"Gauls believe in working in the spring, vacationing in the summer, going on strike in the autumn, and celebrating Christmas in the winter. Strikes are an annual repertoire, and there are many holidays in Gaul. Working 140 hours a month is not bad."
Zhang Zhonghua shrugged helplessly, and at the same time regretted his previous strategy of expanding to Gaul.
When it comes to chaos, the Ugly Country is the most chaotic among modern countries, but when it comes to strikes, Gaul ranks second and no one dares to rank first. They have traditions.
In the future, those in Gaul who have worked for one year will be able to get 5 weeks of paid leave. In the summer, when the children are on summer vacation, it is most suitable for family travel. Most people will choose to use their annual leave during the summer vacation. Summer vacations have become a tradition. July and August
There will also be empty towns in some cities.
This can also explain from another aspect why the Gauls love to go on strike in autumn. After all, the vacation is over and the annual leave has been used up. But before the heart can fly back from the vacation, they have to face the huge amount of money they have accumulated for a month.
When you are in a bad mood at work, you will naturally want to go on strike. You can take a legitimate rest, and you can also vent your emotions by going on the streets.
However, including annual leave, Gaul still has 11 statutory holidays and fixed weekends. Each person has 150 days of vacation a year and 114 days of strikes. In this way, Gaul is still a world power and the seventh largest economy in the world.
Everyone's mouths twitched. What he said made sense. The people of Gaul were the happiest in the world.
CFC Catering Company has not stopped its expansion because of the messy situation in Gaul and Chou Country. After all, CFC has not yet entered Chou Country, and Zhang Zhonghua has decided to give up temporarily on the Gaul market.
CFC’s marketing department purchased stores in various cities, and the group’s decoration team also accelerated the decoration process as the marketing department entered various countries.
You can open a store at any time, but you should decorate it as early as possible. Anyway, the store will not suffer much loss if it is stocked. On the contrary, the prices are increasing every day.
The world was in turmoil, but Zhang Zhonghua was enjoying the sea breeze in the Pacific Ocean. He still had a yacht for convenience and could go to sea at any time, so he bought a yacht in San Francisco and gave it to the yacht company for maintenance.
"It's still more comfortable here in San Francisco. The climate on the entire West Coast is much better than in the UK."
Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but sigh while soaking in the sea while wearing a swimsuit.
"The sunshine in the west is better. It's so comfortable to bask in the sun on the yacht. Ugly people are really good at playing. How come I didn't realize it could be like this before?"
Lou Xiao'e said while lying on a beach chair and basking in the sun.
Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with the fish and shrimps he caught in the bucket. He definitely cooked on the yacht at noon, basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze while drinking beer. It was still very comfortable.
'We were sitting, drinking beer, with the sun shining on our shoulders, feeling like free people.'
Zhang Zhonghua thought of the plot in "The Shawshank Redemption", where Andy and Red were sitting on the roof of the building drinking cold beer. Andy finally escaped from prison and lived a carefree life on the Pacific Ocean.
"Freedom is so wonderful!"
Zhang Zhonghua said with emotion.
"Of course freedom is wonderful. Before, we were like birds trapped in a cage."
"Zhang Long and the others are really good at swimming, just like Bai Tiao in the waves in Water Margin."
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but admired as she looked at the several security guards who were disappearing and appearing in the sea.
Zhang Zhonghua glanced at Lou Xiao'e and thought, isn't this nonsense?
Except for Zhang Long, no one else came here with their family and friends from the mainland and had to be careful at all times. It is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Although there is only a river across the river, I don't know how many corpses are buried in that river. If we arrange for people to salvage, they should be able to salvage a lot of things. Anyone who can bring his family to swim here is not a good swimmer.
"Let me tell you, Robinson Crusoe was even more powerful. Once he encountered a storm on his way to Africa and drifted alone to an uninhabited desert island, where he began a life of isolation. With his strong will
With unremitting efforts, he survived tenaciously on the desert island, and finally returned to his hometown after living on the island for 28 years, 2 months and 19 days."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile and changed the topic.
Speaking of Robinson Crusoe, Zhang Zhonghua suddenly remembered another series of movies he watched in his previous life, that is, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" pirate series.
Not to mention that reborn people will not starve to death no matter what. As long as they seriously learn screenwriting, they can write about the movies they watched in their previous lives.
After all, in the past life, when information was developed, who had not seen dozens of Oscar-winning blockbusters, the box office was abysmal.
