It's Christmas again, and you can hear the singing of 'jingle bells' everywhere, and the plague who finally got an A in the exam happily wants to sing loudly, in exchange for Liu Shasha, who can't decide whether to study for a doctorate, makes fun of and jokes.

The plague doesn't care, if Yang Fenhua, who occasionally comes to play, is a demon, this beautiful fellow is an immortal. Compared with the IQ of this kind of fairy who coexists with beauty and talent, the wise man does not do it.

"Sister, I can't compare with you, you can graduate from engineering in a year and a half at most, but I have been preparing for two years. See, I am ready to retake the subjects that I used to take with C, and I will not give up without taking a degree! ”

To be a man must be pursued, and people's success cannot be measured by money and power, and if you can put down your thriving career and come to a foreign country to study and realize your dreams, Liu Shasha actually admires the plague very much.

"Old pig, it's not that I talk about bad things, I go to Yanyuan to teach with a master's degree, and I may not be hired."

Yes, now it's different from before, more and more people are studying abroad, and it's no problem for a master's degree to get into the general brand-name focus, but it's not easy to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University.

"I also want to study for a Ph.D., but I want to break through on the basis of my predecessors, and my old Wen is really not that material. Forget it, people are self-aware. If I can squeeze in, I will teach; If you can't squeeze in, go back to the company to help, and instead of spending five or six years studying for a Ph.D. that can't be read, it's better to give up sensibly. ”

The helplessness of the plague made Liu Shasha, who was desperately studying, sad, and it was too difficult to read a doctorate in the United States. Although she can catch up with the pace of her classmates, she wants to innovate on the basis of her predecessors, and the success rate is estimated to be five to five. Is it really worth spending five to six years to do a PhD?

It is good to have given up the plague silently, and it is good to stick to your dreams, but it is not necessarily a good thing to be bored in the study in the best years of your life. It is said that success depends on 99% of sweat, but the most important thing is the 1% of inspiration. If Liu Shasha was an American, the Great Plague would definitely persuade her to continue studying, but she is Chinese.

The domestic real estate industry is in full swing, and it is not difficult to make a career when she returns to China after getting her degree, and it may not be so easy for her to return to China after she gets her doctorate. What is the purpose of reading? To put it mildly, a good job, a high salary, and a social status, and a little more elegant is a career, and in the final analysis, it is fame.

"Forget it, take one step at a time, and then talk after graduation."

That's right, a year later, what's the hurry? The big plague who treated Liu Shasha as a sister raised his glass and gestured, "Old sister, how are you going to spend Christmas?" ”

"What about you?"

"I will continue to read books for the sake of my studies, and reward myself for visiting relatives and friends for a week."

'Porphyry', Liu Shasha couldn't help laughing, and teased: "Do you have relatives and friends?" You're the only one in your class in the United States, right? ”

Jinling Institute of Technology is not as good as Tsinghua University, and none of the alumni in the first three or next three sessions of the Great Plague came to study abroad, and they were all busy entering large companies to get high salaries. The poor also have three rich relatives, and I am going to go to Silicon Valley to see it, and by the way, I will find Comrade Li Jiaming to fight the autumn breeze. Let's go together, that guy bought a private jet and even saved money on airfares. ”

"Don't go!"

This is not right, lovers can also be friends, and the great plague of human affection admonished: "Sasha, this is your fault." Be generous, and not to say that he is not sorry for you, just because of your childhood friendship, you should also go to see him. ”

"What do you know?"

Da Plague looked at Liu Shasha who was tasting red wine suspiciously, and hesitated: "Old sister, you shouldn't be Yu Qingwei, right?" ”

"Nonsense! I'm afraid I'm going to get in the way. When he graduated last year, I was going to go to the ceremony, and it was his girlfriend who called me and said she wanted me not to. ”

"What?"

How so? Although he hadn't seen Li Jiaming's girlfriend, he couldn't say anything bad about the girl in Yang Fenhua's mouth, and Da Plague suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Sasha, Hu Xuan would make such a call?" ”

"Am I that stingy? Don't spread the word, it's not easy for people, Li Jiaming can have such a girlfriend, which is also his blessing. ”

That's true, Jiaming's career is successful and nostalgic, it is estimated that what Hu Xuan is most afraid of is Sasha, and the plague said with a smile: "Forget it, then I'll take a charter flight and help you bring a good one." ”

"Whatever".

After the two had lunch together, one went back to school to continue to read books, and the other called Li Jiaming and asked him to arrange a special plane, and finally made a special trip to pick him up.

Pick up a fart!

The holiday is approaching, and Li Jiaming, who no longer has the pressure of exams, is busier.

News came from Capitol Hill that the online copyright exclusion bill for musical works may not pass, and record companies must comply with antitrust laws. In other words, any record label that licenses any music site must also allow other music sites to acquire copyrights on equal terms. The only exception to this is independent musicians, who have complete freedom to license any music site they want to work with, or not to any site they hate.

Fuck the U.S. law! Fuck Capitol Hill!

As vested interests, both Li Jiaming and Kyle cursed like this.

It's no fun, I was thinking of sending TunesStore to the NASDAQ and making a dollar for the American people, but in the end I let the fucked congressmen mess up.

Without the billions of expected funds, R&D is in order, neither smooth nor difficult, but hundreds of millions of dollars are swallowed. Now the company has tens of thousands of employees, a single salary of nearly 500 million US dollars, plus research and development expenses, the company's normal expenses, at least one billion US dollars a year, and the company's profit is less than 600 million, a gap of more than 400 million.

What to do?

Although Li Jiaming is still dominant, it is impossible to inject capital out of his own pocket whenever the company has difficulties.

Financing? If you want to raise money, you must disclose the research and development progress of the iPhone to investors, not to mention that Li Jiaming is unwilling, as long as the research and development is successful, it will be an iPod-style epoch-making product, who would be willing to share a gold mountain?

Additional investment? It's impossible, the research and development of CDMA chips is also only a gold-swallowing beast, and there is no hope for exposure, Yang Zhiyuan and their funds have to be prepared there. According to Li Jiaming's estimate, maybe that guy has already been riding a tiger and is regretting his original recklessness. Now that the cowhide has been blown out, the people of Taiwan and the Chinese in the United States regard him as the 'light of the Chinese,' and it is impossible for him to quit unless he goes bankrupt.

Fame and fortune are shackles, locking up Li Jiaming and Comrade Yang Zhiyuan. Especially Yang Zhiyuan, a teenager became famous and a teenager became rich, the most unsightly thing is fame, but he is not so blind to money.
