Chapter 260 [Extra: Chaos at the Beginning of the Century]

When we are on the sidelines, we can always make a decision easily. Grandpa Jiang is an independent individual with his own ideas and needs. If he wants to stay in his hometown, just let him stay.

But when Jiang Xi herself was the person involved, she understood all the reasons, but she just couldn't make a decision.

The shadow of Grandpa Jiang's death in her previous life always lingered in her mind, and according to the time, Grandpa Jiang's death in his previous life was in September next year.

In fact, Jiang Xi also knew that she was a little too nervous and controlling of Grandpa Jiang. She also knew that every year Grandpa Jiang wanted to go home and stay in his hometown for a few more days, but she always came back at the latest time and left after the third day of the Chinese New Year.

But Grandpa Jiang never said anything. When his granddaughter said she was going back to school, Grandpa Jiang followed her happily, even though he was facing an empty campus and deserted streets when he returned to Shanghai. In Jiang Xi's villa of more than a thousand square meters, there were only him and Jiang Bo. The store had been open for more than ten days, and it was not until the start of school that customers began to come in one after another.

But Grandpa Jiang just accepted all this silently, and never once mentioned that he wanted to stay in his hometown for a few more days.

He just didn't want to cause trouble for his grandchildren.

Isn't this the selfishness of Jiang Wu who only considers himself and never considers Grandpa Jiang's feelings?

Doesn't Jiang Wu understand this?

She knows it, and she just relies on Grandpa's love for her.

It has always been Grandpa Jiang who accommodates her emotions, not her who takes care of Grandpa Jiang's emotions.

Grandpa Jiang's life is a life of concessions.

'Take a step back and the sea will be vast, endure for a while and the wind will be calm' runs through his entire life.

He has become accustomed to concessions, and compromises and concessions to everyone.

He always retreated silently and endured silently, and never asked others: "Why don't you retreat? Why can't you endure?"

It was precisely because of understanding that Jiang Xi remained silent after Grandpa Jiang proposed this idea and request.

She did not take a tough attitude or use both hard and soft tactics, and shedding tears to use Grandpa Jiang's love for her to make Grandpa Jiang compromise, nor did she immediately agree to say, "Okay, then you stay and I'll go." She

just remained silent for a while and said calmly: "Well, let me think about it."

She needs to work on herself to convince herself.

For example, if Grandpa Jiang's patrol work is given to Uncle Jiang, he doesn't need to patrol the mountains, and the probability of accidents will be very small, so there is no need to worry.

For example, she rented her house to her uncle and aunt, and now they live with her grandfather. It won't be like in her previous life, when her grandfather fell down and no one was around, and no one could help him.

For example, there are many tourists in her hometown now. As long as Grandpa Jiang doesn't go to the mountains and walks around in the village, even if he falls down, tourists or villagers will find him immediately. The situation in her previous life won't happen again.

Jiang Qing understands the truth, but she still wants to tie Grandpa Jiang to her side and take care of him all the time, so that she can feel at ease.

Seeing the silence of his granddaughter, Grandpa Jiang sighed, and he wanted to give in out of habit again.

He really saw that his grandson and granddaughter had really made it. He no longer needed to open a shop to earn that little money. He had a fixed income from the tea plantation. His granddaughter also had a big house in his hometown. The house was rented to his eldest son's family as a hotel. Half of the hotel income went to his granddaughter. His eldest son and his wife lived with him. His three grandsons and their wives were also nearby. It was close. After considering all aspects, he didn't want to leave.

Although the old man didn't have much education and didn't read many books, he was unusually clear-headed. He always knew his granddaughter's worries.

At first, she was worried that he would fall while patrolling the mountain. There was no one on the mountain. When that happened, no one would respond to her calls, and there would be wolves everywhere. She was afraid that something would happen to him.

He understood this because he had fallen down many times while patrolling the mountains. When he was young, he was healthy and could get up after falling down. As he got older, he thought that if he fell down while patrolling the mountains one day and there was no one around, he might die without anyone knowing. His body might even be eaten by wolves.

So when he felt the fear of his granddaughter, he had no choice. Patrolling the mountains alone could not support his granddaughter and he could not pay her tuition. He really planned to be a beggar and pick up scraps. But he did not expect that his granddaughter got the money from nowhere and rented a store near the school, bought clothes and shoes, and wrote down the prices. He just sat there and collected the money.

He actually understood that in these years, although he said that he was earning money outside to take care of his grandchildren, it was actually his grandchildren who had been taking care of him. One obvious change was that his physical data had been getting better every year during his physical examination, and he felt this very clearly.

