Chapter 40 Poaching
"Uh, that's right." Zhou Shuo was stunned by Professor Zhao's question.
"That's not making software for Americans? Can they use our Chinese software?" Professor Zhao looked at Zhou Shuo incredibly.
Alas, the Chinese in this era do not lack wisdom or perseverance, but they do not lack confidence.
Zhou Shuo had to take out the statement signed by James and said: "This is a statement signed by Mr. James, the manager of Microsoft's China Office, who personally signed it. My software has indeed been booked by Microsoft."
Professor Zhao snatched the statement, scanned it, and said excitedly: "Take out your software quickly, I want to see what kind of software can be sold to Microsoft."
Zhou Shuo took out the notebook from his bag, asked for a network cable to connect it to the computer. Then he turned on the machine and ran the software.
"This is an enterprise management software, but some of it has not been completed. I came to Beijing this time mainly to test the Internet access effect."
Professor Zhao and a group of researchers surrounded Zhou Shuo's side, and their heads gathered together to squeeze into a flower. Seeing him operating the computer, he started to talk about it in a chattering manner.
Professor Zhao nodded while looking and said, "No wonder you are so familiar with Catalyst1200. This software also uses the server/client data exchange mode? You can find out the program without a device, and the young man has a future!"
Zhou Shuo entered the account number and password in the dialing interface, and soon a sharp and harsh sound of "Ga, Ga, squeak-cry!" sounded in the computer room. Hearing this sound, he couldn't help but miss it. This unpleasant sound that seemed like a donkey was the first sound made by a modem dialing up online. It was extremely, very, very unpleasant. When he heard this sound for the first time, Zhou Shuo couldn't stand it.
But in the end, it turns out that humans are really a conditioned reflex animal. After a few years, when you hear this sound again, it is so pleasant and the most beautiful music in the world is this. Why? Because once this sound passes, there is a colorful and broad online world waiting for him to explore. Being able to connect with such beautiful things, any bad noise can surpass fairy music.
Zhou Shuo was operating the computer and said, "Professor Zhao, I may continue to test for a few days. During this period, I will pay for accommodation, equipment usage fees and Internet access fees. Do you think how much I need to pay?"
Professor Zhao glared and said with a sigh: "Hey, what's the money? Young man, I mobilize the researchers in the institute to accompany you to test it. What if you keep this network communication program?"
Zhou Shuo said without thinking: "It's okay to stay on the program, but the money still has to be paid. Now our Internet fee is not cheap, right? I can't take advantage of the country!"
Professor Zhao patted his shoulder and his beard flew up with a smile: "Young man, you have a good sense of enlightenment!"
The Institute of 173 is the first research institute in China to access the Internet, and its equipment level is similar to that in the United States. Zhou Shuo received the support of Professor Zhao, and almost all food, drink, and she was in the computer room. The researchers in the institute heard that some people could sell software to the United States, and were very interested. Under Professor Zhao's mobilization, they were willing to come to help when there was no research work.
Zhou Shuo, who stayed up late almost every day, had red eyes like a rabbit, had a long beard that could be combed into a small braid, and had a messy hair like a bird's nest. He finally completed the testing and adjustment of network communication programs. Although it was just a seemingly simple network communication function, there was no ready-made communication program module to call at this time. From the lowest protocol to the implementable applications, all of them had to be built from scratch, involving tens of thousands of programs and hundreds of thousands of letters. All possible situations must be tested continuously, and the possible errors must be found in the source code like the sea...
Just think about Netscape Browser, it is just a network communication software that can view pictures and text. For a browser, network communication function is both the most important and the least conspicuous.
There is always a generation of programmers who start from the bottom, overcome all obstacles and work hard, and finally grow excellent fruits such as Tencent, Baidu, Taobao, and Thunder in the end.
"Shhh, let him sleep for a while, let's see the program!"
Professor Zhao directed the man to move Zhou Shuo, who was sleeping heavily, from the front of the computer, and called out a monitoring program to start viewing the network communication program. A group of people tiptoed behind him and watched his operations.
"The processing speed is so fast! See how much memory is used?"
"It's only 40K? How did this be done!"
"Shh, whisper - look here, this data is not transferred through the server!"
"No wonder the server-side programs can occupy so little resources. The server only needs to store the network logical topology diagram. This idea is good. Peer-to-peer networks can reduce the communication burden of the server, and can also conduct point-to-point instant communication and resource sharing."
The researchers discussed it all over the place for a long time, and the more they looked, the more they felt that the program was really useful. Its scalability and transplantability were very good. Professor Zhao even had several good ideas to apply it.
