Apple's Macintosh operating system uses a graphical user interface, which Microsoft does not have.

This makes the rumor that Gates plagiarized Apple's design quite credible in Chen Linzhi's view, but it seems that Jobs also got inspiration from other companies.

Chen Linzhi has not yet invested in Silicon Valley, but he often pays attention to the latest trends in Silicon Valley on weekdays, and the sales of this Macintosh computer are not good, and only 10,000 or 20,000 units are sold worldwide every month, which is far lower than the expectation before the listing.

Apple shareholders are rumored to be planning to force Steve Jobs to leave in order to save Apple's declining stock price. Gates maintains cooperative relations with large companies such as IBM and HP, and is slightly more comfortable, and his fame is temporarily not comparable to that of Steve Jobs, and of course not as good as Sam Walton and others.

The Silicon Valley tech community is a small and emerging market.

Some people are beginning to realize the importance of computers, but they mainly feel that these machines are only suitable for use in banks, stock exchanges, university research institutes, national highway traffic safety administrations, census bureaus, and other departments and institutions that need to calculate a lot of statistics.

The low level of technological development has led to the limitations of people's concepts, personal computers are too useless, almost whoever buys them regrets it, the screen constantly has dark bars slowly flashing from top to bottom, in addition to typing and drawing, the mini-games are pitifully rudimentary, and different floppy disks need to be inserted to run programs.

The keyboard layout is not bad for later generations, so Chen Linzhi is extremely fast when typing, and he is also handy when using a square mouse.

Zhao Bailu hadn't left yet, and said in surprise after reading it on the side: "Have you used a computer before? I can only achieve such a fast typing speed after practicing for a week, I heard that now when I go to some large companies to apply, they will use computer typing as a mandatory requirement, if you learn this, it will make your resume more competitive." ”

"I've tried to use it a few times in my hotel room, and the letter layout is similar to that of a traditional typewriter, and the female secretaries who can use a typewriter should be able to get used to it in a few days, and I'm going to move this machine to the company and put it at the front desk for the usher to use for registration and some textual work. ”

Chen Linzhi originally wanted to buy it for himself to play, but after actually experiencing it, he found it very boring and simply didn't want it.

At present, there are still typewriters produced by Wang An's computer company in his company, which is said to be a computer company, but in fact it is a typewriter for sale, and its decline is inevitable.

Contracts are generally typed out with a typewriter and then sent for copying, which is extremely inefficient, and the whole letter is invalid if you type it wrong. The contracts signed with Gao Boxue, Director Ma and others are all handwritten.

The social changes and development in the next 30 years or so are too fast, so fast that Chen Linzhi does not know what kind of life people are living in the 80s, and he will naturally perceive the existence of the generation gap.

Zhao Bailu smiled: "I haven't thought about what gift to ask my parents, now I have decided, I want a computer more than a car, the university is finally settled, I will get my driver's license during the holidays, and it is more convenient to ride a bicycle in the college." ”

"Don't rush to buy a computer, this thing is being updated too quickly, and the Macintosh, which was produced at the beginning of last year, will soon be outdated, you can borrow a school computer to study, save some money and buy a new model later."

I think it's best to have a car, and if you drive with your friends during the holidays, Harvard is near Boston, Massachusetts, right, and you don't have to worry about eating lobster throughout college. ”

Chen Linzhi finished groping for this Apple Macintosh computer and completely lost interest.

He began to take the Montblanc fountain pen given to him by Zhao Bailu to fill the ink, found a blank piece of paper to try, the writing was extremely smooth, and he practiced signing, the handwriting was too ugly in the past, and he wanted to redesign an English signature.

At this moment, Chen Linzhi asked, "Have you chosen a major?"

"It should be economics or government, I don't know which branch I have yet, it doesn't matter, I can find time to find another major I like, my parents have saved the university education fund for me, so I don't need to work like others to pay off student loans, there will be a lot of free time." ”

Zhao Bailu obviously has a plan for her future.

A girl like her is undoubtedly a little different from others.