The rebirth of diaosi in Xiangjiang in the past life has also formed a pattern. When you start a business, you must copy the Qinji, you must marry He Chaoqiong after you become rich, and the car company must buy Bentley. It is really bad.
"If it were true, then Robinson Crusoe is really amazing. He can live alone on a small island for 28 years. If it were me, I might not be able to bear it and jump into the sea. Ah Hua, a fish has taken the bait."
Lou Xiao'e pointed at the fishing rod and said.
After hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Zhang Zhonghua quickly lifted the pole and reeled in the line, and a large lobster was directly lifted out of the water. Today's lunch at noon was even richer.
"Uncle Ahua, I want to eat lobster."
When Xiaobao saw the lobster, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement. He ran to Zhang Zhonghua and directly picked up the big lobster. He was not afraid of getting it in his hands, and he was a good snack foodie.
"Ahua, does the lobster taste good when grilled?"
Lou Xiao'e suddenly remembered something, and then asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"This thing can be aged, but if you don't have the conditions, it won't taste good. So let's steam it and eat it."
After hearing Lou Xiao'e's suggestion, Zhang Zhonghua scratched his head and decided to steam it.
"Tell me, these roasted lambs and roasted chicken wings are so delicious, why don't these old people like them? These foreigners are so trouble-free when it comes to eating. Not one of them can cook."
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but complain.
"This is at sea. I don't dare to grill lobsters on the shore. Chou Country has very strict management in this regard."
Zhang Zhonghua said helplessly.
"Ahua, when will that CAD software developed by your software company be finished?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lou Xiaoe was also learning computers during this time, and she found that computers are really interesting and very convenient.
"What about the software? I estimate it will take at least half a year to develop. CAD is widely used in civil construction, decoration, urban planning, garden design, electronic circuits, mechanical design, clothing, shoes and hats, aerospace, light industry, chemical industry and many other fields. Which
It’s that easy.”
Now that the Unix system has been handed over, CFC Restaurant, Yuhuang Electrical Appliances, and Yuhuang Bank are all on the right track. Someone is also responsible for the affairs of Hong Kong Island. He always has to find something to do. The future market prospects of this software are not
Small.
"Isn't it another infringement?"
Lou Xiao'e asked. After studying, she also understood that there are very few computer software developers who do not infringe.
"CAD software has been around for sixteen years, and the relevant authorizations have been obtained, but now it is mainly used in the fields of electronics, electrical engineering, mechanical design and aerospace."

Zhang Zhonghua took Lou Xiaoe and others to play in San Francisco for a few days, and then sent them away. After Lou Xiaoe and others returned to New York, Zhang Zhonghua plunged into intense work again.
During this period, he also went to Santa Clara. Looking at the construction progress of his company building, Zhang Zhonghua was completely disappointed with the construction speed of Chou Country. He really didn’t know how those buildings with more than 100 floors in Chou Country would be built in the future.
of.
After leaving the construction site of his own company, Zhang Zhonghua came to Intel Company, also located in Santa Clara. He was very excited to see Zhang Zhonghua, the three great minds of Intel, right away.
Robert Noins, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove are all elites in the chip field, and Gordon Moore is the master who proposed "Moore's Law".
Intel is led by Robert Noins as CEO, Gordon Moore as COO, and Andy Grove later joins;
In 1969, the first product 3010 bipolar random access memory (RAM) was born;
In 1971, Intel launched the 4004, the first general-purpose chip in human history, and the computing revolution it brought changed the entire world;
From 1972 to 1978, Intel successively launched the 8008 and 8080 processors, and the 8088 microprocessor became the brain of the IBM PC...
Although Zhang Zhonghua has no research on chips and computer hardware, he still knows something about the history of Intel. The purpose of his visit to Intel this time is to learn about function calculators.
The earliest functional calculator has a deep connection with Japan's Busi Calculator Company. It designed a set of twelve integrated circuits and wanted to ask Intel to produce it.
Ted Hoff, the Intel engineer who took over the business, designed a plan that concentrated all computing units on one chip, thus significantly reducing costs.
Based on Hoff's design, engineers from the two companies collaborated to complete the project.
The final design consists of four chips, 4001 is a read-only memory, 4002 is a random access memory, 4003 is a shift register, and 4004 is a central processing unit.
Originally, the chipset was specially customized by Busi, so the story was supposed to end at this point where the Japanese should check out, take the product, and leave.
But what I never expected was that busi had financial problems and could not afford the remaining expenses.
