Chapter 1052 American Idol
The touching and excited Mark Zuckerberg was a little overly nervous in front of Li Mu.
Standing opposite him, Li Mu could clearly see his violently beating eyelids, slightly twitching chin and corners of his mouth.
Even Mark Zuckerberg himself did not expect that Li Mu would have helped him resolve the crisis that was discovered, but he would still be so nervous.
Facing Li Mu's hand stretched out, Mark Zuckerberg was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses at the reminder of David Allen, and hurriedly reached out to Li Mu: "Hello Mr. Li, my name is Mark Zuckerberg, you can call me Mark."
Li Mu smiled friendly to him, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello Mark, I'm not much older than you, you can also call me Li Mu directly."
Mark Zuckerberg nodded flatteredly and said in panic: "Hello Mr. Li Mu..."
Li Mu laughed and did not continue to talk to Mark Zuckerberg, but instead designated David Allen as the main object of communication.
David Allen is the top manager sent by Harvard, and he is the representative of the entire Harvard.
David Allen told Li Mu: "We have prepared rooms for you and your subordinates in the VIP building of the school. The Cambridge Police Department has already carried out safety controls in the school. You can rest there tonight. Before tomorrow's speech begins, the police and FBI will conduct strict safety and counter-terrorism investigations, so you can rest assured."
Li Mu nodded. Just over a year after 911, Americans are indeed still scared.
The original plan was that after the group came, they would stay in a hotel in Boston first, and then go to Harvard to give a speech, and then withdraw after the speech.
However, media reporters including CCTV, as well as many local American TV stations and newspapers are now waiting at Harvard. Therefore, out of respect for the media, Li Mu must first go to Harvard, meet the principal, and then hold a simple media reception together to answer some media questions.
According to the arrangement, Li Mu also had to visit the Harvard campus with the Harvard school leaders. The media will follow up and shoot during the visit, which is also an important part of Li Mu's public trip to Harvard.
On the one hand, Li Mu respected Harvard and various media, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take further power from the media, so he did not reject this series of arrangements.
David Allen and Harvard management accompanied Li Mu and Li Mu's subordinates, and the bodyguards boarded the luxury bus specially arranged by Harvard. Before getting on the bus, Li Mu did not forget to look back at Mark Zuckerberg, and smiled and said to him: "Hey Mark, you get on first, I'll sit with you."
Not only Mark Zuckerberg, but even David Allen was a little shocked. Unexpectedly, Li Mu was so concerned about Mark Zuckerberg. Not only was he very polite in his words, but he also attached great importance to the young Mark Zuckerberg, a young man. David Allen even thought that Mark Zuckerberg's relative must be an executive of Muye Technology, otherwise how could Li Mu be so polite to him?
Mark Zuckerberg, who was originally a little at a loss, was flattered and nodded quickly and trotted to Li Mu. Li Mu took the opportunity to push him behind him and let him get in the car first.
After getting on the bus first, Mark Zuckerberg pointed to the right position of the second row, then looked back at Li Mu, and asked nervously: "Can we sit here?"
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Of course, you can sit inside."
Mark Zuckerberg nodded quickly and sat in. Li Mu sat next to him. David Allen originally wanted to sit with this Chinese college student who was a super genius and rich man to represent himself and Harvard to enhance his feelings with him. Now he could only sigh in his heart while sitting on Li Mu's left hand across the left.
"It may be that Li Mu prefers to contact his peers." David Allen thought comfortingly.
After Li Mu sat down, he asked Mark Zuckerberg beside him like an older brother caring about his younger brother: "Mark, what major are you studying at Harvard?"
Mark Zuckerberg said nervously: "Computer professional."
"Oh?" Li Mu said in surprise: "Then do you have a deep understanding of the Internet?"
Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly and humbly replied: "Mr. Li, you are the Internet giant in my mind. Compared to you, I am just a student who knows nothing and has not learned anything."
Li Mu smiled and shook his head, saying, "If you want to say that, I am just a college student from an unknown university in China. The university I work in is not even ranked among the top 500 universities in the world. Moreover, I am not a computer major. My major in college is finance."
After saying that, seeing Mark Zuckerberg looking surprised, Li Mu said again: "And you are different. You are studying in the world's number one university and you are studying computer science. In this way, you are much better than me."
