Zhong Yuemin took advantage of Mike's inattention, kicked him twice in the crook of his leg, and kicked him straight forward, "I haven't practiced until I get home, when will I stop kicking you, and you will end the first stage of contact." ”

"Huh?" Mike was a little reluctant, "when will you be able to practice like this?"

"It's up to you to work on it. Zhong Yuemin patted him on the shoulder.

"Mike, if you help us sell the books and videotapes as soon as possible, and ask your master not to eat hamburgers every day, I will ask him to teach you in advance, hehehehaha. Johnny flickered at Mike.

"Really?" Mike said in surprise,

"I promise!" Johnny said to himself.

"Then I'll go right away!" Mike didn't even bother with the leftover burger, picked up the magazine on the table and ran, "I'm sure I'll be able to finish it soon!"

"It's too unkind for you to do this!" Zhong Yuemin complained.

Johnny smiled and watched Mike run away, "This can mobilize Mike's enthusiasm, you can just teach him a little bit when the time comes, otherwise he will be too boring to walk every day." ”

"You will be a good person!" Zhong Yuemin said speechlessly.

Johnny smiled: "When I get the money back, I'll treat you to a good meal first!"

"No, you better hurry up and buy the materials and equipment you want to use, it's up to you when we can open!"

"What do you want to buy?"

"Get another Apple computer, one is not enough, buy some disks and come back, some tools for assembling electrical appliances, soldering, multimeters and so on. Zhong Yuemin said a few things casually.

Johnny was so distressed that he shuddered, "If you buy it like this, at least three thousand dollars will be gone!"

"Oh, by the way, you go and get a lawyer tomorrow, and we're going to set up a company and sign a share agreement. Zhong Yuemin remembered again, "We're going to officially start a business." ”

"You're right, what's the name of the company?"

"WALL-E Computer Systems Ltd. ”

"What do you mean, how do you spell it?" Johnny was a little confused.

"WALL-E, the Earth version of the garbage configuration bearer crane. ”

"What the hell is this?" Johnny was even more confused.

"It's a lone robot. Zhong Yuemin sat on the table, crossed his arms, and looked into the void, "In 2805 AD, human civilization was highly developed, but due to pollution and a large increase in domestic waste, the earth was no longer suitable for human habitation. Earthlings are forced to leave their homeland in a spaceship for a long and boundless journey into the universe. Before leaving, they commissioned Buynlarge's company to clean up the earth's garbage, and the company developed a robot called WALL-E to do just that. ”

"So cool! and then?" Johnny was immediately attracted by Zhong Yuemin's story, and he jumped up violently, looking forward to Zhong Yuemin's story later.

"These robots are programmed to work hard day after day, year after year, but as time goes by and the harsh environment erodes them, WALL· The E's were damaged one after another and stopped moving. In the end, only one is still working on this seemingly never-ending work. After a long time, it began to have a consciousness of its own. He likes to hide the treasures he collects, watch songs and dances from hundreds of years ago when he finishes work, and have a cockroach friend as his company. Until one day, a spaceship from the universe breaks its unchanging ......"

Johnny wiped away tears as he listened to Wall-E's story, "It's so touching! Did Wall-E and Eva end up happily ever after?"

"Of course, very happy, very happy. Zhong Yuemin said: "Then in the end, the ecology of the earth gradually recovered, and human beings returned to their homeland on the earth after seven hundred years of wandering." ”

"Will there really be intelligent robots, spaceships, and all those cool technologies?" Johnny detached from the touching story of WALL-E and Eva and began with a hundred thousand whys, "Will humans really need to leave Earth one day, and where will they go?"

"The things described in the story are all things I dreamed of, and I think the technology will definitely come true, but I don't know if the earth will really be uninhabitable for humans one day, it's a story after all. Zhong Yuemin shrugged.

Johnny was shocked, "Min, do you know you're a great science fiction writer?"

"Really?"

"You're there right away!and I'm the first to find out!" Johnny excitedly found out the typewriter, "Min, hurry up and write your story, let's go find the publisher, I'm sure your story will make everyone's jaws drop, and come to you with a lot of money!"

