Chapter 011: A Small Goal

"Convinced, Ah Yao, you are so showy, you mouth, I hope you are not a giant of words, a dwarf of action. ”

"Sister, rest assured, I'm definitely not a mouth cannon king, the actual combat bronze mallet, the direction is correct, the rest is execution, I have a motto, that is, 10,000 years is too long, seize the day. I only came to the school yesterday to report, and I came to see you today, and then the company has not registered and valued hundreds of millions of dollars, and from this moment on, the boat carrying our dreams will officially set sail. Okay, let's not talk about it, sister, let's do this glass of wine, let's walk the road ahead, and then I really have to go to class, I'm late for the first class, and I'll blush if it's too prominent. ”

"Okay, Yandu's company, you register it quickly, I'll go back and register the offshore company, and then buy Yahoo shares, by the way, it's a senior sister of mine who helps me manage my finances, Harvard Business School, well, she looks very beautiful, and her mouth is also very powerful, I'll send her to you when I go back, let you PK, it must be very exciting." ”

"Okay, sister, my only requirement for my subordinates is execution, dumb is the best, strong and resistant. See you later, sister, I have to go to class. The $10 million must arrive as soon as possible, and I have a lot of things waiting for money. Finally, I would like to express my highest respect to Sister Li, your investment can save me a lot of detours, I am sincerely grateful to you, you will always be my Sister Li!"

"Don't worry, I'll call the money when I go back, and we'll meet again tomorrow and initialize the contract." I will also help you get Melissa's girl, she is very capable, I hope that with her help, your career can develop faster, so that my sister can achieve financial freedom as soon as possible. Needless to say, I invest because I am optimistic about you, and if you want to repay me, you just don't let down my trust in you. ”

"That's a must!"

After the two of them said goodbye, Cang Yaozu and Ding Hao slowly walked back. Ding Hao also admired Cang Yaozu very much, he fooled half of his aunt's assets so easily, what kind of mouth is this, it's terrible, he heard it with his own ears, and saw with his own eyes how his aunt retreated step by step from 60% of the shares of 1 million US dollars to 10 million US dollars and only won 10% of the shares.

Cang Yaozu's company hasn't been established yet, and it's worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which is crazy, but did my aunt do something wrong? It doesn't seem to be, Cang Yaozu's few ideas for my aunt are very reliable, not to mention the always bold aunt, even if you change to yourself, you have to fight, in case the bicycle becomes a motorcycle. If you really give up this opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

Cang Yaozu drank a little too much again, this time no one persuaded him to drink, but he was too excited, and he successfully got the first pot of gold of 10 million US dollars, but only paid 10% of the shares, so he drank a little more. Sister Li is a good person, and she is definitely her own Bole. It's something to celebrate. Such a celebratory thing can only be vented by drinking alcohol. Hopefully it won't be discovered by the counselor for a while.

Cang Yaozu was unexpectedly discovered by the counselor that he had drunk too much, and the counselor didn't say anything, just called Cang Yaozu to the podium and hung it up. After the whole class had finished introducing themselves, the counselor called Cang Yaozu over and asked him to give an impromptu speech about why he had drunk so much, so that he could show off his foreign appearance and let the students take warning.

Cang Yaozu stood on the podium and looked at his classmates, it was a group of young children, well, we had to stimulate them well, maybe there would be a few powerful people in the future.

"Hello children's shoes, I'm Cang Yaozu, well, one of your drunken classmates. Although I'm drunk, I won't spit fragrant in my mouth, and I'm going to feed you a bowl of chicken soup. Today is the second day of my university registration, and I can't wait to go out for a drink, because I feel that time is short, I have to hurry it, and if I don't hurry up today, then I may miss the best tomorrow.

I sat on the train to Yandu, and I set a small goal for myself, that is, to earn him 100 million. You may think this is too big a goal. There's logic to this. I set a small goal of 100 million, which may be difficult to achieve, but I may complete the goal of 10 million, but if I set a goal of 10 million, it will also be difficult to achieve, and in the end I may only be able to complete the goal of 1 million. Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you really don't know how good you are. Of course, you have to do what you can, and don't push yourself to despair.

Just kidding, I just said that time was tight, I set myself a small goal, and then I had to push myself. So the day after I came to college, I went out for a drink. Yes, I drank, because of my small goal, so I went to pull investment, although my company has not yet been established, but I still go to pull investment, time waits for no one. I drank a lot of alcohol today, but I also used 10% of the company's shares today in exchange for an investment of $10 million, that is, my company has not yet been established, and the valuation is hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

There was a commotion in the audience, many students thought that Cang Yaozu was going crazy with alcohol, there was no such good thing in his dreams, he really dared to brag, Lao Tzu didn't dare to be so arrogant in his dreams, and he was valued at $100 million, why didn't you say that the valuation was $10 billion?

Cang Yaozu took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, drank a few sips, and then continued: "Many students may think, but if there is a plate of peanuts, they will not get drunk like this. I regret to tell you that this is true, the person who invested is Ding Hao's aunt who came back to visit relatives in Citigroup, and she will return to Citigroup tomorrow, so I only went to meet her today. Of course, she didn't invest in me to see Ding Hao's face, although Haozi is good-looking, it can be said that he is beautiful in the prosperous age, but his face is really not so big.

