After instructing Julian Robertson for the next year, Wu Ming returned to the company in Silicon Valley.

As soon as he returned to the company, Wu Ming recruited Mark Hurd and Charles Simeone into the office.

"BOSS, what's the matter?" Seeing Wu Mingshen's mystery, Simone couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Mark Hurd also looked at Wu Ming with a confused expression.

Wu Ming looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and then said slowly: "The oil futures have been delivered, and the two of you have earned a total of three million dollars." ”

"Hahaha!"

"Great!"

Mark Hurd and Charles Simeone were stunned for a moment after hearing this, but when they came back to their senses, they immediately cheered.

"Hey!"

After cheering, Mark Hurd suddenly sighed.

Mark Hurd's sigh immediately caught Wu Ming's attention, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong, Mark?"

Mark Hurd said with a depressed face: "I really regret that I didn't invest all my net worth in the first place, otherwise I could have earned more now." ”

Wu Ming and Simone glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Wu Ming suggested: "If you don't want to keep your money in the bank, you can put it in my 'Tiger Fund' under the Star Investment Management Company, although it can't guarantee a steady profit or loss, but it will definitely earn more than you put in the bank." ”

Mark Hurd and Charles Simeone both nodded, and they used to hear about those Wall Street deeds. I know that someone can rely on various means to make a difference in the stock, futures and currency markets, but I have never really touched it.

Now that I know that there is such a powerful person, I naturally won't put my money in the bank to eat that little bit of interest.

In the nearly two months that he waited for oil prices to soar to the peak, Wu Ming was not idle.

At this time, the computer operating system was not as complex as in later generations, and Wu Ming was also a programmer with a solid foundation in his previous life, and he was more interested in software development in college, and he was very familiar with the two major operating systems, Linux and Windows.

Although I later joined a game company, I could only develop games, and I lost all my previous skills. But after being reborn, he picked up all those skills again.

Therefore, with the help of Wu Ming, the development of the Polaris 1.0 system has entered the final stage, and it will be officially over in about a week.

At the same time, in the past two months, Wu Ming has also started to sell two computer software developed in Xiangjiang.

One is a word processing software called "Wordeasy", which means "simple text".

Originally, Wu Ming was going to name it "Wordstar", that is, "Wordstar", but now there is a software with the same name on the market.

Another good name, "Wordperfect", has already been used, and Wu Ming has to use the name "Wordeasy".

Word processing software is a software often used by computer users, such as Microsoft's MS-Word and Kingsoft's WPS text, which are often used by later generations.

The leader of word processing software in this era is still MicroPro's Wordstar.

Two years later, two years later, Wordsstar had sold more than 1 million units, and MicroPro had become one of the largest software companies in the United States.

It can be said that most office clerks around the world have crossed the threshold of OA (office automation) with the help of Wordstar.

With such a strong competitor as soon as it hit the market, Wordeasy's results were naturally not much better, after all, the user interface used by computers today is still a command-line interface, not a graphical interface later.

Some of Wu Ming's ideas were not implemented at all, and there was no gap between Wordeasy and other word processing software on the market.

The other software is spreadsheet software, because most of this software is borrowed from Microsoft's Excel, plus Excel was developed under the leadership of Charles Simeone, and Simone is now his own subordinate, so Wu Ming directly named this spreadsheet "Excel".

Like its sibling, Wordeasy, Excel hit the market with a strong competitor, VisiCalc, the world's first spreadsheet office software.

In the U.S. market, there are now more than 100,000 Apple II PCs. 居然就有2万5千台 Apple 机被主要用来执行这种电子的表格，占到苹果公司总销量的20%以上。

In the face of such a strong opponent, Excel cannot take advantage of the platform of the Apple machine at all, but falls behind everywhere, and can only adopt the strategy of slowly encroaching.

Fortunately, VisiCorp, which developed the software, didn't look far enough to develop the CP/M version of VisiCalc right after, leaving an opportunity for others to take advantage of. 

You must know that at this time, in the 8-bit computer market, in addition to Apple machines, the CP/M operating system in a dominant position also controls half of the country.

Wu Ming saw that his competitors had made such a big mistake, so he was naturally ready to start from this aspect and develop the CP/M version of Excel to seize the market.

After the delivery of oil futures, Wu Ming began to devote himself to the development of the Polaris 1.0 system.

"No, no, you're wrong...... That's how it should be......"

In the company, Wu Ming is correcting the mistakes of a group of developers.

Charles Simone looked at Wu Ming with a smile on his face, and asked, "BOSS, how about it, I gave them all the advanced concepts and ideas you said, and their strength is much stronger than before." ”

Wu Ming nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's really good, it's a little stronger than my gang of men in Xiangjiang,"

Charles Simeone showed an emotional expression and sighed: "BOSS, your MASM is so easy to use, our development efficiency has been increased by more than half compared to before." ”

The full name of MASM is macroassembler, and the Chinese name is macro assembler. It is an assembly language platform for a set of development software that Wu Ming searched from memory in order to improve the development efficiency of Polaris people.

Wu Ming smiled and said, "It's easy to use, otherwise it won't be in vain for me to make this set of programming tools." ”

Fortunately, the inventor of MASM in later generations could not travel through time and space, otherwise he would have to fight with him when he heard Wu Ming's shameless words.

"BOSS, can I change it like this?" asked the developer.

Wu Ming looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, remember not to make the same mistake in the future." ”

"Understood. ”

The developer looked at Wu Ming with admiration.

When Wu Ming first arrived, this group of developers didn't treat him as the boss and treated him with respect.

They were very opposed to Wu Ming as a child and participated in their development work.

It wasn't until Wu Ming showed him a few times that they agreed to Wu Ming joining their development.

In the process of development, Wu Ming's outstanding performance and foresight from time to time constantly shocked them and shocked their nerves.

Now, they have all become loyal fans of Wu Ming.
