Chapter 196 Slimming

At the gate of Manhattan Trust Bank.

Lin Hong looked at the VISA credit card in his hand and had an unreal feeling in his heart.

I believe that people passing by in a hurry on the road can't imagine that there is a huge amount of 12 million US dollars in this small card in his hand.

Just now, after he got the check that Joseph gave him, he came to the bank with Phylise at the first time, entered the VIP lounge and opened an account in his own name, and then deposited his huge sum of money.

Because it is a customer brought by Phylize herself, she has opened a silver account second only to the highest level, and can enjoy many distinguished VIP services, such as one-on-one tracking and maintenance by dedicated investment consultants. Some common fees and procedures can be greatly simplified and reduced, and can enjoy the National Alliance. Institutions such as hotels, restaurants, shopping and other places enjoy value-added services and discounts, etc.

With this card, he can basically travel around the world without bringing anything. Not only can you withdraw cash from all ATMs in the United States at any time, but also, even if you return to China, you can directly withdraw money from the Bank of China and other VISA Bank Card International Organization member institutions.

You should know that VISA International has more than 21,000 members of financial institutions around the world. Basically, money can be withdrawn as long as it is not a place like Africa.

"Uncle Stone, you have been standing here for a long time. Do you want to continue to stand?" When Phylise saw that he had been standing still since he got the card. At first, she understood a little, but she felt a little bored after waiting for too long.

"Hey hey, Phylise, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Such a large amount of money is an astronomical figure for me." Lin Hong smiled shyly, "When I didn't get the money before, I just regarded it as a number in my heart, and I didn't feel excited, but now the money really belongs to me, and it is far beyond expectations. Do you think I can be unhappy and not be excited?"

At this moment, Lin Hong was relieved that all the money was left in the bag.

In this transaction, he said that it was fake that he was not nervous. After all, he was a poor boy from the countryside. The most money he had ever seen in his life was 3,000 US dollars.

Like before, in order to make life better, he often worked part-time to help others repair electrical appliances in order to earn more than ten or twenty yuan in pocket money.

I didn't expect that now, in a blink of an eye, he had 12 million dollars in his hand, which is more than 60 million yuan!

"Felice, it's all thanks to you for selling so much. Tell me that I promise you what gift I want!"

Lin Hong had mentioned to her before to pay her, but she refused. She said that helping was not for money, and she was not short of money.

Lin Hong thought so. As the daughter of the president of the Morgan Consortium, what she lacked most since she was a child was not money.

So, his statement changed this time and changed to give a gift.

This is indeed a happy thing. For the acquirer, there may be no difference between 800,000 and 12 million, but for Lin Hong, this is another astronomical figure.

The extra four million yuan is completely the result of Phylise's careful planning. I believe that Joseph must be so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. But in the end, I had to smile and say to myself that I was happy to cooperate.

At the beginning, Lin Hong was a little reluctant, but Phyliz said that she later found someone to evaluate that if the patent was really applied to the mobile phone, the profit created for them in the future would far exceed the acquisition value.

Moreover, people with discerning eyes can see that they will enter the era of mobile communication next. Whoever takes the lead in this regard will master the future.

Joseph is not a fool, and he will never be stupid enough to buy the patent at a price that exceeds the value of the patent.

Business transactions are like this. If you say it well, it is called fighting wits and courage, and if you say it bad, it is called cheating. These are normal phenomena, which everyone can understand. Maybe at the beginning, he was right-for-tat like an enemy, and he couldn't wait to eat the other party, but in a blink of an eye, he may be able to talk about life and ideals with you.

Seeing Lin Hong asking her so proudly, Phylise thought about it carefully and said, "Then you can treat me to a big meal!" I'll ask the driver to take you back after dinner.

The big meal that Phylrice talked about is naturally not an ordinary place. After a meal, she actually ate more than 3,000 dollars. In the past, Lin Hong would have been frightened, but now he is only slightly surprised, so he goes with it. After all, it is rare to be extravagant.

As the saying goes, people are heroes. Money is courage. When you have money, even the voice of speech will be louder unconsciously.

When you have no money, when you see this kind of high-end restaurant, you may instinctively have a sense of fear of it, trembling for fear that others will look down on you and be kicked out. But when you have money, you will subconsciously think that you can afford it, so you won't care about other people's opinions. Although you may not spend here, your mentality is completely different.

