Chapter 304: Windows System
Zhong Yuemin ignored the stinky and somewhat blue faces of the onlookers and called up a drawing software function, which he developed specifically for the demonstration, with only very simple pencil and eraser buttons.
But this kind of function also amazed everyone, and Zhong Yuemin showed that it had completely exceeded their original research and development ideas.
The microcomputer they were working on had a tiny display with monotonous colors and could only display numbers and letters. Maybe in the minds of these science and engineering men, computers only need to be used to calculate and program.
"Yue Min, what is the little guy you control in your hand?" Professor Donald was also a little excited, and watched curiously as Zhong Yuemin controlled the brush on the screen with the mouse.
"I call it a mouse. Zhong Yuemin stepped aside and handed the mouse to Professor Donald, "Professor, you can try it." ”
Professor Donald, of course, refused, but first carefully picked up the mouse and took a closer look, "It really looks like a mouse! Is it using the scroll wheel below to control the sensor? Very clever design! It feels very good!"
"We're pouring it with rubber all at once, which can be soft to the touch. ”
"No, just right, I can even feel the temperature of it. Professor Donald's gentle stroking of the mouse made Zhong Yuemin feel a little chilly.
"Can I hold down the button on the left to draw?" Professor Donald tried to draw a straight line on the screen, but due to his lack of skill, the straight line was somewhat crooked and even intermittent.
Professor Donald made a few more attempts before moving out of the way, and the surrounding researchers scrambled to get started.
"Oh! that's amazing!"
"It's a revolutionary design!"
"Clicking these buttons with the mouse makes it much easier to use the computer!"
……
But there are still those with hard mouths and hard brains:
"Who needs to draw on a computer?"
"Could it be that we spent millions of dollars on computers just to make children doodle?"
……
Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Not only can you doodle, but you can also play games!"
As he spoke, he closed the artboard software and opened a game program.
"Is this a chicken?" someone said, looking at the pattern on the screen.
Zhong Yuemin was a little angry, his art skills were not good, and he worked hard to paint a bird and was seen as a chicken, but he didn't bother to correct it.
Because of the time limit, Zhong Yuemin's Angry Birds is a minimalist board, the bird goes up to the huge slingshot, the mouse presses and holds to control the strength of the ejection, releases the bird and ejects it, and hits the box in the distance to score, according to the short time The strength is small, and the time is long to bounce the bird away.
Zhong Yuemin demonstrated it to them twice, and everyone understood it, and they rushed to grab the mouse and play, which was a bit crazy.
Zhong Yuemin sneered in his heart, he didn't expect such a low-pixel, simple and somewhat boring game to have such a great magic power on this group of high-IQ research institutes.
Professor Donald carefully studied Zhong Yuemin's computer and pulled him aside, "You changed it with an Apple computer?"
"You're amazing, this machine was built with Apple computer parts, with increased memory and modified outer chassis. Zhong Yuemin gave a thumbs up and praised.
Professor Donald said quietly, "None of this is important, the important thing is the system you developed, can you tell me more?"
"Jiang is still old and spicy!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "This is a system that I developed with my companion Johnny, and we call it the Windows System." ”
"Windows?" Donald said with a smile, "You really opened a window, not only for me, but also for more ordinary people to contact the computer! Yuemin, you have really done a great thing!"
"You've won a prize. ”
"Originally, I asked you to come here to try and convince you to join us, but now ......," Professor Donald smiled wryly, "Forget it, IBM will buy your design, mouse, and Windows system in its entirety, and you can make a price." ”
……
"Yuemin, what did Professor Donald tell you just now?" Cui Yang saw Zhong Yuemin finish chatting, and followed curiously.
"Nothing, he wanted to give me a million, but I refused. ”
"One million?" Cui Yang couldn't believe it, "Why did Professor Donald give you a million?"
Zhong Yuemin pointed to the computer that was surrounded by everyone, "He wants this." ”
Cui Yang was a little stunned, "Can this machine be sold for a million?"
