Chapter 378 "Fairy Tale"

Wang Xu rarely wore a suit. He originally had the idea of ​​wearing Hanfu, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. In Chinese tradition, engagement has nothing to do with newlyweds. Engagement is the order of the parents and the matchmaker, unless it is an elopement. , otherwise there would be no so-called engagement etiquette.

Since they are all imported, just wear a suit, otherwise it will always feel a bit nondescript.

In fact, Wang Xu's original intention for this engagement was to get the two families together, finalize the matter, and wait until Wang Xu is really old enough to register the matter. This kind of engagement is actually a stop-gap for many young couples getting married in the 90s.

When young couples who are not old enough want to get married, they just hold such a ceremony to show that they are a couple. They announce this to all their relatives and friends very formally, and the couple usually lives together legitimately.

At this time, the law still protected such de facto marriages. Later, as society developed, the protection of such de facto marriages was removed from the Civil Code.

Wang Xu didn't know anything about legal matters, and he didn't even know the pros and cons of canceling the protection of de facto marriage, but since it was still there, let's use it first.

But the problem is that Wang Xu's social circle is too big. Just the relationship between teacher and teacher can involve a large group of people. If Wang Jinghua knows this, how can he be free.

As a result, it finally became such a large scale that more than a hundred people came, and 200 people was not impossible.

But the good thing is that you don't need any gifts when you get engaged, you also have to treat guests. Only a wealthy family like Wang Xu dares to do this.

Since the afternoon, guests have been coming and leaving one after another. Most of them say congratulations and leave. Some will write a calligraphy and painting to express their gratitude. Those who don’t want to be empty-handed usually bring some cigarettes. Let's drink some wine.

Of course, this means that it is generally not cheap. China Cigarettes sell for 40 yuan now, which is not much cheaper than it will be 20 years later.Liquors like Moutai Wuliangye cost at least several hundred to buy. The key is that even if you have money now, you may not be able to buy them.

When Wang Xu wanted to drink it, he asked Director Jiang to find connections to buy it, otherwise it would not be available on the market at all.At this time, those wineries have either not yet restructured their products, or are in the process of reorganizing them. It is extremely difficult to see real original wine.

Most of the wines on the market are produced by branch factories, or even produced by nearby wineries under the prestige.

Like Lao Cui, Compass, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Leng Jun, and the brothers in the dormitory, as friends of Wang Xu, they came early to help receive guests from their respective fields at the bar.

Women are usually Wang Fei's best friends. If not, they are quickly recruited, such as Tian Zhen.

The first wave of people to come are all close friends. Wang Fei is quite good at making friends. She can get along well with most people, especially in this life, her status has already been Transcendence cannot be compared to people who are still struggling to climb up.

But she became famous too quickly, and her mentality is not so condescending as to despise everything. Therefore, her group of best friends appears to be particularly stable and active.

Now, their activity room has taken up most of the corridor. Wang Jinghua and the others had moved their offices to the new building. On the third floor of the old building, except for the residences of Wang Xu and Wang Xu's mother at both ends, the rest You can toss it vigorously.

There are all kinds of entertainment facilities inside, including the karaoke OK created by Wang Xuxin, and even sports equipment such as billiards and table tennis. In short, these girls can eat, drink and have fun.

The men who were willing to stay and play mostly went to the bar. Lao Cui and the others were responsible for the reception. On the contrary, Wang Xu and Wang Fei had a lot of leisure time. Wang Fei felt bored, so she went to hang out with her girlfriends.

Wang Xu drank and chatted in the bar from time to time. From time to time, he said a few words to the people who came to congratulate him, and then arranged for them to drink and have fun, or go to the karaoke box to sing.

At this time, karaoke has not yet emerged in China. The main reason is that the current karaoke uses large eight-inch discs, which can only store a few songs. It is expensive and slow. The rise of karaoke in later generations is VCD. Brought up by the media.

However, in this life, Wang Xu has open sourced all versions [-], [-], [-] and [-] of Mpeg. These are actually just algorithms, and there is no way to apply for a patent. Wang Xu simply open sourced them on GIT. Now there are many computers. Applications can now read and write MPEG formats.

Then a task was announced to design a decoding chip. It is estimated that the first generation of chips will be available next year, and then we will see the scene of VCDs flying all over the sky like in the previous life.

Although the technical content of this thing is not high, the industry is huge.In the previous life, it was a thing invented by China, but it was just an idea. The chip was from China, the movement was from China and Europe, and most of the profits were made in the West.

