Chapter 11 Living with Bill Gates
Li Zhetian's three roommates came back very late and told their love affairs as soon as they came back. After listening to it for a while, Li Zhetian went to bed and felt that they were not on the same channel as them.
The next morning, the others were still sleeping, but Li Zhetian had already gotten up. After washing up, he went out alone to get familiar with the environment of Harvard University. At the same time, he also hoped to meet the girl named Chen Ruoxi last night. In fact, Li Zhetian was obsessed with her, and her figure was all in her mind last night! Unfortunately, since that farewell, he has not met her again.
On the third day, the school officially started. In addition to music, literature, history, and economics, Li Zhetian took courses such as mathematics, computer, and electronic engineering!
Nietzsche once said: "Only geniuses and madmen can enjoy loneliness!"
Li Zhetian is a genius and a lunatic. Once he starts studying, he will forget to eat and sleep. In the eyes of others, including his roommates, Li Zhetian is a nerd who doesn’t know how to enjoy college life, participate in social activities, and go to pick up girls.
However, Li Zhetian himself enjoyed this state and enjoyed it. And because of this, although Harvard University in the United States is very talented, he can stand out. Many people have even secretly followed him, and Bill Gates is one of them.
Bill Gates is from the law department, but he also enrolled in math courses. Sometimes, several classes of mathematics classes will be taught in a large classroom. The professor will ask students to answer some math questions in the classroom. Bill Gates' math talent is undoubtedly very strong. However, there are always two people in the class who have better math abilities than him. One is called Steve Ballmer, and the other is Li Zhetian from China!
Steve Ballmer won the top 10 in the United States in high school, received a scholarship from the Harvard Mathematics Department, and scored a full score of 1,600 in the SAT exam of the United States. He is a mathematics genius.
What surprised Bill Gates was that Li Zhetian was a music student, but his math skills were far beyond those of them.
It is said that, "Birds of a feather flock together, and things are divided into groups!"
In less than a month, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and Lee Zhetian quickly got together.
It was a math class on the morning of September 21st. The math professor gave everyone a difficult set of test papers for the exam.
The first Li Zhetian, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, were praised by the professor. The three of them also met and became friends because of this.
Steve Ballmer is an active member of the school, while Lee Zhatian and Bill Gates are even more like-minded and are both otaku.
When Bill Gates learned that Li Zhetian was very interested in computer programming and his skills were not bad, he proposed to move to a dormitory to live with him.
He said to Li Zhetian with an excited look on his face: "Zhetian, you can move here and live together!!!"
When Li Zhetian heard this at first, he got goosebumps all over his body. Brother’s sexual orientation is normal, so he doesn’t make a big deal! However, when he looked back, Bill Gates’ sexual orientation is normal, no problem, he shouldn’t have become bent because of me...
"Okay!" Li Zhetian nodded and agreed. First, he could get closer to Bill Gates, and second, he could not talk to three roommates including Charles Elinor.
Bill Gates has two roommates, and they are all willing to change places with Lee Zhatian. Living with otaku like Bill Gates is not passionate, and living with 3 boys from the music department is much cooler! There are many beauties in the music department, and dormitory parties are often held!
It's simply too happy!
Steve Ballmer learned that Li Zhatian moved to Bill Gates' dormitory, and he moved here.
Except for class, Li Zhetian either stayed in the dormitory or stayed in the computer room of the university. He even slept in it for several nights. So much so that the students who came to class the next day were shocked to find snoring sounds coming from the computer room. Of course, this incident later became a joke on the Harvard campus. And when Li Zhetian became famous, it became an extremely inspiring campus story!
...
Time flies in a blink of an eye.
On October 5, Li Zhaitian received a letter from his parents, which said that after resigning and handing over the work of the newspaper and school, he left Hong Kong on September 4 and heading to Taipei City, Taiwan. His father, Li Chengzhi, took over a small magazine under his uncle's name and planned to serialize "The Devotion of Suspect X" in the magazine on November 1, and his mother, Xiao Zhixuan, also found a job in a local school and became a music teacher in the middle school.
"On November 1st, next month, I don't know what the sales of "Suspect X's Devotion" will be like in Taiwan at that time?" Li Zhetian murmured, a little nervous and a little looking forward to it, but in general, after reading the letter and knowing that his parents had settled there, he felt at ease.
In Taiwan, the magazine that Li Chengzhi took over is called "Life", which has essays, special photos, women's fashion, etc., which belong to a one-month issue. After Li Chengzhi took over, he decided to add a novel column, delete essays, and change the monthly magazine to a weekly magazine. After reading the essays, he read it. People will not expect anything else to come. In short, it is that the user stickiness is not enough!
Magazine Weekly has huge tasks, so content must be prepared in advance, just like a TV station recording several episodes of variety shows in advance!
At this time, Li Zhetian carefully put the letter into the cabinet, then sorted out his clothes and hair in front of the mirror, and prepared to apply for a job at a company later. Li Zhetian had not much money, and the money for selling songs paid for the tuition. His parents gave him $1,000 in living expenses, but he "squandered" him and bought chips, memory, circuit boards and other hardware. In this era, software engineers and hardware engineers have not yet subdivided it. A great engineer must be proficient in both software and hardware, and Li Zhetian could not do this. Needless to say, he had learned computer programming, and his mind was full of knowledge beyond this era, but hardware was his shortcomings. So, he spent a lot of money to buy back research.
If you don’t have money, you can make money by yourself. How can you ask your parents for money? Li Zhetian has no idea of calling his parents for money!
The company Li Zhetian was going to apply for was called American Digital Equipment Company (DEC Company of the United States). On January 5, 1970, DEC finally launched the PDP-11 computer. PDP-11 has a series of computing functions, which are simple to operate, beautiful to look, and have a longer service life than other computers. It quickly became a role model for the small computer industry and at the same time became a model for the design of a generation of small computers. The influence of DEC began to spread to every corner of the industry, all over the world, and finally stood out, breaking through the shadow of this blue giant, surpassing all other opponents, and becoming IBM's number one challenger!
DEC has a branch in Boston, and this company is one of Bill Gates' favorite jobs during his college years because they sent helicopters to Boston Airport to load candidates to the company headquarters. Of course, this incident was learned from Li Zhetian's biography of Bill Gates in his previous life.
