On the evening of June 7, an urgent telegram from the Shanghai Telephone Bureau left everyone dumbfounded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that on the morning of June 7, the Japanese government suddenly promulgated a ban on Japanese people entering China, and in response, the Chinese government decided to immediately withdraw all students on official assignment in Japan, and the embassy and consulates in Japan should cooperate with the units where the students belong to complete the work.
With the cooperation of the Tokyo Embassy, the Shanghai Telephone Bureau helped Wang Pengfei and them book a return ticket as quickly as possible, and they were about to leave in the early morning.
In Wang Pengfei's room, everyone was arguing, and some students promised to bring Japanese electrical appliances such as color TVs to their homes in Shanghai, but of course they had no time to purchase them, so they all asked Wang Pengfei to come forward to communicate with the embassy or telephone bureau and give them a few days to return to China.
Fortunately, Wang Pengfei's prestige is high, and he quickly calmed everyone down, "Everyone is not unaware of the situation in China in the past six months, and most of the comrades in Shanghai Jiaotong where Mr. Liu is located have not been able to withstand the test and wet their feet. Everyone has been doing very well during this time in Japan, with a fresh political mind, abiding by the discipline of foreign affairs, today is the last night, if there is any accident, your nearly three years of study abroad will be wasted, I ask everyone to unconditionally obey the organizational arrangements, now immediately pack up and pack, and throw away those that cannot be carried. If some students still have unfinished matters, they will leave a note, and I will ask the comrades from the embassy to handle it on their behalf. After speaking, he glanced at Liu Weiping.
At this time, Liu Weiping couldn't help but admire Wang Pengfei coming, no wonder he could be elected as the head of the regiment, he could not only adhere to principles but also talk about human feelings, he took out the diary and tore off a page, wrote his domestic mailing address and sealed it into an envelope, and wrote on the envelope the painting of Tokyo University of the Arts. He thought about it, took out the paper again, wrote "no regrets" and resealed it in the envelope, and handed it to Wang Pengfei.
With a little melancholy, the group got on the plane from the new Tokyo International Airport and returned to Shanghai, Liu Weiping specially asked to sit in the porthole, when the huge Boeing 737 flew off the runway, Liu Weiping turned his head sideways to look down on Tokyo, the street light strip in the early morning was tightly wound around the city like a spider web, Lin Shuangmian was hiding in one of the corners, Liu Weiping searched with all his eyes, the city was getting farther and farther away, the black Tokyo Bay became tilted in the field of vision, and a burst of loss occupied Liu Weiping's heart, farewell, Lin Shuangmian.
Lin Shuangmian didn't know that Liu Weiping had left Tokyo, nor did she receive the note he left, when she learned from her classmates in the School of Art that the Chinese students were evacuated one after another, she thought of Liu Weiping, and after hesitating for two days, Lin Shuangmian still came to the dormitory of the international students of Tokyo University, and Liu Weiping's room was empty.
She found Ishida Sogo again, only to know that Liu Weiping had returned to China for almost two months, Lin Shuangmian asked around and finally got a call from Shanghai Jiaotong University, when she called to find Liu Weiping, the duty officer of Jiaotong University told her that it was already summer vacation, and there was no way to find Liu Weiping.
A burst of anger rushed up, and Lin Shuangmian threw out all the objects that Liu Weiping had left in her residence. She cried and found Assanzi, poured out all her anguish, and that night, Lin Shuangmian did not return to her residence.
On Christmas Day 1989, Lin Shuangmian and Assanzi's flight landed at Puerto Rico's San Juan Airport.
After more than 30 hours of sailing, Lin Shuangmian did not look so tired, she spent a long time in Monterey City and Tokyo, and suddenly arrived in the Caribbean islands, where the equatorial climate and Spanish style made her very fresh.
Arriving in the town of Arecivo, Assanzi learned that Clifford had used his resume to secure a job at the University of California, Berkeley, teaching undergraduate digital signal processing, and that IBM had developed a special assistive listening system for him that could convert sound signals into visual language, and he became a star in California.
While the Kerry couple are semi-retired, the Bat project is not alive, the supercomputer at the naval base has been shut down for many years, and Arecivo is really on the verge of becoming a purely astronomical observatory, and the signals collected by radio telescopes are transferred from communications satellites to the Cornell University Computer Center in New York State to be processed along with other work.
Accustomed to the Puerto Rican climate and reluctant to return to the continental United States, Kerry volunteered as an observer at the Arecivo Observatory, keeping a radio telescope on duty.
