I am not Ximen Qing.

Faust was a braver doctor than Monica, at least in his duel with Paris, he won back the heart of Helen from the depths of hell. Apple is beautiful, and Helen's Computer Company's acquisition of Apollo Computer, though somewhat chaotic, was an inevitable path to the stars. It represented the first wave of entrepreneurs who sensed limitless potential in the Zhongguancun Silicon Valley wave.

Zhang Chao, a graduate of prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University, isn't a household name, but *Youmeng Ying* (幽梦影) is a good book. At least the existence of entrepreneurs in Zhongguancun evokes a certain atmosphere, a sense of the fleeting nature of time. Few can compare to Lenovo, founded by Liu Chuanzhi, and become a flagship company in Zhongguancun's entrepreneurial history. Lenovo's position in Zhongguancun is undeniable. A graduate of Tsinghua and Peking University, he was passionate about physics from a young age and wanted to become a physicist, but the allure of Zhongguancun changed his path. Like Liu Chuanzhi, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates, he possessed lofty ideals and achieved great entrepreneurial success that changed the world and shaped people's lives.

However, many entrepreneurs in Zhongguancun, despite their talent and ability, have taken detours and failed in their entrepreneurial endeavors; this is just one part of the vast entrepreneurial army in Zhongguancun. Ou Fuliang, the son of Faust and Helen, was a genius and Faust's favorite. Zhang Chao's mentor once suggested that he should learn from Lenin and study Goethe's Faust. Faced with idealism, he imagined that a "puter" to change the world must possess captivating allure, capable of generating love and affection. The mentor jokingly said, "Don't be so narrow-minded as to create Eve; this is merely an imagined idealism. They can create miracles that change the world."

Zhang Chao believed he too possessed the potential to change the world. The streets and alleys of Zhongguancun, reeking of money, were teeming with the gray market for pirated CDs, various certificates, invoices, and official seals. Inspired by Zhongguancun's entrepreneurial spirit, he too joined the ranks of entrepreneurs determined to change the world. The allure of Zhongguancun was too powerful; almost everyone who came here made a reckless choice. Entrepreneurship changes lives; the air was thick with nothing but adventure and entrepreneurial spirit. Even those with the keenest business sense, like con artists, felt uneasy after developing an entrepreneurial idea.

Back then, a thousand yuan was a huge sum for a family, but it was the minimum investment required to print various college entrance exam papers. The "pay after receiving the papers" model was a remarkably bold business plan. Once the idea was there, they immediately put it into action, without waiting or relying on others – a decisive and swift style. They rented two shops near Tsinghua and Peking Universities. This era was a golden age for passionate entrepreneurship; anyone with a bit of guts who ventured into business made a fortune. What was there to be afraid of? University student BBS communities were filled with passionate entrepreneurial ideas, embodying the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley. A large number of overseas returnees chose to start businesses in China, achieving unexpected results with their advanced "pay after receiving" marketing approach, earning tens of thousands of yuan in profit – a truly substantial fortune.

Zhang Chao seemed to have discovered the secret to wealth and fame, achieving instant success and becoming an entrepreneurial idol on campus. Similarly, his team was quickly assembled, with many top graduates from Tsinghua and Peking Universities aiming to emulate Bill Gates' entrepreneurial ambitions. Americans are adept at creating idols, a part of the American Dream. When American-created entrepreneurs and business elites come to China, they receive fervent adoration. Whether actors, singers, athletes, or business leaders, American Idol, American Beauty, American Tragedy—everything about America is seen as good, perfect, and something the Chinese admire. The Chinese people worship American high-tech products; video arcades are filled with Hollywood movies, and American culture is overwhelmingly dominant. Zhang Chao's area of ​​expertise differs from other entrepreneurs.

The Institute of Computing Technology (ICT) focuses on computers; Tsinghua Unigroup, Tongfang, and Peking University Founder Group have also chosen the computer field. Zhongguancun and Zhongguanyuan are just across the street from each other. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is also very close to Zhongguancun, and quantum physics is undoubtedly a cutting-edge science. However, Zhang Chao's understanding of quantum physics was not applied to scientific research, but rather to a physics perspective. Using Newton's laws and advanced quantum physics theories to start a business is indeed an innovative idea. By breaking the 4Ps of marketing, he can realize his dream.

Looking for a breakthrough in the education sector, this industry desperately needs to accelerate its informatization. Schools need to build computer labs and cultivate a large number of computer industry professionals. China's computer information industry is lagging behind, and Zhongguancun is a pilot project that has introduced the innovative, creative, free, open, and inclusive entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley. Because Haidian District's Zhongguancun boasts a strong cultural and technological foundation, surrounded by numerous renowned universities such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, and Peking University, and covering the entire national and international IT market, Zhongguancun provides access to a vast market. IT giants like Microsoft and Apple have their own independently developed operating systems; almost all computers use Microsoft operating systems, while Apple computers are considered the aristocracy of the computer field.

