Chapter 304 New World, 20th Year of Wanli
June 2019, 6, Father's Day.
Wang Chengguang did some morning exercises after getting up. When he ran past the front door of the Wang family villa, he saw the little physique boy opening the door with a bag. The boy was surprised to see him and said, "Dad, this is a Father's Day gift for you. This is a bottle of wine I bought with the money I earned from working part-time for a few days."
"Would you like to try it?"
Wang Chengguang was a little touched by the little guy and walked forward with a smile, "Good job, has your work been going well these days?"
He had heard from Xiao Yili that he thought working was easy and making money was not difficult, although money and wealth were just external things to him.
Yang Tao, Gu Jingjing and others have a net worth of tens of billions, and are regulars on the Forbes China Rich List every year. The bank interest on that money is not small.
You want to talk about investment? It's hard to say at this stage, after all, the world is disrupting and interfering strongly with Spark Group companies in all aspects.
Early in the morning, Wang Chengguang was in a good mood as he received a gift that his eldest son bought with the money he earned from working.
After Xiao Yishi handed him the gift, he said happily, "I made thousands of dollars the next day. I was delivering food with Brother Lei. When I went to a western restaurant to pick up food, I found that the ingredients and oil they used seemed to have problems. I pointed out on the spot that the boss's food was not good. At first, they wanted to kick me out."
"But there were a few kind uncles and aunties who spoke up for me. I also proved that their ingredients were indeed problematic. Not only did someone report it to the police, but an auntie also gave me more than 1,000 yuan to encourage me to do more good deeds like this."
Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "There are too many female businessmen in the world. It's a good thing that you can know more about them."
When he opened the bottle, he realized something was wrong before he drank it. He sighed again, "Look, this bottle is fake Moutai. It's not too bad, but it's just Erguotou or something like that. How much did you pay for it?"
The little physicist's eyes widened immediately. "Fake wine?! I bought it on Pinduoduo and spent 2600... I found that the courier had arrived at the station before, but I didn't wait for them to deliver the wine so I rode an electric bike to pick it up. I'm going to complain to them!"
The news of this fake Moutai really stimulated him!
This is what we are taught when we first enter society at a young age.
Wang Chengguang smiled and shook his head, "What can you do? But I'm very happy that you have this kind of thought. I'll post a Weibo to complain about Lao Huang."
Pindaodao was established as scheduled and has carved out a niche for itself on the e-commerce platform. Now it is the summer of 2019, and the number of annual active buyers on the platform has exceeded 4 million.
However, Wang Chengguang did not invest in this platform. His main focus has long been on improving black technology and impacting new fields. He is no longer in the traditional business war field. Pindaodao has also been listed on the stock market, with a current market value of more than 240 billion US dollars.
This big platform is heading towards a situation where tens of thousands of people cannot afford a mobile phone!
The next moment he quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and posted on Weibo. It had been a long time since his last update.
"@Pinduoduo, early in the morning on Father's Day, I received a gift of Moutai liquor from my son, which he bought with the money he earned from working part-time. It turned out to be a fake Erguotou liquor. Mr. Huang, please control the quality."
He knew that this Weibo post of his could probably affect the market value of Shen Pindaodao, and it would be a common occurrence for the company to suffer a bloody collapse or a halving. But what can one say? In business, you really can't just change the way you do business because you've burned money and suffered a lot of losses, and then rush all the way to a point where 60,000 people can't buy a single mobile phone.
That's not just a normal store bullying its customers.
After posting the Weibo, he grabbed the bottle and took a sip, then said with a smile, "Although it's a fake Erguotou, it's not fake. At least it's harmless to the body. You just wasted a little money on this gift."
"Go back and eat quickly."
Xiaoli thought about it, nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll go out for a few more days and buy a new bottle of genuine goods. This time I definitely won't go online. But the price difference between the online platform and the physical store is too big. Is this all hype?"
Wang Chengguang was even happier. It was a good thing that he could understand the operation mode of publicity and hype. Then he praised Xiao Lixue a few more times, put away the wine bottle and put it at the door and continued exercising.
And the Internet world, just as he expected, was going crazy with joy. People came to eat the melon in an endless stream, with each generation replacing the previous one. Netizens were really laughing like crazy to be able to eat the first melon on Father's Day from him, the world's richest man.
The big guys all came out at the following time, especially Adong. Adong dissed Mr. Huang as if he had mastered the mushroom weapon.
The market value of Pindaodao is really... Well, today is Father's Day weekend and the U.S. stock market is closed.
But the capital that wants to short has gathered.
