Chapter 705: The Unknown Other Half
Lu Yiming took Wang Yubing to find Long Qiquan.
The rule in the hacker circle is that one never uses real names, so he is called Gu Jian.
And Long Qiquan happened to know Gu Jian.
Looking at the slightly plump young man in front of him, Long Qiquan was very surprised.
"I never thought I would be able to meet Gu Jian face to face."
Gu Jian nodded slightly in response. Lu Yiming said to Long Qiquan, "Professor Long, take us to the cloud computing laboratory."
"cloud computing?"
Wang Yubing was shocked when he heard this term.
For today's era, cloud computing is a completely next-generation technology and a benchmark for the Internet 2.0 era.
Long Qiquan said: "Yes, we are conducting preliminary research on cloud computing. This topic was initiated by Lu Yiming, who has done a lot of important basic theoretical work."
Wang Yubing had never expected that Lu Yiming would start developing cloud computing so quickly.
Long Qiquan took the two people into the laboratory for a tour and showed them the research progress of cloud computing.
Lu Yiming said to Wang Yubing: "The bursting of the tech bubble means that the Internet technology of the old era is outdated. In the next new era, how to enable more users to use network services conveniently and quickly has become an urgent problem to be solved in the development of the Internet. This is one of the original intentions of entrusting Professor Long to study cloud computing."
After seeing that Lu Yiming actually had such a long-term strategic vision, Wang Yubing's impression of Lu Yiming changed greatly.
Lu Yiming went on to say, "In the field of cloud computing, our Xia country still has the first-mover advantage, but the American e-commerce company Amazon has also quickly begun to develop large-scale computing technology, providing users with more powerful computing services. That's why I took advantage of the Alipay attack and defense opportunity to recruit heroes on the Internet."
After the conversation, Wang Yubing had a deeper understanding of Lu Yiming and discovered another side of Lu Yiming that was unknown to others.
Apart from making money, Lu Yiming actually wants to change the world!
This is wonderful!
Wang Yubing has plenty of time, money, and intelligence. He is a standard protagonist in any domineering CEO novel.
Precisely because he has everything he needs, ordinary things hardly arouse his interest.
But changing the world is so cool!
He felt that playing with Lu Yiming seemed to be a good choice. He was tired of the monotony of life, so if he could try something different, why not join in?
Lu Yiming said to Wang Yubing, "Amazon was the first to come up with cloud computing, and only companies like this have the greatest demand for this thing. I plan to let Luming Mall also adopt the cloud computing platform, and connect it with the Alipay system. If you are willing to come, I can let you be the head of the network technology department of Luming Mall first, and change the world with your own hands!"
Wang Yubing nodded slightly and said, "It sounds good."
Saying this means you agree.
Lu Yiming was very happy. Now Yixun Technology's technical team is very large, and it is heading for a scale of 1,000 people. However, the newly born Luming Mall's technical department is still an empty shell, and it urgently needs a master to take the lead. Now Wang Yubing has emerged, of course, he is very suitable for this position.
"Luming Mall, welcome to join us and change the world together."
Luming Mall was planned to follow the path of JD.com, so he attached great importance to it. Now with Wang Yubing joining, the technology aspect was definitely in hand.
Wang Yubing shook hands with Lu Yiming, and he actually had a vague expectation for the new job he was about to have.
"I want to see how you change the world."
Facing Lu Yiming, the richest man in Asia, Wang Yubing did not show any weakness. In terms of wealth alone, although he was not as good as Lu Yiming, he was better than Lu Yiming, and he had no worries about food and clothing and a good family background. The gap between having money and having no money is huge, but the gap between having money and being richer is not that big.
Lu Yiming said: "There must be many experts in your circle. I hope you can let them join in. I will give you autonomy in this network security department."
Wang Yubing nodded slightly. Since he had decided to do it, he would naturally try his best to do it well. Just like when he taught himself programming, since he had decided to do it, he would do it to the best of his ability. This was the arrogance of a top student.
After visiting the laboratory, Wang Yubing left.
In the afternoon, Lu Yiming had a professional class. After lunch, he and Shi Qingxue took a walk in the school and then went to the classroom with their textbooks.
The classroom was very lively. A group of people gathered together chattering, and from time to time bursts of envious exclamations appeared.
Lu Yiming spotted Ni Cong who was sitting in his seat reading Story Club, so he walked over and sat next to him. He pouted at the group of people and asked, "It's so lively, what are they talking about?"
Ni Cong curled his lips and said with disdain, "That idiot Qi Minghui is showing off in front of this girl, saying that he has a paper in hand and plans to publish it in the Journal of Computers."
"Oh, it's him."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly.
Qi Minghui is a famous person in the class. His parents are both professors in the computer department of Fu Ri University. They are engaged in theoretical research and have a certain reputation in the domestic computer field. Qi Minghui is also a famous teacher. Under the education of two professors at home, he has shown outstanding computer talent since he was a child and has won many computer awards since he was a child.
