Li Zetian could only express regret for the other party's kind retention. After hanging up the phone, he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep. After enough sleep, I have the energy to develop the BASIC language the next day.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a week has passed.
The exam is going to be held tomorrow, and tonight, the Primal-Scream streaking event of Harvard University is grandly opened!
Steve Ballmer finally failed to convince Li Zetian to follow him to go streaking, so he went alone.
There was a very lively sound outside the dormitory building, and Bill Gates stood in front of the window and looked down. It's a pity that the floor is a bit high and can't see clearly.
"Chronos, how about we go down to see the excitement?" Bill Gates came to Li Zetian's room and suggested.
Li Zetian thought to himself, are you going to watch the fun or the naked bodies of the girls
"Bill, do you want to see a girl's naked body~~~? Go it yourself, but I have a girlfriend, and spiritual infidelity is also called infidelity, do you understand? Oh, you have never been in a relationship. People say it for nothing..."
"..." Bill Gates was speechless, almost crying without tears.
Li Zetian just finished speaking, suddenly, he thought of something, Yu Jingqiu would not go to the fun or participate in Primal-Scream streaking activities... He immediately picked up the phone and was about to call Yu Jingqiu to ask, but he still Without dialing, she immediately put it down, thinking, Yu Jingqiu is a conservative traditional woman, how could she go to Primal-Scream streaking event? Indeed, Yu Jingqiu has been staying in the bedroom to read books and review... In fact, in this era, Chinese girls are not as open as they were in 2016, not to mention participating in Primal-Scream streaking activities, even if they go to see the fun, there are not many people.
Li Zetian did not hear anything outside the window, and continued to immerse himself in his BASIC language.
He didn't know if his rival, MITS, was already making the Altair-8800 computer, and he had to hurry up and get the Apple-l out in front of it.
…
…
Recently, the chairman of MITS, Roberts, was frowning and couldn't sleep at night. The company's account had a deficit of more than 200,000 yuan. Produce a new generation of personal computers for computer hobbyists! ! !
MITS was originally the first company in the United States specializing in the production and sale of calculators. The business was booming and the profits were rolling in. The company quickly expanded to more than 100 people. However, the good times did not last long. In 1970, the giant Texas Instruments also began to get involved in this market, and other companies also wanted to take the opportunity to make some oil and water, and the price war broke out. There was a proverb at that time: "Don't be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of the earth, just be afraid of the big price cuts in Texas." Faced with the pressure of these giants, MITS is of course unable to withstand the pressure, and the company must find another way.
In the early morning of May 20, 1974, Roberts took the car to the bank again. Now only the bank can give him a loan, MITS company has the chance to survive and develop. Although he has been rejected by the bank many times, he still does not give up.
Bank of America.
"Mr. Smith, the 8080 microprocessor released by Intel Corporation on April 1st, this kind of thing does not seem to have a good use, but for me and some veteran electronic engineers, it is simply wonderful!!!" Roberts said excitedly. A middle-aged man with a serious face in a suit said, "It integrates a set of primitive instructions - the 'instruction group' in the firmware, there are numbers and logic units, there is a clock, temporary storage registers, if I add external Memory, input and output devices, and circuits are connected together to form a tiny computer that is comparable to a commercial computer!
Mr. Smith, please believe me, the chip will bring about a complete revolution, the computer will become smaller and cheaper, it will appear in every home like a TV, it will be an incomparable Huge market! ! ! "
After Roberts finished speaking, Hank Smith was moved. He was a bank manager who was very keen on technology investments. At this time, he asked, "Are you sure that MITS can produce this kind of microcomputer?!"
"I'm very sure, Mr. Smith! I can assure you with my profession and character that I can definitely do it!" Roberts said proudly.
"Okay, Mr. Roberts, please wait outside for a while, a few of us will discuss it and give you an answer right away!"
"OK, all right!"
Roberts stood uneasily in the corridor outside the door, waiting for the judgment of the God of Fate.
A few minutes later, Mr. Hank Smith opened the door and said to Roberts with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Roberts, after our deliberation, we have decided to give MITS a loan of $65,000!"
"Oh, thank God, MITS is saved!" Roberts was very excited.
He quickly walked over and hugged Hank Smith: "Thank you!"
Smith smiled and said, "It was your sincerity and ideas that moved us!!"
…
At this moment, Li Zetian was taking the exam in the examination room. He obviously did not know that Roberts had instigated his three-inch tongue to persuade the bank to lend to MITS. Soon, MITS would start to develop the Altair-8800 computer. Under the influence of the butterfly effect, perhaps, the Altair-8800 computer was released earlier than the previous life.
A few days later, the final exam was finally completed, and Li Zetian also successfully completed the writing of the BASIC language. Then, he went to register the copyright of the BASIC language. At the same time, he registered in the name of Umbrella Company (Umbrella, Zhetian Company). A subsidiary company named Microsoft, that is, Microsoft Corporation, and then "sold" the BASIC language that he wrote to Microsoft Corporation!
Umbrella holds 70% of the shares, and Li Zetian personally holds 30%.
The purpose of this is to hide Li Zetian's shareholding in Microsoft. In the future, when Bill Gates, Paul Allen and others are brought in, Li Zetian will not take too many shares, so that they will not feel good!
The trademarks all follow the LOGO of the previous Microsoft Corporation, the founder of the four-leaf clover, with the words "Microsoft" below. Of course, Umbrella's LOGO is the classic umbrella LOGO of the previous life, and Li Zetian likes this LOGO very much, it looks very cool! ! !
After completing a series of preparations, the final exam results came out. Except for computer and mathematics, Li Zetian's other courses were sloppy, and even the music course was just as bad. Everyone was shocked!
"Is this still the musical talent we know?" People from the music department questioned Li Zetian's musical talent!
If Li Zetian was asked to write songs, it would be no problem, it would be easy to do, but the music course required a lot of professional music knowledge, and Li Zetian didn't have time to learn these, how could he do well in the exam
Not long after, the music department began to spread rumors that the song that Li Zetian sang at the New Year's Eve party that day was actually written by someone else. He was just stealing someone else's song, and he was very capable of pretending to be coercive, deliberately showing it on stage. A gesture of being quick-witted and writing songs on the spot!
If he has real talent and real learning, how could his music test scores be so poor? !
The doubts became louder and louder. As soon as Chen Ruoxi heard the news, he felt a sense of schadenfreude, and then walked to Yu Jingqiu's room and said to Yu Jingqiu in a victorious tone: "Yu Jingqiu, have you heard, Li Zetian's That song "My Chinese Heart" was plagiarized from other people's works, and now it has been spread all over the city, I am afraid everyone in the music department and Harvard Chinese circle knows it!!!"
Yu Jingqiu calmly took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Chen Ruoxi, and said, "Take it and see, he also wrote it!"
