Yanjing Baidu Headquarters

Li Yan looked at the newly published journal "Economic Research" in his hand, his heart was surging and full of emotion.

As the CEO of Baidu, in the field of the Internet, he thinks that he is one of the few people who have the deepest and most thorough understanding of the Internet economy in China. There are even some things that have just sprouted in his mind and have not yet taken shape, and they were unceremoniously mentioned in the article, which made Li Yan dumbfounded!

"The Internet is not something unique to the new economy and new fields, and eventually it will become a tool that can be applied to all industries, just like the products of the industrial era such as steam engines and electricity. With the steam engine, electricity can be done in all walks of life, and the Internet will also be revived in all walks of life............ In the era of mobile Internet, with more user needs and more industrial connections, unprecedented opportunities have been brought to various industries, and new rules of the game are being formed. Whether it is Internet practitioners or innovators in traditional fields, they should be more active and active in participating in this change......"

At first glance, these opinions and arguments seem to have no actual basis and are inconspicuous, and ordinary people may not even look at those inexplicable professional terms, but in the eyes of Li Yan and other people who really know the industry, the author who wrote this article is undoubtedly an industry insider with a super keen economic vision and a deep understanding of the Internet industry.

Li Yan suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as the CEO of a large IT company, in terms of technology, he can't compare with the chief engineer in the company, in terms of management, he can't compare with many professional managers, in terms of personality charm, those are all false, don't mention it.

In fact, in Li Yan's heart, the biggest difference and advantage between him and his employees lies in the pattern of Internet development strategy, and these are based on his own learning and thinking when he studied and worked in the United States, which is where he is truly confident that he can surpass the cost of others.

In normal times, when Li Yan talks with some business celebrities and officials of the Ministry of Information Industry, although he is treated with courtesy because of his achievements today, in fact, whenever Li Yan talks to them about Internet thinking and development opportunities, few people can listen to them, which makes him feel very depressed, and he feels that few people can talk to him in such an environment as China. But it's no wonder that those guys are all old antiques, and their thoughts have been stuck in the economic model of the last century, how can they understand his thoughts and vision?

And the only few IT company bosses who are as famous as their own companies, maybe they can really talk to them, but most of these people are too far away from Yanjing, and they are too busy to have time to contact.

As for the major IT giants located in Yanjing City, they basically either look down on themselves or see themselves as threats. Li Yan is also an arrogant person in his heart, you look down on me, I don't bother to take care of you! One day there will be Baidu in the world, Li Yan has no doubt about this, even if it seems to be inseparable from Li Yan in the search field of Google, Li Yan is actually not optimistic about them, do not deal with things in combination with the actual situation in China, the strategic direction of the company has problems, although it is a supergiant in the field of international search, but in Li Yan's view, it is just a foreign power, and sooner or later it will decline.

Li Yan flipped the paper to the front, the first author's signature was a person named Li Bei, Li Yan was a little puzzled, people who can have this kind of insight in China don't say that he Li Yan knows everything, but at least there will be a general impression, and the name Li Bei is very unfamiliar to Li Yan, is the author a person who has just returned from abroad, so he has such a clear grasp of the pulse of the future Internet economy?

Li Yan looked at the corresponding author of the paper again, and saw that this person knew himself, this economist named Tong Jianwen is one of the few old professors in China who has a deep understanding of economic theory, and his articles often appear in major domestic and international authoritative journals and magazines, and Li Yan naturally knows this person.

However, as far as Li Yan knows, Professor Tong Jianwen is now teaching at Jiangcheng University, and as the corresponding author, he often refers to the person in charge of the project, who is responsible for the funding, design, writing and gatekeeping of the project. In this way, could it be that the first author named Li Bei is a graduate student led by Professor Tong? That's kind of interesting.

However, he said that after Li Bei finished class the next day, Sun Liqun came to look for him, and it turned out that Professor Tong asked him to come over.

Li Bei also felt a little embarrassed when he followed Sun Liqun on the road, during this time, due to the many things on the side of Beidou Technology Company, he didn't go when Professor Tong and graduate students assigned tasks to discuss topics, and now Professor Tong let himself go, won't he be training himself, right?

