Some time ago, the 130th anniversary of Wuhan University was celebrated, and the momentum was huge. The Ministry of Education came to the vice minister, the province came to the vice governor, and a large number of academicians and presidents sent congratulations. The most striking thing is the alumnus Lei Jun, who made a big news quietly:Personally donated 1.3 billion yuan to Wuhan University.
1.3 billion yuan is the largest single individual donation received in the history of Chinese universities, and this donation is very particular. First of all, the donation was initiated in the name of Lei Jun personally, neither through Xiaomi, nor through any ** meeting, and did not involve tax deductions and other preferential treatmentsSecondly, Lei Jun donated real cash, not ** or other equivalents.
Moreover, in the most limelight ceremony of the day, Lei Jun did not go on stage, and only after the outside guests left, Lei Jun had a heart-to-heart with his family at the Luojia Forum in the afternoon.
Someone asked: Is this a low-key show of wealth?I think that's the definition of a low-key flaunt of wealth.
Soon, a hot search about Lei Jun appeared on Weibo "Cold 4 billion", saying that "when Lei Jun was the most depressed, only the cold 4 billion in the bank card remained".
The Internet is heartwarming, and soon a large number of netizens emerged, expressing their willingness to bear the chill alone. Subsequently, Lei Jun's life resume also spread all over Weibo. Many people say that this middle-aged entrepreneur, who is not good-looking and speaks with a strong Xiantao accent, may be the man closest to the protagonist of Shuangwen. However, Lei Jun and Xiaomi's refutation of rumors followed.
Although Lei Jun himself does not agree with the positioning of "Shuangwen male lead".But the first half of his life, which was covered up by "are you OK", did have a general plot.
Learn from the god Lei Jun
As we all know, there are 5 top 3 universities and 10 top 5 universities in China. Occasionally, on some occasions, Wuhan University will also be ranked in this top 5 list, but there always seems to be someone who is not convinced. But one metric is genuine: Wuhan University is the third-highest university in China in terms of the number of alumni donations received after Qingbei. The students cultivated by this university generally have a strong alma mater complex. Many alumni who have since appeared on the donation list have expressed one point:Wuhan University's open and enterprising academic style has benefited me far-reachingly. Among these people is Lei Jun.
When it comes to the style of martial arts, there is a famous example. Since 1979, this university has taken the lead in implementing a credit system, and as long as you complete the credits, you can complete your university studies. Later, Lei Jun was admitted to the Department of Computer Science of Wuhan University, and his first goal was to complete all the credits in two years. Although Lei Jun originally wanted to apply for the chemistry department, he soon showed a talent for programming. He wrote a pascal program during his freshman year, which was so beautifulWhen I was a sophomore, I was included in the textbook. In Wuhan University's "Assembly Language Programming" course, Lei Jun is one of only two perfect scores in history.
Motorola 86000, Lei Jun's undergraduate learning platform recalled his college career many years later, Lei Jun said I am not modest, in those years"swept all the scholarships of Wuhan University".
By the end of his sophomore year, Lei Jun had successfully completed the task of completing the credits, and he even took the time to complete it.
In his junior year, Lei Jun had no choice but to seek a little challenge outside the school. Everyone knows: if you can't see Lei Jun in school, then go to Wuhan Electronic Street to find him.
Lei Jun is more enthusiastic about tinkering with computers than taking credits. It's a pity that the school has limited resources, and in order to rub the computer, Lei Jun dangles around the electronic street with a broken bag all day long, and goes door to door to ask in the shopDo you want to recruit part-time jobs?Relying on 20 floppy disks and three programming books in a broken bag, Lei Jun swept the electronic street and became a celebrity known to all shop owners.
From office software to anti-virus software, from installation to soldering circuit boards, there is no business in the electronics street that Lei Jun has not done.
Lei Jun also started a business with his classmates when he was in college, if someone wants to ask Lei Jun to answer 1988, Lei Jun can say: That year, I did these small jobs. In the summer of his sophomore year, he cooperated with Wang Quanguo, a senior he met in Electronic Street, to establish the Yellow Rose Development Group and began to develop software by himself.
The first work of the development team was the encryption software Bitlok, which made Lei Jun eat the programmer's first bowl of rice.
Many years later, it was reported that Lei Jun became a millionaire with Bitlok when he was in school. Lei Jun hurriedly refuted the rumors: No, when I graduated, CaryOnly 4000 yuan(The average monthly wage in Wuhan that year was 205 yuan).
But Lei Jun did say that later Bitlok continued to sell iteratively for six or seven years and made "a lot of money". As for how many of them are, only Lei Jun knows. In his junior year, Lei Jun became interested in computer viruses again. Professor Zhang Dexiang of Wuhan University later recalled that at seven o'clock one night, Lei Jun suddenly ran to their laboratory and asked a bunch of questions about computer viruses, and Professor Zhang patiently answered them for Lei Jun. Then the next day, Lei Jun found the professor and said:I wrote an article all night, can you help me take a look at ......
