"IBM has always been committed to promoting the development of global computers and making great contributions to the scientific and technological progress of all mankind. Compared with your company, what I have done is nothing more than a trivial matter."
Zhang Zhonghua
Zhang Zhonghua also had a round of business bragging towards little Watson. As the saying goes, it's a good job to carry people in a sedan chair. Business bragging, I can brag to the point where you doubt your life.
"Hahaha, we all contribute to the scientific and technological progress of mankind, and history will remember us."
The two exchanged a few words of business talk and were moved by their noble sentiments. The high prices of their own products and software were completely ignored by the two.
"As for the C language, I will recruit some computer elites and academic institutions to work together to develop and improve it.
Personal use is free, commercial use will be authorized, and the profits will be used to maintain c's schedule operations."
Zhang Zhonghua is planning to make money by commercially licensing the C language. As long as the earth is not destroyed, the C language will not be free.
Thinking about the billions of computer users around the world in the future, Zhang Zhonghua is very excited about the profits brought by commercial companies developing C language software.
"This is right. The company also needs funds to operate. However, our IBM company may need half a month to study the ix system. I don't know when Zhang is going to hold a press conference."
Little Watson asked.
"The specific time will be decided by IBM, but I hope IBM can come forward to invite some university professors and some well-known computer experts to hold a press conference."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
We are seeking help from IBM. Who has allowed IBM to be alone in the world and unable to find even a worthy competitor? When we really encounter a competitor with our hands in our pockets, we don’t know what to call an opponent.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. When IBM wants me to hold a press conference, then I will hold a press conference.
Little Watson feels that two months is almost enough. IBM will use these two months to make some adjustments to allow IBM's perfectly supported ix system to run. Only in this way can IBM defeat its competitors.
"There is absolutely no problem with this. IBM will contact the National Computer Society, Bell Labs and other scientific research institutions, and the university will invite professors from Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Princeton and other universities to conduct research together. Well, this is a possibility
It will take some time, probably two months."
"Two months? No problem, then we will have a happy cooperation."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
So many world-renowned universities have joined in, all with the authoritative help of C language and ubix system promotion. There is strength in numbers.
“A pleasure to work with!”
After confirming the cooperation, Zhang Zhonghua chatted with Watson for a while and left IBM headquarters.
Although ix system is free for personal use, you must use disk copy. Disks are not cheap, and just selling the disks is a huge profit.
After Zhang Zhonghua rested at home for two days, he took a plane from New York on the east coast of the country to San Francisco on the west coast across the entire country.
The San Francisco area has a Mediterranean climate, with warm winters and cool summers, plenty of sunshine and is suitable for living. It is also close to many national parks and is known as "the most popular city among American people".
The Spanish discovered this place in 1769.
San Francisco joined the Union in 1848.
It developed rapidly during the gold rush in the mid-19th century and was later renamed "San Francisco" to distinguish it from Melbourne, Australia.
San Francisco, also translated as "San Francisco", is the largest port city on the Pacific coast of California, a world-famous tourist destination, and the fourth most populous city in California.
San Francisco is adjacent to the world-famous technology industry area Silicon Valley. It is one of the world's important semiconductor and computer technology research and development bases, an important financial center on the west coast of the United States, and the birthplace of the United Nations.
In the future, one-fifth of the entire population of San Francisco will be of Yanxia descent, making it the city with the second largest number and largest proportion of Yanxia Americans in the country.
Zhang Zhonghua walked out of San Francisco International Airport with security guards. The warm sunshine shone on his body, making people feel very comfortable. It was really a good place for sunshine, beach, and bikini, but the season was not right.
The temperature in San Francisco is indeed good. No wonder so many top universities have established branch campuses in San Francisco.
Zhang Zhonghua led a group of security personnel in a car and drove towards Ghirardelli Square in the northern waters of San Francisco, and arrived at the most famous Pier 39 in San Francisco - Fisherman's Wharf.
Many shopping malls and restaurants in San Francisco are located in the Fisherman's Wharf area with convenient transportation, and many local restaurants offer a variety of seafood.
Attractions in the Fisherman's Wharf area include the San Francisco Marine National Historical Park, Ghirardelli Square and the Mechanical Museum. Many large-scale events are also held in the Fisherman's Wharf area, including the Fourth of July fireworks show.
"Boss, there are so many people here in the hot summer. It feels no less than Chinatown in New York."
Zhang Long looked at the people who passed by Yan Xia's appearance from time to time and said.
