Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: I am a world tycoon
Chapter 177
Today's weather on Hong Kong Island is not as sunny as usual, but rather a little gloomy.
When he woke up early in the morning, Chen Zhixue felt colder all of a sudden, and the thermometer on the wall showed that it was only 15 degrees Celsius.
Chen Zhixue hugged Shen Ru, who was still asleep, it was too comfortable to sleep under the quilt in this weather.
Shen Ru asked in a daze, "Zhi, what time is it?"
"Half past seven, it's still early, let's continue to sleep." Chen Zhixue kissed Shen Ru and said with a smile.
Shen Ru's squinted face showed a happy smile, and she shrank into Chen Zhixue's arms and continued to sleep.
HSBC works at 9 a.m., so she usually wakes up around 8 a.m., washes up, has breakfast, and drives there slowly.
After the alarm clock went off, the two of them got up quickly, brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and ate breakfast...
Chen Zhixue took today's latest newspaper and read it, after the opening ceremony of the Creation Research Institute, science and technology seemed to have suddenly become a hot topic on Hong Kong Island.
Everyone is concerned about the development and change of science and technology in the world, and it is only now that everyone knows that the technology in this world is developing so rapidly.
As a result, major news newspapers are mostly reporting on science and technology-related articles, and entertainment news is not cared for.
Oriental Daily: Human beings have landed on the moon six times, is the mature space technology ready for the construction of human moon bases?
Island Morning Post: What can computers do? Let's take a closer look at what it does and where it is headed.
......
For Chen Zhixue, these news are very boring, but for citizens who do not have much knowledge, they are very interested.
A piece of news attracted Chen Zhixue's attention, it turned out that the first cold air from Siberia to the south arrived on Hong Kong Island this morning, so the temperature on Hong Kong Island also dropped from more than 20 degrees Celsius the day before to 14 degrees Celsius.
Before Shen Ru went out, Chen Zhixue asked her to wear an extra coat so as not to catch a cold.
In the past few days, I have been running to the West Ring Road if I have nothing to do, and today Chen Zhixue plans to take a rest at home, the weather is getting colder, and I don't bother to go out.
At noon, Chen Zhixue, who was watching a movie at home, received a call from Yan Sibo.
"Boss, I have good news for you, this year's Nebula Awards have been announced, the English version of your novel "A Clockwork Girl" has won the novel award, and the American Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association has sent the award notice through the fax machine, and I will forward it to you. Yan Sibo said excitedly on the phone.
"Okay, you send it, I'll take a look. Chen Zhixue nodded with a smile, and was a little excited in his heart, but he didn't expect to win the award.
You must know that the winners of this Nebula Award are almost all Western authors, and Chen Zhixue's award this time can be regarded as a record.
This is also due to the fact that "Clockwork Girl" is selling so well in the United States, and with the full support of Random House, it is reasonable that the English version of "Clockwork Girl" won the award.
After Chen Zhixue hung up the phone, Yan Sibo soon sent an award notice to Chen Zhixue's fax machine.
After printing it out, Chen Zhixue carefully looked at the English award notice.
"Dear Mr. Huang Xiaoyi, we are the Nebula Award Working Group of the American Society of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers, and we are pleased to inform you that after selection, your work "Clockwork Girl" Winner of the 1974 Nebula Award for Novel, we will hold an awards dinner in New York on December 3rd, please call our staff before you are sure to be there, we will make arrangements for you to attend this dinner, during which all expenses such as transportation and accommodation will be fully borne by our association, looking forward to your arrival - the Nebula Award Working Group of the American Society of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers.
Chen Zhixue put down the award notice, and it seemed that he was going to the United States again.
Originally, he didn't plan to go to the Eastern Pacific Computer Exhibition, after all, he had just returned from the United States for more than a month.
But the award forced him to make another trip to the United States, and the date of the Eastern Pacific Computer Show was November 30, which is very close to the date.
In this way, Chen Zhixue plans to follow Zhang Zhongmou to participate in this computer exhibition, which can be regarded as seeing the scientific and technological level of this era.
"Brother Zhang, I should go with you to the United States this time, and you can help me book a ticket by the way. Chen Zhixue said with a smile.
"Oh, didn't you say you didn't want to go?" asked Zhang Zhongmou curiously.
"My novel The Clockwork Girl won a Nebula Award, and I need to go to the awards dinner, and by the way, I'll go to the United States with you. Chen Zhixue said with a smile.
"Boss, I also know this "Nebula Award", and I basically buy the award-winning novels every year, I didn't expect you to win this award, boss, it's really amazing, you should be the first Chinese to win this award. Zhang Zhongmou was very surprised.
"Then I'm really breaking history. Chen Zhixue said with a smile.
"The American branch of Genesis Semiconductor will help us set up the exhibition hall, we only need to arrive in the City of Angels in California before the opening, my arrangement is the ticket on November 28, then I will ask the company's staff to help you book the ticket. Zhang Zhongmou said on the phone.
"Wait a minute, I'll call Shen Ru first and ask her if she is going, and I'll tell you when I get back, if she goes, I'll book the tickets for both of us." Chen Zhixue said suddenly.
The last time I went to the United States with Zhu Qianwei, I went for more than half a month, and when I came back, she said that it took several days, and this time Chen Zhixue didn't plan to go to the United States for long, probably only about a week, so he wanted Shen Ru to follow him.
Subsequently, Chen Zhixue called Shen Ru, and Shen Ru, who was working at the Stanley branch, quickly answered Chen Zhixue's call.
"Zhi, why did you call me when you were at work, is there something wrong?" Shen Ru asked strangely, this is still an unprecedented thing.
"Baby, I'm going to the United States again in a few days, do you want to go with me?" asked Chen Zhixue.
"Ah, didn't you just come back from the United States? Why do you want to go over again? Is it a matter of work again?" Shen Ru was very strange.
"I'll tell you the good news, I won the Nebula Award, and I was invited to the awards banquet over there, don't you want to see your boyfriend's handsome appearance on stage to accept the award?" Chen Zhixue said with a smile.
"Ah, this is really good news, then I must go, last time you left me alone on Hong Kong Island for more than half a month, this time you can't leave me alone. Shen Ru said directly.
