This music festival, after the Vietnamese veteran Rambo sang, several of the most famous local bands in New York took turns to appear, which simply turned the whole of New York, according to incomplete statistics, 20,000 people arrived that night.

After a night of madness, newspapers, radio and television across the United States were reporting on the Times Square music festival, which caused a sensation throughout New York.

Everyone is looking for the mysterious Chinese who started the festival and Rambo, a Vietnamese veteran in military uniform, to know their situation and their ideas, because the idea is so fantastic.

At Zhong Yuemin's request, Frank refused to reveal his identity, only that he was a music lover, and that he had the full support of WALL-E.

And the veteran Rambo was easily found, he had to sing in the square every day to beg for a living, and people began to know that he was a combat hero on the battlefield in Vietnam, because of severe post-war psychological syndrome and drug abuse, he couldn't find a company, broke up with his girlfriend, and lived on the streets.

Twelve years after the end of the Vietnam War, public opinion in the United States once again set off a discussion and reflection on the war, and people began to turn their attention to the veterans who had returned from the battlefield in Vietnam and were ostracized by society.

More and more Vietnamese veterans like Rambo who have suffered war trauma, are homeless, and even have broken hands and feet, and are living on the streets, are gradually being reported in the media.

More incisive media people pointed out that hundreds of thousands of good young people were sent to the battlefield in Southeast Asia, and after going through the rain of bullets, birth and death, some lost their arms, some lost their legs, some lost their sight, and some were traumatized.

These innocent veterans are paying for the mistakes of Washington politicians, who have been treated with great injustice, who have been evicted from nursing homes for a while, most of whom have not received the government assistance and post-war care they deserve, and who are confronted with the cold faces of government bureaucrats.

The Vietnamese veterans represented by Rambo once again entered the center of public opinion, and even pushed the Washington Congress to enact the Vietnam Veterans Resettlement and Relief Act.

Zhong Yuemin thought that there were many people that day, and no one should know that the mysterious person was him, but he didn't expect that the hotel where he stayed was blocked by media reporters the next day.

It's funny to say, this incident was discovered by a boring newspaper reader, because the newspaper headlines of the day were either about the music festival, or about the Wali Beta and the Walkman, and the pictures of both reports were Zhong Yuemin, one was about Wali Beta, and the other was singing.

When Zhong Yuemin knew the reason, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he had no choice but to run away from the back door under the cover of the hotel staff.

······

"Yuemin, you're amazing!"

"Professor Donald, what do you mean by that?"

Zhong Yuemin was sitting in an unknown café at this time, and it was Professor Donald in front of him.

"When Steve saw Vali Beta's press conference, he had already dropped three computers in his office. Professor Donald said, "The performance of Beta in all aspects completely overwhelms Steve's Lisa, which is being developed, which is disastrous news for the ongoing launch. ”

"I don't know about that. Zhong Yuemin fumbled and took a sip of coffee, "Beta's release is completely in our planned schedule, and we are not targeting anyone. ”

"Haha, you're still so individual!" Professor Donald, "but you started listing at this time, it can't be said to be a complete coincidence, right?"

"In fact, Wall-E's cash flow is abundant, and we are not under pressure to go public to raise funds, but my shareholders tend to seek security in the face of competition from IBM and Apple's listing. Zhong Yuemin shrugged, "And you know, if Steve gets enough money, it's not good news for Wall-E." ”

"And, you also have the idea of making Wall-E a public company, right?" Professor Donald added.

Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Professor, you are still so sharp. ”

"I guessed this when I knew that Windows was open source. Professor Donald said, "Being a foreigner, especially a Chinese, also makes you insecure, right?"

"I have never had unrealistic expectations of the US government and the capitalists. Zhong Yuemin replied, "When I decided to be only Chinese, I could only let Wali and the United States come to an agreement." ”

"Well, you're such a die-hard nationalist!"

