Chapter 414 The Greatest Businessman of the 21st Century

When the iPhone 1 was released, everyone present was shocked.

So much so that when Su Yehao introduced the newly developed gadget—the Pangu operating system—few people cared about it at all.

Toward the end of 2005, Su Yehao realized that he hadn't been waiting for Android to appear. Guessing that it had probably been blown away, he simply acquired several related startups with full funding. He integrated the talent to develop it together, put forward the requirements according to his memories of how it worked, and assembled a huge development team.

It took a total of a year and a half to customize this operating system.

The current Pangu operating system is just a framework. Follow-up development work will take some more time. In the future, it will invite major mobile phone manufacturers to improve it together as an open platform. Black Diamond Mobile plans to release its first smartphone equipped with the Pangu operating system by the end of this year.

Netizens often praise Nokia for its quality, saying it's good enough to crack walnuts. He believes that it won't be long before those feature phones can only be thrown into the corner of a drawer, used for cracking walnuts when there's nothing else to do.

Laymen are more concerned about terminal products, so when Su Yehao released the improved immersion lithography machine, it didn't get much attention either. Instead, the household rooftop photovoltaic power generation kit and the new electric Pagani supercar, which is being developed in conjunction with the Pagani supercar brand, received great attention.

Since it was a joint press conference, there were of course people from other companies present.

The CEO of newsmicroblog, the international version of Weibo, took the stage to announce a plan to select and support a thousand global internet celebrities. He announced that he would cooperate with Amazon and eBay to try a new model of online live streaming sales.

Newsmicroblog is preparing for an IPO. This social product, which Su Yehao created casually, completed its Series B financing at the end of last year and plans to go public at the end of this year. Its current total valuation is US$22 billion.

Then Elon Musk took the stage. This guy is still the CEO of PayPal. Su Yehao has already stolen his limelight. He happily receives a salary of several million U.S. dollars a year, plus generous stock option rewards.

The PayPal payment tool currently has a total valuation of only US$10 billion, mainly because various credit card alliances have also launched relatively mature online payment tools, making it difficult to crazily seize market share like Credit Treasure.

Su Yehao is very satisfied that it can develop smoothly to this day. After all, the online shopping market is still very small, and the future is relatively bright, so there is no need to rush.

In just two years, many things have happened.

Today, Su Yehao took out some investment results accumulated over many years and displayed them in front of a global audience.

Today is Friday.

In the morning in Hong Kong, the major European and American markets have already closed, but the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is still trading. The Science and Technology Innovation Board suddenly showed a crazy upward trend. Taobao, Silver Sea Network, Nong Qingying Investment's Sohoo, and other Internet companies all went crazy. Among them, Taobao's increase even exceeded 20%.

Many investors were still at a loss, not knowing what was happening. They checked the forums online and found that they had exploded. Overwhelmingly, almost all of the news was related to Su Yehao.

Whether it's the three exquisite electric cars, the iPhone 1, or the electric Pagani supercar that people can only dream of, they can't help but exclaim "Wo Cao!"

Accessing the Internet anytime, anywhere through a handheld computer is no longer a distant dream.

The real machine operation pictures of the iPhone 1 released at the press conference made Motorola and Nokia's flagship machines look like products of the past era.

The head of Nokia Greater China in the venue has already begun to lean towards accepting an invitation from a headhunting company to jump to Black Diamond Mobile as a senior vice president...

After Su Yehao stepped down, he handed the stage over to the person in charge of the charitable public welfare project to briefly introduce the achievements of the past two years.

Such as the Yangtze River Protection Plan.

Although the main stream of the Yangtze River has not been completely banned from fishing, several tributaries have already implemented a ten-year fishing ban plan ahead of schedule under his initiative. The local government is responsible for properly resettling fishermen who rely on fishing for a living and helping them find suitable employment opportunities.

In addition, there is desertification control work. Although it has not yet been truly carried out, it has jointly customized a batch of machines that meet the actual situation with several equipment manufacturers.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. The efficiency of a tree planting vehicle is likely to be more than ten times that of manual labor. Work such as seedling cultivation began two years ago.

Interestingly, in May of last year, a team funded by Su Yehao found five baiji (Yangtze River dolphins) in Poyang Lake, which are estimated to be the last remaining.

In order to avoid their natural demise, he personally made a trip to Sijiu City to apply for artificial captive protection after fishing them out.

Although only five baiji cannot maintain the reproduction of the race, and if no solution is found, they will inevitably face extinction, every species is an elf of the earth. Even for the sake of persuading people to protect other animals, Su Yehao needs to see them off on their last journey.

After discussions with experts, the five baiji were caught and temporarily kept in Gaoyou Lake, and a large number of fish fry were released as food. Two cubs have been successfully bred this year.

Seeing the pictures of the baiji cubs on the big screen, Su Yehao was so gratified that it felt more fulfilling than earning ten billion U.S. dollars.

Linda Yun is still hanging around him for food. At this time, she came over with her laptop and said excitedly: "Fortune magazine has posted a Weibo. They are also following this press conference and use the term 'the greatest businessman of the 21st century' to describe you, saying that your achievements have the opportunity to suppress an entire era."

Su Yehao has never lacked praise. After reading it, he calmly said:

"That's just the way it is. I don't need them to help me promote it. I've been painstakingly hiding for a year or two, and I'm bored at home all day. After today, I'm afraid I'll be pulled back into the public eye again. It's really worrying."

"...You were the one who said you wanted to host today's press conference. I find you annoying. When you've been low-key for a long time, you feel bored, and when you're high-profile, you worry about this and that. This job is simply impossible to do."

Linda Yun has crossed the threshold of thirty years old and has become much more mature and sexy. The relationship between the two is here, and there is nothing to pay attention to when talking.

Su Yehao continued:

"You're not the one who has hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth and receives various threatening letters, so of course you're not worried. However, you usually sit in the same car with me and go to the same place. There are always some lunatics among the billions of people. If something happens, it might affect you."

It's useless to reason properly, but threats are especially effective. Linda Yun decisively replied:

"Then you should stay at home. The world has been quite chaotic recently. Information exchange was not smooth in the past, but now all kinds of people appear online. Some people have been tirelessly scolding you for two or three years, saying that you are the root cause of inequality between the rich and the poor. The legal department can't do anything about this kind of lunatic, so we can only be careful..."
