Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 15 The Hateful Obstruction

I don't know how long it took before the elegantly furnished bedroom regained its calm.

The refreshed Tang Huan asked softly, "Why do you feel that you have something on your mind recently, can't you tell me?"

Deng Lijun quietly denied, "What's on your mind?"

Tang Huan moved Deng Lijun's pretty face, with his foreheads touching and his eyes facing each other, "I still don't admit it, I really thought I couldn't see it. Although my aunt is kind to you, but separated by seniority, there are not many common topics, so it is inevitable that I feel lonely in my heart. Let me tell you, it will be even more uncomfortable if you hold it in your heart. Are you homesick, or are you still worried about your uncle's condition? Didn't you say it has stabilized? Are there other problems? "

Deng Lijun sighed, "My family probably won't be able to come to the United States anymore. Apart from being stuck in visa processing, even overseas phone calls are restricted."

Tang Huan frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"The matter of the two of us together, I don't know how it happened. In Xiangjiang and Baodao, it was always mentioned by the newspapers. Some people thought that the influence was not good, so they took these obstructive measures."

"Damn politician." Tang Huan understood what was going on as soon as he heard this. Some people used the red background on his mother's side as a bargaining chip, so he couldn't help cursing angrily.

After being depressed, Tang Huan had to comfort Yiren in his arms, "Don't worry, we are far away from there. No matter how long their hands are, they will not be able to reach here. At worst, our marriage will wait for a while."

"But

..." Deng Lijun hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, everything is up to me." Tang Huan yawned, "I've been too busy recently, especially fighting with the foreign devils at Apple, and I'm exhausted. Let me have a good sleep."

Seeing that Tang Huan fell asleep quickly, Deng Lijun sighed silently and touched her belly with a complicated look on her face.

……

With the vigorous development of Zerone, in addition to company affairs, Tang Huan's social activities have gradually increased, including giving speeches at universities.

According to the arrangement of the public relations company, he chose Berkeley as the first stop.

In order to relieve Deng Lijun, who seemed to be a little worried recently, Tang Huan specially brought her with him when he attended the event.

In fact, Deng Lijun is well-known among the Chinese on the west coast of the United States. She has a lot of social activities after completing English training courses on weekdays, but she is a noble and self-loving woman in her bones. He has obvious upper-class demeanor, but he doesn't bother to use this trait to get around the bustling social circle.

Therefore, unless Tang Huan has free time to accompany him around, Deng Lijun prefers to stay at home and study music. She has become a little obsessed with the subject of modern singing methods of Tang poetry and Song lyrics mentioned by Tang Huan.But Tang Huan, a reborn person, really didn't have much energy to accompany Deng Lijun to ponder music except for the love between men and women.

In order to prevent Teresa Teng from being too lonely, when Celine Dion's family mailed the audio tape of "It's Just a Dream" for advice, Tang Huan simply sent out an invitation for Celine Dion to be accompanied by her family. , came to San Francisco during the summer vacation to gain experience. Anyway, with his current economic situation, there is no pressure to raise a little loli.Moreover, having a girl from a simple background like Celine Dion accompany Deng Lijun makes me feel relieved.

It has to be said that in order to make Celine Dion stand out in music, her family did not miss any chance. After Tang Huan sent out the invitation, they did not pretend at all, and happily agreed.

However, the arrival of Celine Dion will be some time later. Before that, Tang Huan had to try his best to accompany Deng Lijun, so he took Deng Lijun with him during the speech, so that she could experience the relatively simple life on campus. atmosphere.

Although he studied three majors consecutively in more than two years, Tang Huan, the madman, is not well-known in Berkeley, where there are many talented people.

However, after the media advocated that he was going to lead a revolution in office methods through microcomputer office software, and that the company's total sales exceeded [-] million in just three months, it attracted the attention of many students. Come join us.

Tang Huan's speech had two focuses. The first part focused on the office software CGrid and WordEasy, and the second part focused on the macro assembly language MA.

After all, for Tang Huan, this kind of activity is to promote products, and for students, it is to satisfy the curiosity-seeking psychology.

For the so-called alma mater, Tang Huan couldn't come empty-handed. He didn't say anything, and he sent a lot of company products.Fortunately, intellectual products like software are so magical. After the research and development is completed, the cost is just the disks recording the program, which will not cause any pain.

Of course, there are also gifts from the students, but it is mainly MA. After all, in this era, an excellent programming tool suitable for personal use, especially a compiler, is very rare, and the price of many commercial development tools is thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.

