Chapter 360: Yale Speech
Since Su Mu came up with the hypertext link protocol, the NASDAQ index has entered a slow but sustained rise process, this year Cisco announced that the network data transmission solution is passed, which will double the network speed and reduce the cost of Internet access for netizens.
It took decades for Mr. Walton to cultivate the Wal-Mart supermarket chain market step by step to such a large size, and it seems to be much easier to make a fortune in Silicon Valley.
With huge market potential, it can be expected that there will still be great room for growth for a long time to come, so this time back to Yale University, Su Mu donated a physics laboratory, which will cost him more than 40 million US dollars......
Offstage is the crowd.
Su Mu stood on the stage, he was younger than most of the alumni on the scene, when he stayed in the school a few years ago, the students of the school just thought that he had achievements, but it was not to the point of unattainability, recently it has been different, recently he really made the students present need to worship him with a perspective of looking up.
Su Mu's voice came from the stereo: "When I went back to school to hand in my graduation thesis, I didn't expect our principal to let me speak, and I didn't expect so many people to participate, and I didn't have time to write a speech, so I plan to say something casually...... Just tell me about myself, and I hope you can learn something from my experience, and it would be great if it could inspire you to help you succeed in the future. ”
The audience was quiet, and a pair of eyes looked at Su Mu, they were extremely interested in this super super rich alumni.
The voice continued: "I was born in Los Angeles, California, in Chinatown, east of Los Angeles, and some people think that Chinatown represents the slums, and indeed, in that area where I lived until I was sixteen, a lot of people were really poor.
My father owned a family restaurant, my mother looked for work but didn't last long, and my grandparents used to work as tailors, hand-making cheap clothes for people who couldn't afford to buy high-end formal clothes. My family is not wealthy, because we don't have enough savings, and I can't even afford to help my grandmother treat her when she gets sick, and I never tell anyone about it, because she unplugged the oxygen tube herself, just to keep our family from going bankrupt. ”
"I can't guess what she thought at the time, but now I can't see her again, even if I pay a billion or two billion dollars, and it's a huge sadness. The call bell was at her hand, as long as she pressed it, a nurse came to help, but my grandmother never pressed it, she didn't want to be a burden to our family, so she chose to die. ”
Su Mu paused for a while, and the audience became quieter, using this kind of thing as the beginning of his speech, so that everyone was focused and silent.
"That's right, I grew up in such a family, just an ordinary person, there are children of senators on the scene, there are children of billionaires, you have a much higher starting point than me. I want to say that everyone has the possibility of success, not only to you, but also to everyone, family poverty should not be an excuse for you to be willing to fall, but should work harder than others, as for you on the scene, the starting point is already a lot higher than others, so what is the reason not to work hard?"
"After making our first money, my partner and I opened a supermarket, which didn't exist in California at the time, and with the large number of residents around Chinatown, our business was pretty good.
I was content at the time, especially after making my first million dollars, and now I may have made a million dollars in the time I spoke, but at the time, it was a huge amount of money for me at the age of sixteen. Just after I went to study in Menlo Park, I got a call from my partner one day, and he told me that he wanted to buy my shares, for less than half of the actual market value, maybe he was treating me like a child who didn't know anything. I was already making a fortune selling IBM computers in Silicon Valley, and I ended up buying his shares instead, because I knew it was very dangerous to do business with such people......"
Su Mu's tone was flat, telling the people present about himself, and occasionally adding some of his own feelings, which made them feel more profound than the inspirational speech full of great truths, pondering what Su Mu said, and generating their own thoughts in their minds.
At this moment, Su Mu was talking about China, analyzing the system and the living conditions of the residents of that country, and telling them many things they didn't know, such as seeking change, trying to seek investment assistance from international capital with policy changes, and improving the living standards of local residents.
It had been nearly an hour and a half since he began to say, which was longer than some classes, and had already exceeded the original plan, and some students still had classes, but they sat and did not leave, and they thought that many of the things Su Mu said were things that they could not learn in class, and it was more helpful to their lives.
Before that.
The vast majority of Yale students know Su Mu, who is now the most famous celebrity among the students, because no one is as accomplished as him, and the graduates are the most famous among President George H.W. Bush.
Through today's speech, people have learned more about him, and until Su Mu finished speaking and was about to leave, a large group of students surrounded him, asking him if he had the opportunity to work in his company, asking him about the development prospects of the IT industry, etc., Su Mu answered one by one.
Most of the master's degrees are in hand, and the next time I go back to this school, most of them will be until the graduation ceremony, when Su Mu leaves for Silicon Valley.
At the end of 1991, Forbes magazine published a news that raised Sumu's ranking to the third in the world, many technologies are in a bottleneck period, and they will not be solved for a while, but every time a new technology appears, it will make the development of the IT industry one step closer, because there is money to be made, and capital from all countries will look at the Silicon Valley area.
As long as the project is good enough, the worry is not the lack of funds, but the worry that there are too many people who want to finance, in this case, Su Mu will take out the game company, ready to carry out the first round of financing for it, the valuation is as high as more than 900 million US dollars, the specific Su Mu can not guess, simply think of a good way, the company 15% of the shares out, according to the reserve price of 140 million US dollars for "auction", the last Arab rich man out of the circle, announced the injection of 220 million US dollars......
