MTL - Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era-Chapter 8 Computer for the first time
"Hello, sir, what do you need?" Li Wansui walked into the computer store, and a middle-aged man approached him and said to him.
Li Wansuijin's computer shop is only about 400 to 500 square feet in size. A foot is the unit of measurement for people in Hong Kong. 1 foot is almost equal to 0.1 square meters. People in Hong Kong often say that a thousand-foot mansion is actually about 100 square meters. Meter.
There are several types of computers in the store. At this time, the computer keyboard is integrated with the monitor, and there is no mouse, and the shapes are not uniform. Li Wansui looked around and found a familiar antique. Goods, the famous apple2, Li Wansui saw the picture of this so-called first real personal computer in human history on the forum, so he recognized it at a glance.
Li Wansui ran towards apple 2, and said as he walked, "Is this the apple 2 computer?"
When the boss heard that Li Wansui directly reported the computer model, he was refreshed and saw a person who knew computers and had a business.
Computers are just emerging now, and there are very few people who know how to do it. Basically, they are only required by large companies and research institutions. A few rich people will buy them back to catch up with the trend, so the boss is very enthusiastic when he sees those who know how to do it, and said: "This computer It is a new product of Apple, the famous apple2, which is popular in the United States and also sells well in Hong Kong. This machine is quite advanced, you can choose to match a floppy disk drive, the cpu frequency is 1mhz, and the standard memory is 4kb, which can be upgraded to 48kb The memory is quite powerful. The CP/M operating system is equipped with word and form processing software. And it is the only computer on the market with a color display. The game function is also very powerful, and it can produce sound.”
When Li Wansui heard the boss mention that the performance is quite strong, he almost didn't laugh.
In the future, any computer is a multi-core CPU. The single-core performance of the CPU is 3GHz, 1000mhz=1ghz, and the memory must be at least 4g. You must know that 1g=1024m=1024kb.
Comparing the two, the difference in performance is at least a hundred thousand times, which cannot be whispered on the same day, but Li Wansui still listened carefully to the boss's introduction.
Looking at the most advanced electronic equipment in this era, Li Wansui couldn't wait to turn it on and experience what the cp/m operating system was, but he still asked the boss, "Can I turn it on and experience it?".
"Okay, please change, sir." After obtaining the boss's consent, Li Wansui turned on the computer, and then said almost to the boss, "What do you call the boss, don't call me sir, my name is Li Wansui, just add me A Sui." .
"My name is Tang Shi, if A Sui doesn't mind, just call me Brother Tang."
Li Wansui asked again, "Is there an operating manual for the computer?"
In this era, computers are new things, and there must be detailed operation manuals. After all, if you teach people to use them, more people will buy them, and manufacturers will make money.
Boss Tang turned around and took out an all-English book, and handed it to Li Wansui, saying, "Ah Sui, just ask me if you don't understand anything. Although I'm also a beginner, I can still do basic operations."
"Okay, Brother Tang, go to work first." Li Wansui couldn't wait to open the computer's operating instructions.
Li Wansui flips through the pages very quickly, and only pays attention to every bold and blacked out command in the book. As a programmer, he is not that kind of novice. He has been using the command line in his previous life. A must-have for senior programmers.
After looking at it for a while, he felt a little emotional. No wonder it was said in his previous life that Microsoft copied cp/m on a large scale and launched dos. The two functions are basically the same, but the specific commands have changed.
Li Wansui's dangling heart was relieved at once, and the job is promising. While comparing the books, he actually fought on the machine.
During this period, Boss Tang walked behind Li Wansui many times and stopped to watch. He saw that although Li Wansui was a little slow in inputting commands, he was only unskilled in remembering commands, and there was absolutely no problem with using them.
Li Wansui directly boarded the plane until noon, until Boss Tang shouted: "A Sui, don't be busy for now, let's go to the restaurant next to us and have lunch together. Let's test the plane in the afternoon."
Li Wansui raised his hand and looked at the time. At 12:15, he smiled and said to Boss Tang, "If you disturb Brother Tang this morning, I will invite Brother Tang to dinner."
Boss Tang didn't refuse, and said directly: "Computers are all new things now, and my business here is not very good. With Ah Sui with you, it's not so boring."
"The development of computers is very rapid, and it will definitely enter thousands of households in the future. My brother first wishes Boss Tang a lot of money." After he finished speaking, Li Wansui started to blow water, saying that the development of the computer industry in later generations was reasonable and well-documented, to prove that Boss Tang would definitely make a fortune in the future.
A few words made Boss Tang's heart elated, and then he felt like seeing each other late.
The two chatted and laughed and came to the roast meat shop next to them. Boss Tang chose to eat nearby because the shop was nearby.
Li Wansui ordered a roast goose, a Chinese sausage, a barbecued pork, and two vegetarian dishes.
at the dinner table.
Li Wansui thought for a few days that he would come to someone else's store to learn about computers, but it wouldn't be very good to fool Boss Tang all day long just by looking at it, so he said directly, "Brother Tang, to be honest, my younger brother is preparing for an interview recently. Computer-related work, I have been familiar with computers recently, and I took the liberty to come to your store to disturb me. If it is convenient, my brother is willing to give Tang brother 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I implore Tang brother to let my brother use the computer for 6 days."
Li Wansui felt that he didn't owe favors if he didn't owe favors, especially if he was not very familiar with Boss Tang, so he directly expressed his willingness to pay for the plane.
1,000 yuan is not a lot. The minimum allocation price of the Apple model just now was about 1000 Hong Kong dollars. Li Wansui spent a few days to give 1,000 yuan to him. He thinks it is reasonable.
