We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 632 Pony
Qingshan Building of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is the graduate dormitory of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and is also called Dengshen Building by students.

The reason for this nickname is that all the people living in this building are postgraduate students from the Department of Computer Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

The Hong Kong Financial Magazine once reported that in the era of the Internet boom, there are only two universities that can truly supply top talents to Internet companies, namely Stanford in the United States and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong.

It’s not that the computer science departments of other top universities in the world are not good, but after comprehensive evaluation, the computer science majors of these two universities are clearly a level ahead of other universities.

Such a reputation also means that computer science students graduating from these two universities have no worries about job arrangements after graduation. Unlike companies selecting people from other majors, they are truly people selecting companies.

Especially in the past two years, with the rise of the Internet, the demand for talent has become even greater. Many companies have heard that graduates from the computer science departments of Stanford and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology are exempt from interviews and skip the internship period, and they still give them a lot of subsidies, such as housing and transportation expenses.

The graduate students in the Department of Computer Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology are the most chosen among the chosen ones. Every year, countless students apply, but less than one-fifth of them can actually study for a doctorate in the Department of Computer Science.

Other universities? Forget about it. According to statistics, the admission rate of students from other schools applying for HKUST postgraduate studies will not exceed 5% of the total. Basically, all the places are occupied by students from this university.

So the younger students called this building Dengshen Building, meaning that living here means ascending the stairs to god, and at least one will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

In dormitory 208, a man in pajamas with messy hair stood in front of the living room window and stretched lazily.

“Whether it’s a god or not, it’s all just empty talk to me. I prefer something more practical, like this beautiful coast.

I have to say that the location of this building is really good. Every day when I wake up, I can see the majestic coastline. It is really beautiful."

Qingshan Building is located at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, close to the mountain and water, with very convenient transportation. Not far away there is a living area and Qingshan Restaurant, one of the most popular canteens of HKUST.

"It's just the sea, what's so good about it?"

At this time, another young man of about the same age came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of buns in one hand and a bowl and chopsticks in the other.

On the dining table, the side dishes and milk were neatly arranged, and they all looked like the work of young people.

"Let's eat. You should look at the sea every day when you wake up. Isn't it enough for Hong Kong Island, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides?"

The young man in front of the balcony turned his head and gave you an expression that said you didn't understand, "Hong Kong Island is surrounded by the sea on three sides, but not everyone can see it, otherwise why are sea view rooms so expensive in Hong Kong Island?"

The young man came to the dining table and sat down. He picked up the chopsticks but did not move them. Instead, he asked curiously, "Xiao Ma, what does your family do? I know a lot of students from your side, but you are definitely the most special one."

Picking up the pan-fried bun, one of Qingshan Restaurant’s signature dishes, the young man took a satisfying bite.

"Other students are either studying hard or working part-time. I've never seen someone like you who has no anxiety about life. What does your family do? Are you the son of some leader?"

Seeing the other party's excited face as if he had discovered some secret, Xiao Ma calmly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It's just an ordinary family, you think too much."

Seeing the other party's face full of resentment after hearing the answer, Xiao Ma rolled his eyes and said, "What's with that expression?"

"Although I don't care much about this crappy name, this is Dengshen Building, and you are not an undergraduate student from HKUST."

The meaning is self-evident. Those who are not undergraduate students of HKUST and can live in this building can no longer be described as a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but rather as a thousand horses galloping on a tightrope.

This is for college students all over the world. There are even fewer places for rabbits. As far as he knows, there are only two or three, and Pony is one of them.

He did not deny the other party's ability, but there were countless capable people. Aren't there only two or three people who have come this far?
No connection? Don't even think about it.

"My family is really an ordinary family." Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Xiao Ma had to add, "But my father can be considered to work for a Far Eastern company."

"I thought so."

In the Far East system, the benefits are not just money, there are also many invisible assets.

For example, at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, it has become an open and unwritten rule that children of Far Eastern majors are given priority admission under the same conditions.

Seeing that the other party was not dwelling on this topic, Xiao Ma finished his second bun and drank the milk in the cup and asked, "A Tao, what are your plans for the future?"

"You want to start a business?"

