Chiwart Ejiofor felt that since this Mr. Fernandez Chen knew computers, then the next communication between the two sides should be more pleasant, but soon, Chiwetel Ejiofor found that the $100,000 was not so easy to get, and the Mr. Fernandez Chen in front of him not only knew some computer knowledge, but also had a very strong sense of confidentiality.

Why, because the two guys, who looked like bodyguards, were pulling out a video camera from the suitcase they had brought with them...... Camera?!

The camera at this time is not a camera that can be held in the hand after more than 30 years, or even a part-time camera by a mobile phone, the camera of this era is the kind of camera that we see on TV, the kind that needs to be resisted on the shoulder, as for the medium of recording information, it is not a high-speed memory card, but a tape......

"Mr. Fernandez, what are you ......?" asked Chiwette Ejioo, the corners of his mouth twitching.

In fact, he was pretending to be stupid, after seeing this action of Chen Geng's subordinates, he roughly understood what the other party meant, but it was precisely because he understood this meaning that he felt angry: You actually think I will steal your things?!

Rosemary made a "don't worry" gesture to Chiwetel Ejiofor and said with a smile: "Mr. Ejiofor, our boss said that for many software developers, the solution to many problems may be just an idea, but without anyone to provide this idea, you will never solve this problem......"

Yes, the reason why Rosemary, and even Fernandez, videotaped this conversation, is very simple: to leave audio and video evidence, so that in the future, Garrett 2000 will "steal" his own ideas and go back and forth in the course of a lawsuit!

But in the eyes of the Garrett 2000 company, Fernandez's approach is a bit humiliating, and before Rosemary finished speaking, someone couldn't help but say angrily: "This young lady, you must think too highly of yourself, Garrett 2000 is the best software development company in the industry, we have the industry's most advanced problem-solving ideas, do you think we will steal your ideas?"

Chiwett Ejiofor didn't speak, but the fact that he didn't speak speaks speaks to his attitude: his partner's words were also his own thoughts.

But Rosemary was not angry, when her boss decided to do this, she was already mentally prepared, and said with a smile: "Sir, please remember, we spent $100,000, and compared to this $100,000, my idea as my boss is far more worth than this $100,000." ”

As soon as Rosemary said this, the Garrett 2000 people immediately shut up: You pay $100,000, you are the biggest!

Don't look at Chiwett Ejiofor just said that last year, Garrett 2000 achieved a total operating income of 400,000 US dollars, and as a software development company, their production activities have almost no cost, and electricity is the biggest cost, that is, excluding rent, water and electricity, which are hard expenditures totaling no more than 1000 US dollars, almost all of these 400,000 US dollars can be used for wages and dividends.

But in reality, there are so many!

$400,000 a year, is DEC really doing charity?

For example, if you can really earn $400,000 a year, then you can simply buy a residential house, an ordinary house in the suburbs, such as their current two-story house without a swimming pool, which is the favorite of the American middle class, is only $30,000 or 40,000, and the better one is 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, and it can be paid in installments.

At that time, the hall will be everyone's studio, and everyone will be able to have their own separate room, which is not much more comfortable than squeezing into this small garage?

Speaking of which, they didn't make any money.

Not to mention that young Americans don't pay attention to enjoyment, look at those young rich people who have made money, what is the first thing they do when they have money? Buying luxury cars, buying luxury houses, and pulling a group of young and beautiful models to get drunk on money, and this is also the lifestyle of the rich people that has been propagated by the American media and accepted by American society, and the reason why these young people are nested in this kennel-like garage is because they have a dream of living in a luxury house, driving a luxury car, and even driving a luxury yacht in their hearts.

Therefore, for these young people of Garrett 2000 Company, 100,000 dollars is really a lot of money, and for the sake of 100,000 dollars, they decided to endure it, of course, they were still a little unconvinced: Lao Tzu really doesn't believe it, you are a ...... Forget it, no matter what you do, you can be better than us in software design and development?

Joke!

