588 [Toolman Song Weiyang]
In another time and space, some people say that web2.0 is a complete hype, a shocking scam by online researchers who pursue novelties, online entrepreneurs who are eager to get rich and Wall Street venture capitalists.
Regardless of whether this statement is sensational or not, it does reflect some problems in the web2.0 craze.
At that time, the haze brought by the Internet winter was still shrouded in Silicon Valley and could not be dissipated for a long time. A large number of Internet practitioners didn’t know where to go. Wall Street’s venture capital was in a pit, and they were eager to get rid of the trap. When an online research expert proposed the concept of web2.0, the first two immediately felt like they had a treasure and began to join forces to hype wildly.
Regardless of whether the concept of web2.0 is correct or not, it must be correct; regardless of whether web2.0 is useful or not, it must be useful!
In the minds of these people, web2.0 is first a slogan and a flag. Just like the "anti-Qing and restoring Ming" of the Heaven and Earth Society, whether you believe it or not, you must keep it on your lips, and it will evolve into an irreversible golden rule.
Extreme free will and personal heroism have always been the unique temperament of Silicon Valley. People worship Bill Gates, Jobs, and Jerry Yang, regard them as tech entrepreneurship heroes, claiming that personal power and wisdom can change the world. But in history, when the concept of web2.0 was proposed, these Silicon Valley elites instantly became collectivists and advocates of digital maoists - because the core of web2.0 is that everyone participates, everyone creates, and believes in the wisdom power of the collective.
The butt determines the head!
The first response to web2.0 is Wall Street investors. They are crazy about promoting this concept, making web2.0 popular in a short period of time. Not only that, they also promote while taking action and spending money on web2.0 websites. The Nasdaq Index has flourished again after the Internet winter.
At that time, the first wave of Internet bubbles had just passed two or three years, and it was speculated to create the second wave of Internet bubbles. Google's stock price was pushed to a peak of US$600, and Facebook, which was founded shortly after it was valued at US$15 billion.
Yahoo has invested in right media for only half a year, and the company has almost no change, and its valuation suddenly soared by US$650 million. Moreover, the reason for the appreciation is very nonsense. It is actually Microsoft's acquisition of another unrelated company at a high price. In order to keep up with Microsoft's pace, Yahoo increased the acquisition price of right media by US$650 million.
Song Weiyang proposed the concept of web2.0 at the first China Internet Conference. Related practitioners see opportunities, while investors see mountains of money!
Before the new issue of "Red Herring" magazine was released, venture capitalists in the United States had already learned the news that articles about web2.0 appeared in several newspapers at the same time. Then, Internet research experts who collected or confiscated money began to discuss web2.0 seriously. The Wall Street Journal even claimed that the Internet was about to attract a new era.
The Nasdaq Index, which only stopped falling in September, suddenly rose sharply in November under the joint speculation of these people. Many Internet stocks were all green (green means rising), and related technology stocks were also green. The traces of human operations behind them should not be too obvious!
In order to make the concept of web2.0 deeply rooted in people's hearts and to make web2.0 more convincing, the Americans praised Song Weiyang to the sky.
Various reports about Song Weiyang in mainland China, even false news on Hong Kong City, as well as chicken soup stories in "Readers" and "Yilin" have been collected and compiled and summarized by American media. An oriental business hero known to the American people was born, and even the degree of adding fuel to the fire is even more outrageous than in Hong Kong City.
In American newspapers, Song Shumin was the target of persecution and used the Chinese government to hack it. Under huge political and economic pressure, Song Weiyang took pocket money at the age of 17 and used the summer vacation to go to the SAR to seize his first pot of gold in a nearly fraudulent manner. Then he remained at the top of the richest people in mainland China in less than 10 years.
These reports focus specifically on the stock market, saying that Song Weiyang made a profit of hundreds of times in half a year when he invested in stocks during his university years. He used this money to go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and manipulated Lenovo's stock price in less than 20 years old. Lenovo is the largest technology company in China. This money was used to establish Taurus Capital, and during the Asian financial crisis, it defeated international speculators led by Soros in one fell swoop and made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.
It can be said that he is extremely exaggerated. Soros became a clown in these news and became a villain that highlights Song Weiyang's awesomeness. It doesn't matter if he knows whether he believes it or not, he can fool ordinary people. Anyway, the proposer of the concept of web2.0 must be so awesome!
Wikipedia has become popular in the United States this year, and those American newspapers claim that Song Weiyang is the pioneer of online encyclopedia. Before Wikipedia was founded, Song Weiyang's Sogou Search had already created the world's largest Chinese encyclopedia website, and Wikipedia is just a clumsy imitator.
Even the book "The Future of China" several years ago was dug out by American editors, so Song Weiyang became a prophet again: predicting the Asian financial crisis, predicting the bankruptcy of South Korea's Daewoo, and predicting that "Made in China" would prosper...
In addition, the Wall Street Journal also "exclusively disclosed" the inside story of the Taurus Club, saying that this organization is the Skeleton and Bones Club of China, and was founded by Song Weiyang during his college years. The Taurus Club currently has only more than ten members, but on the list of rich people in mainland China, four members ranked in the top ten, three members were between 11 and 50, three members were between 50 and 100, and the rest were all within 150.
