A few days later, the Economic Person of the Year Awards Ceremony was officially broadcast on the financial channel.

The gambling game between Junzi and Aunt Dong appeared in the public eye and also sparked heated discussions among netizens.

As we all know, Lei Jun is in high spirits this year. Millions of Mi fans worship him as a god and have come out to support him.

[Mr. Lei’s light assets are an advantage! ]

[All employees are engaged in research and development, and will soon surpass Gree! ]

[Xiaomi will also make an air conditioner by then! A slap on Aunt Dong’s face! ]

【.】

Of course, Aunt Dong also has many fans.

In other words, some rational people and those who dislike Mr. Lei in their hearts will also have to step down and sing against this group of people.

[To put it nicely, it is asset-light. To put it bluntly, Xiaomi is also an assembly company, right? ]

[As Lei Jun said, if there is an Internet bubble, it will be gone. Can you compare with the risk-bearing capacity of those who are engaged in industry? ]

[Haha, I hope Xiaomi will make an air conditioner, but before making an air conditioner, let’s first learn how to use the mobile phone. ]

[Besides monkey shows and marketing, what else can you do? 】

[Isn't this just hype again? ]

【.】

Junzi and Aunt Dong didn't pay much attention to this billion-dollar bet.

Apart from discussions on the Internet, the official authorities did not actually carry out any major publicity.

Because the amount is so large, the impact is always somewhat negative.

Yang Xiao didn't stay in Yanjing for long before returning to Shenzhen. He had to prepare for the final exams.

Perhaps it was because of the bet he made before, plus the teacher's leniency, he really did not fail any subject this time, and passed with just 60 points.

Someone posted Yang Xiao's transcript online, causing netizens to become angry.

[I’m so angry! He won this time! ]

[What happened to the teacher at Shenzhen University? I guess it’s not just water release, it’s opening the floodgates, right? ]

[Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Yang has been in school for a long time this semester, and the teachers almost recognize him! ]

【Hahaha! 】

[It’s a pity that I didn’t get to fleece the capitalists! ]

[Quick, Mr. Yang has posted a donation form on his Weibo. He said that he is donating 5 million to charity to celebrate the fact that he did not fail the exam! ]

【Mr. Yang is awesome! 】

【The trench is inhumane! 】

Time flies and we have entered 2014 again.

In February, Tencent announced the acquisition of a 2% stake in Dianping.com, and the group buying war officially began.

Let’s start spending money!
There must be a winner!
Now, netizens are really blessed.

Various "one yuan purchase" and "one cent purchase" products were sold out in seconds.

They all called him a conscientious capitalist!
Many businesses are also blessed.

In order to invite them to join, the platform can obtain huge traffic by giving away some profits!
In recent years, many businesses have made a lot of money.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to get involved in the price war.

Fortunately, he has huge cash flow and can handle it.

Plus, he has connections with Tencent and Alibaba.

When faced with a market area where both Meituan and Dianping exist, the three parties tacitly restrain themselves.

Only when it comes to the last resort and it is unavoidable, will they start a price war with all their might.

Tencent has made big moves in the group buying market, and Alibaba is not far behind.

This year they directly spent a huge amount of money to acquire [Tiantian Dongting]!
The online music market at this moment can be said to be in a state of panic!

The end of the giant capital is that some old music software companies are acquired.

But here, no matter whether it is old Ma or young Ma, Yang Xiao is not afraid of them at all!
Yang Xiao has more say!

This year, he also made big news.

His [Time Music Group] directly acquired [KuGou Music] by exchanging shares!

Xie Guomin and Kugou Music's CEO Xie Zhenyu serve as co-CEOs.

After the merger, Kugou Music and Shiguang Cloud Music operated independently, but there was no longer any war between them. Instead, they maintained coordinated operations.

First there was [Kuwo], then there was [Kugou], and now with [Shiguang Cloud Music], they can be said to be three powerful weapons!
It’s that time when lawsuits are flying everywhere again!

After expanding his music library, Xie Guomin decided to turn his guns outward!

The gun is aimed at Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu!

It’s time to put pressure on the three “BAT” companies!

