Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 137 The Boss Hiding in the Tavern (Part 4)
As one of the most powerful operating system programmers of this era, Liu Guiwu can clearly see many details in the genius system modified by Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi has streamlined the system to the extreme without compromising the core functions of the original system. This indeed requires a very deep understanding of the system.

Even if Liu Guiwu revised it himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to reach this level.

Liu Guiwu looked up at Cheng Yi and thought to himself: Could it be that this kid has been studying systems since he was 8 years old?

It's really possible! Liu Guiwu believed it himself.

There are indeed programming geniuses around the world who do one thing to the extreme, such as Sean Parker, who started learning software programming at the age of 7, became one of the most vicious hackers tracked by the FBI at the age of 16, and developed Napster, the earliest pirated music sharing website in history, at the age of 18. In 2000, at the age of 21, he founded the communications service company Plaxo.

Geniuses do exist, but this is the first time Liu Guiwu has seen a programming genius in China.

Liu Guiwu put away his shocked expression, held out his hand and said, "I apologize for my disrespect just now."

"Mr. Liu, you're too polite." Cheng Yi said quickly, "My words just now were too harsh. I should apologize."

Liu Guiwu sighed, glanced at Yu Sen, and said, "Let's go have a drink."

"Don't you have a meeting at 4:40?" Yu Sen asked in surprise.

"Let them go. I suddenly feel like drinking." Liu Guiwu smiled and said, "Let's go to Huang Mazi's tavern."

Yu Sen said, "Okay, I haven't seen Huang Mazi for a long time."

"Let's go." Liu Guiwu patted Cheng Yi's arm again and said, "Your name is Cheng Yi?"

"Yes, Jackie Chan's Cheng and Lu Yi's Lu Yi." Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"That's a good name." Liu Guiwu laughed and said, "Lu Yi is Li Yingqi from the movie Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu also follows the drama?" Cheng Yi asked with a smile.

"I watch it occasionally. This drama is so popular, it's on all the channels. I can't help but watch it."

The three of them went downstairs while talking.

Liu Guiwu's car was a Jetta, which was a very high-end model in that era. After Yu Sen and Cheng Yi got in the car, Liu Guiwu drove to a seemingly inconspicuous tavern.

The pub owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a face full of pockmarks, wearing a pair of thick glasses and a silly smile.

Seeing Liu Guiwu and Yu Sen come in, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "How rare! You two actually come to my place together?"

The middle-aged man punched Liu Guiwu and Yu Sen on the shoulders, then looked at Cheng Yi who was following behind him and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

"Let me introduce you to my student, Cheng Yi." Yu Sen said proudly, "I'm not bragging, but his talent is far greater than yours."

"It's normal that you are better than me. I'm just a chef." The middle-aged man grinned.

Liu Guiwu said: "Cheng Yi's technology is indeed very strong. When it comes to operating systems, no one in China can match him."

Hearing the word "operating system", the smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared. He looked at Cheng Yi suspiciously and said, "Did you guys team up to trick me today? How old is he?"

"When did I ever fool you?" Liu Guiwu frowned slightly.

Yu Sen said carelessly, "Huang Mazi, hurry up and serve the food first, then pull down the shutter of your shabby shop, and let's have a drink together."

The middle-aged man said, "Okay, no problem, but you have to make up for the business losses, right?"

"What the hell am I doing? It's not dinner time yet." Yu Sen cursed and found a random seat to sit down with Liu Guiwu.

Cheng Yi could see that Yu Sen and Liu Guiwu had a very good relationship with this boss.

Seeing Cheng Yi's confusion, Yu Sen smiled and said, "Do you know who this boss is?"

Cheng Yi shook his head.

Yu Sen said mysteriously, "Huang Ganping, the deputy leader of the COSIX V1.0 R&D team."

"Huang Ganping?" Cheng Yi's expression changed slightly.

This name is very familiar to those who study operating systems.

The first textbook on operating systems in China was written by Huang Ganping.

Cheng Yi still vaguely remembers that it was a textbook published in 1990.

This book was once the operating system enlightenment book for countless programmers.

"Could he be the author of 'Computer Operating System'?" Cheng Yi asked in surprise.

Yu Sen laughed and said, "Yes, that's him, but he's Chef Huang now."

Liu Guiwu, who was standing by, also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Cheng Yi's heart was already in turmoil.

In his previous life, Yu Sen had never told him anything about Huang Ganping.

After a while, a woman who looked very plump and somewhat like Sarina brought them two dishes: one was pork skin jelly, the other was fried peanuts, both were cold dishes.

"You guys drink first. I'll finish cooking these two dishes. It will take half an hour to stew the chicken." Huang Ganping's voice came from the kitchen.

"Waiting for you." Yu Sen replied and said to Cheng Yi, "Are you curious about why he became a chef?"

Cheng Yi nodded.

