Investment Life

The nosebleed healed quickly, and there were no follow-up problems such as concussion, but Chen Yuanming found out embarrassingly that something was wrong with him.

Maybe it's because the last relationship has passed for too long, maybe it's moved by the pure sunshine and warmth, or maybe it's just unconscious appreciation, Chen Yuanming finds that he can't treat Sun Lang as an ordinary childhood playmate, The boy with a snotty nose in his memory has now turned into a very handsome young man.

This subtle mentality change put him in a certain predicament, not because Sun Lang was bad, on the contrary, he was very good.His family, especially his strong and brave mother endowed him with many wonderful qualities, making his enthusiasm and sincerity infectious.In this way, it can be said that it just hit a certain desire in Chen Yuanming's heart, allowing him to relax and smile, and find the joy of life again.But at the same time, it was like a solid wall lying in front of him, making it difficult for him to move forward.

Sun Lang is a straight man.

He was just like any normal big boy his age, he liked sports, games, all kinds of new and interesting things, and pretty little girls.Emotional clumsiness and slowness can't hide his sexuality, which is obvious to people who are not in the same circle.

Such a man, in the gay circle, is just one sentence: keep a respectful distance.It’s not uncommon for people to like straight men, but the results are often not very good. The resistance of this world far exceeds their psychological presuppositions, and life will wipe out everything else, let the relationship fade, let the promise deteriorate, and eventually become a A ridiculous tragedy.

Now it's 1994. On the mainland, homosexuality is still classified as a mental illness, and the inheritance of the family is the eternal truth.Therefore, whether it is coming out of the closet or not getting married, the pressure is so great that it is unbearable. He has been in the closet for 6 years in his last life, and the only serious love has cost his company and his life.Now although I have enough wealth and the ability to make many people bow their heads, the love I can look forward to is still a luxury.

And in good conscience, Chen Yuanming didn't want Sun Lang to discover his small thoughts. His eyes were too clean and his thoughts were too straightforward. There was no need to be confused and uncomfortable with this kind of entanglement that didn't belong to him.

It's just that there is determination, but it is quite difficult to put it into action, and it is also because Sun Lang is a serious straight man.For straight men, hooking shoulders and backs, cuddling and cuddling, and even caring to the point of numbness are normal. They don't put their minds on it at all. These behaviors that seem too sticky to outsiders will all be classified as brothers. Love, buddy category of righteousness.But for Chen Yuanming, it turned into a kind of sweet torture.

The hand on the shoulder slipped to the chest and back?Often!

The hand hooked around the waist touched the ass?Tch, how rare.

Lean on your shoulder and squint for a while when you are sleepy in the car?Not to mention the shoulders, the thighs can rest on the pillow openly.

Not to mention the situation where people go home on weekends, face-to-face and cover the quilt for pure chatting...

Faced with such unscrupulous physical contact, Chen Yuanming let alone resisted, it is considered perseverance to maintain self-control.Just like any old man who has been empty for a long time, even if he is not in a relationship, the little thoughts of profiteering will inevitably appear.What's even more unfortunate is that now his mentality is mature enough, but his body is too young. Putting this sweet delicacy on his lips, just looking at it without licking it is already exhausting his self-control.

With all kinds of unspeakable worries, Chen Yuanming couldn't help restraining some things that were not easy to detect, while Sun Lang was a little overprotective towards him. He really regarded himself as his own brother, and began to avoid those sports that were prone to danger. Running sports has become a small gathering in the public computer room and library.

Because of the Haikou that he boasted about last time, Sun Lang really took Chen Yuanming to meet several programming masters in Beijing.Now the country is still dominated by the DOS system, and the operating interfaces of Windows and Macintosh have not yet penetrated into China. These masters are all DOS experts, and many of them have studied new trendy computer languages ​​​​such as C++.

Even the small game that Sun Lang got did not escape the hands of everyone. It took only half a month. Similar imitations have been spread on the local area network. As far as the madman is concerned, there is no technical problem.

