Chapter 819 Ending 1983
The visit of the CCA trio can only be said to be a small matter for Carter today.

Carter is very sure that with the temperament of a politician like Scully, it is definitely impossible to accept the so-called "government across the river" he proposed.Then, cooperation is inevitable!
Even after three days, Carter did not wait for Sculley's call, and Carter was not in a hurry.

Unlike Bush's call, the slower the call, the greater the conflict and quarrel among the CCA trio, which is a good thing for Carter.

The time came to Thanksgiving in [-], and after Thanksgiving, the year also entered the countdown.

For Microsoft, the first generation of Windows operating system appeared earlier than in history under the flapping of Carter's butterfly wings.Just the finished product.
The familiar blue sky, white clouds and green grass did not appear!
The first generation of Windows is more like adding a cursor that can be controlled with a mouse to the original command-based operation interface.Then a part of the operation instructions are integrated on the mouse buttons, that's all.

Honestly, not much has changed!Carter is not satisfied with the finished product!

However, facing Carter's questioning, Gates directly sprayed back not to be outdone:

"Have you ever thought about making the pattern you mentioned, and there are still changes, how much computing power will be consumed by the CPU?! How much memory is needed?! This 1.5m operating system is already the mainstream hardware capable of today. The limit of support is over!"

Hearing this kind of words from Gates who once threatened that "no computer needs more than 64KB", what else can Carter say besides a wry smile?

Indeed, the storage size of today's mainstream IBM PC is really only 5MB.An operating system occupies 1.5Mb, which has really reached the limit that hardware can support today!

As for the tens of mb hard drives of Fujitsu, they are not supported by ordinary computers!
With the product manager sent by Infuses, I took the time to fly to Seattle.After coordinating and testing the compatibility between the Indian foundry software and Windows 1.0, Carter left another suggestion:
"Don't care about the size of the space occupied, continue to move towards the real GUI on the basis of Windows 1.0!"

then
within two days
"Carter!! Get those Indians out!"

"Those codes are just...sprinkle cat food on the keyboard, my cats can write better than them!"

"Others have bugs in their codes, they have codes in their bugs!!"

"Can't run, can't run at all! I suspect that they are not programming based on DOS at all."

From Gates to Newell, a group of early Microsoft programmers called Carter almost one by one.Expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Carter's greed for cheap and finding Indian OEM software
Even Paul, who had just been discharged from the hospital, called and seemed to want to persuade Carter to "do not save the money that should be spent".
In this regard, Carter naturally forwarded their call to Inphesus
It is impossible to produce by yourself, how expensive are Microsoft programmers!

As for the matchmaking between the two sides, or in other words, the mouth-to-mouth war, they have done it themselves!
Carter turned his head and cast his gaze on the electronics factory in Coffey County.With the cooperation of dozens of electronic engineers, the trial production of the motherboard has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

Now the software is basically done, only running-in is left, and motherboard models of different specifications have a certain reserve.As long as the chemical plant in China is put into operation and a large number of plastic plates arrive at the Port of Savannah, the mass production of ROG computers can begin!
Meanwhile, New York, Fifth Avenue!

A shop next to the atrium on the first floor of the Red Hat Building has also started renovations.The huge Prodigal Eye logo was hung on the store door early on, and even hung on the exterior wall glass on the first floor of the Red Hat Building.
Red Hood was so angry that he jumped up and down, saying that this bastard, Carter, ruined the overall beauty of the building!

But when Carter was in New York and saw passers-by on Fifth Avenue, they all stopped at the sharp eyes and talked with each other, guessing what the store was selling.
It is impossible to dismantle it!

At most, it was a compromise, and the logo hanging on the outer wall was transferred to the inside of the glass outer wall.Pedestrians outside can still see the blood-red pupils when passing Fifth Avenue.
At the same time, United Entertainment in West Haven has been under construction for nearly half a year.At least around the Giant Panda House, you can clearly see the appearance of the amusement park. The track of the roller coaster slides over the Giant Panda House and goes straight into the bamboo forest park behind the Giant Panda House; a Ferris wheel also stands quietly in the giant panda house. Next door to the panda house.

Yingying and Meimei also returned to New Haven after staying in the Douglas Panda House for half a year.And this time, Carter didn't keep a low profile!

The high-profile bear convoy slid along the main roads in New Haven for a full circle before sending the two big babies to their permanent homes in the future.
This move once again made people almost forget that the citizens of New Haven and the giant pandas were very lively for a while!
The aftertaste of being stuck in Thanksgiving has not yet subsided, and Christmas is approaching the emotional GC period. The pre-sale tickets for the New Haven Wildlife Park after Christmas, which opened at the same time, sold out quickly.
The financial report of the SR-166 expressway, which has been open to traffic for nearly a year, was also sent to Carter's desk.Of course, there is nothing to see in this part, and the first year. I can't even get it back!

The returns barely matched the interest on those huge, government-guaranteed loans.Starting next year, Carter will start paying off his debts.
For a 20-year loan with a principal of hundreds of millions of dollars, even if the interest is offset, the principal still needs to be repaid at $500 million.This is not counting the money raised from other financing channels.
There is also a 79 million interbank loan in 600, which is more than 1000 million less than the principal with interest.It is only a rough estimate, and the scale of the debt that Carter needs to repay next year is no less than 3000 million US dollars.
But fortunately, with the development of Douglas, Douglas's real estate industry has also shown a thriving trend.Even if Kane of DOG Construction is a chicken farmer with no financial sense, he knows at this time that building houses can make money!

Because Douglas is rich, it can carry out large-scale infrastructure construction; large-scale construction has brought a large number of employment opportunities, and employment opportunities have attracted the inflow of foreign population; the influx of foreign population has led to an increase in housing demand, which is good for the real estate industry; the increase in real estate demand will lead to Douglas City The land price rises, and the land price rises, which makes it easier for the Douglas city government to get rich.
Cooperating with the Black Flag Savings Bank, the leverage is almost pulled to the maximum allowed by financial regulation!If it weren't for the stricter pre-sale card in the United States, this leverage could be increased!

At the same time, with the improvement of Douglas' infrastructure, in Benjamin's words: "Compared with the previous two years, the work of attracting investment is much easier!"

Douglas, whose resident population is increasing every year, is undoubtedly more attractive to businessmen!

Wal-Mart, once unavailable to hire, has now sprung up beside Black Avenue in Douglas.The presence of these enterprises has made Douglas' job market more prosperous!
A benign model has been formed and is running at full speed!
Just when Carter thought that 1983 was about to end, another invitation slipped through the door of the dormitory!
No, to be precise, two copies!

Signed: Skull and Bones!
