Chapter 235: A fluke, not a fluke
Feng Yiping stood behind the scenes of various steel bars and pipelines, hand-written in his pocket, listening leisurely as the host in front of him was talking about the introduction, "When a person has too many titles, it is actually a difficult thing to introduce. I encountered such a difficult thing today."
"In the end, in order to be unique, I have to introduce him in the way that everyone often introduces him, and use numbers. However, the numbers this time are not how young he is or how great he is, etc., etc., etc.,"
"The set of numbers I want to introduce today comes from Baidu's statistics," the host said this and smiled. "Of course, for well-known reasons, I'm not sure whether Baidu will be so happy to provide its relevant data in the future."
"This must have charged a lot of advertising fees," Feng Yiping said to Fang Yingzhi with a smile.
The girl from the TV station who stood with them and brought her headsets did not refute and laughed.
Feng Yiping is the major shareholder of Google. After Google enters the country in the future, his relationship with Baidu will not be as good as it is now.
"As of the end of last month, 78 million domestic users have searched him on the Internet for a total of 12783,528 times, which is 25 times the total number of searches for the other 99 rich people on the Rich List,"
"This may not be intuitive enough. Let's compare the data. Hong Kong star Andy Lau - Liu Tianwang seems to have a friendship with him. By the end of last month, the number of searches was more than 25 million times. His data was half of Liu Tianwang,"
"As of the end of last month, Baidu's total searches were close to 10 billion times, which means that in the average of less than 1,000 searches, there was one search about him, which shows his popularity,"
Feng Yiping can now be 100% sure that Baidu must have paid a considerable advertising fee this time.
"I believe everyone already knows who he is. Let us welcome Feng Yiping with warm applause."
Fang Yingzhi followed the staff to the side and made a cheering gesture to Feng Yiping. Feng Yiping nodded. Unfortunately, how great would it be if Zhang Yan or his two mothers stood there holding the child and cheering for him?
He nodded to Fang Yingzhi, walked out of the sliding setting wall with a smile, "Welcome," the host came up with a smile.
He was still in a suit and tie, but at this time he was much younger than what he saw later.
"Thank you, hello everyone," Feng Yiping quickly added, "Hello, teachers," seeing the few people sitting in the front row, Feng Yiping quickly added, "Hello, teachers,"
In the front row, there were several professors from the school.
This should be the one with the best attitude among the guests in the conversation, and of course, the youngest one, who looks like a student.
He was dressed like a student, with a white shirt with camel sweater and khaki pants, which was really academic.
What the host asked at the beginning was also related to the school.
"Yiping, we all know that you started your business in high school and developed very well, so why do you have to persist in completing college?"
"I believe you have also heard that there is a popular saying that some people succeed in starting a business because they drop out of school in the middle of college, such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, etc. Many people who have been honest in college may not necessarily give them a chance to work later."
"Since you've been quite successful before you go to college, why do you still have to go to college? We all know that in order to get into a good university, high school life is not easy,"
"Because they are geniuses, I'm not," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"You said you are not a genius, and I guess the audience present would not agree," the host smiled.
"Genius is like beauties, and they are also classified," said Feng Yiping.
His metaphor is quite novel, "Then what kind of beauty do you think you are?" The host made a fuss.
"The girl next door?" Feng Yiping didn't mind making everyone smile.
"I want to say that everyone's success is actually unreplicable. We only see the two commonalities of those few college dropouts and entrepreneurial success. We simply list this as a causal relationship, which is really not rigorous."
"Entrepreneurship is not an easy task anywhere. We know that there are some of them who have successfully dropped out of school and started their own businesses, but I believe that the same people who choose to drop out of school and start their own businesses like them, but fail to succeed are at least a hundred times more than them."
"It is very beneficial for people like me to start a business and receive a complete higher education. And one thing is certain. Although they choose to drop out of school and start a business, dropping out does not mean not studying,"
"Yes, but they may learn selectively with clear goals, which will make them more efficient in learning," the host affirmed his statement.
"What I want to ask is that you have achieved some success in your career and your high school study is very hard, so you have never waver?"
"When I was in junior high school, to be precise, during the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school, I sneaked into the University of Finance and Economics in our provincial capital and got the textbooks of "Monetary Finance" and "Investment". I was very happy at that time. Haha, I thought I could learn by myself immediately and seize the opportunity to practice it a few more times."
"Who knew that it would be stumped when I opened the book. It was both a high-level mathematics and a lot of professional English terms. I studied by myself, not only was it inefficient, but it was also possible to recite the scriptures incorrectly. So I felt that I should learn systematically under the guidance of the teacher, so that the effect would be better."
"When you were in junior high school, you read the university's professional textbooks?" the host asked.
“Yes, because I’m interested in this,”
"What happened later, did you stop reading if you couldn't understand it?"
"The one who lends the book to me is now an executive in our group. He also gave me his notes. I bought some reference books myself, and if I don't understand, I wrote to him for advice. In the second year of junior high school, the two books were considered to be finished. Of course, I didn't know much,"
"Isn't this a genius? You can think so far and work so hard in junior high school. Let us applaud Yiping's efforts."
"Sure enough, no one's success is lucky. Your startup capital is also related to this?"
This can also be regarded as giving Feng Yiping a chance to tell him the source of his first pot of gold in person, thus eliminating the suspicion of "original sin" that many people are talking about.
"Yes, when I was in high school, I had a lot of extra money that my parents didn't know about, and then I secretly practiced some of the things I learned in the financial market. Thanks to the general environment back then, I was lucky enough to accumulate some funds, which is the start-up capital for my development,"
"It's really not easy to be rich and have a good career, and it's really not easy to stay in high school," the host praised him again.
