For many, the listing of Yahoo on the NASDAQ on March 10, 1996, was a landmark event.

It represents the advent of a new era, and the Internet economy will profoundly change the political, economic and even social patterns of countries around the world, and have a profound impact on human civilization.

For Ma Yun, Yahoo's listing has strengthened his determination to engage in the Internet industry.

But for Pang Xuelin and his Transwarp, Yahoo's IPO is just a starting point.

In 1997, Pang Xuelin completed his studies at Lancheng University.

In the same year, the Asian financial crisis erupted.

The legendary little god is out of the mountain again. Stirring up the global financial landscape, the international tour capital led by Soros suffered heavy losses in the attack on Xiangjiang.

Pang Xuelin took advantage of the financial crisis to make another profit of more than $5 billion.

In May 1997, Yahoo China, Google China, and Penguin China were launched one after another.

China's Internet industry has begun to develop greatly.

In July, HiSilicon officially launched the first generation of X86 instruction set-compatible CPU, codenamed Zhaoxin.

In September, the MIX instruction set chip Loongson based on Pang Xuelin, which was in charge of Hu Weiwu, officially entered the tape-out state.

In 1998, Huawei successfully entered the markets in Russia, Southeast Asia and Africa, and in March, Huawei officially released the first generation of 2G mobile phones, with a price of 1,000 yuan, which instantly made it the best-selling model in the entire Chinese market.

At the same time, Transwarp Technology has launched its own brand of notebooks and desktops.

Chips such as motherboards and GPUs are supplied by HiSilicon.

In the autumn of the same year, Transwarp officially established a chip factory and began to enter the chip foundry industry.

In 1999, China's first space shuttle made its first successful flight, and China became the third country in the world after the United States and the Soviet Union to master space shuttle technology.

In April 1999, Pang Xuelin and Mu Qingqing held a simple wedding in their hometown in Lancheng, except for a few relatives, friends and teachers, most of the people who attended the wedding did not know the existence of this wedding.

On 7 May, the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed, and Sino-US relations deteriorated.

In July, Cisco, which has a market value of more than $400 billion, rushed towards the company with the highest market value in the history of the Nasdaq, but Pang Xuelin began to reduce his stake in Cisco step by step, citing the deterioration of Sino-US relations.

By the beginning of 2000, Pang Xuelin had cashed out a total of more than $40 billion, and basically left Cisco.

In March 2000, the U.S. Department of Commerce launched an antitrust investigation into Yahoo, and Pang Xuelin announced the sale of some of Yahoo's U.S. shares, cashing out more than $50 billion.

At the same time, Penguin Group and Google Group, which are controlled by Transwarp, began to withdraw from the United States one after another to deploy globally.

In 2001, Transwarp basically withdrew from the United States, and Pang Xuelin was already the richest man in the world.

But Pang Xuelin is quite low-key in the media and rarely participates in various social activities.

On the contrary, various hope projects supported by him have blossomed all over the country.

In September 2001, when the 911 incident broke out, the United States turned its main focus to global counter-terrorism, and Pang Xuelin and his Transwarp Group, which had been suppressed by the United States, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In 2002, Transwarp launched a landmark tablet computer, the CPU is the MIX chip led by Transwarp, and the system is also the matrix operating system developed by Transwarp.

As soon as this product was launched, it caused a sensation among digital product enthusiasts around the world, and the mobile Internet era began to emerge.

At the same time, both the open-source matrix operating system and the MIX chip pose a strong challenge to the wintel alliance.

In 2003, after a year of brewing, Transwarp withdrew from the first generation of smartphones and started the mobile Internet revolution.

In July 2003, China's new-generation space station was completed.

Time unconsciously entered 2004.

……

Lancheng, in a dilapidated dormitory.

"Ahh

Lu Hai got up from the bed and couldn't help but sneeze.

At this time, Pang Shuiwa climbed down from Lu Hai's top bunk and said, "Professor Lu, which company are we going to go to today." ”

Lu Haidao: "Let's go to Shuneng Optoelectronics again, if we still can't talk about it, we have to go back to Beijing first." ”

Pang Shuiwa opened her mouth, as if she wanted to speak and stopped.

Lu Haidao: "What's wrong?" ”

Pang Shuiwa hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing." ”

"Shui Wa, you go and put up the mirror film sun stove, let's heat up the leftover meal from yesterday, don't waste it."

