The last thing Chen Mo saw before he died was the green date line on the computer screen.
It was late at night on December 31, 2023, at 11:57. Most of the office buildings in Shenzhen Nanshan Science and Technology Park have turned off the lights, and only his floor is still on. The central air conditioner stopped, and the air was filled with the sour smell of coffee grounds mixed with instant noodle seasoning packets. His workstation is by the window, and the dual-screen monitor emits a pale light. On the right screen is the K-line chart of NVIDIA (NVDA). On the last trading day of 2023, the stock price is fixed at $495, which has increased by 240% since he bought it at the beginning of the year.
The left screen is an unfinished annual summary PPT titled "AIGC Business Line Review in 2023 and Plan for 2024". The cursor flashed behind the word "plan", like a heartbeat urging his eyes.
