The year 1998 came suddenly.

At the New Year's Eve party in Times Square in New York the night before, many well-known singers were invited to sing again, and Ramirez was also honored to be on stage.

The joyful atmosphere shrouded the world, and Han Xuan released a congratulatory video through ABC TV on the first day, announcing that all products of Hope Technology Group would be discounted for two more days, with discounts as high as 95%, triggering a wave of scrambling.

Now I find an opportunity to be busy clearing the stock, and by the way, I will increase my market share, and by March many new products will be on the market.

People are happy, and sigh that a year has passed like this again, and the more they grow up, the more they feel that time has passed, and it seems that nothing happened last year, but it just disappears quietly.

On the first day, the old man took the time to visit his grandson at the Snow Mountain Ranch, and he has been busy recently, because the listing time of the SOS supermarket department has been determined, which is scheduled for January 12, and as a major shareholder, he needs to deal with many things.

As the new millennium approaches, many people, under the influence of rumors, feel that their lives have entered the countdown.

The famous French prophet Nocha Danmars in the 16th century once predicted that on December 31, 1999, God would punish mankind and create a catastrophe that would bring about the destruction of mankind.

In the 70s, the Japanese Koto Tsutomu further affirmed Nocha's prediction, claiming that on August 18, 1999, the sun, moon and nine planets in the sky would form a "cross" shape, claiming that this day was the real end of the world.

A wealthy Ukrainian even spent a lot of money to buy an abandoned underground bunker, planning to build a "new Noah's Ark" in it to survive the end of the world, which attracted countless media follow-up reports.

Since the early New Year, when the prophecy about Nocha Danmas spread on the Internet, this panic storm has quickly swept the world, and the main rumor is that by that time the Earth will be exposed to aliens, which in turn will lead to Star Wars.

The sad Pluto has not yet been removed from the nine planets, and the "Nine Stars Alignment" has a mysterious color in the minds of the people, and even the major mainstream media have also participated, taking advantage of this east wind to release reports to attract readers' attention.

All kinds of news about aliens bombarded in turn, as if the end of the world was really coming, and there was even an incident of looting of daily necessities in a certain prefecture in Japan.

Han Xuan, who is the driving force behind the scenes, will not tell others that this is building momentum for the movie "Independence Day".

The "Men in Black" that followed is being filmed, it is also an interstellar outland movie, and then "StarCraft", which is in preparation, will also start filming, this rumor is to arouse people's interest in this kind of movie, create topicality, small investment, quick results, and light a fire can set the prairie on fire, which is quite affordable......

At this moment, the LED display hanging in front of an old movie theater in Augusta Town clearly shows the date: "1998-1-9, 21:38".

The moonlight shone on the dirty snow on the side of the road, Han Xuan, his father, and Anya came out of the theater and passed by the "Independence Day" poster with a photo of Will Smith, which they had just watched.

The craze of "X-Men" has not faded, and another film in which Dimen Pictures has a stake is released soon, and it is busy making special effects while shooting, so the release speed is quite fast.

Compared with the famous "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" series, "Independence Day" is more distinctive, and it is a resistance to alien invaders from the perspective of the earth, which can arouse people's interest more, and many viewers are praising Will Smith's acting skills.

The only regret is probably that the screen is too old and does not show the picture perfectly, Han Xuanzheng said to his father: "Some time ago, I funded 8 million US dollars to a small company specializing in movie screen technology, and got 30% of the company's shares to develop high-definition movie screens, and some progress has been made."

This money is definitely not enough for research, and I should continue to invest in the future, and I will have the majority of the equity at that time, and if I can really develop a high-definition big screen, I will make a lot of money because of this investment. ”

"Evil capitalism, let a bunch of people work for you, and you can take most of the profits."

"Daddy, you can't say that.

Without these funds, even if they have ideas, they will not be able to develop real new technologies, so from another point of view, we capitalists are promoting scientific and technological progress.

