Chapter 384: Visiting the Li Family
Chapter 384 Visiting the Li Family
β¦β¦
"Mr. Guo, after listening to your speech just now, I am personally very inspired. At the same time, I also very much agree with your judgment on the future of the Internet. What I want to ask is, if you want to start a business in the Internet space, which field should you choose, or which one is more likely to be successful, search, e-commerce, or community?"
The question was asked by a young man in a suit and leather shoes, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and it could be seen that he should be the kind of person who has accumulated a certain amount of social experience and contacts, and is not willing to just work for others plainly, and wants to come out and break through.
"It's hard for me to give you an accurate answer to this question, because what I think you don't necessarily fit into. After all, everyone's experience and ability are different. But since you asked, I'll give you my answer. But I hope you just use it as a reference and don't make a blind choice. β
ββ¦ Search, eCommerce, and Community. My advice is, don't touch the search, because there's no chance left. E-commerce and community have the greatest opportunities, but there are differences. E-commerce requires more capital, and communities are relatively easy to use. And there are many types of communities, life, music, film and television, Q&A, etc., there are more choices and opportunities. If you lack capital and connections, then the community is the best fit for the average entrepreneur. β
"Thank you. What do you think is most important for an Internet company?"
"I won't talk about the specific administration, because everyone understands the reason, but it's just a matter of implementation. Let me say a few words about the technical aspects. For a website, it's not that you have many functions and a beautiful layout, it's good. It's about making it as simple as possible. It's so simple that someone who has never been online knows how to do it at a glance, and your website design is successful. As I often say to Ruby and Google's product managers: don't make me think. β
Because there were so many people and there were more people who were curious to ask questions, the speech, which was originally planned to end in an hour and a half, lasted for nearly three hours. If it weren't for the fact that the sun was setting and the sky had already darkened, I am afraid it would still have continued.
stood and talked for three hours, and he had to use his brain in the middle, and Guo Shouyun's physical strength was basically consumed at the end. Therefore, after a brief exchange with Kim McGee and others, he resigned from the banquet in the evening. Everyone also understood his hard work, so they didn't force it anymore.
There is no doubt that his lecture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong was extremely successful. Although limited to the network speed and lack of communication channels in this era, it is difficult for the three-hour, nearly 3G video to circulate in a large area, but the clips of the video still spread quickly.
When LinkedIn Classroom put the three-hour video on the front page as 'Internet and Future,' its impact really spread.
"Internet 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, his eyes penetrate the next thirty years!"
"Godfather of the Internet, the future is in his head!"
"Big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, holographic technology, Bruce Guo's Internet landscape has surpassed this era!"
"America's greatest genius of the 21st century!"
"Fantasy or fantasy, let's wait and see!"
With the dissemination of the speech video and the headlines of major media reports, Guo Shouyun's popularity has risen to a new level again. Moreover, more and more people are beginning to call him the 'godfather of the Internet'.
"Boss, now countless companies are calling us to investigate our big data technology. But we don't have any research on this at all, and you're really making us miserable!"
Tim George, CEO of Ruby on the phone, complained with a smile.
"In fact, the R&D and investment in big data is a strategic plan that I am only going to implement after 5 years for the company. It's just that when I gave a speech last time, I had to mention the Internet. However, now that the words have been spoken, you have officially established the Ruby Research Institute under the Ruby Company, specializing in the research and development of big data and cloud computing technology. However, now the hardware and software technology are not up to the requirements, so the initial investment does not have to be too high. β
"Got it, but I'm afraid few people have a clear understanding of big data and cloud computing technology except for you, so how do we get started?"
"You set up the department first, and then I'll tell you how to do it!" After a moment of silence, Guo Shouyun said.
"Understood!"
After a brief chat, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone. In fact, Tim wasn't the first to call, as many of his friends, including Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Bezos, and Steve Jobs, called to ask about the concepts he mentioned in his speech that are now very ahead of their time. These people are elites, and the depth and breadth of their questions surpass ordinary people, so Guo Shouyun almost wiped out the inventory of his previous life to meet their needs.
However, this also brought a benefit, which gave him a deeper understanding of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
"People die and leave a name, and geese leave a voice. Maybe I should put this knowledge together and publish it in a book!"
