Starting in 1984

I've had a question after watching it: what exactly was the protagonist doing? It all seemed so unclear, and in the end, he was just helping others start their businesses? The initial recycling business offered 30% monthly profits, but the protagonist himself didn't get any… If the remaining 70% was the protagonist's own money, then there's no problem.

Bro, please use some cheat codes! How can you compete with those foreign giants without cheat codes? Huawei has lasted 30 years without cheat codes. If you don't use cheat codes, it'll take you at least 20 years.

This is a problematic book. In 1984, it was still an era of contracted ownership. Aside from Shanghai and Shenzhen, how could you possibly build a company and make chips? Would you even know how to do research? Back then, chip production was dominated by Japan and the US; other places, including Taiwan, were small fry. Furthermore, there were very few chip researchers in national universities.

The game started badly. My classmate got ripped off by a Hong Kong businessman, and the businessman didn't even say anything. You, on the other hand, were so arrogant, buying a bottle of wine for 1200 yuan—a vintage from 1984! You just bought it because they told you to? What kind of person are you? You do whatever they tell you to do, throwing a bottle of wine at the Hong Kong businessman's head!

Author, with the protagonist so weak, why would he go to Japan to confront the zaibatsu? Doesn't he know that Japanese zaibatsu could easily kill him with a flick of their finger? It's not just about cutting off the electricity and water; Japanese zaibatsu are basically backed by yakuza forces, making it very easy for them to take the protagonist's life! And to attract the CIA's attention is this suicidal move! Unless he gets some kind of cheat code—superhuman strength!

The protagonist of this coin-killing story starts in 1984 when he owes HK$1,200 for a meal. Did the people of Hong Kong kneel down and beg you to pay the bill?

Please learn more about that era. You start with 1200 units of liquor, earn thirty-odd yuan, and then use fourteen to buy a case of Coke. Do you know what that is? I don't even want to mention that everyone bought one bottle. Back then, many students probably didn't even have ten yuan a month for living expenses.

It's toxic; tricking classmates into working for the protagonist instead of going to school is really toxic.

Seeing that the protagonist wants to create a font library, The national standard code for Chinese characters was developed long ago, and the Wubi input method was basically completed in 1984. Even earlier, it was possible to directly input using the zone code.

High-tech industries require a complete industrial chain. Some things we understand the principles of, but can't actually manufacture because we lack the corresponding industrial chain. Machines, talent, materials… how do we solve these problems?
