Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 372 The New Internet

Time passed very quickly, and before you knew it, Li Weidong and his family had been living in Hong Kong Island for almost a year. Shen Yueying went back once, but Li Chengwen never went back even once.

The weather in Hong Kong Island in December is excellent. The temperature is not low. A long-sleeved shirt is enough if you are in good shape. If you want some warmth, just add a thin jacket.

The keyboard warrior, who is good at finding problems, also found a solid example of why the south is richer than the north.

It is said that spending the winter in the Northeast requires two or three months’ salary, which is not even very generous!

Down jackets are much more expensive than long-sleeved ones. If you buy two of them, you will lose a month’s salary. You also have to pay for heating. After all, it’s a lot of expenses!

When spending the winter in the south, especially in places like Hainan and Hong Kong Island, a T-shirt that lasts all year round will be enough, but the money is not as valuable as an autumn coat in the north.

At this time, Li Weidong was sitting on a chair in the yard, crossing his legs and watching his son drive around the yard.

Ever since Li Qian learned to drive, he didn't let Li Weidong do anything. He could go wherever he wanted. It was very free and comfortable.

Li Weidong disliked the environment of Hong Kong Island more and more. He always felt that it was not as pristine as Qizhou. He listened to Cantonese that he didn't understand, but also mixed with English that he didn't know.

These elements seem to have been reminding him of the colonial history here, just like today's South Africa. Even if Dramain has been elected president and the discrimination system has been abolished, so what.

There are more than ten official languages, and the most commonly used one is English. On the contrary, fewer and fewer people know their own language, and even their culture has been lost. Is this still the same country?

Even after more than twenty years, the sense of identity is still insufficient. If you want to solve this problem, it is very simple, just start from the root of culture.

Let’s start with speaking, promote the official language, and take the Putonghua CET-4 test in college. If you fail the test, you won’t be allowed to graduate. In a few years, there will be no problem.

How can there be such messy things in later generations? Why don’t we have a sense of identity? It’s just because we are used to it.

Although Li Weidong hates the cultural environment and the somewhat arrogant attitude here, he enjoys the comfort brought by the natural environment here.

Upstairs, his wife was taking a nap with his little lover. The child had to lie next to his mother to fall asleep, no matter who else he was, he would cry if he couldn't smell the smell.

Li Weidong looked at his watch, sat up and went upstairs to wake them up. He had been asleep for almost two hours, but he couldn't continue sleeping, otherwise he would act like a monster again at night.

Although this kind of weather is a good time to sleep, neither cold nor hot, it is not good to sleep for too long.

Regardless of adults or children, energy is limited. If you don't release it here, you have to release it in another place, and you will become a monster at night.

The child can play with you with her eyes wide open. When she is put to sleep, the mother of the child cannot fall asleep again. At this time, it is also good to engage in some sports.

If you do this kind of exercise every day, the ground will be fine and it will definitely get better and better, but I'm afraid the cow will die.

It is good to have harmony between the piano and the se, but it must be done in moderation!

"You're awake. Xiaobao hasn't woken up yet. He can sleep so well and doesn't have to sleep at night!" Li Weidong went upstairs and opened the bedroom door, and saw Liu Jinhui looking at the computer with gusto!

To be precise, their baby girl has turned black and white upside down. She is very excited at night but sleeps all the time during the day!

Although he had to make up his mind to make things right every day, as soon as the child cried, Li Weidong's heart softened and he had to compromise.

"I have to cry when I wake up. I feel upset when I hear crying!" Liu Jinhui turned her head and glanced at Li Weidong, said in a low voice, and then continued to return to the computer interface.

This computer is equipped with the latest version of the browser launched by Netscape. Of course, the official version has not yet been launched, and Li Weidong has already used it first.

In addition to being an investor, Li Weidong also made many valuable suggestions when their beta version was launched.

Therefore, before the official version of the revised version was launched, Netscape sent a copy to Li Weidong and asked him to verify whether the modifications to the latest version of the browser were reasonable.

Li Weidong felt dissatisfied after testing it himself, but the current Internet speed can only do this. In this era when Internet access is a luxury, what else do you want for a bicycle?

But in general, Li Weidong has made an indelible contribution to the new Internet!

Li Weidong can't remember when the Netscape browser was launched in his previous life and what the effect was, but he can say with certainty that this is an epoch-making browser.

However, no matter how good it is, there is no future. Although Li Weidong feels it is a pity, he also knows that his arm cannot twist his thigh. Now that Microsoft is at its peak, how can a small browser shake its status?

Of course, because of this incident and the resulting monopoly incident, it looks very dangerous, but in fact it only looks like it and will not cause substantial damage.

He has recorded this in his notebook.

