The recording in the studio continued, and according to the program plan, there will be eight contestants on stage in each episode of the program - the previous reservation was actually ten, but because Li Yadong's investment direction is very clear, ninety percent of the contestants were screened out in the preliminary review stage alone, so in order to be safe and extend the life of the program, Columbia Television and Radio Company made temporary adjustments.

However, a smooth start does not mean that the rest will be smooth sailing, and it is obvious that the director team has also done some research on the order of the players.

And "floating iron" - of course, the real scientific name of this thing is not actually called floating iron, floating iron is just a colloquial name. Obviously, it's something with a lot of investment potential.

Then three representatives of the company took the stage in a row, but unfortunately, they did not succeed in obtaining financing.

It's not that their companies or products have no investment value, but they can only be said to be too small to make a big fuss.

At least in Li Yadong's opinion.

It's like you can't find Bill Gates and try to convince him to invest in a coffee shop.

With that energy, people can earn ten coffee shops.

The accumulation of wealth to the extent that Li Yadong is now, if the volume of a company cannot reach the hundreds of millions level, it is difficult to arouse his interest.

That's the question of vision.

Finally, it was time for the fifth contestant to take the stage.

And as soon as this contestant appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone in the studio.

It's not that he's a celebrity — in fact, he's just a nameless guy with black-rimmed glasses and even a little nervous.

It's not like he took out some great "big killer" as soon as he took the stage - in fact, he didn't have anything in his hand except a microphone.

There was only one reason for this, because he had black hair and yellow skin.

In addition, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and there were two huge Chinese characters printed on the sweatshirt on his body - come on!

Apparently a Chinese undoubtedly, the same as the gold master.

After all, this is the United States, and the proportion of Chinese in the United States is less than 5%, and many people are thinking at the moment: Will the master of gold have a feeling of seeing his fellow countrymen and tears in his eyes?

Thus giving the player the green light, after all, he has rejected three white youths in a row.

This is the reason why everyone attaches great importance to this Chinese young man on stage.

And guess what?

Li Yadong did have the idea of giving the green light, because this young man, he knew!

I've been wondering if this event will attract a few people who will be coaxed in the future, and now, I finally caught one.

Don't brag about it, as long as you can successfully win the person in front of you, Li Yadong feels that the whole TV show this time is not in vain.

"Chinese?" Will asked with a smile.

If he hadn't seen the Chinese characters on the other party's clothes, he might have asked "Japanese?", which is also a normal phenomenon, because in this era, Japan is in full swing, and the world has a great influence.

"I'm from Lift Bay. The young man smiled sly.

"So here's the problem. Will smiled and turned his head to look at Li Yadong, "May I ask where Mr. Li is from?"

"My hometown is Huli. ”

"Is it far away?" Will asked again.

Although the reality is far away, but the heart is very close, and the bay is a treasure island of China, an inseparable part, and the sons and daughters of China have always been concerned about it and look forward to its early return. Li Yadong said.

"Mr. Lee's patriotism is admirable. Will smiled, he wanted to continue the topic, because he knew that such a topic would always arouse the interest of the audience, but the director Thomas stopped it through the headset.

The reason is very simple, if it makes the gold lord unhappy, it will not be good.

"Then this little brother from China's treasure island, I will leave the time to you below, please open your self-introduction and show your weapons. Will left the stage just in time.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yang Zhiyuan, I am twenty-four years old this year, and I am currently studying in the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Stanford University, and I am a sophomore......"

When Yang Zhiyuan introduced himself, Dr. Bugaril on the guest seat also felt a sense of honor.

You must know that Yang Zhiyuan is the youngest of all the contestants currently on the stage, except for him, Bob, but Bob is about to graduate, and he is only a sophomore.

And it is not easy for a sophomore to dare and be able to stand on this stage.

That's the spirit of their Stanford University!

Although Stanford University is only ranked sixth in the national university rankings, it is far inferior to Harvard and MIT, which are ranked first and second.

But Stanford has a spirit that neither Harvard nor MIT combined: entrepreneurship.

In a way, Silicon Valley was born at Stanford University.

As early as 1939, Hewlett and Packard, with the encouragement and support of their mentor Flender Turman, founded the first world-class large enterprise in Silicon Valley, Hewlett-Packard.

And Flender Terman, the vice president of Stanford University, is also known as the "father of Silicon Valley." ”

It was the Stanford Research Institute and the Stanford Industrial Park that he planned that gradually expanded into the prototype of today's Silicon Valley.

"I had an idea to bring it to life, and Professor Tim Berners Lee and his team had made the first World Wide Web server, and the first web server, and they wanted to make the World Wide Web freely available to the world, and I think there was a huge business opportunity hidden in it.

"My friend Ferro and I often use the Internet to organize our information, linking together the information we like, such as scientific research projects, tennis matches, etc., which makes it very easy for us to find this information, which makes me think about a question. If I can link more information, not just the ones we like, and make it a 'World Wide Web Wizard', so that more people can benefit from it and easily search for the information they like......"

"I'm sorry, this Yang, I want to interrupt you. At this time, Ms. Mila suddenly said in the guest seat.

This also made Yang Zhiyuan, who was flying passionately above the stage, smile awkwardly as if someone suddenly snatched the microphone away when a song was being sung.

"I've heard a little about the World Wide Web, but I don't know it very well, but if I'm not mistaken, not only do you not have a company, but you don't have any products, just one idea, or even an idea grafted on someone else's product, and you dare to come here to try to get financing?" Ms. Mira had a question mark on her face, feeling that this matter was incredible.

I wondered how this person got on the stage?

How did she know that in order to prevent herself from missing some future bigwigs, Li Yadong had already handed over a "secret list" to Xiao Yao among the preliminary judges, and asked him to pay close attention to it, only the names on this list appeared at the preliminary trial site, and no matter what strange products or ideas the other party came up with, they all put it in.

Even Michael and Uncle Luo didn't know about this matter, only Li Yadong and Xiaoyao knew.

As for whether Xiao Yao will be surprised by the magic of this list when he suddenly recalls it a few years later, it is not within Li Yadong's consideration.

Besides, even if he has any ideas, it's useless, someone has to believe it, right?

"This ...... Yes. Yang Zhiyuan blushed slightly.

He doesn't have anything at the moment, he comes from a single-parent family, and he can't even afford to buy the Apple Lisa that he has been dreaming of, but he firmly believes that the Internet is the future, and it can change the way people live.

This point has even been verified by himself, and it is strange that it is limited by many factors at this time, the popularity of the Internet is very low, and many people still do not understand its benefits.

And as the Internet becomes more and more popular, people will inevitably gradually appreciate its benefits, so that people like him are almost inseparable now.

His mentor at Stanford University, Professor Gains, often mentioned that demand determines the market.

Since people, at least some of them, are destined to be inseparable from the Internet in the future, there must be business opportunities here.