Damn it, while being timid in the group buying market, Yang Xiao directly struck out with a strong punch in the online music market!
We are currently going through various processes.

Infringement lawsuits, music removal, and compensation are the methods Xie Guomin used to deal with Kuwo and Kugou, and his legal team also has plenty of experience.

This year, Xiaomi's development has also been explosive.

Junzi specially released a promotional video before the Spring Festival Gala, which only revealed one theme - youth.

In addition to the groundwork, in March, the Redmi Note, a cost-effective machine priced at around 1,000 yuan, was released.

In the middle of the year, the 4G mobile phone Xiaomi 4 also came out. It still claimed to be a competitor to Apple and was the king of cost-effectiveness among domestic mobile phones.

At the same time, the Xiaomi bracelet priced at 79 yuan was also released!

It’s sold out again!

Subsequently, Junzi began to launch routers, Xiaomi boxes, Xiaomi TVs, smart sockets, Xiaoyi smart cameras, Yeelight smart bulbs, etc., and various new products emerged one after another.

Xiaomi Home also took shape at this time.

Perhaps this year, in Junzi's heart, it might take less than four years to win over his Aunt Dong.

The video website landscape has also undergone major changes this year.

With Alibaba as its backing, Youku is now number one, and Tencent Video is also constantly making efforts and is following closely behind.

This year, iQiyi accepted investments from Baidu and Xiaomi and became one of the first-tier video websites.

The three-way competition among iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video has gradually taken shape.

Since Tudou.com's failed IPO, it has been getting worse and worse every year and is gradually declining.

At the end of the year, Yang Xiao acquired Xu Yi's shares, completed the reorganization of Bilibili, and joined in all of a sudden, and the situation suddenly became divided into four parts.

Well, the video websites have also started a real copyright war.

However, although video copyright is a shortcoming on Bilibili's side, it has no shortage of animation IP and copyright, and it always has a group of senior two-dimensional users more than the other three.

This is also the reason why I was able to join in!
In the takeout industry, Yang Xiao’s [Food Benefit Group] has become the dominant player.

But the market is too large and is still burning money. However, by the end of the year, some regions such as Yanjing and Shanghai have begun to make profits.

In the middle of the year, Yang Xiao cleaned up a business he was doing.

That means he sold the [Quick Teeth] in his hand!

In fact, it hasn't even started to show signs of decline yet, but Yang Xiao doesn't want to wait until the last moment.

By the way, the company that took over was 360.

Well. Use it for advertising. It’s the specialty of the Red-robed Leader.

In fact, Tencent also had the intention and sent someone to contact Yang Xiao.

But based on the principle that 360 offers a higher bid, Yang Xiao can also recover some funds.

In addition, because he didn't want to have too much trouble with "Senior Brother Ma" in the future, Yang Xiao was kind enough to sell it to the Red-robed Leader.

Of course, the most profitable one is Yang Xiao’s big entertainment business.

[Wanhe Tianyi] and [Shiguang Culture Media] can be said to have already mastered some of the voice in the industry!

It’s not like he’s without competition.

Alibaba’s entertainment business and Tencent’s entertainment department should not be underestimated.

But it's not enough to just have money here.

Who can guarantee that you will make money by investing in a movie or training an artist?

It is possible to lose all your money!
But Yang Xiao can do it!

In recent years, the box office champion movies have all come from Wanhe Tianyi.

The current popular young actresses and singers were also trained by his company.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Xiao is simply a genius in the entertainment industry!

So, this is the place where he has a smooth sailing and can make the most money!

But Yang Xiao is not very high-profile.

Because, in this industry, there appeared someone who was even more high-profile than him.

That’s Boss Jia who will be returning to China next week!

He has also recruited many big-name artists and stars under his banner.

For example, Lao Mouzi, Guo Xiaosi, Huang Xiaoming, Sun Li, Deng Chao, Liu Tao, Jia Nailiang and so on.

These people were also deceived by Boss Jia and became cooperative shareholders!

