Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 415
In the waiting hall of Baiyun Airport.

After half a year, Lu Yiming saw Zhou Zhiming again. He was invited from Xiangjiang today.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Stay safe."

Lu Yiming smiled and put his arms around Zhou Zhiming's shoulders: "In this competition, with a genius like you helping me, it can be said that half of the championship trophy has already been pocketed by me."

With a strong foreign aid team like Zhou Zhiming, Lu Yiming is in a good mood.

Although he has only learned programming for a few months, who makes Zhou Zhiming's IQ superior to others?

Especially his amazing talent in the field of mathematics has made him make rapid progress in this area, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Zhou Zhiming, who was unaware of this, didn't think much about it. He smiled shyly and said modestly: "I should thank you for such an interesting event. If you hadn't strongly recommended it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have participated in it." opportunity to compete."

At the beginning, Bill Gates called Lu Yiming to participate in the competition, and Lu Yiming chose to agree with the mentality of looking for a computer expert.Later, I suddenly remembered that if we talk about computer talents, didn’t we have one when we exchanged and studied in Xiangjiang?

In his opinion, if he could take Zhou Zhiming out for some training, it would probably come in handy after returning to China.

So when Bill Gates called to confirm the itinerary with him, he asked to add Zhou Zhiming.

Microsoft is one of the sponsors, plus it only increases the number of entries and does not interfere with the competition itself. This small right is still there.

After boarding the plane, sitting in the first class cabin, Lu Yiming and Zhou Zhiming chatted about the regulations of the competition.

"This competition has a group stage, and the minimum number of participants is three, so we still need a teammate now."

Zhou Zhiming looked around and asked, "Who? Where is he?"

"I haven't started looking for it yet, let's talk about it when we arrive in the beautiful country."

Zhou Zhiming: "..."

Good guy, can this also be cramped temporarily?

Seeing that Zhou Zhiming was speechless, Lu Yiming smiled and reassured him: "Don't worry, it's useless to find someone to top up the number in a while. When we get to the destination, there will be computer geniuses from all over the world. What we need is A partner with reliable ability, not a teammate who will only hold back, and it’s the same when we look for it again.”

But after Zhou Zhiming heard it, he hesitated: "What if you find someone you think is suitable, but the other party refuses your invitation?"

However, Lu Yiming showed full confidence: "No."

"why?"

"Because I have money."

After speaking, Lu Yiming put on the blindfold and directly adjusted the seat to the lowest position.

"Let's take a rest first. This flight will fly to Zhonghai first, then to Edo, and then to the beautiful country after two connecting flights. The total journey will be at least ten hours. Sleep and refresh yourself, and also fall down by the way. jet lag."

Zhou Zhiming shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not sleepy, I'd better practice my hand feeling first."

As he spoke, he took out a NECVERSASX notebook from his backpack.This is a thin and light light-soft interchangeable notebook using Intel Pentium II processor. This computer has a very large 14.1-inch TFT display screen. ROM, the price is as high as 266 yuan.

Seeing Zhou Zhiming sharpening his knife, Lu Yiming was deeply moved. As a talented and talented person who works so hard, how could he not be successful?

During this period of time, he has been working hard to solve the crisis of Mingyuan Science and Technology, coupled with the high-intensity tests and review of the graduating class of senior high school, even Lu Yiming feels a little lack of energy, and plans to take advantage of this opportunity to "travel" abroad to relax one time.

He called the stewardess, asked for a glass of warm water, and then lay down on the seat. The first-class cabin is still very comfortable, at least you don’t have to squeeze with others like ordinary cabins, and you have plenty of personal space.

Lu Yiming put on the blindfold, told Zhao Tiezhu who was sitting next to him, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

A few hours later, with the slight turbulence when the plane landed, Lu Yiming, who had just taken a nap for a while, woke up from his sleep, stretched himself, and asked, "What time is it?"

Zhao Tiezhu looked at a Citizen watch on his wrist and said, "It's eleven o'clock, and it's time for lunch soon. I just saw the plane prompting that lunch will be served at 11:30."

Lu Yiming looked sleepily at Zhou Zhiming, who was still typing furiously at the computer, and asked, "What do you want to eat? Are there any taboos?"

Zhou Zhiming said, "No."

Lu Yiming said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Then just watch."

The plane stopped at Zhonghai International Airport to refuel, and passengers came up at the same time.

Lu Yiming noticed that two middle-aged men in their 60s and [-]s walked in wearing navy blue coats.On their coats, the school emblem of Modu Furi University was embroidered.

