The days that followed, Cang Yaozu was very leisurely and happy when he did not participate in military training. While his classmates were sweating profusely, he blew the electric fan and ate the iced watermelon comfortably.

Cang Yaozu got the opportunity to perform at the welcome party, but there was another request. The counselor said that he had reported to the principal about Cang Yaozu, and the principal asked Cang Yaozu to give another speech as a representative of the freshman at the welcome party.

Could it be that the drinking speech at the class meeting was so effective? Should I drink more during the welcome party?

It’s better not to think about it, just prepare a speech honestly and don’t show your timidity on the stage, that’s the dark spot for your whole life.

What should I say? Also talk about the impact of the Internet trend on students? No, let’s talk about how to do it as a school in the Internet era. This is interesting and the transformation from top to bottom has greater power.

Time soon came to the day of the welcome party. After some procedures, it was Cang Yaozu's turn to go on stage. Cang Yaozu had to go on stage and start his speech.

"Actually, at the beginning, I refused. Because the school cannot ask me to speak, I will come up and speak. First, I need to prepare, because I don't want to write a random speech and then add a little gimmick to it. Come up and say "Duang" and talk nonsense. In this way, you will definitely scold me. I am not the top scorer in our savings. In fact, I feel a little guilty when I come up to speak.

Later they told me that I was going to give a speech, and a program could be performed at the welcome party later. After thinking repeatedly, I was moved. Then I spent about a week preparing this speech, and I felt pretty good. I hope that when I gave a speech, you don’t applaud perfunctorily, because I want to see what you are like after I finish speaking, and what the school leaders are like."

"Let me start to talk about my first point. As you all know, the Internet era is coming, and the freshmen here may not know what this concept is. The old students in the school just think it is much more convenient to search papers and materials. The teachers in the school may think it is easier to find the development trends and technical hot spots of the foreign communications industry. No, this is not enough. The Internet is like a tsunami, which will deeply change the world we live in. The communications industry is not only unavoidable, but also the first to be affected.

Communication is the carrier of the Internet, and the significance of the existence of the Internet lies in information communication and interaction. I know that many professors in the communication industry are engaged in hardware development, so they think that software development is nothing great, but I don’t want you to think, I want me to think.

Yes, I think this is wrong. Software and hardware are complementary, and it is useless to separate them. Hardware is the carrier of software, software is the soul of hardware, and the unity of spirit and flesh is a fresh and complete life body.

The 1970s was a wave of semiconductor hardware, and this time in the 1990s was a wave of Internet software. I hope it will attract everyone's attention. I also hope that China will rise to several giant companies comparable to Microsoft in this Internet wave."

"My second point is that the integration of the Internet and communications is irreversible. My lawyer friend from Citiland told me that Dr. John Leahven from Australia led a team to invent WIFI technology in the early 1990s and successfully applied for a patent from Citiland this year.

This technology will bring the Internet into the wireless era. Computers are also constantly developing towards miniaturization. I think that one day in the future, mobile phones and PCs can complete a great meeting. I am sure that is the beginning of the mobile Internet. The communications industry has now entered the GSM era, and the research and layout of 3G communication standards should be put on the agenda.

What I want to tell you is that this is an era that pays special attention to innovation. The communications industry is transforming from voice business to data business in all aspects. Under the background of the integration of three networks, we, Yanyou, have no choice but to stand at the forefront of this era. We, Yanyou, should become the new Silicon Valley of the East, right here, right at our feet."

"My third point is that the Internet is a place where miracles are born. Many people now say that world peace has developed for so many years, and class solidification has been severe, and young people have no chance.

Is this view correct? Wrong, it's a big mistake, because the wave of the Internet is coming, and the Internet is the only opportunity to break class solidification at this stage. The Internet will change many traditional industries, including news publishing, information retrieval, warehousing and logistics, retail and catering, and many industries.

The changes brought by the Internet are not only broad but also profound. Yahoo was listed on the Nasdaq in the first half of the year, and its market value has now reached 1 billion US dollars. Yahoo will be the most promising Internet company to exceed the 100 billion US dollars market value in the next few years. What? Impossible? Poverty limits your imagination.

I said that even pigs can fly when standing on the wind. If a pig has a pair of small wings, it will fly higher. If the wings evolve, it will become a super dominant giant in the Internet industry. If the giant's wings flap, it can trigger a tsunami in the Internet field.

