Chapter two hundred and twentieth plague to death

“Ifyoustartmeup,Ifyoustartmeup,I’llneverstop…”

The Rolling Stones is one of the most outstanding bands in music history, one of the most important bands in pop history, one of the most influential bands in rock history, one of the best performers in live performances, and one of the most successful and longest-lived bands in rock history.

Their appearance has always been accompanied by flowers, applause, screams and attention, but today the protagonists on the scene are not their singing, and even the appearance of the Rolling Stones can only be called embellishment.

After singing the song "StartMeUp", the atmosphere in the Raymond University sports field rose to its highest level. Countless audiences wearing blue shirts and black pants stood up and waved their arms.

On the super large screen behind the Rolling Stones, a huge "Start" button fell from the sky. The band members smiled and waved their hands, leaving the stage from the right. Today's protagonist is about to take the stage, even if it does not have human legs.

On August 24, 1995, this is a moment when computer history will be recorded with great color. Windows 95 system, this great product was finally released by Microsoft!

In any case, Microsoft's Windows 95 is a cross-age product. Before it, there was never any software that could make computers so approachable. The unique window system made technology no longer just a specialty for a few people, but truly entered people's lives.

Excellent multimedia features, humanized operations, and beautiful interfaces are not the appearance that computers should have for people in 1995, but a pioneering revolution.

Microsoft's two founders, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, wore a blue short-sleeved shirt and white pants uniform, walked onto the stage with a proud look on their faces. They are qualified to be proud. Microsoft will establish its dominance in the software industry for at least twenty years, and no one will ever challenge Microsoft in the field of operating systems or even software.

"Windows95 is indeed a good software, and Microsoft's technology is really eye-opening." Pang Zhou held the armrest of the chair, stretched his neck and looked at the stage desperately.

Although Zhou Shuo was not interested in the old Windows 95, he was still patiently waiting for the legendary moment to arrive. According to the legend of the Jianghu, at the press conference of Windows 95, there was a picture that was not circulated...

"I'm very happy to bring you this epoch-making product today..."

Bill Gates talked freely on the stage, and the people below were excited to hear it. The various characteristics of Windows 95 painted a picture of futuristic technology for people. You should know that even the special effects of Hollywood movies had never had such an idea.

When the famous science fiction movie Alien was released, humans were still using CRT monitors in the aerospace era. Turning to the prequel Prometheus, they became very tall and powerful, and the real scientific and technological workers will always be the ones who created history.

Bill Gates kept introducing the various functions of Windows 95, and Zhou Shuo took out a handheld camera in the audience. What happened next, to apply the future Internet buzzword, is "the image that Bill Gates wants to delete most in his life."

I saw Bill constantly operating the computer on the stage, talking endlessly. Then suddenly, Windows 95 turned blue! It was blue! Windows 95 is worthy of being the pioneer of the Windows series. At this moment, it is not a system! It is the embodiment of the long-standing inheritance of Microsoft's system! How could a system that did not crash at the press conference be a Microsoft product!

Zhou Shuogao held up the camera and laughed with everyone in the audience. Instead, people cheered and clapped, for this rare moment. Windows is also called "World to death". What is Windows?

Bill was not panicked, but generously admitted that the system still had imperfections. However, he changed his subject and introduced the one-click recovery program that comes with Windows 95, which was enough to solve most of these problems. It was precisely because of this special situation that he took advantage of the Ghost software, which is not very useful on DOS, to the public as a considerate design.

Despite such an episode, the release of Windows was still successful. This global broadcast product launch conference is enough to be regarded as a grand event of technology, and has triggered overwhelming reports from countless media outlets.

This year, people stayed up late in the rain and waited for Windows 95 instead of iPhone. This year, Jobs, who was swept out by Apple, made movies in Hollywood, and Yahoo was still a loser's web directory. Larry Page and his Google have not yet entered history, and Zuckerberg, who later founded Facebook, had just entered junior high school.

This is an era that belongs to Microsoft, Windows, and Bill Gates.