Behind the two, five young people followed, and their clothes also had the school badge of Furi University on them.

Lu Yiming was a little moved, remembering what Bill Gates said about inviting universities to participate, and thought in his heart that this should be the participating team of Furi University.

Lu Yiming only glanced at it for a few moments before planning to go back to sleep, when he suddenly heard a burly student who followed closely behind the two middle-aged men shout: "Zheng Nanling, you are responsible for putting the luggage up."

I saw a boy who was as thin as a stick and nodded submissively, "Okay."

The other people all found their seats and sat down, while the boy named Zheng Nanling laboriously moved everyone's luggage in from outside one by one.

It can be seen that in this team, he has the lowest status.

Zheng Nanling grabbed a bulging backpack with difficulty, let out a low cry, grabbed it with both hands, and raised it above his head, trying to stuff it into the luggage rack.

Zheng Nanling gritted his teeth tightly, his face was flushed red, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Those of his classmates, who turned a blind eye to this, chatted excitedly about going to Seattle to participate in the Microsoft competition.

Lu Yiming just came back from the toilet, so he helped Zheng Nanling put all the luggage on it.

Zheng Nanling hurriedly said, "Thank you."

Lu Yiming asked with some curiosity: "Are you also going to participate in the ACM International Academy Programming Contest?"

Before Zheng Nanling could speak, the tall boy looked at Lu Yiming.

He seemed to be the leader of the team, and he looked at Lu Yiming with a bit of arrogance and scrutiny.

"So you too?"

His name is Bai Zihao, he is a genius in the Computer Department of Furi University, the kind who wins the championship in various competitions in the school.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and began to introduce himself: "Yes, I am a third-year student in Baiyun No. [-] Middle School. I was invited to participate because I like computers."

Unexpectedly, when Bai Zihao heard this, he felt even more disdainful, looked at Lu Yiming and said teasingly: "Why don't you study hard for the college entrance examination and come here to join in the fun?"

The other boys in the team obviously didn't take Lu Yiming seriously, and started complaining instead.

"Why do you invite high school students to Microsoft's competition? Isn't it too informal?"

"Yeah, didn't you say that only college students can participate? Hey, boy, are you lying to us?"

Lu Yiming didn't pay much attention to this, and explained casually: "Why am I lying to you? Bill Gates called me personally."

It's okay if you don't explain, as soon as you say this, Bai Zihao and the others all burst out laughing.

"Damn it, what kind of idiot is this, and Bill Gates called himself? Why didn't you say that Bill Gates directly decided that you were the champion?"

"Do you know who Bill Gates is? Calling you? Asking you to register at St. Elizabeth's Hospital?"

"Haha."

Undoubtedly, Lu Yiming was treated as a joke by the few of them, and he belonged to the kind of person who brags and doesn't even make drafts.

To be able to receive the request from the organizer, that is the treatment of the top universities in the country, and the world's richest man called himself?

Do you know what you're talking about? Hey.

Hearing the unscrupulous and arrogant smiles of several people, Lu Yiming originally planned to have a chat with them, but now he wisely did not continue talking, after all Xia Chong can't speak ice.

A few minutes later, the plane took off again and flew to the next destination.

After a while, the stewardess pushed the dining car past Bai Zihao and the others, pushed into the first class cabin, and then stopped beside Lu Yiming's seat.

The stewardess has a great demeanor and considerate service. She smiled gently, revealing two shallow dimples, and asked softly, "Mr. Lu, the baked lobster with cheese you want is ready. Do you need me to open the champagne for you?" ?”

"OK, thanks."

Lu Yiming replied politely, his posture was a little lazy and careless.

Afterwards, the stewardess put a medium-rare Tomahawk steak in front of Zhou Zhiming and said, "This is your Tomahawk steak."

And what Zhao Tiezhu ordered was a crispy chicken cutlet topped with rice.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zihao, who was the most front seated in the common cabin, couldn't help but drool, he was really hungry.

They all exclaimed in their hearts—is the food in this first-class cabin so good?
Although it's not like they haven't seen the local turtles in the market, how could they be willing to fly first class when traveling by themselves?In the economical meal, at most two small biscuits and a small bottle of mineral water are enough to get rid of, and at the end of the day, a piece of white rice with heavy oil and salt but less meat and vegetables.

After delivering the meals to the three, the stewardess turned to Zheng Nanling and the others.

Their airplane meals are lunch boxes wrapped in tin foil, and they all seem to be about the same.

They opened it and found that in addition to a small ball of rice, there were a few slices of vegetables blanched in boiling water, some fried green beans with corn kernels, and a small piece of luncheon meat.