Zhou Shuo slept so hard that the sky was dark. It was already a day later when he woke up. The August Heat gradually faded. Seeing that the school was about to start in September, Zhou Shuo hurriedly said goodbye.
"Hey? You're going to leave now? Stay there for two more days, just two days, will it be done?"
Professor Zhao pulled Zhou Shuo's clothes and refused to let him go, and even used the means of making trouble and beating him.
Zhou Shuo said helplessly, "My school in Xiucheng is about to start. I, the principal, can't I not go back, right?"
"But we haven't understood your program thoroughly yet!" Professor Zhao said heartbrokenly: "Some places are just annotations. Without your solution, we still can't understand them. It's so embarrassing!"
This is not surprising at all. Zhou Shuo uses mature technologies in many places. Their programming ideas have not even appeared, and it is a ghost that can be understood.
Zhou Shuo spread his hands and said, "How about this, let Shao Shiming and I go back to Xiucheng with me. When he and I understand the program clearly, it will be the same if he comes back to teach you the rest of you!"
Professor Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Shao Shiming's software room had no business for a long time. He was idle except for reading foreign journals. He was idle. He was not much more in the institute, but he was not much less. Even if he was on a business trip, it would have no impact on the 173 Institute.
He nodded and said happily: "No problem, I will let him go back with you now, when will I learn it and when will I come back!"
Zhou Shuo laughed in his heart. Shao Shiming's family was a small cadre and he attached great importance to the national staffing. Otherwise, he would not have put a lot of good jobs in society, but he came to work in a research institute where he could not even eat enough.
It would be great to keep his organization in this way and be able to pry people away. When he learns the program well, I don’t believe it. He will go back to the 173rd Institute to spend the 8 to 5th day, drinking tea and reading newspapers!
Professor Zhao called Shao Shiming over and explained Zhou Shuo's ideas, and he received his full support. In the research institute in the early 1990s, there was neither the atmosphere of research nor the ability to study. He was only twenty-four years old and had no desire to slowly rot and wither here. With such an opportunity to escape from the wolf's mouth with both worlds, he immediately agreed and prepared to set off more actively than Zhou Shuo.
With Professor Zhao's farewell, the two boarded the train and returned to Xiucheng. At this time, school was about to start, and Zhou Shuo was working hard to get off the train and went into the intense preparations for the start of school.
Shao Shiming was taken to the school computer room by him and suddenly breathed in.
"Zhou'er, you're so big! I'm afraid you won't have 200,000 to 300,000 yuan?"
Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "It's less than 200,000 yuan, which helped Dell solve some small problems."
Shao Shiming looked at him differently, raised his thumbs up and said, "Oh, Microsoft, Dell, your contact level is high enough!"
Zhou Shuo punched him as a chest and said embarrassingly: "Okay, poor, you! I have to start school these days, and Teacher Liang, the former administrator of the computer room, is also busy. I'm sorry, please help me see how it will be like for two days?"
Shao Shiming's eyes shone and he said excitedly: "Don't say I'm going to manage so many computers, I'm willing to let me live here!"
After settling down Shao Shiming, Zhou Shuo found Liu Guifang again, opened the door and asked, "Sister Liu, do you know a clothing factory with good credit here?"
Liu Guifang, who was busy, looked up and was stunned and asked, "Is the principal trying to change the school uniform? Is this not good..."
Zhou Shuo found a chair himself, sat opposite her, and sighed: "The style of our school uniform is too ugly. Moreover, Section Chief Bai, who is in the logistics department, responded more than once, and the quality was not good. The students didn't like to wear it very much. I think it would be better to change it."
"But, now this clothing factory was introduced by the leaders of the Education Bureau. There are still a lot of inventory in stock. Would it be a bit inappropriate to replace it?"
Zhou Shuo waved his hand and frowned and said, "Switch, replace them all! Forget it if there is no one in the Education Bureau. If someone asks it, let them come to me! Not only will the replacement, the current second and third grade students don't have to pay any more money, and give one for free. If the stock of old school uniforms can be sold, they can be donated. School uniforms are the face of the school, and only if the students wear good clothes can be developed!"
"Okay, I'll find a few more clothing factories and let them come up with a design as soon as possible."
Zhou Shuo nodded, stood up and said, "You can discuss with Section Chief Bai, and strive to get things done as soon as possible in the two days before school starts. Make the supplier set and the school uniform can count the student data after school starts."
Chapter completed!
