Chapter 107: Kung Fu

Bee Electronic Science and Technology Park, two canteens.

Although it was not yet time to eat, the hall on the first floor was full of young men and women wearing blue short sleeves. The town-row dining table is equipped with fruit plates, snack plates and Qianzi fruit drinks in different packages, and the wall-mounted TV next to it is broadcasting the opening ceremony of the Science and Technology Park live.

In fact, this ceremony is completely a snake painting, the whole park has passed the test of trial operation, the production line has not been closed since then, and there is no need to engage in a special celebration ceremony. However, thinking of the significance of the Science and Technology Park to bees and Dongjiang High-tech Zone, the two sides unanimously decided to hold a grand event to celebrate this historical moment.

As a result, the stars came, Atletico Madrid came, the leaders came, and the celebration company also arranged the venue, but everyone was put together by God.

A light rain came unexpectedly in the middle of the night, and it fell all morning without any signs of stopping. Due to the weather, the original outdoor activities had to be temporarily cancelled, and the leaders went to the meeting center of the park to give a speech in front of the TV camera, and the employee representatives were collectively moved to the canteen hall to watch the opening ceremony through the TV here.

It's not that no one said that the rain was not heavy, and employees could wear raincoats to have meetings in the rain, but as soon as the words came out, they were criticized by others, and they quickly retracted the suggestion. You must know that in this era of self-media, "letting the masses hold meetings in the rain" is an absolute officialdom taboo, if any official accidentally gets involved with it, wait for the empathetic people to wash their faces!

On the TV screen, the deputy governor who attended the event completed his speech and walked out of the camera with a warm farewell of "canned applause (pre-recorded effects)". Alarmed by the applause, Mango Flair glanced up at the TV, only to see another young man in a suit and tie walking towards the podium, and immediately lost interest in watching, bowed his head and continued to play his game.

Because he understands a little, he is still an American engineer from the giant company Intel, Mango was specially named by the management committee of the high-tech zone to attend today's launching ceremony, and was also asked to give a speech as an employee representative, and the speech script was prepared for him.

The manuscript was now in his pocket, and Mango had read it, and the content of the face was boring, not a boring cliché but a repetitive thank you and a flattery, and he only wanted to yawn. Mango originally thought that the level of the gunman found by the management committee was not good, but after listening to the speeches of several local leaders, he realized that he had misunderstood others.

For example, the "lieutenant governor" just now has an equally terrible draft, the content is flat and straightforward, lacks a sense of incendiary and resonance, and his own speech skills are also very poor, his words are not humorous enough, and he does not know how to arouse the enthusiasm of the audience, which is far inferior to the American politicians he has seen.

Of course, this is not surprising, and most of the American officials that Mango knows are political officials on the election table, whether they are mayors of small towns, governors of Dazhou, or federal presidents, who have to keep playing and traveling during the campaign, otherwise they will not be able to convey their ideas of governance to the voters. If you don't have presentation skills and the team behind you doesn't know how to make a speech, you are likely to lose at the starting line, and it is basically difficult to get to the end.

However, understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that Mango will be willing to listen to these boring speeches. Actually, not only does this crooked nut not like to listen, but the local employees around him also lack interest, not eating, drinking, chatting and watching videos, but playing games like him, and the big TV screen only occasionally glances at it.

Must, canteen bsp; Fortunately, these speakers also seemed to know that their speech level was very poor, and they did not have the intention of occupying the podium for a long time, and soon it was Mangodai's turn to speak. When he read a mixed speech in Californian Mandarin, there was a lot of real applause in the cafeteria hall, which made him feel much better.

When he came downstairs, he saw Atletico Madrid, the chairman of Bees, being invited to the podium by the host and interacting with the audience through the TV camera. Driven by him, the mood of the audience in the canteen was further raised, and the atmosphere gradually reached its peak.

Atletico's speech was also very brief, and it didn't take long for him to end the topic, and the provincial leaders who returned to the stage had a bright ball of light, officially announcing the official opening of the Bee Dongjiang Electronic Science and Technology Park!

If it was still outside, it would have been time for the drums to sound and the fireworks would have gone off, but now there is only the boring and repetitive "canned cheers" on the TV stereo, which greatly affects the celebratory atmosphere.

