Chapter 43
Zhang Lexing's first stop in his search was Kunlun Electronic Printing Equipment Company. According to the information provided by Wang Bin, Yan Yuanchao should have been arranged to work here after leaving China Computer Development Corporation.

At the entrance of Kunlun Electronic Printing Equipment Company...

He was stopped by the guard without any suspense. Wang Bin immediately walked over to the guard and whispered a few words, and took out a small notebook from his arms to show the guard. The guard turned his head and looked at Zhang Lexing, his face full of confusion expression.Soon the guard returned to the duty room, picked up the phone and started talking.

"It's okay, he went to contact, and he should be here soon." Wang Bin explained.

Sure enough, not long after, a man in his 30s walked over slowly, with messy hair, a pair of wide-rimmed glasses, and some doubts on his face.

"Mr. Yan, hello." Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand in a friendly manner.

"Oh..." Yan Yuanchao was a little hesitant, he held Zhang Lexing's hand after hesitation, "Hello, you are the one looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Mr. Yan, I admire the Chinese operating system you developed, and I am very optimistic about your technical ability. I hope to invite you to our company." Zhang Lexing said straight to the point.

"What company are you...?" Yan Yuanchao looked a little disbelieving.

Zhang Lexing took out a business card and handed it over with both hands, "This is my business card. I am the founder of the most popular Kylin operating system on PCs, and one of the core members of the current Kylin code maintenance team."

Yan Yuanchao took the business card with a face full of surprise, and carefully looked at the contents on it.

"I plan to set up a company in BJ to be responsible for the Chinese culture of the Kylin system. This requires technicians who are familiar with the operating system and the Chinese character system. I have seen the Chinese character operating system you designed and the Great Wall 0520CH that you participated in the design. I think you I am fully qualified for such a job. I wonder if you would like to come to my company. Our company emphasizes technological innovation and free play. If you are willing to come, you can concentrate on dealing with technical issues and will not have other troubles.” Zhang Lexing After finishing speaking, he looked forward to Yan Yuanchao.

Yan Yuanchao seemed hesitant, as if he couldn't make up his mind, he thought for a while before replying: "Thank you very much for thinking highly of me, but I have only been here for a short time, and it is not convenient for me to leave at the moment."

Zhang Lexing was very disappointed, sighed and said: "It's a pity, Mr. Yan, if you change your mind, you can come to see me at the Friendship Hotel, our office will be set up there."

Misfortunes never come singly. Next, they went to the Microelectronics Technology Application Research Institute and the Third Chemical Factory and encountered difficulties. Zhou Zhinong is still the leader of the research group. Zhang Lexing can understand his refusal, but he did not expect that Wu Xiaojun also rejected his invitation. He felt very sad. confuse.

On the way back, Zhang Lexing couldn't help asking Wang Bin: "Why are they unwilling to accept my invitation? Could it be that the conditions I gave are not good?"

"Mr. Zhang, you may not understand the domestic personnel system. If the unit does not let people go, ordinary people can't leave unless they give up their working years, benefits, etc. I think this may be one of the reasons." Wang Bin explained.

"Oh, what a pity for these talents." Zhang Lexing sighed, "Wang Bin, where else do you think there are more talents?"

"Scientific research institutes have the most talents, but don't think about it, the country will not allow the loss of talents from these places." Wang Bin dispelled Zhang Lexing's last illusion.

"In that case, Wang Bin, can you accompany me to another place?" Zhang Lexing had to make a final effort.

"Outside? Where?"

"Xushui County, BD City, I heard that there is a young man with good skills there, I want to try again."

"Okay, can you wait two days? I need to make arrangements."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news at the hotel."

……

Many things happened in the past two days. Lai Bingrong and Wu Guofa returned to the United States, and Dr. Yu flew to Hong Kong to arrange the chip factory.In order to prepare for the software design competition, VisualSystem sent a woman named Wan Lin. According to the information, she has strong overall management skills and is very suitable for handling the current preparations. Of course, VisualSystem's China office will also be temporarily managed by her.Chu Jing has been staying at the hotel these days, but now she has another identity, the Chinese representative of the software design competition organizing committee, who continues to be in charge of the communication work.

Two days later, Zhang Lexing and Wang Bin set foot on the journey to Xushui County, and Wang Bin got two soft sleeper tickets.After getting on the bus, there was a small episode. We just sat down in the soft sleeper private room when we heard a noise next to us.

Zhang Lexing put his head out of the private room to observe. It turned out that several people were arguing fiercely at the door of private room No. 4.A female conductor was persuading two elderly people to leave the private room, but a police officer next to her suddenly yelled, "Don't be so wordy, you have to move if you want to move, and you have to move if you don't want to move, anyway, you can't use these two berths!" After that, he and another marshal threw the luggage of the two old people onto the aisle.

"Wang Bin, if our private room is still available, you can go and talk to the conductor and let the two old people come over, so they can't be wronged anymore."

"Leave it to me." Wang Bin got up and walked out of the private room. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "You just stay here and don't walk around. Be careful."

Under Wang Bin's negotiation, the two old people moved to our private room.The train whistle sounded, and a group of people surrounded this middle-aged man who looked like a leader and boarded the train, and a few of the entourage entered the No. 4 private room.

After talking with two old people, I found out that one of them is the president of a certain university, and the other is a professor of space physics. This time, they came to Beijing to report work and fight for the construction of the laboratory.After finishing the work, I thought I could sit on a soft sleeper to make it more comfortable, but I didn't expect to encounter such a problem.

Soon Xushui Station arrived, and we waved goodbye to the two old people.

"Wang Bin, are all officials like this?" Zhang Lexing complained to Wang Bin as he walked.

"This should be an isolated phenomenon." Wang Bin looked a little embarrassed, "Maybe the people below can't do things."