For software, Chen Yuanming is a real layman, but it doesn't mean he can't see the creative talent of these people. Games are only a small aspect, such as browsers, input methods, instant messaging software in LAN, and even some offensive Trojans and defensive software. Anti-virus software has already taken shape. In the world of binary and pure logic, these young computer geniuses in China are not inferior to foreigners. This is still Beijing Institute of Technology. If you change to Tsinghua University, Peking University or a specialized computer research institute, the level is only [-]%. will be higher.

Such excellent creativity has drawn Chen Yuanming's attention to a certain extent. Today, in the United States, Golden Stone has invested more than 6 projects. The biggest achievement in the past six months may be nVIdIa, a company established in 1993. It is still a small seedling that needs the first round of financing, but any business that assembles computers will know the name of nVIdIa graphics card. At the same time, graphics processing, sound performance, and 3D modeling have also become the focus of Chen Yuanming's attention. These are undoubtedly They are the most important things to change the computer and game industry.

But turning his attention back to China, Chen Yuanming is a little uncertain. Are these outstanding software designers lacking only genuine support and government maintenance?Why was China's software industry so easily destroyed, without even leaving much salary...

The doubts didn't last long, and when the next weekend came, Sun Lang finally got the sponsorship funds from his mother, and happily dragged Chen Yuanming to Zhongguancun Electronics Street.

Walking on Zhongguancun Street again, this time it is not for the vision and layout, but for careful observation and thinking. The blind spots that were once left behind began to be revealed in front of Chen Yuanming.This place will indeed become China's Silicon Valley, but the direction of development is completely different from the real Silicon Valley.On the one hand, it is a thriving software industry that has not yet been destroyed by piracy; on the other hand, it has become a distribution center for computer spare parts.The most profitable is not engaged in research and development, but small vendors. Low-quality imitation products and sales without technical content are the mainstream in Zhongguancun.

Where is the hardware development?Computers are not only complete machines, but also corresponding CPUs, motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, etc., but the core hardware of Chinese computers is often in the hands of large American companies. Can CPUs be separated from Intel1 and amd?How many graphics chips come from nVIdIa?What about memory?What about the hard drive?It is said that it is a build-up machine, and it is said that it is self-developed, but the core is still determined by these upstream manufacturers.In Silicon Valley, the life of software vendors may be equally good, but those hardware vendors with strength and capability are the pillars of their survival.

For Zhongguancun, which emphasizes civility over martial arts, should he also increase investment in hardware?

On one side, Sun Lang was excitedly choosing his new computer, while on the other side, Chen Yuanming couldn't help but get distracted.When a man is interested in things like shopping, he is no less interested than a woman. He chatted with Sun Lang without saying a word, and the two of them almost moved to the corner of the street, and a building that was about to be completed appeared in front of them.

Chen Yuanming narrowed his eyes slightly, Hailong Building has not yet started construction, Electronics World and Universal Market are the main stores in Zhongguancun.But the new building not far away is completely different. It is not too tall and has a standardized structure. It looks like a pure office building. According to sales, this building will become the first company in Zhongguancun to lay broadband.

With such an excellent location and reasonable hardware configuration, Chen Yuanming was really moved. This would be a good choice for the touchstone.After watching from a distance for a while, he turned his head and said to Sun Lang, who was chatting with the boss behind him, "Second brother, I'll go over there first and take a look, you pick it slowly, and I'll come back to you later."

Sun Lang glanced at the opposite side in surprise, "Isn't that building still unfinished?" Suddenly reacting, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Is it too boring to pick a computer, er, I'll be fine soon , you go over there to play first, and I will find you later!"

Chen Yuanming laughed, and couldn't help rubbing his hair, "No rush, take your time."

"Go, don't make trouble here."

Smiling and saying goodbye to Sun Lang, Chen Yuanming walked towards the building. The sales department is actually located a street away, but sometimes actual observation and listening to the salesman's eloquence are completely different things.The building has just been topped out and is still undergoing interior and exterior renovations. The public sale should be delayed after a year.Although the current concept of pre-sale of commercial housing is not yet perfect, this kind of tight real estate will not wait until it is completely completed before starting to sell the house.

Walking into the construction site, Chen Yuanming found a small foreman and explained his purpose to him.The other party was obviously taken aback. It's not that there are no people who come to see the house, but don't they usually come with the people from the sales department?After looking Chen Yuanming up and down for a while, he finally said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, but the boss of our company is here today, why don't I ask him?"