Assanzi is returning to Cornell's headquarters in Ithaca after a two-month vacation. Assanzi took Lin Shuangmian to swim all over the island of Puerto Rico, sunshine, waves, sand, ancient cities, tropical rainforests, and of course, the famous radio telescope, Lin Shuangmian spent one of the happiest times of her life, and she married Assanzi.
After Liu Weiping returned to China, he quickly regained his self-confidence, thinking that he would definitely get ahead in the School of Communication with his qualifications in the University of Tokyo, and it was indeed the case at the beginning, the leaders from the college to the school were very courteous to him, and the School of Communication of Jiaotong University was not the biological son of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and it was urgent to establish a position in the industry.
But the situation is changing violently, in 1987, in order to achieve mobile communication integration with Hong Kong and Macao, Guangdong took the lead in building a 900 MHz analog mobile phone, the first mobile phone entered the Chinese market, relying on the street video halls all over the country to broadcast Hong Kong police and gangster films virally, this brick-like stupid guy soon became a status symbol.
The call quality of this product is very poor, often to shout not to say, but also mobile phone mobile call, constantly walking around to improve the quality of the call, even so, is also a machine is hard to find, the public price is about 20,000 yuan, but generally it costs 25,000 yuan to buy, the black market price has been as high as 50,000 yuan, which not only discourages the average person, that is, small and medium-sized enterprises can afford not much, can use the few people.
Most smart people always look at the wrong direction of history, Liu Weiping is also one of them, he did not realize that the mobile era is coming, he also saw mobile phones in Japan, he stubbornly believes that the Chinese market is far from accepting mobile communications, he put his energy on wired communications, he does not know that the southern market has not only set up an analog mobile communication network, the mobile communication network has begun to tender.
Four years later, the digital cellular communication network will be put into use, the north and south post and telecommunications have long gotten the news, the professors have shifted the direction of research, and Liu Weiping firmly believes that Shanghai's 1 million fixed telephones still have 5 times the growth space, and set their main direction on wired communication encryption.
He missed the opportunity to be at the forefront, and the School of Communication quickly abandoned him, and Liu Weiping returned to China for two years but was still an ordinary associate professor.
At the beginning of 1992, an undergraduate student named Zhao Yonggang in Liu Weiping's class attracted his attention, Zhao Yonggang is a native of Wafangdian, Liaoning, his parents are teachers, the genes of northerners and the nutrition of children are good, and he is more than a head taller than Liu Weiping.
This Zhao Yonggang is not stupid, he actually wrote a paper on computer algorithms before graduating from his bachelor's degree, and gave it to Liu Weiping for advice, Liu Weiping admired it in his heart, and it was faintly Ishida Sogo's idea.
Seeing Zhao Yonggang's paper, Liu Weiping remembered the heart waves found in Tokyo again, and remembered the days and nights in Ishida's Sogo laboratory, a plan was formed in his heart, the opportunity to get ahead appeared again, and good luck came.
Liu Weiping couldn't hold back his excitement and found Zhao Yonggang, "Xiao Zhao, I read your paper, it's so talented, and I thought of it with the teacher all the time." ”
Zhao Yonggang smiled modestly, "Teacher, you can give your opinion again, I don't know if it's written in a reasonable way, if I really don't have confidence in the defense now." ”
Young man with many duties, Liu Weiping has a bottom in his heart, "Xiao Zhao, when I was studying in Japan, I also wrote a paper similar to yours, but it was immature, so it was not published. ”
"Ah, you also wrote, teacher? So I'm right, right? Zhao Yong just saw that several classmates' papers were knocked back when they were choosing topics, and his hanging heart relaxed.
"You are still an idea, there is no problem with the direction, and it is not difficult to graduate from the bachelor's degree. If you can go deeper, and the specific algorithm can form a case, it is not impossible for this quality to be published in Nature. ”
Liu Weiping has been working for almost ten years, and his ability to deal with these hairy guys is still more than enough. "How? Have you ever considered continuing your studies and coming to my graduate school? Liu Weiping finally revealed his thoughts.
"I can't make my own decisions about this, I have to write home and ask my parents for advice." Zhao Yonggang scratched his head.
"You don't need to write a letter, you call back with the teacher's office phone and decide as soon as possible, the number of teachers is limited, and there are many other students who miss graduate school." Liu Weiping was anxious to finalize it.
Fortunately, Zhao Yonggang's parents are intellectuals, and since the teacher asked him to go to graduate school, he naturally would not object. Zhao Yonggang didn't have to be busy with his graduation thesis and contact with the assigned work unit like other students, and followed Liu Weiping to prepare for the graduate exam while doing pulse wave research.
Liu Weiping carefully told him about Ishida Sogo's ideas, and also told Zhao Yonggang about his research results at the University of Tokyo, hoping that this talented young man could go to a higher level on his own foundation.