"I don't have time. Zhong Yuemin has too many things to do now, classes to go, laboratories to go, mice to do, system software to write, there is no time to write books, he took out the story of the robot Wall-E, mainly to fool Johnny to agree to use Wall-E as the name of the company, the homonym is Holley.

Johnny was anxious, "Min, this is not just a book, this is a dream! This is our dream, but also the dream of the company! One day we will realize all the technologies in the story, and we will let more people know that WALL-E is a great company with a big dream!"

Zhong Yuemin looked left and right at the messy and shabby dormitory, and then at Johnny and himself.

"Well, we're really poor right now, we don't have an office, we don't have equipment, we don't have employees, but that doesn't stop us from being a great company!" Johnny probably didn't think it was enough to come up with a killer idea, "If your book sells well, it's much faster than we can sell pornographic magazines!"

"Well, you convinced me. Zhong Yuemin said, "I can write the book, but you will be responsible for the follow-up contact with the publishing house!"

"OK!

······

"Comrade Zhong Yuemin, after the decision of the party committee of the university, I agree that you will study for a doctorate in the United States, and I hope to return to China after completing your studies and make contributions to the country. ”

Zhong Yuemin looked at the reply letter forwarded by the embassy, and a stone fell in his heart, most of these students who went to the United States were visiting scholars, and they were not allowed to study for a degree in the United States on the surface, which is why he did not agree to Professor Anderson at that time.

When Zhong Yuemin entered the laboratory, he found Professor Anderson's face blushing, as if he was talking to someone.

"Professor, I'm here. ”

"Oh, Chinese lad, we're meeting again!" said Professor Anderson, who had not yet spoken, when he was greeted warmly by the people around him.

Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Professor Donald, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”

"Haha, I was really surprised by your speech at CAMC!" Donald completely ignored Anderson's stinking black face, and greeted Zhong Yuemin vigorously, "How about it?

"Of course, I can't ask for it, and if there is a suitable opportunity, I am honored to work with you. Zhong Yuemin politely said to Professor Anderson: "Professor, I have received a letter from the Chinese school, and they have agreed to study for a degree in the United States. ”

"Great!" Professor Anderson said loudly, as if on purpose, "Mary's formalities are ready, welcome to join us, Yuemin!"

"I'm also very happy! Thank you, Professor, for your help!" Zhong Yuemin said sincerely.

"Oh, are you joining Professor Anderson's lab?" Donald was a little surprised.

"Yes, Yuemin has officially joined my lab for a Ph.D.," Anderson continued.

Donald's face was a little tangled and a little regretful.

Professor Anderson, on the other hand, was like a victorious general, his face flushed with joy.

······

Zhong Yuemin got a workstation in the laboratory, and had a preliminary discussion with Professor Anderson about the research direction and the next topic.

Just as Zhong Yuemin was about to get some dinner, he was stopped by Professor Donald.

"Professor Donald, what are you?"

"Hey, your name is Zhong Yuemin, right?" Donald pointed to the car parked on the side of the road, "Do you mind going to the car to talk?"

"Yes. Zhong Yuemin actually had a premonition about this conversation, and he even thought that Professor Donald had come to Pittsburgh for him, and he wanted to see what the professor wanted to do.

······

"Boy, long story short. Donald's style is very direct, "I appreciate your talent, I'm now in charge of microcomputer research and development at IBM, I hope you can join us, I'll give you an offer of $100,000 and help you apply for a green card, how about it?"

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect that he was quite valuable, "Professor Donald, you know that I have only been in the United States for less than a year, and I have only been in contact with computers for a few months, so you are so sure that I am the person you are looking for?"

"Of course!" Professor Donald said, "Your speech at the meeting is enough to prove that you are a genius, and genius does not need time to prove!"

"What am I going to give?"

"Get out of Professor Anderson's lab and come with me to Armonk, where you can use your ingenuity to help us get the microcomputers on the market sooner!" Professor Donald said bluntly.

