Chapter Eight Meeting the Elders
During the period of traveling with Deng Lijun, Tang Huan did not get lost in the gentle countryside, he still used his spare time to do a lot of serious business.
The biggest achievement is to sort out a set of macro assembly language platform, which is named MA, which is the abbreviation of MacroAssemble. It is a new product born after Tang Huan absorbed many of the most successful features of assembly language in the DOS era in the previous life. In the future, it will be used as Zerone The mainstream environment for software development.
In addition, Tang Huan thought of another way to cooperate with Apple, which is to provide support for languages with other alphabets that are widely used, such as French, to help Apple's second-generation machines further open up the European market. After all, every time Apple sells more If you buy a computer, your income will increase by one point accordingly.
In fact, in just one month, the newly formed company Zerone has already turned its products into the standard configuration of Apple computers. In April, Apple’s shipments easily exceeded 6,000, almost every All Apple computers sold were required to be bundled with the $100 official version of CGrid, and the proportion of the $500 display enhancement card was not much lower. The market response was extremely hot.
In the first month of Zerone's establishment, sales steadily exceeded $3 million, which is a miracle for similar companies.
Now Tang Huan's top priority for the company is to produce dot matrix printers suitable for microcomputers as soon as possible. In this way, the entire closed office solution will be released, and the threshold for competitors to participate will be virtually raised. up.
...
Back in San Francisco, after sending Deng Lijun to her residence, Deng's mother immediately scolded her daughter as a crazy girl, but she was very polite to Tang Huan.
After putting down all the presents, Tang Huan rubbed his hands and smiled before saying anything, "Auntie, I'm going to take Li Jun to meet my aunt later, do you have anything to order?"
Deng's mother was taken aback when she heard the words, "It's so urgent, the journey is exhausting, don't you need to rest?"
"Not tired, we are all ready in advance." Deng Lijun hurriedly replied.
Mother Deng nodded, "Xiao Tang, sit down and drink tea, and I'll tell her a few words."
After speaking, Deng's mother pulled Deng Lijun into the bedroom, and asked with a serious face: "Be honest, how far has your relationship progressed these days? You haven't done anything outrageous."
Deng Lijun blushed and said coyly: "Is there anything wrong with that, aren't you coming back to meet your parents?"
Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, seeing Deng Lijun's expression, Deng's mother guessed what happened, and said sadly: "Since you started singing, I have been with you and protected you. I didn't expect such a negligence. It was taken advantage of by others, Tang Huan is a loyal outsider and a traitor at the inside, he is so worthless, how could the marriage matter be so hasty."
Deng Lijun took her mother's hand and shook it, "Don't speak so harshly, I am an adult and have my own judgment. I can feel how Tang Huan treats me, so don't worry."
Deng's mother sighed helplessly, "Now that's the case, then see the parents as soon as possible, be careful with your words and deeds, don't be crazy."
"Got it." Deng Lijun dragged her voice coquettishly, and kissed her mother's face.
Seeing Deng's mother returning to the living room with a normal expression, Tang Huan felt relieved. It seemed that this test had passed. He was indeed a little anxious before, but if he didn't take advantage of this juncture to start early, he would miss this village. this shop
Must kill decisively.
"Xiao Tang, you guys go. By the way, you can see when it is convenient. Ask your aunt out and have tea together."
Tang Huan was ecstatic, "Auntie, it's easy to say, I will arrange for you two elders to meet tomorrow."
Seeing Tang Huan's impatient look, Deng's mother shook her head with a smile, and the trace of unhappiness in her heart gradually disappeared.
Aunt Tang Yun had already communicated with her on the phone in advance. Tang Huan brought Deng Lijun over to visit the meeting very smoothly, and it was agreed that the two elders would meet at their restaurant tomorrow.
"This is a family letter from the mainland, you can take a look." Tang Yun pointed to a postal bag and said.
Tang Huan opened the mail bag and saw that there were several letters in different thicknesses, written by relatives such as grandfather, aunt, and little cousin.
In fact, Tang Huan's mother is his grandfather's niece, and his real grandparents died long before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but everyone's family relationship is still thicker than water.
The first thing Tang Huan read was the little cousin's letter, the content must be relaxed and pleasant, while the elder's letter was full of meaning, so naturally he had to leave it behind for careful consideration.
Deng Lijun's singing is now popular in mainland China, and my little cousin is a fan of Deng Lijun. After writing nonsense in the letter, she angrily mentioned that the tape she finally got was confiscated by the teacher at school.
"Here, take a look at this letter. Don't look at you being banned now, but in the mainland, your songs are very popular." Tang Huan handed the letter to Deng Lijun casually.
"Really?" Deng Lijun didn't believe it, took the letter paper and read it carefully.
My aunt's letter contained the short content of the parents' letter. She introduced the current situation of the family in detail. Everyone is in good health, and the due treatment has been restored, and the work is normal.
Although my grandfather was busy with official duties, he also wrote a letter. Although it was the thinnest, it undoubtedly had the heaviest weight. Some contents should be calmed down and savored carefully. Because of the special identity of the writer of this letter, Tang Huan kept it alone, and did not let his aunt and Deng Lijun share the contents.
"I didn't expect that the mainland would welcome my song so much. I really want to go to the opening concert and then go to my hometown." Deng Lijun read the letter from her little cousin several times and said yearningly.
Hearing this, Tang Huan smiled wryly to himself, but remained silent.
Tang Yun took off her presbyopic glasses, and said to the two of them: "Recently, the Chinese newspapers here have mentioned a lot of gossip about Lijun, even you mentioned it, and it even spread to Xiangjiang on the other side of the ocean. You don't want to If it only causes troubles, then you should keep a low profile when traveling and behaving normally.”
Tang Huan hummed disapprovingly, "For the sake of sales, these newspapers will of course squeeze Lijun's news value. After a while, the influence of Lijun's tour will pass, and they will naturally ignore us."
Deng Lijun gently pulled Tang Huan, and said softly: "Auntie, I will go to the University of California to attend classes in a few days, and I will definitely avoid the media then."
Tang Yun showed admiration on her face, "Li Jun is still sensible."
...
The elders of both sides met the next day, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Tang Huan handed over a gift agreement of 10% of Zerone's shares prepared in advance to Deng Lijun in front of Deng's mother, "I am still a poor boy, but I promise to give these shares as quickly as possible. Appreciation, Li Jun will follow me, and will definitely not live a hard life."
Deng's mother nodded with a smile, admiring Tang Huan's courageous demeanor.
In fact, since becoming famous, Deng Lijun has accumulated a lot of net worth. This time she took refuge in the United States. At first, the mother and daughter lived in a friend's house, but soon bought a house by themselves. Deng's mother really didn't understand the value of Tang Huan's gift of shares.
Tang Yun explained lightly: "Although Tang Huan's company has just been established, its performance is very good. The sales in April have exceeded three million US dollars, which is much higher than the profits of the restaurants in my hands. The future Unlimited."
Deng's mother was taken aback when she heard this, "What kind of company makes so much money?"
"A high-tech company, a product invented by Tang Huan in college. In fact, the reason why Tang Huan was so anxious to let us meet was because he wanted to settle down and start a business without delay. With Li Jun, he can concentrate on taking care of the business."
Deng's mother nodded again and again suddenly, and said with a smile: "I asked my family to apply for visas to come to the United States as soon as possible, and arrange the marriage of the two of them as soon as possible."
