Zhang Zhonghua was a little confused when he heard what little Watson said. Where is this going? I'll talk to you about cooperation, and you talk to me about food.
Well, my hot summer food is really charming. Once I accept the hot summer food, I will never be able to live without it again.
"If there are enough ingredients here, I will be very happy to help you. After all, food is one of my biggest hobbies."
Zhang Zhonghua said to little Watson very politely.
"Yes, yes, yes, since the last time I ate the hot summer delicacies you cooked at your residence, I have fallen deeply in love with the hot summer delicacies. Now our IBM cafeteria has begun to provide Chinese food to company employees."
When little Watson heard that Zhang Zhonghua agreed to cook, he immediately said with great joy that he no longer cares about whether Zhang Zhonghua is a guest or not. He must eat Zhang Zhonghua's delicious food again. As Thomas Watson said, even Jesus can't stop him!
!!
"No problem, Yanxia has eight major cuisines with thousands of dishes. Yanxia cuisine is extensive and profound, and I have only mastered a part of it. If you have the chance to go to Yanxia, you will be reluctant to come back. However, let's talk about business now!"
After the two briefly chatted for a few words, Watson took Zhang Zhonghua and walked towards the IBM laboratory. Zhang Long was holding a box of tapes next to him.
He understood that Zhang Zhonghua was here to do business, not to hang out. He should finish the business first.
Under the leadership of Watson Jr., Zhang Zhonghua walked into a room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a supercomputer. It was a super huge supercomputer. The mechanical hard disk occupied more than several cubic meters of space.
Little Watson was very satisfied when he saw Zhang Zhonghua's shocked expression, and introduced with a smile:
"This is the latest supercomputer developed by IBM. It is extremely close to the 16-bit central processing unit. The storage space of the hard disk is as high as 10g. Of course, the cost is also very expensive. The price of one computer is as high as 60 million US dollars."
Zhang Zhonghua was indeed a little shocked when he looked at this computer, but he was also shocked by the price and size. Although the configuration is not even as good as later smartphones, it is definitely the best in the world now, and it can be considered a super super computer.
"IBM's technology is indeed amazing, it completely dominates the world."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
In the future, all USB flash drives will be 32g, and the cost of this 10g mechanical hard drive will be 20 million US dollars. The technological progress in the past few decades is unimaginable.
"Dear Zhang, what software did you bring me this time?"
Little Watson looked at the tape in the box and asked curiously.
"I developed a banking system for my bank, but the current multics system is too difficult to use, so I thought about developing a server system myself.
After much hard work, I found that the current computer language could not meet my requirements, so I developed a computer language C language by myself, and then used the ix system I developed."
Zhang Zhonghua introduced his purpose politely and said the most awesome words in the calmest tone!
Zhang Zhonghua gave himself full marks for this awesome guy. Any less points would be a blasphemy for this awesome guy. In order to develop a server system, he re-developed a computer language, which is unique in the world.
Zhang Zhonghua's return made little Watson confused, and thoughts popped into his head
Damn it, who am I? Where am I? All the experts in the laboratory were shocked and confused. Everyone can understand if you develop a banking system, but if you want to develop a server operating system, okay, we admit it, but you
Developing a new language is terrifying.
Dear Zhang, I know you are a great master, but are you serious about developing a new computer language for a banking system?
The next step is to research a new computer if you feel that the performance of the IBM computer cannot meet your requirements.
The pride of experts like IBM was bruised and bruised, and they truly felt the differences in the world.
Even little Watson began to doubt life. In recent years, various new computer languages have emerged one after another. However, Zhang Zhonghua actually developed a new computer language and operating system for a banking system. He is simply inhumane.
Little Watson took Zhang Zhonghua to another laboratory, and then ordered these experts to install new computer languages and operating systems. That supercomputer worth 60 million US dollars did not dare to mess around. It was okay to pretend to be cool and mess around.
forget it.
Soon the ix system developed by Zhang Zhonghua was successfully installed on the new large industrial machine, and Zhang Zhonghua also breathed a long sigh of relief.
This system is very simple. The only troublesome thing is that the tape copying took half an hour, but the system installation only took five minutes.
This is why IBM sells compression software so expensively. The current memory is really bad.
"Let me show you the unix operating system first."
Zhang Zhonghua came to the computer and danced his hands quickly on the keyboard, demonstrating the powerful functions of the Unix system to the people in the room.
The Unix system is small and takes up very little space on the computer. It occupies fewer resources on the computer and runs a super process on the computer.
The experts in the laboratory were deeply stimulated as they watched Zhang Zhonghua's hands typing on the keyboard very fast. How many years has he been single with this speed?
At the same time, IBM's experts were also impressed by the powerful functions and performance of the Unix system. The Unix system was born for IBM, and this system is too awesome.
Is this really developed for the banking system? This system can fully meet the needs of all industries.
"The Unix system is structurally divided into two parts: core program and peripheral program, and the two are organically combined into a whole. The core part is responsible for the functions of each module within the system, namely processor and process management, storage management, device management and file management.
system……"
Zhang Zhonghua began to introduce the characteristics of the Unix system to these experts. He had to satisfy the curiosity of these experts first. He was very satisfied when he saw the adoring eyes of these experts.
"The file system of the Unix system is a tree structure, which consists of a basic file system and several removable sub-file systems, which can not only expand file storage space, but also facilitate security and confidentiality;
The Unix system handles files, file directories and devices in a unified manner. It treats files as character streams without any records for sequential or random access;
Unix systems also provide simple communication functions between processes."
An expert quickly understood the characteristics of the unix system and began to introduce it to Watson. He introduced the various advantages of the unix system. The final conclusion was that the unix system is currently the best system and is very suitable for IBM's industrial machines.