Yu Sen glanced at Liu Guiwu and said, "Old Liu, is it still possible to talk about the painful past?"

"Raise it." Maybe Cheng Yi's previous words hit Liu Guiwu, and Liu Guiwu was in a bad mood. He took off his suit jacket, poured himself a glass of Erguotou, pulled off his tie and threw it aside, and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

Yu Sen smiled at Cheng Yi and said, "When we were planning to stop the COSIX project, our R&D team had a huge argument. Lao Liu was the team leader, and Huang Mazi was the deputy team leader. At that time, Huang Mazi desperately wanted to keep the COSIX project, saying that it was the future of domestic operating systems and couldn't be stopped just because of the suppression of Windows 95. But everyone, including me, felt that Linux was the future of domestic operating systems. After all, if we go in the wrong direction, no matter how hard we try, it will be useless."

"It was actually a battle of ideologies. We won, and Huang Mazi left the group in anger and came here to become a chef."

"Stop talking bad about me." Huang Ganping's protest came from the kitchen.

Yu Sen added, "Cheng Yi, you are very familiar with the system. Tell me, who is right and who is wrong between us and Huang Mazi?"

Liu Guiwu took a sip of wine and looked at Cheng Yi.

"Are you telling the truth?" Cheng Yi smiled helplessly.

"Nonsense, there's no outsider here, so there's no need to hide." Yu Sen said.

"I think Mr. Huang is right." Cheng Yi answered directly.

Liu Guiwu and Yu Sen originally thought that Cheng Yi would support them, but Cheng Yi's answer once again exceeded their expectations.

Considering Cheng Yi's age, the systems he studies are nothing more than Linux and Windows. How could he support Huang Ganping?
Although that incident was a dispute over academic ideas, it was also a thorn in the hearts of Liu Guiwu, Yu Sen and Huang Ganping.

No one went to pull it out, and no one dared to pull it out.

Liu Guiwu frowned and asked, "Have you studied the UNIX system?"

"I studied it a little bit." Cheng Yi nodded.

Yu Sen said, "The only operating system known in the world that's based on UNIX is Mac-OS, which has fewer than one million users. Now Linux and Windows are everywhere. How many more years do you think they can hold out? UNIX has a tree-like structure and is a product of the 70s. It's bound to fade into history sooner or later."

Cheng Yi was silent.

He suddenly thought of something. In his previous life, he wondered what expressions Yu Sen and Liu Guiwu would have when they saw the finished IOS system taking over the world. Would they regret their original decision?
However, it is meaningless to regret or not.

Even if they persist, the results will not be any better.

The ecological environment of the system is a difficult problem that cannot be solved by a backward developing country.

Whether you choose the UNIX system from the 70s or the Linux system from the 90s, it is always like trying to catch the moon in a well or seeing flowers in the fog.

Cheng Yi said slowly, "I think the UNIX system will go further. First, it's more secure and stable. Second, we have a large population. As long as we have a large enough user base using the UNIX system, we can forcefully open the door to overseas software. Once we open the door to overseas software, the advantages of the UNIX system will be undeniably apparent. I think Mr. Huang obviously sees this, which is why he insists on continuing down the UNIX path."

"Crack!" As soon as Cheng Yi finished speaking, the sound of plates breaking on the ground startled everyone.

Not far away, Huang Ganping stood there in shock. A bowl of fragrant scrambled eggs with tomatoes had been scattered all over the floor along with the broken plate.

At this moment, tears seemed to be rolling in Huang Ganping's eyes.

He immediately turned his back and said, "My hand slipped. I'll make another one."

After saying that, he walked quickly into the kitchen.

"My hand slipped, this guy must have cried." Yu Sen slapped Cheng Yi on the back and said with a smile, "You're good, kid. You even moved Huang Mazi to tears."

"Don't say bad things about me, my hand slipped!" Huang Ganping's protest was heard again in the kitchen.

Not long after, Huang Ganping came back with a plate of fried leeks with tofu and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

He placed two dishes on the table, took off his apron and handed it to his wife, then sat on the stool next to Cheng Yi and said, "Who said something bad about me just now?"

"No, we didn't even mention you." Yu Sen answered without blushing or beating his heart.

Huang Ganping first glanced at Cheng Yi, then looked at Yu Sen and Liu Guiwu, and said, "What's the wind blowing today? It blew you all here."

Liu Guiwu took a sip of Erguotou and replied, "Yu Sen's student came to me to buy the COSIX system. After all, the COSIX system is also your hard work. Regardless of whether I sell it or not, I have to let you know about this."

"You want to buy a COSIX system?" Huang Ganping looked at Cheng Yi in surprise and asked the same question as Liu Guiwu: "Did Yu Sen trick you into coming here?"

"Damn it, am I that kind of person?" Yu Sen was very dissatisfied.

"You are." Huang Ganping and Liu Guiwu answered together.