There is no shortage of job opportunities for computer science graduate students at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Asking this question means that Xiao Ma does not want to follow the routine.

"Senior Zhao Ji's deeds are the best example. We are now in an era of great waves and elimination of the weak. Do you think you are worse than him?"

Zhao Ji, this name has now become a legend of HKUST.

micro, the blogging website that Luo Nianzhong invested in during his trip to the New Territories, completed its C round of financing in less than two years.

With more than 1300 million users worldwide and more than one million daily active users, the outside world has valued micro at more than two billion US dollars. Free of charge does not mean no profit. At the beginning of the year, an Amazon pop-up advertisement helped Amazon add more than new users in one day. Everyone said that Bezos's one million US dollars in advertising fees was worth it.

Just when everyone thought that micro was about to monetize, the company turned off pop-up ads, a feature that was not very good for user experience.

However, this does not hinder Micro's high valuation, because they have found the code to monetize traffic.

The most eye-catching round of C financing in June was from a company that was not an investment institution, namely Honor of Kings, which has dominated the gaming industry for many years.

At first, many people didn’t understand why Micro would accept investment from a gaming company. But in August, Micro slapped everyone in the face.

Web games, a form of entertainment that is very familiar to later generations, was built into the web page by Micro, and the various card games that can be played with real money became the key to Micro's success.

In just four months, Micro went from $8.15 million in Series C funding to its current $ billion.

Many institutional analysts have publicly stated in front of the media that they would do it even if it meant losing everything they had if they could get shares of Micro at a valuation of US$2 billion.

Micro's monthly revenue growth was so alarming that many institutions predicted that when it went public, Netscape's IPO myth would be broken.

Thanks to Micro, Zhao Ji is worth more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars at a young age, and his wealth is accumulated at an outrageous speed. He has become a leader of the younger generation in Hong Kong Island and the pride of HKUST.

Just like Xiao Ma said, no one who can live in Dengshen Building thinks that they are worse than others, and A Tao is the same.

“Tell me what you think.”

"My motherland." Seeing Tao frown, Xiao Ma continued.

“No one is interested in that piece of land in the Internet industry now. After all, the number of users is there. Everyone thinks that as long as the global market is unified, it will be a natural thing to eat up the rabbit market.

But I don't think so. They don't understand my country and its customs at all. Using Western ways of thinking will only make them uncomfortable.

The growth rate of Internet users there is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination. It was a great decision for Far East to start planning more than ten years ago. Now they have received rich rewards, and this reward will continue for a long time.

This is true for industry and the Internet as well. The rate of growth of Internet users there cannot be described by common sense.

We have the technology, and we can apply for the school's start-up funds. Plus, with my understanding of the area, we can make arrangements in advance."

Tao was somewhat moved by what Xiao Ma said. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"game".

"Are you crazy? Even game manufacturers in Western island countries don't dare to compete head-on with Honor of Kings. Do you want to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?
Besides, we can only apply for a limited amount of start-up capital, and it is unknown whether it is enough to develop a game."

"You're right, but why should we fight against Honor Games? Didn't Senior Zhao Ji give us a good idea?"

"You mean the card game?"

"That's right," Xiao Ma nodded, "I said that these Internet companies would probably not be able to adapt if they rashly entered there."

"Take board games for example, many people don't understand or have never heard of Western board games such as blackjack, stud poker, and chess on Micro.

In Tuzi, almost every province has its own way of playing chess and cards, even the rules of mahjong are different.

As long as we can get enough funds from board games, we can also develop social software and online games."

A Tao was so lost in thought that he even forgot to eat the pan-fried bun he had taken a bite of on the plate in front of him.

"I need to see your written plan before I can make a decision. This is also required when applying for startup funding."

"No problem, give me two days." Xiao Ma was very happy to have won over a great man to start a business together. He stood up and started to clean up his dishes.

"By the way, have you thought of a name for your company?"

The pony who walked to the kitchen door was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. If it doesn't work out, let's just call him Penguin."

I wonder what Luo Nianzhong would do if he knew that this tycoon actually changed history and went to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for postgraduate studies.

How about it? Beat them up first, MD, you need money to do anything, and you have to pay a fee to withdraw cash.
