Chapter 43: A Trip to the United States (5)
"Alan, have you ever thought that the program you worked so hard to compile would be destroyed?"
"How is this possible?"
"I'm talking about a program designed specifically for you, a program that destroys......"
Fan Jianxin is giving Paul Allen, the second founder of Microsoft, the knowledge of computer viruses.
"Who would do such a thing with cramps?!"
"When there are many computers in the world connected together, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, there will be people who mischievous and compile some destructive programs, so that the computers cannot work properly, or even paralyzed......"
"Unheard of, huh...... However, it is entirely possible. ”
The Microsoft pioneer, who was obsessed with computer technology, agreed with Fan Jianxin's views.
To be honest, Fan Jianxin doesn't understand the working principle of DOS, doesn't know programming, and doesn't understand the BASIC language, but he knows that the use of computers (hardware) requires all kinds of software support.
That's enough.
This is the advantage of generational information asymmetry, even a computer programming master like Paul Allen is impressed by him.
However, although Allen admires Fan Jianxin very much, and even says that he will invite Fan Jianxin to join the company in the future, he is unwilling to sell Microsoft's shares, and he is very optimistic about Microsoft's future.
Fan Jianxin told him that Bill Gates had agreed to transfer 10% of his shares to him, and Paul Allen shook his head after hearing this, "How could Gates be willing to transfer his shares?" …… It's impossible! ”
Alan then called Gates to find out...... Even if Gates said it himself, he still didn't believe it.
"Fan, there is only one explanation for this, your stake will be of great benefit to the development of Microsoft!"
Paul Allen came to this conclusion.
In the end, Paul Allen also sold 10% of Microsoft's shares to Fan Jianxin at a price of $150,000.
In the following days, the procedures for the transfer of Microsoft's shares were processed.
Fan Jianxin eventually became Microsoft's third largest shareholder, owning 20% of Microsoft's shares; He was also given a certificate of employment from Microsoft and was hired as an independent director and technical advisor to Microsoft.
His job is to draft a strategic plan for Microsoft's development at the beginning of each year, give a lecture on the future of computing to all Microsoft employees, and attend two regular board meetings......
After the transfer of 20% of Microsoft's shares, Fan Jianxin's registered "Longteng" international trading company account has more than $170,000 left.
He can't let this part of the funds sit idle, and he knows that the Chinese people are currently most eager to own household appliances.
He inspected several home appliance factories in Seattle.
His existing funds were only enough to introduce a production line for black-and-white televisions, a product that would soon be phased out, and he chose to give up. Finally, an electronics factory mainly engaged in the production of tape recorders was contacted, and a letter of intent was signed for an assembly line worth $100,000 to produce tape recorders.
He thought that when he returned to China, he would find an electronics factory to jointly produce tape recorders, or set up an independent factory to produce tape recorders.
He originally wanted to go to the island country to find a factory that produces household appliances to buy an assembly line, but now he doesn't have so much money and energy. Moreover, it is now an overheated period of economic prosperity for island countries, and it is difficult to have the initiative in negotiations.
He remembered that in 85 years, in order to enhance the competitiveness of exports, reduce the fiscal deficit, and improve the imbalance in the balance of payments, the United States signed the famous "Plaza Agreement" with the island countries.
Once this agreement was signed, the economy of the island countries was greatly impacted, the yen appreciated sharply, and the real estate bubble burst, causing the island countries to enter the Great Depression.
At that time, it was time to negotiate business with the people of the island nation.
His Japanese is okay, and daily communication is not a problem. In his previous life, when he was in the English Department of the University, the second foreign language he took was Japanese, otherwise he would not have developed a cohabitation relationship with Tyrol.
This trip to the United States made him very satisfied. Even if his stake in Microsoft is diluted 10 times in the future, he owns 2% of the shares, which is worth more than $300 million based on the market value of Microsoft in later generations.
What worries does he have in his life? ……
On his fingers, Fan Jianxin has been in the United States for a full 12 days.
Return to the heart like an arrow.
Fan Jianxin bought some gifts for his family, his sister was a women's watch, his mother had a gold necklace, his sister was a few electronic school supplies, his father was a few cigarettes, and his grandmother was a few bottles of health care products......
He specially spent more than 2,000 US dollars to buy a low-end Hamilton watch, ready to give it to his father's old company commander Zhai Guangyao.
He wanted to buy a few more watches, but due to customs restrictions and high tariffs, he had no choice but to give up.
If it is said that in the United States, Fan Jianxin really has a good face in his past life that he is worried about. It's the Asian-European half-breed who teaches at Princeton University on the east coast of the United States, Tirol.
He wanted to go to New Jersey to see Tirol, who had lived with him for a while in his previous life. He had been to her home, a beautiful town, or rallying area, near Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, which was full of flowers......
They later broke up, not because of emotional problems, but because Fan Jianxin insisted on returning to China, and Tirol was unwilling to leave the United States.
This exotic love will finally come to an end.
Tyrol's mother is Japanese and wears heavy makeup, and his father is a second-generation immigrant from Austria, but he looks like a cowboy in the western part of the United States. Her physiognomy is a combination of Eurasian strengths, beautiful, black eyes, large and misty......
Fan Jianxin counted on his fingers, when he lived with her, she was 36 years old, and she should be 12 years old this year, and she is in the prime of her life.
It's not that Fan Jianxin has a deep affection for Tirol, and he still can't forget it after a lifetime, but out of curiosity, he wants to see what this little girl looks like now.
However, to go to New Jersey, he had to cross the whole country again, and he had already crossed the North Rice continent from New York to Seattle, a city on the west coast.
