Chapter 220: Plague to Death

“Ifyoustartmeup,Ifyoustartmeup,I’llneverstop”

The Rolling Stones, one of the most prominent bands in the history of music, one of the most important bands in the history of pop music, one of the most influential bands in the history of rock, one of the best bands in live performance, and one of the most successful and longest-lived bands in the history of rock 'n' roll.

Their appearance has always been accompanied by flowers, applause, screams and attention, but the protagonist of today's scene is not their singing, and even the appearance of the Rolling Stones can only be called an embellishment.

After singing the song "StartMeUp", the atmosphere in the Raymond University athletic field rose to the top. Countless spectators in blue shirts and black pants stood up and waved their arms.

Behind the Rolling Stones, a huge "Start" button falls from the sky. The band members smiled and waved their hands and left the stage from the right side. Today's protagonist is about to take the stage, even if it doesn't have human legs.

August 24, 1995 was a moment in the history of computers. Windows95 system, this great product has finally been released by Microsoft!

Either way, Microsoft's Windows 95 is a generational product. Never before had software made computers so approachable. The unique window system makes technology no longer just exclusive to a few people, but truly enters people's lives.

Excellent multimedia features, user-friendly operation, and beautiful interface. This was not what computers should have been for people in 1995, but a groundbreaking revolution.

Microsoft's two founders, Bill Murphy. Gates and Paul. Wearing a uniform of blue short-sleeved shirt and white pants, Allen walked onto the stage with a spring breeze and a smug face. They are proud that Microsoft will establish its supremacy in the software industry for at least two decades, and no one will ever challenge Microsoft in the field of operating systems or even software again.

"Windows 95 is really a good software, and Microsoft's technology is really eye-opening." Pang Zhou held on to the armrest of the chair, stretched his neck and looked desperately at the stage.

Although Zhou Shuo had no interest in the old windows95, he still waited patiently for that legendary moment to come. According to the legend of the rivers and lakes, at the press conference of windows95, there was a picture that did not circulate......

"I am very pleased to be able to bring you this epoch-making product ...... today"

Bill. Gates spoke eloquently on stage. The people below listened with enthusiasm. Features of Windows 95. It paints a picture of the technology of the future. You must know that even the special effects of Hollywood movies have never had this kind of assumption before.

When the famous sci-fi movie Alien was released, humans were still using CRT monitors in the space age. turned the prequel Prometheus, but on the contrary, it was all kinds of tall. It is always the real scientists who make history.

Bill Gates continues to introduce the features of Windows 95. Zhou Shuo took out a hand-held camera in the audience. What happened next. To paraphrase the Internet buzzword of the future, it is "the image that Bill Gates most wants to delete in his life".

I saw Bill constantly operating the computer on stage, and the words on his lips were gushing. And then all of a sudden, Windows95 turned out to be a blue screen! It's a blue screen! Windows 95 is the pioneer of the Windows family. At this moment it is not a system! It's the embodiment of Microsoft's long heritage! A system that doesn't crash at the press conference can't be a Microsoft product!

Zhou Shuo held the camera high and laughed with everyone in the audience. Instead, the crowd cheered and applauded for the occasion. Windows alias plague to death, what kind of windows is not dead?

Bill was not flustered, but generously admitted that the system still had imperfections. However, as soon as he changed his words, he introduced the one-click recovery program that comes with windows95, which is enough to solve most of these problems. It was by taking advantage of this special situation that he took advantage of the situation to bring out the Ghost software, which was not very useful on DOS, as a thoughtful design, to the public.

Despite such episodes, the Windows release was a success. This global broadcast product launch event is enough to be called a grand occasion of technology, and it has sparked countless media coverage.

This year, people stayed up late in the rain and waited for windows 95 instead of iPhone. This year, Steve Jobs, who was swept away by Apple, made movies in Hollywood, and Yahoo was still a web directory of dicks. Page and his Google have not yet entered history, and Zuckerberg, who later created Facebook, is just in junior high school.

This is an era that belongs to Microsoft, to Windows, and to Bill Gates.