"Once Netscape goes public, get rid of it as soon as possible!"

He has already thought of the reasons. What they do is venture capital, and financing and listing is their exit mechanism. They just distinguish when to exit!

The exit after listing has no impact on the major shareholders. The real impact is on the retail investors who take over the business. Not to mention that they are not in China. Even in China, Li Weidong does not mind cutting leeks.

There are more and more A-share shareholders cashing out every year, and I don’t see any leeks who are unwilling to do so, and they are happy to do so.

"Let him sleep as long as he likes. He can sleep whenever he wants!" Li Weidong kissed the sleeping baby. He turned his head and continued to sleep, so he could only say helplessly.

He turned around and saw Liu Jinhui still staring at the computer desktop, so he asked, "What are you looking at, so seriously?"

"Oh, just looking at it, what's the use of this thing?" Liu Jinhui asked while flipping through the web page.

There are not many computers today, and even fewer can connect to the Internet, and not many people use the web. After all, there is not much information that can be obtained on the Internet.

If Netscape Browser hadn't added the website navigation function according to Li Weidong's advice and listed several commonly used database websites, it would have been difficult to open a correct web page.

It's normal for Liu Jinhui to have this question. When new things appear, they are always subject to various suspicions, and she really doesn't seem to find any unique role of the Internet.

After all, there is no such thing as asking Google for foreign affairs, Baidu for domestic affairs, Tianya for sexual relations, and Maopu for everything. We are not yet qualified to search online if we don’t understand.

"It has many uses. You will know later. He is simply a life mentor. By then, everyone will be an encyclopedia!" Li Weidong thought for a while and didn't know how to explain it to him.

The Internet is an all-encompassing thing. If you can’t think of it, it doesn’t exist. You can search for relevant content on the Internet with almost any keyword.

The number of Internet users now is too small, and the knowledge they contribute is too little. When there are hundreds of millions of Internet users, and billions of Internet users, each person's words will constitute a completely new world view.

Liu Jinhui did not ask further, closed the computer, stood up, picked up the thermos cup next to her, frowned and took a sip, her expression somewhat reluctant!

The thermos cup contains traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor to be soaked in water. Drinking it will help the child produce more food, and the quality will be better. Of course, the price is not cheap!

I don’t know if it was due to the caesarean section. After Li Rui was born, the food rations came late and were never enough. Sometimes he even had to feed some milk powder.

It was completely different from when I gave birth to Li Qian. At that time, although the container was not full, it was still enough to drink, and not a single bit of milk powder was used.

"It tastes so bad, why don't you stop drinking it?" Li Weidong looked at his wife's reluctant expression and said in a low voice.

Liu Jinhui glanced at Li Weidong and said nothing, but drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp.

He put down the thermos cup and then said, "It's easy for you to say that. When your daughter doesn't have enough to eat and cries from hunger, even though she doesn't say anything with her mouth, her eyes can't deceive anyone!"

"Hey, don't they all say that breastfeeding is good? If we have this condition, we can't let our daughter suffer!" Li Weidong's little thoughts were exposed, and he was not embarrassed and said with a smile.

"That's right, anyway, the daughter-in-law is not a kisser, but the daughter must be a kisser. If you just spoil her like this, if you get older, I'll see what you do!" Liu Jinhui shook her head and said.

Li Weidong is very kind to both his son and his daughter, but when comparing the two, we find that the attitudes of his daughter and his son are quite different. How could Li Qian receive so much care when he was a child?

"Nonsense, why is my daughter-in-law not a biological daughter? If she is not a real daughter-in-law, where is her biological daughter from? Are you really not going back this year?" Li Weidong did not dare to follow the topic and changed the topic.

They talked about this topic after the child was one month old. At that time, they thought they would wait until the child was young. Later, because reporters blocked the door, they talked about it again.

But in the blink of an eye, winter came, and Liu Jinhui began to hesitate again. What was the purpose of such a young child traveling thousands of miles to spend the winter in such a cold place?

"I'm not going back. I'll wait until spring next year. I gave birth early and couldn't get enough milk. Moreover, Dr. Meng said two days ago that children born by caesarean section are prone to pneumonia. You must pay attention to it and don't catch cold or cold!"

"The temperature here is more than ten degrees Celsius. I talked to Qiao Rui on the phone yesterday and she said that Qizhou has already reached minus five or six degrees Celsius. Even adults can't bear the temperature difference of twenty to thirty degrees, let alone a baby who is breastfeeding!"

"It's better not to mess around. It's early, so there's no rush at this moment. But I heard that your parents have been thinking about things at home these days. Do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Liu Jinhui naturally missed her parents and wanted to go back to see her, but for the sake of her children, she gave up. The doctor's instructions should be taken more seriously.

