Chapter 013: The Down-and-Out Doctor

After returning to the hotel, Luo Shouwu, who was about to continue to discuss the problem with Yu Zixian, received a call from the factory to arrange the itinerary the day after tomorrow, saying that there was an urgent matter in the factory - the workers were asking for wages and making trouble!

At this moment, he has only been out for a few days, and such a thing happened, it was simply a loss of face in front of the inspection team and many leaders, and the angry Luo Shouwu almost dropped the phone!

Yu Zixian was also very surprised when he found out, the embarrassment of the workers' lives and the tension in the relationship with the factory have reached this point?

Luo Shouwu depressed and asked Yu Zixian to contact the Tokyo Office of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission to coordinate the purchase of air tickets for early return.

Yu Zixian was a little dumbfounded. This trip has increased my knowledge, and it seems that there are not many big things, but it is more determined that Luo Shouwu's heart of "seeking change" is more determined, and the plan to develop the LCD industry may be advanced!

That's not a big deal.

Contact and coordinate the return ticket, and the return time is officially set.

According to the original plan, after completing the five-day mission, the mission will return on 6 August. But now, Luo Shouwu and Yu Zixian, who rubbed the group, could only return one day earlier, that is, in the early morning of August 5th.

Their departure had no impact on the itinerary of the rest of the delegation, and Deputy Director Xu just stayed.

Yu Zixian remembered that Brother Zhang who helped them in the restaurant the day before yesterday! There were still a few hours before he left in the early morning, so he happened to go to see it, after all, he helped him!

After changing into the inconspicuous clothes he had used before, putting on a mask and a hat, Yu Zixian took a taxi to the nightclub and bar called "AMMONA" last time.

Because the restaurant is not far from the bar, just be careful not to get touched by the yellow hair!

After getting out of the car, Yu Zixian tightened his mask and hat tightly and covered them quite tightly. After a round of turns, I arrived at the vicinity of the restaurant. At this time, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and most of the restaurants had already closed, and most of the staff who were left behind were handling the ingredients to be used the next day.

When Yu Zixian arrived, he found that the door of the restaurant was open, but the lights were already dimmed......

Just when Yu Zixian was puzzled, Brother Zhang and a person himself walked out of the store and began to close the door.

"Is this going home?"

said that he was there, and Yu Zixian did not come forward. When the two signaled goodbye and walked on both sides of the road, Yu Zixian walked towards Brother Zhang.

"Brother Zhang?"

The sudden sound startled Brother Zhang, he turned around and asked suspiciously, "Are you?"

"I'm Yu Zixian...... Oh, I forgot to take off my mask. ”

"Oh, it's you?"

"Brother Zhang, I'm here to thank you. I'm so sorry for hurting you yesterday and breaking those bowls!"

Yesterday, those thugs broke some dishes casually, which made Yu Zixian very embarrassed, and the situation at that time only wanted to leave quickly, and left in a hurry after Kashima Tomoki threw down 5,000 yen, without saying much, and didn't even have time to say a sincere apology and thanks.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"Oh, I'm here to thank you, I'm going to go back to China! I just have some time, come over and thank you for what happened yesterday, otherwise I may not have a chance in the future?"

"Returning home?"

Yu Zixian suddenly saw that Brother Zhang suddenly began to be dazed, and even a little frustrated.

"Thank you, you go back, your apologies and thanks I received. After speaking, Brother Zhang left without looking back.

"Huh?" Brother Zhang's cold reaction was a bit unexpected by Yu Zixian.

Twenty minutes later.

In the old street of Ota Ward, a small six-square-meter room is supported by a small bed and a small desk.

Brother Zhang, who returned to the rental house, looked at himself in the mirror, his face full of vicissitudes...... I asked myself, "Is this what I want?"

"Knock knock...... The knock on the door made him startle, "Could it be that the rent is coming?

Don't look at this rental house is less than 6 square meters, the conditions are simple, but this is in Tokyo, nearly 10,000 yen (equivalent to 300 yuan) per month is not cheap,

And the money he earns every month from working in a restaurant is just enough for his daily expenses, and sometimes he can buy a book if he saves a little. The content of his job is actually very simple, which is to help wash and chop vegetables in the back kitchen.

Since he left home half a year ago, he has no ability to buy books.

But he has never regretted his choice of reading this path, but he has only suffered his daughter-in-law and daughter!

Brother Zhang opened the door and looked at Yu Zixian. , frowned and said, "I received your thanks, you can go back!" After speaking, he wanted to close the door.

"Hey, wait, Brother Zhang......" Yu Zixian took the opportunity to get in, and accidentally pushed Brother Zhang onto the bed due to excessive force.