If you really have such a great ability, you would have developed software to make money by yourself, as for coming to us?

With the mentality of watching jokes and even picking at the scene, the camera was set up, and facing the camera, Chen Geng first opened his mouth and asked Chewett Ejiofor: "Mr. Chiwett Ejioot, as the chairman, general manager, chief executive officer, chief architecture officer and chief development engineer of Garrett 2000 Software Development Company, is very interested in the fact that we have just verbally agreed to entrust Garrett 2000 Company to help us develop several programs and program development ideas at a price of 100,000 US dollars. Do you have any comments on the copyright and everything else that belongs to Fernández's way of working together?"

"No opinion," Chiwett Ejiofor grinned, not knowing if it was because of the series of titles that Chen Geng had given him, or because of Chen Geng's cautiousness, he spread out his hands: "As long as you pay in time according to the contract, there will be no problem, everything is yours, that's all." ”

Soon, Chiwett Ejiofor and his friends and partners knew why Chen Geng was so cautious and used this combination of audio and video to preserve the evidence, because the first software he said completely subverted their stereotypes of software development......

"OK," Chen Geng nodded: "First of all, the first software I commissioned you to develop, I call it a visual, graphical operating system, and can run on IBM's Unix system and DEC's VMS system at the same time......"

"Wait," Chen Geng didn't finish speaking, Chiwetel Ejiofor interrupted him, with an undisguised sarcasm, Chewetel Ejiofor said unceremoniously: "Mr. Fernandez, I think you may know and understand the problem of computers, Unix and VMS are operating systems themselves, and as common sense, no one operating system can run in another operating system, even if it is a CP/M system that runs specifically on a microcomputer. ”

After waiting for Chiwett Ejiofor to finish, Chen Gengcai nodded with a smile: "I understand, it's a matter of my expression, I'll say it in detail: I want a shell software that can run on DEC's small computer and IBM's medium-sized machine, can be carried out in a graphical way, and allows users to have a more convenient way to operate." ”

"So, it's not an operating system, it's just a shell software?" Chiwett Ejiofor was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked.

Chen Geng nodded: "That's right, this is a shell software, do you think I asked you to develop an operating system with a graphical operation interface?"

Chiwetel Ejiofor: "......"

Chiwetel Ejioult's friends: "......"

This was embarrassing, and Garrett 2000 employees were a little hot on their faces.

Chen Geng didn't seem to see this monkey-like face, and then said: "Of course, with the current hardware level of small and medium-sized computers, it is possible to develop a real and visual graphical operation interface, but I think that with the current hardware level, the graphical operating system occupies too high system resources, and it is better to use this way of loading shell software to save system resources......

I know that IBM's mid-range and DEC's mini-computers are completely different, resulting in completely different shell software from design to code, but I don't care so much, I want the effect that when I use this software on an IBM mid-range computer and a DEC minicomputer, I see exactly the same interface, as if they are operating the same computer......"

Before Chen Geng's words were finished, a voice on the side said: "Sir, with all due respect, this is impossible to do, DEC's VMS system and IBM's UNIX system are two completely different operating systems......"

"Sam, you're wrong, it's just okay. Before the voice could finish speaking, Chiwett Ejioo, who had been thinking about Chen Geng's words, interrupted him and said.

"Huh? this can't ......."

"Nothing is impossible," said Chiwetel Ejioult, "and you may have forgotten that this is not a real operating system, it's just a shell software that pretends to be an operating system, and whether it can display the same information on Unix and VMS when it runs is very simple, as long as we provide the material to both computers." ”

"That's right," Chen Geng smiled and took out an A4 piece of paper from the materials he prepared, showed it to the camera, and then handed it to Chiwetel Ejiofor: "In order to let you know my thoughts more accurately, I specially made the renderings of this 'window' system...... Well, I gave this shell a name called 'Windows', and I think for people, this system opens a whole new window to them. ”

When saying the word "indos", Chen Gengren worked so hard that he didn't let himself laugh.
