Society owes me a brother

Because of the arrival of several professors, the weekend party of the campus network suddenly became full of academic atmosphere.The poolside discussion about the global economic environment continued well into the evening.The collision of thinking rubbed out sparks of inspiration. As time went by, the content of the discussion became more and more intense and profound. Several professors extended from the vicissitudes of the international crude oil market to the global economic model, and then extended to The impact of war and political formations on the global economy...

The Locke brothers and sisters who rushed over immediately after finishing their housework did not expect to see such a serious academic scene after they opened the door.The fresh, hot and hormone-filled pool party in the fantasy suddenly turned into an open economics class attended by professors from Stanford University and Wharton Business School.The strong gap made the two brothers and sisters rub their eyes in disbelief, and it took a while to come back to their senses. They could only tiptoe to sit behind the crowd—fortunately, there were still grilled skewers of vegetables and fruits on the scene. Salad, vegetable salad and cold beer with ice, temporarily comforted the hungry brother and sister.

Seeing that it was getting late and the faces of several professors were obviously tired, Lu Chi forcibly interrupted the discussion and invited everyone to have dinner.Several professors were still full of ideas, and Professor Adams even suggested in a tone of emotion: "This is really a good topic. I think we can move this discussion to the public class of Wharton Business School."

The faces of several Stanford professors turned dark, and Professor George Walker said angrily: "You don't need to worry about this, Stanford will definitely arrange it as soon as possible."

Professor Adams pouted regretfully, and looked at Lu Chi with admiration.If it is said that the previous approach of throwing an olive branch to Lu Chi was just because the University of Pennsylvania cherished its feathers and took into account its reputation, and Wharton Business School developed a heart of love for talents, then after this academic discussion, Professor Adams treated Lu differently, and said: Think of Lu Chi as your like-minded academic partner.Professor Adams enjoyed the sparks of inspiration that popped up in his mind when discussing economy and finance with Lu Chi. The academic discussion between rivals was like a hot summer day. Hearty, cold and refreshing, it is simply a supreme enjoyment.

It's a pity that there are not many such opportunities. Firstly, Professor Adams's schedule is very tight. Secondly, Lu Chi is not a student who can be called at any time. In addition, the geographical distance between Philadelphia and California does not allow everyone to get together anytime and anywhere. Study academics together... So if Lu Chi can transfer to Wharton Business School to study, then all the problems will be solved.

A group of Stanford professors: Hehe, what a beautiful idea!

In any case, that night, Professor Adams and his assistant, who had no sense of presence other than eating and eating, left with regret and satisfaction.

After seeing Professor Adams leave, the Stanford professors who had been guarding against death finally remembered the business—inviting Lu Chi to give a speech at the beginning of the next semester, and finalizing the identity of Lu Chi as a visiting professor, as well as in the course of "Finance and Mathematical Theory". The class time of the public class.

Lu Chi has no objection to this—in any case, these arrangements will not consume too much time and energy for him, and to a certain extent, it will even facilitate him to establish his own personal connections and academic authority at Stanford University, so as to provide future talents for the company. Hiring lays the groundwork.All kinds of benefits are in front of him, and Lu Chi really can't think of any reason why he has to refuse.

After seeing that Lu Chi agreed to the important task arranged by the school without hesitation, a group of Stanford professors once again confirmed Lu Chi's attitude towards Stanford, and that Lu Chi was not bewitched by the treacherous Wharton School of Business, and they all agreed. Very pleased to leave.

The swimming pool party on the campus network ended inexplicably. Everyone went back to their respective homes. Yue Bin also got his wish and returned to his little home with Lu Chi. ——Because Zhang Yang and Locke brothers and sisters came back with them.

Yue Bin stared bitterly at the few light bulbs that were "igniting without knowing it" sitting in front of the sofa, eating fruit salad and discussing TV programs, the resentment in his heart almost turned into substance.

Matthew Locke is still chattering and praising Lu Chi's operation in the international crude oil market, which is simply convincing.Lu Chi smiled slightly, and said very modestly: "Actually, it's nothing. It was written in China's military books thousands of years ago, 'The powerful will control power because of profit'."

Although yearning for Chinese culture, she speaks Chinese very fluently.But Matthew Locke's ancient prose literacy has not yet reached the point where he is fluent in listening and speaking.Hearing Lu Chi's words, he asked in a particularly confused manner, "Power? What power?"

Immediately afterwards, Matthew Locke suddenly realized: "I understand. You mean that because you stood in that position, you can make a clear judgment, right?"

Lu Chi: "..."

After patiently explaining it in English, Matthew Locke suddenly realized: "So that's the case. I have also read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, but it is in English. So that's what I said just now."

