The conversation between Wang Lin and Li Yanhong was very speculative.

Li Yanhong was very excited about being able to meet the largest business elite in China.

Wang Lin and his wife said, asking them to stroll around first, while he and Li Yanhong came to each other's company.

Sitting in Li Yanhong's spacious and bright office, Wang Lin started communicating with him while drinking coffee.

Through conversation, I learned that Li Yanhong’s company is a subsidiary of Wall Street Jones.

Anyone who has been exposed to stocks is not unfamiliar with the name Dow Jones.

Dow Jones is a world-class business and financial information provider and an important news media publishing group. It is headquartered in New York and owns newspapers, magazines, news agencies, radio, television stations and Internet services. It has nearly 1,700 news practitioners around the world. The stock price index compiled by Dow Jones is a household name.

Wang Lin asked: "Why did you give up the opportunity to study for a doctorate?"

Li Yanhong said: "There is a trend among the international students in the United States, that students who are studying for a doctorate will give up their studies once they find a job. At first, I thought I would not do this. But the boss of this company is also a technical expert, and he appreciates my research very much. I felt that I met him too late. A scholar died for his confidant, so I decided to leave the school and accept the position of senior consultant in this company."

Wang Lin actually knew a little about his resume, but at this moment he could only treat him as a stranger and asked: "Which university did you go to in China?"

"Peking University!"

"Beijing Jin University? That is the highest institution in China. What major are you studying?"

“Book and Intelligence Major.”

"Oh? Why did you apply for this major? It should be said that this is a very unpopular major."

"I originally wanted to apply for the computer major at Peking University. I studied in a key high school in the city, and the school was equipped with the first computer classroom in our city. Because I like computers so much, my family signed me up for computer interest classes. In order to go to the computer room to study frequently, I often slutty around the teacher, hoping to sit in the computer room for a while. Later, after the college entrance examination, I was the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination."

"Awesome!" Wang Lin praised sincerely, "Why don't you apply for computer majors with such good grades?"

"Although computer science is my favorite major, the computer science major at Peking University is very popular. If I fill in the computer science major myself and am not admitted, wouldn't I fail? If I choose a relatively unpopular major, I may be admitted. My teachers and family also advised me in this way. If I go to a prestigious school, I will be able to work within the system even if I don't graduate, right?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Three points for the exam, seven points for the exam. Your choice is not wrong. Although the major in library and intelligence is unpopular, it is actually an information management science. If you learn this science well, you will also have a future."

Li Yanhong said: "I thought so too at that time. Since I was admitted to Peking University, I should study hard. But when I really came into contact with the professional courses of library and intelligence, I realized that this subject was boring and far from my ideals. I even felt disgusted with learning."

Wang Lin couldn't help but feel interested: "What happened later? How did you complete your studies?"

Li Yanhong said: "In 1988, after I got home during the summer vacation, my father asked me to go to the train station to sell popsicles. At the end of the summer vacation, my father asked me: Which one do you think is more tiring than selling popsicles or studying books and intelligence majors? I couldn't help but realize that my father's education method is called popsicles therapy."

As he said that, he couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Wang, in 1988, I was selling popsicles and saw the newspaper that you became a millionaire. At that time, I made you my idol and I have been paying attention to your success. I have been reading for a few years and you have become the richest richest man in the country."

Wang Lin smiled slightly. In another parallel universe, you are my idol.

Li Yanhong opened up and talked about his life experience: "After the summer vacation in 1988, after I returned to school, I paid attention to the major of library and intelligence again, and my grades also increased significantly and ranked among the top. Later, my third sister went to study in the United States to study for a doctorate after graduating from Peking University, and I also decided to try my best to follow my sister's path."

Since his junior year, he bought all kinds of books about taking the TOEFL and postgraduate entrance exams and read them crazily, and lived a three-point and one-line life from classrooms to libraries and dormitories. His only goal is to study abroad in the United States and study his favorite computer major.

