Chapter IX Shanghai Claims

When he arrived at Lao Zhang's house, Mo Shui found that the whole room was filled with smoke. After Lao Zhang opened the door, he continued to make poisonous smoke on the sofa in the living room alone.

Mo Shui couldn't stand the choking second-hand smoke, so he ran to the south and north balcony, opened the glass sliding door, and let the evening breeze blow the smoke.

"Look, don't jump off the building, this cigarette can smoke you to death." After Mo Shui opened the sliding door, he came to the living room and said hatefully to Zhang Xuenian who was still breathing mist there.

"Ha!" Zhang Xuenian suddenly came, stretched out his hand and snatched out the cigarette he had just sucked a few times. He stood up and said to Mo Shui, "You are here, I can't die. Let's go, I'm going to have dinner. Brother, you have to treat me. Brother, I have no money!"

After saying that, without saying a word, he took Mo Shui's hand and went out directly. Before leaving, he even slammed and closed the door with a "bang".

"Come on, I know how to leave. Don't hold my hand. When others see it, they think we are comrades?!" Mo Shui couldn't stand Lao Zhang's "intimacy", shook his hand away, and said depressedly.

"Tsk, who is comrade with you? BS you!" Zhang Xuenian shouted loudly.

The two of them came to the street outside the community. Zhang Xuenian picked a familiar restaurant in casually. Zhang Xuenian didn't politely with Mo Shui, so he called a friend and ordered five or six dishes.

After sending the guy away, Lao Zhang drank the free tea provided by the restaurant and said to Mo Shui depressedly: "Brother, brother, I am unemployed now. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I'm unemployed?! I'm unemployed!" Mo Shui looked at the night outside the window and said indifferently.

"Dadays, okay, you're unemployed? Are you still my brother? Brother, I'm about to beg for food on the street with a broken bowl. You're still okay?" Zhang Xuenian was so angry that Mo Shui's "inhuman" words.

"Begging for food is also a good profession. It is not very technical, and it is quite suitable for you." Mo Shui finally turned his head, stared at Zhang Xuenian, and said with a teasing smile.

"Come on, you're a little abnormal. Was it dumped by someone? You're confused or what happened?" Zhang Xuenian looked down on Mo Shui's face and replied weakly.

"I'm fine! I'm thinking about when to get married to Bingbing?" Mo Shui smiled happily.

"What? Marry Yang Bingbing? When did you start talking about marriage?" Zhang Xuenian couldn't help but scream when he heard this.

"Just last week. Yang Bingbing came to Shanghai last week and stayed with her for a whole week. How about it? Are you envious?!" Mo Shui ignored Zhang Xuenian's exaggeration and continued.

"BS, be careful of being cut by the classmates with a knife!" Zhang Xuenian became more and more depressed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said leisurely.

"Tsk, who dares to kill Mr. Mo! You guys, aren't you just unemployed? You're going to have to die. Where can you find re-employment without unemployment?!" Mo Shui didn't want to continue to stimulate Lao Zhang, so he changed the topic and said.

"Re-employment, haha, it's not easy! You don't know, I've been running for a week. When you were having fun with the beautiful Yang girl, I was wandering around Shanghai!" Zhang Xuenian shook his head, sighed, and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, if you have brothers here, you won't starve to death. Tell me, do you have any ideas now?" Mo Shui looked at Zhang Xuenian, who was depressed and comforted him.

"Do you have an idea? I, TMD, will not come to you if I have an idea." Zhang Xuenian said helplessly.

At this time, the restaurant staff started to serve the dishes, and Zhang Xuenian stopped talking and waited for the staff to serve the good dishes.

"Tell me why I was unemployed? Didn't you do a good job some time ago?" Mo Shui asked after slashing two mouthfuls.