There should be a return on investment, we are just mutually beneficial, there is never a shortage of people with ideas in the world, and some ideas can indeed make money, but there is a lack of people who invest in them, so as to realize the ideas, so there is angel investment. ”

Han Xuan shook his head and retorted, he spends money to invest in exchange for shares, there is nothing unreasonable about this, investing in good projects can make money, investing in poor projects will also lose money, and it is almost impossible to let people give money to sponsor research for nothing, even the results of research in university laboratories must be forced to give a part of the patent rights to the university.

Han Qianshan also said casually that one of his classmates had recently been taken away control of the company by others, but he was just moved by it and did not continue to investigate.

When they came to the door of the movie theater, two children about ten years old walked past them, and they talked about whether there were aliens in this world, one said yes, and the other said that his brother had told him that there were no aliens.

The two blushed and argued, and then remembered that there was also a "smart child from other people's families" in the mouth of parents here-Han Xuan, and immediately ran to him and asked this question.

Han Xuan was going to tell them that there were definitely alien creatures in the depths of the distant universe, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "Alas, I have grown up in the blink of an eye, and it seems that I have to tell you the truth......

This tricky appearance really frightened the two children in front of them, their eyes were round, and they looked eager for it.

Anya and Daddy are also very curious, and set their eyes on Han Xuan, the topic of aliens can always affect people's nerves.

I saw Han Xuan cough dryly, and said, "You know, in fact, you shouldn't be born."

Before 1985, Earth was locked in an eight-year interstellar defense war, with countless alien invaders coming from the distant planet XT9587 intent on plundering all the water on our planet, and humanity would die of thirst for it.

You were born after 1985, right, so I don't know how the Earth was besieged by aliens before 1985, when the end of the world came.

The battle of the defense of the earth and the moon, the guerrilla war on the surface, the counterattack of Venus, the great counterattack of Saturn, and the encirclement and suppression of Pluto, those years of blood and fire are still vivid, and sometimes I will be scared to wake up when I sleep at night......."

"And then, how did they go?"

"Because we humans have made great sacrifices, we have finally won peace and driven the aliens away.

However, the cost was heavy, and the United States could even build a spacecraft to fight in space, but after that war, our civilization technology regressed, and it was even difficult to enter the universe.

After the war, a confidentiality agreement was signed to prevent you from knowing this, and all information about the original was blocked.

Parents know, but they won't say a word, no matter how much you ask, they won't tell you, and they will even say that you are crazy, and if you don't believe it, you can try.

Now that you're grown up, I think you can tell this, don't tell anyone, or I'll be captured by the Interstellar Tribunal.

Therefore, I hope that you will not live up to the sacrifices of those 10 billion human beings, study hard, and remember the heavy responsibility of returning to the Age of Discovery, which is on you, like my father, to drive a spaceship and fight those alien spaceships......"

The poor and stupid two children, looking at Han Qianshan's eyes changed instantly.

"Uncle, you've ever piloted a spaceship!

Can you tell me how many aliens you killed at that time? How many alien spaceships have been knocked down? Cross? Twenty?

Even the governor came to you, and he should have killed a lot, right, so the cattle raised by your family are better than mine, and they definitely use high-tech technology before 1985! ”

"It's so hateful, my parents didn't tell me such an important thing, no wonder they didn't let me come out to watch the movie tonight, I must be afraid that I would know the truth!"

"Let's go home and ask them!"

"Hmmm! I really want to see what the spaceship and aliens look like, as long as I also write a non-disclosure agreement, my parents will definitely tell me......"

Looking at the backs of the two children who were anxious to go away, Father Han's face was extremely exciting, and he had a deeper understanding of his son's bragging skills, and his tone was helpless: "Today's children are too easy to deceive, what can I do after entering the society, I will help people make money if they are sold." ”

After finishing speaking, he found that Anya was asking Han Xuan in a serious whisper with a serious face, asking him if the newly developed holographic projection technology was the high-tech left behind.

Well, it seems that this stupid girl was also deceived by Han Xuan, and as soon as she finished asking, she was pinched by Han Xuan, and mercilessly mocked Anya and said: "Stupid, are you a ten-year-old child, do you believe this kind of thing......"