"Uh-uh......"

The space in this room is so small...... If you go in with one person, don't think about going in with a second person. If you have to go in, that person has to sit on the bed!

This is a result that makes Brother Zhang helpless.

Yu Zixian was embarrassed, and even said "I'm sorry", and at the same time put some of the food he bought at the convenience store under his feet.

A bed, a table full of books, I really don't know where to put it?

"Huh?" Yu Zixian found something on a few pieces of manuscript paper on the table—the words "Ben University of Tokyo".

This is the manuscript paper of the University of Tokyo, so Brother Zhang is an international student?

"Brother Zhang, did you eat? I just didn't eat at night, so I bought some rice bowls and bread......"

Yu Zixian took out two boxes of rice bowls and two hamburgers from his handbag and handed them a set to Brother Zhang.

This time, Brother Zhang did not refuse, and after taking the hamburger, he said "thank you" and started eating directly......

"Ahem, ahem...... "Brother Zhang stuttered and choked on ............

Yu Zixian hurriedly picked up the water cup on the table and handed it over.

After drinking the water, Brother Zhang relieved himself...... Brother Zhang, who was just relieved, suddenly put down the bread in his hand, turned his face sideways and cried "woo.......

"I've been studying in this book for 10 years, and I've never been home in the past 10 years...... Studying, studying, and returning to China, but I persisted in such a simple idea for ten years. ”

……

Under Brother Zhang's narration, Yu Zixian learned his full name.

His name is Zhang Wenbao, and he was fortunate enough to enter the University of Tokyo to study computer science, and after graduating with a master's degree, he studied for a doctorate...... Winning a doctorate has become his dream for many years, and after persisting for a long time, it has become an obsession.

Zhang Wenbao was born in a scholarly family in Yanjing, and his dream since childhood was to go to university and become a doctor.

In 1968, 16-year-old Zhang Wenbao went to the countryside to join the team, and then entered the factory and got married. He and the word doctor, the dream is very close, but the reality is very far away.

After marriage, he named his daughter Li Bo, Ph.D. Bo.

In 1980, 28-year-old Zhang Wenbao decided to study abroad.

Two years at RB language school, three years master's degree in computer science from the University of Tokyo, and at the age of 38, Dr. Zhang Wenbao has been studying for five years. In other words, he has been studying for 10 years.

Studying, studying, and returning home for a Ph.D. have been a simple idea for 10 years.

Before, in Tokyo's lower street, in a 20-square-meter suite, Zhang Wenbao's family of three lived. They have been living here for six years.

Every night half a year ago, after my wife and children went to sleep. Zhang Wenbao began to write his own paper until five or six o'clock in the morning, and then went to bed. After a few hours of sleep, get up again and continue writing your essay. If he does not pass the dissertation, he will not be able to graduate with a PhD.

For Huaxia, the key to development is education, which requires a lot of talents. He also wants to be one of them.

In the third year of Zhang Wenbao's study abroad, his wife followed him to Yuben and worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant. After being admitted to the doctorate, Zhang Wenbao no longer worked part-time. The whole family depends on his wife for his life. In addition to daily expenses, relying on six years of part-time work, his wife also saved 2 million yen (about 70,000 yuan) for the family.

Zhang Wenbao wanted to raise money to build a school in China because he was out of school as a teenager. At the end of last year, without consulting his wife, he invested 2 million yen saved by his wife in an investment institution affiliated with a securities company. They relied on the temptation to lose 10 and got a lot of investment in Yueben.

However, with the halving of the stock market at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, investment institutions have lost most of investors' funds, and finally swept away investors' remaining funds. Of course, it also includes the 2 million yen that Zhang Wenbao's wife saved by washing dishes for 6 years.

This became the biggest economic crime of the year, and it also brought a devastating blow to Zhang Wenbao's family.

His wife, who has been with him for ten years in a foreign country, chose to separate from him. Zhang Wenbao moved out alone, lost the company of his family, and cut off his financial resources. After separation, Wenbao can see his daughter once a week. I picked up my daughter from the interest class, took her to a meal, and then sent it to my wife.

The wife who picked up her daughter left with her arms around her and didn't look back, he chased after him and wanted to say a few words, but he was not ignored. Sometimes the wife may force her to say, "Well, let's go first, and then turn away."

Zhang Wenbao rented a house of less than five square meters and picked up the part-time life that had been put on hold for three years.

Sometimes he will also take on some computer assembly work, but he can not take on many such jobs, all of which are very low-profit jobs that are looked down upon by others.

