Chapter 224 The Global Village in Social Networks

  The person here is full of beard, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, and is about forty-five or six years old.

  "Wu Ying, come, let me introduce you to one of Silicon Valley's most promising startup CEOs, Xia Jingxing of Facebook."

  Yang Zhiyuan is very familiar with the other party, so he started making referrals when he came up.

  "Hello, Mr. Wu Ying, UTStarcom's PHS is a household name in China, so I am glad to meet you!"

  Xia Jingxing walked forward with a smile and shook hands with the bearded man.

  Wu Ying smiled and said, “I know that Facebook, a twenty-year-old CEO, is valued at 600 million US dollars. It’s a remarkable achievement.”

  The crowd stood in a pile. After a few words of greeting, Deng Feng looked at Xia Jingxing and said, "Mr. Xia, your speech is scheduled in the afternoon. There is no problem, right?"

  Huayuan Science and Technology Association not only invited Xia Jingxing to attend their annual meeting, but also made Xia Jingxing the guest speaker.

  It is very important in terms of specifications and etiquette.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "No problem! Also, just call me Dai Lun or Jingxing. It’s too polite to call Mr. Xia, after all, I'm only twenty years old."

   "Hahaha~"

Zhu Min, the chairman of   Xun.com, who looked exactly like "Song Xiaobao" laughed.

  He pointed to Xia Jingxing and said with a smile: "Jingxing, you don’t respect the old and the young. I should be the oldest of the group of people here, born in 1948.

  Compared with you all outstanding young people, I feel that my old guy is going to be eliminated. "

  "Mr. Zhu, don't say that. I actually admire you predecessors who went to the United States to study in the 1980s and 1990s.

  At that time, the domestic economic conditions were not good. When you came to the United States to study, you had to work to earn tuition and living expenses while also studying and even starting a business.

  Compared with you, our international students in the new century have much better material conditions. "

  Xia Jingxing's remarks aroused strong resonance among the people present.

  Wu Ying nodded and recalled: “In 1985, when I went to the New Jersey Institute of Technology to study for a master’s degree, I brought a total of $30 with me.

  Buying beer on the plane for $1, when I got off the plane, a little girl came to me with a donation box and asked if I was from Dongying?

  I gave her 2 dollars and told her that I am Chinese. Then he went to the United States with 27 dollars. "

  Deng Feng said with emotion: “I went to the State University of New Jersey to study for a master’s degree in computer science in 1990. At that time, I was boarding in an American home.

  While washing the dishes in the restaurant, she also helps the host family with housework, weeding, washing the car, repairing the house, and repairing furniture. "

  Chen Hong nodded, “I graduated from Xi’an Jiaotong University at the age of 19, and then came to the United States in 1985. At that time, Chinese people in this land had only two ways to succeed, either being a chef or an engineer.

  I chose the third way, I want to be a boss, I want to be among the mainstream business circles in Silicon Valley! "

  Chen Hong’s language is very contagious, and his voice is also very loud.

  Everyone saw the firmness of eagerness for success and recognition in the tone of his speech and the look in his eyes.

  Zhu Min smiled and said, "Compared with you, I only came to the United States at the age of 36. It was 1984. My wife and children were still in China, so I was alone in studying in the United States.

  But I am not afraid of hardship at all!

  I went to the countryside during the humanitarian torrent and joined the team for eight years. After the reform and opening up, I graduated from Zhejiang Agricultural University with a major in tractor design and manufacturing in 1981 and was assigned to a refrigerator factory to the factory manager..."

  Xie Qing also shared his life studying abroad. He and Deng Feng are classmates of Tsinghua University, and they also came to the United States in 1990. They also suffered a lot during their studies.

  Shao Yibo is ten years younger than this group of people, but he also came to the United States to study in 1990, because he was an undergraduate.

  He shared with everyone: "I was 17 years old, when I was in my second year of high school, and I applied for a full scholarship at Harvard University. At that time, there were only a few places in mainland China each year. Teachers and classmates thought I was whimsical..."

  Xia Jingxing nodded secretly as he listened.

  Who said that knowledge cannot change destiny?

  No bigwigs engaged in technology and finance are uneducated. Even Jack Ma, somehow he also studied an ordinary undergraduate.