"Okay!"

The water baby is busy.

Lu Hai looked at this student of his own age and shook his head with a smile.

Shuiwa went to elementary school at the age of 19, went to college at the age of 27, and graduated with a doctorate this year, which is already 33 years old.

It stands to reason that it is difficult to make any achievements in scientific research since he only graduated with a doctorate at this age.

But as a student, I am diligent and down-to-earth, and I have a lot of energy in scientific research.

The reason why he was able to make nanomirror film materials so quickly was because of the water baby's contribution in the middle.

What moved Lu Hai even more was that after the successful research of nanomirror film materials, Lu Hai spent all his money in order to promote this material, but he never achieved too good results.

Shuiwa has already received offers from several scientific research institutions, but because of her own relationship, she has always been by her side.

In the past six months, he has accompanied himself to run around the country, trying to promote nanomirror films, but there has been no progress.

Lancheng is the last stop of the land and sea planning, if it still can't be negotiated today, then he will completely abandon the project and return to the capital with the water baby.

After all, even if he was willing to persevere, he couldn't bear to waste his time as a student destined for a bright future.

The water baby didn't care about Lu Hai's gaze, he picked up a pool of cloth materials like mercury in the corner.

The material is soft and smooth, so light that it barely feels weighty, and the surface reflects the strange image of its own deformation, and the color patterns on the surface of the soap bubbles. As soon as he let go, the silver cloth slipped silently from his fingers to the ground, like a handful of light mercury.

The water baby took the cloth material to the balcony outside, and then plugged in a wire connected to the material.

At the moment of activating the switch, the originally soft material suddenly becomes hard, forming an umbrella-shaped solar cooker.

It stands to reason that this thing should be most useful for outdoor adventures, but it also needs to be connected to a wire.

So after Lu Hai spent millions to launch this product, he directly lost it to his grandmother's house.

Even online platforms can't sell it, so they can only be thrown in the warehouse to eat ashes.

After breakfast, Shuiwa followed Lu Hai to a new energy company in the Lancheng Development Zone.

This company is mainly engaged in molten salt energy storage solar thermal power stations.

The so-called molten salt energy storage CSP station technology actually uses raw materials such as sodium nitrate as the heat transfer medium, which is generally combined with the solar thermal power generation system, so that the solar thermal power generation system has energy storage and night power generation capacity, which can meet the needs of power grid peak regulation.

In general, such power stations require a large number of highly reflective materials to reflect sunlight, and the nanomirror film developed by Professor Lu undoubtedly has such potential.

On the one hand, although the solar reflectivity of the nanomirror film is high, compared with the general mirror material, the improvement is not large, and the cost is several times higher than that of ordinary mirror materials.

Moreover, this material needs to be energized to form a fixed shape, although the current required is very small, but it requires additional wiring, and the construction difficulty is much greater than that of ordinary molten salt energy storage solar thermal power stations.

Under normal circumstances, as long as a company's brain is not down, it is unlikely to accept such a product.

In fact, Lu Hai doesn't know anything.

It's just that Lu Hai is still a little unwilling and wants to grasp this life-saving straw to make a final attempt.

However, the result of the attempt did not surprise Shui Wa in the end.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Hai came out of the Digital Energy Technology Co., Ltd. in Lancheng High-tech Zone with a disgraced face, grinned at the water baby waiting outside, and said with a wry smile: "Water baby, it still didn't work, let's buy tonight's train ticket and go back to Beijing directly." ”

"Professor Lu!"

The water baby opened her mouth, and stopped talking. ”

"What's wrong?"

Lu Hai looked at Shui Wa curiously.

Shui Wa said: "Professor Lu, perhaps, I have a way to help you." ”

"What's the solution?"

Lu Hai looked at the water baby curiously.

For himself as a student, Lu Hai doesn't know much.

I only know that the other party is married, and the family conditions should not be bad.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to be thirty-three years old, and finally graduated with a doctorate, and still messing around outside with himself.

