Bao Zixuan takes classes seriously every day at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and with past life experience and thesis bonuses, his popularity is getting higher and higher. Even many girls have the idea of dating him. But he never had time, except for classes, he spent all his time writing black cloud office software. With his unremitting efforts, the black cloud version of word and excel can finally be speculated on the market.

Bao Zixuan arranged for Larry Brown to apply for a patent at the same time as the successful research and development, and if Microsoft wants to use it in the future, it will be embarrassing. Bao Zixuan prices both of these software at $50. When a customer orders two bundles together, it's $80. After Bao Zixuan's personal programming and continuous testing and optimization by the company's software department, Word and Excel can reach the level of 90 years in the future, and there is no problem with commercial use.

Thanks to the success of the last dealer conference, the North American branch of Heiyun is now quite famous, so it has recruited a lot of computer elites to join, including part-time employees in Apple and Microsoft, Bao Zixuan called Hashimoto Hiroshi to take the following software engineers to Apple and Microsoft respectively.

Hiroshi Hashimoto and others used to fight the front war, their purpose was to make these two companies interested in software, and the real purpose was that Bao Zixuan wanted the original shares of these two companies.

Hiroshi Hashimoto first came to Apple in California, and came to Jobs's office through the introduction of his subordinates. At this time, Apple had just launched the second-generation computer for less than half a year, but it was also said that it was basically impossible to get Apple's original shares later. Hiroshi Hashimoto couldn't understand why his boss valued this company so much. There's nothing here!

Under the operation of the engineer, after Jobs saw the good performance of the black cloud office software on Apple's second-generation computers, he thought that he must implant these two software into Apple computers, so that there will be a large number of enterprise orders. Apple computers are more than just toys that people say they are.

Jobs: "The software performance of Black Cloud is still good, I don't know how to sell it at the price." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "The price is $50 for each one, and the price for the two packages is $80. ”

Jobs: "This price is too expensive, I don't know how much it cost to implant these two software when Apple installed it." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "The authorization given to me by our president is $65. ”

Jobs: "That's still too expensive, so our margins are too low." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "There's another solution, which is that we at Black Cloud invest in Apple, and we have the software, the money, and the huge Asian market that you need. If Mr. Jobs agrees, our president will come to California to negotiate with Apple, or you can go to Black Cloud in Boston, and that's not a problem. ”

Jobs: "I don't know what your company's valuation of Apple is, I'm going to convince my partner." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "$10 million. ”

Jobs: "Okay, I see, I'll contact you after talking to my partner, I don't know if these two software can stay for us to test their performance in detail." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "Of course, this bunsen is for Apple. ”

After the first round of negotiations between Hiroshi Hashimoto and Apple, when he was about to go to Microsoft in Seattle, Heiyun Software had been quietly listed on the computer market, but the scale was not very large, and the popularity of computers in this era was not so widespread, so it did not cause much of a sensation.

But within MIT, Bao Zixuan's plan is to be recognized by the college's computer science program. Bao Zixuan, who was already a celebrity in the college, quickly took the black cloud office software to the computer department for system testing through Joseph Kane, and the result of the test was that Professor Harry Rowland of the computer department asked Joseph to take Bao Zixuan directly to his laboratory.

Professor Harry Rowland is 56 years old and was involved in the development of the world's first computer, albeit as a student at the time. But it has a high position in the entire computer world.

Bao Zixuan came to the computer experiment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and looked at this god figure who can be ranked in the top 20 in computer history, and was in a trance for a while.

Harry Rowland: "Hello, young man, I've heard of you. In modern theoretical mechanistic physics, you are already at the forefront of this era. Originally, I thought you only had a deep attainment in mechanics, but I didn't expect to have such a solid foundation in computer software. You have written two business software that solve the financial calculation and storage of modern companies very well. It's no exaggeration to say that your two pieces of software could save at least 100 million tons of paper a year on the planet. Every year, you have planted 700 million trees for the earth and saved 10 billion cubic meters of water, which is a thing that benefits all mankind. I am glad that such great software was born in MIT students, and I am sad that the students who wrote such great software studied mechanical engineering, not computer science. It seems that the computer science major of the college will recruit more outstanding young people!"

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that a small piece of software could be so admired by Professor Harry Rowland. Rise to the level of benefiting mankind, this is the thinking of MIT! To be modest, we should be humble and say, "You have won the award, but I didn't think about it so much." ”

Harry Loland: "I'd like to recommend your software to the Association for Computing Machinery for certification, but I have a question, as far as I know, you've never been systematically financially educated. How did you come up with the idea of writing financial software? I have to know why you created this great software. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Because my mother, Professor Roland, I am a Hong Kong child who grew up in a single-parent family. My father died before I was born. Since I was a child, only my mother raised me single-handedly, and there were no other relatives, my mother was a professional accountant. He could have worked for a large company, but in order to take better care of me, he chose to take care of the accounting and tax aspects of a dozen small companies at home. At that time, the small company in Xiangjiang was not very standardized, they often sent the account books at night, and they had to check the accounts clearly and hand them over tomorrow, so my mother often settled the accounts late at night, sometimes even all night. When I first saw that computers could do calculations, my dream was to be able to write programs using computers so that more people like my mom would never have to work so late anymore. ”

Joseph Kane did not expect that this usually optimistic big boy would have such a tragic childhood, and that he was not knocked down by difficulties, but did his best through his own efforts.

Americans love heroes, especially stories of mothers who are willing to give up many opportunities for their sons and insist on cultivating their sons to become talents.

Harry Rowland: "I see why you can write such great software. You have a dedication to doing things, and at the same time you have a great mother. Can you ask what your mother is doing now?"

Bao Zixuan: "She used my father's insurance compensation and the money she earned over the years to open a pastry shop. Now I don't want him to work too hard, because I also opened my own company in Xiangjiang. At present, the company's benefits are very good, but she is not a person who can be idle, and she basically goes to the store every day to have a look. ”

Harry Loren: "Thinking of the black cloud icon on the software, I didn't expect that the game that my grandson likes to play was actually developed by you. "Hahahaha

Bao Zixuan: "I did founded the Black Cloud Game Company, but I didn't expect your grandson to like it." ”

Harry Loren: "Pack, I'll recommend your software to the Association for Computing Machinery, and I'd like you to come and do my PhD in computer science. Computers can't go far with software alone. ”

Bao Zixuan: "I'll think about it, Professor." ”

After the two of them chatted for a while, Bao Zixuan left the Harry Rowland laboratory.
