  Chapter 4 Dad-level strength

  San Francisco is the West 8th District time, and Beijing is the East 8th District time.

  During daylight saving time, San Francisco is 16 hours behind the capital; in winter time, it is 15 hours behind.

  At this time, it is July, so daylight saving time is in effect.

  In the early morning, Xia Jingxing changed into sportswear and went to the playground for a run.

  Although it is still a holiday, you can still see a lot of people exercising on the playground.

  In addition to extremely high academic attainments, Stanford’s sports prowess is also well-known in the United States and even the world.

  In history, Stanford has trained a total of 335 athletes who have participated in the Olympics, and these athletes have won 243 Olympic medals.

  Take the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as an example. A total of 48 Stanford University athletes from the school and past athletes participated in the Olympic Games on behalf of their 8 countries.

  This number exceeds the number of athletes sent by any other college in the United States.

  These athletes won a total of 25 medals in the Beijing Olympics, three of which were won by student athletes who were still in school.

   Therefore, Stanford University is also known as "a world-class wonderful work combining sports and education", and the campus has a strong atmosphere for physical exercise.

  Stepping on the plastic track, Xia Jingxing controlled the rhythm and ran slowly.

  From time to time, a tall and long old black ran past him, turning him into a scum.

  He didn't care at all, he didn't know these people in general.

  In my last life, my body was too weak and I didn’t pay attention to physical exercise. I died young when I was only 36 years old. It’s sad.

  So in this life, he must take extra care of his body.

  After a few laps, he was already sweating, blushing and panting.

  This is also a common problem for many Chinese schoolmasters at this time. They usually spend their time on reading and don't pay much attention to sports.

  Fortunately, he usually plays basketball and rides to and from school. His physique is decent, otherwise he will get tired after running for one or two kilometers.

  In this way, he controlled his breathing rhythm and counted more than a dozen laps.

  After running for about 10 kilometers, he felt that his legs were a little heavy, as if they were filled with lead.

  So he stopped running, panting heavily, and started walking back to the dormitory.

  Today’s exercise ends here.

  In fact, he could run a few more laps, but he felt unnecessary.

  The effect of physical exercise lies in long-term persistence, rather than short-term breakthroughs.

  Furthermore, I have run too much for fear of damage to the meniscus.

   Back to the dormitory, he took a shower and ate breakfast, took out the phone, and dialed his father who was thousands of miles away.

   "Dad, are you off work?"

  Xia Yuan was reading the newspaper in the office to fish, and suddenly received an unfamiliar call with a strange number, which looked like a long list of area codes.

After    was connected, he heard the phone call "Dad". Then he realized that it was his son who was calling back from the United States.

  I thought my son would call back yesterday. The couple did not sleep for most of the night, so they kept the phone by the bed until dawn.

  The main reason is that I am not at ease, the child is only 18 years old, and it is the first time to go abroad.

  They originally wanted to accompany their children to school, but they were rejected by their son, saying that they would learn to grow independently.

   "It's still early, it's only 4 o'clock in the afternoon in Rongcheng."

   Xia Yuan, who received the phone call from her son, finally let go of her hanging heart, glanced at the time on her watch, and replied casually.

  "Is it morning in the U.S.? Have the admission procedures been completed? Are there any problems?"

  Xia Yuan’s mouth is like a machine gun, and there are several problems with sudden suddenness.

  Although there are many questions, the tone is very kind and full of care.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and answered questions one by one.

  "Is this the number you set up in the U.S.? I will go to the business hall to open an international call later."

  Xia Jingxing repeatedly said a few words "good" on the phone. He wanted to discuss one thing with his father, but at the moment he hesitated.

   Seeing that his son was not talking, Xia Yuan asked, "Why are you not talking? Is there something wrong?"

"Uh…"

  Xia Jingxing gritted his teeth, and clearly pointed out: "Dad, I want to do something, and I need a sum of money."

  Xia Yuan frowned. If he weren't familiar with the voice, he would have doubted whether he was his son on the phone.

  "What do you do? How much does it cost?"

  Without rushing to a conclusion, Xia Yuan feels that it is not too late to ask the question more clearly, and then it’s not too late to comment.

   "Isn't Stanford University having a strong entrepreneurial atmosphere? I want to make a website."

  "Doing a website?"

  Xia Yuan said in deep thought, that he is also considered an intellectual, not unfamiliar with the Internet and computers, and usually surfs the Internet, knowing that this is the future trend.

  It's just a website, and the investment cost is quite high.

  He expressed his personal opinion: "What kind of website do you want? You have only come to the United States now, and you are not familiar with the place. Why are you so anxious?

  My opinion is, wait a minute, for example, it’s not too late to decide to start a website when you are in your sophomore year and junior year.

  University courses are still very heavy, and your personal energy is also a problem. "

  Xia Yuan did not discourage Xia Jingxing's enthusiasm, but rather tactfully helped his son analyze it, hoping that he would delay the start-up time.

  Xia Jingxing smiled bitterly, he knew it would be like this.

  This is not more than ten years after starting a business, most families will not support their children to start a business during school, because parents are afraid of delaying more important studies.

  As for why he doesn’t talk about stocks trading?

  The reason is simple.

  A high school student who just graduated, became a stock **** in a blink of an eye, and had to use most of his family's savings to buy NetEase, vowing to earn 1,000 times.

  Parents might find it more nonsense and unreliable.

  It is very difficult to ask for money from home.

  Xia Jingxing will not threaten her parents, saying things like "If I don't give me startup capital, I will drop out of school."

   Asking for money, this is a technical job.

   "Dad, don't rush to conclusions."

  Xia Jingxing said unhurriedly, "Let me analyze it with you."

  The expression on Xia Yuan’s face was strange, both gratifying and funny.

  I am gratified that when the child grows up, he speaks according to the adult’s thinking.

   Funny is that the child has not really grown up, and he will not be persuaded.

No matter   , listen to it, and find a good excuse to reject it later.

  It is necessary to convince the son to dispel the thoughts without hurting the child’s self-esteem and self-confidence. An inner monologue from a Miyoshi father.

  "I want to make a website for international students."

  It’s interesting. Xia Yuan thought that his son would do portals, e-commerce, instant messaging... these tall websites.

  International student website, it sounds pretty good, it is more practical, fits the identity of the child, maybe it can make something famous.

  However, I'm sorry, the child, my dad is about to start probing.

  "The international student website has a broad concept and is in the form of a forum. You can post and discuss on it;

   Still talking about the portal news format, just publish some foreign news on it. "

  Xia Jingxing laughed when she heard it.

  Dad, although you claim to be on the cutting edge of the middle-aged men’s trend, you know the Internet and high-tech industries better than most of your peers.

  But, your understanding of the Internet...

  Ahem, it’s not a dad’s rank.

  ——————

  PS: I wish all old and new book friends and family members a happy festival and a happy family!

   Let’s talk about the new book "My Investment Era". It has been signed internally and is still going through the process. Everyone recommends, invests, and collects!

  No chapter was posted yesterday, because the third chapter was posted, which is more than 10,000 words. Some problems occurred in the review, so the editor helped to block it.

  Only released today, so I can continue to publish Chapter 4.

  Therefore, there is a reason why it was not updated yesterday.

  In fact, the new book was released on September 29, and it was only shown on the 30th yesterday.

  Updated later, it is still 4K words per day.

  The reason, everyone knows, the new book needs all kinds of data, so I don’t dare to update it like a great god, and it will be updated after it is released.

  (End of this chapter)