In order to learn computer professional knowledge well, Li Yanhong took almost all the courses in the computer major of Peking University. He made up his mind: I will learn whatever the computer majors learn, and I must learn as well as they do, and even learn better than them. Only in this way can I go to the United States.

Although the study of the computer department was very hard, Li Yanhong did not underestimate the study of the library and intelligence major. Later, he studied the TOEFL exam, the computer major, and the study of the major was "three swords". During that time, he was under three times the study pressure of ordinary undergraduates, but he was strong and kept gritting his teeth and persevering.

Later, he applied for studying abroad to more than ten well-known universities in the United States. Hard work pays off, and he finally enjoyed the joy of success. In 1991, the computer major of the State University of New York, Buffalo, the United States sent him an admission letter. The computer major of this university ranks in the top 20 in the United States and is very famous.

Since it was his first time to visit the United States, Li Yanhong seemed a little restrained in front of teachers and students, but this did not stop him from studying hard. In order to catch up with those students with excellent academic performance as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to work hard at night.

Due to his excellent performance, he was hired by the school as the head assistant of the computer laboratory. In addition to enjoying tuition-free treatment, this position can also receive a funding of between $8,500 and $9,500 per semester by the school. In a sense, he received a salary for two years of studying at the University of Buffalo, which is something that ordinary American students cannot do.

"The reason why I gave up the opportunity to study for a doctorate and came to work in this company was mainly to learn and research more advanced technologies. What I valued was not the salary of this company, but the company's technical strength and talent team. Of course, I did not give up on learning. For me, research and learning are more important than making money."

Wang Lin listened to his story carefully.

Perhaps Li Yanhong really regarded Wang Lin as his life mentor and young idol. While excited, he revealed his life experiences, insights and thoughts to Wang Lin.

"As a successful senior, there are some orders of hearing and Taoism, and those who are good at it are respected. In my eyes, although we are our peers, you are my senior. Mr. Wang, do you have any honest advice to me? I sincerely ask for advice."

After listening to his story, Wang Lin looked at the sincere young man in front of him and couldn't help but feel emotion and said, "Persevere in your dreams and walk on the road of computers, you will definitely succeed in the future."

Li Yanhong asked: "Mr. Wang, do you know computers very well?"

Wang Lin said: "I know a little bit. Now the domestic computer industry is just starting out and chaos is everywhere, but it is also an opportunity. As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times. I suggest that after you finish your studies, you must return to China to develop. Perhaps one day, you can divide the world in the domestic computer market."

Li Yanhong looked shocked: "Mr. Wang, your goal is too big! I'm afraid I won't finish it."

Wang Lin said: "I will give you another suggestion, to do the technology you are most interested in and create unique patents. As long as you continue to cultivate in any industry, you will definitely achieve something. After I came to the United States, I often go online when I have time and have a certain understanding of the Internet."

"Mr. Wang, the Internet economy in the United States is on a downward tide."

"This is the bubble of the Internet, but it will be corrected by the market soon."

In 1994, the Americans had various competitions around browsers. Browsers and websites were already very popular at that time. At that time, people had already seen the various conveniences brought by the development of online information, so they began to invest in the Internet economy frantically.

While the domestic Internet economy is still developing in full swing, the Americans have experienced an Internet bubble.

In addition to the influx of a large amount of Internet funds, there is another very important reason why the Americans formed an Internet bubble at the beginning, which was that the construction of the Internet was very rapid.

A lot of infrastructure has been invested in the construction process, and these infrastructures contain many aspects, such as switches, network cables, and a large number of network wireless communication equipment.

As these things are invested widely, hot money is slowly pouring in, which leads to many people making money by lying down on the Internet.

Market prices will self-regulate, and a series of credit collapses followed. So the bubble bursts in the process of growing bigger and bigger.

"Mr. Wang, are you optimistic about the Internet economy?"

"Of course."

"Then why don't you invest in this?"

"There is no one worth my investment yet." Wang Lin smiled mysteriously.

"What kind of person can get your investment?"

"A person who persists." Wang Lin said in a deep voice, "a person who has real technology and creativity."

Li Yanhong fell into deep thought.