When he arrived at the door of Professor Tong's office, Sun Liqun looked at Li Bei's sad face and was happy: "Why is this expression, seeing that the teacher is not on the execution ground, go quickly, Tong Lao is waiting for you." ”

"Brother Sun, you don't know, I've been busy all this time, I haven't listened to the professor's class much, and I have fallen behind once or twice in my homework, and this time I am definitely going to be trained." Li Bei said with a sigh.

"What's the matter, maybe this time it's good news! Let me tell you, this morning I also heard the teacher in the company discuss that a student named Li Bei in our institute has published an article in the journal "Economic Research" as the first author, "Economic Research" You know, it is sponsored by the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and it is currently the most authoritative economics journal in China, this is not your good thing! Professor Tong must have come to you because of this. It's a pity that I'm in a hurry, and I haven't gone to the hospital to borrow this issue of the journal to read, so I'll have to take a good look at what Li Dacaizi from our Institute of Economics and Management wrote this time, hehe! Sun Liqun looked at Li Bei and frowned all the way, but he didn't see it all the way, and now he waited until the two of them arrived at the door of Professor Tong's office to tell him about it, which was really a bad conscience.

Hearing Sun Liqun's words, Li Bei's heart was relieved, and he was finally not as depressed as he was just now. Professor Tong has always valued him, hoping that he can achieve something academically, and has helped him a lot in school, sometimes facing Professor Tong Li Bei has always felt quite ashamed, but unfortunately his interest is not in academics, and in the end he is destined to only live up to the teacher's expectations.

After Sun Liqun left, Li Bei knocked on the door of the office, and Professor Tong's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

"Hello teacher!" After Li Bei entered the door, he immediately greeted him honestly and respectfully.

"Oh, Li Bei is here! Come and sit down! Professor Tong's tone was as cordial as ever, revealing a smell of love.

"Thank you, teacher!" Li Bei stepped forward and sat down on the chair opposite Professor Tong's desk, the teacher opposite was smiling at him, with some paper documents and a pen holder on the desk, and a few goldfish swimming among the algae in a small fish tank.

In addition, there was an open journal in front of the professor, Li Bei glanced at it casually, and secretly thought that this could not be the "Economic Research" that Lao Sun said, right? It seems that the teacher didn't call me here to discipline me this time.

"Well, it's not a bad thing to call you over, so don't be suspicious!" Professor Tong shook his head a little amusefully when he saw Li Bei's watchful gaze, and said with a smile.

This student is good at everything, his personality, talent and ability are excellent, but he is not willing to do research, but likes to specialize in those things in business, of course, this cannot be said to be bad, after all, young people are always full of enthusiasm to get ahead, and concentrating on academic research is obviously far less attractive to the average person than to do business. But the good thing is that this little guy has done well in both areas so far, which makes him very satisfied.

"Teacher, did you call me here because of the paper?" Li Bei said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Professor Tong shook his head: "It's not all because of this, but Zhang Wei's old ghost is also quite knowledgeable and knows how to receive your paper in the magazine." Professor Tong smiled.

Li Bei also reacted when he heard the name Zhang Wei, isn't Zhang Wei the top economics bull in China and the dean of the School of Management of Peking University? As long as he is studying finance, it is difficult for this person to know or not, but is he also the current editor-in-chief of the journal Economic Research?

And listening to the teacher's tone, it seems that he is very familiar with Zhang Wei. But think about it, there are very few people who can be called economists in China, and there are very few people, and their teachers Professor Tong and Zhang Wei are both masters of this level, and it is naturally not incomprehensible that there is a friendship between the two, but I have never heard the teacher talk about it before.

"Well, it's another thing to call you over this time, and it's a good thing that your thesis can be in economic research, but it's just expected. As for the other thing, it is actually related to this incident. Professor Tong said.

"Teacher, what do you say?" Li Bei asked a little strangely.

"Do you know Li Yan, the CEO of Baidu?" Professor Tong asked with a smile.

"Li Yan?" Li Bei followed and read the name.
