Putting aside the difficulty of researching components such as memory and motherboards, the software alone is enough to give Han Chudong a headache.

Although some advanced functions can be seen in the Otto operating system, the programming language used to write the system is very niche. Looking at the entire industry, few manufacturers are using it. The entire computer language field presents a diverse situation of competition, and there is no unified standard.

Many so-called personal computers were little more than electronic calculators with built-in screens, and the industry was still in its infancy and a mess.

After several days of collection and research, Han Chudong finally saw a ray of hope from the clues. He learned from a scientific journal that Bell Labs had tinkered with the C language and developed an operating system called "UNIX" based on the C language, which had processor and process management modules, storage management modules, device management modules, file system and user interface functions.

This surprised Han Chudong very much. After thinking about it, he felt that if he combined this original operating system with the Otto system he got from Xerox, he should be able to develop a more practical and advanced new operating system in a short period of time.

However, troubles also followed. There were too few experts who knew C language, and almost all of them were concentrated in Bell Labs. This meant that if one wanted to develop an operating system of one's own, one had to bring people to Bell Labs to study, or directly engage in in-depth cooperation with this old laboratory.

The operating system is just one of the many troubles. In addition, we must also consider why to produce personal computers and how to sell them to consumers. Han Chudong's original intention of creating this product was to make money. If no one buys it in the end, the result will be the same as the Alto computer. Even if it is given away for free, people will complain that it takes up space.

He was so busy that even Arthur's assistant didn't quite know what Han Chudong was busy with. He only knew that he wanted to study the so-called personal computer. What puzzled him was that the boss had clearly cut off Intel's personal computer project some time ago.

In Arthur's eyes, Intel's personal computers and the personal computers his boss was busy working on were exactly the same thing, and he felt that he was not doing his job properly again.

However, what could he do? Han Chudong was his boss, so he had to complete other tasks first every time he got the chance, and postpone the rest of the work as much as possible. It didn't matter what Han Chudong did.

Time flies, spring goes and summer comes.

The weather in Los Angeles was already very hot in early June. On the 8th, news came from Boeing that the Boeing 747 had been completely modified and passed the flight test.

There was a delay of two months, and an additional one million US dollars was spent on renovating the base cabin, partitioning and building six small bedrooms for guests or bodyguards. At this moment, the plane is flying from London, England to Los Angeles, with only a few flight attendants, pilots, and third-party safety auditors conducting the final test.

The reason for going to London was that Han Chudong bought the entire collection of a minor noble through a middleman, a total of more than 900 pieces. While testing them, he also asked the plane to bring the things back for him.

Considering that the ancestor of that little nobleman was Alfred von Waldersee, a German who was nominated as the marshal of the Allied Forces invading China, Han Chudong was extremely looking forward to this collection that he bought for more than three million US dollars, and naturally did not care about the little money for the fuel of the plane.

It is worth mentioning that after the third round of financing, Mason Trust Fund invested in Boeing. The Boeing shares it currently holds account for 2% of the total market value. The investment focus is still the emerging Walmart and the rapidly expanding KFC. The industries involved are very diversified and have also brought relatively good returns.

Therefore, a fourth round of fundraising plans is being prepared, and it is expected that 200 million US dollars will be raised in one go, taking advantage of the fact that the stock market is still at a low level to complete more layouts as soon as possible.

In fact, compared with the cyclical fluctuations of the stock market, Han Chudong cares more about these companies themselves. A good company can completely ignore the current economic environment, like Walmart and KFC, which are developing rapidly. The earlier you buy, the earlier you can make money. Last year, the upward momentum in the stock market was dragged down, and the increase in the first half of this year was nearly fourteen points. The investors in Mason Trust are crazy with joy, otherwise he would not have the confidence to raise 200 million yuan at once.

As for Han Chudong, he successfully ranked first among businessmen and won the title of the world's richest man, mainly because the decline in crude oil prices led to a drop in the value of Getty Sr.

As expected, I saw the news in the newspaper in April. I was happy for two days, but then there was no further news. However, recently, the number of invitations to events and parties he has received has suddenly increased.

June 8, 1975, a little after noon.

Han Chudong was dozing off in the top-floor apartment of an office building in the city. He had just seen off the inspection team from the City Hall Fire Department yesterday and today began arranging the relocation work. He was going to sublet the original office building, and if it didn't work out, he would just pay some penalty and leave the rest to the office building management department, it wasn't much money anyway and they were all small matters.

He held Mochizuki Kiko in his arms, without much other movement. At this moment, he asked her, "My plane will arrive around three in the afternoon. Let's pack up around two and go to France with me. First to Paris, then to Cannes, and then stay in a winery for a few days, as a summer vacation."

Practice makes perfect.

Some things that are very impressive in the eyes of others become trivial things in his eyes.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

For example, during the simulated roadshow, the valuation of Baofeng Electric climbed to nearly 200 million US dollars, and Rainbow Beauty contributed 150 million US dollars in pre-tax revenue in the first half of the year. These things seemed quite normal to Han Chudong. Although he was happy, he did not feel much surprise.

It cannot be said that he has completely lost interest in making money. It can only be said that when money has completely become a string of numbers in the account, he will not care too much whether it is more or less.

Recently, I have paid more attention to my life. I have arranged a full set of physical examinations for myself and my family. I also take time out for morning jogging and swimming. When I have nothing to do, I will invite other interesting businessmen to play golf and tennis. Last month, I even went to Las Vegas and contributed more than 600,000 US dollars. I was treated as the most distinguished sucker. The drinks and accommodation were all included. Later, I got 100,000 US dollars in chips for free. I put all the chips on the table at once and lost them all.

He spent money to have fun and was prepared to go there often. Some businessmen even offered to build a casino hotel with him, based on the style of the White House and directly copied it to Las Vegas.

Han Chudong didn't agree in the end, because he heard that the businessman was unreliable and didn't have enough money. If he really wanted to invest, he could just buy a casino hotel by himself, and there was no need to form a partnership with anyone...