One of the most eye-catching features in Windows 95 is the Sky Solidragon game that comes with Windows, which was replaced by Lianzhong Chess and Cards client. Liuer IM is a substitute for MSN and has been deeply implanted into the Windows 95 system.

Just kidding, Bill paid 5% of Microsoft's shares for Liuer IM. If he only spent money, he wouldn't mind killing his competitors. But one of the big benefits of cross-holding is that the acquired party can ensure the treatment of a "own son".

Even if the MSN project is successful, its share in the Microsoft empire is probably only 5%. For Bill, Liuer IM is more of an entry point to enter the Internet market. Historically, his understanding of the IM software market itself is insufficient. After all, Microsoft is Microsoft, and Penguin is Penguin. The market environment in the United States is different from that in China.

Zhou Shuo carefully saved the video tape and returned to Seattle with satisfaction. Since Netscape was successfully listed, he has gained a lot of money. Not only has he expanded the Northern Dynasties Computer Company again, but he also bought an independent property next to Lake Washington as the main base in North America.

Most of the newly added servers of Liuer Software Company are located here, and the developers and marketing departments of Lianzhong Chess and Cards are also set up here. Zhou Shuo specially selected this place with a lake view villa. A large lawn also comes with a small dock. It is too capitalist and corrupt...

In addition to Zhou Shuo’s own residence, the villas here are also provided to all Chinese engineers. They are not only the main force in various program development, but also serve as a bridge for the US market and domestic technical support, which means they will work in the United States for a long time. In addition to Lianzhong Chess and Cards, Liuer Software and other Internet companies cooperate with various website projects, they still need to keep following up.

It can be imagined that this will be a very long-term job. In this case, it is very unprofitable to live in a hotel. Although it seems that Lianzhong Chess and Cards have good profitability and have already transferred millions of value-added business expenses to Liuer Network Communications in half a month, it is a little bit after all. Every dollar you get back to China can be divided into 8.6 portions.

Li Zhi, who came to the United States for the first time, seems to like this kind of life very much. Of course, after hearing the price of this villa, he also complained that Zhou Shuo was spending money randomly.

Listening to numbers alone may not feel anything. After converting these numbers into how many villas can you buy, Li Zhi has an intuitive understanding of the wealth that Zhou Shuo has. Although she is not the kind of woman who cares about money, which woman would not like her own man as a rich man?

Zhou Shuo still has to worry about influence in China, so he has become much more low-key. Even though Fanhan Group itself is a very large organization, the improvement of living conditions for him and the people around him is still limited. At most, he only eats whatever he wants and receives more respect when going out. Compared with the luxury enjoyment of Americans, it is really a witch.

It was cloudy and drizzling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, and the thin clouds spread half of the sunshine. The wet lawn looked even more green and bright, and the hazy rain scene in the distance enveloped the lake, like a dreamy fairyland.

Zhou Shuo left the company's operations without caring about it, and this month he was very happy. Although there was always news about competitors coming to his ears, he was indifferent. Even the actions built into Windows 95 in Lianzhong Chess and Cards were the result of Yu Qiong's communication with Microsoft on his own.

But this does not mean that he really lets him go without paying attention to the entire company. After returning from Microsoft's press conference, Zhou Shuo and Li Zhi had just gotten tired of each other, and news of the visitor's visit came from outside.

The electronic door of the villa was opened remotely, and a Ford car drove in slowly outside the door. Zhou Shuo and Li Zhi stood at the door of the villa and greeted each other. A woman who looked over 40 years old walked out of the car.

"Ms. Zhu Liwen, I'm so lucky to meet you!" Zhou Shuo braved the rain and walked forward a few steps forward.

"You are Mr. Zhou Shuo, I have been famous for a long time!" Zhu Liwen grabbed Zhou Shuo's hand and shook it hard.

"Please come into the house quickly. It's wet outside, but it's not good for your health." Zhou Shuo laughed and led Zhu Liwen under the eaves and pointed at Li Zhi and introduced: "This is my girlfriend Li Zhi, she doesn't know much about English."
