Chapter 309: The Gods Return to Their Places
After Zhong Yuemin entered the office, his mood was broken, almost everyone turned into foodies, gathered around Mike's food truck stall, and there were few people who cared about Wall-E One.
Mike wore an apron and was sweating profusely, "What sauce do you want?"
"Of course it's the sweet noodle sauce!The pancakes with the sweet noodle sauce are authentic, and the rest is all nonsense!"
Jane was mixed up and asked, "Really? I think it seems good to add ketchup?"
"No, no, no, the ketchup tastes too sour, which affects the texture of the pastry, so it must be sweet pastry!" The man took it from Mike's hand, took a big sip, and said to Jane: "Add a little more hot sauce, and it will be perfect!"
"Mike, bring me a set of pancakes with sweet and hot sauce!" Jane shouted to Mike, drooling.
"Get in line!" shouted one of the foodies waiting in front of him in unison.
Jane had no choice but to run to the back of the line in disdain under the disdainful gaze of a row of foodies.
……
Johnny was also helping Mike at this time, helping to make potstickers, but in fact, he was helping to put the raw potstickers on the iron plate, light the fire, and then adjust the size of the fire according to Mike's instructions, and when the potstickers were cooked, he packed them and distributed them to the guests, and then took the opportunity to steal two.
With such a partner in the stall, Zhong Yuemin can only shrug his shoulders, since Mike changed to pancakes and potstickers, Johnny's favorite food has become potstickers, and the pork filling has just come out of the pot.
Mike's performance made Zhong Yuemin feel very relieved, and he was old-fashioned in spreading batter, beating eggs, applying paste, applying chili sauce, putting grates, and wrapping cakes in one go, without the slightest delay, which was breathtaking.
Zhong Yuemin looked at it and felt that he had integrated the kung fu of Tai Chi into the action of spreading the cakes, and nodded secretly in his heart, the child can be taught.
"Are pancakes a Chinese food?" Professor Donald nibbled on a pancake, "it tastes so good." ”
"Pancakes originated in Tianjin, a city on the edge of Beijing, and are a favorite breakfast for the locals, and are gradually becoming popular with many city dwellers. Zhong Yuemin introduced him, "Many ingredients in the United States are not authentic, if you have the opportunity, you are welcome to go to China to try authentic pancakes." ”
"It's a pleasure, in a country where breakfast is so good, there will definitely be a lot of good food!" Professor Donald couldn't help but take two more bites in a row.
Zhong Yuemin looked back and saw that Professor Anderson had left.
"As long as I'm there, that guy will itch all over his body, he's long gone. Professor Donald finished his pancake and wiped his mouth contentedly, "But this time he won, and he has your back." ”
"We still have a lot of problems right now, and there is still a long way to go for WALL-E to get an interview. ”
"These are small problems, you have to believe in yourself. Professor Donald said, "I sincerely hope that you will succeed and let the arrogant ghosts of IBM suffer their own bitter consequences!"
"Professor, what are you?"
"I left IBM. "Those stupid and arrogant guys who want to make the world's first microcomputer have no respect for science," Professor Donald said. ”
"But isn't Apple the world's first microcomputer?" Zhong Yuemin wondered.
"No, Apple is just a startup, IBM is waving a lot of money, and he wants to say that he is number one, that is number one. Professor Donald sneered.
Zhong Yuemin thought to himself, when Apple becomes strong in the future, it is estimated that this will be another lawsuit of words.
"Professor, would you like to come to Wal-E?" Zhong Yuemin invited.
Professor Donald smiled, "Forget it, Anderson is here, I better not join in the fun." ”
"Then you are ready next"
"Let's rest for a while. Professor Donald sighed, "Jobs invited me to visit Apple, and maybe I'll play with them." ”
"Jobs had a bad temper, and it wasn't easy to get along with him. Zhong Yuemin said.
"Do you know Steve?"
"No, I just heard. Zhong Yuemin said: "They designed such a great Apple computer, of course I have to inquire." ”
"Young people just have to be a little bit driven, and maybe working with them makes me more passionate. Professor Donald said disapprovingly.
"I hope so. Zhong Yuemin shrugged.
Since the launch of the Appleii personal computer, Apple has entered a stage of rapid development.
