Those years when I raised bosses

Is this an unexpected "surprise"?It turned out to be a mobile vendor selling pirated CDs.Why do you dress up so abnormally? Is it because you are afraid of being ashamed if you see your true face?Don't sell love, love, and action movies if you lose face.

Tong Tong put on a rare cold and proud face, and didn't take offense, and glanced at the colorful and unscrupulous disc covers, even if one or two of them were operating system office software, obviously there was none.Turn around and prepare to go down to the third floor. Anyway, there are other stairs, so just don't get entangled with this weird person.

But the small vendor actually followed up and tried to sell: "Dude, don't be shy, besides these, there are many newer products in the place where I live, and I haven't had time to catch them. Whichever test piece you like on the spot, you will definitely find something that will satisfy you. of."

"Do you have a cracked version of the 2000 system, or M's office series? Do you have the sps statistical software or..." In order to get rid of this person, Tong Tong deliberately mentioned the name of the more advanced and high-end office software in this era. It's just a seller of colored CDs. Most of them don't understand this set, so they can be persuaded to quit in time.

Unexpectedly, the small vendor was still reluctant to give up, but his demeanor was different in a trance, and his tone was much more serious than before: "Sir, at first glance, you are a decent person who has studied and learned, and the latest office software I have is indeed Yes. But you need to record the cracked version. If you are interested, come to my place and I will make it for you."

How could it be possible for Tong Tong to go to the place where he lived with a strange man, and said with a wary face: "Why do I have to buy yours? There are also quite a few serious and fixed stalls in this building. It's not that no one sells the cracked version?"

The small vendor rarely straightened his back, and said triumphantly: "90% of the cracked versions sold here are made by me before. Now I not only make the system, but also integrate common office software together, and install it with one click on a CD. , no one is on duty. A fool can install it by himself when he buys it back.”

"..." Tong Tongxin said, do you look like a fool?However, this small vendor feels that it should be a technical stream, and he can optimize and improve it, bundle and integrate software, and continue to introduce new ones.Or, go to the place where he lives, in case you can find some good things?Anyway, he is already a boy, and he has a strong body bone trained by moving bricks on the construction site, bending steel bars with his hands, breaking boulders in his mouth, and so on, so he won't suffer easily.

Tong Tong thought for a moment, and finally followed the small vendor down the stairs, turned around and entered the basement of an old residential area nearby, and kept track of the way Tong Tong came and went while walking, in case something went wrong, run quickly.

Near Guanzhong Village, there are a batch of unit dormitories built in the 90s, most of which have basements.In the early years, these basements were small welfare warehouses for residents upstairs. Later, with the rise of several nearby electronic cities, the floating population gradually increased, and the basements were transformed one after another. With a dozen partition boards and an iron canopy bed, it became a Inexpensive studio room that sees no light.

No matter how small the single room is, it is still a single room, which is more upscale than a shared bed, at least you can have your own private space when you close the door.

This itinerant peddler lives in such a small underground single room.And it seems that the time of living is not short, and there are a lot of sundries piled up inside and outside the door.

When entering the house, the door must be closed so that people can turn around.If two more come in, the door won't even close.

The small space is unobstructed, fully revealing the income level and taste of the host family. Cardboard boxes full of CDs are labeled by category, and unopened instant noodles of various flavors are piled up from the ground to the roof.What is pasted on the wall is not the calendar beauties that single young men like most, but sheets of white A4 copy paper with various programming language codes densely written on them. Next to the codes are a bunch of the latest programming textbooks, and even There are one or two original English editions.

Tong Tong was immediately in awe. From this point of view, he was a mobile vendor with talent, skills and pursuit, and he must not be underestimated.

The man entered the room, took off his hat, sunglasses and mask, and took off the specially modified long windbreaker, revealing the short-sleeved vest inside and his fairly upright face.

If it weren't for the codes all over the wall that caught Tong Tong's gaze and settled his mind, just looking at the (abnormal) attitude of this person taking off his clothes as soon as he entered the door, the generally timid would not dare to stay for a long time.

When those cover-ups were gone, and after adapting to the dim light in the room, Tong Tong actually felt that the other person's face was so familiar.

Come to think of it, this person looks like Luo Daqian, a young version with hair!That will be the god-level "Godfather" of the Internet 20 years later!Those who are engaged in IT in China, who hasn't read a few programming textbooks written by Luo Daqian before entering the industry?If only the programming skills are superb, it is not enough to describe Luo Daqian's strength.He is based on technology, but he does not only do technology, but leads the trend of the times with advanced thinking, directly shaping the three views of a generation of IT people.He not only developed in the Internet field, but also moved to the mobile phone side with the times, turning many classic applications of the previous web version into popular apps.

Such a boss, in 2002, was actually a mobile vendor who lived in the basement and sold pirated CDs?

"Luo..." Tong Tong just said.

Luo Daqian was startled suddenly, and asked nervously with panic on his face, "You know me?"

