Chapter 728 The Fourth Industrial Revolution?
Since Dr. Moore proposed Moore's Law in 1965, the performance of computer processors and memories has increased by 20 million times and 1 billion times respectively.
The price is constantly falling, so that it can be applied to all walks of life and all aspects of life.
From this we can make a similar conclusion again.
Existing industries + Moore’s Law = new industries.
So many people say that.
The emergence of computers has given rise to mankind’s ‘third technological revolution’.
I strongly agree with this.
Computers have profoundly changed the production and life of human society, giving rise to many industries that did not originally exist.
For example, the chip industry, software industry and hardware industry.
Industrial giants such as Intel, Microsoft, and IBM were born.
But human development continues, and our story is not over.
In 1969, mankind’s first Internet ‘ARPAnet’ was born.
Although it is very primitive and only used in the military, it has broken the most difficult process from 0 to 1.
In 1978, the then-famous Bell Labs proposed UNIX and the UNIX copy protocol, which laid the foundation for the development of the Internet.
In 1989, another major event occurred in the history of popularizing Internet applications.
Tim Berners-Lee and others at CERN, proposed a protocol for classifying information on the Internet.
This protocol, called WWW (World Wide Web) after 1991, is based on the hypertext protocol.
A linking system that embeds text within another text. When you read these pages, you can use them to select a text link at any time.
In 1994, a Chinese-American and an English-American founded the now world-famous Internet giant Yahoo in a trailer at Stanford University. ”
Yang Zhiyuan showed a smile on his face.
He was very satisfied with Xu Liang’s statement that Yahoo was an ‘Internet giant’.
“The establishment of Yahoo has enabled almost all Internet users in the world to understand most of the world’s news through Yahoo’s web pages without leaving home.
Its emergence , once again narrowing the psychological distance between everyone in the world
Give the 'global village' a real basis.
Yahoo is not the only one. Internet companies such as Hongmeng, Amazon, eBay, Google, Netflix, etc. have appeared one after another.
The emergence of Hongmeng Bing and Google has profoundly changed the advertising industry.
In the past advertising industry, advertising was very broad. Advertisers could not accurately understand whether the ads they placed were effective, or how effective they were?
Hongmeng Bing and Google, for the first time, allow advertisers to clearly understand the number of user clicks and conversion rates after advertising is placed, and the charges are lower than traditional advertising.
Amazon and eBay have changed the traditional commercial retail model.
In traditional retail, even if you go to the largest shopping mall, you can only see no more than 100,000 products.
But on online e-commerce websites, you can check out millions or even millions of products.
In addition, layer after layer of distributors have been eliminated, making the price of goods cheaper and saving expenses.
There are many similar business models.
But this is far from the end, but just the beginning.
The Internet will have a profound impact on all aspects of business and economy. In the future, please note, I am talking about all industries that do not embrace the Internet, and will be eliminated by society!
Here we have the birth of the fourth formula.
Existing industries + Internet = new industries.
Everyone, we are lucky to stand at the window of the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution'. If we seize your company, we can become the next Hongmeng and the next Amazon.
And you will become a world-class rich man, even the richest man in the world.
If you can't catch it, then I'm sorry, this world will never give mercy to losers. ”

“The Fourth Industrial Revolution?”——The Economist.
“Is it a prophecy of genius or an echo of hubris?”——New York Times.
"Existing Industries + Internet = New Industries" - News Weekly.
"He predicted the future!" ”—Fortune Magazine.
On the second day after the Hanhua North America Investment Reception, all major mainstream media and business weeklies around the world published Xu Liang’s speech at the reception as front-page headlines.
Even "Times" deliberately put Xu Liang's image on the cover of the "Global Edition".
With the text ‘Prophet’, but there is a question mark after it.
Now Xu Liang is already the world's top business tycoon because of Hanhua and Hongmeng, as well as the publication of the Forbes Rich List.
With the help of major media, it soon spread to all parts of the world.
It soon caused an uproar in the global business community.
Those who agree with him think he is a genius.
Those who are jealous of him think that he is young, arrogant and ignorant, and he just wants to point out the country after he has achieved some achievements. He has no idea what he means.
Despite the external disturbances, Xu Liang still sits firmly on Diaoyutai.
"Xu, there are countless reporters outside now who want to interview you."
Bill Gates looked at the man wearing a straw hat and fishing quietly next to him and said with a smile.
