Chapter 245: only two countries

   Chapter 245 There are only two countries

Wangye explained patiently:

"Investment must not be limited to one country, especially the Internet, which is a world-class industry.

There are also some Internet companies in our country, but the number of people who use Russian is not enough, so the future of the Russian Internet cannot be too developed.

According to my judgment, the most promising Internet industry can only be English-speaking countries, followed by Chinese-speaking countries!

Because there are the largest number of people who speak these two languages! "

hesitated before asking, "America and China?"

Wang Ye nodded, "Yes, these two countries."

"Why are you optimistic about these two countries? Oh, let's just say America, everyone is optimistic. The problem is China, and China doesn't seem to be very good now." Geblev asked.

No way, let alone the former Soviet Union disintegrated now, even if it did not disintegrate, Laomei was undoubtedly the number one power in the world!

It can be said to lead the world in all directions!

The Internet was also invented in Laomei, and slowly began to spread.

Therefore, Wang Ye is optimistic about Laomei, which is normal. After all, now, almost all Internet companies are concentrated in Laomei, especially that Silicon Valley!

But why is he optimistic about China?

Is it because this kid is Chinese...

It's no wonder that Geblev underestimated China. After all, it was not long after China's reform and opening up, and the economy hadn't really started to take off!

At that time, the pronoun of "made in China" was "fake and inferior"...

Many people, including foreigners, have the impression that what is produced in China means "cheap and inferior", and it won't get better anyway.

When talking about China abroad, it is synonymous with poverty and backwardness!

Although Russia’s economy is also not very good, but relying on the wealth of wealth left by the former Soviet Union and the money to sell energy, the per capita income is much stronger than that in China, so it also looks down on China…

In such a "poor and backward" country, Wang Ye actually said that he is optimistic about the development of its Internet industry.

In other words, elites like Geblev, they know a little about China.

If it was an ordinary Russian, they would probably want to ask, is there a computer in China now...

Oh, in other words, is China electrified...

…………

Hearing Geblev's question, Wang Ye was also helpless.

But he can understand that, except for the person who "come back" from twenty years later, at this time in 2001, it is estimated that no one in the world could have imagined that China would be so powerful ten years later!

is so powerful that it begins to threaten Lao Mei's dominance, making Lao Mei panic...

But he couldn't say these things, and even if he did, no one would believe them.

Wang Ye can only explain: "China's economy has begun to take off, especially where there are a large number of young laborers, and what is even more frightening is that these laborers are still educated and have basic cultural knowledge. Now China has begun to be called It is a factory for the world, and if it develops further, it will definitely be able to embark on the road of an industrial power."

This explanation sounds plausible.

On the other hand, Geblev asked a little unconvinced: "What about India? There is a large population there, and the common language is English, which has the advantage of integrating into the West."

Hearing him say Asan, Wang Ye smiled disdainfully and said, "Let's solve the problem of food and clothing first, and talk about development? That's still a long way from them."

He said to Wang Ye seriously:

"Your idea is very good, if the future is really like what you said, then you really need to seize the opportunity.

There is no problem in investing in Internet companies in the United States and China, but I hope you will also take care of our domestic Internet companies.

As far as I know, it is impossible for this kind of company to be profitable in the early stage, and it has to rely on venture capital funds to pour into it.

Now the national economy is relatively difficult, and those oligarchs who are really rich are not willing to throw their money into the bottomless pit of the Internet industry.

So, I hope you can leave some sparks for the Internet industry in our country. "

The meaning of these words is very clear, that is, let Wang Ye not spend all his money abroad, and at least keep some for the country.

Perhaps Russian Internet companies do not have an advantage in the English Internet world, but at least don’t lose the “turf” of the Russian Internet...

Wang Ye nodded cheerfully, "I understand, now I have 2 billion US dollars in funds that can be used for venture capital. With this money, at least I will keep 3.5 billion US dollars in the country to support a few companies. A company with potential."

In fact, there are quite a lot of Internet talents here at Lao Maozi, and there are also many masters in mathematics and physics, and there are many top programmers.

Many people may not know that in the most authoritative international college student programming competition, the University of Light Machines in Petersburg, Russia has been suppressing world-renowned schools such as Stanford and Caltech for many years, and has won many team championships!

There is also the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, known as the "Massachusetts of Russia".

On education, in fact, Russia is really not inferior to developed countries in Europe and America.

The former Soviet Union left too many great things in education. During the Cold War, the former Soviet Union raised education to the height of the national security strategy and invested a lot of energy to create a very efficient talent training system.

Culturally, outstanding scientists, physicists and mathematicians are admired by the whole people just like rock stars in Europe and America. The government invested a lot of money in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in schools. Learned this educational system.

The Mathematical Olympiad that tortured countless Chinese students was created by the former Soviet Union in 1934...

The proportion of nationals who have received higher education, Russia is also far ahead of the world, and has always been in the first place!

Unfortunately, because of the "sequelae" left by the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the economic malaise during the period of social unrest, Russia missed the golden age of Internet development.

has led to the exodus of most talents, and a few Internet giants have not grown up locally.

After all, at that time, there was not enough money here in Russia, and there was no suitable environment!