"Isn't there a sensational hacking incident some time ago?! My company was also affected. A group of high-end blade servers were hacked. Later, it was found that the server was physically damaged and could not be used. Accessories had to be replaced. The company could not turn over the funds and could not change them. Now the entire game has been suspended." Zhang Xuenian swallowed a sip of rice, took a sip of soup and replied.

"If the game cannot run normally, the company's funds will be lost. If you enter a vicious cycle, I will be laid off from TMD." Zhang Xuenian continued.

"Didn't your company's server be backed up?" Mo Shui asked in confusion.

"Backup?! You don't know the current situation yet?! The server says backup it just so much? How much does one cost? How many companies can do dual backup?! Do you know what the current world of TMD is?!" Zhang Xuenian couldn't help but become angry again when he heard Mo Shui ask.

"The operating system is getting bigger and bigger, and the games are getting bigger. In order to meet the hardware configuration of ordinary players and reduce the requirements of the game on players' hardware, the game operation company must equip high-end servers to take on the game computing functions as much as possible, reduce the game's hardware consumption, thereby reducing the threshold for game hardware and increasing the number of players. Do you think the server's performance can be low in this case?! Can the price be low?!" Zhang Xuenian analyzed the current situation of online game companies.

"You know, why is my software architect popular in a game company?" Zhang Xuenian continued to ask, and after asking, he replied by himself: "That's because I can maximize the game capacity, optimize game program code, and reduce the operating pressure of the server. In other words, my existence can minimize the company's hardware investment cost in the server."

"Now that the server is out, I, an architect, have nothing to do. So I'm laid off." Zhang Xuenian continued to say helplessly.

"Well, indeed, now both the server version of the operating system and the PC version of the operating system are getting bigger and bigger. A few years ago, when 3D games came out, they began to force players, game companies, etc. to start upgrading and replacing hardware. Not long after, a new operating system came out and began to force computer users to upgrade and replace hardware. These ordinary computer users are real victims." Mo Shui said helplessly when thinking about the current situation of the IT industry.

"Yes, those ordinary computer users are victims, and now I have become victims indirectly!" Zhang Xuenian said with a joke when he heard Mo Shui's analysis.

"Lao Zhang, it's not a solution for you to do this. Have you ever thought about starting a company or starting an industry by yourself?!" Mo Shui asked.

"Open a company? Do you think this Shanghai is?! Big groups, big companies, and those big families can scare you to death by counting. You can also start a company, do you want to do business, you're bullshit!" Zhang Xuenian said without hesitation, sighed after saying that, and continued in a sad tone: "I, TMD, are about to bow down for five dou of rice now. You still say to start a company and start an industry! Haha, it's funny!"

After Zhang Xuenian finished speaking, he began to stew the rice silently and eat the vegetables. After stewing a bowl of rice, he called a friend and asked him to continue to ride a bowl for him.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Xuenian said, "Do you know what kind of academic qualifications that guy has?! The International Finance Department of Fudan is studying securities research. You see, he doesn't go to trade and serve dishes here now; and the young girl who is cashier, I have also asked, she is a Japanese major at Shanghai Foreign Languages ​​College. Because she is not beautiful, you see, she doesn't go to translator and comes to this small temple as a cashier. Tell me, what is this world? This is like this Shanghai Beach, this society is like this. When you see me another day, you might be a waiter in KFC!"

After Zhang Xuenian finished speaking, he sighed, picked up the spoon and started drinking the soup.

Mo Shui has his own profound understanding of the analysis of this society. Especially when he studied in Henan for half a year, the "Book of Changes" was not just a picture book, but a few hexagrams were just a matter, and his master did not just teach him these things.

"Lao Zhang, if you had some money now, what would you do?" Mo Shui asked if he didn't want to see his old shop so decadent.

"Money, alas, just follow yours. If you have money, I still want to start online games. My company also wants to sell this stall. I think if you have money, I will buy it. All of the colleagues who have done this stall are of good quality. After all, I have worked in such a company for so many years, and I have some feelings. Moreover, the online games market cake is still very big and promising," said Zhang Xuenian.

