Li Zetian glanced at everyone and said, "On January 1, 1983, ARPANET was officially used. The TCP/IP protocol replaced the old NCP network control protocol, and then under the joint promotion of the Galaxy Network Corporation and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the TCP/IP protocol has begun to become popular in the society, and hundreds of universities in the United States have used the TCP/IP protocol! In the future, more users will join the ARPANET, and e-mail will have commercial value!

As soon as the TCP/IP protocol became popular, the real Internet (Internet) would soon be born. In this era, Li Zetian has the clearest understanding www.biquge.info of the Internet and knows very well what impact the Internet will bring in the future!

At this time, everyone nodded in understanding. In fact, Microsoft's Windows 1.0 operating system supports TCP/IP network protocol, which is a feature that Li Zetian previously asked Gary Kildare's operating system development team to join.

It is true that the development of e-mail now has little commercial value, but the future development potential is huge, and the technical accumulation of e-mail is also very necessary. After Microsoft went public, it had strong financial resources, recruited more talents, and developed emails, so naturally there was no problem.

Since Microsoft has gone public and financed, if the money is still in hand and has not been spent, it is completely useless to use the money, and only by using the money to technology and talents can the enterprise develop rapidly and be invincible.

Li Zetian put forward two projects in a row, PowerPoint and e-mail, in fact, to let Microsoft spend money and develop rapidly.

Of course, PowerPoint is a very lucrative heavyweight software.

……

After the meeting, Microsoft began to take action, and according to Li Zetian's suggestion, Bill Gates sent people to dig up the foot of the wall and dig up the "father of e-mail" Ray Tomlinson.

Li Zetian feels that his collecting habit is getting more and more serious, especially the father of something in the technology world, and he has now collected a lot of such people.

For example, Gary Kildare, the "father of the DOS operating system", Ted Hough, the "father of the microprocessor", Alan Shugart, the "father of disks", Nolan Bushnell, the "father of video games", etc...... I'm afraid I can make a deck of playing cards in the future.

……

……

Ray Tomlinson was surprised at this time, and did not understand why Microsoft was poaching him with a high salary.

Of course, Ray Tomlinson was surprised, and that's normal.

SNDMSG emails have no commercial value, and Ray Tomlinson is not famous. In fact, there are too many unsung heroes like Ray Tomlinson in the tech world, who have done a lot of work for humanity but have not received the pay and glory they deserve. Some people will not be remembered until decades later, while others will even remain unknown for the rest of their lives......

"Mr. Ray Tomlinson, Chronos Li personally invited you to Microsoft by name, and will be entrusted with important tasks, which is better than your obscure work at Newman Company!" said the human resources manager of Microsoft in a sincere tone.

Ray Tomlinson was even more surprised at this time, the person named by Chronos Li himself was enough to see that the other party valued him. However, Ray Tomlinson was still puzzled and asked curiously, "I can't figure out why Chronos Li values me so much?"

"Because you invented sndmsg e-mail, you're an expert at it!, let's be honest, Microsoft is preparing to develop a commercial version of e-mail, so I'm looking forward to seeing you join us!!"

"Email ??? for Business"

Ray Tomlinson couldn't help but look stunned, he was the inventor of e-mail, but he never found its commercial value.

The HR manager of Microsoft Corporation struck while the iron was hot: "Mr. Tomlinson, don't you want to see your invention of e-mail become a global phenomenon and become a means of communication used by everyone? Come to Microsoft, we can work with you to realize this dream!"

When the time comes, the whole world will know that Mr. Ray Tomlinson is the father of e-mail!!"

When Ray Tomlinson heard the last sentence, his heart trembled inexplicably.

Joining Microsoft, money, fame, and status are all there, Ray Tomlinson is not a saint, and he is immediately moved.

"Okay, I'd like to join Microsoft!!" he nodded in agreement.

The HR manager of Microsoft stretched out his hand and smiled, "Microsoft welcomes you to join!"

Ray Tomlinson reached out and shook his hand, and then said, "It will take a while for me to leave here, and in about two weeks, I can report to Microsoft." ”

"No problem, the position of Email Project Development Manager at Microsoft will remain with you until you take up your position. ”

"Okay, thank you very much!"

After Microsoft's human resources manager got Ray Tomlinson, he immediately called Bill Gates back, and Bill Gates then called Li Zetian again. After Li Zetian learned the news, he was overjoyed.

"Ray Tomlinson, the father of e-mail, has joined Microsoft to develop e-mail, which is awesome......!

Li Zetian ended the phone call with Bill Gates, and then continued to look at the documents, which were faxes from SAIC-Rolls-Royce, which roughly stated that Weilong brand cars had been successfully developed, and the first production line of Weilong cars had been established, and they could enter mass production.

The design style of Weilong Automobile is very similar to Rollslath Cars, which is domineering, and it also coincides with the brand name "Weilong". The logo of the Weilong car is a golden, five-clawed dragon that is soaring through the clouds, which looks very majestic! Although it uses a lot of Rollslath car technology, the price is not expensive, and the price of each car is 50,000 yuan. However, there are very few 10,000 households in Chinese mainland, and I am afraid that only local tycoons in big cities, government agencies, and research institutions can afford to buy them.

According to statistics at the end of December 1982, Shenzhen, as a special economic zone, has only emerged more than 2,000 "10,000 households".

Li Zetian is actually still a little worried about how many Weilong cars can be sold for 50,000 yuan. In fact, this price is already very low, and if it is lower, there will not be much to be gained. Due to the limited level of China's automobile industry during this period, the domestic production rate of Weilong Automobile's parts was only 6%, so many parts had to be purchased from abroad at a high price, which increased the manufacturing cost.

Li Zetian closed the document and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he shook his head and said to himself: "Forget it, no matter how much it sells, Chinese mainland is very poor now, and I don't expect it to make more money! Santana has not yet established a production line in China, and Weilong is already one step ahead of it, and that is enough! Automobile manufacturers are actually only the downstream of the industrial chain, and without production equipment and parts, how can cars be made? Only by mastering the upstream of the industrial chain can they have the right to speak!! Just as ASML has mastered the best lithography machine, all semiconductor companies have to rely on it!!"