Theory alone is not enough, Lei Jun pulled his classmate Feng Zhihong and developed an antivirus software "Immune 90", priced at 260 yuan, and sold dozens of sets in half a year. As a result, Lei Jun became an "anti-virus expert", and he also received the manuscript fee of "Computer World" and talked about his anti-virus experience. Later, "Immunity 90" won the first prize of the school's scientific and technological achievements, and Lei Jun was also invited by the Hubei Public Security Department to give a lecture. Lei Jun is also one of the first open source programmers in China. He wrote a memory cleaning tool raminit, and the classmates who used it all said that it was good, and Lei Jun announced the source **: Let's improve it together.
In addition to developing software, Lei Jun is also one of the first batch of hackers in China, and he likes to do cracking work when he has nothing to do. At that time, the wps1 developed by Qiu Bojun0 is the best Chinese word processing software on the market, and Lei Jun also wants to use it, but he can't afford Hanka. So Lei Jun cracked the WPS. After the version cracked by Lei Jun came out, few other versions were spread, and everyone said that the Lei Jun version was the most perfect crack. All of the above work was done by Lei Jun when he was in college. If Xueba has a name, I think he should be called Lei Jun.
No one in the world knows the army
In 1991, after graduating from his bachelor's degree, Lei Jun was assigned to work at the Beijing Telemetry Institute. Work during the day and write ** at night. He worked for Zhou Zhinong's natural code, and also encrypted Su Qiqiang of UFIDA software, and upgraded the bitlok developed in college to 1Version 0. Working in a public institution, it's very good and boring, and in the end, it is Qiu Bojun who salvages Lei Jun. Due to the development of WPS, Qiu Bojun was known as China's first programmer in the 90s. Lei Jun cracked his software, and he was not very angry, but wanted to meet this young man.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go on a business trip to Beijing, he begged Bojun to specially invite Lei Jun to eat roast duck and invite him to join Zhuhai Jinshan.
So the young Lei Jun lost his sleep on the morning of November, tossed and turned, and made a life-changing decision: to go to Zhuhai and become the No. 6 employee of Jinshan. A few months later, led by Lei Jun, Kingsoft set up a development department in Beijing. Two years later, Lei Jun became the general manager of Beijing Jinshan.
Four years later, Lei Jun became the CEO of Jinshan, and he was 28 years old. Less than ten years later, Lei Jun led Jinshan to be listed in Hong Kong, and his success and wealth were free. He was 37 years old.
There are a few little things worth mentioning in Jinshan.
In 1996, Jinshan established Xishanju Studio, and Lei Jun led the development of the first commercial PC game in China, "Zhongguancun Apocalypse" - Lei Jun did get a lot of inspiration from Zhongguancun.
In addition to the daily management of Jinshan, Lei Jun also found time to do some other work. In his first year at Kingsoft, he took the time to write a book called "In-depth DOS Programming".After becoming a CEO, he took the time to write a book called "Deep Windows Programming".
During his sabbatical stay at Jinshan, it took him two or three months to upgrade his college bitlok to 3Version 0. Even after becoming a boss, Lei Jun still practiced it and insisted on programming. Until one day in 2000, Lei Jun instructed the new young man in the IT department to "clean up my computer", Lei Jun said physical cleaning, but the young man thought that Lei Jun needed data cleaning, so he put Mr. Lei's computerFormattingFinish.
This became Lei Jun's window-breaking moment, and since then he has finally let go of his obsession as a programmer and concentrated on being a CEO. It's just that addiction still attacks sometimes, and during the Xiaomi period, some people photographed Lei Jun instructing young programmers at his workstation. It is said that Lei Jun writes ** with obsessive-compulsive disorder level aesthetics, and his self-requirement is that every line should be as concise and elegant as a demonstration. When Xiaomi Mi 9 was released, Lei Jun asked Wang Yuan to be the spokesperson, and Wang Yuan asked Lei Jun: Have you ever written a poem?Lei Jun laughed: No,But many people say that what I write is like a poem.
In Zhongguancun in the 90s, Lei Jun was an idol-like figure.
Zhou Hongyi said that in 1995, when he was working as a programmer at Founder, and when he squeezed the bus for three hours a day to go to work, Lei Jun had already driven a white Santana.
When Lei Jun became the general manager of Beijing Jinshan, Ma Huateng was still working as an engineer at Shenzhen Runxun, and Ding Lei was working at Ningbo Telecom. They met on West Point BBS, and Lei Jun had seen the early versions of NetEase and QQ. The ultimate ideal of Chinese intellectuals, "to be a general and return to their hometown", Lei Jun has long been realized.
