420 [Harvard Girl]

The news of Google's financing came back to China, and Lin Zhuoyun and Doudou moved.

There are many journalists who graduated from Fudan University, and the relationship between Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun has caused a sensation on campus, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of reporters. In the past, Song Weiyang was well protected, and Lin Zhuoyun didn't want to be in the limelight, so the regular newspapers tacitly did not report it, and only had some gossip on the Internet.

But now Song Weiyang's net worth has suddenly skyrocketed, and he is still earning dollars, coupled with the Internet bubble, he has once again attracted the attention of major media.

Financial insiders in Hong Kong City even predict that Google's valuation could quadruple in six months at most. And once the IPO goes public, Google's market capitalization could reach $5 billion, or even $8 billion, which is only a relatively conservative estimate. By that time, Song Weiyang's stake in Google alone was worth more than $1 billion.

Although this is still far from the top 10 of the "Forbes Global Chinese Rich List", and belongs to the little brother among the wealthy group in Hong Kong City, Song Weiyang, as a rising business star, is enough to make the Hong Kong City media flock to it.

In particular, an investment of $1 million turned into $319 million in a year, and the terrifying return on investment is jaw-dropping.

So, the Hong Kong City reporter first went to Taurus Capital for an interview, and then went to Shenzhou Technology to ask Song Weiyang about the time of his return to China. In the case of not being able to get the exact news, the Hong Kong City reporter learned from his mainland counterparts that Song Weiyang also had a genuine girlfriend.

Lin Zhuoyun was targeted by the Hong Kong city media because of this, but fortunately they are all regular financial reporters - gossip tabloids generally do not send reporters to the mainland in order to save money.

Hong Kong City reporters found Lin Zhuoyun's residence and inquired about the situation, but Lin Zhuoyun was reluctant to disclose half a word. Gradually, mainland reporters also began to come to Lin Zhuoyun, hoping to get a detailed date for Song Weiyang's return to China, which annoyed Lin Zhuoyun so much that she moved directly with Doudou.

Until the end of May, Song Weiyang suddenly appeared in Hong Kong City and had a light meal with the CEO of Bank of China Investment.

At the end of last year, Bank of China Investment exchanged the stake in Taurus Capital with Song Weiyang, which is the majority shareholder of Google, and the deal brought huge profits in just half a year. The CEO of Bank of China Investment was very happy, and was praised by the superior leaders, and now suddenly proposed to want more shares of Taurus Capital, and even took out the shares of a state-owned enterprise that could not be traded before.

Song Weiyang politely refused, and left business cards with the CEO of Bank of China Investment at the wine table, and the two sides formed a deep "personal friendship".

At the same time, many Hong Kong tycoons took the initiative to contact Taurus Capital, wanting to spend some money to come in and have fun together, and planned to learn from Song Weiyang, an investment genius.

It's really a lesson learned, and now the high-tech industry is very popular in Hong Kong City, and it's the kind of fashion that doesn't do it yourself, but specializes in investing in others. Because Zhang Xuanlong knows many technology companies in the mainland, he has become a guest of honor among the wealthy people in Hong Kong City, and they all regard Zhang Xuanlong as an investment expert in the field of science and technology. From this point of view, Song Weiyang is naturally an investment genius in the field of technology.

Why did Li Chaoren suddenly become the richest man in China in 1999 and held the throne for 15 consecutive years?

Not because of real estate, but because of his high-tech investments!

In 1993, Li Chaoren invested in the communications business in the United Kingdom, and now it has become the third largest mobile communications operator in the United Kingdom.

But the position of the third child is very embarrassing in the business world, and it is often the eldest and the second child who fight, and then beat the third child to death. It is also true that the UK's No. 1 and No. 2 mobile operators have joined forces to frantically suppress Superman Lee's company.

In an embarrassing and embarrassing situation, Li Chaoren released a signal to sell the company and immediately reversed the situation. The top two mobile operators in the United Kingdom fought hard to acquire Li Chaoren's company, and Li Chaoren took the opportunity to sit on the ground and start the price, cashed out 118 billion Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, and obtained the equity of the second largest mobile operator in the United Kingdom. Wait until next year, the UK's largest mobile operator will directly eat the second child with a backhand. The three companies were completely merged, and Li Chaoren held 5% of the company's shares, once again making a profit of HK$50 billion.

If Li Chaoren does not release the news of the sale of the company, I am afraid that the mobile operators in the United Kingdom will still be in a state of three kingdoms. But he took the lead in breaking the deadlock, cashing out more than 100 billion in one year, and the remaining stocks appreciated by more than 50 billion.

Song Weiyang rejected the "kindness" of Hong Kong businessmen, but agreed to contact ICBC International.

ICBC International is a subsidiary financial institution of ICBC, which is similar to the status of Bank of China Investment in Bank of China, and is also headquartered in Hong Kong City, but it is not wholly owned at this time, and ICBC only holds 49% of the shares of ICBC International for the time being.

It is a pity that ICBC International is relatively conservative and does not have assets everywhere like Bank of China Investment, and now it is only a sporadic investment, and it will not be until ten years later that it will fully transform into an investment bank.

ICBC International wanted to directly pay for part of the equity of Taurus Capital this time, but after the initial contact, Song Weiyang felt that the other party's bid was too low, so he asked Taurus Capital to negotiate slowly, until both parties were satisfied and recognized.

After Song Weiyang returned to Hong Kong, he was haunted, and the reporters in Hong Kong City did not interview any useful information, and soon they found out that Song Weiyang had returned to the mainland.

The news of Song Weiyang's appearance at Shenghai Airport spread quickly, and mainland reporters were moved by the news and flocked to Shenzhou Technology. Although Song Weiyang was not successfully blocked, it brought trouble to Shenzhou Technology, and he was almost unable to work normally.

