The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 334 331. Boss Cao is simply a monster

   Late November 2006.

   Boss Cao is busy again.

  The reason for being busy is not because of the company’s business, but because of——

  To participate in various programs and be invited to give lectures.

  The principal of National Tsing Hua University invited Boss Cao back to his alma mater to give a speech. The time was set on December 4.

  Then after the National Tsing Hua University speech, on December 12, Cao Yang will go to the CCTV 2006 China Economic Figure Awards Ceremony.

  In this selection, only 10 outstanding Chinese entrepreneurs with the most influence are selected in one year. It is the first time that Cao Yang has won this award. In addition, it is CCTV. You have no reason to refuse.

  After CCTV’s annual selection of economic figures is over, on December 20th, Cao Yang will accept an exclusive interview with Forbes magazine.

  Compared to Arima, Boss Cao has fallen behind.

  As early as July 2000, Arima had already appeared on the cover of the international edition of Forbes magazine——

  The Ali Ma in the cover photo is wearing a size one-size plaid shirt and clenched his fists. His smile is like announcing the vitality of Alibaba’s new “child” to the world.

  Forbes reported on this Chinese company and its founder Ali Ma with "Xiaomi's B2B".

"Forbes" said: "Arima is in the right direction. Only 20 large companies in the United States have the need to buy 1 container of hammers, but there are 555 hardware wholesalers. 20,900 retailers only need to buy one box or box of hammers. Small businesses (that make hammers) are very grateful to Alibaba."

  At that time, Alibaba was just a B2B-based startup company.

  But in just over a year, they have gathered 250,000 members from more than 200 countries and regions, becoming one of the world's largest online markets and merchant communities, and they are still maintaining rapid growth every day.

  That photo made Alima appear in the world for the first time, but no one thought at that time how this young man would change the world.

Even the most senior readers of Forbes, after reading it, they only realized in a flash in their minds that in the far east, the world still believes that there is a dynamic company and young people in a dreary land that is worthy of people. Admiringly.

  So although Cao Yang is 6 years late, it is already very good to be on Forbes.

  You must know that Boss Cao is only 26 years old this year, and I don’t know how much younger he is compared to Ali Ma.

  And this year, Alima and Cao Yang were nominated as one of the top 10 Chinese economic figures in 2006. Therefore, on December 12, Cao Yang was able to see Penguin’s enemies in previous lives on CCTV.

  The previous Shuangma can be regarded as the two big carriages of Chinese private enterprises. The market value of the two companies exceeds one trillion, making them one of the largest Internet companies in the world.

  The two companies are competing in many areas. After all, they are both Internet companies. Although they are cutting leeks through monopoly, the focus of cutting leeks is not the same.

  Penguins are big and comprehensive. You must take part in everything, mainly in games, music, animation, novels, cultural and entertainment products.

  And Ali is harvesting in the life shopping and related livelihood service industries.

It's just that in this life, Arima's biggest competitor has been replaced by Cao Yang.

Affected by the butterfly effect, Ali launched B2C business in advance, not only to provide e-commerce services for enterprises, but also to provide e-commerce services for the general public. Since 2003, Ali has established Alipay for ordinary people and enterprises. Provide convenient and fast online payment functions.

  It’s just that the current Alipay has no deposit and loan-related business, and the user scale is not large.

  On July 7, 2003, Ali officially announced the investment of 100 million yuan to open Taobao.

  In 2004, Ali launched "Taobao Wangwang", which combines chat with online shopping

  Taobao surpassed eBay, eBay and Yahoo in 2005 to become Asia’s largest online shopping platform.

  In 2006, it became the largest comprehensive store in China. The annual transaction volume reached 104.4 billion yuan, and the number of registered users has exceeded 30 million.

  What a terrifying number this is.

  But don’t look at such a huge transaction volume. In fact, Ali’s net profit is very small.

  Ali’s revenue as of December this year was 3.34 billion, but its net profit was less than 300 million.

  Not as much as a game of Bomi.

