Chapter Eighty-Three: The Red Ferrari
John Carmack and others, with the help of Henry, soon formed a company called Id-software. That is, now Firefly Games has three subsidiaries under its umbrella, Blizzard, Westwood, Id-software. Henry's request for Id-software is not to make a game, but to make a 3D engine first, which is exactly what John Carmack is proficient in!
"We were going to make a game-making game -- a 3D game, so we needed a 3D engine!! " Henry said.
John Carmack was thrilled to hear that he was going to make a 3D game, and he strongly supported Henry's decision, and the other members had no objections.
"John Carmack, Id-software is willing to buy your previous 3D technology patents at a good price, do you agree?"
John Carmack thought for a moment that if he wanted to make a 3D game, he would definitely use his previous technology, and now that everyone was in the same company, he nodded and said, "I agree!"
Henry looked at him and said with a smile: "Then, you negotiate a price yourself, and I don't care!"
"Hmm......" the crowd nodded.
Henry then took his leave, smiling in his heart, not for a year or two, don't think about making a good 3D engine, it seems that financing is inevitable......

The formation of ICQ has gone smoothly and now there are more than 20 people in the company. The first step is to make drastic improvements to the ICQ software, especially the simple interface, which must be changed to be simple and beautiful. The second step is to add some functions. The current ICQ only supports online chat and adding friends, and the function is too simple. There are no very basic functions such as roaming chat history, transferring files, etc.!
Therefore, it is enough to add roaming chat history and transfer files in the early stage to officially launch the market!
These functions are very simple, and it doesn't take any difficulty to complete! Roaming chat history only needs to save the user's chat history from the user's computer to the company's server, and it takes a little bit of technology to transfer files, in addition to the current network speed limitations, file transfer involves algorithm problems, the algorithm is excellent, natural, and the transfer speed is faster!
Also, the improvement of the interface will take a while.
However, if it is fast, ICQ will be on the market within a week!!
Tian Shuai led the team to fight day and night, and the interface changed several times, and after eight days, he finally produced an effect that satisfied Henry!
Simple and stylish!
That's right, the current ICQ interface looks high-end and high-end.
Henry encouraged everyone and said, "You guys did a great job!" Henry didn't open the golden finger this time, and directly drew the classic interface of ICQ, but told them the requirements, simple, fashionable, and good-looking! But they were able to make it in a very short time and make themselves satisfied, which is already very good!
Henry looked at Tian Shuai and said, "Tian Shuai, ICQ will be officially launched tomorrow!!"
"Okay!!" Tian Shuai nodded excitedly, he had been waiting for this day for a long time!
"By the way, don't forget to advertise on Isearch and Nicholas Worldwide Online!" Henry admonished.
"I have already contacted them, and once ICQ is launched, they will fully support them!" Tian Shuai remembered that after he went to these companies to explain his intentions, he actually gave the green light to pass, met any of his conditions, and the price was very cheap. This time, ICQ's ads will cover almost the entire Internet, and the money spent is only two million dollars!
Tian Shuai can't imagine how popular the scene will be when ICQ is launched!
After getting off work, Tian Shuai drove to the dormitory, passed by a flower shop, and suddenly stopped!
"Boss, I'll buy a bouquet of roses!!" Tian Shuai got out of the car and walked to the door of the flower shop.
The owner of the flower shop, a woman in her forties, smiled and said, "Young man, you bought it for your girlfriend!"
Tian Shuai's face flushed slightly, "She hasn't agreed to be my girlfriend yet......"
"You have to be persistent in chasing girls, you come to my store every day to buy flowers for her, and I guarantee that she will agree to be your girlfriend!" The flower shop owner wrapped a bouquet of roses and said with a smile, "If you come to buy it every day, Auntie can give you a discount!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Tian Shuai thanked him, and then asked how much a bouquet of roses cost.
"Auntie will give you a cheaper, $20 a bunch!"
"Hmm. After Tian Shuai paid, he took the flowers and quickly got into the car.
The boss shouted at Tian Shuai's back: "Come and buy more flowers in the future!!"
"Shy boy, I'm nervous about buying flowers, hehe......" The florist smiled and returned to the house.
It was almost evening when Tian Shuai returned to school, and it was getting dark. Tian Shuai held a bouquet of roses in his hand and shuttled through the university. At this moment, his heart was nervous but with a hint of anticipation, and he walked much faster than usual.
An Jiayi, I'm here!
As we crossed a tree-lined alley, a brand-new red Ferrari was parked on the side of the road. Tian Shuai looked at the car and suddenly stopped.