Wear it back again, time really can't afford to delay. Moreover, this is 24 years earlier than he went to Trenton in his previous life, will he still be able to find that beautiful town? Or does that town (staging ground) exist in the world now?
Also, is it really necessary to see Tirol?
- A 12-year-old girl.
Fan Jianxin was full of thoughts...... From Redmond to Seattle, this time by bus, the ticket price is more than a dozen dollars.
When he arrived at the airport, he gave up the idea of returning to the east coast of the United States.
"A 'strange' greasy uncle going to see a 'strange' little girl?"
It's ridiculous to think about.
He uses the word "strange" to explain his current relationship with Tyrol, if he really goes to see Tyrol, isn't it a bit of a bad taste? Isn't he a pervert who likes Lori?
This life is not another life, he is just a person in this world with the memories of his past life, why should he be entangled in the various causes and effects of his previous life?
……
At this time, there was no direct flight from Seattle to mainland China, so Fan Jianxin bought a ticket to Hong Kong Island.
"Hong Kong Island? ……”
Fan Jianxin sat on the plane, and always felt that there seemed to be a mind calling to him in the dark. This autumn, the picture of the Asian group football qualifiers for the 23rd Olympic Games came to his mind.
"Hong Kong Island and Macau have gambling activities, why not go and make a profit? ……”
The reason why he had such an idea was because of this football qualifier, and he still remembered some of the endings.
In his previous life, after Fan Jianxin was admitted to a normal university in Linhe Province in 1983, he fell in love with passionate football with a group of enthusiastic students. In his spare time, he often gallops on the green court, sweating, and releasing the youth inspired by strong hormones.
Later, he worshipped Professor Huang Xin to learn sanda and grappling, and met Yao Nana, a beautiful woman from the music department...... He just played less football.
In November of that year, the officials of the student union took out a black and white television set from the student union and put it on the windowsill for the students to watch.
He has watched several live broadcasts of this Asian Cup.
After all, a long time has passed, and he only remembers the final champion and runner-up in this game, as well as the thrilling battle between China and South Korea.
The reason why that game was a thrilling battle was because the Huaxia team was behind Han first. The national team scored 3 goals and miraculously equalized in the second half!
This competition made the college students enthusiastic, and they took out basins and buckets one after another, and beat them vigorously with slippers and sticks, and I don't know how many basins were knocked out......
Let's go there first to find out what I'm looking for, maybe I can make a little money in a few months......
He thought about the stock market on Hong Kong Island again.
This year, the European and American stock markets began to rebound, and the United States stock market opened the first year of the longest bull market, but the Hong Kong Island stock market rose limitedly.
He thought of the famous fall......
In September 1982, Britain's "Iron Lady" prime minister, who is known for her toughness, visited China with the purpose of "exchanging sovereignty for governing power" by taking advantage of the victory in the Battle of Falklands, but she hit a nail.
As he walked out of the meeting place, he fell down in front of the stone steps.
The issue of the return of Hong Kong Island affected the stock market, and it was not until 1984 that the stock market on Hong Kong Island improved, slowly catching up with the pace of the world stock market.
Before that, isn't it a good time to buy Hong Kong stocks?
……
It was the fourteenth day of the first month when Fan Jianxin returned to Weizhou City, so he put down his luggage and hurried to his father's old company commander Zhai Guangyao's house to pay tribute to Zhai Guangyao in his old age.
Zhai Guangyao admired him very much and wanted him to return to the flour mill and promised him the position of assistant to the factory director, but Fan Jianxin smiled and refused.
He told Zhai Guangyao that he would return to the flour mill, but not now...... He thought that one day when the flour mill went bankrupt and liquidated, he would come and buy the flour mill.
Then he rushed to the street garment factory, where he spent the whole afternoon.
The production capacity of this factory is really limited, Tang Ziyi has made a few clothes look good, and it has been almost two months, although the Spring Festival has been delayed for a few days, but this factory has only produced hundreds of woolen "Sachiko" shirts, which is still early for him to customize 10,000 pieces!
There are 10,000 "Sachiko" shirts in the other two fabrics, and neither of them has started construction yet, let alone sewing "Mitsuo" shirts.
The factory director was an old man surnamed Mao, who was nearly sixty years old, acting like a sloth, and held back for a long time before saying that he had no money to buy fabric.
When Fan Jianxin heard this, he really wanted to beat him.
He signed a contract with him according to the rules he said, and gave a full deposit; I also told him that if the deposit was not enough, he could give it again.
But this wilted man, holding back his fart, only squeezed out a trace of stink today.
This factory, customized clothing or OEM clothing, has always been a 10% deposit in advance, and the rest of the payment will be paid when picking up the goods.
The efficiency of the factory has not been good, and the Spring Festival has to give some benefits to the employees, Fan Jianxin paid him a deposit of 3,000 yuan in advance, and he embezzled part of it, which caused no money to enter the fabric.
In addition, he also paid more attention to Fan Jianxin, a little kid, he was afraid that Fan Jianxin would play with it, and if he didn't play, he wouldn't play. If all the clothes produced in the factory are smashed on his hands, his factory will be completely finished.
He deliberately sabotaged his work.
Seeing this, Fan Jianxin threw him $3,000 and asked, "Is it enough?!" ……”
When the director of the factory saw the green flowers, his eyes flashed green, and he couldn't help but promise, "Don't worry, these 10,000 pieces of woolen clothes can be completed in half a month, and 5,000 pieces can be completed in a month, and all of them can be completed in a month." For the 'Sachiko shirt' of other fabrics, and the 'Hiruo shirt' of tweed material, I will arrange for someone to bring in the clothing ...... immediately."
