Chapter 320
Zhang Zhonghua watched the ship leave the port for a long time, and then got into a customized vehicle and left the port under the protection of Wang Weihua and several other bodyguards.
"Weihua, how is your Aihua's surgery?"
Zhang Zhonghua, who was sitting in the car, asked Wang Weihua in the co-pilot with concern.
"Thank you boss for your concern, Aihua's surgery was very successful, and the doctor said that he could be discharged after half a month of hospitalization."
Wang Weihua said to Zhang Zhonghua very excitedly.
Now Zhang Zhonghua is the life-saving benefactor of him and his son, it is really the greatest luck in life to meet the boss, and the child is finally saved, and he feels that his life has been satisfied.
"That's good, I'm going to set up a group of schools for the children of the group's employees to study for free, which can be regarded as eliminating the worries of employees."
Zhang Zhonghua This is not a whim, but premeditated, Zhang Zhonghua had thought about adopting the descendants of the orphan training group, but now it is just a group of employees' children to cultivate, and it really doesn't cost much.
"No need, boss, you can advance your salary to treat Aihua, I'm already grateful, how can I take advantage of you."
After Wang Aihua listened to Zhang Zhonghua's words, although he was moved, he refused again and again, it is naturally a good thing to let the child study in the group's school, after all, he has no time to take care of the child at work every day, but he is really embarrassed to take advantage of the boss again.
"It's okay, I was going to build an orphanage to adopt homeless orphans, and I am also from three generations of poor peasants, so I know what life is like for people at the bottom."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"Then thank you boss, I'm really troublesome with you."
……
Soon the vehicle returned to the headquarters of the Jade Emperor Group, the two offices were also much empty, Hong Kong Island retained the basic configuration of personnel, most of them also went abroad to expand the territory, and now there is an empty shelf left in the Hong Kong Island headquarters.
"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple. Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. ”
Looking at the crowded Hong Kong Island outside the window, Zhang Zhonghua muttered in a low voice.
Just as Zhang Zhonghua was looking out the window, Gong Qigao pushed the door and walked in.
"Boss, I'm going to fly to Dongying tomorrow, do you have anything else to explain?"
Gong Qigao asked.
"There is nothing to be explained, you can contact me if you have something, when you go outside, it is nothing more than to vigorously train and recruit new employees, and the salary difference between Hong Kong Island and Dongying and the United Kingdom is too big, don't let employees feel dissatisfied too many times."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"I understand, everyone has worked in the past few months, and they understand that there are still Dongying in the UK with high income and higher consumption, and the employees who stay on Hong Kong Island are basically willing to stay."
Gong Qigao said with a smile.
Housing prices on Hong Kong Island are calculated in Hong Kong dollars, while Dongying is calculated in US dollars, not to mention the British pounds required to go to the United Kingdom.
After sending Gong Qigao away, Zhang Zhonghua returned to the office, opened the computer box that he brought back from Chouguo, and began to install the computer.
The huge chassis has caught up with the big ass color TV, and the display is even smaller and pitiful, Zhang Zhonghua assembled the computer and then turned it on.
Zhang Zhonghua sat in front of the computer, picked up the manual and looked at it, the computer that costs more than 10,000 US dollars, uses an 8-bit processor, and the memory is only 16kb in size, even if the computer is equipped with a floppy drive, it is also small and pitiful.
Then Zhang Zhonghua took out the computer textbook he bought in the ugly country, or familiarize himself with the COBOL language, although the current computer supports the basic language, but the COBOL language is more widely used.
COBOL language is a process-oriented high-level programming language, mainly used for data processing, and is one of the most widely used high-level languages in the world. COBOL language is a high-level language specially designed for enterprise management, which can be used for statistical reporting, financial accounting, planning, job scheduling, information retrieval, and personnel management.
Zhang Zhonghua stayed in the ugly country for a week, and asked people to investigate the computer market and software situation in the ugly country, and the results were extremely disappointing.
Up to now, there is not even a database software on the market, and the database has not developed other software, which is even more troublesome.
Nowadays, the storage of computers around the world is even more of a headache, floppy disks have not yet been invented, and the current storage still uses tapes and platters.
