On September 1, as soon as he returned to Jinghua City, Tang Xiaosheng went to Ouyang Ke's luxury villa in the western suburbs. Before, when Tang Xiaosheng was impersonating Ouyang Feng, he was the image of an old man in his fifties, so he once again disguised himself as an old man in his fifties today.

Tang Xiaosheng is now nominally Ouyang Ke's father, and when he comes to Ouyang Ke, Ouyang Ke will definitely open the door and welcome him. It's just that the identity of Tang Xiaosheng, the "old man", is fictitious, and there is no such person.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by revealing his identity, Tang Xiaosheng acted in a low-key manner, and did not swagger into Ouyang Ke's villa from the main entrance, but used light skills to sneak in.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, in the western suburbs of Jinghua City.

Sou!

A black shadow flashed, crossed the high wall of Ouyang Ke's villa, and after a few ups and downs, it had already entered the residential area in the villa.

This black shadow is naturally Tang Xiaosheng, he is the second time he has come to Ouyang Ke's residence today, he is more familiar with the terrain and structure here, and it is a lot easier to find it.

After a while, he found Ouyang Ke by the luxurious swimming pool on the west side of the villa.

At this time, Ouyang Ke should have just finished swimming, wearing only a pair of black underwear, and was sitting on a blue leisure chair by the pool. On the other lounge chair opposite him, there was another man, in his thirties, in a suit and leather shoes, he was none other than Ouyang Ke's friend Yang Yu.

Tang Xiaosheng is no stranger to Yang Yu, more than a month ago, it was because of Yang Yu's appearance. Tang Xiaosheng found Ouyang Ke. Yang Yu is currently a well-known producer in China and has a certain influence in the film and television industry, and the recent remake of Jin Yong's drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was produced by Yang Yu.

Yang Yu and Ouyang Ke have known each other for several years, so it is not surprising that he will appear here.

Since Yang Yu was present, Tang Xiaosheng was not easy to show up immediately, so he temporarily hid in a green lawn near the swimming pool, and with a movement of his ears, he eavesdropped on the conversation between Yang Yu and Ouyang Ke.

"Xiao Ke, your plan is too unreliable, it's completely whimsical. It's so impractical. At all costs. You don't want to get half a penny from me! Yang Yu held a project plan and joked to Ouyang Ke, "I'd rather invest my money in Chinese football than participate in your plan." ”

Ouyang Ke smiled. said: "It's not so unbearable, is it? Life. But a hundred years. If you don't do a lot of work, won't you work in vain? ”

Yang Yu said: "It's right to do a big job, but." This 'chronometer of yours' is just nonsense! He pointed to the plan in his hand, "If you really do what you plan to write, do you know how much money you have to invest?" Where did you get so much money? Even if there are a thousand assets of Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group, it is not enough! What's more, once the money is invested, I am afraid that it will be lost, which is a bottomless pit at all. What's more, money is only one aspect, and there are still many problems to be solved, and this plan is completely unfeasible. ”

After a while, Yang Yu asked Ouyang Ke earnestly: "Xiao Ke, have you encountered anything recently, how do you feel that your whole person has changed and become more and more unreliable?" A few days ago, you suddenly asked me to help you revise the script of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and today you suddenly asked me to participate in this bullshit 'chronometer plan' investment, with your intelligence, you shouldn't do such a childish thing! "You can't have been caught in the head lately, right?" ”

Ouyang Ke was unmoved, and said, "Just give me a happy word, how much can you sponsor me?" ”

Yang Yu said categorically: "I won't give a penny!" I'm definitely not going to touch this anyway! ”

Ouyang Ke asked rhetorically: "No, so picky, you are also my friend?" ”

"It's because I treat you as a friend that I won't invest money." Yang Yu persuaded bitterly, "Xiao Ke, give up these unrealistic fantasies, be down-to-earth, and do something practical, otherwise, the Ouyang family's industry will be ruined by you sooner or later." ”

……

Hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng, who was lurking in the green lawn, couldn't help but be curious. Judging from the dialogue between Yang Yu and Ouyang Ke, Ouyang Ke seems to be preparing to do a project called "Chronometer and Planning", and wants to pull Yang Yu into the gang.

"The amount of money needed for the 'Chrono Planning' project seems to be huge, but what kind of plan is it?" Tang Xiaosheng secretly pondered.