In addition, Zhang Wenbao had to wear a suit to do odd jobs in restaurants, and the content of his work was to handle vegetables. After work, he would buy the cheapest canned food and bread at the supermarket and go home for dinner. Normally, he only has 10,000 yen on him, which is only enough for a decent meal in Tokyo.

And what discouraged Zhang Wenbao the most was that the doctoral dissertation defense three years ago died due to a natural and man-made disaster. At this time, there was less than a year before the deadline for the submission of the second defense of Zhang Wenbao's doctoral dissertation.

Yu Zixian was curious, why didn't he choose employment, or give up his doctorate for a while?

And Zhang Wenbao's idea is very simple, simple and heart-wrenching: "This room is less than 6 square meters, but I like it very much, it can make people concentrate." A lot of people say I'm mentally ill and don't know anything but studying. But I'm just laughing, I have my own beliefs. ”

When he was in a domestic factory, Zhang Wenbao was admitted to university twice and did well, but because of his bad background, he couldn't pass the audit. This incident hit him very hard, and studying became his obsession. In the 10 years since he came to Ben, including now, he has never thought about taking office.

Tomorrow he will go out early to read a book at the school library. After leaving home, he no longer had the ability to buy books.

When Yu Zixian asked Zhang Wenbao about the topic of his doctoral dissertation, Zhang Wenbao said proudly: "Because I studied computer software for my master's degree, I was fortunate to participate in the TRON software team?"

"It's actually TRON software, the operating system project of the domestic version of the book, and I can let our people participate in such a major project?"

"The review is very strict, and my master's supervisor is Ken Sakamura, so he ...... And at that time, I was only a subsidiary subsystem, which was not very important......"

"It's actually Ken Sakamura......" Yu Zixian was shocked again!

People who don't know Bill Gates outside the IT circle may find it difficult to become a rich man, and in the IT circle, if you don't know Ken Sakamura, you are definitely just a pseudo-expert in IT technology.

Mr. Sakamura is a well-known scholar in the IT industry and a member of the IT think tank of the government. The world-famous TRON computer system architecture was first developed by Mr. Sakamura.

In 1984, when the TRON computer system was first launched, the RB industry called it a kind of domestic software that could break Microsoft's monopoly, believing that such a system would allow RB computer companies to no longer have to pay for the system from Microsoft. At that time, the TRON system was comparable to the existence of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

But that dream was shattered last year, when the U.S. threatened to list TRON as one of the unfair trade barriers when it learned that the government was planning to install TRON into the school's computers.

At that time, the government was disgraced by the U.S. negotiations on trade and semiconductor disputes, and was forced to sign the Japan-U.S. Semiconductor Guarantee Agreement. In addition, many computer companies have cut off ties with TRON for fear of losing the U.S. market.

In this way, the TRON system, which was originally intended to be a computer desktop system, could only be abandoned halfway and moved towards the transformation and development of embedded systems......

Yu Zixian sighed: "Is this the life of international students at this time?"

He had heard before that international students in Ben, the United States and other countries, especially self-financed students, generally had a very difficult life......

Before, he was still wondering how a big man chose to work in a small restaurant, but after entering the door and seeing the "University of Tokyo" on the manuscript paper, he already had a guess in his heart...... It's another sad story!

"The money I carried when I went abroad was only 8,000 yuan, and now there are more than 6,000 left, and I will leave you 6,000. You just have to look at the writing paper and try to pass the ...... this time."

Since he chose the integrated circuit industry, the software and hardware of the system may also be his direction in the future...... Although he was penniless and had no ideals, it was a very extravagant and distant thing to think about making a system at this time, but Yu Zixian didn't mind forming a good relationship...... Maybe it will be able to be used one day, especially Zhang Baowen, who participated in the construction of the TRON system...... He's not alone, he's a team!

If Zhang Baowen can really surprise Yu Zixian in the future, then Yu Zixian's soy sauce-style inspection trip is not in vain.

Zhang Baowen looked at the money in his hand, whether he took it or not, and whether he didn't take it...... He was almost in a desperate situation, and reason told him that he should take it, but in the face of the 6,000 yuan handed over by a person who had only seen two sides and helped him, and made him suffer a lot, it felt very illusory and a little unreal......

Yu Zixian gave Zhang Baowen almost all the funds he took from home and the factory gave him, and before leaving, he thought about it and asked: "If I have the opportunity to come to Yuben again, how can I contact you if I want to find you?"

"This is my school contact information at the University of Tokyo, and if I can't find it, I may have returned to my home country...... I don't know if it's domestic. This is the address of my hometown. But I haven't been back for 10 years, and I don't know what the situation is now......"