Because of the lag in information in this era, ordinary people on the East Coast are not familiar with Apple, but people in the industry are very concerned, especially two young entrepreneurs, Steve Jobs and Watts.
Zhong Yuemin even knew that by the end of 1980, Apple would be listed on the NASDAQ, and its stock price would skyrocket.
History does not leave much time window for Wall-E, but Zhong Yuemin also has enough confidence that the continuous improvement of the Windows system will make the user experience of Wall-E 1 far exceed that of Apple 2.
But WALL-E also faced problems, and after the opening ceremony, only Zhong Yuemin and Johnny were left in the entire office, and a Mike who was cleaning up the dishes, and the lack of manpower made the development of the window system extremely slow.
Zhong Yuemin has built the framework, but the development of functional modules of each subsystem is extremely cumbersome, and he often faces the problem of system and hardware adaptation.
Zhong Yuemin and Johnny worked in the office for a week, drinking countless cups of soy milk, Johnny finally couldn't stand it, he was originally a second-in-command in software programming, he was better at hardware, and he endured it for so long, completely out of his desire for Playboy Bunny.
"Min, I'd better go and help you contact the publisher and let your robot WALL-E get published sooner. "Johnny found a brilliant excuse.
"No, I've already asked Mike to go, he's more familiar with the publishing house. Zhong Yuemin pushed away the keyboard and became lazy.
Johnny exclaimed, "What!?Mike is our friend, but his skin color is not conducive to negotiation, you really did it?!"
"He's a chimpanzee, I'm a yellow-skinned monkey, it's not much better!" Zhong Yuemin laughed at himself, seeing that Johnny still wanted to persuade him, so he said: "Let's go, we have more important work." ”
Zhong Yuemin took his coat and pushed open the office door, it was just dawn.
"Where?" said Johnny.
"Recruit!" Zhong Yuemin said, "Relying on the two of us, even if we are tired and vomit blood, it is estimated that we will not be able to finish this system, I have to ask for a little fresh blood." ”
"Oh my God! you've finally figured it out!" Johnny almost cried tears of joy, "I told you a long time ago, we're going to have to recruit the best guys to join us!"
"Hey, man, think about our account, we can't afford to pay!"
Johnny suddenly wilted, they had recently bought a lot of integrated circuit boards and chips and came back to study, and there was not much money left in the account allocated by the school foundation.
"And what are you going to do?"
Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "Shanren has their own clever plan, you just need to exert your strength." ”
Johnny was stunned.
……
Zhong Yuemin had a list in his hand, which he had obtained from Professor Anderson, and it was a transcript of a classwork.
Just a few days ago, Zhong Yuemin asked Professor Anderson to conduct a class quiz for all students in the college to develop a simple calendar software.
Only about one-twentieth, less than ten students completed on time, Zhong Yuemin looked at their homework, two or three completed beautifully, others were a little dull.
Walking to the door of a student dormitory, Zhong Yuemin looked at the list and confirmed that it was correct, "Kick the door!"
"Isn't it okay to knock on the door?" Johnny said speechlessly, "What if the door is broken?
Zhong Yuemin looked at his watch and said, "It's six o'clock in the morning, are you sure you can wake up these night owls?"
Without saying a word, Johnny turned to the door and kicked the whole house's glass windows.
The two people who lived inside were covered in **, wrapped in a blanket and rushed out of the door, and shouted in their mouths, "Run, there is an earthquake, run!"
Zhong Yuemin grabbed one of them, "Calm, it's not an earthquake." ”
"What happened? Who are you? The robber?" the man was shocked, and a series of questions popped out of his mouth.
Zhong Yuemin didn't bother to answer, and asked directly, "Who is Peter Parker?"
"Who are you?"
"Who's Peter Parker?"
“……”
"Who?" Zhong Yuemin roared.
The other person said, "I ......."
"Okay, come with me. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
"Sir, has something happened?" the man asked weakly, crying.
Don't blame him, whoever is dragged out of the bed early in the morning, there are still two strong men in front of him, and he is probably scared to pee.
"Are you Peter Parker from the School of Computer Science?" Zhong confirmed.