Guo Shouyun, who had deeply experienced the benefits of writing, suddenly had this idea in his mind.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided that this was indeed a good idea. Moreover, writing a book means consulting ten times as many times as a book, which is also a learning process. It can help Guo Shouyun deepen his understanding of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and other aspects. If an elite person asks another question about this, he will not be left without anything to say.
"After all, the life of a secretary who has nothing to do is just the imagination of a bored person, and when I really get to this position, I know how difficult it is to keep this position! Guo Shouyun shook his head, took out a stack of manuscript paper from the drawer, and prepared to conceive.
"Knock...!"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Boss, it's time!" Rebecca said, pushing the door open.
"I almost forgot. Guo Shouyun slapped his forehead, he had agreed to Li Zeju's invitation and was going to visit Li's house today.
"What time is it?"
"Half past eight in the morning!"
"It's still too late. I'm going to change my clothes first!"
Guo Shouyun simply changed into a suit, and after looking in the mirror that there was no problem, he took Rebecca and Matthew out of the door.
In his last life, Li Ka-shing heard the three words in his ears, so Guo Shouyun is still very much looking forward to visiting this senior in the business world this time.
79 Deep Water Bay Road, Hong Kong.
Far away, Guo Shouyun saw the white building with a European-style castle. Although among the mansions that Guo Shouyun has seen, it is not too outstanding. But in a crowded and cramped place like Hong Kong, owning a private house of this scale is already top-notch.
The security check at the entrance is the highest Guo Shouyun has ever seen, but this is understandable. After all, with Li Zeju being tied up, everyone will be concerned about the safety of themselves and their families. For example, after experiencing Molly Bevan's incident, whenever he goes out, there are never less than six bodyguards around him. The terrorist attack at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai doubled that number. Although this seems to outsiders to be exaggerated, no matter how much gossip about others is, it is not as important as one's own life. Life is gone, everything is vain.
Seeing the two generations of the Li family father and son standing at the foot of the door, welcoming him, Guo Shouyun hurriedly pushed open the door and walked over.
"I'm really ashamed to bother Mr. Li to greet him personally!"
Mr. Guo was polite. When a distinguished guest comes to the door, how can I, the host, not greet him personally. β¦ By the way, Zeju, you know, this is my youngest son Li Zekai. β
Looking at the man with eyes, short hair, and a smile on his face, Guo Shouyun stretched out his right hand to the other party. For this famous Hong Kong merry man, he has been known for a long time. The speed at which the other party changed his girlfriend was only comparable to the later Sicong. Therefore, many jokes in later generations are: Nan Zekai, Bei Sicong, girlfriends never spend winter.
"Brother Zekai, I have also been known for a long time, especially the business methods of Hong Kong Telecom's acquisitions. β
"Mr. Guo is overrated. Compared with your layout in the Internet industry, as well as the operation of Enron Pacific and Matrix Group, I am still far behind. β
The 66-year-old Li Zekai is one and a half rounds older than the 80-year-old Guo Shouyun, but here, the two sides are barely a generation.
After a brief care, Guo Shouyun presented a bottle of 90-year-old RomanΓ©e Conti red wine as a gift. Then the group walked into the living room of the villa.
"I heard that Mr. Guo likes to drink black tea. Therefore, I specially prepared the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain, please taste it. β
"Really, then I'm going to have a taste!"
In the foreplay of tea knowledge communication, after everyone chatted for a while, they each asked about what they cared about.
"How long is Mr. Guo going to stay in Hong Kong this time?" Li Ka-shing said.
"This time I came mainly to attend the year-end summary meeting of GCA Group, and now the matter is over. Prepare to go to Pengcheng in a few days!"
"Pengcheng, Tencent?" Li Zekai interjected.
"That's right!"
"To be honest, after listening to Mr. Guo's speech at Chinese University, I now regret selling you Tencent shares!"
"The world is like a new chess game, who can be 100% sure that what I said in my previous speech may not be fully realized, as I said. Moreover, I also have a lot of uncertainty about the future. β
"That being said. But if I want to buy Mr. Guo's Tencent shares, you must not be willing?"
Guo Shouyun smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The silent refusal has clearly indicated his attitude.
