Around 2000, when the mainland entered a stage of rapid development, and some domestic intellectuals chose to go abroad to get a better life, it was a pity that this part of the brain drain was really a pity.
Stimulated by this craze for going abroad, few people can resist living in a more affluent life abroad and return to China to build their motherland after further study.
And there is such a person, who has spent 27 years in the United States, gave up the green card at his fingertips, chose to move hundreds of companies, withdrew hundreds of billions of funds, and invested 95% in the Chinese market!
1. Born in Taiwan Province and studying in the United States
Kai-Fu Lee, former vice president of Google, was the first cutting-edge talent to design a continuous speech recognition system for non-specific people, and his half-life resume is brilliant.
In 1961, Kai-Fu Lee was born in New Taipei City, Taiwan Province, China, and his solid family conditions laid the foundation for Kai-Fu Lee's future education.
After 11-year-old Lee Kai-fu completed primary school, he followed his brother to the United States to study. After adapting to the differences in life abroad, Kai-Fu Lee excelled in his studies, and later was admitted to the prestigious Columbia University, where he successfully entered his beloved computer science major.
Talent coupled with my super research spirit, Kai-Fu Lee and his classmates created the first non-specific person continuous speech recognition system during college, and Kai-Fu Lee's reputation as a genius was completely launched in the United States!
2. Accept Microsoft's invitation
After winning numerous awards, Kai-Fu Lee ended his college career perfectly and came to Carnegie Mellon University to study again.
Five years later, Kai-Fu Lee graduated from the university with a doctorate. Glittering resumes attract large companies like Google and Microsoft.
In the end, Kai-Fu Lee chose to accept Microsoft's invitation to serve as a key technical staff member in Microsoft, and has his own team in the company to create high-yield technologies - natural language processing, etc., Microsoft is even more like a treasure, and attaches great importance to Kai-Fu Lee!
Immediately, Google targeted this high-tech talent, took away Kai-Fu Lee with a high salary, and promised him the position of vice president of the head office, so Kai-Fu Lee jumped to Google, but the job-hopping behavior brought him some trouble.
3. Jumping ship to Google caused a lawsuit
Microsoft took Kai-Fu Lee to court for infringing on company secrets, and this incident planted the seeds in his heart to return to China.
No matter what they develop abroad, they will grow their foreign forces, and once they are not satisfied, they will be in an extremely passive position.
Google is complacent about getting a talent that major companies are competing for, and seeing that Kai-Fu Lee is entangled in lawsuits, in order to strengthen Kai-Fu Lee's idea of jumping ship to his own company, it will do its best to help Kai-Fu Lee win the lawsuit.
After Kai-Fu Lee joined Google, Google has gained wings and momentum.
At the same time, Lee Kai-Fu was appointed president of Google in China, and his position in Google is unparalleled.
Despite his career, Kai-Fu Lee has achieved enough to stand at the top of the world. In terms of feelings, Li Kai's mood to return to the country to serve is increasing day by day.
Not only because of the previous Microsoft lawsuit, but also because as the team led by him developed more and more achievements in the field of computers, he felt that he could not sit back and watch the country miss this development opportunity.
Fourth, resign as president of Google and return home with 100 billion
In 2009, the then 49-year-old Kai-Fu Lee decided to withdraw his assets from Google and resign and return to China.
Google's top management was shocked and unanimously said that the conditions could be negotiated, but if it didn't work, they could give Lee Kai-fu a high amount of Google shares.
This incident alarmed the U.S. government even more, and offered to issue him a green card.
Because according to the industry, 864 local companies chose to come to China with Kai-Fu Lee after he expressed his intention to return to China, which will have a great impact on the development of Silicon Valley in the United States.
Lee Kai-fu did not get lost in the lure of lucrative profits, and then after a year-long handover, in 2010, Lee Kai-fu successfully returned to China with 100 billion assets and 864 companies.
After returning to China, Kai-Fu Lee chose to invest in the establishment of an innovation factory in China and incubate many Internet companies for the motherland.
It can be said that the rapid development of China's Internet and computer companies is inseparable from the funding of Kai-Fu Lee's innovation factory, and Kai-Fu Lee's own research results have also provided great help for the mainland to catch up with foreign cutting-edge Internet technology.
In 2013, Kai-Fu Lee had to stop struggling because of lymphoma, and after two years of treatment, Kai-Fu Lee, who was unwilling to be idle, immediately devoted himself to innovation and entrepreneurship.
Kai-Fu Lee is determined to use the innovation factory he founded to give birth to the next global Internet giant for China's technological innovation and fill China's shortage in this area.
The 2024 Zhongguancun Forum will start soon, and Kai-Fu Lee said: The world should look at Zhongguancun just like the world looks at Silicon Valley!
He has been forging ahead in the field of China's technological development.
