Su Yehao's mother was barely in her teens when his maternal grandfather had his youngest daughter.

Now that Su Yehao was already twenty-one, his youngest aunt still hadn't gotten married, traveling all over the world, making her home wherever she went for many years.

She'd run a small inn in the Fiji Islands, rescued stranded little penguins in Antarctica, surfed in Tahiti, renovated a manor in Scotland, selling it off once she got bored, and even spent half a year on a round-the-world cruise.

From the moment she was born, she'd never had any financial worries.

Now, she already owned thirty percent of the shares in the Borg Medical Group, and her investment account held nine figures. Independent, cheerful, and enthusiastic… she lived the life many people dreamed of.

Of course.

In the eyes of the old-fashioned Grandpa Tang, Su Yehao's youngest aunt was obviously abnormal for being over thirty and still unmarried.

Over the years, it had gradually become one of the old man's worries. Every time they met, he would argue with his youngest daughter, thinking that she should settle down at her age, often ending in unpleasantness.

When he suddenly heard that his youngest aunt had a boyfriend, Su Yehao only felt it was amazing.

He grilled his maternal grandfather for information, and after learning the details, he found out that the other party was in the foreign trade business, mainly importing and selling cars and electronic components.

Since most of the current electronic components were purchased from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, and Pengcheng was right next to Hong Kong, making imports convenient and affordable, the Huaqiangbei area was already quite bustling, filled with companies engaged in foreign trade imports.

Su Yehao had just arrived in Silicon Valley and hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet. Being disturbed by the old man completely ruined his sleep.

After hanging up the phone, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he simply got up, grabbed his laptop, and sent an email to the assistant's office, asking Assistant Zhuang Wei to arrange for someone to secretly conduct a detailed background check.

Then he checked other emails.

Among them was an acquisition invitation from the InterContinental Hotels Group, which had taken a fancy to several islands under the Maldives Global Resort Hotel Group and was willing to offer US$40 million to acquire them as a whole.

These islands were a gift for Nangong Tian, and besides, business was booming with the traffic brought in through Hong Kong Hao Tourism.

A mere US$40 million was not worth discussing at all, so Su Yehao simply asked the assistant's office to politely decline.

There was also a high-end real estate brokerage firm that tirelessly sent advertisements for luxury homes for sale around the world, as well as farms, ranches, islands, etc., and occasionally recommended artwork, wine, cigars, and other miscellaneous items.

Su Yehao didn't know how they got his email account, probably leaked from the bank. He occasionally browsed through them, finding it quite interesting.

For example, near Yellowstone Park in Wyoming, USA, a 1,200-acre farm including a villa, harvesters, and a small plane, was priced at only over US$9 million, and he estimated he could still haggle the price down.

In some foreign countries, there was a lot of land, few people, and abundant resources. When divided among everyone, welfare was naturally good, and land prices were not high.

Although it was cheap, Su Yehao wasn't planning to farm, so he wasn't very interested.

This company had tirelessly sent him email ads for half a year, and he hadn't bought anything yet. Today, he unexpectedly discovered that a luxury house on Barker Road on Hong Kong Island was also being sold through this company for US$13 million.

At first, he thought this price was quite good, but then he thought about it again and realized that it could not only be exchanged for 1,200 acres, or more than 7,000 mu, of Wyoming farmland, but also leave him with more than US$3 million.

In this light, land on the Peak of Hong Kong Island was indeed worth its weight in gold…

Lei Busi from Si Jiucheng also sent an email again, saying that Yinhai Weibo had been launched for trial operation and wanted to ask Su Yehao to try it out and give some feedback.

The email had been sent the day before yesterday.

He was in Sicily, Italy, at the time and hadn't checked his email for the past two days.

Su Yehao tried clicking on the link and unexpectedly found that this time in Silicon Valley, he could also open mainland websites, probably related to the progress of broadband construction in Si Jiucheng. The internet speed was more than just a little better.

Browsing through Yinhai Weibo, apart from the website being a bit rudimentary, it had a slight flavor of a certain future Sina Weibo.

The actor who played Erkang in the *Huanzhugege* TV series posted an advertisement promoting *Huanzhugege Part II*. The user's name was yellow and had the words "official certification" added to it, proving that it was the star himself.

Immediately afterward, Su Yehao swiped to a professor from a certain university, whose content mainly commented on the chaotic street vending in Si Jiucheng, and of course, there was no shortage of praising how clean and tidy the streets of New York and Tokyo were.

Leaving Tokyo aside for the moment, Su Yehao always felt like he had probably gone to a fake New York.

Just talking about roadside garbage, countless sanitation workers in Si Jiucheng worked hard day and night, their credit being erased by this professor in a few words, while instead praising the garbage-strewn New York.

Calculating the era, these people's arrogance was at its peak.

The German engineers in the sewers and the Japanese drinking toilet water would probably be repeated for another twenty years.

Yinhai Weibo had only been launched for a few days, and this group of people had already infiltrated it. Judging from the "cockroach principle," there must already be quite a few of them. The more Su Yehao thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary to firmly control search engines and social networking sites in his own hands, to prevent certain people from taking advantage of the situation.

He couldn't find the block function, so he just wrote it down in his notebook, intending to give feedback to Lei Busi later.

From the user's perspective, the block function was essential, otherwise, it would be strange if user favorability increased when seeing annoying people wandering around every day. The product would probably be a flop.

With the Pacific Ocean in between.

The network transmission speed was not only slow, but also particularly laggy. After clicking to the next page, it took half a minute for the text to slowly appear.

Su Yehao saw someone asking a question, writing, "I chose a chemistry major that I don't like in college. Does anyone know which industry has a more promising future for employment?"

Clicking in again took a long time to load, and the comments below said that civil engineering, medicine, and electrical information were more popular.

The marketization wave of the domestic real estate market was sweeping the country with a bang, and civil engineering suddenly became this year's popular major.

After logging into his Yinhai Blog account, he found that his account had already been real-name authenticated. Su Yehao typed a reply, saying, "Finance and internet software and hardware engineers will probably have higher incomes in the future and broad employment prospects."

Although the internet speed was slow, browsing Weibo was still quite interesting.

The netizens of this era basically spoke seriously, appearing very formal, and the hostility wasn't so strong.

He replied to several questions in a row.

For example, advising people to "buy a house as soon as possible, preferably in the new districts of first- and second-tier cities."

And "you can study abroad, but it's best to return to your country as soon as possible after graduation to find a good job and seize the opportunity for economic development," and so on.

In the blink of an eye, he looked at it for more than two hours. As the message bar in the upper right corner lit up, Su Yehao clicked in to read it and found that someone had replied to his comment, writing, "Where did this certified user come from? Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand. Software and hardware engineers? Be careful you can't find a job after graduation!"

Seeing this, Su Yehao immediately laughed and typed back, "Search my name with ToT."

A few minutes later, the other party replied again – "I'm sorry, I apologize for my remarks. I'm currently a junior majoring in geology. Is it too late to switch to a computer science major?"

Su Yehao thought for a moment and wrote with a smile, "It mainly depends on your interest…"