Recently, with the help of his parents, one of his papers has taken shape. Today, he even mailed the article to the editorial office of the Journal of Computers, and he couldn't wait to show off in the classroom.
Being able to publish papers in professional journals while still in college is a typical behavior of a top student. It can even be used as a basis for admission to graduate school, so naturally everyone will envy you.
"Lu Yiming, you are finally here. Here, this letter is for you."
Squad leader Lei Yifan walked towards Lu Yiming with a letter in his hand.
"I just went to the mail room to get the mail, and everyone in my class brought it over together."
Lu Yiming took the letter and said to Lei Yifan with a smile: "Thank you, squad leader."
Lei Yifan quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my duty."
Are you kidding? Lu Yiming is the richest man in Asia! If he hadn't been lucky enough to be his classmate, how could he have had the chance to help the richest man in Asia get the letter?
Ni Cong came over and said, "Someone else wrote to you? Could it be a love letter from some girl?"
Someone wrote a love letter to Lu Yiming?
Ni Cong's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Someone wrote a love letter to Lu Yiming?
This is huge gossip!
It is well known in the school that Lu Yiming is the richest man in Asia.
And the fact that Shi Qingxue is Lu Yiming's girlfriend is also known to everyone in the school.
People who were close to them even knew that the two of them had moved into the magnificent old villa in Lu Family Garden together as early as their freshman year.
Logically speaking, Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue are already an "old married couple", so there is naturally no need for them to write love letters.
Then, only other girls would write love letters to Lu Yiming.
And this letter was sent to the school from outside, so the person who wrote the love letter was not from this school...
Everyone analyzed it in their minds and then came to exciting conclusions.
A girl from another school wrote a love letter to Lu Yiming!
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Faced with the whispers and speculations around him, Lu Yiming glared at Ni Cong, the instigator, before opening the envelope.
Inside the envelope was a beautifully folded piece of letter paper.
The students nearby stretched their necks to look over, trying to catch some juicy gossip.
But what no one expected was that the entire letter was written in English, which looked quite impressive.
Ni Cong said with a smile: "Good fellow, you guys are quite romantic."
Lu Yi understood him at a glance and said, "Take a good look at this. This is a letter from the English magazine Nature."
"What? Nature wrote to you?"
"Do you know what the level of Nature magazine is? Write to you?"
In everyone's mind, Nature magazine is the jewel in the crown of papers. Being able to publish a paper in Nature magazine means that you have the world's top academic achievements. Nature magazine is fair and authoritative, and it will not bow down for a few dollars. Even if Lu Yiming is the richest man in Asia, Nature magazine will not even look at him.
Will Nature magazine write a letter to Lu Yiming?
What a joke!
Unless Lu Yiming has top academic research results!
Some people remembered that Lu Yiming had published an academic paper in Nature magazine before, but the main body of that research result was MoXin Technology, and except for Lu Yiming, all the researchers were professors and doctors from Zhonghai University.
Therefore, many people were subconsciously dissatisfied with this matter. They felt that Lu Yiming, as a student of Fu Ri University, had mixed up with people from Zhonghai Jiaotong University, and gave Zhonghai Jiaotong University the title of the first research paper published by a college student in Nature magazine, which was a betrayal to Fu Ri University.
Lu Yiming was too lazy to pay attention to these people and just started reading the letter.
The content of the letter was simple, telling Lu Yiming that his research results on the "verification code" system had been published in the latest issue of Nature magazine. A copy of the latest issue of Nature magazine was also attached to the letter.
Lu Yiming had already obtained both domestic and international invention patents for the "verification code" system through his connections, and directly sent the paper he wrote at the time to Nature magazine, killing two birds with one stone.
After reading it, Lu Yiming put it aside. Ni Cong quickly took it and took a look. He glanced at it and immediately shouted, "Damn, you published another paper in Nature! Independent research results! And you got a patent for your invention?"
This voice immediately attracted everyone.
College students, invention patents, published in Nature magazine.
Compared to this, the impact of gossip or love affairs is several levels lower!
Qi Minghui sat in his seat, looking upright, but he was actually very conflicted. He had only passed the preliminary review of a small domestic professional journal, but now Lu Yiming had published a paper in the most authoritative comprehensive international journal. The gap was huge.
He wanted to go over and see what was going on; after all, this was a patent published in the journal Nature.
But he felt he couldn't bring himself to do it.
If he hadn't boasted just now, he would have gone over to watch the fun without any psychological burden. But now, he had just boasted about how awesome he was, and now he felt a little embarrassed to go over and join in the fun.
Of course, Lu Yiming hadn't thought of this at all. He directly stuffed the letter to Ni Cong and said, "Go, go, go and read it. Don't stand in front of me."
After class, Long Qiquan and Wang Hongsheng appeared at the door of the classroom.
Wang Hongsheng shouted to Lu Yiming: "Lu Yiming, come here."
Lu Yiming ran out and greeted, "Principal Wang, Professor Long."
Wang Hongsheng said to Lu Yiming: "I just heard that you have obtained another international invention patent and published a paper in Nature magazine?"
