Yang Hailong heard what Jester said and thought this was a solution. Jester's grandfather was a patriotic Chinese registered with the Central Government. Jester himself also received the attention of ministerial leaders, and he had already made a name for himself in the United States. As a young entrepreneur who has built a successful career, Yang Hailong really has nothing to worry about.

But he couldn't make the decision, so he turned his attention to Qin Shuyao.

When Qin Shuyao heard what Jester said, her thin face blushed once again, and then there was a trace of hesitation on her face. Then she looked up at Jester's face. With a faint smile on his face, he whispered: Thank you then.

Jester drove Qin Shuyao in his high-horsepower Ford F150 pickup truck. He first went back to his grandfather's manor to say goodbye to his sister-in-law. By the way, he asked if his sister-in-law would like to come to his company to work. After all, the chief financial officer, always asking financial companies to do his company's financial outsourcing, doesn't seem like the courage a company that aspires to become a large company should have.

His sister-in-law only said that she should think about it again. The business she was taking over now was very important. If it was successful, it would be very useful for her to improve her reputation in the industry, so Jester could only agree.

When his sister-in-law knew that he was going to send Qin Shuyao back to Los Angeles and saw the beautiful and polite Qin Shuyao, she immediately fell in love with her. When she saw Jester's car, which looked so old-fashioned and high-horsepower F150 Pickup truck, she immediately semi-forced Jester to drive her own collection of Ferrari 365gt4bb to send the girl back. Jester was a little reluctant at first, but you must know that he always has a passion for supercars. For some reasons, I always thought that this kind of car was a moving coffin.

Not as impressive as his thick and muscular muscles.

However, after seeing this rare silver-white Ferrari classic supercar, I was immediately attracted by its special geometric section-like design beauty, especially when I saw the six roots arranged three on the left and three on the right behind the car. The thick exhaust pipe immediately made Jester feel eager.

He likes muscle cars because of their high horsepower, and he likes the roaring sound of high-horsepower engines the most.

And just seeing these six exhaust pipes made him feel as excited as hearing the roar of a motor.

Ferrari 365gt4bb is a landmark work in the history of world sports cars. Qin Shuyao, a little girl who was born and raised in China, had a look on her face when she saw this sports car with a strange shape in her eyes. He couldn't help but show a curious look.

But she still refrained from asking.

Get in the car. Jester greeted her.

Qin Shuyao nodded and got into the car. Jester started the car, probably because he had a girl in the car. It was impossible for Jester to increase the horsepower to the maximum, but the acceleration of this sports car was It is still very scary. It accelerates to 60 miles in less than six seconds. This speed is definitely the top among civilian sports cars of this era.

Jester is usually used to driving high-horsepower muscle cars, but now it is not difficult to control such a lightweight high-horsepower supercar. He went directly from the suburbs of San Francisco to the highway leading to Los Angeles, and saw that the road was extremely empty. He couldn't help but gradually increase the accelerator.

But what surprised Jester was that Qin Shuyao, who usually looked polite and weak, and would blush when others looked at him for a long time, had no objection to the speeding sports car.

There was even a hint of excitement.

Of course, Jester saw the scenery on both sides of the road retreating rapidly, and he was running as fast as if he were riding on a bolt of lightning, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

No wonder the car, gun and ball in later generations are ranked as the three major cancers in the gaming industry! This kind of venting pleasure that can only be imagined but cannot be expressed is enough. Jester is enjoying the thrill of driving this classic Ferrari sports car. thinking.

However, both Jester and Qin Shuyao were both busy. During the five or six hours of driving, one was driving intently, stealing glances from time to time at the girl sitting next to him who made his heart beat. Ling Yi only knew how to look at the scenery on the roadside through the car window. The two of them only said a few indispensable words and returned to Los Angeles all the way.

Now that USC is on holiday, you can also stay in the school's dormitory. Jester dropped Qin Shuyao near USC and stopped the car.

It was already night, but it was not too late, and there were still many pedestrians.

After the two said goodbye to each other, Qin Shuyao was about to leave.

Jester wanted to say something, but every time he opened his mouth before, he always forgot what he wanted to say.

This time, when he saw Qin Shuyao's pretty figure pushing out the door from the car and about to leave with cheerful steps, Jester finally plucked up the courage, opened the door, got out of the car, and called to the policeman. Qin Shuyao is leaving.

Qin Shuyao turned around and looked at Jester in surprise, looking at him doubtfully.

The moment Jester saw Qin Shuyao's delicate face, he seemed to have lost the courage he had finally mustered up before. He just opened his mouth, showing a smile that seemed a bit awkward to others, and said hesitantly. .

can we be friends?

Qin Shuyao's face turned slightly red after hearing Jester's words, but returned to normal in the next moment.

Aren't we friends now? Qin Shuyao asked strangely with a smile on his face.

Maybe, maybe, yes. The smile on Jester's face became normal. What he wanted to say was another kind of friend, but he didn't say it after all.

That's it! Qin Shuyao smiled happily when she heard Jester's answer. She waved her hand, Then I'll leave.

Then let's start with friends. Jester thought as he waved his hand.

It wasn't until Qin Shuyao's figure disappeared into the night on the USC campus that Jester returned to the car. He smashed the steering wheel in a ventive manner and suddenly hated himself so much. Why was he there? Why are you so clueless in this regard?

