Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1016: Time

On the way back to the meeting room, Zhang Huiguo quietly pulled Qingyun, indicating that he had something to say.

The two came to a secluded place.

Zhang Huiguo's expression revealed a hint of worry. He knew that the value of Xinguang Silicon Industry was not as high as the price Qingyun paid.

He whispered to Qing Yun, "Boss Qing, Xinguang Silicon is actually not worth the price at all. Lu Sishan is actually right. It is really only worth 2 million now. You are offering too much at 5 million."

In his opinion, Qingyun only needs to spend some time, not to mention getting 3 million, but it will definitely not exceed million. It's just a bunch of projects under construction, and they are projects that are facing the possibility of being unfinished.

Moreover, Qing Yun was a native of Xishu and a local tyrant, so Xishu would rather give him the throne.

Emperor Yun knew that the 5 million he gave was too much.
But what he wants is time.

He smiled and said to Zhang Huiguo, "Mr. Zhang, this price is correct. We are buying Xinguang Silicon Industry with 3 million yuan, and the other million yuan is buying you.

In my eyes, you are much more valuable than Xinguang Silicon Industry."

Zhang Huiguo was stunned when he heard this, and then he suppressed his excitement and said, "Xiaoqing is joking."

Qing Yun shook his head and said seriously, "I'm lucky to have you at this price."

At the beginning of this century, when other disciplines, especially materials science, had not yet made some key breakthroughs, it was certain and necessary for him to waste money.

At this point in time, the biggest problem with domestic scientific research is the lack of independent direction.

The fall of Lao Xiong had far-reaching consequences. The Soviet-style scientific research system inherited from Lao Xiong was completely denied in China, and everyone began to cross the river by feeling their way forward.

This issue needs to be viewed dialectically. In practice, it can be done in some areas but not in others.

Because in some areas it is America that is causing trouble, and Yingzi's Strategic Research Institute is actually not weak either.

We often hear things like 'Researchers are vomiting blood to find out that America's PPT is fake, but in fact we have already surpassed it', but what about those things that are not reported?

We were led along many detours.

The fundamental reason is that we lack direction in application.

We always thought that America's direction was correct, but when we stood on that step and saw the truth of the matter, we could only curse in grief and anger.

What Qingyun needs to do now is to force the path of scientific research with clear direction and clear needs.

Just like the all-round ship we proposed, that is the force that is truly suitable for our national conditions.

But this process is bound to cost money.

Just like the 10-ton polysilicon production line at this moment, before his rebirth, he could control it to be completed within 70 billion, but the cost now would be more than 100 billion.

Because some materials were not available, Qingyun could not find any domestic alternative products and could only import them.

Then, Emperor Yun must find someone who can save him money.

Zhang Huiguo, a man of loyalty and sincerity, is the most suitable candidate.

As someone who has always been engaged in practical operations, he knows how to save money better than Qingyun, an academic professor in his previous life.

The flowers should be spent, the province should be saved.

……

In the darkness of the night, Qing Yun and Qin Manyan walked hand in hand on the streets of Yulin, as if they were walking through a flowing painting.

This is definitely not the heart of Jincheng, but it is the home of the restless souls of young people.

Yulin, in western Guangdong, is a prefecture-level city located in southeastern Guangxi.

But for Jincheng, it is not only a landmark, but also a lifestyle.

A lifestyle that pursues the happiness of worldly life.

It will take some time to build a "park city under the snow-capped mountains", but the "happy city in the fireworks"...

All you need to do is not demolish and rebuild too much, and preserve the original flavor.

That is what Emperor Yun said, the old soup that Jincheng needs to keep.

Yulin Street is a 'treasure block' that is worth walking through for all friends who come to Jincheng for travel.

It's a neighborhood, not a street.

It is not the "Yulin Road" in Zhao Lei's song. There is no such thing as "Yulin Road" in Jincheng.

There is only one community consisting of Yulin West Road, Yulin East Road, Yulin South Road, and from Yulin Lane 1 to Yulin Lane 10, from Fangcao Street to Fanghua Heng Street and then to Yujie Lane.

Every block here is a great place to spend some time.

There are all kinds of Chinese and Western restaurants, bars, teahouses, cafes, snack bars, buyer's shops, brand-name shops, jewelry shops, second-hand toy shops, bookstores... You can shop here from morning to night. Moreover, the storefronts here are beautiful and creative, making them great for taking photos.

The small shops with different styles and distinct personalities seem to tell their own stories, but together they constitute the greatest feature of Jincheng - the casual, fashionable, individual and inclusive atmosphere of life.

It is also the perfect interpretation of Jincheng's slow life.

A small shop with a strong coffee aroma aroused Qin Manyan's coffee addiction. Whether drinking coffee late at night will make you unable to sleep is not a racial difference, but is entirely related to the individual's tolerance to caffeine.

There is an interesting fact that people who do mental work are less likely to suffer from insomnia when drinking coffee at night than those who do physical work.

Some people say that it is because they are used to it and coffee is flowing in their blood.

In fact, it is not the case at all.

