Chapter 2261: I still believe in the Internet
What is success? How much money does it have? How much power does it have? How high does it have? Jiang Xiaobai thinks that using these to measure success is certainly a concept of social identity, but it is not real success. True success is first of all, being able to control oneself.
Control your greed, control your selfish desires, control your bad habits, cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and pacify the world.
Why is self-cultivation ranked first? Because you can’t even control yourself, and you will talk big about how others are doing? How can you succeed?
Even success is temporary and will soon disappear.
Wang Shi was such a person, always able to keep a clear mind, which was one of the reasons why he was able to survive from the 1980s and go to future generations.
There is no free lunch in the world. Children understand this principle, but when many things happen to them, many people can't control their greed.
Many people are deceived because they cannot control their greed and suffer great losses. There are a lot of similar words, but how many people can truly practice their own sanity in the face of desire.
What happens by chance is just luck. When the situation changes, everyone will be seen clearly and return to their original position.
In the 1980s and 1990s, there were many entrepreneurs who made their fortune and many people who were famous, but the times created heroes, just like Mou Zhong, an absolute sensational figure, but he could not control himself.
Of course, people are also changing. Sometimes people may be able to control themselves when they are low, because they face fewer temptations, but as they go higher and higher, they will face more and more temptations.
This is inevitable.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Many people came to toast. Dongfang will gather every year. Everyone will not talk about carnival every night, but drinking is inevitable, and so many colleagues communicate.
It was also very pleasant to talk. I had a few drinks when I met my close friends, including Jiang Xiaobai's talk, and I talked with Director Lu and the Liu brothers, from the current global economic situation to the domestic economic situation, from the prospects of a certain industry to a certain product, from work to life.
Basically, it can be said that you can talk about everything, there is nothing that cannot be said, and there is nothing taboo.
Of course, even in the Oriental Society, there are other things in close relationships, and it is impossible to say that everyone has the same good relationship.
But relatively speaking, everyone’s relationships should be more sincere, so they can have a free conversation.
It was very late that Jiang Xiaobai returned to the room to rest.
I was speechless all night, and the next day was January 3, which was the third day of the Oriental Society.
Today is a problem in the Internet industry. In fact, many people present don’t understand this industry. Everyone knows the Internet and everyone knows the computer.
But it’s limited to knowing these two things. As for other things, many people need to understand them. Even if they know them, they only have only a few understandings and don’t understand what they are.
It's still Jiang Xiaobai as the opening.
"The Internet industry first appeared in China in 1995. Many people said that that year was the first year of the domestic Internet. When I went to Beijing that year, I saw a huge billboard in Zhongguan Village and left a deep impression on me.
It says how far this place is from the Information Expressway - 1,500 meters north."
Many people in the capital also have an impression of this billboard and can't help but smile.
"I was very curious at that time. I studied in Beijing for four years and was very familiar with Beijing. I didn't come to Zhongguan Village once or twice. I asked the traffic police, where is this information road?"
There were more people laughing in the conference room. In fact, it was not only Jiang Xiaobai, but many people regarded this billboard as a signpost, which also caused trouble to the traffic at that time.
But this incident also marks the entry of the Internet era in China, at least the Internet thing is.
"Later I went to know about it. That year, Haiyingwei was founded, and that year, the listing of Citigroup, created a market value of US$840 million. I was officially involved in the Internet. It was also that year that I met Teacher Ma and learned about Huangle.com. But three years have passed since 1995 to the present.
The Internet seems to have been silent. Until now, there are no Internet companies in China. At least there is no company that can create a market value of 800 million US dollars like Citigroup, and there is not even a listed company."
Jiang Xiaobai said, Teacher Ma's face was also a little dark. Could it be that Jiang Xiaobai is not optimistic about the Internet now?
Indeed, it is possible to not be optimistic. After all, three years have passed now, and the famous Haiyingwei has become lonely and his yellow leaves are half dead.
But when Jiang Xiaobai said this, he continued to say, "But I still believe in the Internet. I think the word "Information Expressway" is very tactful. Information air routes cannot be accurately described, because it is something that can be connected to each other from the other end of the ocean to this end.
I think this Internet is something that is cross-age.”
Jiang Xiaobai said, Teacher Ma's eyes lit up in an instant, and Guo Fansen was the same, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Xiaobai stretched out his finger and pointed at Teacher Ma: "That year, Teacher Ma stood in front of me and said that Bill said that Internat would change all aspects of humanity. Of course, I know that this is fake. It was used by Teacher Ma to fool people. This is what he said."
"Hahaha." A burst of hearty laughter suddenly broke out in the conference room, and even Teacher Ma himself laughed, remembering the time when he used this sentence to fool people.
"But today I said that the Internet will change all aspects of human life. Teacher Ma can say this to others in the future, and I, Jiang Xiaobai, said this."
Jiang Xiaobai said firmly, full of unparalleled domineeringness.
Teacher Ma nodded repeatedly. This can be found because many people in China don’t know who Bill is, but no matter whether it is in the shopping mall or in many ordinary people, there is no one who doesn’t know Jiang Xiaobai.
It turns out that the reason he talked about Bill was because Bill was far away in a foreign country and didn't know what he said, and many people couldn't verify with Bill.
But it would be bad if Jiang Xiaobai knew about it. Now that Jiang Xiaobai said that, he can do business openly under the banner of Jiang Xiaobai in the future.
