The first stop of Zhang Lexing's search was the Kunlun Electronic Printing Equipment Company, and judging from the information provided by Wang Bin, Yan Yuanchao should have been arranged to work here after leaving the China Computer Development Corporation.

Kunlun Electronic Printing Equipment Company ......

was stopped by the doorman without suspense, Wang Bin immediately walked over and muttered a few words to the doorman, and took out a small notebook from his arms and showed it to the doorman, the doorman turned his head to look at Zhang Lexing, his face was full of complicated expressions. Soon the doorman returned to the duty room, picked up the phone and began to talk about something.

"It's okay, he went to get in touch, he should be here soon. Wang Bin explained.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a man in his thirties to walk over slowly, with some messy hair, a pair of wide-rimmed glasses, and some doubts on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Yan. Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand in a friendly manner.

"Oh......" Yan Yuanchao hesitated a little, hesitated for a moment but still held Zhang Lexing's hand, "Hello, are you looking for me?"

"Mr. Yan, I admire the Chinese operating system you have developed, and I am also very optimistic about your technical ability, and I hope to invite you to our company." Zhang Lexing said straight to the point.

"You...... What kind of company is it?" Yan Yuanchao looked a little unconvinced.

Zhang Lexing took out a business card and handed it over with both hands, "This is my business card, I am the founder of the most popular Kylin operating system on PCs now, and I am also one of the core members of the current Kylin code maintenance team." ”

Yan Yuanchao took the business card with a surprised face and took a closer look at the contents on it.

"I plan to set up a company in Beijing to be responsible for the Chinese version of the Kylin system, which requires technicians who are familiar with the operating system and the Chinese character system. I have seen the Chinese character operating system you designed and the Great Wall 0520CH that you participated in the design, I think you are fully qualified for such a job, I don't know if you would like to come to my company. Our company emphasizes technological innovation and freedom of play, and if you want to come, you can concentrate on the technical aspects and not be troubled by other aspects. After Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he looked at Yan Yuanchao expectantly.

Yan Yuanchao looked hesitant, as if he couldn't make up his mind, and thought for a while before replying: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I have only been in my current unit for a long time, and it is not convenient to leave for the time being." ”

Zhang Lexing was very disappointed, sighed and said, "It's a pity, Mr. Yan, if you change your mind, you can come to me at the Friendship Hotel, and our office will be set up there." ”

Disaster is not a single line, the next trip to the Microelectronics Technology Application Research Institute and the third chemical plant have hit the nail, Zhou Zhinong is still serving as the leader of the research group, Zhang Lexing can understand his refusal, but he didn't expect Wu Xiaojun to also refuse his invitation, he felt very confused.

On the way back, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but ask Wang Bin: "Why are they not willing to accept my invitation?

"Mr. Zhang, you may not know the personnel system in China, if the unit does not release people, ordinary people will not be able to leave, unless he gives up his seniority, benefits and so on, I think this may be one of the reasons. Wang Bin explained.

"Alas, it's a pity for these talents. Zhang Lexing sighed, "Wang Bin, where else do you say there are more talents?"

"Scientific research institutes have the most talents, but don't think about it, the state will not allow the brain drain in these places. Wang Bin dispelled Zhang Lexing's last illusion.

"In that case, Wang Bin, can you accompany me on a trip to other places?" Zhang Lexing had to make one last effort.

"Where?"

"Xushui County, Baoding City, I heard that there is a young man with good skills, I want to try it again. ”

"Okay, can you wait two days? I need to arrange that. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news at the hotel. ”

……

A lot has happened in the past two days, Lai Bingrong and Wu Guofa have returned to the United States, and Dr. Yu has flown to Hong Kong to arrange the chip factory. In order to prepare for the software design competition, VisualSystem sent a woman named Wan Lin, who showed that she had strong overall management skills and was very suitable to deal with the current preparatory matters, and of course, the VisualSystem China office was also temporarily managed by her. Chu Jing has been staying in the hotel these days, but now she has another identity, the Chinese representative of the Organizing Committee of the Software Design Competition, and continues to be responsible for the communication work.

Two days later, Zhang Lexing and Wang Bin embarked on the journey to Xushui County, and Wang Bin got two soft sleeper tickets. There was also a small episode after getting on the bus, as soon as we entered the soft sleeper room and sat down, we heard a commotion next to us.

Zhang Lexing stretched his head out of the private room and observed, it turned out that there were several people at the door of the No. 4 private room who were arguing fiercely. A female conductor was persuading the two elderly people to leave the private room, and a policeman-looking person next to her suddenly roared: "Don't be long-winded, you have to move, you have to move, you have to move if you don't move, anyway, you can't use these two bunks!" After speaking, he and another policeman started to throw the luggage of the two old men onto the aisle.

"Wang Bin, if our private room is still available, you go and talk to the conductor, let the two old men come over, and we can't let them be wronged anymore. ”

"Leave it to me. Wang Bin got up and walked out of the private room, turned around and said, "You just stay here and don't walk around, pay attention to safety." ”

Under Wang Bin's negotiation, the two elderly people moved to our private room. The train whistle sounded, and a group of people gathered around the middle-aged man who looked like a leader and got on the train, and several of them entered the No. 4 private room.

After talking with the two old men, I learned that one of them was the president of a certain university, and the other was a professor who studied space physics. After the thing was done, I thought I could sit on a soft sleeper more comfortably, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Soon Xu Shui arrived, and we waved goodbye to the two old men.

"Wang Bin, are all the current officials like this?" Zhang Lexing complained to Wang Bin as he walked.

"This should be an isolated phenomenon. Wang Bin looked a little embarrassed, "Maybe the people below don't know how to do things." ”

Xushui County Petroleum Department Geophysical Prospecting Bureau Instrument Factory......