"That's for sure. In the beginning, San Francisco was the place most visited by Yanxia people in Chou Country. During the Qing Dynasty, many Yanxia people came here to pan for gold, so many Yanxia people called this place Jinshan.
Later, after China’s Chinese Exclusion Act was promulgated, the hot summer people here began to migrate to New York in the east, gradually forming New York’s Chinatown, and the non-hot summer people were scattered throughout the country.”
Zhang Zhonghua explained.
"These Ugly people are really hateful. They are lazy and ostracizing people in the summer. The east-west railway in Ugly is really long."
"The distance between the eastern part of the country and the western part of California is more than 4,500 kilometers. Before the completion of the Central Pacific Railway in 1869, the east and west parts of the country were blocked by mountains and deserts, making it impossible to reach directly from the east to the west.
The Panama Canal was not open at the time, so Chinese people from New York to San Francisco would have to take a boat around Cape Horn in South America, and the minimum travel time would be as long as six months.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At that time, there was no transportation line connecting the east and west of the country. People in the east had to risk a lot of life and property to get to the west. At the same time, the rich products of California in the west were also very
It is difficult to transport it to the east.
Due to geographical and transportation reasons, the western region has become a relatively independent region of the country. Not only has its economic development been greatly affected, it has also become a huge hidden danger to the country's stability and unity.
The Chinese government later realized the great significance of transportation in promoting people's exchanges and economic integration, and decided to build a railway hub across the east and west continents of the American country.
In 1862, President Lincoln approved the Pacific Railroad Construction Act, which stipulated that the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Central Pacific Railroad Company would jointly build the Pacific Railroad across the East and West continents.
The terrain in the east is dominated by plains, while the west faces mostly towering mountains and a harsh climate. The section from the west to the east was the most difficult project from the beginning. First, in front of them was the Sierra Nevada Mountains with an altitude of 2,100 meters.
The 40-mile railway runs through high mountains and mountains, and at least 50 bridges and more than 10 tunnels must be built to connect it.
The construction conditions of the railway were extremely difficult. Not long after the construction started, hundreds of workers sneaked away to join the gold rush. The slow progress almost bankrupted the project contractor.
At first, it was easy to find road construction workers, and large numbers of Irish arrived in San Francisco every day looking for work.
But these Irish people were simply unable to adapt to the dangerous and exhausting road construction project. Irish employees drank alcohol, fought, and continued to demand higher wages, resulting in slow progress of the project.
Less than 50 miles of track were laid in two years, and white workers often went on strike.
Finally, the top executives of the Central Pacific Railroad Company suggested hiring Chinese workers. Since then, thousands of Chinese workers have been recruited to participate in the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, the most arduous project in the country.
Chinese workers sailed from Hong Kong to Hawaii and California. In order to pursue high profits, the shipping companies increased the carrying capacity of each ship to the limit and added mezzanines to the already narrow and low cabins.
How much better is the environment for selling black slaves to ugly countries in Africa?
The Chinese laborers lacked air, sunlight, fresh water, and food. As a result, many Chinese died of suffocation, thirst, starvation, illness, or suicide.
At that time, there were 4 ships carrying Chinese workers to the United States. There were 4 ships carrying a total of 2,523 Chinese workers. The number of deaths on the way was as high as 1,620, and the mortality rate was as high as 64.21%.
During the project, the hard-working spirit and outstanding ingenuity of the Yanxia people played a key role and made a decisive contribution to the construction of the railway.
They also paid a heavy price. Countless Chinese workers died in high-intensity and high-risk labor. However, what is outrageous is that the Yanxia people suffered unfair treatment such as meager remuneration, racial discrimination and anti-Chinese waves at that time.
From the end of 1865 to the beginning of 1866, snowstorms for five consecutive months caused frequent avalanches. Sometimes the entire Chinese workers in the camp were buried. After a few months, the ice and snow melted, and people found the bodies of the dead Chinese workers;
In the winter of 1866, 500 to 1,000 Chinese workers died in an avalanche during the construction of the Sierra Ridge Pass;
In 1868, the project was extended to the Sierra Nevada. The Chinese called this section of the railway the "Great Wall of the Sierra Nevada". About 1,000 Chinese workers died here.
On the entire Pacific Railway, there is a skeleton of a Chinese laborer under every sleeper."
