollars.

Song Weiyang proposed the concept of web2.0 at the first China Internet Conference. What relevant practitioners saw was opportunities, but what investors saw was piles of money!

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

The Nasdaq Index, which stopped falling only in September, suddenly rose sharply in November under the joint hype of these people. Numerous Internet stocks are all in the green (green means rising), and related technology stocks are also collectively in the green. The traces of human manipulation behind it should not be too obvious!

In order to make the concept of web 2.0 deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and to make web 2.0 more convincing, Yankee praised Song Weiyang to the sky.

All kinds of reports about Song Weiyang in mainland China, even the fake news from Hong Kong City, and the chicken soup stories from "Reader" and "Yilin", were all collected and compiled by the American media. An oriental business hero well-known to the American people was born, and even the degree of embellishment was even more outrageous than that of the port city.

In American newspapers, Song Shumin was the target of persecution, and by the way, blackened the Chinese government. Under tremendous political and economic pressure, Song Weiyang took pocket money at the age of 17 and went to the Special Economic Zone during his summer vacation to grab his first pot of gold in a near fraudulent way. After that, he ranked first in the list of richest people in mainland China in less than 10 years .

These reports especially focused on the stock market, saying that Song Weiyang invested in stocks during his college years and made hundreds of times the profit in half a year. He took the money to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and manipulated Lenovo's stock price when he was less than 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 the international speculators headed by Soros in one fell swoop, and made hundreds of millions of dollars in crazy profits.

It can be said to be extremely exaggerated. Soros has become a clown in these news, and has become a big villain who highlights Song Weiyang's awesomeness. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter if you know it, as long as you can fool ordinary people, anyway, the creator of the concept of web2.0 must be so awesome!

Wikipedia has become popular in the United States this year, and those American newspapers claim that Song Weiyang is the pioneer of the Internet encyclopedia. Before the establishment of Wikipedia, Sogou Search, which is controlled by Song Weiyang, has created the world's largest Chinese encyclopedia website, Wikipedia Wikipedia is nothing more than a poor imitator.

Even the book "The Future Belongs to China" several years ago was dug out by American editors, so Song Weiyang became a prophet again: he predicted the Asian financial turmoil, the bankruptcy of South Korea's Daewoo, and the prosperity of "Made in China"... …

In addition, the "Wall Street Journal" also "exclusively disclosed" the inside story of the Golden Bull Club, saying that this organization is China's Skull and Bones Club, which was founded by Song Weiyang when he was in college. Currently there are only a dozen members of the Taurus Club, but in the mainland China rich list, 4 members rank in the top ten, 3 members rank between 11-50, and 3 members rank between 50-100 During the period, the rest were all within 150.

Song Weiyang also founded the first non-governmental business school in China. In the illegal business training courses he held when he was engaged in fraud, more than 6% of the students became multi-millionaires within a few years, and more than 30% of the students became millionaires. Regardless of the facts Blind j8 bragging is enough.

With such an awesome character, can the web2.0 concept he put forward be false?

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

Obviously you capitalists made it up, okay?

"Fortune" magazine couldn't wait to send a reporter to interview Song Weiyang. In the December issue, Song Weiyang was featured on the cover. Even the cover photo was temporarily hand-painted. The cover text read "China's Bill Gates". This article introduces in detail the three major companies where Song Weiyang is the chairman: "Xifeng Food and 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. It is always good The Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola of China have failed in front of the young richest man. Very Coke has already occupied 40% of the Chinese cola market. And Jianlibao, which he acquired last year, has also set off a boom in functional drinks in China this year, and its market share has surpassed that of Red Bull 28. percent..."

There are also all kinds of praises for Shenzhou Technology, saying that this company has monopolized China's phs phones, and the annual net profit of a single business is as high as 500 million U.S. dollars (again j8 nonsense). There is also the u-disk that has become popular, and this company also owns the patent. Every American consumer who buys a u-disk is contributing the patent fee to Shenzhou Technology. In the field of personal computers, China Computer has become the second largest computer manufacturer in China (deliberately ignoring Lenovo's market share of more than 16%, and its domestic computer market share of more than 65%). The article also said that China Mobile is already the No. 1 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, because the internal information is highly confidential, "Fortune" magazine is completely in the dark, and even speculates that the total assets of Taurus Capital 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 son of an official, has no government background, and even his identity as a rich second generation must Discounted, because when he started his business, his family owed tens of millions of yuan. In China, young people have regarded him as an inspirational idol and the spiritual leader of countless young entrepreneurs. According to the Chinese questionnaire survey for two consecutive years, Song Weiyang is the most Influential young people, Bill Gates can only rank second. This year Song Weiyang set his sights on the online game industry again. He launched an online game called "Legend", the number of registered players is almost equal to that of China The number of Internet users in the country, and the monthly game point card income is as high as 1 million US dollars... The young richest man is the first person to invest in the Internet in China, and has invested in nearly half of the large Internet companies in China. After he proposed the concept of web2.0, he said that he Investment will continue to increase, and the Internet is about to enter a new era."

Many large media in the United States have followed Song Weiyang for a month, and finally made Song Weiyang a household name. Many Americans can't tell Song Weiyang's face at all, but they remember his name firmly. After learning that he is a shareholder of Sohu and Netease, the stock prices of Sohu and Netease suddenly rose sharply.

A generation of business legends, the richest man under the age of 27, China's Bill Gates, the man who defeated Soros head-on, the unveiler of the Internet web2.0 era, a speech that made the Nasdaq index rise by 100 points... Under the hype, many young Americans regard Song Weiyang as an idol, and some even have the word "Song" tattooed on their bodies very pretendingly. Exotic, the whole world likes this tone, there are many Yankees who tattoo Chinese characters on their bodies, and they can't even tell the difference between Hibihira, Katakana and Chinese characters.

It's a pity that the American media published "song", and the tattoo master was half-baked. Most of these Song Weiyang fans came out of the tattoo shop with the word "send" tattooed on them.

Song Weiyang was hyped like that in the United States, and the concept of web2.0 he proposed is naturally well known. In other words, the hype of Song Weiyang and web2.0 is mutually reinforcing, and at the same time, the entire Silicon Valley also regards Song Weiyang and web2.0 as a standard. Those Internet company CEOs, those conceited Internet entrepreneurs, even if they sneered at Song Weiyang, they would 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 web2.0. The web2.0 boom broke out ahead of time under the influence of Song Weiyang. Both cats and dogs said that they are web2.0 websites. 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 break through the 2,500-point mark again a year later. During this period, news of web 2.0 websites receiving tens of millions of dollars in financing continued, and a new round of Internet wealth myths stimulated ordinary people to pour money into the stock market.

Song Weiyang has been used as a tool for publicity and hype from the beginning to the end, while web2.0 is to a greater extent just a banner and a slogan.

And Yankee's extreme praise for Song Weiyang, after the news was sent back to China, the Chinese media also made a collective climax in an instant...