1MB of space requires several tapes or platters, and IBM has developed a 5GB storage device, but it is said to weigh close to 10 tons, which is about the same weight as countless tapes and disks put together.
Forget it, don't think about that, let's study the COBOL language first. Then Zhang Zhonghua picked up the book and read it, and when he got started, he could hang up this skill.
The next day, a number of newspapers on Hong Kong Island published a large number of headquarters of the Jade Emperor Group, to which CFC Restaurant belongs, to support overseas expeditions and expand overseas markets.
Central, Sing Tao Daily.
The assistant walked to Hu Xian's office, and Hu Xian said: "Boss, Zhang Sheng's group headquarters staff on Hong Kong Island have basically left Hong Kong Island by boat, it seems that this is a complete foothold in the UK and Dongying!" ”
"Zhang Sheng is really amazing, my overseas relationship said that CFC has more than 200 restaurants in Dongying, and more than 50 in the UK.
Moreover, the two places are still buying stores and opening branches, and this time the staff on Hong Kong Island used to show that there was a lot of pressure on management, recruitment and training. ”
Hu Xian, the queen of the newspaper industry, said with some envy.
The catering industry is really profitable, but it's not for everyone to play, but Zhang Sheng is really amazing, the speed of opening a store is the same as taking a plane, and it is expected that he will be able to enter other European countries after the year.
"By the way, boss, now there are a few new electric fans and a kind of humidifier on the market in Chouguo, which are produced by Yuhuang Electric Company, and they are very popular in Publix supermarkets and Tesco supermarkets in Chouguo, and they are also sold in Tesco supermarkets in the United Kingdom.
Zhang Sheng's farm in Tin Shui Wai is called Jade Emperor Animal Husbandry Company, and the transportation company is called Tianzhou Logistics Company.
Could this Jade Emperor Electric Company be established by Zhang Sheng in Dongying? ”
The assistant analyzed several of Zhang Zhonghua's companies, Yuhuang Electric Company, isn't this another cash cow company under Zhang Sheng.
"It must be, at the beginning of the year, Zhang Sheng secretly established the Jade Emperor Electric Company in Dongying, and brought more than 3,200 Dongying people from Dongying to Hong Kong Island.
Zhang Sheng, he didn't have it from the beginning, his eyes were limited to the small place of Hong Kong Island, this Zhang Sheng made money so easily, why is it so difficult for our newspaper industry! ”
Hu Xian said depressedly.
"Now the economy in Southeast Asia is sluggish, and there are a lot fewer advertising companies, while Europe and the United States are making money, but the competition there is too fierce."
The assistant sighed.
"Zhang Sheng once said that it is possible to enter the newspaper media industry in the future, but at that time, a real dragon entered the newspaper industry, and no matter how powerful the news gathering and editing staff under our command were, they did not have the powerful information channels brought by CFC's branches all over the world."
"Yes, CFC restaurants are expected to be all over those developed countries in four or five years, and it is estimated that some relatively backward but not too dangerous countries will also open branches in several important cities, they do have an unparalleled advantage in information channels, we can't compare."
The assistant also shook his head helplessly.

Worldwide Shipping Company.
The charter king looked at today's newspaper news about a large number of employees of the headquarters of the Jade Emperor Group leaving their posts and alimony payments to Dongying and the United Kingdom, and praised Zhang Zhonghua very much.
Nowadays, CFC catering is booming in Dongying and the United Kingdom, and the fans of Dongying's Jade Emperor Electric Appliances exported to Chouguo are also in full swing, and Lou Zhenhua, chairman of Lou's Group, has put down Lou's Group, and has also had a second spring in Dongying.
In June, it had been a few days since the departure of the employees of the Jade Emperor Group.
Zhang Zhonghua happily greeted IBM employees downstairs at the headquarters of the Jade Emperor Group, and he spent $3 million to purchase a top-of-the-line, highest-end IBM mainframe computer from Chouguo.
IBM 360 represents the full range of applications of IBM computers from industry and commerce to science. The unprecedented investment in IBM 360 computers included 60,000 new employees, the construction of five new factories, and more than $5 billion in research and development.
