{Time: August 10, 2003}

{Location: United States-California}

At noon on Sunday, when Li Ying walked into the restaurant, she only saw Ning Zimo sitting there alone. She scanned the surroundings and did not find the punk girl. She walked to the table in confusion, and Li Ying smiled.

Ning Zimo raised his head after hearing the sound and asked, "Where is your little girlfriend?"

"Oh~~ She has been busy with publicity recently and has no time to have dinner with us." Ning Zimo smiled softly.

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

While sitting down on the stool, he changed the topic to other places, "It seems that this weekend that we finally have will be turned into a work forum for you again."

"You know that?" Ning Zimo then threw the phone aside and said with a curled lip, "Let's not talk about work today, let's have a good meal first. I haven't had a good meal this week.

thing."

Before Li Ying came in, Ning Zimo also received a text message from Wei Ni. The little queen was currently busy with album promotions and had no time to care. Although she had prepared early in the morning, when she actually received her message, Ning Zimo still

Somewhat lost.

Although this relationship started out of an accident, the two had a period of intimacy after all.

Even if we have to travel separately due to work schedules, it would feel too lonely when we don’t even have time to get together.

"When you are busy, I get scared. You talk about working hard and living a relaxed life. But when I look at you, you don't know what life is most of the time." Li Ying flipped through the menu casually, but her concentration was still there.

On Ning Zimo.

Speaking of which, the young partner sitting opposite her has been on a business trip to the United States for quite some time this time.

More than two months have passed since June, and he has been busy here doing things that may seem disorganized to others.

But Li Ying knew that what looked like chaos to others was actually being carried out nervously and orderly according to plan.

Li Ying stopped at the Colorado rib-eye steak, pointed at it and said, "When I was in New York, I tried Smith & Wollensky's Colorado rib-eye steak. I might as well try this one this time. It's just that the portion is a bit big."

It’s too much, how about you help me share some while I order this?”

"Okay, then why don't you just take a look at what else you want to try, and I can order some for you to try." Ning Zimo simply threw the menu aside, shaking his head and looking aimlessly at the surroundings of the restaurant.

.

He also teased faintly, "For a lunch worth 500,000 US dollars, the stock gods treat you to something that the crowd spends more than 100 US dollars. Isn't this old man being too stingy?"

In his previous life, Buffett's lunches were held at Smith & Wollensky year after year. The stock god is indeed a diligent and thrifty person. The auction price of millions is still more than 100 US dollars per capita consumption. Not to mention Li Ying

In the corner of his eye, he could see Ning Zimo looking careless,

Li Ying would rather he be in this state more often.

He is too busy!

So much so that he lives with him.

It's more like a formality.

And his girlfriend didn’t know if it was because of his influence, but she was also addicted to her career, so that the two of them usually got together less and less. This time he came to the United States and stayed in California for more than 2 months, and the two of them

We finally got together in the same state these two days, but we still haven't gotten together.

Such a couple,

It's a little too strange.

But those are his own affairs, what can her partner say?

Maybe I just feel that this talented and beautiful couple is a bit of a pity.

When she thought of this, Li Ying put down the menu. Since Ning Zimo had already made up his mind to let her help choose, he followed his usual taste and called the waiter to order a few things.

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Ying couldn't find any life-related topics for a while, so she gave up her fearless struggle.

after all,

The one opposite,

In addition to work,

There is nothing else.

He will eventually talk about work.

Although they chatted in various ways, Li Ying remained silent. Although as a partner, Ning Zimo didn't feel embarrassed to have nothing to say. But sitting here without talking about anything would always feel a little uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Ning Zimo finally said, "I talked with Chen Shijun a few days ago. He will separate from myspace next year. When Sachs is in charge of myspace full-time, he will officially start the YouTube project focusing on videos. In this way

Come on, all the projects in [Bing Ecosystem] are complete.

When [Bing Search] is officially launched, it may need to use other platforms to promote it at first, but if it really develops, [Bing Search] will become the largest traffic entrance to other platforms in the future.

The traffic entering through [bing search] will enter different landing projects according to the needs of the crowd. The professional social crowd can go to [Lingying], the music social crowd can go to [myspace], and the video social crowd can go to [Youtube]

], I have a hidden plan for the picture social crowd.

