Vol 3 Chapter 292: Time Shift

"Dad, mom, happy new year." On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which is 6 pm on New Year’s Eve, before setting off firecrackers for the New Year’s Eve dinner, I finished the phone call to Huang Jingping’s family. Feng Yiping held his daughter and called his home to pay New Year’s greetings. .

It's still New Year's Eve here, at home, it's already the morning of the first day of the new year.

Feng Yiping could hear those children in the New Year greetings coming to the house. Feng Zhenchang who answered the phone hesitated, "Your mother misses you very much, and my family misses you very much."

On such a special day, for the first time he expressed his emotions to his son more straightforwardly, although he still didn't say that he missed them very much.

Feng Yiping was a little surprised when he said that, and he was a little uncomfortable.

The two lifetimes combined, the father and son have nearly 60 years, he knows him well, and he doesn't talk about the sensational words of father's love like a mountain, Feng Zhenchang's love for his children is indeed very restrained.

Perhaps in his concept, expressing his emotions with his children straightforwardly like this would appear weak and would damage his image as a strict father.

Feng Yiping didn't know how to respond, so he said dryly, "We also miss home,"

The next moment, the microphone was in her mother's hands, and Mei Qiuping asked loudly, "Yiping, how are you? What did you make for the evening? Where is Amanda?"

"We are all very good. We made a large table of dishes, a dozen dishes," Feng Yiping said to his mother over the phone with a smile, "Amanda, hurry up, say a few words, let grandpa and grandma listen." He handed the microphone to his daughter.

Amanda was very cooperative. She stretched out her hand to grab the receiver and screamed. Mei Qiuping over there was very satisfied. She said "Good granddaughter," and handed the phone to Feng Zhenchang, "Listen, granddaughter is calling. "

Listening to her parents being so loud, Feng Yuxuan yelled upstairs from the stairs, "Mom and dad, keep your voice down, one after the other, do you want everyone to know about it?"

Happy for a while, some of the old couple who had forgotten this quickly lowered their voices, "Then you guys will eat early, and all will be good, and the coming year will be all well, smoothly and peacefully,"

It made Feng Yiping's eyes a little red, "Okay, I will set off firecrackers now,"

This daughter is really silly and bold. Feng Yiping put the firecrackers on the front yard and ran towards the door with her ears covered as soon as she clicked. She was uncomfortable. Huang Jingping pressed her in her arms and covered her ears. Struggling impatiently, wanting to move towards that side, "Who do you follow?" Feng Yiping kissed her, "Go, eat New Year's Eve dinner!"

The dishes are still the same as last year, but this year is very different from last year, because they have a daughter.

During the Chinese New Year last year, not only Huang Jingping, but also Feng Yiping, they felt a bit like rootless duckweed floating in the distance away from home and parents.

But this year, because of the lively and lovely daughter, this house in Silicon Valley now feels like home.

They were upgraded to parents, although the burden was heavier, but they were relieved, because no matter where they were, the two of them were their daughter's home.

Therefore, the issue of responsibility can indeed change people's mentality.

A family of three happily ate the New Year’s Eve dinner and watched the recorded Spring Festival Gala on CCTV. Feng Yiping wiped off the minced meat from his daughter’s mouth with his fingers, "You said, when my daughter grows up, will he not treat the Spring Festival at all? All the same?"

"If you grow up here, you might not value the Spring Festival as much as we do. Maybe, I'm afraid I would be more interested in some festivals here," Huang Jingping said.

Yes, the environment is different, the feeling and experience will definitely be different.

It was the children in the inner city, so why not? After the life is better, unlike Feng Yiping when they were young, they can only eat delicious food and wear new clothes during the New Year. If it is not for the Spring Festival holiday and the New Year’s money to take, they may not understand what the adults say about the Spring Festival. value.

Our nation, from a macro point of view, in the past many years has been almost isolated from the world and remains the same, but time has changed. In recent years, it has changed too fast and has quickly followed the trend of the world. , Leaving behind many things that the older generation insisted on.

With a bit of emotion, Feng Yiping drank the wine in his glass cleanly, "Have you finished eating? Let's set off the fireworks when we finish eating!"

…………

As the environment changes, changes will be huge and inevitable. On the morning of the New Year's Day, Feng Yiping was standing in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel in San Jose with a glass of wine and communicating with some alumni who met for the first time. A clear understanding.

This is the Spring Festival gathering of Tsinghua alumni in North America in 2003. This "Tsinghua" refers to the "Tsinghua" on both sides of the strait. In addition, there are also some students from brother colleges with few alumni in Silicon Valley, such as Peking University, Nankai University, and Nankai University. Success and "Jiaotong University" alumni on both sides of the strait.

Yes, in Silicon Valley, Tsinghua has the most alumni, with more than 3,000 alumni at this time.

Among them, there are many senior brothers in the School of Economics and Management, and some of them are senior seniors who were brought in by Dean Zhu himself.

It's also very emotional to talk about it. These can be said to be from famous backgrounds. Before going abroad for further study, most of the seniors who had gone through strict political examinations chose to stay in the United States. Their past few years, currently in China, are not enough. One-tenth of that.

Of course, this matter is not the turn of Feng Yiping to sigh and worry.

