Chapter 25: The School Song

In the evening, Bill Gates invited guests to dinner, and Li Zetian called Yu Jingqiu to come together and slaughter the big household together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After dinner, Paul Allen prepared to return to Boston.

Li Zetian saw him off, and said meaningfully: "Do a good job, Paul, I will come to you later!"

Paul Allen smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to you dropping out!"

"Oh, Paul, don't keep talking about dropping out of school, you see, my girlfriend isn't happy!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

Yu Jingqiu smiled and did not speak.

Paul Allen laughed and waved goodbye to the crowd.

"Bill, Steve, you go back to the dorm first, and I'll send Susan back. ”

"Okay, then let's go first. ”

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer answered and walked first.

Yu Jingqiu asked: "Is that Paul Allen very powerful?" She could see that Li Zetian, who was arrogant in his bones, attached great importance to Paul Allen.

"Yes, it's very powerful, it's a talent!" Li Zetian nodded, and then added, "It's a genius engineer!"

"Oh!"

Li Zetian is in a very happy mood, there are more and more talents gathered around him, and opening a company is not a matter of fighting alone, there must be a strong team. Bill Gates is not to mention, the technology is awesome, the management company is awesome, and he can be independent. Paul Allen is a great tech guy who can be the chief technology officer. Steve Ballmer is a talented and sociable person who assists Bill Gates in managing the company and handling foreign affairs.

In the future, Li Zetian's company is not only Microsoft, he can't do everything himself, and knowing people and being good at what an excellent entrepreneur should do is the most important thing for an entrepreneur. In order to retain talents like Bill Gates, even if he gives up 10%-20% of the shares, Li Zetian is willing. In addition, Bill Gates has a strong family background, not to mention anything else, his mother is a director of HSD State University, the first female executive of the First Interstate Banking Company, and worked with IBM CEO John Ex during her tenure as chairman of the Executive Council of the National United Way, and the relationship is very good. Of course, the BASIC compiler developed by Microsoft has become an industry standard, which is also an important point for IBM.

A few days later, it was April 1st, and on this day, Intel finally released the 8080 processor.

When Li Zetian saw the news, he was excited in his heart.

I called Intel that afternoon and was ready to buy one.

"Hey, hello, this is Intel!"

"Hello, I want to buy an Intel-8080 microprocessor!" Li Zetian said.

"Which company are you? Our company's Intel-8080 microprocessor is not sold to individuals, only to enterprises!"

I'm going to fuck your sister, it's so hypocritical!!

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He did establish a company, the registered Chinese name is Shatian Company, and the registered English name is Umbrella (registered abroad, must be registered in English), that is, the umbrella company that people were familiar with in the previous life!!

Umberlla or Shatian is the parent company of all Li Zetian's future companies, he will hold 100% of the shares, and because it is an offshore company, others do not know who the shareholders behind this company are. Li Zetian is now using the phone of the school dormitory to Intel, and it is easy to expose his identity, since the other party does not do personal business, he just hung up the phone and thought of other ways.

In fact, it is no wonder that Intel, because the chips at that time were too expensive, usually only enterprises could afford to buy, Intel is a manufacturer specializing in enterprise-level chips, and it is impossible to open personal services for a few people. When Steve Wozniak designed the Apple-|Computer, the cheaper MOS-6502 was chosen because it was not easy to buy Intel-8080 microprocessors, and the Intel-8080 was too expensive, so the wholesale price for enterprises alone cost $375.

The MOS-6502 was developed after Motorola's genius engineer Chuck Peder led a team of six engineers to move to MOS Technologies. Chuck Pedel felt that the Motorola 6800 processor was too expensive and suggested that the company develop a cheap processor, but the management felt that since the 6800 was so profitable, why should it get a cheap CPU to compete for its own market, and naturally rejected Pedel's suggestion.

As a result, in the second half of 1975, the MOS-6502 was born, priced at only $25, which was 1/7 of the Motorola 6800 and 1/15 of the Intel 8080. Although the MOS-6502 is cheap, it is also a very good 8-bit microprocessor, with a maximum memory support of 64KB, and its main frequency is the same as that of the 6800, which is 1MHz, but because the 6502 has an instruction pipeline, the performance is significantly better than that of the 6800.

The MOS-6502 is so cheap, how can the Motorola 6800 and Intel 8080 have a happy time?

Of course, Li Zetian wanted to use MOS-6502 to make Apple computers, but others had not produced it yet, so he had to use Intel-8080 first. However, Li Zetian has long considered using Intel-8080 to develop a simple Apple-l personal computer, as long as it is released earlier than the Cowherd Star 8800, Apple-l will inevitably be able to make Apple a legend in the industry with the gimmick of the world's first personal computer, so as to make a lot of money.

New technologies and new functions don't have to be taken out all at once, otherwise, what can be the highlights of future product upgrading?

Wait for the release of the MOS-6502 in 1975, and then use it to develop Apple-ll, a classic of the historical Apple company.

At the same time, it acquired MOS Technologies.

You know, Nintendo's FC red and white game console uses the MOS-6502 microprocessor. Sooner or later, Li Zetian will enter the game industry, and he is a man who wants to destroy Nintendo and Sony!!

Just when Li Zetian hung up the phone and was a little depressed, Yu Jingqiu took someone to Li Zetian's dormitory.

The man was also a Chinese, in his twenties and thirties, of medium build, with a pair of glasses.

Yu Jingqiu introduced: "This is my cousin - Tang Jiawei, he is looking for you to discuss something!"

"Hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Li Zetian!"

Since he is Yu Jingqiu's cousin, of course Li Zetian can't be lazy, and greeted warmly.

"Hello, I can't hide it, I came this time to ask you to promise me one thing!" Tang Jiawei said straight to the point.

"Let's sit down first, things will be said slowly, of course I am willing to serve where I can help. ”

Li Zetian invited him to sit down on the sofa, and then poured a glass of water.

Tang Jiawei said: "I watched the song you sang on Chinese New Year's Eve -- "My Chinese Heart", and I think this is a song full of patriotic feelings!"

"Thank you for your compliment, but if you have something, just say it!" Li Zetian smiled.

"Well, then I'll be blunt, I want your consent to license this song to my school as a school song!!"

"School song?" Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What school?"

"I want to build a school that teaches Chinese and writes Chinese characters!"

Speaking of this, Tang Jiawei couldn't help sighing, "You know, there are many Chinese Americans in the United States now, but they can't even speak the most basic Chinese, and they can't write the most basic Chinese characters, I think I need to do something!! although I am in a foreign country, we Chinese not forget our roots, forget our roots, and forget the language of our own country!!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked!