One of the most eye-catching features of Windows 95 is that Windows comes with the air solitaire game, which has been replaced by the client of Lianzhong Chess. As a replacement for MSN, Six-Ear IM is deeply implanted in the windows95 system.

Kidding, Bill paid 5% of Microsoft's shares for the Six Ears IM, and he wouldn't mind killing his competitors if it was just for money. But one of the great advantages of cross-shareholding is that the acquiree can ensure that a "pro-son" is treated.

Even if the MSN project is successful, its share in the Microsoft empire is probably only 5%. For Bill, the six-ear IM is more of an entry into the Internet market. Historically, his understanding of the IM software market itself has been inadequate. After all, Microsoft is Microsoft, and penguins are penguins. The market environment in the United States is still different from that in China.

Zhou Shuo carefully saved the tape and returned to Seattle satisfied. Since the successful listing of Netscape, he has suddenly gained a lot of money in his hands. Not only did it expand the North Korean Computer Company again, but it also bought an independent property next to Lake Washington as the main base in North America.

Most of the new servers of Liuer Software are located here, and the developers and marketing departments of Lianzhong Chess are also located here. Zhou Shuo deliberately chose this place with a lake view villa, and a large lawn was also attached to a small pier, which was too capitalist and corrupt......

In addition to Zhou Shuo's own residence, the villas here are also available to all Chinese engineers. They are not only the main force in the development of various programs, but also serve as a bridge between the U.S. market and domestic technical support, which means that they will work in the U.S. for a long time. In addition to the various website projects cooperated by Lianzhong Chess, Liuer Software and other Internet companies, they still need to follow up continuously.

As you can imagine, this will be a very long-term job. In this case, it is not cost-effective to still stay in a hotel. Although it seems that the profitability of Lianzhong Chess is good, and millions of value-added business expenses have been delivered to Liuer Network Communication Company in half a month, but after all, it can save a little bit. Every dollar taken back home can be broken into 8.6 portions of tweed.

Li Zhi, who came to the United States for the first time, seems to like this kind of life very much. Of course, after hearing the price of this villa, he didn't complain about Zhou Shuo's indiscriminate spending.

Just listening to the numbers may not have a feeling, but when these numbers are converted into how many such villas can be purchased, Li Zhi has an intuitive understanding of the wealth that Zhou Shuo has mastered. Although she is not the kind of woman who cares about money, what woman would not like her man to be rich?

Zhou Shuo still has to worry about the influence in China, so he keeps a low profile. Even though the Pan Han Group itself is a very large organization, there is still limited improvement in the living conditions of him and those around him. At most, it's about eating what you want and being treated with more respect when you go out. Compared to the luxury of Americans, it is really a drop in the bucket.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, it was drizzling, and a thin layer of clouds was letting in a small half of the sun. The wet lawn looks more verdant and vibrant, and the hazy rain in the distance looms over the lake, like a dreamy wonderland.

Zhou Shuo left the affairs of the company's operation alone, and this month was very free. Although the news of some competitor always came to his ears, he was completely indifferent. Even the action of Lianzhong Chess and cards built into windows95 is the result of Yu Qiong's own communication with Microsoft.

But this doesn't mean that he really lets the whole company go. Returning from Microsoft's press conference, Zhou Shuo had just been tired of Li Zhi twice, and the news of a visitor's visit came from outside.

The electronic door of the villa was opened by remote control, and a Ford sedan slowly drove in outside the door. Zhou Shuo and Li Zhi stood at the door of the villa and descended to greet each other, and a lady who looked to be in her forties and still had charm stepped out of the car.

"Ms. Zhu Liwen, it's a real pleasure, a blessing!" Zhou Shuo braved the rain and walked a few steps forward to meet him.

"You are Mr. Zhou Shuo, and I have been famous for a long time!" Zhu Liwen grabbed Zhou Shuo's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Please come inside, it's not good for your body to get wet outside." Zhou Shuo laughed, led Zhu Liwen to the eaves and pointed to Li Zhi and introduced: "This is my girlfriend Li Zhi, she doesn't know much English." ”

Zhu Liwen smiled and greeted Li Zhi in Chinese: "Hello Miss Li, you have a very good boyfriend!" (To be continued......)
