Reborn in the red age

Chapter 147 Prepare to Return to China
After negotiating the exchange of currency with Li Qingfeng, the main mission of the inspection team was completed.

After the matter was settled, Qingfeng Li led the delegation to visit Professor McCarthy. Through Professor McCarthy's connection, they had a three-day academic exchange at Stanford. The four members of the delegation benefited a lot from Stanford.

After Stanford, with the help of the embassy and Chinese professors, I went on academic visits to the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of San Francisco.

This trip was not an official inspection tour. All expenses during the inspection were paid by Qingfeng Li. Although he had strong support from Qingfeng Li, Mr. Wang was embarrassed to take advantage of his own students. After inspecting several schools in California, he This trip has been terminated.

Carrying the three computers donated by Qingfeng Li to the school and the gifts brought by Qingfeng Li to his family, the inspection team got on the plane and headed to New York to transfer back home.

I originally wanted the inspection team to take back the things prepared for Hu Jiabao, but it was already very difficult for four people to carry three computers. I was worried that the three old professors would not be able to bear it, so they did not give away the TV and video recorder. Four people carried it back.

Naturally, Qingfeng Li paid for the travel expenses for the inspection team to return home. Before leaving, Qingfeng Li personally sponsored the inspection team with [-] US dollars, which was used as travel expenses and necessary expenses on the way back to China. This was a lot of money, enough for four people to fly first class. There is still a lot of room for two round trips.

After the inspection team left, Qingfeng Li devoted himself wholeheartedly to the laboratory again, doing research with McCarthy every day.

After two months of research and improvement, Qingfeng Li's second paper was successfully published in top international journals half a month after the inspection team left. For a time, Qingfeng Li was somewhat famous in the computer field.

McCarthy personally invited Qingfeng Li to study as his graduate student. Qingfeng Li had no idea about whether to study for graduate school. He would decide whether to study or not. It would depend on the actual situation at that time.

I was doing research in the laboratory that day. Deisen called the laboratory. After Qingfeng Li answered the phone, he heard the annoyed voice of Deisen from the microphone: "Li, a company is interested in you." JB-DOS, they want to buy out all the copyrights to JB-DOS from you"

"Which company?" Qingfeng Li was shocked when he heard the news and asked quickly.

"It's Microsoft, which sells BASIC interpreters. This company seems to have a background in IBM. They want to buy out all your copyrights for 100 million."

"One million? This price is a bit low. I'm curious how he came up with it."

"Li, 100 million is just a tentative offer from the other party, and we can continue to negotiate."

Qingfeng Li thought for a while and said tentatively: "Actually, I am very interested in Microsoft. I wonder if I can invest in Microsoft with technology?"

"Impossible, Li, why does he, a BASIC guy, want to buy an operating system? I feel like someone is definitely behind this acquisition. It's impossible for you to get Microsoft shares." Negative words quickly came from the other end of the microphone. sound.

"Why would you say someone was behind it?"

"As far as I know, Gates's family is not simple, it is truly upper class. His father is a well-known American barrister, his mother is a director of the University of Washington and a director of a bank, and his grandfather is the president of the National Bank. Such a family , would he acquire an operating system for no reason? There must have been some kind of agreement behind the scenes, and then he suddenly proposed the acquisition."

Qingfeng Li nodded and did not continue to dwell on this topic. He directly asked De Yisen to make an appointment with the other party to discuss it in detail.

Microsoft was indeed very urgent about the JB operating system. After Qingfeng Li agreed to negotiate, the other party sent negotiators to start negotiations with Qingfeng Li on the copyright acquisition the next day.

When Li Qingfeng learned that Gates had not come, he was too lazy to come out to meet with Microsoft employees to discuss the price. The style of a big country must be in place.

Call the little mixed-blood and tell her that the quoted price is 200 million, and the psychological price is 180 million. Ask her to find a lawyer to go to Deisen Company to negotiate copyright with Microsoft employees.

JB-DOS is different from the 86-BOS in the original time and space. This is a very complete computer operating system with many disruptive designs. It has withstood the test of the market and is currently selling well in the market.

Of course, it was impossible for Microsoft to get the copyright of JB-DOS for only 100 million. After two days of bargaining, Microsoft finally won the entire copyright for 180 million.

At this time, Microsoft is not yet a behemoth for future generations. Microsoft's real success will be in its cooperation with IBM next year. Now that it has 180 million, it will put some pressure on Microsoft.

Otherwise, it would not have taken two days to negotiate in Deisen for 20 yuan.

Before Qingfeng Li came forward to sign the contract, he also tentatively asked if he could invest in technology technology. After being rejected without hesitation, Qingfeng Li shrugged and signed his name on the contract.