Xushui County Petroleum Bureau Geophysical Prospecting Bureau Instrument Factory...

"Master, is Qiu Bojun here?" Zhang Lexing asked the guard.

"Qiu Bojun? Oh, you mean Xiaoqiu." The guard tried his best to remember, and suddenly pointed to the factory gate and said, "Isn't that the one walking out with the bag?"

We looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and saw a young man walking out with a bag on his back.

"Are you Qiu Bojun?" Zhang Lexing hurried up to meet him and asked.

"Yes, you are?" Qiu Bojun was a little puzzled.

"Have you ever used the Kylin operating system?"

"Used."

"I am the founder of the Kylin operating system, and I am also one of the core members of the Kylin code maintenance team." Zhang Lexing took out his business card and handed it over.

Qiu Bojun finally looked at the business card carefully, and looked a little surprised.

"I heard that Mr. Qiu's technology is quite good. He worked on library management system software when he was still in college. I would like to invite Mr. Qiu to join our company."

"Can you let me think about it?" Qiu Bojun looked a little shocked, "I'm going out to help the fellow with some problems now, let's talk about it when I come back."

"Do you mind if we go together, we can chat on the way."

"Yes, but the living conditions there are not very good."

"I'm fine, what about you, Wang Bin?"

"no problem."

"Go by car?" Qiu Bojun wanted to ask Zhang Lexing's opinion.

"No!" The scene from many years ago flashed before Zhang Lexing's eyes again, and he felt a little weak, "Let's take the train."

Zhuozhou Petroleum Geophysical Exploration Bureau...

As soon as Zhang Lexing and his party settled down in the guest house of the Geophysical Exploration Bureau, Qiu Bojun couldn't wait to find his fellow villagers, but he didn't come back until early the next morning.Qiu Bojun looked very tired, fell asleep on the bed after hastily eating something.

Zhang Lexing had nothing to do, so he went to the county town accompanied by Wang Bin. In this era, the population of the county town was small, the roads were relatively narrow, and there were even fewer vehicles on the road.After shopping around, except for tasting a bunch of local snacks, I found nothing attractive, so I had to return to the guest house.

When it was almost noon, Qiu Bojun finally woke up. At the invitation of Zhang Lexing, the three of them found a clean small restaurant nearby to have lunch together.

"Qiu Bojun, what were you doing yesterday and you didn't come back all night?" Zhang Lexing asked while eating.

"The thing is like this..." Qiu Bojun said slowly while eating.

Yesterday, after meeting with fellow villagers, Qiu Bojun quickly devoted himself to solving the problem. At first, he just had the idea of ​​solving the problem, but in the process of analyzing the problem, Qiu Bojun thought that this kind of printing problem may occur in many places. It exists, so the idea of ​​designing a general-purpose print driver that supports multiple printers was born.Since the only PC/XT machine in the Science and Technology Department can only be used after get off work, Qiu Bojun can only hurry up and speed up the development progress, so he can only come back to rest for a while in the morning when others are about to go to work, and wait until the Science and Technology Department gets off work in the afternoon After that, he has to rush over to continue development.

After hastily eating lunch, in order to hurry, Qiu Bojun brewed on paper first, and prepared to write out as many codes as possible.When encountering obstacles in development, Qiu Bojun communicated with Zhang Lexing. After all, no one is more familiar with his own system than the original author.

This kind of life lasted for nine days. Qiu Bojun slept every morning, did homework on paper or exchanged programming with Zhang Lexing in the afternoon, and wrote code desperately after the computer in the Science and Technology Department was free.In the end, nearly [-] lines of assembly code were finally completed, and the printer problems encountered by fellow villagers were also solved, and the written advanced printing driver was named "Xishan Super Text Printing System" by Qiu Bojun.

On the way back, Zhang Lexing extended an invitation to Qiu Bojun again, and because they got along well these few days, Qiu Bojun readily agreed.In order to strengthen Qiu Bojun's confidence, Zhang Lexing introduced some of his future plans to him, such as training software talents, developing general software, training domestic operating system developers, etc., and described the future of China's software industry in depth Qiu Bojun is fascinated by the bright future.

"I'll talk to the unit leader when I get back, and finish my resignation as soon as possible." Qiu Bojun couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Okay, I'll just wait for you in Xushui, it's done, let's go to BJ together first." Zhang Lexing was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he planned to follow closely.

Back in Xushui County, I begged Bojun to go to the unit to resign. Zhang Lexing and Wang Bin found a guest house to stay and wait. I thought it would take two or three days, but I didn’t expect that after half a day, I begged Bojun to carry my travel bag. Came to the guest house.

"Is it going well?" Zhang Lexing asked.

Qiu Bojun put down his luggage, shook his head and said: "The unit doesn't do it at all. In fact, I usually can't play much role in the unit. If I want to do something, I will always encounter the situation of seniority, but if I really want to leave, the unit will stop me. on."

Wang Bin explained to Zhang Lexing: "Now all units are like this. Without a transfer order from the HR department, it is generally impossible to leave."

Zhang Lexing said helplessly: "I am not a state-owned unit, and the personnel department cannot issue a transfer order."

"So I don't care about it. It doesn't matter what household registration or files you don't want. Just come out and talk about it." Qiu Bojun seemed a little excited.

"Have you thought about what to do in the future?" Zhang Lexing asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but the last time I went to Shenzhen let me know what 'time is money, efficiency is life', and computers are widely used there. I think there should be great prospects for development in that environment." Qiu Bo Jun thought for a while and said.

"That being the case, let's go to BJ first and visit Zhongguancun. Maybe you can find your goal. If you want to succeed, it will be easier to have a goal."

With Wang Bin's help, the three of Zhang Lexing boarded the train the next day and set off for BJ.