This certainly won't affect Pindaodao. To be honest, by posting this status, he is actually announcing to the world in disguise that his eldest son is using Pindaodao to shop, which is also another form of publicity and promotion for Pindaodao.
The market value will definitely fall sharply if it starts to fall tomorrow. As long as the business operates normally and crisis public relations are managed, it can be pulled back up in the future. The inertia created by hundreds of millions of active users will not be interrupted all at once.
This is when you are fighting with all your might and are flying high in the sky. Give him a heavy blow to calm him down. Don't float too high and walk slowly.
…………
July 7, great heat.
On the 33rd floor of Xugou Building in Shengshi Jiangnan Community, Shanghai, Wang Chengguang was wearing the Iron Man 2 battle suit, holding the external handle of a mobile warehouse in his left hand, and the same with his right hand.
After learning two sacrificial-level foreign languages, he planned to try to open a new world. He first learned that a new dimension could be opened in June last year, and he has been preparing for it until now, so he can really give it a try.
When he sacrificed his French skills through his mind communication system... he soon felt a mysterious force causing him to lose something. In a few breaths, he and the two large storage centers disappeared together.
New world.
When Wang Chengguang steadied himself, he found himself in a desolate mountain. It was dark and raining heavily. Even so, there was an inexplicable active atmosphere in the air, which made his body feel freer...
Even though he was separated by the oxygen circulation system of Iron Man's suit, the air in the wild was of such high quality that he felt as if every cell in his body was cheering and wanting to breathe in more fresh air.
Great supplement!
It may even be more nutritious than some medicinal foods!
Wang Chengguang was shocked.
Is this a higher world? A higher plane? Life instincts don't lie.
After he let go of the two large storage centers, he activated his battle suit and easily flew several hundred meters up. He felt a little dizzy, not because of other things, but because there were mountains and waters under his feet, and there was almost no trace of artificial or human survival.
Of course, that's only almost the case. The occasional roads between the mountains and rivers, including the remains of some broken wooden boats by the rivers... all prove that this is a world with humans.
At least there are intelligent life groups. Wang Chengguang landed again, looked around and found a high ground. He also made sure that there should not be a landslide. Then he opened a large warehouse, took off his steel armor and changed into rainproof clothes, and even changed into ancient costumes.
When I looked out before, whether it was the artificial roads or the wreckage of wooden ships, they all told me that this should be an era before modern times.
Artificial intelligence Xiaohuo has tried to confirm that there are no traces of various network infrastructures here. Not to mention Xiaohuo's own attempts to perceive and search, and to invasively connect to the Internet, various night vision instruments that are many times more advanced than ordinary telescopes have been used to shoot and search within a radius of dozens of kilometers, but no wires or anything like that have been seen.
He found a platform on the hillside, set up a waterproof tent, waterproof carpet and various cooking utensils and pots on it, then jumped more than ten meters, relying purely on his own physical fitness and the techniques of exerting force, oblique force, and borrowing force brought by the entry-level Tai Chi, and climbed walls and climbed walls like Spider-Man, and arrived at the bank of a large river in the mountains.
Soon, after catching several big fish, Wang Chengguang returned to the waterproof tent, lit the lantern inside the tent, and started cooking.
In this new world, just a few breaths of air can make all the cells in your body boil and cheer. The catch should be good too, at least there will be some substances that are not available in the struggle story plane.
As for turning on the lights?
With the abnormal degree of Wang Chengguang's five senses, without turning on the lights, even if it is a rainy night without stars, he can still see things as if it were daytime.
The purpose of turning on the lights is to... attract the natives of the New World to come and surrender, even if it only attracts some wild beasts, so as to save the trouble of actively hunting them.
The lantern he turned on was not only electric lighting, but also very bright. It was like a small beacon on a rainy night.
As long as there are ships passing by on the big river ahead, the abnormality of this brilliant lantern can be discovered from several kilometers away. Whether there is anything in other mountains and forests, it will also be attracted by the light.
After a while, Wang Chengguang was enjoying the delicious fish when the unmanned armor controlled by Spark Elf 4.0 flew back from a distance. "Dad, I flew hundreds of kilometers and still didn't find any traces of modern civilization, but I found a lot of old-time farming villages or villagers in the mountains."
As he spoke, he had already activated the 3D projection, playing the images of the village and villagers in the empty space on a rainy night.
Wang Chengguang's eyebrows jumped when he saw it. It looked like a Miao tribe...
After playing these, Xiaohuo continued, "Five kilometers upstream, there are wooden boats sailing downstream. They have also seen the lights here. Someone is speaking the ancient Miao language with a more retro syllable... After comparing with the database, it is confirmed that it should be a southwestern dialect several hundred years ago in the 21s of the 20st century."