.
After hearing this, little Watson took a deep breath.
Zhang Zhonghua is really a super genius. He was born for computers. Even compared with Mr. Turing, he is not inferior at all.
"I will show you C language again. The reason why it is called C language is because I was not very satisfied with B language before, so I improved it again on the basis of B language, so it is called C language."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Then Zhang Zhonghua began to use C language to perform various operations in front of a group of IBM experts, and casually wrote several small programs. The power of C language was clearly demonstrated by Zhang Zhonghua.
"C language is a process-oriented, abstract general-purpose programming language that is widely used in low-level development. C language can be compiled in a simple way and handle low-level memory."
Zhang Zhonghua once again introduced the powerful functions of the C language. If you want to promote C, you cannot do without the support of IBM.
After Zhang Zhonghua demonstrated the main functions of the ix system, he left behind a group of confused IBM executives and computer experts and took IBM staff to the Chinese canteen. He would not participate in the rest of the time. IBM executives needed time to take care of themselves.
Discuss and study.
Tens of thousands of employees work together at the IBM headquarters. There are dozens of canteens of various sizes, including many specialty restaurants from around the world.
Zhang Zhonghua saw many specialty restaurants from East Asian countries, such as Japanese cuisine, Indian cuisine, Malaysian cuisine, etc. The only pity is that there is no Bangzi kimchi from the most powerful country in the world.
However, South Korea is currently in dire straits and is still recovering from the war. It was only after 1985 that it really took off. With the economic boom, all the Korean food in this small country went global.
Zhang Zhonghua strolled to the Chinese canteen and saw twenty or thirty chefs busy. However, Zhang Zhonghua realized after a while that their cooking skills had changed to adapt to the taste of the ugly people.
Zhang Zhonghua was not polite and directly took over the kitchen and began to guide these chefs carefully. It would be good to promote Chinese food at the IBM headquarters. The popularity of anything comes from the top down. Of course, Zhang Zhonghua does not expect these foreigners to use it.
chopsticks.
And here are dozens of experts in the laboratory gathered in front of several screens, discussing intensely, and looking at the source code of the two programs, all the experts were deeply impressed.
Little Watson also understood at this time that the source code provided by the ix system is simply packaged and not encrypted. It is understandable that the C language is source code, but does the Unix system also have to be provided for free to everyone?
"Chairman, the performance of the Unix system is ten times better than the current Multics system, and it can be applied to almost all industries. This should be the best operating system currently."
IBM chief architect said.
"So, the market prospect of this operating system is very good?"
Computer systems are really expensive and can be more expensive than all software. An excellent operating system is simply a golden mountain.
"Yes, the new computer language developed by Mr. Zhang is also very powerful. It can run smoothly without any additional hardware support. The Unix system also has good support for other languages."
Little Watson would not think that Zhang Zhonghua forgot to encrypt the Unix system, even if it was to promote the ix system for a fee.
This time, little Watson couldn't understand Zhang Zhonghua. He couldn't understand what Zhang Zhonghua was thinking.
At noon, a group of IBM executives and experts left the laboratory and went to the Chinese cafeteria. Zhang Zhonghua also prepared several large pot dishes, including fish-flavored shredded pork, Mushu pork, Kung Pao chicken, vinegar-stewed potato shreds and six other home-cooked dishes.
By the way, I picked up a group of boys in the cafeteria.
Chinese food still shocked these experts. Some people liked Chinese food for the first time. Of course, some people were not used to it. However, Zhang Zhonghua felt that using a fork to pick up food was a bit unhygienic.
After the meal, Zhang Zhonghua, Little Watson and others came to a spacious conference room. After eating and drinking, it was time to talk about business. After all, everyone was very busy.
"Zhang, I wonder what your plans are?"
Little Watson asked.
"I plan to make the unix system I developed completely free and open source, so that I can attract more companies, scientific research institutions and universities to join in to improve and promote the unix system.
There are too many computer operating systems in the world today. Every country and industry basically has its own operating system, and even many large group companies have their own operating systems. This brings a lot of trouble to software development.
Conducive to the development of the computer industry.
If everyone works together to improve an open source system, it will definitely bring more convenience to hardware and software developers, and the computer industry can also develop faster."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
Zhang Zhonghua definitely does not have the ability to promote Unix systems, so he needs to look to your allies. Without the support of hardware giants, he can only play stand-alone, so Zhang Zhonghua focused on IBM.
As for charging, don't think about it. Free promotion is very difficult. If you charge, it will simply add congestion to the promotion system.
Only by using it for free can you clean up all kinds of other messy systems. However, you will also offend many companies, and the cake that touches other people's interests will also become the public enemy of many companies, so you need more support.
Zhang Zhonghua made enemies at the expense of his own interests in order to advance the world's computer technology and benefit the majority of computer practitioners around the world, which should have brought him great fame.
Is there a free lunch in the world? Of course there is, but all free things have a price hidden in the dark.
Later generations have proved a truth, that is, free things are often the most expensive.
Watson Jr. and many IBM computer engineers were shocked by Zhang Zhonghua. This spirit of selfless dedication is truly remarkable. He sacrifices personal interests to benefit computer practitioners around the world. This spirit can really make many people feel ashamed.
"Zhang, you are a great computer practitioner. We at IBM are the first to join your Unix Association. IBM will vigorously develop and promote the Unix system and strive to promote the advancement of computer technology for all mankind."
Little Watson said with some excitement, but this excitement was fleeting.
After all, Watson is a businessman. Although he is moved by Zhang Zhonghua's selfless dedication and is willing to join the Unix Association, he will also organize IBM to organize a team to study two programs as soon as possible. If he launches a more complete system earlier, he can
Seize the market early and completely defeat those competitors.