"It seems that my understanding of Chinese culture still needs to be deepened." Matthew Locke rambled about some gossip.

Yue Bin, who was standing beside Lu Chi, was becoming more and more impatient.Seeing the bright expression of "wanting to push people away" on the face of his partner, Matthew Locke pondered for a while, and then asked hesitantly: "Dear Lu, have you considered letting the campus network work in Nagoya?" Is it something about the listing of Starq?"

When Lu Chi heard this, he was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know why Matthew Locke suddenly thought of this question.

"It's actually not very sudden. Because in the first half of this year, the number of registered users of the campus network in China suddenly increased several times. By the end of June, the registered users of the campus network in Greater China had exceeded [-] million. Users in other regions have grown, and now the registered users of our campus network have reached [-] million."

And because the campus network has adopted real-name registration since its launch, which means that the [-] million users in the world are all real and effective real-time users. Such a huge user group has attracted the attention of the whole world.Therefore, starting from the summer vacation, the brand merchants who consulted the campus network for advertising space and business cooperation, as well as big data, broke through another peak.It's a pity that the campus network's operating model has always adhered to the "no pop-up advertisements" that Landing and Holding insisted on when it was founded, so the campus network can only regretfully reject the cooperation of higher-priced advertising spaces and big data consulting. As for those who live in the corresponding The cooperation of putting external links in the forum has been tested a lot - anyway, the purpose of these life forums is to introduce more useful products and resources to the majority of users.

Lu Chi is not interested in the advertising model of the campus network, he is just quite shocked that the registered users of the campus network in China have formed a geometric growth pattern in the second quarter: "What happened?"

"SARS! Also called atypical pneumonia. It is a very contagious acute pneumonia that may lead to sudden death." Yue Bin said: "It is said that the first case was discovered in Foshan, Guangdong Province in November last year. Since March this year, the disease has spread rapidly throughout China. Because the disease is very contagious, once a suspected case is found, a large area of ​​overall isolation and investigation will be carried out. Therefore, many colleges and universities in various provinces and cities in China Schools are closed one after another, and students are under centralized management. People are not advised to go to crowded places. In this context, everyone stays at home or the school cannot go out, and the Internet and TV have become their first choice to spend time. .”

When Yue Bin said this, he paused for a moment, and continued to add: "Because the campus network is a Chinese company. In April this year, when SARS cases broke out in China, the campus network joined forces with the Locke family to enrich the campus life of teachers and students. Fruit Company, Yue Group and Zhang Group donated a total of [-] computers and [-] Dongfang Modun handheld computers, as well as various disinfectants, masks and related medicines to major domestic universities. They also donated funds to support the domestic medical system , and professors from Stanford’s Department of Biology and Medicine set up a laboratory dedicated to overcoming SARS vaccines. In addition, in order to facilitate the lives of the majority of Chinese people, we also launched a takeaway website in advance.”

Therefore, in the past few months, the registered users, merchants and sales of Waimai.com and Dongfang Modun in China have also shown a blowout explosion.

Yue Bin said with emotion: "This is really for the people and for the people!"

Hearing this, Matthew and the others unanimously showed expressions of approval.

Lu Chi looked at Yue Bin with a weird face. He really didn't expect their husky to make such a big move when he was obsessed with futures and had no time to clone himself.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully - you must know that Yue Bin was an active member of the students in high school. He has a superior family background, a wide range of hobbies and a keen business sense.Now, when Lu Chi is busy with trading and has no time to clone (talk to him), he is devoting all his energy to work—although it is not good to say this, but there are times when the SARS outbreak in China occurs, and Yue Bin has already had a comparison before. With a complete market planning and operation plan, and now with a slight improvement in the situation in China, it is expected that the time, place and people will be able to seize the China market in one fell swoop and achieve the current achievements.

Matthew Locke said very happily: "After this battle, the Locke Group has also gained a sense of presence in China. Father is very happy."

Matthew Locke said that the old Mr. Locke was excited and broke out a sentence on the Internet.And the suggestion to let the campus network take advantage of the situation to go public was also what Mr. Locke said at that time.

"Because the number of registered users of Campus Network has soared, and as the founders of Campus Network, you and Yue have achieved great achievements in their respective fields. This is absolutely good news for Campus Network." Shangjiao.com has always had a good reputation and its development prospects are widely recognized by the industry. If it chooses to go public at this time, it can be said that the timing is very appropriate.

Several other shareholders of Campus Network also nodded in approval.

However, Lu Chi was silent for a long time, and suddenly picked up his mobile phone to call Lu's father, mother and younger brother Lu Heng who didn't know where he was filming.
