Chapter 2626: Powerlessness

"People like me?" Feng Yiping was silent for a rare moment, looking up at the sky.

The sky is blue, clear, and beautiful, but it is also far away and difficult to reach.

"We have recently invested in many companies in China, and we plan to invest in more companies in China, because there is no shortage of people with ideas, abilities, dreams, and adventurous spirit in China,"

"At the same time, China has already accumulated a lot of experience and achieved good results in related fields. I fully believe that with the efforts of so many people, China will be no less than Silicon Valley in the Internet field in the future,"

"At the beginning of its development, domestic Internet companies have learned a lot from the models of Silicon Valley companies, but in the future, I can be sure that Internet companies including Silicon Valley will also learn from the models of some domestic companies,"

The people who participated in the interview, including the host Shui, were very excited to hear such words.

Putting aside other things, who doesn't want to be someone who is chased and imitated?

"Mr. Feng, sorry to interrupt. How long do you think it will take for such a future to come?"

"I predict that such a future will come true in 5 years, or at most 10 years,"

"At that time, a group of very representative world-class Internet companies will emerge in China, and among those companies, there must be companies that have created some new business models,"

"The more I know about domestic entrepreneurs, the clearer my understanding of this point is,"

"Although we also started relatively late in the Internet field, the understanding of the Internet by domestic entrepreneurs is far deeper than that of entrepreneurs in other countries in the world that I have seen,"

"But I think that in the future, there will be fewer and fewer young people like me who can start a business successfully at such a young age,"

This is naturally an answer that many people did not expect.

According to Feng Yiping's previous style, he would have repeatedly and modestly stated that his success was very lucky, and that there would definitely be more young people who would surpass him on the road of entrepreneurship in the future.

At least, he could also give a very general answer, "Of course there will be,"

But "fewer and fewer"?

The host Shui wondered if he had interviewed a fake Feng Yiping.

Because, from the beginning to now, Feng Yiping's style is really different from the style in his impression.

It's not arrogant. After all, even if it is arrogant, Feng Yiping is still qualified to be arrogant now.

But at least, he is not as gentle and humble as before. Just looking at his eyes, you can feel the sharpness released from him.

He really doesn't understand why Feng Yiping has such a change.

"What is the specific reason, or the main reason?" asked the host.

"On the one hand, such a result is inevitable due to social development," Feng Yiping said, "With the overall improvement of our national economic level and the gradual increase in everyone's income, in the future, there will be a large number of people who have no need to change their destiny through entrepreneurship."

"Just like the people in many developed countries in Europe and the United States now, as long as they find a decent job, they can enjoy the middle-class life safely."

In that case, many people naturally have no need to start a business.

Because starting a business will definitely bear much greater pressure than working for others, and there is also the risk of complete failure.

Later, more and more people became dependent on their parents because they had the capital to do so. Otherwise, let’s try the people born in the 70s or 60s and see how they depend on their parents.

“Can I understand it this way? That is, we will have less entrepreneurial impulse in the future,” concluded Shui.

Feng Yiping nodded approvingly, "That's what I mean,"

"But another more important point is the heavy pressure they will bear in the future, and the increasing cost of starting a business,"

"We can imagine that in the future, whether it is Peking University or Tsinghua University, when they find out after graduation that they can't afford a decent house, let alone one around the school, or even in the school's location, how much courage and confidence will they have to start a business?"

"Let alone starting a business, it's already very fortunate that they haven't been crushed by the huge gap in reality,"

"Or, we can imagine that in the future, many of our listed companies may not make as much profit as the value of a property in the capital, or that a listed company that was originally loss-making, after selling a property under its umbrella, actually turned losses into profits and handed in a satisfactory answer to shareholders..."

"Doing scientific research is not as good as speculating in real estate, famous universities are not as good as speculating in real estate, working is not as good as speculating in real estate, and starting a business is not as good as speculating in real estate... In that case, who will start a business?"

"So what you mean is that the current rising housing prices will have a huge impact on our entrepreneurship in the future?" Shui Zhuzhu concluded.

"If we don't change our current thinking, I think the result will undoubtedly be like that," Feng Yiping said.

People who are familiar with him will definitely understand Feng Yiping's routine: the rising housing prices will become the source of all kinds of evil in the future...

And if Mr. Zhou saw Feng Yiping's interview today, he would definitely say, "You started to act so quickly?"

The well-informed Shui host, who has interviewed many foreign politicians, also doesn't quite understand Feng Yiping's words, and even thinks that Feng Yiping's words are too imprecise. Will the value of a property in the capital be higher than the profits of many listed companies in the future?

How is it possible for a company like that to go public? ——I can only say that people nowadays are still too honest.

"Mr. Feng, are you saying that the reason why there won't be entrepreneurs as successful as you in the future is mainly because of our high housing prices?" This is the first time that Host Shui has been completely thrown off track. .

By the way, if the person being interviewed was not Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping spoke so seriously, he might really interrupt the interview at this time.

"Not only that, high housing prices will be the main reason for many problems in our economy in the future," Feng Yiping said. "In the future, when many of us talk about housing prices, they will probably not be as indifferent as they are now. Yes, with awe,"

Are you in awe of housing prices? Is this really the case?

Feng Yiping seemed to see what he was thinking and nodded seriously, "I will definitely do it!"

"I think the biggest shortcoming of our government is not that we interfere too much in many aspects of the economy, but that we interfere too little in the real estate industry,"

“So much so that the residents’ housing issues are all left to the market,”

"There is no country or region in the world that completely lets the market take action in this regard, because the result will be a continuous rise in real estate prices,"

"What's more, due to some characteristics of our country, in the future, it is not even ruled out that some local governments will join forces with developers to actively drive up housing prices in order to increase income."

"Because obviously there can't be anything easier than selling land to generate income,"

Host Shui had already noticed something deeply wrong. First of all, what Feng Yiping said was a bit more sensitive than he expected. Secondly, this is really not the focus of our interview, okay? ——He is better than Masayoshi Son. He still remembers what the focus of his interview should be.

"Mr. Feng, I think we fully understand what you mean,"

Feng Yiping looked at him and knew that he probably didn't understand either, but what could he say?

In the next two years, the high-end residential area by the Huangpu River, which is priced at more than 100,000 yuan per square meter, not only caused an uproar among the people across the country, but also attracted the intervention of many departments. In the future, it will not be a problem at all?

Because, within the second ring road of the capital, there are actually houses with a price of less than 100,000 per square meter. Is that the news that will attract everyone's attention?

The richest man with assets of more than 200 billion yuan may seem very impressive. In fact, within the jurisdiction of most street offices in the second ring road of the capital, the total value of residences alone, excluding the properties of government agencies, can easily exceed the total value of several houses with assets exceeding 2,000 yuan. The richest man worth RMB 100 million?

People who are not as heroic and romantic as Li Bai would not be able to imagine such a situation now.

Host Shui has quickly brought the topic back to the direction he had originally set, "Mr. Feng, in your opinion, in what aspects do domestic high-tech companies have no advantages compared to Silicon Valley?"

“Compared with Silicon Valley, what shortcomings does Zhongguancun have that need to be made up for?”

“Is Jiasheng’s department here focusing on these aspects?”…

Feng Yiping sighed softly, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
