Christina, as she picked out the jewelry she was going to wear, asked earnestly, "Don doesn't like the gift I chose for him?" ”

"Of course it can't be, it's tens of millions of dollars in private jets, and no one in this world can refuse this sincerity."

Fanning, who was standing on the side, replied affirmatively, "But the Orientals have always liked to keep a low profile, and they call this practice a muffled way to make a fortune. After a long time, Don will get used to your style, Miss. ”

"Don won't covet anything from me, and even if he needs it, he will exchange it for the same price, such as that loan." Christina shook her head, "I'll be patient this time, though." By the way, why is there so much less opposition in the family all of a sudden? ”

"They learned about Tang's situation, and found that the company was established less than a year ago, and its sales exceeded 90 million US dollars, becoming the first in the field. Fanning hesitated, but chose to tell the truth.

Christina snorted dissatisfiedly, "Do they think I made the right choice this time, but unfortunately, their starting point is profit." ”

"Miss is satisfied with herself, don't pay attention to them." Fanning saw that his master was a little unhappy, and hurriedly comforted him.

"I can't tell you the magic of Don, and those guys who only have money in their eyes won't understand." Christina sighed with interest.

"No matter what, I'm just Miss Miss." The housekeeper confessed loyally.

The master and servant were talking about Tang Huan, and the servant came to report that the guest had arrived.

Christina was overjoyed and quickly got up to greet her.

Since he was soaked by the rich sister, Tang Huan couldn't help but deliberately dress up before he came, to put it bluntly, he was also not exempt from vulgarity, and he was very proud of his man's charm.

Although he didn't intend to take advantage of Christina at all, this process of being pursued was too face-saving, and even Tang Huan couldn't refuse this sense of achievement.

Human values are wonderful, and they are all beautiful women, but if you add the aura of talent, or wealth, origin, etc., then their status is very different.

Christina, a beautiful woman with a huge fortune, naturally brings a great desire for conquest to men.

However, Tang Huan was complacent, but he did not forget his principles, and his brother would not be inferior.

After taking her seat, Christina took out a stack of photos as if she were a treasure, "This is what that plane looks like, I have asked a professional to modify it, you can see if there are any suggestions." ”

Tang Huan was not pretentious, he looked at it seriously and nodded, "I have to say, I like your gift very much." But I received it with my heart, and I will return the fee to you, I don't have the habit of using women's money. ”

Christina didn't answer this conversation, and sent out an invitation with a smile, "In January next year, my fleet will dock in Florida for a while, why don't we go and visit, the scene is spectacular, and men should like that majestic atmosphere." ”

"Florida?" Tang Huan asked in surprise, "This is too coincidental, I only moved the idea of going to this place not long ago." ”

"It's even better to think of it together." Christina hugged Tang Huan excitedly and kissed him.

This foreign girl is getting hotter and hotter, Tang Huan remembered that when the two first met, Christina looked like a queen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Waiting for the other party's emotions to calm down, Tang Huan spoke: "Since this is the case, then I will directly ask you to help and prepare a set of state-of-the-art diving equipment for me, if you can find some people who are proficient in diving or salvage experience, it will be better." ”

Christina blinked and asked curiously, "Honey, aren't you going on a treasure hunt?" ”

"Isn't this game fun?" Tang Huan smiled, he really planned it this way, who let the treasure hunter in his previous life succeed, and described the whole experience so clearly in the media, since he remembered it, there is no reason to miss it.

"Honey, you've always been so creative. It's a good idea, and I raise my hands in agreement. Christina's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"When the time comes, there may be a surprise." After Tang Huan finished speaking meaningfully, he got up and walked towards the restaurant. Christina's elaborate dinner was already set, and he naturally did not miss the royal enjoyment.

……

The Palo Alto Research Center, or PARC, is an important research institute established by Xerox in 1970 and is located in Palo Alto, a Silicon Valley area.

Tang Huan sat in the car, secretly thinking about what points he should pay attention to when visiting.

Many modern computer technologies were born out of PARC, and its creative developments include: the personal computer XeroxAlto, laser printers, mice, Ethernet, graphical user interfaces, Smalltalk, the page description language Interpress or the pioneer of PostScript, icons, drop-down menus, WYSIWYG text editors, speech compression, ...... And so on, and so on.

These developments did not bring too much dazzling benefits to Xerox, but became evidence that people later regretted or ridiculed.

However, in Tang Huan's view, Xerox who makes wedding dresses for others may not be really so stupid, and he can only complain that the technology and products engaged in by the geniuses in the laboratory are too advanced, too much ahead of the times, and it will take a long time to digest them.

Add to that the fact that these scientists with full personalities lack the ability to execute and turn amazing ideas into low-cost and practical products, and that others do not pick peaches, which is called strange.