Wang Xu has been promoting the technological iteration of domestic chip processing all his life. The demand for various chips is emerging one after another. In fact, there are many domestic companies specializing in chip processing at the moment. The chip foundry model was not invented by Zhang Zhongmou, but by him. Carrying forward.

Before him, there were many private enterprises in China engaged in chip foundry. Nowadays, it is not that expensive to import ten-micron processing equipment, and then OEM some basic chips, and they live a peaceful life.

Later, as the chip manufacturing process became higher and higher, and the capital and technology needed to be invested became larger and larger, those small businesses gradually couldn't sustain it, and they sold their factories and ran away.

The suggestion given by Wang Xu is to attract talents from the United States to return to the country to establish chip processing enterprises. The state will provide support, but the intensity does not need to be too great.In the past, the country always focused its attention on those leading companies, and then fought with them for a long time, but in the end nothing was gained.

Wang Xu felt that it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the manufacturing process is lagging behind and the total cost is not high, to support more chip processing companies. After the competition, there will naturally be some with strong technology accumulation, and then let them invest or raise funds. As it grows up, it may not be able to become a real chip foundry giant in the future.

To exchange the market for technology, you have to find a method, otherwise it will be like the automobile industry, which has only made money for decades without any technology in exchange.

Wang Xu didn't want to get involved in the automobile industry. He had to leave some meat for foreign companies, otherwise he would really become a solitary eater. In addition to various intertwined interest relationships, the automobile industry in later generations may not have left a good example of a collaborator for China. exist.

If it were to be like what the later communications companies did, everyone who came in would die. If anyone dared to bring technology in in the future, they would have to ban sales and embargo all the time.

It is precisely because of the huge profits made by the automobile industry in China that so many Chinese companies have flocked to China. In those years, China has always been at the forefront of the world in utilizing foreign capital. Making money is the biggest advertisement.

Looking at the various tricks of Asan in later generations, one company is running faster than the other. In the end, if you want to rise, you have to rely on yourself. Whether others can transfer or not is more of a legal matter. Can you learn it? Technical things.

The rise of the great China is all based on copying other people's technology. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Later, it became more and more aggressive, but it was really like this in the beginning.

Is there a market in China? Of course there is. If nothing else, just relying on the VCD and subsequent DVD market, there is a demand for hundreds of millions of chips every year. These are not high-process CPUs. Five micron and ten micron technologies are enough. Cope with it.

Coupled with various new digital products, including CPUs, GPUs, north and south bridges, control circuits, etc. in computer products, from low-end to high-end, China's market is really huge, enough to support several enterprising chip manufacturers. industrial enterprises.

Encourage these companies to use domestic processing equipment, provide them with loans or even free use, and then quickly iterate and improve, eventually forming a closed loop and completing the construction of the industrial chain.

This is a big picture and a big idea. Wang Xu can't grasp it well. He just talked with Director Jiang.He always feels that it is good to bring in key companies, but there is really no need to give them too much face, especially the Bayan companies, one is a chip and the other is petrochemicals, both of which have screwed up China.

Losing money is secondary. The key is wasting a lot of time and missing the window period for development.

China is not friendly to overseas entrepreneurs. The main reason is that China is still exploring everything at the moment. If you see something good from others, you want to take it home. It is inevitable that you only look at big companies and big capital.

But in fact, in many cases, large capital does not necessarily have good technology. On the contrary, many companies that are still very weak at this time just lack a good development opportunity. If you give them this opportunity, it is even more effective than large-scale investment.

For the vast economic system, Wang Xu can do very little, but for the electronic automation industry, he seems to be able to do a lot. He can already feel the effect of his butterfly, and sometimes he can even see it inadvertently. to some surprising changes.

For example, the few Ugly Chinese who came to congratulate me today came to Shuimu University for technical exchanges, which were purely non-governmental, because they were not even teachers at a certain university.

They were attracted by GIT. They successfully used GIT's open source products to build a multimedia [-]D modeling tool software. However, they did not choose to continue open source but chose to become a commercial product and pay patent fees to the GIT fund pool. .

In just one year, they have become a [-]D modeling software product on par with AutoDesk in the Western market. Because of their low development costs, their prices are much lower than their rivals. They are especially popular among small and medium-sized design companies.

Their kernel uses the open source version on GIT, and they focus their energy on how to build a more friendly and convenient communication interface for users. Instead, they have formed a software product that is particularly simple and easy to use.

This time I came to Shuimu, mainly hoping to get more support, and hope to get a faster response to some of the defects and improvement requests they submitted.

