Fast or slow life

16 milliseconds, this is the time for the hummingbird to wave its wings once, and it is also the time for the ultimate pursuit. The protagonists of the story are Vincent, a enthusiastic dreamer who is good at communication, and Anton, a smart and loyal programmer. The two brothers are in order to realize the fastest transaction time in the financial sector from Kansas to New York. Anton gave up the high-paying position of the original large company, risked being held accountable by the original company, left his wife and daughter, and devoted himself to technical research; Vincent was full of enthusiasm and strived for all resources, time and contacts. Repairing the cables, even when the stomach cancer was found to be in poor health, still walked in the forefront of the whole team, and still worked when being carried into the ambulance or the operating room, leaving a way for the team. "We were eliminated, but we succeeded." Maybe some success doesn't need to care about the result, it's hard to get the best with your best. In the story, in addition to being moved by the protagonist's inspiration, dedication, loyalty, and never giving up, I was also amazed by the rapid changes in the capital market. How many outstanding moments can be produced in one millisecond, a millisecond that you think is inconspicuous. Sometimes, you also need to slow down, slower.
