Rebirth of the American Super Boss Road

"I found it. The recruitment advertisement of Kaplan, a well-known lawyer professional examination training institution, the fee is 1200 US dollars. There is also an advertisement for a lawyer examination training class called Horton, the fee is 1100 US dollars. There is also this..."

Passing several newspapers in his hands to Sophie and Nancy, Li Hongfei set his own price: "So, I set the tuition at 800 US dollars, Sophie, what do you think?"

USD800?

So that’s just over a month’s worth of salary, about five weeks?

Throughout the United States, it is the consensus of everyone that "knowledge needs to be paid for." The more excellent the education, the higher the cost. This is why the tuition fees at top universities such as Harvard and Stanford are so high. Because these colleges and universities have the best education level and faculty, all of which require money, and where does the money come from?

Naturally, it is the student’s tuition fee.

Harvard’s tuition in 1975 was US$5350 per year, while tuition at ordinary public undergraduate universities was approximately US$2500 per year. Including textbook fees, accommodation fees, living expenses, etc., the annual minimum guarantee was US$6000. This was US$70 in the mid-6000s. Dollar!

A semester costs 6000 US dollars, and after four years, it will cost at least 26000 US dollars (due to inflation every year, the tuition fee will increase every year). But after spending so much money, I can only find a job with a monthly salary of 2000 to 1200 US dollars. , and now, they only need to spend more than [-] US dollars to find a job with a monthly salary starting at [-] US dollars. In the eyes of Sophie and Nancy, this investment is obviously worth it.

Therefore, the two little girls didn't think there was any problem with Li Hongfei's quotation. Instead, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had taken advantage of it...

Sophie immediately agreed happily: "Okay, I will bring it to you tomorrow."

"Me too," Nancy nodded: "I'll give it to you tomorrow too."

Li Hongfei looked at Nancy in astonishment: "Miss Nancy, do you want to learn too?"

"Is that okay? Can you come here if you're busy?" Nancy was a little embarrassed: "It seems that your computer skills are very good. I also want to learn it so that I can change to a job with a higher salary in the future."

Nancy really didn't have much idea at first, but when she saw that Li Hongfei was really capable, she couldn't help but be moved: as long as she learned how to operate a computer, she could find a good job with a higher salary than her current salary. If that's the case, why not study.

I see……

Lin Hongfei was not surprised by Nancy's idea. Instead, he appreciated it: after discovering an opportunity, he was able to make a decisive decision to seize the opportunity. This decisive ability is extraordinary.As for himself, one more student means more income, so he will naturally not refuse.He happily agreed: "Of course it's no problem... Since you can accept this price, our teaching will start from today..."

Speaking of this, Li Hongfei thought for a while and said: "In this way, today I will briefly teach you some knowledge about computer hardware so that you can have a basic understanding and concept of computers. Tomorrow you will buy a notebook and take notes. Let’s start in earnest.”

The reason why I postponed it to tomorrow is that Li Hongfei himself is not very accustomed to using the WPS system of Wang An Computer. The difference between this system and the future Microsoft office software is really huge, and he still needs to get familiar with it.

However, when Li Hongfei's words fell into the ears of Sophie and Nancy, it was different. The two little girls felt that Li Hongfei was really a considerate and attentive man. Their impression of Li Hongfei immediately improved, and they no longer had the same impression they had when they met at the elevator entrance. Full of vigilance.

Nancy, who was completely relaxed, pointed to several tapes on the table and the tape player connected to the computer, and asked curiously: "Daniel, why are there still tapes? Can computers also listen to music?"

Sophie also looked curious. She had wanted to ask this question just now.

It’s no wonder that the two girls would have such an idea. The tape player lying flat on the table and these tapes are so similar to the portable tape players that play music. They are exactly the same!

The tape player is about the size of a 32-karat book. It has several buttons commonly used for playing music tapes. There is even a speaker on the front. If you just take it out like this, who wouldn't say it is a tape player for listening to music?

But in fact, this thing is not the same thing as a tape recorder for listening to music.

In the mid-to-late 70s, although many computers began to use 5.25-inch floppy disks, a large number of computers still used tapes as storage media for data and software. This kind of tapes is different from later computer-specific data storage tapes. From the appearance It is exactly the same as an ordinary music tape. Even the early Wang2200 computer of Wangan Computer directly inherited the tape drive next to the monitor, giving people the feeling that this computer can also play music.

Li Hongfei understood the surprise of people who saw this thing for the first time. He did not laugh at it, but explained seriously: "Although this tape looks the same as the tape we listen to music on, it is not a music tape, but It’s a professional data tape, and what’s filled in it is not music, but computer software.”

"Is that so..."

Nancy and Sophie nodded repeatedly, with expressions like "I have learned a lot."

"Sir, what do you need?"

In a RadioShack store not far from Smith Accounting Office, the sales staff came up to greet Li Hongfei enthusiastically: "We are the largest electronic and electrical appliance store in San Francisco. As long as there are products in the world, we have everything here... Oh , now the most popular TRS-80 computer has arrived, do you want to take a look?"

"Forget about computers," Li Hongfei waved his hand: "Do you have supporting software from Wang An Computer Company here? The model is wang2200F."

Li Hongfei is still very moral. He believes that since he wants to run a computer training class, although he cannot buy a new computer for the time being, he must at least have all the supporting software. Speaking of which, Wang An's company is also a weird one, very much like Apple in the 90s. Computers and operating systems are closed, and software is developed by themselves and can only run on their own systems and computers.

"Yes, yes," the salesperson nodded immediately, and the smile on his face became brighter: "We have all the mainstream supporting software of Wang An Company here. Even some uncommon software, you can also order from us. …Is your machine a tape drive or a floppy drive?”

"Tape or floppy drive will do. My computer has both a tape drive and a floppy drive."

"Okay, sir, please come with me. Anything you want about computers, you can find it at RadioShack."