It's just that 'it's none of Mango's business, he's done with the task of speaking to the council, he's been free for the time being, but he's staying. made this decision, and there is no problem with the art performance he is performing, he is just reluctant to give up the free BSP here in the cafeteria; It's cheap, Americans also love it, not to mention that he has a debt of more than 100,000 dollars because he borrowed money, and he needs to pay more attention to these small details, otherwise he won't want to replace the debt in this life.

The United States has the most developed system in the world, and the growth rate of large fees is also leading in the world, the average cost of studying in a private college has risen to 44,000 US dollars a year, and even if the fee for public schools is less, it has reached the level of 34,000 yuan a year in other states and 20,000 yuan a year in this state. The bonus or something is just exclusive to tyrants, and ordinary people have to find a way to pay for it themselves.

Americans earn more and spend more, do not have a strong sense of cash savings, and under the influence of the "18-year-old independence" ideology, many young people choose to take out loans to realize their big dreams. As a result, the total amount of student loans has continued to rise, surpassing credit card loans and car loans to become the largest type of debt in the United States, which has now reached $1.4 trillion.

U.S. student loans have a repayment period of up to 10 years, during which they can be repaid by paying hundreds of dollars per month with relatively little impact on their lives. However, this is only relative, and the rising fees and loan interest rates are making more and more students feel unaffordable.

In 2014, the "Ice Bucket Challenge" swept the United States, and Yousheng followed the trend and launched the "Fee Challenge", imitating the former to designate the rich to complete the task, but changing the donation object from the ALS Association to Shengsheng himself. In November of the following year, students from 100 schools took to the streets to hold a "Million Students' March" to protest the high fees and demand forgiveness of student loans.

In fact, with the total amount of student loans jumping to the first, the US political circles have noticed this problem, and the incumbent president and the candidates participating in the 20** election have proposed their own solutions, and the Tepp's plan is to take out 12.5% of the annual income to repay the loan after the birth, and repay it for a total of 15 years, and if there is any remaining debt at maturity, it can apply for forgiveness, and the federal and all taxpayers will pay for this part of the citizens.

Although Tip is in office, this new policy still needs to be implemented by Congress, and even if it is implemented, it will not help unlucky people like Mango who have graduated and lost their jobs for the time being.

Faced with the penalties of not repaying loans, reducing credit, deducting wages, and refusing car loans, some people choose to break the can and completely default, some people choose to extend the deadline to retire, and some people choose to continue to postpone their debts like Mango.

As long as you enter the campus again, you can apply for a student loan to pay off your old debts, and at the same time, you can use it to enter a more lucrative industry. Mango failed to find a satisfactory job in the subprime mortgage crisis after graduating from undergraduate, so he had to go back to school to study for a doctorate degree in EE electrical and electronics, and after graduation, he was recruited by the giant company Intel and was assigned to the mobile chip design department. However, the good times did not last long, and Intel's mobile platform strategy failed to lose money, and 12,000 employees were laid off, including Mango, who had just passed the new stage.

What makes him even more sad and frightened is that not only Intel is laying off employees, but in the face of the reality of slowing market growth, Qualcomm, Broadcom, AMD, NXP, Marvell and other old famous companies have announced layoff plans. The entire North American semiconductor industry laid off a total of 30,000 people, and jobs suddenly became hard to find.

In the end, it was Beecore Semiconductor that handed him an olive branch, but he needed to work abroad and was stationed in China for 3 years. Under the "persuasion" of the bank's collection call, Mango quickly agreed to this request, and has now worked and lived in Huaxia for two years. Before that, he worked at the headquarters of Beecore Egret Island, and was only sent to Dongjiang at the beginning of the year as a resident engineer, responsible for communicating between the two places, and the work was quite easy.

Because of his abundant time, Mango has a lot of free time to enrich himself, and he has already learned Mandarin and Cantonese, and although he still has a strong Californian accent, it is no longer too difficult to communicate. With language no longer in the way, Mango picked up his kung fu dream that had been shelved for many years, and planned to visit famous teachers in his spare time to learn the Wing Chun boxing that Brucelee (Bruce Lee) once used.

