When Li Mu talked about the first half, everyone's expressions were still under control, but when he mentioned that the monthly turnover exceeds 500 million US dollars, the audience was in an uproar!
The horrifying hissing sounds can even penetrate the eardrums when they are gathered together. Everyone is stunned. Just such an idea can create 500 million US dollars in revenue in a month? ! It's absolutely terrifying! Especially those business school students, whose expressions are already somewhat doubtful about life.
Seeing that everyone was surprised about the money, Li Mu laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "I think what's more surprising among these data is that we can use a website to help millions of college students work-study, instead of the fact that we created a How much money is lost? If I am proud to tell you, because of 3321, the per capita monthly part-time income of millions of college students has exceeded three hundred US dollars. What really makes me proud of this is the millions of college students who have gained tangible benefits from 3321. .”
Only then did the tens of thousands of college students in the audience come to their senses. They had been frightened by the $500 million just now, but after hearing this from Li Mu, they immediately realized the power of a platform that could help millions of college students earn part-time income.
At this time, Li Mu dropped another bombshell: "You may not know that the 3321 team will draw 5% from the transaction volume of both supply and demand sides. In other words, we will directly draw 5% of the monthly turnover of US$500 million. 5% is used as platform revenue, and an additional 5% is collected from parents. This 5% is not included in the turnover concept. In other words, 3321's monthly gross profit has reached 50 million US dollars. above."
This number shocked everyone again!
Fifty million US dollars monthly income! That’s $600 million a year! If the valuation rules for companies in the capital market are followed and calculated at least ten times the PE, Li Mu's 3321 will be valued at more than six billion US dollars!
Everyone looked at Li Mu in disbelief. They thought this young man was extremely amazing, but they didn't expect that he actually had a hidden industry worth billions of dollars.
At this time, Li Mu looked at the tens of thousands of shocked college students in the audience, smiled calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Don't get too excited, everyone. Although 3321's revenue data is very scary, 3321 itself is a non-profit organization. From our monthly profits, after deducting all normal operating expenses, all the remaining money will be used to establish an educational charity fund.”
Having said this, Li Mu paused and said with a meaningful smile: "Moreover, our educational charity fund is different from the American charity fund. Everyone should be well aware that American law stipulates that private charitable funds use up their funds every year. 5% of total assets can perfectly avoid various taxes, and the law does not even require that these 5% must be spent on charity. So I have seen a survey and found that many so-called charitable funds in the United States are actually used for charity. The amount of funds is less than 3% of the total assets of the fund. Some foundations for critically ill patients even spend tens of millions of dollars on patients, but not even 100,000 dollars. However, our educational charity fund, All funds are used in the field of charity, and all accounts are open to the whole society. If your Chinese is good enough, you can download a breakdown of our charitable fund expenditures last month from 3321 to see how we spend every penny of our money. Where the money is spent.”
As soon as these words came out, tens of thousands of college students were shocked beyond words!
With such a large platform, such high turnover, and such high-quality profit-making projects, Li Mu didn't make any money? ! Oh my god, how can you not make profits of hundreds of millions of dollars a year? ! And all of it is used for educational charity, really all of it! 100%! This... this is really awesome!
I don’t know who was the first to come to his senses and start applauding. Only then did the tens of thousands of people present gradually recover from the shock and applauded desperately.
I don’t know who stood up first in the stands, so everyone in the stands in the entire stadium stood up and applauded!
If the creation of Makino Technology made these college students admire and worship, then the story of 3321 that Li Mu just told made these college students regard him as a god!
So great! It's so great!
Americans also like to engage in charity. There are countless charitable funds that Americans themselves are overwhelmed with. However, top students from Harvard and MIT know too well how capitalists operate!
The United States has extremely high inheritance taxes, so much so that billionaires are reluctant to directly inherit their assets to their descendants. In order to avoid taxes, they have established so-called charitable funds under various names. As long as they put the money in the foundation, they can Directly avoid a large amount of taxes, so many wealthy people's charity funds are just a cover for tax avoidance in the name of charity. The best way is to "donate" the money to your own charity foundation, and then let your children actually Management, how to use the money at that time is 95% up to you. Even if you use your own charity fund to buy yourself a US$100 million mansion, as long as US$100 million does not exceed 95% of the total assets, this will It’s all legal…
Therefore, nowadays, only people abroad who do not understand American law will praise the behavior of wealthy Americans in donating to various foundations. Those who truly understand the reasons have long scorned this practice.
