My Age of Investment

over the Pacific Ocean.

Heavy rain, lightning and thunder.

A white Boeing plane flies through the dark clouds.

In the passenger plane, the crew members reminded them through the broadcast, in both Chinese and English, "In extreme weather, please fasten your seat belts and do not leave your seats".

There was a little commotion among the passengers, whispering to each other, complaining about the damn weather.

Many people opened the sun visor and looked at the world outside the plane through the porthole.

Lightning bursts in the clouds, thunder roars, a scene of destruction.

Suddenly, the feet of all the passengers sank, as if they were jumping off the stairs.

The plane is descending fast!

The timid passenger shouted, and the experience was too exciting, so it was a bit of a gaffe.

The elderly are still clasping their hands or making a cross on their chests.

This is the first time that many people have encountered this situation, which is several levels more terrifying than ordinary air turbulence.

Everyone was nervous, except for a guy in jeans and a white shirt.

The young man has the popular medium-length hair these days, his eyes are closed, his arms are on his chest, he is lying on his back on the seat, he is sleeping, and he is snoring slightly.

The most calm person on the entire plane is him!

The captain checked the instrument and found that everything was showing normal, and there was no alarm.

This is flying well, why did it suddenly drop weightlessly?

It was the first time he had met him in the twenty years he had been in the business.

After thinking about it, it can only be attributed to the unstable airflow.

He vaguely felt that something was pressing down just now.

But soon he smiled again, dispelling this unrealistic thought in his mind.

Drive the plane up smoothly.

The clouds in the distance finally passed through the thunderstorm area through a trace of golden light.

Cabin here.

The bushy-haired guy twitched, as if he had been electrocuted.

The passengers on the left and right in the vicinity were still in shock, and they all noticed this scene at the moment, and looked at them with curiosity, only thinking that this guy slept too well and moved unconsciously in his dream.

The plane finally stabilized, blue sky and white clouds outside the porthole.

Xia Jingxing (hang) opened his eyes and looked around, stunned.

"where is this?"

Xia Jingqing couldn't help shouting out, didn't he lose his body because of entrepreneurship and lay in the hospital for rescue?

Many passengers all around laughed out loud, this is because he slept too dead, haven't he recovered from his dream?

"It's on a plane, five hours to San Francisco."

A man in his thirties sitting beside Xia Jingxing reminded with a smile.

Xia Jingxing did not look back for a long time.

San Francisco? what the hell?

It's too messy, it has to be cleaned up.

Touching his forehead, he began to recall hard.

Aren't you lying in a hospital bed?

With an oxygen tube plugged in, there are several crying ex-girlfriends next to him.

He didn't expect these people to come to see him, so he smiled.

This smile is bad.

There was a sudden pain in my head, and then it was dark.

I could hear a lot of crying in my ears...

Memories come to an abrupt end here.

Xia Jingxing frowned and looked around.

If nothing else, he should have hung up.

Why are you on the plane again?

Did you send me abroad for medical treatment?

No, the doctor has already issued a critical illness notice.

If everything goes according to the script, it is estimated that Suona should be arranged by now.

Xia Jingxing touched his head, but he didn't understand it for a while.

Why doesn't it feel right?

Didn't you shave your hair?

What's with the hair?

Xia Jingxing questioned three times,

He covered the top of his head with his palm, and his bangs were pressed down to cover his eyes.

I quickly took out my trouser pocket, ready to take out my Huawei P40, look in the mirror, and figure out what's going on.

But it was not Huawei that came out.

But a small mobile phone, dark blue, or the kind of candy bar.

Small in size, much smaller than mainstream smartphones.

Xia Jingxing recognized this antique at a glance...

Really antique, Nokia 8250, which was launched in 2001.

Seeing this artifact that could smash walnuts brought back many memories of Xia Jingxing.

If I remember correctly, this is what my parents rewarded me after I received the university admission letter.

In 2002, this huge sum was two or three months' wages for the average person.

This mobile phone is also very fashionable. It was a rare "blue screen" at the time, and it was very attractive. It accompanied him through his undergraduate career for four years, and it was not until he was studying for a master's degree that he changed his "new wife".

Xia Jingxing thought about it, long hair, airplane, Nokia mobile phone...

It seems to understand a little, but I still can't confirm my conjecture.

Grab your Nokia now.

The phone doesn't have a front-facing camera, but it still has a calendar.

Look at the time, July 20, 2002.

There is still a month until the university starts.

That's right.

Xia Jingxing was very sure that he wanted to return to the age of eighteen as in the movie.

On the hospital bed at that time, when he was dying, he thought of the back of the young man who had set foot in a foreign country.

Obsession is too deep!

He thought at the time that if the years could come back, he would definitely live up to the times and become a real trendsetter.

Always remember, there will be reverberations.

And then really go back to the age of eighteen.

Thinking about this, he was a little excited.

In the closed-book exam in my last life, except for the first time, I joined Groupon (Gaopeng.com) and became the core entrepreneurial backbone of its top ten job accounts. The rest of the bets failed each time.

The first pot of gold, $5 million, was squandered.

Thirty-six years old, alone.

By 2020, if you are unemployed, you will be old.

When he was lying on the hospital bed, the most difficult thing to let go of was his career line.

Since 2010, in ten years, it has carried out three startups.

From group buying to Internet finance, to virtual currency, each time it is more powerful.

The people around him, including relatives and friends, persuaded him to stop.

But he is not reconciled. In 2020, he is still preparing to start a business for the fourth time in his life, trying to make a comeback.

It wasn't until he was in the hospital that he really stopped tossing and resumed his life.

"Brother, did you study in the United States?"

The man who was sitting next to Xia Jingxing was the one who reminded him just now that he had "5 hours to go to San Francisco".