For more than a month, Xiao Zhao has been in charge of spying on Ouyang Ke. According to Xiao Zhao, Ouyang Ke has spent a lot of energy studying time-traveling novels these days, and has read more than 200 books in total. Tang Xiaosheng thought that Ouyang Ke might have been addicted to time-traveling novels, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly come up with a "chronometer plan" now.

For most of the next half an hour, Ouyang Ke had been trying to persuade Yang Yu to invest in his "Chrono Meter Plan", but unfortunately, it ended in failure, and Yang Yu seemed to be completely unable to agree with this plan.

When it was close to 0:00 in the morning, Yang Yu left alone, except Ouyang Ke who continued to lie on the leisure chair by the pool, quietly thinking about something while looking at the plan book of the "Chrono Meter and Plan" he had drawn up.

Sou!

At this moment, a black afterimage suddenly appeared in mid-air, like black lightning, rapidly passing through the air above the swimming pool!

"Who?"

Ouyang Ke was very alert, and immediately noticed the abnormal noise, and instinctively shouted.

Before the words fell, the black figure had already fallen in front of him, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was Tang Xiaosheng.

"Uncle!"

Ouyang Ke was overjoyed in his heart, and hurried forward with great excitement. He hadn't seen his father Ouyang Feng (Tang Xiaosheng) for more than a month, and he was very worried.

"Uncle, the child is looking forward to the moon every day, and today I finally looked forward to you!" Although Ouyang Ke knew that Ouyang Feng was his father, he had been calling Ouyang Feng "uncle" for more than ten years, and he had long been used to it, so he hadn't changed his words.

Tang Xiaosheng had just been eavesdropping on the side for more than half an hour, and he was full of curiosity about Ouyang Ke's "Chronometer Planning", so he asked straight to the point: "Ke'er, it seems that you are going to do a project called 'Chronometer Planning', what is going on?" ”

Ouyang Ke was slightly stunned. said: "Uncle heard it? Yes, it was a plan that I came up with more than ten days ago. ”

"What's the plan, tell me about it?"

The child obeyed. Uncle, you sit first. ”

After Tang Xiaosheng took a seat, Ouyang Ke handed over a plan for the project and said, "This is the manual of the 'Chrono Planning' project, please take a look at it." ”

There are more than 20 pages in total, and after Tang Xiaosheng took the book, he began to read it carefully.

Ouyang Ke, who was sitting on the side, was not idle, and was busy introducing: "This 'Chrono Chronometer Diagram' was what I thought of when I was reading a time-traveling novel. Recent times. I've read hundreds of time-traveling novels. It was found that most of the time-traveling novels tell the story of how the time-traveler conquered the world after crossing, but few time-travelers seriously explored the reasons for the cross-travel. I had a flash of inspiration, and I had this 'Chronometer Drawing'. ”

"The core of this 'super-space-time plan' is to study the 'space-time theory of the universe'. Study the 'Principles of Time Travel'. Find a 'way to travel back in time'. Uncover the 'truth about time travel'. The vast universe, hundreds of millions of galaxies, boundless. The divinity is unpredictable, and its complexity is far beyond what modern humans can imagine. If you want to gain insight into the nature of time and space in the universe and discover the principle of traveling through time and space, I am afraid that it is not possible for one or two people to do it. I think that only by gathering the wisdom of all people on the planet can there be a glimmer of hope. ”

After a pause, Ouyang Ke continued, "It is precisely because of this idea that I decided to start this 'Chronometer Plan', wanting to use all the resources I can to gather the top scientists in China and even the whole world to jointly study and explore the mysteries of time and space in the universe to explain the secrets of time travel. It would undoubtedly take a lot of money and resources to gather so many top scientists and conduct such a huge research project, so in recent days, I have started to solicit people around looking for partners. Because with my ability and financial resources, it is impossible for me to organize this 'chronometer plan.'"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng roughly understood what Ouyang Ke meant. To sum up, it is actually one sentence: Ouyang Ke wants to set up an institution composed of a large number of experts in cosmic science to study the causes of the occurrence of the phenomenon of traversal.

Putting down the book in his hand, Tang Xiaosheng asked Ouyang Ke curiously: "Why did you suddenly remember to do this?" ”

Ouyang Ke replied without thinking: "I want to go back in time to find Rong'er." ”

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ouyang Ke to be so infatuated. Ouyang Ke is so enthusiastic that he is desperate to do this "chronometer and plan", and the purpose is only to find the reason and principle of time travel, so as to travel back to the time and space of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and find the woman he loves - Huang Rong again.

"I didn't expect Rong'er's charm to be so great, and she could make Ouyang Ke so desperate to go back!" Tang Xiaosheng said secretly in his heart.