There is no doubt that the PARC staff did not welcome Tang Huan and Jobs, who were uninvited guests, otherwise they would not have been delayed until now.

Entering a conference room, Tang Huan met two people in charge, a man and a woman, who were ordered to perform. Essler and Adele? Goldberg. The former had a proud and excited smile on his face, while the latter, on the contrary, had a tense face and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Tang Huan glanced at Tesler, this person is an expert in graphical user interfaces, and he will switch to Apple next year, so he should not set up obstacles to the display, and Goldberg is not easy to say.

On the display stand were several computers, the Xerox Alto, or "Otto", which PARC had developed in 1973, and they were true personal computers, with monitors, keyboards, and even a three-button mouse.

Tang Huan soon discovered that these people did do something to the display, and only showed them a very limited number of applications, the most important of which was a word processing program.

In the DOS environment, it does not mean that there is no ability to make a graphical interface program, and the development environment of the famous TurboC2.0 in the previous life is a good example.

Zheru's CGrid and WordEasy have already achieved such an effect, and if they support the mouse, they are much stronger than the current PARC word processing program.

However, Tang Huan still watched patiently, carefully finding out what to learn from, and from time to time whispered a few words to Simone, who had worked here.

Jobs finally got impatient, and he unceremoniously shouted, "Stop talking about this bullshit!" You're too sitty to know that our spreadsheets and word processors are better than yours? ”

Jobs's sudden outburst startled several people at PARC, and they got together to discuss it in a low voice, so Tesler showed the programming language Smalltalk.

Not to mention, there are some important things involved, such as how object-oriented programming works and how computers can be networked with each other.

Tang Huan couldn't help but admire in his heart, no wonder Smalltalk is recognized as the second object-oriented programming language in history, and the first true integrated development environment IDE.

In the past life, C++, C#, Objective-C, Actor, Java, Ruby and other programming languages were born thanks to Smalltalk, and even software development ideas such as design patterns, agile programming, and code refactoring in the 1990s also borrowed a lot from Smalltalk.

Previously, Tang Huan had sorted out PARC's technical articles and sent them to Zheru and Apple's engineers, so many people realized the extraordinaryness of Smalltalk, and asked questions one after another, making the scene very lively.

Jobs naturally didn't understand these technical topics, he only knew that after tossing for a long time, he hadn't seen what he wanted.

"Does PARC have that so-called graphical user interface?" Jobs walked over and asked in a low voice of confusion.

"Definitely." Tang Huan nodded firmly, "However, these people are deliberately hiding and refusing to show it. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan sighed unwillingly, "It seems that this time I have to run for nothing, and I don't know if there is a chance to visit for the second time." ”

Tang Huan's disguised agitation really hooked Jobs's small flame.

Jobs was furious, and he angrily gave an ultimatum, "Since you have always dealt with us, then I can only go to Xerox headquarters in Connecticut." ”

After speaking, Jobs grabbed the phone and dialed it, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.

Tang Huan secretly praised that at the critical moment, it was still Jobs who gave power.

In fact, the collection of hundreds of elite memories in Tang Huan's mind is far richer than the technology of PARC in front of him, but Tang Huan is still very keen to visit, first of all, to satisfy the curiosity of the hunt, and secondly, through the personal understanding of PARC, to further determine how far the highest level of current computer technology has reached, and finally it is natural to dig the corner of PARC, and the talents here can be called all treasures.

As for the graphical user interface, Tang Huan thinks that it is better to let Jobs toss it in one step first, and the MAC was not introduced to the market until 1984, which shows the degree of difficulty, with these times, he can do more important things, and he can't be paranoid for a graphical user interface.

Jobs finally succeeded, and Xerox headquarters issued another notice of the display.

See is this result, one of the leaders of the show, Adele? Goldberg left angrily.

Another person in charge, Larry? Undeterred, Tesler continued to demonstrate in person, finally unveiling the PARC graphical user interface.

Bitmap display, icons, pop-up menus, overlapping windows, scrollbars, mouse click action......

Seeing the basic elements of these graphical user interfaces, and the results shown, except for Tang Huan, all the people who came to visit were stunned.

Atkinson stared at the screen, carefully examining every pixel.

Jobs waved his arms excitedly, jumped around, exclaimed, asked questions, and even repeated, "You're sitting in a gold mine, I can't believe Xerox didn't make good use of this technology." ”

Hearing Jobs' comment, Tang Huan shook his head secretly, and when it took you four years to get a MAC computer, you will know how difficult it is to implement a graphical user interface.

Looking at the sparkle in Jobs's eyes, Tang Huan remembered that this guy once quoted Picasso's famous quote "Great artists steal inspiration" to characterize this technology plagiarism operation.

Well, the mall is like a battlefield, everything is for the final victory, there is no need to dwell on whether the means are above board or not.

Dealing with IBM's chess plan is my own business, and I can't sympathize with the loser here.
