The reason why Song Weiyang came to Tsinghua with a hat is because he has a high exposure rate among young people, and he is easy to be recognized if he does not cover it.

Of course, there are also reasons why the weather is too hot, and the brim of the hat can protect it from the sun.

Song Weiyang looked up at Bill Gates with a smile and asked, "As we all know, Mr. Bill Gates, your father is the co-founder of one of the top ten law firms in the United States, your mother is the first female chairman of the United Way Association and the first female director of the first interstate bank in the United States, and your grandfather is also a famous banker in the United States. Excuse me, did they have any special help during your start-up period?"

There was silence, and then it became noisy again.

Bill Gates is a global youth entrepreneurship icon, and there are countless chicken soup articles about him, and it is the first time everyone has heard this kind of anti-chicken soup rhetoric.

Yes, other people's parents and grandfathers are awesome, how can you learn from a grassroots background?

Anyone can drop out of school and start a business, but can you come up with start-up capital?

The school leaders and official personnel who were responsible for accompanying them did not look very good-looking, but it was also inconvenient to directly drive Song Weiyang away.

However, Bill Gates was very calm and smiled: "First of all, the law firm that my father co-founded with a friend was not ranked in the top 10 in the United States when I first started my business, and it was difficult to even rank in the top 30 in the United States. It was through years of business cooperation with Microsoft that my father's law firm grew rapidly. Secondly, my grandfather was indeed a banker, but he was not the top of the list, just one of many bankers in the United States. My mother inherited my grandfather's legacy, but she was mainly engaged in charitable activities. ”

Song Weiyang asked, "I heard that your mother is good friends with the chief executive of IBM?

Yes, Bill Gates's mother is a director of IBM is a pure rumor, and people just have a close relationship with IBM's chief executive when they are doing charity - she is the president of the United Way Association, and she has dealings with many corporate executives in the United States, and her connections are very scary, which is better than the status of an IBM director.

Bill Gates smiled: "Microsoft's first cooperation with IBM is indeed related to my mother. At that time, IBM was a big company, and Microsoft was just a small guy, and they didn't want to work with Microsoft at all. However, my proposal was so good that I had the IBM design team escalate all the way to the top and even to the highest level of discussion at the highest meeting. Other senior officials thought Microsoft was underqualified, and my mother's friend, who happened to be the new CEO of IBM, asked, 'Is that Mary's son?' and the assistant said, 'Yes.'" So he called my mother, 'What can your son do when he only went to college for two years?' and my mother said, 'This time I will vouch for my son with my achievements and my character.' In this way, Microsoft and IBM have successfully cooperated, and I would like to thank my mother for her help. However, if Microsoft's solution was not perfect, it would not have been escalated to IBM management at all, and my mother would not have had a chance to speak for me. No matter what you do, you need to have your own strength. Are you still satisfied with this answer, friend?"

"Very satisfied. Song Weiyang did not continue to raise the bar, lest Bill Gates not be able to get off the stage.

In fact, IBM had a lot of options at the time, and Microsoft's solution simply couldn't outperform the competition across the board. With a bunch of great options to choose from, IBM's new CEO chose to work with a friend's son.

Without his mother's help, Bill Gates might have missed the opportunity, and Microsoft would certainly not have been able to develop as quickly and smoothly.

Of course, Bill Gates is also right, and his own strength is also very important, otherwise the IMB top management will not see Microsoft's plan at all.

It's like two outstanding young people competing for a job, and they are on par in terms of ability, and the employer will naturally choose the one that has a relationship.

Bill Gates also seemed a little embarrassed, and immediately shifted his attention and began to tell a short story about entrepreneurship: "When I was in my third year of college, I lost interest in my studies, and I told my parents that I wanted to drop out of school and start a business. But my parents objected, and they invited Mr. Storm, a well-known self-made entrepreneur in the United States, to convince me to give up the idea of starting a business. Thanks to Mr. Storm, who, after talking to me, encouraged me to do my best and helped me convince my parents. I didn't receive financial support from my parents during my time at Microsoft, but I have to thank them for their moral help. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "OK, I'm fine." ”

Bill Gates was a little depressed in his stomach, because he felt that Song Weiyang was here to smash the field, and smiled: "This classmate, can you take off your hat? ”

"As you wish. Song Weiyang took off his hat and said.

"This man is a little familiar!"

"Maybe it's next door. ”

"Most of them are from the school next door, and only the students of Peking University are so rude. ”

"It's Song Weiyang, Xifeng Song Weiyang!"

"It's him!"

"Who is Song Weiyang?"

“……”

More and more students recognized Song Weiyang, and they were noisy and noisy.

Since the bankruptcy of Giant Group, Shi Yuzhu, a former youth entrepreneurial idol, has become the first loser in China, from the eighth place on the rich list, to a debt of 250 million yuan in an instant. And Song Weiyang has become the only youth entrepreneurship idol, and his influence among young people has risen.

According to a media survey in July this year, among the youth (business) idols elected by 100,000 young people across the country, Bill Gates ranked first and Song Weiyang ranked second, with a difference of only more than 4,000 votes.

A student suddenly shouted: "Let Bill Gates and Song Weiyang have a live dialogue, the exchange between the two business wizards of the East and the West will definitely be wonderful!"

"On-site exchanges, summit dialogue between Eastern and Western youth!" Someone immediately echoed, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

Bill Gates was a little confused and asked the Chinese escort around him: "Is this young man very famous?"

"He is a young entrepreneur in China. The Chinese personnel said.

A Chinese person on the side stood up and said: "Mr. Bill Gates, his name is Song Weiyang, when his father was in prison, he took over the family's debt factory when he was in middle school, and turned losses into profits in three months. The Coke he produces has already beaten Pepsi in China, second only to Coca-Cola in sales. Until now, he has not graduated from university. ”

After listening to the introduction, Bill Gates instantly became interested, and said with a smile: "This is a business genius, and I am very happy to have an in-depth communication with him." ”

The school could only bring another stool, invite Song Weiyang to the front, and let the surrounding sit on the lively seat.

"Hello, Mr. Gates," Song Weiyang shook his hand, "I was too presumptuous to ask those questions just now. ”

Bill Gates said: "No need to apologize, it's a pleasure to meet you." I heard that the Coke you produce has surpassed Pepsi in China?"

"That's nothing to brag about," Mr. Song said, "Coke is just one of my products, and I've also invested in the software industry." ”

Bill Gates was pleasantly surprised: "What's the name of your software company?"

"Gold Mountain. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Someone immediately came over to chew on the root of the tongue: "Mr. Gates, Kingsoft is ORD's biggest competitor in China, and ORD has lost all of its products this year, and its market share has fallen below 30%. If the Chinese version of the vulnerability is not improved, the ORD market share is likely to fall below 10% next year. ”

This is really embarrassing, even more embarrassing than being asked about my parents just now.

However, Bill Gates is more interested in Song Weiyang because they can have a lot of common language. For example, Microsoft's investment in the acquisition of Kingsoft was discussed a few years ago, but Qiu Bojun refused.

On the campus of Tsinghua University, the sun is very strong.

Song Weiyang and Bill Gates sat in the middle, surrounded by thousands of teachers, students and people outside the school, some with something under their buttocks, and some endured it despite the hot ground.

This was a "summit dialogue" between Eastern and Western youth, and many media reporters in Beijing were extremely excited, and several foreign media reporters took pictures frantically.

What's the headline for tomorrow?