In fact, Li Mu sometimes stands up for his alma mater. Renmin University is indeed a very good school, but because its political color is a bit rich, it is not very recognized internationally, and its ranking is a bit outrageous.
Although Mark Zuckerberg has studied a lot of Li Mu's life, the information he found in the United States is not detailed. He does not know that Li Mu himself was studying in an unknown university and did not major in computer science.
When Mark Zuckerberg thought that Li Mu was not a computer major, but was able to achieve dazzling results that attracted the attention of the world in such a short time, he felt as if he was stormy in his heart. He found that his admiration for his peers around him had reached an unimaginable extreme.
Mark Zuckerberg couldn't help asking him: "Mr. Li, then can you tell me why you are so talented in the Internet industry?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "There will be a question session in tomorrow's speech. If you are interested, you can raise your hand to ask questions on the spot. I will answer your question."
...
Li Mu took the special car picked up by Harvard and quickly marched towards Harvard University. At this time, Li Mu never dreamed that he would have as many crazy fans as Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard.
When he heard that Li Mu was coming, Harvard fell into an unprecedented fanaticism. Before that, even if the US president came to Harvard to give a speech, it might not have allowed Harvard students to have such a unified national fanaticism.
The United States is a country with a clear political stance. Most college students have their own political stance and parties they prefer. If a student's political stance is biased towards the Democratic Party, then a president from the Republican Party who comes to school to give a speech, he may sneer at it, and vice versa.
But facing Li Mu, no matter how students tend to be politically stance, they will not have any disgust with Li Mu, because Li Mu is the biggest idol and benchmark for them. A young man who is just like them, Harvard college students, who is still in college can create so many remarkable achievements in the Internet industry. This is simply the most perfect fantasy in their daydreams every day. So when such a miraculous person is about to come to their school, you can imagine how excited they will be!
Li Mu is not only being paid attention to on university campuses in the United States, but now he is being paid attention to the entire United States and even the entire developed countries.
At present, Paradise Town and YY are the hottest news in American society. As the founder of these two products and the boss of the two companies, Li Mu naturally received close attention from the American media. What's more, financial media are now considering Li Mu's total value, which has brought Li Mu more social attention.
Li Mu is a major shareholder in Muye Technology, Muye Games, and Taobao.com. According to the valuations of these three companies, they are at least 20 to 30 billion US dollars. However, Li Mu is not able to make it on any authoritative wealth rankings yet, and the reason for this is very simple:
First of all, Li Mu himself has very few physical assets. Compared with his value, his actual assets are less than one-tenth of a dozen, and the rest are just valuations;
Secondly, the valuation is very different from the market value. The value of the valuation does not have real credibility. Assuming that Li Mu's Muye Technology's valuation is worth US$22 billion, however, this valuation cannot be verified until no one actually invests in Muye Technology with this valuation;
Moreover, even if Li Mu is now raising US$22 billion in financing, this valuation is only aimed at this financing behavior. In the entire capital market, it lacks credibility. Therefore, if you really want to count your credible value, you must wait for Li Mu's company to go public, even if only one company goes public first.
The market value of an enterprise in the securities market is the value data that the enterprise has truly credible, and the value calculated based on the market value after listing is the real value.
However, even though Li Mu's current value is still difficult to give an authoritative determination, the whole United States is very clear that once Li Mu's company can be listed in the United States, Li Mu will inevitably become a super rich man with assets of tens of billions of dollars.
Most industry news is difficult to become a hot topic in the whole society, but two industries only touch the hearts of Americans, one is the sports industry and the other is the financial industry.
Americans advocate sports, especially football. Every year's Super Bowl is even more frightening in the United States than the domestic Spring Festival Gala;
Americans also advocate money. Even children can know Wall Street's big shots as they like. Bill Gates is one of the best spokespersons of the American Dream in the eyes of Americans.
The so-called "American Dream" is actually the ability to get everything that belongs to you in the land of the United States. Those super rich people who grow up step by step on themselves are the true portrayal of the American Dream.
Although Li Mu is not an American, he is writing another American dream at this moment, an American dream that is so fast that even Americans cannot believe it, and an American dream that is even more miraculous!
Therefore, Li Mu can be regarded as an idol of the whole American people!