"Oh, is that? How much does it cost to buy it?" Mo Shui couldn't help asking curiously when he heard Zhang Xuenian had this idea.

"I don't know how much, what's wrong? You just want to ask me to buy it, right?! Do you have that much money?!" Zhang Xuenian looked at Mo Shui in surprise and asked.

"One of the things, it's estimated that it's more than 1.5 million US dollars. It's worth more than 10 million at the current exchange rate. If it's not enough, I'll ask Bingbing for that. However, according to my estimate, it may be that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. My laboratory may have to give me money, which may be a lot. It should be enough." Mo Shui began to think about how much money he could have to take out to help Lao Zhang.

"You guys, it took you so long to buy a house and you will have money again. Tell me, how did this money come from? Don't do it, get some unclean money." Zhang Xuenian asked angrily.

Zhang Xuenian was not concerned about Mo Shui's money, but about the origin of the money, which moved Mo Shui very much.

"Don't worry, the money comes from very innocent. Last time I helped an American company to build several software projects, and they gave me more than one million US dollars in compensation. Otherwise, how could it be US dollars instead of RMB?!" Mo Shui said vaguely.

"Oh, I don't have the software talent of you. Oh my god, I can get more than one million US dollars in a few projects. By the way, why do you say that your laboratory will give you money? What does it mean?" Zhang Xuenian didn't doubt Mo Shui's analysis after hearing Mo Shui's analysis. After all, Zhang Xuenian was still very clear about Mo Shui's talent in software development, and it was not comparable to him, so he agreed to Mo Shui's analysis.

"I have started a project recently, and the laboratory may buy out the copyright, so I said that." Mo Shui analyzed.

"What project?" Zhang Xuenian asked curiously.

"It's about computer hardware, that is, about the new design of the system front-end bus. I have now developed a chip that can input and output full frequency. When I came today, I have already passed the copyright of the laboratory. However, software control is not within the scope of the copyright of the laboratory. Therefore, they may want to buy out my software copyright." Mo Shui analyzed.

"Are you still a human? Can you solve the problem of the front-end bus of the system? Full frequency input and output! Do you know how big an innovation this is?!" Zhang Xuenian's heart has suffered many shocks today.

"Why don't you know?!" Mo Shui said with a calm expression.

"I know?! You know what a bluff!" Zhang Xuenian suddenly stood up and cursed, "If you know, you still want to sell this copyright to the laboratory, I know that the laboratory belongs to the American one, and you TMD just wants to sell this copyright? You guys, do you know if you are selling the country?!"

Zhang Xuenian is very clear about how big IT earthquake this research project that solves the bottleneck of FSB system can bring. It is no exaggeration to say that it can cause a turnaround in the entire IT industry.

"Mo Shui, don't sell it! Brother, please, okay?! What money is not enough, can I not make it?! Don't give it to me?!" Zhang Xuenian began to beg Mo Shui, "Brother Mo, Mr. Mo, although I am a small minor, this patriotism is not divided into age or class. This patent is of great importance. I know I am short of money now, and I know you want to help me, but for this money, don't sell the copyright of this patent to obtain it!"

"Don't, Lao Zhang, don't be excited. Listen to my analysis first, okay?" Mo Shui immediately began to persuade Zhang Xuenian.

"Tell me! I'm listening." Zhang Xuenian's mood stabilized and he sat back on his seat. He also knew that Mo Shui wanted to sell this important patent, and he definitely had his own reasons. Mo Shui was definitely not an unpatriotic person, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was also a full-blooded young man.

"This patent copyright is not valuable at all now, but the laboratory will be the same as yours, thinking that this can cause a turnaround in the entire IT industry." Mo Shui said, "What's different from them is that they are confident that they can turn this valuable patent into valuable. What about you, you're just a fool of your country."

"Why are you making a fool of your country? Isn't this obvious?!" Zhang Xuenian retorted dissatisfiedly.

