Chapter 143: Stick to what you think is right
"Yanda is getting better and better, the year I left Yanda, there was no such thing, it seems that not only I have made progress personally, but Yanda has also made great progress in this year."
The Centennial Lecture Hall of Yan University was originally to be officially opened to the public in January 2000, but this time Zhou Xin returned as an outstanding alumnus, and Yan University deliberately advanced the opening time of the Centennial Lecture Hall.
The largest hall of the memorial lecture hall can seat more than 2,000 people in total, and such a large lecture hall is full.
If it weren't for the special security guards guarding the door, the students outside would even want to rush in.
It is not only the students of the headquarters of Yanjing who gather at Yanda University, but also the students of Yanjing who are all gathered at Yanjing University on the same day after knowing that Zhou Xin's first stop after returning to China was to hold a lecture at Yanda University.
As for how to distribute the tickets on the day of Zhou Xin's speech, the Department of Computer Science of Yan University specially organized a verification code lottery.
There are more than 2,000 tickets, and in addition to the tickets that are reserved, all other tickets are drawn by lottery.
Yan University students can apply for a verification code on the Weiminghu BBS forum of Yan University with their student number, and then verify it the day before the speech, and passing the verification means that you get a ticket.
On the day of the speech, students from the Department of Computer Science were at the door with laptops and checking the verification codes one by one.
When Zhou Xin held a lecture at Yan University, the Weiminghu BBS forum was full of discussions on this matter.
"Yan University is inevitably too flattering to Zhou Xin, and has also developed a lottery system specifically for Zhou Xin to return to China to give a speech at Yan University, and specially used a verification code."
As a representative invention of Zhou Xin, the captcha is almost equal to him.
Von Lewis is not famous enough, at least not in China.
If the verification code of Zhou Xin's previous life was invented by Jack Ma, it would definitely be known to passers-by.
"Not to mention that Zhou Xin's net worth is now close to 100 billion US dollars, of which at least half of the cash equivalent assets, even if Zhou Xin is only worth 10 billion US dollars, he will give him this treatment when he returns to Yanda.
I see that in Hurun's list of China's richest people, before Zhou Xin, the richest man was only 8 billion RMB, and Zhou Xin's net worth was close to 100 billion US dollars, close to one-tenth of our country's total GDP last year.
I think this is very normal behavior. ”
The sale of quora shares to Time Warner was about $70 billion, and the market value of Riot Games exceeded $20 billion after it went public, while Zhou Xinshou still had NewPay that was not listed.
NewPay was rated by Wall Street Business Journal as the most valuable of the unlisted Internet companies and the top of the unicorns.
Therefore, the major media in China valued Zhou Xin's net worth at 100 billion US dollars.
Hurun began to run the 100 richest list in 1999, and after Zhou Xin was born, Hurun and his assistant complained in private: "The appearance of Newman has made our statistics meaningless."
The position of the richest man on our list will not change for at least a decade. Newman is completely better than any rich man I know.
Our list needs to be changed as soon as possible to put Newman's name at the top of the list, otherwise the list will be a joke.
Also, I heard that Newman will be back at the end of the year, and we need to do everything we can to interview him. ”
From Hurun and his assistant back to the Weiminghu BBS forum, under the post just now, because it is rare for someone to express a different opinion from most people, the discussion is particularly hot.
"The landlord is obviously not satisfied with the lottery, if it is the previous ticket distribution method, by the counselor, the student union, all kinds of clubs to distribute tickets, this can be operated in the middle of a lot of space.
But through the way of the verification code, plus the night before Zhou Xin's speech started, he told everyone the news of winning the lottery.
It's hard to buy a spot from someone else. ”
"Yes, don't you just hold a lottery, I'm from the computer department, and the seniors in our department who are assigned to do this task regard this as an honor, and no one thinks it's to please Zhou Xin.
And this software is not too difficult, it can be done in a few days. ”
"Zhou Xin's charm is still great, the entire centennial hall is full of people, it feels like watching a monkey, I remember that Bill Gates didn't have this battle before."
"Heh, no matter how big Bill Gates's halo is and how famous he is, after all, he is an outsider, Zhou Xin is his own person, or our alumnus, of course everyone is more active."
"Monkey goes to Yanjing Zoo, you can go to see it whenever you want, Zhou Xin, you can see it at any time, I am Zhou Xin's classmate, I haven't seen him in reality for more than a year.
I didn't win the lottery this time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a chance to meet him in the future. ”
"I'm just curious, everyone is discussing so much, why doesn't anyone have the idea of replacing him?"
"The upstairs is joking, 100 billion, I don't eat or drink, I can't even earn a fraction from working in the Qin Dynasty to now."
"The gap is too big, maybe the freshmen don't know, when Zhou Xin transferred to Berkeley at the beginning of last year, he was just emerging on campus, and everyone thought he was very good, but no one would think that what he could do we couldn't do.
Later, after Zhou Xin sold his shares in Riot Games to Bill Gates for $200 million, when I listened to everyone talk about Zhou Xin in Yan University, everyone had only one evaluation: Godman.
As for now, he is no longer a god, but an immortal. ”
Not only is the BBS forum of Yan University discussing Zhou Xin's return to China and Zhou Xin's speech at Yan University, but also the campus BBS forums of other universities are also discussing this matter.
If Huaguo now has Weibo and Weibo hot search lists, this matter will occupy the top of the hot search list in the form of explosions, which is much more popular than Jack Ma's return to China in later generations.
If Accountant Jia can make Faraday Future surpass Tesla, and then return to China, it is estimated that it will have similar popularity.
