Chapter 41: Microsoft's Early Morning

Copying a book by hand and then letting the industry's top book company operate and publish it, Alice's "Jurassic Park" can be said to have no cost at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info faced the computer, with her terrifying memory and abundant physical strength, at a speed of tens of thousands of words per hour, transcribing other people's works, such a casual thing, of course, she will not pay too much attention to it.

It's just that Sissi was really suppressed by her, although everyone doesn't know when Alice started writing this book, but there is no doubt about the achievements in front of her. A casual provocation of his own made his friend throw out a long book at a flying speed, and it was impossible for any girl to be calm about it.

In particular, Alice had already shown the manuscript to Sissi, and of course, the whole family had carefully read "Jurassic Park", which was supposed to be compiled by the famous author, famous screenwriter, and famous director, Michael Clayton. Although the deity was of course alive at this time, and should have been written in a few years, as long as Alice's publication date was slightly earlier than the beginning of the conception phase of the deity, it would not matter.

In this way, the remaining days of the whole month of May have passed quickly, and the hot month of June has arrived. In the course of about fifteen days, Bantam Books has indeed taken action and started to carry out the initial publicity activities for "Jurassic Park", that is, widely distribute all kinds of survey brochures, questionnaires, leaflets, etc.

At the same time, Cisco, which is registered in the living room of a private house in the San Francisco area, has also developed a little. After nearly a month of hard work, Santi was frustrated to find that she had spent so much time and thousands of dollars that she still couldn't optimize Alice's router blueprint.

This is certainly a matter of course, and after Alice spoke to Posack several times, she came to this conclusion with a silent smile.

After all, although the router I handed over compared with later products, it is definitely a strict defective product with low efficiency and few functions, but it is only dependent on the contemporary network construction requirements and hardware level. From a purely design perspective, it really minimizes costs.

To put it bluntly, Alice is designing old-time products at the level of the 21st century. For example, when the existence of the automobile was just born at the end of the 19th century, she moved out the assembly line operation method of Ford Motors, although the shape and performance of the car are still subject to the times, but the production efficiency can really not be improved.

There's really not much for Alice to do at the moment. There are Mr. and Mrs. Bosak who are busy, and when they really invent the finished router, sell it to a few users, and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in orders, it will be at least next year.

In the field of books, it is still only the most preliminary market research period, and the five members of the Wang family even filled out five questionnaires by themselves. Whether it's the release of the new book, or Alice's heart, Spielbert makes it into a movie, it's still early.

So, on this hot June day, she first focused her attention on a certain celebrity.

Bill gates.

As early as a very young age, after realizing that her brain was extremely developed, extremely intelligent, and especially her mental power could be used as a superpower, Alice did not plan to be just an ordinary person. It's a pity that even before last year, she was only in the fifth grade of primary school, so it was impossible for her to do anything.

But now, by chance, just after making a router on the ticket, I met Mr. and Mrs. Posack, and it was only natural to establish Cisco. Well, although she is still young, Alice really doesn't plan to be honest anymore.

Wednesday, June 20th.

Albuquerque City, New Mexico.

The midday sun is pouring down the traffic-filled downtown area, and Albuquerque, New Mexico's largest city, is home to nearly half a million residents, not only to Cortland Air Force Base, but also to the University of New Mexico, Sandia National Laboratories and the Petrified Forest National Historic Museum. It is not only a scientific research base for nuclear energy, new energy, aerospace and computing engineering in the United States after World War II, but also one of the cities with the fastest population growth rate in the country.

That's one of the reasons why Bill Gates registered Microsoft here.

Microsoft was founded only nine years ago, but it's become a big player in Albuquerque, and in fact, as a new computer company, it's been in the limelight lately.

At last year's Computex Expo in Las Vegas, Microsoft's young CEO, Bill Gates, spent a lot of effort trying to promote a new product of the company. Not only did he make all the taxi lights in Vegas City display the words Microsoft-Windows 1.0, but even the pillows of various hotels in the city were printed with these things, and the publicity was really extraordinary!