"Currently MA supports the CPU architecture of Motorola 6800 series, like that of Apple Computer, and the CPU architecture of Intel 8008 series, like that of Tangdy's TRS-80. If possible, I will make a minicomputer version, but it depends on how everyone responds to this compiler. If you find a bug, please notify me in time." Tang Huan introduced with a smile.

Seeing the students happily receiving the gifts, Deng Lijun next to her asked curiously in a low voice: "What does Bug mean?"

"To put it simply, bugs are loopholes and errors in the program. Speaking of this word, there is a famous allusion..." Tang Huan explained softly.

The origin of the Bug statement can be traced back to the era of the first generation of large-scale computers. Computers during this period were very large in size, and their components contained countless relays. These components would emit a large amount of energy during the operation of the computer. Light and heat will naturally attract some small flying insects.

Once, a female programmer named Grace Hebe who worked for the U.S. Navy set up 17000 relays on the famous Mark II machine for programming, but her work was destroyed by a short circuit caused by a flying into the computer moths.After finding the faulty relay and tweezing out the dead moth inside, she taped it to a record that read "This is the first actual bug found," which translates roughly to "This is the first bug found."Since then, the word Bug has become a common saying in the computer field.

"I didn't expect such a wonderful allusion to be associated with a woman." Hearing this, Deng Lijun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"That Grace Heber is not an ordinary person. She is a doctor of mathematics. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Grace Heber joined the army like many American women and was assigned to Harvard University. A research institute of the university, involved in the first generation of computer-related research projects, is one of the few first-generation female programmers in the world. In the 50s, Grace Heber led an expert team to invent the COBOL language, and then Known as the mother of COBOL, and the COBOL language has been widely used to this day. It can be said that Grace Heber is a legendary figure in the history of computer development."

Deng Lijun repeatedly praised, "It turns out that women can also achieve such high achievements in high technology!"

After all, computers are a highly professional field. There may be many strange and bizarre stories, but not every story must be vivid and interesting. Although Deng Lijun did not say it explicitly, Tang Huan also saw that she was interested in such activities. Not big.

Fortunately, you can also see a lot of Chinese, RB and other Asian faces here, so it won't be so boring. For example, Masayoshi Son and his wife Yumi Ohno came to the speech.

After seeing the situation created by Zerone, Sun Zhengyi was completely convinced and tested Tang Huan's tone to see if the two sides could cooperate. Tang Huan immediately invited him to join the company's board of directors. This made Sun Zhengyi happy but also frightened. .

Seeing this, Tang Huan smiled secretly in his heart, aren't you also very good at this routine of wooing people, it's nothing more than testing people's minds.

After Sun Zhengyi successfully sold the patent of the electronic translator to Sharp, he immediately rewarded the project researchers with 1000 million yen from the contract money as soon as he returned to the United States.Although the exchange rate of the yen was very low at that time, it also showed that Sun Zhengyi had great ambitions.

Son also puts great effort into wooing entrepreneurial partners.He once gave Lu Hongliang an envelope and said, "Do it well."

Lu Hongliang opened it and saw that it contained blank stocks.Although their company has a bright future, its shares are not eligible to be listed. To put it bluntly, Sun Zhengyi gave Lu Hongliang some blank paper.Of course, this is by no means a joke. Sun Zhengyi gave 10% of the company's shares to Lu Hongliang, and then it rose to 20%.Use this to stimulate Lu Hongliang's enthusiasm.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the sooner you start to win over a man like Sun Zhengyi, the better, it is also a preparation for entering the RB market, not to mention that he is still a person who has not been naturalized in RB and has suffered a lot of discrimination. Tang Huan's calculation of gains and losses is accurate.

Taking this opportunity, many students wanted to join Zerone as an intern. Tang Huan expressed his welcome on the spot, and encouraged those students who are qualified to work in the United States to use the summer vacation to sell or represent Zerone's products. He will try his best to Provide convenience.

The speech event worked well, so the speech venue was quickly transferred to Stanford University in Silicon Valley as planned.

But this time Tang Huan did not force Deng Lijun to join in the fun, and Celine Dion, a little girl, accompanied by her brother Michel, came to San Francisco in good time.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and the little loli has become more and more cute, Tang Huan secretly admired.

The Dion family lived in a small town, and they had never been to Montreal a few times. When they came to an international metropolis like San Francisco, the two brothers and sisters were even more at a loss. Let them attend training classes with Deng Lijun in a group, and spend the rest of their time visiting the colorful art activities here to increase their knowledge.

Deng Lijun is indeed very talented in languages, and soon learned some French through the siblings, while Tang Huan recruited a capable person at Stanford University.