Wang Lin said: "Library and intelligence management, in the Internet era, is actually information management. There are many information on the Internet, which is complicated and messy. It is difficult for people who surf the Internet to find the information they want. Therefore, I think that searching information will definitely be necessary for everyone in the future and it is also a hot spot for Internet entrepreneurship. Are you interested in this?"

"Search?" Li Yanhong's eyes lit up, "Mr. Wang, I have been thinking about which direction I should work in the computer. Your words will immediately let me clear the clouds and see the blue sky! Search, yes, I will move towards the search direction in the future! I will strengthen the accumulation of knowledge and technology in this area."

Wang Lin said: "In your opinion, what is the most important factor in business success?"

Li Yanhong said: "Of course it's technology! Science and technology are the primary productive force!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Technology is of course important, but not the most important thing. Many people have technology, but those with technology may not necessarily become top businessmen."

Li Yanhong asked in confusion: "What is that?"

Wang Lin said: "Technology itself is not the decisive factor for success, and business war strategy is the real factor in winning thousands of miles."

"Business War Strategy?" Li Yanhong fell into deep thought again.

Wang Lin said: "It's like the two sides of the war. Whoever has the advantageous equipment and weapons will definitely win the war?"

"No." Li Yanhong shook his head, "This has been verified by countless wars. Mr. Wang, you are right, business war strategy is as important as strategy."

Wang Lin said: "You should have paid attention to the struggle between IBM and Microsoft, right?"

Li Yanhong said: "I have seen some stories."

Wang Lin said: "Microsoft's rise is not only because of its technology. Look at how they compete with the giant IBM? How do they swallow up peers and fight against competitors? Software technology is something IBM originally despised, so it outsourced it to Microsoft, but it was instead controlled by Microsoft."

Li Yanhong said: "IBM did make a mistake in making a move."

Wang Lin said: "You are abroad, maybe you don't know that there is a Wanyan brand VCD in China, right?"

"VCD? I seem to have heard of it." Li Yanhong said, "But this kind of machine is not popular in the United States. Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Lin said: "Wan Yan's boss is the first person in the world to invent VCD. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to operate it, nor does he understand the sinisterness of business wars. He issued VCD, and did not register patents, nor did he register patents in many countries. So once VCD was launched, countless people at home and abroad were imitating it. Wan Yan's VCD had a good hand, but he ended up playing badly. So I said that technology is very important, but business strategy is more important. Only when technology is in the right hands, can it play its greatest value."

This conversation brought Li Yanhong great shock.

Wang Lin used concise language and vivid examples to bring Li Yanhong's thinking into the business world in advance.

Li Yanhong and Wang Lin met too late, so they kept talking to him.

Many years later, when Li Yanhong returned to China to start a business with such a talent that he had never experienced, he was lucky enough to raise the start-up capital in Wang Lin's hands.

When Li Yanhong became one of the Internet giants, he recalled this conversation again and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

As early as 1994, Wang Lin predicted the situation where the domestic Internet divided the world into three parts!

He followed Wang Lin's guidance and worked diligently in the search field, and finally made a breakthrough in the world.

In Li Yanhong's view, Wang Lin's foresight is not inferior to Zhuge Kongming.

In an interview in later generations, Li Yanhong publicly said: "Everyone will meet noble people in life, just to see if they can seize opportunities and control their own destiny. My noble people appeared on Wall Street in 1994. At that time, I just joined the Dow Jones Company. I clearly remember that it was a sunny day. I walked past the New York Stock Exchange and passed by my noble people. Fortunately, I recognized him and took the initiative to say hello to him. That's why I have today, today's career, and your favorite Baidu girl!"

The reporters were very surprised and asked Li Yanhong: "Mr. Li, who is your noble person?"

Li Yanhong was full of affection, with tears in his eyes, and looked at the direction of Shencheng, and said excitedly: "My nobleman, he is Mr. Wang Lin! Yes, he is the person you know - the founder of Aixu Group, Wang Lin, the largest shareholder of our company! I would like to call him the godfather of business!"