Because of Bruce Lee's star effect and the efforts of many boxers, the promotion of Wing Chun in European and American countries has been successful, and it is the second largest martial arts after Taijiquan, with many fans and students. Because of the continuous promotion of kung fu movies, Mango unknowingly fell into the pit and became a shallow kung fu fan.

However, his apprenticeship plan died quickly, not because this kung fu was lost and withered and could not be taught, but because there were too many people who could teach it, which made him dazzled all of a sudden.

Wing Chun originated from the Yongchun White Crane Boxing in Yongchun County, southwest Fujian, has been more than 200 years, and has many branches, including Chan Wah Shun Wing Chun, Ip Man Wing Chun, Wing Chun, Wing Chun, Wing Chun and other four types of rice machine Wang Wing Chun, plus Crow Lake Chun Chun, Vietnam Chun and other well-known schools and derivative inheritance, which can be called a sentence of sects.

With the help of the search engine, Mango figured out the difference between Yongchun, Xuan Chun, and Wing Chun, and also knew Bruce Lee's teacher Ip Man, and Ip Man's teacher Chen Huashun, and Chen Huashun's teacher Ryazan , and even knew Fang Shiyu and the character Wumei Shitai, but he still couldn't find the most suitable Wing Chun for himself.

Before he could find an answer, he was attracted by the in-feed advertisements interspersed with search results, and then became addicted to the game, and his previous dream of martial arts was also left behind, and he could no longer think of it.

As one show after another, his colleagues around him were gradually distracted by the TV, and only he was still addicted to the game world, holding his mobile phone with both hands, fighting endlessly in the world of "Kung Fu Empire".

This is a strong interactive PK game developed by Bee Games for kung fu enthusiasts, players need to play constantly every day, playing with NPCs, playing with players on the same server, and playing with cross-server players, so that he fully feels what it means to "fight with people, and the fun is endless".

At first, Mango was just moved by the kung fu empire's claim of "real tricks, beyond kung fu movie fights" and wonderful promotional videos, but now he is addicted to it, and he feels uncomfortable when he fights a few times a day, as if he has forgotten to do something very important.

Because it contains hundreds of real martial arts, and is free to create its own martial arts, and the combat system is relatively real and fair, the Kung Fu Empire has gradually attracted a group of kung fu and fighting enthusiasts to join it. Even if the core functions are free, you can make a fortune by selling fashion and skill effects, and you even have spare money to hold large-scale offline events every year to give back to players.

This time, however, it wasn't the upcoming "Kung Fu Empire Election Campaign" that caught Mango's attention, but a video post published in the in-game community.

With a bit of goodness, Mango clicked on the video and found that the content was the offline dating process of Xu Fighting, who claimed to be the first person in MMA (mixed martial arts), and Lei Massage, who claimed to be the founder of Lei Gong Taiji. The video was very short, excluding the previous dialogue session, the real battle time was only broken for about ten seconds, but the result was that Grandmaster Lei was pressed to the ground and beaten violently.

As a crooked nut, Mango didn't know these two people, and he didn't think there was anything good about their fight. So far, Mango is still a kung fu layman, although he has mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge because of the game, he has always had zero practical experience. His criteria for identifying kung fu masters are also cinematic and martial arts, the moves are handsome and powerful, and the fight between these two people is like a street fight better than martial arts fighting, and there is no beauty at all.

Actually, this is also the opinion of most game empire players. You know, this is the largest community of martial arts enthusiasts, naturally no one wants to admit that traditional martial arts are all fancy, Xu Dafake can overturn the entire martial arts method by himself, for a while it was a brick and saliva flying together, and soon put this video post on the homepage of the community and even the bee scarf, which really created a wave of hot spots.

As the heat grew, someone soon noticed the incident and asked Atletico Madrid a reward in the Neck Q&A, asking him what he thought about the matter. Atletico is the most knowledgeable kung fu business owner, who once subdued a bearded robber in a German jewelry store, and he is always right to ask. Moreover, there is a onlooker sharing mechanism for the neck Q&A, if the question is hot and the answerer is famous, it can attract a large number of users to pay onlookers, and then create a large amount of income.

As a senior bug, Atletico Madrid is naturally online, and replied to this question as soon as possible, but his answer was shocking, directly "This is just a joke between two unsuccessful old colleagues of Yanjing Sports School, seriously you lost." ”
