Tang Huan really valued Simeone as a technical general, and he even drove him from his office in Cupertino back to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in Palo Alto in order to express his thirst for talent.

Standing on the side of the road and looking at the PARC's office, Tang Huan wondered in his heart, and he didn't know how Jobs had contacted Xerox after listening to his advice on the computer graphical user interface, and when he would be able to visit.

But this matter is not in a hurry, Tang Huan shook his head slightly, pressed this thought, and drove to Deng Lijun's residence, he hadn't cooked for a long time, and he had to prepare dinner himself.

When the meal was almost ready, Deng Lijun came back, followed by a small tail, Celine Dion.

"It smells so good." As soon as Deng Lijun finished praising with a smile, she complained "What a big smell of oil smoke", covered her mouth and walked quickly into the bathroom, and then there was a sound of retching.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan was thoughtful, and slowly walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's kind of disgusting." Deng Lijun waved her hand, signaling that she was fine.

"You shouldn't be pregnant, right?"

Hearing Tang Huan's temptation, Deng Lijun was startled, and muttered angrily, "Is there anything in this world that you don't understand?" ”

Tang Huan smiled, "That's true." Think about it, too, how can I have such a strong firepower, how can I just sow seeds without results. ”

"It's just about your own happiness, it's probably been more than two months, and even my mother doesn't dare to tell me." Deng Lijun punched Tang Huan angrily.

Grabbing Deng Lijun's little hand, Tang Huan, who was full of joy, said affectionately: "Since we already have the crystallization of love, then just forget about the red tape and pick a good day to register." ”

While talking, Tang Huan also hummed, "Hug wow, hug, hug that Li Jun on the sedan chair......"

"I'll think about it." Deng Lijun was so amused that she smiled, but then her smile faded, bypassed Tang Huan, and walked to the table and sat down.

"What's there to hesitate about." Tang Huan was a little inexplicable, but then he thought about it, proposing marriage is a sacred thing, and it is inevitable for the woman to be reserved, and she has not even prepared a token such as a diamond ring.

Sitting down opposite Deng Lijun and glancing at Celine who was staring at the dishes on the table with a greedy face, Tang Huan smiled and said, "Don't look at it, hurry up and taste the craftsmanship of this chef." ”

Saying that, Tang Huan also helped Xiao Lori, who couldn't use chopsticks, pick up the vegetables, "What about your brother?" ”

"He's going to see an open-air concert in the evening." Celine, whose mouth was stuffed with food, replied vaguely.

Tang Huan nodded, and shifted his attention to Deng Lijun again.

Deng Lijun has delicate feelings, and now that she is pregnant, she has to be more careful.

At this time, my aunt Tang Yun called to remind me that Zhuang Menghua's flight would arrive in San Francisco the day after tomorrow, and she should not forget to pick up the plane when the time came.

Zhuang Menghua is the granddaughter of Tang Huan's grandfather's friend Zhuang Yinuo, who was entrusted to go to the mainland to find Tang Huan, take him to Xiangjiang, and finally send it to the United States.

This year, Zhuang Menghua got an admission letter from Harvard University, so he came to the United States in advance to adapt to it.

Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, he had a headache, when he was in Xiangjiang, he didn't deal with Zhuang Menghua, a little pepper, and maybe when they met the day after tomorrow, they would be squeezed again.

Celine's little Lori is quite pestering, after the meal, she imitated what she had seen and heard in the past few days, and sang two songs for Tang Huan to give some advice, although the performance was a little immature, but it did show the talent of the future superstar.

Deng Lijun was a little sleepy, and yawned a few times in a row, Tang Huan saw this and quickly persuaded her to go back to the bedroom to rest, while he continued to stay in the living room to guide Celine, brainwash by the way, and get a preventive shot, lest the agent who is 26 years old pick up a ready-made cheap in the future.

Perhaps because of the generous help she received, and in addition to her brother here in San Francisco, Tang Huan is the most trusted person who can communicate and communicate, Celine is very close to Tang Huan, and there is no common rebellious psychology of teenagers, and Tang Huan's opinions can be listened to carefully.

Seeing that the time was not early, Tang Huan summed it up, "Your foundation is French songs, accumulate it well, and strive to find a suitable agent in Canada next year to help you enter the music scene, now go and rest." ”

Don't look at Celine's young age, she is very eager to become famous, and after getting Tang Huan's promise, she excitedly kissed Tang Huan on the cheek and went to the guest room with a jump.

Tang Huan entered the bedroom and saw that Deng Lijun was already lying on the bed and falling asleep, so he changed his clothes and lay down next to him gently, but he didn't think that even if he was so careful, the other party still woke up.

"I'm sorry to be arguing with you." Tang Huan stretched out his hand and stroked her soft hair.

Deng Lijun hummed softly and slowly climbed onto Tang Huan's body.

"Forget it, I didn't know you were pregnant before, how can I not know the severity now." Tang Huan thoughtfully stopped.

"And can you sleep soundly?" Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan.

"I said that you have been saying that you have been gentle lately, and you still ask for it, so that's why." Tang Huan smiled and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Deng Lijun bit Tang Huan's chest in shame, and the pleasure of the boudoir could not be better than this.

After a while, Deng Lijun was panting and sweating on her forehead.

"I'll do the work." Tang Huan said with a grin.

The two tacitly exchanged positions, Deng Lijun leaned over and climbed to the edge of the bed, Tang Huan stood on the ground and was about to swing in from behind, when he suddenly felt that there was someone at the door, and subconsciously looked over, just in front of a pair of bright eyes.