"Yes, sir. ”
"Ok, don't be nervous, we're from WALL-E Computer Systems, we've seen the program you wrote, it's great, I'd like to invite you to join us. Zhong Yuemin thought he was amiable.
"Is that the company that gives out pancakes and potstickers for free?" said another.
"Yes. Zhong Yuemin asked, "You also went that day?"
"That's right, the pancakes are so delicious!" Seeing that Zhong Yuemin was a little cold, the man was immediately a little embarrassed, and added: "Your Wall-E computer is also very good, but the operating system may be a little more flexible." ”
Zhong Yuemin was a little surprised: "What's your name?"
"Stephen, Stephen Strand. ”
Zhong Yuemin thought of this person, "Why didn't you complete the class test?"
"What class test?" wondered Stephen.
"Calendar software programming, you only wrote half of it, can you tell me why?" Zhong Yuemin asked as he flipped out his test paper.
Stephen smiled embarrassedly: "I rushed to the pancake mike to line up that day, and I only wrote half of it, and if I went late, I wouldn't have to eat." ”
This reason is really amazing, Zhong Yuemin was speechless.
"Peter, have you seen our WALL-E computer too?" Zhong Yuemin asked Peter Parker, turning his head.
"Yes, your computer is the best I've ever seen. Peter was not nervous now, "Sir, may I take my eyes? ”
"Of course, you can also put your clothes on. Zhong Yuemin then understood why he was always unfocused.
Stephen hurriedly put on his clothes when he heard this, "Sir, are you recruiting?"
"Yes, we're hiring, $30 a day, including food and lodging. Johnny replied.
Stephen was excited as soon as he heard about it, "Do you provide pancakes and potstickers every day?"
"Of course, Pancake Mike is our company's executive chef, and pancakes and potstickers are all you want!" says Johnny.
"Then I'll join you too!" said Stephen, who didn't even put on his pants.
Zhong Yuemin hugged his arms, "We don't want everyone, your test score is not enough." ”
"No! it's not fair! I didn't know you liked it, and it was too easy for me!" said Stephen.
"Oh, you don't have to pay taxes to brag, how do I know if what you're saying is true or not?"
Stephen took the paper and pen, lay on the table and began to write, Zhong Yuemin glanced at his watch, 6:35.
Unexpectedly, five points short of seven, Stephen handed in the papers, and then leaned back in his chair sweating profusely, obviously fighting for the food.
Zhong Yuemin picked up his answer and looked at it, and found that this kid really had two strokes, with clear thinking, clear logic, and concise sentences, and the most important thing was to complete it in such a short time.
"Congratulations, you've received a long-term free meal ticket from WALL-E. Zhong Yuemin said to Stephen.
"Yes!"
Naturally, Peter joined their team.
After that, they did the same, pulling two other students, Thor and Steve, into their team.
……
The last candidate, Zhong Yuemin didn't dare to kick the door.
"Jane, we urgently need your help!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile on his face.
"I'm so tired and have a lot of homework. ”
"You can work two hours a day, any time you want. Zhong Yuemin said.
"I've been sitting for too long, and I've gotten worse in shape. ”
Zhong Yuemin hurriedly said: "I will personally match you with Chinese food to ensure that it is delicious and delicious!"
"Every day?" said Jane's eyes.
"As long as you come, it's guaranteed!"
"You did it. ”
"I'll do it, as long as you can program quickly and well. ”
"No problem! it's on me!" Jane said, patting her chest.
Zhong Yuemin is grateful, but Jane's shaking chest is really dramatic.
……
With the addition of Peter, Stephen, Stephen, Thor, and Jane, WALL-E Computer Systems is finally becoming a regular company, and the Windows system is getting better and better.
Johnny also gathered a number of like-minded people through the Pittsburgh Ham Gathering.
The so-called ham family refers to amateur radio amateurs who have mastered certain electronic skills to learn, make and use radio. But in fact, these people are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are all kinds of strange people.
In an instant, the office of WALL-E was crowded with people.
In addition to writing code, everyone is waiting for pancakes, Mike's pancakes and potstickers, and urging Zhong Yuemin to cook Chinese food and add food.
I don't know when cooking has become Zhong Yuemin's biggest task, and he may be the CEO of the technology company that knows how to cook the most. Fupin Chinese
