Chapter 249 [Sleep, everything in your dreams]
Gu Cheng asked Xiaoqing to reply to Shangdu University in his personal name and be invited tomorrow.
After receiving Gu Cheng's invitation reply, the school immediately announced the news. This New Year's forum was full of big names. As one of the few top schools in China, Shangdu University has indeed produced many celebrities, super rich people, scientists, etc.
Among the many big names, Gu Cheng is definitely a heavyweight figure.
How much influence is it?
Originally, the attention of this forum was limited to China, but after the school announced that Gu Cheng would attend, foreign media reporters came to Shangdu University the next day.
It goes without saying that Gu Cheng is now well-known and influential in China, but relatively speaking, he is more well-known abroad and is often mentioned by European and American media organizations. His name and company name are also frequently seen in major mainstream media in Europe and the United States.
At around 9:40 am the next morning, a cool black supercar drove into Shangdu University. It was a modification of the Laiken Supercar, mainly for material modifications, and the materials used in carboyne alloys.
Under He Su's request, the luxury cars in Gu Cheng's family were all asked to be upgraded and modified for safety reasons.
This luxurious car immediately became the focus of many students' attention when entering university. In Shangdu, it is not uncommon for supercars worth tens of millions, but there is only one Laiken supercar.
Gu Cheng can be said to be one of the few rich people in China who never deliberately keeps a low profile. His vehicle drove to the parking space of a multimedia building inside the school and stopped.
There are already more than a dozen media reporters here, and many students from the school are entering the forum to hold the site.
Gu Cheng got out of the car, took off his sunglasses and threw them into the car. He was not wearing a formal outfit today, so he was wearing a simpler dress.
As soon as his car arrived at this building, it attracted a lot of attention, including reporters.
When many eyes saw Gu Cheng walking down from the car, more than a dozen reporters at the scene immediately turned the camera and took a crazily shot, but they did not rush up to ask for an interview.
The school has not invited many media this time, and they are all mainstream media, not those of tabloids or gossip media.
However, these media reporters still rushed forward and kept a certain distance to capture the photos.
When entering the venue, Gu Cheng was still "catched" by girls from the school and asked for a photo, and of course there were also boys.
Gu Cheng naturally didn't mind, so he took a photo three or five times. The school staff came to stop more and more students who asked for a photo. Seeing Gu Cheng leave, many students talked about each other.
The two girls discussed with each other:
"No one refutes the world's tallest handsome and richest man, right?"
"Whether you are tall or handsome, whether you are rich or not, it doesn't matter whether you are rich or not. What's important is that I like his temperament."
"hehe……"
"I'm so angry, I almost took a photo with Senior Gu."
"Senior? You really know how to post it up."
...
There are still more than ten minutes before the opening of the forum exchange conference, and Shangdu University also received him grandly and chatted a lot.
Well, Gu Cheng then said that he donated a sum of money to his alma mater for free. Now successful entrepreneurs donated money to universities, especially his alma maters, in huge donations of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, and it seems to have become the norm.
Gu Chengru donated 50 million yuan in his personal name for scientific research at Shangdu University.
At 10:20 am, this year's Shangdu University New Year Forum Exchange Conference has been held for more than 20 minutes. There are many big names coming to the scene. There are not only one heavyweight boss like Gu Cheng, and he has also been involved in many fields, including the business world, the technology world and the real estate industry.
Gu Cheng sat in the dozen single seats in the front row of the conference. All the people present were big shots in the industry, but except for Gu Cheng, everyone else was over fifty years old.
As for grades, it is as big as the one or two thousand college students sitting behind them. In terms of influence, Gu Cheng may be the existence of "Blue Wave Bay" among the big guys present.
Many college students come because of Gu Cheng's reputation. Some students who are determined to become entrepreneurs can be said to be their number one idol.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, the forum exchange had lasted for more than an hour, and it was finally Gu Cheng's turn to give a speech.
Under the applause of more than 2,000 industry elites and students attending the meeting, Gu Cheng got up from his seat and walked towards the stage calmly and confidently. There were more than those who paid attention to the event. Because the venue was limited, Gu Cheng learned that the exchange conference was still live.
"Sorry, this Mai seems to be entangled, so he insists on me bringing a scarf..." Gu Cheng came to the stage and sorted out his long scarf by himself. As a result, a noise from the wireless telegraph was heard in the quiet scene.
After the episode, Gu Cheng just faced the audience. This was the first time he gave a keynote speech at a public forum exchange meeting since he founded Tianqing Technology.
When facing a pair of eyes, older, younger or peers, who are focused on themselves, they are not at all stage frightened.
Gu Cheng held a small note in his hand and wrote a few keywords temporarily, basically speaking out of the script.
"Dear friends and classmates..." Gu Cheng gave up his routine words and said, "Frankly speaking, time has been delayed for too long. I think as the best School of Management of Shangdu University in the country, it has done a very bad job in time management..."
The complaining opening came up and caused the audience to burst into laughter. Gu Cheng smiled for a moment and continued: "Just Mr. Liu said he would finish his speech in twelve minutes. I secretly calculated it while sitting down... It took a full twenty minutes. So I tried to finish his speech in ten minutes, but it was hard to say."
It made everyone smile again.
Gu Cheng looked at the seating area in front of him and said calmly: "Today I saw it all the big topics. The big names and seniors in front, and people like Mr. Liu, all the feeling of looking down at the vast world. So I have prepared one or two topics myself... Today, so many big names in the industry came to visit this forum. At the end of the conversation, I found that in addition to praise and memories, the rest was to ask everyone to listen to these. To be honest, I really don't want to participate in such forum communication, but my alma mater invited me to warmly. As a junior, this would be too big if I didn't come."
As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter of the whole hall overshadowed Gu Cheng's voice.
