Those who had heard his speech before just laughed out loud, as if they had expected it.
The students who had never heard his speech were pitiful. They thought they would be comforted, but instead, they were doused with a bucket of cold water.
As if their tails had been stepped on, some people cursed him in a low voice and muttered to each other that he was not a good person. The hall was suddenly filled with noise.
Li He said, "Everyone is very concerned about the future. No one can guarantee what the future will be like …"
"Study hard at the age where you can study. Studying is the way to change your fate, especially for those who look similar to me. Studying is your only way out …"
Before Li He finished, the whole hall burst into laughter.
"A few years after China was connected to the Internet, I made a rough prediction and judgment in a speech. I said that as China entered the WTO, the domestic Internet policy would be further opened up, and international capital would flood in. The domestic capital would also start to awaken, and we should actively participate in Internet investment.
In fact, around 2000, China's Internet development entered the fast lane. China's big IT industry with the Internet as the core was basically formed, and it became the barometer of China's economy.
Now, China's Internet has grown from nothing, from small to large, from big to strong. It is extraordinarily lively and noisy. Weibo, e-shopping, instant messaging, group buying, search, everything is in full bloom.
The China Internet Network Information Center released the Statistical Report on China's Internet Development. In 2012, the number of netizens in China reached 564 million, and the Internet penetration rate was 42.1%, the world's largest Internet user population.
The Internet has penetrated every corner of China's society, changing our lives, work, entertainment, thoughts, and actions … "
The students were bored listening to him. After all, this was a cliché.
Moreover, who knew who he was?!
Who didn't know how to brag?!
However, what surprised them was that the big shots sitting in the front row were actually taking notes seriously. They originally thought that it was just for show, but when they saw their sincere attitude, as if they were afraid of missing a single word, it really made them feel ashamed.
"At that time, I even made a simple prediction about mobile communications. I said that in the future, everyone would have one mobile phone. This is a positive result of social development.
At that time, everyone was still using the clumsy Big Brother bricks. At the end of the 1980s, they sold for more than ten thousand yuan, which was not cheap at all. That was a symbol of status and wealth. If they held it in their hands, many people would turn their heads. If they had a Big Brother, they would not have to worry about finding a partner.
Looking back, the number of smartphones in China reached 360 million in 2012.
Now, I dare say that basically everyone in our class has one, right?
Who doesn't have a cell phone? "
"Yes …"
"Both …"
"Who doesn't have a phone these days?"
Before the students could react, the big shots below the stage started to rush to answer.
"The number of mobile phones is even higher than that of computers. As the mobile network upgrades from 3G to 4G, the number of mobile device users will exceed the number of desktop computers. This means that mobile phones will become an even more important gateway to the Internet than computers, forming the mobile Internet." Li He took a sip of tea and continued, "The mobile Internet is the combination of mobile communications and the Internet into one.
In the next few years, the number of mobile applications will increase exponentially. Mobile communications and the Internet will become the two fastest growing businesses in the world today, with the biggest market potential and the most attractive prospects … "
The students were confused, but the big shots below the stage were so excited that their faces were red.
To the big shots, even if Second Brother Li was joking, they could not easily ignore it. They had to spend a lot of effort to analyze and analyze it!
Moreover, it was said in a serious manner, so they had to pay more attention to it!
In the business world of China, there was a saying: If you don't listen to Second Brother Li, you will suffer.
"I said so much to the students, not to encourage everyone to rush into the mobile Internet industry, but to tell everyone what the trend is, to go with the flow, to use the wind to send me to the clouds." Li He paused and said, "The Internet has already affected various industries, and the development of the entire Internet has reached a new stage.
The Internet and traditional industries are not against each other. Traditional enterprises also need to think about the Internet, use network technology, information technology, and all kinds of Internet platforms to promote industry transformation, upgrading, and overall integration and improvement … "
"In the future, the Internet will not have limits, just like how electricity has no limits. There are many business owners here, so if I say something, everyone can say that I'm just being an alarmist. If everyone doesn't change their thinking, only half of them will survive in the future … "
All the big shots had a serious expression on their faces. Everyone knew that Second Brother Li never scared people.
Second Brother Li's words were always worthy of attention and research, but research and discussion were two different things. They still needed to do some research and observation.
It was fine not to follow Second Brother Li's words, but the problem was that they did not follow his train of thought and did it well?
Wasn't this a slap to Second Brother Li's face?! He was purposely opposing him!
Where was his dignity?
There was a saying in the business world: Second Brother Li's stinginess.
Ping Song, Su Ming, Lu Bo, and the others had already made up their minds. When they went back, they were going to revamp the official website themselves. They were going to design a high-end, elegant, and high-class website.
Li He talked about social trends and industry development for half an hour. Perhaps it was because he was too serious, there were only waves of applause below the stage, and it was not as cheerful as before.
"I rarely give advice to people. It's very difficult to put my own thoughts into someone else's head. Moreover, everyone's position is completely different, and some things can only be understood after experiencing it yourself.
If someone tells you that money is not important and that money is not the standard to measure success, and encourages you to go on a trip that you want to go on, unless your family has a mine, you should quickly cut ties with this person.
Getting out of poverty is more important than anything else. If you want to live longer, move less, and if you want to live well, move more. "
The applause from the students below the stage was sparse. They had already labeled Second Brother Li as a gold digger, and only the big shots applauded fiercely.
"Don't complain, don't do evil for money, don't procrastinate, and be yourself."
Second Brother Li, who was a procrastinator, ended his speech amidst the warm applause.
Li Lan stood below the stage and watched his father speak with fervor and assurance. It was not until his father faded out of sight that he turned around and left.
"He's teaching us to be slaves to money." His roommate expressed his opinion to him.
"You think you're not?" Li Lan asked. Although his father was known for being tacky and unambitious, only being active during meals and complaining about tiring work, he knew that it was wrong of him to do so, but he still had to protect his father's reputation.
"The whole value of life is not the pursuit of wealth." His roommate retorted, "There are many ways to pursue happiness."
Li Lan laughed, "Isn't happiness just having something in your nostrils every time you want to pick your nose? Unless there's a dung beetle living in your heart, you won't see money as dirt.
He made it very clear on the stage. Live for money, don't die for money. "
His classmate laughed, "I haven't had lunch yet, don't make it sound so disgusting."
