"What are you drawing?" Cui Yang said curiously, looking at the messy lines on the manuscript paper.

"Tape player. Zhong Yuemin replied, "The current cassette machines are stupid and stupid, it's really boring!"

"But the picture you drew ······" Cui Yang looked at Zhong Yuemin's achievements with some confusion.

"Isn't it messy. "Zhong Yuemin is still self-aware, when his eyes are good, his painting level is average, and there is no reason why he can still draw well if he can't see.

"Well, a little. ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "Call Johnny in a moment, I want him to make some gadgets." ”

"Okay, I'll go call!" Cui Yang was also very happy, Zhong Yuemin didn't fall into passivity because of his blindness, and it was really good that he was willing to find something to do, so she went out happily as she spoke.

······

Zhong Yuemin was completely immersed in the world of creation, no, copying at this time, and now that he couldn't see it, he realized that this world was too monotonous.

Walkmans, headphones, LCD screens, smart speakers, mobile phones, laptops, tablets······ Zhong Yuemin didn't care about the limitations of the existing technology, he was crooked, and he was ready to find some work for Johnny.

Suddenly, he heard a slight footstep in the direction of the door, "Cui Yang, are you back?"

No response.

"You're bullying me, I can't see it, right? You wait!" Zhong Yuemin thought Cui Yang was teasing him.

The other party still didn't say a word, but he shouldn't have left.

"Who are you?" Zhong Yuemin hesitated for a moment, stared at the direction of the door, and asked out loud.

There was still no response.

Zhong Yuemin jumped off the hospital bed at once, and knocked the small table on the ground, "Qin Ling, is it you······?"

"Yuemin, Yuemin, what's wrong with you, how did you get out of bed?"

This was Cui Yang's voice, and she held Zhong Yuemin in her arms.

Zhong Yuemin hurriedly pursued in the direction of the door, but he tripped over a stool before he took two steps, so he had to ask Cui Yang: "Did you see someone coming out of the ward just now?"

"No······" Cui Yanghu looked at the door suspiciously, "You are the only one in the room." ”

"That's not right!" Zhong Yuemin said excitedly: "Someone was obviously here just now!"

"But, really not?!" Cui Yang helped the emotional Zhong Yuemin sit back on the bed, "Could it be that you are mistaken?"

As soon as Cui Yang's words came out, she regretted it, she looked at Zhong Yuemin who was staring blankly, "I'm sorry, Yuemin." ”

Zhong Yuemin also calmed down at this time, "It's okay, maybe I was mistaken." ”

“······ Then I'll go out and have a look later······" Cui Yang picked up the table and picked up the paper and pen that had fallen on the ground.

"No need, you go get busy first, I'm a little tired. Zhong Yuemin fumbled and lay back on the bed, "Johnny will call me again when he comes." ”

"Okay, you can rest first. ”

······

Although there was no basis, Zhong Yuemin was still very sure in his heart that that person was Qin Ling, maybe it was breath, or maybe it was feeling.

He didn't know what happened to Qin Ling, and he didn't know why she didn't meet him, the only thing he knew was that she had been paying attention to him.

And the other party should also be safe, that would be enough, Zhong Yuemin comforted himself.

……

Zhong Yuemin stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and the doctors were still helpless, but fortunately his eyes did not deteriorate further.

During his hospitalization, WALL-E's shareholders called to inquire about his condition, and three Intel bigwigs even came to visit him.

But what Zhong Yuemin felt was their anxiety, Apple had started the process of listing on the NASDAQ, and Walli, as a direct competitor, was caught in public opinion speculation because of his accidental blindness, and it was really impossible for them not to worry.

……

When Mr. Min returned to the public eye, he was only three days after he was discharged from the hospital.

WALL-E held a grand product launch at the brand-new WALL-E House in Manhattan, New York.

Different from the trend of bell bottoms at this time, Zhong Yuemin wore slim light blue jeans, a plain gray T-shirt, and a pair of white flying sneakers under his feet.