Zhong Yuemin replied: "Sometimes everything can't be done out of utilitarian considerations, that would be too boring. ”

Professor Donald shrugged helplessly, but looked at Zhong Yuemin's unresponsive eyes, and said with concern: "Will the eye condition be better now?"

"There was a slight sense of light, but the doctor didn't have a better treatment plan. Zhong Yuemin shook his head.

Professor Donald said, "Well, maybe your talents make God jealous." ”

Zhong Yuemin thought to himself that his buddy was an atheist, and no one believed it.

"Professor, is Steve putting you in charge of Lisa's computer now?"

"No, this is a project that Wolz is working on, and I'm working on a brand new project that I hope will be able to get out of the situation where I am now lagging behind WALL-E. Professor Donald didn't hide it, "I came to New York this time to see the beta computer for the first time. ”

"What do you think of the beta computer situation? Zhong Yuemin asked.

"Perfect!" Professor Donald did not hesitate to praise, "I bought ten beta computers, and they gave me so much inspiration and inspiration that I think my work is going to start all over again." ”

"Thank you, it's a great honor to have your approval. ”

"As far as I know, IBM has abandoned their original design and redesigned it with the latest products from Wall-E and Apple, and their new head of microcomputer research and development has been fired. Professor Donald has revealed a new piece of information.

"Hah, I didn't expect that to happen. ”

······

Time flies, when Christmas comes, the Walkman launched by WALL-E topped the list of Christmas gifts, whether it is for a girlfriend, a boyfriend, or a child, there are corresponding colors to choose from, and nearly two million units have been sold in a real Christmas season.

It was followed by Vali Beta, which was so attractive in its translucent color that it shipped nearly 700,000 units in just two months.

The large-scale shipment has made the valuation of Wall-E reach $2 billion, and Zhong Yuemin also received news that Apple's valuation has been reduced from the previous $1.7 billion to $1.1 billion, and has been issued an investment risk warning by financial institutions such as ****.

Zhong Yuemin didn't know if there was a shadow of Vincent in the middle, but this was not a bad thing for him.

In response to the acceleration of the IPO progress, Zhong Yuemin signed an option confirmation letter on Christmas Eve, including Peter, Thor, Stephen, Jane, Stephen, Mike, Frank, Cui Yang, Amy, and other 200 people, as their Christmas gifts.

And that means they're all going to be millionaires, a whole two hundred!

The thing that excites ordinary employees is that Zhong Yuemin retains 5% of the equity as an employee equity incentive plan, and all outstanding employees have the opportunity to receive equity awards.

When the news broke, the Wall-E company became a sea of joy! Zhong Yuemin had never heard so many cheers ringing in his ears.

······

Correspondingly, Apple forced its listing on December 12, and the investment bank priced it at $12 per share, and at the close of the day, the stock price fell below the issue price to only $9.7, for which Steve Jobs was furious.

What's even more criticized is Steve's impersonal equity distribution plan, he didn't give Daniel Kotki a stake in it, and this person is his absolute best friend, they went to college together, went to India together, stayed at Unity Lake together, and even joined Apple while it was still in the garage.

Jobs thought that Kotki was just a technical engineer who was paid an hourly salary, and he had no qualifications to discuss the issue of shares with him, and even ignored Kotki for half a year, which made Kotki very sad.

On January 1, 1981, WALL-E was listed on the NASDAQ at $23 per share, nearly twice as much as Apple, and closed at $36 at one o'clock in the afternoon, in sharp contrast to Apple's tragic situation.

Both are computer start-ups, listed within a month, and the founders are all young and wealthy upstarts, Zhong Yuemin and Jobs were naturally put together by the media for all-round comparison.

Even the newspapers were divided into two camps, fighting with each other, and each maintained its own idols, so it was not lively.

The newspapers exclaimed that Wall-E and Apple had contracted almost all the hot spots since the beginning of 1981, so there was no need to worry about the sales of newspapers in recent months.

