Ordinary businesses generally choose to open on the eighth day of the new year, one is to get a good luck, and the other is to avoid opening too early and wasting costs with less customer flow. However, the game hall as an entertainment venue does not have such concerns, and the holiday is the time when there are the most customers, and if it opens late, it can be said that it is deliberately unable to get along with the money.

At 10:18 a.m. on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after a burst of firecrackers, the Galaxy Video Game Hall officially opened for business after the New Year. Compared with the previous year, the business after the year is even more prosperous, the game hall is crowded with customers, and dozens of machines have players engaged in the game.

That morning, Geng Wenyang was thinking about how to open the entertainment plaza as soon as possible in his office when a phone call came in.

"Hey, is it Geng Wenyang?" There was a pleasant girl's voice on the phone, and Geng Wenyang couldn't hear who was on the phone for a while, so he had to say: "I'm Geng Wenyang, who are you?" ”

The girl in the microphone sighed and said, "I can be regarded as looking for you!" I'm Gan Ruolan, and I called you several times yesterday morning but no one answered. ”

Gan Ruolan actually called her office? Geng Wenyang hurriedly said: "This is the phone number of my office, of course I have to go home and live here during the New Year holiday." I just moved back last night, and it would be great if you could get through on the phone. ”

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? I called several times, and I thought I misremembered your phone number. Gan Ruolan couldn't help but complain.

"It's a lot of good things, didn't this still find me?" Geng Wenyang comforted her and said, "Say, is there anything wrong with me?" ”

Gan Ruolan said: "Tomorrow we will have a group of classmates together, and after dinner, we want to find a place to play." I'd like to ask you if it's open? If it's open, we'll go to you. ”

"Okay!" Geng Wenyang said: "We will officially open today, and you are welcome to bring your classmates to play." ”

"Hee-hee, that's great." Gan Ruolan said happily: "Then see you tomorrow." ”

After lunch the next day, Gan Ruolan really led seven or eight young men and women to the Galaxy Game Hall. After hearing the news, Geng Wenyang hurriedly went downstairs to greet him, and Gan Ruolan introduced him: "Geng Wenyang, these are all my junior high school classmates. ”

Geng Wenyang smiled: "Welcome everyone to our game hall!" Since you are Gan Ruolan's classmates, you are also my friends. Count me as a treat today, 50 game coins per person, and you can ask for more when you run out. ”

Gan Ruolan didn't expect him to entertain him for free, and said in surprise: "No, we have money." ”

Geng Wenyang admires her dedication to serving the masses in the mountainous areas, and wants to take this opportunity to give her a long face, who cares about this little money? The next refusal said: "It's your business that you have money, and it's my business that I'm willing to treat you." Don't think about it, let's take your classmates in and play. ”

As he spoke, he took a plate of small cloth pockets and distributed them to the students, each containing fifty game coins.

Gan Ruolan's classmates saw that there were games that didn't cost money to play, so where could they wait? One by one, they happily took the cloth bag and rushed to play the game, leaving only Gan Ruolan and a tall and good-looking girl standing in place and not moving.

Gan Ruolan wore a light yellow woolen short coat today, a coffee-colored beret on her head, and a brown cashmere scarf, which set off her petite and cute taste. And the tall girl wore a pink eighty-percent new waist down jacket, which seemed to be almost a head taller than Gan Ruolan.

"This is my classmate Yu Hong." Gan Ruolan pointed to the girl next to her who was very curious with big eyes and introduced: "She is my best friend, and she is now in the third year of high school." ”

"Welcome! Welcome! Geng Wenyang said, "Are you going to sit in my office for a while?" Or do you want to play with your classmates for a while? ”

Gan Ruolan glanced at the overcrowded game hall, and said with a smile: "There are too many people here, can you go and sit in your office for a while?" ”

"Okay!" Geng Wen raised his head and led the way: "Please go this way!" ”

The three of them entered the office, and Geng Wenyang personally poured tea for the two girls: "How about last year's Longjing." ”

"Thank you!" Gan Ruolan thanked her, picked up the tea bowl and sniffed, "Well, it's really fragrant." ”

Geng Wenyang smiled and pointed to the various snacks on the coffee table and said, "There are also small snacks bought by friends from the capital, you can also try them." ”

Yu Hong picked up a donkey and rolled around and said strangely: "Huh? What is this? Like a glutinous rice cake. ”

"It's called donkey rolling." Geng Wenyang introduced: "It's a famous food in the capital, it's delicious, you can try it." ”

"What about this? What is this called? Gan Ruolan pointed to a plate of yellow pastries.

