Chapter 233 Get Together to the Ivy League

Although Tang Huan can't know the specific progress of the ibm chess plan, he can speculate from the information frequently reported by the market research department and even unconfirmed gossip.

What's more, he himself has contacts in Microsoft and Digital Research Corporation, and it is clear at a glance whether the representative of IBM has been there or not after a phone call.

Tang Huan estimated that the progress of the Xiangqi project should be that the hardware design has been basically completed, and the search for supporting software developers from outside has begun.

This is obviously far behind the progress of the 386 plan. The two branches of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, the intel8086 and various proprietary chips required, have already begun to entrust amd with small batch production. Among the three supporting commercial software, the database ebase is still in production. In the intense alpha testing, word processing and spreadsheets have begun to be put into use in specific areas of the company together with prototypes.

As a landmark event, Tang Huan promised to design a special computer for Stephen Hawking, which was completed on this branch, and is currently debugging additional functions such as thesaurus and electronically synthesized speech.

Compared with the current 8-bit personal computer, the second-generation Fangyuan computer is a new product from the inside out, so according to Tang Huan's vision, it will be launched in Asia first. After all, the market there is small. Coping and controlling effectively.

After passing the test for several months, the factory's production capacity can be relaxed and boldly released. It is estimated that this time point will be the beginning of 1981. Even if the progress of the ibm chess plan is ahead of the original time and space. Can't keep up right away. At the same time, the interests involved in the Apple stock in his hand are not afraid of being affected.

During this time, Tang Huan has been guiding the company hand in hand, and even rolled up his sleeves to go to the battle in person, for the expansion of the 386 plan, such as pairing the intel8086 with the intel8087 coprocessor to enhance floating-point computing capabilities, and the dual cpu architecture works together Wait, there is also the second-generation Xiaobawang game console derived from the branch.

this day. When Tang Huan went to the University of California, Berkeley to deliver his academic papers, his advisor Cai Shaotang heard that he was going to the east coast of the United States again, so he asked him to take care of his eldest daughter Cai Meier who had just been admitted to Harvard University.

"I have a girl named Zhuang Menghua, who is a sophomore at Harvard University this year, and I just want my junior sister to be her companion." Tang Huan nodded readily.

Entrusted by others, one must do things of loyalty, not to mention his own teacher. Tang Huan went to Cai's house to pick up Cai Meier and went to the office of Shennong Fund. Introduce to Zhuang Menghua.

To be able to become a tiger mother in the future in the original time and space, Amy Chua is at least not an ordinary girl. Tang Huan asked about her grades,

Dang even nodded repeatedly, "As expected of my junior sister, she is really amazing. Amy, keep working hard and come to work in my company."

Regarding Tang Huan's all-encompassing, Amy Chua was noncommittal, and just asked playfully, "Brother, I heard that your master's degree is not so safe."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I chose to continue this school to deal with the elders." Tang Huan laughed awkwardly, and at the same time muttered in his heart, the little girls are so strong now, don't fall behind.

After meeting Zhuang Menghua and introducing them to both parties, Tang Huan made a point of explaining, "Don't be in a hurry to go back to the east coast, I'll see you off."

"You're so busy, don't end up with too little time and you won't be able to get away, making us wait in vain." Zhuang Menghua, who was unwilling to accept this arrangement, muttered.

"I just released the pigeons a few times, you cheapskate, why are you so obsessed with it?" Tang Huan laughed and rubbed Zhuang Menghua's little head a few times, making a mess of his hair, and then the girl She slipped away in the exasperated and coquettish voice.

...

Deng Lijun's tour, including two stops in Europe, has been successfully concluded in mid-August, and she is currently resting in Los Angeles.

Originally, Tang Huan thought that the symbolic significance of the two stops in London and Paris was greater than the actual significance, but on the contrary, in addition to the aura of a successful tour in North America, which further attracted the enthusiastic local Chinese, England was making a big fuss, suing the "Sun" Cristina, who was devastated, also came to appreciate it in person.

A fan of such a big name naturally attracted the attention of the mainstream media to the two concerts, and the greater sensational effect can be imagined.

According to the next plan, Deng Lijun's first stop in Asia is to record records in Japan, and at the same time make corresponding preparations for the Baodao concert.

However, seeing that it was already the end of the month, Deng Lijun, who was reluctant to stay away from the baby, refused to leave, so Tang Huan had to go to calm her down.

After seeing Deng Lijun who was full of worries, Tang Huan said carelessly, "Isn't there an old lady taking care of this, that is your own mother, so why don't you worry about it."

"Your heart is really hard." Deng Lijun snorted unhappily, with tears in her eyes.

Tang Huan rubbed his brows, "In this way, if we buy a villa in Xiangjiang, we won't have to worry about it when we move there, but we can't take it to Treasure Island, and if we get detained, I will cry to someone. "

"I know the stakes." Deng Lijun, who was smiling through tears, gave Tang Huan a blank look.

