Negotiations with Nikon did not go on after all, and Tsuruda's fainting became a pause at halftime. The Japanese team applied to postpone the negotiations on the grounds that there was no decision-maker, but Zhou Shuo readily and generously agreed.

For the hat-trick Fanhan Group, it was already garbage time. The longer Nikon's decision drags on, the higher the liquidated damages it may eventually have to pay to Intel.

If you don't want to end up in bankruptcy, there is only one choice left in front of Nikon now, and that is to survive.

In Zhou Shuo's private thoughts, it is best to drag it out for three or five months. Then Nikon simply filed for bankruptcy protection, and everyone happily divided the corpse and went home for the New Year.

Of course, Nikon could not have made such a choice, and the saying that even bad action is better than no action at all, and it is really correct at this point in time.

Since Zhou Shuo came up with the repetitive projection exposure technology, every second Nikon used to make decisions can be said to be made of gold.

"Huh? Principal Zhou? ”

Zhou Shuo swallowed the wonton in his mouth and raised his head. The person in front of her was a teenage girl in her youth, she had beautiful short hair, wore the uniform of the second high school, and stood in front of the breakfast stall with a surprised face.

"You are?" Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't seem to have any impression of this girl in his head, and asked a little vaguely.

"You don't know me, my name is Li Yun." Li Yun stood there vividly, and a breath of youth rushed towards her.

"Li Yun?" Zhou Shuo subconsciously shook his head, he really couldn't think of anything about this name, and asked suspiciously: "You are the student I taught in my second high school?" ”

"Not really!" Li Yun chuckled. Shaking his head, he said, "I was a student in the original high school computer class, and I graduated last year. He is currently tutoring in the second high school. Prepare to take this year's college entrance examination. ”

"Oh, do you have time to chat with me?" Zhou Shuo suddenly realized. He beckoned and asked, "Why don't you have a job?" The first class of computer science students who graduated last year should be easy to find a job, right? ”

"Actually, I've been working for a while." Li Yun sat across from him a little shyly, and spoke without much restraint: "But after two months of work, I think I still have learned too little." Later, when Pan Han College was established, I wanted to go to a university and try it. Now with a few good classmates, I will tutor in the second high school return class. ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If you can have this vision, your future achievements will definitely not be small!" ”

Zhou Shuo chatted with Li Yun for a few words while eating breakfast. She seemed to be waiting for someone. The eyes are always wandering around. After a while, she stood up and waved her hand and shouted.

"Xiao Xin, here!" Li Yun shouted, jumped to her feet, waved her arms and greeted the other side.

A group of more than a dozen girls wearing the uniforms of the second high school ran over from a distance. Zhou Shuo looked familiar, there were not only students from the first high school graduation class, but also fresh graduates from the second high school, and it should be the students of the computer interest group who gathered together to act collectively.

Li Yun pulled a chubby girl with a double ponytail and shouted like a treasure: "Xiao Xin." Who do you see this is? ”

"Ahh The girl named Xiao Xin screamed in surprise, cramped and didn't know where to put her hand, and shouted shyly: "Hello Principal Zhou!" My name is Li Yixin, and I am a former high school graduate. ”

"Hello!" Zhou Shuo was surrounded by a group of girls. Breakfast was pretty much the same. He wiped his mouth with the tissue on the table, and asked curiously, "Seeing that the college entrance examination is coming, where are you going?" ”

He didn't finish speaking. A voice of surprise came from the crowd, shouting excitedly.

"Teacher Zhou!"

"He Youyou!"

Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect to see her here. The scenes that happened between the two passed in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel some strange feelings in their hearts.

"We heard that there was an internet café with internet access at the train station. It's not about relaxing before the exam and getting ready to see something fresh. He Youyou was obviously very happy to meet Zhou Shuo unexpectedly, and said happily: "I heard that the Internet café is opened by Fanhan Group, Mr. Zhou, why don't you take us there?" ”

"Oh, yes!" Zhou Shuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, maybe He Youyou's feelings for him had been smoothed out into ordinary teacher-student feelings. Thinking about it this way, he didn't feel embarrassed.

In order to accumulate experience for Pan Han Plaza, Pan Han Network Company found a prosperous area in the city center and opened an Internet café. Of course, the vast majority of people don't know what Internet cafes are for, but it is impossible for these high-ranking students not to know.

Hearing Zhou Shuo's answer, a cheer suddenly sounded around him. Don't look at the few people in Xiucheng who know how to surf the Internet, but there is only one Internet café. However, foreigners in Xiucheng are very fond of surfing the Internet, and this Internet has become popular unconsciously.

