Return to 1983 and be a detective

But Lao Mo shook his head repeatedly: "Xu, the rules in our Tajikistan country are different from yours. We don't need so many etiquettes. After all, we haven't reached a cooperation agreement yet. And if you give gifts to others right away, others will misunderstand them. Do you have any other ideas?"

Xu Shan thought it made sense.

Besides, this Billy Rice Bowl is said to like little girls, especially girls aged fourteen or fifteen. Xu Shan thinks that he does not have the ability, nor does he have the need to break the moral bottom line and do illegal things. In order to To make friends with the richest man in the world, you have to lower your status.

In fact, another reason for this is that even if you lower your status, others may not like you. The basis of cooperation is interests, not your attitude.

The meeting place was at a place called Panda Restaurant.

This was what Lao Mo chose. It was said that Billy Rice Bowl was very interested in Chinese food, so Lao Mo also did his homework and chose this specious Chinese restaurant.

Xu Shan followed Lao Mo into the restaurant, and saw many people with black hair and yellow skin, speaking fluent English.

When they saw Lao Mo, their eyes were full of reverence, but when they saw Xu Shan, there was a look of contempt in their eyes.

Xu Shan's perception ability is very strong, so he felt this kind of gaze all of a sudden.

This made him feel slightly unhappy, but after thinking about it, he realized it was nothing. It was obvious that these people should have come from the big eastern country. Some of them might be immigrants, and some might have smuggled themselves over.

After they come here, even if they are serving or washing dishes in the restaurant, they will feel that they are superior to others.

That is the example of a successful person.

There were people like this in later generations, but it is estimated that there were not as many people with this mentality as there are now.

Therefore, Xu Shan did not take them seriously and went straight to a private room. In this private room, two young men were sitting.

They are all in their thirties, with plaid shirts and messy hair, and they look like technical experts at first glance.

Lao Mo introduced: "This is Billy, Billy Rice Bowl, and this is Paul, Paul Tire."

Then he introduced Xu Shandao to Billy and Paul: "This is Xu from a big eastern country. He is very interested in your project and hopes to invest in you."

Billy and Paul looked at each other. They felt that Xu Shan didn't look like a rich man.

Xu Shan didn't say anything, just smiled and shook hands with them, then took his seat and asked everyone what they wanted to eat.

Billy and Paul were both technology geeks at the moment. They didn't have much money and didn't know what to order.

It's up to Xu Shan to decide.

Xu Shan ordered a General Tso's chicken and some beef and broccoli. Anyway, they were some strange dishes that were not seen in China.

When the food arrived, Billy and Paul were a little uncomfortable with this kind of shared meal system, so Lao Mo specially asked for knives, forks and plates for them to share the dishes.

Xu Shan talked about cooperation with these two people while eating food.

As soon as this matter was brought up, Billy said with a bit of disdain: "Do you people from the big Eastern countries understand our technology? Do you know the value of our technology?"

"If you want to talk about the BASIC language you are working on now, I really don't understand it. I also admit that it has a certain value, but its speed of processing events is really a bit too slow, and it is not very easy to use. Computer language."

"You know the language we came up with?"

"Is it strange?"

"Since you know the language we developed, you should know that it is the best programming language now, but you say it is not good. Do you think there is room for improvement?"

Xu Shan nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's true. In fact, I believe it's not just me who feels this way. You may also feel this way. Maybe you are already researching new programming languages."

This sentence made the expressions of both Billy and Paul change.

They are indeed researching new programming languages, but all this is done in secret, and they have not disclosed any information to the outside world. How did this person from the mysterious Eastern country know?

Xu Shan saw their doubts and said: "No programming language is perfect. I have also studied some BASIC you have developed. At present, processing some simple events and performing some simple data operations are all It’s enough, but with the development of hardware, the requirements for programming languages ​​are also increasing, and I think its weaknesses will soon become apparent.”

Billy put away his previous contemptuous attitude and asked Xu Shan: "Xu, we have considered your point of view, but now we don't have a clear direction. Can you give us a detailed explanation of what our language needs?" In which direction should we improve?”

"I think there are two directions, one is visual programming, and the other is the use of pointers and stacks." Xu Shan said this sentence pretending to be profound.

This sentence made Billy and Paul feel like they were struck by lightning.

The new languages ​​they studied happened to be in these two directions, so the two programming languages ​​​​of VB language and C language were produced later.

Suddenly the two of them looked at Xu Shan with something wrong in their eyes.Especially Billy Rice, he seemed to have introduced Xu Shan as a confidant: "Xu, I didn't expect that your research on programming languages ​​​​is so deep."

"Actually, my understanding is limited to this, and it's not worth mentioning. As for technology, there is still a big gap between me and you. It's just that I think I can know the direction of future technology development and the deeper needs of future users. .”

"Please be more specific."

"I can only give you an analogy. The current DOS system is dark after entering it, and then you see the cursor flashing. If you want to enter any software, you have to enter CD:, followed by the file name. If we can create a visual interface that allows people to see at a glance where the software is placed, where the documents are placed, where they can be printed, etc., do you think such a system will be very popular?"

Xu Shan's words made Billy Rice Bowl wake up from a dream, and he suddenly became enlightened.

He rubbed his hands excitedly and thought about the future. He couldn't help but feel very complicated: "Yes, if that's true, that would be great. Xu, you seem to have the ability to foresee. I believe I can make it according to your ideas." This kind of system will greatly improve convenience and make users use the software more conveniently and quickly."