Wang Chengguang smiled, "Then let them fall into the trap themselves."
If the new world is just a world of martial arts and magic from a few hundred years ago, it would be extremely profitable for Wang Chengguang and a world he could sweep across. But if there are gods and monsters, it would be hard to say.
We still have to see what kind of world it is!
…………
After a while, Wang Chengguang, wearing an ancient scholar's outfit, stood in the waterproof tent. He opened the tent door and looked towards the river ahead, where a medium-sized wooden boat was moored by the shore.
There were lanterns lighting up the boat as it approached, but as it got closer the lanterns went out.
Two well-dressed men with swords hanging from their waists and bows and arrows on their backs were also jumping two or three meters onto the shore, rushing towards the hillside platform with excitement, suspicion and surprise.
Wang Chengguang could see clearly with his super vision. Spark Elf 4.0 also took photos and recorded them late at night, and explained in words, "Dad, when they approached, they mentioned the Sun and Moon Sect, offering treasures to the Eastern Sect Master, and the Japanese pirates and ronin camps, etc."
Wang Chengguang, "???"
Before he could say anything, the Spark Elf added, "There is a woman in the wooden boat who has been tied up and illegally detained by them. She seems to be in line with your aesthetic taste, Dad. Do you need me to rescue her?"
Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's a bit too civilized to talk about illegal detention in this era. It's good to rescue him. It will help me understand this world."
The Spark Elf took off in the dark night, trying to keep the power, sound and light of the flight as concealed and low-key as possible.
The hillside platform where he was was still several hundred meters away from the shore, so the two strong-suited men were still moving in the rain. After all, it was dark and raining heavily, and the undeveloped wilderness...
Xiaohuo has flown back with a tied-up girl.
Of course the girl got wet during the process, her clothes and long hair were all soaked. After she landed, she was first stimulated by the modern lights, and then she stared at Wang Chengguang in surprise and sobbed.
Wang Chengguang then untied the restraints that bound her, including the cloth in her mouth.
The girl excitedly said in Mandarin, "Sir, are you a Han Chinese too? I am from Nanzhili, my surname is Xue, I was abducted by Japanese pirates to the river, and then kidnapped by the Sun Moon Sect's bandits, who seemed to be offering me to a high-ranking official in the sect. I beg you to help me, if I can escape, I will definitely..."
Wang Chengguang was speechless and asked, "What's your name?"
Although Miss Xue was nervous, she still spoke, "I am Xue Qianxun, your lamp is so bright in the dark that it has attracted the attention of the Sun and Moon Sect bandits. They are afraid..."
When Xue Qianxun said this, she was still looking down nervously, but after a glance, she seemed to remember something and looked at the Iron Man 2 standing motionless on the side of the platform.
It seems that this young man, who is so handsome that it is hard to describe in words, is accompanied by expert guards? Then I am not so scared.
Only then was Wang Chengguang completely certain that the plane before him was the plane of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: Dongfang Bubai. It was hard to say whether it was just this one story or whether it had been integrated with other worlds.
After all, when Xue Qianxun appeared and showed off his might and missed his beloved Dongfang Bubai, it was the 1605rd year of Wanli, AD, and the Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao was born.
After thinking for a few seconds, he asked curiously, "What year is this year?"
Xue Qianxun was stunned for more than ten seconds, but was awakened by the cold rain. "The 20th year of Wanli."
Wang Chengguang was shocked. Nurhaci was already over 30 years old! The th year of Wanli's reign was also the time when the three great expeditions of Wanli began. Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan was also urging an army of more than to attack Goryeo.
The three major expeditions emptied the treasury and mobilized too many powerful generals and soldiers from the northeast. Nurhaci took advantage of the situation to rise and unify the Jurchens.
…………
A moment later, two soldiers from the Sun and Moon Sect were climbing up in the dark. Wang Chengguang had already asked Xue Qianxun to go to the tent to change clothes by herself, or at least squeeze out some water. Xiaohuo also took the initiative to capture the two soldiers and flew to other places to interrogate them.
The role of the Sun-Moon Sect's soldiers is to tell what skills they practice and how they practice, and then be collected and recorded by the Starfire Elves.
If you want to create your own skills, you must collect enough data from big data to combine the strengths of various schools and bring forth new ideas.
When Wang Chengguang practices on his own, it is impossible for him to just pick up a low-level secret book and start practicing. It takes a lot of time. If he encounters a level like Zixia Divine Art, he will consider letting the Starfire Elf optimize the intelligence and adapt it into the most suitable version for his practice.
(ps: I want to write a modern Hong Kong variety show, but I haven’t come up with any new ideas yet, so I’ll give it a try~seek support.)