However, Ouyang Ke's "Chronometer Drawing", Tang Xiaosheng also felt that it was too idealistic and a bit fantastical.

From ancient times to the present, the subject of time and space in the universe has been the biggest problem facing mankind, and countless scholars, philosophers, wise men, and scientists have exhausted their entire energy for this.

With the continuous development of the earth's civilization, the enthusiasm of human beings to explore the universe is also increasing. Today, many countries have set up scientific research institutions dedicated to exploring the universe, and many governments and enterprises also invest a lot of money every year.

Despite this, human exploration of the universe has been limited so far.

In the face of the vastness of the universe, human beings seem too small. Humanity still has a long way to go to completely unravel the mystery of the universe, and it is not something that can be achieved in one or several generations.

Ouyang Ke's goal of "Chronometer Planning" is to explore the principle of time and space travel, which is too big and too far away from the current level of science and technology of human beings on the earth, and the conditions are completely immature.

Even if the world's scientific research institutions were to do this together, the chances of success would be slim to none. And Ouyang Ke now wants to challenge this completely impossible task with the power of one person, from a rational point of view, Ouyang Ke's idea is too crazy, even unreasonable.

However, having a dream is not a bad thing after all.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't want to hit Ouyang Ke's self-confidence, so he just asked lightly: "How is this plan progressing now?" ”

Ouyang Ke sighed softly and said truthfully: "It's not going well. Nowadays people are too realistic, and no one wants to do unprofitable business. I've been around for nearly ten days. I found more than 20 business friends and wanted them to participate in the investment of this 'time-lapse plan'. As a result, after reading the plan I wrote, each of them decisively refused. ”

Tang Xiaosheng is not surprised by this, investing in the study of the universe is difficult to see returns in the short term, and even all investments will be lost, which is not cost-effective at all. What's more, the amount of money needed to study the universe is beyond imagination, and it is a bottomless pit at all. Investments like this. No normal businessman would be interested.

If you can't attract investors. It is impossible for Ouyang Ke to support this "time-space plan" with Ouyang Ke's financial resources alone, Tang Xiaosheng asked: "How many people have you talked to about this plan in the past few days?" ”

Ouyang Ke thought for a while and said, "Including Yang Yu, I have already talked to the CEOs of 29 companies. ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked: "Are these 29 CEOs not interested in this plan?" ”

Ouyang Ke shook his head: "There are 28 CEOs who dare not be interested." Resolutely do not participate in the investment of 'time-lapse planning'. There is only one exception. ”

Tang Xiaosheng was a little curious. Unexpectedly, someone would be willing to invest in such an outrageous plan, and asked curiously: "Who voted in favor?" ”

Ouyang Ke replied: "It's Tang Xiaosheng!" ”

"Tang Xiaosheng?" Tang Xiaosheng's brows tightened slightly, and he was confused. Confused, he asked, "You're not mistaken, are you?" As far as I know, Tang Xiaosheng disappeared ten years ago, and no one knows his whereabouts, so how could he invest in this project? ”

"Tang Xiaosheng has indeed disappeared for more than ten years, but his influence is still unmatched." Ouyang Ke explained, "Last week, I sent an application to the 'Dream Fund', hoping that the Dream Fund would sponsor my 'Chronometer Project'. As a result, last evening, I received an email reply from the Dream Fund, saying that the application I submitted had passed the preliminary review, and I was asked to come to the headquarters of the Dream Fund tomorrow to negotiate. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly realized.

The Dream Fund was founded by Tang Xiaosheng more than ten years ago with the box office income of "The Film and Television Dramas We Watched Together in Those Years", and it is a charitable fund for the whole society. Anyone with a dream can apply to the Foundation for financial help according to their needs.

In the past ten years, more than 200,000 people have received donations from the Dream Fund, ranging from 1,000 yuan to 100,000,000 yuan, and the total donation amount has exceeded 60 billion.

Although the amount of money donated by the Dream Fund is very large, it does not make ends meet, but forms a virtuous circle, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger. Many people who have received donations from the Dream Fund have donated to the Dream Fund with gratitude after their success, hoping that the fund will benefit more people.

It is precisely because of this that after more than ten years of development, the Dream Fund is still standing and continues to play its rightful role.

When Ouyang Ke submitted his application to the Dream Fund this time, he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect the result to surprise him, and his application actually passed the preliminary review.