"I'm in a better mood. Would you like me to comfort you further?" Tang Huan hugged Deng Lijun, kissed Deng Lijun's earlobe, and murmured, "When you return to Asia, you will really attract the attention of thousands of people." , even if we can see each other from time to time, it’s not as free as here.”

"Then what are you waiting for?" Deng Lijun closed her eyes slightly, and kissed her soft lips emotionally.

...

When Mother Deng saw Tang Huan this time, she didn't show any face, but told him to take good care of her daughter, "Didn't you open companies in Baodao and Xiangjiang, and you happened to be able to send someone to help Li Jun."

"Mother-in-law, you can rest assured. If it weren't for Li Jun, I might not expand my business to Asia." Tang Huan, who was blushing, patted his chest and promised. "It's you, the old man, who takes care of the two babies alone, which makes me a little worried."

"Don't talk too much." Deng's mother snorted, "don't underestimate me as an old lady, Li Jun and their brothers and sisters were not brought up by me. Besides, isn't Xiao Wu going to college here? I come to take care of it every day."

"I'll have people come and ask me often." Tang Huan added to Deng Lijun with his head tilted, and then picked up his wine glass. Take a sip comfortably.

"I really don't understand the two of you. Now that you have established yourself in the United States, you don't have to worry about food or drink. What are you trying to do?" Mother Deng sighed.

"To conquer the world." Tang Huan laughed, raised his head and drank the brandy in the cup.

Deng Lijun, who was in a good mood, glanced at the man beside him, picked up the crystal glass, and took a sip of red wine tacitly.

"Crazy, it's better to stay away from my precious grandson so as not to infect them." Deng's mother, who was a little dizzy after being told, resignedly issued a final warning.

"Hey. You should respect the old man." Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a blank look.

"Yes, I know it's wrong, how about this, I'll punish you with a drink." Tang Huan admitted his mistake sincerely.

After drinking this glass of wine, Tang Huan made many more excuses to drink himself up, and finally fell down on the sofa, with a drunkenness, he said vaguely: "Mother-in-law, I'm a bit too drunk, and I can't even drive." Let’s go, let’s live here today.”

Deng's mother, who didn't know why at the beginning, suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that this bastard, just acting like that was just to find an excuse for himself to stay here and not leave, it was really unreasonable.

Seeing this scene, Deng Lijun laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, "Mom, if you want to fight Ah Huan, that's too far away."

"Smelly girl, she was eaten to death by others, there is not even a bone left, and she is still giggling." Mother Deng reprimanded angrily.

"I am willing." Deng Lijun retorted with a blushing face.

"I won't eat, because of you, my heart will be broken." Mother Deng put down her chopsticks angrily, got up and left.

"My mother has already left, so stop pretending." Deng Lijun stretched out her foot with a smile, and kicked Tang Huan.

"Really, the old lady finished her meal?" Tang Huan rubbed his eyes pretendingly, and sat up.

"You still pretend." Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a blank look, "Clean up the guest room by yourself, no one will help you."

"Understood, I dare not trouble you." Tang Huan quickly got off the sofa, put on his shoes, and went to arrange a place for himself.

...

For the next two days, Tang Huan and Deng Lijun put aside all the trivial matters, lived at home like ordinary couples, and took care of the baby together. art.

Finally, Deng Lijun, who was fully charged, took the miniature assistant team that Tang Huan provided her, and set off for Japan.

And Tang Huan was going back to San Francisco to send Amy Chua and Menghua Zhuang to Harvard University, and then to New York to stay there to watch the grand occasion of Apple's stock listing.

Tang Huan suddenly remembered Jodie Foster, and didn't know if she had gone to Yale University, so he found a phone and called, but the other party was about to leave at this time.

"Then why don't you go to San Francisco with me first, meet up with the other two girls, and walk together." Tang Huan extended an invitation.

"It's too troublesome, I can do it myself." Foster politely refused.

"Let's go together, we can also cover you as a star. Besides, don't you need ordinary friends for four years in college?" Tang Huan persuaded with a tongue.

"Okay." Foster was persuaded by Tang Huan in a few words, and agreed, "You come to pick me up."

When Tang Huan saw Foster dragging a suitcase, he was being pestered by a young man with a hippie smile.

Tang Huan identified it, and it turned out that this guy was Jodie Foster's brother Buddy Foster, who was also a child star and belonged to the beat generation of the United States.

In addition, Jodie Foster has two older sisters, Sandy Foster and Connie Foster.

After being abandoned by her husband, Jodie Foster’s mother, Evelyn, worked hard to raise her four children. Finally, relying on the children’s acting talent, she became a film producer, but this son is the last Let her worry.

"Judy. When did you have a boyfriend? Why don't I know." Tang Huan got out of the car and helped Judy Foster put the suitcase. asked Buddy Foster.

"Shut up." Jodie Foster slammed the car door shut, ignoring the older brother.

Buddy Foster became anxious immediately, and simply stood in front of the car, "Judy, if you don't lend me money, don't even think about leaving."

"Driving, this guy doesn't have the guts to block the road." Jodie Foster said angrily.

"That's not good, I'll send him away." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile. He picked up his wallet and got out of the car again, "Buddy, why are you asking for money so urgently?"

