He is Already a Tycoon at a Young Age! - Chapter 93

June 25, 1997, IT Startup Fair in Advanced City, China.

The IT Startup Fair hosted by Hong Kong’s Oriental Investment Corporation was held on a grand scale, and since many Chinese people think that other people’s money is free, the IT Startup Fair was packed with people.

‘This is a money-grubbing affair that started with the intention of only getting caught by that one guy.’

who?

Of course, Ma Huateng!

“CEO Han Jun-ho.”

“Yes, sir, I think the key to this IT startup expo is to separate the wheat from the chaff. What I have felt since coming to Hong Kong and traveling to advanced Chinese cities is that there are as many scammers in China as there are people.”

“That’s true.”

Currently, the South Korean composite stock price index was at 600 points, but then fell to 570 points.

[It seems that the saying that the trend is unstoppable is true. Soji Soros’ hedge fund invested a significant amount of money in South Korea, but the South Korean composite stock index, which had risen slightly, is falling again.]

I remembered a conversation I had with James, the head of an American investment firm.

[It will continue to decline, but the fact that Pacific Investment Corporation is in a crisis will not change. If the derivatives investment fails, the expected loss will be around 5.5 trillion won.]

[Yes, as a result, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index should fall below 400 points. And I am checking the instructions you gave me.]

[You mean you have no income?]

[No, I have succeeded in recruiting an incompetent investment manager from George Soros’ hedge fund. Through him, I will obtain the list of investors from Soros’ fund. As far as I know, some Middle Eastern capital and Jewish capital were invested.]

[A collaboration between Middle Eastern and Jewish capital?]

[Yes, it is something that no one expected.]

[Everyone is a friend when it comes to profit.]

[That seems to be true. And surprisingly, the capital in the Middle East seems to be from the Saudi royal family.]

[A direct descendant of the Saudi Arabian royal family? That’s surprising.]

[It seems that he is only interested in money because he is an incompetent person. The information he leaks is limited depending on the amount. It seems that he would have to spend quite a lot of money to find out specifically.]

[Please write. And please help me meet George Soros.]

If I join hands with George Soros, I plan to give the investment manager who betrayed George Soros as a gift.

‘Everyone is a friend when it comes to profit.’

This is the truth.

“And there are a lot of scammers who emphasize their great connections and recommend IT engineers. But they spend a lot of money to spread the word. In short, the Chinese think I’m a fool.”

“So you’re saying there’s no income at all?”

“It’s not that there aren’t any, but when I go to the IT engineers introduced by those scammers, there’s no connection. But since the number of recommendations keeps increasing, I think I’ll be able to find the right person soon.”

At that time, at the entrance of the IT startup expo, a person I was interested in entered the expo hall and looked around.

‘That guy is here?’

It’s unexpected.

‘By now.’

It was around the time when he joined the development department of Kingsoft, an IT company located in Beijing, China, that he came to Shenzhen to live that kind of life.

‘Lei Jun is here.’

The miracle of millet!

He walked right into the trap I set.

“I guess a lot of young people like that should come to this exhibition?”

“Those country bumpkins really come in large numbers. Some are tourists, and some are IT company employees who come to the expo to check out the engineers they can recruit for their own team. In any case, the Chinese have no business ethics, as the saying goes. There are many cases where they openly hand out business cards to IT experts attending the expo in front of the expo officials or management, asking them to come to their company.”

“The Chinese people lost their sense of manners and shame after the Cultural Revolution.”

“Sir, there is no such thing as a great revolution.”

“The Cultural Revolution. If the Cultural Revolution had not happened, China would be a different China than it is now. In my view, the Cultural Revolution that happened in China would have been a blessing for South Korea. If China, which has a vast territory, a huge population, and abundant underground resources, had developed while preserving its culture and traditions, it would have become a truly powerful country.”

At my words, Han Jun-ho, CEO of Dongbang Investment Corporation, nodded.

“That’s true. If that’s true, it’s also scary. The People’s Republic of China, which has maintained its culture and traditions, oh, it’s scary.”

“But now, that’s not the case. Even if China develops economically, it is still an underdeveloped country. It will live as a slave to the capitalism of the common people. From that perspective, Deng Xiaoping may have revived the Chinese economy, but he ruined the future of China. Those who want to become rich should become rich first. That’s why the Chinese people became rich by any means necessary.”

Of course, the Chinese consider Deng Xiaoping a hero of the Chinese people. However, I know that Deng Xiaoping’s policies have dragged China’s future into the present, and the aftereffects of this have become serious problems for China in the future.

“Come to think of it, that’s true.”

“I’ve been talking too emotionally. I’ll go around the fair. There might be a gem that catches my eye tucked away in a corner of the fairgrounds.”

While talking with Han Jun-ho, CEO of Dongbang Investment Corporation, I kept my eyes on Lei Jun.

“Yes, I understand.”

George Soros’ hedge fund building office.

“The head of the US branch of Pacific Investment Corporation asked to meet with me?”

George Soros put on a victor’s expression as he listened to the reporter’s report.