"Hehe, when have you ever seen a capitalist make a loss-making transaction?" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, "They are willing to pay a million, which means that this computer can help them earn hundreds or thousands of times more profits." ”
After Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, he smiled and walked over to his baby computer, separating the crowd of onlookers, "Guys, the time is up, I will let you play again next time." ”
As he spoke, he pressed the shutdown button with one finger.
"Damn!" scolded, one of the guys who was having fun, "I'm going to hit soon!"
"I haven't played yet!"
"Damn, I'll give you money, let me play again, how much do you want?"
"I'll give you money too!"
Zhong Yuemin smiled without saying a word, quickly dismantled the machine and put it in the packing box, "I'm sorry, guys, I'm in a hurry, next time I have a chance." ”
Leaving a room full of scolding people, Zhong Yuemin walked away with Cui Yang holding the cardboard box.
……
Cui Yang trembled all the way to protect the cardboard box in Zhong Yuemin's arms, as if he was afraid of being robbed.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Cui Yang said as he looked around, one hand still in his arms, "This is worth a million! Of course you have to be careful!"
"Hey, this machine is worthless, it was robbed of a lot of a few hundred dollars. Zhong Yuemin pointed to his head, "The real value is here!"
Cui Yang blushed, and then realized that Zhong Yuemin was referring to knowledge and design ideas.
"Will they copy your ideas? They've just played with it. Cui Yang didn't relax for long, and suddenly became nervous.
"I've already applied for a patent, and if they dare to do that, I'm sure there will be countless lawyers who will be willing to help me fight the case for free. Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Besides, I will also update this computer for you constantly." ”
"Oh, then you're here prepared for anything. ”
"Of course, I never fight unprepared battles!"
"Then don't you really regret it? That's my whole million!" Cui Yang counted with his fingers, "It will take me a full thirty years to earn it!"
"I want so much more than that. Zhong Yuemin said softly.
"Donald, are you crazy? Why should we overturn the original results that have been in research for more than a year and follow the ideas of that Chinese kid who doesn't know where to go?"
Professor Donald said, "That Chinese kid is a real genius! After I looked at his computer, I realized that we were thinking wrong, our product audience was too limited, and we abandoned the largest number of consumers!"
"I've heard that Chinese kid's computer has a lot of new features, but I don't think anyone would want to pay five or six thousand dollars for a game console to go home!" said the vice president of IBM, swinging his club vigorously, and the golf ball formed a graceful curved parabola in the air.
"But the Windows system and mouse he developed were really an epoch-making product, and when I saw it at the time, I only had one feeling in my heart, this is a real microcomputer!" Professor Donald said bitterly, "We really can't let it go! If we let our competitors get it, we will be completely passive!"
The vice president thought for a moment, "You offered that kid a million dollars, and he didn't accept it?"
"He didn't accept it, he was only willing to let us use the Windows system and the mouse through a patent license, and we didn't sell a computer with a Windows system to give him $199, and we didn't sell a mouse, we had to give him $1!"
"Hehe, it seems that this Chinese kid has a really big appetite!" the vice president sneered, "Then let's see who dares to use his patent without our nod!"
Professor Donald stopped talking, and sighed deeply helplessly.
In fact, Zhong Yuemin is reluctant to return the Windows system to Microsoft from the bottom of his heart, because he is interested in the Internet industry, and he is not willing to create a strong enemy for himself.
But after receiving a call from Professor Donald, Zhong Yuemin didn't say a word, quit the hotel room, and got back on the road with Cui Yang, speeding towards New York.
may be about to return to the city he is familiar with, and Cui Yang is very happy all the way.
"Yuemin, when do you think China will be as developed as New York?"
"Soon, I think 30 years is enough, and maybe then you will feel that Beijing and Shanghai are more developed than New York. Zhong Yuemin propped his hands on the window, and the wind couldn't blow his hair.
Cui Yang was a little unconvinced, "The United States is the most developed country in the world, and China's Beijing and Shanghai can surpass New York?"
