Chapter 108 History will remember a great man

Li Zetian first visited Apple's Taiwan branch, and then went to Microsoft's Taiwan branch.However, the scale of Microsoft here is not large, only a dozen people, the main task is to develop the market, contact users, and provide technical support.

Personal computer is a new industry, which is developing very fast in Taiwan, and operating system and software are indispensable for personal computer, so it is necessary for Microsoft to establish a branch in Taiwan.

The current personal computer only supports English and does not support Chinese. The sales of Apple-ll personal computers in Taiwan are naturally affected to some extent.

However, within a few years, Chinese character coding and Hanka will emerge as the times require.

As we all know, computers can only recognize 0 and 1, so people have developed a computer coding system to make various permutations and combinations of 0 and 1 to form recognizable languages ​​of various countries.

The United States developed the ASCII code, the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange", which can display modern English and other Western European languages.Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places are actively researching Chinese character encoding.However, Chinese character encoding is much more difficult than English encoding.

There are three main difficulties:

The first is the huge number. The total number of Chinese characters has exceeded 6, and each Chinese character corresponds to a code, which is simply terrifying.You know, there are only 128 ASCII codes in total.

The second is that the fonts are complex, including ancient and modern styles, traditional and simplified styles, and different styles of orthodox and different styles; and the strokes are very different, with one less stroke and as many as 36 strokes.

The [-]rd is the phenomenon that there is a large amount of one sound with multiple characters and one word with multiple sounds.

If the encoding of Chinese characters cannot be completed, then the Chinese card is out of the question.

So far, the Chinese character coding in China has developed rapidly, and Li Zetian doesn't need to worry about it at all.By 1980, the General Administration of Standards of China will issue the "Coding Character Set of Chinese Characters for Information Interchange", and a set of national standards GB2312 will be implemented in the second year.

Naturally, Li Zetian will not waste his financial resources to develop a set of Chinese character encoding, and then compete with the Chinese government for the Chinese character encoding standard. Putting aside whether this kind of thing is stupid or not, the level of research alone may not be comparable to the group in the Chinese Academy of Sciences Old scientist, after all, this is a Chinese character encoding, not an English encoding!Furthermore, China has been studying Chinese character encoding since the 60s. Is it too late to catch up now?
In fact, when China releases the Chinese character encoding, it can be used directly.

With Chinese character coding, Chinese cards can be developed.Hanka is very profitable, several thousand yuan each, but the cost is less than half, not to mention other things, it has made two well-known companies, Lenovo and Shi Yuzhu's giant company.

Because the vast majority of Chinese people do not know English, the market for Hanka is huge!

However, the Chinese card is only a transitional product in the history of computer development. Even if there is no Chinese card, as long as there is a Chinese character code, the computer can also input Chinese characters.The reason why Chinese cards are popular is that in the early use of computers, the processing power of computers was limited. In order to improve the efficiency of computers and reduce the frequent access to memory in the process of Chinese character input, Chinese cards were developed.The use of Hanka can effectively increase the speed of the computer and reduce the computer memory space as much as possible. However, with the advancement of computer hardware and software technology, the processing ability of the computer has been rapidly improved, and the Hanka will no longer be useful.

In fact, Li Zetian had already thought about the Hanka issue.

How can you not earn money?
Instead of giving the money to giant companies, it is better to earn it yourself.Others make money just to show off and enjoy, while the purpose of making money is to gather funds from the society, and then give back to the society, and strive to develop medicine, energy, education, technology, etc., to change the world! ! !
Of course, while giving back to the society, the society will also give back to me, making me richer, with more status and influence...

History will remember a great person, yes, that is me - Li Zetian! ! !

……

When Li Zetian was talking with the person in charge of Microsoft Corporation in Taiwan, Zhou Qiqi propped her elbows on the table, resting her chin with both hands, looking around boredly, and fell asleep on the table after a while.Fortunately, there is an air conditioner in the room, which is very warm and will not let Zhou Qiqi catch a cold.

Li Zetian talked with the other party for an hour before ending.Looking back, he saw that Zhou Qiqi had fallen asleep, and he couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, then stepped forward and patted her arm lightly, and called "Qiqi" twice to wake her up.

"Brother Zetian, are you ready?"

"Well, the talk is over! Let's go, brother Zetian will take you to the playground now!"

"okay!"

When Xiao Qiqi heard this, she lost all sleepiness and nodded her head repeatedly, looking very happy.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, took her little hand, and walked outside.

The two first went to have lunch, and then found a large amusement park.

Li Zetian took Xiao Qiqi on the merry-go-round and bumper cars, and was quite happy at first. Later, when she passed the Ferris wheel, Xiao Qiqi suddenly fell in love with the scene, burst into tears, and kept calling "Mom and Dad".Li Zetian couldn't help scolding himself secretly, why did he bring her here...

"Qiqi won't cry, shall we go home?" Li Zetian said softly.

Seeing the sad little Qiqi, Li Zetian felt very sad, hugged Xiao Qiqi in his arms, and quickly left You Leyuan.The driver had been waiting outside. After Li Zetian got into the car, he ordered, "Drive home!"

"Yes!"

In the car, Xiao Qiqi was still sobbing sadly, and Li Zetian comforted her while wiping her tears.It took a while before he coaxed her well.

Tired of crying, little Qiqi fell asleep in Li Zetian's arms without knowing it.

When she got home, Xiao Qiqi was still very depressed.

Mother Xiao Zhixuan saw it at a glance, and then pulled Li Zetian aside to ask.

Li Zetian smiled wryly, and said, "I went to the amusement park today. After Qiqi saw the Ferris wheel, she suddenly remembered the scene where her biological parents had an accident..."

"You child, why are you so careless?" Xiao Zhixuan blamed.

"The amusement park is very lively, I didn't pay attention at the time..."

"Okay, it's all over, pay attention next time, I'll go comfort Kiki!"

"Um……"

Under the careful care of Li Zetian's family, Xiao Qiqi's face gradually returned to her old smile.

Soon, New Year's Eve will arrive.

The family had a reunion dinner together, made dumplings, and had a great time.

In the evening, Xiao Qiqi was very happy when she ate a dumpling wrapped in coins.

Xiao Zhixuan smiled softly and said: "During the Chinese New Year, whoever eats dumplings wrapped with coins will be blessed, and we, Qiqi, are the most blessed!"

Li Zetian smiled, of course he knew that the dumpling with coins was specially put in Xiao Qiqi's meal by his mother to make her happy.

After eating the dumplings, Li Zetian took Qiqi to the door and set off fireworks.He bought many kinds of fireworks, including firework bombs, spray flowers, shelf fireworks, rockets, rotating fireworks, etc. When the fireworks ignited and burst into beautiful fireworks, Xiao Qiqi clapped her little palms and almost jumped up with joy !
Li Zetian looked at the twinkling fireworks and stars in the sky, and murmured: "Ah! Another year has passed..."