In those years, he was really happy to go out, to see the big cities, to see the earth-shaking changes in Shanghai in recent years, to go to Beijing to see Tian'anmen, the Great Wall, the raising of the national flag, and the Yuewang Temple.

Everything he had longed for and was curious about in his dreams, he finally saw it in his old age.

He wanted to go home.

Because his grandson was admitted to another school in Shanghai for postgraduate entrance examination, and because of his busy studies, he could no longer take care of him, so his granddaughter thought of taking him to Beijing.

But he didn't want to move from a familiar city to an unfamiliar one, to meet unfamiliar people and adapt to a new environment.

Just before Grandpa Jiang was silent and wanted to give in again, Jiang Xi gave in.

She just reminded Grandpa Jiang again and again: "Don't go patrolling the mountains. If you feel bored, go to the high platform to chat with Grandpa Lao Zhonghua and the others, play mahjong, and don't walk outside on rainy days. Your legs hurt and the roads are slippery when it rains. Take care of your body."

Jiang Xi had never seen Grandpa Jiang play mahjong, but she thought that it should not be difficult to learn this thing just by watching it.

Grandpa Jiang was impatient with her treating him like an ignorant child, and waved his hand: "I know, hurry up and leave, oh."

He didn't understand. Although this little granddaughter was talkative when she was young, she obviously didn't like to talk when she grew up. Why did she become so nagging when she came to him? He was not a child, so how could he run around?

Besides, the patrol job was not his. His younger brother and his wife had been patrolling the mountains for many years. They had patrolled the mountains with him for many years. Was it necessary for him to patrol the mountains at his age? He didn't even know who to look for when he fell down.

His younger brother was twelve years younger than him, and his sister-in-law was also more than ten years younger than him. They were only in their early fifties. Why did he need to worry about them?

Besides, he doesn't live alone, so no one would know if he fell down at night.

Didn't she rent this house to her eldest son and his wife? They also agreed to move in and live together, what could go wrong? This girl was so worrying.

Jiang Xi told herself again and again that she should respect the old man's ideas and understand her grandfather's desire to return home. She even thought about not going back to school, not taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and staying to accompany Grandpa Jiang.

But she didn't want to come back. Even if the house here was built gorgeously, it was just a cage to trap her. Once she gave up the halo she had now and really returned to her hometown, would all the halo and preferential treatment she had now still be there? No, it wouldn't be there.

She would become a negative example, and the villagers would say: "Look, what's the point of getting into Beijing University? You'll end up being something like us!"

Then they would think: "Look, what's the point of letting girls study? They've been admitted to Beijing University, but they'll still farm, get married, and raise children, and become a small clerk in our town? They'll be worse than someone else's family."

Thinking of this, she looked at Grandpa Jiang's figure, and left without hesitation. She quickly got on the boat leaving Linhe Brigade and went to Wucheng to see Song Peifeng.

Song Peifeng noticed that she was not in a good mood and asked her what was wrong.

Jiang Xi expressed his thoughts, saying, "I have always thought that I can have the best of both worlds. I can continue to study and work, and Grandpa will always be by my side, and I will take care of him until his death. I have always been self-righteous and used my own ideas to consider Grandpa, and never asked what Grandpa wanted." Jiang Xi said in a low voice, "I know Grandpa is lonely in Shanghai, and he will still be lonely if he follows me to Beijing, but I ignored Grandpa's feelings and only cared about my own ideas."

"This time, Grandpa Jiang is staying in my hometown, and my uncle and aunt are living with me. I know it's not a big problem. This is the right decision, but I'm still afraid." Her calm voice revealed obvious fear: "I'm afraid of an accident that will make me regret for the rest of my life."

Song Peifeng held Jiang Wu's hand. In the hot summer, Jiang Wu's hand was a little cold. "You've done very well."

Jiang Wu looked up at him and smiled: "I know." She knew she was already very good.

She leaned her head on Song Peifeng's shoulder, threw herself into his warm arms, hugged him, and didn't say a word.

At this moment, she didn't need him to say anything, and she didn't want to say anything herself. She just wanted someone to say nothing, just let her hug him quietly for a while, let her lean on him for a while.

Not long after, Jiang Wu sent back a cell phone with a SIM card and other equipment already installed. It could be used after just charging. From then on, Jiang Wu called Grandpa Jiang every day and nagged him not to go outside on rainy days and not to go to the mountains on normal days.

At first, Grandpa Jiang was still patient and said, "No, why would I run up the mountain? I'm not a ranger."

Later, when Jiang Xiao talked too much, Grandpa Jiang became impatient and said, "I know!" He complained to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, "Why is this girl so long-winded now? She keeps repeating the same thing over and over again, and she doesn't feel tired!"