"Well, that's fine." Of course, Chen Yuanming didn't say anything else, and patiently stood by the construction site and waited.

A few minutes later, I saw the little foreman running back all the way, "The boss said that there is no problem, but he is a bit busy now, so it is not convenient to entertain, let me take you up for a visit first."

Chen Yuanming came to see the real estate seriously, and he didn't care who was entertaining him. He nodded and followed the other party into the building.With the boss's instructions, the foreman was obviously much more enthusiastic, and he knew everything about the guests' inquiries.This building has only 12 floors, and the elevator has been installed, so it is very fast to walk around.The layout of the room is spacious and bright, and the choice of direction is very good. What's more rare is that the difference between office buildings and residential buildings has been considered. to concealed phone and computer jacks in the wall.

This design is obviously in line with international standards. For China, which has not yet popularized the Internet, the trendy design is a bit too much.Chen Yuanming bent down and touched the network cable interface, "Are you sure you can connect to the network next year?"

"Of course!" The foreman obviously knows this very well. "The wiring is all from the optical cable research institute. It is said that I have also greeted the General Administration of Telecommunications. It is directly branched from the main road, and it is a ddn dedicated line."

Chen Yuanming was surprised by the answer that it was a private line to go online. It seemed that this builder had a lot of energy and a broad vision, so he was an ideal partner.After thinking for a while, Chen Yuanming stood up and gently patted off the floating ash on his hands.

"Where is your boss, can you introduce me?"

Squatting on the construction site outside with several technicians, Xiao Junyi listened carefully to each other's opinions.Network cabling is still relatively new in China now, and there are many problems to be overcome. Even if high-quality optical cables are introduced, other large and small problems are enough to cause headaches.Moreover, technology is not his strong point. It took him a lot of effort to understand these things thoroughly. Now that the completion of the project is imminent, he cannot afford to fall short.

"Mr. Xiao, that guest wants to meet you..."

Just as he was talking, the foreman approached him again. Xiao Junyi frowned slightly, but he did not refuse.He has put too much effort into this building, and of course he wants to find some suitable owners for it. Since the buyer wants to meet, let's meet.

Quickly following the foreman to the front yard, Xiao Junyi switched the expression on his face back to the "hospitality" mode. He has dealt with too many high-ranking officials and businessmen in the past two years, and his temper in the big courtyard has long been worn out. Seven seven eight eight, I am also used to the communication style of talking to people and talking nonsense when I see people, I just hope that this client is not as bad as imagined...

"it's him!"

The foreman pointed forward, and Xiao Junyi looked over there intently, and saw a figure standing in front of the building with his back turned to him. He was not short, and his figure was quite suitable. Since he was wearing casual clothes, his age could not be guessed.Xiao Junyi cleared his throat and took a step forward, "Hi, I am the boss of Junteng Company..."

The figure froze slightly and turned around slowly.Seeing the appearance of the person who came, Xiao Junyi also froze on the spot.

How could it be him!

For a while, both of them fell silent, and there was an embarrassing blankness in the scene.It has been a year and a half since the last time they met. Except for a few calls, they have no time or opportunity to meet and chat.However, a year has passed, and everything in my memory has unknowingly changed its appearance.

Xiao Junyi looked at the boy in front of him in a daze... No, it should be said that he was a man.He has changed too much. The boy who was a head shorter than himself, thin and young but always pretending to be old has completely disappeared.Standing in front of me was a real man, with tall legs and long legs, his line of sight was almost at the same level as his. No one will treat him as a child anymore.

Looking at Xiao Junyi's attire, Chen Yuanming was also a little surprised. The young man who always smiled casually seemed to be a different person. The dusty overalls replaced the well-matched clothes. If you don't know his life experience, you can probably directly regard him as a front-line worker who relies on technology to make a living.

It was only a moment to look at each other, and finally Chen Yuanming couldn't help but chuckled, "This is your company? Why did you sneak back to Beijing? I thought you were in charge of Anxin's business with Brother Xiao."

