Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 279 Buying Ownership of QDOS
September, for the natural ecological circle called "campus", is like the coming of spring.Crop after crop of fresh little leeks popped up ignorantly.

Mei Lisi, who had just entered the high school, took Chen Shuzhen's arm and walked into the hall of the teaching building bouncing around.In a group of twittering voices, I introduced my new partner to my former friends
Carter, who saw this scene, was naturally not idle, grabbed Kazim who was passing innocently, and directly ordered:
"Did you see the girl next to my sister? That's my sister too. Say hello to your brothers and help take care of her! If this girl is wronged in Elmond"

Carter's eyes turned maliciously on Kazim.With an expression of "you weigh it yourself", the big villain's style is well controlled.

"Understood! Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away!"

The little brother Kazim patted his chest very politely:

"Actually, I know it even if you don't tell me. When their family moved here, the news spread. Knowing that her father is your friend, who is so rude to provoke her?"

"As long as you have a lot of things to do, just let you do it! By the way, what are your plans for the second half of the year? Preparing for AP courses or vocational courses?"

After hitting a stick, Carter immediately continued with a sweet date.

Historical experience tells Carter that it is unacceptable to want the horse to run without feeding the horse!

"What kind of AP courses do I have for a family like me? I'll find a job after graduation. Do you have any suggestions? I'll do it with you then!"

"Then your high school education is probably a bit low. Well, when it comes time to choose a career direction, you will go in the direction of secretarial and administrative drivers. After graduation, you will be a soldier for a few years, and come back to be a driver for me. By the way, you will be a secretary. Bodyguard. How is it?"

As a personal driver, Carter doesn't trust outsiders with this kind of person who really controls his whereabouts.At any rate, Kazim can be regarded as a tool man that he has caught since his infancy. This kind of position that does not require much technical content but is relatively easy to do bad things is perfect for him!
And as far as I am concerned, as the business is getting bigger and bigger, the demand for full-time drivers has gradually surfaced
"Okay! No problem, but my brother can't be like me in the future, he is smart! He has a future!"

As the so-called children of the poor headed home early, Kazim knew his fate very well.If you don't hug Carter's thigh, then he will have to take to the streets after graduation
If you can have a stable life, who would want to pin their head on the waistband of their trousers, making people hate dogs?
"Okay! Then you have to do a good job. I will sponsor your brother's college expenses, so you don't have to worry about it!"

After negotiating a small exchange of benefits, Mei Lisi and Chen Shuzhen were no longer in the hall.In fact, with Melis accompanying the other party, there is a high probability that there will be no problems.

So, go upstairs!Attend class!
The stable and ordinary study career started again. Except for the occasional feeling of slight pressure for the turnover of funds between several projects, Carter was no different from ordinary students.

Classes, meals, get out of class, bank, homework cycle.After a cycle of about half a month, day after day, Paul wrote
"We obtained the first-class QDOS commercial authorization at a price of 1.5 US dollars. In addition, we need to pay them [-] US dollars for each license QDOS to a new company."

"Why not just buy it? I said, don't worry about the money!"

After hearing the name of QDOS in Carter's ears, Carter only felt very familiar.It seems that before Windows, there was an operating system called DOS
Could it be this thing? !
"By the way, what is the full name of this QDOS?"

"Quick and Dirty Operating System, don't mind the name, that Patterson guy, right? Can you expect us science and engineering nerds to come up with a good name? But this system is really good, with a high degree of completion!"

Quick and Dirty OS? !
Carter raised his brows, this name is really not flattering
"I ran to *** continuously for a week, and his general idea is very similar to cp/m. In other words, Patterson wrote this qdos command function according to the cp/m operation manual. After we got it, You can use it instead of cp/m with only a small amount of modification, in fact, you don’t need to do much modification, just use it directly!”

"Then why don't you buy it directly?!"

The somewhat familiar name in the memory of the previous life, coupled with this extremely high market adaptability.Carter is almost certain that this is the right product!
"Mr. Sams also suggested that we buy it directly, but Bill is unwilling to spend too much on this. I also think that I can't ask you to borrow money anymore. You have helped us a lot, brother!"

"Ten thousand dollars, we can still get it out now. And what we got is the full copyright authorization, that is to say, we also have the right to sell this system to the outside world, but for large transactions, we still need to pay the *** It’s just a relatively high copyright fee. For example, for IBM’s order, if we provide dos to IBM, then we need to give scp an additional [-]!”

"This is twenty-five thousand dollars, which is not a lot! Dude, it's really unnecessary! Although I can't talk about being rich now, the hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of funds are not difficult for me. You don't need to save me this money! Moreover, if you do this, you may pay more in the future."

This is really, absolutely!

While Carter was speechless and helpless, he found that he was really unable to understand the brain circuits of people like Microsoft, including IBM's software development director Sams.

According to Paul, Microsoft told the other party that there is now such a small company that happens to have an operating software that is very suitable for IBM.

As a result, the other party was unwilling to buy it directly, but pushed it to Microsoft, let Microsoft buy it, and Microsoft is not willing to buy it now. Wait! !Since none of them are willing to buy it, what about yourself?

"Forget it, how about it, Paul, please give me Mr. Bullock's phone number, I'll buy it!"

Grab the ownership of dos in advance, and when Bill Gates regrets it in the future, he will sell it at a higher price.
Suck!

"No, no, no, no, no, no, brother! Don't do this, we can solve it with a small cost. As for the future, we will talk about it in the future. At least the cost is the smallest if we do this now. You really don't have to pay us any more. We're just getting better now, and we don't want to be in debt anymore."

"Stop, stop! Don't be moved by yourself. I'm just personally optimistic about this product, and it has nothing to do with Microsoft. I bought it with my own money, and the ownership is also mine!"

"But, what are you planning?! You don't have a computer company under your umbrella, and this is not a general-purpose software. It is only tailored for the 8086 chip, and its commercial prospects are very narrow!"

"Don't worry about it, just think that I want to covet the [-] yuan licensing fee. That's fine, don't worry about it, I'll do it myself."