At present, Bomi’s total annual revenue is estimated to be about 40 billion, which can completely explode the entire Ali, but because Bomi’s expenses are also very large, mainly in mobile phones, cloud computing, big data centers, new 3A project research and development, Bandwidth, movies, Bomi’s new building... these places spend money like water, so in the end, Bomi’s net profit this year is actually a loss.

  It looks like a loss of 200 million.

  If it were not for the solid foundation accumulated in the past few years, Cao Yang really doesn’t know what to do now.

  The annual loss of 200 million yuan is actually quite optimistic, because even so, it will take more than ten years to lose all the money that Cao Yang made in the stock market before.

  If it weren’t for Bomi’s pace of expansion, their annual profit margin should be quite high now.

  But Cao Yang is still very confident, after all, next year will be the highlight of making money.

  ……

  Because he was selected as a Chinese economic figure in 2006, in the next few days, Cao Yang has been cooperating with the CCTV shooting team to record the video.

  The video is mainly used for playing at the Chinese Economic Figure Awards Ceremony on December 12.

  The shooting team is more staffed than the previous interviews. Counting the interviewers, there are directors, assistants, photographers, and makeup artists. There are almost 6 or 7 people in total.

  The reporter interviewed this time is a reporter from Economic Channel, whose name is Lu Xiaoxing.

  It is not so much an interview as it is a posing.

  Because there is no need to do interviews and interactive sessions during the whole process.

   "Mr. Cao, you only need to show your domineering side, and then introduce to the audience in the whole country what you have done for so many years and what your business philosophy is."

"I……"

  Cao Yang thought to me, how can I have a domineering side?

  Even my little secretary can make me want it.

  However, Cao Yang still gave a speech very cooperatively.

  After the recording was completed, the director directed to do some posing recording work, and at the same time visited the working environment of the employees in the Bomi Building, did some work on the materials, and then left.

  The whole journey takes no more than 3 hours.

  Before leaving, the director gave Cao Yang an OK gesture, "Mr. Cao, you just wait for the show to be a big hit."

   "I..." Cao Yang felt embarrassed.

  I am a people’s entrepreneur, what should I do?

  But the director doesn’t think much. He thinks Cao Yang’s image is really good, especially standing among a bunch of entrepreneurs selected this year.

  And with the efforts made by Cao Yang over the years, Bomi can have such a large scale today, you really can’t say that Boss Cao is a [rising star].

  But Boss Cao looks unusually young again, which is really hard to describe.

  But these are the things to be done later, and someone will naturally write the publicity draft.

  After sending away the CCTV shooting team, Zhuang Yurou folded her hands in front of her chest and stood beside Cao Yang with her mouth pursed and smiled silently.

   Cao Yang turned around and caught the little secretary who was snickering.

   "What are you doing? I have something on my face?" Cao Yang raised his hand and wiped his cheek.

  Fuck...

  What if it was recorded because of something ruined the image on the face?

  At that time, it will be broadcast live nationwide, and everyone has seen it. Isn’t my image of Yushu Linfeng's handsome guy going to be ruined?

  Zhuang Yurou smiled and said, "No, boss, your image is better."

  She stood in front of the Bomi Building and looked at the CCTV car leaving in the distance, but she said with some sigh, “It’s really amazing to be an economic figure of the year.

  And boss, you will definitely be hot this time.

  I looked at the CCTV nomination list this year, and the people on it are not as handsome as you. "

   "Oh," Cao Yang laughed in surprise, "You changed **** today, are you in financial difficulties and need a raise? Why is your mouth so sweet?"

   "Huh." Zhuang Yurou wrinkled her nose and snorted, "I'm just confessing a fact, but if the boss wants to give me a raise, I don't mind."

   "If you praise me every day like today, and make the boss feel happy, you will naturally get a raise." Cao Yang said.

Um……

  Zhuang Yurou is rarely so happy in her life. Cao Yang was able to select the economic figure of the previous year, which shows that the influence of Bomi Company is large enough, and Zhuang Yurou is also with You Rongyan.

  It's as if she herself went to the stage.

  "Boss, you have to come on! Don't drop the chain during the live broadcast and lose our Bomi people."