When Lin Hong returned to Arthur's house, it was almost 9:00 p.m., but he had already called Vina with Phylise's mobile phone before, so that she didn't have to worry. There would be a car to take her back. Of course, this time in the name of going to see his aunt, he didn't say to sell patents.

Lin Hong really wanted to share this matter with his family, but later he decided to keep it a secret. He lived as he had done before, and wait until the time was ripe.

After all, this matter is a little shocking. If Lin Hong directly told his family that he sold his patent and sold it for 60 million yuan, it is estimated that they will think that they are stupid to study in the United States and have mental problems.

Lin Hong originally wanted to buy something to go back to his home family in return for their recent care of him, but when he thought about it, he thought it was not appropriate. After all, he couldn't explain his source of income, so forget it. Take your time. Anyway, it's still a long time.

Start the computer, enter the MINIX system, and hang up the CQCQ software.

I received five offline messages as soon as I went online.

Four of them are Phylise's, asking if Lin Hong has arrived home safely, and the other is from LINUS, saying that he has made the BBS browsing program and sent it to Lin Hong after going online.

Lin Hong looked at their online status. Phylise was not online at the moment, but LINU was just online.

Shoutedly sent a message to Phylized, and then switched to LINUS's chat window.

[STONE: I'm coming. Send me that program.]

[LINUS: Why is it so late today?]

[STONE: I went to New York today and didn't come back until now.]

Then, LINU used the file sharing function of CQCQ to send the source code of the program he developed directly.

[STONE: Did you write this yourself?]

[LINUS: No. The source code of this software was originally developed by the National Supercomputer Application Center at the University of Illinois in the United States, and appeared as early as 1986. Later, it was ported to the MS-DOS platform. At present, it seems that there is also a ported version of it in the latest McKinta system. Its source code is public, and I slightly modified it so that it can run successfully under MINIX.]

Lin Hong saw that this compressed package was called NCSATelnet.ZIP.

[STONE: PKZIP has not been transplanted under this platform yet, right?]

[LINUS: Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot. I also ported PKZIP, but the current compression rate is not up to the level of MS-DOS, but it can be used.]

Then, LINUS sent another package.

[LINUS: The file transfer function of your CQCQ software is so practical that it makes file sharing very convenient. I really like this function!]

[STONE: This is specially optimized for this function.]

[LINUS: Where is your server side? I have observed that few people are using this software now. Aren't you going to release it so that others can enjoy your results?

LINUS likes this software very much, but it is not easy for him to distribute it without Lin Hong's consent.

[STONE: It's on the server of our association, and I'm planning to migrate. That platform is Apple's system, and the operation efficiency is not very good. If it is opened, it may affect the performance of our association's server.]

[LINUS: Do you want me to find a suitable server for you? I know some friends who should be willing to provide.

[STONE: OK. The structure I originally designed is point-to-point, so that all the pressure will not be concentrated on one server and other computers can share it.]

[LINUS: Very good design! I was just about to suggest that you do this, but I didn't expect you to design it like this. One thing I want to remind you is the safety issue. All message transmissions should be encrypted, otherwise the information will be easily intercepted.

[STONE: You're right. The information encryption function seems to be completed first.]

......

While chatting with Linus, Lin Hong began to compile the source code of PKZIP.

Soon he installed PKZIP, used its decompression command, then decompressed NCSATelnet, and then continued to compile.

This compilation process was a little slow. It took about ten minutes to finally compile all the files and finally connect them into an executable file.

After installing NCSATelnet, Lin Hong made a trial.

can indeed successfully log in to visit the BBS of the SAM Association, but he found a problem. The software seems to be a little too bloated, very much about memory and CPU resources, and runs a little slowly.

Lin Hong gave feedback on this problem to LINUS, and was told that it was true.

But now he is too lazy to take the time to optimize. It's good to use it. He is now concentizing on writing the 0.00 version of LINUX, that is, the version that allows the bare machine to start smoothly.

It may be that Lin Hong's computer configuration is lower than that of LINUS. He runs especially slowly, to the point where he can't stand it, so he began to slim down NCSATelnet and remove some functions that he thought could not be used at all.