Chen Linzhi told as a friend: "Do you still want to enter the political arena? There are too many intrigues and dark sides, although I think you can handle it well, but it is better not to get too deep." ”

"My mother strongly recommended the major, she often interacts with politicians, probably because she envies the power they can have, but I don't really like it. The formal enrollment process has just begun, and when the enrollment details of the specific disciplines come out, I will choose according to my interests, so as not to become a victim of my mother's desires. ”

Hearing her say this, she is very assertive, and Chen Linzhi's suggestion is undoubtedly redundant.

Downstairs, the doorbell rang one after another, accompanied by a knock on the door.

Chen Linzhi was about to open the door when a woman's voice came from outside, shouting with a smile: "Chen, my friend and I are already drunk, how about we have some more wine?

There was also the laughter of other girls.

This voice Chen Linzhi remembers that it was the British Airways flight attendants who met a few weeks ago, and they were a little crazy that night.

He made the common mistake of men - letting girls know where their home was.

In normal times, Chen Linzhi may be a little surprised, and the white rabbits obediently sent it to the door, but tonight Zhao Bailu accidentally came over, which is a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, it's just a friend, not a boyfriend and girlfriend, and in the presence of Anastasia, Chen Linzhi will go crazy.

With an embarrassed smile at this time, Chen Linzhi pretended to be calm and explained: "It should be my neighbors, maybe they just finished the party, wait for me for a while." ”

He went downstairs to open the door, only to find that there were three girls.

One of them was the one who got drunk last time and Roger couldn't get it.

If you invite them into the house, most of them will enjoy the happiness of everyone tonight, and it is not only the men who like to find excitement, but also the girls, and the drunken initiative to come to the door is enough to explain a lot of problems.

In fact, Chen Linzhi was indeed very excited, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.

He took out his wallet and took out two hundred dollars, and said to a certain Englishwoman who looked more sober: "You buy some wine first, go to the nearby Diresco Hotel and open a room, my sister is a guest at my house, I'll go to you later, okay?"

"Where is the Diresco Hotel, we don't know the way, why don't we just drink it at you." ”

A girl next to her followed, drunken and said, "On the way here, I saw a bar, or should we go to the bar and wait for you?"

It looks like he's really drunk.

Chen Linzhi wanted to nod, but the ghost made the gods realize that sending them to the bar now was tantamount to giving away the fat to their mouths.

After more than ten days away from the town of Bentonville, he changed his mind, not wanting to miss the opportunity to enjoy himself in time.

So he said, "Wait for me in a while, I'll take you to the hotel, it's only five minutes away, and then you wait for me there, and I'll send my sister home." ”

"Don't forget to buy wine. The girl laughed in an English accent.

"Well, I'm sure I won't forget. ”

Chen Linzhi went upstairs and lied to Zhao Bailu that he would send them home, and he would come back in a few minutes.

Zhao Bailu offered to leave, but he didn't stop him.

Let her wait for her at home and drive her home later, so that it is not safe to go back alone at night.

Quickly took the flight attendants to the hotel and opened a luxurious room for them to rest, Chen Linzhi kept making excuses to buy wine, and drove home to see off Zhao Bailu.

The heart is in a hurry, it is not good to show it on the face, Chen Linzhi is driving fast tonight, always pay attention to the police, so as not to be caught, then the loss will be great.

Zhao Bailu was smart enough to vaguely sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, thinking that it was really Chen Linzhi's neighbors, and he really sent them home.

On the way to the hotel, Chen Linzhi didn't forget to buy a few bottles of wine, plus a whole box of whatever.

When Chen Linzhi rushed back to the Diresco Hotel again, the wine bottle in his hand clanged.

The doorman remembered that he, an Asian who had just brought three girls, guessed what the smile was ambiguous, and congratulated him in advance on a pleasant evening.

After listening, Chen Linzhi gave the other party an extra two dollars in tips and hurried upstairs.

When the door was opened, I could hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

I don't think there's any need to drink the wine, they're already in place......
