The first year of Cheng Ran's rebirth was from 1997 to 1998. During this period, the world was still noisy and in a mess.
Just like the tragedy of the world's hottest movie "Titanic", the financial crisis that swept across Asia started from Thailand. Quantum Fund targeted the gap of the Thai government's overheated economy and deficit crisis, and sold off the Thai baht in large quantities. Even though the Thai government used 25 billion US dollars to rescue the market, it collapsed at the touch of a button and could not stop the harvest of international speculators. After sniping Thailand, speculators led by Quantum Fund killed all the way, sweeping Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea...
Wherever they passed, there was widespread misery. The wealth and economy that these countries had accumulated over at least a dozen years were looted by financial means. The wealth of residents in the countries involved fell by 50% to 37%. Just by walking on the streets of these countries, you can see the once prosperous commercial streets. A large number of private banks and financial institutions have been closed down, and these collapsed financial institutions have in turn affected the real economy such as industry and agriculture, triggering a wave of bankruptcies and widespread misery.
For the first time, many people truly experienced the power of financial trauma, which was like a nuclear winter that could be brought about even in a period of general world peace. It destroyed people's lives, damaged the human spirit, self-esteem and self-confidence, so much so that in the decades that followed, many countries and regions have not been able to recover from the damage they suffered.
Such an impact even affected the domestic industrial economy and public mentality. Global stock markets plummeted, and the domestic stock market, which was quite active in the past, also fell into a downturn. The consumer market was in a slump. The resulting power caused many famous domestic companies that had developed at an accelerated pace without any warning to collapse.
Shandong Baijiu, Sun God Company, Yinghaiwei Space, Asia Group… giants who were once famous in the industry have fallen one after another. Bigwigs who were once powerful and worth a lot of money have gone downhill, lost their halo, and rarely come out. Some have suffered from the wind and rain, failed, and carried a bad reputation. Some have even been imprisoned and beaten by suppliers because of debts, and are exhausted physically and mentally…
However, it was also under the situation of the increasingly sluggish domestic consumer market that the government expanded domestic demand, opened up the real estate economy, liberalized bank housing loans from a financial perspective, and terminated the welfare housing system from a policy perspective, which profoundly created the situation in which China's real estate economy became the pillar of the economy in the future. Therefore, a group of well-known real estate leaders were born, and the new generation replaced the old.
In this great era, countless people are competing for the visible lead. Some want to leave their names in the world, some want to make rules in this era, some want to defeat their opponents, and some simply want to survive, so they all become the leaders for a while.
However, there were also countless people whose boats capsized and sank, leaving behind whirlpools that made later generations sigh with regret.
As the old saying goes, “Time no longer fascinates.”
But at the same time, a great era is also beginning.
…
In the eyes of Cheng Ran, to whom all the noise and chaos were like passing clouds, the ups and downs that had caused controversy among the world and could be talked about for three days and three nights seemed like a shadow play. In this life, there were familiar things and there were extra things, but because the mainstream direction remained unchanged, in Cheng Ran's view, it was like a river. Even if the arrangement of the stones and rocks was different, it was still the same mainstream.
You can find new and interesting things in them, maybe you will exclaim "Wow", and if some things overlap with the past, you will smile knowingly.
In the end, those things still seemed to have little to do with him who was only a freshman in high school.
It was May, late spring was about to pass and midsummer was about to arrive, and at the end of summer it would be time for the exam he had originally planned to take.
It is probably difficult for people who have not been reborn to understand Cheng Ran's state of mind. To put it in a rough but true way, one can have the best food and the most delicious food, or eat simple meals. There is no contradiction between wearing decent clothes and going to a Michelin restaurant and eating at a food stall or spicy hot pot. What we enjoy is the same thing, the taste of life.
To Cheng Ran, opening up an amazing company, expanding into an industry, and conquering a super high school are essentially the same thing.
What I have experienced is just a taste of it.
The effort and challenges faced were not much easier. At least when Cheng Ran was sprinting for the set of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School entrance examination materials, he still felt a kind of endless fun in competing with others.
Cheng Ran was so dizzy from doing so many questions. He remembered that he had experienced the same thing when he was in school. It was extremely difficult to move forward in the five-point level and ten-point level. Even after being reborn, he still remembers it vividly. It was not until he was reborn that he applied the comprehensive cognitive abilities accumulated in two lives to the questions, which was like looking down from a higher dimension.
