Well now, Bai Zirui proposed it himself at the graduation ceremony, and the money was 100 million! This amount of money is not a small amount. You must know that in the whole of Hong Kong, there are probably not more than a hundred people who can spend 100 million.

Some people even include fixed assets and can barely make up 100 million.

Huang Lisong originally thought that Bai Zirui could spend 10 to 20 million, but he never expected that Bai Zirui would spend 100 million to support experiments or start-ups. This is what it feels like to spend a lot of money!

Bai Zirui finally said: "Of course, I will send someone to supervise this money, and the specific application details will be improved. In short, I welcome eligible alumni to apply!"

After he finished speaking, the entire auditorium suddenly burst into deafening cheers. Everyone was extremely excited. Although Bai Zirui's previous speech was very exciting, it was not as exciting as spending 100 million in real money!

After all, it is all the alumni who will benefit this time, and some of them are already thinking about how to apply for the first funds.

After the graduation ceremony, Huang Lisong took Bai Zirui's hand and said gratefully: "Sheng Bai, thank you!" On behalf of the school, I thank you for your support!"

Bai Zirui said modestly: "Principal Huang, this is what I should do."

Huang Lisong enthusiastically invited: "Bai Sheng, it's noon, let's have a meal together! This is also my wish, you must participate!"

Bai Zirui originally wanted to refuse, but he found that Huang Lisong would not let go of his hand, so he had no choice but to agree. You can't push an old man to the ground in front of so many people!

Bai Zirui followed Huang Lisong to the teachers' cafeteria, where some important school leaders also gathered together.

Vice Principal Shen Haipeng, who was sitting in the vice chair, couldn't help but sigh and said: "Bai Sheng, you are really willing to give up, one hundred million is not a small amount!"

After listening to Shen Haipeng's words, everyone was filled with emotion. One hundred million is a number that they will never be able to touch in this life.

Bai Zirui said calmly: "It's okay! To me, 100 million is nothing. The investment of this money will greatly stimulate the entrepreneurship and innovation enthusiasm of students at Xiangjiang University, and I believe it will also bring me rich profits in the future."

return."

One hundred million is nothing. Everyone here felt that this meal was a bit unpalatable. After all, they are billionaires, they just have money!

Bai Zirui definitely doesn't use this money to waste money. He will select outstanding projects to support and take shares. I will support you when you start a business, and when you succeed, I will also make money.

!

Bai Zirui believes in his own vision. He knows the future development direction, so these supported projects will definitely not lose money. Of course, there will be some experimental projects that cannot guarantee 100% success, but he will support them without hesitation.

He hopes that through his actions, he can promote the scientific and technological progress of Xiangjiang. Even if it is a small step, if the small steps add up, it will be enough to promote the development and progress of the entire Xiangjiang!

After the dishes were served, Huang Lisong picked up the wine glass and said, "Sheng Bai, all the teachers and students of Xiangjiang University will thank you for your kindness."

The school leaders next to him also raised their glasses and expressed their gratitude. After all, the money Bai Zirui spent would ultimately benefit the entire school.

Bai Zirui smiled and said: "Principal Huang, fellow school leaders, you're welcome. As a member of the school, this is what I should do. I am not interested in money, I am only interested in spending money.

I feel that if I don’t spend some money, I will make so much money in vain. If the money I spend can cultivate more outstanding talents for Xiangjiang, then I feel that the money will not be wasted!”

Huang Lisong smiled and said: "Bai Sheng, what you said makes sense. You are not allowed to drink alcohol in school. We use tea instead of wine. Let's have a good toast to Bai Sheng!"

Bai Zirui said: "Principal, you are so polite!"

With the graduation ceremony over, Bai Zirui's college life came to an end, and his energy shifted to company management.

The next day, as soon as Bai Zirui arrived at the company, there was good news waiting for him. Two prototypes of Dingtian's first personal computer ABC (Acorn Best Puter) had been manufactured.

The engineers of Dingtian Company are busy working on the advent of the first personal computer - abc (acornbestputer). abc is based on Acorn's original atom computer.

Chris Currie redesigned it and corrected some shortcomings. The configuration of the atom is relatively low, with only 2k ram and 8k rom. In order to reduce costs, various accessories have been streamlined to the extreme, and only the most basic ones can be achieved.

performance.

After Acorn Company merged into Dingtian Company, Chris Currie led the R&D team and completed the prototype design of the ABC computer in nearly a month.

Compared with the previous Atom computer, the memory configuration of the abc computer has been greatly improved. The basic model abc-1 has a memory of 64k, and the improved abc-2 has a memory of 112k.

Bai Zirui originally hoped for three grades of low, medium and high, but Chris Currie did not use them in the actual design. If another low-end model was added, it would overlap with the Atom computers still on the market.

Chris Currie divided the newly developed abc computer into two configurations: basic and advanced. In addition to the improved memory configuration, the biggest change in the abc computer is the addition of various application interfaces, including floppy drive interfaces and serial interfaces.

, parallel interface, analog interface, and a dedicated interface that can expand the second processor.

Of course, the reason why abc is developed so quickly is actually the integration of the research efforts of the Xiangjiang R&D team of Dingtian Company and the team of Acorn Company over the past period of time.

The computers developed by both parties use the mos6502 processor as the core CPU, so the research and development results of both parties can be easily combined. For example, the basic language package included in the abc computer rom is a slightly improved version of the basic in atom.

Upgraded product.

The RoyalTek-Dos operating system developed by the Xiangjiang R&D team, as well as application software such as RoyalTek-word and RoyalTek-table, can be applied to new abc computers with only minor modifications.

In addition, abc computers use many mature accessories from other companies. For example, the floppy drive uses a 5.25-inch floppy disk drive designed by wd company (western digital) with its newly developed wd1770 control chip as the core.

These reasons have greatly shortened the research and development cycle of abc computer. In addition to abc computer, there is also a customized computer developed by Dingtian Company and BBC Radio. This computer is also eight-bit and has more configurations than abc computer.

A bit cruder.

The main focus is cheap prices, and it is mainly aimed at computer novices. This personal computer is named BBCMicro and is mainly sold through BBC channels.

As for Currie Labs, they are currently researching eight-bit extended personal computers and thirty-two-bit personal computers, and the former is almost finalized. All personal computers that have been finalized and are ready to be launched have been arranged for Wanwan computers.
