Great Power

"Zheng, your previous tone made me very uncomfortable—"

Looking at the three catties of Australian lobster laid down in front of him, Bruno smelled the scent drifting from the tip of his nose, but expressed his dissatisfaction on his mouth. He felt that this kind of words made himself offended: "Are you ordering us? "

"Thank you~"

Thanks to the waiter who put down the steak in front of him, Zheng Jianguo picked up the knife and fork without touching the red wine on it.

Zheng Jianguo turned his head and looked at Bruno until he watched the waiters leave. After holding down the steak with a fork, he said while cutting with a knife, "You didn't say anything that made me uncomfortable, but Even the company moved to Silicon Valley on the West Coast without notifying me.

In the end, it was because you remembered that you were going to hold an annual meeting, and people notified me. Bruno, I asked you, do you think these things you do make me comfortable?"

"Well, Zheng, I was thinking about telling you."

Watching Zheng Jianguo put the cut beef into his mouth and slowly chewed, Bruno nodded with eyes with long eyelashes, then pointed at Bob next to him and said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Bao Bao Bo."

"I don't need to ask him, Bruno, I am a very good talker, just like since you appeared in front of me, I have agreed to any of your requests, including the previous three catties of Australian lobster you wanted to eat—"

Zheng Jianguo cut a piece of beef again and put it into his mouth to eat. With the knife in his hand, he pointed to the lobster with its teeth and claws on the plate in front of Bruno, and then continued without waiting for the other person to speak: "Maybe this gives you some kind of illusion that I'm good to talk. Well, I don’t emphasize this kind of expression that is beyond your ability to understand. I just ask you, how do you feel about the idea of ​​this project and game magazine I brought?"

"I feel good. I can play with the Magic Cube at any time. There is also a community magazine for players. This is something I never dreamed of--"

Bruno blinked his eyes and spoke quickly. As he said, if you can put the magic cube in your pocket, just like the GameWatch on the table, it will definitely detonate the enthusiasm of countless players: "Now I want to try This game console—"

"Zheng, we may have ignored your feelings before--"

As Bruno’s voice fell, Bob quickly continued. Compared with the four unintelligible programmers, he is the one in this small group who has passed the IQ and EQ. He immediately analyzed. Out of current Zheng Jianguo's purpose: "The main reason is that we have too few contacts. We should hold regular meetings in the future. How about once a month?"

"This can be considered. Now I want to discuss the company's next focus. Let's start with this magic cube and develop our own game console. You don't want to always rely on Atari's console to develop games, right?"

Zheng Jianguo nodded his head and gave Bruno a step. Of course, the movements on his hand did not stop. As he cut a piece of cattle again and put it into his mouth, he raised his knife and said, "You eat, don't just look at—"

"Okay, okay, let's eat."

Bob picked up the knife and pulled apart the seemingly intact lobster. He poke a piece of shrimp with a fork and dipped it in the seasoning, put it in his mouth and ate it loudly.

Bruno looked at his movements, and then ate the shrimp in front of him. For a while, there was only a burst of chirps left on the table. Finally, Bob said, "If you continue to invest, Alan plans to be in Silicon Valley. To buy a house and get married, Larica wants to buy a big diamond ring for his girlfriend. I think Zheng, you can increase the shareholding ratio—"

"Well, I think so too."

Sweeping the faces of the five people, Zheng Jianguo said that he had finally finalized the purpose of this meeting. He didn't want to follow his gaze on Bob's face for a while. He looked at the other's flickering eyes and suddenly realized what this person was thinking. , Then continued to speak: "As for the increase in my shareholding ratio, Bob will still be in charge of the administration and the CEO in the company. Bruno will be the chief technology officer and CTO of this handheld project?"

"This, I may not be able to, Alan has better technology than me, and his code programming is the fastest—"

Bruno immediately shook his head and said that he did not need this position. When Zheng Jianguo glanced at him with double-looking idiot eyes, he did not expect that Larica next to him would also say: "Yes, Alan has the best technique among us. , This CTO should belong to Alan, and he is responsible for modifying the programs we wrote separately—"

"But this and a CTO are not just about managing technology, they also need certain communication skills—"

Zheng Jianguo had to say his purpose again. The reason why he asked Bruno to serve as the technical officer was because this guy would directly express his dissatisfaction instead of hiding it in his heart like others.