For example, practicing questions is not about blindly doing more questions, but about building a knowledge system of your own from beginning to end, a framework that outlines the main points. All practice questions should not be blind, but all problem-solving thinking and experience should be attributed to the big framework. Every time you do a question, you enrich your own system. In the future, when you encounter similar questions, you will no longer simply and crudely solve them, but you will be able to quickly figure out which category the question belongs to and what the questioner's test point is. Over time, this will form something like intuition.
Therefore, intuition is not something mysterious and elusive. On the contrary, it is based on the extension of a large number of knowledge points of the same category and analogy, which produces a stress response.
These were the things he had not fully thought through and understood in his life before his rebirth.
This life can give him fresh insights.
Feeling dizzy and confused is because your thinking is confused and you haven't formed a system. However, doing questions until you feel exhausted and relieved, like lifting a heavy stone, is a nutritious way to do questions.
Of course, building and understanding such a system is always a very mentally and physically demanding task, so after working for a while, Cheng Ran still has to stop and take a break, walk out of the classroom to breathe fresh air and change his mind.
A strange phenomenon was that whenever he appeared at the corridor fence outside the classroom, the noises of people chatting in groups of three or five outside would suddenly become quieter.
Two months have passed since the Shanhai Music Festival. Now, students of No. 1 Middle School are often asked about the deeds of Qin Xizhen, a music teacher from their school, during family gatherings or meetings with relatives, parents and friends.
In fact, No. 1 Middle School has produced some famous people, some in politics and some in business, but it seems that Qin Xizhen's path has made his fame spread quite quickly. At that time, many radio stations broadcast the music festival live, which also spread his influence in disguise.
There was a sense of unreality, but the students of No. 1 Middle School felt like they were at the core of the discussion among the people of Shanhai City. As for the students in the classes Qin Xizhen had taught, after the initial shock and nostalgia for Qin Xizhen, more of them put on headphones and listened to songs in their spare time after class, always feeling that they had experienced a major event in their lives that would be very recognizable when they recalled it many years later.
Some students who know the details know where the original source of the song "I am no longer the familiar me of the old days, I still have the old passionate dreams" that the older people occasionally hum in Qin Xizhen's songs that people talk about, or the phrase "Choose C for all" that some young people like to say.
So many people can't remain calm.
In the beginning, many people came to the door of Class 9 to observe and inquire about Cheng Ran, but this situation naturally could not continue for long. Many people wrote letters to express their intention to be friends with Cheng Ran. There were so many letters that it was difficult for Cheng Ran to respond one by one, so he asked Yu Xiao to help sort it out. As a result, 70% of the love letters were screened, and several of them were from the same sex.
But every time someone walked out of the classroom like Cheng Ran did, he would be the focus of countless eyes and people would lower their voices.
At the stairs at the end of the corridor, some students gathered together at the end of class, sharing radio earphones. They listened to Qin Xizhen's song, which was at the top of the radio charts. The singing was as clear as a spring, or as passionate as a galloping horse, or as plaintive as tears, and it was full of vigor and vitality.
The songs on the radio charts have unleashed a bloody war on the music scene, and Qin Xizhen's name has risen rapidly, which makes people involuntarily think about it... In comparison, Cheng Ran, who is leaning on the guardrail, gazing at the distant trees and relaxing his eyes, seems to be in two different worlds.
They didn't understand why he was so calm.
Like a rock standing still in the long river of time.
What on earth was he thinking? Countless people speculated.
But in fact, no one knew that Cheng Ran was only estimating how confident he was this time when facing the joint attack of those perverted test setters who enjoyed various subsidies and titles for the independent recruitment examination of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School.
Standing at the teaching building, looking at the buildings in front of me and the garden-lined avenue that is so familiar to No. 1 Middle School.
Cheng Ran actually developed a heroic spirit to fight a decisive battle with the six major sects at Bright Summit.
I've become obsessed with doing practice questions!
The decisive battle at Bright Summit, in order to gain the confidence to write the subsequent plots well, humph, spread my hands... Give me votes, recommendation votes will do!
