96: Sponsor My Studies Abroad? I'll Empty Silicon Valley Instead

[America] [Anti-Trope] [Internet] [Entrepreneurship] [Panel]

Ye Xing lost his job. The moment he heard the news, a jumble of emotions surged through him: hurt, fear, bitterness, and more.

It seemed Heaven had heard Ye Xing's resentment and regret, and given him a chance to start over.

He was sent back to 1996, on the eve of the Internet boom, and transmigrated into a Beiying student about to study in the United States.

What? The scholarship to study abroad was a conspiracy? Ye Xing simply decided to play along and turn the tables.

You want to talk about "ideology and culture"? I'll talk about how to rake in capital!

You want to talk about directing techniques? I'll talk about the Internet industry!

It was 1996. Netscape had only recently gone public, Yahoo was still growing, Amazon had just started operating, and Google, Facebook, and the rest had yet to be founded...

The Internet tide was surging forward.

In such a wonderful era, wouldn't becoming a business magnate be the better choice?

Many years later...

A congressman shouted angrily, "How did Ye Xing, whom we funded, become a patriotic young man?"

The foundation explained, "Because we funded director Ye Xing, not billionaire Ye Xing."

The congressman shouted again, "Then what happened to director Ye Xing?"

The foundation replied pitifully, "He died. Billionaire Ye Xing killed him."

The congressman calmed down. "Promote it that way!"

The audience fell silent.
