The pulse of the times

March 6, 2010 afternoon.

Lu Zhou was still lying on the sofa in his room, thinking about his life. At this time, he just wanted to continue lying on his sofa and did not want to do anything else.

The house he lives in, is now located in the urban village of Guangnan University Town. His room consist of one-bedroom in an old building which is in 1990s style.

Inside his house, walls were covered with floral wallpaper, while the roof was little mottled. There was not much furniture and one can see all the things wher slightly old. The only thing that Lu Zhou could brag about was the outdated wardrobe and dresser in the room.

The wardrobe and dresser were brought back from the second-hand market at the cost of 80 yuan when he moved here after his graduation. For this he was also praised by his girlfriend Wen Jing.

There where only few pieces of Vanke Eslite's men's clothing left in his closet, and his dresser was completely empty from very long.

Two hours ago, Lu Zhou had suddenly travelled back in time, when he first travelled back in time he was thinking what had happen to him but after some te he realised he travelled back in time.

Now he was laying on his sofa, trying to calm down his mixed feelings caused by travelling back in time, while his girlfriend Wen Jing was packing her luggage in the house.

"Lu Zhou, let's break up." Wen Jing dragged her suitcase out of the room and stated calmly.

Lu Zhou was stunned, thinking how he travelled back in the time on the day when his girlfriend had break up with him

For a few seconds, there were thousands of thoughts in my mind, but in the end I just said "Okay."

Wen Jing looked a little surprised and said, "You will not ask anything?"

At this time, Lu Zhou was in no mood to ask anymore. After all, the soul inside him, know what had happened in his future eight years, and there were more important things waiting for him to solve, so he waved his hand, "Everyone knows, I am in a mess and you are upset because of this."

"Um."

Seeing that Wen Jing was about to leave, Lu Zhou unconsciously got up to send her off, and he also wanted to help her carry the bag downstairs, "I'll send you off."

Wen Jing seems was little worried that Lu Zhou will suddenly turn around and entangle her, but in the end he didn't did anything to stop her.

Lu Zhou is somewhat understanding, and he didn't appear pretentious, and calmly said, "Well, I wish you happiness."

The two said goodbye.

In his previous life, when Wen Jing was packing her luggage, he begged for mercy in every possible way, forcibly dragged her when his begging was fruitless, he made a fuss about it, he was left alone in his house, and drank alone for the last night, while crying.

If you are used to being with another person, you will always be at a loss when you suddenly lose it, but if you are used to being alone, it will takes great courage to live together with another person.

He is now Lu Zhou from his future Eight years and he has completely different mind set that his past, and Wen Jing is in his memory, already had a husband and was a mother with children that he saw in the circle of his friends later.

At that time, he had long since he lost the emotion of his past year, and the breakup in his life that year was just like a spectator, recalling his emotions he had towards her from his past, was like tasting a bottle of old wine that has been brewed for many years.

Or maybe this was the soul of a thirty-year-old bachelor who was suffering from loneliness

He burn on of his cigarette.

Maybe if he was Wen Jing, he would have chosen the same choice, at least later on, she would have a happy life, Lu Zhou shook his head and thought.

Lu Zhou's father, Lu Yong guaranteed a usury loan to his old friend in 2010. Later on his old friend was in debt and chose to terminate it himself. Naturally, the lender did everything he could to urge the guarantor Lu Yong for money, and even all the harassment came to the rental house where Lu Zhou lived.

In the next few months, Lu Yong also lost his mind because of this.

In his previous life, due to his breakup, he even called Lu Yong while crying and complain when he was drunk.

Looking back now, Lu Zhou was full of guilt and sigh.

He needs money now, sooner he had the money the better.

Doing a regular Internet project requires a lot of time, money and manpower to develop, and it is not easy to make a profit in the initial stage.

"If it weren't for this debt, it would be possible to start some project. Right now, I can only choose to do some business which I am familiar that will grow in short time. After all, if I can't change my life after traveling back in time, then what's the point."

He didn't want to see his father hunched over in a short period of time, and become a few years older due it.

He wants to realize what he once pursued in his life and get back to track in his life.

Lu Zhou returned to his room, pulled out his chair and sat in front of the computer desk, letting his memory sway aimlessly, he was trying to remember all the things happen in the future.

He had travelled back in 2010 it was a special era if he really want to say anything about it.

Qiandu's Li Yanhong said at the Qiandu Summit held next year, "In China, traditional industries have limited understanding, acceptance and use of the Internet. There is one common phenomenon in traditional fields, that is they don't understand internet."

This is the first time that Chinese entrepreneurs have mentioned the term "Internet thinking" in a formal occasion.

At that time, Lu Zhou had also seen the video of this summit. He used to regard it as big thing and often talked about "Internet thinking", no matter where he was in work or daily life, as long as it could be related to anything.

But who could have predicted that there will a bloom in the mobile Internet? In the years to come, there will be huge rise in the Internet thinking, food delivery will be called O2O mode, gossip tabloids will be changed to We Media, statistical self-proclaimed big data analysis, office rentals are known as the Internet Incubation, ( TN -- O2O referred to Online-to-offline )

Later, even Li himself rarely used the word Internet thinking again.

After 2010, everyone was talking about the Internet, because this thing has deeply been rooted in the hearts of the people, any story started to come like flood to common people which was uploaded on the internet.

Lu Zhou continued to explore his memory.

Company like Ali express that was founded this year 2010 started to grow, and UU Kanshu finally stepped on the corpses of countless companies to reach the top, forming a three-nation system of search, e-commerce and social networking.

Some people started different company and some them become leader of company like 360, YY, Qunar, Tudou, 58, etc. ( TN -- they are all Chine based company)

And from 2010 to the upcoming year countless upstarts where born due to internet.

Rebs proposed the "Outlet Theory" in the future. Zhang Xiaolong, who has completed the Penguin mailbox, has started the research and development of prestige. Iqiyi was started as platform for different shows and movies.

The 3Q war, Gu Ge's withdrawal from the Huaxia market, and Alibaba's e-commerce dominance, entrepreneurs began to truly appreciate uses of internet.

For a time, many people were competing with each other, and the Internet was chaotic.

And even if Lu Zhou has the huge advantage of because of his future knowledge, it is not an easy task to browse with the giant which where able establish themselves in future.

"Time is not waiting for me! It's a pity that the beginning is difficult for me. At this time, Rebs was already a rich man through Jinshan's business, and behind Zhang Xiaolong is a huge penguin empire. They are thousands of step ahead of me." Lu Zhou thought.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou opened the Ali Mall. After confirming some of his thought, he slapped the table and said, "That's it, Xinlang scarf! It will help me get some quick money."