"After the bottleneck of the front-end bus of the system is solved, two key chip problems must be solved, namely the South and North Bridge chips. When these two chip problems are solved, the support problems of related accessories caused by the increase in system speed must be solved, such as memory switching speed, hard disk speed, optical drive reading speed, USB transmission speed, transmission efficiency, etc., etc., etc., and even all of them are all problems. This is a complete innovation problem of a system." Mo Shui said this and paused, let Zhang Xuenian digest the consequences first.

Seeing Zhang Xuenian thinking for a while and looking at him again, Mo Shui continued: "If you develop according to this research idea, the IT manufacturing industry will be completely reshuffled. Think about it, can China be able to do the current level? How many companies will support it? How many companies will support it in so many interest groups around the world?! Will the motherboard printing industry, hard disk enterprises, optical drive manufacturing enterprises, storage enterprises, and even a certain capacitor manufacturing enterprise in the motherboard? Will they support it unconditionally?!"

"So, to be realistic, relying on China's current level to do this, not many companies will give up their vested interests and invest in R&D. This technology must be driven by global companies, and in this way, the best channel is through this Abel Laboratory in the United States." Mo Shui analyzed slowly.

"I'm not afraid to tell you at all that the current patented technology is just an experiment in the project I want to do, and it is to use these to guide them in other directions. In the future, projects that can determine China's peak position in the IT manufacturing industry will definitely be in the hands of China." Mo Shui clenched his fists and said to Zhang Xuenian.

When Zhang Xuenian heard this, he became excited and shouted happily: "You are so silly. But I like it! Hahahaha."

"All right, don't be so happy that, there are no signs now!" Mo Shui said depressedly. His innate shortcomings in electronic design have allowed him to spare many detours. After all, he was not an orthodox person who came out from the professionalism step by step.

"It's good that there is hope, and I'm optimistic about you too! I have confidence in you." Zhang Xuenian said firmly.

"I won't talk about it anymore, let's talk about your affairs! How about it? Just raise the banner yourself. It's not a solution to always work for others. I'll help you solve the problem of money. If you are brothers, don't talk too much. You have to know that how much money is not important to me, and my ambition is not here." Mo Shui returned to Lao Zhang's real problem.

"I know you have the ability and you know that your ambition is not here. However, this is related to a large amount of money after all, and my brothers still settle the accounts clearly. I don't expect that you will have an unhappy relationship with you because of money. I'll think about it again!" Although Zhang Xuenian was a little moved, this is after all, it is a real society, a money society, and money is the beginning of all contradictions.

"Come on, you don't know how I am. I'll help you, purely because we are brothers. Forget it, you have a knot in your heart, just like that, I'm a venture capital investment, you have the full responsibility for how to operate it, how?" Mo Shui also knew that Zhang Xuenian would never accept his help, so he finally suggested that.

"Okay, the money is just a waste to you. I will help you with venture capital. For specific purposes, I have to go to the company to find out how much they need to sell the stall. However, it is estimated that there are quite a lot. I will think of a way to see where to move a little more over." Zhang Xuenian also hopes that he can raise the banner by himself. How many of them don't want to be a boss by himself?! It's probably not many.

"Then let's just say that, you guys, don't be decadent. Now there are so many things to be busy with!" Mo Shui said caringly.

"Do you still want to say it?! Brother is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it." Zhang Xuenian returned to his appearance as a big brother.

After dinner, Mo Shui paid for the bill. After leaving the restaurant, Mo Shui thought it would be better to go back, so he said to Lao Zhang: "I think I'll go back. You, if you are busy with me, I'll go back to do my research, and I hope I can get results as soon as possible. How about it?!"

"Okay. Haha, it's mainly because I'm afraid of wasting your time. Go, brother, I know what to do." Zhang Xuenian also hopes that Mo Shui can achieve everything he said as soon as possible, so he doesn't want to disturb him too much.

The two parted on the spot.