In the end, Intel had to agree with Busi to forgive part of the debt by giving up the exclusive rights to the chip.
At the same time, in order to make up for the losses, Intel naturally had to sell chips to make money, and Intel 4004 became the world's first commercial microprocessor.
There are only four major manufacturers in the world that independently develop and produce calculators: Casio, Texas Instruments, HP, and Sharp. Functional calculators other than these four are all imitations, knockoffs, or pirated copies.
The abandonment of busi company has enabled four other companies.
The functional calculator drove the take-off and transformation of HP, but with the arrival of Zhang Zhonghua, the functional calculator was destined to miss other companies. The calculator would become the flagship product of Yuhuang Electrical Appliances that sells well all over the world.
Zhang Zhonghua was still excited when he thought about it. As for monopolizing the 4004 chip, it was impossible. How would computers develop without the 4004 chip?
Chou State is so ruthless in anti-monopoly against IBM. Yuhuang Electric's small size cannot withstand it. A few years of independent business is enough. Yuhuang Group is not IBM. If it dares to maintain a monopoly, Chou State will take advantage of it. dead.
"Hello, welcome to Intel Corporation. How can I help you?"
The girl at the Intel front desk said enthusiastically.
"Hello, I am Zhang Zhonghua from YH Software Company. I would like to meet Mr. Robert Noyns."
Zhang Zhonghua also said politely.
As for why I’m here? I want to buy a stake in your company, will you let me?
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I will notify our president right now."
The girl at the front desk said to Zhang Zhonghua excitedly, Zhang Zhonghua is so famous. Not only is he a great writer, he is also a super rich man. His company is right across from Intel Corporation.
Zhang Zhonghua walked into the somewhat simple reception room. Intel is really poor now. I'm here to give you business and good luck. I'm here to give you money. But in the future, no one who wants to get involved in high technology can avoid Intel. After all, high-tech Technology would be useless without chips.
Ten minutes later, Robert Noins, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove came to the reception room to greet Zhang Zhonghua.
The arrival of the three people made Zhang Zhonghua a little flattered. After all, although Intel does not get up early now, there will not be many people in Intel who can climb high in the future.
"Hello Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, welcome to Intel Corporation, I am Robert Noins, these two are Gordon Moore and Andy Grove."
Robert Noynes introduced enthusiastically.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Zhonghua can be considered half of their peers. His achievements in computer language and software are beyond what people like him can compare with, let alone a super rich man. ,well, rich.
"Hello, Robert Noins, Gordon Moore, Mr. Andy Grove... Especially the number of transistors that can be accommodated on Moore's integrated circuits will double approximately every 18 months. I I deeply agree and believe that integrated circuits will develop faster and faster in the future."
Zhang Zhonghua said politely, his tone was very polite.
After the four people entered the small conference room and exchanged polite greetings, Zhang Zhonghua said straight to the point:
"I plan to produce a functional calculator to facilitate calculations. I think binary algorithm can be used to integrate the calculation units on one chip, which will make integrated circuits much more convenient... So this time I came to Intel Corporation to commission a calculator.
Intel Corporation helps with chip research."
Robert Noynes took the design plan handed over by Zhang Zhonghua and looked at it. The drawings were quite detailed. Zhang Zhonghua could have gone to the powerful Texas Instruments or Motorola. Could it be that he was worried about the leakage of product information?

From the current Intel perspective, this is a huge business, and I'm afraid it can't be closed without three million US dollars. It's perfect, and Robert Noins is very excited.
"What are the uses of these four chips?"
Robert Noynes asked.
"My ideal calculator consists of four chips, one is a read-only memory, one is a random access memory, one is a shift register, and one is a central processing unit. The four chips work together, so the performance will be
More superior..."
Zhang Zhonghua explained to Noins.
As long as you have the chip, everything is ready. As for the transistors, it is still very easy. You can just be responsible for the program yourself.
However, chips are too expensive. It is said that the cost of one piece is as high as 100 US dollars. This can only be reduced if the purchase volume of wafers is large.
If you don’t sell a calculator for $300, you won’t be able to afford it. R&D costs are quite expensive.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, this research and development cycle may take at least one year..."
Robert Noynes began to talk about some of the difficulties, and Zhang Zhonghua soon understood that it was nothing more than a question of price. What is money? I have plenty of money.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhonghua and the three chatted for nearly an hour, leaving an advance payment of US$1 million before leaving. If the money is insufficient, they can be paid at any time.