Then, we can only hold a press conference and let the media reporters get out of the way after the interview.

The moment Song Weiyang appeared at the press conference, the audience spontaneously applauded. It is really Song Weiyang's operation that is too powerful, he should be the first private entrepreneur in the country to invest overseas and obtain huge profits, which has an irreplaceable pioneering nature.

"Just ask any questions, I know that everyone is tired of looking for me during this time. Song Weiyang got straight to the point.

After a chuckle, a reporter asked, "Boss Song, is your Google stake really worth $319 million?"

"Nothing more, no less. Song Weiyang said.

"Wow!"

There was a sensation in the audience, the statistics of financial institutions are one thing, and it is another thing to be admitted by Song Weiyang himself.

Another reporter asked, "I heard that you only invested $1 million at the beginning?"

Song Weiyang said: "It's almost, it's actually more than 1 million." ”

"When you first invested, did you think that the more than $1 million would become more than $300 million a year later?" the reporter asked.

Song Weiyang smiled: "I thought it would become 500 million US dollars, but in fact it did not meet my expectations, and those venture capital institutions in the United States are too picky." ”

The reporters were speechless for an instant, 300 times the return on investment a year, is this too little?

Another reporter asked, "Why do you believe that Google can grow so fast?"

Song Weiyang said: "Because Google has created a new and unique business operation model, this model was originally proposed by me, and it has unlimited development prospects. ”

"Google's business model was proposed by you?" the reporter was surprised.

"That's right," Song Weiyang smiled, "The two U.S. founders are in charge of technology and day-to-day management operations, and I provide Google's direction forward." In fact, China's Sogou search is also in this model, but China's Internet has not yet developed. I estimate that in another two or three years, Sogou Search will grow as fast as Google, and the two companies will use the same search technology. ”

The reporter asked: "Sogou is the same technology as Google?"

Song Weiyang explained: "Sogou has long bought out the global Chinese copyright of Google's search technology! That is to say, if Google wants to launch Chinese websites in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong City, Bend, Singapore and other places in the future, Google will have to pay Sogou patent royalties." ”

And this kind of operation? The reporters were speechless.

The reporter then asked: "Some people predict that Google's next round of financing will be valued at least $5 billion, what does Boss Song think about this?"

"I don't even bother to talk without $8 billion. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

The reporters burst into laughter, and they didn't know where the laughter was.

The next reporter's question made Song Weiyang quite speechless: "Boss Song, do you know Liu Yiting, a Harvard girl?"

"What?" Song Weiyang didn't react, this jump was too big.

The reporter said: "Liu Yiting, a Harvard girl, is the first Chinese high school graduate to receive a full scholarship from a prestigious university in the United States. Now she is regarded as the pride of Chinese students, you just came back from the United States, what do you think of this phenomenon?"

Song Weiyang shook his head and said: "There is nothing to evaluate, as long as parents have vision and channels, it is much easier to study abroad on a full scholarship at Harvard than to be admitted to Peking University Tsinghua University, because there are few people competing with her." ”

It's particularly strange to say that the Yankees have just blown up our embassy, and less than a month has passed, and some Chinese high school students have won full scholarships to study at Harvard, which can actually attract national attention and envy.

Prior to this, Chinese students who went to the United States to study were basically master's or doctoral students, with the support and channels of the university. And those who directly send their children to the United States to study for undergraduates, without exception, are all local tyrants, and they can't get full scholarships.

Liu Yiting can cause such a big sensation because she is the first person in the country to go directly to Harvard after high school and get a full scholarship.

The full scholarship is the key, which means that as long as your children study well, they can study abroad for undergraduate studies if they pass the exam, and they don't have to increase the financial burden on their families - can parents across the country be unhappy?

The media also followed the carnival, and there were reports of Harvard girls every day, and its sensational effect even surpassed that of Song Weiyang making a fortune in the United States.

In fact, the success of this Harvard girl is not her own success, but the success of her parents. She didn't even have an SAT score, she had just reached the TOEFL admission line, and she didn't have any talent to speak of. After ten years, let alone a full scholarship, you will not be eligible to go to Harvard at your own expense.

The year Liu Yiting applied to Harvard, her school had just been acquired by Diaverum Education Group and became a private high school. In order to build a brand, private high schools are naturally eager to establish a model, so they selected five students to go to the United States for exchanges.

Before going abroad, her father instilled "Sino-US friendship" in Liu Yiting and made her memorize the international situation. Sure enough, Liu Yiting relied on her "Sino-US friendship" speech to quickly attract the favor of the U.S. docking unit, and during the exchange, she also lived in the home of a U.S. congressman, who later helped her write a letter of recommendation, and the person in charge of enrollment also knew the U.S. congressman.

Everything has been predetermined a long time ago.

Moreover, at this time, there were not many Chinese high school students who directly applied to American universities, and only 44 people competed with Liu Yiting, and Harvard directly admitted 2 people, which was much higher than the college entrance examination acceptance rate in 1999.

After the momentum of the German and Swiss Education Group and the rendering of the national media, Harvard girls suddenly became a phenomenal topic, and even Song Weiyang's press conference was asked about this.

When the reporter heard Song Weiyang's answer, he immediately asked: "Boss Song doesn't seem to approve of this Harvard girl?"

"It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not," Ms. Song said, "I just hope she doesn't stir up a bad trend in China." ”

"What kind of unhealthy tendencies?" the reporter wondered.

Song Weiyang said: "From now on, China's study abroad agencies will extend their claws to high school students, and I estimate that at least more than half of them are scammers, and the introduction is also foreign pheasant universities." Also, Harvard girls are so hot that parents across the country will follow suit, and I'm afraid that students will suffer a lot of crimes. ”
