Li Zhetian's three roommates came back very late, and as soon as they came back, they told their romantic affairs. Li Zhetian listened to it for a while, then went to sleep, feeling that he was not on the same channel as them.
The next morning, while the others were still sleeping, Li Zhetian had already woken up. After washing up, he went out alone to familiarize himself with the environment of Harvard University. At the same time, I also hope to meet the girl named Chen Ruoxi last night. In fact, Li Zhetian was obsessed with her, and her mind was full of her last night! It's a pity that since that parting, I haven't seen her for a long time.
On the third day, the school officially opened. In addition to music, literature, history, and economics, which are compulsory courses, Li Zhetian took elective courses such as mathematics, computer, and electronic engineering!
Nietzsche once said: "Only geniuses and lunatics can enjoy loneliness!"
Li Zhetian is a genius and a lunatic. Once he starts to study, he will forget to eat and sleep. In the eyes of others, including his roommate, Li Zhetian is a nerd who doesn't know how to enjoy college life, participate in social activities, or pick up girls.
However, Li Zhetian himself enjoyed this state and enjoyed it. And because of this, Harvard University in the United States is talented, but he can stand out, and even a lot of people have been paying attention to him secretly, Bill Gates is one of them.
Bill Gates is a law student, but he also enrolled in math classes, sometimes several classes in one large classroom. The professor will ask some math problems in the class and ask the students to answer them on the spot. Bill Gates' math talent is undoubtedly very strong. However, there are always two people in the class whose math ability is better than him. One is called Steve Ballmer, and the other is Li Zhetian from China!
Steve Ballmer participated in the mathematics competition in high school and won the top 10 in the United States, won the Harvard Mathematics Department scholarship, and obtained a perfect score of 1600 in the SAT test of the US college entrance examination. He is a mathematical genius.
What surprised Bill Gates was that Li Zhetian was a music student, but his mathematical attainments far surpassed the two of them.
There is a saying, "People gather by like, and things are divided by groups!"
In less than a month, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and Li Zhetian soon came together.
It was a math class on the morning of September 21. The math professor gave everyone a set of difficult exam papers for everyone to do as homework.
Li Zhetian, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, who finished first, were praised by professors. The three also met and became friends.
Steve Ballmer is an active member of the school, while Li Zhetian and Bill Gates are even more like-minded, both otaku.
When Bill Gates learned that Li Zhetian was very interested in computer programming and his skills were not bad, he offered to move to a dormitory to live together.
He excitedly said to Li Zhetian, "Zhetian, move in and live together!!!"
Li Zhetian had goosebumps all over his body when he heard this at first. My brother's sexual orientation is normal, so I don't want to be gay! However, looking back, Bill Gates' sexual orientation is normal, no problem, he shouldn't be bent because of me...
"Okay!" Li Zhetian nodded and agreed. First, he could get closer to Bill Gates, and secondly, he couldn't chat with three roommates including Charles Eleanor.
Bill Gates has two roommates. They are very willing to change places with Li Zhetian. Living with a nerd like Bill Gates has no passion. Living with 3 boys from the music department is much cooler. ! There are many beauties in the music department, and dormitory parties are often held!
Just don't be too happy!
And Steve Ballmer learned that Li Zhetian moved to Bill Gates' dormitory, and he moved in later.
Apart from classes, Li Zhetian spent the rest of his time either in the dormitory or in the computer room of the university, and even slept in it for several nights. So much so that the students who came to class the next day were stunned to find snoring coming from the computer room. Of course, this incident has since become a joke on the Harvard campus. And when Li Zhetian became famous, it turned into an extremely inspiring campus story!
…
Time flies.
On October 5, Li Zhetian received a letter from his parents, which stated that after they resigned and handed over the work of the newspaper and the school, they left Hong Kong on September 4 and went to Taipei, Taiwan. Father Li Chengzhi took over a small magazine under his uncle's name, and planned to serialize "Suspect X's Devotion" in the magazine on November 1, while mother Xiao Zhixuan also found a job in a local school and became a middle school musician. teacher.
"November 1st, which is next month. I don't know what the sales of "The Devotion of Suspect X" will be in Taiwan at that time?" Li Zhetian muttered, a little nervous, I was looking forward to it, but in general, after reading the letter and knowing that his parents were settled there, he felt at ease.
In Taiwan, the magazine Li Chengzhi took over was called "Life", which included essays, feature photos, women's fashion, etc. It was a monthly issue. After Li Chengzhi took over, he decided to add a novel column, delete prose and essays, and at the same time change the monthly magazine to a weekly magazine. After reading the prose and essays, you will read it. People will not expect anything else. In short, the user stickiness is not enough!
Weekly magazines have a huge amount of tasks, so the content must be prepared in advance, just like a TV station recording several episodes of variety shows in advance!
At this time, Li Zhetian put the letter carefully into the cabinet, then straightened his clothes and hair in front of the mirror, and prepared to apply for a job at a company later. Li Zhetian didn't have much money on him. The money from selling songs paid for his tuition. His parents gave him $1,000 for living expenses, but he "splurged" and bought chips, memory, circuit boards and other hardware. In this era, software engineers and hardware engineers have not yet been subdivided. An excellent engineer must be proficient in both software and hardware, and Li Zhetian can't do this. Needless to say, he has learned computer programming. Full of knowledge beyond this era, but hardware is his shortcoming. Therefore, he spent money to buy a lot of things and came back to do research.
If you don't have money, you can make money yourself. How can you reach out to your parents for money, big man? Li Zhetian had no intention of calling his parents to ask for money!
The company Li Zhetian was applying for was called American Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC Corporation of the United States). On January 5, 1970, DEC Corporation finally launched the PDP-11 computer. PDP-11 has a series of computing functions, easy operation, beautiful appearance, and longer service life than other computers. It quickly became a model for the small computer industry and a model for a generation of small computer design. The influence of DEC began to spread to every corner of the industry, spread all over the world, and finally stood out, broke through the shadow of this giant blue figure, surpassed all other opponents, and became IBM's number one challenger!
DEC has a branch in Boston, and this company was one of Bill Gates' favorite companies to apply for during his college days, because they sent helicopters to Boston airport to carry candidates to the company headquarters. Of course, this matter was learned by Li Zhetian from the biography of Bill Gates in his last life.
At this moment, Bill Gates is waiting for him at the door, and the two are going to apply for this company together.
