Age of Dreams

() It took two days to complete the two commissions. Every day, he hurried back and forth between the hotel and the place of work. Xiao Qi, who was very tired, felt that he should also experience the customs of New York.

Xiao Qi, who had a psychological shadow in his previous life, stayed in the school and dormitory every day, and hardly had any entertainment activities. Let alone coming to New York, he never went to the beach in California to bask in the sun.

Now that he was reborn, after having two girlfriends who are as beautiful as heaven, the young man feels even more that he should live a more wonderful life, so as not to waste the gift given to him by God.

Don't get me wrong, what Xiao Qi wants to experience is not the dazzling nightlife in New York, not the fat and thin beauties, but the museums and food in New York.

A city's museums represent its history, especially the New York Museum. Xiao Qi is dazzled by all kinds of precious cultural relics related to American history.

But when he saw the "Huaguo Hall" specially displayed, the boy felt a burst of anger. These imperialist guys, who claim to be civilized elites, don't see them return the things they robbed from Huaguo to Huaguo. What about the Chinese?

But anger is anger, and Xiao Qi has nothing to do, because not only the United States, but also Britain, France, Italy, Spain... and other countries all have more or less Chinese antiques, unless Xiao Qi is the real one. It is an impossible task to get all these millions of treasures back to the country of Hua, if you are the head of the earth.

After tidying up my somewhat uncomfortable mood, when I came out of the museum, it was dusk before I knew it. It was not completely dark yet, and there were already bright lights everywhere.

The United States is the most resource-wasting country in the world. This is true of oil, and even more so of electricity.

As long as it is a big city in the United States, there is absolutely no such thing as saving electricity at night. The light is as bright as it is, and it will be turned on for you. The legends of cities that never sleep are also derived from this.

New York, which is even more wasteful, walked out of the museum. A row of high-rise buildings. In addition to the brightly lit business premises, the exterior of the building is also shiny and bright. It looks very bright, but it doesn't make people feel lonely in the dark.

It's no wonder that millions of people were so uncomfortable during the New York blackout a few years later.

Just a power outage of more than a dozen hours caused an endless stream of people crying, panicking, and rioting in New York City, as if it was the end of the world, and it made people all over the world laugh out loud.

Looking at the endless lights in the sky. Xiao Qi understood, no wonder New Yorkers have such a strong sense of dependence on electricity, it is really a bad habit of the New York government itself.

In New York in 2006, although facebook hadn't become popular yet, and twitter was still in secret testing, some individual food recommendations still appeared on the facebook network platform.

Xiao Qi browsed on the computer in the hotel in the morning, and he has already selected a shop that specializes in selling Indian barbecue, and he is going to have a feast.

American barbecue is really bad.

Large pieces of meat are smeared with a little pepper and salt. It was baked in the oven, and there was not much fat, which caused the barbecue to be shriveled. It has no taste yet, I really don't know why many Americans eat it with relish.

But Indian barbecue is different. According to legend, the descendants of the Yin Dynasty from Huaguo are used to cooking food with various spices from the woods and mountains, so their barbecue is a bit like the minority of Caiyun and Qianzhou in Huaguo. Ethnic characteristics, spicy and delicious, without losing the mellow taste.

Americans are still very inclusive, although Indian barbecue is not on their list of traditional delicacies. But many Asians and Europeans and Americans who like to taste delicious food will go to Indian barbecue to taste.

The shop Xiao Qi chose was very large, with a full 200 tables, Xiao Qi cursed that it was extravagant and wasteful. In a place like New York where every inch of land is expensive, such a large shop is still set up.

Since it is an Indian barbecue, from the boss to the waiters, they are all Indians. They wear traditional costumes and traditional accessories, smiling and busy everywhere, serving tea, water, and various delicacies. At least 80% of them are satisfied. more than three hundred guests.

Xiao Qi ordered a small lamb chop with rosemary, a traditional roasted pork, an Indian pancake, a salad, and a pot of Indian unique sweet tea, all of which were highly recommended by celebrities on Facebook dishes.

Thinking of Facebook, Xiao Qi felt a little regretful.

Originally, if you were reincarnated, it’s fine if you didn’t catch up with Microsoft’s explosive development, and it’s understandable if you couldn’t catch up with Cisco’s abnormal skyrocketing. It is really a great pity if you miss Google, Baidu, and even facebook, a powerful tool for making money, because this basically represents the last stage of the era of huge profits.

Because after Facebook, Internet-related explosive growth companies, the kind of speculation in which assets skyrocketed by dozens or hundreds of times in a blink of an eye, no longer exists.

At least until 2013, it was impossible to exist.

Even twitter, which is almost as famous as it, still cannot compare with facebook in terms of skyrocketing profits.

The reason is that the founders of twitter were too stubborn and never thought of going public to make money. Until 2013 when Xiao Qi was reincarnated and came back, they were still a private company and did not want to make an IPO listing plan.

Xiao Qi likes to do business, but it doesn't mean he won't take a bite when he sees the cake sitting there.

But what Facebook misses is what it misses.

Now that it has a prototype, twitter, which will officially debut in June, has rejected venture capital investment from the very beginning.

Xiao Qi naturally wouldn't put his wish of getting rich on it, but it is still necessary to try to get in touch, but he also knows that there is little hope.

Regarding the success or failure of investing in Twitter, Xiao Qi has nothing to complain about. It is already a very good gift for God to let him come back to make up for these regrets. .

But Xiao Qi is a smart person with a high IQ after all, and when he thought about it, he thought of another new business opportunity from recommending gourmet dishes on the Internet.
