What unique experiences shaped Harvey Liu's entrepreneurial journey?
Eventually, the models will be very close to each other. Ordinary users can't really tell too much difference between like a Grok and like a DeepSeq or ChatGPT. What's going to be making the huge difference is focusing on the application side. There's an interesting trend. Meta actually just bought a Chinese company for, I think, $2 billion.
$2 billion, yeah, man.
Yeah. It matters. The company, the entrepreneur, they move out of China because they want their application, the AI agent can be used globally because they don't want sanctions from the States. They are a very strong team. The point is, it's a closed model versus open model compared with Google App Store and Apple App Store, they will coexist.
Forget what you know about the future. While everyone is distracted by the latest AI hype and meme coins, the real revolution is happening right under our noses. My guest today, a tech entrepreneur and early crypto adopter, is here to explain why the next wave of disruption isn't coming from where you expect. We're talking about the quiet giant that's about to tokenize the world. If you want to know where the smart money is really going, you're in the right place. Welcome to Finding Peak. This is the way.
let's go through your journey. Like you started a little bit in the green room and I, and I cut you off because it was so good, but you have a very unique kind of origin story. And although, you know, I usually don't start with origin stories because, you know, I think people hear a lot of the same stuff. Yours is so unique. I think it's really important to hear. So maybe take us all the way back to your father's an entrepreneur. You're growing up in China. Like what was that like? I mean, my audience is predominantly us. And I know for a lot of people in the U S China could essentially be another planet. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just so far away. And I think, uh, and I, you know, being, having spoken to as many people as I have in this show provides me a lot of opportunity to reach out of the States and understand what's going on beyond, um,
I don't think as many people do. And I would love for you to explain a little bit like what does it mean growing up in China, having experienced both the Eastern world and the Western world? You know, what are some of the differences? And, you know, just just start to walk us through that process, because it is such a unique journey to getting to where you are today.
Yes, it is. Yeah. Yes. Let's get started. I was growing up in Tianjin, China. It's a very big city. It has like 13 million populations right now. I think including the populations actually temporarily working there is like 20 million plus. And I grew up there very early in the 80s. I was born in the 80s. I grew up in a very traditional Chinese family. My father used to work for the government and then later on he started his own business in the 90s. And he has been one of the role models for me. So because that's why since I had very strong goals when I grew up, I just want to become someday someone like my father. He's my role model. And when I was young, I was really interested in computer games. And so I had it.
A goal when I grow up, I want to be a computer programmer. I can develop my own games. Then I decided after my high school, I decided to go study abroad. At that time, my English wasn't good. So I studied really hard. I got admitted to one of the universities in Canada. So in 2001, I I went abroad, studied Canada alone, and that's where I started learning English, speaking English, and at the same time, I was studying computer programming as well. After graduation, I was working for one of the internet companies in Canada. And during that time, I was taking care of operations and daily developments of some of the tools we use for business. But also because I was growing up in China, I lived in Canada.
I studied there. I started to realize there's actually greater opportunities. Like I started to invest more.
to apply for one of the top business schools in France.