In this social context, Li Mu's charity fund is simply a clear stream among the clean streams. All net profits are rushed into the fund pool. 100% of all funds are used for charity and the accounts are open and subject to supervision by the whole society! This is real money and money for charity! Use hundreds of millions of dollars in cash a year for charity! And it’s charity without any discounts!
Compared with Li Mu, some hypocritical rich people in the United States are simply despicable and worthless!
The audience in the audience went crazy. More than 30,000 top students from the world's top universities found their true life idols at this moment!
After the applause lasted for two or three minutes, it finally stopped gradually, and every college student present looked at Li Mu with eyes that were approaching fanaticism...
The leaders of Harvard did not expect that Li Mu would have such a powerful, even terrifying, appeal to this group of young people!
After the applause, Li Mu was unfazed and continued with a calm face: "What I am most proud of about 3321 is that we have changed a way to do charity. We did not solicit donations from the society, nor did we apply for any subsidies from the state. We just A healthy industrial chain has been created around charity.”
"We provide a platform for college students to make money part-time, so that they can make money for themselves while also bringing benefits to the platform. Then we use these profits to help those students who have not yet gone to college. In the future, these subsidized students will go to college. After entering college, they can use 3321 to help themselves and at the same time help other students who have not gone to college. This is the ecological closed loop of 3321 and the nuclear reactor that ensures its continued operation."
Li Mu clearly understood this concept, and the students at Harvard and MIT almost burst into tears.
Look at the charity done by others, this is fucking charity! Even doing charity work is so thoughtful, which is really respectable!
As a result, more than 30,000 college students stood up and applauded again, most of them with red eyes.
Li Mu said with a smile at this time: "So, going back to the topic I told you at the beginning, for people of our age, we should have the courage to dare to try and make mistakes. Only in this way can we achieve the greatest success. Self-worth, so if you have an idea, don’t shrink back first, don’t come up with an idea and then come up with a series of reasons to deny it, but have the courage to try and take the first step!”
"Some people say that self-denial is due to caution, but I don't agree with it. In my opinion, that is not prudence, but laziness! One hundred percent laziness! Because as long as you think about anything, there are infinite possibilities, but even if No matter how many possibilities there are for a thing, if you don’t think about it or do it, the possibility of realizing it is zero.”
Speaking of this, Li Mu paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I have an interesting joke that is purely made up:
There was an excellent businessman. One day he said to his son: I want to find you a wife.
The son said, but I prefer to find it myself.
He said, but this girl is the daughter of Bill Gates!
The son said, if that's the case, that's fine.
Then he found Bill Gates and said: I found a husband for your daughter.
Bill Gates said, no, my daughter is still young!
He said, but this young man is the vice president of the World Bank!
Bill Gates said: If this is the case, then yes!
Finally, he found the president of the World Bank and said: I want to recommend a vice president to you!
The president said: But I have too many vice presidents and I don’t need any more!
He said: But this young man is Bill Gates’ son-in-law!
The president said: If that's the case, then it's okay..."
When Li Mu said this, the audience burst into laughter. Although the person in this paragraph was teasing Bill Gates, it was a joke made up by Chinese netizens. However, Li Mu was sure that this joke had not yet been born, so even if he was familiar with it, When Americans like Bill Gates heard this joke, they had no sense of déjà vu at all.
Li Mu's joke may seem humorous, but it also contains many classic truths in the business field, such as: How to be a white wolf with nothing? How to create demand for upstream and downstream? How to better integrate upstream and downstream needs? How to strategize and navigate multi-party business activities with ease
There were all top students in the audience, many of whom were studying business. They could immediately hear the classic principles contained in Li Mu’s funny jokes, and being able to integrate business into such funny jokes made them appreciate Li Mu’s sense of humor. I have a new understanding.
At this time, there was a young man with red eyes in the audience who blushed for a moment. That person was Mark Zuckerberg.
Li Mu's previous speech made Mark Zuckerberg completely his biggest fan. He silently expressed his admiration for Li Mu with his red eyes and secretly wiped away tears.
But at this time, the interesting joke Li Mu said made him think of himself.
Mark Zuckerberg recalled the whole process of "inviting" Li Mu to Harvard, and it was a perfect replica of Li Mu's joke.
He first found the school leaders and boasted that he could invite Li Mu to give a speech at the school. After getting the school's entrustment invitation letter, he sent the invitation letter to Makino Technology, swearing that he was invited to Harvard with the school's entrustment. What the student representative who gave a speech never imagined was that he could actually succeed in this empty-handed game!
