wild 1995

Chapter 81 Communication
Xia Jianwu visited Yuncheng for two days during the Spring Festival. He returned to Jinling on the sixth day of the first lunar month, rented a factory in the Economic Development Zone, and recruited more than [-] key employees, from finance to management, from production to sales. As long as the money is in place, he can immediately... resign from Panda Electronics.

At noon, Di Ye had a meal with these people and got to know each other. After the banquet was over, Xia Jianwu was on the way to send him to Jinling University. He said helplessly, "They are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't spread eagles. Although the salary of state-owned enterprises is not high, the benefits are good. There is no real money to spend. It is very difficult for them to resign."

"I've said long ago that money is not an issue."

Di Ye didn't sit in the co-pilot seat this time, but became the boss in the back row. He said sharply: "You think about the company's development path before you come to me for money. If you cooperate with Panda Electronics, I will give 200 million for 20% of the shares. If you build a new brand independently, I will give 500 million for 45% of the shares. The other 5% will be given to those people just now as equity incentives."

Xia Jianwu glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Your shares in the disk rental chain store have only been sold for 255 million. Can you get 500 million?"

"Didn't your sister tell you that she went to Pujiang with me for a few days?"

Xia Jianwu's mind was very flexible, and he immediately understood. He patted the steering wheel hard and asked, "Are you going to speculate in 327 national debt? Are you speculating with Yingfeng's funds?"

Di Ye smiled and said nothing.

Xia Jianwu supported the steering wheel with his left hand, raised his thumb with his right hand and raised his back, saying with emotion: "You are such a natural gambler! You have a bright future, but you do some irrelevant things. Opening a rental disc store to raise funds is already crazy enough, but you dare to use the funds raised to speculate in futures. It's like an old birthday star hangs himself—it's a long life."

"You know this, I know the world, don't tell outsiders."

"Such an outrageous thing, even if I tell outsiders, no one will believe it! How much did you earn by taking such a big risk to speculate in 327?"

Di Ye didn't hide anything, and directly reported the figure of 2300 million, saying: "The domestic financial market is not mature enough, the market is too small, and it's boring to play. I want to transfer some funds to Hong Kong to exchange for US dollars, and speculate in US stocks or foreign exchange. Do you have a way?"

"How much do you want to transfer out?"

"Probably the equivalent of a million dollars."

Xia Jianwu silently calculated the exchange rate and found that it was more than 800 million funds. He shook his head and said, "This amount is too large, and it will be troublesome to transfer it out. I'll check it out for you later."

"It doesn't have to be transferred out. I can put the renminbi in the mainland as collateral, borrow dollars from Hong Kong for a period of time, and return it when I earn money."

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you are about to gamble again. What are you looking for this time?"

Di Ye chose to hide it this time, saying: "Making decisions based on assumptions is called gambling, and making decisions based on data is called investing. I have too little news in Yuncheng. I have to go to Pengcheng to use the Internet to study some data before making a decision. Transferring the money to Hong Kong is just a backup."

"Then let me know when you've done your research, and I'll drink some soup."

Xia Jianwu sent Di Ye to the main entrance of Jinling University on Hankou Road, and asked when parking: "If it were you, would you choose to cooperate with Panda Electronics, or to be independent?"

"I never struggle with things, flipping coins or drawing lots."

"Damn! Saying it is tantamount to not saying it."

Di Ye is telling the truth. All his actions after time travel are in accordance with the trend, without entanglement or force. For example, VCD player, if Di Yongchang hadn’t opened a shop selling parallel CD players, he would not have proposed to do this. Instead, he might cooperate with Di Yan to make BB players, or simply go to the computer city to fiddle with compatible machines.

Another example is the 327 national debt incident. If Fan Dazhi was strict and did not give Huang Ya the official seal, Di Ye would not embezzle funds, but use his existing 30 yuan to speculate. Anyway, after the 327 national debt, there are financial events such as plywood, red beans, and 319. The 30 yuan of funds can also expand to tens of millions within a few months.