  Xu Bo of TOEIC Networks, that kind of example is basically difficult to reproduce, and it is also a very rare case.

   "Jingxing, how about you?"

  After hearing the stories of several companions, Yang Zhiyuan also felt a lot. He looked at Xia Jingxing and asked.

  Several entrepreneurs also looked at Xia Jingxing.

  "I am a Stanford half-award, and I only exempt the tuition, but my family can afford living expenses, so I work in the school gym for one or two months."

  Deng Feng smiled and said, "The family conditions are also very good!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded and smiled, not refuting this view.

  Undergraduate fees in the United States are very expensive, and scholarships are hard to get. For international students who don't have any scholarships, that family can definitely be called a wealthy family.

  Although he has exempted tuition, the tens of thousands of dollars in living expenses per year are not affordable by ordinary families.

  When it comes to master's degree, it is relatively easy to get a scholarship. The doctor is even more powerful and can earn some allowance.

  Generally, to judge the quality of a student’s family in the United States, just look at the grade and age of the other student.

  The lower the grade and the younger the age, the richer the family.

  As for international students studying in middle and high schools in the United States, that family is definitely in a very good situation.

  Of course, this is not absolute, just as a reference.

  A group of people chatted for a while, Deng Feng looked down at his watch, and the meeting was about to proceed, so he spoke out and urged everyone to enter the venue.

  Xia Jingxing followed a few people and walked into the hotel's conference hall.

  The hall is divided into on-stage and off-stage. There is a lecture podium on the stage and an electronic screen with words such as the third annual meeting on the screen.

  Below the stage is a row of seats, full of seats.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the crowds of people in the audience, and counted them. The number was no less than 1,000, and the scale was not small.

  Most of these people are Chinese entrepreneurs and students from all over the United States, and there are also a small number of whites, Indians, and blacks.

  In addition, media reporters set up guns in the front row and aisle to aim them at the podium.

  Xia Jingxing sat down in the first row with several big guys.

  He actually gave in a bit and wanted to sit in the second row, but Deng Feng insisted on arranging him to sit in the first row.

  After sitting down in the first row, Xia Jingxing looked around.

  I don’t know if Deng Feng arranged it deliberately. On his left is Intel’s senior vice president Yu Youcheng who graduated from Stanford, and on his right is Stanford University tenured professor Zhang Shousheng.

  In short, the two can get involved with Stanford.

  So, Xia Jingxing naturally talked with the two.

A few minutes later.

  Deng Feng stepped onto the stage and delivered a welcome speech as the president of the association.

  Next, the consul of the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco delivered a speech, announcing the official opening of the conference.

  Afterwards, Zhiyuan Yang delivered his first keynote speech, talking about the development trend of the Internet and the outlook for the future.

  As the founder of the world’s most valuable Internet company, Yang Zhiyuan’s speech naturally received warm applause and cheers.

   "Jerry spoke really well, very far-sighted. What do you think, Dai Lun?" Zhang Shousheng, who was sitting on the right side of Xia Jingxing, asked.

  Xia Jingxing nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, "Yes, learn from him!"

   "I am getting old, and I am still very pleased to see that you are getting better from year to year."

  Yu Youcheng, who was sitting on the left side of Xia Jingxing, also spoke.

  This magic capital was born during World War II. He received a PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford in the 1960s and joined Intel in 1972. He is a representative figure of Chinese and Chinese in the CPU industry.

  In terms of enrollment, this person is much earlier than Yang Zhiyuan and Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "You are not old, the future Pentium Five will have to be born in your hands."

  Yu Youcheng laughed. He is in charge of the processor department, and Xia Jingxing’s bludger, he shot it to his liking.

  After Yang Zhiyuan, entrepreneurs such as Chen Hong, Zhu Min, Xie Qing, Wu Ying, Shao Yibo took the stage in turn and delivered speeches.

  Each person focuses on a different topic, which is roughly related to the industry.

  After having dinner at the hotel at noon, it was Xia Jingxing's turn to give a speech in the afternoon.

  He tidyed up his clothes, and walked toward the stage without rush.

  Holding the microphone, facing the thousands of eyes off the stage, Xia Jingxing slowly said: "Good afternoon everyone. The topic of my speech today is "The Global Village Under Social Networks."

  　 Three changes first, plus a little later.
