Chapter 470

When I approached the crowd, I found that in addition to the beard that attracted my attention to the topic, there was still a Chinese. Yes, Li Feng really recognized it at a glance, but he didn't know whether it was a Chinese or a Chinese student.

Although from the perspective of Europeans and Americans, people of East Asian descent (mainly China, Japan and South Korea) are one face, it is really easy to identify in Li Feng's view, just as Chinese identify their own country and Korean and Japanese people, they can really be seen at a glance.

Li Feng, who has a "red heart", is naturally the same. At a glance, it can be concluded that this should be a Chinese, or even a foreign student. There is still a great difference between Chinese Americans and foreign students who have been influenced by Chinese culture since childhood.

When Li Feng approached the crowd, everyone also saw it. Suddenly, several people warmly greeted Li Feng's master. After a little understanding, they knew that the five people, except the bearded and Chinese, were angel investors in Silicon Valley, not particularly famous.

"Hello, ward, do you mind if I listen to your project?" Li Feng smiled at the beard and asked.

"Of course, it is a dream for many people to let the son of wealth of America listen to my project." Beard smiled back.

His name is ward Cunningham. In his previous life, Li Feng was a small boss of an Internet cafe. Although he also claimed to be an "Internet practitioner", he was still a little ignorant after all. I'm not familiar with the beard named ward, but I can't stand the term wiki I heard just now.

……

Wiki is really a famous name. The future "Wikipedia" has always heard of it. It is based on the concept of Wiki + encyclopedia.

I seem to remember that Wikipedia was started around 2000. I didn't expect that wiki had existed in 1997, and the meaning of listening to ward was developed in 1995. It's really a cow. I thought, how did this guy run into my party to find a venture capitalist.

The more he listened to ward Cunningham's words, the more Li Feng felt that this was the famous "wiki" he had heard of in future generations, that is, the foundation of Wikipedia in the future.

However, Li Feng also knows that it seems that the future Wikipedia should not be founded by the bearded ward. It seems that the bearded didn't seize the opportunity.

For the application of Wiki, the biggest one in the future is Wikipedia, but it is a non advertising and pure public welfare. Therefore, there is no way to make money, but it is the best opportunity to get fame.

Then he began to discuss with him with a smile. At this time, ward proposed a business model. Many people say that knowledge belongs to all mankind, but in fact, this is just a beautiful propaganda and fantasy. We should know that people need to spend money to acquire knowledge.

This has been the case since ancient times. In ancient times, it is not said that knowledge is firmly controlled by rulers, even in modern civilization. To put it bluntly, buying a book and acquiring knowledge through the Secretary also means that you spend money and get knowledge through learning.

In fact, ward Cunningham's development is similar, that is, editing various knowledge points through intellectuals. Some contents can provide free query, while others need to be charged.

……

Li Feng is really not interested in Ward's charging model. After all, Li Feng knows that Wikipedia in the future is completely free, and Wikipedians are famous all over the world.

Li Feng is thinking about Wikipedia. Although it doesn't make money, it is a good thing to gain great reputation. And as long as the Internet exists, this thing can definitely exist for a long time. It's really famous in history.

Moreover, if Wikipedia can really reach the scale of future generations, its accumulated knowledge and some secrets of the world are the greatest wealth. Li Feng can't help it.

"What do you think, Mr. Li?"

"Very good development design, a little interesting." Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Are you interested in investing in something?" Asked ward Cunningham, a little excited.

Well, Li Feng is a little speechless. The concept of wiki is actually free on the Internet. Therefore, Li Feng is really wondering whether ward understands his words.

Good development and interesting are just admiration for Wikipedia and the future Wikipedia model. As for ward Cunningham's things, that's it.

Ward's proposal means a more commercial one, which needs a large number of experts and scholars to provide knowledge, but Li Feng knows that this limits the dissemination, and there is no mass base, no flow, etc., which means that ward only wants the self entertainment of a group of lonely intellectuals.

It seems that later generations of Wikipedia followed this path at the beginning, and all of them were free. It was found that only these experts taught too little information and knowledge to edit, and few people saw it. It ended in failure. After summing up the experience and lessons, it finally took a more open attitude with the combination of Wiki and encyclopedia, To make Wikipedia really popular all over the world.

……

"Sorry, I'm not responsible for investing now, but I'll give your ideas to my investment department. If they think it's good, maybe we'll have a chance to cooperate."

"I hope so..."

Next, Li Feng asked for ward Cunningham's contact information. Although he was not interested in investing, Li Feng first left someone else's phone number out of the possibility of Wiki and future Wikipedia.

Next, the Chinese in the field also began to talk about their projects to several investors. It turned out that people also wanted to invest. Unfortunately, a Chinese student who wants to succeed in the United States is still difficult to get the favor of venture capital before making specific products.

In fact, the same is true. Although this international student named Bruce Deng and Chinese name Deng Feng is now an engineer of Intel, he is only one of many engineers in Intel. Maybe he can earn $100000 a year. In these days, he may also be a "gold collar".

Others are not interested in him, but Li Feng is very interested. However, Li Feng is more interested in incorporating him and the team behind him. In fact, he has been looking for the person in charge of the relevant network security department.

Previously, Feixun company has established a network security department. Unfortunately, there are no top talents to join for the time being, and it is still relatively weak. Therefore, it is very interested in seeing Chinese students start a business in Silicon Valley and founded a firewall called green network in terms of network security.

"Deng Feng, right? Well, today is not the time to talk. This is Eric Schmidt, CEO of Feixun company. Call him tomorrow. You can have a good chat then." Li Feng said with a smile.

Although it is not clear whether their entrepreneurship will succeed in the future, Li Feng still wants to help others. If they are really top talents, Li Feng really wants to recruit others. Even if they are in charge of the security department, there is no problem. Therefore, Eric Schmidt is going to ask someone to test their ability first.

……

Li Feng then told people in Chinese. At this time, Deng Feng was also very happy. Originally, he knew that St. John Li, the boss of Feixun company, held a party today. He knew that there were many venture capitalists and capital consortia.

Holding the idea of looking for investment, I mixed in through Intel. I didn't expect to really meet the master here. Who is St. John Lee? As an international student from China, Deng Feng, who wants to gain a foothold in the United States, naturally knows.

Today, St. John Lee is a typical representative of the American dream, which is not only an American Idol, but also an example of Chinese Americans.

If Li Feng can be interested in his own project, perhaps his entrepreneurial road and several small partners will enter a new level. Maybe he will be really lucky, Deng Feng thought with a little excitement in his heart.