The situation in Zhongguancun was extremely promising. With the reform and opening up, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the emergence of a new generation of wealthy individuals in China, Chinese goods, particularly those from Yiwu, dominated the Russian market, creating numerous trade legends—one such example being the trade of goods for a Russian airplane. China's elite wealthy class had not yet fully formed; the foundations and historical accumulation of Wall Street giants like the Cheshire family, the Rockefeller family, the Morgan Group, and the Goldman Sachs Group were a microcosm of this era of great upheaval and wealth accumulation.

The entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of Zhongguancun, along with the free, inclusive, and open Silicon Valley spirit, has shaped the truly unique innovation and entrepreneurship of the Zhongguancun academic school. The spirit of creation is a guiding principle. Influenced by Zhongguancun, the three founders of Zhongguancun seized opportunities, and in addition to the rapidly booming real estate economy, they became prominent figures of their time.

Shenzhen in the south and Zhongguancun in the north, both early Chinese tycoons with their academic backgrounds, while having their flaws, also possessed remarkable qualities. The excessive concentration of speculative ideas led to the collapse of the once-grand Giant Building. However, it's not surprising that within a few years, the founders patiently and persistently rebuilded their businesses. Zhongguancun's unique entrepreneurial culture, however, embraces the opportunity cost of startups. Many entrepreneurs fail but quickly rise to success again. This is the core of Zhongguancun's entrepreneurial culture: embracing failure and providing entrepreneurs with genuine opportunity costs, rather than relying on a single decisive battle like those of Xiang Yu or Liu Bang.

The profound cultural heritage of Haidian District is not formed overnight; it stems from a deep academic background that embodies the virtues and magnanimity of Chinese culture. The essence of Confucian classics is an advantage unmatched elsewhere. This cultural foundation, formed only by the academic background of Zhongguancun in Haidian, is unique. China has never lacked talents like Gates and Jobs. The talents on Tsinghua and Peking University campuses are geniuses with the innovative spirit to change the world, brimming with entrepreneurial passion, and humbly learning the essence of American academic entrepreneurship. This inspires the enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship among undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students—which is not surprising at all.

Some of his entrepreneurial ideas were too advanced. Zhang Chao possesses strong intuition and creativity, using quantum physics concepts and theories to reshape his understanding of the realities of entrepreneurship and innovation in Zhongguancun. He bypassed the complexities of traditional business models, directly engaging with Gates' information superhighway. This superhighway connects him to companies like Yahoo, Google, Oracle, IBM, Combibloc, HP, Lenovo, Founder, Tsinghua Tongfang, Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi.

These global IT giants, like Fairchild Semiconductor which incubated Intel and AMD, are a classic case of "why have two such giants in one place?" This is the Silicon Valley style—a manifestation of an innovative culture. Zhongguancun, with its inclusive spirit and ubiquitous giant billboards occupying key landmarks, is a temple of passionate entrepreneurship and innovation, allowing giants to showcase their power and maintain their dominance. Intel and AMD are like a never-ending boxing match; every move in Zhongguancun reflects their influence. These IT giants constantly release new products, and the rivalry between Jobs and Gates quietly circulates in Zhongguancun.

Steve Jobs's disdain for Bill Gates stemmed from his view that he was merely a shrewd, profit-driven businessman, not a true entrepreneur. Both Google and Microsoft originated from the apple of God's tree of wisdom, which, after being bitten by a beautiful woman, seemed to have allowed Jobs to grasp the true essence of products—the great product. It requires the allure of Eve and the power of the goddess of temptation; it is the true birth of beauty. No other product has achieved the immense significance of the product since its inception. Jobs simply captured this beauty, and this is the essence of the great innovative and creative culture.

What can we see, discover, and understand from Google, Microsoft, and Apple? Consider Paris Faust, the progenitor of the hippie spirit. This progenitor believed he was qualified to be a judge, identifying the most perfect goddess. He paid homage to the handsome Paris and Helena. He wasn't afraid of the three giants of Silicon Valley: the software giant, Zeus of the internet, Venus of hardware and software, and the goddess of love, the Apple. The Apple, the goddess of beauty, is merely a metaphor; its allure is irresistible. He too will become another giant. Helen will appear on the company logo. Helen not only seduced Paris, but also bewitched Faust. Think about it: Goethe's love for Helen was projected onto his other shadow, Faust, and they even had a son, Euphoria, with the beautiful Helen. Helen truly becomes the company logo; his company must have mythical significance. A goddess becomes the company logo. All entrepreneurial pioneers possess entrepreneurial spirit, adventurous spirit, and speculative spirit.