Boss Jia also came to Yang Xiao to seek cooperation, but was finally sent away by Yang Xiao with a sentence "Study is more important, I don't have time". When the other party heard this extremely perfunctory reason, he almost vomited blood in anger!

Are you kidding? How could I fall for his trick?
What Yang Xiao is doing now is watching him build a tall building, watching him entertain guests, and then waiting for his building to collapse.

2015 is here.

Zhang Yiming's ByteDance is also doing well.

Software such as [Neihan Duanzi] has a large number of regular users by taking a vulgar approach.

On the other hand, Kuaishou, as the first short video application, has also become popular all over the country. Yang Xiao holds shares in both companies, and he is also the majority shareholder!
I can only say that the Internet is becoming more and more exciting!
Something big happened in the group buying market!
Because Ma wanted to fully control Meituan, he was strongly opposed by Wang Xing, who actually hooked up with Tencent!

Finally, Wang Xing came to Shenzhen and talked with Yang Xiao for several days.

Not long after, the market received the news that [Shihuituan] acquired [Dianping].

Immediately afterwards, big news about the merger between [Shihuituan] and [Meituan] came out!
As one of the major shareholders and a latecomer, Tencent is very satisfied with this situation.

Ali is the most unbelievable and the result he doesn’t want to see at all!

But he had no choice but to compromise.

As the largest shareholder, Yang Xiao continued to let Wang Xing serve as CEO, and the pattern of the group buying market was finally settled.

At the end of the year, the LOL division of the SG e-sports club actually won the LPL championship!
And it’s an all-Chinese class!
It took almost four years of training to achieve today’s results!
Therefore, in the e-sports industry, Yang Xiao became the first person to try something new!

However, also this year, national leaders mentioned the topic of "traffic is too expensive".

The policy of "speeding up and reducing fees" will also be introduced in two years.

Before that, Yang Xiao planned to gradually sell off his shares in [Qingsong Internet Technology].

However, Yang Xiao is not short of money, and he uses all the money to exchange for strategic resources.

Well, there is a long line of people waiting to take over this time!

The first person to take over is his good senior brother, who acts like no one can compete with him.

This is also why some rumors later emerged that Yang Xiao was a "top second generation" and a "time traveler".

Of course, everyone would rather believe the former.

Pull back the timeline.

November 2015.

Yang Xiao finally graduated!
At the graduation ceremony, a bunch of unfamiliar classmates took photos with him and at the same time, they met Yang Xiao’s mysterious girlfriend.

While Luo Yao was accompanying him, Yang Xiao also went to CUHK a few days ago. Holding flowers and checking in at each other in their bachelor's gowns, Yang Xiao successfully proposed to Luo Yao in the presence of many students.

After taking the graduation photos, Yang Xiao hurriedly took Luo Yao to the auditorium.

This was their department inviting him to give a speech as an outstanding graduate.

"Woo~"

"It's Yang Xiao!"

"Yang Xiao is awesome!"

"Yang Xiao is so handsome!"

When they saw Yang Xiao coming on stage, the students in the audience stood up and cheered excitedly for this top internet celebrity entrepreneur from their Shenzhen University.

Yang Xiao asked into the microphone in front of him: "Are you OK?"

"Hahaha, OK!"

The audience burst into laughter, knowing that Yang Xiao was joking.

In March, Lei Jun's remarks became popular all over the country.

Wang Sicong teased Mr. Lei and was scolded by his father. The matter of his apology the next day also became a hot topic and increased the popularity.

Yang Xiao’s speeches were all written by the school in advance.

It's nothing more than thanking the leaders, thanking the school, and what I have gained in the school over the past few years.

When the reading was almost finished, the host picked up the microphone and asked:

"Yang Xiao, as an outstanding graduate, do you have anything to say to your classmates and juniors?"

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:
"There's really not much to say. I'm sure everyone has heard enough of these empty truths.

Moreover, chicken soup for the soul is popular on the Internet now, I’m sure everyone has had enough of it, right?
If you haven’t had enough, you can go to Zhihu Q&A to have a look. I have also written some chicken soup.

Well, there are quite a lot of chicken soup literature on QQ space. You can choose freely. I won’t criticize Mr. Ma.

