"IBM has always been committed to promoting the development of global computers and making great contributions to the scientific and technological progress of all mankind, and what I have done is just a trivial matter compared to your company."

Zhang Zhonghua

Zhang Zhonghua also came to a wave of commercial blowing to little Watson, as the saying goes, a good sedan chair carries people, and business blows each other, I can blow until you doubt life.

"Hahaha, everyone is contributing to the scientific and technological progress of mankind, and history will remember us."

The two exchanged a few words in business, and were moved by their noble sentiments, and the high price of their own products and software was completely ignored by the two.

"As for the C language opposite, I will recruit some computer elites and academic institutions to work together to develop and improve it.

Personal use is free of charge, commercial use is licensed, and the profits obtained are used to maintain the operation of C's schedule. ”

Zhang Zhonghua is ready to make money by relying on the commercial licensing of the C language, as long as the earth is not destroyed, the C language is not free.

Thinking about the billions of computer users around the world in the future, Zhang Zhonghua is excited about the profits brought by the development of software in the C language of commercial companies.

"That's as it should be, and the company needs capital to operate. However, it may take us half a month for IBM to study the IX system, and I don't know when Zhang is going to start the development conference. ”

Watson Jr. asked.

"The exact timing is up to IBM, but I hope IBM can invite some university professors and some well-known computer experts to come together for the development conference."

Zhang Zhonghua said.

We have to ask IBM, who let IBM be alone in the world, and can't even find a competitor who can fight, and really encounter a pair of hands in his pockets, I don't know what to call an opponent.

People have to bow their heads under the roof, and when you IBM want me to develop a development project, then I will develop it when I want.

Watson Jr. feels that two months is about the same time, and IBM will make some adjustments in these two months to make the IX system perfectly supported by IBM run, and only then can IBM beat its competitors.

"There is no problem at all, we at IBM will come forward to contact the Chouguo Computer Association, Bell Labs and other scientific research institutions, and the university will invite professors from Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Princeton and other universities to study together. Well, this possibility will take some time, maybe two months. ”

"Two months? If there is no problem, then we have a good cooperation. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.

So many world-renowned universities have joined in, all of which are the authoritative help of the C language and the promotion of the UBIX system.

"Happy working together!"

After confirming the cooperation, Zhang Zhonghua chatted with Watson Jr. for a while, and then left the IBM headquarters.

Although the IX system is free for personal use, you must always use a disk copy, which is not cheap, and it is a good profit to sell disks alone.

After resting two lines at home, Zhang Zhonghua took a plane from New York on the east coast of the ugly country to San Francisco on the west coast.

The San Francisco area has a Mediterranean climate, warm winters and cool summers, plenty of sunshine and is close to many national parks, and is known as "the most popular city for Chouguo".

It was discovered by the Spaniards in 1769.

In 1848, San Francisco joined the United States.

In the middle of the 19th century, it developed rapidly during the gold rush, and was later renamed "San Francisco" to distinguish it from Melbourne, Australia.

San Francisco, also known as "San Francisco", is the largest port city on the Pacific coast of California, a world-famous tourist destination, and the fourth most populous city in California.

San Francisco is close to Silicon Valley, one of the world's most important semiconductor and computer technology research and development bases, an important financial center on the west coast of the country, and the birthplace of the United Nations.

In the future, one-fifth of the population of San Francisco will be of Yanxia descent, which is the second largest city in the whole country and the largest proportion of Yanxia descendants.

Zhang Zhonghua walked out of San Francisco International Airport with security, the warm sun shone on his body, making people feel very comfortable, it was really a good place for sun, beach, and bikini, but the season was not right.

The temperature in San Francisco is really good, so it's no wonder that so many top universities have set up branches in San Francisco.

Zhang Zhonghua and a group of security personnel drove to Grodley Plaza in the northern waters of San Francisco, and came to San Francisco's most famous Pier 39 - Fisherman's Wharf.

Many of San Francisco's shopping malls and restaurants are conveniently located in the Fisherman's Wharf area, and many of the restaurants in San Francisco offer a wide variety of seafood.

Attractions along Fisherman's Wharf include San Francisco Marine National Historical Park, Gerrardley Plaza, and Museum of Machinery. Many large-scale events are also held in the area around Fisherman's Wharf, including the fireworks display on the National Day of the Ugly Country.