Of course, they also brought checks. They were a group of young people who knew the rules. Wang Xu naturally gave them some preferential treatment, agreed to their request, and invited them to establish a research and development center in the imperial capital, close to the center of open source.

But that was the end of it, and they weren't friends, so they didn't inform them of their engagement.

Who knows, when these few technical masters from GIT heard that they were engaged, they immediately rushed over to celebrate, regardless of whether they had received an invitation or not.

Come on, those who come here are guests. Anyway, there are more than a few people who come here uninvited. I just don’t know how they can integrate when they can’t understand Chinese.

But looking at them drinking happily with a group of rock musicians, it seems that it is not that difficult.

The bar has not been quiet since the afternoon, and most of the people who come here are art lovers, so when they are interested, they will naturally go up and perform a song.Several rock bands have made appearances, such as Compass, Tang Dynasty, Lao Cui, Zhang Chu, and Black Panther.

Yes, the Black Panther is here too, and they actually dared to come to their ex-girlfriend's engagement ceremony without causing any trouble. This is actually normal, after all, it's just a boyfriend and girlfriend breaking up.

It's not a life-or-death feud, and there were no bad words when they broke up. Moreover, it was Luan Shu who brought it up first. No matter whether it was an angry comment or not, if you say it, you have to admit it when they leave.

In fact, this kind of thing means that young people feel awkward. Time will smooth everything out, and rock singers are no exception.

If you look away, you will get over it. If you look away, you will never get over it.Luan Shu's current girlfriend is an actress. She is quite beautiful. Her name is Yongmei. She is the same person as Wang Xu's wife in his previous life. The two of them are living a good life and are back on track.

He solved it there. There was no reason for Black Panther to be at odds with Wang Xu and his wife forever. They were signed by a company in Xiangjiang, and Wang Fei's connections there were very useful to them. This was a mainlander in Xiangjiang. The biggest brand, there is no reason to leave such a big backer unused.

We are all adults, so there are so many things that can be done for nothing.

Musicians gather here, and others listen to concerts here. There are all kinds of songs, from popular songs to rock and roll. It's a hodgepodge.

Wang Xu likes this kind of carefree party very much. Although there is a theme, there are not many restrictions. Everyone can just have fun on their own.

It wasn't until the evening that the ceremony officially started. After Zhou Tao took the microphone, he came up and praised the two couples.

It made Wang Xu feel a little embarrassed. Well, that's strange. This kind of scene is trivial. He is now so thick-skinned that even if you praise him to the sky, he won't be ashamed.

This is the essence of an old youtiao, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, just basic operations, well, he won't tell others about the secret happiness in his heart.

Most of the people here have some relationship with Wang Xu, but generally they don't know much about them. This time they list their various achievements like this. Good guy, this is really a well-hidden god.

Especially some Ugly people. Their understanding of Wang Xu was limited to the identity of the GIT master. They had no idea that this extremely young master was actually a literary genius.

This suddenly hit the boring hearts of these Geeks. Fortunately, they were smart and brought a translator with them. However, the translator could not translate all the content to them so quickly. They only roughly translated it.

Then a few people very excitedly began to ask people around about Wang Xu's deeds, and then translated it for them.

Well, no one knows how much these people understood, but they all enthusiastically introduced this magical couple to them.

Not only did he introduce Zhou Tao, but he also talked about a lot of gossip in the market. For example, Wang Xu was a master, a very high master, and he defeated more than 30 leaders with his bare hands.

Then they understood that those who brought guys had guns. Well, more than 30 gunmen were taken care of by Wang Xu alone. Rambo, Predator, well, pretty much the same.

The origin of rumors is actually that simple sometimes.
Wang Xu was wearing a crisp black suit, a light blue shirt, and a Suzhou embroidered silk tie, red, with dark patterns like mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Wang Fei is wearing an ivory white backless long dress, also made of Suzhou embroidery, with faint cloud patterns. There is only a red bow tied with a red silk scarf on the shoulder, which looks elegant and grand.

Zhou Tao directed the two of them to stand still, and then invited the parents of both parties to come up. This procedure was agreed upon in advance. In fact, it was very simple. Zhou Tao asked the parents of both parties, do you agree with this marriage?

Agree, of course I have to agree. Wang Xu's father solemnly presented a betrothal gift, a big box.

Inside is a set of gold jewelry, bracelets, rings, necklaces, walking sticks, and hairpins, as well as some tea, pastries, dried meat, etc., totaling nine items, which is the regulation of traditional betrothal gifts.

