On April 14, 2000, the city of Menlo Park, Silicon Valley, ushered in a new day of sunshine, and the heating in the house was too hot, so he opened the sliding door on the balcony when he woke up at night.

The green breeze in the valley made the beige curtains flutter in the room, and the smell of early spring and the slightest coolness formed the first part of the morning.

On the soft and slightly messy bed is a young couple cuddling and sleeping together, and something happy should have happened on such a morning, but the voicemail on the phone echoes with Lee Jong-hong's voice.

After a drip, Chen Zier heard him say in his sleepy eyes: Mr. Chen, sorry to disturb your morning, the New York Times followed up on the Microsoft monopoly case today, and the court officially declared that the "market size" pursued by the new economic model may violate the monopoly law. The Nasdaq had a stampede after opening this morning, and Microsoft is likely to have a record decline today.

Qianyu was woken up, confused, "Zier, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, you keep sleeping. Chen Zier gently pulled out the broken hair at the corner of her mouth, then lifted the quilt, put on a white shirt and walked to the edge of the balcony by himself, the wind in the valley blowing his hair and squinting his eyes.

He could hear the roaring of the people down the mountain.

Originally, he was going to take advantage of this wave of opportunities to buy some 'cheaper' engineers to go back, but when you are really in the environment, you will be affected by this atmosphere of despair and chaos, all the news you hear is related to the collapse, the story is collapsing, the wealth is collapsing, and the most frightening thing is that many living people are also collapsing.

At some point, Qianyu hugged him from behind, Chen Zier turned his head to see that she was still a thin pajamas, so he reached out and stuffed her into his arms.

On early spring mornings, when there is wind, she still feels cold, even though her body is hot. Some girls are just very strange, obviously they often have cold hands and feet, but their bodies are really hot, and this is the case with Qianyu, but this does not mean that they are not cold.

"Early in the morning, what are you thinking?"

"Staff. Chen Zier sighed: "Yesterday, Runling reported to me that someone in the company bought Amazon shares, and when they bought it, it was only about 70 yuan a share, and it didn't take long for it to rise to more than 100 US dollars a share. But now, there are only sixty dollars left for a share. There are also two people who bought Cisco stock, which has fallen from more than $80 to less than $40 a share, and the three of them are not trapped in their funds, but their lives have been ruined. ”

In other words, selling cars and houses and borrowing money have entered the stock market.

Sheng Qianyu lay in her arms and said, "Why do Americans never want to keep some money in case of accidents?"

"I can't say that, high-income people have savings, and people below the median line are really unable to make ends meet, of course, the savings rate in this shabby country is indeed relatively low, I sometimes think, the society we live in has changed a lot in recent decades, and it is also poor, and for Americans, the social environment has not changed much in a hundred years......

"The whole country is only more than 200 years old, so some people say that Americans can't find history," said Asamu. ”

"Yes, we can't find a future. ”

"I think it's a little better here. ”

Chen Zier smiled sadly, "That's because your husband and I are rich." I still remember that about ten years ago, there was a very popular TV series called "Beijing in New York", which had a very classic line. ”

Sheng Qianyu, like many children in this year, has some imagination and yearning for this country, so she has watched this TV series and remembers, "If you love him, send him to New York, because it is heaven, and if you hate him, send him to New York, because it is hell." ”

"The difference is whether you have money or you don't, so I've sent you to heaven. ”

It was a little cold outside, so Chen Zier took her into the house.

"Where you are there is my paradise. Early in the morning she hung around his neck.

He had already woken up, "What do you want to do?"

Qianyu suddenly turned his head, "No, I'm hungry and want to have breakfast." ”

Hey, she's completely up to speed now!

"Then let's go to breakfast together. He is also looking forward to this kind of life.

On the balcony of a luxurious room, the early spring breeze was shining, they had slept together last night, they had woken up in the morning, they had washed up and eaten together.

In the early morning, with you and the wind and sunshine, isn't this happiness!

Qianyu also especially wants to make breakfast for Chen Zier, she has also learned Western food, and she has learned it well, but this has to wait a few days to move to the newly bought house, and now she can only send the boutique breakfast from the hotel.

Thinking about it, he felt that he was getting less and less pressing, and he was going to pay back the few hundred dollars worth of breakfast.

"You're going to the company today?"

Chen Zier nodded, and said helplessly: "Well, I already know that there are three people who have a big accident, although I didn't do what I did to inspire people in the company that day, and now the morale is also very high, but there are still a small number of people who can't concentrate on their work." ”

Qianyu took a sip of milk and asked, "You want to dismiss them?"

"Do you think Lei Feng is rich?" Chen Zier suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Huh?" Sheng Qianyu was a little unresponsive, "He... It shouldn't be very rich, right, people in that era didn't distinguish between rich and poor, what are you asking for?"

"yes, but he can afford to take pictures. ”

Chen Zier showed a meaningful smile, and then kissed her, "When I am busy with you in person, I see that you and Runling have a good communication, let her continue to accompany you today." ”

On that day, he shouted the slogan "I won't abandon anyone" within the company, so he couldn't break his word, and at the time he knew that he would lose a little money because of this slogan, but he felt that this would make E-song more tightly cohesive and burst out with more power.

It's the time of R&D, and this power may be able to bring him unexpected surprises.

Political needs are also a very ambiguous thing, some 'needs' are based on very noble people and things, and some 'needs' are based on despicable people and things, in fact, from a higher level, using morality to scrape politics shows that you are still too young.

And extending from officialdom to shopping malls, Chen Zier himself sometimes can't figure it out, some bosses can't tell you about the kind of fleshy wooing of their employees, is this because of the kindness of this capitalist? Or is he really far-sighted? It's just that since ancient times, people who are reluctant to make a little money usually don't have a heroic atmosphere!

But Chen Zier knows one thing, if you don't solve these three people, E-song may not have any big problems, and the company will not turn around if you leave these three people? But if you solve the problem of these three people, the harvest is definitely not a little bit.

And this is his political need.

As for how to solve the problem, it is nothing more than Chen Zier, a rich man, to bear the losses for these three poor people, for him, the drizzle, does not affect anything at all, and the wealth alone does not necessarily mean a loss, Amazon stock will increase many, many times in the future, but now it seems that this is a bit like a brain watt.

Therefore, when Yang Runling came over in the morning, he finally asked him: "Do you really want to do this?"

Chen Zier nodded, and only replied to her with eight words: small victory depends on wisdom, and big victory depends on virtue.