"Boss, there are so many people here in the hot summer, it feels no less than New York's Chinatown."

Zhang Long looked at the people who passed by the appearance of the hot summer from time to time and said.

"That's for sure, the place where the Yanxia people went to the ugly country was San Francisco, and many Yanxia people came here to pan for gold during the Qing Dynasty, so many Yanxia people called this place Jinshan.

Later, after the promulgation of the Chinese Exclusion Law of the Ugly Country, the Yanxia people here began to migrate to New York in the east, gradually forming the Chinatown of New York, and also making the Yanxia people scattered all over the Ugly Country. ”

Zhang Zhonghua explained.

"These ugly people are really hateful, they are lazy and squeezing out the Yanxia people, and the east-west railway of the ugly country is really long enough."

"The distance between the eastern and western states of California is more than 4,500 kilometers, and before the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad in 1869, the eastern and western parts of the ugly country were blocked by lofty mountains and deserts, and the east and west could not be directly reached.

The Panama Canal was not opened at that time, and the Chouguo people who wanted to travel from New York to San Francisco had to take a boat around Cape Horn in South America, and the travel time was as short as six months.

At that time, there was no transportation route between the east and the west, and people from the east had to risk their lives and property to get to the west, and at the same time, it was difficult to transport the rich products of California from the west to the east.

Due to geographical and transportation reasons, the western region has become a relatively independent region of the ugly country, which has not only been greatly affected in economic development, but has also become a huge hidden danger to the stability and reunification of the country.

The government of Chou Guo later realized the great significance of transportation in promoting people-to-people exchanges and economic integration, and decided to build a railway junction across the eastern and western continents of Chouguo.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Pacific Railroad Act, which stipulated that the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Central Pacific Railroad Company would jointly build the Pacific Railroad across the East and West continents.

The terrain in the east is dominated by plains, while the west is mostly faced with towering mountains and harsh climate. The section from the west to the east was the most difficult project at the beginning, starting with the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 2,100 meters above sea level, and the first 40 miles of railroad were traversed through the mountains, requiring at least 50 bridges and more than 10 tunnels to penetrate.

The construction conditions of the railway were extremely difficult, and soon after the start of construction, hundreds of workers secretly left to join the gold rush, and the slow progress almost bankrupted the contractor.

At first, finding a road builder was easy, and a large number of Irish people arrived in San Francisco every day in search of work.

But these Irishmen simply could not cope with the dangerous and exhausting road construction project, and the Irish employees were slow to progress due to alcoholism, brawls, and constant demands for higher wages.

Less than 50 miles of railroad tracks were laid in two years, and white workers regularly went on strike.

Eventually, the Central Pacific Railroad executives suggested hiring Chinese laborers, and thousands of Yanxia people were called up to participate in the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, the most difficult project in the country.

Chinese laborers sailed from Xiangjiang to Hawaii and California. In pursuit of high profits, the steamship companies increased the carrying capacity of each ship to the limit, adding mezzanine layers to the already cramped and low cabins, which was not much better than the conditions in which slaves were sold from Africa to ugly countries.

The Chinese laborers lacked air, sunlight, water, and food, and many died of suffocation, thirst, starvation, disease, or suicide.

In that year, there were 4 ships carrying 2,523 Chinese laborers, and the death toll on the way was as high as 1,620, with a mortality rate of 64.21%.

In the project, the hard-working spirit and outstanding wisdom of the Yanxia people played a key role in the construction of the railway and made a decisive contribution.

They also paid a heavy price, with countless Chinese laborers dying in high-intensity, high-risk labor. However, it is outrageous that the Yanxia people were treated unfairly at that time, such as meager remuneration, racial discrimination, and a wave of Chinese exclusion.

From the end of 1865 to the beginning of 1866, five months of snowstorms caused frequent avalanches, sometimes the entire camp was buried, and a few months later, when the ice and snow melted, people found the bodies of the Chinese workers who had been killed.

In the winter of 1866, between 500 and 1,000 Chinese laborers died in avalanches during the construction of the Sierra Ridge Pass;

In 1868, the project was extended to the Sierra Nevada, where about 1,000 Chinese laborers died as the "Great Wall of Nevada."