Xiao Junyi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. This was not the way he expected to meet, at least not when he was wearing a broken hard hat and a set of dirty work clothes.Quickly picking off the hard shell on his head, Xiao Junyi straightened his hair, only to realize that there was nothing to straighten his cut head, and the smile on his face became even more unnatural.

"Well, I went around Hebei a while ago, and I heard from my uncle that you also came to Beijing, and I was just looking for you some time..."

"Who knows that I blocked the door?" Chen Yuanming smiled, "I really didn't expect that this building was built by you. You are very far-sighted. How about giving me a floor?"

"First floor?" Xiao Junyi finally laughed, "Are you going to move Feiyan's headquarters here? Why is it so big?"

"Of course it is to open up a new source of income in Zhongguancun." Chen Yuanming has no grievances. Not many people know about his company in the United States, but the Xiao family is a reliable enough partner, and now he meets Xiao Junyi's real estate , where there is the meaning of concealment.

"What? You're going to develop in Zhongguancun recently? I thought you were here to go to school..." Xiao Junyi's eyes lit up, and he asked.

"How can I patronize charging..." Chen Yuanming shook his head with a smile.

At this time, a call came from behind, Chen Yuanming paused slightly, turned his head and waved behind him.When he turned his face away, he suddenly said something to Xiao Junyi in a low voice, "By the way, please help keep my wealth a secret for now."

Confidential?Xiao Junyi was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he saw a figure running from afar, stopped firmly behind Chen Yuanming, and naturally hooked his shoulder.

"Doudou, I have chosen! Let's go and buy that one!"

Peas?Who is this man?Looking at the kid who was embracing Chen Yuanming as if no one else was around, Xiao Junyi raised his brows, "Yuanming, is he...?"

"Fa Xiao." Chen Yuanming didn't avoid the bear hug, but just reached out and patted the other person's waist naturally.

Attracted by this question and answer, Sun Lang raised his head curiously, "Do you know this big brother?"

"Yes." Chen Yuanming paused, then smiled calmly, "It's a fateful friendship. His name is Xiao Junyi, and he happens to work here."

"Ah." Hearing the word 'Guo Ming', Sun Lang didn't think too much, and stretched out his hand politely, "Hello Brother Xiao, my name is Sun Lang, and it's Dou...cough~ Yuanming's second brother, who grew up grew up together."

Is it just a life... There are mixed emotions in my heart, but the expression on Xiao Junyi's face has not changed at all. He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake with the other party, "This is the first time I heard Yuanming talk about Faxiao..."

"That's natural." Sun Lang grinned, "He's just my brother, isn't he, Doudou?"

"My name." Chen Yuanming smiled helplessly, but did not refute.

Xiao Junyi withdrew his hand indifferently, and suddenly threw the helmet into the arms of the confused foreman beside him. "Since we are all acquaintances and finally met, can we find a place to sit down and chat?"

Chen Yuanming frowned slightly, the place Xiao Junyi often goes to is not suitable for taking Sun Lang there.But the big boy next to him didn't mind, and he simply agreed, "Okay, it's getting late, or we can come to move the computer tomorrow, I have money with me, treat you to dinner!"

"Hehe." Xiao Junyi laughed lukewarmly, "How can I? After all, I am also Yuanming's senior, so of course I should invite you."

Seeing Chen Yuanming opening his mouth to say something, Xiao Junyi changed his subject, "And I'm familiar with the National People's Congress, and I know a lot of delicious restaurants, why don't you leave it to me?"

Seeing Sun Lang's eager expression, Chen Yuanming didn't talk nonsense, and simply agreed, "I will invite you back next time I have a chance."

The deep meaning in the words is self-evident, Xiao Junyi just narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and replied in a low voice, "That would be great."

With a goal, the three of them walked towards the National People's Congress together.The sun is dark early in winter, but the street of Electronics is still full of people. I don’t know if there is a singing sound from that shop. It seems to be Japanese, and the drums are brisk and with a touch of sadness.

Servant

君を谁れにも渡さなぃ

jun no tame ni tsuba sa ni na ゐ

君を守りづけゐ

ゃゎらかく君をつつむぁの风になゐ

The three of them didn't notice the singing, and disappeared side by side at the end of the street.