   "Hey..." Cao Yang sighed coldly, "Sure enough, you still regard money as dung! It's amazing, admire it!"

"boss!"

  ……

   December 4, 2006.

  Cao Yang was invited by the President of National Tsing Hua University, Gu Binglin, to give a speech to the university students in the lecture hall of the National Tsing Hua University.

  For Cao Yang, it is really an honor.

  The students present crowded the whole lecture hall, and Cao Yang, as the keynote speaker, actually asked others to help squeeze in.

  There are three and three floors outside the scene, which is surrounded by water.

  Because of fear of accidents, after Cao Yang reached the lecture hall, the principal asked the security guards to prohibit the new students from entering.

  The students who had been delayed for a minute or two outside felt very regretful.

  Now Cao Yang's reputation is quite large among the domestic young college students, just like the previous Lei Jun. Many young college students regard Cao Yang as their idol.

Even after the Department of Computer Science and Technology came out of the "Wizard" of Cao Yang, many people wanted to apply for the college, which caused the admission scores to be lower among the departments of National Tsing Hua University, and even the Department of Computer Science that needed to be adjusted. Suddenly the score was much higher.

  Now the computer majors in major domestic colleges and universities have become popular majors. Many young people are determined to be the Internet even when they are in high school. Therefore, the country has a lot more talents in this field than in previous lives.

  This is the butterfly effect.

  ……

  Before Cao Yang appeared on the stage, the school principal Gu made an opening remark, and then briefly introduced Cao Yang.

  "The person who is going to give you a speech today may not be unfamiliar to all of you, but there may be some people who don’t know him.

  He used to be one of them.

  He used to be a student of National Tsing Hua University and a member of the 2000 graduates of the Department of Computer Science and Technology.

  But after graduation, he made many achievements and became a very outstanding young entrepreneur.

  We are fortunate enough to invite him back to his alma mater to give a speech.

  Next, let us welcome Cao Yang, CEO of Bomi Technology Co., Ltd. "

   There was thunderous applause below.

  Everyone stood up from their seats, eagerly looking forward, and applauded Cao Yang.

   Cao Yang showed a charming smile, while walking up from the side stage, then came to Principal Gu’s side and gave him a light hug.

  When President Gu left the stage, Cao Yang stood in front of the podium.

  It can be seen that he is still so nervous.

  After all, this is his alma mater. After returning to school, I still feel a little touched in my heart when I am still facing my younger brothers and sisters to give speeches.

   Cao Yang raised his hand, stopped the thunderous applause below, then smiled and looked at everyone.

  "Dear Principal Gu, teachers of National Tsing Hua University, students and younger brothers and sisters, hello." Cao Yang said with a smile.

  Below was another thunderous applause.

  Cao Yang’s line of schoolmates and sisters, I don’t know how many people’s feelings have been brought closer.

  Suddenly become kind.

  His first sentence was not as the CEO of Bomi Technology Co., Ltd., but as a member of the National Tsing Hua University. It was very grounded in terms of position and identity.

   immediately won the love of many students:

   "Wow, Cao Yang is much younger than I thought."

   "I feel he really doesn't have any airs at all, he is very kind."

   "As expected to be a member of my school, it is really different. I don't forget my alma mater and I know how to be grateful. This is the boss Cao in my mind."

   "Hahaha... The title of Boss Cao is really awesome."

  ……

  The atmosphere at the scene was very warm. After everyone’s voices subsided, Cao Yang went on to say:

  "If you don’t know me well, let me introduce myself a little bit.

  I was admitted to the Department of Computer Science and Technology of National Tsing Hua University in 1996 and became one of them. "

   "Fuck, is it okay to send me?"

  Although most of the people present here are students from National Taiwan University, and none of them stand out as those who make the students in the same area feel scared, but when they heard Boss Cao said that he was a escort, everyone still felt sour.

  Speaking of this, Cao Yang showed a meaningful smile on his face.