Throughout the Pacific Railroad, there is the skeleton of a Chinese laborer under each sleeper. ”

Several security guards who followed Zhang Zhonghua from Hong Kong Island to Chouguo were very angry after listening to Zhang Zhonghua's story, we Yanxia people endured hardships and stood hard work without fear of life and death to build the Pacific Railway, and the government of Chouguo was completely like this, unloading the mill and killing donkeys, and even introduced laws to squeeze out and suppress Yanxia people.

"The capitalists and politicians of the ugly country are all wolf-hearted things."

"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel and rest first, and then go to San Francisco's Chinatown tomorrow."

The next day.

Zhang Zhonghua and the security guard had breakfast at Fisherman's Wharf, and then rushed to San Francisco's Chinatown, the largest in the western part of the country.

Zhang Zhonghua still has to go to Chinatown first every time he goes to a city to experience the local customs of Chinatown in different places.

San Francisco's Chinatown was formed in the early days with the intersection of Tuban Street and California Street as its center, and now Chinatown is formed with Bush Street, Powell Street, Broadway Street, and Kearney Street as the scope to form a hot summer area.

Walking into Chinatown feels like walking to a temple fair in Xiangjiang, where countless overseas Chinese live and work. On the streets of San Francisco's Chinatown, restaurants, shops, grocery stores, bookstalls, pharmacies, hotels, etc. are all in traditional Chinese characters, and the merchants and customers on the street are also communicating in Cantonese or Hokkien.

Chinatown has everything from groceries to precious jewelry, as well as traditional dining and architecture, while San Francisco is closer to Asia and has a more Chinese flavor than New York's Chinatown.

"Boss, this is basically the same as Kowloon in Xiangjiang, this is the authentic Chinatown, which is more Chinese than London and New York."

Zhang Long looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, and his ears were all some tasteless Cantonese, Chinese, Hokkien, Hakka, etc., I didn't know if I thought it was in Southeast Asia and not in an ugly country.

"Let's go to the mall and have dinner at Kang Nian Seafood Restaurant at noon."

Zhang Zhonghua looked at the largest shopping mall and restaurant on the side of the road and said, it was really lively.

Walking into the mall, there are a lot of domestic products inside, clothes, shoes, pots and pans, etc., all kinds of daily necessities. Moutai, Wuliangye, Zhonghua, Panda, etc., there are a lot of big-name cigarettes and alcohol, and security can also supplement some rations.

What makes Zhang Zhonghua happy is that there are also induction cookers, rice cookers, electric cookers and other kitchen supplies of Yuhuang Electric in the mall.

Everyone walking on the street was attracted by the excitement in front, and at a glance, good guys, there was a crowd of people in front of the Zhenfan National Art Museum.

"Bruce Lee! Bruce lee! ”

Zhang Zhonghua heard many people shouting Bruce Lee's name.

This made Zhang Zhonghua quite excited, and squeezed into the crowd in front with security, but he didn't expect to meet Bruce Lee when he first came to San Francisco.

Bruce Lee, whose real name is Li Zhenfan, was born in San Francisco, California, in November 1940, and is related to the richest man He Dong.

Bruce Lee is the pioneer of the world's martial arts reform, a martial arts philosopher, the pioneer of kung fu films, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do.

In 1962, Bruce Lee opened the "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum", in 1967, he created his own Jeet Kune Do, and on July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee died in Xiangjiang at the age of 32.

In 1979, the city government of Los Angeles designated June 8, the opening date of the remake of "Game of Death", as "Bruce Lee Day". In 1993, the ugly country issued a banknote commemorating the 20th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death, and the Haolaiwu Avenue of Stars was paved with Bruce Lee's commemorative star emblem; In the same year, he was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Xiangjiang Film Awards.

The cause of Bruce Lee's death is an unsolved mystery, and there are many opinions and confusion. However, Bruce Lee's 28-year-old son Li Guohao must have died of murder, and on April 1, 1993, during the filming of a shootout scene, the prop gun accidentally fired a real bullet, and Li Guohao was shot in the abdomen and died of excessive blood loss.

It is definitely impossible for Bruce Lee to kill him, and it is estimated that his god of war in the courtyard will not be able to stop a single move in front of Bruce Lee, so let's take a group photo and ask for an autograph first, and talk about other things later.

Zhang Zhonghua saw the two apprentices around Bruce Lee, the black man was Bruce Lee's first apprentice, Jesse Glover, and the Japanese was another apprentice, Takeyuki Kimura.
