Chapter 178: The mood is complicated
In a dorm room on the Berkeley campus in the San Francisco Bay Area, Randall is staring intently at his computer in the dorm room.
Randall is a first-year student in Berkeley's computer science department, and he is very strong in computers, and he is the president of Berkeley's computer club.
He has received offers from Microsoft, Apple and some large companies, but Randall has declined, he feels that his computer skills are not strong enough, and he needs to continue to learn from professors.
It's 8:50 a.m. on April 15, and at this time, he's either going to class or typing code in his dorm room.
There was no class today, and he naturally sat in front of the computer, holding the mouse in his right hand and the keyboard with his left hand, and it was clear that he was not typing code.
His hands didn't move, and his eyes were staring straight at the computer screen, as if a predator was watching his prey.
Randall's dormitory is also occupied by 4 people, and his 3 roommates are also sitting in front of the computer, their hands not moving, their eyes looking at the screen, but not as focused as Randall.
Randall's eyes suddenly blinked a few times, and then his eyes looked at the time on the computer, and he couldn't help but froze.
He vividly remembers turning on the computer at 8 o'clock, holding the mouse in his right hand, resting his left hand on the keyboard, and staring at the screen.
It's 8:50 a.m., and he's looking at a computer screen in this way for 50 minutes, no wonder his eyes ache.
You must know that usually he has been looking at the screen for several hours, and his eyes will not be sore.
I'm so nervous!" Randall said to himself in his heart, but his nervousness today seemed inevitable.
The computer screen in front of him shows a countdown, and after this countdown is over, a download page will appear, and the content of the download is a software, this software is called Future Community.
Randall knew about the Future community for a long time, because the Future community was developed without secrecy.
When he was chatting with a friend in Stanford's computing department, he was told that Stanford's top computer science students were working on several websites.
The names of these websites are Future Music, Future Navigation, and Future Community, among which the Future Community website is the most important and the most difficult to develop.
The people who developed the website included Garriti, West, Noll, etc., and the development commissioner was Xu Qing.
When Randall knew this information at that time, he had been paying attention to it, and from time to time he and that friend learned about the development progress of several websites.
Some time ago, Future Music and Future Navigation were developed and launched, and he immediately downloaded these two websites to study them carefully.
The conclusion is that both sites are excellent and excellent in every way.
This conclusion did not surprise Randall too much, because the development of music websites and navigation websites is relatively low, as long as he is willing to spend some resources, the developed website will not be bad, and the future community is what he really cares about.
Randall didn't know why he was paying so much attention to these websites, was it because of Stanford, or Garriday, or Xu Qing?
Berkeley and Stanford are both in the San Francisco Bay Area, both of the top universities in the United States, and they are both very strong in computers, and the two sides often fight openly and secretly.
Admissions, academic achievements, student grades, and other aspects are being compared by both sides.
In recent years, Berkeley has been on a par with Stanford in these areas, and neither has been able to overpower anyone, but that changed last year.
Stanford produced a student named Xu Qing, who turned a multimillion-dollar company on the verge of collapse into a company with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars in less than a year.
Then he launched the electronic pet that swept the world, and Xu Qing's net worth skyrocketed, reaching the $1 billion net worth level.
With a net worth of $1 billion, the United States can rank in the top 100, making it the richest person under the age of 20 in the world.
Out of such a demonic figure as Xu Qing, Stanford naturally wants to vigorously publicize it, and by the way, he despises Berkeley, Berkeley is very angry, but he is helpless.
What makes Berkeley angry the most is that the vast majority of female students in Berkeley actually regard Xu Qing as a male god.
Many female students have posters of Xu Qing in their dormitories, uh, they can't be considered posters, they are those female students who got Xu Qing's photos from somewhere, and then enlarged and printed these photos into posters.
Can you be a little more reserved! Xu Qing is not a star, and he is also a student of Stanford, how can you put his picture on the wall! The principal of Berkeley wanted to say this.
Randall was a student in Berkeley's computer science department and had been following Stanford's computer science department since he entered the school.
He knew that there was a strong student in Stanford's computer science department, Garriti, who had also turned down invitations from Microsoft and Apple.
In order to understand Garridy's strength, Randall once hacked into Garridy's computer, but was discovered by Garrite, and the two sides engaged in a fierce fight, and finally Randall lost.
From then on, Randall was very concerned about Garridy's information, and he even knew about Garridy's roommates.
West and Noel's strength is good, but they can't compare to him, Xu Qing is a gentleman, and Randle has no interest in paying attention.
However, people who were once not interested in paying attention are now more serious than paying attention to Garrity, and Randall really wants to lament the impermanence of the world.
Xu Qing's dazzling aura on his body, and Xu Qing is also a member of the Stanford Computer Science Department, it is difficult for Randall not to pay attention to it.
Randall's concern about Xu Qing's computer strength is not the same as that of a computer idiot in Randall's eyes, he focuses on Xu Qing's business.
The more I pay attention, the more I feel that Xu Qing is terrible, and it is not by luck that he can have a net worth of $1 billion in just one year.
Although Randall was paying attention to Xu Qing, Xu Qing's business had never been involved in the computer field, and Randall felt strange.
Xu Qing is a student of the Department of Computer Science, so can't he see that the computer field is getting better and better? Isn't he going to go to the computer field to make money?
Now, Xu Qing has finally been involved in the computer field, and Randall's attention to Xu Qing has never been greater.
The music website and navigation website that Xu Qing commissioned from Stanford Computer Club are great, but what about the community website that will be launched today?
Randall looked at the time again, and at 8:58, he hurriedly stared at the screen, his hands ready.
At 9 o'clock, a download page appeared on Randall's computer screen, he immediately clicked on the download, and after more than 10 minutes, the future community download was completed.
He clicked on the future community, and a beautiful interface appeared in front of him, and he was stunned for a few seconds when he saw this interface.
Taking a few deep breaths, Randall returned to exploring the future community with the mouse, and after half an hour, Randall put down the mouse in a complicated mood.
Xu Qing's net worth is about to skyrocket again! Garriti's strength is too strong! Stanford is going to be swaying again!
This was Randall's thought at this time.
