"Yuemin, we are here this time to understand the situation. Director Ye nibbled on a pancake, "The report about you has spread to the country and has caused a great impact. ”

"Good or bad?" Zhong Yuemin asked with a grin.

"Mixed reputation. Director Ye said.

Assistant Wang couldn't help it at this time, "Zhong Yuemin, have you returned to China after your studies?"

"Lao Wang!" Director Ye said to stop him, but he couldn't stop Assistant Wang's resentment: "Now the country says that you have become an American citizen, and you have sent a capitalist to study abroad!"

Zhong Yuemin looked at Director Ye, "What else do you say?"

"Yuemin, now that there is some controversy about your affairs in China, you shouldn't have too much pressure. Director Ye said: "The organization still trusts you, but you have been so successful in starting a business in the United States, which is a bit beyond everyone's expectations, this is a new situation, and it is normal to have discussions." ”

Zhong Yuemin nodded, "I understand." First of all, I want to say that I was a Chinese before, I am a Chinese now, and I will be a Chinese in the future. The other one will return to China after completing my studies. ”

Director Ye's face was obviously a little relaxed, and he said hello a few times.

Assistant Wang snorted in his nose, but he didn't believe it, but he couldn't say anything, maybe his authority was limited, and he was afraid that something would go wrong.

"The computers made by your company are very powerful, and the Americans like them very much, and I don't know if they can be sent to China so that the comrades in China can see for a long time. Director Ye asked with a smile to ease the atmosphere.

"No problem, I will donate 20 WALL-E Alpha computers to the Chinese Embassy in the name of WALL-E. Zhong Yuemin agreed, "As for how to transport it back to China, I don't care." ”

"Don't worry, we'll take care of this. Director Ye said happily, "I just don't know when we Chinese can build such a beautiful personal computer." ”

"The foundation for making personal computers in China is all there, but it is two generations behind the United States in some core technologies, as long as the domestic environment is more relaxed, I believe that computer companies like Wall-E and Apple will appear. ”

As for Zhong Yuemin's assertion, Ye Wang and the others just listened to it, and now the domestic environment is a bit complicated, and the overall tendency is conservative, and no one can say anything about the positioning and direction of the private economy.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the state made it clear that the development of the economy and the emergence of the private economy were also allowed, but no one knew how to develop and how to promote it.

Although a large number of educated youths who have returned to the city have already done such work as practicing stalls and dumping their masters, it was not until 1982 that the constitution clearly stipulated that the state should protect the legitimate rights and interests of the individual economy. It was not until the 1988 constitutional amendment that the legal status of the private economy and the State's policy of guiding, supervising and regulating the private economy were formally recognized.

Zhong Yuemin guessed that the attitude of the domestic authorities towards him should be positive, no matter whether he asked, take a look first, otherwise with the temper of his son Zhong Shanyue, he would have sent a foreign letter to him to return to China.

"Comrade Yuemin, the following are a few questions I ask you on behalf of the organization, please be sure to answer them truthfully. Director Ye took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and said with a serious expression.

"Yes. ”

"Where does the money come from to create a company?"

"In several stages, the first came from my scholarship and the investment of my roommate Johnny, and then I got $50,000 from the school's startup fund, and then I got millions of dollars from companies including Intel. ”

Zhong Yuemin was talking, but found that Director Ye and Assistant Wang had their mouths wide open, if they hadn't seen the scale of the Walli Company with their own eyes, they would have thought he was in the Arabian Nights!

"Why is there so much money?" Assistant Wang rubbed his chin, "Those capitalists would be so kind?"

"Of course not, they all own a stake in Wall-E. Zhong Yuemin said: "When Wali is listed one day, they will live hundreds or even thousands of times the return." ”

"Why should they believe you, what if the company collapses?" asked Assistant Wang.

"Because I have core technology. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, "Of course, investment is risky, if the Vali company really collapses, they will be unlucky." ”

"I don't need you to pay either?"