"Master, may I ask if Uncle Qiu is there?" Zhang Lexing inquired to the old man of the doorman.

"Oh, you mean a little beg. The old man of the doorman tried to remember, and suddenly pointed to the factory door and said, "Isn't that the one who is walking out with a bag." ”

We looked in the direction pointed by the old guard, and a young man was walking out with his bags on his back.

"Are you asking for Bojun?" Zhang Lexing hurriedly asked.

"Yes, are you?" Qiu Bojun was a little puzzled.

"Have you ever used the Kylin operating system?"

"Used. ”

"I am the founder of the Kylin operating system and one of the core members of the current Kylin code maintenance team. Zhang Lexing took out his business card and handed it over.

Qiu Bojun looked at the business card carefully, and looked a little surprised.

"I heard that Mr. Qiu's technology is quite good, and he used to make library management system software when he was still in college, and I would like to invite Mr. Qiu to join our company. ”

"Can you let me think about it?" Qiu Bojun looked a little shocked, "I'm going to go out now to help my fellow deal with some problems, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

"Mind if we go together, we can talk on the way. ”

"Yes, but the conditions of living there are not very good. ”

"I'm fine, Wang Bin, what about you?"

"No problem. ”

"By car?" asked Bojun to ask Zhang Lexing's opinion.

"No!" a scene from many years ago flashed in front of Zhang Lexing's eyes again, and he felt a little weak, "Let's take the train." ”

Zhuozhou Petroleum Geophysical Prospecting Bureau......

As soon as Zhang Lexing and his entourage settled down in the guest house of the Geophysical Exploration Bureau, Qiu Bojun couldn't wait to find his fellow countrymen, but they didn't come back until early the next morning. Qiu Bojun looked very tired, hastily ate something and fell asleep on the bed.

Zhang Lexing had nothing to do but go to the county seat accompanied by Wang Bin, the population of the county in this era was very small, the road was relatively narrow, and the vehicles on the road were even more scarce. After walking around, I didn't find anything attractive except for a bunch of local snacks, so I had to return to the guest house.

When it was almost noon, Qiu Bojun finally woke up, and at the invitation of Zhang Lexing, the three of them found a relatively clean restaurant nearby to have lunch together.

"Qiu Bojun, what were you busy with yesterday and didn't come back all night?" Zhang Lexing asked while eating.

"Here's the thing...... "Qiu Bojun said slowly as he ate.

Yesterday, Qiu Bojun and his fellow villagers quickly devoted themselves to the problem after meeting, at first just with the idea of solving the problem, but in the process of analyzing the problem, Qiu Bojun thought that this kind of printing problem may exist in many places, so he came up with the idea of designing a general, support a variety of printers of the print driver. Since he can only use the only PC/XT machine in the science and technology department after work, Qiu Bojun can only hurry up and desperately speed up the development progress, so he can not come back to rest for a while until the morning when others are about to go to work, and he has to rush over to continue the development when the science and technology department gets off work in the afternoon.

After hastily eating lunch, in order to be in a hurry, he begged Bojun to brew on the paper first, and prepared to rush out as much code as possible. When encountering obstacles in development, Qiu Bojun communicated with Zhang Lexing, after all, no one is more familiar with his system than the original author.

Such days lasted for nine days, Qiu Bojun slept every morning, did homework on paper or exchanged programming with Zhang Lexing in the afternoon, and wrote code desperately after the computer in the science and technology department was free. In the end, nearly 50,000 lines of assembly code were finally completed, and the printer problems encountered by the fellows were solved, and the advanced printing driver was named "Xishan Super Text Printing System" by Qiu Bojun.

On the way back, Zhang Lexing once again sent an invitation to Qiu Bojun, and because he had gotten along well in the past few days, Qiu Bojun readily agreed. In order to strengthen Qiu Bojun's confidence, Zhang Lexing introduced to him some of his future plans, such as the cultivation of software talents, the development of general software, the training of domestic operating system developers, etc., and also described the glorious prospects of China's software industry in the future.

"When I go back, I will talk to the leaders of the unit and resign as soon as possible. Qiu Bojun was already a little overwhelmed with excitement.

"Okay, I'll just wait for you in Xushui, it's done, let's go to Beijing together first." Zhang Lexing is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he plans to follow closely.

Back in Xushui County, begging Bojun to go to the unit office to resign, Zhang Lexing and Wang Bin found a guest house to live and wait, originally thought that there would be two or three days, but I didn't expect that after only half a day, Qiu Bojun came to the guest house with his travel bag on his back.

"Is it going well?" asked Zhang Lexing.

Qiu Bojun put down his luggage, shook his head and said, "The unit doesn't do it at all." In fact, I usually don't play much role in the unit, and if I want to do something, I will always encounter the situation of seniority, but if I really want to leave, the unit will stop me. ”

Wang Bin explained to Zhang Lexing: "Now the units are like this, and they generally can't go without an order from the personnel department. ”

Zhang Lexing said helplessly: "I am not a state-owned unit, and it is impossible for the personnel department to issue an appointment order." ”

"So I don't care, what kind of account, file, whatever. Whatever he cares, come out first. Qiu Bojun looked a little excited.

"Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?" Zhang Lexing asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but the last time I went to Shenzhen, I learned what 'time is money, efficiency is life', and computers are very widely used there, so I think it should be very promising in that environment." Qiu Bojun thought about it and said.

"In this case, let's go to Beijing first, go to Zhongguancun for a walk, maybe you can find your goal. If you want to succeed, it's easier to have goals. ”

With Wang Bin's help, Zhang Lexing and the three of them boarded the train the next day and set off for Beijing.