Wang Xu's mother took out an emerald green bracelet.Well, this was not bought. Wang Xu’s family was not that wealthy before, so it was not passed down from ancestors.

But the bracelet that Wang Xu got back from the original stone was considered a decent thing, but from now on, it can be passed down.

This is Wang Xu's craftsmanship, using the natural color of jade to carve a pattern of a dragon and a phoenix, which is quite eye-catching.

The return gift from Wang Fei's parents was a pair of auspicious clothes for the two of them. They ordered them from Tang Yun at Wang Chao, but they spent a lot of money.

After the parents walked off the stage, the marriage of the young couple was finalized. When Wang Xu is old enough, they can officially get married.

The old couple felt completely at ease.Especially Wang Fei's parents. They had been divorced for many years, but this time for the sake of their daughter, they actually sat together again for the first time.

From Wang Fei's curled lips and her unconcealable smile, Wang Xu knew that she was really happy.

In fact, she has a deep relationship with her parents. Whether in Xiangjiang or the Imperial Capital, she has never been at home, but who doesn't long for a happy and complete family? Even if she knows that it is only for one day, it is enough for her to stay. Great memories.

Only Wang Xu and Wang Fei were left on the stage, holding hands and smiling in front of all the guests.

Wang Xu held Wang Fei's hand, suddenly turned his head, smiled mysteriously at Wang Fei, and said:

"In this life, I am lucky to have you. The fate we have sought in three lives has brought us together in this life. For this reason, I have prepared a special gift for you."

With that said, with a wave of his hand, a pretty figure came to the stage.

This is a young girl, not tall, but well-proportioned, looking delicate and charming.Wearing a beautiful plain dress, she held an exquisite wooden box in her hand.

Wang Xu took a look and said, "Who is this if it's not Zou Xun?"

Tang Yun was really good at arranging. Wang Xu just asked Tang Yun to help find someone to help deliver the things, but Tang Yun ended up using this little girl.

That's okay, it will be a good story to talk about in the future.

Wang Xu took Wang Fei's hands, looked at Wang Fei's big shining eyes, and asked affectionately:

"Remember when we each cut a lock of hair a few days ago?"

"Remember, you cut a lot of my hair, hehe. Didn't you say it would be used as a souvenir to symbolize the couple's hair? Are you ready?"

"It's done, look." Wang Xu took the wooden box from Zou Xun's hand, opened it, and a bright light shone out.The reflection made Wang Fei's pink cheeks look a little brighter.

"Oh my god, is this? Diamond? Or crystal? Where's the hair?" Wang Fei looked at the jewelry in the box and asked in surprise?
“Our hair is what these diamonds are made of, and this is my latest research project, specially made for engagement.

The matching diamond does not contain hair, only the main gemstone, the colored one, is made of our hair. "Wang Xu smiled proudly, stretched out his hand and took out an exquisite diamond necklace.

This is an extremely luxurious necklace. Countless sparkling diamonds form the shape of a crescent moon. Under the crescent moon is a crystal clear gemstone as big as the belly of your thumb. The gemstone has a light blue-green color and is surrounded by a circle of stars. A circle of crystal clear small diamonds.

Similarly, in the box, there is a pair of earrings and a ring. The main body of each is a light and clear diamond with a light blue-green color.

Wang Xu took out the necklace and put it on Wang Fei in the same way. A crystal clear necklace appeared on the snow-white neck, shining under the strong light.

Then there are the earrings, two diamonds with tassels formed by broken diamonds, the shape is exquisite and elegant.

Finally, Wang Xu took Wang Fei's left hand and asked affectionately: "Will you marry me?"

"it is good."

The ring is put on and locked for life. This is an agreement. They are in love with each other and use their hair.

The music played, "Fairy Tale", not for anything else, but for the lyrics "Happiness and joy are the ending".

Wang Xu's soulful singing voice is melodious, with a touch of sentimentality and melancholy, but more of a yearning for the future. When he sings emotionally, it seems that only the girl is left in his eyes. Looking at her, he can't get enough.

The song was very simple, and Wang Fei understood it. The longing to stay together for a lifetime also moved Wang Fei. She looked down at the ring on her hand, and there was a sparkle in her eyes.

The music sounded again, "I Do", a classic song sung by Wang Fei. I am afraid that except for a few ugly people here, no one has heard it. This song has won the top spot in many countries and regions. It is also Wang Fei's song. One of the famous songs.

At this time and here, they were in perfect harmony. She sang "I Do" to Wang Xu. That was her heart and that was her promise, just like the ring in her hand, they tied the knot of husband and wife, and they would be united forever.
