"Everyone likes to call Inter the Internet, but I prefer to call it the Internet. The most direct function is to build an invisible communication platform.
In the form of binary code, any valuable or worthless information can be interacted and communicated. It is equivalent to expanding the platform and scope of human information exchange.
What does the Internet mean to us?
There are many opinions now. Some people think that the Internet is a way of thinking, while others think that it is a technology.
However, I think that the Internet is not just a way of thinking or technology, it is a whole new era.
Whether we are aware of its existence or not, the Internet era is changing the way we think, the way we interact with others, and the way we create value.
It can be said that the Internet era has arrived, and it is unstoppable … "
In this kind of situation, Li He spoke in English. Sometimes, he had to take care of the absolute majority.
There were close to thirty people here. There were leaders like Shen Daoru and Pan Youlin, and many chairmen of their companies. For example, Yuan Da Investment Group alone had five companies under it. Most of them were meeting Li He for the first time.
It was also Li He's first time meeting them.
"The Internet's power is endless. With the Internet, people will be able to obtain more information in the future.
In design, architecture, and other fields, this information and technology can help people in their work. The Internet will further develop in the future. Not only will it achieve 24-hour coverage, but the cost of using it will also get lower.
Information technology will bring more help and support to our development. Now, many companies want to become global enterprises, and they need the support of information technology in order to stand firm in the tide of the information era … "
Li He spoke non-stop, and the people around him listened attentively.
"We are in a fast-developing Internet era, and enterprises can only keep up with the pace of the times by taking the Internet express train.
If in the next twenty to thirty years, we don't grasp the Internet, the future era, and the changes in the market, we should let it die. If these enterprises don't die, more big enterprises will die in the future … "
This time, Li He didn't try to be glib. He sounded very sincere.
"Mr. Li, can you talk about the specific application of the Internet?" Sun Softbank asked.
The others did not feel much or understand from what Li He said, but it was different for him!
The companies that he bought and invested in were all related to computers and the Internet!
For example, just now, he invested 20 million USD in Yahoo with extraordinary courage!
"The most basic function of the Internet is the aggregation of information, thereby forming an information stream of endless value. In this huge information flow platform, the relationship between people was no longer constrained by physical space, and the way society existed had also undergone revolutionary changes.
The most commonly used service is email, which is what we call E-mail. Isn't this more convenient than the phone and express delivery?
The World Wide Web, BBS, news groups, and instant messaging will all undergo earth-shaking changes. This is what everyone can see. " Li He took the teapot handed to him by Loudspeaker, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "Then I'll talk about something we don't see often, like online shopping. You can ask around, there's an American called Bezos who opened an online bookstore called Amazon. I'm very optimistic about this, so a few days ago, I asked Mr. Pan Youlin to invest thirty million USD without hesitation …"
A wave of exclamations came from the audience!
They were not surprised by this amount. For the richest man in the world, investing tens of millions was just a drop in the bucket!
What they were surprised about was the untouchable and invisible online bookstore. How could they buy things, how could they sell things, and how could they develop? And he even invested?
This was beyond their understanding!
Their concept of the Internet was still limited to email and searching for information.
"Mr. Li, but this depends on a good electronic payment method, right?" Only Sun Softin really understood what he was saying.
He had interacted with Amazon before. In the early days, Amazon was always burning money, because the so-called profit model was simply ridiculous!
But in his opinion, it was not worth investing.
Not only did he reject Bezos, but all the investors in Silicon Valley and Wall Street rejected it!
But a few days later, he heard that a company from Hong Kong had made a fool of themselves and invested thirty million USD!
He even laughed at it at that time!
But he never would have thought that the fool was Li He!
Li He said, "A few years ago, credit card payments began to be made through the new information exchange channel of the Internet. Even now, the transaction method is very simple and there is almost no protection, just passing the credit card number through the Internet to complete the transaction.
Although there are many security measures, the transaction method of the consumer passing the credit card number to the merchant is still the same.
I don't think this is a problem, but an opportunity. We must look forward. If there is a startup that is doing online electronic payments, they can solve this problem. Then, invest in them and acquire them without hesitation!
Because this could be a market worth hundreds of billions, or even trillions! "
"Mr. Li, no wonder you are so successful!" Sun Softin said this from the bottom of his heart.
Li He smiled and said, "No, no, I am also making a bet. I will invest in ten companies, and as long as two companies succeed, I will succeed. For example, I also invested in eBay."
"Mr. Li, your foresight is indeed different from ordinary people." Sun Softin did not know whether to laugh or cry. This company was also one of the companies he had rejected. Li He was the fool that he had mentioned previously.
"Alright, that's all." Li He waved his hand and gestured for everyone to disperse.
After everyone had left, he was about to sit on a chair for a while when he was found by two short and strong middle-aged men.
They were the chairman of Delta Airlines, Gerhard. He and his partner beside him, Beresev, both had broad foreheads and thick beards.
They had arrived a day later than Iron Ear. They could not have come, but because the flight route from Budapest, the capital of Hungary, to Hong Kong had officially opened, they came directly when they were attending the Hong Kong direct flight ceremony.
Currently, Delta Airlines had an international flight crew of more than 50 people from seven countries and regions, including the United States, Russia, Finland, and Romania.
It was ranked among the world's third-rate airlines.
At this moment, they probably came with the intention of claiming credit, hoping that Li He would increase his investment.
But Li He was not satisfied. The Delta Airlines in front of him did not even have 20 planes, and they were all old models!