Lu Yiming said naturally: "Yes, is there any problem?"
Seeing Lu Yiming's nonchalant expression, Wang Hongsheng and Long Qiquan felt like their teeth were broken.
It's Nature! Can't you be a little more excited?!
Not to mention how awesome it is for college students to be able to publish papers in Nature magazine, even for the president of a top university like Wang Hongsheng, being able to lead the way in publishing papers in Nature magazine is an amazing qualification.
Not to mention Long Qiquan. With his current status, he would wake up laughing in his dreams even if his name was mentioned on a paper in Nature magazine.
After all, it is the most authoritative magazine recognized internationally, it is so important!
"What's the problem? It's a huge problem!"
Wang Hongsheng was a little excited.
"If you had told us in advance, we would have been able to promote you. You are a student of Fu Ri University. It is a glory for Fu Ri University to have achieved such an achievement!"
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said quickly, "Not really, not really. I just felt that the payment software was inconvenient to use without the verification code. I really didn't think it would become such a big deal. I applied for a patent and thought that since I had already written the paper, I might as well publish it."
Wang Hongsheng: “…”
Long Qiquan: “…”
"Do you always talk so irritatingly?"
"Is it annoying?"
"Very angry! At least I am very angry now! Forget it, it hurts my self-esteem. Professor Long, come on, have a couple of drinks with me at noon."
"Well, let's go. Don't pay attention to this guy."
Watching the two of them leave arm in arm, Lu Yiming couldn't help but scratch his head.
You didn't invite me to drink?!
After returning to the dormitory and putting away his books, Lu Yiming called Shi Qingxue and planned to go out for a big meal.
Just then, Lu Yiming received a call. The number was very long and didn't seem like a serious number, so Lu Yiming hung up directly.
After a while, the call came again and Lu Yiming had to answer it.
"Hello? Who is this?"
A person on the other end of the phone started speaking English. It took Lu Yiming a while to figure out that it was Musk calling.
He has now become the CEO of PayPal and is currently preparing for the company's IPO. He saw the verification code system published by Lu Yiming in the journal Nature and thought it could be used on PayPal, so he quickly called Lu Yiming.
Musk said excitedly: "I am very optimistic about the new transaction mode of online payment, but the network security problem also plagues the company's further development. You are a shareholder of PayPal and should consider the interests of the company."
Lu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "PayPal should be negotiating with eBay. Verification code technology is indeed an important bargaining chip."
eBay's own payment software was defeated by PayPal on its own platform, and it has already made acquisition offers to Musk and others several times.
Because of Lu Yiming's capital injection and advice, PayPal has developed better than ever before, which means that if eBay wants to acquire it, it must pay a higher price. Especially now that Lu Yiming has the trump card of verification code in his hand.
Musk was already dancing with joy on the other end of the phone: "Right! I saw a paper about verification code in a journal and got a lot of inspiration from it. Mr. Lu, you are really a genius!"
Musk himself is also a genius, so it's natural that he and Lu Yiming appreciate each other.
Lu Yiming didn't have a good impression of this guy, but he didn't have a bad impression of him either. After all, all American capitalists were like this. At least he brought some fun to everyone, which was much better than those boring guys.
The reason why he had no good impression of him was because of the car that this guy used to make money from, and he also vigorously developed animal husbandry in Xia Country and raised a lot of sheepdogs, so that Lu Yiming often encountered beasts when he was surfing the Internet.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "What is genius? According to Edison, genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration."
Musk said: "That's only half the story. He also said: But sometimes the one percent of inspiration is more important than the ninety-nine percent of perspiration."
This sentence - or to be more precise, the first half of it - once appeared in large numbers on the walls of primary and secondary school buildings, made of tiles.
But the interesting thing is that, the so-called "famous quotes" on these tiles all have only the half mentioned by Lu Yiming, while the half mentioned by Musk has never been seen by anyone before.
Another famous saying similar to this is "Repay evil with virtue" by Confucius.
What does it mean? Confucius taught us that if someone bullies you, you should endure it and swallow your broken teeth. If someone bullies you, you should treat him better and influence him with your love and move him with your heart.
Isn't this fucking insane?
The original text comes from the Analects of Confucius: Questioning the Constitution: "How about repaying grievances with virtue?" Confucius said: "How should I repay virtue? Repay grievances with justice, and repay virtue with virtue."
It means that if someone bullies you, you use your virtue to influence him, but if someone is good to you, how should you repay them? If someone bullies you, you beat them back, and if someone is good to you, you should be good to them.
This is how a normal person thinks.
It also fits the image of Confucius, a 1.9-meter-tall man from Qi and Lu.
You know, this was a tough guy who dared to go on a self-driving tour in a war zone more than two thousand years ago.
Is it possible for him to repay evil with kindness?
Facing Musk's correction, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't worry about these details."
Musk said: "According to the plan, PayPal will be listed in more than two months, and you are a major shareholder of the company. I think you should attend."