Shui Wa said: "I...... I have a relative who has a lot of money, maybe we can convince him to invest in our project, and he lives in Lancheng now. ”

"Do you have a relative? Oh, I almost forgot, you seem to be from Lancheng, Shui Wa, or I'll give you a vacation, you rest at home for a while, I'll take the train back first, and then I'll go back to Beijing next month to find me. ”

Shui Wa said: "Professor Lu, I'm not joking with you, my relative is really capable of helping you!" ”

Lu Hai shook his head, stepped forward and patted Shui Wa's shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "Shui Wa, I understand your kindness." But I also know that my invention is probably not of great use, even if there is investment, but what about our product planning? What the hell is this thing for, I still don't know what it's for! If your relatives are really willing to invest money, they will cheat others! ”

Shui Wa showed a look of anxiety on her face and said, "Professor Lu, I'm ...... I know, but that relative of mine can really help us, even if we can't think of a better use for the nanomirror film for a while, but he can definitely think of it! ”

Lu Hai frowned.

Shui Wa continued: "And...... And I had already called him, and he said to send someone to pick us up, and we just had to wait here. ”

"That'...... Then let's see it! ”

Lu Hai couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of the water baby, and said with a wry smile.

The two waited for a few more minutes, the development time of the high-tech zone was not long, and the vehicles on the road were very sparse.

Shui Wa looked at the end of the road with some anxiety.

After a while, a convoy appeared in the distance, all of which were red flag luxury car series.

"They're coming!"

Shuiwa pointed to the convoy and said.

"Where?"

Lu Hai frowned.

There were no other vehicles on the road except for the team of red flag cars.

Lu Hai didn't think that this team of red flags was here to pick him up.

But more than a minute later, a scene happened that made Lu Hai stunned.

I saw that the five Hongqi cars slowly stopped in front of the two, the front and rear guards were the Hongqi luxury SUV series, with a price of nearly one million, and the middle was a Hongqi L series heavy-duty bulletproof car, which was a Führer car, which was almost the same as the top Lincoln series Führer cars abroad.

As far as Lu Hai knows, the civilian version of this car costs as much as five million, and this bulletproof version will only be more expensive.

A group of black-clothed men got out of the car, led by one of them, walked up to Shui Wa, bowed and said, "Young Master Shui Wa, Mr. Pang is waiting for you in the manor!" ”

Until he got in the car, Lu Hai felt like he was in a dream.

"Water baby, what does your family do?"

Lu Hai looked at Pang Shuiwa and couldn't believe it.

Shuiwa once talked to him about his childhood, saying that he had endured a lot of hardships, and then the family conditions gradually improved, and he began to go back to school, so that he had the opportunity to be admitted to the highest level of education in China.

But now, Lu Hai felt that he should re-evaluate what Shui Wa had said to him.

This is not just a re-improvement of the conditions at home, this is completely a wealthy family, okay?!

Shui Wa seemed to feel that she had deceived the teacher, and was a little embarrassed, and said, "Professor Lu, in short, you will know when you see my relative later." ”

Half an hour later, the convoy stopped at the gate of a manor on the outskirts of Lancheng.

Lu Hai got out of the car and looked around, and couldn't help but be a little amazed.

For the first time, he knew that there were such mansions around Lancheng.

The manor is surrounded by green trees and lush vegetation, and the whole manor is designed with a traditional Chinese structure, the appearance is a bit of the style of Qiao's compound, but the interior decoration incorporates new modern technology, after entering, rockeries, gardens, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, and even helipads, all available.

Lu Hai and Shui Wa, under the leadership of the staff in the manor, soon came to a tea pavilion.

There was a young man wearing sunglasses sitting in the tea pavilion, the young man was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, but his temperament gave people a feeling of being on the road for a long time, even through the sunglasses, Lu Hai could faintly feel the edge of the gaze behind the sunglasses.

"Brother Shuiwa, you're back, this should be your teacher, Professor Lu."

The young man took off his sunglasses, looked at Lu Hai and smiled.

Lu Hai looked at the man in front of him blankly, and an incredible look flashed in his eyes: "You...... You are Pang ...... Pang Xuelin! Pang Xuelin...... Pang Shuiwa...... No wonder...... No wonder Shuiwa, when you talk to me about your family, you are always dodgy. ”

The water baby lowered her head a little embarrassed.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Professor Lu, please take a seat!" ”

"Mr. Pang, excuse me!"

Lu Haihai went up and shook hands with Pang Xuelin, then entered the tea pavilion and sat down on the other side of Pang Xuelin.