But the next day, Jiang Xiao's phone call came on time again. She would check the weather forecast of her hometown and remind him, "Grandpa, it's raining today, so don't go out."

"Grandpa, it's windy today, you should wear an extra thin coat."

"Grandpa, did it rain in my hometown today? Is the air very humid? Do your legs hurt? I sent you a pair of wool leggings. Remember to tie them on!"

After the phone call, Grandpa Jiang heard Jiang Ning's voice and answered the call. He pressed the speakerphone and said to the circle of old men and women sitting around: "Look, look, the phone call is coming again, every day. How can I have so much phone bill to pay? I'm not a kid. Children!"

Jiang Qing's smiling voice came from the phone to the ears of every old man and old lady at the scene: "Hello Grandpa (Grandpa Lao Zhonghua), hello grandpas and grandmas, thank you for taking care of my grandpa. When my grandpa was patrolling the mountains when he was young, his legs were not good. When it was cloudy, his legs hurt. I was afraid that his legs hurt and he didn't tell us. Don't let him fall on the slippery road when it's cloudy and rainy. Grandpas, grandmas, uncles and aunts also help. I reminded my grandpa!"

The old ladies in the village laughed: "Okay, we will help you watch!" They looked at Grandpa Jiang with envy: "Why don't you be filial to your eldest granddaughter when you are so nervous? Still complaining? You old man, you really don't know how lucky you are~!" Grandpa Jiang

smiled with wrinkles on his face, but said: "I am in good health, why do I need you to watch over me? He calls me every day. Reminders, who can stand it? The phone bill is free, right? Then he pretended to be impatient and said to the phone: "Okay, okay, I know everything, don't call tomorrow, call every day, am I a child?"

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't stop smiling, and continued to brag with the old men at the entrance of the village with a smile on his face, which made many old men and women on the platform feel sour in their hearts. It was not fake sourness, but real sourness.

Even Grandpa Zhonghua, who had always lived a comfortable life and whose sons and grandsons were very promising, couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

There was almost no one in the village who could do what Jiang Gui did, calling every day to say hello, fearing that his grandparents would be in the slightest discomfort, except for Jiang Gangqin who used to be in school.

Sons and grandchildren go out to work, and if they call twice a year to ask about their health, they are filial. Most of the time, they call when they have something to do or are out of money and need money. If there is nothing to do, they will hardly call once a year.

This is actually the norm in this era. In the past two years, telephones have become popular, and there are more mobile phones. Only then have there been more telephones. In the 1990s, it was considered good to have a letter sent back.

Now seeing Jiang Xi care so much about Grandpa Jiang, they are jealous.

It's just that Grandpa Jiang is a man who looks honest and obedient, but actually has a very bad temper. Jiang Xi calls Grandpa Jiang at 11 o'clock every day, and Grandpa Jiang has to stay on the platform every day and wait until Jiang Xi finishes the call. Only then will he contentedly put away the new mobile phone that Jiang Xi bought for him, slowly walk down the platform with his hands behind his back, and then slowly wander home for lunch.

A group of old men and women were so angry that they pointed at Grandpa Jiang's back and cursed: "That old caterpillar is a bad old man! The old caterpillar is so bad!"

People around him echoed, even Grandpa Zhonghua followed suit and cursed: "He looks honest, but he was bad when he was young!"

"You can't tell he was bad when he was young. You were such an honest and dull person when you were young. Why are you so cunning now?"

Grandpa Jiang didn't get angry after being scolded. Instead, he laughed even more happily and walked home happily.

After returning home, these old men and women inexplicably began to have high expectations of their own sons and grandchildren. Those who had phones would call to complain to them: "I rarely call you all year round. It's as if I don't even know I have a home when I'm away. I'm not afraid that I'll die at home one day and no one will know. Look at the granddaughter of that old caterpillar. She calls him every day, worried that he's cold or hungry. If you guys could care about me one day, I'd be dead!"

Many young people in the village don't know Grandpa Jiang's nickname, and don't know which granddaughter of "Old Caterpillar" is. They are scolded by their parents for no reason, and they start to call home with grievance. They don't

call every day like Jiang Xi, but once a week, or once every one or two months when they remember to call.

Not every household in the village has a phone installed, and they all call the old store at the entrance of the village.

When the phone rang, it was Grandma Zhonghua who was playing cards inside who answered it. When she heard who was calling, she shouted outside, "Xinghong, your son is calling!"

