Seattle, an idyllic city, a vibrant city, and even more so because of a movie, makes people familiar with this romantic city. At this juncture, however, many of the most elite in the computer IT industry flocked to a grand seminar organized by the host, Microsoft.

Jim is a Ph.D. student at MIT, and in fact, he is already making a name for himself in the computer IT industry. Like many young people in the computer and IT industry in this era, with dreams of entrepreneurship and billionaires, Jim wanted to look for opportunities at this seminar. In a word, it's best to find investors who are interested in you!

"Hello Steve, Mackay!" As soon as I got off the plane, I met two acquaintances. Both of them were in a similar situation to Jim, so they both laughed tacitly, after all, investors said that it was difficult to find, and it was quite difficult, maybe they would become competitors in the next few days.

"Let's drop by. "Steve is more active," Microsoft has arranged a good arrangement this time, and has already booked a hotel for us. Their share price is back to $140. It was also heard that Microsoft will soon conduct its next public offering. "Because these people are famous, Microsoft arranged for free food and lodging. Of course, you need to pay for the round-trip expenses, after all, they are not big bulls.

If you think about it, Microsoft is now their goal and motivation. Jim asked, "Guys, are you interested in working at Microsoft? I heard they're short of people?"

"What about you?" Steve asked rhetorically.

"I ......? I still prefer research. "In person, Jim certainly wouldn't reveal what he really thought.

However, at this moment, the introverted and reticent Ma Kai suddenly said: "Why can't we cooperate? We are very familiar with each other, and the directions we are good at can complement each other, and together we can have a greater grasp of finding investors." ”

"Huh?" Jim and Steve looked at each other, and the words woke up the dreamer, which was true. Aren't many computer IT companies joint ventures?

It was as if a problem had been lifted, and the atmosphere was immediately much more harmonious. After stopping a taxi, the servants sat down, and after chatting a few words about the latest computer information, Jim asked, "Steve, is there any news?"

"Jim, if you're asking about a seminar, there's one - the White Lotus Company will be sending someone to attend. Steve laughed.

"Huh?" the other two exclaimed in unison. Jim asked, "Is that the Chinese boy?"

"Yes, his name is Bramble. Steve smiled, "His personal shareholding has reached 5%, and he is already a major shareholder of Microsoft, so he should be regarded as one of the owners this time." It's about to go public, and I don't know if it will fall again. ”

Due to the fact that the shareholding ratio of 5% is already very small, some time ago, Jing Jian simply spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain the qualification of Microsoft's major shareholder. This is also an advertisement for the White Lotus in disguise.

Ma Kai was a little strange: "Didn't I hear that the average stock price of that Bramble's holdings is above $170, and now it's just over 140, how can he buy it again?"

Steve glanced at Ma Kai, and despised Ma Kai in his heart: "The China Securities Regulatory Commission has gone to investigate, how can it be a loss? In fact, this Chinese kid is very rich, and he is a playboy who spends a lot of money." Aren't you spending tens of millions of dollars to make movies now, pursuing Mai Ting?"

"Huh?" Jim was taken aback, "he's chasing Mai Ting?

"It's all so legendary. Pursued Lumina before and released a record for her. Now I have abandoned the chaos and gone to make a movie to make Mai Ting popular. Haven't you heard that single from Lumina?"

"Huh?" it turned out to be a message from the Roadside Society. But Jim thought about it again and thought that it was indeed possible.

And Ma Kai finally pulled back to the topic: "In any case, there are indeed technical bottlenecks in development, and technology is to serve applications, and the network is likely to be the future development direction." ”

"Isn't it important to develop new technologies? I think it's still software. That's how Microsoft succeeds. Jim objected, then added, "The Internet may be the future, but what I want is now!"

Seeing that there might be an argument, Steve hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Actually, there will be a special report on White Lotus at the seminar, and we can ask questions at that time." Anyway, that Chinese kid has his own ideas, so why don't we listen to them?"

"Huh?" the other two were surprised again, "Steve, how do you know?"

"Before I came, I looked at the schedule. Steve explained with a smile, "And this special presentation is this afternoon." It was placed in the conference room of the hotel where we were staying. ”

"Isn't the seminar officially starting tomorrow this afternoon?"

"Hehe, how do I know that? I'd like to hear about it anyway. ”

"Go together, go together. Driver, please hurry!"

......

There were quite a few people who shared Jim's idea, and the three-hundred-seat conference hall was almost full before the presentation began. And standing on the stage ready to give a special speech is Kent, the general manager of White Lotus.

In fact, after the Microsoft hype incident, Jing Jian was invited to participate in many conferences of all sizes in the computer IT industry, but Jing Jian refused all of them.

And this time, after receiving the invitation letter, Jing Jian was unconventional and happily agreed to participate. Not himself, of course, but his royal microphone, Kent. By the way, the unexpected effect of the hype has made the computer IT industry have acquiesced to Jing Jian's status. Even though Jing Jian's relationship with Microsoft's upper echelons is very stiff, this time, Microsoft still pinched its nose and sent an invitation.

However, Kent's status is a little worse, and the formal meeting of the symposium will certainly not have his share, only this informal thematic report in advance.

Looking at the people in the audience, Kent was quite calm. After a long period of verbal battles and media contact, he has long been accustomed to seeing big scenes. When the host announced the start, Kent began his speech:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is "How to Seize the Wave of New Technology and Become a Billionaire as Soon as possible". Before I begin, I would like to state that the main content of this speech is the work of the White Lotus' boss, the Venerable Mr. Bramble. And I'm just copying and preaching, please forgive me for my stupidity, what I understand is probably 10 percent. If you have any questions that cannot be answered, please forgive me!"

Kent's opening remarks immediately attracted the attention of Jim and the others......
