Zhou Buqi was a little nervous when he came to Tsinghua University to give a speech to college students.

He has given speeches too many times, mostly to people at the same level, such as company executives, or speeches from various viewpoints at gatherings of entrepreneurs.

However, people at the same level can understand what he is saying. Even if he is wrong, the discussion is private and everyone respects each other.

It's different for college students.

Even though they are students from Tsinghua University, they are still a group of young, enthusiastic college students with little experience. If you tell them "I am not interested in money", "refuse to be institutionalized", and "if you are bolder", they may be booed.

In this kind of speech to the public, you can only say some words that may seem meaningful but are actually watery, and cannot be overly exaggerated.

The speech was written by Ning Yaxian.

About choice.

There are many such topics, "choice and effort", "choice and ability"... Tsinghua students generally have no shortage of effort and ability. This speech mainly talks about "choice and talent".

Students who can get into Tsinghua University must have intellectual talents that surpass ordinary people. How to make the best use of this talent is very critical.

"Talents are easy to come by - after all, they are innate. Choosing is not easy. If you are not careful, you may be seduced by your talents, which may damage the choices you make."

"All of you here have many talents. I am convinced that one of your talents is that you have a sharp and capable mind. The reason why I am so sure is that the competition for admission is very fierce. If you cannot show your intelligence, you will not be qualified to enter this school.

Your ingenuity will surely come in handy, for you will be traveling in a land full of wonders."

"We humans, even as we move forward, will eventually surprise ourselves. We will find ways to generate clean energy, and we will be able to assemble micromachines atom by atom to penetrate cell walls and repair cells."

"I have to admit that I have entrepreneurial talent."

The previous ones are just foreshadowing, and the following story is the core content of Zhou Buqi’s speech today.

"In 2004, I entered the university campus. My family didn't provide me with much living expenses, so after completing the admission procedures, I started to contact the telecommunications business office, found some classmates, and sold phone cards together. Not only did I win Beikke

We have won most of the phone card market, and have also won phone card agents from many schools such as Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Renmin University of China, National University for Nationalities, University of Finance and Economics, etc.”

"In just a few days, I made tens of thousands of yuan, maybe 50,000 yuan, I forgot. But it didn't matter. At that time, I just thought that the money was enough for my four-year college living expenses. But

Then three things happened that changed my mind."

"First, some students went to a computer store in Zhongguancun to buy a computer. After happily getting it back, some knowledgeable students went over to check and found that the graphics card, processor and hard drive were all second-hand. A computer worth 3,000 yuan,

It may only be worth 1,000 yuan; secondly, I have a roommate who works at KFC in order to buy a mobile phone. It only costs a few yuan an hour, and he has to endure all kinds of harsh criticism and ridicule from the manager.

Irony; thirdly, there is a female classmate in my class whose family is in a very difficult situation. She wants to do some part-time work in school, do some simple work such as cleaning and organizing documents. But even so, she has to pay and get cards, forcing her to

I cry every day. My school is Beike. Although it is not as good as Tsinghua University, it is also a key university in the country. College students at Beike have experienced this, and I believe college students across the country are the same."

"At that moment, I realized my responsibility. I felt that I should do something for college students across the country!"

The auditorium of Tsinghua University was full of people.

The richest man Zhou is so famous.

Especially Tsinghua University.

The relationship between Ziweixing and Tsinghua University is even closer than the relationship between many schools and enterprises.

I thought this was just a lecture for students from the Computer Science Department, but when I saw the scene, there might be 1,200 people. Not only were all 900 seats filled, but there were also people sitting in the aisles.

This is Tsinghua University.

If we change the place, maybe some comrades from the police station will come forward to coordinate. It would be too dangerous to gather too many people.

This is the charm of Zhou's richest man.

Silicon Valley has Mark Zuckerberg; Zhongguancun has Zhou Buqi!

The two started their businesses almost at the same time.

In terms of influence and personal achievements, Zhou Buqi seems to be even better!

Judging from public information reports, Facebook's last round of financing was valued at US$15 billion, while Ziweixing's valuation was as high as US$30 billion.

The same talented young entrepreneur, this time, is far ahead in the country.

Zhou Buqi didn't read the manuscript. This kind of chat-like speech was not difficult for him.

Virtual and real.

Half true and half false.

