The Pope of Basketball Community

In October, Thomas returned to Toronto from Silicon Valley, and bought 30,000 shares of Cisco, which was a 10-yuan stock.

Thomas is very courageous, and firmly believes that the stock market has reached an inflection point, and it is impossible to plummet again when the stock market has fallen by more than 30%. He only set aside money to run Facebook normally.

On the third day after the stock was bought, the market began to soar, and Cisco even soared for a week, and the stock price rose to 17 yuan. If they sell it now, both of them can make a lot of money.

NBA labor negotiations did not make any progress, Stern was forced to announce the cancellation of all regular season games in November.

Players can't play games, so they can only stay at home, and the exposure rate is reduced. Yang Rui has become the most spotlight-stealing person in the league, and "A Bite of America" ​​has started broadcasting on Food Channel.

At the end of 1998, reality show entertainment was relatively weak, and no one "divided the cake". As soon as the show was broadcast, it immediately won good ratings and acclaim.

The audience remembered the two hosts, the popularity of Yang Rui and Scarlett soared.

Not only eating, Yang Rui also turned into a joke player, making Scarlett laugh wildly all the way.

It was very hot when he arrived in Philadelphia, and as soon as he went outside, he said, "We must live strong! Because marinated jelly, sesame sauce stuffed skin, sesame sauce cold noodles, mung bean jelly, and iced fermented glutinous sour plum soup are calling us."

In a Korean restaurant, he said with emotion: "The ginseng chicken soup here is stuffed with glutinous rice and Korean ginseng into a whole chicken, and stewed in soup for hours. The seasoning is very light, but the stew is very bad, as long as you use chopsticks so lightly With a single flick, the chicken can be peeled off... Now, my mood is very exciting."

Scarlett asked: "Your impression is too exaggerated, is this soup so good?"

Yang Rui shook his head. "No, I'm just wondering why this dish is Chinese, so why did it become a Korean dish? Is it because it's stuffed with Korean ginseng?"

Yang Rui's complaints are the most outrageous when eating Japanese food. "Duck with blood and bone marrow sauce is served, this... I don't feel like eating duck, but sending the removed internal organs back to my body."

Seeing this description, who would eat this dish? !

When tasting Chinese food, Yang Rui tried his best to speak well. In order to increase the ratings, the crew chose preserved eggs - a food that is generally disgusted by Europeans and Americans.

Yang Rui dipped in the sauce and ate with relish, saying: "I don't think there's anything scary about this. It's round and beautiful before being cut. In terms of appearance, preserved eggs are like jewels, while scrambled eggs are rotten. ..."

There was always a little ambiguity in the show. When tasting the mango mille-feuille cake, Scarlett spread cream on Yang Rui's face with an intimate attitude. However, Scarlett is not as famous as later generations, and no fans are jealous.

The production cost of this reality show is low, and it has received a lot of advertising sponsorships. Coupled with the ratings, it has made a lot of money.

In November, Yang Rui received the first installment of dividends, 3.8 million dollars into his account. As an investor, planner and star of a reality show, he received a lot of dividends, and his wallet suddenly bulged.

Usually there is nothing to spend money on, leaving 50,000 in the bank as living expenses, and Thomas bought Cisco stocks again. They all believe that they can still buy at this time, and there is definitely a lot of room for appreciation.

In the middle of the month, the stock price reached 21 US dollars, and Yang Rui's social status continued to increase.

On November 26, the day of Thanksgiving, the Minion software was officially launched after testing, and the instant messaging service was opened, all free of charge.

In the evening, Yang Rui called Scarlett. "Tom and I made an online chat software, which is officially launched today, you can download it now."

"What did you do?" Scarlett was stunned on the other end of the phone.

"Didn't I say when I left New York that there would be a chat software better than ICQ soon? You'll know after you download it." Yang Rui said proudly.

Scarlett downloaded the software, the number was 17777 given by Yang Rui, the 5-digit number has four of her favorite numbers 7.

see the login page,

Scarlett was attracted, a little yellow man in blue suspenders, entered the number and password on his stomach, and after logging in, there was a vertical long friend bar that could be dragged.

The initial column is the banana color of the minions, and you can choose to change the skin color. Chat is an adjustable dialog box, in which you can send a variety of minion emoticons.

The official Facebook website launched by the company a week ago also has a minion as its logo.

The image of the little yellow man was drawn by Yang Rui based on his memory. He wears clothes, has one eye and two eyes, and hairstyles include prickly heads, slumped small middle parts, a handful reaching the sky, and no hair.

People with average drawing skills can handle it. Apart from short limbs and cute facial features, this thing is a yellow capsule.

Scarlett used the computer keyboard to type and chat, and found that the font can be adjusted, the dialog box can be on the desktop, or can be shrunk to the lower right corner. When there is a message, the friend's profile picture will shake and a notification tone will sound, which is the smile of the little yellow man logo The voice, Yang Rui went to the recording studio to dub it, it was the stupid and cute feeling of the previous life.

The fly in the ointment is that the picture quality of the cartoon image in 1998 is slightly inferior, and it does not have the 3D sense of the future, but there is no pressure to crush ICQ.

The two Minions listed on the homepage of the website have names—Bentley and Yang!

Yang Rui didn't use the names of Tom and Jerry because he was afraid of lawsuits because those two were too famous.

When you ask the famous American cartoon characters, the whole world will think of cat and mouse. MGM premiered it in the United States on February 10, 1940. Their influence spans more than half a century.

After reading the introduction on the Facebook homepage, Scarlet burst out laughing, and no longer doubted that the software was created by the two of them. "Hahaha, Bentley and Yang? You two are enough. Is this your cartoon image? Why are you one-eyed?"

Yang Rui replied: "I am concentrating my eyesight on one point to change my previous view on things."

Scarlett laughed hard again, few Americans know about the movie "Moonlight Box".

There are also introductions to the two mascots.

Yang, one-eyed, half-haired, 94cm tall, standard build, likes to play and laugh, play guitar, hates being bullied by other minions.

Bentley, double-eyed, a handful of sky-high hairstyles, 120cm tall, slim, narcissistic, likes to pretend to be the boss, and hates being laughed at.

Bentley was playing it cool, and Young was laughing with his guitar, very festive.

After chatting for a while, Scarlett asked, "Can you design a minion image for me?"

"Okay, the little yellow man named Scarlett? Do you like fat or thin, and you can set your personality traits and tell me. It is possible to make a movie in the future, and we will all be the leading actors."

"Really? I want to be fat, with long hair..." Scarlett Barabara said.

Yang Rui immediately had an idea. In his previous life, minions had no gender, but fans on the Internet changed many female versions, such as Mona Lisa minions, Monroe minions, etc... Just change it a little, just name it Scarlett, and change the hair color of Scarlett.

Yang Rui didn't realize at this time that the life path of the literary girl had been led astray by him.