There is a biochemical called 'adenosine' in our body.

It regulates sleep in the central nervous system mainly by inhibiting excitatory neurons (or the release of neuroexcitatory transmitters) and activating sleep-promoting neurons.

To put it simply, if you stay up late for a long time to study or work, the amount of adenosine will increase, which will combine with the receptors in the brain to act on the nervous system, and your eyelids will start to droop and you will feel drowsy.

Short version: Adenosine binds to receptors in the brain and makes people sleepy.

The structure of caffeine in coffee is similar to that of adenosine. Before adenosine binds to the receptor, caffeine is consumed first to allow it to bind to the receptor. Adenosine then has no place to stay and can only stare blankly outside the receptor.

If adenosine does not bind to the receptors, the brain will not feel tired and can continue to roll.

Hence, insomnia occurs.

Based on this concept, we can draw several conclusions for application in life.

First, if you study or work for a long time and do not get enough sleep at night, the adenosine in your brain has already bound to the receptors - that is, you only remember to drink coffee when you are sleepy, and no matter how much coffee you drink, it will be in vain.

Second, if you want coffee to be more refreshing, take a nap immediately after drinking it.

You are already shaky and sleepy, have a cup of coffee and then take a nap for 20-30 minutes. Coffee + nap = better state.

Adenosine can be broken down during sleep, and after a few hours of sleep, the adenosine produced and accumulated during wakefulness will be cleared out. Although a nap cannot completely clear the adenosine accumulated during your wakefulness, it does vacate receptors for caffeine, and the time from caffeine intake to its effect is about 20-30 minutes.

Third, if you want to sleep better, drink coffee after getting up in the morning. This will prevent adenosine from binding to receptors during the day. Then in the evening, as the effects of caffeine decay and clear, adenosine will surge in like a tide, allowing you to sleep better.

Fourth, although adenosine can be cleared through sleep, people who lack sleep for a long time always rely on coffee to survive the next day. Caffeine is always taken away from them, and the free adenosine becomes more and more, and more caffeine is needed to stay awake.

This is the mechanism by which coffee addiction and tolerance develop.

As a result, normal doses of caffeine have no effect.

"So that's why you insist on drinking coffee at night?"

The lights in the coffee shop were soft and the music was low, but Emperor Yun was helpless at this moment.

He would rather drink tea.

After complaining, he took the two cups of iced American coffee handed to him by the waiter and turned around to hand them to Qin Manyan who was still chattering to him about science.

The empress, who was smacking her lips, immediately smiled as soon as she took the coffee, pursing her lips to act cute.

Well, as long as I can drink iced Americano, that's good.

Living with his best friend for a long time, they had their periods at the same time, which made him feel very uncomfortable during the next few days in Chang'an.

It’s just right that I can’t sleep tonight!
Obviously, the empress has a heavy task tonight.

Lady Qianying and Mr. Chen did not return to Jincheng, but went directly back to Huating from Chang'an. After all, this was Qin Manyan's territory, and Sister Xiaoya was too lazy to be a light bulb, so she gave the eldest wife and her younger sister a rare moment of time together.

The two sat by the window, outside the window was the fireworks night market in Yulin district, and inside the window were the shining stars in each other's eyes.

After leaving the coffee shop, they walked into Yulin Alley 4, which is known as the "Corner of Love". The graffiti on the wall tells the story of Jincheng, which is colorful, vivid and poetic.

Qing Yun and Qin Manyan left their shadows here, which, together with the ancient murals, became footnotes of time.

In the hot pot restaurants in the streets and alleys, red oil is boiling and steam is billowing, as if the passion of Jincheng is boiling.

In the shabu-shabu hotpot, on one hand there is the challenge of spiciness, and on the other hand there is the utmost tolerance towards outsiders. Every ingredient is a tribute to the taste buds.

As the smell of fireworks rose, their taste buds also began their adventure.

Obviously, Qin Manyan didn't want to have a proper meal today, and she dragged Qingyun back and forth among various snack stalls.

The crispness of sugar-coated fruits is the most charming temptation on the streets of Jincheng;
The smoothness of Zhong’s dumplings carries the essence of Sichuan cuisine;
The grainy texture of the dandan noodles teases the limits of your taste buds;
The spicy taste of Fuqi Feipian is unforgettable.

The delicious aroma of pig intestine rice noodle is a warm comfort in the night market;

The sweetness of the ice jelly brings a touch of coolness to the lips and tongue that have been ravaged by the chili pepper;
The soft and sticky Yeerba wraps up the taste of home;
The sweet aroma of the three cannons makes people intoxicated with sweetness;
The inability to stop eating rabbit heads is a reflection of the infinite obsession of the people of Western Shu for delicious food...

All this made the little princess, who was dragged into the common people by Qingyun, never tired of it.

The bars on both sides of the street have their own characteristics, some play dynamic music, while others exude a literary and artistic atmosphere.

Walking hand in hand in the hustle and bustle of the night market, enjoying the unique leisure and comfort of this city, the little princess's face was filled with smiles.

"That's great! It's been a while since we've gone shopping together."