It would be great if you express those feelings and ideals and infect more people.

"When I was selling phone cards, I met the principal of our school, Hu, an old man with white hair who always liked to drink tea from a large teapot with a five-star pattern. I told him that I wanted to open a website specifically for college students. He

He took me for a long walk around the campus and listened carefully to what I said. He said that this was a good idea to pursue."

"However, starting a business while in school will inevitably delay my studies. He told me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. This decision was indeed difficult, but in the end, I decided to give it a try. I don't think I would give it a try.

Regret over subsequent failures, making decisions but not taking action at all will always torture me. After careful consideration, I chose the unsafe path to follow my inner passion. I am proud of that decision.

"

"College is where you shape your life from scratch."

"How will you use your talents? What choices will you make?"

“Are you guided by inertia, or do you follow your inner passion?”

"Will you stick to the rules, or will you be brave enough to innovate?"

"Would you choose a life of ease, or a life of dedication and adventure?"

"Will you give in to criticism, or will you keep your faith?"

"Will you cover up your mistakes or apologize honestly?"

"Will you hide your feelings for fear of rejection, or will you move forward bravely in the face of love?"

"Do you want to be calm or do you want to fight the wind and waves?"

"Will you choose to give up under the harsh reality, or will you move forward without hesitation?"

"Are you going to be a cynic or a down-to-earth builder?"

"Everyone has their own different choices. My choice is to put roots down, not to think about making money, but to truly do something meaningful for users, for the country, and for the world. You are now

Students, you have nothing, and all you can think about is finding a partner and making a lot of money. But when you have everything, you will find that something that can make you feel fulfilled deep inside must be

It is spiritual satisfaction and the realization of personal value in a social sense."

…

The speech ended with thunderous applause.

There were also female students from Tsinghua University who came up to lay flowers. But the aisle was crowded and it was very difficult to get up.

Zhou Buqi took the flowers and couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you classmates for your kindness, but... I want to say one more thing. You are from Tsinghua University, so you have special requirements. Why do you have to send flowers? Because all similar

Send flowers to every event? Only mediocre people follow the crowd. There are often two types of people with different ideas, one is crazy, and the other is you are good enough. I believe you are all very good people.

For example, sending flowers? Why does it have to be a girl? Is it okay for male students to send flowers? Instead of sending flowers, I think it will be more meaningful to send a calligraphy work by a classmate. Innovation can start from small steps. I hope that we at Tsinghua University

Every student of our school is individual, independent and unique. You should not be screws in the social machine, you are the makers of this machine."

This time, the applause was even warmer.

You can also feel it from this aura.

The applause at the beginning was obviously more polite and encouraging, and I didn't want to embarrass the richest man Zhou. The applause in the second paragraph came from the heart. This kind of ardent expectation made everyone feel the same.

After the speech, the richest man and the leaders left first.

"President Zhou, what you said is not practical." A vice principal accompanied him, laughing all the way and saying half-jokingly.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You are from Tsinghua University, so you should always raise your head and float a little bit. If it were an ordinary university, I would definitely not talk about it so much. I would tell them that they must learn to follow others in university.

You can deal with people and deal with interpersonal relationships. Lay a good foundation and start from the bottom step by step."

The vice president shook his head and said: "Tsinghua is a comprehensive institution, and many people want to go into politics after graduation."

Zhou Buqi remained silent.

"Mr. Zhou, you are very eloquent. Come and give a lecture when you are free in the future? Do you want to bring a graduate student?"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was startled.

The vice-principal said: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Our students will definitely have no problem studying, but traveling thousands of miles will not. Being with you and teaching by words and deeds is much better than studying in the classroom."

Zhou Buqi knew he was joking.

Tsinghua University would not dare to do this kind of thing that breaks the rules. It would undermine the teaching order.

"I can't do it anymore, but Ziweixing has many technical experts. The school can contact them. See who is free and can come to the school part-time as a professor or doctoral supervisor."

"Okay! This is what you said!"

The vice principal smiled happily and was very happy.

Zhou Buqi smiled and shook his head, "The future belongs to young people. Cultivating enough outstanding talents is the only way out for the future of science and technology."

There is also a benefit.

If several vice presidents of the institute become part-time professors or doctoral supervisors, even if they only lead one or two doctoral students in each session, this is still a very important gain.
Chapter completed!
