Rebirth of the Tech Madman

　　 Christina was choosing the jewellery she was going to wear, and she asked seriously, "Does Don't like the gift I chose for him?"

　　 "Of course it's impossible. It's a private jet worth tens of millions of dollars. No one in this world can refuse this sincerity."

　　 Fanning who was standing by the side replied affirmatively, "However, the oriental people always like to keep a low profile. They call this practice muffled to make a fortune. After a long time, Tang will get used to your acting style, Miss."

"Tang will not covet anything from me. Even if it is necessary, it will be exchanged for the same amount, such as the loan." Christina shook her head, "but this time I will remain patient. By the way, the opposition in the family Why is the sound suddenly lost so much?"

"They learned about Tang's situation and found that Zheru's sales exceeded 90 million U.S. dollars less than a year after its establishment, becoming the number one in the field. They felt that Tang Shi was a genius with unlimited future. Marriage can find a new industry direction and avoid the risk of declining shipping business." Fanning hesitated, but chose to tell the truth.

　　 Christina snorted dissatisfiedly, "Do they think I made the right choice this time, but unfortunately, their starting point is profit."

　　 "Miss is satisfied by herself, don't bother with them." Fan Ning saw that his master was a little unhappy, and quickly comforted.

　　 "I can't tell you the magic of Tang, and those guys who only have money in their eyes won't understand it." Christina sighed uninterestedly.

　　 "No matter what, I'm the only one looking forward to Miss Ma's head." The housekeeper confessed faithfully.

　　 The master and servant were talking about Tang Huan, and the servant came to report that the guest had arrived.

　　 Christina beamed her eyebrows and quickly got up to greet her.

　　Since he was soaked by Sister Fu, Tang Huan had to dress up deliberately before coming. To put it bluntly, he was also unavoidable, and he was very proud of his man’s charm.

　　 Although I didn't intend to profit from Christina at all, the process of being pursued was so face-saving that even Tang Huan couldn't refuse this sense of accomplishment.

　　 The values ​​of human beings are amazing. They are all beautiful women, but if you add talents, wealth, or birth to a halo, then their status will be vastly different.

　　 Christina, a beauty with huge wealth, will naturally give men a great desire to conquer.

　　 But Tang Huan was complacent and didn't forget his principles. Brother would not be inferior to others.

　　 After sitting down, Christina took out a bunch of photos like a treasure, "This is what the plane looks like. I have asked professionals to modify it. See if you have any suggestions."

Tang Huan was not hypocritical, read it carefully, nodded, "I have to say, I like your gift very much. But if I take it, I will return the cost to you as soon as possible. I didn't use the woman's money. habit."

　　 Christina refused to accept the words, and smiled and sent out an invitation, "In January next year, my fleet will be docked in Florida for a period of time. Why don't we visit it. The scene is spectacular. Men should all like the majestic atmosphere."

　　 "Florida?" Tang Huan asked in surprise, "It's a coincidence, I just wanted to go to this place not long ago."

　　 "I thought of being together, that would be even better." Christina hugged Tang Huan Meng with excitement.

　　 This foreign girl is getting hotter and hotter. Tang Huan couldn't help smiling bitterly when he remembered that when the two had just met, Christina was like a queen.

When the other party's emotions calmed down, Tang Huan said, "In this case, I will directly ask you to help and prepare a set of the most advanced diving equipment for me. If you can find someone who is proficient in diving or fishing, then It's better."

　　 Christina blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "My dear, you are not going to go hunting for treasure."

"Isn't this game fun?" Tang Huan smiled. He really planned it this way. Who made the treasure hunter in the previous life successfully describe the whole experience in the media so clearly, now that he remembered it, There is no reason to miss it.

　　 "My dear, you are always so creative. This is a good idea, and I agree with it." Christina's eyes flashed with excitement.

　　 "At that time, maybe there will be a surprise." Tang Huan said meaningfully, got up and walked to the restaurant. Christina's carefully prepared dinner has been set, and he will naturally not miss the king's enjoyment.

　　……

　　 Palo Alto Research Center, or PARC, is an important research institution established by Xerox in 1970. It is located in Palo Alto in the Silicon Valley region. Therefore, the team of Tang Huan and Jobs drove very leisurely.

　　 Tang Huan was sitting in the car, thinking to himself what key points should be paid attention to when visiting.

Many modern computer technologies were born from PARC, and its creative research and development results include: personal computer XeroxAlto, laser printer, mouse, Ethernet, graphical user interface, Smalltalk, page description language Interpress, the pioneer of PostScript, icons, drop-down menus, all See-is-what-you-get text editors, voice compression technology, etc., are countless.

　　 These research and development results did not bring too much dazzling benefits to Xerox, but became evidence of being regretted or ridiculed by people in the future.

However, in Tang Huan’s view, Xerox, who makes wedding dresses for others, may not be so stupid. He can only blame the geniuses in the laboratory for the technology and products that are too advanced, too much beyond the age, and it takes a long time to digest. complete.

　　 In addition, these individual scientists lack the execution ability and can't turn their amazing and brilliant ideas into low-priced and practical products. It is strange not to be picked by others.

