Chapter Twenty-Five: Dinner

At the end of the seventies, it was at the dawn of the development of microcomputers, and the IT bosses in the future were still exploring at this time, Intel's main business was memory, not CPU; Microsoft is selling the Basic compiler everywhere; Oracle's predecessor, RSI, relied on flickering to survive; Among the exceptions, HP is still obsessed with minicomputers, and the blue giant IBM has no time to take care of the germination and development of the personal computer industry because of the anti-monopoly investigation, but the Apple computer that came into being stood out, mixed with the wind and water, and was favored by Wall Street investors, and when it went public in 80 the year after tomorrow, the three founders Marcola, Jobs and Watts, directly entered the ranks of billionaires.

However, Apple's process will be interrupted by Li Yixuan, because their god machine Apple II will not be released until October, but Li Yixuan's personal computer will be available in mid-February at the latest, and the overall performance is stronger than that of Apple II. In March, he will hold the annual National Electronics Show in Silicon Valley, during which he will release Mr. Li's first computer. (The Apple II was actually released in '77, but it was delayed for a year for the sake of the plot.) )

This time he doesn't plan to release it under the name of DreamWorks, he is going to set up a new company, the name is all in mind, InternationalIntelligentCorporation, the abbreviation will be IIC, it is very easy to remember, because the double I is very similar to the Greek 2.

And put DreamWorks under IIC, he will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of IIC, the company is headquartered in Hong Kong, and a wholly-owned subsidiary is being established in the International Intelligent Electronics Company, which is at the same level as DreamWorks, specializing in the research and development of electronic products, and the production will be handed over to Terry Gou's Foxconn.

Determined the name of the company, then the following will be their own products also have a name, in order to facilitate a business registration to do all the current needs, this product development code name: lightning, this is just to indicate their own product development process, once again after the cost of consuming countless brain cells, established the product name: Anchi, Chi itself represents the meaning of swift, safe can be understood as safe, quiet meaning.

I looked at the time, it was still morning, and it was just night in Hong Kong, so I picked up the phone and called over and asked my mother to operate this matter.

At the same time, Liang Ning was called and asked to go to the industrial and commercial office to register the American branch of the newly established IIC International Intelligent Company, and after finishing, he called the last negotiation company and asked them to negotiate with MOS Company and obtain the authorization of the 6502 processor.

The negotiators came quickly, and Li Yixuan emphasized the right to upgrade and modify the structure of 6502. The two sides talked for a morning before they were fully determined on all of Li Yixuan's demands, and it took two days to finalize the negotiation plan. When the representative of the negotiating company left, he was told that the whole negotiation could take half a year.

Half a year is completely enough, and Li Yixuan is not very anxious about this thing.

After the people from the negotiation company left, Li Yixuan saw that the time was past 12 noon, went out and found a fast food restaurant to solve his stomach, and when he returned to the company, he was already sleepy, after all, he didn't sleep all night, so he fell asleep on his boss's chair.

When he woke up, he found that the time was already 6:30, and when he turned his head to see Guo Yifei, the other party told him that everyone was off work, and when he saw him asleep, no one woke him up and notified Guo Yifei, so Guo Yifei came over to wake him up.

Li Yixuan got up, did a few stretching exercises, moved his muscles, packed up his things and left with Guo Yifei.

When I was going to find a Chinese restaurant for dinner as casually as at noon, I was pulled by Guo Yifei, "The diet here is not healthy, you should eat less in the future, come with me, I know there is a good restaurant in the local area." ”

So Li Yixuan followed Guo Yifei again.

Sitting on the red Cadillac, Guo Yifei drove out, turned around, and stopped in front of a house.

This house is some years old, and when I looked up, there were several Chinese and English bilingual font signs written on it, Zhang's Chinese Restaurant.

It turned out to be a Chinese restaurant, or not, these days I eat all the Western food, and my mouth is about to fade out of the bird, just to relieve my cravings, but I don't know if the Chinese food made by this Chinese restaurant is authentic.

Li Yixuan followed and walked in, "Miss Guo, you're here." A man in his fifties shouted when he saw Guo Yifei.

didn't expect the two of them to know each other, it seems that Guo Yifei has not patronized his restaurant.

The man saw Li Yixuan beside Guo Yifei, and after years of experience, he saw at a glance that the two were a couple, so he said: "Go upstairs and open a single room?" ”

"Let's go upstairs." Guo Yifei didn't refuse, and took Li Yixuan up.

The boss personally took the menu and handed it to Li Yixuan, who handed the menu to Guo Yifei.