Tong Tong quickly shook his head in denial: "I don't know!"

This is typical nonsense with your eyes open.Tong Tong knew Luo Daqian, of course he did.Before crossing, Tong Tong raised money from this big man who has become a god to invest in a science and technology company, and later that company was acquired by a certain treasure with more than one billion yuan.Even Luo Daqian made a lot of money.That was one of Tong Tong's wonderful investment achievements in his past life.However, it took a lot of time and effort to convince this boss to pay the money obediently. In order to have a common language with this boss and not be scorned and picky, Tong Tong also learned about the ancient programming language as he liked. And the history of the development of the Internet in China.

I really never expected that heroes also had their downfalls back then.

"Brother, you said just now that you have the latest system, which is also bundled with various office software, can you demonstrate it? I originally purchased computers for the company. If the software is really good, I will definitely need it." Tong Tong Tong stabilized his mind in time and returned to the topic, but he was thinking about how to make friends with Luo Daqian.The friendship that helps each other at the last minute is more durable and strong than the connections that are piled up with money in the dinner party.

Luo Daqian saw that the other party had a sincere face, and his words were normal. He didn't seem to be looking for trouble, and his attitude was a little more relaxed than before, but he still persuaded: "It's better to use the genuine version when buying software for the company?"

Tong Tong nodded, thinking to himself why he couldn't make any money, so he took the initiative to persuade customers to buy genuine copies. It seems that although this boss is doing a pirated business, he still longs for a regular business in his heart: "Yes, we are regular The company should indeed use genuine software. However, installing the system and software is very troublesome, and we plan to buy assembled compatible machines to save costs. Generally, such machines do not have genuine software pre-installed like branded machines.”

Luo Daqian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This matter is easy to handle. I will help you install the software. If you are building a computer in the electronic city, I will serve you nearby. How many do you want? I will go to the scene with you and fix the software by the way." Yes, you can take it away."

"Then how do you charge for the software installation service?" Tong Tong asked politely.

Luo Daqian finally relaxed now.Generally, people who come to Guanzhong Village to buy laptops are mainly individuals and small companies. They save the laptops themselves. They usually don’t ask others for money to install software.To save trouble, the bosses in the shop directly look for the prepared system disk, especially the system disk that may be bundled with junk software and viruses.There are relatively few people with real technology and proficiency in both software and hardware. Of course, this kind of half-baked people will not ask to install software and charge for it.

The handsome guy in front of him is already a conscientious customer who realizes that he needs to pay for software installation.Luo Daqian thought for a while and said, "How about this machine in my room?"

Tong Tong saw a Guoben machine on the only desk in the house. There was no protective plate on one side of the huge ancient case. Inside, the motherboard, graphics card, memory, various hardware and cables were neatly arranged, and there was another machine outside. A small household fan keeps blowing on the entire case.On the side of the main box is a bulky big head display, and next to it is a CD burner, which is connected into the box with an external cable.

Luo Daqian proudly introduced: "The configuration of my machine is definitely the best in Guanzhong Village, and the hardware will be replaced with the latest hardware every three to five months to maintain the fastest speed of the machine. It's okay, why don't you think it's cheaper, you tell me about the configuration, I'll help you install the software on the machine, one set will charge you 200 yuan, and three sets will charge you 500 yuan, what do you think? Don't think it's expensive, as long as it's in my hands The software I make must be easy to use, and it will not be bundled with garbage and viruses. If there is any problem with the software and hardware during use, I will come to repair it for free, and the warranty will be three years."

"Why only three years?" Tong Tong asked deliberately.

Luo Daqian probably heard this kind of question too much, and he was not impatient, and explained seriously: "Now the hardware is updated quickly, and the performance will double in theory in the first half of the year. A motherboard can't keep up with the speed after a year or two. Three years is too long, and I’m just bragging about my honesty. Those fixed booths are only guaranteed for one year. Especially for compatible machines, once something goes wrong, everyone argues with each other, saying that it’s not the fault of their own accessories. At that time, there was no If someone repairs your computer, wouldn’t you be caught blind? Are you a private company? Big state-owned enterprises buy brand-name phones directly, and their brand-name phones are slender. Dare to say that they have been available for five years, and you get what you pay for.”

"Yes, we are a small company, and there is no position to hire full-time computer maintenance personnel. Your suggestion is very good. I want 3 machines here, and the configuration of 1 machine is best for running 3D rendering and watching DVDs. Yes, 2 sets of high-end models that are popular nowadays, and it will take three years to keep accounts and make watches.” Tong Tong said while taking out 500 yuan in cash, “Let’s go, now take me to build a machine.”

Luo Daqian took the money with a burst of excitement, hid the one hundred in his trouser pocket, held up the other four and said, "Wait a while, I'll go to renew the electricity bill... I owe the landlord almost two months and won't pay the electricity bill. Just pull the brakes."
