Chapter 227 Accompanying Orphans for the Holidays (Fourth Change)
The rise of Apple is unstoppable!

And Microsoft's Windows 1.0 window operating system is also very popular. Although it is not as popular as the CD-Walkman, after all, the number of people using personal computers is not so large.

IBM suddenly felt that it was not wise to cancel the cooperation with Microsoft. It should secretly develop a stronger IBM operating system before kicking Microsoft away.

"Mr. Cary," said an IBM director, "Windows 1.0 is a big hit. I'm afraid there will be more companies supporting Microsoft. In addition, users are accustomed to using Microsoft's operating system. The relationship between companies is extremely important.”

"You mean, you want IBM to compromise with Microsoft, or even admit defeat!" Frank Cary's expression darkened.

"Mr. Cary, this is just a stopgap measure." The director went on to say, "The market share of IBM's operating system and the number of third-party software are far inferior to Microsoft's operating system, and I am afraid it will be difficult to keep pace with Windows 1.0. Zero competition! Mr. Cary, I think you can also see that if IBM-PC does not use Microsoft's operating system, the sales of IBM-PC will drop sharply. At that time, the board of directors will definitely have opinions on you!"

So far, almost all computer manufacturers pay more attention to hardware, because the profit of hardware is much higher than that of software, and IBM is no exception.

Frank Cary hesitated immediately after hearing his words.

"Let's have a look again, and make a decision after Microsoft's sales data comes out today!" Frank Cary said after thinking for a while.

"Well, that's fine too!"

……

On Christmas Day, Li Zetian's family first went to Kronos Hospital to deliver Christmas gifts to the inpatients here.

For Li Zetian's arrival, these patients were very surprised and even more moved.

Li Zetian greeted them with care and caring, just like a great philanthropist.

It's true that Li Zetian's actions could not be done without hype, but when he arrived at the hospital and saw so many patients suffering from diseases, he was still deeply moved.

No matter what the purpose of charity is, as long as it can help people, the more the better.

Xiao Youran didn't go to the hospital, the environment of the hospital was not suitable for her.

Next went to the LY Orphanage in Los Angeles, and this time Li Zetian took her with him.

When she came to the orphanage, Xiao Youran saw many children and seemed very happy, but she didn't know that these orphans lost their mother's love and father's love since they were young, and some of them were even disabled.They were very happy to see Li Zetian's family came and brought them Christmas gifts.

Although these children are young, they are very sensible. They know that Li Zetian and his wife established the orphanage, provided them with food, clothes, went to school, and even paid for their medical treatment.

They are a group of people who know how to be grateful, and Li Zetian understands this just from their eyes.

Xiao Youran had a great time playing, and every brother and sister here took good care of her.

Standing beside Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu watched Xiao Youran playing with other children, and could not help but whisper to Li Zetian: "Compared to Xiao Youran, the children here are so pitiful... It is said that children are the darlings of their parents. How can parents have the heart to abandon their children?!"

Li Zetian was silent for a moment, he was also an abandoned baby abandoned by his parents in his previous life.

However, Li Zetian was still very strong, and he survived.

"Maybe there are unavoidable difficulties..." Li Zetian put his arms around Yu Jingqiu and comforted him. In fact, these words are also comforting himself. Sometimes he hates his parents very much and hates them for abandoning him; I miss my parents very much, and always give them thousands of reasons, saying that they have unavoidable difficulties. Thinking about it this way, Li Zetian feels much better.

Yu Jingqiu nodded and said nothing.

As the sun sets, the last ray of twilight shines on the orphanage, as if it is covered with a golden coat.

Li Zetian's family was in the orphanage and had dinner with everyone.

This is of great significance to the children in the orphanage, and it is also a beautiful memory worth cherishing for Li Zetian.

After dinner, the children in the orphanage began to perform their talents, some sang, some danced. It was very lively. Even Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu sang a few songs.

At around 9:[-] p.m., Li Zetian's family was about to leave the orphanage.

When they left, the children reluctantly sent Li Zetian and the others to the door.

"Go back, we will come to see you in the future!" Li Zetian waved to them.

"Mr. Li, goodbye!!!"

"Mrs. Li and Xiao Youran, goodbye!!!"

The children bid farewell with tears. In this freezing Christmas, because of them, they are extra warm!
On the way home, Li Zetian hugged Xiao Youran and asked, "Did you have fun today?"

"Fun!"

"But the brothers and sisters in the orphanage don't have parents..."

"Daddy, why don't they have parents?" Xiao Youran looked up at Li Zetian with her puzzled little head up.

"Because their parents don't want them anymore."

Xiao Youran immediately cried, "Daddy, you can't let Xiao Youran go!" Xiao Youran's two small hands immediately grabbed Li Zetian tightly.

"Daddy loves you forever, why don't you want Xiao Youran? Well, be good, Youran, don't cry~"

Li Zetian coaxed Xiao Youran for a long time, and finally made Xiao Youran stop crying.At this time, she might be tired from crying, or from playing today, and fell asleep in Li Zetian's arms.

After returning home, Li Zetian carefully carried Xiao Youran to the bed.

"Jingqiu, I'm tired today too. You should take a shower and sleep first. Apple and Microsoft are releasing products today. I want to inquire about the sales situation."

"Well, then don't stay up too late, it's bad for your health!"

"okay, got it."

Li Zetian smiled, then came to the study and turned on the heater.

There is also a bathroom in the study. Li Zetian took a hot bath, wrapped himself in a towel, and walked out.

First, he poured himself a stroke of Lafite red wine, then walked to the table and sat down, and finally picked up the phone to talk to Jobs and Bill Gates respectively.Although he didn't go to the flagship store to watch it today, the business should be very hot in the future.

Li Zetian is looking forward to the answers from Jobs and Bill Gates...