"Bill, this is why I don't want to be interviewed. Fame is a burden to me." Xu Liangdao.
"When we reach our current heights, we will definitely become the focus of media attention. It is inevitable."
Xu Liang sighed, "That's why I came to hide with you for two days."< br>
Old Gates smiled and said, "You can live here forever if you want."
In fact, Xu Liang only came here occasionally during the day.
“Xu, are you really so optimistic about the future of the Internet?”
“This should be a no-doubt question, otherwise why should I do Hongmeng?”
“Hongmeng That’s great, but you scared a lot of people by referring to the Internet as the fourth industrial revolution.”
"Frightened?"
Xu Liang smiled and shook his head, "Probably he was laughing at me for not overestimating my abilities."
At this time, a tall woman walked away carrying a tray. come over.
There are cut fruits inside.
“Xu, here.”
"Thank you, Melinda."
"You're welcome." After giving the old Gates a share as well.
"Xu, Bill and I like little Carlos very much and hope to adopt him as our godson." Melinda said suddenly.
Old Gates also smiled and nodded.
"Xu, little Carlos is a cute child. We liked him very much when we first met."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Xu Liang nodded after thinking about it briefly.
Whether Old Gates really likes him or simply wants to strengthen the relationship with him in this way, Xu Liang has no intention of refusing.
With the relationship of the Gates family, the Xu family will be more stable in North America in the future.
“Okay.”
"Thank you, Xu." Melinda smiled.
"Little Carlos is lucky to have you as his godfather and godmother." Xu Liang said with a smile.
Dingle bell….
The phone rang.
After picking it up.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Moretz from Sequoia hopes to meet you." Lu Hui said.
“Did you mention anything?”
“No.”
“I understand, I will meet him on the yacht in the afternoon.”
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone.
"Bill and Melinda, we originally planned to stay a few more days, but now it seems that it is impossible."
"Xu, our place is open to you at any time." Old Gates said .
"Thank you."
The couple personally sent Xu Liang out of the manor.
Looking at the car shadow in the distance.
"Bill, are you really optimistic about him?"
Old Gates nodded affirmatively.
“He has achieved amazing results. I have never seen anyone like him who has achieved such brilliant achievements at this age.”
“Many people are not optimistic about his achievements. The future." Melinda said.
"Think he is young?"
"Yes. Young people are always very irritable."
"Dear, when I first met him, I had the same idea as you, But after more than three years, I have never seen any stubbornness, pride and rashness in him. Instead, I have seen maturity, stability and restraint."
" Reserved? His speech just rocked the world," Melinda couldn't help but remind.
"This is normal. With Xu Liang's current status, if he does something a little outrageous, it will become a global business headline the next day.
In fact, from his success to now, He rarely attends business receptions and private banquets, and he never messes around outside.
And he never makes a big deal about it in the media like Ellison. Some successful people cannot do this.
Coupled with his age, this is even more rare.
Young, disciplined, smart, and with extraordinary business talent, I can't figure out why he failed. "
"Is this why you are optimistic about him? ”
“Isn’t this enough? "
"I admit that what you said is correct. But don’t forget, a Chinese-American will never have a place in the United States. "
Old Gates sighed softly, "Melinda, the world is very big, and the United States is not the only country.
China's economy is developing very fast, and that is a market we cannot miss.
Having Xu Liang as an ally can help us solve a lot of troubles. "
Melinda was shocked. She had never thought of this.
"Bill, maybe we should consider preparing a better gift for our godson now. "
Old Gates smiled and held her hand.
"That's right."
——
After leaving Gates' home, Xu Liang drove to a private dock.
A white luxury yacht is parked on the dock.
During this period, due to harassment from reporters.
He couldn't go to his home and company in Silicon Valley, so he rented a yacht as his temporary office and residence.
It just so happened that he had been busy with work during this period, and he was tired, so he came out to relax.
“Boss.”
Lu Hui greeted him.
Xu Liang nodded and asked, "What time did you make the appointment with the Sequoia people?"
"3 o'clock in the afternoon."
"Remind me when they arrive."
"Okay."
After entering the yacht, Fukuda Shinmi and Nagasawa Masami happily greeted Come up.
“Xu Jun…….”
He hugged the two of them into his arms and kissed each other's soft red lips.
“Didn’t you go out to play?”
The two shook their heads.
"Xu Jun, I have good news for you." Futian Xinmei said happily.
"Good news?"