　　 There is no doubt that the staff of PARC did not welcome such mighty and uninvited guests Tang Huan and Steve Jobs, otherwise they would not be delayed until now.

　　 Entering a conference room, Tang Huan met two persons in charge of a man and a woman, Larry Tesler and Adele Goldberg who were ordered to show. The former had a proud and excited smile, while the latter was the opposite, with a sullen face and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

　　 Tang Huan took a look at Tesler. This person is an expert in graphical user interface. He will switch to Apple next year. He should not set obstacles to the display. Goldberg is hard to say.

　　 There are several computers on the display stand. It is the personal computer XeroxAlto or "Otto" developed by PARC in 1973. They are personal computers in the true sense. They have a monitor and keyboard, and even are equipped with a three-button mouse.

　　 Tang Huan quickly discovered that these people did tricks during the presentation, and only showed them a limited number of applications, the most important of which was a word processing program.

　　Under the DOS environment, it does not mean that you have no ability to make programs with a graphical interface. The development environment of the famous TurboC2.0 in the past is a good example.

　　Zheru’s CGrid and WordEasy have achieved this effect now. If they support the mouse, they are much better than PARC’s word processing program.

　　 However, Tang Huan is still watching patiently, carefully finding out what is worth learning from it, and also whispering a few words with Simeone who has worked here from time to time.

　　 Jobs finally got impatient. He yelled rudely: "Don't talk about this shit! You guys are so geeky, don’t you know that our spreadsheets and word processing programs are better than yours?"

　　 Jobs’ sudden explosion shocked several people in PARC. They gathered together and discussed in a low voice, so Tesler showed the programming language Smalltalk.

　　 Not to mention, it does involve some important dry goods, such as how object-oriented programming works and how computers are connected to each other.

　　 Tang Huan can’t help but admire it, no wonder Smalltalk is recognized as the second object-oriented programming language in history and the first true integrated development environment IDE.

In the past life, programming languages ​​such as C++, C#, Objective-C, Actor, Java, Ruby, etc., all benefited from Smalltalk, and even software development ideas such as design patterns, agile programming, and code refactoring in the 1990s also Learned a lot from Smalltalk.

　　Before, Tang Huan had sorted out PARC's technical articles and sent them to philosophers and Apple engineers. So many people realized the extraordinary features of Smalltalk and asked questions one after another, which made the scene very lively.

　　 Jobs naturally didn't understand these technical issues. He only knew that after tossing for a long time, he still didn't see what he wanted.

　　 "Does PARC have that so-called graphical user interface?" Jobs walked over and asked in a low voice in confusion.

　　 "There must be." Tang Huan nodded firmly, "However, these people are deliberately hiding and refuse to show it."

　　 Speaking of this, Tang Huan sighed unwillingly, "It seems that this time I'm going to make a trip for nothing, and I don't know if there is a chance for a second visit."

　　 Tang Huan’s disguised aggressive method really drew Jobs’s small flames.

　　 Jobs was angry, and he angrily gave an ultimatum, "Since you always deal with us, then I can only go to the Xerox headquarters in Connecticut."

　　 After finishing talking, Jobs grabbed the phone and dialed it.

　　 Tang Huan applauded secretly, at the critical moment, it was Steve Jobs.

In fact, the memory collection of hundreds of elites in Tang Huan's mind is far more abundant than the technology of PARC, but Tang Huan is still very keen to visit, first of all, to satisfy the curiosity psychology, and second, to further determine the current computer technology by personally understanding PARC. The highest level of PARC has reached the point, and in the end, it is natural to dig the corner of PARC. The talents here are all treasures.

As for the graphical user interface, Tang Huan thinks it’s better to let Steve Jobs toss it in one step. MAC was only introduced to the market in 1984, which shows the degree of difficulty. With these time, he can do more important things, not for a graphic. The user interface was paranoid ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Jobs finally succeeded, and Xerox headquarters again issued a notice of the show.

　　 Seeing that this was the result, one of the display leaders, Adele Goldberg, left the scene angrily.

　　 The other person in charge, Larry Tesler, was not affected much, and continued to demonstrate in person, finally unveiling the PARC graphical user interface.

　　Bitmap display, icons, pop-up menus, overlapping windows, scroll bars, control by mouse click actions...

　　 Seeing these basic elements of the graphical user interface and the results displayed, all the people who came to visit except Tang Huan were shocked.

　　 Atkinson stared at the screen, carefully checking every pixel.

　　 Jobs waved his arms in excitement, jumping around, exclaiming, asking questions, and even repeatedly saying, "You are sitting on a gold mine. I can't believe that Xerox didn't make good use of this technology."

　　 Hearing Jobs's comment like this, Tang Huan shook his head secretly. After you spend four years building a MAC computer, you will know how difficult it is to implement a graphical user interface.

　　 Looking at the light shining in Jobs' eyes, Tang Huan remembered that this guy once quoted Picasso's famous saying "The great artist steals inspiration" to characterize this technical plagiarism.

　　Well, shopping malls are like battlefields, everything is for the final victory, there is no need to worry about whether the means are fair or not.

　　It is my business to deal with IBM's chess plan, and I cannot sympathize with the loser here.
