& The dinner together was very pleasant, Tang Huan still has a lingering aftertaste, it seems that the more the ** lurking in his heart is satisfied, the greater the role of those inherited wisdom, which makes him more motivated to work, and the corresponding results can be called remarkable.

Thanks to the positive recommendation of Apple's sales staff, CGRID won the hearts of users almost immediately, and has sold hundreds of official copies so far, which means that Tang Huan was able to get at least tens of thousands of dollars in sales in the first week alone.

By 1980, more than 25,000 Mactoxins had been used to run this program, and it also greatly promoted the sales of Apple's second-generation computers, allowing Apple to successfully eliminate its competitor Tandy's TRS-80 computer.

Therefore, the cooperation between CGRID and Apple Computer has created a win-win situation, with this driving force, Apple is quickly moving towards the 10,000 monthly sales mark, and Tang Huan has easily completed the accumulation of original funds in the entrepreneurial stage.

In the past few days, Tang Huan has stayed at Apple, in addition to solving various problems in the actual application process of CGRID in a timely manner, he has also used the convenient working environment to develop a new product, the display function enhancement expansion card of Apple's second-generation computer.

Wozniak invented Apple's second-generation machine, one of the first factors to consider is how to save costs, so the module of the computer display function cannot be equipped with a special chip, just a part of the circuit on the motherboard, the main functions involved are realized by the software code executed by the CPU, and the display mode is the > used by the TV

But even under such rudimentary conditions, Wolds still managed to display 24 lines and 80 columns of capital letters on the screen, supporting 16 colors in the lowest resolution 40x48 mode and 6 colors in the highest resolution 280x192 mode, which is very remarkable and can be said to be a precedent for personal computer technology.

Of course, no matter how clever Wrights' technology is, its limitations are innately determined by hardware resources. It wasn't until 1983 that Apple slowly followed the model AppleiiPlus with the AppLeiie, which directly built in the display function enhancement expansion card, supported lowercase letters, enhanced the two resolution modes to 80x48 and 560x192, and could display the maximum number of colors.

Tang Huan's new product was developed by looking at the gap in the market, and whether Appleiie will appear along the trajectory of history is not within his consideration.

Moreover, at present, the conditions for mass production and listing of display function enhancement expansion cards are fully met, and Tang Huan can easily obtain a variety of high-quality and inexpensive electronic components from Japan in the market, which is enough to ensure the profit margin of his products.

I have to say that during this period, Japan's electronics industry developed extremely rapidly, relying on low-price dumping, daring to compete with the semiconductor industry in the United States, and even Intel finally had to transfer its main business and concentrate on >

Tang Huan naturally likes this kind of situation, so that he can have room to show his talents.

Seeing that Tang Huan had designed such a high-level display enhancement card within a few days, Wads was surprised.

At this time, Apple's third-generation machine is still in the research and development stage, and the main product on the market is Apple's second-generation machine, as a developer, Wads is constantly improving it, and the display enhancement card is using the expansion slot that Wolds tried to leave at the beginning, which perfectly enhances the performance of Apple's second-generation machine.

Tang Huan's achievements not only prove Watts' correct foresight, but also show Tang Huan's deep understanding of the products designed by Watts, just like meeting a bosom friend, and suddenly won the favor of the old technical naughty boy Watts, coupled with Tang Huan's intention to make friends, the two quickly became good friends, so that Tang Huan can be regarded as a vote of contacts within Apple.

Out of prudence, Tang Huan produced a small number of samples of the first batch of display enhancement cards, and he referred to one-third of the price of the entire computer to price his new product at $500, intending to put it on the market first depending on the effect before deciding on the subsequent plan.

Apple has begun to use cgrid in an all-round way, Tang Huan found Scott and gave away two display enhancement cards, in fact, it was a small abacus for free testing, but he was still very confident in the effect of the combination of cgrid and display enhancement cards.

During this period, Tang Huan also considered the establishment of a company, but he was really busy, so he could only plan roughly in his heart first.

……

In the midst of the busyness, the time came on April 10th, and the second stop of Deng Lijun's North American tour began, at the San Francisco Meisheng Hall.

Compared with the first performance four days ago, the response this time was greater, and when Tang Huan came backstage, he noticed that many fans were staying outside.

After glancing around, Tang Huan found a group of acquaintances, the peers of his grandfather's continuation branch, who really didn't talk to each other for more than half a sentence, and he didn't bother to say hello.

Tang Huan was just about to go to find Deng Lijun, when he suddenly heard a female voice shouting, "Tang Huan, you are here too." ”

Looking back and following the prestige, Tang Huan recognized the other party as Wang Xuehong, a classmate of Berkeley, this girl played the piano well, Tang Huan once used the flute and Wang Xuehong's piano ensemble in the school's music activities, and the two could be called good friends.

Wait, Wang Xuehong? Tang Huan rubbed his eyes, carefully looked at the girls who came over, and exclaimed in his heart, it was too coincidental, isn't this the daughter of the Wang family of Baodao, the richest woman in Baodao in the future, the shareholder of Xiangjiang TVB, the head of VIA and HTC, and is known as the female Jobs.

This era is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents, and I have to be more serious about archaeology in the future, otherwise I may miss some interesting discoveries.

The Wang family attaches great importance to the education of their children, after graduating from high school, Wang Xuehong came to Berkeley to study, and she is usually very low-key, no classmates know her true identity, Tang Huan naturally will not take the initiative to break it.

& Coincidentally, if you have a ticket, come over and increase your knowledge. I forgot, but you love music. Tang Huan replied with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart about how to recruit the future female Jobs into the company that was about to be established and work for herself.

In terms of technology, Tang Huan is confident that he can lead this era for more than ten years, but the company's management and the establishment of network resources cannot be completed alone, which is also the biggest reason for taking a fancy to Wang Xuehong, and everyone is still Chinese.

While the two were talking, a junior from the Tang family came over, "Tang Huan, you don't feel at ease to engage in your studies, what kind of excitement are you coming to the concert, be careful I tell Aunt Tang Yun." Besides, what can you understand with a dirt bun, why don't you sell me the ticket and give you double the price. ”

& Go while playing. Tang Huan reprimanded angrily, and then explained to Wang Xuehong, "Let you see and laugh, the family is big, and everyone has it." ”

Wang Xuehong nodded, as if she felt the same way, she said: "I thought I would see Deng Lijun backstage, but I didn't expect so many people, otherwise we would have entered the venue and waited for the performance." ”

Tang Huan nodded, surrounded by fans outside, it was really not good to meet Deng Lijun again, so he simply took advantage of this time gap to have a good chat with Wang Xuehong. I remember that Wang Xuehong graduated with a master's degree in 1981, and it is now the stage of handover between undergraduate and graduate students, and the accumulated knowledge is enough to cope with the work.

& Hong, I recently developed a software program, which sells well in Apple, and the market prospects are very promising, so I want to set up a company for special operations, but unfortunately there is a shortage of manpower, are you interested in using your spare time to start a business, and I will give you shares for free when I come, so that you can be a shareholder. Tang Huan tried his best to bewitch.

The future richest woman in Baodao really has the gene of entrepreneurship in her bones, and as soon as she heard Tang Huan's idea, she became interested, readily agreed, and began to ask questions, Tang Huan patiently answered, and chatted until the concert began.