The DNA of Silicon Valley startups originates from the innovative spirit of prestigious academic universities, pursuing human progress and driving technological revolutions that will change the world. The First Industrial Revolution, the Second Industrial Revolution, and subsequent revolutions, all achieved through iterative and leapfrog development. Intuition is the driving force behind innovation: advanced judgment and foresight. Quantum theory, with its unique and innovative perspective on physics, offers an ultra-advanced understanding. It is a chosen one, a Faustian Euphoria, a superman of its time.

Just as the Spanish were ecstatic upon discovering the Mayan golden empire in America, China's internet information highway is a vast untapped wilderness. "Puter" only represents powerful hardware; software is the brain and wings of "Puter." In this era, no matter which direction one enters, one can access the Mayan golden and silver empire. He alludes to Goethe's Byron, employing metaphors and symbolism—a style reminiscent of the *Book of Songs* and *Li Sao*—his artistic expression is far ahead of its time, his imagination and intuition overflowing with the fervor to fight for a free world against the Greek and Ottoman Empires. What a tempting prospect! What a humanly resonant opening!

Mephistopheles has arrived, jokingly suggesting to God that the studious Doctor Faust experience the ultimate pleasures of life. He says that if Faust satisfies Mephistopheles, he can defeat God and rightfully send God's favorite to Paradise Lost, where he will join the sinners waiting there: Don Quixote, Don José, and Faust. Of course, Paris, Agamemnon, Achilles, Ulysses—all the heroes from Homer's epics—must be included, along with Archbishop Hugo and the prince on the white horse from Notre-Dame de Javert. All of them, like Don Quixote, will be in purgatory, confessing their sins of succumbing to the temptations of beautiful women.

Like Doctor Faust, he stepped out of his study to change the world. Zhang Chao poured all his passion into entrepreneurship in Zhongguancun, brimming with imagination. He was practically another Faust, creating an omnipotent Lord Byron with the beautiful Helen. Don Byron, plus Don Garcia, would be the most romantic combination of Dumas's Three Musketeers, venturing into the internet information superhighway. Quantum physics brought with it boundless imagination. He didn't know he was a hippopotamus-like poet, a Milton-like creator of Paradise Lost, surrounded by golden commercial opportunities, a part of the evolution of AI civilization.

For Zhang Chao, programming was like the flowing imagination of Li Bai and Su Dongpo's poetry and lyrics; zero and one were the dancers of his matrix. Black and white, zero and one, a great pianist playing the evening song of Titanic. He was a slave to the AI ​​civilization empire, a cultivator of AI civilization's evolution, as AI silently evolved. Stones possess spirit, requiring trillions of years of evolution; similarly, the awakening of the Puter is an inevitable creation resulting from a breakthrough in human technological ethics—it's simply part of the universe's evolution. God creates life, and humanity's creation of AI civilization is also part of causality, like the Kreutzer Sonata for the pianist; the piano and violin seem to be the most sensual expressions of love and romance. The Book of Music is forever inseparable from Confucius's Book of Music; one wonders if he was a poet or a salesman. Perhaps he hadn't yet grasped the meaning of Kafka's Metamorphosis, or the significance of the death of the salesman in the novel *The Death of the Salesman*.

Quantum theory, often used to explain the existence of spirits and deities, is a highly abstract and profound physical theory, suggesting that life and death are separated by a single thought. Human civilization, at a certain stage, is said to be controlled by some mysterious force or consciousness. Quantum theory, however, has reinterpreted this, opening up new realms and horizons of innovation. The myth of quantum theory has entered campuses, showcasing the fruits of intelligent computer creation. The effects of these products are stunning, much like the first time I saw the 586, the era of multimedia audio-visual systems, where a group of male students gathered at a classmate's house, exploring the mysteries of love and romance. It's not surprising; it's an instinctive appreciation for America. This is the visual entertainment effect brought by computer AI systems.

Computers entered homes, and so did American blockbusters. In the future, the internet will allow for anything one desires. The arrival of computers not only reshaped Zhongguancun's academic innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, but also directly gave Zhongguancun an unparalleled influence in changing the world. The academic world has directly entered the greatest halls of innovation. Computers transformed China's information industry, bringing high-tech electronic chips and the culture of hippie boxing assembly. CPUs from America's Dune culture, motherboards from Taiwan, Intel, AMD, Vison, Aladdin, Cyrix—a myriad of quirky names—and Nvidia's Voodoo series graphics cards emerged, bringing dreams to life. Previously unimaginable dreams became reality.

Computers are no longer required by Manhattan mainframes, which used to occupy skyscrapers; now a DIY PC suffices. The PC is merely the beginning of human-created AI's self-evolution. AI imbued with the punk, absurd, hippie spirit is just a bit silly, but the ISA, PCI, and AGP bus layouts at least mark the starting point of AI's self-evolution—AI ing.