The café, called Panhan Space, is located in a newly built Internet building next to the train station. Walk through the lobby on the first floor, take the elevator up to the 12th floor of the building, and open the door to the bar of Pan Han Time and Space.

It's more of a café-like place than an internet café. It is completely different from the humble black Internet cafes in the early days of history, and the facilities and conditions of Panhan Time and Space are definitely top-level after twenty years.

The simple black bar not only provides online registration, but also sells a variety of drinks and snacks. Coffee, tea, juice and carbonated drinks are all available in the city. There are also a variety of nutty snacks, popcorn and ice cream that were new in 1996, and even non-Internet users are willing to come here to buy some beautifully packaged snacks.

However, the main attraction is not the food served at these bars, but the end of the long queue inside a red door next to the bar. It was the first Kenda Chicken restaurant in Xiucheng, and although it did not provide seats, it could only be regarded as an affiliate of the Internet café, but its actual popularity seemed to be much better than that of the Internet café.

Standing in front of the bar counter where he checked in for Internet access, watching the girls look inside one by one, Zhou Shuo smiled helplessly: "Okay, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you." ”

Although it was a civilian meal in the United States, in China in the 90s, it was a food that only the "powerful" could eat. Fifteen yuan for a hamburger may not be a big deal in twenty years, but in Embroidery City, where the average salary is only four or five hundred yuan, it is a bit of a luxury.

"I want the Orleans Grilled Chicken Thigh Burner!"

"I want a sundae!"

"Suck on the original chicken!"

The CEO of the dignified Fanhan Group had a treat, and of course everyone was not polite, and they ordered the food they wanted to eat. Zhou Shuo looked up to the side and asked, "He Youyou, what do you want to eat?" ”

He Youyou's family conditions are good, but it is also the first time to eat Kenda chicken. She thought about it, but only ordered the cheapest fries on the menu.

The interior decoration of Pan Han Time and Space is arranged according to the café, and in the early years of the Internet café, the general knowledge level of Internet access was relatively high, and the proportion of foreigners was relatively large, so there was no need to worry that they could not afford to spend money. The cost of ten dollars an hour is not a big burden for them.

The entire Internet café is divided into three areas, namely the general area, the VIP area and the private room area, and the conditions provided are roughly the same as those of the high-end Internet cafes of later generations.

"Yoyo, I remember you did well in your studies, right?" This group of girls occupied a place in the VIP area, and they all turned on the computer in a new way, ready to try how to surf the Internet.

Students who have left a high school, as well as some students from the original computer interest group, do not have to worry about not being able to use computers.

He Youyou nodded proudly, and looked at Zhou Shuo with big eyes flickering: "Last time in the mock exam, I was in the top ten in school!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Shuo tilted his head to look at her, and smiled with satisfaction: "What, which university do you want to go to?" I also have a little relationship in the imperial capital, do you want me to help you get through the relationship? ”

"I want to go to Panhan Academy." He Youyou operated the computer and said lightly.

However, these words scared Zhou Shuo a lot, it was not that he had no confidence in Panhan College, but after all, the college was only a three, and it would be a pity that He Youyou's results were admitted to three universities.

He Youyou squeezed the tomato sauce on the fries with ease, and then ate it bite by bite. Finally, he stretched out his moist little tongue and licked it on his lips, rolling in the tomato sauce that stuck to it.

Zhou Shuo lost his mind slightly, and then said in surprise: "It's no problem for your grades to go to the imperial capital, why bother to take three books in the embroidery city?" ”

"I ...... I want to stay in Xiucheng! He Youyou's teeth bit his lip, a little sad that Zhou Shuo didn't understand his feelings.

"Oh, that's it." No matter how dull Zhou Shuo was, he also found that he had asked questions that he shouldn't have asked. He smiled and changed the topic: "How about it, did I immediately leave the technology in your hands during this time?" Computer literacy will soon become obsolete if it is not kept up to date. ”

He Youyou heard him talk about this, and couldn't help but be a little aggrieved: "Teacher Zhou, you too, since you left, the computer class in the second high school has been completely wasted." The new teacher didn't know anything at all, and even asked us to teach him some common sense knowledge in class......"

He Youyou talked endlessly about the various shortcomings and problems of the new teacher, and occasionally bit his ears with his girlfriends, and the morning passed quickly.

Zhou Shuo has not been on the Internet for a long time, and the line in the Internet café is a special line pulled from the network center, which can be regarded as rapid in this era. After browsing several foreign websites, he couldn't help but start to ponder. (To be continued......)