After the voice retreated, Gu Cheng said, "What I want to say is that the current atmosphere is not good. For my company, there are many people in Tianqing Technology Group who are thinking about what Gu Cheng is thinking every day... What I think has something to do with you?"
The audience burst into laughter again, and Gu Cheng continued: "But they have to think about it, because if they offend Gu Cheng, my job may not be guaranteed. If the following are all working hard to keep the job, instead of thinking about how I should work hard to contribute to the company and society, they will start to do things that harm others and benefit themselves, but usually it is harming others and not self-interest. In fact, it is finished in one sentence, and the issue of guaranteeing reward distribution..."
Everyone listened quietly, and Gu Cheng on the stage continued his speech. The previous complaint-like opening made the audience energetic. As time went by, the speech gradually deepened the topic.
"... Due to time constraints, I'll say it faster." Gu Cheng glanced at the keywords on the small note in his hand, then looked around the audience and said: "I am a technology practitioner, and finally talked about some technology issues. I think we are talking about high technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing every day, but I want to talk about one of the elements behind it."
"First of all, an entrepreneur's mentality determines his investment in technology research and development. Today I found that most entrepreneurs either save the money in their hands or invest in short-term interests. They basically have not invested money in long-term research and development. The reason is also very simple. These companies lack a long-term sense of security. They feel that every day is winter, and they are ready to spend the winter with cash flow."
Others may sneer at this, but no one refuted Gu Cheng's words, because Tianqing Technology Group announced the establishment of the Tianqing Science Foundation a while ago, and injected 200 billion yuan into this science foundation every year to fund basic scientific research in major fields.
Gu Cheng: "Secondly, when the country strongly supports high-tech entrepreneurship and research and development, I think we must distinguish between pseudo-high technology and real high-tech innovation and research and development. What does this mean?"
After a pause, Gu Cheng continued: "I found that many companies now use high-tech brands to surround a piece of land in the local area, leaving the high-tech industrial park deserted for three to five or even ten to eight years. There is no high-tech innovation and research and development at all. They just built a shell of AI, big data, cloud computing, etc., so they obtained a high-tech business license issued by the state and received tax exemptions. What is the real estate reselling business? They are doing a lot of money."
The scene became quieter and Gu Cheng's voice was heard. Several bosses in the real estate industry put away their expressions and started to have expressionless faces.
Gu Cheng calmly said: "All, I think it is important to distinguish between real high-tech innovation and pseudo-high technology. Another thing is that tax cuts now. This is very important good news. It gives enterprises a breath and allows enterprises to invest more money in high-tech research and development. However, I still heard some so-called experts say, what if the tax cuts are given to enterprises, what should they do if they have extra money? I laughed at the time. Do you still need to worry about what to do with the extra money?"
As soon as this was said, the quiet forum finally made laughter come again, and Gu Cheng's words were the most say. Tianqing Technology Group's profitability is obvious to all. What is the real estate and financial industry, in the face of a real monopoly high-tech industry, is more profitable than a slack.
Tianqing Technology has so much money that it cannot be spent, but Gu Cheng's disposal of this money has left everyone speechless. He spent 200 billion yuan every year to fund basic scientific research that is almost difficult to report. The return cycle may be more than ten or even twenty years, and the miserable particles are not harvested.
People who think that Tianqing Technology's behavior looks stupid are more sour and jealous, and are long-standing disconfidence, fearing that the company will go bankrupt tomorrow, and if you make some money, you will keep it for the winter in case of emergency.
But then again, it is really difficult for other companies to do this like Tianqing Technology. Gu Cheng's career in Tianqing Science Foundation is far beyond the scope that ordinary companies can afford.
But no one forced it to do it. After all, Tianqing Technology is too buggy, and it has achieved a revenue scale of 700 billion+ billion in three years. In an old saying, it is the light of fireflies and the bright moon competing for light.
It’s not embarrassing to not do it.
"Due to time, my speech has been 10 minutes long. Time management is indeed not easy. Finally, I would like to give suggestions to the entrepreneurs attending the meeting and the students who are about to enter the society to strive."
Gu Cheng looked at everyone attending the meeting: "First, don't participate in such forums."
"Hahaha……"
The whole hall kept laughing and applause. It was really unexpected that the audience who watched the live broadcast was immediately happy.
"Boss Gu is such a show. What if the bosses behind him say, there are three more people."
"The boss is the boss, and he has a good aura."
"When can I be so casual on the stage like looking down on the crowd in the sky, chatting and laughing, and it's so fun to think about it."
"Then watch the live broadcast of the forum, go to bed quickly, there are everything in your dreams."
"Xiu'er~"
“A real batch of 233”
"Hahaha, I'm so determined!"
"I guess the school regrets asking him to come a little bit, and Boss Gu is so angry that he is full of criticisms, haha."
"I regret it. I didn't see Mr. Gu donating 50 million. I can't help but ask Mr. Gu to speak 50 million every day."
"I guess I'm so happy. Anyway, the forum will be open next year, and it seems that no one is here to participate."
"Uh, I can't argue...[cover your face]"
At the forum venue, Gu Cheng said: "I really think it is beneficial to participate in such forums less. It is a waste of time for you and a waste of time for me. The second suggestion is to find out what you really like to do. This is good for yourself and your development. As for whether it is good for society, you just need to make sure that it is good for society if it is not illegal."
"The last piece of advice is to spend time on what you do, future, development layout and research on the world's most cutting-edge development in the industry you are in, rather than spending time taking photos with Gu Cheng after a break, it doesn't mean anything to you."
The last sentence made the audience burst into laughter, and Gu Cheng laughed and said, "I'll just talk about this, thank you everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cheng greeted everyone and walked off the stage with a burst of warm applause.
Chapter completed!