But, wouldn’t it be possible that even college students would still use QQ Space? "

"Hahaha."

When the audience heard Yang Xiao advertising his own platform and dissing Tencent at the same time, they laughed again.

"Okay, let's be serious. I'm going to give you a very practical word here.

Whether you graduated with me or have just enrolled, I hope that everyone can work hard and make a lot of money in the future.

In the next few years, it will still be a hot spot, don’t miss it! ”

"Senior Yang! Can you tell me what other opportunities there are going to be?"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the crowd.

Yang Xiao was interrupted, but he didn't get angry. He just smiled:

"My classmate, what's your major?"

"computer!"

"Then let me give you a suggestion. Mobile phones are gradually replacing the functions of computers. The software market is still a blue ocean. As long as what you make is useful, there will definitely be a market and you will definitely make money."

Seeing that someone's question was answered, others followed suit and started raising their hands.

The scene instantly turned into a question-and-answer session.

Yang Xiao pointed at a girl who was very excited and raised her hand high.

Seeing that she was not wearing a bachelor's degree gown, Yang Xiao knew that she was a junior schoolmate, so he asked:

"Schoolmate, do you have anything to ask?"

"Senior Yang, you are involved in so many industries and own so many companies. People on the Internet say that you are an Internet celebrity CEO with more fans than Lei Jun.

However, you know, the term "Internet celebrity" seems to have a bad reputation, but you don't seem to be resistant to this term?

Can you explain why?

Or, Senior Yang, do you want to keep this style forever?"

"The junior sister asked a very good question. I can extend this point. The development of the Internet has broadened the boundaries of interpersonal relationships.

Now, everyone in China knows Lao Ma, Xiao Ma, and even Lei Jun and me.

Here, I would like to ask you a question.

Is there any great company in the world that has a bad founder?

Wait, I made a mistake. I should say that, in my opinion, the first spokesperson for any company of a certain scale should not be a celebrity, but the founder of the company himself!
Including the number one spokesperson and the number one salesperson.

Well, Mr. Lei and I share the same idea.

In the eyes of the public, the founder's words, deeds, and personal values ​​should be closely linked to the company.

An enterprise’s values ​​are often a continuation of the values ​​of its founder.

Everyone here should know that I will reply to many messages from netizens, and I am even one of the netizens on the front line of surfing.

I like surfing the Internet. The Internet has made me who I am and I always show my true self on it.

In other words, it also reflects my entrepreneurial spirit.

That is - youth!
Actually, you can too.

For example, live streaming is very popular now. If you want to make money by showing your face on it, you can do that.

Well, welcome to Bilibili live broadcast."

"Well said, Senior!"

"Brilliant!"

The audience laughed and applauded thunderously.

The main reason is that Yang Xiao is so approachable, which is why everyone likes him.

Many people present here are really his fans!

"Senior Yang, you have created so many songs before, but you haven't produced any in the past one or two years. When will you write new songs?"

"Well, how about I improvise a song?"

"it is good!"

Yang Xiao cleared his throat, took the microphone handed to him by the host, and sang:

[Leave quietly, with loneliness]

【Crowded memories, erased by time】

[I have been wandering in Guangdong for four years]

When Yang Xiao sang to this point, he gestured with four fingers.

[Sometimes I miss the time when we were together, but things have changed]

【Let this sky connect you and me】

【.】

This song has very few lyrics, and before the audience could react, Yang Xiao had almost finished singing.

"Sounds good!"

"Senior Yang is so talented!"

Everyone applauded again.

Yang Xiao waited until the applause had almost reached its peak, then said into the microphone:

“Finally, I would like to borrow the first paragraph of A Tale of Two Cities to share with you.

This is the best of times, it is the worst of times;

This is the age of wisdom, this is the age of foolishness;
This is the age of trust, this is the age of doubt;

This is the season of Light, this is the season of Darkness;
This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of despair;
We have everything before us, and we have nothing before us!
In short, there are still many opportunities in this era, but these opportunities may also be accompanied by many risks.

Please take care of yourself, thank you all! "