“Yes, that’s right. I think he requested a meeting regarding the issue of opposing investments in the South Korean Composite Stock Price Index.”

“Then it seems like it was ordered by headquarters.”

“I guess so.”

“Where is that genius investor named Ji-seong now?”

“Are you really going to meet me?”

“Everyone is a friend in front of profits. And according to my analysis, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index should rise further, but it rose to 600 points and then fell back to 570 points. And the other hedge funds, except for me, analyzed that the Korea Composite Stock Price Index would plummet.”

“I actually think it is natural that South Korea is facing an economic crisis.”

“That’s why. If that dark horse called Ji-seong doesn’t meet me, I’ll contact Goldman Sachs or other big capital. Investments also require negotiations.”

“Should I accept the meeting?”

“That’s good, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person he is. Hahaha!”

George Soros laughed because the odds were still in his favor.

However, as George Soros said, if the core of Goldman Sachs or an American investment bank meets with intellect, the situation could change drastically. In particular, if the British giant capital and intellect, who are cursed at just the mention of the name George Soros, meet, the two could join hands.

‘If you look at his investment portfolio, he’s quite a kid.’

If this happens, George Soros and the intellect will soon meet.

China’s advanced central IT startup fair.

I walked slowly and stood next to Lei Jun, who was carefully examining the brochure provided by the IT startup fair.

“What do you think of the booklet? Would it be of interest to an IT engineer?”

I spoke to Lei Jun first, and Lei Jun looked at me.

“Do you think I’m an IT engineer?”

“Yes, the people who usually look closely at the distributed booklets are engineers in the IT industry. The Chinese IT-related company employees who come here for other purposes only look at young people. And most IT engineers have pale faces. Since they only develop programs in the office, they rarely get to see the sun.”

“Then you?”

He asks me informally because I look difficult.

“Isn’t he too young for an employee of a Chinese IT company who came here to steal?”

“So you’re an IT engineer too?”

“Similar.”

I looked at Lei Jun and smiled.

“What is similar?”

“I do develop computer-related programs. I’m developing a computer program that will compete with Microsoft. Hahaha!”

If Lei Jun had been hired by Kingsoft Development in China, he would probably be developing a program to compete with Microsoft’s computer operating system by now.

‘The Chinese.’

They value similarity with others. There are many cases where they openly believe that they are from the same hometown. That is why China is called a networking country.

“Are you developing a computer operating system that will compete with Microsoft?”

“Yes, but I instructed them to give it up.”

“Not even a report, but an order?”

“Yes, I am late in introducing myself. My name is George Sheng, and I am the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Oriental Investment Corporation, the organizer of this IT expo.”

Lei Jun was surprised by my words.

‘The eyes that say you might seize an opportunity.’

When a person judges that an opportunity has come, his lips become dry and his eyes sparkle.

“My name is Lei Jun.”

When I revealed that I was a capitalist, Lei Jun immediately became polite.

“He’s older than me, so please speak comfortably. He’s an IT engineer, right?”

If I invest in Lei Jun and become one of the major shareholders of Xiaomi, which Lei Jun will establish, Lei Jun will be a rice seed that will make me money. So I have to be kind to him.

“that’s right.”

“I told you to speak comfortably. Hahaha!”

“Would that be okay?”

“Yes, but what kind of computer program are you developing? The purpose of this startup fair is ultimately investment.”

“I am developing something that I was told to give up on, but I keep thinking that there is no chance of winning.”

“Why? Since China is part of the Chinese character cultural sphere, I think we would have a chance.”

“You could see it that way, but the problems with Chinese characters themselves are serious. I feel the depth of what a Chinese scholar once said.”

“What is that?”

“If Chinese characters do not perish, China will perish.”

This is Lei Jun speaking so that only I can hear.

“The Chinese hate this truth. And I felt that there were clear limitations to my role as an IT program developer while still belonging to the company’s development department.”

Lei Jun spoke to me as if grumbling.

“is it so?”

“The technicians around me say that people like me are more suited to be businessmen than developers. To put it nicely, they say I’m more suited to be a businessmen, but they also say that I lack the skills as a developer.”

“It could be the opposite. He could be jealous of your abilities and trying to drive you out.”

“That would be great if it were true, but I don’t think so. Anyway, I came here because I heard that a large-scale IT-related startup fair was being held in Shenzhen.”

“Are you looking for investment?”

Lei Jun smiles at me as I ask him my question.

“Leijun.”

“why?”

“Would you like to go somewhere quiet and talk? I think it’s worth investing in an entrepreneur who knows his or her own situation well.”

I intend to invest in Lei Jun because I know his future.

‘Xiaomi was founded.’

It’s 2010.

And Xiaomi is a company that started as a disgrace to the Chinese mainland and transformed into a miracle on the Chinese mainland, and is also the most Chinese company.

‘Starting with imitation and plagiarism.’

Also, it is a Chinese company that grew by taking advantage of the patriotic ideology of the Chinese people.

“You will invest in me?”

This is the surprised Lei Jun.

‘You’re caught. Hahaha!’
