Like in his previous life, the video of Jack Ma's speech at Harvard, Columbia University and other places was widely circulated.
It has been 5 years since he was reborn, and Lin Feng has also experienced a lot of things like TV interviews and public speeches in this life, and he is not stage frightened.
Again, in the United States, as long as you are a billionaire with a net worth of billions of dollars, no matter what you say, someone will listen to .......
Of course, Lin Feng does not have the talent of Ma Yun's seemingly natural "orator", but because he has a "strategic vision" that surpasses everyone in the world, it is like holding a telescope to look at the future...... every time he speaks publicly, it will cause deep thought and shock in the industry, and everything that happens after that always proves how accurate his vision is.
Therefore, Lin Feng will be crowned with a series of titles such as "business genius" and "strategist".
Not only because of the rapid development of the enterprise he founded, but also because he never seems to miss a beat in terms of strategy and vision!
Even in the United States, he has successively invested in companies such as Myspace, Facebook, and Youtube, which makes people marvel at how accurate his investment vision is.
On June 2, after the CEO class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business ended, they would be disbanded on the spot and return to China.
But because Lin Feng was invited to give a public speech at Wharton, all the students in the CEO class postponed their trip by one day to watch Lin Feng's speech, on the one hand, to cheer him on, and on the other hand, to listen to Lin Feng's unique ideas on Internet thinking.
Lin Feng's speech was held in the 303 lecture hall in the Jon M Huntsman Hall.
At around 2 p.m., Lin Feng arrived in the classroom, accompanied by Patrick Timothy Harker, the dean of the Wharton School of Business, and was startled as soon as he entered!
The lecture hall with more than 300 seats was packed, and even people were standing in the aisles.
Dean Heke was obviously very satisfied with the attention that this speech had attracted so many people, and he smiled and said to Lin Feng: "As far as I know, there are many people who have rushed from Manhattan temporarily when they heard the news that you are going to give a speech here......
Wharton's relationship with Wall Street is very close, Wharton's finance department is among the best in the world, and most of the graduates go on to Wall Street, which is their home base.
Lin Feng nodded suddenly.
He Ke, who served as the moderator of the speech, began with a speech:
"Welcome to everyone, here, I would like to introduce you to a very young and very good entrepreneur, he is Richard Lin from China, the founder and chairman of the board of directors of Fengxing Group."
Lin Feng sat in the first row below, applauding with everyone, and he noticed that when He Ke introduced him, he used the words "the founder and executive chairman of Funshion Group", and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
He used Funshion Group to privatize Menglong, and it seems clear to everyone that he will merge with Fengxing after Menglong is privatized.
"Born in 1979 in Lanzhou, an ancient city in northwest China, Richard started his business after graduating from Northern University, one of China's leading universities. In 2001, with $24,000 sponsored by his father, he founded Menglong, a company that provides wireless value-added services (SP) to Chinese users. Yes, as we all know, this company went public on the NASDAQ in 2003...... And today, it's about to be privatized......" he said, stretching his hands.
The audience burst into laughter and applause.
In 2002, Richard also founded Funshion online, China's largest internet company, which is now a leader in social networking, instant messaging and online gaming. There are more than 300 million instant messaging users in China, and hundreds of millions of users are popular every day, chatting, listening to music, playing games, sending and receiving emails, ......"
"Richard refers to these services as 'one-stop online life' and 'pan-entertainment', and his dream is to provide more convenient connection services and content services for Internet users in China and around the world."
"When I was chatting with Richard downstairs just now, he said that what is now popular is only the tip of the iceberg of his dreams, and he has greater expectations for him, and I feel from his words that he has a strong desire and belief in the pursuit of his dreams, which makes me very moved, and perhaps this is also the driving force for those great entrepreneurs to succeed."
"What I envy the most is that he is still so young! Yes, D is really a very special entrepreneur, and he is also the richest man in China for two consecutive years by Forbes. He is also one of the most influential figures in the global Internet industry today. ”
"Today, I have the honor to have him to share his story and thoughts with you!"
“Richard!” Heck stretched out his hand to invite.
In the applause from the audience, Lin Feng stood up, walked onto the podium, shook hands with He Ke, and stood in the middle of the podium.
The temperature in Philadelphia in June was very pleasant, and he wore a blue casual suit today, which looked handsome and comfortable.
He placed the outlined speech on his desk so that he could glance at it if he had forgotten. Looking up at the dense audience in the lecture hall, he smiled and began his speech today.
"Thank you, Professor," he thanked Dean Hecker, who had returned to sit in the first row.
"Hello everyone, it is an honor to be here today and to communicate with you. In fact, just yesterday, I was a student of Wharton, and I was following the CEO class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business for a week at Wharton, and I was very surprised and honored to hear that Wharton College invited me to give a speech yesterday. ”
He spread his hands and smiled: "Of course, the time is too tight, I didn't make any preparations, so I thought of where to go." ”
"I just listened to the professor's introduction to me, and I feel that it is very comprehensive, but I am still a little puzzled that the professor may describe me as too capable or influential...... I always thought that I was just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to find some opportunities in the Internet age and did a little thing. ”
This sentence is humble, but thinking of the action that he just raised $1.82 billion to privatize Menglong, it is really a bit of a pretense......
"Now that the professor has already introduced my experience, I won't repeat myself, let's talk about a topic that interests everyone. For example, the privatization of Menglong, which is underway. ”
His remarks immediately aroused warm applause and laughter from the audience.
This is also the strategy of Lin Feng's speech, which cuts through the recent hot topic of privatization, and then expands on his views on the future development trend of the Internet in China and even the world.
This is a rare opportunity to give a public speech at Wall Street's capital markets and the nation's top business schools, and he hopes to brush up on the "Internet strategist" who will be remembered by everyone and will still be talked about years or even ten years later.