Liu Qiangdong's brocade clothes are to take his wife back to Suqian and throw coins in his hometown. Not only did the old people in the village receive 10,000 red envelopes, but they also arranged jobs for the sons of old classmates while talking and laughing. Lei Jun's spiritual hometown is not Xiantao, but Luojia Mountain. Every time Lei Jun returns here, a huge sum of money often appears in the school's account. In 1997, Lei Jun, who had just graduated for six years, returned to Wuhan University and donated money to set up the "Tengfei Scholarship", becoming the fastest alumnus in the history of Wuhan University to give back to his alma mater, which has been distributed to this day, and Lei Jun was also elected honorary professor of Wuhan University at the age of 27. In the face of this fierce life, it is no wonder that some people will say: If Lei Jun sees the cool article on the Internet, will he evaluate itThat's not that cool, is it?
What are we talking about when we talk about Lei Jun
Lei Jun was a legend in Zhongguancun in the first half of his life, and he retired from Jinshan to become an angel investor, and he made a lot of money in a few years. If he continues to be the boss behind the scenes, he can naturally make a fortune and leave behind legends. But he not only re-entered the red dust, but also became an Internet celebrity himself, but his reputation fell into a disadvantageous situation. Lei Jun's Xiaomi model, which swept the Chinese smartphone market in the first few years, has been criticized for making appointments as part of this model.
Therefore, Lei Jun was once called the "Thunder Monkey King", which means that Xiaomi's rush to buy is always seconds, artificially creating hunger marketing, and treating consumers as monkeys. From time to time, the bold words of Apple, and let Lei Jun gain the nickname "Rebus", this nickname was more sarcastic than appreciative at first, and in the early Xiaomi development conference, Lei Jun even dressed to imitate Jobs. The peak of Lei Jun's Internet celebrity career came in 2015. When Xiaomi entered the Indian market and released the Xiaomi Mi 4i, Lei Jun, as the boss, came to India in person, and gave a passionate speech to the Indian rice noodles in front of the audience, leaving a golden sentence: are you OK?This Xiantao English immediately became the treasure of the up master of the ghost animal area of station b, and now the ** volume is close to half a billion:
As an Internet bigwig, I was ridiculed that my English was not good enough, and I didn't have much face no matter how I looked at it.
British Xiaoliu Wang Sicong was still the national husband at the time, and he couldn't help but ridicule Lei Jun:
Lei Jun suspected that the marketing department did it, and no one admitted it after asking around.
At that time, if Lei Jun wanted to publicize this **, I am afraid it would not be difficult. Chen Rui, the chairman of station B, has a lot of connections with Lei Jun:His first job after graduating from college was as Lei Jun's assistant. Lei Jun finally chose to follow the trend, ** Later, the virus spread, and Xiaomi itself also made a contribution.
That's 8 years ago. After many years have passed, Lei Jun, who has often become the target of ridicule by netizens, has a faint rise in status and reputation. A while ago, the tiger pounce score was out of the circle, and there was an entrepreneur section in it, and 50,000 people gave Lei Jun a 96 rating, as a comparison, Ma Huateng's rating is 27。
Life is not a cool article, but Lei Jun's life is indeed a standard counterattack.
There are many entrepreneurs of that generation who claim to be self-made, but when you look closely, there are often mysterious figures such as old men behind them, not to mention that many people have historical problems in their first pot of gold. From bitlok to Xiaomi, Lei Jun is his biggest backer. Even being the CEO of Jinshan at the age of 28 is the result of begging Bojun to catch ducks on the shelves. Lei Jun really couldn't help it, "Then I'll do it first", and this one went to Jinshan to be listed. Ruixing Antivirus and Jinshan Poison Bully have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years, and even Ruixing's people say that Jinshan has never used a means that cannot be on the table. Every step in Lei Jun's success story can be put to the test in the sun. Some time ago, there was a very popular meme, "The gears of fate begin to turn", and in the success narratives of our time, the invisible hand of fate often plays an important role.
Whether it is Crazy Brother Yang or Yang Chaoyue, they have reversed their lives through an irreproducible adventureBut in Lei Jun's story, chance is not the protagonist. With him,Knowledge can change fate, struggle will lead to success, even if fate is elusive, but it will eventually reward the diligent and brave. In the Tiger Pounce rating area, someone left a message:Lei Jun represents the limits that ordinary people can reach. He didn't mind when others said that Lei Jun was "are you OK", but when he said that he was the male protagonist of Shuangwen, Lei Jun issued a statement very seriously: Life is never Shuangwen, it is a down-to-earth process.
His life seems to be open, but every step is manual leveling. In the high-martial arts world where Kryptonians are rampant, Lei Jun said: Mortals can also cultivate immortals.