"Yes, China has come out of the chaos and will soon enter a period of rapid development. Zhong Yuemin said: "Moreover, the Chinese have several racial talents that people from other countries do not have." ”
"Talent?"
"Yes, talent, because there is no way to explain it, it can only be called talent. Zhong Yuemin thought and laughed, "The first is hard work, most Chinese will think about working hard, earning money to support their families, saving money to do business, especially overseas Chinese, may be poor at first, but will soon get rich." The second is to attach importance to education, no matter how hard and poor they are, they will think about letting future generations read and strive for class rise through reading; and there is an extraordinary strength of patience, because the Chinese have the strength to not admit defeat in their bones, always thinking about the rotation of feng shui, and tomorrow the emperor will come to my house, so they are willing to endure, accumulate strength, and wait until the day of the outbreak. ”
Cui Yang turned his head to look at Zhong Yuemin, "You're, right?"
"Haha" Zhong Yuemin laughed, "You still found out!"
"You like to make up nonsense since you were a child, the key is that you are still serious, I still believed it at that time, and I especially admired your erudition!" Cui Yang threw him a health ball.
"Haha, when I was in elementary school, I was so great in your mind, how could I not know?" Zhong Yuemin smiled embarrassedly.
The car drove forward again, and Cui Yang said, "Yuemin, sing a song, do you remember the song you sang when you saw me off?"
"I don't remember. ”
"You?!" Cui Yang was so angry that he couldn't do it, looking at the snickering on the corner of Zhong Yuemin's mouth, he knew that he did it on purpose, "You just give me a presence once!"
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword
Take a look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always a little frivolous
Now you call the world home
The girl who once made you feel distressed
Now it is gone
Love always makes you yearn and feel annoyed

"Finally home!" Cui Yang opened the door of the room, quickly threw off the shoes on his feet, ran barefoot to the refrigerator to get beer, and threw a can to Zhong Yuemin, and then fell on the sofa to drink.
Zhong Yuemin was a little dumbfounded, "You don't usually do this less, do you?"
"In my own home, I can do what I like!" Cui Yang said angrily: "If it weren't for you, I would still take off my clothes!"
Zhong Yuemin shrugged, "Then why don't I withdraw first and let you fly at home alone?"
"You are not allowed to go anywhere!" Cui Yang jumped up excitedly.
"Huh?" Zhong Yuemin was a little confused.
"Because of that," Cui Yang was a little incoherent, "how expensive are the hotels in New York! You came to someone to reimburse you last time, and now you have to pay for it yourself, where do you have the money?"
Zhong Yuemin thought about it, and looked at the small one-room household, "Then where do I sleep?"
"Sleep on the sofa!" Cui Yang pointed behind him, looked at Zhong Yuemin, and then at the sofa, "Hehe, it seems that I can't sleep." ”
"That's not nonsense! I'm 1.8 meters, this sofa is 1.5 meters, and there are armrests on both sides, how do you let me sleep?"
"Then why don't you sleep on the ground?" Cui Yang said.
Zhong Yuemin walked to the side of the bed and sat down, "I think this bed is quite comfortable, why don't I sleep on the bed and you sleep on the sofa?"
"I don't want to sleep on the sofa!" Cui Yang said in disgust, "You can't sleep on the sofa, can I sleep?"
"Then why don't we all sleep in the bed, half of us?" Zhong Yuemin said with a wicked smile.
"Amount"
"You won't dare, right?" Zhong Yuemin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you take advantage of me!"
"Hmm, hmm?" Cui Yang was furious after hearing it clearly, "Who will take advantage of you, you big villain!"
"Of course I'm afraid of you! I'm a strong young man in my twenties, and I look better than Pan An, who knows if you will turn into a hungry wolf in the middle of the night and eat me?" Zhong Yuemin deliberately made fun of Cui Yang to death.
"I'm still a yellow flower girl, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of?"
"Oh~ Huanghua girl!" Zhong Yuemin's exaggerated expression made Cui Yang's face flush again.
"You're going to die!"
