Spring Thunder Chapter 0245: All We Want
In the dressing room of the Romantic Flame Restaurant, Leng Yan changed into a maid outfit with a gray and white plaid skirt.
By chance, a waitress came in and asked curiously, "Teresa, didn't you quit? Why are you here again?"
Leng Yan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. "My teaching assistant position has been taken by someone else, so I have no choice but to come back to work."
"What about your job at the sweater factory?" the waitress asked again.
"They are still being worked on. They are paid by piecework over there, but they are paid by the hour here. I can arrange it."
"My God, you are so hardworking. Two jobs take up all your time. How can you enjoy life?"
Ignoring the chirping of her colleagues, Leng Yan sat in the chair and took a few deep breaths, slowly adjusting her mood and expression, trying to put on the sweetest smile.
She wants to show her best side so that she can get more tips.
"There is no waiting in life, everything depends on your own efforts!"
This is Leng Yan’s life motto, and she has always followed this motto to manage her life.
Leng Yan was born in the Frontier Production and Construction Corps. He is the third child in the family. His parents are both elders in their positions. His family is well-off . As the second child in the family, he has never suffered any hardship since childhood.
His parents are good in everything except that they like to compare with others. They don’t compare anything else but their children. They just want their children to be the “other people’s children” in the eyes of other parents.
Just for the sake of competition, the couple carefully cultivated the three little girls in their family. Not only did they dress them up beautifully, they also sent them to the Children's Palace to take interest classes.
The emperor is far away and the turmoil did not spread there during that special era, which allowed Leng Yan to thrive freely.
She also made her parents proud. She was an excellent student and grew up to be a beautiful young lady. She always had a rosy face and stood in the C position to lead the dance at the Children's Palace.
Throughout her girlhood, she had always been the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, looking down upon the weeds and flowers at the foot of the mountain.
Then, as we continue to grow, we will encounter unexpected things.
Being admitted to Peking University and coming to the prosperous capital city brought an absolute shock to Leng Yan. It was then that she realized that she was too shortsighted. That small pond in the frontier could never compare to the turbulent waves in the capital city.
Although Leng Yan had always been at the top of her class in terms of study, after entering university, she could no longer look down on others. Three huge mountains were placed on her shoulders - Lai Mountain, Nan Mountain and Zhen Mountain.
Staying in the capital was Leng Yan's most simple and sincere thought at that time, but then, a bigger shock came: she was sent abroad to study.
Although she tried her best to get a spot, unsurprisingly, she was disappointed as the two spots were divided between the two big mountains.
Why?
On what basis?
Laishan is fine, but you can tell from its temperament that it is not an ordinary mountain.
But what about Zhenshan?
Ah, an alley kid...
Although she couldn't figure it out, she quickly gave up her stubbornness when faced with reality.
After graduation, she was assigned a job and found a boyfriend. With the support of her boyfriend's good family background, she came to the legendary foreign country, which was like a fairy tale world.
After arriving in the Kingdom of Xiong, Leng Yan, who had a high IQ, quickly realized that fairy tales were all lies. The Kingdom of Xiong was a paradise, but not her paradise. It was a paradise for the rich.
After learning from her mistakes, Leng Yan quickly adjusted the direction of her efforts, put the damn love aside, and focused on making money.
However, such a life is very tiring, really very tiring, but she still persists, she believes that sooner or later she will make a class leap.
She also has a well-preserved capital - a hot toad sand on her left arm.
He cut a piece of French foie gras and stuffed it into his mouth, then took a sip of 1980 Lafeng. Nan Yi smiled and said, "Harvey, you can try this wine. It tastes great."
Harvey Specter took a sip from the wine glass and praised, "It tastes really good. I haven't seen this brand before. Is it from a new winery?"
"Yes, it's a new product. It's not very famous yet."
Harvey Specter, the new lawyer introduced to Nan Yi by Rachel, has a somewhat notorious reputation. He often defends villains and helps them to reduce their sentences. His success rate is very high, so his income is also very considerable.
During the pleasant lunch just now, Nan Yi and Harvey have already agreed on the details of the cooperation. Nan Yi needs someone like Harvey to save those who work for him from some unnecessary troubles.
The price offered by Nan Yi was not low, and the service that Harvey could provide was also very thoughtful. Both parties were quite satisfied, so they had time to chat.
"Adam, do you like fishing?"
“River fishing or sea fishing?”
"Sea fishing. I used to like river fishing, but a few years ago, Asian carp started to proliferate in the rivers. There were no trout or cod anywhere. I could only go fishing in the sea."
"We can go out to sea together that weekend. Oh, and I don't have a fishing license yet."
"This is very simple, you can leave it to me."
"Okay, then. This Saturday morning at eight o'clock, Pier 45."
"OK."
Harvey sensed that Nan Yi wanted to end the lunch, so he said, "I have something else to do in the office this afternoon. Should we stop here?"
"OK."
After paying the bill, Nan Yi and Harvey walked out of the restaurant together.
Leng Yan came out of the locker room and walked into the restaurant. She nodded and greeted the waitress who was about to take over her shift. Then she put a professional smile on her face and stood in the reception area.
Suddenly, she was shocked and showed an expression of disbelief. Through the glass of the door, she vaguely saw a familiar figure outside the door. There were a few people who looked like bodyguards guarding him, and he was chatting and laughing with a Western man.