This is An Jiayi's car, he will never admit his mistake!
It was impossible for him to admit that he was mistaken, even the license plate number was exactly the same!!
Tian Shuai's face became extremely pale, and there was hardly a trace of blood!
Something terrible happened suddenly, like the end of the world suddenly came. The red Ferrari is shaking rhythmically, and the word car ~ shock is no stranger to Tian Shuai.
Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
Syllable!
The rose in Tian Shuai's hand suddenly fell to the ground, but Tian Shuai was unconscious. His face became more and more ugly, and his whole heart was broken in vain. He didn't knock on the car window, he didn't dare to look, he would rather he hadn't seen it, but the reality was that he saw it, and he saw it with his own eyes!
Tian Shuai was lost, as if he had lost his soul, without saying a word, he walked around the car and walked to the bedroom......
After a while, the red Ferrari started to move, and the bouquet of roses on the ground was crushed to pieces, and a gust of wind blew and scattered all over the ground.
Jim Atley had already returned to the dormitory, and suddenly saw that the door was slammed open by Tian Shuai, and immediately saw that he was pale, and without saying a word, he collapsed on the bed with his head covered.
"Tian Shuai, what's wrong with you?" Jim Atley saw that Tian Shuai was very wrong, and hurriedly walked over and asked.
No matter how Jim Atley asked, Tian Shuai just didn't speak.
Jim Atley was also helpless, sitting in his chair worried. After a while, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory, and Atley opened it to see that it was suddenly An Jiayi.
"I'll look for Tian Shuai. ”
An Jiayi was dressed in white, pure and lovely, and her voice was also very sweet.
Tian Shuai heard An Jiayi's voice, but suddenly stood up from the bed. He walked up to An Jiayi with an expression on his face, and said indifferently: "You go, I don't want to see you again!"
An Jiayi was stunned and looked at Tian Shuai in surprise.
"Don't you understand? I told you to get out, I don't want to see you again!!" Tian Shuai yelled angrily.
An Jiayi was suddenly so angry that her face was flushed, she didn't say a word, turned around and ran away.
Jim Atley was stunned, "Tian Shuai, you, are you okay??? that's An Jiayi?"
"I know......" Tian Shuai replied weakly, turned around and fell on the bed again.
Jim Atley knew something was wrong.
What happened to make Tian Shuai so abnormal and drive An Jiayi away!!
However, it didn't take long for the door of the dorm room to be knocked again.
Jim Atley opened it and saw that it was Ann Jiayi's roommate Laura Dolly!
Before Jim Atley could speak, Laura Dolly rushed in with a menacing look, and then swept her eyes and looked at Tian Shuai who was lying on the bed.
"Tian Shuai, how did you make An Jiayi angry, and why did she cry in the dormitory for a while?" Laura Dolly asked loudly.
Tian Shuai's body was in a ball and he didn't say a word.
Laura Dory stepped forward angrily to pull him, but Tian Shuai clung to the edge of the bed, so that she couldn't pull it.
Seeing this, Jim Atley hurriedly came over and persuaded: "Dolly, I know about this, you can just ask me." ”
Laura Dolly let go of her hand, turned to Atley, and asked, "Say, what is the matter?"
Jim Atley immediately explained what had just happened, Laura Dolly was furious after hearing it, and scolded Tian Shuai: "Tian Shuai, do you know? An Jiayi sold her beloved Ferrari in order to make you rich to start a company, it was a birthday gift from her father!! today, she originally came over to lend you money, but she didn't expect to be ruthlessly driven away by you!! Tian Shuai, you bastard!!"
After saying that, Laura Dolly ran away in a rage!
As soon as Tian Shuai heard this, he suddenly became excited!
An Jiayi sold her Ferrari, so she saw the red Ferrari before that it was someone else's...... In other words, An Jiayi was not in the car, and she misunderstood her!!
Tian Shuai jumped up happily, slammed his head, and hit his head. But there was a stupid smile on his face! Then, he immediately picked up the phone and called An Jiayi.
Doodoo ......
The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
Tian Shuai, and then made five or six more calls, but no one answered!
No one answered, so Tian Shuai kept calling, and finally the phone was connected, but it was Laura Dolly who returned to the bedroom to answer the phone.
"Why are you still calling, An Jiayi also said, she doesn't want to see you again!!" After saying that, Laura Dolly hung up the phone.
Tian Shuai felt like a basin of cold water poured down in winter...... (Ask for votes and collection!! The author Jun has built a book friend group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join...... )