Because he remembered [Beijing University is OK] in his previous life. At the talk show, Sa Bening also said the same thing. He was also sent to Peking University. At that time, he thought he should go to school, but he was too far away from home to not go. Well, Peking University is also okay.

   But now that Cao Yang is standing on this very serious occasion, it is not suitable for making jokes about [National Tsing Hua University].

  He could only change his words and say, “It’s really the luck of my life to be admitted to National National Taiwan University.”

  The following immediately cheered for him and applauded boss Cao.

   "Thanks to my former teachers and my former classmates. Without their help, there would be no me who I am today. Thanks."

   Applause sounded again.

   "Principal Gu invited me last week and wanted me to give a speech for the students of National Tsing Hua University."

   "I was a little confused, what did I say I want to give a speech?"

  Cao Yang laughed self-deprecatingly, “President Gu told me, whatever you want to talk about, as long as you can give some useful advice to the future students of Qing University.

  It seems that there is basically no scope for me, but——

  It's hard for me to do it.

  A composition without a proposition, I don’t know where to start.

  And what is useful advice?

  I thought about this for a long time, tossing and turning, and awake at night. I only fell asleep at 11 o'clock last night. "

The students below    laughed.

  I didn’t expect that Boss Cao would go to bed so early. This is simply the old life he lived. He was so embarrassed to say that he couldn’t sleep at night?

"As for the advice to everyone, I feel that many celebrities have already said a lot," Cao Yang said. "It is difficult for me to think of anything new that can inspire you, and I will not be told by others that I am plagiarizing. them."

  He smiled, "You know, what I do is afraid of being called plagiarism by others."

  The following laughed immediately.

  Cao Yang touched his chest and asked himself. Having done so many games and projects, it can be regarded as a reference at best, not as a particularly serious copy.

  Can copying something from the future count as plagiarism?

  Not to mention Cao Yang has changed a lot.

  So he can now say this without blushing.

  "But, for a while, I couldn't find anything to talk about, and I didn't give a lecture in the university, and it was in such a sacred hall of knowledge as National Tsing Hua University.

  So I thought about it, or else let’s take a look at how other people give speeches first, so I can find a reference to avoid bad influence on you due to the deviation. "

  After Cao Yang said this sentence, there was another burst of laughter at the scene.

  Everyone sighed--

   "Boss Cao is really funny. I just said that I was afraid of others saying that he was plagiarizing and that he was not innovative. At this moment, I will start to look for other people's speeches as a reference."

   "Hahaha, really, I think Boss Cao is really cute."

  ……

  Cao Yang smiled and said, “Everyone knows about Jobs’s speech at Stanford last year? He said these two sentences in the speech——

  Stayhungry, stayfoolish.

   Translated by the domestic media as "thirst for knowledge, humbleness as stupid"

Does    sound particularly reasonable, with philosophical depth, and style? "

  Everyone nodded.

  Many people know Jobs and Apple, but they don’t know that Apple is also making mobile phones, let alone that Boss Cao blocked the way of Apple mobile phones.

   "But," Cao Yang frowned, "I thought about it carefully and found that if Jobs's sentence is translated in this way, it doesn't match his personal settings.

  Jobs was a cannibal beast at work. He had a grumpy temper and was not humble at all. "

  After Cao Yang said this sentence, there was another uproar below.

   "Gosh, is Boss Cao saying bad things about Jobs?"

   "It seems to be a fact, right? But Boss Cao said it would have a different flavor. It would be nice if Jobs was on the scene."

   "Hahaha, I especially look forward to seeing Boss Cao quarreling with Jobs one day."

  ……

  In fact, since the day when Cao Yang decided to make a Bomi mobile phone, he has become an opponent of Jobs, so now I can use Jobs to tease, and I will be able to stir up the topic in the future.

  When Apple’s mobile phone conference is held next year, it is estimated that many people will take out today’s video and have a look——

  Oh, it turns out that Boss Cao was already ready to fight Jobs!

  It's quite interesting to think about it.

  At that time, it will still win a lot of attention.

  Cao Yang coughed and said calmly, "Then how do you understand this sentence?