"I'm going to an important party, but money is tight." Buddy Foster answered casually, but when he saw Tang Huan open his wallet, revealing a wad of green dollar bills and various After the golden card, his breathing immediately became heavy and his eyes straightened. Muttering to himself: "It seems that Judy has found a very rich boyfriend."

"How much do you want?" Tang Huanyun asked calmly.

Buddy Foster was momentarily speechless with excitement. So he simply stretched out a slap, but it seemed that it was not satisfying, and then he raised the other hand and shook it a few times.

"Interesting." Tang Huan snapped his wallet shut, stretched out his finger to hook it, and said playfully, "It's not that I can't give you the money here, but first you have to have the ability to take it."

"Boy, do you know kung fu? I'm not a vegetarian either." After the initial dull expression, Buddy Foster recovered his lively eyes, danced and posed a few poses, as if he could see some of Bruce Lee's shadow.

"Don't just talk and don't practice." Tang Huan waved impatiently.

"Boy, don't cry for a while." After Buddy Foster finished warning, he feinted his right fist and kicked over.

This kind of trick is simply too weak. Tang Huan raised his leg and hooked it lightly, and Buddy Foster fell directly on his back.

However, this living thing reacted quite quickly, quickly got up, and launched a second wave of attacks, but he didn't dare to move his feet, but started boxing.

Tang Huan was like a cat playing with a mouse, holding Buddy Foster's wrist along the way, followed by Feiqi kicking him, kicking him like a dog.

"Buddy, believe it or not, I can decide which direction you will fall when lying on your stomach or lying down." Tang Huan said jokingly.

"Boy, don't be crazy." Buddy Foster, who was furious, fought back crazily, as if to beat the old master to death.

However, Buddy Foster's energy was quickly exhausted by Tang Huan's consecutive commands of "lay down" or "get down", and finally he lay on the ground sweating profusely, panting. Rough, play tricks.

Tang Huan took out the dollar from his wallet with a smile, leaned over and put it in Buddy Foster's hand, "Go get a new set of clothes, happy party."

"Judy's boyfriend, how about you teach me kung fu?" Buddy Foster, who got the money, immediately revived on the spot with blood and blue, and got up.

"Your body and bones have long been washed out and turned into scraps." Tang Huan threw down a sentence that hit Buddy Foster so hard that he almost vomited blood, started the car and left.

"Since you've taught him a lesson, what's the point of giving him the money to drink and drink?" Judy Foster, who was smiling like a flower just now, asked sullenly.

"For a cynical person like Buddy, if he is pushed too hard, it may backfire and cause some trouble. They are young people anyway, so it's okay to give him some room to advance and retreat." Tang Huan shook his head disapprovingly. Shake your head.

"This guy is hopeless." Judy Foster asked Tang Huan after muttering, "How much money did you give Buddy just now, I will pay you back for him."

"Forget it, I didn't make a detailed count just now. If you are really sorry, you can find a time to buy me a meal to offset it." Tang Huan refused with a slight smile.

"I won't accept your favor." Foster unceremoniously gave Tang Huan a supercilious look.

...

When they arrived in San Francisco, they joined Amy Chua and Menghua Zhuang and looked at the three high-IQ girls dragging suitcases. Tang Huan couldn't help expressing emotion, "This is really getting together to go to the Ivy League."

"If you think it's troublesome, you can stay and rest." Zhuang Menghua glanced at Foster while talking.

"It's the same as herding a sheep, and it's the same as herding a group of sheep. It doesn't matter because of the economies of scale." Tang Huan laughed loudly, which made the three girls cut at the same time.

According to Zhuang Menghua's proposal, the four of them first went to Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, to help Foster settle down.

According to the little girl, in the past year, she has been busy with her homework. Although Harvard University is not far from Yale University, she has never visited it on purpose. Now that Tang Huan, a free laborer, is with her, she can't miss it. This opportunity.

On the third day, Tang Huan bid farewell to Foster and brought Amy Chua and Menghua Zhuang to Harvard University.

At this time, Zhuang Menghua assumed the responsibility of the guide, and Tang Huan felt a little more relaxed.

And Apple's launch date is on Friday of this week, that is, September 12th, which is a full three months earlier than the original time and space. This is of course influenced by Tang Huan.

Seeing that Tang Huan's phone calls began to increase, Zhuang Menghua and Cai Meier thoughtfully drove him away.

After arriving in New York, Tang Huan met Markkula who also came to watch Apple's first-day event. However, Jobs, who suddenly put on airs, did not appear, and seemed to be showing some kind of general style with a well-thought-out plan.

Regarding this, Tang Huan smiled privately with disdain. Brother, an old fritter with two lives, is enough to be seen widely, but when he thinks that the time is approaching, his heartbeat still inevitably speeds up. Why are you so reserved. What's more, you are not a technical genius like Woz.

In order to calm his emotions, Tang Huan decided to invite a confidante to relieve his tension, so he thought of Lin Qingxia, who had just received a new script and was thinking about it carefully. (To be continued..)