IBM's 5 billion yuan gamble, whether the 360 computer can be successfully developed, determines the future and fate of this old company. On April 7, 1964, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the old Watson, the "big gamble" of 5 billion yuan won the 360 series computer for IBM, with a total of 6 models of large, medium and small computers and 44 kinds of new supporting equipment, all of which are "compatible machines".
Five or six IBM employees carefully carried large boxes into Zhang Zhonghua's office, and it took more than an hour for the computer to be assembled, and the large office of 20 square meters was occupied a quarter of the area.
After IBM engineers assembled the computer, they carefully taught Zhang Zhonghua how to operate and use it, which made Zhang Zhonghua sigh that it was really too troublesome.
Seeing off the IBM employees, Zhang Zhonghua walked into the new office excitedly, looking at the huge computer and was very excited, finally walking in the forefront of the times again.
The 360 series is equipped with three tape drives that are more than 160 centimeters high and almost 150 centimeters wide. The core storage unit of the 360 computer is even larger, and the height is almost the same as its height of 180; The display equipment is still good, two 18-inch monitors have exploded more than 10,000 dollars of DEC computers; Zhang Zhonghua is also very satisfied with the communication equipment, and Zhang Zhonghua is even more excited to see the network cable, although the current notebook cannot be connected to the local area network, but there is still a chance.
The computer that Zhang Zhonghua purchased at a cost of more than $3 million is equipped with 8MB of main memory, has 16 32-bit registers, and has achieved a speed of 2.5 million operations per second.
This configuration also basically meets the needs of their own waves, and it is also purchased from the United Kingdom to take a special plane to Hong Kong Island, and there is no computer store in Southeast Asia, and it is estimated that there is only one person who can play.
Zhang Zhonghua's purchase of IBM's computer was also purely helpless, and the PDP computer of DEC Computer Company could not be used at all, and there was no need to think about programming, and a lot of tapes had to be used for storage.
"Ah Hua, these things are sold for $3 million, this ugly Chinese is very good at stealing money."
Lou Xiao'e, who heard that Zhang Zhonghua bought a big toy worth three million dollars, ran to the company and looked at the decision-making computer and couldn't help but sigh.
"This broken computer is worth 150,000 floor fans for us, let alone 200,000 to earn back such a computer, and the IBM company in the ugly country is too dark."
Several company personnel stood at the door of the office, and they also complained that they would not approach this office in the future, and if they broke a part, they couldn't afford to work for ten lifetimes.
"IBM has invested $5 billion in researching this series of computers, and if you don't sell them, you can't get back your money, and people don't do charity."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"$5 billion, so much! The GDP here has not reached $5 billion in two years, and IBM is too rich. ”
"$5 billion a few years ago was $28 billion!"
The company's remaining personnel were obviously shocked, and IBM was too rich, spending $5 billion to develop new computers.
"What is IBM's current market value, and it is not tens of billions of dollars!" Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise.
"I went to the ugly country last month to find out that IBM is now worth $192 billion. IBM's market capitalization is 80 times the GDP here, twice the national GDP of Dongying, and 23.55% of the national GDP of the ugly country. ”
Zhang Zhonghua said with emotion that 1967 was the peak of IBM's market capitalization, and the company's market value exceeded the annual GDP of all countries, with the exception of ugly countries.
"Isn't the IBM boss the richest man in the world?" An employee asked.
"IBM was first traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 1915, and now it's been on the market for more than 50 years, so how many shares do the founders still have. The current richest man in the world is Paul Getty, the oil tycoon of the ugly country, worth more than $3 billion. Zhang Zhonghua explained.
Paul Getty is only the richest man in the world on the surface, and the real giant family doesn't know how many, the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family, etc., these have a wealth of at least 200 billion US dollars.
"Okay, don't enter this room in the future, and I won't repair it if something goes wrong." Zhang Zhonghua admonished. From now on, this will be my secret work place, and the safe will be moved here.
"Boss, do you want to replace it with an anti-theft door, it's safer." Qiu Meihui, deputy administrative manager, said.
"Okay, tell Huamei to change it." Safety first, this is the starting point for stepping into the computer industry in the future.
Two hours later, Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with the brand-new high-level security door, and the staff also returned to their jobs.
Zhang Zhonghua took the simple manual and looked at it, and the introduction was too simple, this is still thinking about charging high service fees in the future, hooligan.
