"That girl last night, you didn't even take her away? Didn't I tell you the location of the nearest hotel? Or I'll go sleep outside and leave the dorm room to you. Jason rubbed his drunken and somewhat sore head, got up from his bed, looked at Tommy, who also didn't talk to a successful girl, and spoke.

Tommy closed the 120-page manual of the Electric Pencil document processing software and looked at Jason: "I thought what I said was cool, that girl would be attracted to me, but unexpectedly, she decided to leave me after hearing that I just wanted to talk to her in bed when I was free." ”

"You think that girl is a call girl?" Jason's eyes widened, and his fingers twitched around his temples, "Dude, are you sure you're a primate?" Have you ever asked your father what else you might have evolved and then picked up and raised by him, but you looked like a human on the outside? You don't talk about feelings with your sister, you just want to mate with her? How could any woman agree! ”

"Then when you accosted those girls last night, your real reaction was to talk about feelings or go to bed?"

“…… Go to bed, but at least be gentlemanly on the surface, and don't act like you like a jerk. ”

"That's called hypocrisy, and I call it honesty." Tommy smiled and said to Jason, "Last night wasn't a no-brainer, SSD last night, the guy named Eric, said we could visit them later on Friday night, and he will arrange more time to talk to us then, I think, the two of us should have got an interview invitation in advance." ”

"That's great news, buddy! If we can join the SSD, we will have no shortage of girls, the SSD maintains friendly relations with the three sororities, and my cousin has not been able to join the SSD. When Jason heard Tommy's words, he finally regained his vitality and an excited expression appeared on his face.

After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, and completely sobering up, Jason noticed a pile of open software packaging piled up on Tommy's desk, and twenty or thirty manuals of different thicknesses comparable to a dictionary: "What are these?" ”

"All kinds of commercial software, before you wake up, I was scolding them like crazy, and after I paid for all the software, I still need to take out the money separately to buy their manuals." Tommy scolded in pain: "And there is no discount for fucking student purchases." ”

These software are very expensive, such as several office software under MicroPort, the most expensive is $495, the cheapest is also $145, and they are all prices without user manuals, if you need to be equipped with user manuals, then the price of each user manual may range from 15 to 40 US dollars.

"The real major in computer science starts in your sophomore year, and the first year I think it was all regular courses, linear algebra, calculus, political science, and so on, and you're ready to teach yourself now? Don't do that, Boss, we had a lot of fun last night......" Jason thought Tommy was going to take a computer science course in advance, frowned and said, "If you insist on starting to teach yourself like a boring nerd, it's easy to lose my simple and honest roommate." ”

"Of course I remember, Ye Ye Sheng, but Ye Ye Sheng Song needs money, Jason, we have to find a way to make some money, you drive a Lotus sports car to invite a girl, and you ride your own bicycle to invite a girl, and the reply you get is completely different, I didn't study myself in advance, I just ...... Yes, I just started to teach myself, but I promise, I won't miss the party. Tommy picked up his cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said to his roommate.

He really didn't plan to turn himself into a coder now, it's too early to talk about ideas or knock code for program development, in Stanford University or the whole Silicon Valley, the most important thing is all kinds of ideas, almost every sophomore, junior, senior computer science student, just get together two or three friends, in a few days can write a cool software out, but there are not many students who really make money.

Here, it's not that you can make millions of dollars by staying up late to write a set of software, there are indeed many Stanford alumni in Silicon Valley who are willing to bring up their juniors, but they are also calm and rational capitalists, and they will not really take money out to invest because you write a software that seems to be likely to make money, support you to seize the market, more often you feel that your software has some potential, so simply pay a small amount of money to buy it out, whether it is a profit or a loss, it has nothing to do with you in the future.

Just like Microsoft bought all the copyrights of MS-DOS and only paid 75,000 yuan to the developer, but it made an unknown number of times by licensing it to more than 70 computer manufacturers, which is the real situation for most software developers in Silicon Valley, countless people around the world use their own systems, but only remember Microsoft's name.

What's more, the standards of the PC market are not yet completely unified, which is why Tommy wants to buy five PCs, he is just a traverser, but not an all-knowing and all-powerful God, and many times he needs to complete the preliminary market analysis alone, complete the relevant research, and make sure that his idea has enough commercial value, and can talk to people about investment rather than simply betting on the market when buying out at a low price, and then consider the least challenging follow-up development work.

He's not a programmer who loves code, he's just a poor guy who wants to make money with software.

"So what's your arrangement for today? It's better to relate to women. Jason looked at Tommy.

Tommy nodded and smiled at Jason, "It's really related to the lady, I'm going to work part-time at the technical support and help center of the library after class, the management teacher there is a lady, that is, a little older, about thirty years old, and I noticed that she wears a wedding ring." ”

"You know that if you make up some stories that can make people hard, you can easily make new money, right? And then go to that kind of place to work part-time? The pay is pitiful, you can't make a loud noise, you can't even scold a fool when you meet him? How big of a pair of waves did that teacher have to make you make this decision? Jason looked at Tommy like a monster, wondering why he was going to a library like that to work part-time, some idiot had endless questions to ask and annoy people to the point of exploding loudly.

Tommy smiled and asked Jason, "So you're not going to work part-time?" Continue to practice your five fingers in the dormitory? ”

Jason shrugged: "No, I'm going to work part-time at that Spanish restaurant in Love's apartment, there is a very beautiful girl there who works part-time, and she can enjoy the unsold food for free, and the food in that restaurant is delicious." ”

Generally speaking, college students are willing to find part-time jobs as long as they are not really wealthy, so that they can support themselves and exercise their various social skills, and they will not only be left with the topic of showing off their bed skills when chatting with girls.

And the reason why Tommy went to the library part-time is that the work in the library needs to use a computer, which allows him to exercise his computer operation ability when he works, and now operating a computer is not as simple as in 2022, it can be solved with a few clicks on the touch screen or mouse, and most people who master the use of a commercial software can basically get a white-collar job in a large company, but don't think that it is easy to master the use of a software, after all, the thickness of the software manual is comparable to a dictionary, It needs to be sold as a professional book on its own.

"If there were no beautiful girls there, only delicious food, would you go to a part-time job?" Tommy got up from the bed, smiled at Jason and stretched out his fist, "See you in the evening, stallion brother who likes beautiful girls." ”

Jason bumped fists with Tommy: "I refuse to answer this philosophical question because I'm not a philosophy major, see you in the evening, and I like the cowherd brothers of middle-aged and elderly women." ”