"If there are more people like Tang Xiaosheng in this society, it will be much easier to carry out the 'chronometer planning'." Ouyang Ke sighed.

Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "Even if the Dream Fund finally agrees to provide you with financial help, it will only be a few hundred million yuan at most, which is not enough for the entire 'Chrono Meter Scheme', and you will still not be able to move an inch." ”

"Uncle is right, there is still a long way to go to raise funds, and even if the Dream Fund is willing to support me, it is only a small step." Ouyang Ke said, "However, in order to go back to see Rong'er, I will definitely persevere and will not give up." ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked curiously: "How do you know that Huang Rong's girl didn't cross over?" What if you travel back in time and find that Rong'er is not in the time and space of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? ”

Ouyang Ke said: "If I can really reverse the crossing back in the future, it means that I have mastered the crossing technique at that time, and at that time, I should be able to travel back again." ”

Talking about this, from Ouyang Ke's resolute eyes, Tang Xiaosheng could see that he was serious, Ouyang Ke really decided to give it a go, sank, and said: "Let's get together once tonight, you can tell me in detail about your 'chronometer plan'!" ”

"Uncle is also interested in this plan?"

"A little. Say, what are you going to do? ”

"My thoughts are like this......"

So, Ouyang Ke began to talk about the concept of "Chronometer Planning" in his heart in detail and comprehensively.

This includes the idea that he will set up a technology company and build a science park. Specialized in the service of "Chronometer Planning"; He is ready to establish in-depth cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Research Institute of Peking University, the Research Institute of Tsinghua University, the Research Institute of Jinghua University and other well-known scientific research institutions in China. He plans to take Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group as the foundation and the Science and Technology Park as an opportunity to find a new business model, expand the business scale of the group, and hope to earn more profits, so as to have more funds to invest in the "time-lapse plan" and form a virtuous circle.

Ouyang Ke is a wealthy second-generation who has received a good education, and has already received a doctorate from Harvard Business School at the age of 22. After graduating, he returned to China. And began to work in Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group. Learn the way of business from his father.

After a few years of exposure to Ouyang Ke, although Ouyang Ke is still very young, he already has a good business vision, and after inheriting the position of chairman of Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group. He's also at ease.

The. Ouyang Ke (Ouyang Ke) formulated this "time-lapse plan", although it was too advanced. But it was also a deliberate decision he made, and it was not reckless.

After listening to Ouyang Ke's introduction to the "Chronometer Planning", Tang Xiaosheng knew that Ouyang Ke was determined to do this. And he is not a whim, but has a long-term, meticulous, and somewhat operable plan.

Tang Xiaosheng also knew in his heart that the possibility of success of Ouyang's plan was almost non-existent, but the value of dreams has always been measured by success or failure.

What's more, in the final analysis, the essence of the "Chronometer Planning" is to explore the mysteries of the universe and pursue the truth, no matter what, this is worth encouraging, although Ouyang Ke's motives are not too pure.

Tang Xiaosheng and Ouyang Ke chatted for a whole night on the topic of "Chronometer Planning" until five o'clock in the morning of the next day.

After a night of detailed discussion, Tang Xiaosheng basically understood Ouyang Ke's thoughts, frowned slightly, and asked: "In this way, what do you estimate to be the initial start-up capital of the 'Chronometer Planning'?" ”

Ouyang Ke replied: "I have carefully calculated that the start-up capital of the 'Chronometer Plan' needs at least 30 billion yuan. I now have about 11 billion personal property, and in addition, I can take out about 5 billion from Ouyang Pharmaceutical's capital chain, and the two add up to about 16 billion. 16 billion is the largest amount I can come up with, and the start-up capital needs at least 30 billion, so I am still at least 14 billion yuan short. ”

After a pause, Ouyang Ke said, "I can only ask others for the remaining 14 billion, and I hope to pull a few partners to strive to officially launch the 'Chronometer Plan' within this year." ”

Tang Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "It's not that easy, no one will be willing to invest in such an unprofitable plan." ”

"I also know that it is difficult, but this is the only way to do it at the moment." Ouyang Ke said helplessly. He talked to his best friend Yang Yu for most of the night tonight, hoping that Yang Yu could invest some money. As a result, he bothered to persuade for several hours, but Yang Yu still felt that this plan had no future, and he was unwilling to pay a penny.

"That's it, I'll hold on to the 14 billion first." At this time, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly said, "You will leave the bank account to me in a while, and in a few days, I will transfer 20 billion funds to you." ”

"20 billion?"