The reason why his aunt is willing to invest half of her net worth in me is mainly for two reasons, one is that she recognizes me as a person and thinks that I can bring a good return to her investment, and the other is that I have made a promise of return to her. This promise can be regarded as a VAM agreement, and I promised that after 5 years, I would buy back the 10% stake for $100 million. This VAM agreement is actually very harsh, if I don't have so much money at that time, then I will be in debt of 100 million US dollars, and I will be a big loser, a negative debt.

When the time comes, I may pay her everything, whether it is a company, shares, investments, cash, real estate, it may not be mine, it is very risky, but I have to make such a promise. Because I don't have the first pot of gold, I'm not a rich second generation, I don't have any capital.

With that $10 million VC fund, I can do a lot of things, and I can seize today and have tomorrow. I want to push myself, I want to see how good I can be. ”

Cang Yaozu stopped and drank again, and also asked the students to digest the information he just said, before he continued: "I'll talk about the next topic, why do I feel that time is pressing.

As you know, opportunity is the determining factor for success. I'll give you an example, a lot of the rich people in Citi were born in the middle of the 19th century, and if you were born a few years later, or a few years earlier, no matter how hard you tried, you wouldn't be rich. Do you know what year Bill Gates was born? The answer is 1955. Do you know what year Steve Jobs was born? The answer is 1955. The same answer applies to a large number of super successful people in the PC era.

Is it because there was some paranormal event in 1955? Not really. The reason is simple, 1975 was the starting point of the PC era, if you were born a few years earlier, when the PC era came, you were already working in other fields, and if you hesitated, you would miss the opportunity to be a pioneer of the PC era. If you're a few years late, and by the time you start working, the PC-led IT wave has already happened, sorry, you're late.

It doesn't matter if you're smarter than Bill Gates, or if you love to work overtime more than Bill Gates, as long as you're late or early, you can't be Bill Gates. It has nothing to do with how hard you work. The window of opportunity is narrow, and when it comes, and you are not ready, then, sorry, you can only wait for the next opportunity to come.

Of course, most successful people are reluctant to admit that the determinants of their success are chance and luck, and that they are fortuitous factors beyond their control. They would rather believe and want others to believe that all this is the result of their own hard work. So we need a pair of discerning eyes to see through the phenomenon to see the essence.

As the argument that it is difficult for a noble son to come out of a poor family has become hot, class solidification seems to have become a curse, haunting the head of every 'intellectual' person. The Matthew effect will be more obvious, the upward channel will be closed, education will be a fight, and the class bottleneck will not be broken...

All of this is real, and people with capital are naturally more likely to succeed, but God will not close the door, and even if the door is closed, there may still be windows. In 1996, the window of opportunity was approaching again, and this time the name of the opportunity was the Internet era.

Now, on the other side of the blue star, a group of people have emerged in Citigroup who have seized this opportunity, such as Yang Zhiyuan of Yahoo, such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon, etc., and there will be more in the future. And the same is true of China, our country will also appear in the Internet era of the tide, and in the Internet industry, the gap between us and the West is not so big, then it is possible to achieve overtaking in this industry, and it is also likely to appear the richest man in China, and even the birth of the world's super-rich, the next few decades will be surging, and the city will change the banner of the king.

So I say that our generation is fortunate and unfortunate, fortunate that we are in the midst of opportunity and change, and we are likely to make a difference. Unfortunately, the opportunity seems to have come a little early, and we are not ready yet, whether it is intellectually or intellectually, whether it is in terms of contacts or experience. But opportunities will not wait for anyone, after the emergence of Yahoo and Amazon, Huaxia will soon appear their replica company, innovation is insufficient, plagiarism will not be?

Even if it is plagiarism, even if it fails, it is actually technical, and it will be successful, of course, you must go out of your own way, Qi Baishi said, those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die.

This is also true in the Internet industry. Microsoft's Bill Gates decisively dropped out of school when the opportunity came, I won't do this, but I can't watch this huge opportunity slip away in front of me, so I want to choke the throat of fate, I want to seize the opportunity to be a trendsetter in the Internet era, I want to become the richest man in China or even the richest man in the world.

I've accomplished one of my small goals, not something I earned, but an investment I pulled, and I'll be moving on to the next step soon. Finally, I make an analogy, I call the window of opportunity the tuyere, so I give you a sentence, standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly.

My second goal is that I want to pursue a girl in our college, maybe a school girl, I want to sing a song at the orientation party, called "The Most Beautiful", I hope everyone can support me, report it to me, my speech is over, thank you. ”

Cang Yaozu's impromptu speech at the class meeting really shocked the counselor and the students, or the small goal he had almost achieved shocked the counselor.

Cang Yaozu took the opportunity to tell the counselor that he wanted to deal with the establishment of the company, so that he could smoothly receive this overseas venture capital, which can be said to be the first overseas venture capital in Huaxia. You must know that this is a full year earlier than Zhang Chaoyang and Sitong Lifang, who can only get Citigroup venture capital next year. Cang Yaozu directly told the counselor that he needed to take a leave of absence and could not participate in military training.

The counselor agreed in a daze, and in this way, Cang Yaozu successfully avoided the drudgery of military training.