"I made money through learning, so I was more interested in learning," Feng Yiping said his reasons bluntly.
"You can make so much money by self-study. If a teacher learns more professional knowledge, wouldn't he make more money? That's what you think?"
"That's how I think," Feng Yiping smiled. "And there was another consideration when he insisted on high school. My parents, they were very traditional. Like many parents, they had the idea of hope to be successful. To get into a good university, it would definitely make them look bright and happy. Even for this purpose, it is worth my high school well."
The audience who had already started a family were applauding. Alas, why are other people's children so sensible?
"I heard that in high school, in addition to studying and starting a business, you also did another very important thing, writing books,"
"Yes, I wrote a novel and repeated some of my thoughts on business."
The host picked up two books, "This is the result of Yiping writing books in a nervous high school. This novel, on-site and in front of the TV, should be very familiar with many viewers. It has sales on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, with a total of nearly 2 million copies sold,"
"This book is not only in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, but many people around the world know and are familiar with it. I have read it more than once. This is the Blue Ocean Strategy."
"When I wrote these two books, did I expect the results later?"
"No," Feng Yiping shook his head, "Writing novels was purely for money at the time. I was lucky enough to publish some works in junior high school. There was a certain response. The royalties I received could be said to have greatly improved my family and my own life. So when I needed money, I habitually thought about this,"
"The Blue Ocean Strategy was not actually sublimated into a theory at that time. I just kept thinking about how to successfully start a business with my weak strength at that time. Later, it was gradually formed in practice."
"I heard that if it weren't for your own magazine, you didn't even think about publishing it?"
"Actually, after publishing it in a magazine, I never thought about putting it together and publishing it. There are many reasons why it was published in a magazine. One is that I have found something by myself. Young people like to show off. They just happened to have a platform and put it on,"
"The second thing is that it is mainly because the magazine was just founded at that time and it was difficult to make an appointment, so I thought about doing it myself, having enough food and clothing, and saving some costs," Feng Yiping smiled.
"I didn't expect that this will make your cutting-edge magazine to a certain extent."
"Lucky, it's really a lucky one," said Feng Yiping. "How could I expect such a high response later?"
It would be strange if I didn’t expect it! At that time, those were arranged one by one.
"So, I heard that when Harvard Business School Press took the initiative to come to you, you weren't happy?"
"I was a little unhappy at the time. When I saw that the thing I was thinking about seemed quite popular and could drive the sales of magazines. Naturally, I was unwilling to publish them all immediately. Wouldn't there be fewer people who bought my magazines?"
"I have to explain to you what kind of publishing house is Harbin Publishing House," the host pointed to the line of words on the book and said, "This is the most well-known and authoritative commercial book publishing house in the world. It publishes no more than 50 commercial books a year. It has very high requirements and is very strict in reviewing. It is the publishing house that many experts around the world dream of,"
"There are only a few of the 50 books that are recommended. Before that, no Chinese scholars have been attracted by him. Yiping's book can be said to have helped us break a record, and it is their annual key project,"
"To be honest, this thing I have figured out is so popular. I never expected it in my dreams. It was really a lucky thing."
"Yiping, you are so humble. You say that all the achievements you have made now are lucky, but we have not been lucky at all from your experience over the years. Come on, let's listen to what the good teacher of Yiping University and President Zhao of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management said,"
"I think that Yiping has the current results, there is indeed a lucky element," said Dean Zhao, holding the microphone. "He was lucky to be born in such a good era, which is his biggest luck,"
"Apart from that, everything is not lucky, and it is inseparable from his efforts."
"The first time I came into contact with him was related to his magazine mentioned by the host. We all know that when his magazine was published, in a general sense, he was already a successful person and a rich man at that time."
“But, in order to make his magazine successful, he was like an ordinary salesman, an office, and an office to promote his magazine to our school teachers,” he said.
"At that time, in order to sell his magazine to me, I waited for at least three days outside the office building on a snowy day,"
"And, during that period, he used his spare time to go to all the well-known universities in the capital and personally promoted it. Which rich man could do this?"
Feng Yiping is actually not as good as the dean thought. The reason why he did this is because his recommendation is the best.
"The data the host said at the opening show that he is very popular. Many people should have read the reports about him, and there are many articles reporting on his work and rest. I originally considered myself a model worker, but compared with him, it was really a big difference. His peers were even worse than him. They were talented, so easy to learn, and worked so hard. Therefore, I don't think he has the success today at all."
"Thank you for your praise," Feng Yiping understood that the dean said so, and he was still responding to the discussions that were unfavorable to Feng Yiping a few days ago.
The host also thought of this, "Yiping, I heard that you have invested more than one billion yuan in your hometown. The starting point is not to make money, but to change the backward appearance of your hometown and let everyone live a short life?"
"Because everyone knows that, based on the conditions of your hometown, investing there is really not a wise choice,"
"I am not as noble as you said. Since it is a commercial investment, there are naturally profit-related demands, otherwise such things will not last long."
"My hometown is not ideal, but there are advantages there, low land prices, and the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of all employees are the strongest, which I can't encounter in other places,"
Feng Yiping didn't want to label himself as a silly sweet person. Even so, he shouldn't say it by himself.
"I don't hide it. It's really a consideration for taking care of my hometown, but I think there is nothing to say about this. Just like a child wants to support his parents, isn't it natural to consider his hometown when he has the ability?"
There was applause again below.
"Although Yiping always says that all his achievements and achievements are all due to luck, we will understand from his junior high school career that this is definitely not a lucky one. All his success today is definitely not a lucky one. It is definitely achieved through his own hard work,"
The host gives a phased summary. (To be continued.)