As soon as Assistant Wang's words came out, Director Ye looked at him in disbelief, "Lao Wang, you may not be too familiar with American companies, in the United States, companies are independent legal persons, with independent civil rights and civil capacity, if the company is insolvent, it will enter bankruptcy proceedings, and the company's property is limited to bear debts, and the company's shareholders do not need to make additional compensation." ”

"Yes, that's right. Zhong Yuemin nodded.

Assistant Wang's face turned red, but he asked another question: "Then you have so much money, how can you spend it?"

"Actually, all the money was spent. Zhong Yuemin shrugged, "A lot of money was spent on hardware research and development, and it took a long time to get the Vali Alpha, which can only be said to be barely usable." ”

"Hardware?" neither of these people understood.

"It's mainly the CPU, the core of the entire computer, and millions of people don't even make a splash when they throw it in. Zhong Yuemin explained: "Our next-generation WALL-E computer has been designed a long time ago, but we just lack the CPU, so we can only wait. ”

"So fast?" said Director Ye in surprise.

Intel's co-founder, Mr. Gordon Moore, proposed a Moore's Law, which states that the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles every month, and the performance will also double. Zhong Yuemin said: "That is to say, the speed of replacement of electronic products is about a year and a half, if you can't continue to innovate, it is backward." ”

Seeing the somewhat confused expressions of Ye Wang and the others, Zhong Yuemin understood that he had said too much, "Director Ye, you can continue with the previous question." ”

"I don't think I need to ask the next question. Director Ye said: "You have already told me the answer before, but I hope you travel your own promise, otherwise the boss will be very disappointed." ”

"Rest assured, I always remember what I said. ”

Seeing off the embassy people, Zhong Yuemin suddenly felt a little tired, and he returned to the office and sat on the office chair a little weakly.

"What's wrong with you, boss?" Peter walked in, "you look bad. ”

"Nothing, maybe I've been too tired lately. Zhong Yuemin cheered up, "How is the situation of the company over there?"

"Both Apple and IBM have expressed interest and are willing to communicate with us in detail. Peter hurriedly opened the folder, "Boss, do you think we will arrange a specific time in the future?"

"Yes, you can arrange it. Zhong Yuemin rubbed his temples, "The development of the Windows system 1981 should also be paid attention to, and there should be new progress on Intel's side soon, and we will launch the Vali Beta computer at the end of this year or early next year." ”

"Yes, boss. Peter saw that Zhong Yuemin's face was a little pale, and he said with concern: "Let's take you to the hospital, right?"

"It's okay, you go get busy, I'll just rest for a while. Zhong Yuemin declined Peter's help and leaned back on the bed to close his eyes.

Peter had no choice but to leave the office.

……

When Zhong Yuemin woke up again, he found that there was nothing in front of him, he hurriedly blinked but found that it was still the same, and there was nothing in sight.

He wanted to rub his eyes with his hand, but his hand was stopped: "Don't move, Yuemin." ”

"Cui Yang, what's wrong with me?" Zhong Yuemin heard Cui Yang's voice, and quickly turned his head to look.

“…… You fainted and are now in the hospital. Cui Yang seemed to be holding back some kind of emotion, "The doctor said that you need to rest, and you will get better after a while." ”

"Then why can't my eyes see? Zhong Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he was wearing it again.

"The doctor said that for some unknown reason, it was temporarily blind. Cui Yangyou hurriedly added: "However, the doctor already has a medical plan, and you will be fine soon!"

"Oh, that's it. Zhong Yuemin forced himself to relax, "How long have I been in the hospital?"

"Two days. Cui Yang replied.

"How's the company doing?"

"It's all normal, it's just that they're all a little worried about your situation, but you're awake now, it's fine. ”

Zhong Yuemin nodded, "Help me call the doctors, I want to talk to them." In addition, I would like to have a brief communication with the heads of various departments of the company called in a little later. ”

"But you've just woken up, and you still need to rest!"

"I've had two days off and that's enough. Zhong Yuemin said firmly: "Do as I say." ”

“…… It's ......"

……

Blindness is not darkness, but nothingness.