"Your surname is Huang, I don't know what this gentleman is called?"

"The surname is Huang, isn't it Zhang's restaurant?"

"That's my mother's last name." Boss Huang explained.

"My surname is Li." After speaking, Li Yixuan stopped talking.

Seeing that Li Yixuan didn't pay attention to him, he turned to Guo Yifei and asked, "What does Miss Guo want?" ”

Guo Yifei ordered a few dishes, and Boss Huang left.

Li Yixuan picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Guo Yifei, and poured another cup for himself.

"Boss Huang is a native of Northeast China, his father is a senior officer of the Kuomintang, he died during the anti-Japanese war, and went to Taiwan with his mother before liberation, and later came to the United States and opened this restaurant, which has been until now. The old lady was outdated three years ago, and Boss Huang inherited it, and before commemorating his mother, he changed the restaurant to Zhang's. ”

It turned out to be a martyr, Li Yixuan was in awe.

"Boss Huang has always wanted to return to China to see, especially the place where his father fought back then, and the place where he was born, and want to know if his friends back then are still there and how he lived."

At this time, Li Yixuan replied: "I should be able to go back soon." He knew that China was about to open up, and many overseas Chinese would go back and have a look. Li Yixuan also wanted to go over there and see what China was like at that time. The main thing is to look at the investment environment and see if you can build a factory there.

The factory Li Yixuan wants to build will definitely not be a small workshop built by small investors in Hong Kong, but a large factory, a semiconductor factory. In 1978, Coca-Cola was preparing to enter the Chinese market in the context of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and in 1979 China and the United States formally established diplomatic relations, and then sent 4,000 boxes of Coke from Hong Kong to major tourist attractions and places prone to foreigners, but it was not until 1983 that it was allowed to build its first factory in China.

Li Yixuan is not a very proud person, there is no great ideal of revitalizing China, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who runs for three meals a day, although his mother was an executive of a large enterprise before retirement, and his mother also wanted him to enter the company after graduation, but was finally rejected by Li Yixuan. He is the same as his father, he can't stand it, and he wants to be free.

Although it was hard to work outside, he was very happy and learned a lot of things that he couldn't learn in school.

Guo Yifei knew Li Yixuan's thoughts, the two of them have communicated a lot these days, she is not a reborn, and she doesn't know what the future of the country will be, so she gently grabbed his hand to show comfort.

The door opened, and Boss Huang personally pushed the dining cart in.

A large bowl of pork stewed with cabbage and vermicelli inside, typical of Northeast cuisine. The second course is stewed with small potatoes with pork ribs; The third course has everything in it, it is estimated that it is a famous stew in the Northeast, the fourth dish is sauce bones, and the fifth dish is pot wrapped meat; Fish-flavored shredded pork, eggplant in sauce, and finally winter melon pork rib soup.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Li Yixuan said, "Is it too much?" Can the two of us finish eating? ”

"I can't finish packing."

There is a personality, and everyone knows that it is packed. Li Yixuan said a word in his heart.

The boss also put on a bottle of wine, Li Yixuan picked it up and saw that it was actually SC's Lang wine, and he didn't find the factory date after looking for a long time.

Boss Huang explained: "This is old wine, and there is no factory date on it. ”

"It's too expensive, right, why don't you change it?"

Boss Huang waved his hand, "This is what Miss Guo specified, he knows that you are from Xichuan, and he will definitely like it." ”

The boss personally opened the wine, and as soon as the lid was opened, a smell of wine rushed out, filling the entire room in an instant.

"Good wine!" Li Yixuan couldn't help but praise.

Boss Huang poured a glass for each of them and left.

Li Yixuan picked up the wine glass and shook it, let him wake up, and then put it to his nose and smell it vigorously, the entire nasal cavity including the lungs is fragrant, drink a small sip, not spicy, not rinse the throat, full of wine, not a loss of Chinese famous wine.

After eating, the two left with the unfinished dishes.

Back at home, after Li Yixuan took a bath, he remembered something again and knocked on Guo Yifei's door.

"You say, if I want to buy industrial land in Hong Kong and build my own factory, how likely is it?"

Guo Yifei thought he wanted to enter her boudoir, but he didn't expect to ask this. She didn't know how to answer for a while, and thought for a while, "You really want to have your own factory?" ”

Li Yixuan nodded, "It's not rented, the land is your own." ”

Guo Yifei was silent, and after a long while, "In this way, I'll help you pay attention." ”

"Good night, good dreams." Li Yixuan went back to his room.