  I think from the perspective of Jobs’s psychology, he only said one thing——

   Desire to win.

   and the persistence regardless of what others say. "

Um……

  The scene became very silent, and everyone fell into contemplation.

  Many people don’t know Jobs, but those who learn computer probably all know it.

  It is indeed similar to what Cao Yang said. Steve Jobs is a perfectionist, and sometimes he is a little bit paranoid.

  But this may be the key to his success.

"Carnegie said that only paranoia can succeed. Jobs told us that not only do you have to be paranoid, you have to be crazy." Cao Yang continued, "Then I wanted to use their success today and the key to their speech. I changed my words and made it the theme of my speech today."

  Cao Yang smiled and said, "I wanted to say, I will talk about two points today, the first one is called—

  Believe in the power of dreams.

  Everyone knows that Bomi has been doing business for 6 years, and the scale has become quite large.

  Bomi started out as a game. What is a game?

  The game we played when we were young was to make mud and play house, and then I came into contact with the first game console in my life when I was a teenager——

  Xiaobawang learning machine. "

  When I heard the words [Little Overlord Learning Machine], there was an uproar below.

   "Fuck... Boss Cao is the same as me."

   "My God... Me too."

   "Have you forgotten? Boss Cao is actually a post-80s. He is only 26 years old this year. Of course he is almost like us."

   "Fuck, is Boss Cao such a young man?"

   "I'm sorry, sorry, I always feel like a successful person like Boss Cao, he is also 30 or 40 years old, and I was a little scared to hear him at such a young age."

   "Yes," Cao Yang gestured with his hands, "The first game I played at the time was Nintendo's Super Mario. When I played this game, I was actually very shocked.

  Gosh, this game is too fun, right?

  How could there be such a genius design?

  Later, this incident planted a seed in my young heart.

  I just thought, one day in the future, I will make such a fun game. "

"Then, I was studying all the way and thinking all the way, trying to understand how to make great video games. Later, I came to National Tsing Hua University and entered the Department of Computer Science, because this is the closest place to my dream. .

  Then after learning the basics of computer hardware and programming for a long time, I found that——

  Just learning to program is not enough for you to make great games.

  So I taught myself painting again.

  If you have seen Bomi’s scriptures of mountains and seas and the original paintings of girls with guns, you can probably understand my level of drawing. "

  There was another uproar below.

   "Fuck... Did you hear that, what did Cao Yang just say? He actually taught himself painting?"

  "The key is to learn painting by yourself, Shan Hai Jing! That is Shan Hai Jing, the most beautiful and most Chinese game I have ever played. I didn't expect that the original painting of the game was actually painted by Boss Cao himself."

   "This is too great, right? Is Boss Cao a genius?"

   "I...I can't believe it... Boss Cao recommended to National Tsing Hua University, he can program and paint, and he feels that every ability he can crush us... God, what kind of monster is this?"

   "I can only sigh that God is so unfair, how can you put all your advantages on one person?"

  ……

  After everyone’s voices gradually subsided.

"Yes, I went all the way to the present to make games, for a teenage dream, I learned programming for it, and painting for games." Cao Yang paused, then his face appeared. With a triumphant smile, "Now, I can proudly say that my dream has come true, and we have made a great game, a world-class game.

  This is the power of dreams. "

   There was thunderous applause, and countless people applauded Cao Yang.

   Next to President Gu exchanged opinions and eyes with the leaders of several schools. Everyone was pleased with Mr. Cao’s speech today.

  ……

   "Then, the second point I wanted to talk about is—" Cao Yang paused and said, "I believe in the power of persisting in dreams."

   "How many things I did to make the game, I can give you a breakdown."

A charming smile appeared on Cao Yang’s face, “I just said, I want to play games, how much do I think of? I entered the National Tsing Hua University, studied programming, and then taught myself painting. After doing this, I suddenly understood one thing. Reason, I can't accomplish everything by myself.

  So I own a game company.

  My father left this company to me. "

  Everyone below smiled knowingly.

  "But he left me with a very good team, who made our game do as it is now and become a very powerful game company.

