Chapter 9: Diving into the Sea

Gu Cheng packed his bags, and finally glanced around the dormitory, without a trace of nostalgia, rolled up and left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The bedside calendar, stuck on March 25, will never be torn again.

He doesn't want life here. His soul is haughty and unyielding.

When he left, he carried two large boxes in his hands, which contained some small gifts, to keep a few of his old friends in the company as a souvenir.

Passing by Miss Ann's office, he walked in.

Seeing Gu Cheng, Miss An's expression was complicated, and she complained a little bit about hating iron and steel, so she didn't drive him away.

Obviously has a good talent, and he is a talent that can be created. Why can't you think about it, so you have to use your fists to solve the problem?

I took him for a year and a half, and I didn't see that this kid was an impulsive pit person.

"Is there anything else? If not, you should leave today. Miss An said coldly, with a hint of anger.

Gu Cheng didn't ink, and simply put things down: "Don't worry, I will leave on time." Here are a few things that can be regarded as incense for more than a year - this is a thank you gift, and the other two are that you need to pass on in your own name. Other gifts for boys, I've already given them. ”

Gu Cheng said, opening the first small box, which contained a set of innisfree's essential oils and red wine gel. It was a new Dongyi local cosmetics brand launched this year, which was much cheaper than French products.

The other two boxes were larger, and Miss An didn't open them, but just looked at the packaging.

One is Philips' original high-display full-spectrum light box, and the other is a muscle relaxation magnetic therapy device, Siemens.

Miss An had never seen these models, and she couldn't estimate the value, so she was a little worried in her heart: "Where did you get these things? It's expensive, right? Who do you want me to pass it on?"

Gu Cheng hurriedly explained: "It's not expensive, it's only a few hundred thousand." It's just that it's not easy to find it through normal channels. ”

Miss An was curious: "Then where did you buy it from?"

"E-Bay. As long as you have a heart, you can find many niche things. The times are different, and you can try to shop online in the future. If not, I can teach you - if I'm still in Dongyi. ”

"You're leaving Dongyi?"

Miss An couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and then thought about it and felt that this was a sure thing: Gu Cheng only had a high school degree, and he was originally here to be a trainee. After being fired from the company, how can he have the ability to work to support himself?

She couldn't bear to say anything more, so she diverted from the subject.

"Forget it, don't talk about that, you haven't said who this light box and magnetic therapy device are going to give to. ”

"To Xiaoya, when I was injured that day, she healed me, and I am very grateful to her. Gu Cheng said, seeing that Miss An's face was different, he hurriedly explained,

"Don't be nervous, 13-year-old girl, am I such a beast? If you don't feel at ease, you can send her in your own name, just say that the company's health care doctor has found her problem and tailored a plan for her. ”

Miss An didn't know, and said curiously, "What's wrong with Xiaoya?"

"Hasn't she applied with you yet?"

Gu Cheng was slightly surprised, and then 1510 talked about what he happened to talk about when he and Quan Baoya were having dinner that day. He also stressed that according to the company's current brutal training, Kwon Bo-ya is likely to not grow up in the future.

"Alas, Xiaoya, this kid is really true, he doesn't say anything about any difficulties, he just carries it himself. Miss An couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought about it. The regret for Gu Cheng is also deeper.

"I think you're a very affectionate person, how did you get on this path? ”

"Everyone has their own way to go, I just have kindness to repay kindness, revenge to revenge, there is nothing to say. Let's leave it at this - the things given to Xiaoya, since she didn't mention it, you can press it for a few days first, so as not to make her too careful. ”

Miss An was impressed by Gu Cheng's carefulness and the mentality of not leaving his name, and personally got up to see him off.

Walking to the door of the company, just as she was about to say goodbye, Miss An hesitated, took out a piece of fine wax printed cardboard, and stuffed it to Gu Cheng:

"On August 25th, there was Xiaoya's debut press conference. The main thing is to invite insiders, a total of 5,000 seats, this ticket will be given to you, if you are still in Seoul at that time, go and see it. ”

"Okay, thanks. It's still 5 months, maybe it will. ”

Gu Cheng agreed, put the ticket in his pocket, and left without looking back.

……

After leaving the company and saving a large amount of cash, Gu Cheng carried two duffel bags and strolled freely through the streets of Seoul.

He still has some things to do in Dongyi, and he can't return to China immediately, so he has to find a place to stay.

S-M Company is located in the bustling Jiangnan District, and Gu Cheng wants to save money, so naturally he can't afford to live.

However, in Songpa District, to the east of Gangnam District, there is a slum just across the street called Jiulongdong (Yi Chinese equivalent to "street")

Before the Seoul Olympics in '88, the government drove out the entire city for the sake of the city's appearance, and the people living in it were all lonely and widowed.