Zhou Xin looked at the 2,000 young people in the audience on the stage, dressed with the marks of this era, and their demeanor also had the marks of this era.
Later, Zhou Xin, as the founder of Xinxin Technology, returned to Huaguo University of Science and Technology to give lectures to the younger students majoring in microelectronics.
Compared with 20 years later, the hope on the faces of the young people of 20 years ago is more enthusiastic and clear.
This may also be related to the fact that they are Yan University, and Zhou Xin's younger students are Hua University of Science and Technology.
However, in Zhou Xin's memory, 20 years later, the first choice for the students of Yan University after graduation are civil servants, public institutions and state-owned enterprises, and Zhou Xin estimates that they are no different from the younger students of China University of Science and Technology.
Zhou Xin continued: "In addition to the obvious changes in the Yanda building itself, I gave a speech, and there were many more people sitting in the audience than I did last time I gave a speech at Yanda.
The last time I gave a lecture at Yan University, I had just gotten a transfer permit from Berkeley, and then I held a lecture in a classroom on the edge of the triangle on the application for studying abroad. There were only 200 people for that talk.
This time, President Xu told me that this auditorium can seat a total of 2,167 people, and I think it is full now, and it seems that it is ten times more than the number of people who gave a lecture at Yan University last time.
The last lecture was the counselor who was in charge of connecting with me.
This time, I came to give you a lecture, and it was our President Xu who connected with me, and before coming to the Centennial Lecture Hall, President Xu also took me around the campus of Yan University.
I said, don't be so polite, I came to pick me up at the hotel and visit the campus, I am just a student of Yan University.
President Xu told me that he had only just come to Yan University from the Huaguo Academy of Sciences to be the president of Yan University, and he had only been here for less than a month, and he had been busy combing his work before, so he didn't have time to take a good look around the campus of Yan University.
I said okay, then let me take you around, you don't know me well, especially the road from the dormitory to the library in the School of Physics. ”
After Zhou Xin finished speaking, there was warm applause in the background, everyone is a young person, and young people like this kind of communication method that focuses on storytelling without distance.
"The theme of my speech here is 'Stick to what you think is right.'"
I'm sure that when I came to Yanda to talk about this, the people in my company advised me to change the theme, because they thought the topic was too small.
When Bill Gates came to give a speech at the University last year, the theme was 'Challenges and Opportunities in the Information Age'.
They think that the topic of my speech can be finished in one sentence, and as the world's best Internet product manager, it is better to talk about my understanding of the information age, and it can be regarded as a fight with Bill Gates.
The best Internet product manager in the world is not self-proclaimed, from the New York Times to Time Magazine to the Wall Street Journal, they are all vying to put this title on my head.
At first, I was a little embarrassed, but then an Ameriken magazine gave me the name of a Chinese prodigy, and I was stunned when I heard it.
Our colleagues explained to me that I was much younger than Yang Zhiyuan, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Bezos, and other people, and that they were young entrepreneurs, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that I used the word children.
I was extremely resistant to the name, so I thought about it, let's honestly call myself the best Internet product manager, which sounds better and is a little longer. ”
The Yan University students in the audience laughed again.
Because almost all the students of Yan University want to participate in the lecture activities of Zhou Xin on the spot, but the limited seats really can't satisfy everyone.
So there were staff members of Weiminghu BBS at the scene, and they simultaneously updated what Zhou Xin said in the top post of Weiminghu BBS.
"Is Zhou Xin so funny and humorous? I heard a friend who knew Zhou Xin in my microelectronics major say that when he was at Yan University, he was not only studying, but also learning. I thought he was the kind of person who was very serious. ”
"I've seen videos of Zhou Xin's product launch at American, and that's his style, and he likes to tell interesting things to get closer to the audience.
It's his usual style. ”
"I also resist the name of Huaguo prodigy, it's a bit funny."
"Does anyone know how to sneak in, and is there still security personnel watching the scene? I want to sneak in. ”
"Don't think about it, it's almost impossible to sneak in, even in the last twenty minutes, knowing that there's a question session at the end.
The security guards were afraid that someone would go in and cause trouble. ”
Zhou Xin waited for the laughter in the audience to stop and continued: "Our staff said to me: Boss, or your theme is Innovation, Huaguo, Future, from your point of view, talk about your understanding of the future of Huaguo.
I said don't, this topic is out of the outline, don't say what the future of Huaguo will be like, I can't even control my own future.
The future of China is in the hands of every young person here, and this is the future written by us together, and I have neither the power nor the ability to interpret it.
As for innovation, I've only done some innovation in Internet products, which is nothing. Huaguo is even less qualified to talk about such a grandiose topic.
I haven't even been to every province in China, so it's not appropriate to talk about this.
In the end, I decided to talk about this directly, and whoever has other opinions, he will speak on his own.
Back to the subject: stick to what you think is right.
It's not that big, and I think I can still grasp it.
At the same time, I also think that this topic is very meaningful to all of you here, because everyone is a student of Yan University.
The moment you enter Yan University, it is determined that you will have more choices than others, and you will face various difficulties and challenges, but also have more opportunities.
Every decision you make, whether to go to a foreign company or a state-owned enterprise after graduation, whether to take the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance examination, whether to stay in China or study abroad, will determine the trajectory of your life.
Everyone will hope that every decision they make at a fork in the road in life will be the right one.
But I need to tell you that there are always pros and cons to the decisions made at the fork in the road in life, and just as there are no absolutely wrong choices, there are no absolutely right choices in life. ”
