Chapter VIII Commodore, Inc
"Mr. Du, it's a pity to let you run in vain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The next day, when Liu Si sent Du Jiabin to the bus station, he said a little apologetically.
Du Jiabin also showed regret, "You should probably agree to Microsoft's conditions, $10 million is not a lot." ”
"Perhaps!"
After sending Du Jiabin away, Liu Si thought about how to find the starting funds next.
Maybe he thinks the world is too simple, and he doesn't get start-up funding from Microsoft, and he's still disappointed.
In the end, Liu Si was also ruthless, since he couldn't talk to Microsoft, then he would make his own operating system! Of course, it is definitely not possible to do it yourself, and you still have to ask for help through Goldfinger.
It has been nearly 20 years since the initial MicrosoftMemphis in 1996 to Windows98 in 2015, and although it has withdrawn from the market since Windows98 in 2004, it is precisely because of this that its code has also been revealed, and even some capable IT technology enthusiast groups can write an identical Windows98 completely, and they have a complete grasp of the core code.
However, when the task was released, Liu Si gave several conditions, one of which was that the logo of Microsoft must be removed and replaced with the logo of Palm Fun; Second, the original core code had to be further limited and a small part of the core code had to be changed.
He used the remaining 150,000 yuan as a bounty for this task, because he was not a professional IT technician, he did not know the degree of difficulty, and did not know whether the 150,000 yuan bounty was enough.
After posting the task, he didn't think too much, and then Liu Si had to complete his homework seriously and prepare for the registration in 3 days.
He didn't have much desire to study, and perhaps regretted that he didn't have a relationship in junior high school in his previous life. And in junior high school, his best friend was Li Zhihao, and Liu Si often called him proud. After graduating from college, the two who have no money rarely interact, only greet each other through QQ from time to time, "How are you doing?" ”
I remember that many years later, there were two female goddesses among the alumni, and Liu Si was very interested, but at present, he was only interested, and there was still no news of his rising funds. Now he is most interested in money, and his mind is full of money, so much so that he has not listened carefully to the lecture once in class. Except for the fact that the English of the previous life was really bad and was made very faceless, the other subjects coped with the monthly exams and the teacher's questions through the foundation of the previous life.
The achievements of this life are still the same as in the previous life, and time passes in such ordinary days.
The battery of the domestic machine is still very strong, and fortunately, in the state of turning off the battery and taking out the battery, the battery of the gold finger still has two grids of electricity after more than a month.
This is the 10th time Liu Si has turned on the computer since a month, and every time he turns on the computer in the corner of the unoccupied school, he always gets disappointment, this time he temporarily kowtows and bows to the wall in the corner, and is extremely sincere.
Skillfully opened the mailbox, Liu Si, who didn't have any hope, saw the folder in the mailbox, it was an excitement! Looking at the time again, it seems to be an email sent the day before yesterday, and it seems to be the last time I did a task for myself, "not tall, not handsome, not rich and handsome".
transferred 150,000 yuan to the designated account, and after a while, he received the core code from "not tall, not handsome, not rich and handsome", and the transaction finally came to an end.
The instructions of the complete operating system are huge, and you have to type out the complete system on the computer by yourself, and you can't do it in 5 months, so this time Liu Si released the task of instructing word and program.
However, the trouble is how to export this program from the phone, which is a headache. Not to mention that the data line of the smart phone in the hand is a difficult point, the most important USB PC interface technology was only put forward in 1994, in fact, whether it is a mobile phone or a computer, there is no USB port in 1995.
However, there are still pioneers, and one of the reasons why USB technology has not been promoted is that the USB data transmission speed at this time is very small, which cannot meet the needs at all.
In 95, China's computer market basically relied on assembly, and Lenovo, the future leader, was just an assembler. The prescient Liu Si successfully mixed up the position of a salesman in the Shizhu computer store, and because his age did not match his style very well, he was very mature, which made the owner of the computer store like him very much.
The owner of the computer store has a host with a USB interface, which is one of the few hosts with a USB interface produced by some host manufacturers after the USB BIF (USB ImplementForum) jointly proposed by seven companies including Intel, IBM, PAQ, Microsoft, NEC, Digital, and Northtele in 1995.
The boss often tells customers or employees that he got it back from Beijing through his connections, which is one of the most advanced host devices in the world, highlighting his ability and the strength of the store. The two college students in the store, who had graduated less than a year ago, scoffed at this, and the USB port was completely useless.
Liu Si saw that there was a host with a USB interface here, and immediately decided to stay here with a dead skin and a lazy face. Although the luck is good enough to explode the USB interface host has landed, but the USB data cable is not so good luck.
For this reason, he had to collect materials and do it himself, fortunately this is a computer store, of course, at this time it is impossible to only sell computers, such as radios, CDs and other electronic products, there are all here, otherwise it is not a loss to only sell computers.
It was impossible to match the materials completely, only the suitable ones, and finally had to be transformed, and it took two weeks for him to finally make a data cable with exposed copper wires and two potholes and ugly data.
The boss has determined Liu Si's identity for so long, and the third cousin is the key to it. This boss is the second generation in the county, as the third cousin in the system, although he is only a small clerk, the third cousin and the computer store owner do know each other, and Liu Si is also certified.
One day, several old customers in the store sold products in the store, in addition to the problem, everyone went to the door-to-door service, Liu Si was left to guard the store, this time Liu Si, who seized the opportunity, finally completed the export of the operating system in the smart phone.
I'm glad to be able to connect to the computer, the USB homemade data cable without a central control chip has a slow transmission speed, about 1. 5Mbps/s, it took half an hour to export the operating system on the smartphone to the computer, and quickly burned it on a pre-prepared floppy disk.
Modo was a personal computer company of the same era as Apple, and it had created a series of miracles. Of course, the expansion of the depth and breadth of Modore's final internal products made it a group company with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, but due to poor management, it announced that its computer business was discontinued in 1994, and in 1995, it sold this part of the computer business to the German company ESAG.
Liu Si is going to send the Palmfun operating system to the public mailbox of modore company by email this time. Modore is a company that also has a soft armor service department, of which the multimedia computer system Amiga is a masterpiece. But now the whole modore company is not having a good time, but this company with a history of several decades has a lot of channels and fame, which is very useful for the release of the Palm Fun operating system.
It is impossible for a computer store not to have an Internet connection, but the expensive Internet fee makes the boss learn that Grande will not be connected to the Internet unless he comes to customers. But the witty Liu Si still didn't get the password from the boss easily, and finally used it at this time.
