Chapter 214: Speeches by Celebrity Alumni
June 2004 was another summer of football. The European Championship is in full swing in Portugal. It was also a big surprise, as favourites Portugal suffered a surprise defeat to Greece in their opening match.
Huaxia, which is thousands of miles away from Portugal, Liu Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It had been two years since he was reborn into this world. In the past two years, he has been flying and scurrying around like a butterfly with wings, which has influenced and changed the trajectory of many people's lives, and even the entire Internet industry has undergone a lot of changes because of the emergence of Yoyo Network.
When he saw that the opening match of the European Championship was exactly the same as in his previous life, he sighed in his heart that it seemed that this mysterious eastern power had not yet reached distant Europe.
It was a magical European Cup, with both the opening match and the final being played between the same two teams. Portugal, who were unanimously favored before the game, repeated the tragedy of the opening game, once again losing to the big dark horse Greece. This summer, Greek mythology spread all over the world.
The process of the European Cup is completely following the trajectory of the previous life, and there has not changed in the slightest because of the appearance of Liu Yun. He can't influence that far, but at Hangcheng Normal University, because of his influence, an unexpected scene happened.
The 2004 graduation ceremony of Hangzhou Normal University was held in the auditorium of the school, and this time the school leaders specially invited Ma Yun, the biggest celebrity of the school to date, to come to the school to give a short speech.
After Liu Yun received the message from Liu Yueru, he was also in a daze. He remembered that in his previous life, Boss Ma did go back to his alma mater to give a speech, but it was by no means the summer of this year, and he didn't know if it was because of Liu Siyue.
"Have you ever said hello to him?" Liu Yun thought for a moment and sent a message.
"Not yet, the school leaders have been by his side all the time, and there has not been a chance to say hello. It didn't take long for Liu Yueru's message to come back.
Liu Yun picked up his mobile phone and wanted to say that you are now the CEO of Youyou Network, and you are no longer an ordinary female college student, but halfway through the wording, he hesitated slightly, deleted the information, and rewrote a new one: Sister, after this graduation ceremony, it will be announced that your student days are officially over.
He could think that his cousin's heart at this moment must be full of various complex emotions such as reluctance and sadness.
Soon Liu Yueru's message came back: After graduation, you can put all your mind on work, so that you always complain about school things and always have to share my energy.
Liu Yun just smiled when he saw the information, knowing that his cousin loved to joke.
……
In the auditorium, a round of warm and rapid applause was given to the speaker who was about to take the stage, Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba and the most famous alumnus of Hangzhou Normal University in history.
As usual, the old horse used his three-inch tongue to enliven the already sleepy atmosphere.
"Teachers, brothers and sisters, good afternoon. I am very proud to be a member of Hangzhou Normal School. It is a great honor to be invited by the school leaders to come to this podium to give a speech to the graduating students. "This is a meritorious and secular society, and for those who have come of age and are about to enter the society to find a job, earn money, earn a living, and support their families, a successful businessman with a lot of money will always attract their interest more than those scholars and professors.
"Mr. Ma, you teach us how to be the boss and how to make a lot of money. One of the boys asked excitedly, looking forward to it.
Ma Yun pointed at the boy who was speaking with a smile and said, "This classmate's question is really direct and frank enough. Nowadays, young people are really most interested in making money. ”
All the students present couldn't help but let out a "oh" in unison to echo Mr. Ma's words.
"All of you are my younger brothers and sisters, and they are all my own people, so I will tell you the truth today. Ma Yun on the podium said with a smile.
Suddenly, many students burst into extremely warm applause.
"A lot of people think that I started a business to make money, because a lot of people say that starting a business is to make money in order to make more money, I don't start a business to make money. I started my business in the hope that I would be able to bring the best experience back to university teaching in the future, because I love teaching. Ma Yun was on the podium and began to talk as if no one was around.
At this moment, the whole venue was silent, and those students all looked at Ma Yun on the stage with some surprise, and what he said made everyone a little unbelievable.
Liu Yueru, who was sitting at the bottom, was also very surprised, and kept asking herself in her heart: Is this senior serious, or is he joking. But his expression didn't look like a joke.
If Liu Yun was in this venue and witnessed Ma Yun's speech, he would definitely smile. Internet bigwigs especially like to pretend to be X, and this has a long history. More than ten years later, Liu Yun has already seen such a scene, but it is only that students of this era do not have similar experiences, so they will make a fuss.
For example, the boss of JD.com, when he interviewed the host in the CCTV program, he could even say unashamedly, "I'm face blind, and I don't know if my wife is beautiful." ”
This sentence immediately swept the entire Internet and became the target of various spoof jokes by netizens.
Liu Yun naturally doesn't believe in such a set of statements, he believes that there are men with face blindness, but even a man with a face blind can definitely tell whether a girl is beautiful or not.
Ma Yun seemed to be very satisfied with the expressions of these students, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't hide it. The happiest time in my life was when I was teaching at Hangzhou Normal School and getting a salary of 91 yuan. ”
The students in the audience continued to be petrified.
"I don't like money, I'm not interested in money!" Ma Yun continued to say categorically.
In the first half of the speech, he kept pretending to be X, making the students go crazy. No
In the second half, he still said some experience in managing the company: I, Ma Yun, can't write programs, and so far I still don't understand what this computer program is about, but I understand management, so the company is up, and the only job I do is to speak, manage those who work well, give them confidence, and twist the whole company into a rope. To do business, you must have perseverance and determination, such as a sentence that I used to often hang on my lips: today is cruel, tomorrow will be even more cruel, the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but the vast majority of people die tomorrow night.
When many students were very immersed in Ma Yun's somewhat subversive thinking and not following the routine's speech, Liu Yueru was the first to understand that real success cannot be imitated, and it is impossible to say it on the podium. What's more, everyone is a different individual, and everyone's success trajectory is also different and unique.