If you want to feel it, you can open one eye and close one eye, and whichever eye you close will feel nothingness, black and white nothing.

For Zhong Yuemin, blindness is more out of control, something that was easy before, but now it is very difficult.

Cui Yang really hid something from him, and the doctor had already found out the cause of his blindness, and there was a blood clot in his brain that was compressing some nerves.

Because of the tricky location, the risk of surgery is too great, and the doctor has no good solution, so he can only observe it for the time being.

In other words, Zhong Yuemin's blindness may be indefinite.

If this news is bad, the other may not be so bad.

"Peter, are you saying that both Apple and IBM have terminated their investment agreements in Windows?" Zhong Yuemin frowned and lay on the bed.

Peter was annoyed: "Boss, we may have been tricked, Apple seems to be working on a secret plan to develop an operating system, and IBM seems to be working with Microsoft." ”

"In other words, all their previous actions were fake, all to delay time?" Zhong Yuemin muttered, "Then why did it suddenly break out now?"

"They withdrew from the negotiations as soon as they heard the news that you were blind, boss!" said Peter.

"Even if we agree to let Windows go public, why not become a public company?

Johnny couldn't help but interject: "Min, we are too strong, they feel scared, they can't be willing to watch Windows become strong!"

Everyone in the room bowed their heads, but none of them expressed their opinions.

Zhong Yuemin is well aware of his disadvantages as a non-American, and his original strategy of wrenching himself with the enemy now seems completely bankrupt.

He was silent for a while, "Peter, hold a press conference to publish the source code of the Windows system, which can be used by all companies and individuals for free. ”

"People!"

"Boss!"

“boss！”

Everyone shouted in shock, everyone knew the status of the window system in Zhong Yuemin's heart, and they didn't expect him to make this decision at all.

"I've thought it very clearly, so be it. Zhong Yuemin made the final decision, "Windows Company has transformed into a computer manufacturer and an electronic equipment manufacturer to provide customized services. I have only one purpose, to let the Windows system occupy the absolute market share, and let Apple and IBM have a headache!"

"The Vali Beta computer is the entire focus of our company at the moment, and everyone is implementing it according to the original plan, don't panic because of me, Johnny is in charge. After Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, he found that everyone was silent, and said with a smile: "You should give me a holiday, so that I have a chance to be lazy." ”

"Haha" everyone couldn't help but laugh.

When everyone dispersed, Zhong Yuemin had the opportunity to think quietly, he suddenly remembered that the blood clot in his head was probably the dark wound left by rolling down the hillside back then, and he woke up after a few days in a coma, and he lacked examination equipment, so he thought it was okay, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he would give himself such a sudden.

Everything has a cause and effect, and it may really be a hint from your body to yourself.

The advantage of not being able to see things is that the rhythm of the whole person naturally slows down, the movement slows down, the speech becomes slower, the breathing slows down, the emotions also become slower, only the sense of hearing, touch and thinking become countless times faster.

The doctor has always refused to let Zhong Yuemin go home, worried that his intracranial congestion will cause other complications, and Zhong Yuemin has to suffer in the hospital.

Cui Yang accompanies him in the hospital every day in addition to work, reads him newspapers, reads documents to him, and reports to him about the company.

"Laziness is the driving force of human progress. ”

Cui Yang didn't hear clearly for a while, "What?"

"I mean, laziness is what drives human progress. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Enjoy your service every day, I'm already thinking about whether to invent an intelligent robot, otherwise there will be no one to serve me when I'm better." ”

"Hehe" Cui Yang couldn't help laughing, "If you need it, I can always serve you!"

"Eh" Zhong Yuemin was generalized instead, so he had to change the subject, "It's a little too boring, if only there was music." ”

"Then I'll get you a cassette player!" Cui Yang replied.

A spark immediately flashed in Zhong Yuemin's mind, he asked Cui Yang to bring a pen and paper, groped for writing and drawing on the drawings, and finally showed messy lines, but the Walkman in Zhong Yuemin's mind became clearer and clearer.