Think about it, if such a young child really catches the cold and gets pneumonia, it's not a big deal. If an adult gets pneumonia, he has to be put on a sling bottle for several days. If he doesn't get it, he may even lose his life.

"They mentioned it, why didn't I know?"

Li Weidong was a little confused, but he was relieved after thinking about it. In his previous life, he had a wife and children in Qizhou, but he still ran to his hometown during the Chinese New Year because his parents were close to his roots.

Li Weidong's grandparents and grandparents are all here, so Li Chengwen and Shen Yueying naturally want to go back.

Last year, they couldn't go back due to special circumstances. This year, there are no such special circumstances. Moreover, they also made a lot of money in Hong Kong Island, so they naturally want to go back.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone has the idea of ​​​​returning home in fine clothes. When they have money, they naturally want to let others know. Seeing the envious expressions of others is a kind of satisfaction.

"Besides your daughter and son, who else can you care about now?" Liu Jinhui rolled her eyes and said with a hint of ridicule.

Li Weidong recalled it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. During these days, he occasionally went to the company and went fishing.

Other than that, I just focus on my daughter and son, and I really don’t care much about other things!

Li Weidong touched his nose in embarrassment. This was his habit. Whenever he felt embarrassed or embarrassed, he would touch his nose involuntarily.

"You must be embarrassed too!" Liu Jinhui looked at this action and said with a slight smile.

Li Weidong had never paid much attention to these things before. Even after living two lifetimes, he didn't care much about his parents. He seemed like a bad boy who only knew how to ask for things but not how to repay them.

In his previous life, when he had no money at the beginning, he couldn't even take care of his own affairs, let alone his parents!

Even when I got rich later, I just gave my parents a sum of money when I went home, without thinking carefully about what made my parents uncomfortable.

Naturally, his parents will not tell him anything that worries him. Reporting good news or not reporting bad news is a two-way street. It seems that as long as they don't tell him, everything will be fine!

But when people eat whole grains, they will suffer from three disasters, including headaches and brain fever. When Li Weidong thought about it carefully, it seemed as if his parents had never been sick.

Liu Weidong thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt his body heat up. The more he felt that he had really failed his parents, and that he had lived to be fifty or sixty years old in two lifetimes in vain. He didn't even understand this.

If Liu Jinhui hadn't said something unconsciously today, he didn't know when he would have realized it. Li Huidong simply unbuttoned his shirt and exposed the old man's shirt underneath.

"It's not hot, what are you doing with your arms open, so you don't catch a cold?" Liu Jinhui asked in confusion as she looked at Li Weidong's movements.

"It's okay, I just feel a bit stuffy. Leave some cracks in the windows from now on and don't close them so tightly. The air won't be fresh!"

Naturally, Li Weidong couldn't admit the sweating caused by his guilty conscience, so he thought of an excuse when he saw the window.

"Isn't the child sleeping? She's afraid of the wind blowing in. When she wakes up and goes out to play, just open the window for some ventilation!" Liu Jinhui also looked at the window and said.

Although he said that, he still walked over and opened a gap, and through the thin screen on the window, he saw the scene in the yard. Shen Yueying was drying dried fish.

"Don't go fishing anymore. You won't be able to finish it. In the end, you have to let mom pickle it. It's as salty as eating salt!" Liu Jinhui said with a smile.

Through the window, Liu Weidong also saw Shen Yueying placing the diced fish on bamboo strips to dry.

Li Weidong is good at fishing. Sometimes he can catch several big fish weighing six or seven pounds in a morning, which of course cannot be compared with the fuel cost of a yacht.

But this is the feeling of fishing. How much money you spend is secondary. The sense of accomplishment is more comfortable than making hundreds of millions.

It would be a problem to handle too much fish after catching it. It was impossible to sell it, and it was impossible to eat it. Shen Yueying originally thought of pickling it according to the method in her hometown.

But that kind of pickling is not a long-term solution. If it is too salty, it cannot be eaten. If it is too bland, it cannot be kept for too long and the taste will change.

Later, Sister Ding gave Shen Yueying a method to cut the fish into pieces, then marinate it with salt, cooking wine, pepper, and aniseed, and put it on bamboo strips to dry in the shade.

This method not only tastes good, but also lasts a long time. Shen Yueying has made it twice and it tastes good, but she didn't learn the method well and added a little too much salt.

Liu Jinhui is currently breastfeeding and has long been accustomed to light tastes. Naturally, she cannot adapt to such heavy tastes.

"Then where is the salt? You haven't tasted anything other than salt. You haven't tasted the taste of the sun or the taste of time?" Li Weidong said with feigned disdain.