The person whose name was called immediately smiled and ran over to answer the phone a little more nimbly than usual. Because of the cost issue, she always hung up the phone after talking for more than 50 seconds. After hanging up, she was so happy that she came out and clapped her hands. He showed off his hand and said, "My son called! He was worried about us old people at home, so he called to ask about the situation. Alas, it's not easy for them to work outside to earn money, and we are fine at home, why do we make so many calls~!"

However, the fact that Jiang Xi called on time every day also made the first word that came to the minds of the villagers when they talked about Jiang Xi was "filial piety". Speaking of filial piety, who doesn't know that the granddaughter raised by the old caterpillar is filial piety!

Many people's eyes were red with envy.

In September, the name "Jiang Xi (Xi Meng)" finally appeared in the list of the latest batch of members of the China Writers Association. Just when Director Li was reporting some awards to Jiang Xi, the chaotic war at the beginning of the century was finally coming.

The 1990s was the era of the most rapid development of the semiconductor industry, and also the era of the most intense competition among semiconductor manufacturers. In order to suppress the growth of the semiconductor industry in the island countries, the United States implemented a series of policies. Finally, after 1995, the semiconductor companies in the United States firmly took the leading position. The leading companies and a series of large factories that originally occupied half of the semiconductor industry went bankrupt and were squeezed out, and never got up again.

At this time, the United States' policies were almost all-round to suppress the semiconductor industry in the island countries, and it was still in the stage of relaxing its vigilance in the domestic market. During this chaotic period, the world semiconductor landscape began to reshuffle.

During this critical period of reshuffle, two major events actually happened in China. One was that a certain semiconductor tycoon who had returned from studying abroad stole the achievements of others and claimed them as his own, almost destroying the domestic semiconductor industry. The other was that another industry tycoon stepped forward to save the situation and began to lead a new team to move forward with difficulty.

In the 519 stock market last year, the current stock market has not actually reached its peak. The peak will actually be next year, but Jiang Qi no longer remembers when it will be next year.

At this critical moment, when the latter boss was trying his best to raise funds, Jiang Xi took out all the funds of nearly 200 million yuan in the stock market and used her master Director Li. No, now it is not only Director Li. Because of Wu Cheng’s good publicity, Director Li has been promoted from the original deputy director of the General Administration to the director. With his help, Jiang Xi found the latter. A big boss invested 200 million yuan at once, which immediately alleviated his embarrassment of lack of funds in the early stage. He was able to quickly get funds to participate in the chaotic key period when the big factory went bankrupt, integrated and reorganized, launched new products, and innovated processes. The new big factory spent a lot of money to start poaching senior engineers, buying equipment, and buying technology. Note ①

In fact, DRAM at this time was not a semiconductor product that required too high technical content in the eyes of people more than ten years later. The domestic industry could also cross the threshold and carry out industrial layout in a short period of time. Jiang Qi seized this chaotic period.

Of course, Jiang Xi's 200 million yuan of funds is actually just a drop in the bucket in the era of big crocodiles competing. The splash is actually very small. Jiang Xi just gave the big guys behind him a chance to compete at a critical period. The more than 1 billion US dollars of funds in the later period were all raised by him in the later period.

But just such a small time difference, the pattern of this life and the previous life is completely different.

Because in the previous life, when the big guys raised the funds and started to save the situation, they had already missed the best time to end. Not to mention eating meat, even the soup was divided up.

Jiang Gui's contribution was really insignificant, and her shares were not much, but because she was a top student in the School of Mathematics at Peking University and an investor and shareholder, she had a little say in the big boss's team. Jiang Gui

didn't really know much about the semiconductor industry. The little knowledge she learned in school was just a flash of light in front of these truly senior engineers and world-class big bosses, but she was better than many people in that she knew which direction to research in the future to be in line with the general market direction.

Why did the chaotic rule at the beginning of the century lead to the elimination and reshuffle of so many of the world's top ten semiconductor companies? In addition to the containment and suppression by the United States, the original semiconductor giants also made mistakes in their research directions, which led to their market share being swallowed up all at once.

This industry is a winner-takes-all industry.

Jiang Wu is too young, and her suggestions may not be adopted, but the big guys can become big guys because of their foresight in this industry, which is not comparable to ordinary people. The research direction proposed by Jiang Wu finally had an impact on the big guys.

The two years at the beginning of the century were the two years when Jiang Wu won the most awards, whether it was the awards she won in the literary circle as an author, or the awards she won in the technology circle because the big guys reported her name in their research results, which allowed Jiang Wu to be admitted to graduate school directly.

When Director Li saw that his apprentice had won a science and technology award, he thought that his apprentice would pursue a career in science and technology and become a scientist. Jiang Xi withdrew from the team of the big boss and signed up for the civil servant examination in Beijing.
