Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 245 There are only two countries
Wang Ye patiently explained:
"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 due to the fact that the number of people who use Russian is not enough, the future of the Russian-language 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 the number of people who speak these two languages ​​is the largest! "

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "America and China?"

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

"Why are you optimistic about these two countries? Oh, it goes without saying that everyone is optimistic about the United States. The problem is China, and China doesn't seem to be doing well now." Gobrev asked.

There is no way, let alone the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, even if it had not disintegrated, the United States would undoubtedly be the world's most powerful country!
It can be said that it is leading the world in all aspects!
The Internet was also invented in Laomei, and it gradually became popular.

So Wang Ye is optimistic about Laomei, which is normal. After all, 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 can’t be blamed that Goblev underestimated China. After all, China had just reformed and opened to the outside world, and the economy hadn’t really started to take off!

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

Many people, including foreigners, have the impression that things produced in China mean "cheap and poor quality", which will not get better anyway.

When foreign countries talk about China, it is synonymous with poverty and backwardness!

Although Russia's economy is also not doing very well, relying on the rich family left by the former Soviet Union and the money from selling 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 even said that he is optimistic about the development of its Internet industry.

That is to say, elites like Gobrev, they know a little about China.

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

Oh, or, is China electrified...

…………

Hearing Gebrev's question, Wang Ye was also very helpless.

But he can understand that, except for him who "comes back" after 20 years, at this time in 2001, no one in the world would have imagined that China would be so powerful more than ten years later!
It was so powerful that it began to threaten Lao Mei's dominance, and Lao Mei became panicked...

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

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

This explanation sounds reasonable.

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

When he heard Ah San, Wang Ye smiled disdainfully and said, "Should they solve the problem of food and clothing first, and talk about development? That's still far away 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.

It is no problem to invest 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 make a profit in the early stage, and it all depends on venture capital funds.

Now that the country's economy is relatively difficult, those oligarchs who are really rich are not willing to throw money into the bottomless pit of the Internet industry.

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

The meaning of these words is very clear, that is to tell Wang Ye not to spend all his money abroad, but to keep a little for the country anyway.

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

Wang Ye nodded readily, "I understand that now I have 20 billion US dollars in funds that can be used for venture capital investment. With this money, I will at least leave [-] to [-] billion US dollars in the country to support a few companies with potential company of."

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

Many people may not know that the Holy Light Machine University in Petersburg, Russia has been suppressing Stanford, Caltech and other world famous universities for many years in the most authoritative international college student programming competition, and won many team championships!

There is also Moscow's Institute of Physics and Technology, known as "Russia's MIT."

In terms of education, Russia is really not inferior to developed countries in Europe and America.

The former Soviet Union left too many awesome things in education. During the Cold War, the former Soviet Union raised education to the height of 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 invests a lot of money in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in schools. learned this educational system.

The Olympic mathematics competition that tortured countless Chinese students was initiated by the former Soviet Union in 1934...

Russia is also far ahead of the world in terms of the proportion of nationals who have received higher education, and has always been No.1!
It is a pity that due to the "sequelae" left by the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the economic sluggishness during the period of social unrest, Russia missed the golden age of Internet development.

As a result, most of the talents have flowed out, and several 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!