So, what the hell is this win, what dos, what the hell?

Windows OS, and unlike Apple's Lisa's damn closed-source, CEO Gates has long stated that the operating system will open the door to third parties, allowing other companies to design all kinds of software on the platform. In short, according to his propaganda, it is a new type of operating system that is currently being used by Apple.

It's a pity that this company, which has only been established for nine years and has an annual net profit of 10 million, has been jumping for a long time. When it was advertised last year, Gates kept saying that Microsoft would release the system in the spring of '84, but now it's mid-June, and they haven't even been able to release a fart.

Of course, no one is in a hurry, and users and third-party companies don't really care when Microsoft's new product will be released, and its competitors even prefer it not to be released. As for the media, of course, there is a topic to talk about whether it can be published or not, whether it is satirical or hyped, it is nothing more than the same editor writing two different articles, and no one is in a hurry.

Except for Microsoft itself.

"It hasn't been done yet, it hasn't been done yet, this algorithm is not qualified, and that algorithm is definitely not qualified......"

The hot computer room was filled with the sound of fans roaring, and ordinary people would sweat and get dizzy as long as they stayed here for a while. But in such an environment, a baby-faced man with blond hair was sitting in a corner, holding a small notebook in his hand, muttering non-stop.

"Mr. Gates?

A woman in her forties walked to the entrance of the central computer room, and Lu Bao, as a mother of four, was obviously more kind to her motherhood than the other secretaries.

"Mr. Allen said that he has an urgent matter to find you, and he wants to convene a general meeting of the company immediately!"

The man is none other than Bill Gates, and his baby face makes him look extra young compared to any of his peers.

Lu Bao still remembers what kind of joke she made when she first joined Microsoft.

That was a few years ago, when she first joined Microsoft as a secretary and was told that the company's central computer room was a top-secret area, and no one could approach it.

Of course, Lubao remembered this request.

But one day, she saw a young man walk into the company, and a young man she had never seen before swaggered into the central computer room. According to the regulations, of course, she immediately reported to her superiors, and the answer was: "That's our chairman." ”

"Chairman, God, how old is he?"

"21 years old. ”

This is the answer that Lu Bao gets, and as for the extraordinarily young baby face, later, when people from many other companies call and ask how to recognize Gates at the airport, Lu Bao will say, "It's very easy, as long as you see a big boy who seems to be only 16 years old, with blond hair, glasses, and a very different temperament, that's our CEO!"

At the same time, because she is already a mother of four children, for Gates, Lu Bao really has a feeling of taking care of her son. She is even more aware that Gates often hangs out in the computer room with the company's other founder, Paul Allen, and is busy all the time.

"Mr. Gates?"

So at this moment, after seeing Gates "again" in a "daze" in the computer room, she shouted patiently without surprise: "Mr. Allen wants you to hurry up to the meeting!"

It wasn't until she shouted this sentence three more times that Gates finally raised his head: "Lubao, if it's just the same content, let me stay here." ”

Lu Bao sighed: "Bill, I don't know what's going on, but Mr. Allen is obviously in a hurry, dozens of people in the company have already gathered, and it's up to you." ”

After a few more seconds, Gates got up from the concrete floor, patted his ass and said, "What's the trouble with that damn babyface? Don't you know I'm working on a damn algorithm?

Grumbling, Gates strode out of the computer room and deftly found the door to the conference room.

"Oh shit, Bill, you're here!"

The person who spoke had a big head of light, and it was none other than Steve Ballmer, the senior that Gates met at Harvard and the current executive vice president of sales support at Microsoft.

As his voice fell, Gates noticed that the whole room was occupied by the entire company. Fifty-five engineers stood in a pile, and among them, Paul Allen, Gates's good buddy and another founder of Microsoft, wore round glasses, with a serious face.

"What's wrong Alan, this serious expression is not for you. ”

Paul had no interest in teasing, and opened his mouth to speak.

"Bill, someone has developed Windows before we do. ”