So, we can think that Yanyou is a huge pig farm, and everyone here is all pigs. Now, I tell you, the wind is rising."

"At the class meeting a few days ago, I told me that I have several small goals this year. The first small goal is to make him 100 million first. I am very happy to tell you that this goal is almost completed.

Don't you believe it? I'll advertise here first. My company was successfully registered a few days ago. It's called Shanyao Technology. Well, students who want to find a job can come to me for an interview.

How did this small goal be achieved? That is, I paid 10% of the shares and obtained angel investment of 10 million US dollars from Citigroup investors. So, my Shanfang Technology's current valuation has reached 100 million US dollars. Unbelievable? Haha, I just said that poverty limits your imagination. Now is the Internet era, and wealth will grow at a geometric scale.

What I want to say is that a single tree cannot make a forest. If you want to build our Yanyou into the new Silicon Valley in the East, I hope that more friends in our Yanyou can stand on the stage and show yourself to the fullest. For this reason, I will spend $2 million to set up an information industry incubation fund to help more students grow faster.

My second little goal is to have a beautiful and enduring girl. She said that as long as I sing an original song at the welcome party, she would agree to my pursuit. I would like to give me a testimony to you later and have a wonderful appointment on this stage.

The third small goal, I didn’t say it at the class meeting, I will talk about it here today. At that class meeting, the counselor wanted me to run for the class leader, but I didn’t agree. The situation was too small. I saw Principal Lin sitting down below now, oh, the old principal is also there. Here, I formally applied to Principal Lin, and I want to run for our vice principal of Yanyou.

Uh, let's be quiet. After listening to me, why should I run for this vice president? The main reason is that the Internet is developing very fast and very fast, and it is really time-consuming. Our existing leadership decision-making mechanism is still operating according to inertia. I would say without hesitation that it is impossible to make decisions like this and build a new Silicon Valley.

I want to be a vice principal of Yanyou, fully integrate the school, society and my resources, and quickly complete the construction of the Information Industry Innovation Park in the next three years. I hope that all school leaders can give me a chance to make Yanyou a miracle in the field of science and technology.

I can promise that within three years I will invest no less than 5 billion yuan to promote the construction of this information industry park. In five years, I guarantee that this project will be more than 90% complete, and it is expected that the investment will be no less than 50 billion yuan. Through this information industry park, we will fully revitalize our Yanyou and completely push Yanyou to the peak of the domestic science and technology field.

Okay, that’s all for my speech, thank you for listening.”

After Cang Yaozu finished his speech, there was warm applause from the audience, but there was also a lot of discussion. This freshman is too crazy, and you really have a 5 billion investment? You only have 10 million US dollars now. This is 5 billion, but there is still a distance of as big as the Pacific Ocean.

Principal Lin of Yan You walked onto the stage. He had already delivered a speech to this class of freshmen in front of Cang Yaozu, but he came up again.

"Okay, it's really terrifying for the younger generation. The early achievements of Cang's classmate are beyond our expectations, and even more unexpected is that he brought me uprightly on this occasion today. This made me realize that our work is not done well. The depth of many topics is even beyond our imagination. Cang's classmate is right, poverty limits our imagination, lack of vision and lack of big picture, I must recognize this.

As the principal of Yanyou in recent years, I feel deeply embarrassed and sad that a good wife cannot cook without rice. Our dormitory building should be built, the air conditioner in the dormitory should be installed, the network of the dormitory should be installed, and several teaching buildings should be built. Elevators, air conditioners, TVs, and networks are all basic facilities, and they should be allocated to students. The scientific research funds of professors and experts are also difficult to sustain.

In the past, I would have complained that the national team did not pay enough attention to the communication field and that the support for our Yanyou was too small. But now, I deeply realize that it is because my thinking is not wide enough, my pattern is not big enough, and I did not do my job well. Here I apologize to everyone.

Before I came to the stage, I had a simple communication with our old principal of Yanyou. We unanimously agreed that we should agree to this requirement. The rules are to be broken, and they will not be established without breaking, and then they will be established.

As the saying goes, geese fly without a head, and people leave without a head. Our Yanyou, the wild goose, finally has a head, and we old guys will also move and help check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

I hope that our teachers and students of Yanyou can exert more subjective initiative and strive to make Yanyou’s construction change every year and every three years.

Well, I am very happy today. Thank you to Cang Yaozu for your courage in doing things. Let us, under the leadership of his leader, work hard to build the new Silicon Valley in the East.
Chapter completed!