"Ah Sui, you're out, right? If you call me Brother Tang, then I'll take the appearance of being a brother, and since you use a computer, you are a potential customer of mine. You will have to use it sooner or later in the business of making computers. Your own computer, you will always buy my computer sooner or later. Besides, you will be in the computer circle in the future, and you will definitely know your peers. When the drizzle comes down, I recommend recommending a friend to buy a computer from Brother Tang, or consider it when the company purchases computers on a large scale. Thinking about Brother Tang, can Brother Tang still ask you for the 1,000 yuan? Just invite Brother Tang to dinner."
Boss Tang is a businessman, and he has an advanced vision. Being able to open a computer store is enough to prove Boss Tang's vision.
Li Wansui sighed inwardly, this Boss Tang is worthy of being a scene man, and what he said is beautiful and upright. First, he said that the two have become brothers and sisters, and then he pointed out that Li Wansui can remember the friendship of using the computer for free. , I will recommend him a business in the future, and finally said that I don’t want any money. Today’s meal is enough, and I don’t want anything else.
"Doing things well, not greedy for petty profits, you can make friends." Li Wansui commented on Boss Tang in his heart, and got up and said, "Brother Tang, remember this kindness, brother is not an ungrateful person, and he will have strength in the future. It will definitely be a generous reward, with tea instead of wine, and a cup of toast to Brother Tang.".
Boss Tang quickly got up, picked up the teacup and touched it lightly in the air, and the two dried up the tea.
Sitting down, Boss Tang pursed his lips and said, "Qing tea is tasteless. In the evening, my brother will be the host. Please invite Ah Sui to have a drink."
Li Wansui readily responded.
After the two finished eating, they returned to the store, and Li Wansui continued his learning journey.
At about 6 o'clock in the evening, Tang Shi invited Li Wansui to a nearby food stall, and Tang Shi was the host.
Tang Shi led the way and led Li Wansui to a food stall called "Qiangji". The business was booming, with many customers coming in and out, and it was basically full.
"Don't look at the simple decoration of this store, it tastes pretty good, and it's also famous. I guarantee you, Ah Sui, will cheer you up." Tang Shi introduced to Li Wansui.
"Haha, Brother Tang, my little brother's mouth is very open. It's ordinary and delicious, but I can't be a little brother. It's good to call this mouth!" Li Wansui teased.
"Ah Sui, my brother also has a good mouth. He boasted that he has eaten all over the Xiangjiang River, but he only likes this strong memory." Tang Shi also followed.
Li Wansui said: "Brother, what you said, my younger brother is really looking forward to it. If you can convince Brother Tang, you are a Xiangjiang old tyrant, your younger brother needs to see and experience."
While the two were talking, the waiter came over, Tang Shi ordered 6 bottles of beer, and ordered Guilin fried sausages, razor clams in soy sauce, **** chicken, fried bones, tofu and fish slippery soup.
The two of them ate and drank, and they had enough food and drink. One person drank 3 bottles of beer. The two made an appointment to see each other tomorrow. They said goodbye to each other after about 8 o'clock.
Li Wansui was holding two books borrowed from Brother Qiang, one was the computer operation manual he read in the morning, and the other was a book explaining the basic language.
Suddenly I remembered that when I parted with Zhong Chuhong in the morning, Zhong Chuhong said that he would wait for him to eat together, and he promised to be home before 9 o'clock, and he would also give a topic to his younger brother and sister.
After reading the table below at 8:15, I didn't have to wait for the bus, so I quickly took a taxi home. If the silly sister Zhong Chuhong really waited for Li Wansui to go back to eat at home, she would not be ashamed.
8:50pm. Li Wansui has arrived home.
When he entered the door, he saw Zhong Chuhong walking downstairs in a hurry, and seeing Li Wansui coming back, Zhong Chuhong's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Sui, you are back, you haven't eaten yet, the food is still hot." He came to meet Li Wansui. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
She just heard the movement downstairs, so she got up and went downstairs to see if Li Wansui was back. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but when she heard some trouble, she hoped that Li Wansui came home.
Seeing Zhong Chuhong, Li Wansui's eyes were wide-eyed, and her gentle and virtuous appearance also swayed in her heart, and said, "Well, I'm a little busy today, thank you for your hard work, Hong, waiting for me with hot food so late."
After speaking, he took Zhong Chuhong's two small hands, pulled them up, and then asked, "Ah Hong, have you eaten?".
Zhong Chuhong was held by Li Wansui's little hand, her cheeks were flushed, and when she heard Li Wansui ask him if he had eaten or not, she suddenly remembered that the two of them said in the morning that they would wait for Li Wansui to come home for dinner, and secretly spat at herself, feeling a little bit. Too unreserved, he twisted and broke free from Li Wansui's big hand, and whispered, "Brother Sui, go upstairs to eat." After saying that, he twisted upstairs.
Li Wansui also followed.
Zhong's mother and Zhong's father were not seen in the house. Li Wansui probably went out for a walk after dinner.
Zhong Chuhong's younger brothers and sisters were still reading, and when they saw Li Wansui coming back, they all said hello, and the second sister Zhong Chuxue said, "Brother Sui, let's eat quickly, my sister has been hot many times. After dinner, I still have questions for you. .".
"Okay, no problem, ask me if you have any questions, or if you haven't fully grasped it, don't be embarrassed, just treat Brother Sui as your own brother." Li Wansui listened to Zhong Chuxue's words. Knowing that Zhong Chuhong has been cooking meals, she is very happy in her heart. She feels that the day when the beautiful woman will fall in love is not far away, and she has to perform well.
Zhong's house is very compact, with two bedrooms, one is the bedroom of Zhong's mother and Zhong's father, and the other is where the four siblings sleep. The living room is very small, serving as both a study and a place to eat.
