Niu Xiaoqiang was not very easy to refuse Watson's proposal, so he could only adopt a roundabout strategy, and he pretended not to believe it and asked: "Is the United States really that good? Why do I think it is not reliable?"

Watson immediately raised his head, looking like you were really lonely and unheard: "If nothing else, let's talk about California's Silicon Valley, do you know how powerful it is? At present, seven or eight out of ten of the hottest computer industries in the United States are starting businesses there, such as Apple, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Oracle, these are the companies I am very optimistic about, many of them are college students or professors founded, some even have not graduated from college students founded, thanks to the rapid development and popularization of the computer industry, many companies have achieved excellent results. ”

Watson gave an example: "Take Apple, for example, one of the young people who founded this company was only 21 years old, and the other was only 26 years old, this company was founded in 1976, mainly dealing in personal computer products, and five years later, at the end of 1980, it was successfully listed and became a Fortune 500 company! Four billionaires were created at once among the top management of the company! Dozens of millionaires or multimillionaires! The unit of pricing here is the dollar! Think for yourself, is starting a business in the U.S. more promising than in China?"

Niu Xiaoqiang stood on the spot like a clay sculpture, his face full of shock.

He originally thought that he was already a very good person, starting from a poor man to create Hope Farm, and the asset scale in less than a year was nearly 100,000 yuan, looking at the whole of China, it was also quite a proud achievement. But compared with Apple, Niu Xiaoqiang found that he was still too sitting.

In five years, people have been promoted from entrepreneurs to billionaires, and they are still billionaires denominated in dollars.

Niu Xiaoqiang has made a very detailed plan and evaluation of his career, according to his most optimistic estimate, he should be able to earn 300,000 yuan within half a year, he may become a millionaire within a year, and he may become a multimillionaire within five years. If you want to become a billionaire in dollars, it will take you ten years at the earliest.

According to the current official exchange rate, 100 million US dollars is equivalent to about 200 million yuan, and if calculated according to the real market price (that is, the exchange rate of the black market), 200 million US dollars is equivalent to 2 billion yuan! What kind of concept is this? At this stage, the ambitious Niu Xiaoqiang only dares to dream of being a billionaire, and he does not dare to think of the dream of being a billionaire at the level of 2 billion!

The person at the table couldn't quite understand the conversation between the two. Although the accompanying translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very proficient in English, Watson deliberately accelerated the speed of his speech in order to strengthen his persuasiveness, except for Niu Xiaoqiang, no one heard what the two were talking about, so everyone was puzzled by the sudden change in Niu Xiaoqiang's expression, and they all looked at him with curious eyes.

Niu Xiaoqiang's blood was a little boiling, and after taking a few deep breaths, he spoke: "Professor, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Watson pretended to be dissatisfied: "You thought I was a liar when we first met, and now you say I'm lying to you, isn't it possible that I am so unreliable in your eyes?"

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed twice: "The main thing is that what you said is so amazing, I can't believe it." ”

Watson saw Niu Xiaoqiang's heart, and hurriedly added firewood: "The United States is in the initial stage of the wave of computer information, opportunities are everywhere, as long as there is excellent technology and excellent vision, it is not a problem to copy the myth of Apple at all, with your mind, I firmly believe that you will be successful, Xiaoqiang, or follow me to the United States, as the deputy director of the computer department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the human relationship is still very sufficient, don't you Chinese like to engage in human relationships?" With me to help you mediate, it will definitely be easier for you to start a business there, and success is just around the corner. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was just shocked by Apple's myth of getting rich just now, so he was so out of shape. At this moment, he has gradually calmed down, and his consideration of the problem will naturally not be so one-sided.

Although Professor Watson paints a fairytale picture of the future, he knows that nothing in the world is that simple. Although he is very capable and aggressive, he does not know anything about the computer industry at present, and he has never heard of computer technology.

He has spent so much effort to get to where he is today, and it is no exaggeration to say that everything at present is the crystallization of his hard work, how easy is it to make him give up?

Besides, if he goes to the United States, what will Master do? Fang Dongping is still counting on Niu Xiaoqiang to provide for his old age, no matter how much Niu Xiaoqiang loves money, what he values most is family affection. The purpose of his business is to help his family live a good life, so that his family can live happily and happily, and no longer be oppressed by the burden of life. That's the fundamental.

Fang Dongping is like his grandfather in his heart, and he can be regarded as his family. He once personally promised Fang Dongping that he would definitely help him retire in his old age, if he went to the United States now, wouldn't it be equivalent to breaking his promise and getting fat?

Fang Dongping was too good to say anything to him, how could Niu Xiaoqiang, a person who misses the old like this, do something that makes the old man sad? Why does he look down on his own brother Niu Xiaogang so much? Isn't it because Niu Xiaogang is a person with a cold nature? If Niu Xiaoqiang does the same thing as Niu Xiaogang, he will look down on himself.

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Niu Xiaoqiang's mind, and he quickly made a choice: "Professor Watson, I thank you for your respect for me, to be honest, there is no reason for me to refuse the conditions you have offered me, but I still have to regret to answer you, I can't follow you to study in the United States for the time being." ”

Watson was almost mad, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I want to know what the reason for this?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and explained: "First of all, because I still have concerns in China, haven't you always been very curious about how I know advanced mathematics at such a young age? I can tell you the answer now, I can have today, in fact, because I have a good teacher, he was like you, he was also a university professor, and it is under his teaching that I can achieve what I am today." ”