I heard that after Dean Zhu went to work in Haili, he once met with a delegation of Goldman Sachs in Ziguang% Pavilion. One of the delegations was a student he had led. He also asked, "Why don't my students come back?"

Of course the dean knew the reason, and maybe it was precisely because he knew that he felt a little disappointed.

However, today, even these eight-year-old seniors who have passed their middle age and are currently accomplished in the eighth term, do not have any airs in front of Feng Yiping.

On the contrary, today there are hundreds of elites gathered together, and Feng Yiping is definitely the central figure.

Although Feng Yiping is the youngest and the youngest among the classmates present, he is currently the one with the highest status and achievement in Silicon Valley.

First of all, he can be said to be a well-known management expert in the global corporate world.

Secondly, although Google has not yet gone public, all the alumni present know its prospects. Feng Yiping is not only Google’s major shareholder, but also its strategic director.

If this is nothing, then his other identity, Apple Jobs' special adviser, is enough to make him look down on alumni on both sides of the strait.

The classmates present also inquired about the identity of the founder of his nextdoor. Although it is not clear about his shareholding ratio in this website, plus his personal direct investment of 150 million US dollars in Google, and his holdings With 18% shares, it was listed at the end of last year. The Yijia Express Hotel, which has a market value of more than US$2 billion, is the most conservative estimate. This is also a wealthy man with a net worth of more than US$500 million.

What's more, he had previously invested a billion dollars in China to establish Zhiben Capital to support Tsinghua alumni's entrepreneurship. Such prestigious and funded alumni are of course welcomed by the alumni present.

Feng Yiping was holding a wine glass and communicating with wave after wave of alumni. Many alumni suggested that he set up a branch of Zhiben Capital in Silicon Valley. Some of them are already making appointments with him or directly selling their own. project.

All of these are understandable, but what Feng Yiping is a little uncomfortable with is that many of these alumni have been fully Westernized, especially in business. It is also understandable that business is always business.

However, what makes Feng Yiping feel awkward is that some of them do not know whether they are intentional or unintentional. They always have two sets of standards. To make an analogy, it is as if you were eating out with him, and he naturally followed you aa, but , He eats with you, and enjoys your treat with peace of mind.

Since discussing business professionally, when discussing your own projects, can you not always play the emotional card unprofessional, and emphasize that you are Chinese and alumni again and again to fight for favorable conditions for yourself? If you meet other venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, would you be so casual?

Unlike the New Year gathering for overseas students in Northern California that Feng Yiping attended last year, the Tsinghua alumni from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and alumni from brother colleges who are present today have already participated in work. Such gatherings are not just about eating, drinking and **** relations, but also a topic discussion. It is when this wave of Internet cold will end and what will be the form this year.

The president of the California Tsinghua Alumni Association has always been held by alumni from both sides of the strait in turn. This year, the Tsinghua alumnus named Zou, who is in New York City, will take turns.

He is very old-fashioned to bow to everyone present, "Welcome the alumni to come, welcome the compatriots from brother colleges, here, I would also like to welcome one of our little brothers, Feng Yiping for the first time this year. ," He pointed to Feng Yiping here.

Feng Yiping had to smile and nod to everyone.

"As the organizer, I would like to thank classmate Yiping especially for his participation. The first event I organized was the largest number of participants in recent years, with nearly 600 people. Haha, there has been no such grand occasion for many years. So, I won’t waste your time much, let’s welcome our little brother to express his views on this issue.”

Feng Yiping didn't know this agenda beforehand, but how could he refute face with such enthusiastic applause?

He took the microphone from Chairman Zou, "I know, let me be the first to speak. It is the brothers and sisters who take care of my little brother, thank you everyone,"

"As for the topic discussed today, my opinion is very simple, two words, optimistic! I will not state the specific reasons one by one. You can go to the issue of my cutting-edge magazine last month. In the article, there is an article written by me. I have a very systematic explanation on this issue, thank you!"

After thinking about it, he added a few more words, "I am very happy to have such an organization in Silicon Valley. I believe that our Tsinghua University will definitely become the third influential school in Silicon Valley after Stanford and Berkeley.

For the future development of the alumni association, I have an immature suggestion. In addition to contacting alumni in Silicon Valley and North America, can we consider strengthening the relationship with our alma mater and domestic alumni in a deeper level, so as to build a cross China and the United States ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the network that realizes the exchange of talents and funds?

Because I have been staying in China before, I may know more about the domestic situation. With the rapid economic development, the country has changed tremendously in recent years. Not to mention the same thing every year, at least a few years will definitely change a lot, so domestic There are also many opportunities for entrepreneurship. If you have time, you can go back and take a look. "

As long as there is a chance, he can't help but want to bring some people or funds back to the country. Of course, this is actually a win-win thing.

Whether we admit it or not, one thing is clear to those present, and Feng Yiping also knows that in Silicon Valley, Chinese entrepreneurial teams are not even as popular as Indian entrepreneurial teams.

If they return to China with good projects, it will definitely be different. Today is different. With the fullness of the national treasury and the needs of domestic development, the country has not only provided many preferential conditions but also listed many separately in order to attract talents to return. With special funds, returning to China to start a business, maybe you will be successful?

If Li Jialun's gang were there, I would have to complain about where Feng Yiping went, not forgetting the true nature of his party members.