[gmail] is the account system that supports the entire [bing ecosystem]. Accounts registered through [gmail] can be used in all projects, allowing traffic to circulate throughout the [bing ecosystem] and be solved by the entire ecosystem.

The social needs of ordinary Internet users in this era.

When social needs are gradually satisfied, people's other individual needs will gradually emerge. At this time, the individual needs of the Internet will give acs a broader space for development. At that time, [acs] will truly thrive.

Good timing.”

Ning Zimo stopped temporarily when he said this. Li Ying knew that she had to catch up in time, so she answered, "So, [bing ecosystem] is still in the layout stage at this time."

"Yes, this stage is just an early stage of staking, and it's not the time to really show off."

Ning Zimo finally breathed a sigh of relief at Li Ying's response.

After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "It is estimated that the real second stage will not officially begin until 2007, because a few days ago, after Andy Rubin and Mathias obtained the bsd license of qnx,

It will take a long time to perfect the [smart device ecosystem] before we can launch the mobile Internet in an era where everyone has a terminal.

However, we still have a long way to go before that. Whether in the hardware field, software field, or network field, we need a large number of talents to complete the layout of the entire [smart device ecosystem]. And this layout, even

A longer-lasting route than the [bing ecosystem].”

"Well, I have seen the qnx company mentioned in your email, and I also specifically checked it on the Internet." Li Ying tilted her head slightly and said softly, "I knew at that time that you were in charge of the layout of this project.

, it must be another lengthy line. So, I will ignore it for the time being."

"Yes, it's quite a long line. Not only is it slower than the [bing ecosystem], but it can't even match the pace of the [cultural ecosystem]. Because the [smart device ecosystem] is subject to too many technological constraints."

Ning Zimo sighed slightly as he spoke. Every time he reviewed the things he had to do from an overall perspective, the long development process of those projects often gave Ning Zimo a feeling of being out of breath.

.

But these things were all plans he had made since the day he was reborn. If he didn't do it, his unexpected opportunity to be reborn would be meaningless.

Taking a long breath, Ning Zimo put away the messy thoughts in his mind and continued: "After I go back this time, I will integrate all the accumulation of Jubao Trading Company in the past year and the support from Dumb Tiger into b2c

In the project.”

Having been partners together for more than a year, Li Ying got to know the young man opposite her quite well.

He only turned 20 in November this year, but he has burdened himself with too much.

But she chose this partner by herself, and he was willing to bear those heavy burdens.

As a partner, all she can do is support.

Li Ying called the waiter, and Ning Zimo ordered a cup of espresso.

Because she could see that Ning Zimo was mentally exhausted, and this cup of concentrate was the only thing she could do for him today.

When the waiter left, Li Ying asked softly, "With the [Necessary Mall] plan to open so early, will there be any financial problems? After all, you mobilized 20 million US dollars to go elsewhere last month. I'm worried about [Bing search]

】After going online, our liquidity will be insufficient."

Li Ying said it lightly, because she never cared about the whereabouts of the funds arranged by Ning Zimo. Because when Ning Zimo invited her to work together, he already had a start-up capital of 40 million US dollars. So far, Ning Zimo and skrpe have earned a total of

to 100 million US dollars, but that was all earned with the investment of the start-up capital he had.

You can't always withdraw all the money or keep it somewhere. After all, you still have to find a suitable place to invest it.

To be honest, he has invested a total of 80 million US dollars in an unknown area. But he has never concealed the expenditure of this money. Even the middleman who contacted the place for him was Jennifer. She also knew that although he never

As for the whereabouts of the money, Li Ying didn't think there was anything to trace.

Because as a young man, he is a measured person, and he treats everyone around him generously. The big dividend at the beginning of the year has shown that he is a person who knows how to share profits. And what about his own expenses? Apart from buying

Apart from owning a house, he has never spent anything extravagantly on himself other than office equipment.

Does any of his clothes cost more than 200 yuan? No!

Maybe it's because he never treats his friends poorly when it comes to food, so he can't talk about being frugal, but he can't talk about being extravagant.

The money must have been spent by him where necessary.

As his partner,

As his personally invited partner,

As a partner who is familiar with his style of doing things.