"Maybe I can't accept it. ”

Zhong Yuemin's decisive refusal surprised Donald, "Because of Anderson?"

"Professor Anderson is one thing, he has a good understanding of me, and my departure at this time is tantamount to betrayal. "But the more important reason is that I can't leave the study abroad program at Carnegie Mellon University. ”

"Why?" Donald wondered.

"Because I have a mission in my homeland, if I end my studies at Carnegie Mellon University, accept an offer from IBM, or even apply for a green card, it will be tantamount to betraying my motherland. Zhong Yuemin said: "Professor Donald, thank you for the invitation, I can't do what you want. ”

After speaking, Zhong Yuemin got out of the car and prepared to leave.

Donald poked his head out the window, "Hey, I don't understand your damn mission, but would you accept my invitation to visit Armonk?"

"Of course, it's an honor!" Zhong Yuemin also wanted to know what the state of IBM was at this time, and even wanted to go to California to see Apple.

······

Zhong Yuemin didn't go for a run early that morning, but turned a corner and walked out of school and ran all the way to the city of Pittsburgh.

From afar, I saw Mike carrying two stacks of newspapers, running wildly, throwing newspapers all the way to people's yards.

"Mike!" Zhong Yuemin called out to him.

Mike was pleasantly surprised, "Master, why are you here?"

"Specifically to see if you're lazy. ”

"I'm not lazy, I'm running all the way to deliver newspapers, and I've sold all my bikes!" Mike earned.

"I've seen it. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, "Run with you today, test your results, if you qualify, you can enter the next step tonight." ”

"Really!" Mike laughed out eight teeth!

"Let's go, I'll work with you!" Zhong Yuemin helped Mike share a stack of newspapers and strode up.

"Okay! Recently, I have been running to deliver newspapers faster than I used to ride a bicycle, and the residents have called me a running newspaper delivery person!" Mike happily reported to Zhong Yuemin, "I have recently added a lot of new customers, and they are all willing to let me deliver newspapers!"

"Haha, you have your own characteristics and stand out from the crowd of newspaper deliverers!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"Not only that, but Johnny's magazines and videotapes have all been sold!And many people have ordered from me!" Mike told Zhong Yuemin more excitedly.

Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a moment, "Then did you agree?"

"Of course, why don't you make money if you have money!" Mike said, "Master, you don't know, those male residents are very willing for me to send this kind of magazine to them for the sake of secrecy, and they are willing to pay more for it! I think I'm about to become prosperous!"

"Mike, I think there might be something wrong with that. Zhong Yuemin said solemnly, "Johnny and I are selling pornographic magazines out of necessity, I am grateful that you can help us, but if you become a pornographic magazine dealer because of this, I will feel very guilty, I think your future is more than that." ”

Mike was stunned for a moment, "Master, I already understand your thoughts, and I will seriously consider it." ”

······

"Min, have you already figured out the mouse control system?" Johnny anxiously waited for Zhong Yuemin, who was typing in front of the computer, while he was holding a simple mouse in his hand.

This mouse is a mechanical mouse, with a small round ball underneath that is connected to a bunch of sensors and circuit boards, and there is no beautiful ergonomic case later, all of these parts are exposed.

This is Johnny based on the design ideas provided by Zhong Yuemin, and it took more than a month to get it, mainly because many parts need to be made by themselves, which is quite time-consuming.

"Hurry up, don't worry!" Zhong Yuemin tapped on the keyboard with both hands, and his mind was constantly thinking about the design logic, and lines of code were beating on the screen.

The mouse control system is his small test, mainly for the next step in the development of the Windows system to make some preparations, as far as he knows, Microsoft has not officially started to develop the Windows system, so of course he will not be polite to Bill Gates, in the end, it depends on the will of God.

"That's it!" Zhong Yuemin shouted after typing the last character, and then picked up the hamburger and chicken wings on the table and nibbled on them, from morning to night, he barely ate a drop of rice, and he was already hungry.

Johnny, who was waiting next to him, immediately sat down in front of the computer, plugged the mouse into the connector he had made, and carefully debugged the operation.