He didn't wear sunglasses, but stood quietly on a makeshift stage with a huge movie screen of photographs of landscapes from around the world.

Zhong Yuemin has headphones stuffed in his ears, supports his legs, and gently beats with the music, relaxed and free.

There were dozens of media from all over the world in the audience, and they looked at Zhong Yuemin curiously, wondering how his eyes were, and what the products of this conference were, but no one bothered him, and everyone waited quietly.

"Did you hear that?" Zhong Yuemin took off the headphones in his ears, "The songs of the Travelers are amazing!"

Only then did everyone realize that the ballad "Five Hundred Miles" was playing on the stereo just now.

“IfyoumissthetrainI'mon

If you missed the train I was on

……”

Zhong Yuemin pointed to his ears, "I can't see with my eyes, I seem to have really enjoyed the beauty of music." ”

"Haha······"

"OK, I can't see you right now, and I can't see the flash. Zhong Yuemin said: "Next, you can take pictures unscrupulously." Look here. ”

Zhong Yuemin raised the headphones in his hand, and a photo of a huge headset was also released on the movie screen behind him.

"This is a little idea I have lying in the hospital bed, you know, sometimes it's not a good thing to have too sensitive ears, at that time I just wanted to plug my ears, listen to soft music, and sleep well!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have a group of genius colleagues, and they quickly helped me realize this idea, that's it, in-ear headphones, plug one on the left and one on the right, the music will float in your ears, and you will enter the world alone." ”

Zhong Yuemin held it high, and a larger and more detailed photo was displayed behind him.

Nowadays, there are no digital projectors, let alone such huge electronic screens, so you can only prepare the film in advance and play it through a movie projector.

"What?" Zhong Yuemin pinched one ear and looked at the audience, "You ask where the music comes from?"

Zhong Yuemin picked up the earphone cable and slowly pulled it up, and the eyes of the audience also looked down the earphone cable, and finally the earphone cable was not in Zhong Yuemin's pants pocket.

Zhong Yuemin stood in the middle of the stage, then reached into his pocket and slowly pulled out a metallic tone box with a headphone cable plugged in.

"This is my gadget for listening to music, I call it the Walkman, which can hold a cassette tape, supports fast forward, backward and abort, is powered by two No. 5 batteries, and can play for ten hours without stopping. Zhong Yuemin introduced that the curtain behind him also showed the various functions of the Walkman.

"As you can see, it's the size of your palm, 2.5 centimeters thick, and you fit it completely in your pocket, pinned to your belt, or just in your hand. Zhong Yuemin pressed the start button as he spoke, the tape rustled, he unplugged his headphones, and the song of "Five Hundred Miles" fluttered out of the machine.

"Wow~" There was silence in the audience, and everyone listened quietly to the singing from the Walkman.

At this time, the huge curtain quietly changed to a photo, showing a row of Walkmans of various colors.

"We launched six colours, metallic silver, sky blue, flattery red, princess pink, champagne gold, ivory, and we wanted to satisfy everyone's preferences. Zhong Yuemin put the Walkman in his hand back into his pocket, "I prefer silver." ”

"Haha······"

Someone couldn't help but ask aloud, "How much? I'm going to buy one!"

"Wow, did you raise your hand and say you wanted to buy it when you heard Lisa's story?" Zhong Yuemin joked, "You probably won't have that good luck." ”

"I hope this price will satisfy you!" Zhong Yuemin pointed towards the curtain, and the photo on it changed instantly, and a huge "$19.9" appeared on it.

"Oh!" almost the audience was excited, this was a price far lower than expected, as if it was a gift from Mr. Min after he was discharged from the hospital.

When the venue was a little quieter, Zhong Yuemin said: "I will give all the reporters and friends who are invited here today, each with a Walkman, and the color is optional." ”

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and they were stunned by this surprise, and each person gave one to them, there are hundreds of people here!