Jobs didn't worry, Zhong Yuemin didn't know, but he didn't care at all, he decided to give himself a holiday during the Spring Festival, and even drank two more drinks in the evening because he was happy.

······

The best state of drinking is when you are slightly drunk, you seem to be drunk but not drunk, you can't remember any troubles, and you only have the comfort of half dreaming and half waking up.

Zhong Yuemin didn't know when he went to bed, and he didn't know if the light in the room was turned off, or maybe it wasn't turned on at all, anyway, there was no difference.

Zhong Yuemin dreamed of a beautiful woman on a tree, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, only a vague feeling.

He stood at the bottom of the tree, just looked up in a daze, and suddenly remembered how he could see it, and he somehow got to the tree in such a flash.

The woman didn't talk to him, she just looked at him stunned, and suddenly kissed him, soft and glutinous, and a little cold.

But for Zhong Yuemin, it was tantamount to a trumpet that sounded, a lit explosive bag, he and the other party quickly became entangled, and the clothes on his body were nowhere to be found, only desire and trembling.

When the little monk couldn't bear it anymore and was about to charge into battle, Zhong Yuemin suddenly snorted, he regained some calm, thinking that he had really held back for too long, and began to dream of spring after drinking a little more.

He sighed deeply, patted the little monk lightly, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

But he couldn't laugh at once, because the little monk was being held hostage, and then his lips were kissed, and he touched the hot ketone body.

It was as if someone had turned on a switch somewhere in his head, and with just a buzzing sound, Zhong Yuemin lost all consciousness and fell into madness.

······

"Comrade?

"Huh?"

"Comrade, Beijing Capital Airport has arrived, and you can get off the plane. ”

"Oh, sorry, I'm asleep. ”

"It's okay, comrade. The stewardess read countless people, "Comrade, do you need me to help you with your luggage?"

"Oh, no, I only have a small bag with me. All other baggage is checked in, and it may take some time to arrive. ”

"Huh?" the stewardess was stunned for a moment, "The checked luggage can be picked up at the place where you pick up the luggage when you get off the plane, and there will be a sign over there." ”

Zhong Yuemin immediately understood that the stewardess had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't want to say too much, "Okay, thank you, I understand." ”

Zhong Yuemin groped to his feet, and took out his glasses and put them on.

He and Cui Yang arrived in Hong Kong first, and he specially gave Cui Yang a few days off, asking her to go back to accompany her mother first, just let her send her on the plane.

Only then did the stewardess realize that there was a blind man in front of her, so she hurriedly grabbed Zhong Yuemin's hand and walked to the place where she got off the plane, "I'm sorry, comrade, I didn't know ······ you"

"It's okay, I'm not used to it!" Zhong Yuemin said with relief.

"Then I'll take you to the terminal, do you have a family to pick you up?"

"There should be. ”

······

Probably to make up for his previous mistakes, the stewardess escorted him all the way to the place where he picked up his luggage, and Zhong Yuemin even felt the envious gaze of passers-by.

"Why are so many people looking at us?"

The stewardess stared at Zhong Yuemin in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Everywhere we go, there's no sound, and I guess either you're too ugly or you're too pretty. Zhong Yuemin replied with a smile.

"Phew, you're so ugly!" the stewardess spatted softly.

"That is, you are too beautiful, so greedy for me, and you attract hatred. Zhong Yuemin said poorly: "Then you better leave me here alone, this blessing is really unbearable." ”

"No, your eyes are inconvenient, how can I ignore it?" the stewardess was anxious, "I still have to take you to get your luggage!"

"You don't have to take your luggage, all I have with me is this bag, you just send me to the pick-up gate." ”

"Huh, didn't you say you had checked baggage?"

"I didn't say it was a random check-in?" Zhong Yuemin said: "My luggage is probably still floating in the Pacific Ocean!"

"And how much luggage do you have?"

"A few containers. ”