Although this situation makes Zheng Jianguo a little embarrassed, considering that he will not, and it is impossible to send someone to manage the company, he can quickly know the ideas of these partners and subordinates, which will help him make quick processing decisions: "Considering that you sent him out to talk to me, it shows that you believe in his ability."

"OK then--"

Bruno nodded again, reluctantly responded, then put down the knife and fork in his hand and touched the thin project book next to it, looked at the exterior design inside and the internal structure exploded diagram given later, and finally looked at Looking at the GameWatch on the table, a stunned expression appeared on his face: "This magic cube handheld is just an improvement made by zooming in on this GameWatch?"

"Yes, the size of the display is twice that of the GameWatch. It is rectangular because it involves the game mode falling from the top, and the number of five buttons on the sides and bottom of the GameWatch has also increased a bit. Overall, it is still out of the picture. In the design of GameWatch——"

Zheng Jianguo also looked at the GameWatch, which he hadn’t played several times on the table. He bought it specifically for this meeting. The US$34.9 hurt him, but he remembered why he always had to give a magic cube handheld. This money still has to be spent: "It's just that compared to GameWatch with button batteries, Magic Cube needs to use AAA batteries on the market to increase the battery life of the game, but have you ever thought about network problems?"

"The problem on the network? The phone line?"

There was no time to eat the shrimp meat on the knife. Alan quickly raised his head and said, Zheng Jianguo nodded and said, "Last time I saw a report on TV that a minor child used computer technology to invade. The mainframe computer of the Defense Center, his programming skills should be good, right? Alan?"

"Well, Kevin, I know him, he is great, and so young—"

Alan quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Zheng Jianguo and said with excitement: "We all know him, but the network problem is not our strong point—"

"Then if I invite him to work in the company, how do you feel?"

To achieve the most important goal, Zheng Jianguo started to talk about the next topic non-stop. Computer security is still a brand new field. As the first Kevin arrested because of this in the world, he is an expert in computer security. .

The Internet is unlikely to be a hot spot in ten years, so he can start at this time when everyone does not understand: "His computer technology should be possible, right?"

"Of course it's good, I've long wanted to see this Kevin—"

Alan, who was still immersed in the exchange of ideas, nodded. Bob has already entered the role of CEO in advance: "Zheng, what do you invite him to do? And, he seems to be a minor—"

"Minors can also work, plus he is now more than 17 years old, he must be given a programming position, you will not be jealous?"

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zheng Jianguo’s tone was also much easier. Compared with Kevin Yeluzi, who dropped out of school and was born at home, these are all from Zhenger Bajing University. The reason why he put it at this time said , I am afraid that a few people will look down on Kevin: "Presumably he will also be happy to learn from you."

"Zheng, if possible, I would like to have an interview before you invite him. How do you feel?"

Before Zheng Jianguo's words were over, Bob quickly opened his mouth to answer the question, and the eyes of the other four people on the table were forgotten. The former smiled and didn't think too much: "You are the CEO of the company. Of course it is your job. For the interview, I just made a suggestion. Just go to his house when you go back, and I won’t go there."

"No problem, we also have the idea of ​​relaxation this time."

Only when Bob opened his mouth, Bruno rushed in front of him and said. The former couldn’t help but smile at Zheng Jianguo’s gaze, nodded and said: “Yes, we came out this time and also have the idea of ​​relaxing. After all, we haven’t rested for a while. It's—"

"The last time I relaxed was after Christmas, when the arcade project of Magic Cube was completed—"

Alan smiled and took the conversation. After sweeping his eyes on Zheng Jianguo's face, he continued to speak, "Zheng, I heard that you and Camille are good friends?"

"Camille Shields? Good relationship."

Zheng Jianguo glanced at Alan in surprise. He didn't expect this person to mention Camille. He just remembered that these programmers are almost like the otaku in memory. They usually program at home or at the company, and all they can touch Plane girl.

