Chapter 29 Microsoft Corporation

Li Zetian could only express regret for the other party's gracious stay, and after hanging up the phone, he returned to the bedroom and fell asleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info had enough sleep to develop the BASIC language the next day.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Tomorrow is the exam, and tonight, Harvard University's Primal-Scream streaking event is grandly launched!

Steve Ballmer finally failed to convince Li Zetian to go naked with him, so he went alone.

There was a lot of noise outside the dormitory building, and Bill Gates was standing in front of the window looking down. It's a pity that the floors are a bit high and you can't see clearly.

"Chronos, how about we go down and see what's going on?" Bill Gates came to Li Zetian's room and proposed.

Li Zetian thought to himself, are you going to see the excitement, or are you going to see the girls' slick bodies?

"Bill, do you want to see a girl's naked ~~~ body? Go by yourself, I have a girlfriend, mental derailment is also called cheating, do you understand? Alas, it's useless to talk to someone like you who hasn't been in love......

"......" Bill Gates was speechless, almost crying without tears.

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, suddenly, he thought of one thing, Yu Jingqiu wouldn't also go to see the excitement or participate in the Primal-Scream streaking event...... Li Zetian immediately picked up the phone and was about to call to ask Yu Jingqiu, but before he could dial the number, he immediately put it down, thinking, Yu Jingqiu is a relatively conservative traditional woman, how could she go to participate in the Primal-Scream streaking activity......? In fact, in this era, Chinese girls are not as open as they were in 2016, let alone participating in Primal-Scream naked running activities, even if they go to see the excitement, there are few people.

Li Zetian ignored what was going on outside the window and continued to study his BASIC language.

He didn't know if his rival MITS was already building the Altair-8800 computer, and he had to hurry up and get the Apple-l ahead of it.

……

……

Recently, Roberts, chairman of MITS company, was worried and couldn't sleep at night, and the company had a deficit of more than 200,000 yuan on its books, and decided to make a desperate bet to use Intel's 8080 microprocessor that had just come out to produce a new generation of personal computers for computer enthusiasts!!

MITS was actually the first company in the United States to specialize in the production and sales of calculators, and the business was booming, and the profits were rolling, and the company soon expanded to more than 100 people. However, the good times were short-lived. In 1970, the giant Texas Instruments also began to enter this market, and other companies also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money, and the price war broke out. At that time, there was a proverb: "The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, but the Texas price is not afraid." "And the pressure on these giants, of course, MITS is difficult to withstand, and the company must find another way.

In the early morning of May 20, 1974, Roberts drove to the bank again, and now only the bank can give him a loan, MITS has a chance to survive and develop, although he has been rejected by the bank many times, but still does not give up.

Bank of America.

"Mr. Smith, Intel's 8080 microprocessor released on April 1st, this kind of thing seems to be of unknown use, but for me and some veteran electronics engineers, it is simply wonderful!!" Roberts said excitedly to a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a serious face, "It integrates a set of original instructions - the 'command group' in the firmware There are digital and logic units, there is a clock, temporary storage registers, and if I connect external memory, I/O devices, and circuitry together to form a miniature computer that is comparable to a commercial computer!

Believe me, Mr. Smith, chips are going to be revolutionized, computers are going to get smaller, cheaper, they're going to be like televisions in every home, it's going to be an incomparably huge market!!"

After Roberts's words, Hank Smith, a bank manager with a keen interest in technology investments, was moved, and then he asked, "Are you sure that MITS can produce this kind of microcomputer?!"

"I'm very sure, Mr. Smith, that I can vouch for my profession and character that I can do it!" said Roberts, proudly.

"Okay, Mr. Roberts, please wait outside, and we'll give you an answer right after a few of us!"

"Well, okay!"

Roberts stood nervously in the hallway outside the door, waiting for the god of fate to pronounce his sentence.

After a few minutes, Mr. Hank Smith opened the door and said to Roberts with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mr. Roberts, after our deliberations, we have decided to give MITS a loan of $65,000!"

"Oh, thank God, MITS is saved!" Roberts was thrilled.

He hurriedly walked over and hugged Hank Smith: "Thank you!"

Smith smiled and said, "It was your sincerity and ideas that moved us!!"

……

At this moment, Li Zetian was taking the exam in the examination room, and he obviously did not know that Roberts had instigated his incorruptible tongue to persuade the bank to give MITS a loan, and soon, MITS would start developing the Altair-8800 computer. Under the influence of the butterfly effect, perhaps, the Altair-8800 computer is much earlier than in its previous life.

A few days later, the final exam was finally completed, and Li Zetian also successfully completed the writing of the BASIC language, and then he went to register the copyright of the BASIC language, and at the same time, registered a subsidiary in the name of Umbrella (umbrella, shading company), the name is Microsoft, that is, Microsoft Corporation, and then "sold" the BASIC language he wrote to Microsoft!

Umbrella holds 70% of the shares, and Li Zetian personally holds 30% of the shares.

The purpose of this is to hide the number of shares held by Li Zetian in Microsoft Corporation, so that when Bill Gates, Paul Allen and others come in in the future, Li Zetian will not have too many shares on his face, which will make them uncomfortable!

The trademarks all follow the logo of Microsoft in the previous life, with a square four-leaf clover and "Microsoft" written below. Of course, the LOGO of Umbrella Company is the classic umbrella LOGO of the previous life, and Li Zetian likes this LOGO very much, it looks very awesome!!

After completing a series of preparations, the final exam results also came out, Li Zetian except for computer and mathematics, all other courses were poor, and even the music course was just as bad, which couldn't help but surprise everyone!

"Is this still the musical talent we know?" The people in the music department questioned Li Zetian's talent in music!

If you ask Li Zetian to write songs, then it's no problem, it's easy to get by, but the music course tests a lot of professional music knowledge, and Li Zetian doesn't have time to learn this, how can he do well in the exam?

Not long after, the music department began to spread the word that the song Li Zetian sang at the Chinese New Year's Eve meeting that day was actually written by someone else, he was just stealing other people's songs, and he was especially able to pretend to ~ force, deliberately showing his own talent on stage and writing songs on the spot!

If he had real talent, how could his music exam score be so bad?!

The doubts became louder and louder, as soon as Chen Ruoxi heard the news, he felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart, and then walked to Yu Jingqiu's room and said to Yu Jingqiu in a victor's tone: "Yu Jingqiu, have you heard, Li Zetian's song "My Chinese Heart" is plagiarized from other people's works, and now it has spread all over the city, I'm afraid that people in the music department and the Chinese circle of Harvard University know about it!!"

Yu Jingqiu calmly took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Chen Ruoxi, saying, "Take it and take a look, he also wrote it!"