Ouyang Ke was shocked in his heart, his eyes widened, and he thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked weakly, "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said lightly: "'Chronometer and Planning' is still just a fantasy on paper, and you can't see the profit point at all, it's too difficult for you to attract people to join the gang." I'll give you 20 billion first, you start this plan, make some achievements for everyone to see, and expand your influence, so that there may be hope to attract investment. ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Ke realized that he had heard correctly, Tang Xiaosheng really wanted to give him 20 billion, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, what kind of business are you doing, how can you be so rich?" ”

Until now, Ouyang Ke only knew that the fifty-year-old man (Tang Xiaosheng) in front of Lu Dao was his father Ouyang Feng, but he didn't know what the identity of this old man was in the modern city. Ouyang Ke saw that this old man was dressed plainly, and thought that he was a poor bastard, but he didn't expect that he would be able to come up with 20 billion yuan in a few days.

This kind of courage is something that few people in the country can do.

In fact, Tang Xiaosheng doesn't know how much money he has, but he estimates that his current wealth should be more than 30 billion.

More than ten years ago, the box office of the movies "Moonlight Treasure Box" and "The Film and Television Dramas We Watched Together in Those Years" starring Tang Xiaosheng were charity, but there was one exception, that was "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The total box office income of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exceeded 30 billion, and the money that finally fell into Tang Xiaosheng's pocket was about 22 billion. In addition to box office revenue, Tang Xiaosheng also holds a lot of shares in Dream House Film and Television and Kung Fu School, all of which are added together, properly exceeding 30 billion.

In the past ten years, Tang Xiaosheng has been in seclusion and has never touched the money. He originally wanted to leave the 30 billion to his children, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not necessary. Because with the ability of his children, he will definitely be the dragon among people and the phoenix among people in the future, and he doesn't need his little money at all.

As a result, Tang Xiaosheng has never known what to do with the 30 billion.

Today, after listening to Ouyang Ke's "Chronometer Plan", Tang Xiaosheng made a temporary decision to take out 20 billion to fund him. On the one hand, Tang Xiaosheng is now pretending to be Ouyang Feng and giving Ouyang Ke a little money, which is as it should be; On the other hand, he felt that Ouyang Ke's plan was very worth trying.

Tang Xiaosheng has also recently begun to study the phenomenon of traversal, and his research method uses Yin Zhiping as a sample to conduct soul research. As for the research method of the soul, I learned it from Nie Xiaoqian.

The knowledge system about the soul and the knowledge system of modern science and technology are two completely different systems, so Tang Xiaosheng's research ideas are very different from those of modern scientific research institutions.

Studying the phenomenon of crossing from two different angles, Tang Xiaosheng feels that it is still very meaningful. Perhaps the research results of the two sides can complement each other, and in the end, they will end up in the same place and solve the mystery of the crossing together.

If this is really the case, then Ouyang Ke can be regarded as a great favor to Tang Xiaosheng, and Tang Xiaosheng's investment is completely worth it.

Of course, Tang Xiaosheng didn't have any hope that the "Chronometer Planning" would succeed. Because this plan is ten thousand times more difficult than ascending to the sky, even if Ouyang Ke makes a big determination, it is impossible to succeed.

Taking a step back, even if Ouyang Ke's "Chronometer Planning" fails, it is still a very meaningful thing. After all, this plan itself is an exploration of the unknown universe and the development of modern science and technology, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

As for 20 billion yuan, in Tang Xiaosheng's eyes, it was just a string of numbers, and it was nothing to give to Ouyang Ke.

"Uncle, I don't know what to say, I ......" Ouyang Ke suddenly got 20 billion funds, which meant that he would soon be able to start the chronometer plan, he couldn't help but be a little excited, slowed down, and said to Tang Xiaosheng seriously, "No matter what, the child will definitely work hard, do a good job in this plan, and strive to live up to his uncle's hard work." ”

"Do it."

Talking about this, the sky was about to dawn, Tang Xiaosheng patted Ouyang Ke's shoulder and said, "I'm going to go first, I'll come to you again if I have something." ”

"Uncle ......"

Ouyang Ke just wanted to say goodbye, but unfortunately, before he could speak, Tang Xiaosheng swished, left like lightning, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ouyang Ke was stunned for a while, and secretly sighed in his heart: I thought I was very rich, but I didn't expect that my father (Tang Xiaosheng) was richer than me, and he was worthy of being my father, and it was really unfathomable. It seems that his father is the dearest, and without saying a word, he gave me 20 billion.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down." (To be continued......)