Song Weiyang also founded China's first private business school. He held an illegal business training class when he was committing fraud. More than 6% of the students became millionaires within a few years, and more than 30% of the students became millionaires. Anyway, he just ignored the facts and just brag about j8.
For such a great person, can the web2.0 concept he proposed is still fake?
The Wall Street Journal even published a sentence: "This young richest man from the Far East gave the Nasdaq 100 points a speech at the China Internet Conference."
It’s obviously because of you capitalists who are speculating on it!
Fortune magazine couldn't even wait to send a reporter to interview Song Weiyang. In an issue in December, Song Weiyang became the cover character, and even the cover photo was temporarily hand-painted. The cover introduction text was "Bill Gates of China". This article details the three major companies in which Song Weiyang serves as chairman: "Xifeng Food and Beverage Co., Ltd. has become the industry overlord of the Chinese market, and its stock has just been listed as the "Hang Seng Index" by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Coca-Cola and Pepsi, which have failed in front of the young richest man, have very much Coke has occupied 40% of the Chinese Coke market. The Jianlibao he acquired last year also set off a craze for functional beverages in China this year, and the market share has surpassed Red Bull by 28 percentage points..."
There are also various praises about Shenzhou Technology, saying that this company has monopolized China's PSS phones, and the annual net profit of a single business is as high as US$500 million (and is nonsense). There is also the already popular U disk, which is also the company that owns patents. Every American consumer is contributing patent fees to Shenzhou Technology for purchasing U disk. In the field of personal computers, Shenzhou Computer has become China's second largest computer manufacturer (deliberately ignoring Lenovo's market share of more than 16% and more than 65% of the domestic computer market share). The article also said that Shenzhou Mobile is already the first mobile phone brand in China, which is not random, but ignores the terrifying market share of Nokia and Motorola mobile phones.
As for Taurus Capital, due to the high confidentiality of internal information, Fortune magazine is completely blinded and even speculated that Taurus Capital's total assets have reached 5 billion US dollars.
At the end of the article, Fortune magazine wrote: "It is unbelievable that the richest man in China is only 27 years old three months old. He is not a child of an official, he has no government background, and even his identity as a second-generation rich man will be discounted because his family is in debt of tens of millions of yuan when he started his business. In China, young people have regarded him as an inspirational idol and the spiritual leader of countless young entrepreneurs. Two consecutive years of Chinese questionnaires have shown that Song Weiyang is the most influential young man, and Bill Gates can only
The second place in the district. This year, Song Weiyang turned his attention to the online game industry again. He launched an online game called "Legend". The number of registered players is almost equivalent to the number of Chinese netizens. The monthly game point card revenue is as high as 1 million US dollars... The young richest man is the first Chinese Internet investment person and has invested in nearly half of China's large network companies. After proposing the concept of web2.0, he said that he will continue to increase investment, and the Internet is about to enter a new era."
Many large American media have been pursuing Song Weiyang for a month, and finally made Song Weiyang a household name. Many Americans can't tell the difference between Song Weiyang's appearance, but they remember his name firmly. After learning that he is a shareholder of Sohu and NetEase, Sohu and NetEase's stock prices suddenly rose sharply.
A business legend, the young richest man under 27 years old, China's Bill Gates, the man who defeated Soros head-on, the unveiler of the Internet web2.0 era, and a speech made the Nasdaq index rise by 100 points... After a lot of hot speculation, many young Americans regard Song Weiyang as an idol, and some even pretend to be "Song" tattooed on their bodies. As for exoticism, the whole world likes this tone. There are many Americans tattooing Chinese characters on their bodies, and they can't even tell the difference between Japanese benheragana, Katakana and Chinese characters.
Unfortunately, American media published "song", and the tattoo master is also half-baked. Most of these Song Weiyang fans came out of the tattoo shop and were tattooed with the word "send".
Song Weiyang was hyped in the United States, and the concept of web2.0 he proposed is naturally well known. In other words, the hype between Song Weiyang and web2.0 promotes each other, and the entire Silicon Valley also regards Song Weiyang and web2.0 as the standard. Even if those Internet companies ceo and those arrogant Internet entrepreneurs sneer at Song Weiyang, they will still say: "China Song is a genius, he has real Internet thinking, and web2.0 is an unstoppable wave of the future."
The entire Silicon Valley and the United States are discussing web2.0. The web2.0 boom broke out early under the influence of Song Weiyang. Amacao and Gou said that they are web2.0 websites. The Nasdaq index, which once fell from more than 5,000 points to more than 1,000 points, has grown wildly in the next six months, and has once again exceeded the 2,500 point mark after a year. During this period, there have been news that web2.0 websites have received tens of millions of dollars in financing. A new round of Internet wealth myths stimulate ordinary people to spend money on the stock market.
From beginning to end, Song Weiyang was used as a tool for publicity and hype, and web2.0 is only a banner and slogan to a greater extent.