Just when this thought flashed in Zheng Jianguo's mind, as if to confirm his thoughts, Alan's reddish eyes flickered a few times and said, "Um, Zheng, can you help me get an autographed photo? "

"Of course it's okay, but it takes time—"

Thinking of the coming June, Camille’s movie flashed through Zheng Jianguo’s mind, the first World Digestive System and Helicobacter Pylori Symposium, and of course the most important thing is the short oil contract, so he felt his own business. Still quite a few: "How about her movie next month after it is released?"

"As long as you can help me to come, I can wait as long as—"

Alan flushed and smiled, Zheng Jianguo flashed a feeling of deja vu, Ye Zhenkai’s cheeks appeared in front of him. When he was doing pathogenic research in Qicheng Hospital, this guy said he liked Jin Ayan. There is a deep appreciation of the other party’s thoughts both inside and outside the words, but it is a pity that Jin Ayan failed to win the best actress of the third Hundred Flowers Awards——

On May 23, 1980, the Republic Film Association held the Hundred Flowers Award ceremony, which was interrupted for 17 years. Of course, at this time, the report was said to be the awarding ceremony. The "Little Flower" filmed in the first year became the conference in one fell swoop. The biggest winner won four awards for best feature film, best actress, best photography, and best music out of 14 awards.

The reason why this is so clear is because the American entertainment channel reported on the news situation, so on the last day of May 1980, when Zheng Jianguo said goodbye to Ye Zhenkai at the Boston Airport, he said a few words in particular: "Jin Ayan failed to win the Hundred Flowers Award, so remember to write a letter to comfort her after returning home."

"You guy—"

Ye Zhenkai's complexion suddenly changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Cai Dingxiang next to him. The latter, Ye Jianyi and Qiao Yuzhen beside him couldn't help glaring at him. Ye Zhenkai shrank his neck and snorted: "Which pot do you open or mention which pot? People won the Golden Rooster Award, not the audience award—"

"Art comes from life, and what is loved by people is the highest achievement of art."

Hearing this ironic statement, Zheng Jianguo said it with a smile, then looked at Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei, and said in a relaxed tone: "Father, mother, when I go back, remember to rest at home for two days before going to work. I won't get on the plane. You guys."

"You have to take care of yourself here, and you don't go out unless you go to work. It's too messy here—"

After living in the United States for almost 20 days, Du Xiaomei remembered the car accidents and shootings, and of course the explosives that were almost injured: "It's not ours, but don't ask for it--"

"Okay, mother!"

Zheng Jianguo looked at Xiaomei Du as if to be sad, and after that, he looked at Ye Jianyi next to him: "Uncle Ye, auntie, after you go back, let Zhenkai and Dingxiang learn some English. I heard that this year's college entrance examination English scores are based on a percentage system. It counts in the total score—"

"Zhenkai, Dingxiang, did you two hear it? You have to learn English when you go back."

Qiao Yuzhen’s goose egg face showed joy and said, but Ye Jianyi lifted his chin at Zheng Jianguo: "Jianguo, you are right, but you should tell my father, now this guy has hardened wings and he can't help but—"

"Hehe, the teacher, I said that he told me to score the actual scores in the college entrance examination."

Zheng Jianguo said a few words with a smile, and then chatted a few more words, and he came to Fan Ping and Fan Ying, his eyes were swept across Kou Bin’s face, and he put out his hand and said: "Brother Bin, I will just do what you say. Not much to say, my sister is much better than me—"

"Ha ha--"

With a smirk of posterior molars on their faces, Kou Bin and Zheng Jianguo shook their hands and said, "He who knows me, Jianguo also~"

"You see you are lame."

Subconsciously said something, Zheng Donghua instantly realized that there were two elders, Fan Ying and Fan Ping, beside her, and quickly changed her words: "Our school is about to be off. I plan to stay in China for a period of time after returning to China. Don't worry, my parents. Right."

"Well, that's best."

Zheng Jianguo nodded at Kou Yang and Roland, his eyes stopped on the faces of Fan Ying and Fan Ping, and smiled: "Two Aunts Fan, I did not accompany you after you came. ——"