This doesn’t look like me at all! Where was the energy I had in chatting and laughing with legendary figures like Arakawa Minoru, Lee Ken-hee, and Nakayama Hayao?

Cursing himself, he sat quietly in the car for a few more minutes before Jester started the car and drove back at high speed.

When Jester comes back from other places, he always goes to the company first instead of going home directly, because the company must have accumulated a lot of work that he needs to handle when he leaves.

When he arrived at Mars Entertainment, Jester saw that the light in Mark Saini's room was still on.

It's really hard work. Jester also admired Mark Saini very much. Since the establishment of his R\u0026D team, he has worked overtime almost every day. Fortunately, like himself, he is also a bachelor. Otherwise, his girlfriend might have to Come and make a fuss at Mars Entertainment Headquarters.

Jester entered the company without going to his office, and went directly to Mark Saini's room.

The first thing I saw when I opened the door was a strange sight.

A computer motherboard was disassembled, and a separate line was connected from the outside to a square-looking thing similar to a video tape. Mark Saini was leaning on the chair, frowning, his eyes a little He stared blankly at the flashing fluorescent computer screen.

What are you doing? Jester stepped forward with some curiosity, and found that this time Mark Cerney was not studying his Avengers, but seemed to be writing some kind of program.

Are you back? Mark Saini also saw Jester come in. He stretched a little, with a tired look on his face.

What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? Jester glanced at Mark Seney and found that his eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn't slept for days and nights. Moreover, there was something on his table. There were five or six take-out boxes from the pizza shop that the company often ordered, and the empty Coca-Cola cans were still full of the trash cans on the side of the table.

I haven't slept in two days.

Mark Saini yawned, then pointed at the strange thing that Jester had just seen when he entered the door, and said, The company you control that specializes in developing display chips is called ATI. The day before yesterday, they sent over a sample of the graphics processing chip they designed for our home machine. After testing by our hardware department, we found that the effect was very good. It seemed that it used some unique architecture. Then their R\u0026D director told me, They designed a display graphics card specifically for use on current IBM PC-compatible machines. The one used on our eight-bit CPU is this new architecture they just developed. By the way, the graphics card sample they sent is this one. .”

As he spoke, Mark Saini pointed at Jester, which felt a little thick and square, like a video tape, and continued: The image processing capabilities of this graphics card are very good, and they want the company to This is the main product, but...

When Mark Saini said this, Jester understood. Before Mark Saini could finish his words, he interrupted him with a smile and said: However, after they went to promote it, they found that How many computer companies are interested in their graphics card?

Yes. Mark Saini glanced at Jester in surprise, then asked with a puzzled look on his face, How do you know? Have they contacted you?

hehe.

Jester smiled and said bluntly, That's not true. I just heard you say it, but you only need to think about it. Mark, you have to know that the market only needs a kind of There will be a market for this product only when it is a product. When the market does not need this product, no matter how advanced it is, there will be no market for it.”

As he spoke, Jester walked to the graphics card just developed by ATI, pointed at it and said, Although I don't know its performance, I think its image processing capabilities must be perfect. It beats other personal computers on the market, but having said that, today’s personal computers don’t seem to need a 16-bit graphics card at all, because no program requires a 16-bit graphics card to run, right?”

After listening to Jester's words, Mark Saini clapped his hands and said with some admiration: I didn't expect that you were exactly the same as what CEO He from ATI said. Originally, I thought that a product with technical advantages was not a sure thing. Will it be favored by the market? I didn't expect that it was not the case at all, but the CEO He you found only understood it after the sales failed. How did you...

Let's not talk about this first.

Jester waved his hand. Naturally, he understood this because he knew the marketing models of later graphics card manufacturers.

Later generations of software vendors and hardware have become incompatible. Hardware vendors have introduced hardware with higher and higher performance, while software vendors have launched games that require stronger hardware to run. The two have colluded. This is why the two major graphics cards in the future The reason why commercial power is so valuable, otherwise, except for those specialized graphics workers, who in the world would have access to such a powerful graphics card? Do writers who only use Word code need it?

Impossibly necessary.

You should answer the question I asked at the beginning, what are you doing? Jester asked Mark Saini.

When Jester said this, Mark Saini immediately became a little excited.

The CEO of ATI came to us for help, hoping that we can produce a computer game that is as influential as ours before, but requires ultra-high graphics processing power to run, so that computer users can play this game. , forcing those hardware manufacturers to order from them the 16-bit graphics cards they had just successfully developed. Then I wondered if I could move the scrolling effects that had been completed on arcade machines to personal computers. You know, since You know in 1981 After Kim Jarvis did it on the arcade, no one had ever done it on a PC!

As he said that, Mark Saini's originally excited tone gradually became lowered, But I have learned various methods in the past two days. The substrate structure of arcade machines is different from that of computers. Some technologies that can be used in arcade machines can be used in arcade machines. It’s very difficult to implement on a personal computer, and even if you try to do it, it will be very unsmooth.”

As he spoke, Mark Saini called Jester to his computer screen and ran a program for him.

It is a program that simulates the scroll effect.

But when Jester looked at the scroll effect on his personal computer, he couldn't help but feel like he didn't want to take a closer look.

How should I put it, this scroll effect is only slightly better than the slideshow.

Can you imagine a slide-like scroll effect?