Then, a bodyguard opened the rear door, and the figure shook hands with the Western man and got in the car. The Western man just stood there, watching the motorcade leave, and then walked to the doorman to take the car keys.
"Nan...Nanshan Patchman?"
Nan Yi's car drove directly to New York University. There was a semi-public lecture about the Internet there today, and Nan Yi thought about coming over to listen.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is public or not. Nan Yi has considerable practical experience in attending classes at the university.
If you just come to attend classes occasionally, you can just find a classroom to go into, no matter whether it is a big classroom or a small one. Few teachers will notice that there is an extra student in the classroom who is not their own.
If you want to get free time, it's easy. Just buy a round of drinks for the whole class. As long as your interests are not violated and the vested interests know how to act like a grandson, the students will not care that they have an extra classmate.
Nan Yi entered a tiered classroom and looked around. Although it was a semi-public lecture, not many people came. Most of those who came were probably studying computer science.
Nan Yi found a corner and sat down, waiting quietly for the lecture to begin.
About five minutes later, a young man in his early thirties, wearing a shirt and jeans, walked to the podium.
Without further ado, he introduced himself as Dick and then got down to business.
"The development of the Internet began in 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite. In response, the U.S. Ministry of Defense established the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to begin applying science and technology to the military field.
In 1965, the TX-2 computer at MIT Lincoln Laboratory was directly connected to the Q-32 computer at System Development Corporation in Santa Monica, California, via a 1200bps telephone line. ARPA then added computers from Data Equipment Corporation to form an experimental network..."
Dick first recounted the history of the development of the Internet, interspersed with some of his own insights.
Then, Dick walked down the stage, went to the first row of seats, sat on the table and turned around to look behind him, "Does anyone have any opinions on the future development of the Internet?"
No one raised their hands, but a boy sitting in the third row spoke up directly: "Professor, from the ARPANET we can foresee that the Internet will lead to a communications revolution.
Now that e-mail delivery has been realized, if we can just increase the data transmission rate, we will be able to achieve real-time text communication, even voice communication and video calls through computers.
A true high-speed video call, not the American model of transmitting via television signals [the American model had commercial videophones in 1970]."
As soon as the boy finished speaking, another boy took over.
“Not only in communication, I think the Internet may change our way of life. Last year, our university established a cooperative network and connected the first node Yale .
We also set up an email system and an electronic forum server to disseminate information and provide file transfer services.
What I want to talk about is the server. If we edit the photos and information of the products and put them on the server, everyone can connect to our server through a computer, just like in a supermarket, and browse the products and place orders on the computer.
After receiving an order, we can deliver it ourselves or ask a third-party logistics company to provide delivery for us. The customer only needs to wait at home for the delivery personnel to arrive, inspect the goods and pay with a credit card.
In addition, the Internet can also provide faster news services. Compared with newspapers, it is faster, and compared with TV networks, it can carry more content and can be checked at any time. "
"Well said. Does anyone else want to express their opinions?" Dick asked.
Nan Yi's gaze stayed on the boy who had just spoken for a long time, then he moved his gaze to Dick, and then followed the voice.
After listening to a lecture, Nan Yi discovered that almost all models of the future Internet had been thought of by someone in the early 1980s, and this "almost" was only limited to one university, a university with a not outstanding computer science major.
Nan Yi wanted to visit MIT and Yale to see how profound their students' Internet vision and thoughts were.
After getting back in the car, Nan Yi called Xiangzhen and asked Xiangzhen to notify Chen Weizong to come to the country. After the call, as the car slowly moved, he was thinking about the layout of the Internet in his mind.
Nan Yi had no idea of making a big splash in the Internet industry himself. There was no need to do it himself. He just needed to invest in the right model and in companies that he thought would be successful.
If you want to get the most lucrative piece of meat on the Internet, you must establish a considerable force on Wall Street and have a certain say in IPOs, so that you can get the most shares from companies that are destined to succeed.
Investment in rounds A and B depends on vision and courage, but the later the round, the more strength you have to rely on. No matter how many rounds of financing a company has raised, if it is stuck in the final listing step, everything is in vain.
If Internet companies don't go public, they are burning the capital's money. Which capital is not waiting for a buyer and waiting to reap the profits in the end?
Are you waiting for dividends?
"Steve, will we give dividends to shareholders this year?"
Jobs: "Give it a shovel. No, not a penny. If we divide the money, our imagination will be gone."
It is necessary to establish a managed fund on Wall Street, to make money with big investors and build a network of relationships, to trick small investors into joining, to use their money to fill the gaps, and to use their funds to sacrifice when victims are needed.
Large households will receive double the return, while small households will not receive a penny.
At worst, we can invest in a few more films similar to "Invasion of Wall Street" to make small households mentally happy and get a little comfort, but it's useless because it's impossible to get the money.
As for funds, it doesn’t matter whether the loss is real or fake, it’s a loss anyway.
The stragglers will collapse at the first touch, and will flee in all directions and cannot be found. It is better to round them up and cut them off slowly to avoid searching everywhere.
Nan Yi put this matter aside for the time being after he sorted out his ideas for the fund. What he had to do now was to prepare himself and face his future father-in-law.
