Chapter 152 What the hell is a blessing penguin?
"Hey, Bro. How are you doing at Stanford?"

"John, you are absolutely right. There are cutting-edge technologies and countless wonderful ideas here. This is simply my paradise!"

"It seems like you adapted very quickly! You should have nothing to do this weekend, right?"

"It's okay! I usually stay in the dormitory or the library on weekends."

"Would you be interested in being my guide at Stanford?"

"John! Are you coming to Stanford? I'm so happy! When is it specifically? Saturday or Sunday?"

"Uh! Let's make it Saturday for the time being. If the time changes, I will notify you in advance!"

“Great! What attractions in Stanford do you want to visit? I recommend the Hoover Memorial Tower”

In the next few days, Liu will travel back and forth to the University of Southern California, the boxing gym and the Irvine Villa step by step.

Rooney's lifting and training plan for him has been released, and the diet has also changed.

In order to maintain General Liu's best condition while increasing weight, Rooney followed the strategy of running fast in small steps and helped him gain weight bit by bit.

Liu Jiang quickly adapted to this rhythm and began to slowly gain weight.

The weight limit for professional boxing middleweight is 160 pounds (72.6 kg).

Based on General Liu's physique, Rooney suggested that he maintain his usual weight at around 168 pounds (76.2 kg).

In this way, losing weight before competition will not be strenuous and will have minimal impact on the body.

Since Liu Jiang entered the professional boxing world, he has not done anything like extreme weight loss.

On the one hand, it is because he has absolute confidence in his own strength.

On the other hand, he really didn't want to cause physical damage and endanger his own health.

His weight has always been well controlled, and at his heaviest he was only 3 kilograms more than the weight limit for his weight class.

It's easy to lose just this little weight. You can do it by eating less and moving more.

Liu Jiang had no reason to refuse Rooney's suggestion and he readily accepted it.

Time flew by and it soon came to Saturday.

Liu will take Martin, Chris and several members of the security team to Stanford University.

Stanford University (also known as Leland Stanford Jr.) is a very famous private research university.

It is located in the city of Palo Alto in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in California, between San Jose and San Francisco, close to the technology 'Holy Land' Silicon Valley.

Stanford University covers an area of ​​approximately 33 square kilometers (8180 acres) and is one of the largest universities in the United States.

Li Ziang stood on the lawn next to Palm Avenue, excitedly waving to Liu Jiang and his group.

"John, here!"

Liu Jiang wore a pair of huge Ray-Ban sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He was simply disguised, but he was still recognized at a glance.

"Keep your voice down! I don't want to be surrounded by people!"

He walked quickly towards Li Ziang and made a silent gesture.

The latter chuckled lightly and led General Liu and his party around the campus of Stanford University.

After visiting several famous scenic spots, Liu Jiang finally got to the point.

"Bro, are there any startups popping up in your school recently?"

Li Ziang thought for a while and named several start-up companies and the products they launched.

Unfortunately, the companies and products introduced by the other party did not make Liu Jiang feel any familiar.

General Liu still refused to give up and asked Li Ziang to take him to see these start-up companies on the spot.

Li Ziang did not refuse and took the other party straight to the destination.

After visiting one by one, Liu Jiang frowned. These start-up companies were similar to those that Chris had found before.

Every concept seems to be advanced and full of potential. But General Liu had never heard of it, and he didn't even feel familiar with it.

"John, are these companies bad? Why are you looking so grim?"

Li Ziang caught a glimpse of the other person's frown and asked.

“It’s not that they’re bad, I just feel like these products are a bit boring and don’t attract my attention.”

General Liu carefully considered his words and did not want to appear too sharp.

After pondering for a while, Li Ziang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the other party with bright eyes.

"John, I know a very interesting website called AuctionWeb."

"This is an auction website that facilitates communication between collectors and enthusiasts."

“People can meet friends with the same hobbies through this website and can conduct transactions on the website.”

Liu Jiang was instantly interested in social networking + online shopping? Isn’t that a combination of Penguin and Taobao? Lucky Penguin?

"Tell me carefully, which startup company launched this website?"

Li Ziang was stunned for a moment, he was really not sure about this.

"I only know that the webmaster of the website seems to be named Pier Omidyar, but I don't know the rest."

After writing down the name, Liu Jiang glanced at Chris behind him, who nodded knowingly.

"I want to take a look at this website first. Is there a computer with Internet access nearby?"

General Liu looked at Li Ziang, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"There is a computer in my dormitory with Internet access. It's not far from here."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Li Ziang took Liu General to his dormitory. The dormitory was well organized and looked very neat.

This is a two-person dormitory, and Liu Jiang did not see his roommate.

After inviting everyone to sit down, Li Ziang skillfully turned on the computer and logged into the AuctionWeb website.

Liu Jiang carefully observed the page of this website. Some pictures of Pez candy boxes, Barbie dolls and other items were slowly loaded.

The layout of the page looks primitive, even a little cluttered.

The price tag at the bottom of the picture made Liu Jiang feel a little familiar.

Watching Li Ziang click on a picture of a laser pointer, Liu Jiang couldn't help but speak.

"This laser pointer looks broken!"

Li Zi raised his head and said, "Some guys just like to collect this kind of stuff."

He pointed to the SOLD label stamped below the picture.

"Look! This laser pointer has been sold for US$14.83!"

Liu Jiang nodded. He saw that there were interactive messages between buyers and sellers below the picture. The content was very interesting.

This online trading model was certainly not uncommon in previous lives.

But at this time, it is still quite eye-catching.

However, I have never heard of the name AuctionWeb.

It seems that this website probably changed its name later or simply collapsed.

In any case, let Chris collect information about AuctionWeb first.

Once you have a thorough understanding, you can decide whether to invest or not.

After making up his mind, Liu Jiang gradually calmed down and looked away from the computer screen.

　Dear readers! Please give me monthly votes and recommended votes! Looking up information is really a headache!