Zhao Yonggang was really smart, and it didn't take long to digest the teacher's previous accumulation, "Teacher Liu, according to Professor Ishida's thinking, what we lack is computing resources, you still have a small computer in Japan, and we don't have anything here, only a few workstations." Zhao Yonggang found Liu Weiping's words and broke the key to the problem.
"Xiao Zhao, don't panic, I asked you to think about this matter before you went to graduate school, we can apply to the National Natural Science and Technology Foundation for a project, such a project is ahead of many years even in Japan, I think such a project must be no problem to report to the Science and Technology Foundation Committee, and then apply for a major project of the country or Shanghai after there is progress, the most unsuccessful way I can also find the Shanghai Telephone Bureau, I have a good relationship with their leaders, and it is also a way to ask them to fund." Liu Weiping spared no effort to cheer Zhao Yonggang up.
In fact, the young Zhao Yonggang has his own ideas, although he stayed on the campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University, but the idea of commodity economy has already brainwashed him, he came to Shanghai only two years ago to learn to practice stalls behind Jiaotong University, get some students' socks and shoes to sell, today no one will see into the eyes of the law, but at that time it was definitely a tall entrepreneurial project, 20 years later with such qualifications can be a monument to the business school forum.
Liu Weiping didn't see this, which means that he is really just an associate professor in school. Liu Weiping gave Zhao Yonggang an idea, the young man found the business opportunities inside, Bill Gates was only 37 years old at the time, started with the DOS operating system, and in 1992 he was already among the top ten richest people in the world, Zhao Yonggang saw his future path, he wrote to his parents to ask for help was just a casual rhetoric, he decided to seize this opportunity in his heart, and did not hesitate to join Liu Weiping. So when Liu Weiping asked him to prepare the application materials for the Natural Science and Technology Fund, Zhao Yonggang stayed up all night and quickly got it out.
During the summer vacation, several members of the Science and Technology Fund happened to have a meeting at Jiaotong University, and Liu Weiping had the courage to take Zhao Yonggang to send the materials in, wanting to listen to the opinions of the members.
Liu Weiping was arrogant, and when arguing, he contradicted one of the old men, and several people joined forces to scold the two young people, how could the position of academic authority allow two hairless people to challenge.
Liu Weiping came back angrily and tore the material to pieces, Zhao Yonggang was more than ten years younger than Liu Weiping, and his brain was much more sophisticated than that of the teacher, and he saw the problem behind it at a glance.
Two days later, he came to Liu Weiping to say goodbye, "Teacher, I have thought about it carefully, I don't want to stay in Shanghai for development, I don't want to go to graduate school, I want to go to Shenzhen." ”
"What? Going to Shenzhen? To study or work, there are no universities in Shenzhen? The assignment has ended, what are your plans to go to Shenzhen? Liu Weiping didn't understand the young man's thoughts very much.
"Stocks, teacher, have you heard, you can make a fortune if you go to Shenzhen and buy stocks." Zhao Yonggang was very honest with Liu Weiping and had nothing to hide.
"Stocks? What do you know? Five years ago, in Japan, I saw Tadamichi Ito go bankrupt in the speculative market and commit suicide by seppuku standing on the roof of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and his wealth was the second largest in the world at the time. ”
Ito Tadado seppuku did see it with his own eyes, but what the stock market was all about, Liu Weiping actually didn't understand anything, what he had to do was to leave Zhao Yonggang behind, use the wisdom of the students to establish himself in the academic arena, and climb the uphill road of life again.
"Teacher, I have bought my train ticket, I also want to ask you to support me one thing, can you lend me your ID card, I will buy it with money, it is best to lend me everything you know, you can buy stocks when you get to Shenzhen with your ID card, and I will send you the money then." Zhao Yonggang's words became more and more unacceptable to Liu Weiping.
In the end, the two argued, "Xiao Zhao, do you still have me as a teacher in your eyes?" Are you so young, and your mind is full of thoughts about how to get rich? You know how much effort we spend to train a college student, and now let you go to graduate school, which is a good stage to give full play to your talents, but I didn't expect that your dignified college students of Shanghai Jiaotong University would have to be in the company of those small businessmen and hawkers, this is okay, don't take the right path, go to Shenzhen to speculate in the market. Haven't you seen that all the elements in prison were imprisoned for speculation a few years ago, and you are going to follow their path? Liu Weiping didn't care about his own image and reprimanded loudly.
Zhao Yonggang couldn't listen to a word, "Teacher, I've already decided, I won't change it, I'll leave at night, you think about it again, I'll wait for you in the canteen at night, if you're willing to lend me your ID card, meet in the canteen." After saying that, he walked away without looking back