It turned out to be Celine, the little Lori, who was peeping, Tang Huan glared at this little girl who didn't know the importance of the film, and secretly said that foreign children are really open, so he came to the side of the bed and stepped forward.

"Lighter ......," Deng Lijun snorted softly.

……

The next day, Tang Huan came to the office early, ready to welcome Gates' visit, and this uninvited guest also surprised Tang Huan, he actually brought his entrepreneurial partner Paul Allen.

Don't say anything, let's take a group photo first and leave an archaeological archive.

Although Gates and Allen were a little uncomfortable with this way of welcome, they still stood beside Tang Huan very cooperatively, one left and one right, with a smile on their faces, and they looked like they were close friends.

The last time I followed Jobs, Gates only saw a project team, CGrid and supporting printers, and there were not many employees, but after just over two months, the scale of Zerone has expanded several times, and the project team has become four, which can't help but make him envious and jealous.

In order to prevent the theft of the teacher, Tang Huan asked the engineers to pay attention not to divulge the key technical details, but did not limit the technical exchange on the surface, because the technical barriers are only temporary and relative, the two in front of them are geniuses in the industry, let them realize how high the technical threshold is is the most fundamental solution, too obvious to cover up but look petty, not conducive to the great cause of being friends with local tyrants.

Gates was puzzled by the fact that CGrid and WordEasy were significantly more powerful on the Mac than on the CP/M platform, so he asked questions.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "This is because the expansion card I designed is installed on the Mac, so it can support more functions." ”

Of course, this is also Apple's request and its own interests, but there is no need to say this reason.

When they came to the MA project team area, Gates and Allen both stopped and watched with solemn expressions.

Only then did they discover that Microsoft wanted to get a piece of the spreadsheet software market and be prepared to meet Zerone's counterattack. At present, MA is already a mature and stable macro assembly language development tool, in case Tang Huan takes a fancy to the BASIC field, it will not be one more hungry wolf to grab food.

At this time, Tang Huan opened his mouth slowly, "There are still a lot of blank areas in the application of microcomputers, which is enough for Microsoft and Zerone to gallop forward. But it is precisely because of this that it is destined to attract fierce predators like IBM and HP, and we will have to cooperate sincerely to support each other in the future. ”

Allen, who didn't say a word, didn't bother to pay attention to Tang Huan's superficial article, he was assessing what kind of threat MA posed to the BASIC he had built, and if he rewrote BASIC with MA, the assembly language closest to the hardware, would he get better execution efficiency, after all, this problem has always been the shortcoming of BASIC.

Gates smiled, a look of deep approval, but his heart was secretly dripping blood, Zerone's products are already very good and very mature, which can raise the entry threshold for latecomers like themselves, even if the software on the Apple platform is developed, it can't achieve the same function, it seems that Jobs has to find an excuse to delay.

But when he arrived at the fourth development area, Gates suddenly felt a shock in his heart. The engineers here are obviously much stricter than the people in the previous office area, and they can't see the eyebrows of the database product at all. This is not surprising, after all, it is still under development, he doesn't care. But Zerone has worked on so many projects at once, and must have invested huge resources, and the company's management will become correspondingly complicated, maybe Tang Huan, like all careerists, will fall into extremely inflated self-confidence.

Tang Huan naturally didn't know what kind of thoughts Gates was thinking in his heart, he just felt a little emotional after seeing Alan and Gates appear together.

Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle, the rival they are about to meet in the database market, these IT giants who went to the end in their previous lives, have so many similarities in the early days of entrepreneurship, they are all an elite genius with a technical genius, Gates has Allen, Jobs has Watts, Larry Ellison has Bob Mainer, and Allen and Watts are even more amazingly sympathetic, both when the company began to take off, one suffered from Hodgkin's disease, the other encountered a breakdown in a private jet, and both left the startup after the catastrophe, living the second half of his life as a billionaire by the aftermath of stocks.

After making a preliminary assessment of the resources needed for the development of database products, Gates asked with concern, "Don, what type of database is this?" ”

"The relational database developed based on the relational model proposed by IBM, this technology is definitely the future development direction of the industry." Tang Huan didn't hide it either, and answered truthfully.

Gates admired and admired again and again, and a thought flashed in his heart, the more advanced the better, and use up your resources, so that my Microsoft can have hope of catching up.

According to the original arrangement, after the visit, Tang Huan was going to entertain Gates and Allen at a high-end restaurant, but the two men insisted on saying goodbye, saying that the return ticket had already been booked, and the flight time was too tight.

Looking at the enthusiastic Tang Huan's regretful face, Gates, who regarded him as an opponent, couldn't bear it, "Forget it this time, when you come to Seattle, we'll have dinner together." ”

"Then it's decided, I'll visit you then." Tang Huan readily agreed.

Gates rolled his eyes in his heart, this guy can really climb up the pole, and he found an excuse to return so easily.

"I've been looking forward to a PC pioneer like Microsoft for a long time, and I'm sure Microsoft will grow into a company like Boeing." Tang Huan continued to babble and pour the fascinated soup.

Gates, who smiled and waved goodbye, got into the car and snorted in his heart, such an arrogant and confident person, it is already very rare to have a Boeing company in Seattle, and he does not dare to expect Microsoft to develop to such heights.

Gates, who re-tightened his face, started the car, but he was unconsciously thinking in his heart, but why did Tang Huan's words taste it carefully, making him yearn for it very much.