Simple enough to make people cry.

When Bai Zihao saw his meal, he was very dissatisfied, and immediately yelled at the stewardess: "What's the matter? They all have lobster, steak, and champagne! Why do you give us these when you come here? Are you Isn't it discriminatory?"

Although Bai Zihao's behavior was a little unreasonable, the stewardess still responded very politely: "Hi sir, their meals are paid extra, if you are willing to pay, we can also serve you. "

"Do you have a need? We have 380 packages, 680 packages, and 980 packages. We provide a full service."

When Bai Zihao heard the quotation, he was immediately speechless, how dare he beep again.

After the stewardess left, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Isn't it just rich? What's the big deal? After we win the championship, we'll eat lobster and drink champagne when we return..."

In the line, someone looked down at the clear soup in front of him, and then took a sneak peek at Lu Yiming and the others who were feasting, and couldn't help feeling: "When will we become rich?"

"This competition is a good report. If you can get an offer from Microsoft, you don't have to worry about it in your next life."

"That's right, the salary in the beautiful country is very high, especially now that the Internet is very popular, the treatment of programmers is simply not very good."

On the other side, while eating lobster and drinking champagne, Lu Yiming always had a name in his mind.

"Zheng Nanling, Zheng Nanling, why is this name so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere."

"Wait, it couldn't be him!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Yiming's mind, and he immediately remembered the weight of the three words "Zheng Nanling".

Zheng Nanling, Nanling hero?The founder of Qianqianjingting?
The identity of this unknown early Internet tycoon quickly came to mind.

It's not that Lu Yiming has a bad memory, it's that Zheng Nanling is too low-key. Compared to Er Ma, Zhou Hongyi and Li Luobin, Zheng Nanling is too simple and unpretentious. Many people have never even heard of his name.

If it weren't for Lu Yiming himself to be a code farmer, he might not have known about the existence of this boss.

Zheng Nanling really resembles the programmers of this era, with solid theory and excellent technology, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, and just wants to do what he likes to do in silence.

Seeing Lu Yiming's expression changed, Zhou Zhiming asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Our new teammate has been found."

In terms of basic skills, Zheng Nanling's technical strength is absolutely solid, otherwise it would be impossible to produce software that is popular among users, such as Qianqianjingting, Qianqianbrowsing, and Kuaitubrowsing.

It is absolutely suitable to find him as a teammate!
As for the fact that he is now a member of the Furi University team...

that's not important!

After a long flight, the plane finally landed at the Seattle airport.

Seattle is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Olympic Mountains in the west, and its natural scenery is quite beautiful.

But what is even more amazing is not the lakes and mountains here, but the comprehensive strength of the city.

You must know that even if it is a beautiful country with advanced technology, Seattle's status is extraordinary. It is at the forefront of the industry in the fields of aerospace, computer software, bioinformatics, genetic science, electronic equipment, medical equipment, and environmental engineering. aloof.

After getting off the plane, Bai Zihao and others were very excited, yelling and attracting many people's attention.

"As expected, it is a beacon of civilization. I feel that the air here is sweet!"

"Oh my god, this place is so beautiful, if only I could stay here and become a citizen of the beautiful country."

Someone saw Lu Yiming getting off the landing gear, followed by several bodyguards in suits, leather shoes and sunglasses, especially Zhao Tiezhu, who was tall and strong. He held a suitcase in his left and right hands, like a moving iron tower.

Immediately, the way Bai Zihao and others looked at Lu Yiming changed, as if they were looking at an alien.

"This kid actually brought bodyguards with him when he went out!"

"I, Cao, brought bodyguards with me when I went out? And there was more than one! Who the hell is he? Could it be that he is the second generation of a wealthy family?"

Although families who can afford a computer in the 90s are probably not poor, how poor this kind of thing depends on who they compare with. At least Bai Zihao and the others are unlikely to go out with bodyguards, just extra They can't afford the airfare.

However, what surprised Bai Zihao and the others was still to come. They saw them taking the shuttle bus to the exit, and they were queuing up to check the tickets and leave the station.

Someone in the line suddenly pointed in one direction and exclaimed: "Look, that's Bill Gates! I saw him in a magazine!"

"What? Bill Gates? Ah, it's really Bill Gates!"

"Come on, let's go up and ask for an autograph! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we can take a photo together, we can boast for three years when we go back!"

Bill Gates' popularity in Xia Kingdom is really as high as that of a god.

Immediately, Bai Zihao and the others didn't care about anything, and ran towards Bill Gates, turning into fanatical star fans.