Several security guards who came to Ugo from Hong Kong Island with Zhang Zhonghua were very angry after listening to Zhang Zhonghua's story. We people in the hot summer worked hard and built the Pacific Railway without fear of life and death. The Ugo government is just like this, and even introduced laws to exclude and suppress
Summer people.
"The capitalists and politicians in the Ugly Country are all wolf-hearted."
"Let's go back to the hotel to rest first, and then go shopping in San Francisco's Chinatown tomorrow."
the next day.
Zhang Zhonghua and An Bao had breakfast at Fisherman's Wharf and rushed to San Francisco's Chinatown, the largest in the western part of the country.
Whenever Zhang Zhonghua visits a city, he still has to visit Chinatown first to experience the local customs of Chinatowns in different places.
San Francisco's Chinatown was centered around the intersection of Duban Street and California Street in the early days. Today, Chinatown is bounded by Bush Street, Powell Street, Broadway Street, and Kearny Street to form a hot summer area.
Walking into Chinatown feels like walking into a temple fair in Hong Kong. Countless overseas Chinese live and work here. On the streets of San Francisco's Chinatown, the signs of restaurants, shops, grocery stores, book stalls, pharmacies, hotels, etc. are all in traditional Chinese.
Merchants and customers also communicate in Cantonese or Hokkien. The decorations you see are very traditional Chinese style, just like a small China.
Chinatown has all Chinese goods from daily groceries to precious jewelry, and also retains traditional dining and architecture. San Francisco is closer to Asia, and it has a more Chinese flavor than New York's Chinatown.
"Boss, this place is basically the same as Kowloon in Hong Kong. This is the authentic Chinatown, which has a stronger Chinese flavor than London and New York."
Zhang Long looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, and what he heard in his ears was a somewhat different Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, Hakka, etc. He didn't know that he thought he was in Southeast Asia and not in Chou Country.
"We went to the shopping mall to have a look and had dinner at the Kang Ni Seafood Restaurant at noon."
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the largest shopping mall and restaurant on the roadside and said, "It's really lively."
Walking into the mall, there are a lot of domestic products, including clothes, shoes, pots and pans, etc., and all kinds of daily necessities. Moutai, Wuliangye, Zhonghua, Panda, etc., there are a lot of big-name tobacco and alcohol, and the security can also supplement some rations.
.
What makes Zhang Zhonghua happy is that Yuhuang Electric’s induction cookers, rice cookers, electric pots and other kitchen supplies are also available in the mall.
Everyone was walking on the street and was attracted by the excitement in front of them. When they saw it, good guys, there was a crowd in front of Zhenfan Guoshu Museum.
"Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee!"
Zhang Zhonghua heard many people shouting Bruce Lee's name.
This made Zhang Zhonghua quite excited. He led the security guards and pushed towards the crowd in front. Unexpectedly, he met Bruce Lee for the first time in San Francisco.
Bruce Lee, whose real name was Li Zhenfan, was born in San Francisco, California, in November 1940. He was related to the richest man, Robert Ho Tung.
Bruce Lee was a pioneer in the revolution of martial arts in the world, a martial arts philosopher, the founder of Kung Fu movies, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee was the first global promoter of Chinese Kung Fu and the first hot summer protagonist in Hollywood.
In 1962, Bruce Lee opened the "Zhenfan Martial Arts Academy" and created his own Jeet Kune Do in 1967. Bruce Lee passed away in Hong Kong on July 20, 1973, at the age of 32.
In 1979, the Los Angeles city government designated June 8, the opening day of the reshoot of "Game of Death", as "Bruce Lee Day". In 1993, the United States issued banknotes commemorating the 20th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame was paved with Bruce Lee commemoration.
Star emblem; in the same year, he won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Hong Kong Film Awards.
The cause of Bruce Lee's death is an unsolved mystery, and opinions are divergent. However, Bruce Lee's 28-year-old son Li Guohao must have died of murder. During the filming of a gunfight scene on April 1, 1993, the prop gun accidentally fired a real bullet, and Li Guohao was shot in the abdomen.
He died from excessive blood loss.
It's definitely impossible for Bruce Lee to commit suicide. He, the God of War in the courtyard, probably wouldn't be able to stop a single move in front of Bruce Lee. So let's take a group photo and get an autograph first, and we'll talk about other things later.
Zhang Zhonghua saw the two apprentices next to Bruce Lee. The black man was Bruce Lee's first apprentice Jesse Glover, and the Japanese was another apprentice Kimura Takeyuki.