Geng Wenyang said: "This is called pea yellow, and it is also a famous snack in the capital, which is delicious." ”

"Really?" Gan Ruolan carefully picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed it twice, and said with a smile: "Well, it's soft and glutinous, it's really delicious." ”

The delicious dessert is the favorite of the girls, and the two girls gradually relax after eating and drinking.

"You're so good, you opened such a big game hall." Gan Ruolan sighed: "I see that there are thirty or forty game consoles, where did you get them from?" ”

"We produce it ourselves." Geng Wenyang said with a smile: "I opened an industrial company specializing in the production of large game consoles. ”

"Oops!" The two girls showed a look of surprise, and Gan Ruolan said: "You can even produce game consoles, is the technology so advanced?" ”

Geng Wenyang smiled and said, "It's not as advanced as you think." A game console is composed of a motherboard, a control panel, a monitor, a controller, and other components. I bought these parts from the south and assembled them in the factory. ”

"It's not easy!" Gan Ruolan said: "At least you have to understand the technology inside, right?" ”

"It's just an eight-bit microcontroller, nothing difficult." Geng Wenyang said: "There are only 256 operations per second, which is far worse than computers that operate hundreds of millions of times per second. ”

"Hundreds of millions of times per second?!" Yu Hong looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Our Galaxy supercomputer can only calculate 100 million times per second, and hundreds of millions of times of computers have to be found in the United States, right?" ”

Later generations of small home desktops can easily reach billions of calculations per second, but even the most developed countries do not have such terrifying technology.

Geng Wenyang saw that he had missed his mouth, and said with a smile: "Technology is constantly improving, although it is not now, it will definitely be in the future." Maybe it will enter the home and become a cheap daily item like a color TV. ”

"Color TVs aren't cheap!" Yu Hong couldn't help but retorted: "The cheapest domestic color TV also costs one or two thousand, and you have to have a ticket to buy it." ”

"Ah...... This ......" Geng Wenyang said: "Don't look at the current CRT color TV for one or two thousand yuan, and the cheap LCD color TV in 30 years will only be two or three thousand, but for the common people, the relative burden cannot be compared." ”

"I haven't seen a classmate with a computer at home." Gan Ruolan said: "I haven't heard of anyone I know at home. ”

Yu Hong pouted and said, "How can an individual afford such a valuable machine?" Our No. 1 middle school is the focus of the city, so we can have a computer room, which other schools have not heard of. ”

At the end of the 80s, computers were indeed uncommon and rare, and the computer room equipped with computers was a key protection department that could only be entered without taking off shoes.

Geng Wenyang smiled and said, "There will be, there will be." The times are developing, and the things that we couldn't think of are now all available? ”

"Maybe in the near future, computers will become as common as electronic calculators." Geng Wenyang encouraged them: "I hope you will study hard and become the designers of our domestic computers in the future." ”

Gan Ruolan said: "Geng Wenyang, you really know how to speak, how can I design a computer as a person who studies Chinese medicine." ”

"You won't have Yu Hong." Geng Wenyang encouraged: "In this year's college entrance examination, Yu Hong strives to take a computer-related major and devote himself to the research industry of our domestic computer. ”

Yu Hong glanced at Geng Wenyang, and said secretly in her heart: "This friend of Lan Lan is said to have graduated from junior high school, but judging from his conversation and demeanor, he doesn't look like an uneducated person. How could he have understood so much? It's really weird! ”
