Li Zetian first went to Apple's Taiwan branch to inspect, and then went to Microsoft's Taiwan branch. However, Microsoft's scale here is small, with only a dozen people. The main task is to develop the market, contact users, and provide technical support.
Personal computer is a new industry that is developing rapidly in Taiwan, and operating system and software are essential for personal computer. Therefore, it is necessary for Microsoft to set up a branch in Taiwan.
At present, personal computers only support English, not Chinese. The sales of Apple-ll personal computers in Taiwan are naturally affected to some extent.
However, within a few years, Chinese character encoding and Hanka will emerge as the times require.
As we all know, computers can only recognize 0 and 1, so people developed a computer coding system to form various permutations and combinations of 0 and 1 to form recognizable languages.
The United States developed the ASCII code, the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange", which can display modern English and other Western European languages. Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places are actively studying Chinese character encoding. However, Chinese encoding is much more difficult than English encoding.
There are three main difficulties:
The first is the huge number. The total number of Chinese characters has exceeded 60,000. Each Chinese character corresponds to a code, which is simply frightening. You know, there are only 128 ASCII codes in total.
The second is the complex shape of the characters, including the ancient and the present, the traditional and the simplified, and the normal and the different; and the strokes are very different, with a few strokes and as many as 36 strokes.
The third is the existence of a large number of polyphonic and polyphonic phenomena.
If the encoding of Chinese characters cannot be completed, then Hanka will be out of the question.
So far, the Chinese character encoding has developed rapidly, and Li Zetian has no need to worry about it at all. In 1980, the General Administration of Standards of China will issue the "Coded Character Set of Chinese Characters for Information Interchange", and a set of national standard GB2312 will be implemented in the following year.
Naturally, Li Zetian will not waste his financial resources to develop a set of Chinese character encoding, and then compete with the Chinese government for the Chinese character encoding standard. Let's not say whether this kind of thing is stupid or not. The research level alone is not necessarily comparable to that of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Old scientist, after all, this is Chinese character encoding, not English encoding! Furthermore, China has been studying Chinese character encoding since the 1960s. Is it too late to catch up now
In fact, when China releases the Chinese character code, just use it directly.
With Chinese character encoding, Hanka can be developed. Hanka is very profitable, a few thousand dollars a piece, but the cost is less than half. If nothing else, it has made two famous companies, Lenovo and Shi Yuzhu's giant company.
Because most Chinese do not speak English, the market for Hanka is huge!
However, Hanka is only a transitional product in the history of computer development. Even if there is no Hanka, as long as there is Chinese character encoding, the computer can also input Chinese characters. The reason why Hanka is popular is that in the early computer use, the processing power of the computer was limited. In order to improve the efficiency of the computer and reduce the frequent access to the memory in the process of inputting Chinese characters, the Hanka was developed. The use of Hanka can effectively improve the speed of the computer and reduce the occupation of computer memory space as much as possible. However, with the advancement of computer hardware and software technology, the processing power of the computer has been rapidly improved, and the Hanka has no place to be used.
In fact, Li Zetian had already thought about the issue of Hanka.
How can you not earn money
Instead of giving the money to the giant company, it is better to earn it yourself. Others make money just to show off and enjoy themselves, but the purpose of making money is to bring together the funds in the society, and then give back to the society, and strive to develop medicine, energy, education, technology, etc., and change the world! ! !
Of course, while giving back to society, society will also give back to me, making me richer, more status and influence...
History will remember a great man, yes, that is me - Li Zetian! ! !
…
When Li Zetian was talking with the person in charge of Microsoft Taiwan, Zhou Qiqi rested her elbows on the table, resting her chin in both hands, looked around boredly, and fell asleep directly on the table after a while. Fortunately, there is an air conditioner in the room, which is very warm and will not let Zhou Qiqi catch a cold.
Li Zetian talked with the other party for an hour before it ended. When he turned around, he saw that Zhou Qiqi had fallen asleep, so he couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, then stepped forward and patted her arm gently, calling her "Qiqi" twice to wake her up.
"Brother Zetian, have you talked about it?"
"Well, it's over! Let's go, Brother Zetian will take you to the playground now!"
"okay!"
When Xiao Qiqi heard the words, she was completely drowsy, and her little head nodded again and again, looking very happy.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, took her little hand, and walked outside.
The two first went to have a lunch, and then found a large amusement park.
Li Zetian took Xiao Qiqi to ride on the merry-go-round and bumper cars. She was quite happy at first, but when she passed the Ferris wheel, Xiao Qiqi suddenly became emotional and burst into tears. She kept shouting "Mom and Dad". Li Zetian couldn't help but scolded himself, why did he bring her here...
"Qiqi don't cry, shall we go home?" Li Zetian said softly.
Seeing the sad little Qiqi, Li Zetian felt very sad, hugged Xiao Qiqi in his arms, and quickly left You Leyuan. The driver had been waiting outside. After Li Zetian got into the car, he ordered, "Drive home!"
"Yes!"
In the car, Xiao Qiqi was still sobbing sadly, and Li Zetian comforted her while wiping away her tears. It took a while for her to be coaxed.
Xiao Qiqi was tired from crying and fell asleep in Li Zetian's arms before she knew it.
When she got home, Xiao Qiqi's mood was still very low.
Mother Xiao Zhixuan saw it at a glance, and then pulled Li Zetian to the side to ask.
Li Zetian smiled wryly and said, "I went to the amusement park today. After Qiqi saw the Ferris wheel, she suddenly remembered the scene where her biological parents had an accident..."
"You child, why are you so careless?" Xiao Zhixuan scolded.
"The amusement park was so busy that I didn't pay attention..."
"Okay, it's all over, pay attention next time, I'll go comfort Qiqi!"
"Um… "
Under the careful care of Li Zetian's family, Xiao Qiqi's face gradually returned to the old smile.
Soon, the New Year's Eve will come.
The family eats reunion dinner together, makes dumplings, and is happy.
In the evening, Xiao Qiqi was overjoyed when she ate a dumpling with coins.
Xiao Zhixuan smiled softly: "During the Chinese New Year, whoever eats dumplings with coins, whoever eats dumplings with coins, will be lucky. We Qiqi are the most blessed!"
Li Zetian smiled, of course he knew that the dumplings with coins were put into Xiao Qiqi's meal by his mother to make her happy.
After eating the dumplings, Li Zetian took Qiqi to the door to set off fireworks. He bought many kinds of fireworks, including shells, sprays, shelf fireworks, rockets, rotating fireworks, etc. When the fireworks ignited and burst into beautiful fireworks, Xiao Qiqi clapped her little palm and almost jumped up with joy !
Looking at the sparkling fireworks and stars in the sky, Li Zetian murmured, "Ah! Another year has passed..."
PS: Today is Tuesday, there are still three days to go on the shelves, ask for tickets