As for Panda Electronics, Di Ye mainly values ​​its profound foundation, technology accumulation in electronics, communication and other fields, and will obtain the first batch of domestic mobile phone production licenses in 1999, but even without Xia Jianwu, he can still buy Panda Electronics when it suffered huge losses in a row in 1997 and 1998, its stock price was low, and it was about to put on the ST hat.

"Do you want me to pick you up tonight?"

"No, I don't know how long I'll stay here, I'll go back to the hotel by myself at night."

Di Ye pushed the door and got out of the car, looked up at the main entrance of Jinling University, and then saw Xu Chenye standing on the side of the street waiting for him, so he walked over with his laptop bag, and said hello: "Brother Xu, I kept you waiting."

"No, I just arrived for a while. Di Ye, you are amazing. You actually scored 493 points in the exam! It caused a sensation in the graduate school, but I didn't expect you to stay in school, and you don't plan to come to study..."

Xu Chenye and Di Ye got along very well in Pengcheng, and they often exchanged messages on Cfido. There was no sense of alienation after not seeing each other for many days. On the way to lead the way to the office building of the School of Computer Science, he shook off all the rumors about him in the past few days.

"Is there any reaction from your side to my few open source articles?"

"Many people have the same reaction as me. I feel that your idea of ​​linking Mao Xuan with software development is quite novel. Professor Xu Jiafu called me over to inquire about those articles the day before yesterday. He suspected that you didn't write them. Guess why?"

"why?"

"He said that those few articles had a large format, and they didn't seem like something that a school student in his early 20s could write."

The purpose of Di Ye's visit to Jinling University this time is not to explain why he didn't come to graduate school, but to recruit talents for the R&D team. Hearing Xu Chenye's words now, his heart moved, and he felt that he could have a good chat with Professor Xu Jiafu about the concept of open source.

Professor Xu Jiafu was born in December 1924. He just passed the age of 12 in 1995, but his body and spirit are in good condition, so he has not retired yet. He is very happy with Di Ye's initiative to visit. He personally made him a cup of tea, and then asked about the origin of those open source articles.

"Professor Xu, from my freshman year to my senior year, my academic performance has always been at the top of the department. I thought my level was very good. Until the end of last semester, a teacher who came back from studying in Japan introduced the free software movement to me and gave me a CD of the 386BSD open source operating system. After I read the source code, I realized that I was just a clown watching the sky."

Professor Xu seemed to have never heard of 386BSD, so he wrote it down on a blank piece of paper with a pen, and then motioned Di Ye to continue.

"On the night of the end of the postgraduate entrance examination, I was idle and bored, so I took out a set of Mao Xuan collected by my dad to read. As a result, the first sentence of Chapter 1 in the first volume made me think for a long time."

"Who is our enemy? Who is our friend? This question is the first question of the revolution. Is it this sentence?"

"Yeah, but it's a peaceful time, so I'm not thinking about revolution, I'm thinking about learning—who is my enemy of learning? Who is my friend of learning? Then I came to the conclusion that poor textbooks and short computer time are my enemies of learning, and open source and practice are my friends of learning."

Professor Xu showed approval when he heard this, and commented: "Your idea is correct. Computers are productivity tools, and practice is very important."

"Later, I thought about some other aspects, such as who is the enemy of our development and who is our friend. Finally, I came to the conclusion that if China's computer industry wants to quickly catch up with the world's advanced level, only by vigorously supporting the open source movement and turning programmers all over the world into friends can it resist the commercial aggression of multinational companies such as Microsoft and IBM..."

The main content of the few open source articles before the Spring Festival was pieced together by Di Ye to Xiaohonghua from classic works such as "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" and "Anthology of Open Source Software".

According to the feedback from netizens on Cfido these days, Di Ye reworked those articles, deleted some meaningless content of the debate, added some interesting examples, and enhanced the readability. However, because he wanted to carry the banner of "open source", the article had to be bilingual in Chinese and English, so he didn't rush to type it out. Instead, he was going to Pengcheng to study overseas feedback before finalizing it.

Now there are leading figures like Professor Xu who are interested in the concept of open source. Di Ye can't wait for it. He tells all his thoughts these days, solicits his opinions and suggestions, and strives to make his concept more perfect.