"Mr. Min!Mr. Min!Mr. Min!······"

First a few people, then a group of people, and finally everyone, cheered rhythmically, desperately calling Zhong Yuemin and greeting him.

Zhong Yuemin walked back and forth on the stage, quietly waiting for the cheers of the people to subside.

At this time, Frank pushed up a box, he was wearing a sky blue polo shirt today, he looked very young, he walked behind Zhong Yuemin gently, whispered a reminder, and helped Zhong Yuemin to walk to the box.

As if realizing something, the reporters in the audience suddenly fell silent, stretched their necks, held their cameras high, and were ready to press the shutter at any time.

"Today I would like to solemnly introduce to you today's protagonist. Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Vali Beta!"

A huge name appeared on the curtain, causing everyone to cheer.

"Beta was originally scheduled to be released in December of this year, but my colleagues were so good that they got it out two months ahead of schedule. Zhong Yuemin laughed at himself: "Maybe I'm not in the company, and the work efficiency will be higher for them!"

"Haha......" The audience laughed, and Frank, Johnny, Peter and others present couldn't help laughing, probably proud, not to mention Zhong Yuemin's self-deprecating agreement.

Zhong Yuemin's work is too picky, if there are ten plans, he will ask to try again, pick out the best plan, and then put forward ten improvement plans, and then try, until the formal plan is put into production, you never know what the final plan is.

"Clearer screens, richer colors, easier to use Windows systems, cooler shapes, faster CPUs, larger memory, and support for more external devices. ”

One phrase after another jumped out of the curtain, and everyone's expectations were even higher.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhong Yuemin fumbled and opened the cardboard box, and a light blue crystal clear guy was held out by him.

"Oh, Jesus!"

"Is this a crystal skull?"

……

The audience in the front row erupted in exclamation.

The audience who sat a little farther away also saw the true face of Vali Beta from the movie screen.

The translucent blue shell, like the blue of the lake, through the shell, the electronic components inside are clearly visible, and all the chips and circuits are arranged according to an aesthetic law.

Frank helps Zhong Yuemin power the streets of Valibeta, and with the crisp sound of the machine running, people can see the electricity and data flowing on the computer circuit board.

As the screen lit up, the WALL-E robot icon appeared on it, it opened its eyes, blinked a few times, as if it had just woken up from its slumber, "Hello, world!"

"Oh my God!"

“funk！”

······

This greeting pushed the atmosphere of the audience to a climax.

Zhong Yuemin stood on the stage smiling, enjoying the amazement and praise of everyone.

"I really like the color of the transparent water, and I put it on the beta shell and hope to see it when I work. Zhong Yuemin continued, "Although I can't see it now, I still hope you can like it." ”

"Papapa······" Everyone applauded excitedly.

"Also, my colleagues have designed a lot of colors, right next to them, and I hope they can meet your requirements. Zhong Yuemin pointed to the surroundings of the venue.

Only then did everyone realize that the booth of the Wali House was already full of colorful Wali Beta computers.

"The most important thing is ······" Zhong Yuemin pointed to the number on the huge screen, "The price of $2,999, I hope you don't think it's expensive." ”

······

The second half of the conference was handed over to Peter Parker, who officially announced the establishment of Windows Inc., the Windows system is fully free of charge, and open to all computing manufacturers, and at the same time called on computer program enthusiasts around the world to join the Windows system development program, make computers more usable, and make the world more exciting!

Zhong Yuemin had returned to the office at this time, and he could think of how much impact today's conference would have on Apple, IBM and Microsoft, and it was quite happy to be able to make some trouble for these bigwigs.

······

In the evening, Zhong Yuemin made an appointment with a team of listing consultants, including investment banks, legal advisers, and accountants, and invited them to a Chinese meal.

The team of consultants had already been set up earlier, had already started their initial due diligence, and they even attended the launch of Vali Beta.