This time is different from the original time and space. The original time and space 86-BOS is very imperfect, and IBM does not necessarily need to use this system. However, after Qingfeng Li’s perfect version of JB-DOS came out, IBM should have decided to use this system by now. , which prompted Microsoft to spend a lot of money to acquire the copyright.

Microsoft's payment speed is very fast. After the contract was signed here, the payment was made the same day there. It seems that the demand for this system is very urgent.

There was still one month left before the Stanford summer vacation. Qingfeng Li asked McCarthy in advance if he had any projects during the summer that he needed to stay. After confirming that there were none, he made preparations to return to China during the summer vacation.

During the two months of summer vacation, I don't have to work to earn living expenses, nor am I engaged in commercial activities, so there is no need to stay in the United States.As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown in rich clothes, you will be like walking at night in rich clothes. All your money can be put on the bright side, there is no need to hide it. In addition, I really miss this little girl Hu Jiabao after not seeing her for almost a year. .

I bought a lot of things to be shipped back to China, including color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, video recorders, cameras, and various other home appliances.

After coming out of the electronics store, Qingfeng Li always felt that something was missing. It wasn't until he parked his car under the apartment building that Qingfeng Li suddenly remembered that he was missing a car.

I was used to driving in the United States, but I was a little uncomfortable without a car after returning to my country. I called the embassy that night and asked if I could check in a car when I returned to my country during the summer.

I learned from the embassy that you only need to pay taxes in accordance with regulations to ship the car back to your country, but the car needs to be settled in the unit where it is located.

This didn't make any sense to Qingfeng Li. Private ownership of cars was not yet allowed. After some thought, Qingfeng Li went to a car dealership and bought a Passat B2, which was just released this year, and shipped it back to his country.

"Li, summer is tomorrow, do you want to go have a drink tonight?" On the day when the school announced the start of summer vacation, several senior brothers in the laboratory made an appointment to have a drink together.

Qingfeng Li thought for a while and thought that it was indeed a long time since he had a drink. It would be fine to have a drink together before leaving. He nodded in agreement.

After making an appointment to meet in the evening, everyone packed up and left. Qingfeng Li had a casual meal in the cafeteria for dinner. He was flying out tomorrow afternoon and needed to pack the things he wanted to take back before drinking in the evening.

After putting away his clothes, it was already the appointed time. Qingfeng Li drove his Ford car to the door of the bar early.

Qingfeng Li walked into the bar and saw that all the customers here were white. He didn't see a single black or Asian person. Qingfeng Li, a yellow man, came in and attracted a lot of people's attention.

Ignoring the looks of the people around him, Qingfeng Li walked straight towards the table where the senior brothers were sitting.

Pires, a master's student brought by McCarthy, asked Qingfeng Li to sit down. He poured three glasses of beer with a smile and said, "Li, you're late. Do you Chinese have a saying that you punish yourself with three glasses of beer?"

"Fuck, you have stolen our country's traditional culture," Qingfeng Li joked, but did not refuse. He picked up the beer glass on the table and drank three glasses in a row.

After three glasses of beer, he received a burst of cheers from several senior brothers.

Putting down the beer glass, Li Qingfeng scanned around and found that there were only four of them, not a senior. He asked curiously: "Pires, what's going on? Didn't you invite the senior?"

"Nonono, drinking with the girls in our laboratory is too boring. I found some girls from outside and they are already here." The rich second generation Weiss raised his eyebrows at Qingfeng Li and pointed in the direction of the door, obscenely said.

Looking in the direction of his finger, there are eight long-legged white girls in bikinis.

These girls should be a professional atmosphere group. It can only be said that they are very good at playing and have all kinds of bells and whistles.

Soon their side became the focus of the entire bar, and it was easy to cause trouble if they were having fun, especially in a bar, and other people soon couldn't help but want to join in.

These girls paid money to play with him, and Weiss naturally did not agree to let them join. The other party drank a little too much, and after Weiss refused, he punched Weiss in the face.

After being punched, Weiss picked up the beer bottle on the table without hesitation and hit the other person on the head.

The other party didn't come by himself. Seeing that one of his own was suffering a loss, those who were with him naturally wanted to help fight, so the two groups of people started fighting in the bar.

Qingfeng Li came with Weiss, and he couldn't be alone in this situation, so he took action.

There were too many people and the environment in the bar was dark. As soon as Qingfeng Li knocked the white man who was causing trouble for him to the ground, he saw his senior brother Pi Lei being pinned to the ground and beaten.

He quickly went to help, and kicked the opponent to the ground with a fierce kick. Just as he was about to pull Pires up from the ground, he didn't know what this guy was thinking, so he punched him.

Qingfeng Li didn't expect that his grandson could do something to him. He was caught off guard and punched in the face by this kid.

"Fuck, fuck, Pires, you hit me so hard."