Xia Jingxing turned his head and looked at this enthusiastic elder brother. He had a big head and a thick neck, and looked a bit fierce, but his speech was inversely proportional to his appearance, and he was actually quite gentle.

Xia Jingxing did not judge people by their appearance, but nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, studying abroad."

The fat brother praised his greatness and asked with a smile, "Which university is it?"

"Stanford University."

The fat brother also doesn't know how valuable this university is, but the name should not be too bad.

He smiled and flattered: "It's amazing, my brother has a bright future."

Xia Jingxing smiled and did not answer.

As human beings, they have long ceased to be complacent for a little compliment.

What about prestigious schools? Cultivation still depends on the individual.

In the new century, sea turtles are becoming less and less valuable, and there is a lack of freshwater aquaculture. Many people have returned to China and some are not well adapted to the environment.

"Brother, are you on a business trip to the United States?"

Xia Jingxing had almost accepted the fact of rebirth, and panicked when he was idle on the plane, so he just chatted with this fat brother.

The fat brother shook his head sharply, "No, what's the matter? I don't even drink a lot of foreign ink, and I can't speak English well.

I just heard from my relatives that the money in the United States is easy to earn, and I plan to come here to work. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, guessing that this fat guy is mostly from Fujian Province, where there is a strong business atmosphere, and he is willing to support relatives.

Most of this buddy belongs to the "later rich" in "the rich first drives the rich later".

Xia Jingxing couldn't remember whether this fat man was sitting next to him when he flew to San Francisco in his last life.

It's been too long to remember.

At that time, the whole person was more bookish, which is commonly known as "nerd", and he didn't like to talk much.

When I got on the plane, I either went to sleep or read books on the Internet.

It is estimated that the fat brother may have also talked to him, but most of the time he just asked and answered.

Each other is in a hurry.

At this moment, maybe he has just been reborn, and he hasn't digested this matter very much, and he is a little excited, so he has a conversation with Fat Brother.

While talking, I was also confirming whether there was any deviation from the world I knew.

"Brother Qiu, do you usually watch football?"

Through the conversation, it was learned that the fat brother was called Qiu Zhiyi, a native of Fujian Province, and a chef, so Xia Jingxing politely called him Brother Qiu.

Hearing "Brother Qiu", Qiu Zhiyi was very happy, his fat face was full of smiles, and his small eyes were narrowed into slits.

He has no culture, no money, and low social status.

Xia Jingxing, an international student from a prestigious university, called him brother, and he immediately felt that this little brother would be very good at it, unlike some nerds or irritable young people, who would float up after eating a few dishes.

"Look, how can a man not watch football."

After speaking, Qiu Zhiyi sighed again, "Have you seen the World Cup? The national football team played so badly this time that they were dunked 9 goals in 3 games.

It was the first time I entered the World Cup, and I didn't say I had to advance. Anyway, did you score a goal? Achieve zero breakthrough in the Chinese Football World Cup.

Hey, we can only wait until 2006. I hope that the next World Cup can compete and cultivate more new players. "

Hearing this, Xia Jingxing laughed.

That's right, it's still the familiar national football team and the familiar world.

Then, he and Qiu Zhiyi discussed the players.

Jiang Jin, Xu Yunlong, Li Weifeng, Fan Zhiyi, Wu Chengying, Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Li Xiaopeng, Ma Mingyu, Yang Chen... These players commented one by one.

Through these, he was once again sure that he really had a new life.

I didn't know which immortal to thank, so I had to worship the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Yahweh... all the great gods from the East and the West.

In this life, he must live a wonderful life.

By the way, as well as the body, we must strengthen exercise, stay up late, and soak more wolfberry...

Exercise for an hour a day and live a healthy life for a hundred years.

"Brother, you have graduated from university, are you planning to stay in the United States or return to China?"

After chatting for a while, Qiu Zhiyi took the initiative to ask about Xia Jingxing's future plans.

"Definitely go home!"

Xia Jingxing answered without hesitation, is his brain funny? Stay in the U.S. as a second-class citizen?

Oh, no, the second class is the old black, and the Chinese are second to the Mexicans, and they are the fourth.

Qiu Zhiyi was stunned, but he didn't think Xia Jingxing's choice surprised him.

After all, in his opinion, those who can take the initiative to return to China to build their hometown are all good turtles.

But Xia Jingxing's firm tone made him a little confused.

The material life abroad is so good, and the money is still in US dollars, so most people will struggle.

This little brother is young, but his patriotism is sincere.

Qiu Zhiyi was about to start his praise, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by a meticulous 30-year-old man in a suit and a three-seven haircut sitting next to him.

The other party glanced at Xia Jingxing and smiled lightly, "Young man, don't talk so much.

When you've lived in America for a while, you won't say things like that. "

Xia Jingxing cast a disgusted glance at this man dressed as an "elite", this kind of person does not need to think about it, he is definitely a well-known person.

For this kind of person, Xia Jingxing is simply too lazy to answer, the more you argue with him, the more enthusiastic he will be.

With this kung fu, it's not good to do something, why bother with stupid beep.

Taking the public knowledge as air, Xia Jingxing continued to chat with Fat Brother, "Brother Qiu, where is the restaurant of your relative's house? I'll visit you when I have time."

Qiu Zhiyi smiled, "Yes, it's in San Francisco Chinatown.

You are welcome anytime, and I invite you to dinner. "

"That's fine."

In fact, Xia Jingxing was just talking about it, the two of them met by chance on the plane, and they didn't even know it was the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon if they met again.

Whether it can be encountered again, that is the question.

However, this did not affect the two of them bragging, and Xia Jingxing also invited Brother Qiu to come to the school to play.

The two chatted happily, and the time passed quickly.

The plane landed smoothly at the San Francisco airport.