  In order to make the game better, in order to make the game better, in order to let more people play the game we made...

  So I acquired Penguin, and everyone knew what happened later. Penguin brought us hundreds of millions of users, and we promoted our game through QQ.

  Then we did “Three Kingdoms Online”, “Audition”, “Shan Hai Jing”, and “Assassin’s Soul”...

  A series of popular products.

  In order to make our game develop better, we made the AIR game platform.

  Later, this platform became the game platform with the largest number of users in the world, and it supported a large part of game manufacturers and teams to let the world see their work.

  Up to now, we have made Bomi smart phones in order to make games better and sell them better. "

  A triumphant smile appeared on Cao Yang's face.

  There was an uproar below.

  Countless people stood up and applauded Boss Cao.

   "My God, it's too great, right?"

   "Boss Cao is crazy for making games, and he can produce so many terrible products for making games."

   "Bomi smart phones can be made, too imaginative, right? I can't believe that the origin of all this is just because Boss Cao played a super Mario when he was a child?"

  ……

   "From when I was a teenager, I have persisted until now," Cao Yang said with some sigh, "This is the power to persist in dreams."

  Everyone stood up, and thunderous applause rang out for a long time.

   "But what I want to tell you now is that after I thought about the two points I just said, my mind changed."

   "Huh?" Everyone looked confused.

  We heard a loneliness just now, didn’t we?

   Boss Cao spoke very well.

  "It's not that there is a problem with chasing dreams," Cao Yang frowned and said, "The key lies in what the dream is and where is the driving force behind it."

   "At first, I thought my dream was to make games.

  But, after I delved into it myself, I discovered that the dream at this level was too superficial.

  What I really want to do——

  In fact, games are used as the carrier to spread Chinese culture to the world. At the same time, games are used as the carrier to enrich people's spiritual life and bring people joy, perception, and thinking. These are the real meanings of making games.

  Games are ultimately a cultural carrier. If you ignore this, then your dreams will be difficult to realize. "

  "Every era, people have two dreams." Cao Yang said, "One is the common dream of the big era. The other is the personal dream of the big era.

  During the War of Resistance Against Japan, what is our dream of the big era——

   is seeking liberation and reunification of the motherland.

  People under the background of that era are all striving for this goal.

  It is precisely because of this that countless martyrs will go forward and succeed, willing to die for the country.

  And now, what is the common dream of the great era?

  The country is prosperous, and the nation is prosperous and strong. "

   "Without this big dream, my game dream can't fly.

  So what I want to say now is--

  Dreams must be rooted in patriotism. If personal interests are not tied to the country, such dreams are not worth flying, nor can they fly. "

   "The moment Shan Hai Jing went out of the country and was accepted by the world and praised by countless people, I really felt it--

  My dreams are flying. "

  ……

"You have the opportunity to surpass your peers. At least in terms of learning ability, I believe that everyone here is very good, and IQ is definitely not low," said Cao Yang. "If nothing else, everyone will be very good in the future. The future will be successful.

  But, I hope today’s words can give you a reminder——

  No matter what we do in the future, what industry we are engaged in, especially when you already have a high social status and wealth, please look down and take a look——

  Are you firmly stepping on the land of the motherland?

  Are you worthy of your country, worthy of the people, and whether your dreams are tied to them. "

  Everyone lowered their heads and thought, feeling that in the end Boss Cao had sublimated all his ideas.

  Before this, most of the speeches of celebrities, especially those of business leaders, were mostly about [innovation] [personal achievement] [persistence] [love]...

  Many people tell you what to do to succeed.

  But few people are like Cao Yang, telling you that before doing something, you must first be at ease. Only when you are patriotic will you succeed.

  ……

   "So, I want to say that the previous ones are not important.

  You will always find your own path, and everyone has their own life script.

  The most important thing is that no matter where we go or what we do in the future, we must have a patriotism. "

  Speaking of this, Cao Yang bowed to everyone.

   "Thank you, this is the end of my speech today."

  Everyone stood up, applauded to Boss Cao one after another, and there was thunderous applause.

  Long time without rest.

  ……