Now, more than ten years have passed, but many houses have been vacated because of the death of the owner, and the poor can rent if they want to find a temporary place to stay. People who are of the third rank also like to run there.

These were all inquired about by Gu Cheng in advance before leaving the company.

He followed the map to Songpa District and Jiulong Cave.

Despite being mentally prepared, when he really walked into the tatters of this pile of shantytowns, Gu Cheng still gasped:

Sure enough, there will be slums in every big city in the world, and this place is even more dilapidated than the old cannon compound in the second ring of the capital.

In addition to the shantytowns, there are also some small shops with old signs.

The plastic shell of some light boxes is broken, so they rely on tape and paper to stick to continue to use.

Gu Cheng could clearly see a crooked light box dragged by a wiring board and pulled to the side of the road to plug in, with a few long-lost Chinese characters brushed with red lacquer hands: "Northeast Restaurant" and "Northeast Roast Beef".

If there are Chinese people who smuggled to Dongyi and stayed in Seoul, the vast majority of them are in this cave, and they can't hide elsewhere.

Even the Dongyi police don't want to come here often.

A middle-aged man wrapped in a dirty robe, seeing Gu Cheng approaching the street, came over mysteriously: "Brother, there is no place to stay when the visa expires?" ”

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Gu Cheng was reluctant to deal with people in the gray area out of safety considerations, so he coped with the past in Yiyu.

The man couldn't tell the situation, so he didn't dare to continue to entangle.

In the end, Gu Cheng rented a house from an old lady in Dongyi who had two empty rooms.

The rent is discounted to almost 1,000 yuan, monthly settlement, no contract. It's just that after Gu Cheng paid the house money for the month, the locksmith in Bendong changed the lock for him, even if the transaction was completed.

This house is more expensive than the smuggler just now, but it does have a water heater - the community concentrates on coal burning to provide hot water.

The power supply here is also very tight, and each household can only connect a little from the central distribution box, and high-power electrical appliances cannot be used. So there is no air conditioning, and it is even more impossible to boil water with electricity.

Of course, there are also people who illegally pull wires and steal electricity from municipal street lamp and electric wells.

The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles.

In March, there was still coal-burning to collect ** warm, Gu Cheng packed up his things, wiped and changed the covers, and was tired and sweaty.

He was disgraced and uncomfortable, so he took a shower while there was hot water to drive away the fatigue accumulated in the past few days. Then change into clean clothes and lie down in bed and quietly think about the way out.

It was also at this moment that he had time to systematically analyze the strengths and weaknesses of his current abilities.

In his previous life, he was the data director of an "Internet + entertainment platform", and he was best at the optimization of big data algorithms for content push and the application of deep learning artificial intelligence.

IN OTHER WORDS, PEOPLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY CAN UNDERSTAND THE SAYING, THIS WORK IS SIMILAR TO FACEBOOK OR ZA LANG WEIBOJIA FEED FLOW ALGORITHM ENGINEER, RESPONSIBLE FOR ADJUSTING THE PUSH WEIGHT OF EACH SELF-MEDIA CONTENT ON THE PLATFORM, USER PREFERENCE ANALYSIS.

In the transition era when AI is not powerful enough, content platforms will always need humans to play the role of "editor-in-chief" or "director of the FEED algorithm" to ensure that the content pushed to the user's page is as relevant as possible to the user's interests and maximize the user's subscriptions.

Therefore, Gu Cheng, who has done this job, not only has the talent of science and engineering, but also has an extraordinary ability to appreciate art.

Whether it is a game, a movie, a music, or a literary work, as long as he is scrutinized by his "keen eye", he can identify the good and bad, and judge what kind of user group this thing probably fits.

On the other hand, because Gu Cheng is accustomed to using big data and machine learning. Historically, these two "pre-tech trees" were not "lit up" by Professor Jeff Hinton of the University of Toronto until 2006. So now, many of his skills have become "dragon slaying skills" that lack preconditions, and they will be useless for at least ten years.

It's like an agricultural technician who is accustomed to using pesticides and fertilizers, but if he really travels back to ancient times, in an environment where no chemical fertilizers and pesticides are available, he may not be as good as the indigenous farmers in terms of farming skills.

These constraints forced him to think carefully about his entrepreneurial trajectory in this life.

The first step in your career is to start in the IT industry or in the entertainment industry?

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Cheng ruled out the idea of engaging in the entertainment industry first: If you set foot in the entertainment industry first, the biggest problem is that there is not enough funds - what is the enough money for a company with 100 million Yi yuan? Even if it is a copywriter and a copywriter himself, this money is not enough for advertising.

What's more, the few works he remembered in his heart were too advanced in his ability to appreciate this era.

Therefore, according to the initial intuition, let's be an online game agent first and complete the first pot of gold.

He needs to find an Internet café and learn about the current market first.
